A cute couple took the stage in Woodruff Auditorium to share the secrets of relationship success last night. The catch? They were two straight men, childhood friends turned college dating coaches, Dave Ahdoot and Ethan Fixell.
Their relationship started in middle school and grew as they did improvisational comedy together in high school, until a certain, special evening.
"One night, we went out on a man date," Ahdoot said. "Ethan took me out to a comedy
in double dating the duo. The ad got thousands of responses and the men went on more than 200 dates. Within a few months, the duo had started their own YouTube series and a touring college comedy show.
"Sit down if you think I'm better looking than Conner Teahan." Abdoot said at the beginning of the show, yelling at the one member of the audience
CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
Their show last night combined comedy, pick-up tricks, dating advice, musical numbers and plenty of audience participation.
Comedy duo Dave and Ethan reenact a crowd volunteer's worst first date experience including a 45 minute drive to Kansas City with an ill tempered blind date during their comedy routine "Dave and Ethan: College Dating Coaches" at Woodruff Auditorium in the Student Union on Tuesday night. The pair first did a hyperbolic reenactment of how the date really went, and then did a reenactment of how, with a few key changes, the date could've been a success.
worked for Comedy Central, so he had VIP everything, and I was like 'Dude, why did you take me instead of a girl? This is really impressive."
Both men saw that they needed dates and posted a Youtube video that linked to an ad on the personals section of Craigslist, which asked for women interested
who stood up.
The jokes were custom-made for KU students, including a reenactment of a day in the life of two female students, which included fawning over Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor in The Underground and dirty dancing in The Hawk's Boom-Boom Room.
"This is great." Fixell said in a high-pitched voiced. "It's like the walls are sweated."
By the end of the scene, the duo made their point: The dating scene at the University is pretty grim, but they were there to help.
Over the next hour, they of-
ferred a variety of tips, and some were demonstrated for the audience. One student who shared her blind-date horror story got to see Ahdoot and Fixell reenact the experience, complete with suggestions on how she could have turned it around. They also offered dating suggestions in the form of a song, accompanied by guitar and a triangle.
The duo endorsed that men should charm women with accents. It worked on Andrea Stewart, a sophomore from Smith Center, who said she would consider dating Fixell if given the opportunity.
"They were really funny so I thought, 'Why not?' Stewart said of why she decided to come to the performance.
She was initially drawn to the show after she saw they were performing at the University and watched their YouTube videos.
Others weren't aware of what they were getting into when they decided to attend the show, like Elizabeth Ryan, a sophomore from Ottawa.
"When I saw the picture saying 'Date us now', I thought it was an ad for actual double dating," Ryan said.
She later realized it was actually an advertisement for their performance and said she was excited to see her first comedy show.

Frustrations surround new printing system
THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM
Clark Waldon, a junior from Prairie Village, uses the touch screen on an Anschutz printer to finish the cycle of printing that is now in place at the library. This new process consists of printing from the computer then actually going to the printer to enter your student information on a touch screen before you receive the print.

The new printing system at libraries across campus has left students frustrated.
As of the beginning of this semester, students who want to print off documents now must follow a specific set of instructions that require them to log in with their ID and password on the printers' touch-screen pads.
Neal Kremers, a junior from Shawnee, thinks the new system is confusing and takes too long to print off documents.
"I tried to print off homework one time, and the line was too long, so I gave up." Kremers said.
"I didn't even know that they switched systems," Kremers said. "A box came up telling me to enter my ID and password. It was pretty confusing, especially because the
Library staff declined to comment on any difficulties with the new system.
Kremers said he thinks that there is a lack of instructions indicating how to print documents.
Students have been expressing their frustrations about the new printing systems all semester.
Kyle Niquette, a senior from Wichita, said he thinks that the library should revert back to its old ways or look at alternative options.
"I don't understand why they even changed systems; there really was nothing wrong with the old way," Niquette said.
"They should give us a pass code every time we print," Niquette said. "It would make it much easier instead of waiting for people to type in their ID and password."
The new printing system, however, gives students the ability to print from any printer in the library by logging on to the printer itself.
Niquette suggested an option that could please both administration and students.
instructions were at the printers and not at the computers."
Even with the advantages, Niquette still doesn't like the new printing system.
"It is nice to be able to go to any printer and not really have to wait for everyone to sort through their documents," Niquette said. "Regardless, they still need to fix the system to make it more user-friendly."

Fox News picks fight with Muppets movie
Here at PoliticalFiber.com, were excited to announce that our website has officially launched. Check it out for news and conversation about politics in Kansas.
There's an unexpected quarrel going on between puppets and a news station. Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog and Fox News are up in arms with each other. According to TIME.com, Eric Bolling of the Fox Business Network accused "The Muppets" movie of being liberal and anti-business in a December episode of "Follow the Money." (For those who haven't seen the movie, the antagonist of "The Muppets Movie" is an oil-industry mogul.)
But in other news, it's the middle of the week, and we could all use a little pick-me-up. So, here's something humorous happening in the realm of politics this week.
Earlier this week, Kermit and Miss Piggly held a conference
"If we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around in a gas-guzzling Rolls Royce?" Kermit says in the video of the press conference, which has more than 1,000,000 views on YouTube.
Miss Piggy's comments, though, came with a side of "zing." She said the accusations were "almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being ... news."
in the United Kingdom and they had a few things to say.
That's not the end of it, though. According to The Huffington Post, Bill O'Reilly addressed the press conference on his show Monday night. In his "Reality Check" segment, O'Reilly joked, "Well, we still like the Muppets, but they'd better watch it."

New website gives look
into Lawrence activities
In the article "Redistricting could change University's representation" from Tuesday, Jan. 31, the lead sentence said, "For the past 10 years, the University has been split into two Republican districts," saying that both districts 2 and 3 were represented by Republican legislators since 2002. Democratic state legislator Nancy Boyda represented district 2 between 2007 and 2009, while democratic state legislator Dennis Moore represented district 3 from 1999 to 2011. State legislators are still in the re-apportionment process.
- In the events calendar entry from Sunday, Jan. 29, the entry listed Richard Norton Smith as the director of the Dole Institute of Politics. He is a presidential historian and was the Dole Institute's first permanent director. The current director of the Dole Institute is William B. Lacy.

The new website larryvilleku.com is a map that will show residents where the latest events, traffic accidents and shopping bargains are in Lawrence.
Launched at midnight today, the site is an aggregated news and content page that looks at RSS and Twitter feeds, bargain deals and restaurant reviews, and police reports so Lawrence residents can see what's going on in and around their neighborhoods.
Larryvilleku.com either detects a
visitor's location through a geolocation device such as a smart phone or computer, or asks the visitor to input a location. It will then give the visitor news, deets and other services located within a one-to-eight-block radius.
The site was created by the University Daily Kansan Advertising staff in conjunction with the KU School of Journalism through a grant from the Knight Foundation.
Jon Schiltt, adviser to the ad staff,
said the site is unique in "how hyperlocal it is."
"You can see what's going on close to your house," he said. "Or if you're on Mass Street, you can get the latest drink specials."
Residents can also submit their own events or parties to the site.
In addition to events, accidents and bargains, the site uses QR codes, neighborhood and Kansan news, geotagged photos from flickr.com and user input to show the locations of news stories, police citations and block parties.

India to buy fighter jets in $11 billion arms deal
NEW DELHI — India is buying 126 French-made combat aircraft in a massive $11 billion deal that will increase the might of the world's fourth largest air force with the first exported Rafale jets, officials said Tuesday.
India has become the world's biggest arms importer as an economic boom has allowed it to push modernization of its military, and major arms manufacturers are wooing the country as it replaces its obsolete Soviet-era weapons and buys new equipment.
Dassault snapped up the 8.4 billion Euro deal with the lower bid in a two-way competition against the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, said an Indian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters about the sensitive defense deal.
"India needs to bolster its fighting capabilities, particularly with long-range strike aircraft," said Rahul Bedi, a defense analyst in New Delhi.
India's air force has around 700 fighter aircraft and is exceeded in size by the United States, Russia and China.
Growing worries about China's fast-expanding military and the decades-old mistrust of Pakistan have fueled India's impetus to add heft to its defense forces.
"India's concern is not just Pakistan, but the longer term threat posed by an aggressive China," Bedi said.
Defense ministry experts were still fine-tuning pricing details, including the cost of on-board weaponry and royalties for producing the aircraft in India. Sarkozy said contract negotiations will begin "very soon."

In this Jan. 28 image released by Mexico's Attorney General's Office on Jan. 31, an official counts money that was seized at the Mexico state airport in Toluca, Mexico.
Mexican official questioned about $1.9 million seizure
VERACRUZ, Mexico — Industry groups, political parties and analysts in Mexico are questioning the odd circumstances of $1.9 million in cash found stuffed into an official's suitcase and backpack at an airport.
Police found it in the luggage of an official who flew into the home state of leading presidential candidate Enrique Pena Nieto.
Veracruz state Finance Secretary Tomas Ruiz said Tuesday the money was an urgent payment for a company that promotes festivals in the state.
But an industry group says such large cash payments are very unusual.
Pena Nieto's campaign refused to comment on the cash seizure, but rival parties suggest it may have been destined for his campaign. Veracruz is governed by Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Cold snap causing deaths among Ukraine's homeless
EUROPE
KIEV, Ukraine — Dozens of homeless people have died in an Eastern Europe cold snap, and some analysts blame a Soviet-era legacy of viewing the homeless as those who need to be punished instead of helped.
Temperatures have plunged to minus 27 C (minus 17 F) in some areas. At least 58 people have died overall in the past week, while hundreds have sought medical help for hypothermia and frostbite. Snow and ice have disrupted traffic and power in some parts.
Ukraine has been among the hardest hit countries. As many as 30 people have died on its snow-covered streets, in hospitals and in their homes in the past four days. Authorities said most of the victims were homeless, and that some victims had been drinking and unaware of the danger.
In one village in the Cherkasy region in central Ukraine, a 44-year-old alcoholic fell asleep on the porch of her house and froze to death, said Olena Didyuk, spokeswoman for the Emergency Situations Ministry.
Ukrainian authorities have set up hundreds of 'heating centers' across the country large green or beige tents — in which the homeless can get warm and are offered sandwiches, boiled potatoes, pork fat (a traditional Ukrainian dish), hot tea and coffee.
Still, more than 540 people have been hospitalized with hypothermia and frostbite, Ukrainian health officials said. Ukraine's 1+1 channel broadcast footage of a man being treated for frostbite in his toes, which had turned completely black.

Nearly 70 percent of Afghans support NATO police presence
KABUL, Afghanistan Less than 25 percent of Afghans say their national police are strong enough to handle security without international forces' help, but three-quarters believe they will be ready by the 2014 NATO handover, according to a U.N. survey released Tuesday.
Support for the NATO military force staying in the country also appeared widespread more than 10 years into the U.S.-led campaign. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed said foreign troops should stay for the time being, compared to about a quarter who said they should leave immediately.
Strengthening the Afghan army and police to fend off the Taliban insurgency is key to NATO's plans to turn over security responsibility by the end of 2014. The U.S.-led coalition is sponsoring efforts to expand the national police to 157,000 by October.

Competition to compare energy usage between three campus buildings
An energy-saving competition between Bailey Hall, Green Hall and Summerfield Hall begins today. Lights Out! is an initiative co-sponsored by the University's Center for Sustainability (sustainabilityku.edu) and Energy Solutions Professionals, an energy-service company in a $25-million contract with the University to update campus energy usage.
In a press release issued by Energy Solutions Professionals on Monday, the competition will compare the energy usage of the three buildings for the next 12 weeks to last year's use during the same time period.
The energy company has sponsored training for building personnel to assist with generating ideas to reduce energy usage. Measures to reduce energy consumptions include turning off lights and equipment when not in use, and replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights, which are six times more efficient.
Concluding April 26, the program intends to have students, faculty and staff sign a personal pledge to save energy, using prizes given out during the competition as an incentive. The building saving the most energy will be treated to a barbecue for all its participants.
Marshall Schmidt
"Although the competition is just 12 weeks, it will help students, faculty, and staff form habits that will help them continue to reduce their impacts," Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said in the press release.

"it's an absolute honor to be included in such a night, and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerveracking, but what a way to get back into it all," Adele said in a statement.
Whether or not Adele was cleared to sing, the style-over-substance singer was the heavy favorite heading into the awards. Her "21" was the top-selling album of 2011, with a final tally of 5.82 million copies moved during the year. Meanwhile, her nominated single "Rolling in the Deep," which will likely be the song Adele performs on the telecast, was the year's bestselling cut with 5.81 million copies.

LOS ANGELES — Sidelined since early October to deal with vocal cord trauma, British singer Adele will return to performing shape at the Feb. 12.
Adele
While rapper Kanye West led the Grammy field with seven nominations, it could be argued that Adele stole the spotlight. West's nods came predominantly in rap categories while Adele's six nominations include the most prestigious categories: record, album and song of the year, giving her a chance to sweep the top Grammy categories.
Adele's 2011 success signaled that songcraft, raw emotion and a dazzling voice can still triumph over artistry. Her "21" is still the No.1 album in the U.S. and has now sold more than 6 million copies. Adele was named best new artist at the 2009 Grammy ceremony.
"A Grammy is like an Oscar," Adele said in 2009. "You win an Oscar when you give the performance of your life. I hope this isn't the performance of my life."

In a major housecleaning, creator and lead judge Simon Cowell decided to boot half the judging quartet from Fox's singing show, which returns for season two this fall.

ST. LOUIS — As the boy wizard in a billion-dollar movie franchise, Daniel Radcliffe grew up before our eyes. But a decade after entering Hogwarts, the actor, now 22, has graduated from Harry Potter to adult roles.
Q: Although this movie is your first adult role, it isn't the first time you've worn Victorian garb. When
Allen Ginsberg. And he's promoting the Gothic horror movie "The Woman in Black," which opens Friday.
Recently we spoke to Radcliffe by phone from New York, where he was completing a successful run on Broadway in the musical "How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying)."
are you going to do a whole movie in blue teens?
A: I know! I hope that at some point in my life, I'll do something contemporary. But I'm not complaining, because I love that steampunk aesthetic and those old costumes. If I could wear them every day without getting beat up, I would.
Q: And you must enjoy exploring haunted mansions.
A: The new movie is a supernatural thriller about a young lawyer whose wife died in childbirth and left him to care for their young son. He is sent to a foggy estate to handle the affairs of a recently deceased woman and is made the target of a very angry ghost. It's pretty frightening, but it was great fun to make, actually.
Q: There are a lot of old dolls in this mansion. Did they give you the creeps?
A: I'm not afraid of old dolls individually, but antique dolls en masse are very creepy. Especially when they move about.
Q: You've been making movies since you were a child, so when you watch movies as a consumer, can you still be scared by them, or do you notice all the tricks?
A: When I first start making
films, I was obsessed with how special effects were achieved. I remember watching the brilliant opening battle sequence of "Gladiator" and thinking: That must have taken ages to make, and a lot of money. But now I can just sit back and enjoy things like everyone else.
Q: Now that the Potter series is over, do you have more time for your own amusements?
A: Not really. After the last Potter film, I had about a month and a half break, but I spent it preparing for this film and for my role (on Broadway) in "How to Succeed in Business." I've always found time to go to the cinema, but I literally cannot remember the last time I was able to go to a club and see a band, although I've been to the Reading music festival several times.
Q: When you're out in public, does it still astonish you to see your own image on billboards or magazine covers?
A: I'm used to it by now. A fellow from "How to Succeed" went on holiday in the Caribbean and he said that the first thing he saw when he got to the hotel was a cardboard cut-out of me. And I thought: Welcome to my world.

Romantic comedies are my favorite types of movies because there is never anything in them that haunts my dreams or makes me hide my eyes behind a blanket. They are composed of funny, cheesy and sweet scenes woven together into a happy ending.
By Jon Samp
jsamp@kansan.com
As a man, it is hard to admit that I enjoy this genre, especially when these movies are classified as "chick flicks" and, when mentioned, make most men shudder and try to pretend that they, like Keanu Reeves, have no emotion. There is a spark in these films though. It is almost magic when main characters change through a montage of scenes and music, making mistakes at first but eventually bettering themselves. It is hard to admit that I like this transformation but, like butter, it makes me melt.
Recently, however, I watched "A Walk to Remember" and noticed something that startled me. The male in the film is at first a jerk, so in order to make up for his misakes, he bends over backwards for his newly found love. He changes his entire life, stops playing his punk music and even calls her his "angel." While women swoon over
the preciousness of these moments, I can not help but notice that the girl in the film is just waiting to be swept off her feet.
If you aren't familiar with the film, the guy asks a girl to go to a cemetery with him, then lays down a blanket and proceeds to have a picnic with her among the graves. The music swells, their noses touch and before anyone knows it, there is a scene of the next day leaving the imagination to wonder what teenage fornication may have occurred.
The girl in the movie puts forth no effort to woo the male whatsoever. I always thought that the complicated road map of relationships was composed of two-way streets. Apparently in the movies at least, it's a one-way highway.
Nobody likes to be in a one-
sided relationship. It is scary to be the one who cares more about the other person, because you are the one who has everything to lose. Romantic comedies are special in that they usually work out in the end, when the same situation in real life would never work.
I propose that, as a people, we try to see why that guy posted on your wall and somehow got your number. Perhaps, he saw something special in you and truly cares about your well-being and wanted to take a chance. This act of courage shouldn't always be chalked up to creepiness; in the movies, it is the sweetest thing in the world. But who am I to say? I am just a guy who enjoys romantic comedies.
If I tried to take someone with me to have a picnic in a cemetery, I would be deemed the creepiest guy to have ever creeped. Movies set a confusing expectation for men. In movies, men give it their all and are immortalized for their sweet antics, but in real life, men are chastised for similar efforts. What do women want from us?

Valuing beauty over health can carry a dangerous price
Toward the end of last semester, I noticed a mole on my right thigh was growing in size, changing colors and had an irregular border and asymmetrical shape, which fit most of the criteria for melanoma.
Eventually, I couldn't ignore this anymore and I had to get it checked by a dermatologist. He agreed that the mole looked awfully suspicious and immediately took a biopsy, promising results within a week.
By Mandy Matney
mmatney@kansan.com
I spent the next week kicking myself, almost convinced that I had a cancer that was completely self-inflicted.
Staring at the patch of skin the doctor removed, I came to the realization that I did regret something: I regret the hours I spent in a tanning bed, trying to fit an image than I just wasn't.
I was born a redhead with light skin that burns easily and lots of freckles. Growing up, very few people looked like me and because of that, I always assumed I was ugly.
So, I pretended as if my genetics were something I could change and I just tanned (and occasionally burnt) the crap out of my skin
And the beauty magazines I bought as a teenager reinforced this belief, associating pale skin with ugliness, dullness and lifelessness.
for years so I could feel confident "in my own skin" so to speak.
Not only did I tan to get that darker-skin-with-the-sexy-glow look (even in mid-winter in Kansas, which really doesn't even make sense), I grew addicted to the endorphin fix tanning gave me.
I did all of this completely aware of the consequences. I knew that every time I lay in a tanning bed I was increasing my chance of getting a disease that could possibly kill me. In fact, indoor tanning before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma by 75 percent, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Eventually, sometime around my sophomore year, I finally decided it was time to break my habit. I decided that I looked awfully dumb in the middle of a Kansas winter with sun-kissed cheeks, tanned skin and strawberry-blonde hair.
I decided that it was time to embrace my natural pale skin and
quit using the little money I had on tanning packages and lotions I thought I needed to feel good about myself. I realized that tanning is an industry and the media want us to desire a tan because they make money from it. I decided that I could get endorphins from other, healthier sources, like exercise.
Like most bad habits, as soon as I stopped tanning for about a month, I didn't really miss it. Much to my surprise, I got just as much attention from guys when I was pale as when I had that "healthy glow." It turned out, I didn't need to be tan to feel good about myself. (Self-tanner helped a little, too).
Luckily, the results on my mole came back negative and I'm cancer-free, for now.
It's a cultural norm for college students to do self-destructive things to our bodies (drinking, smoking, drugs), but few of us take the time to actually think about the long-term effects of our actions.
And, looking back, I do regret that I damaged my skin and risked the future of my health for the sake of my appearance. To me, that just isn't worth it.

LITERATURE
Questioning life's purpose
"The Fault in Our Stars" confronts how the universe reaches out to us
The best-read novel, at least in my judgment, is the one that successfully detaches its themes from itself. By that, I mean upon finishing the last page, the reader does not necessarily reflect on the novel itself, but immediately begins to assign whatever provoked emotions or thoughts the story produced to his or her own cosmos. One such novel is newly released "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green.
The story features Hazel, a terminally ill 16-year old girl who struggles to see the heroisms in her battle with lung cancer that those close to her praise. She detests attending her cancer support group until she meets a boy named Augustus at one of the meetings.
Augustus, or "Gus," is a cancer survivor, though he lost a leg in the process of treatment. Gus is a nearly perfect character—almost too perfect. He is attractive, charismatic and spontaneous, and he also has a fondness for poetic metaphor.
Early on,
I feared
that the novelmight be another
shy-girl-falls-in-love-with-impossibly-perfect-guy story, but, as it progressed it became apparent that author John Green is so much more sophisticated than that.
Hazel and Gus are brought close together by a mutual obsession with a fiction novel that
also happens to be about a cancer-stricken teen written by an eccentric author named Peter Van Houten. Frustrated with the unanswered questions the book raises, the two decide to fly halfway across the world to ask Van Houten for answers.

crafted messages, ones that make all of the misfortunes in the characters' lives somehow bearable.
While "The Fault in Our Stars" is laced with witty humor and young love, Hazel's illness prevents the reader from ever feeling truly comfortable. I think this tension enforces Green's message that fate is not a thing to be feared, but instead met with open arms. Hazel rejects the notion that death should be a pitiful and sugarcoated eulogy.
Instead, she feels that, in an existence where people want to be
here people want to be noticed by the universe around them, the "universe" only wishes to be noticed by people. Through the mediums of disease, love and nature Hazel realizes the universe is only trying to reach out to her. To me, Hazel's theory shows that it is only when we are confronted with our fates that
we are most lucid and alive.
"The Fault in Our Stars" is quite frankly one of the best stories I've ever read, and its rave reviews are fully justified. As a reader, I felt more invested in Hazel and Gus's relationship than those in many other books I've read. Green's story is funny, tragic, melancholy, inspiring and most things in between. Should you decide to pick up a copy of "The Fault in Our Stars" the next time you go shopping, you will be greatly rewarded.

Higher costs mean pricier parking tickets
Despite rising costs, students can still dispute tickets
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Because Chi Omega doesn't have enough parking spaces, Lindsey Mitchell, a sophomore from Pratt, decided to buy a yellow permit and park at Memorial Stadium, but she estimates that she spent hundreds of dollars on parking tickets last semester.
"I am not a big sports fan," Mitchell said. "I never knew when the games were, and time after time, I got ticket for being parked there on game days."
The tickets Mitchell received are just a portion of the 18,062 tickets issued by University Parking and Transit last semester, which ran from Aug. 22, to Dec. 16, 2011.

Parking ticket prices had not increased in several years, and the change in pricing was necessary to keep up with rising costs, said Angela Lumpkin, University Parking Commission chairwoman.
"The parking department is self-sustaining." Lumpkin said. "It literally has to pay for everything that has to do with parking, and when the cost to operate goes up, they have to make up that revenue."

It is $5 to apply, but if you win your case, your fee will be paid by the Parking and Transit office.
Traffic court screens all cases before acceptance, so it is important to include as much information as possible on your application, said Jake Lowenthal, a second-year law student from Maui, Hawaii, and chief defense attorney of traffic court.
Lowenthal said it is important to appeal your ticket if you think you have a legitimate case because changes are implemented by Parking and Transit through appeals.
"We have meetings with the parking department to get on the same page of common problems we see," Lowenthal said. "A lot of the decisions that are rendered in court will cause the parking department to implement changes."
Changes are also made because of feedback given to parking and transit, Lumpkin said.
"They aren't trying to make your life miserable," Lumpkin said. "Tickets are issued to keep things running smoothly. We are responsible and responsive, so if there is a problem, providing comments can correct that."

College students visit a statue of Jesus Christ at Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana. The U.S. Forest Service said yesterday that it will re-authorize a permit for this 57-year-old, as it had been facing eviction because it's on federal land.
Jesus statue won't face eviction at ski resort
HELENA, Mont. — The mountaintop Jesus can stay at a northwest Montana ski resort — for now.
The religious statue, which has been on federal land since 1955, was allowed to remain in place for at least 10 more years after the U.S. Forest Service reversed its eviction order Tuesday. The initial decision came amid heated debate over the separation of church and state.
The agency had faced a firestorm of criticism from religious groups, the state's congressman and residents after it decided last year to boot the
Jesus statue from its hillside perch.
After the agency's about-face, opponents promised a lawsuit within the week. They argue the statue's free placement is unconstitutional.
The statue has been a curiosity at the famed Big Mountain ski hill for decades, mystifying skiers with its appearance in the middle of the woods.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which argues the religious statue does not belong on public land, said it anticipated the agency's reversal. It argues that the Forest Service was breaching separation of church and state by leasing land for the Jesus statue.

Pending bill could alter online privacy
MICHAEL CLARK
mclark@kansan.com
A controversial bill regarding retention of Internet records passed through committee and was approved for consideration by Congress in December.
The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 would require Internet providers to retain archives of every subscriber's online activity for up to 18 months, including phone records, credit-card numbers, websites visited and bank-account data.
Max Ayalla, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., who works at Information Technology, said he's worried about the information's security.
"If someone hacks into the data, it would be disastrous," he said.
Another issue is the measure's effectiveness and legality. Under U.S.Code Title 18 Chapter 121, to obtain the records from Internet providers, no probable cause is needed; the government would only have to request a warrant or find a judge who is willing to give them one. Subscribers with no criminal record are also subject to requests.
Supporters of the bill argue that law enforcement is unable to track child pornographers under current laws.
"Child pornography may be the fastest growing crime in America, increasing an average 150 percent per year," stated Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) in a news release. "These disturbing images litter the Internet, and pedophiles can purchase, view or exchange this material with virtual anonymity. Investigators need the assistance of ISPs to identify users and distributors of online child pornography."
Critics of the bill see ineffective legislation with high potential for abuse.
Professor of Law Stephen McAllister said the Jan. 23 ruling in Jones v. United, which declared the warrant-less attachment of a
Child pornographers often use proxies such as The Onion Router, which mask a person's Internet protocol address, or submit illicit material through public Wi-Fi.

"It poses numerous risks that well outweigh any benefits, and I'm not convinced it will contribute in a significant way to protecting children," said Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) in a judiciary hearing.

It is the sense of Congress to encourage electronic communication service providers to give prompt notice to their customers in the event of a breach of the data retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18 of the United States Code, in order that those effected can take the necessary steps to protect themselves from potential misuse of private information...

"To the extent it may permit government effectively to engage in surveillance - without a warrant

about whether the Court would have to consider new ways of looking at expectations of privacy in the digital age, and she gave examples of all sorts of activities that might be monitored, like Internet and cell phone usage, but in which people would expect privacy."
The bill currently has 39 co-sponsors.

Test scores falsified at university
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - A senior administrator at Claremont McKenna College resigned after acknowledging that he falsified college entrance exam scores for years to publications responsible for ranking the small school among universities, an official said.
An investigation was launched after inaccuracies were detected in the SAT scores reported for the class entering in fall 2011, college president Pamela B. Gann told staff members and students in an email message on Monday.
The senior admissions official sole responsibility for falsifying scores sent since 2005 to publications such as U.S. News & World Report, she said. The name of the official was not released.
"As un institution of higher education with a deep and consistent commitment to the integrity of all
Claremont McKenna, located in a small town 30 miles east of Los Angeles, is currently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the ninth-best liberal arts college in the country.
No one at the college has explained what would drive the senior administrator at such a prestigious institution to falsify the figures.
However, college admissions experts said the incident came amid growing competition among students to win acceptance to a top school and among colleges to lure top students.
our academic activities, and particularly our reporting of institutional data, we take this situation very seriously," Gann said.
The 1,200-student campus places a strong academic focus on political science and economics, and boasts graduates including actor Robin Williams and U.S. Rep.
David Dreier.
The school said reading and math SAT scores were each inflated by an average of 10 or 20 points. For example, the school reported a median SAT score of 1410 instead of 1400 for the fall 2010 entering class, Gann said.
The college has hired a law firm to conduct an independent review of its admissions-related data processes and has been reaching out to agencies that use the data ranging from education publications to Moody's to set the record straight, said Max Benavidez, a spokesman for the school.
U. S. News & World Report will not change its current rankings but will evaluate the impact of the falsification on the school's profile, said Robert J. Morse, director of data research for the publication. These scores have a weight of 7.5 percent in determining a school's ranking.

Gov. Brownback to speak about human trafficking
Gov. Sam Brownback will speak at "Ending Human Trafficking: A conversation with Kansas Governor Sam Brownback" about issues related to human trafficking tomorrow at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is organizing the event, which is aimed at educating the campus community on human trafficking and how people can stop it.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, "Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world and is tied
a co-sponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.
"Kansas serves as a major route for traffickers who exploit victims through sex trafficking and forced labor," wrote ETWRC program director Kathy Rose-Mockry in an email.
Brownback will discuss how trafficking affects Kansas and what is being done to stop it on the state level. He is
with the illegal arms industry as the second-largest criminal industry in the world today."
The Kansas Union Ballroom is located on the fifth level of the Kansas Union.

Romney wins in Florida, Gingrich vows to continue
POLITICS
TAMPA, Fla. — Mitt Romney won a commanding victory in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding from defeat a week earlier and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the one-sided result Newt Gingrich vowed to press on.
"Thank you FLI!" an exuberant Romney tweeted minutes after the race was called. "While we celebrate this victory, we must not forget what this election is really
about; defeating Barack Obama."
The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far.
Returns from slightly more than half of Florida's precincts showed Romney with 47 percent of the vote, to 33 percent for Gingrich.
But the bigger prize was precious political momentum in the race to pick an opponent for Democratic President Barack Obama this fall.
That belonged to Romney when he captured the New Hampshire primary three weeks ago, then swung stuningly to Gingrich when he countered with a South Carolina upset 11 days later.
Now it was back with the former Massachusetts governor, after a 10-day comeback that marked a change to more aggressive tactics, coupled with an efficient use of an overwhelming financial advantage.

KANSAS LOSES
IN OVERTIME
PAGE 3B
During former coach Mark Mangino's early years at Kansas, the Jayhawks made a point to dig a trench of recruiting ties to help players frequently flow from Texas to Kansas. Now, Charlie Weis may be reversing the trend that Mangino relied heavily on.
SENDING YOU HOME
SOONER
EVERY YEAR
PAVILION L
GO KANSAS
Mangino's first full recruiting class came in 2003. He recruited 27 players. Only one called Texas home. His second class contained 21 commitments. 11 were from Texas. The next two classes followed suit with seven and 10 Texans, respectively.
Under the Mangino era, as well as the Turner Gill stint, Kansas football seemed to carry the perception — from the outside, at least — that it could not survive without Texas.
And with the way recruiting had gone, leading up to even this year's class, it would appear that Kansas believed in its reliance on Texas from the inside, too. The Jayhawks had 38 players on its 2011 roster from Texas.
It's easy to see why Kansas relied on leftovers from the University of Texas, Texas A&M, TCU and Texas Tech. After all, the two biggest stars from the 2008 Orange Bowl's winning team hailed from the Lone Star State.
Three of Weis' juco commitments have been a quarterback, running back and a wide receiver. They're from Connecticut, Washington and Washington D.C. The range is something Kansas football has never seen before.
The next Kansas coach may not have the connections to escape the all-Texas route. But for now, Weis and his staff have rid Kansas of its "Texas forever" ways, a change that is best for the program.
Edited by Gabrielle Schock
His big three — Dayne Crist, Jake Heaps and Justin McCay — are from California, Washington and Kansas.
And Charlie Weis has started to make sure the Jayhawks no longer rely on such chance instances. He won't allow the program's main course to be the small morsels of BCS-quality players who slide through the Texas panhandle and across the Oklahoma border.
That team boasted Texan quarterback Todd Reeing and cornerback Aquib Talib. But both players' crucial success was more of a well-timed fluke than a product of a successful recruiting machine. Both players were two-star players out of high school. A result of good scouting and luck.
COMMENTARY
So far, Weis has landed 12 commitments since he took over at Kansas. There is sure to be some shuffling with signing-day today, but so far, Weis has utilized, but not relied on, recruits from Texas.
While Kansas has landed four Texas players under Weis, it appears he's using the state's talents for depth purposes, while looking elsewhere to gain top-end players.
What happened in 2008 does not happen often in college football.
Weis has unique strategy
And when the Jayhawks do look to Texas, they boast three-time Super Bowl champion and former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo to help beef up the quality of players looking to leave the fertile southlands of college football and head to Kansas.

KANSAS 68, OKLAHOMA 74
HARD-FOUGHT LOSS
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
This was Kansas' game to win or lose. Heading into overtime, the Jayhawks had the momentum after junior guard Monica Engelman ended regulation with a three-point shot at the buzzer. Junior forward Carolyn Davis scored the first points in overtime, but the Jayhawks slowed down.
Kansas dropped a 74-68 overtime loss to Oklahoma. This is the latest loss in a series of 14-straight nine of which came under coach Bonnie Henrickson against the Sooners. Kansas falls to 16-5 overall and 5-4 in conference play with the loss.
The Jayhawks were outscored 10-4 in overtime and were forced to foul when they found themselves down four with under a minute left.
"Unfortunately, our momentum kind of died off with them being more aggressive, but you have to learn from that," Engelman said.
After Davis' basket, senior forward Aishah Sutherland scored, but the remaining possessions consisted of missed shots and turnovers for the last 3 minutes and 24 seconds of overtime.
"We made some mistakes and it bit us, it really did," junior guard Goodrich said.
Goodrich led the Jayhawks with a series of athletic plays and 18 points followed by Davis with 17 and junior guard Engelman with 11.
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior forward Carolyn Davis were on and off the bench with foul trouble, so junior guard
Angel Goodrich went to work. She finished with an impressive nine rebounds, six assists and a steal in 44 minutes of play.
Goodrich left the game early in the second half and went back to the locker room. She said after the game that she was feeling wooxy and was disappointed that she let that affect her game.
"I felt like I wasn't myself the first half and I can't let that get to me." Goodrich said.
Kansas built up an early 17-10 lead, but had to fight back by the end of the first half with a three pointer at the buzzer from Goodrich near the end of the Oklahoma bench to take a two point lead into the half. In the second half, it built up the lead again and led by nine with just under 10 minutes to play, but again relied on a huge shot, this time from Engelman, to send the game to overtime.
"For a team to make a run on you, you have to be like
and the lead changed 12 times throughout this battle of momentum.
The Jayhawks were out-rebounded and outscored in the paint. They were also held to shooting only 38.2 percent from the field.
"Both teams had a lead and had a chance to make a run; they had the last one and held onto it the longest," Henrickson said.
"On a positive note, think we competed," Engelman said. "We were very aggressive on both ends, defensively and offensively, and I think we just didn't get the result that we wanted."
Kansas will travel to No.18 Texas A&M at 7 p.m.on Saturday.The Jayhawks lost their previous match-up,76-65 in Lawrence.

Kansas returns to action against Oklahoma tonight after losing its first conference game Saturday to Iowa State, 72-64. Before the loss, the Jayhawks were on a 10-game winning streak dating back to Dec. 19.
"Losses are okay as long as you learn from them," said coach Bill Self Tuesday before practice. "I thought our Davidson loss probably helped us for at least a month."
Self said his team had a long film session on Monday, and the problems the Jayhawks faced in the loss to Iowa State — mainly rebounding — are all correctable. The team just needs more energy against Oklahoma tonight, he said.
Junior forward Thomas Robinson had a quiet game against the Cyclones. He finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and five turnovers. Nothing to worry about. Self said. It just wasn't one of Robinson's best games. The team will work on getting its National-Player-of-the-Year candidate more touches in the next few games — starting tonight with Oklahoma— to get him back on track.
Kansas won the first meeting
"We're going to force-feed it to him over the next week or two to get him where he knows that that's where his bread is buttered." Self said.
with Oklahoma in Norman on Jan. 7, 72-61. The Sooners have gone 3-3 since then. They did sweep a ranked Kansas State team in that stretch, however, with a 63-60 victory in Manhattan Monday night.
"Being able to go into Manhattan and win is tough for a lot of teams to do," senior guard Conner Teahan said. "So if they can go do that, they can definitely come here and win, so we have to come ready to play tomorrow."
Self and Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger spoke after the Jan. 7 game, and Kruger said his Sooners needed to score more consistently, which Self believes they're doing now.
"They're playing better and scoring easier," Self said. "I think Osby and Clark have shot the ball well and have been much more aggressive. They're just a better basketball team."
With the first meeting with No.4 Missouri on Saturday night and all the hoopla that the Border Showdown brings with it, looking past an average Oklahoma could be considered a problem. But, Self doesn't seem concerned.
"I certainly believe the Iowa State sting should mean more than obviously looking ahead to what will be a big game on Saturday," Self said. "The way to make it a big game on Saturday is to take care of business on Wednesday."

THE MORNING BREW Show spirit at games, not on YouTube
A message to aspiring musicians who want to show their college sports fandom and creativity through a music video on YouTube: just don't.
Once again, for the sake of your fanbases' dignity - just don't do it.
Those who watched the "We are Mizzou" music video witnessed some corny choreography and an autotuned musical disaster. The song opens with the question, "What's the worst part about Arkansas?... it has 'Kansas' in it." And it was pretty much all downhill from there. For 3 minutes and 34 seconds, the musical trio of Andrew Carter, Matt Roberts and Tanner Brandell flaunted SEC shirts and danced around on the court of Mizzou Arena.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
For those who have not seen the video, consider yourself lucky.
Now, this is not just a shot at Kansas' SEC-bound rival. The let's-show-how-much we-love-our-team-in-rhythmic-
fashion epidemic has victimized the Kansas Jayhawks as well. Last year, Kansas City rapper B Double E released his KU-themed cover of Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow." The song, "Red and Blue KU," currently has more than 350,000 views on YouTube and actually got a positive response from Jayhawk Nation. However, the video definitely has its awkward moments, and there are so many covers of "Black and Yellow" that this song lacks originality.
The real enigma arises when the
universities themselves sponsor these videos that are destined for YouTube humiliation. On Saturday, Murray State University's official YouTube channel posted the video "Murray State Anthem" by student rappers Trubz 'N' Matlock.
As college basketball's lone undefeated team, Murray State definitely has a reason to be excited, but I'm not sure that a university-made rap video does the Racers' basketball team much justice. Although the video blows away "We are Mizzou" in production quality, the fact that the basketball team and school administrators are featured in the video makes it look like a running joke. Murray State fans should probably thank the Tigers for dominating the Internet backlash as both videos were posted within a day of each other.
Kansas' in-state rival Kansas State is notorious for YouTube disasters. The "Power Towel" video from the Ron Prince days in 2007 currently has 334,000 views on YouTube. The video
KU
urges Kansas State students to bring their "Power Towels" for future games, and then Willie the Wildcat randomly strums a guitar for a minute. Although the video was posted in 2007, it could honestly pass for the late 80's with the horrid explosions and graphics in the background.
I think we all know about the "EcoKat" debacle of 2011, which received such a hostile response that Kansas State seemingly removed the footage from the face of the Earth.
From now on, if fans want to show their school spirit, leave the cameras and microphones at home and just go to the games.

FOOTBALL
Junior-college recruits to sign for 2012 season
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
If only for a few hours this afternoon, Kansas football will shift jayhawk fans' attention from basketball games to the future of the
orball program.
Today is national signing day, where recruits turn their verbal commitments to a school into a signed document. That document is a national letter of intent, which officially links a player to his school and vice versa.
PETER BOLLER
Weis
E
Ford
And it also
marks Charlie Weis' first opportunity to show that he has started to find the answer to the simple rhetorical question he asked in his introductory press conference at Kansas.
"Why is the University of Kansas 2-10, and why is Kansas State 10-2?" Weis said on Dec. 9, 2011. "I don't have that answer, but that's what I'm here for. I'm here to figure out why that it is, and see what we're going to do to change that."
While Weis has only been on the job about two months, he has managed to bring in eight high school players — six of whom weren't committed when Turner Gill was at Kansas — seven junior college transfers and three transfers from other universities.
Weis worked quickly, gaining three five-star transfers, quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps, along with wide receiver Justin McCay. But the meat of his class will still depend on how the junior-college commitments pan out.
Just as Kansas State coach Bill Snyder tends to do, Weis has brought a load of high-level junior college players, a rarity for Kansas football. Aaron Cedeño of scout. com and phog.net said the juco commitments are huge for the Jayhawks.
"You have to trust the talent evaluation of Weis and his staff," Cedeno said. "Look all the guys that they've signed look like good prospects and high-character kids. I think they'll all be called upon from day one."
Of those seven junior college commitments, three are defensive tackles, a position Kansas desperately needed to improve after finishing last in the NCAA in total defense last season. The juco transfers will help the line since they can immediately play and
they have experience at a higher level than high school football
Along with the defensive tackles, Cedeno said his favorite prospect who has committed to Kansas so far is wide receiver Joshua Ford. Ford spent a year at Arizona Western Community College and picked the Jayhawks' offer over offers from Miami and Maryland.
According to rivals.com, the 6-foot-4-inch receiver runs a 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds and will be a valuable addition to a position that was hurting last year.
The addition of Ford shows that while Weis may not have fully answered his rhetorical question about Kansas' in-state rival, he has certainly gotten his start.
"When you're talking about getting up there with the recruiting battles, I think he's done about what I thought he would be, which is to say he's done very well," Cedeño said. "He's addressed the needs immediately. They've targeted juco guys to come in and help right away, and then they've addressed most of the major needs in the program, and I don't think they're done. On the surface, they're recruiting very well."

Griffin's dunk electrifies Clippers to beat OKC
LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin's jaw-dropping one-handed jam over Kendrick Perkins sent Los Angeles Clippers fans into a frenzy, fired up his teammates and lit up the Twitter universe.
Griffin had 22 points to go with Chris Paul's 26 points and 14 assists in a 112-100 victory Monday night that snapped
the Oklahoma City Thunder's four-game winning streak in a matchup of division leaders.
Griffin downplayed his monster move after the game, a sly smile only briefly breaking his serious expression.
DeAndre Jordan grabbed Griffin from behind in a celebratory bear hug as the basket got replayed over and over in the third quarter. Jordan, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds, couldn't help himself.
"He armlocked me," Griffin said. "I couldn't breathe.
Paul had 26 points and 14 assists, Caron Butler also had 22 points, Chauney Billups scored 13 and Mo Williams 12 as the Pacific-leading Clippers dunked with high-flying abandon against the team with the NBA's best record at 16-4.

Without center Andrew Bogut, the Bucks are now relying on their bench to step up. Gooden has done just that, scoring 23 points against both the Lakers and the Bulls over the weekend. After putting up 16 against Detroit on Monday, Gooden has now scored at least 10 points in four consecutive games, averaging 17.4 points and 9.4 rebounds as a starter.

Grizzlies grab victory from Denver in overtime
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — O.J. Mayo scored 18 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 35 seconds left in overtime, as the Memphis Grizzlies snapped a four-game losing streak with a 100-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.
Mayo's basket gave Memphis a 98-97 lead, and two free throws by Mike Conley
with 8 seconds left gave Memphis the final margin. Rudy Fernandez's potential tying 3-point attempt in the closing seconds for Denver bounced off the rim, sending the Nuggets to their second straight loss.
Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol both overcame poor shooting nights to lead Memphis with 20 points apiece.

Goodrich's highlight of the night was a three-point heave to beat the buzzer in the first half to put the Jayhawks up two going into the locker room.
Other than the miracle fling, Goodrich also stuffed the state sheet tonight with 18 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. When junior forward Carolyn Davis picked up an early foul in the second half, Goodrich picked up the slack with two straight baskets and a block of Oklahoma's Sharane Campbell.

Clutch shots force game into overtime
RYAN MCCARTHY
There was a clear pattern throughout last night's women's basketball game against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks would play aggressive defense, make a lot of shots near the basket, and build up a lead.
For the Kansas players, this was a deflating loss, especially after the Jayhawks were ranked for the first time in two seasons.
However, the Oklahoma Sooners continued to make runs of their own and eventually overtook the Jayhawks 74-68 in overtime.
"We felt like we should have had this game, and we made mistakes," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "And for us to do that, we let each other down."
With a stagnant offense
"I didn't think it was going to go in, because, first of all, she was right there," Goodrich said. "I was a little shocked it went in, but it felt really nice to go in with a little moment."
"Any small thing that if it happened in the first half, it wouldn't be a big deal. But in a one possession game, and time's running down, those plays matter," Engleman said.
Despite hitting the big shot, Engleman only finished 4 of 15 from the floor for 11 points.
throughout the game, Kansas could never get into the rhythm it needed to win.
at halftime.
Kansas had another clutch shot on the night, but this one involved a little more luck.
With four seconds remaining in the first half, Goodrich began to dribble hard down the court, trying to avoid stepping out of bounds. As she glided past half-court, she flung the ball toward the basket just before the red light turned on to signal the half. A few seconds later, the ball dropped to the bottom of the net, giving the Jayhawks a two-point advantage
Although a few Kansas players had shining moments, the team now knows the most important thing is victories. Sitting at 16-5 on the season, Kansas needs to be able to win at home and win a few on the road.
"We went into a couple slumps in this game. We can't let that happen," Goodrich said. "If we're in a slump, we have to take care of it on defense and then get our momentum back coming in transition or something."
After sputtering to the end of regulation, Kansas put together a nice series of fundamental plays.
"Any time you lose at home, you look at all three of them have been gut-wrenching," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "In this league, you've got to be able to take care of your home court and we haven't done that."
With 10 seconds remaining and the Jayhawks down three, Goodrich found junior guard Monica Engleman, who was open on the right side of the court. Junior forward Carolyn Davis had set an ideal screen, and Engleman pulled up and drained a three, sending the game into overtime.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCI
With their first Big 12 loss in the past, the Jayhawks hope to get back on track against the Sooners, whom they beat 72-61 on Jan. 7 in Norman, Okla. In that game, like most of their close games this season, the Jayhawks' offense started off slowly. Junior guard Travis Releford saved the team, scoring 28 points. Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who posted 13 points and 7 rebounds on Saturday against Iowa State, will aim to establish himself early and forget about his below-average performance in this weekend's loss.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Thomas Robinson, forward
Many have robbed Robinson the best player in the nation, but on Saturday, against Iowa State's sophomore forward Royce White, Robison wasn't even the
Robinson
best player on the floor. At the post-game press conference, Robinson said he wasn't playing his game. He traveled on pivots near the basket and wasn't able to dictate with his size and strength. Against a less-intimidating Oklahoma front-court, Robinson will have a better chance to achieve a double-double.
Will Kansas stay focused with Missouri awaiting on Saturday?
QUESTION MARK
Kansas can't afford to look past Oklahoma, who beat Kansas State 63-60 on Saturday. With this weekend's Border Showdown game in Columbia, Mo., looming, it could be easy to overlook the Sooners. However, if the Jayhawks do so, they could be facing the Missouri Tigers after two-straight losses. In past struggles, Self has said that his team lacks focus and energy. The Jayhawks' home-court advantage might provide that much-needed focus and energy in tonight's game.
HEAR YE HEAR YE
"The way to make it a big game on Saturday is to take care of business on Wednesday."
Bill Self, on not overlooking Oklahoma before Saturday's game at Missouri
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas holds their ground at home. A handful of losses on the road won't derail any dreams of an eighth-consecutive Big 12 championship as long as the Jayhawks take care of business at home. And with a tough stretch of road games against Missouri, Baylor and Kansas State coming up, beating teams like Oklahoma at home are a must.

TYSHAWN TAYLOR. GUARD
Taylor has been the team's most-consistent player recently, and, yes, you read that correctly. The once-erratic Taylor has become one of the most reliable guards in the nation. He's surrendered two or fewer turnovers in each of the past three games, which is certainly an upgrade from his 11 turnovers against Duke and eight against Kansas State. If his teammates start out slowly again, Taylor won't be afraid to attack the hoop and take shots from deep.
ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD
After a hiccup against Texas A&M, Johnson returned to his role as a do-it-all player. He tallied 10 points, three assists, two steals and one rebound against Iowa State. That one rebound wasn't enough for coach Bill Self, who blamed his guards for the rebounding deficit on Saturday. Johnson also recorded four fouls and four turnovers, so it wasn't a squeaky-clean outing. A few three-pointers would aid his team and help them rely on defense to win.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Releford played his typically rugged defense on Saturday, but he only grabbed two rebounds. While Releford is listed as a guard, he plays more like a forward and does much of his work near the basket. He'll never approach the bench in key situations, not with the way he hassles his opponents. But if Releford isn't cleaning up rebounds and scrambling for loose balls against Oklahoma, Kansas will become average fast, as Self often says.

THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
Teams improve for rematch Kansas hopes to focus after Iowa State loss NO.8 KANSAS VS.OKLAHOMA 8 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE
★★★★
In Kansas' first three losses of the season — against Kentucky, Duke and Davidson, — Robinson still posted a double-double in each game. During the loss against Iowa State, he couldn't reach the mark, and Royce White completely dominated him. Against a weaker Oklahoma frontcourt, Robinson should return to form. He posted 18 points and 9 rebounds in the Jan. 7 game at Oklahoma. Fans should expect similar numbers tonight.
★★★★
It's hard to blame Withey for White's monstrous performance on Saturday. Withey can block with the best of them, and he's progressing as a rebounder. However, Withey's defense on the perimeter isn't his strong suit just yet. He got into foul trouble against Iowa State, because White has a knack for getting to the free-throw line. But if Withey gets into foul trouble against the Sooners, Kansas fans might have an unpleasant trend to monitor.

PLAYER TO WATCH
The Sooners held a one-point lead over the Jayhawks in their first meeting on Jan. 7 but eventually fell, 72-61. Since that loss, they're 3-3, but two of those wins came against a ranked Kansas State team. Coach Bill Self thinks that Oklahoma is a much-better basketball team right now. The Sooners are 13-7 on the year, and their 3-5 mark in Big 12 play has them in sixth place heading into Wednesday night's game. Monday night's victory against Kansas State was just Oklahoma's second on the road in the Big 12 in their last 21 tries. It was also their first road victory over a ranked opponent since Jan. 26, 2008, against Baylor.
Steven Pledger, guard
Pledger
FRED ALEXANDER
Pledger is averaging 17.8 points per game this season and is getting 16.5 points per game in conference play, good enough for sixth. Kansas
held him to 14 points in the teams' first meeting on Jan. 7, and he shot just 33.3 percent in the loss. He's shooting a respectable 40.7 percent from the floor, but coach Lon Kruger would probably like to see him get to the free-throw line more often. In Big 12 play, Pledger is a perfect 24-of-24 from the line.
Are the Sooners as good as Self believes?
QUESTION MARK
Self had nothing but praise on Tuesday for Oklahoma's play as of late. He said the Sooners are scoring much easier and with more consistency than earlier in the conference season. In the last five games, the Sooners are averaging 69.8 points, just four points more than their season average. They've surpassed the 75-point mark just once in that stretch, however, including three games with 65 points or less. While the offense is better as of late, it's been extremely average in conference play, and when Oklahoma loses, offense is the reason more often than not.
HEAR YE HEAR YE
"Not only did we turn it over, but we turned it over with them shooting lay-ups, which is the worst of both worlds."
— Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger after his team's 72-61 loss to Kansas on Jan. 7
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Kansas overestimates Oklahoma. With the loss to Iowa State and the Big 12 lead now at just one game, this doesn't look to be a problem for the Jayhawks. Self said Saturday's game against Missouri won't be as hyped if Kansas drops another game heading to Columbia, and the Sooners will have the Jayhawks' full attention.

"I heard it would be a really great way to get my stuff out there and reach a large audience," Taylor said. "You have to invest a little bit of time in learning how it works, who to
market to, how to list your stuff."
Since she opened her Etsy "store", what the site calls the seller's page, about six months ago, Taylor sold nine pieces.
Using Etsy comes at a cost. Setting up an account is free, but it costs 20 cents for each item listed on the site. The site also takes five percent of the money made from sells, said Taylor, who had no problems paying the small amount since the gallery she sells her work at takes 40 percent.
Being able to have that independence and widening her market has been a high point of using Etsy for Taylor.
"I sold something to someone in British Columbia and someone in New York," Taylor said. "Those
things are just really exciting to me."
Etsy also has a networking component, which allows users to offer thoughts on others' works, favorite stores and discuss techniques for marketing products on the site. Although Lawrence's Etsy community is sizeable, Taylor said that it is mainly comprised of older artists rather than students, something she hopes starts to change.
Tessa Califano, a senior from Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., had a different experience with the site. Last December, she started an Etsy account to help her ucle sell t-shirts he made featuring the slogan "That's right..." They took pictures of the shirts, created a profile and paid to be on the Etsy homepage, which
increased their page views.
The plan to make money off the shirts quickly shifted after her uncle was involved in an accident last week.
"He actually just passed away, so all the money that we're getting now from the shirts is being donated," Califano said.
Josie McCoy, a 2011 graduate who recently moved to New York, used the site for a more simple reason. She needed a quick and easy way to get rid of some clothing before she moved.
"I sold quite a bit of clothing on my Etsy shop for extra cash," McCoy said.

CRIME
Girl testifies in court, defends sexual acts
Consensual choking leads to endangerment charges
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
In a preliminary court hearing Wednesday morning, it was revealed that University student Trevor Benedict, 18, choked his former girlfriend several times, even once leading to loss of consciousness.
Benedict is charged with aggravated endangerment of a child, juvenile endangerment of a child and attempted violation of a protective order stemming from an Aug. 23 incident where the victim lost consciousness, according to testimonny.
The victim said that the choking was just one of 30 to 40 instances during their relationship, but that each incident was consensual.
Douglas County Sherrif's Detective Jay Armbrister and the victim, his former girlfriend, testified at the hearing.
"We both enjoyed the sort of adrenaline rush," she said. "But of
course I didn't want to endanger myself so I did not allow it to get to the point where I lose consciousness."
The victim said that when Benedict would choke her, she would signal him to stop by tapping him four times on the arm.
SALLY POKORNY District Two Judge
"For the grace of God, she could have died."
But the one time he didn't, she fainted. She also said she doesn't want Benedict to be found criminally responsible.
Benedict and the victim also bought items for the purpose of choking such as an u-bolt, a horse shoe shaped metal pipe. They also consensually engaged in cutting the victim's legs with a razor blade, according to testimony.
Armbrister testified that during his interviews, both Benedict and the victim said the choking and cutting were mutual acts. He also presented new evidence, including hand-written documents between Benedict and the victim found in Benedict's backpack, in which he claimed the victim said there were times she wanted Benedict to stop choking her but he didn't.
After the testimony, Benedict's attorney asked District Two Judge Sally Pokorny to remove a charge from a previous case, but she denied the request, saying the charge was relevant because the choking endangered the victim's life.
The next court date is scheduled for Friday at 9 a.m. at the Douglas County Courthouse.
"For the grace of God, she could have died," Pokorny said.

Before committing to a lease, renters should research property
HOUSING
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Sewage backups, dirty carpets and cabinets and water leaks are just a few of the things University student Bryan Morgan has learned to call home for.
Morgan, senior from Austin, Texas, expected more when he signed his lease at Regency Apartments, operated by First Management Inc.
"It's tough to pay for a place I don't like living in." Morgan said. "You have to be careful. If you don't do your homework, you might end up stuck."
Like many University students, Morgan is unsure of how to approach the problems he has with his apartment.
"I don't even know what to say to them half the time," Morgan said. "You can't get mad at them because then they won't help you at all. You just kind of get stuck in it."
Steve Allton, attorney at University Legal Services for Students, suggests doing some research before renewing leases and finding places to live next year.
"If you don't know what you're signing, you don't know what you're accountable for," Allton said. Allton advises students bring their leases to student legal services where it can be explained and whether or not verified terms are reasonable or standard.
Another option for students is living in the residence halls where staff is readily available and students are in an area designed for academic success, said Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of residence life.
Though students are subject to more rules in the residence halls, Wamelink said it is important to consider the differences in punishment.
"In an apartment complex if your neighbors think you get too loud, then they are probably just going to call the police, and you may be fined," Wamelink said. "In the residence halls, it will be a staff member with the intention to educate you on the policy, not punish you."
Wherever students decide to live, Allton said it is important to do your homework.
"The best way to be happy in you living situation is to be proactive from the start," Allton said. "If you do your research, there won't be surprises, and if there are, we can help you through that process."

Tuition on the rise, students in debt
Standard Tuition rates at the University of Kansas
AY 2006 - $2,412
AY 2007 - $2,756
AY 2008 - $2,922
AY 2009 - $3,098
AY 2010 - $3,284
AY 2011 - $3,584
With more students taking on more debt, it's no secret that college costs have skyrocketed in recent years — surpassing the rate of inflation, exceeding the amount owed in credit card debt and increasing standard tuition at the University of Kansas 48.6 percent from 2006 to 2011 alone.
Total percent change: 48.6
"It's a conundrum," said Ed McKechnie, chair of the Kansas Board of Regents. "You can either not make the investment and live a substandard life, or you can take on significant debt and run the risk of living a life of debt that could also
lead to a substandard life."
Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon, including the shifting of public universities toward privatization financial models, increases in demand and competition and less state funding for higher education.

GOVERNMENT
State senate committee passes redistricting bill
TOPEKA — A redistricting bill approved by a Kansas Senate committee would give the state's senior Republican congresswoman a slightly more Democratic U.S. House district.
The Reapportionment Committee endorsed the measure Wednesday, sending it to the Senate for debate.
A key feature of the bill is that it would expand the 1st District of western and central Kansas to take in Manhattan — a change that Jenkins said she opposes.
The Kansas Republican Party and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce quickly denounced the new map as an attempt to hurt Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, who represents the 2nd District of eastern Kansas as well the University's west campus. Republic Congressman
Kevin Yoder represents district three, which currently encompasses the University's main campus. In the past, the University has been split between the two districts.
Figures from legislative researchers show 30 percent of the new district's voters would be Democrats, compared with 29 percent now. GOP voters would decline to 40 percent, from 42 percent.
The measure had bipartisan support.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, "Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world and is tied with the illegal arms industry as the second-largest criminal industry in the world today."
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is organizing the event, which is aimed at educating the campus community on human trafficking and how people can stop it.
"Kansas serves as a major route for traffickers who exploit victims through sex trafficking and forced labor," wrote ETWRC program director Kathy Rose-Mocky in an email.
The Kansas Union Ballroom is located on the fifth level of the Kansas Union.

Putin voices doubts about upcoming election in Russia
Putin
MOSCOW — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday he could face a runoff in the March presidential vote, his first acknowledgement that he may fail to muster enough support for an outright victory.
A. F. K.
Putin's statement signaled he might be willing to accept tarnishing his father-of-the-nation image if he fails to win more than 50 percent in the first round on March 4, rather than risk inking more public outrage through blatant vote rigging.
Putin said that "there is nothing horrible" about a runoff and he's ready for one, according to Russian news reports.
Evidence of fraud in favor of Putin's party in a December parliamentary election triggered the biggest protests since the Soviet collapse two decades ago.
But he also warned of the dangers of a second round, saying it would lead to a "certain destabilization of the political situation." The need for stability in Russia has been the mantra of Putin's campaign.
Putin won his previous two presidential terms in 2000 and 2004 in the first round. After moving into the prime minister's job due to term limits, he has remained the No.1 leader, but has seen his support dwindle amid growing public frustration with his rigid controls over the political scene, rampant corruption and rising social inequality.
Opinion polls show support for Putin between 40 and 50 percent. If he fails to get a majority of the vote, he will face a runoff on March 25, most likely against Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov.
MIDDLE EAST
Taliban officials deny rumors of negotiations
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban denied Wednesday that the movement is planning direct talks with the Afghan government to end the 10-year-old war, while a leaked NATO report suggested the insurgents are confident they will regain power after international troops leave.
While she didn't mention the United States, Afghan officials have complained privately that the peace effort has so far been dominated by American efforts and talks with Taliban representatives. Washington insists it is only setting the stage, and any eventual talks must include Karzai's government.
Taliban spokesman Zabuliull Mujahid rejected those reports as "baseless," saying in a statement that exploratory talks between the insurgency and the U.S. and its allies have not yet reached the stage for negotiations.
"Before the negotiation phase, there should be trust-building between the sides, which has not started yet," Mujahid said.
While both developments were setbacks to Afghan President Hamid Karzai's efforts to broker peace, his government got a boost from Pakistan's top diplomat who declared her nation's support for an Afghan-led reconciliation process.
"Our only prerequisite to be supportive of an initiative is that it should be Afghan-led. It should be Afghan-owned. It should be Afghan-driven and Afghan-backed," Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khan said at the Afghan Foreign Ministry.

Plot to extract son of Gadhafi from Libya to Mexico fails
MEXICO CITY — Prosecutors said Wednesday they broke up not one, but two Indiana Jones-style plots to "extract" the son of late dictator Moamar Gadhafi from Libya and bring him to Mexico as his father's regime crumbled.
FASTER MARSHAL
The plan to sneak out al-Saadi Gadhafi involved piles of stolen passports, white-knuckled officers involved in theft.
Gadhafi
to land in war-torn Libya and luxury homes bought under false names in Mexico, according to Assistant Attorney General Jose Cuttahuaac Salinas.
He said it was led by a Canadian woman, a Danish man and two Mexican suspects who were charged this week with attempted immigrant trafficking, falsifying documents and organized crime.
Salinas said the group hired pilots to fly from Mexico to Kosovo, from there to the Tunisian capital of Tunis and on to Libya in July, but that attempt failed to extract the dictator's son.
"They weren't able to do it out because the pilots refused to carry out a secret land." Salinas said.
The ring, purportedly led by Canadian Cynthia Vanier, then allegedly made arrangements for a second attempt, hiring pilots and a plane. But Mexican authorities were tipped off to the scheme by a series of anonymous e-mails and arrested the four suspects in November, before the second flight could take off.
AFRICA
Spokesman for radical Islamist sect undergoes questioning
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — The purported spokesman for a radical Islamist sect responsible for hundreds of killings in recent weeks in Nigeria has been arrested, an official with the country's secret police said Wednesday.
The official with Nigeria's State Security Service declined to give many details about the man known by the nom de guerre Abul-Qaqa, simply saying that officers are questioning him. If it is him, the spokesman's arrest could prove to be a boon for Nigeria's weak central government, which has remained unable to stop attacks by the sect as known by Boko Haram.
However, the same agency paraded a supposed spokesman only weeks earlier who apparently had only a loose affiliation with a group that has splintered and become even more dangerous. And a national spokeswoman tried to deny the reported arrest without being able to explain the apparent confusion gripping an agency charged with protecting the nation.
Ahmed Abdullahi, the Borno state director for the secret police agency, told The Associated Press on Wednesday night that officers tracked down the man through signals sent out by his mobile phone. The agency later flew him to Nigeria's capital Abuja for further questioning.
Abul-Qaqa served as the spokesman for the radical wing of the sect, often as a go-between between its leaders and trusted members of north Nigeria's media. He issued claims of responsibility typically the same day as attacks to journalists working for either the BBC's Hausa language service or The Daily Trust newspaper, the two most trusted sources of news in Nigeria's Muslim north.
TECHNOLOGY
Abdullahi declined to give the man's name, and it wasn't clear whether he faced criminal charges or had legal representation.
Facebook starts to plan for initial public offering
SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook Inc. has filed papers for what's expected to be the largest initial public offering ever to come out of Silicon Valley and one of the largest in U.S. history.
Ending months of breathless speculation, the 8-year-old social networking company has submitted registration documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that set a preliminary goal of $5 billion.
Facebook had discussed raising as
much as $10 billion. Final pricing will not be set for months, and the size of the IPO probably will increase with investor demand.
The filing sets the stage for an IPO in May and reveals important numbers about Facebook: 845 million users, 483 million daily users; annual revenue of $3.7 billion; $1.8 billion in operating income and $1 billion net income. Facebook created a dual-class stock structure that ensures that founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, a hands-on leader, will remain in firm control of the company he dreamed up in his Harvard dorm room.
Facebook selected Morgan Stanley as its lead bank to handle the IPO with assistance from four others. Morgan Stanley's resume of recent Internet IPOs includes Groupon and Zynga. Investment banks will receive as much as $500 million in fees depending on the valuation.
Now the frenzy to own a piece of Facebook, already off the charts on private trading exchanges, promises to get even more clamorous.
Facebook, one of the world's best-known brands, is an international phenomenon, touching the lives of more
than 800 million people around the globe.
The IPO was inevitable. Facebook had tripped the regulatory wire that forces companies with more than 500 shareholders to disclose almost as much information as publicly traded companies.
The registration documents spell out how much the company intends to raise and what it intends to do with the money, as well as giving the first official glimpse into the company's financial performance.
The IPO will create enormous wealth
in Silicon Valley and more than 1,000 new millionaires among the company's 3,000 employees, which many hope will give a boost to the local economy including the housing market and car sales.
Young technology companies like to say they do things differently. In June when Groupon filed for an IPO, founder Andrew Mason said: "We are unusual and we like it that way."
Everyday investors are also hoping that as friends of Facebook they will get a chance at a piece of the IPO.
Google's owner's manual for investors contained a letter from co-founders
Larry Page and Sergey Brin offering a similar warning. "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one."
Page and Brin thumbed their noses at Wall Street by demanding an IPO that would be open to all investors. Google used a Dutch auction, which meant that the general public had a better shot at buying the stock before the shares began trading, rather than giving access only to the investors handpicked by the investment bankers.

Analysts say a confluence of events has caught up with "Idol."
'Idol' suffers lowest ratings since 2002
"There is no curiosity factor like last year, with the new judges," said Brad Adgate, an analyst for ad firm Horizon Media in
Mars Denton
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Long the nation's most popular television series, "American Idol" has suddenly started to hit some flat notes—and it's threatening the money-making machine that has vaulted the Fox network to the top of the broadcast race.
Although still a big hit that other networks would love to have, "Idol's" ratings this month slid to the lowest level since its debut in summer 2002. And last week for the first time, "Idol" was beaten by a head-to-head competitor, CBS' surging sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," in the major ratings categories.
The downward trend for the reality show commonly referred to among television executives as the Death Star for its record of annihilating opponents can be traced to a host of reasons, say analysts. A crowded marketplace of reality singing shows, waning viewer curiosity over two new judges and advancing age — the show is in its 11th season — have all conspired to weaken the once seemingly invulnerable program.
Further evidence that the glut of singing shows is taking its toll surfaced with a massive retooling of Fox's other entry in the song sweepstakes, "The X Factor," which failed to deliver the knockout ratings predicted by its star and producer, Simon Cowell, last fall. On Monday, Cowell sacked three of his on-air colleagues, including former "Idol" judge Paula Abdul.
That doesn't mean "idol" has lost all its power: Last Wednesday's episode was still the No. 1 program for the week, averaging 19.7 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. Fox executives point to early signs that viewers are watching the program on DVRs more than in the past, which will boost ultimate ratings. Another network "would gladly take the show off Fox's hands," Adgate noted wryly.
A Fox spokeswoman said executives would not comment for the record. Cowell and his spokesman did not return repeated messages and a representative of "Idol's" creator and executive producer, Simon Fuller, said he was unavailable.
In January, Fox executives had predicted a ratings drop, but the falloff has been far steeper than they anticipated.
That could potentially put Fox in the position of offering free advertising time as compensation for commercial time bought before the season started. The major advertisers on "Idol" are Coca-Cola, Ford and AT&T, companies that have far-reaching deals involving products featured on the show as well as traditional commercials.
"They didn't expect the show to be down over 20 percent (compared with last year)," said one media buyer, who did not wish to be identified for fear of jeopardizing business relationships.
Fox executives scoff at the notion, however, that "Idol" might be reaching the end of its glory days. It's still a top show in its 11th season — a feat that has not been equaled since "Cheers"
was a hit for NBC nearly 20 years ago.
Equally important: "Idol" is still producing musical stars. Last year's winner, Scotty McCreery, released a smash country album that recalled the early successes of another "Idol" victor, Carrie Underwood.
And the first "idol" winner, Kelly Clarkson, just grabbed the No. 1 spot on the iTunes singles chart. Her song has a chorus that Fox executives might want to sing along with: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

The definition of a nerd, according to Merriam Webster online dictionary, is an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially: one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits.
Now granted, what ranks as being offensive varies from person
to person, yet, I quite help but think that Merriam Webster considers "nerd" a less than complimentary identifier. I'm afraid then, that this puts Merriam Webster and me at an impasse because being a nerd is to me a title worn with pride.
Now, I maintain the highest of respect for Merriam Webster. Being an English major, I have a great affinity for words. Yet, Merriam i am
Webster's definition of a nerd is not only inaccurate, but also dated.
The word 'nerd' first originated around 1951, and throughout the decades, the images and persona associated with being a nerd haven't, until recently, changed much in the eyes of mainstream culture. Changing from the caricature of bespectacled, physically and socially awkward fan of Mystery Science Theater to that of a bespectacled, physically and socially awkward fan of the Syfy Channel, being a nerd in the 50s wasn't much different than being a nerd in the 90s.

And yet in recent years, there has been an evolution of, not nerds themselves, but in how society views nerds — a revolution if you will. Nerd culture has exploded into the mainstream. Why?
Because being a nerd is fun. And mainstream culture is catching on. You have only to look at our American pop culture itself in order to see the signs.
There's the story of "the boy who lived," which went on to win over the world and spawn everything from a multi-billion dollar movie series to a genre of music called "wizard rock."
There's the near frenzied consumption of technology, with the latest iPhone, iPad, iWhateverapplecomesoutwithnext driving
people to stand in line overnight just so they can have it the moment it's available.
There's the fashion industry, which now embraces grandpa sweaters, high-waisted pants, clashing prints, and of course, bowties, as being sartorially fabulous.
There's the gaming culture, which started out with "Tennis for Two", comprised of a dot and two sticks controlled by a few scientists in a lab, now having matured into everyone from your grandmother to KU basketball players crashing into each other in Mario Kart.
'nerdiness' to the whole world, as obvious as Peeta Mellark's perfection. Really, there wouldn't be any use in my trying to hide it, either. I count myself as being interdisciplinary in my interests: Harry Potter, style, Broadway Musicals, Adventure Time, 19th century British literature, heck ANY literature, Disney, Medieval history, Glee, Marvel Comics, 80s movies. The list goes on. And on. And on ...
All this is just the tip of the Death Star. The truth of the matter is, even though we used to have a particular image ingrained as to what a nerd looks like and is interested in, nerds come in all shapes, sizes, interests, and social skill level. Being a nerd is to admit that you are passionate about something — anything — and that you devote a large portion of your energy into that passion.
I'm a nerd. I'm out, I'm proud,

Before I go onto automatic with geeking out, because then I'd have to stage a coup and take over the entirety of the Kansan's Opinion Page: Nerd culture has exploded into the mainstream. Chances are, if you're an interesting human being, you're a bit of a nerd about something. So Merriam Webster, I'm sorry; I swear that when I'm trying to find a synonym when I'm writing my fanfiction, I'll come crawling back to you. It's just, when it comes to being a nerd, you don't know a bogart from a dementor.

Using technology to reach the stars Project Icarus's design may be the answer to the future of space travel
My first encounter with the name Alpha Centauri occurred after playing many hours of the video game "Civilization." This game spurred my fascination with technology and dreams of helping humanity voyage to distant stars. Years went by without thinking of this name until I was taking Dr. Hawley's Astronomy 391 last year. In this fantastic class we learned how to use parallax measurements to determine the distance to a star.
While studying this process, I learned of the significance of the Alpha Centauri star system. It consists of three stars, of all different sizes, that orbit around a common point.

Project Icarus is an international volunteer engineering study group dedicated to researching the requirements to
theoretical design challenge called Project Icarus.
The lcarus design mandates reaching a star within 100 years using a fusion based propulsion system. Research into long distance propulsion methods has determined that the energy released by fusion ignition is required to get the probe to the required speed, a theoretical cruise speed upper limit of roughly 101 million miles per hour.
may seem like science fiction to many, but in reality it is quite science fact. Propulsion based on this technology may very well be available within our lifetimes.
The original Daedalus mission chose a Deuterium and Helium-3 fuel for inertial confinement fusion. Helium-3 is extremely rare on Earth; however, it could be mined on the moon's surface, or collected from the atmosphere of a gas giant such as Jupiter.
build a probe that can reach a distant star and planetary system within a century. The project builds on the knowledge of the 1970's Daedalus Project by members the British Interplanetary Society. These projects continue to further research into fusion base propulsion systems, long distance communication methods, and remote scientific data collection based on credible science and current technology.
Using fusion propulsion is considered a near future technology because the technology doesn't exist yet. Nuclear fusion
"A project such as this enables continual development and an evolving design until the world governments are in a state to support such an endeavor."
Helium-3 is sought after for
right after fusion ignition because it produces significant energy and only has one neutron. This reduces the amount of neutron radiation after fusion
occurs. In the case of He-3 fusing with another He-3 atom, it is possible that no neutrons would be produced. Neutrons cause surrounding materials to become brittle reducing their ductility as well as causing materials to become radioactive.
Project Icarus serves several important purposes. Above all, it helps to inspire a new generation of physicists and engineers to perform essential scholarly research into the subject of interstellar travel. A project such as this enables continual development and an evolving design until the world governments are in a state to support such an endeavor. Lastly, this project brings together the knowledge and experience of many great minds into one place to serve as a resource for future generations that could directly contribute to future missions within our solar system.

Words provide window into different cultures
New languages reveal how diverse the world can be
"Le sere imbarumide" is a very specific word in the Friulian dialect which is spoken in the tiny Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in northeast Italy. It is not easily translatable into Italian and even harder into English, but it roughly means "muddy twilight."
For the people of Friuli, the phrase is meant to describe a specific type of sunset when the colors of the sky mix with a reflection on the wet ground of recently irrigated fields. It represents a tired body after a day's work and the beauty of a productive landscape. Hidden in those few words are the essence of a population which can't be translated into any other language.
In Italy, there is a different dialect in every single region. Some are completely incomprehensible even to other Italians. And then there's the rest of Europe.
Only a short train ride away and you could be trying to ask directions to someone who just shakes their head and responds in Hungarian. At home, I can drive for a full day and still be in good old English speaking Kansas.
Six months ago, I wouldn't have given that concept a second thought. Now, I can't stop thinking about how limiting that homogeneity can be.
My Italian roommates have been surrounded their entire lives by all different sorts of languages.
And with that immersion comes a degree of understanding
By Bernadette Myers bmyers@kansan.com
In the US, learning a new language seems daunting. Why bother when getting some speaking practice with a native speaker might cost you a $2000 plane ticket?
But, that doesn't mean we should just take those Spanish courses to get them "out of the way." How can we shrug off the way the 350 million native Spanish speakers interpret the world? And do the 60 million native Italian speakers simply have less to say than someone who speaks English?
that doesn't always translate easily.
Speaking this richly nuanced language has changed my perspective on both how I communicate with and how I view the world around me. In Italian, like other Romance languages, there is a subjunctive verb tense. This means that any time you express an opinion, a feeling, or a desire, you have to conjugate the verb in an entirely different way. We don't have this in English. But when I'm speaking Italian, I have to consciously signal when I'm expressing an opinion. It is syntactically impossible to confuse an opinion with a fact.
When I run my errands, I go to a "supermercato" for my groceries, a "profumeria" for bath products, a "macelleria" for meats,
and a "ferramenta" for hardward store items. There is no word for Walmart Supercenter because there is no such store where you can go and buy everything from a plasma flat screen television to a goldfish.
Even the way I structure my sentences affects how I view the scenario I'm describing. In Italian, the subject is incorporated into the verb conjugation, so instead of focuses of the subject of my sentence, I'm constantly thinking of how I can describe the actions with the correct verb. I no longer think "I went to the store", instead my emphasis is on the place and time that the action happened.
Don't get me wrong, I love speaking English. Every once in a while I get tired of miscommunicating my thoughts in a language that is still foreign to me.
But, it's exciting to have more than one way to express myself, that there's more than one way to be understand in a world where there are a million different translations.
The English language is still a great security blanket, but it can also be a smothering. Language has the power to reveal a new world and even a new side of yourself. So why limit yourself to just one?

Thomas Robinson, junior forward
After quite possibly his worst outing of the season in Saturday's loss at Iowa State, Robinson returned with the same vigor and tenacity that has garnered national attention. He scored 20 points, converting nine of his 12 shots, and grabbed 17 rebounds, tied for his third highest total of the year. This was the kind of game Robinson wanted before Saturday's Border Showdown.

Even the most devout Teahan fans can't be pleased with this outing. Allen Fieldhouse has been Teahan's best friend all season. When he's home, he's shooting well. But not on Wednesday night. He connected on one of his five shots, three of which were from behind the arc. All season, Self has craved bench production. It's games like these that make him think nothing will change.

Kansas hangs on despite sloppy start
KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
In just three minutes and five seconds, the score was 11-4. Despite their quick run, Kansas offense suffered a few dry spells in the first half thanks in part to an Oklahoma zone that stifled the Jayhawk scoring at times.
"We didn't move," Coach Bill Self said of the first half offence.
Kansas played into Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger's hands for most of the opening 20 minutes, putting up 12 three-pointers and connecting on just three. Self diagnosed the offensive struggles rather easily.
The Jayhawks shot just 39.3 percent in the first half. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor was 2-for-8 shooting with half of his attempts coming from beyond the three-point line.
"We're a better team when we play inside out," Self said. "In the first half we were so stale against the zone because we really didn't get the ball inside."
"Tyshawn didn't engage himself in the game at the first half," Self said. "How many times in the first half against the zone did he get his nose dirty or force help?
half he did a better job of doing that."
Taylor took just two second half three-pointers while adding five assists.
"He's got to get in there and make plays for others, and in the second
"I think we did a better job in the second half rebounding and turning up defensive pressure, getting some steals and creating offense off of our defense," Taylor said.
Taylor credited the Kansas defense on numerous occasions, which led to opportunities for easy baskets and was a big reason the Jayhawks shot 71.4 percent from the floor in the second half.
Self said Taylor has to be able to get into the lane to create easy shots for teammates instead of settling for what the zone was giving him: long three-point attempts.
But it wasn't just Taylor he was looking to.
"We just wanted to take it at them, and we did a good job of throwing it inside," Self said. "But we also did a good job of guards attacking the rim."
"Coach told us at halftime we have to attack," Taylor said. "And, like I said, we got a lot of fast break points because of our defensive pressure."

demanding more volume.
"He's an All-American candidate for a reason," Oklahoma junior forward Romero Osby said. "He's big and strong. He does a good job of positioning himself down low and shielding people off with those shoulders that he has."
The Jayhawks shot 39 percent from the field in the first half, then upped that to 71 percent in the second, augmented by a 10-for-10 start. Similar to the 72-61 victory at Norman, Okla., it was a tale of two
halves, but a victory nonetheless.
In the locker room after the game, Self told his team they can finally start thinking about Missouri.
"I'm leaving out of here more excited about our team than I was before the game started," Self said.
Taylor said that he and his teammates need to continue to stagnate opposing offenses.
"If we do that and rebound the ball," he said, "I think we can beat anybody."

Gay marriage legalization debated in Washington state
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington state Senate debated a bill Wednesday evening that would legalize same-sex marriage, with some legislators saying they were concerned about the potential impact to religious groups.
Both public galleries in the Senate were packed with supporters of gay marriage, many who gave bill sponsor Sen. Ed Murray a standing ovation when he stopped in the galleries to visit them about an hour before debate started.
Nearly a dozen amendments have been introduced, including
several that strengthen legal protections for religious groups and organizations and another calling for a referendum.
"There is a real tension in this redefinition of marriage bill between religious liberties and the underlying bill," said Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley.
The bill has narrow support in the Senate, but is expected to pass because supporters have secured 26 "yes" votes — one more than the 25 required for approval. Four senators, one Democrat and three Republicans, have not committed their votes.
If passed by the Senate, the
measure moves to the House, which has enough votes to pass the bill by a more comfortable margin. Also, Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire supports the measure and said she will sign it into law, which would make Washington state the seventh state to approve gay marriage.
As the vote loomed, conservative Democratic Sen. Brian Hatfield committed his support to the measure — becoming the 26th senator to back it. Hatfield said in a statement to The Associated Press that it has been one of the most difficult issues he has ever been associated with.

The use of computers in the classroom may be challenged in the future and become a thing of the past.
Laptops distracting use is controversial
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
Laptops used to be considered a powerful tool for learning, but they are now becoming a huge distraction in the classroom, leading to professors banning them from their classrooms, according to The Washington Post.
Jon Earl, a professor of US history, is an advocate for banning computers in the classroom.
Earl decided to ban computers after working as a teaching mentor for the history department. Earl said he would sit in the back of the lecture classes, and every single student who had a computer was on their Facebook or e-mail.
"I work hard to create my lesson plans, and it's just disrespectful for students to be on Facebook during my class." Earl said. "Overall, I think writing things down is a better way to absorb the information. If students feel the need to transfer their notes to a computer later, that's completely fine."
Earl provides note-taking tips at the beginning of the semester in order to help students understand that they aren't required to jot down everything he says verbatim.
"As faculty in the modern age, we should figure out how to leverage these new tools to enhance student learning," Basham said. "Moreover, the students we educate are going to be asked to use these tools as they move onto their careers, so it's critical we prepare students to work and live in the interconnected world of both today and tomorrow."
Some think it should be the student's choice. Celia Byrne, freshman from St. Paul, Minn., believes college students are old enough to make their own decisions. If students choose to waste their class time on Facebook, then it's their loss.
"If the student attempts to write down everything I say, they are missing the point of note taking," Earl said. "I want my students to be engaged in my lectures instead of just copying down what's on the slides."
"The students that don't pay attention are wasting their own money," Byrne said. "It's unfair for students like me who rely on computers to be penalized for their decisions."
Basham strongly encourages the use of technology because it is a part of who we are as a society.
Byrne prefers her computer for various reasons. Byrne said textbooks purchased online are cheaper, the weight of a laptop is significantly lighter than her books and it is faster for her to take notes by typing.
Paul Kelton, associate professor and chair of department of history, has a different take on banning laptops. He allows computers in his classroom but only on certain conditions. They must get permission
While both Earl and Kelton choose to restrict or limit electronics, James Basham, professor in the department of special education, feels computers are helpful to the learning experience in class.
from him and also agree to sit in a certain section of the lecture hall.
"I used to allow computers, but then I discovered that not only were students who had them off task, but the students sitting around them also became distracted by the screen," Kelton said. "That is why I chose to change my policy."
Kelton believes the new policy has eliminated the problem.

CRIME
Woman robs bank searching for dentures
WAYNESBURG, Pa. — A woman who appeared to not have any teeth in surveillance photos from a bank robbery last month has confessed, apologized and told police she planned the heist because she needed the money for dentures.
Evelyn Marie Fuller, 49, remained in a jail Wednesday unable to post bond on bank robbery and other charges filed a day earlier by police in Waynesburg, in western Pennsylvania, where she's accused of robbing the First National Bank
on Jan. 20.
"During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year," Ankrom said.
Arresting Officer Tom Ankrom said Fuller, of Carmichaels, about 10 miles east, explained her motives when she confessed to the crime.
Police distributed a surveillance photo of the robber, who appeared to be toothless, and an unnamed witness went to police and told them he had loaned Fuller the coat the robber was seen wearing in the picture. The man told police Fuller returned the coat because

the zipper didn't work, and police said it matched one the robber is wearing in the picture.
After her arraignment, she told a reporter, "I'm very sorry for what I did, and I know God is going to punish me for it," before explaining that her pastor told her to tell the truth about what she did.

17 football players commit to Kansas on National Signing Day

Charlie Weis stood proud at his third press conference as the coach of Kansas football. The two video screens hanging above Weis displayed the reason for the press conference.
In bold, the screens showed the words, "Kansas football signing class 2012."
In just under two months, Weis completed his first round of recruiting, bringing in 17 players on
National Signing Day, 20 players in all— to this point — to help the Kansas football team next season.

"As you come and you analyze your own team to start off with, you see where the holes are rather gaping." Weis said. "I think once you identify what your problems are, then you have to decide how we're going to go about solving them. Although it's never perfect, you never get everything you want. I think that we filled several of our declared needs."
And the immediate help for the

Weis admittedly had a limited time to fill the holes enveloping the Kansas football team, and he said his biggest recruiting tool came once he got his players on campus.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What was the last major Tiger Woods won?
A: 108th U.S. Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course
ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW Tiger has undeniable impact on golf
Waking up at 5 a.m. on a beautiful summer day in August was cruel and inhumane
punishment for me, but that is what it took for me to see a legend who was only 25 minutes away from my home, so I gladly forced myself out of bed.
Driving to Chaska, Minn., in my old but dependable 1996 Honda Accord, the only question that ran through my head was whether or not I would see the man who many consider one of the greatest.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
On Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009, me, my friends and a horde of golf enthusiasts entered the gates of Hazeltine National Golf Club to spectate a practice round of the PGA Championship.
Rumor spread that the man who we all came to watch was approaching the seventh hole, so we flocked there and waited eagerly.
About 45 minutes later, we finally saw the man formally known as Eldrick.
Tiger Woods walked up the seventh fairway in a dark purple Nike shirt with
former caddy Stevie Williams to a chorus of cheers.
Saying that certain individuals are just as big, if not bigger than their sport, disenchants the beauty of competition, but in all honesty, Tiger Woods is golf. He means more to his sport than any other athlete in the history of sports. Without Woods, golf is a lifeless recreational hobby scouring feverishly for a pulse. It would not be nearly as popular or profitable.
His infidelity and attitude polarizes some, but to argue that golf is better when he is not in contention or competing is an
idiotic assertion. His signature fist pump, undeniable mystique and ability to win galvanizes people.
Tiger Woods is to golf as what Michael Jordan was to basketball. During Jordan's first and second retirement stints, the NBA was led by great players such as Hakeem Olaijuwon, Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley who could not catapult the league to fortune like Jordan did. Golf was the same during Woods' hiatuses. Relying on players like Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and others to carry golf to prosperous heights like Woods had done is not realistic.
This past Sunday, Woods finished third in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and first in the Chevron World Challenge an offseason tournament that Woods hosted last December.
Woods has not won an official tournament since 2009 and has not won a major since 2008.
Golf fans, like me, who want golf to prosper, hope Woods' third place standing
KU
in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is a harbinger for not only his 2012 season, but for the rest of his career.
On Dec. 30, 2011, Woods turned 36, which is not an old age for a PGA golfer, but it is definitely not a young age, so the door is slowly starting to close. His relentless quest to break Jack Nicklaus' record for most major tournament victories is to prove that he is the greatest of all time.
Majors define a golfer's career, and Woods knows that.
As much as I respect and appreciate Jack Nicklaus, I want to see Woods break his record.

JAYHAWKS BEAT SOONERS IN FIELDHOUSE

I am a 14 year old boy.
In the Iowa State game, Royce White and Melvin Ejim dominated Robinson and Withey down low and forced them into foul trouble, which made it difficult for Kansas to establish a front-court offense.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Starting big men at the University of Kansas are expected to make big contributions, and it's not an option, it's a requirement.
The Jayhawks' loss against the Iowa State Cyclones last Saturday showed that integrating Robinson and Withey in the paint is critical to the team's offensive success.
Against the Oklahoma Sooners, Withey and Robinson limited their fouls and were able to attack Romero Osby and Andrew Fitzgerald, who each had four fouls
For Kansas, the establishment of an efficient and productive front-court offense equates to better decision making.
"We are a better team when we play inside out," coach Bill Self said. "In the first half, we were stale, to me, against the zone, we end up casting up too many three's because we really didn't get the ball inside the first half."
Wilt Chamberlain, Clyde Lovellette, Danny Manning, Wayne Simien, Nick Collison and a host of other Kansas big men set a standard of excellence in the front court that players like Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey must meet.
Withey takes advantage of his 7-foot frame by using the hook shot, which was effective against the Sooners. At his height, Withey should be able to make the most efficient shot in the game: the dunk
As for Robinson, his brawn gets opponents to foul him because he is physically tough inside and when they choose not to foul him, they're watching him throw down tomahawk dunks. Robinson has the raw strength and athleticism to power his way through opponents.
Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
When two guys like Robinson and Withey can fuel the front-court attack, that attracts multiple defenders, which leaves guards like Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford open on the perimeter. Drawing more defenders to guard the paint allows a slash to the basket.
Withey and Robinson are unique and possess different physiques.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-advised three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.

The Jayhawks couldn't help themselves.
They took the Sooners seriously, especially after Oklahoma won 63-60 at Kansas State on Saturday. The Jayhawks knew that focus was mandatory, especially after they stumbled at Iowa State on the same day. But at times on Wednesday night, Kansas had another game in mind.
Can you blame them? Missouri's up on Saturday.
Keyed up by high-pressure defense, Taylor sped his team and ran right at Oklahoma's interior. With six and a half minutes left in the game, he took an inbounds pass on one end of the floor, sprinted with the ball to the other end, shedding would-be defenders, and converted a lay-up before the Sooners were even close to ready for him. The possession transpired in no more than three seconds.
Though coach Bill Self refuted it, perhaps the Border Showdown clouded his players' minds in the first half.
"In the back of our heads," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said, "somewhere we were thinking about that game."
Kansas led 34-31 at halftime, so Self told his team to stop settling for three-pointers, which are easier to shoot than convert, and start attacking the meat of Oklahoma's zone defense.
With Taylor drawing so much attention.
"We weren't, by no means, dominant in the first half." Self said. "I just thought we needed to play with more energy."
Still. No. 8 Kansas (18-4, 8-1) romped Oklahoma 84-62 at Allen Fieldhouse with a tireless fast fast break that sprouted in the opening
junior forward Thomas Robinson was able to return to his usual state.
"To me, Thomas hasn't been himself for three games maybe," Self said. "But he was tonight."
Robinson, who scored 19 points and corralled 17 rebounds, cleaned up missed shots by using his strength and size to displace the opposition. After all three of his dunks, he repeatedly beat his chest and raised his hands to the fieldhouse crowd.
minutes of the second half.
"We took a lot of three-pointers in the first half," Taylor said. "Kind of playing into their hands."

The Jajhawks are unpredictable. They've defeated two ranked teams in Big 12 play and started with three straight conference road wins, but on the other hand they have lost three games at home to Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
"You look at all three of them and it has been gut-wrenching" coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "In this league you have got to be able to take care of your home court and we have not done that."
Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a .500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked No. 25 by the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.
Kansas looked like it had the game decided midway through the second half with a series of stunning offense and stifling defense. Up seven, the Jayhawks started to slide again and needed a three-pointer to send it into overtime. Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the Jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
Three of the 10 Big. 12 teams are currently ranked in the Associated Press poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
"We made mistakes and for us to do that, we let each other down," Goodrich said.
Now, the Kansas women basketball team sits at 16-5 overall and 5-4 in conference play riding a two game losing streak into College Station to face defending national champions Texas A&M on Saturday.
Two short weeks ago when Kansas hosted Texas A&M it was in a completely different position coming off three road wins and in sole possession of second place in the conference.
"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.
To reach that goal the layhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The layhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No. 1 Baylor
Statistically, the Jayhawks have some of the best play makers in the country with junior guard Angel Goodrich who leads the nation in assists and junior forward Carolyn Davis who leads in shooting percentage. The team as a whole ranks sixth in the nation in overall shooting percentage, but in the last two games that hasn't translated. The Jayhawks shot just 38.2 percent from the field, well under their average of 47.9.
"We've talked about how this is a one possession league and then the flip side is it has got to be a bounce back league and you have to be able to get yourself together," Henrickson said.
at home. This also includes Iowa State in Ames, after a double overtime victory in Lawrence.
Personnel wise, the Jayhawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.
After Texas A&M this weekend. Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.

Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
Gov. Sam Brownback stressed the importance of community involvement while giving a talk and answering questions at the Kansas Union Ballroom about human trafficking Thursday night.
Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"It's important, it's key, it's happening in your world," he said. "You need to do something about it."
Brownback started to explore the issue of human trafficking when he
heard about occurrences in Sudan. He visited in 2004 and listened to anecdotal stories. Since then he has visited shelters in different countries with trafficking problems including Uganda, North Korea and Myanmar.
The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking crimes as actions that "focus on the act of compelling or coercing a person's labor, services, or commercial sex acts."
Brownback wanted to give the audience an idea of how trafficking affects the people in these countries. "It's the worst you can imagine," he said.
Brownback was an original cosponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, a bill
However, Kansas is specifically considered a state with weaker laws, according to political science graduate student Laura Dean, who played an integral role in getting Brownback to speak on campus.
"We're missing lots of things like victim service protection," Dean said. "Many victims suffer STDs or are pregnant when they come in."
that sparked reform of trafficking laws. The act was renewed in 2008.
Dean, 31, researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."
"Pick an area and focus on it," he said. "...give (victims) a name and a face."
He also said he talked to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was in attendance, about raising money for a center of human trafficking on campus where students can earn degrees that would help them eliminate trafficking.
After the event, Dean said she was glad a large crowd showed up and that Brownback had some good points. "I think he showed his knowledge on the subject," she said. "It was a great opportunity to share his experiences."
Brownback hopes his talk raised awareness of trafficking.
"I hope they get the scope of what's happening," he said. "And I hope some of them were motivated."
Brownback said he hopes law-

"The University police have as much authority by state law as any other police officer in the state of Kansas within their jurisdiction," said Chris Keary, University assistant chief of police.
The only tickets issued on campus handled exclusively by the University are parking tickets. All other tickets issued are the same as any citation given by Lawrence police officers. Keary gave the example of a speeding ticket, saying that one issued by University police will be handled at the Douglas County Courthouse and the fine will be the same as if issued by city police.
Campus police jurisdiction extends to all property owned or operated by the University, board of trustees, the endowment association, athletic associations, student groups associated with the University and fraternities and sororities, though Keary said the University generally lets the LPD handle calls

"We can also enter other jurisdictions when asked to do so by the governing police department," Keary said. "Years ago we used to go to Manhattan to help with the KU and K-State games, because they asked us to, and when we were there, we had the same powers they did."
Pierce thinks if he had known that information beforehand, he might have behaved differently.
"I was polite," Pierce said. "But if I would have known to take it as serious as if anyone were else were stopping me, I probably would have done me a little different."

Id like to say that I'm too mature for road rage, but that would be like saying I have never given the finger to a soccer mom driving a
Road rage has been a part of my life since my childhood. Watching my father say the darndest things to those inexcusable drivers who just don't understand that signaling is in fact part of the driving process has provided me with some of the best material that I use to this day.
It is automatic. I will be having a conversation with one of my friends one minute, and within a few seconds I can be slinging out threats of Africans (my
friends and family, of course) tracking them down and doing unmentionable things to every one of their family members. And that could simply be because someone chose to drive the speed limit that day. I can't stand that.
Come to think of it, I don't think how I act on the road should be called road rage. Webster better come up with something else to define this attitude.
It's hilarious to think about how personally I like to take others' lack of driving skills. I find myself shouting out, "Oh you think you can do that to ME?!" as if they had woken up that day thinking, 'please, oh please give me an opportunity to make Nadia upset today.' Maybe it's a pride thing, and I find myself needing to outdo them. I'll be cruising, going 50 mph in a 40 down Bob Billings, and suddenly someone will pass me, just tempting me to get hostile. Before I know it, 60 never felt so good, and I am waving with that, that-was-cute-hun, smug smile that really ticks people off. Then I will glance out the rear view mirror to see if they have admitted defeat.

Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.
VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@kansan.com
Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Gov. Sam Brownback stressed the importance of community involvement while giving a talk and answering questions at the Kansas Union Ballroom about human trafficking Thursday night.
"I it's important, it's key, it's happening in your world" he said. "You need to do something about it."
Brownback started to explore the issue of human trafficking when he
The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking crimes as actions that "focus on the act of compelling or coercing a person's labor, services, or commercial sex acts."
Brownback was an original co-sponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, a bill
However, Kansas is specifically considered a state with weaker laws, according to political science graduate student Laura Dean, who played an integral role in getting Brownback to speak on campus.
"We're missing lots of things like victim service protection," Dean said. "Many victims suffer STDs or are pregnant when they come in."
Dean, 31, researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."
Brownback wanted to give the audience an idea of how trafficking affects the people in these countries. "It's the worst you can imagine," he said.
"Pick an area and focus on it," he said. "...give (victims) a name and a face."
He also said he talked to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was in attendance, about raising money for a center of human trafficking on campus where students can earn degrees that would help them eliminate trafficking.
After the event, Dean said she was glad a large crowd showed up and that Brownback had some good points. "I think he showed his knowledge on the subject," she said. "It was a great opportunity to share his experiences."

"The University police have as much authority by state law as any other police officer in the state of Kansas within their jurisdiction," said Chris Keary, University assistant chief of police.
The only tickets issued on campus handled exclusively by the University are parking tickets. All other tickets issued are the same as any citation given by Lawrence police officers. Keary gave the example of a speeding ticket, saying that one issued by University police will be handled at the Douglas County Courthouse and the fine will be the same as if issued by city police.
Campus police jurisdiction extends to all property owned or operated by the University, board of trustees, the endowment association, athletic associations, student groups associated with the University and fraternities and sororities, though Keary said the University generally lets the LPD handle calls

Pierce thinks if he had known that information beforehand, he might have behaved differently.
"I was polite," Pierce said. "But if I would have known to take it as serious as if anyone were else were stopping me, I probably would have done things a little different."

AWARENESS
DAY!
Q&A: Kristen Spacek, owner of Owens Flower Shop, 846 Indiana St.
Q: What's the most popular flower people order for Valentine's Day?
A: Typically, roses are the most popular but a lot of people are now starting to order the mixed assortment of flowers, which is really fun for all of the designers to put the arrangement together.
Q: What percentage would you say sales increase this time of year?
A: Typically during Valentine's Day we have a whole month's increase in sales.
Q: During Valentines Day do you have to hire more workers?
A: We hire more designers, more processors and more delivery help.
Thankfully, we always have a few ladies who come in and volunteer their time to help out around Valentine's Day.
Pink and red roses surround your bed, while a smoldering omelet and a perfectly mixed mimosa wait to be devoured at the foot of your bed. Sound nice? This is just the beginning. During the afternoon you are taken on a shopping spree down Mass Street, followed by a picnic in the park for lunch. The night will conclude with a movie of your choice while you enjoy a glass of bubbling champagne to top off the day's festivities. Zach Finkelstein, a sophomore from Overland Park, not only planned this vision, but brought it to life on what some call the most romantic holiday of the year—Valentine's Day.
Zach did all this for his girlfriend Caitlin Doornbos, a sophomore from Hutchinson. The couple has been dating for three months, and Zach started planning his perfect Valentine's Day midway through January.
"Valentine's Day is more than a day full of roses and chocolates," Zach says. "More than anything else, it's a time to show the ones in your life how much they mean to you."
With the start of February comes the start of grocery stores displaying an array of "Be Mine" Valentine's Day cards, heart-shaped boxes filled with an assortment of chocolate and stuffed teddy bears or puppies with big eyes that scream those three little words. When strolling through Target, it's unavoidable to run into pink and red hearts in the form of candy and cookies, while different flower shops begin to order quadruple the amount of flowers they would normally order.
Kristen Spacek, owner of Owens Flower Shop, says last year Owens made about 450 flower deliveries on Valentine's Day alone, proving that it's the highest sales time of the year for the flower shop.
While some couples like to go all-out for the holiday, others have a simpler approach. Morgan Hutcherson, a junior from St. Louis, Mo., always saw her friends getting chocolate and flowers for their boyfriends, so when she was in a relationship her senior year of high school, she also wanted to buy all the traditional merchandise that was sold for the
holiday. But as the years passed, Morgan spent less time worrying about the commercialized gifts and more time expressing how much she cared for her boyfriend by making him elaborate handmade cards.
For couples, Valentine's Day is all about showing your special someone how much you love or deeply care about them, but what about singles? As soon as February begins, singles are constantly reminded of the holiday. Even when watching TV, a sappy commercial will fill the screen displaying a couple kissing after the man slips a diamond necklace around the woman's neck, ending with the sing-song voice clip "Every kiss begins with Kay." For some singles, the holiday can be a harsh reminder that they don't have someone to share it with.
Kevin Kitsis, a junior from Minneapolis, spent the last two Valentine's Days showering his girlfriend with elaborate gifts and winning and dining her at fancy restaurants, but this year he is single for the holiday.
"It will not be the same because the remembrance of prior Valentine's Days is a hard time," Kevin says. "I'm a little down about it, but the great thing is when you wake up the next day it's just another ordinary day."
Sometimes being single during Valentine's Day isn't all bad, as you still get the opportunity to show your family and friends how much they mean to you. Stephanie Higin-botham, a sophomore from Wichita, prefers to spend the holiday single because she doesn't have to worry about anyone else and can do whatever she wants, or even hang out with the girls. "I'm just not a sappy person," Stephanie says. "But it's cute if you're single and do little gestures for your friends to be festive."
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, take this opportunity to really think about the people in life you care about. Regardless of your relationship status, this holiday should be about expressing your love and appreciation to those who have stuck by your side through the thick and thin, as well as the up's and down's life has thrown your way.

perimeter. Drawing more detenuers to guard the paint allows a slash to the basket.
Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-advised three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.

Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a .500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked No. 25 by the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.
TEXAS ACOUNTRY and Oklahoma.
"You look at all three of them and it has been gut-wrenching" coach Bonnie Hendrickson said.
"In this league you have got to be able to take care of your home court and we have not done that."
Kansas looked like it had the game decided midway through the second half with a series of stunning offense and stifling defense. Up seven, the jayhawks started to slide again and needed a three-pointer to send it into overtime. Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
Two short weeks ago when Kansas hosted Texas A&M it was in a completely different position coming off three road wins and in sole possession of second place in the conference.
teams are currently ranked in the Associated Press poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the Jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.
To reach that goal the Jayhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The Jayhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No.1 Baylor
Personnel wise, the Jahawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.
After Texas A&M this weekend. Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.
the country with junior girls. Angel Goodrich who leads the nation in assists and junior forward Carolyn Davis who leads in shooting percentage. The team as a whole ranks sixth in the nation in overall shooting percentage, but in the last two games that hasn't translated. The Jayhawks shot just 38.2 percent from the field, well under their average of 47.9.

Celebrity Dish: Celina Tio
// SASHA LUND
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
2014
Chef Celina Tio has made a name for herself in both the local and national culinary scene. She has been featured on both Food Network's "The Next Iron Chef" and Bravo's "Top Chef Masters". She also owns the Kansas City neighborhood restaurant Italian, where she describes the menu as "feel-good food".
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO GET INTO THE RESTAURANT
BUSINESS?
I like people and I like watching people eat food. I strive to evoke and create memories. One of the best compliments is when someone says "I remember when I was a little girl and my grandma made this." That's the best compliment you can get.
We chefs are usually always in control. Rarely are we in a situation in our everyday lives where someone says 'I need a four-course meal in an hour'. Before I was on "Top Chef Masters," I had never cooked on an RV before. It always puts you out of your comfort zone.
HOW IS COOKING ON A TELEVISION SHOW DIFFERENT THAN
COOKING IN DAILY HEATERS
WHAT IS THE PERFECT MEAL TO COOK FOR A ROMANTIC
EVERYNIGHT?
I'm a no-frills kind of gal, so it'd be something homey. I'm a fan of soup; soup would definitely be on the menu. There's certainly something sensual about soup. And dessert, of course.
PEOPLE SAY THAT THE WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH
HIS STOMACH. DO YOU THINK THIS IS TRUE?
Yes, I do believe that to be true. I've gotten many marriage proposals at the restaurant, even in front of their wives. Hopefully it coaxes them to bring their wives back over and over again.
WHERE WOULD YOU GO ON A FIRST DATE WITH SOMEONE
YOU WANT TO IMPRESS?
I think if you're going on a first date, lay it all on the table. Go where you eat meat on a bone or long pasta. If you can get through that date, and you're not shy about it, the chances are good already.
YOU HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR LIFE. WHAT
ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THOSE
SAME DREAMS?
When I first went on "The Next Iron Chef",
people said 'I could never do that.' If you keep
putting yourself in comfortable situations,
nothing will ever happen. It sounds cliché, but
get out of your comfort zone if you want great
things to happen. Any of the successful business
people you can think of pushed the en-
velope and did crazy things and took chances.
Just put yourself out there and have confidence
that you'll rise to the occasion.
Catch of the Week
// RACHEL SCHWARTZ
TURN OFFS: Girls that are stuck up or think they are better than you. A girl that only follows that crowd.
TURN ONS Someone who has confidence in herself. Someone who is sarcastic and has a good sense of humor. Somebody who is athletic because that means they take care of themselves. It's fun to do athletic things with girls.
HOBBIES/INTERESTS Basketball, running, racquet ball, chess. I'm really involved in school, both in student organizations and with my class load.
FAVORITE QUOTE: "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive." -Van Wilder.
WHY I M A CATCH: I'm easy going. I've been told I'm funny. I'm a big believer in working hard; playing hard, so you know I have a good time. I'm tall, pale and handsome. I love to travel the world, and so, if you're with me, you're traveling the world.
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL DATE? One date; dinner, movie,
party, chill.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SOCIAL MEDIA AND WHY? Probably Twitter just because it's the most up-to-date and you get the most information out of it. And all the pictures that are worth looking at on Facebook end up on Twitter.

The Hookup
My wife and I recently had our second child. Our first was born four years ago. We are finding it very difficult with work and parenting obligations to engage in satisfying sex. Sex is rushed because of time constraints, and we are finding it very difficult to have any prolonged intimacy. We tried scheduling sex, but did not find that satisfying. Is there anything that we can do to recover the lost spark and heat of passion we had before our children?
Needing That Old Heat
DEAR NTOH.
The fact that you are open and willing to put forth the effort to maintain intimacy is the first step toward regaining that lost passion. Even though scheduling sex did not work, I will advise a similar solution. Instead of placing the pressure on having mind-blowing sex every Wednesday between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., revisit the hot times you had before the kiddos and work.
The initial encounters that a couple experiences during the courtship stages of the relationship will become faint nostalgia as the couple piles on more responsibilities and time consuming activities.
As you communicate with your wife regarding your desire to rekindle the flame, focus the discussion on recreating the hottest moments you shared as an early couple. Tell each other what you felt during the first kiss or during your first love-making moments. Set the scenario and devote one night a week to recreate these acts. Walk the street where you first pulled her in and shared your first kiss, return to the restaurant where you shared your first date, have sex in the backseat of your car (even if you never leave the garage). Since you already have emotion and passion associated with these events, you won't stress yourselves by attempting to force any sexy or significant feelings. These milestones are the special experiences you shared to become the intimate partners and loving parents you are today. The children will eventually grow up and you will have an even stronger, more intimate relationship that will allow new memories to be made.

Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the Jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
teams are currently ranked the Associated Poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the Jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
Two short weeks ago when Kansas hosted Texas A&M it was in a completely different position coming off three road wins and in sole possession of second place in the conference.
"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament." Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.
Toreachthat goal the Jayhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The Jayhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No. 1 Baylor
Personnel wise, the Jayhawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.
After Texas A&M this weekend, Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.

increases in the percentage of drivers who say roadway traffic has increased their stress levels. New York, for example, came in at 45 percent in 2011, compared to just 13 percent the previous year.
Aaron Naparstek is the founder and former editor-in-chief of streetsblog.org, an online hub for everything transportation-based out of New York City. He says there is something inherent about the automobile that makes us angry at each other. "We're in these massive metal boxes, unable to communicate with each other, other than with these horn blasts," Naparstek says. "We're facing the same direction like we're in a race, competing with each other for precious, limited road space."
Part of what increases anger among commuters in congested roadways is the personal, at-home feeling we have in our automobiles, Naparstek contends. "We think we're in the private realm because we're surrounded by multiple cup holders, sitting in a plush leather seat with our iPod," Naparstek says. "We have an illusion that we're in our own personal space—our own roaming living room—but we're actually in public space."
IBM ranked the emotional and economic toll of communing with an index based on 10 issues, ranging from the amount of anger caused by driving to the belief that the price of gas is too high. Both of those are contributing reasons why Sarah Hicks, a senior from Bennington, admits to having road rage. "I would consider myself a bad driver," Hicks says. "I have road rage. I'm not very patient, especially when people are crossing. I'm just kind of annoyed."
While she admits to having road rage, Hicks rarely lays on the horn, saying she prefers to just sing in her car and keep her anger bottled up internally. However, during a recent altercation on Iowa Street,
《 we have an illusion that we're in our own personal space our own roaming living room but we're actually in public space. 》
she became the victim of someone else's rage. "Apparently we were going slow and this guy came up beside us, honking on his horn and flipping us off," Hicks says. "He pulled out in front of us and started going really slow. I was a little bit scared, but my friend kind of egged him on a bit."
Some would use Hicks' experience as evidence that road rage is mostly a phenomenon among impatient young people. However, Josh Kellerman, a technical trooper for the Kansas Highway Patrol, says that is a common misconception. "I compare it to texting," Kellerman says. "It seems like a lot of people want to push that off on teens, but when I am patrolling on the road, I see a lot of adults doing the same thing. You can't really put an age on who is an aggressive driver or who is getting road rage."
Kellerman says most incidents of road rage he sees occur as a response to someone else violating the law. While it may be difficult to shelve animosity toward someone who just put your life in danger, Kellerman says that is exactly the advice he gives frustrated drivers. "Put your pride in the back seat," Kellerman says. "If someone is being aggressive toward you,
don't challenge them."
That advice may be needed most in cities outside of the United States. The Commuter Pain Survey found that many of the cities that ranked highest on the index were in developing countries. One of those cities is New Delhi, the capital of India, which is seventh on the list with a commuter pain index of 72, compared to the 28 measured for New York City, which ranked 15th. Denise Fernandes, a junior from Kuwait, was born in India and spends much of her time in the developing country. She says driving the roads there can be a terrifying experience. "It's kind of like dancing all over the place on the road," Fernandes says. "There's lots of traffic going on and there aren't traffic lights everywhere. You have to figure out where to go and show hand signs, and it's really frustrating."
The combination of new drivers and an insufficient infrastructure makes driving in developing countries a highstakes game. Fernandes has spent a lot of time in the Indian college city of Manipal, where four of her very close friends died in motorbike accidents. Despite the personal toll poor driving has taken on Fernandes, she says she does not engage in road rage. "We all just have one life to live," Fernandes says. "If I'm not doing anything wrong and they're just in a hurry, then OK, they can go. If they want to die, they can die. I'm not going along with them."
While most of his work centered around road rage in New York City, Naparstek occasionally heard from someone abroad who put things into perspective. "It's funny. When I was doing all the stuff on horn honking, people used to say, 'You think the horn honking is bad in Brooklyn? You should visit New Delhi," Naparstek says. "If those developing cities go in an American direction, which some of them are, the more cars they squeeze into a city,
the more road rage they're going to have."
There is evidence that mobile devices and technological distractions are huge contributors to poor driving, especially in those developing countries. According to Sky News, accidents fell 20 percent in Dubai and 40 percent in Abu Dhabi during a three-day BlackBerry outage from Oct. 10-12. Naparstek does not think that's a coincidence. "I think our mobile devices are making us less patient human beings outside of our cars," Naparstek says. "When we get inside our car and there is a whole new layer of distraction and responsibility, this mobile device is nagging away at you, making you more anxious and angry at the people in your way."
To combat road rage, Naparstek came up with a unique way of dealing with stress on the road. It's called honku, and much like its haiku counterpart, it consists of three lines of five, seven and five syllables, respectively. In 2003, Naparstek released "Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage," which is described as a collection of more than 100 very funny haikus that "shines its brights on the dark side of America's car culture."
Naparstek says honku began as a way to deal with the non-stop honking outside of his New York apartment. "I actually had a near-death egg throwing experience with a motorist outside my window," Naparstek says. "He'd been honking for three minutes straight and so I hurled an egg at him, and he got pissed off."
The best way to cope with road rage, Naparstek says, is deep breathing. It also helps to understand one's own role in the problem. "The traffic is not something outside of you. You are a part of it," Naparstek says. "You are imposing yourself on others, too. The only thing you can control in those situations is how you feel."

Wallace, the Olathe sophomore, admits that he is just as much a part of the problem as the drivers he gets enraged with. But sometimes those situations are unavoidable, he says. "I have pulled out in front of people before, which is terrible, I know," Wallace says. "But you sit there long enough and you have to go. You can't just be there all day. You have to take a chance. But sometimes I cut it a little too close."

Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.

Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Gov. Sam Brownback stressed the importance of community involvement while giving a talk and answering questions at the Kansas Union Ballroom about human trafficking Thursday night.
"It's important, it's key, it's happenin g in your world," he said. "You need to do something about it."
Brownback started to explore the issue of human trafficking when he
heard about occurrences in Sudan. He visited in 2004 and listened to anecdotal stories. Since then he has visited shelters in different countries with trafficking problems including Uganda, North Korea and Myanmar.
The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking crimes as actions that "focus on the act of compelling or coercing a person's labor, services, or commercial sex acts."
Brownback wanted to give the audience an idea of how trafficking affects the people in these countries. "It's the worst you can imagine," he said.
Brownback was an original cosponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, a bill
However, Kansas is specifically considered a state with weaker laws, according to political science graduate student Laura Dean, who played an integral role in getting Brownback to speak on campus.
"We're missing lots of things like victim service protection," Dean said. "Many victims suffer STDs or are pregnant when they come in."
that sparked reform of trafficking laws. The act was renewed in 2008.
Dean, 31, researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."
"Pick an area and focus on it," he said. "...give (victims) a name and a face."
He also said he talked to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was in attendance, about raising money for a center of human trafficking on campus where students can earn degrees that would help them eliminate trafficking.
After the event, Dean said she was glad a large crowd showed up and that Brownback had some good points. "I think he showed his knowledge on the subject," she said. "It was a great opportunity to share his experiences."
Brownback hopes his talk raised awareness of trafficking.
"I hope they get the scope of what's happening," he said. "And I hope some of them were motivated."
Brownback said he hopes law-

"The University police have as much authority by state law as any other police officer in the state of Kansas within their jurisdiction," said Chris Keary, University assistant chief of police.
The only tickets issued on campus handled exclusively by the University are parking tickets. All other tickets issued are the same as any citation given by Lawrence police officers. Keary gave the example of a speeding ticket, saying that one issued by University police will be handled at the Douglas County Courthouse and the fine will be the same as if issued by city police.
Campus police jurisdiction extends to all property owned or operated by the University, board of trustees, the endowment association, athletic associations, student groups associated with the University and fraternities and sororites, though Keary said the University generally lets the LPD handle calls

perimeter. Drawing more detencers to guard the paint allows a slash to the basket.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-adapted three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.
Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a .500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked NA.25 by the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.

Funny Females
We've come a long way since "I Love Lucy." //KELSEY CIPOLLA
After decades of being told they aren't as funny as men, women are stepping into the limelight and showing just how funny they can be.
John Belushi once famously stated that women aren't funny. While it seems easy to write off as sexist, the notion that there is some innate difference in the humor of men and women has persisted for a disturbingly long time.
A University of California San Diego study from last year titled "Who's Funny: Gender Stereotypes, Humor Production, And Memory Bias" tested this claim by having people judge the quality of humor in cartoon captions, without knowing who wrote it. Researchers found that men were only slightly funnier than women, largely because other men found them funny. Men were also more likely to get credit for funny remarks and women more likely to get blamed for the bad jokes, perpetuating the stereotype.
Fortunately, women aren't letting that stop them from being funny as hell.
Havana Mahoney was destined to be a comedian. The daughter of former members of a traveling improvisational group, she was always drawn to comedy. She started an improv comedy group at her high school in Manhattan and after coming to KU, she found Stitch Tactics Now a senior, Mahoney says her style might not be lady-like in the traditional sense; she talks about poop and the pros and cons of having a penis, but she doesn't think her gender should be an issue.
"A lot of people have come up to me and been like, 'You joke like a man,'" Mahoney says, affecting the accent of a crotchety old person. "No, I just joke, and you have horrible, stereotypical views of life."
After a couple years with Stitch Tactics, a KU student comedy group, Mahoney joined its more selective Kansas City branch, as well as an all-girl improv troupe in Lawrence, called Girlprov.
"Inherently, just based on gender roles in our society as a whole, they would put us into subordinate roles where we'd be the wife or we'd be the submissive girlfriend, or the mom, or the annoying female friend," Mahoney says of the Girl-prov members' experiences with men in comedy. "But it was never intentional."
Girlprov co-founder and University alum Jackie Koester says the group came together for a simpler reason—similar personalities and senses of humor that made for more cohesive and entertaining performances.
Koester, who grew up in a small town, turned to women like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for comedic inspiration and thinks the success of their shows, the Emmy-winning "30 Rock" and Emmy-nominated "Parks and Recreation," help other women feel more confident pursuing comedy.
The presence of women in media hasn't always been so inspiring. For a long time, women on TV were mothers and wives and nothing else. Then, along came a famous redhead.
"Lucille Ball in the 1950s was, as some people will call her, a pre-feminist," says Dr. Lynn Spangler, an associate dean of liberal arts and sciences at the State University of New York at New Paltz and author of "Television Women from Lucy to Friends: Fifty Years of Sitcoms and Feminism."
In a way, it all started with "I Love Lucy," which showed the brazen title character as a mother and a wife but also being funny in a way that people still react to today. She was offered several jobs yet pursued her dreams of being an entertainer. More recently, Jennifer Anniston's character Rachel Green on the '90s sitcom "Friends" showed a woman that could be funny, independent and career-oriented. Tina Fey's Liz Lemon on "30 Rock" is a single woman leading a major network show's writing staff.
"One of the things feminists have been accused of is not having a sense of humor," Spangler says. "Well, Tina definitely has a sense of humor."
Spangler points out that the more women we see being portrayed realistically as funny, capable, and flawed, the more accepting society becomes of women and women become of themselves.
"With the right attitude, it doesn't matter what gender you are. The audience is going to accept you as in control and give you the proper respect and attention."
Mahoney's troupe Girlprov will perform Feb. 11 in Improv Thunderdome, a comedy troupe competition, at the Westport Flea Market in Kansas City, Mo.

Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
perimeter. Drawing more oerencers to guard the paint allows a slash to the basket.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-advised three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.

Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a 500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked No. 25 by the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.
"You look at all three of them and it has been gut-wrenching" coach Bonnie Hendrickson said. "In this league you have got to be able to take care of your home court and we have not done that."
Kansas looked like it had the game decided midway through the second half with a series of stunning offense and stiffing defense. Up seven, the jayhawks started to slide again and needed a three-pointer to send it into overtime. Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
Two short weeks ago when Kansas hosted Texas A&M it was in a completely different position coming off three road wins and in sole possession of second place in the conference.
tions are currently the Associated Press poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament" Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.
To reach that goal the Jayhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The Jayhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No. 1 Baylor
Angel Goodrich who leads the nation in assists and junior forward Carolyn Davis who leads in shooting percentage. The team as a whole ranks sixth in the nation in overall shooting percentage, but in the last two games that hasn't translated. The Jayhawks shot just 38.2 percent from the field, well under their average of 47.9.
Personnel wise, the Jahawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.
After Texas &M this weekend, Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.

Movie Review: Get Some Culture: "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" Expressing Emotion //RACHEL SCHULTZ
//LANDON MCDONALD
When the Oscar nominations were first announced, I was dismayed to find that the shamelessly cloying 9/11 melodrama "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" had inexplicably wormed its way into the Best Picture race. Despite heaps of ham-fisted tear-jerking, Stephen Daldry's newest film is the cinematic equivalent of gorging on rice cakes for two hours: flat, empty, tasteless and ultimately nauseating.
Give "Extremely Loud" some credit; it does manage the difficult task of taking a gifted but troubled child whose father died on 9/11 and turning him into a thoroughly unsympathetic lead character. The over-indulged brat in question, played with abrasive brio by Thomas Horn, is one of those precocious movie waifs whose every pre-packaged quirk and foible is meant to come across as effortlessly endearing. Not so here. There's nothing charming about compulsive lying, self-abuse or using autism and 9/11 as thematic crutches to make up for a lack of pathos in your screenplay.
A year after the death of his idealized father (Tom Hanks), young Oskar rummages through his closet and finds a mysterious key in an envelope marked Black. To avoid confronting his harridan mother (Sandra Bullock)
and his own grief, the boy sets out to interview everyone in New York with the surname Black to see what catharsis the key can unlock. Many of the characters they run across deserve separate movies of their own, if only to let them escape from Oskar and his nails-on-a-chalkboard inquisitions.
Make no mistake: great art can and has been made of the 9/11 attacks, like Paul Greengrass" "United 93" and Spike Lee's "25th Hour," both of which worked hard to earn their audience's trust and engagement. And if you're simply craving a film about a boy struggling to reconnect with his dead father through a magic key, just see "Hugo" again and thank me later.

"The Articulate Body" exhibit sheds a modern light on how body language and movement is a prominent source of communication, even in the changing technological world.
Jennifer Crupi, the artist behind this exhibit at the Lawrence Art Center, is an associate professor at Kean University in New Jersey. She designed these wearable pieces to highlight guarded and unguarded gestures, as well as movements commonly used as stress relievers and to express annoyances. The media and materials that she uses make many of the pieces seem like medical or scientific devices, letting the viewer question whether the art is functional or representational, says Ben Ahlvers, exhibition program director for the Lawence Arts Center.
"Her approach to the topic of body language and communication between humans is a very unique one," Ahlvers says. "The quality and integrity of the pieces are astounding"
Her piece "Unguarded Gestures 2" loops around the neck and holds the wearer's arms and hands in a shape as if his or her hands were on the hips. The pieces are mounted and displayed on Plexiglas and mirrors, without a
body form, to accentuate the body language she wishes to highlight.
"I tried to go beyond simply making the piece by putting it in context or display that helps you understand what it is, without wearing it," Crupi says.
"The Articulate Body" exhibit is simplistic. All of the pieces are completely handmade, and Crumpi hopes the exhibit will show the different ways our bodies speak for us.
The exhibition is on display now until March 8 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Galleries are open Mon - Sat. 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.

Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Gov. Sam Brownback stressed the importance of community involvement while giving a talk and answering questions at the Kansas Union Ballroom about human trafficking Thursday night.
"It's important, it's key, it's happening in your world," he said. "You need to do something about it."
Brownback started to explore the issue of human trafficking when he
The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking crimes as actions that "focus on the act of compelling or coercing a person's labor, services, or commercial sex acts."
Brownback was an original cosponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, a bill
However, Kansas is specifically considered a state with weaker laws, according to political science graduate student Laura Dean, who played an integral role in getting Brownback to speak on campus.
heard about occurrences in Sudan. He visited in 2004 and listened to anecdotal stories. Since then he has visited shelters in different countries with trafficking problems including Uganda, North Korea and Myanmar.
Brownback wanted to give the audience an idea of how trafficking affects the people in these countries. "It's the worst you can imagine," he said.
"We're missing lots of things like victim service protection," Dean said. "Many victims suffer STDs or are pregnant when they come in."
Dean, 31; researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."
"Pick an area and focus on it," he said. "...give (victims) a name and a face"
that sparked reform of trafficking laws. The act was renewed in 2008.
He also said he talked to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was in attendance, about raising money for a center of human trafficking on campus where students can earn degrees that would help them eliminate trafficking.
After the event, Dean said she was glad a large crowd showed up and that Brownback had some good points. "I think he showed his knowledge on the subject," she said. "It was a great opportunity to share his experiences."
Brownback said he hopes law-
Brownback hopes his talk raised awareness of trafficking.

"The University police have as much authority by state law as any other police officer in the state of Kansas within their jurisdiction," said Chris Keary, University assistant chief of police.
The only tickets issued on campus handled exclusively by the University are parking tickets. All other tickets issued are the same as any citation given by Lawrence police officers. Keary gave the example of a speeding ticket, saying that one issued by University police will be handled at the Douglas County Courthouse and the fine will be the same as if issued by city police.
Campus police jurisdiction extends to all property owned or operated by the University, board of trustees, the endowment association, athletic associations, student groups associated with the University and fraternities and sororites, though Keary said the University generally lets the LPD handle calls

and make stops in the others jurisdiction if a crime is observed by an on-duty officer. Both LPD and the University can also enter others' jurisdiction while in pursuit, or if there is reason to believe a person who committed a violation is in other jurisdictions.

Better options for bad situations... NAPPING //ALLISON BOND
The years spent in college are infamously known as sleep-deprivation years. Whether it is due to pulling all-night cram sessions before a test, partying or the endless schedule to keep up with, college students are not getting enough sleep.
"I don't sleep a lot at all. I'm a really light sleeper and wake up often and easily," says Lauren Hagg, a freshman from Wichita. "If I get three hours of sleep I can easily function throughout the day."
To help with our sleep deprivation in college we tend to take naps. While society often sees this as a sign of laziness, studies show that taking a 20 to 30 minute nap during the day actually increases mental judgment, reasoning and problem solving.
"There is an art and science to napping," says Dr. Edward Creagan from Mayo Clinic hospital in Rochester, Minn. Dr. Creagan says that a 20 minute nap between 2 and 3 p.m. is the most helpful to restoring energy and alertness. Taking longer naps makes us feel lethargic and "we lose that edge and sharpness," Dr. Creagan says.
College students are now sleeping 1 to 1.6 hours less than they did a generation ago, according to a study at the University of Michigan.

KING CHAIRS
Annie Calvert, a freshman from Andover sees this same result when she takes naps. "Naps give me more energy to finish out my day if I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before." Calvert says.
Three helpful tips Dr. Creagan says can help people fall asleep are a cool, quiet environment, a consistent routine before going to sleep and the use of padded eye shades to help with complete darkness.

The rise of the e-book //KELSEA ECKENROTH
E-books are shaking up the publishing industry but how much are they changing the way students read?
An e-reader is a digital reading device that is lighter and more portable than a regular printed book. It allows you to carry lots of books in your hand and in your backpack because they are all digitally stored on one device.
TIMES ARE CHANGING
I took an English class last semester and I'm pretty sure the book for my class weighed as much as an overweight lap dog. I was required to bring the book to every class meeting, which also happened to be near the end of the day. By the time I got home from school after walking around all day with that thing in my backpack, the only thing I wanted was a 30-minute massage to ease the pain. I never knew I could have so much hatred towards an inanimate object, but it was so much of an inconvenience for me to carry around a heavy book when I only needed 10 pages from it. Needless to say, selling that book at the end of the semester was very satisfying.
In the past, students have been forced to carry around multiple heavy books for classes. Lucky for us, technology has once again made our lives easier by introducing the e-reader.
Dani Costanza, a senior from Overland Park, joined the e-book revolution when she got an Amazon Kindle as a gift from her parents. She uses her Kindle 3-4 times a week for both school and her own reading pleasure. She has 50 to 60 books on her Kindle but only paid for four of them and downloaded the rest for free. "I have one poetry book for my English class that I am reading right now," Costanza says. "I paid half the price of a regular book for my poetry book."
FOR LOVE OF THE PRINTED BOOK
Unlike Costanza, many students can't give up loyalty to the printed book. Lottie Likens, the manager of University Book Shop, says she has had customers tell her that buying e-books makes them feel like they are spending money on nothing. It's like paying a decent amount of money for
a non-tangible object. "You can't beat having the book in your possession," Likens says.
Shannon Thompson, a junior from Overland Park, reads frequently and likes having a tangible book to write and take notes in. "There's something therapeutic about having the book in your hand and turning pages," she says. "You feel like you are going somewhere when you turn the pages and know how much you have read."
Alyson Lippert, a senior from Stilwell usually reads one book every week. She prefers printed books, although she has a Kindle application on her iPad that allows her to download and read e-books.
"Reading books on my iPad is convenient when I travel and when I go to class, but I like to have an actual book in my hand," she says. Lippert has her books displayed on a bookshelf so she can go back and look at her accomplishments.
E-BOOKS AND CLASSES
Likens says it is hard to judge how e-books will affect the future, but the University Book Shop is adjusting its game plan a little bit to try and meet with the growing e-book trend. Likens says that the store is also offering the cheapest textbook prices she has ever seen. "There's a book that was $110 to rent and now it's $10 to rent," she says.
Many textbooks for classes are now offered in both printed and e-book form. E-books for science courses are usually more expensive than for English or history courses. The e-textbook for "College Chemistry" costs $114.74 from Kindle, and the e-textbook for most Shakespeare English courses costs 99 cents in Kindle format. The KU Bookstore price for a used "College Chemistry" textbook is $129.25 and a used Shakespeare book is $75. Despite having the option to choose between the two formats, the majority of students still seem to prefer regular textbooks. E-books can't be sold back after the semester's end, but they will always belong to the person who bought it.

"It's important, it's key, it's happening in your world," he said. "You need to do something about it."
Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.

Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Dean, 31, researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."

Do this.. Swing Dancing
The dance lesson starts in five minutes, but everyone appears comfortable sitting in the plastic chairs pushed to the outskirts of the wooden floor. Shortly after I sit down, a baby-faced woman with long brown hair reaches over an empty seat next to me and introduces herself. "Is this your first time?" asks Katie Scrivio, a sophomore at Johnson County Community College. She began attending the Tuesday night swing dance lesson when a friend invited her over winter break.
At 8 p.m., class begins. Men are told to line up on one side of the room, women the other. There are about 30 women and 25 men. The KU Swing Society president, Brad Anderson, and treasurer, Maureen Mulvihill, introduce the Lindy Hop, an 8-count dance performed with bent knees and relaxed partner connection. There is no music; our feet drum the beat on the floor.
The rhythm is retained until turns and quicksteps are added, at which point Mulvihill, a senior from Perry, says, "There are no mistakes in swing dancing, only variations."
After we learn our individual steps, leads and follows are paired. The pressure builds when I partner with Igor Zheldakov, a postdoctoral student from St. Petersburg, Russia. Zheldakov has attended multiple lessons, which is helpful when the dance becomes more complex.
The class can be likened to speed dating; within 20 minutes I dance with eight partners. By 9 p.m., I've met a dozen people and can perform all eight counts of the Lindy Hop with

a partner.
The only drawback I find comes from Rachel Brown, a sophomore from Lenexa with a background in dancing. The lessons are great for beginners, she says, but there is a limit to how much the lessons teach. Brown says if you are a more seasoned dancer it is best to come after 9 p.m., when the class ends and the floor is available for open dance. The entire event is free and lasts from 8 to 11 p.m.

Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-advised three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.
TOUR AND EXCURSION.
"You look at all three of them and it has been gut-wrenching" coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "In this league you have got to be able to take care of your home court and we have not done that."
Kansas looked like it had the game decided midway through the second half with a series of stunning offense and stiffing defense. Up seven, the Jayhawks started to slide again and needed a three-pointer to send it into overtime. Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the Jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a .500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked No. 25 by the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.

"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament." Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.
Two short weeks ago when Kansas hosted Texas A&M it was in a completely different position coming off three road wins and in sole possession of second place in the conference.
kings are currently among the Associated Press poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
To reach that goal the layhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The layhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No.1 Baylor
After Texas A&M this weekend, Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.
Personnel wise, the Jahawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Breaux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.
Angel Goodrich who leads the nation in assists and junior forward Carolyn Davis who leads in shooting percentage. The team as a whole ranks sixth in the nation in overall shooting percentage, but in the last two games that hasn't translated. The Jayhawks shot just 38.2 percent from the field, well under their average of 47.9.

remember my old room perfectly. The walls neon green, so bright that even in the darkest of the night the room glowed. Outlining the room was a
a bright pink strip of crown modeling sand wiched between its neon green walls and white ceiling. This room fit me; even at 22 years old, I'd feel completely comfortable in it. But this room doesn't exist anymore. Last time I saw it the green walls were white and bare. The pink crowning blended in an all-white sandwich. The reason for making such a bright room so depressingly boring? My family moved. The move started this past summer, after my mother's job relocated her and a few hundred others from Kansas City to Indianapolis. So over summer break I packed up my things and left them in a storage unit in Overland Park, where most of the items still live. My mother's things were

shipped away along with us. It was weird saying goodbye to a home that I lived in my entire life.I can still remember everything about that house: the Mayberry tree, affectionately named May by my mom, that we planted in the front yard was just starting its life; the nearly floor-length windows we used to lay in front of and watch snowstorms whenever the power went out until the wee hours of the morning; the trail of paw prints on the basement floor leading from the red room into the yellow room, from when my cat walked on the still-wet paint over seven years ago.
While these memories still linger, I can't even predict what my future memories will be. My mother goes crazy for Christmas; the elves have nothing on her. When moving we kept 15 huge crates of holiday and house decorations. I only wish this was an exaggeration. Somehow all these decorations fit in our home the same way every year. My mother decided that since she came back to Kansas for the holidays she wasn't even going to decorate in Indianapolis. So the boxes remain, in the storage unit with the rest of our old life.
"The weirdest part of the move is the fact that I no longer have a place to call home."
home."
The weirdest part of the move is the fact that I no longer have a place to call home. To finish off my summer in Indianapolis, I took two large Vera Bradley
duffles. I slept in the 'guest bedroom' of my mother's new home. While she does have a second bedroom, it's shared between my brother, my mother's dozen guests who visit throughout the year, and myself. All that I left there was an extra pair of clothes, flip-flops and an old pair of tennis shoes--life's essentials when going "home" for the weekend.
Although I will never admit it to my mother, her being away is pretty difficult. My mom is my best friend; we have one of those weird Gilmore Girls types of relationship. You know, the "tell each other everything, finish each others' thoughts and generally have an identical opinion on every topic" sort. Before the move I would go home more than I should--whenever I was upset about something, needed someone to vent to, or just to take a break from life. I don't have that opportunity anymore.
It's weird not being able to be cradled in her lap as she sings my song, Bailey, Bailey, oh how your eyes are blue, I am half crazy, all for the love of you (Yes, this still happens occasionally). We still make time to talk though. Although we have two completely opposite schedules, we find time to talk at least a half hour a day. But it's not enough. To me, this seems like child neglect.
I guess if I had to decide what was the hardest part of the move, it would have to be being forced to grow up. Ask any of my friends, I don't know my age. My room has a Cinderella rug, Tinkerbell shower curtain and plenty of pink. (That's kind of embarrassing to admit publicly.) Not to mention I get scared so easily. Every noise makes me jump, and the last scary movie I saw was ET. Does this seem like someone who's ready to be an adult? I know that going to college was supposed to make me more responsible and mature, which I think I am. But still wanting to be a mama's girl and to spend as much time at home as I can, while I can, doesn't seem that ridiculous to me.
So I am at a crossroads, fighting to grow up. Behind me, a Cinderella dress hangs in my closest and on the desk next to me, the water bill: two items that should never be kept together in one girl's room.

Saturday's game against rival Missouri is one that must be won in the paint and on the boards. Because Missouri is a guard-oriented team that counts on one big man, Ricardo Ratliffe, Kansas cannot abandon its front-court offense. The Jayhawks have the height advantage against the Tigers. Ratliffe will pose problems, but Withey and Robinson have no excuse to get into foul trouble. They must be the aggressors like they were against Oklahoma and attack Missouri's big men, especially Ratliffe, and get Missouri into foul trouble.
perimeter. Drawing more oerenders to guard the paint allows a slash to the basket.
Both Robinson and Withey cannot have off nights because the front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, are unreliable. The Jayhawks will go as far as where their front-court offense takes them. Kansas has no business launching ill-advised three-pointers when they can work their offense through a 7-footer and an All-American candidate.

Kansas looked like it had the game decided midway through the second half with a series of stunning offense and stifling defense. Up seven, the Jayhawks started to slide again and needed a three-pointer to send it into overtime. Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior guard Monica Engelman hit clutch shots to keep the Jayhawks in the game and turnovers and defensive breakdowns helped lead to the swift demise of No. 25.
Halfway through league play, Kansas is fighting to defend a 500 record. Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas was ranked No.25 by the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches poll, but that excitement was lost in the overtime loss.
READS ACTIVITY AND ORIGINAL
"You look at all three of them and it has been gut-wrenching" coach Bonnie Henrickson said "In this league you have got to be able to take care of your home court and we have not done that."
To reach that goal the Jayhawks need at least 20 wins and around nine or 10 in expanded conference play. The Jayhawks start the second wind of their round robin conference schedule this weekend. They will face three of the four teams they lost to on the road and host No.1 Baylor
After Texas A&M this weekend, Kansas will return home to host Texas before hitting the road again with stops at Kansas State and Iowa State.
"I really believe if Kansas would have won this ball game it would have punched their ticket even this early to the tournament." "faxes A&M coach Gary Blair said.
teams are currently named the Associated Press poll and another three are receiving votes including Kansas. But as the jayhawks reach for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000, they are left with no guaranteed victories in this talented league.
Angel Goodrich who leads the nation in assists and junior forward Carolyn Davis who leads in shooting percentage. The team as a whole ranks sixth in the nation in overall shooting percentage, but in the last two games that hasn't translated. The Jayhawks shot just 38.2 percent from the field, well under their average of 47.9.
Personnel wise, the Jayhawks have struggled. Sophomore guard Keena Mays and freshman guard Donielle Baux left the team earlier in the season leaving Kansas with 10 women on the roster. Even with the downsizing, freshman guard Asia Boyd who entered the program as the No. 37 recruit is playing minimal minutes.

SISTERS ACT
A CELEBRATION OF RIGHTS
KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com
February is more than a month of the year to 30 former students; it's a reminder of the challenges women faced in the 1970s. This year marks the women studies department's 40th anniversary.
The group of 30 women, known as the February Sisters, locked themselves into the East Asian Studies building on Feb.4 1972, to draw attention to the University's unfair policies toward women. Their demands included a free daycare center for students and faculty, more women as administrators and professors, health services for women and the creation of a women studies department.
"It was a time when there was a lot of turmoil and a lot of ferment about civil rights, about women's rights, about anti-war," said Ann Schofield, a professor in the women, gender and sexuality studies department. "They were asking that they have more possibilities in their lives."
Protesters didn't even exchange names to avoid being tempted to turn each other in, said Tami Albin, the librarian for the women, gender and sexuality department, who has researched the event's history. They also came prepared to stay in the building for at least a week, she said.
After years of trying to discuss their demands with University officials, the sisters were moved to drastic action after a speech from feminist icon Robin Morgan several days
before. They quickly mobilized and a group of four women began scouting buildings the group could take over in protest.

In reality, the women only had to occupy the building for 13 hours. Administrators quickly reached out to them to begin negotiations, and most of their demands became realities, including the formation of the womens studies department, which launched a doctoral program this year, making the University one of only 18 that offers the degree.
Although Schofield and Albin both acknowledge that the University has made huge improvements in addressing issues affecting female students, problems still exist. Women still struggle to earn as much money in jobs as their male counterparts, and women's reproductive health services continue to be a hotly contested issue.
these women 40 years ago and were dealing with those same things today," Albin said. "The fight for women to have rights isn't over. It will never be over."
"What's important is that we have
The Commission on the Status of Women held a re-enactment of the famous lock-in on Wednesday in Wescoe. Students were invited to write their thoughts on what issues the University needs to work on and the problems women face today.
"We can't really actually chain ourselves in, so we're doing the next best thing," said JT Hammons, vice president of the CSW and a senior from Valley Falls. "We have our own 21st century demands."
Those demands include getting the University to introduce more domestic and sexual assault services, educate incoming freshman about healthy relationships and provide same sex benefits for faculty and staff.
"A lot of people are just apathetic," Hammons said. "They don't think about these things until the question was raised."

Brownback addresses trafficking issue
KU

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Gov. Sam Brownback shares his experiences of witnessing human trafficking in multiple countries from Uganda to North Korea during a lecture Thursday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Brownback encouraged students and local residences to take action by working with redemption programs and going to countries to see first hand the affects of human trafficking.
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
Brownback shared why he thought human trafficking was an important issue to a crowd of more than 200 people at the event hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Gov. Sam Brownback stressed the importance of community involvement while giving a talk and answering questions at the Kansas Union Ballroom about human trafficking Thursday night.
"It's important, it's key, it's happening in your world," he said. "You need to do something about it."
Brownback started to explore the issue of human trafficking when he
heard about occurrences in Sudan. He visited in 2004 and listened to anecdotal stories. Since then he has visited shelters in different countries with trafficking problems including Uganda, North Korea and Myanmar.
The U.S. Department of Justice defines human trafficking crimes as actions that "focus on the act of compelling or coercing a person's labor, services, or commercial sex acts."
Brownback wanted to give the audience an idea of how trafficking affects the people in these countries. "It's the worst you can imagine," he said.
However, Kansas is specifically considered a state with weaker laws, according to political science graduate student Laura Dean, who played an integral role in getting Brownback to speak on campus.
Brownback was an original co-sponsor of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, a bill
that sparked reform of trafficking laws. The act was renewed in 2008.
Dean, 31, researched trafficking in Kansas and worked in a shelter for trafficking victims in Latvia. "Right now they go to half-way houses," she said. "But there are no shelters dedicated specifically to trafficking victims."
"We're missing lots of things like victim service protection," Dean said. "Many victims suffer STDs or are pregnant when they come in."
makers can set aside personal differences and help curb trafficking.
"I think what we really need to be doing nationally as a country right now, is focusing on policies that created pools of trafficking victims," he said.
Kansas is known to be a hub of trafficking in the United States. Dean said that Kansas' location and economy make it a major transportation area for victims.
"There's a major highway that runs from Canada to Mexico that traffickers use," Dean said about Interstate-35, which runs through south-eastern Kansas. "The agriculturally based economy also makes it a place for forced labor and trafficking."
While I-35 crosses Kansas, Interstate-70 crosses the whole state horizontally - it stretches from Utah to Maryland. The two highways intersect in Kansas City, which has one of the highest numbers of trafficking arrests in the country.
Brownback encouraged the audience to get involved in the issue on a global level.
Brownback said he hopes law-
"Pick an area and focus on it," he said. "...give (victims) a name and a face."
He also said he talked to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who was in attendance, about raising money for a center of human trafficking on campus where students can earn degrees that would help them eliminate trafficking.
After the event, Dean said she was glad a large crowd showed up and that Brownback had some good points. "I think he showed his knowledge on the subject," she said. "It was a great opportunity to share his experiences."
Brownback hopes his talk raised awareness of trafficking.
"I hope they get the scope of what's happening," he said. "And I hope some of them were motivated."

KU police's power surprises student
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyen@kansan.com
Kendall Pierce saw the red and blue lights and immediately thought about running.
"I didn't though," said Pierce, a junior from Benton. "At the time I didn't even go to KU,and I knew I was drunk, but I didn't think the campus police could do much."
Pierce and a friend were walking along West Campus Road on their way home after a night of drinking in fall 2009. Both were underage, and neither were expecting minor in possession citations.
"I knew the campus cops could make sure students weren't causing trouble," Pierce said. "I didn't know that they could give people who aren't students tickets, and I didn't know they could give tickets like the city police can."
Pierce, like many students, was unaware of the powers University police hold.
"The University police have as much authority by state law as any other police officer in the state of Kansas within their jurisdiction," said Chris Keary, University assistant chief of police.
The only tickets issued on campus handled exclusively by the University are parking tickets. All other tickets issued are the same as any citation given by Lawrence police officers. Keary gave the example of a speeding ticket, saying that one issued by University police will be handled at the Douglas County Courthouse and the fine will be the same as if issued by city police.
Campus police jurisdiction extends to all property owned or operated by the University, board of trustees, the endowment association, athletic associations, student groups associated with the University and fraternities and sororities, though Keary said the University generally lets the LPD handle calls
- have the authority to transport transplant organs and emergency medical supplies
- have four marked police cars, four unmarked police cars and one suburban
According to Kansas statutes, KU police jurisdiction also extends to streets, properties and highways immediately adjacent to campus.
DID YOU KNOW
UNIVERSITY
POLICE:
"We can also enter other jurisdictions when asked to do so by the governing police department," Keary said. "Years ago we used to go to Manhattan to help with the KU and K-State games, because they asked us to, and when we were there, we had the same powers they did."
Keary said the University and LPD also made a legal agreement in 1999 that KU police may enter and make stops in the others' jurisdiction if a crime is observed by an on-duty officer. Both LPD and the University can also enter others' jurisdiction while in pursuit, or if there is reason to believe a person who committed a violation is in other jurisdictions.
- currently have 26 officers but are budgeted for 28. These are not the same as campus police officers under Kansas Statutes
from the Greek community.
Index
Pierce thinks if he had known that information beforehand, he might have behaved differently.
"I was polite," Pierce said. "But if I would have known to take it as serious as if anyone were else were stopping me, I probably would have done things a little different."

Fitness challenge to include students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
"During the holidays, students tend to gain weight and this contest is a good way to be held accountable for getting more fit and healthy," said Rebecca Goering, communications coordinator for the University.
Students and faculty hit the scales Wednesday afternoon for the first week's weigh-in of the Scale Down Challenge at Amber Student Recreation Center. The 10-week weight-loss program, which is modeled after NBC's television show "The Biggest Loser", weighs participants every week and awards cash prizes for those who lose the greatest percentage of their initial weight.
So far, 67 students and 73 faculty and staff have signed up to participate in the Scale Down Challenge.
Paige Blevins, a senior from Great Bend, says the competitive element will be the most motivational aspect for her.
"I need to be healthier, and I'm competitive," Blevins said. "So the competition aspect is going to help me get healthier."
Blevins said she hopes to lose 30 pounds. She plans to eat more fruits and vegetables, and work out five or six times a week for an hour, in addition to an exercise class she is taking this semester.
Although she sees the other participants as rivals, Blevins also sees the benefit of the group element.
"If you have a community of people who you're losing weight with, even competitively, it offers a support system," she said. "You know you're not alone."
The Scale Down Challenge was only open to faculty last year, and this is the first year when students can participate. However, faculty and students are not competing against each other. Students pay a $25 entry fee, which will be used to purchase prizes for the five individuals who lose the most percentage of weight. Weekly prizes are also awarded to the individual who lost the most that week.
However, Brian Stutz, a graduate student from Aurora, Ill., is not as interested in winning the grand prize. He sees the competition as an incentive to stay in shape.
45
"Being held accountable helps you stay motivated to get out to the gym and eat healthy." Stutz said.
Having not exercised regularly much before, Stutz started consistently working out during the past three weeks and sees the weigh-ins as motivation to continue his routine.
Stutz wants to lose 20 pounds total, or two pounds every week.
"This is a way to be more proactive with yourself" Stutz said. "You look good and feel good."

Kansas water policy bills move from House to Senate
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The House voted Thursday to eliminate a requirement that rights holders use a prescribed allotment of water or lose their rights. The 124-0 vote sent the measure to the Senate.
TOPEKA — Two pieces of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal to revise the state's policies on water use cleared legislative hurdles on Thursday, moving a step closer to giving farmers and cities more flexibility in managing the limited resource.
Later in the day, the Senate voted 39-0 for a bill modifying a program that gives water right holders flexibility in how much of their allotment they use each year. It also provides for a percentage of that amount to be held in conservation.
House Speaker Mike O'Neal didn't anticipate the remaining pieces of Brownback's water proposals having difficulty winning approval.

"What I like about what Sam has done is that we have been talking about many of these for some time. He's come forward and said it's time to do something about it,"
said O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republic.
O'Neal said the "use-it-or-loseit" policy begun in 1945 doesn't work in modern times. Changing the policy in a time when the Ogallala is being depleted and the state has experienced severe drought conditions in some areas for nearly two years makes sense, he said.

Cold snap freezes Black Sea as death toll rises in Poland
BELGRADE, Serbia — Authorities in Serbia say some 11,000 villagers are trapped by heavy snow and blizzards as a cold spell grips eastern Europe.
Europe's death toll from a week of frigid weather rose to 113 people Thursday with reports of 20 more deaths in Ukraine, nine more in Poland and one more in Serbia. Emergency crews were working overtime across the region as temperatures sank to minus 26.5 F.
Emergency police official Predrag Maric said Thursday those stranded people live in some 6,500 homes in remote mountainous areas of Serbia that cannot be reached by icy, snow-clogged roads.
Parts of the Black Sea froze near the Romanian coastline and the rare snow fell on Croatian islands in the Adriatic Sea. In Bulgaria, 16 towns recorded their lowest temperatures since records started 100 years ago. Officials appealed to the public Thursday to quickly help anyone they saw in need.

Pakistani Prime Minister to face contempt charge
Gilani
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's Supreme Court vowed Thursday to charge the prime minister with contempt for his failure to reopen an old corruption case against the president, ramping up a destabilizing political crisis just as Washington seeks to rebuild a troubled anti-terror alliance with the country.
ALISHA KURTAN
If convicted, Prime Minister
Yusuf Raza Gilani could face six months in prison and the loss of his job.
Gilani told parliament Thursday that he will honor a summons to appear before the court on Feb. 13, when he is scheduled to be charged.
The announcement was a major escalation in a case that has dogged the democratically elected government since 2009, when the Supreme Court ordered it write to Swiss authorities requesting they reopen a corruption case against President Asif Ali Zardari that dates to the late 1990s.
The government has refused, claiming the president enjoys immunity from prosecution while in office.
In early January, the judges threatened to hold Gilani in contempt if he didn't write the letter, ordering him to make a rare appearance before the court to plead his case.
North Korean demands signal, new talks with South Korea
ASIA
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea on Thursday demanded several tough preconditions for resuming talks with rival South Korea, as it backed away from earlier vows to shum Seoul's conservative leader in what could be a sign of conciliation.
South Korea quickly called the demands made in a statement by the Policy Department of the North's powerful National Defense Commission "unreasonable." But the timing of the statement, which follows comments Wednesday by a senior U.S. diplomat that Washington is open to diplomacy if Pyongyang improves ties with Seoul, and the change in tone after weeks of refusal to talk with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak could signal a willingness to ease tensions, analysts said.
The North's defense commission issued a list of nine conditions, including demands that South Korea apologize for failing to show proper respect to Kim Jong Il during the mourning period that followed the late leader's death.
The North also demanded an end to U.S.-South Korean military drills, which the allies hold regularly but that Pyongyang calls a rehearsal for war. A round of military exercises are to start later this month.
South Korea has called for dialogue as new North Korean leader Kim Jong Un tries to consolidate power and extend his family dynasty into a third generation following his father Kim Jong Il's death.

Tricycle bomb kills six, wounds 20 in attack on police station
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian officials now say six people are dead and 20 wounded in an attack with homemade mortars on a police station in a western town.
Alarcon said it is premature to assign blame for the attack.
Thursday's attack on the police post in Villa Rica comes a day after a bomb planted in a tricycle outside a police station in the Pacific port of Tumaco killed nine people and injured another 76.
Cauca state police chief Col. Ricardo Alarcon tells The Associated Press that the dead Thursday include the Villa Rica police commander and five civilians.
Colombia's defense minister says leftist rebels in league with a drug-trafficking gang were behind the Tumaco attack.

Senate to open student graphic design shop
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
Student Senate's two main projects for the spring semester seem to have a common theme technology.
Senators will celebrate the opening of their project - a student design center in the Kansas Union and will seek to help the University implement more technology into every classroom on campus. The student design center will be located on the fifth floor of the union.
Student body president Libby Johnson said Student Senate will employ students who are graphic design majors and they will create logos, flyers, t-shirt designs and any graphic that is requested for student organizations that need to market their events.
"We believe this will benefit student organizations because one of
the most important things for outreach of a student organization is to be recognizable," Johnson said.
"It will also benefit students to help build their portfolio," she said. "They would be working professionally with hands on work."
Job request forms will be available on Feb. 6, and the design center will open shortly after. Student groups will have a certain number of graphics designed for free, and after that there will be a charge that helps pay the design workers.
Eric Norton, a junior from Dodge City, said this program will benefit both student groups and graphic design majors.
"I think it will provide good job opportunities on campus for design majors, as well as provide valuable resources for students who are looking to give their organization a recognizable identity," Norton said. "This will also help the organization seem more organized and professional."
Johnson worked with a graduate focus group last semester; surveys were handed out to faculty members on their view of technology in the classroom.
Student Senate also wants to implement more technology in classrooms. Johnson said that it was inevitable that more technology will be seen in the classroom eventually.
Johnson will also be speaking with the University Senate at the end of February to get more feedback. She hopes to have a model statement that will be optional for faculty members to put in their syllabus.
"Technology in the classroom would be very beneficial for the student body," she said. "Textbooks could be a third of the price if bought through e-books."
Johnson said that while it would be helpful, there still are unan-

swered questions in this project.
"We understand that technology can cause distractions, right now we are working to get teachers, faculty and the student body on the same page," she said. "However, we also understand technology is going to be ingrained in the classroom in five or 10 years. We would like KU to start talking about it so when the time comes we are ready for such changes."

Officials to investigate grain elevator explosion
The explosion was reported early Thursday at the Cairo Coop in Arlington, about 15 miles southwest of Hutchinson.
Associated Press
ARLINGTON Federal inspectors arrived Thursday at the scene of a central Kansas grain elevator explosion that injured one worker.
Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson said one employee was taken to
a Wichita hospital with burns. The Hutchinson News reports that the worker was seriously injured, and that investigators from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have arrived at the scene.
Bill Guy, Reno County emergency management director, said the injured employee was at the base of the elevator when the explosion occurred.

Singers Adele, Perry return to Grammys
LOS ANGELES — The recording academy and Grammy producers have unveiled a flurry of Grammys performers this week, beginning Tuesday with a return to the stage for Adele and a Katy Perry announcement on Wednesday. Thursday, the curtain was pulled back on one of the telecast's rock 'n' roll acts: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, who are gearing up for a new tour.
Springsteen isn't nominated for any new works — "The Promise; The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story" is, however, in the running for best boxed or special limited edition package — and instead has a new album in "Wrecking Ball," due March 6, to promote. The upcoming tour with the E Street Band will be the act's first since the passing of his former band mate, the tenor saxophonist Clarence "Big Man" Clemons. While the performance wasn't announced as such, the Grammy telecast is typically loaded with high-concept medleys and pairing, and it wouldn't be out of the realm of the ordinary to expect Springsteen's appearance to include a tribute to his late collaborator.
Clemons, whose best-known work can be found on numerous
TELEVISION
IMCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Springsteen staples, including "Born to Run," "Jungleand" and "Rosalita," among others, died in June at a Palm Beach, Fla., hospital of complications from a massive stroke he suffered at his Florida home. While Clemons had worked with the likes of Jackson Browne, Ringo Starr; Aretha Franklin and Lady Gaga, among many others, he is most closely associated with Springsteen and E Street Band.
As previously announced, Springsteen will play a string of dates in the U.S. on his 2012 tour with the E Street Band ahead of previously announced shows in Europe, starting March 18 in Atlanta and stopping April 26 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2012
In the Los Angeles Times' appreciation of Clemons, Randy Lewis wrote "more than once, Clemons' solos were positioned at the end of a song, rather than stereotypically in the middle, Springsteen's tacit acknowledgment that having expressed himself in words, Clemons' job was to express the rest of the feeling that couldn't be contained in words."
Previously announced performers for the Grammy Awards include Jason Alderan, Kelly Clarkson, Glen Campbell with the Band Perry and Blake Shelton, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

Romney uses song without permission
sam
In a statement released Wednesday, Knaan says Romney's campaign did not seek approval to use the song and that he would not have granted permission if it had.
NEW YORK — The rapper K Naan is upset that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney used his song "Wavin' Flag" during his Florida primary victory speech, and is seeking legal action as a result.
The Somali-born, Canada-
based rapper says he would happily grant President Barack Obama's campaign the use of the song.
"Wavin' Flag" was an international hit for K'Naan in 2010. The song had several country-specific remixes, featuring artists from those territories. It was co-written and coproduced by Bruno Mars' production team, The Smeezingtons.

D.C. police arrest filmmaker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker was arrested at a House hearing Wednesday after trying to film the proceedings without the required media credentials.
Joshua Fox of Milanville, Pa., was led out of the room in hand-cuffs and charged by Capitol Police with unlawful entry.
He was released later by the Capitol Police with a misdemeanor citation for, in his words, "practicing journalism," the New York Times reported. He said he did not have to pay a fine or post bail. A court date was set for Feb. 15.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fox directed the anti-drilling documentary "Gasland," which was nominated last year for an Oscar. Fox also is an activist who has spoken out against hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which was the subject of the House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee hearing.
Oscar-nominated documentarian,
Joshua Fox, was arrested on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday.
Fracking takes place when large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are injected into wells to break up underground rock formations, allowing natural gas to escape.
The oil and gas industry has
criticized Fox and his film for what they say is a sensationalized attack on fracking.
Democrats forced two votes, one to allow Fox to film the hearing and a second to recess the hearing for a week so that Fox could obtain credentials. Both motions were defeated on a party-line vote.
Committee Republicans issued a statement saying that committee rules state, "Personnel providing coverage by the television and radio media shall be currently accredited to the Radio and Television Correspondents' Galleries."
"The individual removed was not accredited by the House Radio and TV Gallery and had refused to turn off his camera upon request by Capitol Police," the statement added.

The hearing was available for viewing on the committee's Internet site, which is routine practice for most congressional committees.
Super Bowl expected to hurt ticket sales for new movies
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Tom Brady and Eli Manning are expected to light up the scoreboard at the Super Bowl, but don't look for equally big numbers at the box office this weekend.
Three new movies will scramble for ticket sales as tens of millions of Americans will be tuning in Sunday to the biggest television event of the year. The found-footage teen adventure film "Chronicle" is expected to edge out the competition with about $15 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. Distributor 20th Century Fox, however, is predicting a far softer debut of about $8 million.
"The Woman in Black," a horror film starring "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, will probably lag behind with roughly $12 million. And "Big Miracle," an environmental drama about the plight of three California gray whales, is projected to gross a lackluster sum of $8 million to $10 million.
Super Bowl weekend is traditionally slow for the movie business. Last year, it was the fourthlowest grossing weekend of the year. Films that have fared well during the sports event have often
The horror film marks Radcliffe's first turn as a leading man
appealed to tween girls, such as "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" or "Dear John."
The production was financed by the British distribution company Momentum Pictures for $13 million, but CBS Films paid just $3 million to acquire the movie's North American distribution rights and is spending about $14 million to market it.
"The Woman in Black," meanwhile, is CBS Films' first release since last March, when it distributed "Beastly." The film, a modern take on "Beauty and the Beast," collected a modest $27.9 million at the box office. The studio's latest picture has so far earned the most positive reviews of any of the six pictures it has released since early 2010.
"Chronicle," about three teenage guys who learn they have superpowers, is aimed at young males. The movie, which features a largely unknown cast, has earned stronger reviews than other films debating this weekend. Fox spent about $12 million to produce the film, which has generated positive buzz on such social media websites as Twitter.
outside of the highly successful "Harry Potter" series, which concluded with its eighth installment in July. Now 22, the actor began playing the boy wizard at age 10, but only had time to appear in one non-"Potter" movie — the 2007 limited release "December Boys."
Last year, Radcliffe had a well-received run on Broadway in the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and in 2007 starred in the classic stage play "Equus," but it remains to be seen if he can attract more than just his young female fan base at the multiplex.
"Big Miracle," starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, is based on the real-life 1988 rescue of three whales trapped under the ice in Alaska. Universal Pictures spent about $40 million to produce the inspirational drama, which is aimed at women and children.
Despite respectable reviews, it does not appear that "Big Miracle" will follow in the footsteps of last year's "Dolphin Tale," That Warner Bros. film, also centering around a troubled sea creature, became a surprise hit and ultimately grossed $72 million.

Solving Afghanistan's opium controversy

"If the United States expects to leave any hope of stability when troops depart in 2014, leaders must recognize that the absence of insurgency does not ensure the creation of stability."

By Amanda Gress
agress@kansan.com
Although no reliable statistics on the number of debt children exist, the United Nations estimates Afghanistan produced 5,800 tons of opium in 2011—a 61 percent increase from 2010. This amounted to a $2.4 billion value—15 percent of Afghan GDP—and supplied 82 percent of global opium. Some sources
estimate over 90 percent of heroin worldwide originates in Afghanistan.
Illicit drugs directly threaten Afghan security. Trafficking generates revenue for militant networks that siphon off protection money and levy taxes. These groups bribe officials to turn a blind eye, fostering corruption. This strengthens non-state actors like the Taliban at the legitimate government's expense.
Unfortunately, few easy solutions remain. Simply destroying poppy crops harms farmers' economic interests, leaving the population vulnerable to exploitation and poisoning public opinion against the United States. Although the Obama administration ended the policy of
eradicating poppy crops in June 2009, leaders should try persuading the Afghan government to halt crop destruction as well.
Which policies might work? Underlying economic desperation can only be addressed through further investment. Current foreign aid to Afghanistan amounts to $80 per person, as compared to $275 per person given to Bosnia after its 1995 war. Development-focused policies that combat opium have shown success—for example, in 2009. British troops distributed wheat seed to 32 thousand farmers, and began creating irrigation infrastructure necessary for legal crops.
Opium remains a symptom of a state without adequate rule of law, stability, or alternatives. If the United States expects to leave any hope of stability when troops depart in 2014, leaders must recognize that the absence of insurgency does not ensure the creation of stability.
While many other challenges exist-corruption, extremist networks, and influential regional actors, to name a few—it
It's entirely possible that in this time of fiscal belt-tightening economic development will be ignored, or prove insufficient to end drug trafficking's stranglehold on Afghan society. Sustainable livelihoods for farming families won't eliminate the Taliban, and some areas may continue illegal production.
seems unlikely that Afghanistan can achieve stability without addressing illicit drugs.
However, investment in Afghanistan's economic future may alleviate some challenges the country faces and prevent future atrocities—and a country on the brink of failure can't afford to squander that chance.

FILM
'Drive' expresses compelling lesson
"Drive" has every aspect that I would attribute to a quality film: an awesome cast, a killer soundtrack, pleasing aesthetics and a story with the perfect mix of action and romance. Yet after hearing such wonderful things about this movie, the film leaves me yearning for more.
By John Dillingham
jdillingham@kansan.com
It has the classic movie era feel and true cinematography, which can be especially appreciated in a film like this. The vintage wonder and tension of authentic stunts and action modernly botched through CGI and what not, is offered by the film and gives the viewers something to truly appreciate.
Elaborating on the classic feel the movie radiates, it seems to follow in the trend of neo noir films that have been emerging in the past decade, like "Sin City" (2005) and the acclaimed "The Dark Knight" (2008); but "Drive" is different amongst its counterparts, because it gets to the core of classic noir, rather than being a recreation or adaptation.
It has the sleekness and swagger of a gangster movie, the edge of your seat moments desired from a great action movie, and the romance and complexity of a compelling drama.
Ryan Gosling stars as the unnamed main character usually referred to as the Driver. He has no identifiable connections to society from what the viewer can tell; yet this unnamed, un-relatable character somehow creates a connection with the audience.
The beginning of the movie, be forewarned, is extremely slow, but after viewing the film in its entirety, it is necessary to build the connections in the film. The Driver meets a girl named Irene who lives across the hall in his apartment building, and starts
creating ties with her and her son Benecio. The only catch is that Irene is married to an imprisoned man, Standard.
Inconveniently, just as The Driver and Irene start to get serious, Standard gets released from jail. After his release, he runs into some trouble and discovers the newly found compassion the Driver has developed for his family. This compassion transfers to Standard as well, and the Driver offers to aid Standard in his endeavors against the criminals that once consumed him. This is when the action really starts, but there is no need to divulge the entire story.
This movie left me hanging at first because I was irritated and confused. Why did everyone praise this movie? Am I missing something here?
But as I let the credits roll and the experience settle in, I got the same feeling that you get when you know you learned a lesson. The movie was not underachieving. "Drive" was trying to portray, like a classic noir film, the fact that not every hero is heavily rewarded, but the good deed in itself is reward enough.
If you are looking for a movie with wonderful acting, that is so visually pleasing when it's over the whole room will look dull, a true modern classic, "Drive" is definitely the film of choice.

A look at Lawrence's best places to eat for all budgets.
Just when you thought you made it through another holiday season, Valentine's Day rears its ugly head once again.Cue the cheesy pink hearts, boxes of chocolates, and commercially-fueled romanticism of this pseudo-holiday.
As you can probably assume, this is not my favorite day of the year, but I am not a complete cynic nor am I here to rant about the phoniness of it all. I'm here to talk about the most important part; the food.

Truthfully, I do appreciate what Valentine's Day usually encompasses: enjoying a nice meal with someone you care about.
Unfortunately, I can't help you find a person to enjoy said meal with, but I can

Encore is another great op-
give those of you who want to venture into couple-land for dinner that night some good recommendations for where to eat. I've compiled a list of some great restaurants around town for every budget.
We'll start with the least expensive; these restaurants average less than $10 per person for entrees.
First on the list is my favorite restaurant in all of Lawrence: Zen Zero. Their food is amazingly
"Unfortunately, I can't help you find a person to enjoy said meal with, but I can give those of you who want to venture into couple-land for dinner that night some good recommendations for where to eat."
American style food is good and won't break the bank.
On to the mid-price range level are restaurants that average between $10 and $20 per meal. For a classic Lawrence option, Free State puts out a consistently good meal with something on the menu for everyone.
For a bit of an upscale vibe, both Genovese and 715 offer tasty and different meals in a more romantic setting. Genovese is
Italian and 715 focuses on using local ingredients.
The next price range restaurants with meals for more than $20 per person.
For those of you who don't mind shelling out a bit more money and want something outside the ordinary, I highly recommend Wa; sushi is one of my favorite cuisines and makes for a very fun meal.
Tellers and Pacha Mamas also offer great, eclectic food and an elegant environment.
If you are planning on going out to eat on Valentine's Day, remember, it's probably the busiest night of the year for restaurants so make reservations well in advance.
There is an alternative to going out and I'm sure its more romantic than any restaurant could be: cook yourself! Nothing says "I love you" like a home-cooked meal thats had a lot of care put into it. Without a preset menu you can make the meal as nice or as casual as you want and often for much less money than a restaurant.
Whether you go out or stay in, whether you have a significant other or not, who cares? Just see Valentine's Day as I do; an excuse to eat a really delicious meal.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Going home to College Station, once again
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
AQunesia Franklin hit a fade away jumper from the ground with one second left to defeat Kansas her freshman year in 2005. She and Texas A&M went undefeated against Kansas in her four-year career.
Now, seven years later, Franklin is returning to College Station for a game and a reunion, but the two-time AP All-American Honorable Mention recipient is on a different sideline now. Franklin joined the Kansas coaching staff as an assistant in May and works primarily with the point guards.
The Javahawks will face defending national champion No. 18 Texas A&M on the road Saturday night. This isn't Franklin's first game against the Aggies since graduation and her year as a graduate assistant, but this is her first one back in Reed Arena. The Javahawks lost to the Aggies on Jan. 21, and it was an emotional game for Franklin.
"She hit a shot falling on her rear end - I am over it now though - but it was in the second half on the left baseline," said Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson. "She ended up with the ball, hit it and beat us, but I still hired her. I thought enough of her."
Texas A&M coach Gary Blair and a number of assistants and
other staff members, were familiar faces on the sideline from her years in the program.
"Seeing those guys, it was good, but there was a weird feel," Franklin said. "When the ball went up in the air I was totally fine, just ready to beat them."
After taking the Aggies to the Elite Eight her senior year, she returned as a graduate assistant. From there she coached the Houston Elite, an AAU team in Houston, before moving on to an assistant coaching job at Stephen F. Austin. She took the opportunity with some former teammates to attend every Texas A&M game on its way to its national championship last season.
When Franklin arrived at Texas A&M, the team was coming off a 9-19 season with a loss in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. But through her four years, they worked to a WNIT appearance, a Sweet Sixteen and then an Elite Eight her senior season.
"It was very emotional for me just because I know what the girls go through and where the program has come from," Franklin said.
Franklin is hoping to bring some of that success to the Jayhawks. She is quiet and hasn't scrimmaged with the team this year since she banged up her knee but keeps a watchful eye from under the basket. Each
day in practice she takes players to the side one-by-one and coaches them privately. She works mostly with the point guards junior Angel Goodrich and freshman Natalie Knight, but has built a relationship with each position. Her main objectives with these players are their timing and flow of the game.
"It is a pleasure to work with her and we really listen to everything she has to say, but she is not just our coach. We feel like we can talk to her about anything." Knight said.
Franklin prides herself on her connection with the athletes. They make up nicknames like "Aquafresh" and challenge her after practice and she plays along. She mocks them back, but it's all innocent fun. They take it as motivation and with these two players, their growth has shown this season. Goodrich is leading the nation in assists per game, and Knight has turned in a solid freshman campaign with increasing offensive production.
"She has helped me to be aggressive," Goodrich said. "She helps me be more confident and she helps me to take the little things off my mind, like if I miss a shot."
Franklin joins Henrickson, Chester Nichols and Tory Verdi. During her time with Texas A&M she played against Henrickson at Kansas and Verdi at Nebraska. She
was also recruited by Nichols when he coached at West Virginia.
Her connections run deeper as she drops the names of almost every Jayhawk from Texas with Carolyn Davis, Chelsea Gardner and Bunny Williams. She and Davis played for the same AAU team and then she recruited Gardner and Williams at SFA.
Franklin started playing basketball around the age of five when her mom gave her a hoop. She tried track, gymnastics, dance and volleyball, but she knew all along that she wanted to play basketball and she had the fortune of being pretty good at it. She convinced a YMCA coach to let her and a friend onto their all-boys team and she definitely earned her spot. From there she played high school, AAU, college, WNA and Euroball.
Three years out of the league, she is happy to be back on the sidelines, leading the layhawks and fighting for a win against her alma mater.
"Getting into coaching, I just wanted to give back and let young kids experience what I got to experience through my career and playing." Franklin said. "I love the game, I study the game and I really want to give back to those guys so that is why I got into coaching."

Olympic swimmers visit, motivate team before duel

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Members of the Kansas swimming and diving team gathered in Hadi Auditorium Jan. 29, and before them stood two five-time Olympic medalists, Ian Crocker and Josh Davis.
Sophomore diver Alyssa Golden flies through the air during the women's three-meter diving at Intrasquad meet on Sept. 30 at Robinson Natatorium. Golden won the event. KU's season began on Oct. 8 at Arizona.
The former U.S. Olympic swimmers spoke to the team, urging them to stay focused and be positive as they continue to prepare for the home stretch of the season.
The next step in that preparation comes Friday and Saturday when Kansas will compete in a non-traditional dual meet against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Kansas hopes to use Sunday's meeting as motivation.
"They talked a lot about good team chemistry and that's really what we want to see," coach Clark Campbell said. "We want to be a team that's really positive and supportive of one another and that will start this weekend."
Most events will be shortened, so much so that each session is scheduled for an hour each day. Instead of the standard 200-yard races, they will be 150 yards; instead of 400-yard relays, they will be 300 yards. The 200-yard relays will still be held. The format, designed and agreed upon by the two coaches, is the only one of its kind in the country.
Because races are shortened, times are not standardized, making it difficult to pace what exactly a good or bad time is. It's more or less a dead sprint in most events, and the swimmers tend to enjoy it.
"it's good that it's non-tradition- al," senior Kath Liggett said. "It's a
way of allowing people to have another racing opportunity without freaking out mentally so much."
Coaches from both schools formatted the meet to mimic the Big 12 Championships occurring later this month and have done it this way for many years.
Kansas divers junior Christy Cash and sophomore Alysza Golden will also use this final dual meet to prepare themselves for the major competitions at the end of the year.
"It's about being competitive and being fun and enjoying our last dual meet of the season," junior Rebecca Swank said.
Each of the coaching staffs has come to know the other well over the years, but diving coach Eric Elliot said both teams have the same goal.
They will dive a preliminary round on the first day and a final round on the next.

FOOTBALL
Border War coaches regret loss of rivalry
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
The biggest collateral damage caused by Missouri's decision to leave the Big 12 last fall is the end to the Border Showdown, the second-most played rivalry in college football.
While the rivalry on the field has seemingly ended, the memories will live on with two Kansas football coaches, special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach Clint Bowen and linebackers coach DeMontie Cross. Each laced up their cleats for the game, though they played for different sides.
"It's ridiculous, Kansas and Missouri go together, that's just the way it is." Bowen said. "We're in the same conference, we play each other once a year, and that's the way it is. Why they would go and leave is very unfortunate. I think it's very unfortunate. Its one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports and it should've found a way to stay together."
Bowen has Jayhawk blood running through his veins. His great-grandparents lived in Lawrence and his older brother Charley played for Kansas. His grandfather told him and his brother that they could play football anywhere they wanted
in the nation, except Missouri.
Bowen left Kansas his sophomore year because of personal differences with a coach, but he returned after playing a season at Butler Community College.
In his senior year, Kansas shut out Missouri 28-0 in the Border Showdown.
Cross comes from the other sideline. A St. Louis native, he played for the Tigers and started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for Missouri.
But now that he'll be roaming the home sideline of Memorial Stadium for the first time in his career on Saturdays next fall. Cross has traded in his allegiance.
"There's a lot of history and there's a lot of love there, but my loyalty is to Kansas and coach Weis," Cross said. "That's where it lies, that's where it starts and ends right now."
Bowen began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for Kansas. He remained with the Jayhawks until the 2009 season, moving up the ladder to defensive coordinator.
Even while he was coaching at North Texas last season, Bowen admitted that his sons' rooms were decorated with Jayhawks merchandise.
Cross felt the full effect of the hatred between the schools
after he accepted the job as the linebackers coach at Kansas. Friends and former players sent him texts that read "Benedict, traitor, [and] just some I care not to share," Cross said.
"But it was hilarious, again they follow me throughout my coaching career and to come to a rival school. It's hard for them to cheer for me. They'll support me all the way, but I think it's a lot harder for them than it is for me," Cross said.
The pain Cross's former teammates will feel cheering for him as he teaches the Kansas linebackers this fall will be lessened by the fact that Missouri will not be on his schedule.
But for someone like Bowen, who grew up with the rivalry, the feelings will remain the same, even without the teams directly competing against each other.
As each side of the rivalry points fingers at the other, Bowen knows where he places the blame.
"Missouri messes it up again. Does Missouri do anything right? Those are my thoughts," he said. "If it can go wrong, just count on Missouri to do it."

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks have had some big games this season. They played Kentucky in Madison Square Garden, Duke in the Maui Invitational and Ohio State at Allen Fieldhouse, and that excludes conference play. But this game, possibly the final contest between Kansas and Missouri at Mizzou Arena, may top them all. Missouri is off to the Southeastern Conference after this season and because of it, Kansas has threatened to end the rivalry altogether. While these two teams are still going at it, the hatred is intact.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
Withey has risen to the occasion in the greatest of stages this season. The Tigers, small but quick, simply don't have any player like Withey. Self will need him to play aggressively throughout the
Withey
game, limit his fouls and continue to hassle opponents that attack the basket. The Jayhawks need junior forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor to be at their best. If Withey does the same, coach Bill Self has an unmatchable weapon.
Can Kansas keep up with Missouri's speed?
QUESTION MARK
Like the Jayhawks, the Tigers like to run, run, run. Missouri coach Frank Haith often deploys four guards and one post player to wear out opponents. Off the rebound, Missouri does all it can to accelerate into the fast break. Self will likely combat this strategy by playing junior guard Travis Releford as more of a forward. Releford's combination of strength and speed could help contain Missouri's quickness. His defensive prowess may be one of the most important factors in this game.
"I want to get this W. I'm not letting anybody in that gym, stadium, state, anything stop me."

Taylor has been scorching hot in the conference season and Self has repeatedly called him one of the best guards in the nation. If Taylor wants to prove his place among the country's best, there's no better game to do it than Missouri. Taylor will be matched up against sophomore guard Phil Pressey, providing fans with one of the fastest and possibly most entertaining match-ups of the season.

Johnson
Releford
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
It's on Johnson to hit the big shot on the road if Taylor and Robinson have scoring droughts. Senior guard Conner Teahan has knocked down just 22 percent of his three-point shots in Kansas' past four road games. When Johnson struggles, it's because he thinks too much about his last shot attempt, rather than focusing on his next one. Self said that as a defender, Johnson was dialled in on Wednesday. The same kind of focus could make Johnson a focal point on Saturday.
Self has asked Releford to do it all this season: score, rebound and defend at three different positions. If the Jayhawks succeed tomorrow, it'll be partly because of Releford's consistency in multiple roles. He'll be tasked with shutting down Missouri's high-speed offense, then turning stops into offensive opportunities. Scoring will likely be at a premium, and while Releford may not be the guy logging two points, he'll be the guy starting the play.

It's games like these that will define Robinson's season. He could care less about 20 points and 17 rebounds against Oklahoma if his team can't leave Columbia, Mo. with a victory. Scouts and fans alike will monitor how Robinson manages two or three defenders flying at him at once. If he makes proper decisions, such as finding the open teammate and taking what the defense gives him, the Jayhawks will be in good shape.

Listed at 5-foot-10, Pressey is one of the quickest guards in the country. He leads Missouri's fast breaks and runs the offense in half-court sets. He leads the Big 12 in assists, with more than six per game and is a challenge for opponents to guard. He can score, too, notching double-digit points in six conference games, including an 18-point performance in Missouri's 84-73 victory against Texas on Jan. 14.
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
The older brother of Phil, Matt Pressey transferred to Missouri from Navarro Community College before last season. He's started every game for the Tigers but is sixth on the team in scoring with just 7.7 pointer per game. Pressey struggles to shoot the ball with consistency, coming into the game at 39.1 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from behind the three-point line.

★★☆☆☆
English is having a much better year than last season, when his offensive numbers saw considerable drop-offs across the board. His scoring is back to 14.1 points per game, like it was his sophomore season. He is consistently shooting more than 50 percent for the first time in his career. His three-point shooting is nearly 50 percent as well, and with more than 100 three-pointers taken, the number isn't a fluke.
MARCUS DENMON, GUARD
KIM ENGLISH, FORWARD
The tallest Tiger is 6-foot-9 senior center Steve Moore and he only averages 15.9 minutes played per game. Withey, a 7-footer, is the one player in this game who doesn't have a proper match-up. Self has always said that his best offense is inside-out, playing through his post players. He's not talking about Robinson only. Withey will have his touches inside and his steadily improving left hand makes him even more dangerous. Keep the shot blocking and altering coming, the offense will follow.
PETER D. ROBERTS
Denmon has been in the discussion for National Player of the Year for most of the season and is a near shoe-in for first team All-Big 12. He averages 17.2 points per game, good enough for fourth in the Big 12. He's had three 30-point games this season. Denmon is the biggest offensive weapon for Tiger coach Frank Haith, but he isn't immune to an off-night, finishing with six points in two Big 12 games.

MISSOURI TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
ESPN's College Gameday comes to Columbia, Mo., for the first time on Saturday, as No. 4 Missouri looks to remain unbeaten at home this season. The Tigers are 12-0 in Mizzou Arena and are looking for their first victory over Kansas since the 2008-2009 season. That 62-60 victory was cemented by a last-second shot by former Tiger guard Zaire Taylor. Missouri leads the Big 12 in a number of offensive categories, including scoring (81.2 points per game) margin (plus 17.4), and field goal percentage (49.8 percent). The Tigers are currently tied for second in the Big 12 at 7-2 and a victory over Kansas would give them a share of first place heading into the second half of the conference season. Saturday's contest may be the last Border Showdown in Mizzou Arena in the foreseeable future.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Kim English, guard
English
METROCHINA
As noted, English will have his hands full guarding Robinson in the post, Offensively, however, he will have the advantage if Kansas sticks with its normal
starting five and Robinson is forced to chase him around the perimeter. After a subpar junior season, English is having the best shooting season of his career. He's making 51.2 percent of his shots from the field after never shooting above 40 percent his first three seasons. He's also having success from the beyond the three-point line, entering Saturday's game at 49.5 percent, the best of his career as well. If English is making open shots early, it could force coach Bill Self to switch to a smaller lineup, effectively giving up one of his biggest advantages over Missouri.
What do the Tigers do defensively?
QUESTION MARK
Missouri plays a four guard lineup with Rattliffe as the only starting forward. Many people talk about Mizzou's inherent match problem for opponents with the small lineup, but the Kansas frontline of junior center Jeff Withey and junior forward Thomas Robinson will be no easy task for Missouri, either. English starts out of position, and it seems he will be tasked with guarding Robinson. English, listed at 6-foot-6, will almost certainly need help when Robinson receives the ball in the post. Mizzou will probably double-team when Robinson catches the ball, but English will need to deny him from getting good position near the basket, which would make a possible double-team useless. If Missouri can successfully double-team in the post on Robinson and Withey, they will severely hamper Kansas' ability to use its biggest advantage. If not, the Jayhawk big men could have huge nights.

But oddly enough, when Ray Bechard thinks of his time in Grinnell, the word overcrowded comes to mind.
Grinnell, Kan., is similar to several other western Kansas towns. It has a dwindling population and is an afterthought for many commuters passing by on Interstate 70, less than a mile south. Grinnell had a population of 259 in 2010 , down 21.3 percent in only 20 years.0

youngest, Armond, quarterbacked their high school football team. Don, Rich and Ray all attended Fort Hays State University, just a mile south of I-70 in central Kansas. And the following of footsteps did not end in Grinnell.
THE ACCIDENTAL VOLLEYBALL COACH
Don was the first brother to make the foray into coaching, leading the boy's basketball team at Norton High School in northern Kansas. His first game was against his uncle, Bill Bechard, who won a 2A state championship and now has a gym named after him at
Clifton- C l y d e High School. It didn't take Don long to show his trademark competitiveness and fiery temper.
"Don, to a fault sometimes, was just overly competitive," Ray said. "In the first high school game he ever coached, he got a technical foul."
If his competitiveness was his greatest fault, it was also his greatest asset. Don became the first high school coach in Kansas history to win state championships in volleyball (Manhattan, 1987) and boy's basketball (Gardner-Edgerton, 1996). He became a crucial resource for both Rich and Ray, who followed Don into coaching boy's basketball at the high school level.
One month before starting at Lewis High School, in south-central Kansas, the superintendent of schools called about a bind he was in with the school's volleyball coaching position. Ray initially rejected the offer, but the superintendent did not take no for an answer.
But it was an unexpected and mostly unwanted coaching position that would lead Ray to call on Don the most.
"He called back a week later and said, 'Guess what? You're going to be my volleyball coach next year,'" Ray said. "I think he's taken credit for everything that has happened since then."
With only a barebones understanding of the game of volleyball, the panicked Bechard sought advice from anyone who would
field his questions. He used his old connections from his own high school to better understand the sport. He picked the brain of the iconic Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit, with whom he has remained close friends. But Ray leaned on Don the most.
The Lewis volleyball team finished with a winning record that first season, and Ray was on his way to his dream position at Kansas. Be-tween those Jobs, Bechard le d Bar- t o n
Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1998, the same year he took over at Kansas.
Community College to a record of 716-60 in 13 seasons. His .923 winning percentage is the highest all-time among junior college coaches, and he was acted into the National Jollies Athletic Association
inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association
"When I got deeper into my career at Barton, there was no doubt that there was one job I hoped and praved I might have a chance to do at some point.
Don was diagnosed with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a soft tissue tumor that develops in fat cells most often among people aged 50 to 65, according to the Mayo Clinic. Don was 51 when he was diagnosed.
"Growing up, and maybe it was because of our age being so close, he was always the one I wanted to run like, shoot like and throw like. If I could be like Don, I knew I'd be pretty darn good." Rich said.
"He could do everything, and I think I maybe thought a little bit like that when I first heard he had cancer."
and that was the Kansas job," Bechard said. "It is just so gratifying to think that you're at least making part of Jayhawk nation proud by doing things a program has never done before."
As Don fought through chemotherapy in early 2008, the chance to see his Jayhawks play in the Final Four presented itself. Privately, Don told Rich he did not know how many Final Fours he had left. No matter how weary his siblings were of the idea, Don was
adamant about not missing the opportunity to see his nephew Brennan, a senior walk-on with Kansas, and the team of his youth win its fifth national championship first-hand.
Unfortunately, a rare disease would soon rob Ray of his most trusted confidant.
"I've now lived longer than he has, and that is hard for me to understand."
And so Don tagged along with his brothers on the nearly 800 mile journey to San Antonio. He slept in a makeshift bed in the back of a Chevy Suburban, throwing up at virtually every rest stop. He spent the Jayhawks' off day on April 6 in a San Antonio hospital with leg swelling. But he was back in the Alamodome less than 24 hours later for the title game against Memphis. When Mario Chalmers made his miracle 3-pointer with only 2.1 seconds left in regulation, Don even jumped several feet in the air.
"I thought the whole time it was a mistake," Rich said. "But now looking back on it, it is one of my most cherished memories. I'm so glad we ended up going."
If there was anyone that could defeat a rare form of cancer, it was Don Beachard. His brother Rich was sure of it.
COACHES VS. CANCER
RAY BECHARD Kansas volleyball coach
Even as his health failed him, Don readied to coach the 2008-09 boy's basketball team at Gardner-Edgerton High School in eastern Kansas. However, just before the season began, his health took a turn for the
worse. He was admitted to a Kansas City, Mo., hospice care center where he was inducted into the Gardner-Edgerton Hall of Fame in an impromptu and emotional surprise ceremony at the facility's outdoor greeting area.
"He would've been in it eventually if he was in good health, but we sped up the process," said Tim Brady, principal at Gardner-Edgerton and family friend of the Bechards.
Don died at 9 a.m. on Sept. 5, 2008, a game day for the Kansas volleyball team. Ray didn't tell any of his players or anyone on his staff and struggled internally with whether or not he should coach. A call from Don's wife, Jan, put Ray's mind at ease and gave him the strength to coach the game only three hours after Don died.

"I can't really think about it too much without getting emotional," Ray said. "I've now lived longer than he has, and that is hard for me to understand. He's missed out on so much in life."
Pressing through personal loss is one of the many sacrifices some coaches must make, and it is one of the reasons Ray is somewhat wary of his son Brennan getting into the profession.

closer together than ever,
literally.
Ray also thinks his son would be sharp at coaching, which Brennan has hopes of doing some day. Ray has jokingly warned his son about getting into the profession, but both understand the sacrifices that coaches must make in their personal lives to be successful. After all, they have both witnessed it firsthand. Ray has missed the last 30 Thanksgivings and was unable to attend several important moments in his children's lives.
Working as the assistant director of men's basketball operations for Kansas coach Bill Self, Brennan works about 20 feet from his father's office at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center near Allen Fieldhouse. He is responsible for editing video of opposing teams for scouting sessions. It is a role that Ray thinks fits his son well.
"I expect to have long days and miss a lot of stuff. That just comes with the territory," Brennan said. "There are so many upsides that it kind of outweighs all of that."
"He's pretty sharp with the electronic age and he likes that kind of thing," Ray said. "Obviously he's getting an in-depth view of what it is like at the highest level by working with the best coaching staff in America every single day."
A picture of the Kansas volleyball team's come-from-behind victory against Baylor during the 2003 season hangs in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks rallied from a 14-10 deficit in the final set, scoring the last six points to seize the victory. Behind the celebrating bench in the photo is a shot of nearly a dozen members of the Bechard family, all throwing their arms in the air in jubilation.
It is a constant reminder to Ray Bechard that while coaching takes personal sacrifices, it may have brought his family closer together than it ever would have been without it.

THE MORNING BREW A riot, a rivalry, a legend and a game
UNDERSTANDING RIVALRIES
Sometimes, your favorite sports team is more than a hobby or something you supposedly bleed.
By Max Rothman
mrothman@kansan.com
In Egypt, a place presently without rule or regulation, at least 73 people died in a riot on Wednesday that started during a soccer match between rivals El Masry and Al Ahly. The match took place in Port Said, a city fewer than 150 miles northeast of Cairo, where citizens still rage in the aftermath.
Military officials have run the nation's makeshift government since President Hosni Mubarak's removal about one year ago. They are receiving the most blame for the riot, with lawmakers claiming that there's no security presence in a time that requires leadership and order.
In Columbia, Mo., tomorrow night, rivals Kansas and Missouri will play what could be their final duel at Mizzou Arena. Fans of both sides speak of hatred for the other. They shout obscenities and even reference slavery positions from the Civil War. There's no downplaying such a
supreme rivalry.
Port Said's developments simply provide us with perspective. Be thankful that in our country, there's order and justice. No matter what happens to this rivalry, be thankful it's settled on hardwood, not impromptu battlefields.
REMEMBERING DUNDEE
Behind the fast-talking jive of Muhammad Ali, there was always his trainer, Angelo Dundee, the Italian from Philly who pretty much founded the archetype.
Dundee, 90, passed away on Wednesday in Clearwater, Fla.
"There'll never be another Muhammad Ali," he once said in his later years.
For all the fame that trails boxing heroes, rarely is a corner man even acknowledged. Yet Dundee, who also trained Sugar Ray Leonard, was always considered one of the best around. He always knew where to tell his beasts to punch next. His words sparked flames in fighters, yet also properly advised.
Now he rests in the pantheon of boxing legends, though he never wore gloves under the lights.
THINKING ABOUT SUINDAY
Sitting here and thinking about the Patriots, my favorite football team (throw the tomatoes now), I can't help but notice the similarities between this Sunday's game and the Super Bowl in 2007.
KU
The Patriots aren't undefeated this season like they were in 2007. They lost to the Giants 24-20 on their home turf in November. But at this time of the year, the same months that the Patriots dominated in the first half of the decade, they seem just about unstoppable. They were a deflected pass away
from losing to the Ravens in the AFC Championship game. Yet still they seem unbeatable.
In 2007, like this season, the Giants were a fringe playoff team that got hot and charged into the Super Bowl. One David Tyree catch and eventual ceaseless nightmare later, the Giants won it all, ending New England's dream season.
Tom Brady, no matter how accurate he throws his passes or how perfect he seems to be, can be tainted. Fast.
I think the Patriots will win on Sunday in a close one, but I don't think it will look so perfect. And if they don't win? I won't be surprised. I've seen perfection spoiled before.

THE GRADING SCALE:
REPORT CARD BEFORE A ROAD TEST AT KANSAN.COM
Laugh last, and loudest
NO TEARS
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The only other time that comes close in comparison to the high-ranked teams today was Jan. 20, 1990. Kansas held the No. 1 ranking in the country, Missouri No. 4. The Tigers came out on top that day with a 95-87 victory.
Saturday will be the first time both teams are in the Top 10 since that game, and to be honest I don't think that's what is at the forefront of either teams' minds.
Then on Feb. 13, The Tigers came into Allen Fieldhouse for the only No. 1 vs. No. 2 match in series history. Mizzou won the game 77-71, knocking Kansas out of the No. 1 spot once again.
For me it's really a mixed bag of emotions going into the final installment of the Border Showdown in Columbia, Mo., on Saturday when No. 8 Kansas faces off against No. 4 Missouri. It's sad to see one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball being broken up with verbal hostility via the Internet and ego over conference realignment
Anger has always been a part of the rivalry,but the last two games will have an animosity never seen before.
Missouri wants to cap off one of their biggest sports weeks in recent Show-Me State memory that began when the football team inked Dorial Green-Beckham, the wide receiver from Hillcrest High of Springfield Mo., and No.1 football recruit according to rivals, com on signing day.
OK maybe more than icing. Maybe icing, sprinkles, hot fudge, and couple big scoops of Blue Bell ice cream.
At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Green-Bekham is a mix of Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss and will make a major impact on the Tigers when they move to SEC next year.
So now Missouri is looking for a little icing on the cake.
Since the Tigers trail the overall series to the Jayhawks 94-171, this is their last shot at gaining bragging rights.
They don't care about the rankings. They don't care about the music videos on Youtube. They care about a win over the archrival.
I've heard some grumblings from Kansas' fans and students alike this week that this game doesn't matter because we've got the all-time lead.
That's a fair point, but there's no better way for Kansas to stick it to the Tigers than leaving a sour taste in their mouth that they might never be able to relieve themselves of. What the Jayhawk fan base (and even the players) care about more than anything is getting that final victory in Columbia.
- Edited by Amanda Gage
Mizzou Arena will be rocking and they've got plenty of incentive to be. ESPN's College Gameday will finally grace their presence for the national attention they've seen go to Kansas for so long.
It's an enormous game for Missouri and their faithful, but it's a big game for Kansas too.

Your Jayhawks calendar was printed for tomorrow's date.
Kansas at Missouri. It's a rivalry that started in 1907 and has brewed hatred ever since. Now, with the Tigers off to the Southeastern Conference, this game holds another meaning. It may be the final Border Showdown played in Columbia, Mo.
No tears, hugs or kisses required. Junior forward Thomas Robinson only wants one thing.
"I want to get this W," he said. "I'm not letting anybody in that gym, stadium, state, anything stop me."
Tip-off between the No.8 Kansas Jayhawks and the No.4 Missouri Tigers is set for 8 p.m. tomorrow as ESPN's College Gameday makes its first trip to Mizzou Arena in Columbia.
"This is why we came to Kansas," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "To play in games like this."
Forget about the rivalry and you've still got two of the best teams in the country going head-to-head.
Coach Frank Haith usually deploys a rotation of four guards and one forward, opting for speed and chaos over size and strength. This atypical rotation has confounded opposing teams, but the Jayhawks said they feel prepared, especially with junior guard Travis Releford and his ability to defend multiple positions.
"We see them having to match up with us, instead of us having to match up with them," junior center Jeff Withey said.
The Tigers prefer to operate in the fast break, using the speed of their guards to beat transition defenses down the floor. This creates space for versatile playmakers such as senior guard Kim English, who Self said is one of Missouri's greatest strengths when playing as a forward."They're so good at making the extra pass and they're very unselfish," Self said.
More than Pressey, Taylor and the team must deal with the weight of a rivalry that may be nearing its end."The rivalry goes way back before we even know," Taylor said. "We take on that role of not really liking those guys."
For all the skills of English, the savvy of junior guard Michael Dixon, the scoring acumen of senior guard Marcus Denmon and the power of senior forward Ricardo Ratliffe, Self knows that the fastest Tiger is the one he's got to keep an eye on.
"Little Phil Pressey is still the guy that drives the bus," he said of the sophomore guard. "He makes plays with his speed that's very hard to coach."
Taylor will be tasked with staying in front of Pressey, who often gets post players into foul trouble with his ability to get to the basket and improvise for himself and teammates.
"There's nothing more fun, in my opinion," Self said, "than beating Missouri."
Obscenities will fly through the air. Students clad in black and gold will boom with noise. Two teams, both fast, athletic, and hungry for a Big 12 title, will dance in Columbia one last time.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Jayhawks get first shot at redemption in Texas
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
As the page turns into the second half of the conference season, the women's basketball team looks to grab its first shot of redeeming a loss on its schedule.
That first chance comes on Saturday in College Station, Texas, when the Javahawks take on No. 18 Texas A&M at 7 p.m.
Kansas hopes this is not only another shot at the defending national champions, but also a chance to snap a two-game losing skid.
"We feel like we really need to win this one," freshman guard Natalie Knight said. "We can't go down 0-3 in the last three games. We're definitely going to come out and play hard."
Knight remembers from the first matchup with the Aggies that they pressed her throughout the game and made it difficult for her to get into rhythm.
"Because of their pressure, we were a little more hesitant on offense. We just need to continue to look into the post because that's what we do best." Knight said.
"It's bad we lost this first game at home, but it's always good to redeem yourself," junior forward Carolyn Davis said. "I'm glad we have a chance to go there and play them. It'll be emotional game, but I think it'll be good if we get this win."
In their first matchup on Jan. 21 at Allen Fieldhouse, the Aggies beat the Jayhawks 76-65.
When thinking back to that game, the Kansas players could think of the two factors that contributed to the defeat, 23 turnovers and physical pressure on the perimeter.
"They're good enough to speed you up, but we spread ourselves I thought and threw things that were uncharacteristic," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
For Kansas to avoid this, it needs to establish the tempo early on against Texas A&M so they don't feel rushed like the previous matchup.
Davis was limited by the Aggies frontcourt in the first matchup, only accumulating 10 points and four rebounds, well below her season average of 18.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
"I need to try to work for position earlier," Davis said. "They front in the post so it's kind of tough to get a lob over somebody who's the same height as you and they have awesome help defense."
Kansas also hopes that senior forward Aishah Sutherland can get back to playing at the aggressive level she did against Oklahoma State and Missouri earlier this year. Since those games, she's struggled to play consistently.
Other areas up for improvement include Kansas' baseline defense. In the last game against Texas A&M, the Jayhawks allowed 15 layups.
For this game, Davis understands what needs to be corrected
However, the coaching staff isn't worried about getting Sutherland back on that level.
"Her and I talked to today and she knew it," Henrickson said. "The good thing is she can control that."

"States also need to do their part by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets."

Graduate revitalizes Keno's

Papa keno's has had a rough couple of years, but the man who resuscitated Jefferson's wants to turn the pizzeria's reputation around.
Brandon Graham, the new owner and a 2002 KU graduate, has experience reviving a flailing Lawrence favorite. He bought Jefferson's last April after the owner failed to pay close to $47,000 in taxes.
In 2008, the restaurant closed for a month while former owner Greg Keenan worked to settle a $170,000 tax debt with the state. Then last year, 25 employees filed complaints with the Kansas Department of Labor saying they had not received payment.
Graham, who also owns several Mr. Goodcents locations in Kansas, purchased Papa Keno's two weeks ago. Keenan still owns the Overland Park location.
"What we look for are local
Growing up in Lawrence, Graham and his business partners have fond memories of Papa Keno's, as well as Jefferson's.
Starting this week, Graham is updating the restaurant's interior and equipment, but the menu will stay the same. Graham said he isn't worried about the business, despite the pizzeria's bad publicity in recent years.
favorites that have a lot of potential and that have a solid foundation, but just need some help reaching their full potential" Graham said.
"Local institutions with lots of history have a nostalgic pull for us," Graham said.
"I think that we will capitalize on the fact that there is new ownership and that we do things a little bit different," he said. "I think that's going to play for us positively."
The bad memories of Papa Keno's haven't faded for everybody, especially Lorus Byers, one of the former employees who filed a claim against Keenan. He
"Hopefully the new management can change the structure of the business, and the way employees are treated," Byers said.
withdrew his claim when Keenan accused him of faking time cards because the amount of money he was owed wasn't worth fighting over, Byers told The Kansan for a story on the owner last year in April.
Byers said that although people liked the food, he thought Keenan's methods made it morally difficult for the community to support the restaurant.
Matt Snively, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., said he has always been a fan of the restaurant's massive slices of pizza and wasn't aware of the scandals surrounding the restaurant.
"I wasn't aware of the restaurant having any issues, but the pizza is good," Snively said. "It won't stop me from eating there in the future."

numerous times, causing her to lose consciousness.
Trevor Benedict, 19, and his defense asked District Judge Sally Pokorny for a case dismissal during a preliminary trial after Benedict's 17-year-old former girlfriend, the victim in the case, testified on Benedict's behalf because the numerous choking acts were consensual.

Pokorny denied their request, and said the victim could have died during the 30 or 40 times the choking occurred throughout the relationship, in which the couple also cut each other with razor blades.
The girl told the judge she did not believe Benedict should be criminally responsible for what occurred, and they developed a tap-out system to ensure she would not be harmed while he choked her.
Douglas County Detective Jay Armbrister testified on Wednesday that hand-written documents found in Benedict's backpack between Benedict and his former girlfriend showed there were times she wanted him to stop choking her, but he didn't.
Benedict faces additional charges in a juvenile case because the prosecution contends he was not 18 when some of the incidents occurred.
A trial date has not been set.

Brownback promises aviation industry jobs
A week after Boeing announced its decision to shut down its sprawling plant in Wichita, Gov. Sam Brownback was stuck doing damage control.
He called the closing a "setback" in his State of the State address on Jan. 11, promising new aviation jobs and economic growth.
To emphasize his point, Brownback mentioned his visit to Wichita the day before to help unveil Bombardier Learjet expansion there.
"And we aren't done yet," he said during his address. "There will be more."
The message was clear: Kansas' aviation industry would bounce back. Though Boeing's departure is a symbolic blow to the state — and
But to create long-term growth in the aviation industry and bring jobs back to Kansas, the state will have to do a better job attracting new business, said Bob Brewer, Midwest director for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.

Dancing for the kids

KELSEY CIPOLLA

Students dance along to live music by Down With Gravity during the KU Dance Marathon 2012 Saturday afternoon in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. Money raised went to local families through the network.
Last Saturday, 310 students stayed on their feet for 12 straight hours. Their purpose was printed on their t-shirts and wristbands and yelled within the Kansas Union ballroom- "for the kids."
The students were gathered for Dance Marathon, a program under Children's Miracle Network that provides financial and emotional support for children and families at local hospitals. All proceeds from KU Dance Marathon go to KU Pediatrics. This year KU Dance Marathon raised $60,040.70, twice the amount of last year's total. Since the start of KU Dance Marathon in 2007, participants have raised $152,000.
Hilary Ferguson, a senior from Lawrence, has been involved with KUDM since her freshman year. She said the event's success stems from people being so supportive of the cause.
"Why wouldn't you want to raise money for kids?" Ferguson asked.
"I love seeing these kids and being able to help them," said Shelby Spjuth, a freshman from Chicago. Spjuth, who is studying to be a special education teacher, said that helping children overcome adversity is important to her.
From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., participants played games, ate food and, of course, danced. But the most rewarding part of the day for many students was meeting the kids their money and effort benefit.
Kirby Knipp, a freshman from Olathe said watching the kids run gave him goosebumps.
"I actually didn't know that we were going to actually meet the kids," Knipp said. "It's a really fun way to support, instead of just donating money online."
Knipp was participating for the first time, but other students were veterans of the dance marathon, such as Matt Araiza, a senior from Plano, Tex. Araiza has participated for three years and said the marathon is a good way to bond with his fraternity brothers while doing something worthwhile for children.
The children were introduced at the beginning of the event and ran with Big Jay through a tunnel of supporters.
But there was also a competitive
Students showed their dedication last week by standing during classes on Wednesday to spread the word about the marathon and the cause it supports, said Megan Watson, the KUDM executive director and junior from Overland Park
factor. KUDM participants group themselves into teams to raise more money and get their friends involved.
"With Dance Marathon, the premise is that we stand for 12 hours for the kids that can't, with the intent that hopefully someday, these miracle kids will be able to stand with us," Watson said.
"We kind of want our team to be the most energetic, so that's what we aim for every year," Araiza said.

Chavez celebrates anniversary
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez celebrated the 20th anniversary of the failed coup attempt that launched his political career on Saturday, presiding over a military parade while fighter jets and helicopters roared overhead.
Chavez used the occasion to reiterate to Venezuelans that the military is firmly behind him as he runs for re-election in October.
"From now on we will have generals, admirals, officers and troops (who are) revolutionaries, anti-imperialists, socialists and Chavistas, so that it hurts the bourgeoisie and imperialism all the more," the president said at the televised parade. "The armed force is Chavista."
Chavez's adversaries have condemned the increasingly politicized military leadership as the president has recently promoted outspoken
loyalists to top posts. Chavez, who survived a 2002 coup that briefly ousted him, has since sought to ensure the military is solidly behind him.
The government has held celebrations on the date since Chavez took office in 1999. Opponents have criticized the festivities while noting that dozens were killed in the coup attempt.
"How can a failed coup that was unjustified, violent and bloody ... be celebrated?" asked Carlos Vecchio, an opposition politician.
Chavez said the military coup attempt of 1992 was a rebellion against political leaders who were "subordinated to U.S. imperialism."
He said the sort of generals who were in charge two decades ago "will never again exist in Venezuela."

Kenya continues to fight hunger
NAIROBI, Kenya The United Nations said Friday that Somalia's famine is over, but the world body's Food and Agricultural Organization warned that continued assistance is needed to stop the region from slipping back.
The world body moved the crisis from the top step of a five-point scale — based on the death rate — to the fourth step, formally reducing it from a "famine" to a "humanitarian emergency".
However, the U.N. said that 2.3 million people remain in a food crisis situation in Somalia and still need assistance. That represents 31 percent of the country's population. Across the Horn of Africa region the total is 9.5 million who need help.
The international body declared famine in Somalia last July after successive failed rains. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled to refugee camps in Kenya, Ethiopia and the Somali capital Mogadishu in search of food.
Car bomb kills seven, wounds 21

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan A car bomb exploded just outside the police headquarters of a southern Afghanistan city on Sunday, killing at least seven people, officials said.
The blast went off at a parking lot outside the police building in Kandahar, said Faisal Ahmad, a spokesman for the provincial government. Five police officers and two civilians were killed, and least 21 people were wounded, he added.
The blast was large enough that wwbuildings. It appeared
the bomb was in a parked vehicle and was remotely detonated, said Zalmai Ayubi, another government spokesman.
NATO forces helped secure the area as Afghan police carried the wounded to ambulances and loaded the bodies of the dead into the back of a pickup truck. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Although the international military coalition in Afghanistan has poured resources into Kandahar city and its vicinity in recent years as
part of a push to take back insurgent strongholds, the area has remained dangerous and there have been repeated attacks against government installations.
The U.N. reported on Saturday that 2011 was the deadliest on record for civilians in the Afghan war, with 3,021 killed as insurgents ratcheted up violence with suicide attacks and roadside bombs. Civilian deaths from military or other pro-government forces decreased slightly.
OCCUPY MOVEMENT
Chicago college brings Occupy into classroom
CHICAGO — A Chicago college is offering a class on the Occupy movement.
Thirty-two undergraduate students are enrolled at Roosevelt University's "Occupy Everywhere" class. It's a three-credit political science course that looks at the movement that started last summer near New York City's Wall Street and spread nationwide.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports students' assignments include reading the movement's newspaper and attending Occupy Chicago's general assembly meetings held near Roosevelt's downtown campus.
Professor Jeff Edwards studies social movements. He says the Occupy movement has been unfolding before students and the class is a good opportunity for them. He says they are reading a range of analysis on the movement concerned with corporate greed and the division of wealth.
Leaders from the Chicago movement may present guest lectures.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Romney gains momentum after taking Nevada caucus
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Now it's on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine.
With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandoning his White House bid — all but ensuring the battle will stretch into the spring if not beyond.
Shortly after losing big to Romney here, the former House speaker emphatically renewed his vow to campaign into the party convention in Tampa this summer. His goal, he said, was to "find a series of victories which by the end of the Texas primary will leave us at parity" with Romney by early April.
Gingrich continued to shrug off Nevada's caucus results in an appearance on Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press."
"This is the state he won last time, and he won it this time," he said of Romney. "Our goal is to get to Super Tuesday where we're in much more favorable territory."
Santorum won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and has trailed in the contests since then. He nonetheless insisted on Sunday that "our numbers are moving up continually."
But first, Gingrich must make it
through Colorado and Minnesota,
which both hold caucuses Tuesday.
The former Massachusetts governor held a double-digit lead Sunday morning over his nearest pursuer as the totals mounted in Nevada, where fellow Mormons accounted for roughly a quarter of all caucus-goers. Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul vied for a distant second. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum trailed the field.
Maine follows on Saturday during a month that promises to be as pladding as January was rapid-fire in the presidential race. Romney will look to maintain his position of strength, if not build upon it, as his rivals continue working to derail him even as their options for doing so narrow with each victory he notches.
And on ABC's "This Week," Paul maintained the results show voters are still up for grabs.
"I think we're going to show improvement. This race is a long long way from being over," Santorum said on Fox News Sunday.
"I get energized because I know there's a large number of people who are looking for another
option," Paul said.
With votes from 71 percent of the precinct caucuses tallied, Romney had 48 percent, Gingrich 23 percent, Paul 19 percent and Santorum 11 percent. Turnout was down significantly from 2008, when Romney also won the state's GOP caucuses.
Romney's victory capped a week that began with his double-digit win in the Florida primary. That contest was as intense as Nevada's caucuses were sedate — so quiet that they produced little television advertising, no candidate debates and only a modest investment of time by the contenders.
A total of 28 Republican National Convention delegates were at stake in caucuses held across the sprawling state. Romney won at least 10, Gingrich at least four, Paul at least three and Santorum at least two. Eight were still to be determined.
That gives Romney a total of 97, including endorsements from Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the convention and can support any candidate they choose. Gingrich has 30, Santorum 16 and Paul seven. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

"People here took themselves extremely seriously once they were in the public eye" Telegdy, NBC Entertainment president of alternative and late night programming, said in a recent interview. Telegdy, who then was an executive with the BBC, arrived in L.A. in 2004 to start a production firm to make "Dancing With the Stars" for ABC. Initially, celebrities they approached wouldn't even return their calls.

"It was like, 'Guys, just come and play.' Telegdy said.
LOS ANGELES — When Paul Telegdy moved to Los Angeles, he was struck by the contrast between U.S. celebrities and those from his native Britain.
Telegdy wanted to bring that playful sensibility to the singing competition "The Voice," NBC's only solid hit last year. The beleaguered network rolls out the second season of the
series (which features celebrity coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine) Sunday in the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot.

Contract issues stop Black Sabbath tour
McClatchy Tribune
LOS ANGELES — Iconic metal band Black Sabbath could be facing another hitch in its plans to reemerge with a new tour and forthcoming album this year due to drummer Bill Ward's unhappiness with the touring and recording contact he was offered. Ward released a public statement Thursday saying that the proposed agreement was "unsigned" and would cause him to lose his "rights, dignity and respectability as a rock musician."
NBC hopes to boost ratings with musical
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — NBC is banking on a musical about a tragic icon for a reversal of its own misfortunes.
"Smash" is a passion project for NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt, who took the top programming job at the network a little over a year ago. A lifelong theater afficionado, Greenblatt even took a breather from his then job as head of programming for Showtime in 2009 to put on a musical version of the movie "9 to 5" on Broadway.
That level of talent and production hasn't come cheaply. The pilot for "Smash" cost more than $7 million to make, and subsequent episodes are running close to $4 million apiece, according to people with knowledge of the show who did not want to speak publicly on the subject.
Before Marilyn can find her way to the Great White Way, "Smash" has to open big on NBC.
"I didn't have time to make 'Smash' when I was at Showtime, so when I came to NBC, it's one of the first things I picked up," Greenblatt said last month at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena. "We are doing something very ambitious here, not only producing a musical every week but one that has original songs in addition to covers of well-known hits."
"Smasch" has an all-star lineup in front of and behind the camera. It stars Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee and was created by playwright Theresa Rebeck. Producers include Steven Spielberg, Tony Award-winning composer Marc Shaiman, and Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, producers of the Oscar-winning "Chicago."
In its biggest gamble since betting on Jay Leno in prime time, NBC on Monday will debut "Smash," an ambitious drama about turning Marilyn Monroe's life into a Broadway musical with soaring song and dance numbers.
That's no small task. The majority of NBC's new shows this season have flopped, including "The Playboy Club," "Prime Suspect" and, most recently, its version of the hit movie "The Firm." Take NBC's Sunday football out of the equation and its prime-time audience is about 5.7 million viewers, down 11 percent from last season, according to Nielsen.
"It's not pretty." Ethan Heftman, a senior vice president with Initiative, an advertising firm whose clients include Dr Pepper, said of NBC's performance over the last few years.
Ratings have gotten so low that a quick scan of a Nielsen chart reveals that outside of football, NBC has one show — "Harry's Law" — in the top-50 most-watched programs this season. Among adults in the 18-49 demographic coveted by advertisers, only two shows — "The Office" and "Fear Factor" —
crack the top 50.
"People keep saying the only place we have to go is up, which I do believe is true, but there's a lot of work to do before we get there," Greenblatt recently told reporters.

"We are doing something very ambitious here, not only producing a musical every week but one that has original songs in addition to covers of well-known hits."
"If you are promoting yourself on your own network and few are watching, it is challenging," said Maureen Bosetti, an executive vice president at Optimedia, a firm that buys advertising for T-Mobile and Pizza Hut.
That's why NBC has launched a huge promotional campaign to hype "Smash" that goes far beyond plugs on the network, although there has certainly been no shortage of those during its lead-up coverage to Sunday's Super Bowl. In some big cities, it is hard to go a block without seeing an ad for "Smash."
BOB GREENBLATT
NBC Entertainment chairman
Compounding the problem are the networks' ongoing ratings woes. With a relatively low
viewership, it may be difficult to lure in viewers to sample the show.
The NBC show will have to draw an audience far bigger on broadcast than required in the niche world of cable, where even a viewership of several million can be considered a rousing success.
"Smash," which will occupy the 10 p.m. slot, has good buzz from critics. While critical acclaim certainly helps, kind words are far from a guarantee of strong ratings, particularly for a show that was conceived with a cable sensibility.
"We've had the best care you could ever dream of having from a network," said Zadan.
There has been speculation in industry circles that the marketing campaign has topped $20 mil.
lion, but Len Fogge, NBC's marketing chief, put the cost at less than $10 million.
NBC'sneed for a smash isn't lost on the show's producers.
"You can't help but acknowledge that the network is looking to resurrect itself, and there is an enormous amount of pressure to deliver a good show every week," said Meron.
"Musicals have always been the bastard genre," Meron said, but he added that Fox's "Glee" has opened the door and shown they can work.
No one can quibble with the production values behind "Smash," but how will she show about the theater world play in Peoria?
Initiative's Helfman agrees: "Everybody's been in a school play at one point in their lives. It is absolutely a relatable concept."

Rain boots: the Uggs of precipitation
In the 16th century, King Henry VIII sought to divorce his wife and marry another woman. Although the majority of the English nobility and hierarchy accepted the validity of his new marriage, not all did. The classic movie, "A Man for All Seasons" depicts the trial of conscience of Thomas More, who refused to agree to the divorce, remarriage, and power of the king over the conscience of his subjects.

It has to do with a startlingly subversive action against First Amendment rights taken by our very own Department of Health and Human Services. On January 20th, Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released a directive, countermanding the provisional conscience clause regarding exemption to individuals and institutions who are morally opposed to the use of contraceptives and abortificants under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare).
the Church is the intellectual and cultural repository for western civilization. Effectively, the Obama administration is sawing the branch on which we all sit.
In other words, we now live in a country where Mother Theresa of Calcutta and Francis of Assissi could be thrown in jail for not providing the morning-after pill. If this weren't the United States of America, that might be the slightest bit totalitarian.
It's impossible for me to briefly say what, to a believing Catholic, contraceptives and abortifacients effect. It is tantamount to obstructing and destroying creation itself, analogous to forcing beef on a Hindu or conscripting the Amish for war.
This matter doesn't just affect those in the medical field. At the
very least, it obliges the rest of us to pay, in taxes, for practices which not only violate our sensibilities, but our very consciences.
Those of you who read the New York Times already know that Catholics would like nothing better than to oppress the state because we're genetically incapable of understanding religious freedom any other way. My hope is the rest of you will have a more enlightened (less 18th century) view of us.
As a Catholic, it is an action that is particularly disconcerting for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the cavalier nature of this persecution and silence of our vaunted media watchdogs.
This Machiavellian reneging would not only affect my fellow co-religionists and myself, but many Protestants, Jews, Muslims, and anyone else who objects to these measures. It renders people of faith as second-class citizens. This measure ignores the contributions people of faith have made to the welfare of this country, and humanity at large. It is like a body making war against its heart.
Besides being the oldest active pro-bono health care provider on the continent, nay, in the world,
Surely even those who profess no creed can understand that it is, at the very least, a deep psychological torture on someone when you compel them to violate the dictates of conscience.
It's my hope that religious freedom and tolerance will be in vogue once again. Until then, I'll just try to keep my head on.
Breakups don't have to end a friendship
Daniel Obermeier is a junior in history from Olathe.
RELATIONSHIPS
W whether you dated him or it was just a fling, you broke up, whether you liked it or not.
And it seems like most breakups go the same way: you swear you'll be friends and that not even your split or all the hard feelings associated with it will get in the way of that.
Often, these "friendships" dissolve or fail to launch altogether because they aren't friendships we really want or even care to maintain, and we don't seem to mind.
It's important not to feel obligated to make a friendship out of a broken relationship. If you don't want to be friends with your ex, don't suggest it. Being friends post-breakup is a never a requirement.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
But some people are actually worth having around, our exes included.
When a guy I was dating unexpectedly broke off our relationship in June 2010, he asked if we would still be friends. I nodded, but really doubted the chances of that even remotely happening. We weren't friends before we dated. We probably wouldn't be afterward.
Just like after our first breakup, I figured I'd never see him again. I classified him as just a bygone. He was like an ex who merely existed somewhere else and was reduced to only a few memories.
And even though we shared the most dramatic relationship I've ever been in, I love spending time with him now because I've stopped stressing about the barriers that existed in our relationships and can finally enjoy an uncomplicated bond with him.
Despite all that though, nine months later we were sipping cocktails downtown together and reminiscing about the summer before. It was a good time, so we hung out again.
But as it turned out, we wound up being more than friends again only six weeks later. That is, until our relationship fell apart once more a month after.
But our friendship still has special boundaries that make it
That time our split was amicable. We again agreed to "be friends," but after two months of what felt like me suggesting plans and him blowing them off, I finally cut the thread our so-called friendship was hanging by.
unique from my others. When it comes to really being "just friends" with our exes, we must follow certain cardinal rules of having a platonic friendship with someone with whom we used to be not so platicic.
CNN Living blogger Ami Angelowicz has it right when she offers some rules about being friends after a breakup.
Her first rule is crucial to maintaining a solid friendship: allow a mourning period and let both hearts heal. That way, sexual tension or resentment is significantly less of a threat. When these tensions burn out, a healthy friendship is possible and may even be better than the relationship.
We must understand our emotional boundaries. I love hanging out with my ex, but I make a point of keeping emotional distance, and I don't mean that to insult or criticize him. I don't rely on him when I'm upset, which Angelowicz also suggests. Keep the new friendship free of emotional entanglement that could make it complicated.
Finally, absolutely no hookups. Under any circumstances. Ever. Slipping here once can make it harder to resist later, and it forces the former couple to reassess the relationship. Hooking up post-breakup could cause both people's emotional progress to relapse, which complicates what is supposed to be a simple relationship. Friends with benefits are not actually friends. You're either dating, or you'a a boo'ty call.
Breakups don't have to be the end all, be all, but that doesn't mean they can never be. There is nothing wrong with a healthy friendship after the fact. However, they are never obligatory.
But with that said, we shouldn't always knock being friends post-breakup before we try it.

INTERNATIONAL
World isn't perfect, but it's not that bad either
Occupy members seem to ignore the advancements and improvements made in developing countries.
In July 2011, a poster began appearing in coffee shop windows, subway stations and university corridors across New York City. Its message was short: "#OccupyWallStreet. September 17th. Bring Tent." The simple directive incited a movement that swelled to include thousands of protesters across the United States, and was heralded as a turning point in American democracy. But as winter set in, the number of protesters dropped alongside falling temperatures. In the US, the Occupy Wall Street movement seems to be in hibernation.
But in the snowy Swiss resort town of Davos, sub-zero temperatures didn't prevent Occupiers from constructing a colony of igloos to protest the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) two weeks

alive.
According to the United Nations, just over 1 billion people are classified as living in "developed" nations. That means there are around 6 billion persons living in developing nations beyond the reach of Davos and the systems Occupiers are protesting. If this majority is included in the analysis, almost every metric suggests that we are living in the most peaceful and prosperous period in the history of mankind.
"Given all of this, it is clear that while the current state of the United States and the Western world is uneasy, pessimism does not accurately reflect the outlook for the rest of the world's 6 billion people."
For instance, take the Occupy movement's largest gripe:
aires from across the developed world. Attendees aren't the 1 percent — they're the 0.01 percent and represent the Who's Who of Western capitalism.
Nestled among snow-capped peaks and deliberately difficult to reach for anyone without a private jet, Davos is perhaps the starkest representation of the type of wealth inequality and non-representative governance that Occupiers criticize. The outlook for the developed world, at least from the perspective of Occupy Davos, is grim.
rising income inequality and the destruction of the middle class. In 1990, about 50 percent of the world lived on less than $1 per day. Today, that portion is less than 28
But the Occupiers are diverting our attention from a more important, and optimistic, reality; for the majority of the world (the non-Western part), there has never been a better time to be
percent. Furthermore, more than 1.3 billion people live on more than $10 per day, indicating the growth of a global middle class. Globally speaking, the Occupiers gries are unfounded.
According to Foreign Policy, a number of other statistics also support an optimistic view of the world. Between 1970 and 2008, the portion of the developing world considered "undernourished" fell from 34 percent to 17 percent. Thanks to vaccination efforts, the number of children who died from measles dropped by 60 percent between 1999 and 2005. From 2000 to 2008, child mortality dropped by 17 percent and the average person's life expectancy increased by two years.
Despite the tragedy of the wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq, that violence pales in comparison to the carnage of previous periods in human history. The number of armed conflicts worldwide has steadily declined since the end of the Cold War, falling by more than 60 percent.
More than four-fifths of the world can now read and the number of women in government leadership around the world increased from 11 percent to 19 percent between 1997 and 2009. Technological advancements like cell phones and social media have facilitated the spread of democracy, as we saw across the Middle East last spring.
Given all of this, it is clear that while the current state of the United States and the Western world is uneasy, pessimism does not accurately reflect the outlook for the rest of the world's 6 billion people.
This suggests that the most fundamental aspects of our global system are working. Specifically, individual liberty, economic freedom and democratic systems of governance have enabled the unprecedented safe and prosperous period that we now live in to occur.
Occupy Wall Street calls some of these ideals into question. The worst possible scenario would be for the United States or other Western nations to bow to populist pressures and take any action that undermines their commitment to these principles. Doing so would send a signal to the world to follow suit, undermining the spread of freedom and prosperity in developing nations.
That is not to say that the Occupiers don't have legitimate concerns. Growing income inequality and the decline of the middle class are troubling issues in the United States.
But as spring approaches and Occupy camps once again begin to grow, it would do the Western world well to remember the ideals that made its rise possible in the first place.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Thomas Robinson, junior forward
In the first half, Robinson seemed shaken by the pressure of the defense and the importance of the game. Then on the first play after the half, Reford tossed it to him by the basket for an easy two points. That started his 19-point effort in the second half, which led the Jayhawks to a 71-63 lead with 3:25 on the clock.

Missouri coach Frank Haith didn't have a player to match the 7-foot Withey, but it didn't make a difference. Withey committed his second foul with 9:36 left in the first half and Selfd didn't play him again until after halftime. He didn't score a point and grabbed four rebounds, two fewer than his average, despite being three inches taller than any Tiger.

With any thoughts of a productive Kansas possession dwindling by each dribble, Taylor found space on the baseline and darted for the hoop, throwing down a dunk to quiet the Tiger faithful and giving the Jayhawks an eight point lead with just under three and a half minutes to play.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fresh out of the final television timeout and holding a 69-63 lead, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor seemed stuck on the baseline near the corner, the raucous Missouri student section nearly within arm's reach.
Unbeknownst to Kansas fans at
the time — or anyone watching the game, really — Taylor's dunk was the final bucket for the Jayhawks in Saturday night's 74-71 defeat. Missouri ended the game on an 11-0 run.
"We let the game get away from us," junior forward Travis Releford said. "You have to give credit to them. They made big shots, but we also turned the ball over late."
Self didn't think the collapse down the stretch was a composure issue, but said someone who watched the game could definitely make that case.
"We definitely did it to ourselves," junior center Jeff Withey said. "We had the lead and if we had just held onto the ball it would have been a way different outcome."
While Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmion was finishing an old-fashioned three-point play, a layup and a free throw, as well as two highly contested 3-pointers; Kansas turned the ball over four times in the final three and a half minutes. Taylor had a chance to give Kansas a one-point lead with a
Taylor, who played 0 minutes in the loss, was noticeably winded in the final minutes. Fatigue could be pointed to as the cause for the missed free throws, but the guard is shooting just 67.6 percent from the free-throw line this season to begin with. Taylor was one of four Jayhawks to play 29 minutes or more and one of three to play at least 35 minutes.
"I don't think it was fatigue, but it could have been," Kansas coach Bill Self said of the failed execution in the final minutes. "We obviously made some really bad plays late. Really bad plays that just put them in position to win the game."
They didn't, however, and Missouri picked up its second home victory over Kansas since the 2005-2006 season.
"We've had three sets of three minutes over here that absolutely stink." Self said. "And that would be right up near the top."

SUPER BOWL
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Giants take down the Patriots again
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Take that,
Brady. You too, Peyton.
Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after one-upping Tom Brady and leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Sunday's Super Bowl — in older brother Peyton's house, at that.
And now Manning not only has stamped himself as the elite quarterback he claimed to be when the season began — in the same class as Brady — he's beaten the Patriots in two thrilling Super Bowls. The Giants (13-7), who stood 7-7 in mid-December, now own the football world, and Manning owns two Super Bowl MVP awards, the same number as Brady.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's been a wild game, a wild season," Manning said. "This isn't about one person. It's about one team, a team coming together."
Manning's first incompletion didn't come until 1:19 into the second quarter.
At that point, it was 9-3 after Stephen Gostkowski's 29-yard field goal. The Patriots got to the Giants' 11, but All-Pro DE Jason Pierre-Paul blocked a third-down pass.
Soon after, when the Patriots had a three-and-out, and Pierre-Pau blocked another throw, Belichick and offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien had a quick discussion. Then O'Brien, soon to take over as Penn State coach, went over to the struggling Brady.
The talk must have helped. On the final series of the opening half, Brady was masterful. Starting at his four, and ignoring the last time the Patriots began a series in the shadow of the end zone, he was vintage Brady.
With New York's vaunted pass rush disappearing, Brady went 10-for-10 for 98 yards, capping the drive that included two Patriots penalties with Woodhead's four-yard TD reception with eight seconds to go in the half. Hernandez and Woodhead each had four catches on the drive that put New England ahead despite being outplayed for so much of the first 30 minutes.
that brilliance in the clutch on the winning drive. He completed five passes, including a sensational 38-yard sideline catch by Mario Manningham to open the drive.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning celebrates with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the Giants' 21-17 win over the New England Patriots in the NFL Super Bowl XLI football game, Sunday in Indianapolis.
Just as Manning did four years ago when the Giants ruined New England's perfect season, he guided them 88 yards to the decisive touchdown, which the Patriots didn't contest as Ahmad Bradshaw ran six yards with 57 seconds left.
Consecutive field goals by Lawrence Tynes of 38 and 33 yards brought New York within 17-15. Brady then threw deep for his tight end after weaving away from two pass rushers. His throw was short, and Chase Blackburn picked it off early in the fourth quarter.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick reasoned the Giants would run the clock down and kick a short field goal, so he gambled by allowing the six points.
Manning led six comeback victories during the season and set an NFL record with 15 fourth-quarter touchdown passes. He showed
On second down at the Patriots six and with only one timeout remaining, Belichick had his defense stand up as Bradshaw took the handoff. Bradshaw thought about stopping short of the end zone, then tumbled in untouched.
Brady kept firing — and hitting — in the third quarter, with five more completions. The Giants didn't come within shouting distance of the record-setting quarterback. He capped a 79-yard drive to open the second half with a 12-yard TD to Hernandez, but then the game turned. Again.
SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS
"I was yelling to him. 'Don't score, don't score,'" Manning said. "He tried to stop, but he fell into the end zone."
Brady couldn't answer in the final 57 seconds, although his desperation pass into the end zone on the final play fell just beyond the grasp of All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski. New England (15-4), winner of 10 straight since a loss to the Giants in November, was done.
Brady headed off with his head bowed, holding his helmet, while around him was the wild celebration by the Giants, NFL champions for the eighth — and perhaps most unlikely — time.
"Great toughness, great faith, and great plays by a number of guys today." Manning said, deflecting some of the attention. Still, he one-upped Brady, and Peyton.
"It just feels good to win a Super Bowl, it doesn't matter where you are," Manning said.
It was the fifth trip to a Super Bowl for Brady and Belichick, tying the record. And it looked like a successful one when they stormed back from a 9-0 deficit and led 17-9 in the third quarter. But the Giants, who reached New England territory on every possession except a kneeldown at the end of the first half, got field goals of 38 and 33 yards from Lawrence Tynes. And it looked like Tynes, who kicked them into the Super Bowl four years ago at Green Bay and again this year at San Francisco, both in overtime, would get called on again.
The Giants are the first Super Bowl winner that was outscored during the regular season. They were 6-2 after that 24-20 victory at New England, then lost four straight and five of six.
"What I was concerned with was these guys making their own history," Coughlin said. "This is such a wonderful thing, these guys carving their own history."
Coach Tom Coughlin insisted "the prize" was still within reach. Now the Giants are holding tight to that Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl ad creates conflict
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANSING, Mich. — The portrayal of a young Asian woman speaking broken English in a Super Bowl ad being run by U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra against Michigan incumbent Debbie Stabenow is bringing charges of racial insensitivity.
GOP consultant Nick De Leeuw flat-out scolded the Holland Republican for the ad.
"Stabenow has got to go. But shame on Pete Hoekstra for that appalling new advertisement." De Leeuw wrote on his Facebook page Sunday morning. "Racism and xenophobia aren't any way to get things done."
The nonpartisan Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote group's Michigan chapter said it was "deeply disappointed" by the ad, noting that the Asian-American community is a major contributor to Michigan's economy. In 2010, Michigan's 236,490 Asian-Americans made up 2.4 percent of the state's population, up 35 percent from 2000.
"It is very disturbing that Mr. Hoekstra's campaign chose to use harmful negative stereotypes that intrinsically encourage anti-Asian sentiment," the group said in a statement.
Hoekstra campaign spokesman Paul Ciaramitaro said the ad is meant to be satirical. Hoekstra's Facebook page, which by early evening was getting a barrage of criticism on the ad, snapped back that those "trying to make this an issue of race demonstrates their total ignorance of job creation policies." On YouTube, the ratings buttons on the ad were disabled after it aired.
"Democrats talk about race when they can't defend their records," Ciaramitaro said. "The U.S. economy is losing jobs to China because of Stabenow's reckless spending policies. China is reaping the reward."
The 30-second ad was filmed in California and never mentions China directly. It opens with the sound of a gong and shows a young Asian woman riding a bike on a narrow path lined by rice paddies.
Stopping her bike, the woman smiles into the camera and says, "Thank you, Michigan Senator Debbie Spenditnow. Debbie spends so much American money. You borrow more and more from us. Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you, Debbie Spenditnow"
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Baylor holds off Oklahoma State to draw even in Big 12
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. — Perry Jones III had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Quincy Acy provided the go-ahead basket and a key offensive rebound down the stretch and No. 6 Baylor edged Oklahoma State 64-60 on Saturday.
After a timeout, Acy answered at the other end with a layup set up by Pierre Jackson's drive. Acy also grabbed the rebound when Brady Heslip missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw opportunity with 6.8 seconds left, allowing Anthony Jones to hit two foul shots to close it out for Baylor (21-2, 8-2).
The Cowboys (11-12, 4-6 Big 12) rallied from a nine-point deficit to take a 57-56 lead on Keiton Page's wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing with 1:42 to play.
Brian Williams scored a careerhigh 23 points for Oklahoma State, which was bidding to win back-to-back home games against top10 opponents. The Cowboys had pulled off the feat back in February 1992, the only other time they had hosted consecutive games against teams ranked that high.
Jackson had 16 points and Acy finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds — none bigger than the ones the end.
Accomplished inside with 90 seconds lift to put Baylor right back ahead after OSU's only lead of the
game, and Page missed a three from the left wing at the other end. After two free throws by Heslip, Page then used a pump fake and tried to draw a quow when Quincy Miller leaped into the air, but the whistle didn't sound
The Cowboys were forced to foul, and Heslip — a 95 percent foul shooter — hit two more to push the lead to 62-57. Markel Brown came out of a scrum with the ball and hit a 3-pointer from the right wing get Oklahoma State within two and Heslip, who had made 23 of 24 from the foul line on the season, then had a rare miss with 6.9 seconds left.
Acy bounded along the left baseline to get the rebound, and Anthony Jones' foul shots closed it out with 2.8 seconds left.
Williams scored the first eight points of Oklahoma State's 10-2 run to open the second half, and Nash finished it off by weaving through the lane for a layup that tied it at 39 with 14:55 to play. But Nash was whistled for his fourth foul on Baylor's next possession, and the Cowboys didn't score again for over 5 minutes.
It was Baylor's first win at Gallagher-Iba Arena since 2003, snapping an eight-game losing streak.
Jackson hit a pair of three-pointers as Baylor scored the next nine points, the second one swishing through on a shot from the right wing for a 48-39 advantage with
10:20 left.
Nash finally returned after spending about seven minutes on the bench and started bringing Oklahoma State back, just as he had done almost single-handedly when the Cowboys rallied from a sevenpoint deficit in the final six and a half minutes to beat No.2 Missouri 10 days earlier.
Nash had a three-point play off of a driving layup, then answered Jones' putback with a jumper from the left elbow to get a 10-2 run going. Page finished it off with his goahead 3-pointer.
Baylor got out to a 17-6 lead in the opening 10 minutes but couldn't pull away as the Cowboys got into foul trouble. Nash and Brown each picked up three fouls in the first half and had to head to the bench, leaving Oklahoma State with its only five remaining players who'd ever logged even a minute of playing time on the court.
Jean-Paul Olukemi (knee) and Philip Jurick (foot) are out with injuries, point guards Fred Gulley and Reger Dowell transferred in the middle of the season and yet another point guard Cezar Guerrero was suspended at least one game for violating team rules.
The Cowboys still hung tough, pulling within six before Acy's putback at the halftime buzzer put Baylor up 37-29.

Regular season concludes with rare defeat to Iowa State
ALEC TILSON
alectilson@kansan.com
A victory last weekend could have been a big mental boost for the Kansas swimming and diving team, but the season concluded in an unusual way in Ames, Iowa on Friday and Saturday.
In the team's final dual meet and competition of the regular season, Kansas (5-5, 0-2) battled Iowa State down to the final event before ultimately losing, 158-142.
It marked just the third time in the program's history that the team lost to Iowa State. Previously, Kansas was 24-2 against the Cyclones.
On Saturday, as Kansas trailed 140-124, senior Stephanie Payne torched the rest of the field with a time of 3:16.69 in the 300-yard individual medley, the meet's penultimate event. More than six
seconds ahead of the next finisher, Payne gave Kansas nine critical points late in the day, but the team still trailed 136-147 going into the final event.
It was, however, not the jay-hawks' day. The relay team of junior Svetlana Golovchun, senior Sarah Hettenbach, junior Brook Brull and sophomore Sophia Filatova finished second in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Iowa State claimed first place and the deciding 11 points.
Junior diver Christy Cash performed well. She posted a 269.85 in the 1-meter diving event, good for second place. She went on to finish third in the 3-meter diving, but posted a season-high finish in the event.
Despite a strong start by Kansas, the team could not hold off the evenly-matched Iowa State team.
In the second event, the 800-yard freestyle, sophomore Alison Moffit took first, junior Rebecca Swank second and sophomore Malia Johnson third. This gave Kansas 16 early points.
The following event, senior Shannon Garlie took first in the 150-yard freestyle, followed closely by teammates Brull and sophomore Morgan Sharp, which gave Kansas 16 more points in just the third event.
The Jayhawks returned to Lawrence and will prepare for the two remaining competitions of the season. The Big 12 Championships begin Feb. 22 in Columbia, Mo.

Stanley recovers from loss with comeback win
SCOTTSALEA, Ariz. — Kyle Stanley
rebounded from a devastating loss to win the Phoenix Open, overcoming an eight-stroke deficit Sunday in a comback as unlikely as his collapse last week at Torrey Pines.
Titleist
Stanley
In tears seven days ago in San Diego after blowing a big lead — dropping the final strokes with a triple-bogey 8 on the final hole — and losing a playoff, Stanley took advantage of Spencer Levin's meltdown Sunday to win his first PGA Tour title.
"I'm not sure what I'm thinking right now," Stanley said. "I just needed to focus on playing golf. I needed to put last week behind me."
He cried again, this time tears of joy.
"I just want to thank my mom and dad. They've done a lot for me. I'm speechless," Stanley said in the scoring area moments after the victory.
Ben Crane had a 66 to finish a stroke back.
Levin, six strokes ahead entering the round and seven in front after one hole, shot a 75 to finish two strokes behind Stanley.
"I just didn't have it," Levin said. "Maybe I was looking ahead too much and trying too hard. What are you going to do? I tried my best."
The 24-year-old Stanley, the long-hitting former Clemson star from Gig. Harbor, Wash., birdied the par-5 13th and par-4 14th to take a one-stroke lead at 15 under.
Did this victory erase last week?
"Not really," Stanley said. "I'm never going to forget that."

Kansas soccer brings in three new recruits
SOCCER
With the most of the hype last week on college football's National Signing Day, the women's college soccer scene may have gotten lost in the shuffle.
Nevertheless, on Thursday the Kansas team picked up three new recruits to go along with their 10 returning players from the 2011 season.
Leading the Jayhawks class was the reigning New Mexico state high school player of the year Ashley Williams.
The 5-foot-8 forward from Albuquerque was named an NSCAA High School All-American in her senior season after guiding her school, Volcano Vista, to second place at the state tournament.
Kansas also grabbed another player from New Mexico: defender
Kaley Smith.
Smith is also from Albuquerque but played at Eldorado High School. Smith was a four time all-state selection.
Williams and Smith played club soccer together for the Rio Vista Eagles and won three consecutive state titles between 2007-2009.
The Jayhawks' last member of the 2012 class is from Raymore-Peculiar High School in Missouri.
Courtney Dickerson from Peculiar, Mo., will dawn the crimson and blue next year after wrapping up her senior season with the Panthers this spring. Through her first three high school seasons Dickerson has been a three-time all-district first team selection.

No.24 Gonzaga stops late surge in victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MALIBU, Calif. — Marty Wilson knows it's going to take some time for his team to regularly be among the upper echelon of the West Coast Conference.
On nights such as Saturday, the first-year Pepperdine coach can't help but believe it will happen sooner rather than later. Kevin Pangos and Robert Sacre each scored 15 points, helping No. 24 Gonzaga beat Pepperdine 72-60 — but not before the Waves gave the Bulldogs a scare.
Gonzaga's 15-point lead shrunk to two points midway through the second half before it held on to win its 22nd straight in the series.
"We've told our guys that there is a thin line between the elite in
our league and everyone else," Wilson said. "We obviously proved that tonight. We can play with everyone in the league if we're doing all the things we need to do.
"We're not good enough yet to take a night off or have two or three of our guys not play well and still win the game."
Corbin Moore had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Joshua Lowry added 11 points for Pepperdine (8-15, 2-10), which lost for the 10th time in 11 games.
— move the ball and make the right decisions," Wilson said. "So that was a big part of it. When you defend and get stops, you become more confident."
"Our guys are starting to understand what we're trying to do
Guy Landry Edi scored 13
points and Elias Harris added nine for Gonzaga (18-4, 8-2 West Coast Conference), which broke out of a 3-point shooting slump to go 7 of 16 from beyond the arc.
The inexperienced Waves put a rocky first few minutes behind them, shooting 53.6 percent in the second half to make a game out of it.
"That's a great win for us, for the fact that we put a lot of emotion into that last game and we didn't win," Sacre said. "It was tough, but we responded like champions."
"I didn't want to end the winning streak," Edi said. "We had come in here and get the win, absolutely. We couldn't lose this game."

Miami stuns Duke in overtime
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — No. 7 Duke won four national championships over the years while being driven by what Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski says was energy, effort and hunger.
When the Blue Devils didn't necessarily have those things Sunday, they couldn't even beat Miami.
The Hurricanes stunned Duke 78-74 in overtime, dropping the Blue Devils out of their three-way tie for first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and likely taking some of the luster off the Duke-North Carolina game later this week.
The Blue Devils couldn't handle Miami's 6-foot-10, 284-pound Reggie Johnson, who scored five of his
career-high 27 points in the overtime and added a season-high 12 rebounds.
But more distressing to Krzyzewski — once again — the Blue Devils played for too long without the all-out effort that has marked his program's rise among the nation's elite.
"A Duke team should play with energy for 40 minutes, or 45." Krzyzewski said. "Go outside right now and you look at the banners
— there are quite a few of them up there. They were not won without energy, without hunger, with no complacency, with people really wanting it.
"And we've wanted it a lot, and we've won a lot. We're supposed to play hard and with energy all the time. Those are givens. Those
should be givens."
Instead, the Blue Devils (19-4,
6-2) have lost two of their last three
games at Cameron Indoor Stadium
and have dropped multiple home
games for the first time since going
15-4 there in 2006-07. Krzyzewski
at the time compared his team's
only home win in the past two
weeks — a victory over St. John's —
to an AAU game because of Duke's
occasional lack of intensity.
Seth Curry scored 22 points and freshman Austin Rivers added 20. Mason Plumlee had 13 rebounds for Duke, which missed all six of its free throws in overtime and wound up being beaten at home by a Florida-based conference rival for the second time this season. Duke had its 45-game home winning streak snapped two weeks ago by No. 21
The Blue Devils had plenty of chances in the extra session. They trailed 75-74 with Cook on the line, but he missed two free throws with 27.2 seconds left.
"The biggest emphasis for us was to protect our home court," guard Quinn Cook said. "We've got to get better."
After Johnson missed two foul shots with 26.2 seconds left to give Duke another shot, Cook missed badly on a running jumper with about 15 seconds left. DeQuan Jones extended Miami's lead to 77-74 with two foul shots with 12.9 seconds left.
"For 24 minutes, I just think we were not very good at all," Krzyzewski said. "We had no energy and they did."
RIVALRY
Michigan State ends losing streak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Draymond Green had 14 points and 16 rebounds to lead No. 9 Michigan State to a 64-54 win over No. 23 Michigan on Sunday, backing up his guarantee of a victory.
The Spartans (18-5, 7-3 Big Ten) ended a three-game skid in the rivalry and moved into sole possession of second place in the conference behind third-ranked Ohio State.
The Wolverines (17-7, 7-4) haven't won or lost consecutive games in nearly a month.
Green played, as he promised, with a sprained left knee and the senior had the best game of his career in the series.
Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr. missed his first six shots and had a season-low four points. Teammate Trey Burke had made only one shot before his 3-pointer just before halftime pulled the Wolverines within eight points. Burke finished with 11 points.
The Spartans took control with a 17-7 run early in the first half and pulled away with eight straight points to take a 57-40 lead with just under 3 minutes left after Brandon Wood tracked down an offensive rebound and made a 3-pointer.
Michigan State outrebounded the Wolverines 40-16, including 12-3 on the offensive glass. Green matched Michigan's total by himself.
Keith Appling and Branden Dawson each scored 10 points and Wood added nine for the Spartans, who made 52 percent of their shots and held the Wolverines to sub-40-percent shooting.
Michigan's Zach Novak scored 14 points and Jordan Morgan had 11.
The Spartans held Michigan scoreless for 5-plus minutes, but
they were tied at 2 after making only one shot and turning the ball over four times.
Michigan State started clicking on offense while the Wolverines continued to struggle, leading 19-9 midway through the first half.
The Spartans made 59 percent of their shots in the first half with eight players making a shot.
Michigan, meanwhile, had eight turnovers by halftime three fewer than it averages in a game — and shot 39 percent.
The Wolverines tried to get Hardaway going early in the second half, but he missed four shots in the opening minutes before finally making a shot with 15:26 left in the game.
Michigan State built a 16-point lead with just under 13 minutes left soon after the usually composed Michigan coach John Beilein was called for a technical foul for arguing a call. A few minutes later, the Spartans' bench was called for a technical.
Green was the center of attention before the game, playing after being injured in a loss Tuesday night at Illinois and saying only death could have kept him off the court.
The do-it-all forward guaranteed Michigan State would win Sunday's game after his floating 10-footer and tip-in attempt in the final seconds of last month's setback in Ann Arbor. Michigan had won three straight times in the rivalry for the first time since winning five in a row from 1996 to 1998.
Green, whose previous high against Michigan was 10 points, made a fadeaway jumper and left-handed layup to restore the 10-point lead on ensuing possessions after the Wolverines cut their deficit to single digits midway through the second half.

THE MORNING BREW American League loaded at first base
ALBERT PUJOLS, LOS ANGELES ANGELS
It was a busy offseason in baseball, especially for the Detroit Tigers' Prince Fielder and the Los Angeles Angels' Albert Pujols, who recently made the transition to the American League. With these two moves, the American League is now loaded with talent at first base. Take a look at just some of the names you can expect to see on this year's All-Star ballot.
By Jonathan Rosa email@kansan.com
Puijols was the biggest name during this year's free agency. He didn't come cheaply at $254 million over 10 years, and he is now the second highest paid player in baseball history. The nine-time AllStar has compiled numerous accolades during his 11 seasons with the Cardinals, and is a career .328 hitter compiling 445 homers and 1329 RBIs. He is one of the most dangerous bats in the game and is very strong defensively at first.
2012 Salary: $12 million
PRINCE FIELDER, DETROIT TIGERS
Designated hitter Victor Martinez is most likely out for the season, but the Tigers found a bat to bolster the lineup by signing Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million deal. The three-time All-Star, who finished last season batting
.299 with 38 home runs and 120 RBIs,
isn't expected to slow anytime soon.
**2012 Salary:** $23 million
MARK TEIXEIRA, NEW YORK YANKEES
Teixeira has lived up to everything the Yankees expected since they signed him in 2009. He usually starts slow at the beginning of the season, but when he gets going, there's rarely a guy better in the game. He consistently drives in runs and can hit from both sides of the plate, but I think he makes the biggest difference with his glove. Teixeira has saved his infielders countless errors and has proven to be one of the best first basemen defensively. He has a career fielding percentage of .996.
2012 Salary: $22.5 million
ADRIAN GONZALEZ, BOSTON RED SOX
This guy can flat out rake. Gonzalez finished last season with 27 homers, a number that is lower than years past, but he had a .338 batting average, finishing second behind Detroit's Miguel Cabrera. He, like Teixeira, is one of the best defensive first basemen in the league, committing only four errors in 156 games.
2012 Salary: $21 million
PAUL KONERKO, CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Konerko comes into spring training stating that he might retire after this season. In my opinion, he is one of the most underrated players in baseball. He's not getting any younger at 35, but last season he made the All-Star roster and finished with a .300 batting average, 31 homers and 105 RBIs.
JUSTIN MORNEAU, MINNESOTA TWINS
2012 Salary: $12 million
After suffering a concussion in 2010 and having undergone several surgeries, it hasn't been a fun couple of years for Morneau. Before his season was cut short in 2010, he was playing as well as he did during his 2006 MVP season. Hopefully Morneau can have a healthy and productive 2012.
KU
HONORABLE MENTIONS
2012 Salary: $14 million
ERIC HOSMER, KANSAS CITY ROYALS
CARLOS PEÑA, TAMPA BAY RAYS
I loved what I saw from this kid last season. He's young, durable, has pop in his bat, and can field; an all-around great athlete with tons of potential. He's definitely one of the players I'm most looking forward to watching in 2012.
Peña makes his way back to the Rays after spending a season with the Cubs. Only knock I have on him is that he strikes out too often. If he can lower that number, there's no reason why he shouldn't be in the same company as the rest of the list.

SWIM TEAM FALLS SHORT AFTER LOSS TO IOWA STATE, TEAM LOOKS FORWARD TO CHAMPIONSHIP SUCCESS IN NEW YORK KANSAS TRACK TEAM PLACES IN TOP 25 PAGE 9
For 40 minutes of back-and-forth basketball more than half of Mizzou Arena apprehensively stood, waiting for nothing more than the clock to run out of time, and to see who would come out on top.
Saturday's game proved just that.
— college basketball at its peak. What does this mean?
And in between the action that went down to the final buzzer, something unique happened. The two schools, whose hatred dates back to the Civil War finally showed the small fraction of the rivalry besides hate.
Unfortunately, Missouri's 74-71 victory Saturday night also marked the beginning of the end for one of the greatest sports traditions, and that will soon be frozen in time.
The 15,061 people in attendance witnessed just what they had hoped
Self took a stern approach about the rivalry.
"I don't feel bad," Self said. "Missouri] wanted this, so why should I feel bad?"
It may sound harsh, but it was truthful words from the man with probably the biggest say in when the Jayhawks will play the Tigers next.
There may not be much of it, but sometime during the years of legendary games, a smidgen of admiration has been born. Missouri fans avoided any distasteful signs and chants, and instead enjoyed the journey both schools were taking them on.
She told him, "That's the way cal lege basketball should be played."
Following Self's post game press conference, Kansas players and their families stood on the court, consoling each other. Self stood alone, watching it all. That's when a Missouri fan approached Self, and simply thanked him for providing such great basketball.
She got that right.
But for 40 minutes Saturday, none of the off the court drama existed. Just like it had for so many years, it was just Kansas and Missouri providing basketball at its highest quality, and the fans not only understood that, they embraced it.
Respect.

COMMENTARY Tradition ends in respect
And the coach said he expects it to be the same in Lawrence.
"I love the atmosphere," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "So much has been made about the hatred and all that stuff. I thought tonight, and this is hard for me to say to Mizzou people, but I thought tonight that was about as good and class atmosphere there is."

KANSAS 71, MISSOURI 74 LAST-MINUTE LOSS
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Tyshawn Taylor carried the Jayhawks to the cusp of victory, then squashed it all.
With 41.3 seconds left and his team trailing 72-71, Taylor stood at the free throw line. The yellow blur of Missouri's student section boomed behind the hoop. His first shot was too long, bouncing off the back of the rim. Second attempt, same fate.
With 10 seconds left and the score still 72-71, Taylor darted from the left elbow of the three-point line toward the hoop. Missouri junior guard Michael Dixon planted his left foot, embraced Taylor's contact and flew backwards onto the hardwood, drawing a charge and clinching No. 4 Missouri's 74-71 victory over No. 8 Kansas (18-5, 8-2).
"I feel like I cost us the game," Taylor said. "That's a sucky feeling."
Several Jayhaws and coach Bill Self disagreed with the referee's charge call on Taylor. A charge requires two planted feet from the defender. When Dixon halted his body to defend Taylor, his right foot slightly slid across the floor. The call was one of many that upset Self and the Jayhaws, who felt they had the game won but threw it away.
"I was told I don't want to see the tape," Self said of the charge call.
Just before Taylor's missed free
throws, Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon, who finished with 29 points, connected on two deep, contested three-pointers. His heroes led Missouri's 11-0 run to finish the game.
In the first frame, Taylor scored 17; half of his team's points. When Robinson struggled to manage multiple defenders and produce with his back to the basket, Taylor relieved the Jayhawks with fearless attacks at Missouri's interior and calm, accurate jump shots.
"He's damn good." Self said of Taylor. "He is damn good."
Yet at the end of the game, Missouri's pressure rattled Taylor, who turned the ball over twice in the final 1:15.
"He made two threes with his body turned sideways," Self said. "Those are big time shots."
"We had a lead and we didn't want to play safe, but we wanted to still try to score," Taylor said. "We just turned it over."
With his team down three points, Taylor handed the ball to junior guard Elijah Johnson on the left side of the three-point line. Johnson dribbed to the center of the arc and pump-faked with 3.5 seconds left, his last chance at an open look. Now double-covered, Johnson hurled an off-balance shot and missed wide left.
After the game, reporters flocked around a glossy-eyed Robinson.
"I don't want to lose anymore" he said.

The Kansas women's basketball team went to College Station looking to reverse its recent blunder in conference play. In practice they focused on minimizing turnovers and adjusting to perimeter pressure, but it was those two same issues that sank the Jayhawks again.
Kansas finished with 20 turnovers and shot only 38.9 percent from the field as they fell to No. 18 Texas A&M 62-51. This was Kansas' third straight loss and it dropped them to 16-6 overall and 5-5 in conference play.
"We had a lot of turnovers at a bad time and in bad situations and they were able to score off our mistakes," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "That's a game that we can only have limited mistakes."
The Jayhawks kept the game much closer this time, trailing by only four late in the second half. The Aggies jumped to an early 8-0 lead, but the Jayhawks battled back within three points.
By halftime, they were down 32-23, but fought back to bring the game to 10 points midway through the second half. They continued their momentum and took the margin down to
five points off a three pointer by sophomore guard CeCe Harper. With less than a minute to go, the Jayhawks pulled within four, but the Aggies scored the last seven points of the game.
"We can't change what we are doing and how we made the run and how we cut the lead in we have to continue to do that and not settle for jump shots," junior guard Angel Goodrich said.
Kansas won the rebounding battle, but was outscored 34-22 in the paint. But, Texas A&M scored 21 points off Kansas' turnovers and held Kansas without a

With Davis out, Texas A&M forward Kelsey Bone excelled and scored a game-high 26 points. Senior guard Sydney Carter balanced the Aggie attack adding 15 points.

Sutherland and Goodrich led the Jayhawks with 11 points each. Engelman finished with 10

Kansas will return home to face Texas for the second time at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. In the first contest, Texas was ranked No. 23 and Kansas left Austin, Texas with the upset victory.

Lights line the sidewalk on the north side of 12th Street. They continue down Mt.Oread to South Park on Massachusetts Street.
Motion-activated lights installed
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com
New, vintage-style lights sit along the concrete sidewalk on the north side of 12th street. The path runs down Mt. Oread to South Park on Massachusetts Street, where it turns north toward downtown.
"There has always been crime in the area between campus and downtown," said Elisa Higgins, former community affairs director for Student Senate. "It's never been a safe place for students, especially women, to walk."
In 2009, after years of discussing off-campus lighting. Higgins proposed a lighted path from campus to downtown in an area where the crime rate was high.
Higgins said improving student safety has always been a priority for student senate. "The Oread neighborhood is where a lot of students live and it's pretty dark," said Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence and student body president. "There is often a lot of crime there. It's something that's been needed for a long time."
That year. The Kansan published a map of where crimes were committed in Lawrence.
"It was a helpful visual for you because it showed just how much
crime happened in the area between campus and downtown," Higgins said. "That was one thing that spurred us onward."
Her proposal has come to life with support from the student senate, the KU Public Safety Office, the city of Lawrence and other organizations. In a press release, Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the city of Lawrence, said the entire pathway is lit with LED motion-activated lights that stay dim until someone walks near them.
"It's definitely a plus more than it is a negative. It gives a lighted area for people to see others just in case something bad might happen," said Mike Casur, a junior from Vienna, Va, "Someone could come out and attack."
Johnson said she felt the same way.
"Students, whether they are walking home from the library late at night or walking downtown to go out, they should be safe," Johnson said. "No matter what activity, they should be able to be around the campus at night and feel as though they are in a safe environment."

Dispelling Lawrence marijuana
RACHEL SALYER
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com

Lawrence can be found on a Wikipedia page titled "Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States." According to the page, "In 2006, the city of Lawrence, Kansas passed an ordinance imposing fines but no jail time for cannabis possession." However, city attorney Chad Sublet said that this simply isn't true.
The definition of decriminalization can be broad, but it generally means to make the possession of marijuana no longer a crime.
In 2006, the city commission passed an ordinance allowing first time offenders to be tried in municipal court, rather than district court. It allows students to keep their financial aid if convicted, but they face a $200 to $2,500 fine and up to one year in jail.
"There hasn't been any decriminalization of marijuana by the city commission," Sublet said. "To the best of my knowledge, it's never even been brought up to the commission."
"I had been mis-
Under the city's current law, a person can be charged for possessing any amount of THC or marijuana, and a second offense is classified as a felony and will go through district court.
informed that marijuana was decriminalized from different websites and through different people," said Brad Crenshaw, a senior from Topeka who said he wants to open a marijuana business post-graduation .
Learning that decriminalization does not exist in Lawrence hasn't derailed Crenshaw's future aspirations.
"I want to be the Anheuser-Busch of marijuana," Crenshaw said. "If the legalization of marijuana passes, there's no reason it can't be enjoyed like alcohol is now; safely and responsibly."
Sublet said if Lawrence hypothetically decriminalized or legalized marijuana, it would create a conflict at the state level, in which possession of any marijuana is considered a crime.
Some students appreciate that marijuana is not decriminalized
"There would be a conflict where the federal government could still come in and arrest people for the possession of marijuana." Sublet said.
lieve the city's current policies should not be changed.
"I don't necessarily think the city should tell everyone what to do, but making it okay for legal marijuana in any form won't lead to anything
"No true reform will come until it's on a national scale because it's too easy to transport across state borders," Crenshaw said.

Campaign process takes time
ELISE REUTER

Candidates have the option to either run independently or with a coalition. Independent candidates can campaign on their own, while candidates in a coalition campaign with other like-minded students. Cara Smith, a senior from Topeka, chose to run with KUnited last year.
Campaigning for Student Senate elections doesnt just include chalking on Wescoe Beach or handing out fliers. Preparing for elections is a process that begins months in advance.
"If you're interested in running in one, you have to contact the people in charge of it and see if they have an opening," Smith said. "You campaign together. It's a team effort."
Before a candidate can begin the
election process, they must first get a specific number of signatures from their constituency. Smith's requirement was 50 signatures from students who lived on campus. Once a candidate has enough signatures, they begin the campaigning process.
Freebies, such as t-shirts and buttons, help the candidates make their name recognizable. Candidates also will explain their platform and positions on certain issues to as many people as possible.
"You pass out fliers and buttons. It gets pretty intense," Smith said. "There are people stationed every 30 feet on Wescoe."
Candidates will also visit several student groups, send out emails and advertise on Facebook to gain votes.
But it doesn't end there.
Haley Miller, a junior candidate representing the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from Kingman, Kan., is also running for Student Senate this year. She said she's unsure which coalition she will support, but last year she ran with Renew KU. She said Renew KU had long been preparing for elections last year.
"People start planning things months in advance," Miller said. "Last year elections were in April. We started planning mid-February."
"We had an entire email writing night," Smith said. "You want to try to reach out to as many people as possible, and tell them why you'd be a good senator."

Both parties agree on student debt issue
Student debt will exceed $1 trillion this year, a challenge President Obama and Republican party candidates are seeking to confront with dramatically different approaches.
What the two sides seem to agree on is that the issue has become increasingly important to young Americans, the economic recovery and the 2012 election.
loans and educational institutions. The Republicans believe this will reduce higher education costs and increase affordability.
GOP candidates have used the subject to reach out to young voters, a disgruntled demographic essential to the Obama campaign's 2008 success. The GOP approach is to reduce the role of the federal government and increase privatization of debt,
Meanwhile, Obama has introduced a plan to add several billion dollars to the existing federal loan program and keep interest rates low. He has also proposed incentives to encourage colleges and states to increase affordability.

Proposal to redraw districts advances
Laura Sather
The plan would collapse three current House districts and create three new ones in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Members advanced the bill on a bipartisan, voice vote after barely 10 minutes of meeting.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A Kansas House committee took little time Monday in endorsing a proposal to redraw the chamber's 125 districts to reflect changes in the 2010 census.
House Speaker Mike O'Neal, chairman of the redistricting committee, said the decision was quicker than he anticipated, and it's possible the full House could debate
One district each would be lost in southeast, southwest and central Kansas, reflecting the population gains over the past decade in Johnson and Wyandotte counties.
O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, said there could be some attempts at amending the bill on the floor, but that such effort is more difficult in the full debate than in committee.

Later in the day Wednesday, the full Senate will vote on a proposal for redrawing the state's four congressional maps.
"Literally, a piece you change in one district can have a ripple effect all across the state," he said.

audience understand what goes into a presidential primary race.
"Gov. Pawlenty governed a centrist state thoughtfully and successfully as a GOP conservative," Lacy said in a press release. "During his program here at the Dole Institute, I know he will provide a lot of insight into how the GOP nominee for president will run and govern if elected."
Gov. Pawlenty served as a member of Minnesota's state legislature from 1993 to 2003 and as the state's governor from 2003 to 2011. He then announced his run for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination in May 2011, but dropped out of the race in August, endorsing Mitt Romney.

Mexico may elect first female president
MEXICO CITY — Mexico's ruling party on Sunday chose a former congresswoman to run for president, the first time a major party has nominated a woman to compete for the nation's top office.
The National Action Party's vote for Josefina Vazquez Mota over two other candidates sets the race for Mexico July 1 presidential election. The two other major parties had already selected their candidates.
Vazquez Mota, 51, faces an uphill climb against former Mexico state Gov. Enrique Pena Nieto, the
Vazquez Mota
front-runner in the current polls who could return Mexico's long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, to power after a 12-year hiatus.
The leftist Democratic Revolution Party chose Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is making his second run after a razor-thin loss in 2006 to President Felipe Calderon. Mexico limits its presidents to a single six-year term.
EUROPE
Vazquez Mota is considered Pena Nieto's strongest potential challenger, a personable, charismatic candidate who like Pena Nieto is good on the stump. Though Mexican voters in general seem weary of the ruling party after presidents Vicente Fox and Calderon, the novelty of a woman candidate could boost party appeal.
Romania's government collapses

social tension" and to make way for a new government. Thousands of Romanians took to the streets in January to protest salary cuts, higher taxes and the widespread perception that the government was not
interested in the public's hardships in this nation of 22 million.
President Traian Basescu quickly appointed Justice Minister Catalin Predoui, the only Cabinet member unaffiliated with a political party, as interim prime minister to serve until a new government is approved.
Basescu also nominated Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, the head of Romania's foreign intelligence service, as the country's new prime minister and asked him to form a Cabinet. Parliament must approve Ungureanu and his ministers in 60 days, or it and the legislature will be dissolved and new elections held.
But the opposition said it opposes Ungureanu and that it will continue the boycott of Parliament it began last week.

Illegally-built factory building collapses, kills at least four
ISLAMABAD — Rescue workers struggled to reach dozens of people trapped in the rubble of a factory that collapsed in an eastern Pakistani city Monday, killing at least four, officials said.
The factory, which manufactured medicine, had been set up illegally in a residential area of Lahore and caved in after several gas cylinders inside exploded, said the city's deputy commissioner, Ahad Cheema. Authorities had previously closed the factory three times, but each time it reopened.
The factory was owned by a local politician, who used his influence to keep it open despite complaints from neighbors, said local resident Munawar Ali.
Powerful Pakistani often use their influence to circumvent the law and extract illegal profits.
Records indicate there were 62 people, including women and children, inside the factory when it collapsed, said police official Sarfraz Falki.
"We believe some 50 to 60 people are still trapped in the rubble," said
Falki.
The four dead people who have been pulled out so far included a woman and a 12-year-old boy, said Rizwan Naseer, head of the state-run rescue service in Punjab province, of which Lahore is the capital.
Rescue workers were having a difficult time digging out others under the rubble because the narrow streets around the factory made it tough to get heavy machinery to the site, said Naseer.

NORTH AMERICA U.S. diplomats leave Syria Embassy closes
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has closed the U.S. Embassy in Damascus and pulled all American diplomats out of Syria.
Officials say Ambassador Robert Ford and other diplomats left Syria on Monday. It's the most dramatic U.S. move so far after 11 months of a violent crackdown on dissent by President Bashar Assad's regime.
The State Department warned last month it would close the embassy unless Assad's government stepped up its protection. It cited concerns about the safety of personnel and recent car bombs.
The U.N. says Assad's crackdown has killed more than 5,400 people since March. The revolt began with mostly peaceful protests, but armed rebels are now increasingly fighting the regime.
The Obama administration has long demanded that Assad step down.
Brownback's meetings may violate law
GOVERNMENT
WIDW
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Gov. Sam Brownback raised issues such as tax cuts and water policy in private meetings with legislators at his official residence, several lawmakers said Monday, although their accounts differed about the details.
Some Republican legislators who attended one or more of the gatherings with the GOP governor described them as purely social events. But several of the dozen lawmakers interviewed Monday by The Associated Press said Brownback made remarks about substantive issues; one said the governor mentioned specific bills on water policy, while another recalled a back-and-forth with legislators on tax issues.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback answers questions from reporters as Sherriene Jones-Sontag, his communications director, watches, Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, at the Statehouse in Topeka, Kan. Brownback says he'll cooperate fully with a prosecutor's investigation into whether meetings he had with legislators at his official residence violated the state's open meetings law.
Brownback had seven meetings in January for Republicans on 13 legislative committees, and Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, a Democrat, is investigating whether the gatherings violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Taylor has said the legality of the meetings depends upon whether legislators discussed substantive legislative issues and how much interaction there was among them.
Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said Monday that the administration remains confident that the gatherings didn't violate the law. Brownback has gatherings scheduled Monday and Tuesday at Cedar Crest, his official residence, but the groups are bipartisan and don't appear to be tied to membership of specific
committees.
State Sen. Dick Kelsey, a Goddard Republican who attended a Jan. 18 dinner with members of the Senate tax and commerce committees, said lawmakers sat in a circle and heard remarks from Brownback about his plan for overhauling the individual income tax system. Kelsey said the legislators received assurances that they weren't violating the Open Meetings Act.
"The governor gave a
presentation about his tax plan, and various people asked questions and made comments", Kelsey said.
But Sen. Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican who attended the same gathering, remembered Brownback's remarks as "rather generic" and said that while one attendee commented about potential issues with the governor's plan, there was no back-and-forth. And Tax Committee Chairman Les Donovan, a
Wichita Republican, said he doesn't remember any business being discussed.
The Open Meetings Act generally prohibits a voting majority of a legislative body from discussing government business without giving the public notice or access to the meetings. Taylor has said the act does not apply to Brownback as an individual, and alleged violations are a civil matter, not a criminal one.

Google Fiber coming to Kansas City
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Google plans to begin construction Monday on its long-awaited super-speed Internet service in Kansas City, Kan.
Kevin Lo, the Google executive heading up the project, announced the start of construction on the company's Google Fiber Blog, according to The Kansas City Star. Google said it would install the fiber infrastructure first and then connect Google Fiber into homes across Kansas City.
"We've measured utility poles; we've studied maps and surveyed neighborhoods; we've come up with a comprehensive set of detailed engineering plans; and we've eaten way too much barbecue. Now, starting today, we're ready to lay fiber," Lo's blog post read.
The 1 gigabit-per-second Internet connection is expected to offer steady downloads about 100
Google had the choice of paying the normal fees for the same access as their potential Internet service competitors, or avoid the fees and take on added construction costs of operating in the electric supply space. Such an installation would have required using more specialized and highly paid linemen for the work, and likely costlier engineering work.
NATIONAL
Construction to erect a network had been snagged over issues about where Google would attach its fiber optic cables on the poles owned by the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities. The BPU is owned by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, which wrote the agreement that secured the Google Fiber project for Kansas City, Kan., beating out more than 1,000 communities vying for the service.
Suspect in Tucson shooting medicated
times faster than most Americans can get in their homes with existing broadband services.
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — A federal judge ruled Monday that the suspect
Loughner
in the Tucson shooting rampage that wounded former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords will spend four more months at a federal prison facility where officials are forcibly medicating him.
In making his decision, U.S. District Court Judge Larry
PENN STREET
Burns noted that Jared Lee Loughner has made marked improvement at the facility in Springfield, Mo., where he has participated in group therapy with other inmates and at times had coherent speech and steady eye contact with others.
"That in and of itself is a signal of measurable progress," Burns said, adding that when he first saw the suspect in court, "there was no way" he could have done that.
He has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges stemming from the Jan. 8, 2011, attack in Tucson that killed six people and injured 12 others, including Giffords, who resigned from Congress last month to focus on recovering from being shot in the head.
Mental health experts have determined that Loughner, 23, suffers from schizophrenia and are trying to make him fit to stand trial.
Loughner's attorneys have
vigorously fought the government efforts to medicate him with psychotropic drugs, although they did not object to the judge's decision Monday. Attorney Judy Clarke declined to comment after the hearing.
Since his arrest, Loughner has demonstrated bizarre behavior. He was removed from a May 25 court hearing after lowering his head to within inches of the courtroom table before lifting it and unleashing a loud and angry rant.
Loughner has been at the Missouri facility since May 28.
His federal psychologist Dr Christina Pietz said he still does not fully understand the nature and gravity of the charges against him, but she believes he will continue to improve.
Burns ordered officials at the facility to immediately call him if Loughner becomes competent at any time during the next four months. The suspect's psychologist is also required to give the court an update on his status no later than May 24.
Burns said he would review the status report before scheduling the next hearing. Loughner's current stay at the facility is set to expire on June 7.
The judge also agreed to allow the prosecution to see the psychologist's notes after the material has been reviewed by Loughner's attorney to remove any details that would compromise attorney-client privilege. Clarke promised to do that within a week's time.
Burns told attorneys that none of the details in the notes can be used against Loughner in court because "he's talking to her for the purpose of treatment."

Romney gains support from tea party activists
DENVER — Long skeptical of Mitt Romney, tea party activists are either warming up to the GOP presidential
front-runner or reluctantly back him after abandoning hope of finding a nominee they like better.
PARKER
Romney
Whatever the reason, the former Massachusetts
governor who is coming off of back-to-back victories in Florida and Nevada now is picking up larger shares of the tea party vote than he did when the Republican nomination fight began. And
that fact alone illuminates the struggles of the nearly three-year-old movement to greatly influence its first presidential race.
"We haven't gone away," insisted Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the national Tea Party Express. But, in the same breath, she acknowledged lower expectations and a shift in focus to Senate races over the White House campaign.
Tea party activists across the country entered their first presidential contest this year expecting to hold major sway over the Republican race following a 2010 congressional election year in which their favored candidates successfully knocked off a string of insiders in GOP primaries in Colorado and elsewhere.

NBC, NFL apologize for obscenity
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
The politically inclined pop star, whose real name is Maya Arulpragasam, flashed the middle finger when cameras briefly focused on her during Madonna's halftime show. "There was a failure in NBC's delay system," said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy in the league's official statement. "The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing,
LOS ANGELES — In early 1989 Madonna was the center of controversy over the religious imagery in the video for her "Like A Prayer." Twenty-two years later the song brought her Super Bowl halftime performance to an end with the all-together unifying message of "world peace," and it was her collaborator M.I.A. who was suddenly finding herself in the center of a media fracas.
and we apologize to our fans."
M. I.A.'s publicists at Interscope could not be reached for comment. However, a member of M.I.A.'s camp, speaking Sunday night from the Super Bowl host city of Indianapolis, said M.I.A. was struck with "a case of adrenaline."
"She wasn't thinking," said the source, who requested anonymity but was with the artist at Lucas Oil Stadium. "It wasn't any kind of statement. She was caught in the moment and she's incredibly sorry."
Madonna's longtime publicist Liz Rosenberg could not be reached for comment. A spokesperson for NBC said, "The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show. Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers."

'NCIS' to hit 200th-episode milestone
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
PASADENA, Calif. — The CBS drama "NCIS" will join a select group of prime-time TV shows Tuesday when it airs its 200th episode. Only 62 series — out of the thousands that have filled network and cable channels — have reached the milestone.
And "NCIS" shows no sign of slowing down. It's consistently the highest-rated drama in the weekly ratings and has 13.7 million Facebook fans. The popularity is global: It airs in more than 200 international markets and is heard in 20 different languages.
The show appeals to more than just older viewers. It has higher ratings with viewers ages 18-49 — a demographic advertisers love
So how does a series about the weekly exploits of a team of Navy investigators become such a hit?
— than "Glee." "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Office."
"NCIIS" is loaded with characters, from the gruff boss played by Harmon to the quirky lab rat brought to life by Pauley Perrette. Toss in a nerd (Sean Murray), a swaggering hero (Michael Weatherly), a suave British doctor (David McCallum) and a hot foreign agent (Cote de Pablo), and the show has a host of interesting places to go.
"I think, from the very beginning, we were a show that wasn't good enough to get all that noticed and wasn't bad enough to get canceled," Harmon says.
That might sound strange, but he has a point. TV shows that start as big hits have a tendency to fade quickly, such as "Twin Peaks" and "Glee." Series that start slowly rarely last past a few episodes, such as "The Playboy Club."
Series mark Star Harmon says it started with mediocrity.
Executive producer Gary Glassberg credits series creator Don Bellisario for establishing such a versatile character blueprint.
Because "NCIS" started out in the middle of the viewing numbers, the series had time to build a solid foundation of story lines and characters.
"There was a foundation that he started with, a brilliant
foundation of story and character that was there. And over the years we just sort of kept scratching the surface of it. And to be nine years into a show now and still have so much to work with is a real comment on what Don came up with to begin with," says Glasberg.
Weatherly has made the most of what Bellisario created with his character of Tony DiNozzo.
"I get, in one episode, to do crazy physical humor, an interrogation scene, and I get to kiss the girl and then have my pants fall down to my ankles and all of these things." Weatherly says. "Some shows, you hit your mark and bark. You show up, say your lines, wear the clothes, and reflect the light and don't make too
much trouble. And this is a show that's always growing and always searching"
"There are other things on this show more important than the size of your trailer, and it's always been about the work. I've felt that we've always, from the beginning, had control over nothing except what we did each day in the work, and I believe that remains the same," Harmon says. "I'm not confused at all at what it took to do this and that we're still here and doing it well and in some ways doing it better than we ever have before."
Harmon's not certain how long "NCIS" can keep growing and searching, but being the top rated show on TV makes it a lot easier to keep going.

College success depends on behavior
LIFESTYLE
Sometimes it feels as if our status as undergrads mirrors something like a parent-child relationship. Sometimes it can be a constant state of comply, comply, comply, grade and repeat. Whether it's the R.A., a professor, or a boss at a part-time job, it's about following the rules, getting your work done and listening to instructions.
Many times as undergrads it's tempting to see this relationship and focus on the more exciting parts of college life (i.e. most people's freshmen year). But through examining the behavior and habits of our undergraduate lives, it's clear that college should be a steppingstone for becoming a motivated and successful adult, not just another student who graduates.
Behavior: We all know the slippery slope of not doing homework, which can be in part explained by negative reinforcement. We typically don't do our homework until the looming due date becomes so pressing that we just want to get it done. Another example is if you miss the first assignment for a class and instead go out with your friends. Here, you are avoiding the unpleasant aspects of doing your homework and simultaneously being positively reinforced for having fun with friends.
This twofold reinforcement (positive and negative) can begin a chain of academic behavior that leads to an unpleasant semester. In most cases, you might feel guilt or a
bit of fear in not doing the second assignment, which also typifies negative reinforcement. This is a pattern that, if continued, will grow in strength as your behavior is reinforced each time you either procrastinate and finish at the last minute or not do at all. With academic behavior, we can either let the homework control our behavior or vice-versa.
By Michael Sofis
msofis@kansan.com
What to do about it: At the beginning of the semester, write down your schedule and your anticipated time needed for homework for each class. Start small, allot three hours per course per week and schedule the time you will complete that work. Keep a Microsoft Word file with these times and keep track with how often you keep or don't keep these times. Then find a friend or friends to keep you accountable for completing the time allotted for homework each week. It can also be great to give the group a reward each week whenever you complete your assignments (positive reinforcement).
Behavior: We all know college is a blast. And it should be. But wearing "college" t-shirts from Animal House is only cool for so long. It's great to have fun in college and do some things you might otherwise not do, but if you already are viewing college as the peak of your life, then that is very unfortunate. Having fun in college and simultaneously experiencing great life experiences are not mutually exclusive; it just depends on how you define fun.
Outside the classroom, it is also important to develop a behavior pattern of maturity and responsibility that will make you thrive postgraduation. My major, specialty area, and what I want to do postgraduation started with one such conversation. When I was junior, I took an Applied Behavior Science introductory course. I was fascinated with a lecture that covered an area of Behavior Analysis that used behavior principles in business settings. I made the decision to talk to the professor in a 100-student lecture hall. Since then, I have V-Lined straight to a major I love, worked two internships, and am exploring a myriad o' exciting post-graduation plans.
What to do about it: A good starting point is to make a point to strike up a conversation with a professor or GTA about your potential or current field of interest once a week. This not only helps you become aware of opportunities for undergrads but prepares you for conversing in a semi-professional context.
Increase your conversations to other professor in your field and occasionally look at potential job opportunities that you can discuss with those professors. Look at opportunities to gain experience through volunteer organizations, on-campus groups or unpaid internships. Don't let the behavior of your fellow students control your behavior, because who wants to be the norm?
As someone who's been in college longer than anticipated, I understand the temptation to not care about college. Unfortunately
though, it's not the 90s and job competition is sky high. Sometimes I tell myself when I'm slacking, "Mike, if you can't finish your work for these classes, how are you supposed to hold a real job?" And like the many students that came before us, we will probably graduate and get some sort of job, eventually. But we must ask ourselves, is that why we came to college, to be one of the many?

Giving aid to veterans
Whatever rhetoric you've been hearing lately, most know the economy is not where we want it to be. But amidst the public outcry, political bickering, and pure speculation, priorities have been rearranged. On one hand, we must cut some spending and reevaluate programs to find saving measures.
By Danielle Onions
donions@kansan.com
But in the hurry to balance the budget and get back on financial track, we must not allow for progress on significant problems to be lost. We can't allow numbers to trump individuals and the complexities of circumstance. We especially cannot watch the numbers we wish to see (lower expenditures and greater savings) come before the numbers we know.
This is what I know: our men and women in uniform are some of our nation's greatest resources. They do what most of us are unable or unwilling to do. They and their loved ones make sacrifices the rest of us find hard to imagine. And for that, our veterans deserve our respect, our gratitude and most certainly our attention. What I find hard to accept is that, according to the US Department of Veterans' Affairs, one-third of homeless adults are veterans.
In 2006, according to the Congressional Research Service, 196,000 veterans were homeless. New, expanded, and adapted programs (some part of the 2009 stimulus package), brought that number down to 67,000 in 2011. These programs included job training, psychological services and housing assistance. Most notably, success came despite the fact the Department of Veterans' Affairs spent just 0.7 percent of its budget on homeless outreach.
Now these programs, along with hundreds of other federal initiatives, may be on the chopping block when it comes time to set our next budget. To cut or reduce these programs would be a mistake fiscally; the money invested is clearly having the desired impact, as we have seen significant decreases in just a few years. Eliminating or reducing these programs would also likely be politically unwise in most districts, considering the bipartisan nature of support for veterans. The rhetoric so far has been positive, with the Obama Administration setting an admirable goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015.
Having spent a grand total of three weeks in Washington D.C..
I've learned nothing is guaranteed. Reliable isn't a word that gets thrown out around here often. But having grown up in Kansas, I know this: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And when it works, keep it up. That's what we did when we wrote the Restoring GI Bill Fairness Act into law so vets can continue their education. That's what we should do with the Veterans Opportunity to Work and Helping Our Homeless Veterans Acts.
These pieces of legislation don't just address the problems of joblessness or homelessness with money or vouchers but instead focus on underlying issue, like easier access to services, job trainings, transition classes and more. They provide veterans with the necessary tools to make a successful and productive shift into civil society.
Do these things cost money, in a time when money is scarce? Yes, but these investments will shift some cost burden from response services (shelters, financial assistance, rehabilitative services) to preventative services and create greater stability. The price these men and women paid demands we think in terms greater than just dollars and cents. In a time of pragmatism, we must look beyond in-the-now rhetoric for long term solutions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I was intrigued by Jon Samp's article "Dating gives men contradictory notions" because I felt it didn't take into consideration how the media warps women's expectations of relationships.
While watching Disney movies as a child, I fantasized about how my Prince Charming would one day sweep me off my feet. Now that I'm older, it's the romantic "chick flicks" that give me those same butterflies.
I watch as Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis become "Friends With Benefits," fall in love, break up, and then JT does this huge romantic gesture to win her back.
sure. But the heart-fluttering, Grand Central Station flash mob? What about in "Kate & Leopold" where he treats her as a true gentleman should - opening doors, walking her home, pulling her seat out for her at dinner, helping her put on or take off her jacket.
These movies give women expectations that most men find to be "dead" yet we still hold out and hope for them. Men, they're not dead. Sure, spending $50 on flowers that are just going to die at the end of next week may seem silly to you, but you can't begin to imagine how it makes us feel. These things make us feel like we're on top of the world, like opening the car door for us or actually coming to the door instead
Let's take a step back — does that ever really happen? I mean, the f-buddies and break up,
of texting to let us know you're there, or even worse — honking.
The way we feel after watching a "chick flick" is how we expect to feel after a date. We've come to expect the occasional feeling of being swept off our feet, or the more frequent feeling of butterflies that come when we see a sticky note on our desk that says, "Just thinking of you..."
These aren't unrealistic expectations - they're just higher standards. Need some tips? Watch a romance movie before your next date.

Students demand gender equality
On February 4, 1972, a group of women now known as the February Sisters took a stand for gender equality at the University of Kansas. In honor of the 40th anniversary of the February Sisters occupying Wescoe to demand better conditions for women on campus, students have been reevaluating gender-related rights at the University.
In order to raise awareness and increase involvement, students "occupied" Wescoe again this week and encouraged participation in the discussion on what the university needs today. The students involved have created a set of "modern" demands for gender equality.
A short outline of the demands is as follows:
1. A better education program about consent and healthy relationships for all students
2. Same sex partner benefits for faculty and staff
3. Paid maternity and paternity leave for faculty and staff
4. The inclusion of a gender-neutral restroom in all constructions or renovations on campus
5. More funding for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and the LGBT Resource Center
6. A firm commitment to funding domestic violence and sexual assault services for students
The most important thing to realize now is that the issues surrounding gender equality are not just about being a woman anymore. Many of these demands recognize 'the importance of providing rights on a level that is about more than strictly "women's" issues.
Men and women need to be afforded equal opportunity and need to be protected from discrimination no matter their gender, gender identity, sexuality, or their idea of masculinity, femininity, or anything in between. This is why it is vital, for example, that same sex partner benefits be made available instead of just certain spousal benefits, or that paternity leave also be available if maternity leave is available (as it should be).
Making these changes would
KU has a great opportunity to also provide a safer environment for all students with an education program on consent. It can be easy to assume we know what consensual sex is and what is "right" or "wrong" in a dating relationship, but some aspects of an unhealthy relationship or a nonconsensual sexual encounter can be subtle and less recognizable.
The university could positively impact a large portion of the student community by providing context and information about safer dating relationships for all. That coupled with a commitment to funding domestic violence and sexual assault services, not just for heterosexual women but for any gender identity and any sexuality, would make our campus significantly safer. Such dedication to safety in this area also allows for greater equality among genders.
I hope these demands are acted upon. Instead of simply saying we support gender equality and passively listing ways the University could make this happen, we should engage in conversations with University administration and show them how important these ideas are to our community.
It will take more than just a few active students to push these demands through. In order to make sure these conditions happen to make The University an even better place to be, all students must support these demands. Voicing your support will help ensure that we take the necessary steps to further gender equality.

Kansas puts losses behind to prepare for Texas
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
The Kansas women's basketball team is looking to end its three-game losing streak with a victory over Texas at Allen Fieldhouse. But despite their recent trouble, the Jayhawks are projected as an eight seed in the NCAA tourney by ESPN analyst Charlie Creme.
Kansas returns home after a 62-51 loss to No. 18 Texas A&M on Saturday. Before that, Kansas lost to Oklahoma 74-68 in overtime and was soundly defeated 74-46 by No. 1 Bavlar in Waco.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich said this is an important game for the Jayhawks, who fell to 16-6 and 5-5 in conference after Saturday's loss.
"With three losses we have to be hungry," Goodrich said. "We need a win and we've got to go in hungry, ready to go and focused."
Goodrich and senior forward Aishah Sutherland each led the Jayhawks with 11 points against the Aggies. Junior guard Monica Engelman joined them in double figures with 10 points.
Kansas struggled against the ball pressure of Texas A&M and finished the game with 20 turnovers.
"We're playing hard, but turnovers are affecting us right now," Sutherland said.
The Jayhawks fell behind 8-0 early, but brought the deficit to four points with less than a minute to go. But they could not pull off the victory in College Station.
"We have to come down on defense and get stops and once we get stops that gives us momentum to go score on offense," Goodrich said.
K an s as coach Bonnie Henrickson said some of the Jayhawks' problems were caused by the pressure but others were because of passive play.
"We made bad decisions on passing and then
With Goodrich in foul trouble by the end of the first half, sophomore guard CeCe Harper stepped up to contribute more on both offense and defense. She tallied five points, five rebounds and matched a season-high 24 minutes played. Harper also had three steals and three assists.
"I thought CeCe was aggressive and played confidently and defensively," Henrickson said.
Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner has also been increasing her playing time for the Jayhawks. She has played more than 10 minutes in three of the last four games.
With three losses, we have to be hungry. We need a win and we've got to go in hungry, ready to go and focused."
we've got three or four offensive fouls," Henrickson said.
ANGEL GOODRICH junior guard
She is used sparingly because she comes off the bench for junior forward Carolyn Davis and senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who both play nearly 35 minutes a game. Against Texas A&M, Gardner bit both
her shots and pulled down two rebounds in 10 minutes.
"I thought both of those brought some energy and some productivity off the bench," said Henrickson.
But now, Kansas turns its attention to Texas, a team it defeated earlier in the season, for a much needed series sweep.
"Got to beat Texas," Henrickson said. "It's a great opportunity."
Goodrich led the Jayhawks with 22 points when they defeated the No. 23 Longhorns 72-67 in Austin on Jan. 4. Engelman, Davis and Sutherland joined her in double figures to give the Jayhawks a five point victory.
Beyond the immediate impact of ending a three game losing streak, Sutherland said every game becomes more important as the Jayhawks look to land a place in the NCAA Tournament.
"This Texas game is very important," Sutherland said. "We need to win four more games. We need to win multiple games to get into the tournament."

Jayhawks look forward to spring after Hawaii Invitational
CORBIN MILHELIC editor@kansan.com
After a rough outing at the Hawaii Invitational last month, the Kansas women's tennis team will look to start spring dual play strong in its match against UMKC.
"We definitely have high expectations coming into our first match," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "[We're] just coming in and making sure we're all ready and kind of looking forward to playing somebody other than our teammates."
Junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Paulina Los will
highlight the match as the No. 42-ranked doubles team in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association preseason rankings. Pezzotti and Los went 10-1 in doubles play during the fall.
"I think we need to forget about Hawaii and just start thinking about this season," Pezzotti said. "We have been working on our game and our attitude and I think we are ready for tomorrow."
Sophomore Dylan Windom is also expected to keep playing at a high level after going 3-0 in Hawaii in singles play. Windom and doubles partner senior Ekaterina Morozova
had an impressive fall season. They became the first Jayhawks in more than two decades to qualify for the ITA All-American Championship main draw.
Another storyline of the match against UMKC is the debut of freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Ludueña, a native of Curicó, Chile, said she is still getting used to several things about playing tennis in the United States, including the hard court surface.
"It's a little different because in my country we play on clay courts," Ludueña said. "Here we play on hard court and it's more fast, so
I need to play differently. I think it's different, but it's good and I prefer it."
Hall-Holt spoke highly of Ludueña and believes she will help the team's overall competitiveness.
"She's going to add a lot of competition, drive and a lot of excitement to our lineup," Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks take on UMKC at 4 p.m. today at the Jayhawk Tennis Center, the first of six home dual matches over the next 12 days.

THE MORNING BREW Early released commercials lose luster
For some viewers, the highlight of watching the Super Bowl doesn't take place on the field; they couldn't care less about who wins. Instead, it comes in the commercial breaks where companies spend millions of dollars coming up with ways to cleverly pitch their products.
This year I noticed something that disturbed me; some companies released their commercials the week before they would air in the Super Bowl.
The whole fun of the Super Bowl commercials is that moment of shock and surprise when the commercial hits its punch line.
When the commercial is released before the game, the shock is lessened and the reactions are not nearly as genuine because everyone knows what's coming.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
This year, I ran across two commercials that were released before the game. Initially, I thought I could avoid them but soon learned that was harder than expected when a teacher showed Honda's recreation of Ferris Bueller in class.
I found that the second time around, Matthew Broderick could not hold my attention as well as some of the other spots. I enjoyed the parody of a movie that I always flip to when I see it on the channel guide, but I already knew what
to expect.
The same thing happened with Jerry Seinfeld's Acura ad. As much as I enjoyed Seinfeld muttering "Leno" in the same tone that he used to frequently say "Newman" on his show, it wasn't the same as the first time around.
When companies release their Super Bowl commercials before the game, it generates buzz as people rush to see what they hope is a cleverly conceived commercial. Websites such as Yahoo. com run a story on them with the ad embedded on their front page in the hope of getting clicks.
But the fact is these commercials just weren't the same the second time around because they don't have the same rewatchability factor due to their brevity, except for the rare exception that transcends to another level. For example, I enjoyed the 2010 NFL.com commercial
KU
featuring "Home" by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros because it reminds me of my favorite time of year — the beginning of football season.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling this trend of releasing commercials ahead of time will continue, especially in the Internet age where nothing can be kept under wraps, but with increased scrutiny surrounding them, the quality will only improve.

Do not blame the refs
COMMENTARY
Following Kansas' 74-71 loss to Missouri on Saturday, the late charge calls on Robinson and Taylor became the major talking points of the game. With fewer than two minutes remaining, Robinson's basket would have given Kansas a 73-66 lead, all but locking up an emotional victory over rival Missouri.
Offensive foul. No basket.
Thomas Robinson caught the ball at the top of the key with 1:46 remaining. He saw a lane to the basket and decided to attack it. Robinson drop-stepped into a spin move around Missouri's Steve Moore and made the shot as Moore hit the hardwood. Two emphatic blows of the referee's whistle broke the collective silence in Mizzou Arena.
As questionable as that charge call may have been, the officiating did not cost Kansas the victory, but rather the Jayhawks completely mismanaged the final three minutes of a game they controlled.
Kansas led 71-63 with three minutes to play, but ending the game on four turnovers and no points is no way to close out an opponent on the road.
TENNIS MOVES PAST HAWAII
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Kansas should know better than anyone that an eight-point lead in the final minutes is not insurmountable by any means. After all, the ninepoint comeback with two minutes left in regulation against Memphis ultimately captured Kansas' 2008 National Championship.
Kansas could have limited Missouri's possessions by using time, but rather the overaggressive play both offensively and defensively led to turnovers and lapses in perimeter defense.
Similar to Memphis' inability to hold off Kansas in 2008, Kansas let the moment get the best of them, venturing away from the composed play that got them an eight-point lead in the first place.
With Missouri leaving for the Southeastern Conference next season, the Missouri faithful had one last opportunity to take out a 171-loss frustration on the Jayhawks. Kansas is no stranger to hostile environments, but the first 37 minutes of the game at Mizzou Arena was a relatively tame atmosphere.
The moment Denmon hit a contested three-point shot over Conner Teahan to cut Kansas' lead to 71-69, Mizzou Arena's crowd erupted as the noise level reached Allen Fieldhouse proportions.
Those who want to place the blame squarely on Saturday's officiating should realize that Missouri earned that victory, capitalizing on Kansas' mistakes, not the referee's.
Instead of looking to attack the basket early in the shot clock, Kansas should have used as much time as possible before attempting to shoot. The game clock was Kansas' best friend in the waning moments of the contest, and they did not take advantage of that asset. Had the Jayhawks used up the shot clock, it would have been much harder for Missouri to come back.

A pitcher never takes for granted the fact that any given pitch can be his last.
As a senior tri-athlete at Maize High School, Kansas pitcher Jordan Jakubov received a perseverance奖 after overcoming a series of football-related injuries. Now in his fifth season with the Kansas baseball program, that same resolve enabled Jakubov to overcome a strenuous climb to captaincy.
Jakubov's Kansas career nearly ended before it ever had the chance to begin.
With his arrival in Lawrence just months away, Jakubov began to experience elbow pain beyond
the regular soreness associated with pitching.
"I blew it out in early June, and they didn't think anything was wrong." Jakubov said. "They told me to keep tossing and try going to 90 feet, but every time I threw a changeup, it really killed me. They
say a changeup is when you know you need surgery."
W he n Jakubov went to see a doctor for an X-ray, a torn ulnar collateral ligament confirmed his
Because of the 18-month rehabilitation from "Tommy John," Jakubov knew his freshman season at Kansas would not happen on time. Jakubov redshirted in 2008, and despite having never pitched a game for Kansas, head coach Ritch Price honored Jakubov's scholar-
concerns, requiring a procedure commonly known as "Tommy John surgery."
"There are very few kids in America who have experienced one - let alone two - Tommy John surgeries and are still out there grinding every day."

Jakubov entered his second year at Kansas ready for a fresh start. However, after a strong fall season with the Jayhawks,
want to hear this Christmas gift, but we're going to have to repair your UCL again.' I re-tore it," Jakubov said.
After working tirelessly for 18 months to get healthy from his first surgery, Jakubov was once again required to undergo the same, lengthy road to recovery.
"His perseverance is amazing," Price said. "There are very few kids in America who have experienced one - let alone two - Tommy John surgeries and are still out there grinding every day."
Jakubov has spent three years of his life working to get back on the pitcher's mound, but it was the loyalty of his head coach that enabled Jakubov to remain a Javhawk.
"I have the utmost respect
for Coach Price just from that," Jakubov said. "The fact that he kept me on and let me keep my scholarship says a lot about Coach Price - he's a man of his word."
Now completely healthy and experiencing no pain, Jakubov is not dwelling on what could have been, but rather he said that the entire ordeal has given him a new perspective on the mental approach to baseball.
"I think honestly it's helped me stay positive," Jakubov said. "That's for sure."
With each pitch launched to home this season, Jakubov will do what he's done his whole baseball career:
Persevere.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Withey struggles against smaller players
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Kansas has something that Missouri doesnt; a seven-footer.
Going into Saturday's game, coach Bill Self envisioned that seven-footer, junior center Jeff Withey, as a potential advantage against Missouri's quick but diminutive rotation.
In Withey's 23 minutes played against the Tigers, a team whose tallest player is six-foot-nine, he grabbed four rebounds and didn't score a point. Withey's ineffectiveness by the basket enabled Missouri to shift its attention solely to junior forward Thomas Robinson, who scored only six points in the first half because he struggled to manage double-teams.
"We were forced to play small because Jeff wasn't a factor," Self said.
So much for that idea.
"If Jeff's not a factor, then you've basically guarded Thomas with Jeff's man." Self said.
Withey recorded his second foul
with 9:36 left in the first half and Self kept him out of the game until the second half. With its tallest player on the bench, Missouri pushed Kansas to play to its style; a fast and athletic game.
Self attributed Missouri's defensive game plan to some of Withey's struggles. He said that the Tigers ignored shooters on the perimeter and chose to clog the lanes by the basket. This made it more difficult for Withey to find room to score, and for the guards to get him the ball.
"I like playing against guys my size a lot more than playing against a bunch of guards". Withey said.
When Withey did have the ball, he said that the smaller Tigers were able to get in front of him faster than most post defenders.
"You can usually use a swim move on a forward, but when boxing out a guard, they are at your knees," he said. "You don't expect it and it kind of takes your legs out from under you."
When Withey sat on the bench
Self had no choice but to overwork his other starters. Senior guard Tshawn Taylor played 38 minutes, Robinson played 35 and junior guard Elijah Johnson played a full 40. Junior guard Travis Releford played 29 only because of foul trouble. The demand on the starters is compounded with the fact that the bench is averaging just 13 percent of the team's points per game.
"Our guys have to be ready to play 32 to 35 minutes a game," Self said of his starters. "That's the fact of the matter."
Self is talking about Withey, too. He expects more out of the seven-footer who he said has been a match-up advantage one game and an unassertive liability the next.
Edited by Jeff Karr
"Their match-up didn't take advantage of us," Self said, "but our matchup certainly didn't take advantage of them."

ACTIVISM AND FEMINISM
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
In the fall of 1971, Angela Davis received a letter from the leaders of a rally for women's reproductive rights. The leaders asked her if she would write a statement about abortion. Her words would be read aloud at the rally in San Francisco, on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge from Marin County Jail, where Davis was incarcerated on charges of involvement in the "Marin shoot out."
Davis passionately believed in the right to abortion, but her statement said more. She talked about Native American women who were forcibly sterilized and Puerto Rican women who were used as guinea pigs for experimental birth-control pills.
Davis' statement, which discussed far more than abortion, was never read.
"You've heard about single-issue campaigns," Davis said Tuesday evening in 120 Budig Hall. "Right?"
Davis, with her iconic atro still intact, spoke before a full lecture hall and enunciated her belief in comprehensive feminism.
"I cannot talk about abortion rights in isolation from these other issues," she said.
Feminism, Davis said, encompasses more than advocating gender equality. It focuses on social classifications, challenges bigotry and advises good health.
Davis also discussed LGBT rights, pointed subjects in a state like Kansas.
"We government is really fond of ruining those rights here," said Emma Halling, a sophomore from Elkhart, Ind.
'Halling said that Davis' words inspire her to share her views with others who would rather leave Kansas than fix it.
Beth Meyers, a broadcast engineer from Hoisington who attended the speech, said Davis influenced her to find a job that didn't include waitressing or nursing.
"Women were supposed to smile bake casseroles and have barefoot babies," Meyers said. "She was not about any of that."
Since her time in Marin County, Davis has declared herself a prison abolitionist. She said that prisons harbor and create the same wrongs they aim to punish.
"Prison" she said, "deposits people with problems we don't want to think about."
Nichole Flynn, a freshman from Hutchinson, said she lives near three large prisons but they aren't a part of her everyday life.
"There'a a large prison two blocks away from where I've lived for the past six years," she said. "I've never thought about them."
Flynn said that after hearing Davis speak, she's interested in learning more about the prisoners who have quietly bordered her town.
Andrew Mechler, the coordinator of social issues for Student Union Activities and a sophomore from Shawnee, said that he helped bring Davis to the University because Davis catalyzes thought, regardless of her specific stance on the subjects she discusses.
"You're going to have some type of opinion when you walk away from her," Mechler said.

KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Gasping breaths are the only punctuation in the rapid-fire stream of Mark Wilkins' carefully researched words.
Wilkins, a senior from Topeka, is currently part of the 15th-best debate duo in the nation, a ranking that comes with prestige — and pressure. Only the top 16 teams are automatically invited to the National Debate Tournament, so he needs to hold on to his position.
Last week, the KU debate team moved up in the national rankings, becoming the second-best team in the nation and continuing an impressive tradition. Over the years, the University has produced five national championship teams, multiple Final Four teams and has consistently been ranked in the top 10.
Melanie Campbell, a junior from Lenexa, began her debate career as a sophomore at Shawnee Mission West High School in Overland Park. After attending a debate camp at the University, she decided to continue debating by participating at the collegiate level.
"I suck at sports really bad, so the alternative was band or debate," Campbell said.
"There's some weeks where that's obviously less, and I have four tests and I'm like 'I should probably not fail out of school,"
Competitive collegiate debaters put in 30 to 40 hours of research each week, Campbell said.
Campbell said.
Each year, the college debate community settles on a single topic. This year's topic is whether or not the United States government should provide democracy assistance to Middle Eastern countries. Because the topic is so timely, students always have something new to research, which plays a huge role in debate.
Technically, the debate season lasts from September to March, but debaters don't get a true break: A new topic is announced in May, requiring them to begin the cycle of research again.
"It's a lot of hard work from a lot of students over a lot of years." Harris said. "We have smart students who work very hard, which is the key to success."
The constant research is paired with weekend tournaments where debaters argue for two hours at a time in at least 10 debates, assuming that they advance beyond the preliminaries. Debaters don't even get a break from researching during tournaments, because they have to rework their arguments based on their upcoming competition's strategy. The final debate in a tournament often doesn't begin until after midnight on the final day, said Scott Harris, the team's coach for the past 21 years.
Strong high school debate programs throughout the state also help by giving the University a big base of talent, Harris said.
"Harris is 53 years old, but he has the passion of someone
Wilkins credits Harris with the team's success.
The National Debate Tournament takes place next month, and Wilkins acknowledges he is starting to feel the effects of the season.
Harris agrees that debaters have to be very self-motivated and truly love debate to get the most out of the experience.
“There’s certainly a love-hate relationship that happens this time of year,” Wilkins said. “I have the passion for learning more about the topic, but also I hate losing a lot, and I hate seeing the other team be successful at my expense. I think that's a lot of my motivation to do well.”
"It's not something that comes with a lot of external reward," he said. "There's no crowd that greets you when your plane lands at the airport. You have to enjoy what you're doing."
Harris said his team has the talent to beat any other squad in the nation, but luck plays a certain role in victories just as it would in any sport.
"When you're debating against the best teams in the country, anybody can win any given debate," Harris said. "It's just a matter of being prepared, executing your preparation and being lucky when things come down."

"I like yoga because it's relaxing and it allows you to stretch out a lot," Dempsey said.

Only 15 cycles are available for each class, which are offered every day at different times. Students can sign up for spots at Recreation.ku.edu.

Westar complies with Clean Air Act standards
The mercury and air toxic standards, put into action by the Environmental Protection Agency last month, is the most significant piece of environmental legislation approved by the Obama administration so far.
The rules, which impose strict emission limits on coal-fired power plants in Lawrence and elsewhere, are drawing fire from those on the right who predict an increase in the cost of electricity and an overall loss of jobs.
In accordance with the new standards, Westar Energy will install new emissions-control technologies at the Lawrence Energy Center, the company's Lawrence-based power plant, which provides electricity to the University. The installations will reduce emissions of mercury and other acid gases deemed hazardous to public health, particularly to young children and the elderly.
The standards fall under the Clean Air Act and are designed to drastically reduce the emissions of heavy metals and acid gases suspected of causing cancer and other adverse health effects. According to a fact sheet released on the EPAs website, coal-fired power plants are the nation's No.1 source of mercury pollution.
Westar has already started in stalling some of the required pollution control technologies at the Lawrence Energy Center, which will help the company comply with the new standards, said Bill Eastman, director of Environmental Services at Westar.

Britons celebrate Charles Dickens
LONDON — He wrote about life in the modern city, with its lawyers and criminals, bankers and archins, dreamers and clerks. He created characters still known to millions — Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim, Pip and Miss Havisham, Fagin and Oliver Twist. And it made him a star, mobbed by fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
"You only have to look around our society and everything he wrote about in the 1840s is still relevant," said Dickens' biographer, Claire Tomalin. "The great gulf between the rich and poor, corrupt financiers, corrupt Members of Parliament ... You name it, he said it."
Britain on Tuesday marked the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, the first global celebrity author and chronicler of a world of urban inequality that looks a lot like the one we live in today.
Dickens' mistrust of the wealthy and compassion for the poor haven't stopped him being embraced by Britain's high and mighty.
Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, joined Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, actor Ralph Fiennes, a host of dignitaries and scores of Dickens' descendants at a memorial service Tuesday in London's Westminster Abbey.
TECHNOLOGY
KU departments build smaller microscope
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
The University's electrical engineering and chemistry departments, two different disciplines within academia, are collaborating to develop new microscope technology. The project hopes to advance technology in the media field
Johnson

"This is an example of multidisciplinary research that brings different techniques and expertise together to do something neither of us could do alone," said Carey Johnson, professor of chemistry and collaborator with the project.
The research project aims to improve the technology used to image organic molecules while reducing the cost and increasing
the portability of the equipment.
Only half a dozen microscope laser systems exist in the country, costing as much as $500,000 each, and they have little or no maneuverability. However, the University's project aims to reduce the laser system to shoebox size, allowing for easy mobility.
Peter Adany, a graduate student from Lawrence, is working on the project as part of his doctoral studies in electrical engineering, which he hopes to finish next semester. Unlike many of his fellow engineering graduate students, Adany took science classes outside the engineering curriculum to expand his crossdisciplinary knowledge.
"Having a broader perspective means I'm more broadly prepared," Adany said. "If I'm faced with a problem, there's more of a chance I will have seen this before and know to approach solving it."
Rongqing Hui, professor of electrical engineering, co-sponsor of the microscope project and Adany's adviser, also sees the benefits of cross-disciplinary studies.
The key, Hui said, is to have a common understanding of the language used to describe the scientific phenomenon. Hui's fiberoptic expertise has generally been applied to Internet technologies, but in this project, it could ultimately be used to image brain tissue. This would make it easier for doctors and medical researchers to get a clearer picture of the human brain.
"Different disciplines have overlap, but they use different terminologies," Hui said.
"Collaboration is important because you can utilize your knowledge to solve important problems for other disciplines." Hui said.

Bomb blasts injure soldiers outside Nigerian capital
LAGOS, Nigeria — Bombs exploded Tuesday at two major military bases on the outskirts of a central Nigerian city at the heart of ethnic and religious unrest in Africa's most-populous nation, injuring an unknown number of people.
The attacks came as a radical Islamist sect, known as Boko Haram, launches increasingly bloody attacks on Nigeria's weak central government. No one immediately claimed Tuesday's bombings, though suspicions quickly fell on the sect, even as state-run television aired a purported video Tuesday from the group claiming it welcomed peace talks with the government.
Maj. Gen. Raphael Isa, an army spokesman, said in a statement that one of the suicide bombers was dressed in a military uniform. Soldiers guarding the gate opened fire on the man, who died from gunshot wounds.
It was unclear how many people were wounded in the attacks, though witnesses said they saw injured soldiers wearing blood-drenched uniforms after the blasts.
The blasts struck at the Nigerian army's 1st Mechanized Division headquarters and the training command of the Nigerian air force near Kaduna, officials said. Soldiers and security agencies quickly shut down access to the two areas, with some seizing the cameras of working journalists.

New prime minister, new government in Romania
BUCHAREST, Romania — Romania's newly appointed prime minister began talks Tuesday to form a new government after the previous one collapsed following protests over austerity measures and declining living standards.
Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, a former foreign minister and former head of Romania's foreign intelligence service, was appointed by President Traian Basescu late Monday.
Emil Boc, who had been prime minister since 2008, said he resigned Monday "to defuse political and social tension" after thousands of Romanians took to the streets in January to protest salary cuts, higher taxes and the perception the government did not care about the hardships faced by many in this nation of 22 million.
Romanians are growing increasingly angry about widespread cuts the government instituted to get a $26-billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the World Bank in 2009. The government needed the money to help pay salaries and pensions after its economy shrank more than 7 percent during the global credit crunch.

Venezuela's first presidential primary to choose strongest Chavez opponent
CARACAS, Venezuela Outmatched time and again at the polls by Pres. Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan's opposition leaders are trying a new strategy to unseat the populist leader this year, holding the nation's first presidential primary to choose the strongest challenger.
first presidential primary to choose the strongest challenger.
The front-runner in Sunday's election is Henrique Caprilas, a 39-year-old state governor who has won a large following as a youthful alternative to the 57-year-old Chavez. Caprilas has crowd appeal that makes him a formidable adversary.
Other contenders range from Pablo Perez, a popular state governor, to Maria Corina Machado, a congresswoman who is the most forceful in her criticisms of Chavez and his effort to bring socialism to Venezuela.
Chavez saw his popularity grow after a failed 2002 coup, swept a 2005 congressional vote boycotted by the opposition and won re-election in 2006 with 63 percent of the vote. Since then, though, his popularity has slipped as ills such as crime, inflation, and problem-riddled public services have taken a toll.

Federal court rejects Californian ban on same-sex marriage
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court struck down Proposition 8 on Tuesday, finding that California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional because it deprives gay and lesbian couples of the equal right to wed.
With a decision that pushes the gay marriage issue a step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
upheld former San Francisco Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, who invalidated Proposition 8 in 2010 after conducting an unprecedented trial.
"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples," Judge Stephen Reinhardt
wrote, joined by Judge Michael Daly Hawkins.
Proposition 8 backers can now ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case with an 11-judge panel, or proceed directly to the Supreme Court. Smith's dissent could be a strong indicator there will be some
Judge N. Randy Smith dissented, saying there were "legitimate governmental interests" in restricting the definition of marriage to a union between a man and woman.
support within the court to take a second look at the case.
The appeals court also rejected the argument that Walker's ruling should be scrapped because he did not disclose he was in a long-term same-sex relationship while he was handling the case. Smith joined in that part of the ruling.
As a result of the continued legal wrangling, same-sex marriages are not expected to resume in California any time soon, with
further appeals likely to stretch at least into next year.
Attorney General Kamala Harris, who refused to defend the law in the 9th Circuit, called the decision a "victory for fairness."
And California Gov. Jerry Brown, who also has refused to defend Proposition 8, issued a statement saying the ruling is "a powerful affirmation of the right of same-sex couples to marry"
The appeals court's ruling marks
another setback for gay marriage opponents, who passed Proposition 8 in 2008 by a 52 to 48 percent margin.

"In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope that we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighborliness, examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign."
Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain praised the queen's "magnificent service," thanking her for guiding the nation with "dignity and quiet authority."
"Always dedicated, always resolute and always respected, she is a source of wisdom and continuity," Cameron said. "All my life, and for the lives of

Many praised the queen for her steadfastness and quiet sense of duty. She and Philip have persevered, refusing to cut back on their official duties until very recently, despite their advancing years, and they have avoided the marital dramas that have buffeted their children. Three of the couple's four children had their first marriages in divorce.

Eastwood's Super Bowl ad generates debate
DETROIT — People rarely pick a fight with Dirty Harry. But Chrysler's "Halftime in America" ad featuring quintessential tough guy Clint Eastwood has generated fierce debate about whether it accurately portrays the country's most economically distressed city or amounts to a campaign ad for Pres. Barack Obama and the auto bailouts.
The two-minute ad holds up Detroit as a model for American recovery while idealistic images of families, middle class workers and factories scroll across the screen.
"People are out of work and they're hurting," the 81-year-old Eastwood says in his trademark gravelly voice.

Actor wants 'average' roles
LOS ANGELES _ Johnny Galeecki seeks to be average.
The star of "The Big Bang Theory" is seated outside a small Hollywood restaurant, talking about
his longing to play ordinary. run-of-the mill figures rather than the larger-than-life characters that actors and audiences sometimes embrace.
Galecki
Dustin Hoffman and Jack Lemmon have always been my leading men," said the 36-year-old, leather jacket-clad actor, who minutes before was crushing the butt of a luxury cigarette with his scuffed combat boot. "Those are my guys. I know there's something to be said for the leading men who veer more toward action and stuff like that_ the John Waynes, the Harrison Fords and guys like them. But my acting heroes were the guys that men might not necessarily aspire to be because they already are them. That's what (Hoffman and Lemmon) represented to me and that's what I want to try to help carry a torch for in my career."
"Guys like
The relay is in full effect. Fondly remembered for his supporting role on "Roseanne" as Darlene's wishy-washy boyfriend, David, Galecki has quietly moved to the forefront of an one of the stars of "The Big Bang Theory," playing an average nerd named Leonard. But there's nothing average about the CBS sitcom's performance: The series, now in its fifth season and past the 100-episode mark, is up 17 percent to an average of 15.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen. A key factor in the rise is its run in syndication on local stations and cable outlet TBS, which has helped to widen its exposure. In recent weeks, it has even managed to beat behemoth "American Idol" in the coveted 18-49 demographic.
“Putting it simply: It’s amazing,” Galecki said of the gain over “Idol.” “It’s really shocking to me. I mean, 'Idol' is event television, it’s not something people really Tivo. I'm not sure how we got here. I almost don't want to question it. It only raises the bar for us. None of us feel like, 'Oh, we can relax.' But can you imagine what would happen if we had Jennifer Lopez on our show?”
In addition to the ratings success of "Big Bang Theory," its stars have also been riding a
wave of awards recognition in recent years. Jim Parsons, who plays the fussy geek opposite Galecki in the series, is a two-time Emmy champ. And Galecki finally broke the barrier, nabbing an Emmy nomination last year and a Golden Globe nomination this year for his character, the Cal Tech professor caught up in an onoing onagain-off-again relationship with his hot neighbor Penny (played by Kaley Cuoco).
His work ethic would get exponentially stronger when he was brought onto the fourth season of "Roseanne," which was already an established powerhouse on ABC when he joined in 1992. It was then that he figured out what it meant to bring a character to life.
His former boss was impressed with him, and what was supposed to be one episode turned into many seasons. "I knew he would do well in TV, and that's why I kept him on my show year after year," Barr said via e-mail. "He is very focused on succeeding and can navigate his way through Hollywood's twists and turns."

Brownback's tax plan is bad news for students
Gov. Brownback's tax plan must be opposed.
Senate Minority Leader
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley called the plan "Robin Hood in Reverse", saying that Brownback's plan steals from the poor to give to the rich.
Under the plan, taxpayers who make less than $25,000 a year would see an annual average increase of $156 in income-taxes. Inversely, those who make in excess of $250,000 will see a significant decrease in taxes, an average of $5,200 yearly.
Most students currently fall into the lowest tax bracket, which will be hit the hardest on income taxes should this plan pass. Even as we enter into the job market, few students will make enough money starting out to benefit from the cuts to the wealthiest bracket's income taxes.
There are about 21,000 taxpayers in Kansas who make $250,000 or more. There are far more people in the category being burdened in this plan, as more than half a million workers make less than $25,000, including most working students at the University.
The average salary for 2011 graduates, according to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employees, is around $50,000.
Brownback has defended his tax plan by saying it lowers the rate for all taxpayers. He has called the plan "fairer, flatter and simpler."
In opposition to Brownback's statement, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy has stated that this tax plan would "actually make the Kansas tax structure more unfair."
While the plan does lower rates for all brackets, what the governor does not account for is the elimination of various credits and deductions that are heavily relied on by
Those in charge often have the money and resources necessary to benefit from tax breaks like this and mold their tax plans for their own good.
Mitt Romney has proposed the same tax plan on the national level. This is another example of the rich-getting-richer, poor-getting-poorer government policies that have become commonplace in America.
The governor's tax plan isn't just bad for students and bad for the working poor, but it's also bad for the state. According to analysis
provided by the Kansas Revenue Department, the highest tax bracket cumulatively will pay $110 million less in taxes annually. Those on the low end, as a whole, will pay $88.2 million more, meaning that this tax plan nets a loss of $21.8 million in income-tax revenue for the state.
middle- and lower-class citizens.
As students, as current or future workers and as residents of the state, we have a duty to oppose a plan that seems to only benefit the very wealthy minority.
As a state desperately trying to balance our budget, how does it make sense to pass a tax plan that is not only unfair to lower class citizens, but would also cut off $22.8 million in income-tax revenue?
Find your state legislators, and contact them. Let them know that promoting further division between the classes will not stimulate economic growth. If you work in Kansas, but are not a resident, contact any legislator and tell them you oppose this bill. Let your voices be heard.

Defining a hometown hero
Wichita, KS is a small city two hours south of Lawrence, made up of less than 500,000 people. I spent my first 19 years of my life calling it home. I had friends move in and friends move out, but they all said the same thing: "This place sucks."
Donavan Johnson, a Wichita native, disagrees.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Johnson, or better known for his stage name XV, is a rapper who signed with Warner Bros. Records in July 2010. With his latest release, a mix-tape titled "Zero Heroesm," XV shows his love for his hometown by dedicating the opening track to Wichita. For someone who has constantly seen people bash his hometown, I was absolutely ecstatic knowing one of my Wichita brethren was willing to step up and support his hometown.
While currently on the Midwest State of Mind tour, XV came to Lawrence in mid-January to showcase his love for Kansas. He is taking his high-energy show across the Midwest to prove to the world that Wichita can produce something more than sighs from its inhabitants.
while setting up his own genre in the wide range of rap music. XV doesn't want to be the same rapper you hear on the radio everyday; he wants to make a place for himself.
XV uses his self-claimed "Squarian" persona ("square" as in lame or loser) to bring nerd and hip-hop culture together
He's a kid from south central Kansas with a nice flow and an uncanny ability to reference pop culture in his lyrics while getting everyone to get up and dance. Most rap artists like to act tough and rap about girls, money, and weapons. XV isn't like that; he likes to rap about video games, and having a good time (and girls).
XV has found a lot of recent success, as his single "Awesome" has been featured on Verizon Wireless commercials and is apart of the playlist on the 2K Sports video game "NBA 2K12". His full-length album is set to come out in the summer, titled "The Kid With the Green Backpack". He's making his way up through the hiphop underground scene, and is a growing star that you should keep
an eye out for.
I could not be more proud that a man from my hometown is taking the world by storm, and represents Wichita as much as he can. If there is one thing I learned growing up in Wichita, it's that the people make the place. And while many want to get out and claim that Wichita sucks, they need to realize what they are really talking about. XV understands this, and he shows that his city that made him deserves a little more respect.
Wichita has had it's fair share of very famous people who have succeeded in their profession of choice (Barry Sanders, Darnell Valentine, Lynette Woodard, etc.), but to have a hometown hero represent his city every chance he gets is a different story. I listen to the "Zero Heroes" mix-tape, and realize the greatness that Wichita can produce. Once people move away, they tend to forget their hometowns help make who they are. But because of XV, all of those same people that claimed Wichita sucks have a little bit of a newfound respect for their city, and now they are saying something else in regards to Wichita: "Awesome."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Mr. Obermeier's article on Feb.6 regarding the provisional conscience clause of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act attacks freedom of religion while pretending to defend it, a duality often seen in those with personal religious agendas.
Mr. Obermeier's argument seems to be that the rights of those who care for others are more important than those who are being cared for. Namely, that people should be denied the services and care they desire because the provider doesn't believe in their use.
By ensuring that birth control measures are available to all, the country can protect the religious rights of minority religious groups in otherwise heavily mono-religious areas.
What right does a Catholic drugstore owner (hypothetically the only provider of drugs in a small community) have to deny a Protestant customer
While Mr. Obermeier makes the point that it is unfair for the Catholic to have to carry the birth control, he neglects to mention how unfair it would be for the customer to not have access to it.
The measures Mrs. Sebelius and her team are suggesting do not force the use of the birth control upon Catholics; it simply enforces their availability to people who desire them.
Religious freedom is important, but so is the right to birth control and other forms of medical care. Religion should be a power for good in the world; if it is being used to cause harm to people, or deny people access to health care, then perhaps it is time to reevaluate the beliefs causing this harm.

Racquetball Club wins second place in St. Louis matches
RYAN SCHLESENER
rschlesener@kansan.com
The KU Racquetball Club competed against itself for a first place finish in St. Louis last weekend.
Eight of the club's 30 members traveled to St. Louis for the Missouri Pinchshot tournament and came back with both individual and team success.
Out of the eight teams, including the University of Arkansas, University of Missouri and Saint Louis University, the club finished second, losing only to Missouri, which brought a team nearly twice its size.
Along with the team's success, players did well in singles and doubles tournaments throughout the weekend.
On the men's side in the singles competition, Justin Heaton, a freshman from St. Louis, edged out John Frisch, a graduate student from Roseland, N.J., for first place. Frisch finished second.
In the women's singles bracket,
Hannah Hindman, a senior from St. Louis, finished first. Hindman is the president of the club.
Along with singles success, the women's doubles team, consisting of Hindman and Erin Hoffmann, a freshman from Kirkwood, Mo., finished second.
Hoffman said she felt great about the performance.
"Even when I lost to more challenging opponents, I felt like I gained a lot of experience," she said.
Heaton said he was very encouraged by the team performance as a whole and happy with the way his teammates helped him out throughout the weekend.
"It helps at tournaments to have teammates watch you play," he said. "They can tell你what to do better and how to get that competitive edge on your opponent."
The racquetball club will travel to Overland Park for the 2012 Kansas State Open & Regional Racquetball Championships from April 20 to April 22.
Want to join the fun?
If you are interested in joining the KU Racquetball Club, contact Hannah Hindman at KUracquetball@gmail.com. Visit http://www.recreationku.edu/programs/sport_clubs/ if you would like more information on this, or any other KU club sport.
Frisch said that now that the team has a coach, everyone is improving more quickly.
"To do better in tournaments, we just need to continue working hard during practice and focus on the nuances of the game," he said.
The team practices from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays at the Ambler recreation center and is open to all students, regardless of experience.

The Jahwhaws earned the doubles point early, as the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches were completed in half the time it took to finish the No. 1 match. Doubles team Monica Pezziotti and Paulina Los, who are ranked No. 42 nationally, needed a tiebreaker to take down Eva Dalvai and Laura Bouet, 8-7(6).

UMKC had never beaten the Kansas tennis team going into the Jayhawks' first dual match of the spring season. And that didn't change Tuesday night.

Dylan Windom and Victoria Khanevskaya routed UMKC's Suzan Lisenby and Amelie Amsallem, 8-0, while Victoria Khanevskaya and Dreyer defeated Gabriela Pintos and Madeline Schulte, 8-2.
The lone singles loss came for Monica Pezzotti, who fell to Dalvai after using an injury timeout when she landed on her wrist diving for a ball in the first set.
"I don't think [the injury] had anything to do with it," coach Amy Hall Holt said. "[Dalval] is a very talented

Pierce replaces Bird as Celtics' No. 2 scorer
- Max Lush
Pierce needed nine points to tie Bird's total of 21,791. He had seven points at halftime, then hit a 3-pointer with 10.23 left in the third quarter to pass Bird.
BOSTON — Paul Pierce passed Larry Bird for list. 2 on the Celtics' career scoring list, finishing with 15 points as Boston increased its winning streak to five straight with a 94-84 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night.
Pierce nearly celebrated the milestone with a triple-double, coming up just short with nine assists and eight rebounds.
Reggie Williams scored 21 for the Bobcats, who lost their 12th straight despite staying within 11 points through the first three quarters. Cory Higgins added 20 points and Kemba Walker had 16 points and seven assists for the Bobcats
Rajon Rondo added 14 assists and 10 points, Kevin Garnett scored 22 and Ray Allen finished with 17 points.
Pierce still has a ways to go to become the Celtics all-time leading scorer. John Havlicek holds that mark with 26,395 points.
Pierce knew he had it, raising his arms as Boston fans gave him a standing ovation. The applause lasted for several minutes as teammate Garnett waved the crowd on for more.
The outcome never seemed in doubt and fans focused on Pierce making history for a franchise loaded with it. There was no announcement — or need for one — as everyone seemed to know what Pierce's shot from the top of the key meant in addition to giving the Celtics a 48-40 lead early in the third quarter.
The official announcement finally came during a time out with 5:14 left in the third and Pierce went to mid-court, blew a few kisses and bowed during another round of applause.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Jayhawks look to break losing streak during a crucial time
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The Kansas women's basketball team might have run into one of its toughest stretches of the season over the past few weeks.
It got blown out by the almostunbeatable Baylor, dropped a heartbreaker to Oklahoma and finally lost to the defensive stronghold Texas A&M.
When the team looked at the schedule at the beginning of the year, it knew as stretch might be make or break.
"Bonnie would bring it up how this is February, where you either get better or worse, "said senior forward Aishah Sutherland. "This is a time where we need to get better and start winning."
Now, the Jawhawks will focus on the task at hand: getting a crucial win tonight at 7 against Texas, another team on a three-game losing streak.
The biggest positive for Kansas was taking down Texas, 72-67, in Austin on Jan. 4 in its conference-opening
game.
Sutherland said that the team shared the ball really well, and everyone's shots were going in that night.
Currently, the 16-6 Jayhawks sit in fifth place in the conference and firmly on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. The 13-9 Longhorns are at 3-7 in the conference and are hoping to move up from the bottom of the standings.
"We have a lot of confidence going in," said junior forward Carolyn Davis. "We're both at that point where we need a win. They are the bottom of the pack, and we're right in the middle looking to get back to the top."
"They'll come in here with great energy and great purpose and attention to detail as we will," said coach Bonnie Henrickson. "We should feel confident, but we should make sure that we get done and get off to a great start and play that way for 40 minutes."
Still, Kansas understands that Texas is not a team to overlook, even with early-season success.
The last time these two teams
matched up, the biggest key for Kansas' win was getting Texas junior guard Yonnie Anderson in early foul trouble. That's not a guarantee for Kansas this time, so it must pay attention to detail with all the Longhorn guards.
The other guards include senior Ashleigh Fontenette, sophomore Chassidy Fussell and freshman Cassie Peoples. They round out a talented backcourt.
Henrickson said all of them are explosive in transition and know how to find each other down court. Plus, they can score a lot of three-pointers.
The Jayhawks want to make sure they finish the last eight games in a comfortable position in the standings, but for now, the players are focusing on individual games.
"I think if we were undefeated, wed feel that same sense of urgency" Davis said. "The standings or rankings aren't really on our minds. We're just taking it one game at a time."

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks once held a cushy two-game lead in the Big 12 standings. After losses at Iowa State and Missouri, they're now tied for second place with — you guessed it — Baylor. On Jan. 16 at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas whooped Baylor, 92-74. Junior forward Thomas Robinson tallied 27 points and 14 rebounds while senior guard Tyshawn Taylor tied a career-high of 28 points. The Bears can't be happy about the way they were embarrassed the last time these teams met.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, junior center
At Missouri on Saturday, Withey was pretty much useless when his team needed him most. In 23 minutes played, he grabbed four rebounds and
Withey
didn't score a point. Withey said he prefers playing against players more his size and Baylor's length front-court provides just that.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Jayhawks forget about Saturday?
The Border Showdown loss was disheartening to Kansas. The emotion was evident in post-game interviews, with both Robinson and Taylor glossy-eyed. Will a loss like this stick in the back of their minds and lead to less focus? The Bears, no matter how much they struggled in Lawrence, present a unique challenge when they're at their best. Kansas needs to be fully focused to avoid a second-straight defeat.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"If our guys don't play well or if we don't win, it won't be because of what happen Saturday."

TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
Taylor was the reason Kansas hung around with Missouri in the first half on Saturday. He was also a primary reason why the team faltered in the final three minutes. Matched up against junior guard Pierre Jackson, the Big 12 rookie of the week, Taylor will need to play fast without turning the ball over.
Johnson hesitated on the final shot of Saturday's game, but before that, he showed his ability to hit the contested jump shot. He has the ability to score in bunches. He scored 23 against UCLA in the Maui Invitational. For a team that often finds itself in scoring droughts, a scorer like Johnson can be a real savior.
ELIJAH JOHNSON. GUARD
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
Releford found himself in foul trouble on Saturday, so he logged just 29 minutes played, his lowest amount in the conference season. The Jayhawks, a team with less depth at forward than Baylor, need Releford to stay in the game and possibly play out of position. He has proven capable, but he has never done so against this kind of competition
★★★★
★★★★
★★★☆☆
THOMAS ROBINSON. FORWARD
After Saturday's loss, Robinson said that he doesn't want to lose any more. If he really means it, he could help his team out by starting games off the right way. He scored just six points at Missouri in the first half and often seemed rattled by the pressure of the environment and the defense. He turned it on in the second half, but against Baylor, his teammates will need his production for a full 40 minutes.
★★★★

JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
Withey
Withey has got to keep proving his worth. He was pretty much useless at Missouri and Self was noticeably upset with his performance. There have been games that make Kansas fans think Withey has finally come around, then others that make them cringe. Withey will be relied upon again and this time, he won't be matched up against shorter players.

D. ROBINSON
Jackson
Jackson is one of the 11 finalists this season for the Bob Cousy A ward, which annually recognizes the nation's top point guard. Jackson had an impressive performance in his debut against Kansas on Jan. 16 with 11 points and 11 assists. Defensively, however, Jackson will have to do a better job of containing Tyshawn Taylor.
BRADY HESLIP, GUARD
★★★☆
Heslip
Heslip is the least athletic of the Baylor rotation but is probably the best shooter for the Bears. He's taken fewer than four three-pointers on just two occasions in Big 12 games but has reached double figures four times in 10 contests.
24
★★★☆☆
QUINCY ACY. GUARD
The senior forward stands at 6-foot-7 but is just the third-biggest starter, one of the many reasons Baylor is a tough matchup for every opponent. Acy is averaging 12.4 points and seven rebounds this season and had 14 points in the first game against Kansas.
★★★★
Miller
PACIFIC STATE
QUINCY MILLER, FORWARD
Max Rothman
★★★★
Miller has had an impressive freshman season for Baylor, averaging 12.4 points and 5.3 rebounds on the year. He's had two 20-point performances in the Big 12, including a 29-point game against Missouri on Jan. 21. Miller has finished with double-digit points in more than half of his Big 12 games.
E
PERRY JONES III, FORWARD
Jones
Miller has slowed down a little bit since beginning Big 12 play, but he's still a candidate for first team all-conference and is one of the toughest matchups in the league. He's able to score from the outside consistently despite his 6-foot-11-inch frame.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Kansas is looking to break its second-place tie with Baylor tonight while completing the season sweep of the Bears. Both teams are half a game behind Missouri after the Tigers defeated Oklahoma Monday night. Kansas handled Baylor rather easily in the first matchup in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 16, 92-74. It was the first loss of the season for the Bears, who subsequently lost to Missouri before rattling off four consecutive victories. Like the first meeting, Baylor faces off with Missouri immediately following Kansas. If the Bears have any hopes of winning the Big 12 title, they need at least one victory in the next two games. Coach Scott Drew will need to figure out how to slow down junior forward Thomas Robinson if he intends to split the season series with Kansas. Robinson had a huge night in the first meeting, tallying 27 points and 14 rebounds. The Baylor frontline was overpowered by Kansas from start to finish, and another disappointing performance in the paint will yield similar results.
AT A GLANCE
Pierre Jackson, junior guard
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"Early on, we didn't have some success in the paint and got away from it. From there we couldn't stop them all night long."
Jackson has emerged as one of the nation's best point guards this season. He's more of a score-first, pass-second point guard in the mold of a
Tyshawn Taylor, but has improved his assist numbers in Big 12 games, with three of his highest assist totals coming in conference affairs. He's currently tied for second in the Big 12 with 5.9 assists per game on the season but leads the Big 12 in conference games with 7.9 assists per game.
QUESTION MARK
Baylor coach Scott Drew after the 92-74 loss to Kansas
How does Baylor adjust defensively?
Baylor's patented zone was torn to shreds by Robinson, but senior guard Tyshawn Taylor had a spectacular night as well, finishing with 28 points and six assists. Taylor had no trouble penetrating the zone while Robinson was able to find holes near the elbow all game. From there, a quick double-team resulted in a pass to an open three-point shooter. If no double-team showed up, Robinson had space to work with and ended up with a bucket more often than not. Baylor had the definite size advantage over Kansas, but the zone negated much of that. Switching to a man-to-man, at least for a stretch of the game to see its effectiveness, wouldn't be a bad idea for Drew.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
The Bears regularly get into the fast break with ease.

Q. How many double-doubles does Kansas' Thomas Robinson have this year?

THE MORNING BREW The Big 12's top mid-season players
College basketball's regular season is coming to a close, only being a month away from March Madness. Still, many conferences, such as the Big 12, are only halfway through the season. Players still have time to rise and change their seasons, but here are the Big 12's best at this point.
By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD,
KANSAS
This is a no-brainer. Thomas Robinson was expected to be good, but he has been great. The Naismith Player of the Year candidate continues to dominate the Big 12 after an impressive 25-point performance against rival Missouri.
Robinson leads the Big 12 in rebounding with an average 11.9 rebounds per game, which puts him second-best in the nation. Robinson also averages 18 points, good for third in the Big 12. Don't forget the double-doubles. He is the only player to average a double-double in the Big 12. Robinson also recorded 30 points and 21 rebounds against North Dakota. That's the sixth time it happened in Big 12 history and the first player at Kansas since Wayne Hightower in 1961.
As of now, Robinson not only is Big 12 Player of the Year worthy, but he may be the national player of the year.
MARCUS DENMON, GUARD, MISSOURI
Although Denmon's field-goal percentage and three-point percentage have dwindled this year, he still finds a way to put the ball in the hoop.
The senior increased his point production, averaging 17.3 points. Denmon is fifth in the conference in scoring. He also shoots 89 percent from the free-throw stripe, the top in the conference.
In the biggest game of the year for the Tigers, Denmons excelled. Before Kansas, Denmons made only five three-pointers. Against the rival Jayhawks, Denmons exploded with 29 points and six three-pointers to lead the Tigers to victory.
J'COVAN BROWN. GUARD. TEXAS
Brown is the Big 12's best scorer, averaging 20 points. Brown is also in the top 20 players in the nation in points per game.
Throughout the year, Brown has only two games where he didn't finish in double figures. He has the most 30-point games with three. Two games were both on the road against tough competition in Baylor and Missouri.
Brown will be a key player to watch when Texas comes to Lawrence. In the four games against Kansas in his career, Brown averages 23 points against the Jayhawks.
KU
This sophomore transfer can fill the stat sheet. White is the only player in the nation to lead his respective team in
ROYCE WHITE, FORWARD, IOWA STATE
points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.
He averages 14 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.5
assists, one block and 1.3 steals.
White is among nine players in NCAA Division I with a triple-double and it was the 12th triple-double in Big 12 history.
When Iowa State faced Texas A&M on the road, White became the fourth Cyclone in school history to record a triple-double. He posted 10 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in the win.
These elite players still have chances to falter, but their performances halfway through the season have been incredible and they are on their way to becoming All-Big 12 selections.

If Taylor finishes the season the way he played the last seven games, the Bob Cousy committee will have to get over something else: leaving an All-American point guard off their list of the 20 "best" point guards in the game.
He turns the ball over a lot, so maybe some of the 30 committee members couldn't get over his 11-turnover mess in Maui.
- Edited by Gabrielle Schock
Taylor not a part of the final 20? Duke's Seth Curry, who averaged 12.6 points and 2.6 assists per game, made it. I figured Dick Vitale somehow influenced the committee to put a Blue Devil on the list. (I kid.)

So why isn't he a finalist? Probably because passing the ball isn't his biggest strength.
Tyshawn robbed of award
But the members of that committee will look foolish if Taylor keeps up his current play.
By Clark Goble
cgoble@kansan.com
Also, the final candidates were announced on Jan. 4, before Taylor started scoring at will and cut down on unforced turnovers. Maybe the committee watched his 11-turnover performance against Duke in Maui and just couldn't put a guy with that many turnovers on the list.
Ken Pomeroy, a college basketball statistical analyst, ranks Tayler ninth in his player-of-the-year standings. He ranks Thomas Robinson first.
usually don't take sports awards too seriously.
Maybe the Bob Cousy committee was right. Maybe Taylor wasn't one of the 20 best point guards on lan. 4.
Everyone who votes for Most Valuable Player in the MLB, NFL or NBA has a different definition of "valuable." For example, in November a blogger for the Washington Post wrote that Peyton Manning should've been this year's MVP, despite Manning standing on the sidelines all season because of an neck injury.
Despite not playing all that well against Long Beach State on Dec. 6, Taylor nearly matched Ware's production. He had seven more assists than Craft, but also four more turn-overs and two fewer points.
But when I found out senior guard Tyshawn Taylor wasn't one of 20 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the top point guard in the country, I figured there had to be a mistake.
Those are just four games in a season of 30 or more, but Taylor has proven that he can hold his own against other players on the Cousy list.
Taylor outplayed Jackson, scoring 28 points and six assists on 10-for-14 shooting against Jackson's 11 points, 11 assists and 3-for-9 shooting. He also outplayed Pressley, putting up 21 points and dishing out six assists while Presley had just two points and three assists.
But that's not Pomeroy's point guard list — that's guards, forwards and centers. The only point guard Pomeroy rates higher is Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor, who is on the Cousy list.
The Cousy list was cut down to 11 players on Thursday. Taylor has matched up with four of them: Baylor's Pierre Jackson, Missouri's Flip Pressey, Ohio State's Aaron Craft and Long Beach State's Casper Ware.
COVERING THE BASES
BATTING FOR SUCCESS
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
Players on the Kansas baseball team must find a way to balance schoolwork with practice, off-season workouts, weight training and a 56-game regular season.
For senior infielder and captain Chris Manship, that balance is elusive. Manship not only captains the baseball team, he also majors — and excels — in engineering.
Though he was selected to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll twice, balancing engineering with baseball remains difficult.
"It's extremely hard," Manship said. "It's never really in balance; it's always kind of fluctuating."
Luckily for Manship, coach Ritch Price understands that Manship's schedule is demanding.
"A year ago, he was coming to practice late and leaving early in order to make his afternoon labs," Price said.
Price selected Manship to be a captain of the team this season because of his character, rather than his performance.
"Just the fact that he would nominate me not necessarily on performance, but for other attributes, I thought was very commendable," Manship said.
Manship doesn't like to do anything the easy way. After finishing high school in Cave Creek, Ariz., he chose baseball over football before college because he thought the objective of football was too
Price said he chose Manship because he works so hard and has earned everybody's respect in the program.
simple: Just use brute force. Manship prefers the mental wherewithal of baseball and the feeling of success after doing something right on the field.
"Baseball always seemed to be the calling and the one I wanted to play." Manship said. "There's just so much to it."
Baseball runs in Menship's genes. His father, Jim Manship, played baseball in college. Two of his cousins, Jeff and Matt Manship, were drafted by Major League organizations. Jeff is currently listed on the Minnesota Twins' 40-man roster.
Even with a baseball family, the sport never came easy to Manship. His cousin Jeff always told him baseball is a grind that he has to stick with.
"I don't know if baseball has
ever clicked for me." Manship said. "I think it's always kind of been my enemy."
Manship constantly works to improve his game. He spent the summer of 2010 playing baseball in Anchorage, Alaska, and he spent last summer playing for the Duluth Huskies in the Northwoods League, where he was named a post-season all-star. Manship said he feels like he turned a corner playing in the Northwoods League and that he's more comfortable than he used to be when he's in the game.
Manship came to Kansas as a non-scholarship player with a guaranteed roster spot. He eventually improved enough to earn the starting designated hitter spot by his sophomore season.
Senior infielder and co-captain
Jake Marasco said that Manship sets a great example for the younger players.
"As an engineering major, he has to be on top of his stuff about as much any one," Marasco said. "It's nice to have guys who are determined to get things done on and off the field."
Baseball hasn't always come easy for Manship, which is why he likes to play for Kansas. He said even though Kansas has talent, the team is always seen as an underdog by its competition.
"It's more motivation to show people what you can do," Manship said. "It's nice to prove people wrong."

Waco will test Jayhawks' improvements
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
The Jayhawks are looking to rebound from their heartbreaking 74-71 defeat at Missouri Saturday, as they travel to Waco, Texas, tonight to face the No. 6 Baylor Bears.
The Jayhawks handed the Bears their first loss of the season, a 92-74 drubbing in Allen Fieldhouse, on Jan. 16. Baylor has gone 4-1 since then and is tied with Kansas for second place in the Big 12, half a game behind Missouri.
Unlike the 80-74 loss to Davidson on Dec. 19, Self felt better vibes leaving Columbia, Mo., on Saturday.
"It's a totally different feel than when we played Davidson," Self said "I see a lot of positives leaving Missouri. I didn't see any positives leaving Kansas City versus Davidson."
One thing Self said will need
to change is the performance of junior center Jeff Withey, who failed to score for the first time all season while grabbing just four rebounds against Missouri. Self plans to show Withey the game tape of the first meeting with Baylor, in which he had a double-double.
The Jayhawks are looking to avoid dropping back-to-back games for the first time since the 2005-2006 season.
"If our guys don't play well, or if we don't win, it won't be because of what happened Saturday," Self said. "One thing about kids - coaches are a little bit different - coaches don't let things go. Kids have girlfriends, they get to go to class and they have other things that occupy their mind."
Not only would a loss to Baylor be the Jayhawks' second consecutive defeat, it would be three out of the last four for the team. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor isn't
Junior forward Thomas Robinson said the team will have to come out stronger and be more aggressive to bounce back against Baylor. Robinson had one of his best games of the season against Baylor in January, finishing with 27 points and 14 rebounds. The National Player of the Year candidate is eager for the last regular-season meeting with the Bears tonight in the Ferrell Center.
"It's just a feeling of not wanting to lose again," Robinson said. "You still have that bad taste from the last game. So going into the game after that, you want to get that taste out of your mouth."
"I know our schedule is tough," Taylor said. "It was a tough loss Saturday, but it isn't the end of the season. It's not even the end of the Big 12 race."

Parents juggle double roles
MARSHAL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
While a lot of students' main concerns are papers and tests, some are also concerned with raising a family. Juggling the roles of being parent and student have benefits and challenges for those willing to take on the task.
Tellena Vincent, a senior from Shawnee, drops off her three-year-old daughter Adynn every morning at Hilltop Child Development Center while she goes to class and studies all day.
"I went back to
career
business

work
school to provide a better life for my family," Vincent said. Vincent started taking classes part time in 2005, but became a full-time student after Adynn was born. Majoring in mathematics, she will graduate in December and hopes to do actuary work with her degree.
Vincent has managed both responsibilities by doing all her school work during the day so that she has the evenings and weekends to spend with Adynn. Limiting her hours each semester and working with flexible professors has allowed her to succeed both in the classroom and at home.
"I put being mom first and a student second," she said.
Sunyoung Kim, a graduate student from Seoul, South Korea, is pursuing a graduate degree in architecture with the idea of going back to work soon. This is because she said her daughter and son, Hyemin, 7, and Alan, 4, will no longer need a stay at home mom.
"My kids are growing up, and I have more free time so I wanted to pursue another career," Kim said.
Kim also uses Hilltop Child Development Center where she has received financial aid for daycare, allowing her to pursue her studies. Although she is not as able to socialize as much with her fellow students, Kim enjoys the dual role
she plays in her family.
"I feel more comfortable being a role model and giving them more provisions as a mother and leader of the family," Kim said. "I continue growing as my kids are growing."
However, getting started with the dual responsibilities can be challenging, as Shirley Moriano is finding out. Moriano, graduate student from Cali, Colombia, is just beginning her PhD program in economics this semester. She leaves her two-year-old daughter, Luna, at Sunnyside Daycare during the day. While finding a balance in time management can be difficult, Moriano sees Luna growing from the experience.
Edited by Katie James
As for advice Moriano has for anyone doing both roles, Moriano said to never give up.
"She can socialize and be happy to spend time with other children and learn from the teachers." Moriano said. "I just want her to have a mom who keeps growing in every sense."
"Keep going," she said. "It will get better. It will always get better."

WACO, Texas — Every day in practice, junior center Jeff Withey the teammates scream at him, punch him in the chest and jump on him to roll his emotions.
"They'll do it any way," Withey said of his teammates' antics.
On Saturday night at Missouri,
Witney lacked consistent aggression and didn't score a point. Coach Bill Self told him a scoreless night couldn't happen again.
On Wednesday night, Withey said his coach's words were stuck in his head, so he scored a career-high 25 points and guided No. 7 Kansas (19-5, 9-2) to a 68-54 victory over No. 6 Baylor at the Ferrell Center.
Exactly how big was the seven-foot Withey in the victory?
"As big as he really is," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "He was huge tonight."
Withey had a shaky start. After a thunderous alley-oop dunk from sophomore forward Perry Jones III, Withey turned the ball over and committed a foul, all within the first 30 seconds of the game.
But with the jayhawks trailing 7-0 and momentum fading fast, Taylor shook junior guard Pierre Jackson with a quick crosssover dribble at the top of the arc, drew another defender, then lobbed Withey an alley-oop dunk of his own.
The slam showed a glimpse of what was to come for Withey, who scored 17 of his teams 33 first-half
points.
"I'm so happy with my big fella right now," Taylor said.
Kansas attacked Baylor's zone by exposing gaps and consistently luring two defenders to one player. With quick and judicious ball movement, the Jayhawks worked to the inside, almost always finding Withey by the basket for layups, dunks and free throws, which he converted a career-high nine of 11.
"Cole had some good games," Self said of former Kansas center Cole Aldrich. "But I don't know if he had any better than that."
Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds for his 17th double-double, picked up his second foul with 5:26 left in the first half. As Robinson sat on
the bench for the rest of the half, the Jayhawks worked the offense through Withey. For a nearly 12 minute stretch from the end of the first half into the second, the Jayhawks went on a 34-5 run.
Jones III had the first dunk. He's the prospect in this game who NBA scouts want the most, but he also missed seven of his eight shots, only scored five points and grabbed two rebounds.
It was Withey's night, no matter what the scouting reports once said.
"I don't know why Withey likes playing against us so much," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "But he looks like an All-American every time he does."

Higher education funding issue on top of students' lists
University of Kansas students joined more than 100 other students in the State Capitol on Monday to participate in Higher Education day.
Student body president Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, led 17 other students to meet with state house representatives and senators to discuss issues ranging from the rising level of student debt to allowing concealed weapons on campus.
The biggest issue facing students is higher education funding. This
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
"Leaving college with that high of a debt is a significant burden to have to deal with for the rest of your life," Johnson said. "We wanted to show legislators that these are important issues, it really does make a difference what they do, it makes a difference in our lives what decisions they make and what they make a priority."
year, for the first time, students have to pay more in tuition for their education than the state. The average college student leaves college with $22,000 in debt.
Laura Bosijevac, a junior from Emporia with the Kansas Board of
"We were very happy with our experience, we also understand that not every legislator is going to be agree with our stand point," Bosiljevac said. "The meetings went very well, we felt like our concerns were heard. We are thankful for everything that we have been giving and their help in trying to prevent further cuts."
Regents, said students should be optimistic, but also understands there is a long way to go to get these issues resolved.
Kansas Board of Regents Students' Advisory Committee chair and Fort Hays Student Government
Association President Tyler Thompson said addressing these issues with state legislators to solidify the future of the state.
"We are more than just student leaders," he said in a press release. "We represent the future of Kansas businesses, communities, and the state. We understand the benefit of achieving a higher education and want to help legislators understand how issues affect students."
While the main concern for students was funding for higher education, the discussion allowing concealed weapons on campus was also
a major talking point.
Kansas House Bill 2353, the Personal and Family Protection act, would allow guns on University campuses as long as a concealed carry permit is present. Thompson and Nate Spriggs, Kansas State student body president, testified against the bill in the State and Federal Affairs committee meeting last week. Johnson said she also believes the proposed bill is unnecessary and would only interfere with students' education.
"I am personally against this legislation pass, however. I do
understand there are varying view points from students" Johnson said.
"Concealed weapons have no purpose on college and university campuses," Thompson said in the press release. "The addition of any weapon on our campuses introduces risks that complicate the mission of our campus police and threatens the safety of students, faculty and staff."
Last year a similar bill passed in the state House, however it failed to make through the state Senate.

Because of a law unique to Kansas, students can choose to vote in their hometown rather than where they attend college for state elections. The voter residency law was designed to help smaller counties in Kansas retain population and as such, their representation in the state House of Representatives.
Check out the full story to find out where you should be casting your ballot this year.
For the first time in years, there are enough disgruntled students and recent grads to bring higher education to the forefront of the
presidential campaigns. Student debt has become a $1 trillion issue — yep, that's 12 zeroes — and we want to know who you think has the best solution.

Mob boss sent to prison, must pay $1.8 million
CHICAGO — A federal judge in Chicago has sentenced a reputed mob boss to 25 years in prison.
Michael Sarno was also ordered to pay nearly $1.8 million in restitution by Judge Ronald Guzman at Wednesdays hearing.
A jury convicted the 54-year-old and four co-defendants in 2010 of racketeering and other charges.
Prosecutors said Sarno and his crew wanted to warn a game distributor not to encoach on their video-poker turf on Chicago's South Side and in suburbs.
Experts say Sarno's background as an enforcer wouldn't normally have translated into a top mob job. But with aging kingpins behind bars or dying, a weakened Chicago Outfit offered positions to men like Sarno.

Lake Vostok found after 20 million years
MOSCOW After more than two decades of drilling in Antarctica, Russian scientists have reached the gigantic freshwater Lake Vostok hidden under miles of ice for some 20 million years — a pristine body of water that may hold life from the distant past and clues to the search for life on other planets.
The Russian team hit the lake Sunday at the depth of 12,366 feet about 800 miles southeast of the South Pole in the central part of the continent.
Scientists hope the lake may allow a glimpse into microbial life forms that existed before the ice Age and are not visible to the naked eye. Scientists believe that microbial life may exist in the dark depths of the lake despite its high pressure and constant cold — conditions similar to those expected to be found under the ice crust on Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus.
"In the simplest sense, it can transform the way we think about life," NASA's chief scientist Waleed Abdalati told The Associated Press in a email.
American and British teams are drilling to reach their own subglacial Antarctic lakes, but Columbia University glaciologist Robin Bell said those lakes are smaller and younger than Vostok, which is the big scientific prize.

VERACRUZ, Mexico A suspected member of the Zetas drug gang has led Mexican authorities to a mass grave site at two ranches in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, the Mexican navy said Wednesday.
Associated Press
The navy says its personnel detained suspect Francisco Alvarado Martagon Tuesday as he attempted to drive past a military checkpoint near the city of Acayucan in a vehicle without license plates.
Under questioning, the man mentioned two sites at local ranches that the Zetas allegedly used to dispose of bodies, including rivals or members of their own gang who had been executed.
Once in custody, Alvarado Martagon confessed to being a head lookout for the Zetas. navy officials said.
The navy said it inspected the sites and found the buried, badly decomposed remains of 10 people on Tuesday and continued searching.
Veracruz has been the scene of bloody battles between the Zetas and the Sinaloa druz cartel.
Mexican authorities have found hundreds of bodies dumped by drug gangs in mass graves in recent years, mainly in the states of Durango and Tamaulipas.

Commercial shipping halted on Danube River due to severe icing
Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Serbia made the decision because up to 90 percent of the river's surface is covered with floating ice, authorities said Wednesday.
The conditions are making it extremely difficult to traverse Europe's main commercial waterway, which winds 1,777-miles from Germany and serves as the natural border between Bulgaria and Romania.
W. D. L.
Europe has been battling a deep freeze that started in late January and has killed hundreds, snow that has trapped thousands in Balkan mountain villages and prompted worries of flooding as heavy snow melts. In Greece and Bulgaria, flooding on Monday and Tuesday left dozens of homes under water and at least eight dead.
Four Balkan nations had to stop ships from passing through the Danube River because of ice and severe frost. Some emergency officials will use explosives to break up the ice.

Thousands of U.S. troops moved out of Okinawa Marine base
**TOKYO** — Japan and the United States agreed Wednesday to proceed with plans to transfer thousands of U.S. troops out of the southern Japanese island of Okinawa, leaving behind the stalled discussion about closing a major U.S. Marine base there.

That agreement has been effectively scuttled by opposition on Okinawa, where many residents believe the base should simply be closed and moved overseas or elsewhere in Japan. More than half of the 50,000 U.S. troops in Japan are stationed on Okinawa.

Pawlenty expressed his encouragement to college students. "We need your talent, your energy, your creativity, your passion and vision for the future, your collaborative nature with us intergenerationally. Regardless of your political background, our country, I know everyone in this room cares about our country," he said. "A democracy depends on an informed and engaged citizen. We will not have an effective, functioning democracy if we have large numbers of our citizenry checked out. And so if you care about the country and I know you do, I hope you'll hear the words of our founders, embedded in our founding documents and related documents that we can't have this and perpetuate this cherish country that we have unless we have an informed, an engaged citizenry. It's precious, but it requires each of us to do something."

Take That star Gary Barlow, charged with organizing the gala event, said he hopes as many as half a million people are able to see the concert from the public areas in front of the palace. It will also be broadcast on television and radio.
It follows a raucous Golden Jubilee concert in 2002 that featured a rendition of "God Save the Queen" by Queen guitarist Brian May performed in the open air on the palace roof.

The event is a centerpiece in the queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, which have already kicked off to mark her 60 years on the throne.

"The whole world will be watching," he said, while acknowledging it may be hard to top May's performance at the 2002 gala.
Some 10,000 tickets will be awarded by lottery. Tickets will also include entry into the palace garden for a jubilee picnic, with food provided by the palace.
"We all remember that and we will try to come up with something newer and better," he said.
Barlow said that the Queen's grandsons Prince Harry and Prince William had suggested some performers who may be added to the list. Officials said the Queen is "content" with the musical program.
The Queen and husband Prince Philip plan to attend along with other senior members of the royal family.
He said the goal is the have music from all the decades of the Queen's reign incorporated into the program.

Director Daniel Espinosa shocks movie company
None of that prepared executives for the first batch of footage Espinosa sent back to California from his "Safe House" set in South Africa early last year.
"They said it looked like a French movie from the 1960s," Espinosa said. "But that's what I was going for."
McClathy-Tribune
LOS ANGELES — When Universal Pictures hired Daniel Espinosa to direct its rogue CIA agent thriller "Safe House," the studio knew it was rolling the dice. The Swedish filmmaker had never made an English-language feature, he hadn't worked with stars near the magnitude of "Safe House" leads Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, and he was graduating from a $4 million Nordic drug drama to an $85 million production.
90'S Mainstreem music Today
Over the years, VIP became a family-owned chain, with 14 locations across Los Angeles County, the Long Beach store eventually emerging as the flagship. Now owned by Kelvin Anderson, VIP in Long Beach midwifed the careers of some of America's best-known hip-hop stars. Rapper Snoop Dogg filmed parts of three videos on the VIP roof, next to its landmark sign, which featured the cartoon image of a black man in a baseball cap walking toward an enormous vinyl record.
MUSIC
— Sean Powers
Today, in the age of Internet downloads, Anderson remains in music—barely, VIP recently abandoned the space it occupied for 33 years on Pacific Coast Highway and will reopen in a space half as large next door.
Record company struggles to compete with free music
LONG BEACH, Calif. — In its heyday, World Famous VIP Records in Long Beach had a fulltime disc jockey playing music for customers, and clerks learned their clients' tastes so well they knew what to put on as soon as customers walked in the store.
Anderson, 57, said he signed a lease for only one year.
But that was years ago. Anderson's siblings have long since closed their stores.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"There's hardly anything we have in here that you can't download free — legally or illegally," he said as he set up his new shop recently. "That's pretty much what turned our world upside down. You can't compete with free."
The music world was very different in 1972, when Anderson flew to Los Angeles two days after
graduating from high school in Brandon, Miss. He went to work in his older brother Cletus' record store in Los Angeles that afternoon. In 1978, Anderson opened the Long Beach store for his brother and bought it from him six months later.
Eventually, all but one of his 10 siblings made the same migration. They opened stores in time with the expansion of the Southern California black community: in Inglewood, Pasadena, Compton, Crenshaw and more.
This was at the beginning of intense and effervescent do-it-yourself underground music that emerged from Southern California streets. Punk rock took root in Hollywood in the late 1970s. In the late 1980s, narcocorridos — ballads about drug traffickers — were transformed into a major form of Mexican music by balladeers in Paramount, Huntington Park and other southeast L.A. County cities. VIP was rooted in the black community and thus positioned to promote gangster rap, which began in the mid-1980s in garages in Compton, then Oakland, and later spreading to Long Beach.
Kids made their own recordings using the relatively cheap E-mu Systems' SP 1200 drum machine. The machine rose to iconic status in hip-hop by enabling rappers to program beats and record lyrics cheaply and easily.
"That turned a lot of people's career and life around - that simple drum machine," Anderson said.
Anderson bought one and put a makeshift recording studio in the back of his shop. Youths hung
out there all day. One trio dubbed themselves 213 — then the Long Beach area code. The crew — Warren G, Snoop Dogg and the late Nate Dogg — recorded its first four-song demo at VIP. Anderson shipped it to numerous rap labels; all passed.
Then Warren G worked it into the music a few times at a birthday party for his stepbrother, Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, of Compton's NWA, who was by then a record producer for Death Row Records. Dr. Dre signed Snoop Dogg, and his career took off.
There were plenty of others who followed, and obscenity-laden West Coast gangster rappers scorched the rap world, then dominated by New York artists.
The West Coast rappers "told what a lot of people figured they were making up," Anderson said. New York rap "was more fiction, the things they rapped about. West Coast rappers rapped about real life"
Behind the counter at VIP, Anderson saw car stereos that shook windows as they passed. Massive boom boxes, which kids carried on their shoulders, were also a fad. He made sure he got his store's latest music onto these stereos and boxes.
"It was street promotion," Anderson said. "None of it was ever clean enough to play on radio. The major labels were not touching it at first. (But) a lot of record label people would visit and find out I'm selling a lot more of this independent artist than they are of their own artists."

PHILOSOPHY
Life lessons from an unexpected source
Woody Allen's classic films have a lot to say about love and death, which we should listen to
Five years ago I discovered the genius of Woody Allen. Through his philosophical stories this what I've learned from two of them.
Love:
In Allen's classic Oscar winning movie "Annie Hall", Alvy Singer (played by Allen) ends with him no longer being together with Annie Hall (played by Diane Keaton). After they broke up, he wrote a play in which the characters are based on them. The difference is that in the play they get back together. This seems to imply the overall formula of writing, in which the guy gets the girl in the end; however, this is not that kind of love story. They leave no longer as a couple and continue on with their search for love.
The movie ends with Alvy giving a monologue, "... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken.' ... the doctor says, 'Well, why don't you turn him in?' And the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.'
Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships. You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and ... but,uh,I guess we keep going through it because,uh,most of us need the eggs."
I find this true in my search for love. I have had my heart broken and I have hurt others, but we all seem to ignore the absurdity of love in search for happiness in hope that one day we will find a significant other.
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
Death:
As everyone is aware, one day we will all die. Like most people this scares me. Friedrich Nietzsche's response to this was Eternal Recurrence. In "Hannah and Her Sisters" Allen's character Mickey struggles with the idea of living with no greater meaning in the world. As he says, "[Nietzsche] said that the life we lived we're going to live over again the
same way for eternity. Great. That means I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again."
Mickey's feeling toward life and death is that without a greater meaning life is not worth living. Through the movie, he fails to find a rational answer to why we are here, and is unable to accept any religion. Without being able to prove for certain that God exists, he decides to kill himself, but he gets nervous while attempting to, the gun slips and goes off in his hands before he can do so. Out of embarrassment he goes for a walk and ends up at a movie theater, and while watching it he concludes: "I started to feel, how can you even think of killing yourself ... Look at all the people up there on the screen, they're
real funny ... What if there is no God and you only go around once and that's it. Don't you want to be part of the experience? I should stop ruining my life searching for answers I'm never going get, and just enjoy it while it lasts. And after who knows, I mean maybe there is something, nobody really knows."
There is no possible way to prove that there is an afterlife or that there is a true reason to live. All we can prove is that we are all here, and with that we must make the best out of it. Even if that is just being a part of existence for the short time that we are here.

POLITICS
Campaign ads power election
We've all heard of these types of ads: Politician A speaks softly about the problems the nation is facing, points out how politician B couldn't possibly be tasked to solve the issues and finally explains how they would be the right person to lead the nation into an age of prosperity and equality.
Kansas voters have thus far been spared the types of political ads that waste our time and annoy us to no end. I was astounded by the types of political ads that I saw when I went home to Iowa over winter break.
But this presidential election, the commercials will be even worse, due to the onslaught of the Super PACs. Students should be aware of what they're in for once the Kansas March 10th caucus comes upon us and we're all inundated with these political commercials.
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
Super political action committees, or PACs as they're referred to, were allowed to take part in the election process beginning with the 2010 election. This came about following two judicial decisions.
Super PACs are not supposed to have any direct coordination with any candidates or political parties, but a candidate may talk to his associated Super PAC via the media. Super PACs are also required to disclose their donors, just like the more traditional PACs; however, thus far, Super PACs have used a technicality to postpone filings until well after elections. The entire issue lies in the fact that Super PACs have very little rules, and with such a large amount of money available to them, they are able to wield enormous amounts of power with little policing.
Despite the lack of direct coordination with candidates, the current GOP primary race has seen several occurrences of suspicious behavior. The Restore Our Future Super PAC benefited Mitt Romney while attacking fellow nominee Newt Gingrich.
In the first, the Supreme Court held in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that government may not prohibit unions and corporations from making independent expenditures about politics. Shortly following that, in Speechnow, org v. FED, the Federal Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held that contributions to groups that only make independent expenditures could not be limited. These super PACs are officially known as "independent-expenditure only committees" and can raise unlimited sums from corporations, unions and other groups, as well as individuals.
Not to be outdone, the pro-
Gingrich Winning Our Future
Super PAC attacked Romney.
Each Super PAC was run by former employees of the candidate it supported, and each attracted money from that candidate's associates. More recently, the Nevada casino mogul, Sheldon Adelson reportedly made a donation of at least $11 million to a Super PAC backing Newt Gingrich. Gingrich will be staying at the Venetian hotel which is a Sands Corp, an Adelson owned company, while he is in Las Vegas to campaign for the Nevada primary. There isn't enough understanding of how much coordination nominees may have with these donators and that creates problems.
Our political process is held in high regard as one of the most open in the world, yet we as the voting public aren't privy to who is behind these Super PACs and their large amounts of financial backing. Super PACs are emblematic of the amount of outside influence on political figures in the system by groups like unions and corporations. There are millions of dollars spent on leverage by lobbyists, Super PACs are simply a representation of that in the campaigning process.
These issues would be solved if we allowed people to donate an unlimited amount of money to the candidates themselves and then candidates were forced to file who gave them money. Candidates need money, we can't expect people to run for political office without acquiring vast amounts of money. If donations were unlimited, but filing was forced, candidates would receive those funds but the voting public would be informed of the kinds of individuals and groups making donations and imposing their influence. It isn't a perfect solution, it still allows people to exercise large amounts of power and influence over political candidates but in lieu of the recent problems, something must be done.

LIFESTYLE
Time management a skill, but not impossible to learn
Adding more to your schedule may actually save time for you to watch that romantic comedy with friends
I am taking 17 credit hours, working 15 hours a week, and am involved in multiple organizations: I am a busy person. Too often when I ask people to add a commitment to their schedule they look me in the eye and utter, "I don't think I have time for that."
Obviously I understand people need time to relax and sleep in on weekends but I expect more. I am sure that my brethren are indeed swamped with commitments, but this is where a tomato can save you.
Let me introduce you to the "Pomodoro Technique." In case you are not Italian, "pomodoro" is Italian for tomato, and it refers to a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. An Italian man named Francesco Cirillo started using his kitchen timer to help him focus. The idea stems from the fact that our attention spans are getting weaker as our social media outlets become more prominent.
By Jon Samp
jsamp@kansan.com
I made a list of all the little things I needed to get done and started to tremble in fear. It was like staring a ferocious animal in the eye. I reached over and turned the timer
to 25 minutes and I was off! Twenty-five minutes is not too long, but it is also nothing you can sneeze at. I worked constantly and diligently for 25 minutes and when the timer rang I thrust my fists into the air and proceeded to peruse my phone for any text messages and Twitter updates.
The secret is what followed this stretch. After working for 25 minutes, I only had five minutes to complain about the new Facebook timeline layout and to check the myriad of blogs I read. After the five minutes was up, back to another 25 minutes of focused productivity. As I worked down the list, I found myself finished, with time enough to watch a romantic comedy. Who would have thought?
It is ridiculous how much time I wasted before, procrastinating on math homework by trying to pick the most appropriate math snack (Count Chocula or apple pi)? If I could get back all the time I have spent untangling headphones and watching Lost, I would have enough time to have a significant other or finish that music minor. I would certainly be a more accomplished person.
Time is the hardest thing for a college student to manage. We only have four short years here, and every student needs to make the most of it. There is no better way to make great memories than to get done with your homework/studying earlier and start making use of your education, whether it is in an organization or getting into mischief around campus. I have always wanted to DJ on KJHK and rollerblade down Jayhawk Boulevard and perhaps now I will have enough time to make it happen.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Jeff Withey, Junior Center
Withey followed his worst game as a Jayhawk with his best. He tallied a career-high 25 points, five rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 29 minutes played. His ability to beat the zone defense helped eliminate Baylor's early momentum. In a game that featured several premier NBA prospects, it was Withey, the quiet Californian kid, who topped them all.
Withev
GAME TO FORGET
Elijah Johnson, Junior Guard
It wasn't all bad for Johnson, who dished five assists compared to just one turnover. But it's got to be frustrating for a shooter of his caliber to miss all six of his shots, including four from three-point range. Self was amazed at the fact that his team shot over 50 percent from the field despite its shooting guard struggling so much.

Tyshawn Taylor has been one of the more inconsistent KU basketball players in recent memory. He's one of the more talented players as well, which probably explains the love/hate relationship Kansas fans and the media seem to have for Taylor from one game to the next.
CHRIS NEURANSAN
Junior forward Kevin Young drives in for a lay-up during the second half of Wednesday night's match-up against the Baylor Bears.
"You guys are really good at analyzing a lot of things about his game, and I do the same thing so I can't be mad at you for doing it, because I do it," coach Bill Self told the media after the loss to Missouri Saturday. "But he's damn good. He is damn good."
Beginning with the victory over Iowa State on Jan. 14 and heading into Wednesday night's game against No. 6 Baylor, Taylor was averaging 21.8 points per game in seven contests, nearly five points over his season average. He exceeded his season average in the 68-54 victory over Baylor Wednesday night as well.
Taylor had 19 points, just three turnovers, and shot more than 50 percent from the field (6-11) and the three-point line (4-7).
The impressive stat line was a big reason Kansas avoided losing back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 22, 2005.

"I don't think we like the feeling of losing," Taylor said earlier this week. "We always come in with a good attitude and we try to get better and learn from our mistakes that we made in the previous game."
The lahawks opened up the half on a 23-4 run fueled largely by Taylor's eight points on two three-pointers and a layup. His pedestrian first half was anything but in the final 20 minutes of play in which he had 13 points, was 2-for-3 from
After a slow start found the Jayhawks down 19-9 with nine minutes remaining in the first half, Taylor later connected on a deep three-pointer to cut the Baylor lead to 27-22 with four and a half minutes to go. Kansas eventually took a three point lead to the locker room, 33-30.
The second half couldn't have gone much better for Kansas or Taylor.
beyond the arc and committed just one turnover.
He got into the heart of the Baylor zone and was able to find center Jeff Withey and forward Thomas Robinson with ease, who in turn wreaked
havoc on their Baylor counterparts.
The Jayhawks are now tied with Missouri for first place in the Big 12 with seven games remaining, and Bill Self has plenty of confidence in his point guard heading down the
stretch.
"I'll put the ball in his hands any day," Self said.

A: Eli and Archie played Mississippi, while Peyton played at Tennessee.

THE MORNING BREW Peyton or Eli? Which brother is better?
While the Super Bowl may have answered many questions for football fans
Peyton or Eli?
such as the big one, "Who is the best team?" - it also left another primary question that will dangle over future football seasons.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
This, of course, refers to the quarterbacks and brothers Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. Eli's New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl 21-17. As the quarterback, Eli cemented himself as a legend, taking home his second Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award.
Peyton is one of, if not the, most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history. The four-time MVP has won one Super Bowl and was the MVP in the Super Bowl game as well.
Here are both cases for which Manning brother has more ground in football's history:
PEYTON:
Just five years ago, it would be nearly
impossible to believe this discussion would be happening. Big brother Peyton was well established as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks of all time, before Eli ever passed the first round of the playoffs.
The career achievements for Peyton certainly stack higher than brother Eli. Peyton is an 11-time Pro Bowl player, six-time AFC player of the year, the fastest quarterback to ever reach 50,000 passing yards and the fastest to complete 4,000 passes.
More than that Peyton is a brilliant leader of one of the most prolific and original NFL offenses ever. The quarterback calls his own plays at the line of scrimmage and has become one of most popular names in American households for nearly 10 years.
Peyton is an NFL legend — and even though an injury kept him off the field this season — he is still considered one of the league's best.
ELI:
It's now safe to say that little brother Eli has surpassed the hyperbolic expectations set for him when he was drafted in 2004.
He just won his second Super Bowl and has two MVP trophies from the title games to go along with the rings.
In both Super Bowl victories, Eli led inspiring go-ahead drives in the final minutes of the game. Those were the type of drives that make great players legends.
KU
The first drive, in 2008, contained a play that NFL films called "the play of the decade." Eli escaped pressure from three defenders and lofted a 32-yard pass that receiver David Tyre pinned to his helmet. Four plays later, the
Giants scored, and took 17-14 lead to seat the Super Bowl victory.
On Sunday, Eli and the Giants recreated their magical 2008 drive. Starting with a 38-yard pass to Mario Manningham, the Giants scored on a drive with 57 seconds left to give them another Super Bowl victory.
While Peyton's career numbers are more impressive than Eli, the younger Manning brother has become a clutch commodity, something Peyton can't say.
The answer: Stay tuned. Peyton still has a few years of football left to play and Eli's career is just coming into full blossom.

University of North Dakota will resume using nickname
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BISMARCK, N.D. — The University of North Dakota will resume using its contentious Fighting Sioux nickname despite threats from the NCAA, the school's president said Wednesday, marking the latest twist in a protracted fight about a name that critics consider offensive.
A state law requiring the University to use its longtime nickname and logo, which shows the profile of an American Indian warrior, was repealed in November. The University has since been trying to retire the moniker, but nickname supporters filed petitions late Tuesday demanding that the issue be put to a statewide vote.
University President Robert
Kelley said the school decided to resume using the name and logo to respect the state's referendum process, which requires the pronickname law be in effect while the secretary of state reviews the petition signatures over the next month.
"As soon as that petition was filed last night, the law reverts," Kelley told The Associated Press. "I don't want to violate the law."
The NCAA has told the University that continued use of the nickname and logo would expose the school to sanctions. The school could not host post-season tournaments, and its athletes could not wear uniforms with the logo or nickname in post-season play.
Emails and phone messages left with the NCAA were not
immediately returned Wednesday. The University and leaders in Grand Forks, where the school is located, opposed the law.
Kelley said the men's and women's hockey teams and the women's basketball team have a chance for post-season play in the coming months, and it was unclear how the teams would be affected.
"I don't know whether this is going to put us back on the (sanctions) list or not," Kelly said. "But clearly, by being mandated by state law to be Fighting Sioux, we are right back to where we were before the repeal."
The state Board of Higher Education will likely meet with North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem on Monday to discuss whether to go to court to block reinstatement of the law.

Boeheim passes Smith, wins against top rival
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Kris Joseph scored a career-high 29 points, hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute of overtime, and No. 2 Syracuse beat 12th-ranked Georgetown 64-61 on Wednesday night to give coach Jim Boeheim his 880th career win.
Boeheim took sole possession of third place all-time in Division I, one more than North Carolina's Dean Smith, but it wasn't easy against the Orange's rival.
The game was tied at 55 after regulation, and freshman Otto Porter scored the first four points of overtime for the Hoyas, swishing two free throws and hitting a baseline
jumper to give Georgetown 61-59 lead with 219 left.
Dion Waiters tied it with a pair of free throws for the Orange, and after Porter lost the ball out of bounds at the other end, Scoop Jardine fed Joseph in the left corner, and he buried his career-best sixth 3 of the game with 29 seconds left.
Jardine sealed it by forcing a turnover by Jason Clark with 4.9 seconds to go, allowing Syracuse (24-1, 11-1 Big East) to remain unbeaten at home at 16-0. Georgetown (18-5, 8-4), had won five of six entering the game.
Fab Melo had 11 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for Syracuse, which won despite being dominated on the glass 52-35. jardine finished
with eight assists.
Porter led Georgetown with 14 points, Clark had 12 and Hollis Thompson 10.
The 87th meeting between the staunch rivals — Syracuse leads 48-39 — had added significance. With Syracuse's impending move to the Atlantic Coast Conference, it might have been the last time the teams meet as Big East foes in the Carrier Dome.
It turned into one to remember for the crowd of 27,820.
Syracuse held Georgetown, second in the Big East from long range, to 5 of 21 (23.8 percent) from beyond the arc.

GAME TO REMEMBER
BETTY
It didn't seem like it, but by the end of the game Goodrich finished the game with an Allen Fieldhouse record of 16 assists. Throughout the game Goodrich was feeding senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior forward Carolyn Davis in the post for much of the game. Sutherland and Davis combined for 42 of the Jayhawks 85 points. Goodrich also put together a nice shooting night of her own with 16 points going 6 for 12 including three three-pointers.

GAME TO FORGET
Natalie Knight, Freshman Guard
Knight saw her role reduced a little tonight playing only 25 minutes on the night mainly because of the extra minutes to Asia Boyd. However, when she was in the game tonight Knight struggled to be effective. She finished the game with more fouls (four) than points (two). She also struggled handling the ball giving up three turnovers. It will be interesting to see how Knight's role continues to change in the upcoming weeks.

Boyd proves herself against Longhorns
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The big question all year for Kansas women's basketball has been when is Asia Boyd going to get her chance to show why she was such a highly-touted recruit? Well, we got that answer on Wednesday night when the freshman from Detroit, Mich., finally saw extended playing time with 24 minutes in the game.
Throughout the year, Boyd and coach Bonnie Henrickson have had conversations about her position on the team. But Boyd texted Henrickson recently again about what she needed to get on the court, and coach told her to meet her before practice.
In the meeting she made it very simple. Henrickson wanted her to play like her fellow freshman Natalie Knight; stay within the offense, knock down shots, and don't make mistakes. With the absence of sophomore guard CeCe Harper because of a concussion Boyd took advantage of the extended time and finished with 11 points to contribute to the Jayhawks 85-61 defeat the Texas Longhorns on
"I was very confident just because the teammates gave me the confidence and I think they had a lot of belief of what I can do," Boyd said.
Even though Boyd stepped up, Kansas had plenty of the normal contributors doing the work we've seen from them all year.
Wednesday night.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich continued to show why she's one of the best guards in the conference, and maybe the country when she broke her own Allen Fieldhouse record of 16 assists for a single game. She also finished with 16 points.
"I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists mean that my teammates were ready to shoot," Goodrich said.
Goodrich held the team together after the jayhawks started to give up some of their substantial 16 point lead up to the Longhorns going into halftime. In fact, Texas got within three points at the 18:20 mark of the second half,
However the Jayhawks extended their advantage once again after Goodrich sank two three-pointers on consecutive possessions to

give the Jayhawks some breathing room.
The other big component to the Jayhawks win was senior forward Aishah Sutherland who put together an impressive double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds. Although Sutherland didn't look the part in warm-ups she was ready from the get go to have an impressive night.
"I just came in thinking attack them," Sutherland said. "Attack them so they don't think they can be in the game, and that's what I did. I saw some open opportunities and took it."
Even with all the offensive suc
cess tonight, junior forward Carolyn Davis continued to stay right on her normal path going seven of 13 from the floor and tallying up 18 points.
With seven games remaining on the conference schedule, the Jayhawks hope they can continue to build off this win, especially when they go onto face their in-state rival Kansas State on Sunday.
"Right now were just focused at one game and they're the next game," Goodrich said. "We want to go in and get prepared for the next game and be able and do what we did tonight."

Keeping us on our toes
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
Robinson finished with 15 points his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
Edited by Amanda Gage
14 point victory against a nationally-ranked squad on their own court is always a good sign, but the Kansas men's basketball team will make a huge mistake if it misinterprets Wednesday night's beatdown of No. 6 Baylor as anything but what it was: a mixed bag.
The final score, 68-54, is probably a better result than an optimistic Kansas fan could have hoped for. Between a sluggish start and a flat finish, the Jayhawks tore through the Bears' weak zone defense on a 37-15 run. Much of that 22-point advantage came with junior forward and national player of the year front-runner Thomas Robinson on the bench. Those are certainly encouraging signs.
But Wednesday's game also revealed cracks in the foundation of this team that need to be addressed if it has any hopes of making a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Let's take a look at the beginning of the game. The Jayhawks had eight turnovers in the game's first 11 minutes, six more than the Bears. Kansas trailed after the first 10 minutes for the fourth time in their last five games.
As the game wound down, some of the same problems that plagued the jayhawks in Columbia, Mo., on Saturday reappeared. Granted, the team was playing with a 20 point lead by that point, and the Baylor fans created an environment more akin to a middle school theater performance than the big-fight feel the showdown at Mizzou Arena had, but flaws are still flaws.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Reelford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Perhaps most discouraging is that Kansas' drought came with most of its starters still on the court. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor looked like the best point guard in the country at times on Wednesday, but near the end of the game he was sucking wind and slowing the offense down. Four layhawks, all starters, had six turnovers in the game's final 6:14. It gave Baylor a window to get back in the game, and while the Bears ultimately wouldn't take advantage of that opportunity, the fatigue of the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
On Saturday, Kansas failed to score in the game's final 3:24. Last night, the team scored only three points in the game's final 4:52, none of them coming from the field.

Baseball is a sport that humbles its players and brings people together, but at the end of the day for senior Kansas infielder Jake Marasco, it's just a game.
Baseball runs in Marasco's family. His father Mike played baseball at Friends University, and his brother Matt, played for Kansas State. Instead of family vacations, the Marasco's trips revolved around Jake's baseball tournaments with his traveling team the Midwest Wolverines.
"My parents really supported my brother and I playing baseball," Marasco said. "For our family, it was much more than just baseball games when wed get to travel."
As a standout athlete in football and baseball at Maize High School in Wichita, Marasco drew interest from schools such as Arkansas, Kansas and K-State to play football. When it came time to choose between baseball and football, Marasco went with the sport his family embraced the most at the school his best friend and co-captain, Jordan Jakubov, was attending.
"Jordan and I were best friends growing up, and that encouraged me to come to Kansas," Marasco said. "A lot of times we don't even have to talk to each other to make a decision — we're almost always on the same page."
Despite growing up with a family that loved in-state rival Kansas State, Marasco had the full support
Baseball had always been what brought his family together, but at that time, it seemed insignificant. With the understanding and support of the coaching staff, Marasco took time off from the team to be with his family.
As a true freshman, Marasco played 13 games, recording his first career hit in the season opener against Air Force. Marasco's freshman season came to an abrupt halt after breaking his foot in March, forcing him to take a redshirt. Marasco spent the next three months in crutches and then rehabbing the injury to come back stronger in his redshirt freshman campaign.
of his family when he decided to come to Kansas.
"Coach Price was able to separate being a coach to being a person I needed to lean on for awhile," Marasco said. "He, along with the whole athletic department and baseball team, was always there for me."
The following year, Marasco was a regular in coach Ritch Price's starting lineup, hitting .273 in 30 games. However, on March 8, 2010, Marasco was struck with the tragic news that his mother Carol passed away suddenly at the age of 54.
Coach Price named Marasco a captain for the 2012 season, not just for the adversity he's encountered, but also because he has the potential to be the Jayhawks' top player this season.
said. "We're still waiting for him to take that next step and be an impact player for us"
KANSAS 85, TEXAS 61
"Physically he's one of the most gifted players on our team," Price
Last season, Marasco returned to Kansas playing with a heavy heart, but he still started 52 games for the layhawks. Nearly one year to the day after the passing of his mother, Marasco hit his first career home run in an 8-2 victory against Eastern Michigan. It was an emotional moment that helped put life and baseball in perspective for Marasco.
"You have to take each day with a smile," Marasco said. "Don't take things too seriously and always play for the right reasons."

Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson went down to watch Angel Goodrich play in the state tournament in Tulsa, Okla., before recruiting her to play for the Jayhawks. She sat courtside and watched her future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
Wednesday night. The Jayhawks fulfilled several different demands tonight including ending a three game losing streak, notching another conference victory and coming back to defend their home court. Kansas moved to 17-6 overall and 6-5 in conference play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first

couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
made our comeback she just said, 'no more', and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkors said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a match with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
The men took cell phones, mar-
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them." Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe." Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
casn, most or which was located in a safe.
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,'" Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you."
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on." Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

choreographed dance routines and build sets. Some parts of the preparation start even before the fall semester. Around 12 pairs of fraternities and sororites compete in the fall to make it into the final show, but only five are selected.
Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.

I'm going to be even more nervous because I'm a director and there's even more pressure," Henzlik said.

Plus, there's your two extroverted, edgy editors who ooze sarcasm and love colorful speech. Who knows, by next week you might be reading about how I got a tattoo (again) and eloped in Vegas over
the weekend, and Nadia had a change of heart and moved to Spain to be a painter and sent her editor's note from Barcelona on a canvas with acrylics.
Okay, so I'm exaggerating. But we're still really excited about the new look and tone of Jayplay this semester and hope that these changes have intrigued you, our readers, too. I firmly believe that taking risks and challenging myself is the only way to truly grow and improve, and that goes for Jayplay too.
Check out page 9 for Chris Neal's feature "A Two Wheeled World: The Life of A BMXer" to read about riders who take huge risks and challenge the laws of gravity. Sometimes they pull off jaw-dropping stunts, and sometimes, well, they don't. Jayplay is going for big air this spring too, and sometimes we might biff it. But I guarantee we'll always get back on the bike.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall death should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
KANSAS 3
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
She sa courtside and watched no future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.

"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.

Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the jayhawks won again.
The jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
The men took cell phones, mar-
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe," Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
cash, most of which was located in a safe.
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff'". Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you.'"
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on," Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show.

"I'm from out-of-state and I was fairly new to the house and the community, so I figured it would be a good way to get to know people," Morrison said. "It turned out to be an awesome experience."

Kirk Morrison, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla., first participated in Rock Chalk as a freshman as a way to branch out.

LOVE
--find your own way to tell those you love, "I love you!"
The Hookup
Ana de la Vega
Michelle MacBain, Kansas City is a graduate student in Communication Studies. She studied Psychology and Human Sexuality at KU and the University of Amsterdam.
I love love! Even though some of you may regard Valentine's Day as a "Hallmark holiday," remember that love is not only shared between romantic partners, but between you and anyone in your life that is lucky enough to have your love. This year, instead of dismissing the day as commercial, remind those closest to you of the love you have and share. Take the day to feel love and celebrate a romantic partner, friend, family member, or cherished pet. Remember that love is shared and experienced in many different ways find some comfort with it.
Now, for those of you looking to experience something new with a romantic partner, here are a few new sex positions in the popular holiday sex position series
Cupid's Arrow
In this standing missionary position, both partners face each other and the receiver lifts and places one leg around the giver's hip; the giver supporting the receiver's leg by holding the thigh. If the receiver is very flexible, try raising the leg and placing it onto the giver's shoulder. The giver can then bend and flex his/her legs to penetrate the receiver. Aim for the bullseye!
Chocolate Tiss - final
The giver kneels on the bed or floor, resting his/her bottom on his/her heels. The receiver kneins in front, placing his/her knees slightly in front or on either side of the giver. This position allows the giving partner access to kiss, touch, and caress the receiver's body, while allowing the receiver the closeness not often experienced with other rear entry positions. Don't forget to keep your favorite lubrication within reach!
Rose Bud - Cunnillious
The receiver lays on her side. The giver lays on his/her side perpendicular to the receiver with his/her head between her thighs - head facing towards the vagina, not the anus. In this position, the receiver has control of her hips and level of oral penetration, allowing for either softer or more aggressive stimulation. The giver can stimulate himself/herself with the free hands, or use them to explore the receiver's body.
Pop the Champagne - Tellatio
The receiver kneels on all fours and the giver lays further down the bed with their head between the receiver's knees. The giver performs oral and can use their mouth and hands to caress and explore their partner's whole body, stimulating the scrotum and anus. The receiver can dip and raise their hips to carefully thrust in and out of the giver's mouth. Well-endowed men and those with a sensitive gag reflex will benefit from taking this one slow.

Dating Tip: ANDREW FEIGENBAUM AND ANDREA MAUZY // ALIZA CHUDNOW
Jason Hood
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The minute Andrew Feigenbaum saw Andrea Mauzy, he immediately thought she was cute. A mutual friend thought the two would instantly hit it off, so when they were introduced to each other at Andrew's fraternity house at the beginning of the fall semester, sparks flew. "When we first met we were definitely flirting back and forth," Andrew, a junior says. "It was really, really nice, nothing felt forced at all."
After spending time during the day hanging out at one another's houses or driving around town, going on late night food runs to McDonalds, the two decided to take their relationship to the next level and be exclusive. But not before Andrew revealed to Andrea that he would be studying abroad this spring semester.
"He told me he was studying abroad in Japan and I just kind of went with it," says Andrea, a junior from Kansas City. "That was at the beginning when we first met, but I soon started to like him so I didn't really care anymore." The night before the two parted ways, Andrew cooked Andrea a homemade meal—macaroni and cheese—and they watched one of her favorite movies, Little Rascals. Although this was the last night they would be physically together for eight months, they both were determined to make their relationship work no matter how far apart they were from one another.
DATING TIP: Keep in touch by whatever means possible, and always be patient with your partner.
It has been a month and a half since Andrea and Andrew have been in the same room, ate a meal together or cuddled on a couch, but thanks to Skype, they are still able to not only talk, but see each other every day. The two are constantly communicating, whether it's texting about their days or saying 'sweet dreams' over Skype at night, proving that even the distance can't seem to stop them from flourishing as a couple.
Being apart has really taught them how to be patient with one another. "When you are away, you have your own separate lives," Andrew says. "Until I leave for Japan in April, I am with my family in Boca Raton, Fla. and Andrea has class, so we have to be really patient and really flexible with each other." While the couple is adjusting to being states apart, they will soon have another barrier to cross; being half-way around the world from one another. When that time comes, they will continue to manage their relationship in stride, and prove to themselves that although they miss each other, they can still make it work. As history has proved time and time again, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

American internet-using adults have used online dating, according to Pew Internet and American Life Project, with the youngest age group of 18-29 year-olds being the most common online daters. One KU student using Plentyoffish.com, who goes by the username Hawrk, has been experimenting with several online dating websites. "It's just a different way to meet people," Hawrk says. "I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to find yet, but it's a way to see what's out there."
Students who use the internet to find love are becoming more common, says Julie Spira, an online dating expert and author of "The Perils of Cyber Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking For Love Online." "You're busy, you're on your computer, you're on your smart phone, so you're much more technologically attached. With online dating, you meet people you may never have met in your normal routine."
Dennis Dailey, retired Professor of Social Welfare, explained that online
dating is just a new, tech-friendly form of making connections with people. "From my own perspective, all it represents is creative young people using available mechanisms. Before bars, it was church socials. Before socials, it was arranged by parents."
"With online dating, you meet people you may never have met in your normal routine."
With the growing trend of students using these methods, many websites have been set up that are specifically targeted at college students. Spira recommends websites like DateMySchool.com because of its specialized tools used to help students meet people they might not otherwise meet. "I think that it's a great site because it allows you to meet people in a different curriculum, or someone studying the same thing at another school. Sites like that are going to increase social dating," says Spira. DateMySchool.com is unique
to the social dating science because it requires a university email address before joining, to ensure only students and alumni can utilize the service.
Spira says that once a student has decided to try online dating, they must be aware of the strategies that can be used to increase the chances of meeting someone they're compatible with. She compares using online dating services to finding a dream job. "Look at your personal life the same way as a job. There's going to be some rejection." To make the process easier, Spira suggests that someone expect it to take six months. She recommends allotting a certain amount of time each day into searching for people you might be interested in.
While online dating is becoming a fast trend within universities, experts are encouraging online daters to use caution when selecting potential partners. "Online dating safety is a very big hot button issue for me. There are a lot of stories about people being assaulted so it's important to not feel as if you're in a relationship with someone you've never met, you just know them from behind the keyboard," says Spira.
Dailey cautions students who use "hook-up sites," websites that are used for the sole purpose of finding a partner to have casual sex with. "You don't get as much information on the spot, but it's not that much different than hooking up with someone at a frat party or a bar. There's dangerousness in all of that."
The risks of online dating is one reason many students have yet to jump on the internet dating bandwagon. Some students feel that they can't know who they are really talking to when meeting someone over the internet. "Online dating is super creepy," says Kayci Vickers, a senior from Eudora. "There's no way to know who's actually on the other end. You might think you're talking to a 22-year-old stud when it's actually a 45-year-old sex offender."
Dating online may not be the most popular way to get a date, but Dennis Dailey, retired Professor of Social Welfare, says he doesn't think it's going away. "Technology is here to stay. It's one way people can do it, and some people might find that better than going to a bar."
STAYING SAFE WHEN DATING ONLINE
Julie Spira, online dating expert and author of "The Perils of Cyber Dating. Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking For Love Online," offers these tips to keep students safe when meeting people over the internet.
Don't talk to people without a photo posted. These are most likely the people who are either dangerous or already in a relationship.
Don't give out your personal information. Keep information such as last name, address and phone number for after you meet.
When you're taking your relationship from online to offline make sure you feel comfortab at all times. If you start to fee uncomfortable, tell them you have a meeting and leave right away
Meet in a public place, and let a friend know where you'r meeting.
Text a friend, and let them know that your date is going well. If it's not, tell them you're going to leave.

Thomas Becker is the guitarist in the Kansas City, Mo., band The Beautiful Bodies. The band has been together for about seven years, but he joined the band two summers ago. The Beautiful Bodies are a mix of punk, indie, dance and pop music. Becker says they just took their favorite musical interests and "shook them up." They've been compared to a mix between the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and No Doubt.

band, The Queens. I went on more tours in high school including ones with Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger. I've always been obsessed with music. My parents told me that when I was a toddler, I would sit in front of MTV & tap away to the beat of the music.
WHAT SHOULD WE LOOK FOR NEXT FROM THE BEAUTIFUL BOOSEST?
We are going to Los Angeles to record an album in a month, so we are doing a Kick-Starter to help raise money for that. People can go online to pledge money and get a variety of prizes depending on how much they pledge, including the opportunity to come do guest backup vocals in LA. We are having a KickStarter party/concert at the Riot Room in Kansas City, Mo., on February 25, which I'm excited about.
WHAT ARE THE DIFERENCES BETWEEN DATING IN
SCHOOL AND DATING IN A BAND?
If you're on tour all of the time, it's so up and down; you get to see someone for a long time then not at all. But if you're in school and around that person all of the time, you don't get that escape. There are benefits to being on tour, but it's definitely harder. Dating normally can be a pain in the butt.
A lot of musicians have the tendency to pretend they are rock stars and "what happens on the road, stays on the road." They cheat a lot. I've never done that; I think it's totally inappropriate. When you're on tour, you need to have a lot of trust in the relationship. It wasn't easy with me being gone so much. They needed more, which was hard to give.
DO YOU HAVE ADVICE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS?
It sounds cheesy but look for someone who makes you happy. You should find someone who is compatible to you. If you figure out you are an independent spirit, it is probably good to find someone with a compatible spirit. I feel like I'm quoting someone from The Notebook...
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WHILE ON TOUR, HOW HARD IS IT TO MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP?
HAVE YOU SEEN THE NOTEBOOK?
Yes, I saw it in theaters with my ex-girlfriend. I was bawling. Anyone who has seen The Notebook and didn't cry, I don't think you could trust them. They could end up being a serial killer one day. That's my advice. Way less cheesy than my other advice.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas: Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists, Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
She sat courtside and watched her future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.
“It's exciting.” Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
— Edited by Amanda Gage
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance to more court time with sophomore-guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goellenkens said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a match with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Survival Skills: Got Involved
Survival Skills: Is studying in groups better? //ALLISON BOND
It is not always about how much you study but how you ace the test.
"I like to study by myself" says Kelsey Anderson, a junior from Joplin, Mo., who mostly studies at home. "I get too easily distracted, otherwise. If other people are talking, I'll start listening to them and stop what I'm doing."
It seems every college student has their preference on how they best study. Whether it's at home or in the library, students know what study locations work best for them. But I've always wondered: Is it better to study in groups or alone?
Dr. Florence DiGennaro Reed, a KU professor in the psychology department, says we don't know yet which is best, and there is little to guide us in terms of research. "Studying effectiveness has quite a bit to do with what students actually spend their time doing while studying." Dr. DiGennaro Reed says. Staying focused on studying and using good notes to review are some ways the thinks would help with studying habits.
Shaun Jiang, a senior from Quingdao, China, says that by studying in a group, "we can communicate together and answer questions we have. It helps that we can share ideas."
A study conducted by Arkansas State University claims to show that there is no direct relationship between the amount of study time and academic performance success, but rather how effectively the time is spent on studying that influences better academic performance.
It seems group versus individual studying is a preference students have to individually make. Some students prefer incorporating both into their study routines. Sammy Engelson, a sophomore from Plano, Texas says, "I like small groups of two to three people. That way if I need to study by myself I can but if I have questions I have people that can help."
Whether studying with friends or alone, good study habits are a definite must for good academic performance.
DUKE UNIVERSITY OFFERS TIPS ON HOW TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE STUDY GROUP. Have 3 to 4 members (no more than 5 max). Meet at least once a week
Make a serious commitment to show up and to do the required preparation prior to any group meeting.
Choose a group leader/facilitator to keep the group on track and on task within each session.

TOMS Campus Club TOMS seeks to raise awareness on campus for people across the world without shoes. //ALLISON BOND
Julia Miggins wants to be part of something special when she graduates college with her business degree in May. She realized, however, that she didn't have to wait until then to make a difference.
Julia found TOMS Campus Clubs while searching online for job opportunities with TOMS shoes.
"I started looking at it and said 'Whoa. This is a big deal,'" says Miggins, a senior from Tulsa Okla, and president of KU's TOMS Campus Club. "I was surprised that Lawrence didn't have a group like this already."
TOMS Campus Club, Lawrence edition, started just this semester, when the club had its first meeting to decide which events the group wanted to participate in. "One day without shoes" was an event that created buzz talk. Planned for April 10, the event invites participants to walk shoeless through Lawrence, along with more than 1,000 other groups in 25 countries that will be doing the same.
“Wherever you are in the world, you walk around barefoot for some part of the day and when people ask you “Why are you barefoot?” you tell them a little about the movement. We want to challenge people to see what it would be like for someone else who does not have shoes.” Julia cares
Students involved in the club are excited about the opportunity to raise awareness for others. "I like how TOMS company is not just about making money but also about helping others and helping third world countries," says Paige Gramlich, a senior from Prairie Village, Kan., and treasurer of the group.
For more information to get involved in this new campus group contact Juila Miggins at jmiggs@ku.edu.

Better Options for Bad Situations:
Dandruff //MEGAN HINMAN
Keeping the snow out of your hair, winter weather or not.
This winter hasn't been brutal, but that doesn't mean you're safe from one of its woes—dandruff. Or, at least, those flakes you find on your scalp that we call dandruff. Actual dandruff, or seborrhea, is a slightly different condition with extra treatments, such as medicated shampoo and conditioner. So what's the flaky stuff?
It's dry skin, says Jim Grimes, owner of Headmasters Salon at 809 Vermont. But since it's on your head, the treatment is different than that of regular dry skin.
you head, the treatment is different that of regular kiyo ... STEP 1 Don't wash your hair so often. "When the external environment actually adheres to your hair, it's important to wash," Grimes says. But usually, you can just rinse away the residue from the day.
STEP 2 Use cooler water when you wash your hair. People tend to dry their hair out because they wash it every day with water that's too hot.
STEP 3. When you do wash, use less shampoo. A pea-sized drop will do.
STEP4. Lather up the shampoo in your hands, then apply the foam at the scalp. Scrub it in with your fingertips instead of just pushing the soap around with your palms.
Michelle Tucker, a junior from Wichita, says her dandruff is manageable, though gross.“I think it helps if you just try to keep your scalp clean,” she says. If these steps don't improve your dandruff, or if your flakes are more thick and scaly, you may have seborrhea, which is a common form of the skin condition eczema. If so, a prescription-strength shampoo may help, so talk to your doctor.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
The men took cell phones, mar-
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe," Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff," Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you."
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on," Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

--banjo from his grandfathers and listening to his parents' Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Charlie Pride records. Along with a wide variety of soul singers, these artists deeply influenced Whitmore's early songwriting years and helped guide his style into a stripped down blend of folk, country and blues—with a dash of punk.
JOHN GROENING
Iowa songwriter returns to his Lawrence roots //ALEX TRETBAR William Elliott Whitmore recalls his musical coming of age and his old ties to Kansas
He's an accomplished musician who's toured with Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave), City and Colour, Murder By Death and Converge. His last couple records were released on ANTI-, a label that has put out albums by Spoon, Elliott Smith, Wilco, Nick Cave and Tom Waits, among many others. William Elliott Whitmore is nearly a household name in the indie music world, and his rise to success has traces through Kansas.
Whitmore has lived his entire life on a family farm in southeastern Iowa, but he considers Lawrence and Wichita integral to his transformation into a skilled touring musician. He performs tomorrow night at the Granada, with some of the same people who influenced him during his early years on the road.
Whitmore spent his childhood learning
At 18. Whitmore ventured into Iowa City to play small gigs and check out DIY punk shows. These were cheap or free all-ages shows in simple, unorthodox locations, organized with the unspoken mentality that even you, the audience member, could "do it yourself." It didn't take money, a promoter, or an expensive venue to put on a concert. Whitmore eventually encountered the hardcore punk/screamo band Ten Grand, an intensely adored group within certain circles in Iowa City and Wichita.
KJHK PRESENTS:

Horse Weapons
Me For Radness
"I had my toes in the water, but Ten Grand really showed me how to go about it in a semi-professional way and really attack it." Whitmore says.
Whitmore started joining the band on tours, often playing in Lawrence and Wichita, where Ten Grand frontman Matt Davis' parents lived. It was on these tours that Whitmore began writing more serious songs about the natural tranquility of farm life—he alternates between touring and country living in Iowa. Ten Grand let him play before each show, travelling as a semi-roadie. Whitmore met people throughout the country that proved helpful years later.
Matt's younger brother Dan (of Lawrence bands Living Ghost and Horse Weapons) grew up in Wichita and eventually became a prominent figure in Wichita's independent music community. He first met Whitmore when travelling to Lawrence to see him open for The Vidablue. Ten Grand formed as The Vidablue, but in 2001 sold the name to Phish's Page McConnell for $10,000, hence the new moniker.
Eventually Dan formed the indiepunk group Ricky Fitts with three fellow Wichitans. Ricky Fitts gained a following in Wichita similar to Ten Grand's devoted fanbase, and even toured extensively with Whitmore, just as Ten Grand had. Ricky Fitts guitarist Casey Loren first met Whitmore in 2002 when the group played with both Ten Grand and Whitmore in Wichita.
"It was a really different time in a lot of ways," Loren says. "My exposure to those

people is what shaped how I feel about so many different things. It could never be duplicated, how magical that situation was."
Loren now performs as Me For Radness — a clever inversion of "Reefer Madness." He'll join Whitmore tomorrow at the Granada as the opening act. Loren, who lives in Denver, loops hip-hop beats, sings and plays guitar and live mandolin, though his recordings include keyboards and bass. He also collaborates with rappers Antimosity and Yours Truly. Dan will perform tomorrow with the heavy psychedelic four-piece Horse Weapons, singing and playing guitar.
"He passed away right before my first record came out, Hymns for the Hopeless, and I started touring alone," Whitmore said. "I missed those guys. But I had lots of friends in different towns that I'd gotten to know through touring, and I haven't stopped doing it since."
Matt Davis suffered a seizure and died unexpectedly in late 2003, and Ten Grand broke up. Matt's death was emotionally crushing and a definite turning point in Whitmore's musical career.
So if you catch Whitmore, Davis and Loren tomorrow night at the Granada, you'll bear witness to a longstanding musical friendship. Whitmore admits that, for him, it all began with Ten Grand, Ricky Fitts, Iowa City and Kansas.
"Ever since I was old enough to get my hands around the neck of a guitar I was trying to learn chords," Whitmore nostalgically recalls. "Years went by, I got to know the guys from Ten Grand, and I jumped in the van with them—and then the rest... just went on!"

Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.

Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting," Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.

play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
The men took cell phones, mar
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff," Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you."
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe," Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on," Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show. "I mean, I still did fine in school, but I got an A- and I'm a perfectionist. I've put a lot of my friendships on hold and my relationships on hold."

BMX
吃喝玩乐
The BMX sport took off during the 1960s with the release of the Schwinn Sting-Ray. The Sting-Ray was a bike built primarily for racing, and with it came an increase in the number of people wanting to join the bicycle racing scene so they could be more like their Motocross idols. Riders built their own dirt tracks to race on, and shortly after, Bicycle Motocross was born. Races would be held on dirt tracks all over
BMX stayed true to its racing heritage until the late 1970s when some riders began doing tricks on their bikes instead of justracing around the dirt track. This soon became the branch of BMX known as freestyle BMX. It wasn't until the 1980s that the freestyle branch split into the dif-
ferent disciplines we have today: street park, vert, trails, dirt and flatland.
Today there are BMXers of all different ages that participate in events nationwide. Tyler Stuart, a freshman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been racing on the dirt tracks for about eight years. With over 500 races under his tires, 20 of which were national events, he can finally consider himself to be an avid rider. He says it's the thrill of
competing against other riders that keeps him on the track. "It's a place where I can really show my skills as a rider," Stuart explains.
The reasons people become drawn into the sport vary from one person to the next, but for many of the older riders, seeing it on TV got them hooked. Grant Meisenheimer, an 11-year veteran in the Lawrence BMX scene, first saw the sport during an

X-Games event on TV and began taking his bike off small jumps when he was 14. When the Lawrence skate park was built the same year, he says he was immediately hooked.
For the younger riders like Anthony Guerrero, seeing the veterans at the skate park fly through the air was usually what got them riding. "I started going to the skate park, and seeing Grant do fuckin' tuck no handers (when the rider tucks the handle bars into their lap while in the air, and then releases their hands from the bike) and tail whips in front of me, that's what really got me going," Guerrero savs.
For some riders, going without their bikes would be like trying to walk without their legs. BMX has become a way of life for them, and not being able to ride on two wheels in not an option. "I was married once and that was one reason why we split up," says Meisenheimer. "She didn't like me riding as much as I did."
Although some riders can't live a day without their bike by their sides, there are some who see it as a strictly recreational sport. Rider Zunwu Zhou, a freshman from Wuhan, China, got into the sport after seeing it on TV and in magazines. But to him, BMX is only a hobby and his main focus is on his education. Zhou practices flatland BMX, a form of BMX where the rider performs tricks on a flat surface
He says that is the best place for him to practice due to the smooth surface that the area provides. Non-Flatland riders have a harder time practicing on campus, however, because jumping off things and grinding rails is frowned upon by the University.
While he doesn't see himself taking his riding to the professional level, Zhou does see BMX as a useful tool in helping him prepare for his future. He says it has taught him how to focus on a task and how to work to accomplish his goals.
Damon Mar, a graduate student from Lawrence, also sees his BMX riding as something to do for fun, but he believes that he would not be the same person without BMX in his life. "It has completely shaped who I am," Mar says. From the clothes he wears, the music he listens to, the people he looks up to, and the things he wishes to do in life like becoming a mechanical engineer, Damon says he owes all of it to his riding.
Mar has been riding for almost 12 years, and has had experience in street, park, dirt, and flatland BMX. The thing that he says his craft has done for him the most is something that can be seen as universal with almost all BMXers. "It sharpens you mentally to have focus and that can
RIDING IN A PROFESSIONAL WORLD PRO BMXER TERRY ADAMS
The BMX spark hit professional BMX flatlander Terry Adams when he was 12 years old. Seeing riders perform tricks on TV and in magazines convinced him to hop on a bike and try them himself.
Soon after he decided to try out the BMX scene, the desire to go to the professional level consumed him. BMX is a sport that's rules are made by the rider, and as a kid, Terry says he had an addictive personality that made the sport fit him like a glove.
Flatland BMX caught Terry's eye when he first saw adults doing it. "It looked like they were floating," he says. Flatland seemed to be more complicated than other BMX branches, so he decided that he would take the challenge and learn it.
Eventually, Terry reached the level he is at today and became one of the best flatland riders in the world. He is even the owner of an X-Games gold medal for flatland riding that he won while competing in the 2005 X-Games in South Korea. The X-Games is an annual sporting event held in the both the summer and winter for extreme sports like BMX, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc.
Even though he now travels all over the world and is sponsored by big name brands like Red Bull, he still feels that being able to ride with his friends is a much better option than competing. For Terry, it feels good to train hard and win, but the feeling isn't as pure as just having fun while riding around with his friends.

definitely be taken outside of BMX and be put into other things."
Riding BMX has taught Mar many different things, but there is one life lesson that BMX has given him that all riders share since "it gives you a certain motivation, a certain determination, and a sense that if you put your work in you will get something out of it eventually." Mar says. An understandable statement con-
sidinger the amount of time riders devote to riding and learning new tricks. Grant Meisenheimer, for example, says he has spent tens of thousands of hours to get to the level he is at now, and all of those hours were spent doing trial and error runs until he accomplishes what he wants. The same goes for riders across all the disciplines of BMX.

Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
cash, most or which was located in a safe.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
The men took cell phones, mar-
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff', Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you.'
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe." Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on," Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

anthroplograph dance routines and build sets. Some parts of the preparation start even before the fall semester. Around 12 pairs of fraternities and sororities compete in the fall to make it into the final show, but only five are selected.
Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show. "I mean, I still did fine in school, but I got an A- and I'm a perfectionist. I've put a lot of my friendships on hold and my relationships on hold."

Get some culture KARAOKE FOR THE FAINT OF HEART // ALEX TRETBAR
Karaoke scares the crap out of me. I've played bass live in a band at least a few dozen times and even sung occasionally, but the idea of standing by myself and belting Hall and Oates for a drunken mob sends chills up my spine. If the simple thought of attempting this yourself is nerve-wracking, "It's Karaoke Time with Sam and Ducky" is your downtown laughter oasis.

Most people, especially those who have never actually stepped up the plate (me included), envision karaoke as a nightmare of embarrassment, but Sam Gunnerson and Ducky put on an unusually comfortable show each Tuesday night at the Jackpot. Gunnerson, a bartender and performing musician himself (he plays in Jabberjosh, Horse Weapons and Swanson), feels that too many local joints focus solely on the negative aspects of singing solo.
"No one wants to be insulted," Gunnerson says. "Here, even if you can't carry a tune, you're still going to be appreciated. If someone has the balls to sing, you gotta give that person praise."
Gunnerson has enceed for Jackpot's karaoke night for about a year, and Ducky began as co-host about six months ago. The two bring a communal philosophy to the decades-old game (karaoke is a Japanese portmanteau of "empty" and "orchestra"), encouraging and reinforcing simple fun in place of the typical exploitive or humiliating tone. Gunnerson considers his weekly stint a necessary outlet for both him and the night's regular attendees.
"I never thought I'd have anything to do with karaoke," Gunnerson says. "But now it's
become a huge part of my life, and I look forward to every Tuesday 'cause I know it's gonna be great. I've never had a bad time at karaoke.

Start with Ernest Hemingway's concept of nature as a macrocosmic mirror for a man at war with himself. Then factor in Cormac McCarthy's fascination with characters whose wicked lives only achieve release in the instant of their own ugly, passionate demise. Finally, add one royally pissed off ex-jedi and a pack of ravenous wolves, and you'll have some idea of the experience awaiting you in Joe Carnahan's survivalist drama "The Grew"
Equal parts action flick and existential thriller, "The Grey" is far more than just an excuse to watch Liam Neeson sucker punch wolves for two hours. In fact, those going in with the expectation of a popcorn movie may emerge disappointed. Although steeped in geysers of gore and surgically applied tension, "The Grey" is spare and moody where lesser films would have howled for more jump-scares and clumsy humor.
Neeson plays Ottway, a sniper in the employ of an oil company stationed in the farthest reaches of the Alaskan tundra. Ottway's job is to kill any beast that gets too close to the drill site and its workers, a squallid crew of maladapted loners and ex-cons like himself. After an unspecified tragedy involving his wife, he's spent years making an island of himself, ritualistically preparing for his own death.
This attitude changes quickly, however, after a terrible plane crash leaves himself and seven other survivors stranded deep in the frozen wilderness, pursued by wolves that seem almost supernaturally cunning and cruel.
No actor alive can exude world-weary tenacity better than Neeson, and he infuses Ottway with a gruff, wounded grace rarely glimpsed among today's sorry crop of action stars. And special mention must be made of Greg Nicotero's special effects team, whose mangy timberwolves gradually come to resemble four-legged angels of death, aberrant evidence of a blind or indifferent God. Yet despite the film's bleak outlook, the action never lags and the ending manages to feel genuinely triumphant. Here's the first great movie of 2012.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Only five Kansas players scoree Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
she sat courtside and watched no future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Oka, broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.
Edited by Amanda Gage
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting," Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just sau,
'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach',
Texas coach Gail Goenstenkers said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Q&A with Evan Dando //KELSEY CIPOLLA

THE VIEW
Evan Dando started his band The Lemonheads in 1986, creating college radio friendly alternative rock and popular 80s punk records. Over the years, The Lemonheads released more records, including the mainstream breakthrough "We Need to Talk About Ray", which it has been played Band members have constantly changed over the years, except for Dando, now 44 years old. The band is currently on tour, with Chuck Treace of Bad Brains on drums and Fred Mascherino of Taking Back Sunday on bass.
Q. FEW ARTISTS HAVE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE A BAND WORK ONCE ORIGINAL MEMBERS LEAVE, BUT YOU'VE SUCCESSFULLY COPED WITH TONS OF CHANGES WHILE STILL MAKING RECORDS AND TOURING. HOW HAVE YOU DONE IT?
Well, I started early. I founded The Lemonheads with two high school friends who both were accepted and went to Harvard University. Obviously being in a punk band wasn't their only goal. Once I realized I could play the drums and the bass, and thus record all by myself, I decided to just keep the name. A big part of the equation was going on tour by myself. The songs still worked that way, so I was off and running. Bands break up and fire drummers often enough that there were always new victims in the wings.
Q. WHY HAS THE BAND LINE-UP BEEN SO INCONSISTENT OVER THE YEARS?
O. YOU'VE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME. WITH ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE NOW, IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY, WOULD YOU?
No.
I have no idea why the band has been so volatile. Especially considering what a normal, steady, solid, and un-weird person I am. And I never mess around with other bandmate's groupies.
Q. WHY HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING "IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY" ON THIS TOUR, AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF YOUR OTHER MATERIAL?
Q. YOUVE PLAYED IN LAWRENCE BEFORE. ANY MEMORIES OF THOSE SHOWS OR TOUGHTS ON THE CITY?
Always love going back to Lawrence. Makes me think about one of my heroes, William Burroughs. The town is cool. I like it.
I think "Ray" is our best album. It's a good trick. An old rocker like myself needs an angle. Rule derless" and "The Turnpike Down" and "My Drug Buddy" are among my best ever songs .
Well, I started out just praying to the deity of 1977 punk - The Users, The Nosebleeds, The Adverts, The Pagans, The Pistols, etc. - and then I backed off a bit and got interested in melody, nostalgia and slow country. Somewhere in 1987-88 I went through a serious metal phase.
Q: HOW HAS YOUR MUSICAL STYLE EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS?
Meredith Sheldon, The Band, The Beach Boys and that first Specials record, The MC5, Black Flag, and that girl that does the umbrella-ella-ella song.

Pete williams is currently working on "Weird Bodily Noises: Race, Gender, and Alternative Jazz History" in Kansas City.
When you hear the words "weird bodily noises," what do you think of? I'm sure it's nothing close to jazz music. Pete Williams is working on a project called "Weird Bodily Noises: Race, Gender, and Alternative Jazz History in Kansas City." His research focuses on jazz and improvising musicians, artists, and dancers in Kansas City whose performances challenge widespread ideas about race and gender in American society. "I'm not as interested in defining what jazz is and who a jazz musician is, but I am interested in the ways that other people do that, especially musicians," he savs.
Williams, a Ph.D candidate and graduate student in the American studies department, was inspired by Kansas Citybased jazz performer Mark Southerland's band Snuff Jazz when they performed in Lawrence three years ago. He thought Snuff Jazz was interesting and complex. The band stuck out to him because they
were different than the mainstream music he heard around Lawrence. These jazz musicians incorporate music costumes, lights, stage settings, and other aspects of performance that we don't usually associate with jazz. Williams decided to explore this type of improvised jazz that is spontaneous, interactive, skillful, and often performed in groups.
Williams' research goes deeper than just the technical elements of the music. He is interested in the connection between jazz, race and gender and whether the way jazz musicians move has anything to do with their perceived race or gender. Jazz studies often only focus on the sound of jazz music as if it were abstract, not the physical presence of a musician making the music. As part of his research, he asks musicians what it's like to play music, asks dancers what it's like to move on stage with musicians, and also observes the way they do these things.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.

"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Comeing off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more', and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach,' Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

BLESSING AND A CURSE:
Students in food service speak out about what it's like from the other side // JOHN GARFIELD
PHOTO BY JOHN GARFIELD
[Image]
H
Heavy homework and odd schedules lead many students to food service in pursuit of a quick, convenient
buck.
By constituting both supply and demand in the industry, students as customers are often not unlike those serving them. In spite of this, many students are still bad customers, according to employees.
To gain perspective on the issue, I interviewed Brett, a KU grad with line-service experience, Emily, a transfer student and waitress, Daniel, a former Haskell student and delivery driver, and Kara, a KU student with waiting and delivery experience.
Given the condition of anonymity, they were able to share candidly without fearing for their jobs.
THE INDUSTRY
When I asked Brett if students sympathize with food-service employees, his response was nothing if not depressing:
"It was clear that people of all ages and social statuses barely view those in the service industry as people, let alone anything like themselves."
Though he admits frequent exceptions to this, the other interviewees, overall, supported his claim.
Kara explained waiting tables as an inherently humbling experience because many regard it as a lowly occupation that defines the employee. This sentiment she explains as especially frustrating when it comes from student customers.
She expresses pride, however, in working her way through school while having to watch other students out having fun. Emily also admits learning a lot about character and integrity from waiting — something she hypothesized the more judgmental folks know little about.
TIPPING
Of all aspects of the employee-custom er relationship, tipping is paramount for servers and drivers.
Though many believe the burden of compensation to lie on management, most servers and drivers are paid below minimum wage. They instead perform services for the customer, where the customer's compensation is essential to their jobs.
Serving wages amount to an entire $2.13 an hour. Drivers, though paid more in the $4-6/hr. range, have to pay for fuel and frequent maintenance. Though stores often supply delivery fees to reimburse fuel, Daniel explains that customers often mistake this for a tip.
For Emily and Kara, it is obvious that being stiffed does not always mean a customer has malicious intent. Many students, they believe, are not aware that they are supposed to tip because their parents have always paid or because of different customs in their native country.
There do, however, exist those who justify not tipping because they cannot afford it. If you ask servers, though, that is tantamount to not having money to eat out or order delivery.
Though perhaps a result of not depending on tips, Brett reminds us that there are sympathetic students who are good tippers and that "it isn't fair to just throw young people and students under the bus."
INTOXICATION
As long as students party, drunkenness will present problems to food service. Surprisingly, the interviewees regarded intoxicated patrons more as wild cards than anything.
"Drunk customers go either way," Emily says, explaining that they are either "super sweet and love you" or "still love you but totally forget to tip."
Brett goes a step further, saying drunks can be entertaining. Emily, as well, acknowledged that, if nothing else, they were good for a laugh.
Though Daniel expresses frustration about catering to the wasted, he reports that they are often good tippers in groups, with stoners being his favorite customers.
As Kara will tell you, however, coordinating deliveries can be tedious when drunk students attempt to yell over parties without knowing their address, phone number or order.
Despite their occasional charm, drunken customers exhibit some nasty tendencies, something Kara knows all too well. At her old job, students would frequently trash the event room with some having actually urinated in the hallways.
BREAKS
Though criticism pervaded the interviews, absence seemed to make hearts grow fonder when it came to school being out.
Emily and Kara express that, as servers their jobs are less stressful when students are gone, but that they ultimately want them back.
This condition, however, proved subject to whether the employee's earnings reflected their tips.
As an hourly line worker, Brett disagreed, proclaiming that "there were nice things about them being in town, but I don't know anyone who didn't adore the time you got to catch your breath when they were gone."
For some, however, a much-needed respite is worth the drop-off in business.
Though, as a delivery driver, Daniel depended on tips, he readily expresses the scorn he developed working for a big chain: "the tips lacked, but I was sane."
TIPS ON TIPPING
Restaurants:
<10% - deplorable service
10% - bad or impolite
15% - alright
20% - good service
>25%+ - exceptional
Deliveries:
$5 - 20: $2-3
$20 - 50: $3-6
$50-100: $5-10

There are no hard rules. Long meals and long drives deserve special consideration.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
The men took cell phones, mar

cash, most of which was located in a safe.
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,' Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you.'
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe." Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested,but said he will remain more attentive.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on." Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show. "I mean, I still did fine in school, but I got an A- and I'm a perfectionist. I've put a lot of my friendships on hold and my relationships on hold."

I'm going to be even more nervous because I'm a director and there's even more pressure," Henzlik said.
Kirk Morrison, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla., first participated in Rock Chalk as a freshman as a way to branch out.
"I'm from out-of-state and I was fairly new to the house and the community, so I figured it would be a good way to get to know people," Morrison said. "It turned out to be an awesome experience."

--my sport. But against Northern Illinois earlier this season, I got the chance to score a get-ahead touchdown on fourth down, with nine seconds left in the game. And it was one of the best feelings I've ever had.
What it's like...
to play football for KU as told to Matt Galloway by D.J. Beshears
CONTRUBUTED PHOTO FROM KUSPORTS.COM
D. J. Beshears is a junior wide receiver for the Kansas football team. On Sept. 10 against Northern Illinois, the Denton, Texas native would make a play he and the crowd at Memorial Stadium would not soon forget. In a wild game with a surplus of offense and a deficit of defense, the layhays trailed late, 38-42. Then the "D.J. drive" happened.
Football players rarely get the chance for walk-off wins. In baseball, you can win it in the bottom of the ninth. In basketball, you can hit a late buzzer-beater to seal the victory. It just isn't as common for position players in
I was able to put us in great field position on that last drive with my kickoff return. I got some good blocks, but I also had to make some guys miss on my own. I spun off a tackle and hit the sidelines, and from there, it was off to the races.
right there.
We drove down to first and goal fairly easily, but we hit a wall right outside of the Northern Illinois end zone. It got more and more tense in the huddle as we failed to score on the first, second and third downs. Coach called a timeout before fourth down and we had a chance to regroup. Then when the play call came in Jordan Webb, my quarterback, the pressure kind of dropped a bit to be honest. It was a mesh play, and we had run it tons of times in

me and stopped me from scoring the touch-down. Looking back, it was probably better that we were able to drain a lot of time off the clock given the way the game was going, but I wasn't thinking of that at the time. In the heat of the moment, I was definitely trying to score
practice that week. It was something we all executed very well. In the huddle, Jordan told the line to get
their blocks, and if they could hold the defense off for at least nine seconds, we would score.
As it turns out, Jordan only needed three seconds. I was actually his last read on that play. I was dragging along the goal line and
the defense was in man coverage. The pass came in kind of wobbly, but I was able to reach forward and grab it at the one yard line. From there, I fell backwards into the end zone and heard the 50,000 people at Memorial Stadium erupt in cheering. I didn't even need to look at the ref. I knew I'd scored. God was on my side, and he helped me get in there.
The referee did confirm it, but they decided to review just to be safe. My wide receivers coach David Beaty actually came up to me on the sidelines. He was praying that I caught it.
"D.J., are you sure you caught it?" he asked.
"Yeah. I know it not, it coach." I said.
The play was upheld, and our defense held them out of the end zone on their final Hail Mary play. To be honest, it was really Jordan who led us to victory that night. I was just glad to accommodate him.
That week, I got props from my teammates, the coaches and even the tutors. No students came up to me on campus and congratulated me, though. Maybe if I was a basketball player they would have. We don't get that much recognition since we wear helmets.

10 things you didn't know about
The Merc //KELSEA ECKENROTH
The Community Mercantile Market and Deli, better known as The Merc, is a full service grocery store that sells local, natural and organic foods and products. General manager Rita York provided these 10 things about The Merc, located at 901 Iowa St.
1
The Merc was founded in 1974 by Lawrence residents and was originally an organized buying club where people got together to buy bulk foods.
6
2
The mural on the outside wall of the Cork and Barrel at 9th and Mississippi streets is left from when The Merc used to occupy that location in 1993. Dave Loewenstein, a local artist, painted the mural.
7
The Merc works with more than 200 small local producers within a 200-mile radius of its location.
3
75 percent of the produce sold at the Merc is organic.
4
8
The Merc offers cooking, nutrition, and wellness classes taught by professional presenters.
9
The Merc partners with its non-profit sister organization, the Community Mercantile Education Foundation (CMEF), for the School Garden Project called "Growing Food, Growing Health." This project works to bring local food to Lawrence schools.
The Merc almost went out of business in 1993 after Wild Oats opened in Lawrence. The Merc survived because of the relationship and strong ties it has with the community. Wild Oats ended up going out of business instead.
5
Its seafood is 100 percent sustainable, with no growth hormones or antibiotics.
10 The Merc is represented as a coop. This means the community owns it and anyone can become an owner or shop there.

Eat This: Café Beautiful //RACHEL CHEON A beautiful private dining experience in Lawrence
Café Beautiful is a small, reservation-only restaurant located at 730 Massachusetts St. above Tonic. The chef prepares elegant 8-9 course meals consisting of various Japanese and Asian fusion foods, sushi being the specialty. Even though Café Beautiful does not have a sign outside or advertisements anywhere, Café beautiful has been in Lawrence for six years, and reservations for the week of Valentine's Day are already filled. Minh-Anh Pham, junior from Overland Park, went there with her boyfriend Yong Kam, senior from Seoul, South Korea in April last year. "From the dishes, quality, and ambiance, it was the best place to take my boyfriend for his birthday." savs Pham.
Melinda Roeder, chef and owner of the restaurant, took it over two months ago, after she got an offer from the founder and previous owner, Chef Suken. She first came to restaurant on a date
"You are only with the person you bring here. The intimacy, the pace of the night, and the experience is just so special." Roeder said. She cooks with local poultry and other ingredients from Kansas farmers. She buys fish from fishermen in New York, Seattle, and Honolulu. "I get to talk to the fisherman as he is yelling 'Hey, what are you pulling up down there?' to the shipman, and I get to ask him 'Hey, can I buy one of those?' and there's the fish on my doorstep, less than 24 hours in ice," says Roeder.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Robinson finished with 15 points his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
she sat courtside and watched her future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.
Edited by Amanda Gage
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much defeated 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

Out & About //RACHEL CHEON
As Valentine's Day approaches, it's inevitable to see couples or would-be couples planning dates. Dates are not always cheap, so I asked students: How often men should pay for dates?
I'll just put the text in a blockquote.
"Men are obligated to pay on dates. It's mens duty. For the most part, if he is taking out a woman on a date, he should pay. But it is nice to have your date for the date once in a while." Rithvik Mogali, freshmen from Overland Park.
"If it's just you two, the man should always pay. If it's a date in a big group, then you don't necessarily have to pay." Arthur Ankeney, junior from Columbia, Mo.
"It depends. If you guys are just starting to date, I think guys should always pay. If you've been dating for a while, it's okay to split half and half." Nilam Patel, junior from Rolla, Mo.
"I think 100 percent, unless she offers like on his birthday or something. Usually, gentlemen should do it." Pheonia Griffith, junior from Guvana, South America.
"I definitely think on first date, guy should pay. But since we are in college, I'll give leeway if we are dating." Emily Paulson, sophomore from Libertyville, Ill.
Amy
"I think that on the first date, guys should definitely pay, kind of to impress the girl. But I understand the financial situation, so it's up to each individuals." Jessica Leeker, junior from St. Louis.
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
"I think men should pay like first five dates until more serious relationship is established. Then they can start dividing the expenses." Marina Guzman, senior from Paraguay.
Men should always be willing to pay and offer, but probably once relatlionship progresses, it will start to even out." Josh Harper, graduate student from Ashville, N.C.
PETER
"Every time. It's like the way you breathe. Just do it every time. That's the way we do in Nigeria. Be a gentleman." Ike Chinonso, graduate student from Nigeria.
"I think we should all be gentlemen and just pay for our ladies. That's the least we can do." Bakary Suso, junior from Gambia.
B. W. H. K.
"Growing up, it's always been a gentleman thing, but it's nice to have women pay for a few dates. I think now, three-fourths of the time dates should be paid for by a guy, so that it reminds us that we are in a partnership." Belal Ndiaye, senior from Senegal.

According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
The men took cell phones, mar-
cash, most of which was located in a safe.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,' Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you.'
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe," Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.

Tea Time //RACHEL CHEON Would you like a cup of tea?
CHa
图
Forty percent of college students say they endure stress often, and 20 percent say that they are constantly stressed out, according to a 2008 survey by the Associated Press and college TV network mtvU.
Some students choose to rely on tea to deal with stress. Going out for tea calms and relaxes them, provides an environment to socialize with friends, and also makes them feel better about their health.
SOCIAL TIME
While going out for a tea can be a great way to spend time alone, it is also a great way to socialize. Joshua Kim, sophomore from Daejeon, South Korea, does not drink alcohol, but he still makes time to hang out with his friends at coffee houses, where they often get tea together. "It's nice to hang out with a group of friends while drinking non-alcoholic stuff," Kim says. It's less expensive than going out to eat. Tea is available at many coffee houses, and many coffee and tea houses are located near restaurants, which enables students to go socialize more after having meals together. Alex Zhao, junior from Shenzhen, China, goes out to eat several times a week, and always stops for tea after having a meal with friends.
"Many American foods are fried, have lots of cheese in them or are greasy. Drinking tea after having them makes my stomach feel better," Zhao said. She especially enjoys going to House of Cha and Starbucks after eating with friends downtown.
Marina Rusuck, a senior from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, says that although she usually drinks tea at night to relax and focus better when writing papers or studying, she also drinks tea to socialize with friends, especially going out to drink bubble tea. “It's usually with friends. It's like a chill thing,” Rusuck says.
RELAXATION
Tea can help with relaxation and reducing stress. According to a study done by University College London in 2006, teas, especially black teas, reduce the hormone called cortisol. Reducing cortisol helps you sleep better, lose weight and reduce stress.
When Joshua Kim gets gloomy, he takes his laptop to coffee shops and orders tea to reduce his stress. "It pulls me together," Kim says. He enjoys the variety of warm teas that are available, especially Solomon's Seal Tea. Alex Klinghoffer, senior from Overland Park, likes to drink sleepytime, peach, and chamomile tea for relaxation as well. "I like drinking tea before bed or when I read because it helps me to relax," Klinghoffer says.
HEALTH
Teas are relatively cheaper than espresso drinks, are widely available and provide multiple benefits that can help students, such as maintaining healthy weight, healthy skin and providing caffeine. Drinking three cups of green tea a day helps burn fat and reduce appetite because the caffeine and metabolite (called flavonoids) in tea speeds up the rate that your body burns calories, according to research reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Emma Leturgez, owner of local teahouse House of Cha, says she sees some students trying to switch from coffee to tea due to health benefits like these. For students who are making the switch from coffee to tea, Leturgez recommends Chai tea. "A good transition would be Chai tea here because Chai and coffee are kind of similar," Leturgez says.

Teas to try at various places in Lawrence:

STARBUCKS (Various locations)
Come to the lobby for teatime hosted by Student Union Activities. There is free tea, fruit punch, and cookies from 3-4p.m. on Thursdays. STARDUCKS
Try a green tea latte. The baristas use green tea powder to create this delicious latte. You can ask for extra powder in the drink if you want a stronger green tea flavor. The green tea latte is not posted on the menu, but Starbucks at 647 Massachusetts St. has it.
JAVA BREAK (17 East Seventh St.)
HOUSE OF CHA (21 West Ninth St.)
Try Java Break's homemade chai. In their menu, it says "we start with our English breakfast tea and slowly simmer it for more than an hour with honey, vanilla, and various spices before adding milk to order." Definitely sounds more luxurious and better than teabag chai tea.
Emma Leturgez, owner, says that bubble teas are the most popular among KU students who come. "Among them, taro flavor is the most popular. People really like that one," Leturgez said. For non-bubble teas, try a pot of dark black pu-erh. "It's also a pretty popular tea because people think it's something that only we have down here, and it also has a nice earthy flavor," she says.
BRITS (929 Massachusetts St.)
At Brits, you can buy imports from Britain, including their famous teas. One of their best-selling products is Ahmed Lemon & Lime Black Tea. This tea can be either enjoyed hot or iced.

Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you." Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

STANLEY'S
Amanda Gage (left) and Whitney Tangeman (right) dressed up for a night out on the town
I woke up abruptly and spastically jerked upright after a patchy, in-and-out night's worth of sleep. The restless type of sleep before a big change. Today was move-in day—I was officially in college. So, I packed up the car and did my best to look presentable as I fought tired eyes by applying more makeup than usual. I had no idea what was about to go down. My mind circled around one thing—my roommate whom I'd never met.
My mom lived in Corbin when she attend KU and fondly looks back on memories she made there, so I decided to follow in her footsteps. I knew a few friends from high school would be living there, but I ventured out of my comfort zone when I decided to go potluck and test if I could live with someone I knew nothing about. As a moderately shy girl before college, I would never go up to someone I didn't know and just begin a conversation. Now I would be living with someone I had never even seen before, so you could imagine my nervousness.
Finally after months of waiting, I saw the letter on the kitchen table that would
roommate. As my mom handed it over, my heartbeat quick-ened
My inability to think straight made the ten—minute drive from my house to Corbin seem like eternity. My mom and I approached the huge line of cars parked up 11th Street and the realness of the situation set in. I quit responding to my mom's mundane questions reviewing if I had everything and felt my brow line raise up in worry as I watched boys, girls and parents haul mountains of shoes and clothes intertwined with hangers up the hill.
We finally made it to the front door. At some point during the blur of the move-in, I spotted Whitney in the lobby. I did a double-take, and sure enough it was her. "Hey, Whitney, right?" were the first words I could blurt out, and when a large smile came across her face my nerves simmered as she responded, "Hey, room-
moment for months, so I justified my Facebook stalker status, and there she was. Her big, bright smile and eyes were in sync and her brown hair was wavy and full. The words "so cute" immediately came to mind. Her image marinated in my mind as I wondered what she'd be like.
"Yeah, a little creepy, but I didn't even care. I had been anitcipating this moment for months."

months..."

practically ripped it open. KU Housing welcomes you, blah blah blah—Whitney Tangeman. Out loud and in my head, I repeated her last name a few times in an effort to score the correct pronunciation. I immediately switched gears, hopped a few feet over to the computer and opened Facebook. Yeah, a little creepy, but I didn't even care. I had been anticipating this
later liked to joke was the "presidential suite" because it was the biggest room on Corbin's highest floor. Whitney was extremely considerate, and her politeness surpassed anyone I had ever met.I could sense her warmness in her voice and gestures.
My overall reaction was relief, Granted,
I didn't know how the rest of the semester would turn out at that point, but the vibes I was getting from Whitney were comforting. Whitney and I were alike in that we both were a little shy and very polite, and I could tell that we would get along. I was proud of myself for being confident and open enough to go potluck because it was something that could have potentially left me in a very bad situation and hindered my ability to transition into college and have the great friends that I have now.
From move-in on, it was a learning experience. Our lives began to merge together when we conveniently ended up in the same sorority and we were lucky enough to share date parties, chapter events, and freshman outings with our other Kappa sisters together. It really connected us.
As our relationship grew, we realized how lucky we were and that we really clicked. We were always considerate of
each other. It was second nature for us to chat about pretty much anything up until we said goodnight each night. We adapted to each other which allowed us to successfully coexist.
Going potluck truly made me a more confident person, which allowed me to easily make new friends in college. Pre-Whitney, I was skeptical of change and meeting new people and nervous of how I would handle it because I've always been somewhat reserved. Growing up in Lawrence and knowing most of my hometown friends for the majority of my life never really allowed me to branch out and meet new people, and I tended to stick to my friend group and blend in. But I pleasantly surprised myself with this major decision, and a lot of it was because I got Whitney. She opened me up and greatly influenced me to come out of my shell.

Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.

Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,' Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you."
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe." Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
"I will definitely check out whoever comes over from now on," Hartwell said. "I'm just going to be more careful."

Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show.

the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.
She sat courtside and watched her future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.
Edited by Amanda Gage
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play
"Coming off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more,' and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach," Texas coach Gail Goostenkors said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.

EMPLOYEE REWARDS
University employees are receiving their first salary increase in four years
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
University faculty, staff and student employees are eligible for raises beginning this semester in an effort to reward their hard work. The salary increases are the first for any University personnel in the past four years.
"The University is only as good as the people working for it, and so we want to make sure we are able to recruit and retain talented employees," said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for the University.
The raises are a result of the Board of Regent's decision last June to use tuition dollars to give select raises upon recommendation by students and faculty alike on the University's tuition advisory committee.
The measure gave each department an extra two percent to its
salary budget, which the department could then distribute to its employees as it sees fit.
Megan Hicks, a senior from Oxford, is in her third year of working as a teaching assistant in the School of Business, working 25 hours a week. Although Hicks did not see a raise this semester, she felt the move was good for the University.
"I feel like business school student employees already have higher wages than other offices on campus," Hicks said. "I think it's good to reward successful employees who work hard."
Andrew Filmore, a senior from Belle Plaine, works as a student assistant in the library for KU Info. Like Hicks, Filmore did not see a raise this semester, but did not see the need for one. He works 13 hours each week, and makes above minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour in Kansas.
"With this job, I can do homework while I'm at work," Filmore said. "I'm not expecting an enormous amount."
However, some student jobs were affected. Cassie Corrigan, a sophomore from Boulder, Colo. works as a cashier at the Hawk Food Stop in the Spahr Engineering Library. Though operated by Memorial Unions, her job is considered an on-campus job. This semester the hourly wage increased from $7.50 to $7.65 per hour. However, the slight raise is not the main incentive for working on campus.
"The raise does not make much of a difference just because we get other benefits, which I care more about," Corrigan said.
These benefits include a ten percent discount anywhere on campus besides books or electronics, five dollars worth of food each day she works, and the convenience of flexible hours on campus.
RAISES ON CAMPUS
The following groups received raises:
880 student hourly employees
880 student hourly employees 617 Graduate Teaching assistants

Despite the abundance of neon-hued clothing and a disturbing number of fanny packs, the students working to perfect this year's Rock Chalk Revue are all business. The 1980s-themed attire encourages an enjoyable atmosphere while the 250 sorority and fraternity members continue to work toward their goal of creating a great show.

Issues to focus on this week in politics
- Opinion Contributor Devon Cantwell considers Rick Santorum's statements that pregnancies resulting from rape are a "gift from God." One in 6 women and 1 in 4 college women are survivors of attempted or completed rape in the U.S., and Cantwell argues that Santorum's rhetoric can create harmful consequences on college campuses.
- Last week, we asked you: Should the children of illegal immigrants be eligible for in-state tuition? Nearly 57 percent of you said yes.
"Assuming the student graduated from a Kansas high school, these residents, generally, are assimilated into the state fabric. They are us. If we treat them with respect it will pay dividends," responded one voter. Check out PoliticalFiber.com to see what others have said.

Santorum defends use of earmarks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Under attack for his spending habits in Congress, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum defended his use of earmarks, saying Thursday that some were necessary for defense or health programs.
With the ex-senator's surprising climb back into contender status with a trio of wins this week in the race to become the GOP's presidential nominee, Santorum has become the subject of biting criticism from rival Mitt Romney.
The former Massachusetts governor is challenging Santorum's commitment to fiscal discipline by pointing out spending set-asides he sought during the days when he represented Pennsylvania in Congress.
The taint of earmarks, or spending that lawmakers direct to favorite projects, still dogs candidates
courting the fiscally conservative tea party movement, which explains why Romney and his allies have been pounding Santorum on the issue.
Santorum upset Romney this week by winning nominating contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri.
Campaigning in strongly conservative Oklahoma. Santorum defended his record and argued that earmarks were a legislative
check on the executive branch.
"There are good earmarks and bad earmarks," he told reporters after a speech.
Santorum specifically defended targeted spending for the V-22 Osprey helicopter and a human tissue medical program in Pittsburgh. He declined to identify any earmarks he regretted.
On Wednesday, Romney said Santorum and former Speaker Newt Gingrich belong to a catago-
ry of Republicans who "spent too much money, borrowed too much money, earmarked too much."
Santorum said Thursday that he fought to end earmarks amid concerns that lawmakers were abusing the practice. He tried to turn the issue back on Romney, who is having trouble winning over the conservative voters that Santorum, himself a conservative, is appealing to.

Tibetan monk sets himself on fire in support of Dalai Lama
BEIJING, China — Another Tibetan has set himself on fire in western China to protest government policies while thousands marched in another part of China to show support for their exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, a report said.
The London-based International Campaign for Tibet and Free Tibet groups said the Tibetan who set himself on fire on Wednesday in Sichuan province's Aba prefecture was a 19-year-old former monk from the local Kirti monastery, which has been the scene of protests over recent months.
Both groups said the monk had been taken to hospital.
U. S.-funded Radio Free Asia said the man was taken away by soldiers and police. It said he shouted slogans before setting himself ablaze, citing a statement from Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering, exiledibetan monks in India.
traditionally Tibetan areas of Sichuan province. There were reports of three other self-immolations on Friday, but the government has denied them and there are doubts within the exile community.
Most of those who have set themselves on fire have chanted for Tibetan freedom and the return of the Dalai Lama, who fled to India amid an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959.
If confirmed, the incident would bring to at least 17 the number of monks, nuns and lay Tibetans believed to have set themselves on fire over the last year, mostly in

Mexican army finds dozens of barrels of methamphetamine
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — The historic seizure of 15 tons of pure methamphetamine in western Mexico, equal to half of all meth seizures worldwide in 2009, feeds growing speculation that the country could become a world platform for meth production, not just a supplier to the United States.
The sheer scale of the bust announced late Wednesday in Jalisco state suggests involvement of the powerful Sinaloa cartel, a major international trafficker of cocaine and marijuana that has moved into meth production and manufacturing on an industrial scale.
Army officials didn't say what drug gangs could have been behind
the dozens of blue barrels filled with powdered meth. Army Gen, Gilberto Hernandez Andreu said the meth was ready for packaging. There was no information on where the drugs were headed.
Jalisco has long been considered the hub of Sinaoa's meth production and trafficking. Meanwhile, meth use is growing in the United States, already the world's biggest market for illicit drugs.
The haul could have supplied 13 million doses worth over $4 billion on U.S. streets.
A senior U.S. law enforcement official in Mexico said Thursday this week's bust in Jalisco was "probably Sinaloa."

first year.
Next fall the University will be implementing a common book program in hopes of creating an academic "icebreaker" to help freshmen and transfer students better adjust to the University. Students will be required to read a book, either fiction or nonfiction, which will be handed out during orientation, with the goal of reducing the number of students who drop out after their first year in college.
Carol Holstead, associate professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications and committee member of the common book program, said that 20 percent of freshmen drop out after their
"We feel like this is something that students can get excited about," Holstead said. "It gives students a common factor, something they can talk about with other students. Studies have shown the more engaged a student is in school, the more likely they are to succeed."
The book for next year has not been chosen yet. Assistant Vice Provost for First Year Experiences and Learning Initiatives' Sarah Crawford-Parker said in an email that the steering committee has narrowed the list down to five books and will be selecting a book in April. One hundred twenty-five books were suggested and more than 140 individuals submitted book nominations.
"We want to pick a book for the first year where the author can come speak to the students," Holstead said. "We want to find a unique book, something that students have not read in high school. Other things we looked at was to make sure the book wasn't too long, and the reading level."
A committee is currently being formed to read all five books, and choose the book based on different criteria.
Not all students agree with the common book program. Senior Aaron Harris, a transfer student from UMKC and Student Rights Chair of the University Senate Executive Committee, does not like the idea of being forced to read a book.
"I think it's insulting to tell a transfer student, you know what, you've gone to college for one or two years, yet we are still going to treat you like a freshman," Harris said.

"This program will help us to better support our first-year students by providing opportunities for small group interactions and a shared academic experience," Crawford-Parker said. "Peer-topear and student-to-faculty interactions improve persistence in the first year and beyond."
Crawford-Parker said the common book will be utilized in classes and tied to course assignments.

Capitol legalizes same-sex marriage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA, Wash. — The last time same-sex marriage was debated in the state Capitol, the Legislature's sole gay lawmaker watched as his colleagues passed the state's version of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1998 banning gay marriage. Fourteen years after that "lonely moment," Sen. Ed Murray stood in the wings as lawmakers approved his bill allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.
"I didn't think I would be in office to see marriage equality passed," Murray, D-Seattle, said Wednesday night. "It was incredibly moving to watch a new generation of gay and lesbian lawmakers in the House standing up and carrying the torch."
The Washington House passed the bill on a 55-43 vote earlier in the day. Supporters in the public-viewing galleries cheered as many on the Democratic side of the House floor hugged.
The state Senate approved the measure last week. Wednesday's vote sends the bill to Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire, who is expected to sign it into law next week.
The passage came a day after a federal appeals court declared California's ban on gay marriage unconstitutional, ruling it was a violation of the civil rights of gay and lesbian couples.
She issued a statement saying it was "a major step toward completing a long and important journey to end discrimination based on sexual orientation."
Democratic Rep. Jamie Pedersen, a gay lawmaker from Seattle who has also sponsored gay rights bills for several years, cited Tuesday's ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals during his remarks on the House floor. He noted a section that stated "marriage is the name that society gives to the relationship that matters most between two adults."
Several Republicans argued that the bill goes against the tradition of marriage, Rep. Jay Rodne, R Snoqualmie, said the measure "severs the cultural, historical and legal underpinnings of the institution of marriage."
Several Republican amendments were rejected, including one that would have added private businesses and individuals, such as bakers
Two Republicans — Reps. Glenn Anderson of Fall City and Maureen Walsh of College Place — crossed the aisle and voted in favor of the bill. Three Democrats voted against it. Reps. Chris Hurst of Enumelau, Steve Kirby of Tacoma and Mark Miloscia of Federal Way. Democrats hold a 56-42 majority in the House.
and photographers, to an exemption in the measure that doesn't require religious organizations or churches to perform marriages and doesn't subject them to penalties if they don't marry gay or lesbian couples. Another would have required a one-month residency requirement before people could get married in Washington.

The proposal would take effect 90 days after the session ends next month, but opponents have promised to fight back with a ballot measure that would allow voters to overturn the legislative approval.
If opponents gather enough signatures to take their fight to the ballot box, the law would be put on hold pending the outcome of a November election. They must turn in more than 120,000 signatures by June 6 if they want to challenge the
were in high school and had to read books over the summer," Harris said. "We made fun of the book, and said what was on our mind during the discussions. It brought us closer together because we all agreed the program was a waste of time."
Washington state has had domestic partnership laws since 2007, and more than a dozen other states have provisions, ranging from domestic partnerships to gay marriage, supporting same-sex couples.
proposed law. Otherwise gay couple could wed starting in June.
Gay marriage is legal in New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington, D.C. Lawmakers in New Jersey are expected to vote on gay marriage next week, and Maine could see a gay marriage proposal on the November ballot.
Proposed amendments to ban gay marriage will be on the ballots in North Carolina in May and in Minnesota in November.
California's voter-approved same-sex marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, was rejected by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit on Tuesday. The panel gave gay-marriage opponents time to appeal before allowing same-sex weddings to resume. The judges also said the decision only applies to California, even though the court has jurisdiction in nine western states.
Harris, who went through a similar program at UMKC, said the common book program didn't work when he was a freshman.
The Steering Committee is currently looking at strategies to ensure broad participation in programs designed to engage students outside of the classroom.

West gets nominated voters are skeptical
But West has yet to win a Grammy in the general category, which holds the four major prizes — record, song and album of the year and best new artist. This year, he only has one major nomination — a song of the year bid for "All of the Lights" — to go with five nominations in the hip-hop category and one nod for best packaging.
GRAMMYS
Nominations for the general category are handled by a special Grammy council, set up to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing nominations of the past, and voted on by all the members of the Record- ing Academy. Nominations in all the other categories are made and voted on by academy members who specialize in that category.
LOS ANGELES — Kanye West has a great batting average when it comes to the Grammys.
Before this year, he had been nominated 29 times and won 14. Sunday night, he's up for seven awards, making him the most-nominated artist at the show for the fourth time in the past seven years.

Herself still wants everyone off the farm, but then he suffers a relapse of sorts. He leaves the farm, then Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Rick set out to find him. Pregnant Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) will need a doctor for delivery one of these days.
Sunday picks up precisely where the first half of the season left off, and I do mean precisely. The gun barrels are still smoking, and shock, grief and disbelief are as thick as the midsummer Georgia heat. Poor Sophia, missing these weeks, was dead all along? (Or even worse: is she among the walking dead?) Yes, and she thus became
a particularly grim symbol and affirmation of "The Walking Dead's" only real credo — that in a truly apocalyptic world, hope is only for fools.
Fans were conflicted — especially me — about the advisability of killing a little girl, even if she was a zombie. Nevertheless, it was absolutely true to this series' nihilistic spirit. Sunday's episode is entitled "Nebraska," which could be a MacGuffin — or a red herring. But either way, the word (and state) figure in an especially shocking scene that reinforces the credo once again.
"Dead" remains good, while the tone gets darker and darker. It'll be a smart, grim start to the second half. AMC premieres episode eight of this season on Sunday at 9 p.m. EST.

"We were so happy that after 20 years of stalling, Pina and I were

SOFTBALL
Season starts with five-game tournament
SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
Kansas softball coach Megan Smith has high expectations coming into the spring softball season. Last season, the team broke the all-time single-season record with 60 home runs.
The Jayhawks are heading to Hammond, La., to open the spring schedule for their first of five games at the Southeastern Lion Classic. The Jayhawks will face Tennessee-Martin Friday at 12:30 p.m. along with Troy, Jackson State, Southeastern Louisiana State and Northern Colorado throughout the weekend.
Opening the season with a weekend of five games is just what the team needs to jump-start the season, said junior outfielder Rosie Hull.
"Pre-conference is about winning games and not having played since May," she said. "It gets us ready for conference play."
Losing junior Alex Jones to a torn ACL after 106 consecutive games in two seasons as the starting center
fielder gives
others a
chance to
step up this
season,
Smith said.
"Last year we were a couple of games away from making it to the NCAA tournament," she said. "This year the team goal is pretty clear. We are aiming to make regionals."
The team has three starters returning in the infield with two newcomers, freshman Chanin Naudin, VYPE Magazine's 2011 North Texas/Collin County Softball MVP, and Maddie Stein.
"I think Chanin is the type of

switched off at shortstop and second base last season, combining for 200 putouts and assists and 12 double plays. Montgomery and Newman will continue to help the Jayhawks' defense in the infield this season.

Three new Jayhawks will step up to the mound this season. Emily Stokes, a freshman from Hamilton City, Calif., Alicia Pille, a freshman from Royse City, Texas, and Morgan Druhan, a junior transfer from the University of South Alabama. Smith said Druhan is experienced, poised and confident on the mound.
"Alicia has looked really good in practice and Emily has shown improvement in practice as well," Smith said.
Redshirt senior Liz Kocon addresses the media at Softball Media Day. The team travels to Hammond,La., for the Southeastern Lion Classic. It is the first tournament of the spring softball season. Last season the team finished just shy of regional play and hope to play through a challenging Big 12 season.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Rosie said the three new players add depth.
"Having five pitchers who we can go to and be completely confident in them, that's a really good feeling," she said.
Pille said the pitchers are going to work together to get through the games this season.
The outfield has four returning players with dominate upperclassmen. Maggie made the AllBig 12 second team last season and had a .346 batting average with 49 RBIs and 56 hits, and her sister Rosie made Academic AllBig 12 First Team and won the team's academic award with a 4.0 GPA. Senior outfielder Liz Koon had 14 home runs last season and was Academic AllBig 12 First Team, Team Captain.
"Liz is more prepared than anyone, she knows what it takes to get ready," Smith said. "She has been through it and we feel really good about how she will perform this season."
"It's about keeping batters off balance and between the five of us, I think we are going to do really well," she said.
The mild winter has given the
team the opportunity to practice outside and provide the pitchers with a live-game setting. Maggie said it allows the infield to adjust for outside games because a softball reacts differently on turf than it does on dirt and gives the team an advantage that teams in the north might not have. Rosie said the practice outside has increased the amount of throwing and has helped the outfielders.
"We have a huge spot to fill, but we have two girls who are good enough to play there. Overall we have a lot of different tools in the
outfield that we can go with and that's really exciting," she said.
Due to conference realignment, the Jayhawks will play each Big 12 team three times. Smith has encouraged the team to go into every game without knowing their opponents.
"We want to focus on ourselves," Smith said. "We don't need to have any preconceived notions of any team. If we focus on what we need to do we will be successful."

Concealed carry encourages danger
POLITICS
Allowing weapons on campus would create more risks than benefits for the University
How many different ways can the Bill of Rights be interpreted? While some of the ten amendments are fairly
of the ten ameno, straight forward, others are not so clear. The Second Amendment has been up for individual interpretations recently among Kansas Legislators. A bill (House Bill 2353) is currently being
thing that seems feasible?
Paying guards and installing metal detectors in buildings across campus is simply another
"
reason for the University of Kansas to
debated in the Kansas House of Representatives which would allow concealed carry of weapons on college campuses, as well as other public buildings
"One accidental gunshot victim on a college campus is one too many."
Currently, according to Kansas Concealed Carry Permit Information any community college, college or university facility is off limits when carrying a concealed weapon. This Bill, if passed, would remove such regulations.
The Bill includes a stipulation allowing firearms to be prohibited in buildings, as long as metal detectors and armed guards are in place at the front of said building. With as many buildings as this campus has, is that really some-
raise its tuition rates and campus fees. This could even possibly
lead to the privatization of colleges all
across the state, leading to even higher tuition rates.
Those supporting this bill argue that if students carried concealed weapons, those responsible for school shootings could be stopped sooner, saving lives. While this may be a valid point, what they do not consider is the impulse reactions that go through the minds of college students.
Gun rights advocates and others who support this bill say that the Second Amendment guarantees the rights of the individual in this case. However, the amendment, which reads, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the
By Ryan Schlesener
rschlesener@kansan.com
right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" mentions nothing about concealed carry permit holders.
According to a 2001 study by Matthew Miller appearing in "Accident Analysis and Prevention," approximately 50 people are unintentionally shot every day in America. Also, every other day a child under the age of 15 dies in the United States from unintentional gunfire.
Supporters will argue that those who have concealed carry weapon permits are well trained and responsible. But even so, accidents happen. Increasing the number of guns on campus will concurrently increase the number of accidental gunshots. One accidental gunshot victim on a college campus is one too many.
Andy Tompkins, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, said in a recent Lawrence Journal World interview, "The safety and security efforts of these universities would be substantially undermined, if not crippled, by the passage of House Bill 2353." Tompkins also went on to say that allowing weapons on campus would increase risk of violence, and potentially cause harm to both students and faculty.
The University of Kansas stands firmly in opposition to this Bill. I do as well. When you look at all aspects of the Bill that come into play, there are far too many dangers in allowing
20-somethingyear-old students to carry concealed weapons on campus.
While there are some valid pro arguments in this debate, (i.e. ending of school shootings faster, protection in emergency) the cons far outweigh the pros. I support the Constitution, but this Bill uses the elastic clause in ways that are not necessary. I side with the Kansas Board of Regents in this debate. Keep our campus free of weapons, and you will naturally have a safer campus.

Vietnamese cuisine

The Little Saigon Cafe is at 1524 West 23rd Street in Lawrence. The restaurant offers a wide variety of unique and delicious Vietnamese cuisine.
Locally owned hidden gem
Vietnamese cuisine offers a delicious alternative
The trends of "Pan Asian" and "Asian Fusion" restaurants have given some people the tendency to lump all Asian foods into the same category, which is a shame because each individual Asian country has its own equally individual cooking styles, ingredients, flavors and textures. Vietnamese food is easily one of the most delicious and unfortunately overlooked cuisines; it hasn't gained the same mainstream popularity that Chinese and Japanese foods have.
Thankfully, one Lawrence restaurant is working to change that, and it might just be Lawrence's best kept secret. Little Saigon Cafe is a fabulous restaurant serving up authentic Vietnamese fare at a price college students can afford.
This tiny place is on 23rd Street, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's small. It has about five tables total and is tucked behind a nail salon and dry cleaner's. The same friendly family greets you every time

The dish Little Saigon specializes in is pho — a Vietnamese noodle soup. Traditionally the rich, spice-infused broth is beef based with fresh rice noodles, meat, and topped with green onion, cilantro, bean sprouts, lime juice and other bright and crisp ingredients to balance out the deep and heavy flavors of the soup.

Considering it's what their best known for, I would definitely recommend starting with some sort of noodle soup your first time there. They're too delicious to pass up!

They serve another Vietnamese classic, bun, and great and affordable appetizer selections like fresh spring rolls and fried shrimp and sweet potato lettuce wraps and even Bobo teas.
So branch out and try something new. Little Saigon is a great restaurant with a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes sure to please.I highly recommend giving it a chance and supporting one of Lawrence's locally owned, best kept secrets.

Divisive speech harmful to society
Presidential elections and primaries bring out the worst in people - both candidates and voters. Leading up to the election, candidates put on a never ending barrage of ads attacking each other, presidential debates are more like circuses, and some voters go on holier-than-thou rants about how their candidate will end all the world's ills and bring joy and happiness to all.
This, my friends, is terribly un-classy.
And it's no wonder why we are often unable to compromise today both in politics and our private lives. Instead of acknowledging our differences, reasonably debating an issue, and then coming to a conclusive decision of what is best, our critical thinking skills have devolved into demagoguery and personal attacks.
Too many times I see people snicker when someone disagrees with them. Too many times I see a majority lambast a minority as ignorant and uncivilized without actually listening to the opinions of those who dissent. And too many times I see someone attacking a person rather than an argument. How as a society are we ever to better ourselves when we can't even have the common decency to respect each other's individuality and difference of opinion?
The fiber of our political character as a nation should rely on our ability to debate and come to a conclusion that is in the best interest of the country and not in the best interest of a party. When divisive words, ads, or debates tell us any different, then as a society we have failed.

And most unfortunate of all, those who are willing to compromise and reach across the political isle while also remaining true to their convictions do not make it very far in politics. Our two party system has radicalized many of us and not in a way that is beneficial to democracy.
Where have men and women like this gone? In today's world, it is rare to see opponents acknowledge each other's strengths and even rarer to see them shun underhanded criticisms and attacks.
had said that night. Rather than jumping on the bandwagon and criticizing President Reagan, Mr. Mondale took a different approach to this question.
Instead he said: "I'm going to use my time a little differently. I'm going to give the President some credit," and he continued on to say that he liked President Reagan and that their differences in opinion were not personal.
I think it's time that as individuals we put aside personal differences and focus on the facts - the current state of our country, policies that have worked in the past, and problems that we will face in the future.
Only then through reasonable debate can we understand how to live in a functioning democracy and how to respect each other as fellow citizens and, most importantly, human beings.

MICROCHIP CO., LTD.
The Jayhawks lost a close one at Missouri, then won decisively at Baylor. They're tied with the Tigers for the Big 12 lead and must keep winning and putting the pressure on their Border Showdown rival for a shot at an outright conference title. Next on Saturday is Oklahoma State, the only team in the conference that Kansas hasn't already played. The Jayhawks are 12-0 at Allen Fieldhouse this season and don't plan on snapping that streak against the Cowboys.

points at Baylor? Withey would ease coach Bill Self's mind with more consistency. Even on Wednesday, his finest game as a Jayhawk, he started off poorly, committing a foul and a turnover in the first 30 seconds of the game. Look for him to start more smoothly back at home.
Withey
QUESTION MARK
Can junior forward Thomas Robinson get hot early?
In the first half at Missouri, Robinson scored six points and traveled repeatedly. In the first half at Baylor, he took a backseat to Withey and found himself in foul trouble. Now that he's back in the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse, this would be a good time for Robinson to put up his first-half struggles behind, they are perhaps the only important weakness in his game right now.

AT A GLANCE
Oklahoma State comes into Saturday's game in seventh place in the Big 12 at 5-6. The Cowboys had an impressive 69-67 victory over Iowa State Wednesday night after freshman guard Le'Bryan Nash hit a late jump shot with under five seconds remaining before blocking a Cyclone shot at the buzzer. A victory over Kansas could potentially put the Cowboys in a tie for fifth place in the Big 12 with six game remaining. Coach Travis Ford's squad hasn't done anything statistically great so far this season, coming into Saturday ranked 200th or lower in points, rebounds, and assists per game as well as field goal percentage. Their most impressive performance this season was a 79-72 home victory over Missouri on Jan. 25.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Nash
Nick
Le'Bryan Nash, guard
Nash was a five-star recruit a year ago and chose Oklahoma State over Kansas, among others. He had a
relatively slow start to his freshman campaign but has had a handful of great games in the Big 12. He's had at least 18 points in five conference games, which included a 27-point performance in the 79-72 upset over Missouri on Jan. 25. His shooting percentage isn't great, as he takes more than 10 shots a game, more often than not. He's taken over 15 shots on four occasions in the Big 12 and is the first option for the Cowboys' offense.

"He's a heck of a player. He's a matchup problem when he plays the four because of his ability to step outside and hit shots."
How does Baylor adjust defensively?
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
Oklahoma State is a disappointing 1-4 in Big 12 road games this season, with the only victory coming over last place Texas Tech on Jan. 31. In its four road losses, the Cowboys have been outscored by 15.7 points every contest including a 41-point blowout against Baylor on Jan. 14. Kansas is a perfect 5-0 in Big 12 games inside Allen Fieldhouse this season, winning by an average of 15.4 points. The Cowboys will need a hot start to quiet the home crowd and a big game from Nash if an upset is in order.

THE MORNING BREW Manning, Colts need friendly breakup
I'm a big fan of the NFL offseason. I love looking over tables of statistics from the NFL Combine as more than 300 potential draft prospects are measured on all types of technical and psychological skills for seven days in Indianapolis.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
By April yould think Id already be tired of the NFL offseason. Not even close.
I love watching teams figure out what pieces they need to put together to have a parade of their own next season, just like the New York Giants did earlier in the week.
We get a whole month of deciding where all these future players will be drafted, and then we watch it unfold in a primetime television slot where the whole world can see where these players will play next year.
To be honest, I love the build up of football more than the game itself. But there are parts of the offseason that I don't like.
I don't like when the media zeroes in on an aging quarterback and his inevitable breakup from the team that he's subsequently built from a laughing stock to one of the most recognized sports teams in the world.
I am of course talking about Peyton Manning and his impending divorce with the Colts, which will come sooner rather than later.
Since Manning missed the entire season because of a third neck surgery, and the Colts claimed the No.1 pick, there's been constant speculation about Manning's place in the future.
In fact, we know one date will eventually show what direction Indianapolis is going in. The organization is due to give Manning a $28 million bonus on March 8.
I've seen three schools of thought on this predicament.
1. Trade Manning and get several draft picks for one of football's greatest passers of all time.
2. Keep Manning and have him tutor the Colts' first pick, whether it's Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III. (It's going to be Luck.)
3. Release Pevton Manning
Manning will be 36 years old when the 2012 season begins, and he is not going to tutor his eventual predecessor.
He's worried about his own legacy and how he can find a place where, in the next one or two years, he can win his second title. That way, his brother Eli doesn't end up with more rimes than him.
So now, Peyton has to find a new team.
The leader in the clubhouse is the Washington Redskins, if Manning becomes a free agent. They've got enough money to pay Manning to make him happy.
They'll cater their offense around Manning so he won't have to change what he's been doing in Indianapolis for the past 13 years.
Look for the Dolphins, Cardinals, and Chiefs—to name a few—to be vying for his services, as well.
However, getting to a happy life for both the Colts and Manning will be dicey.
Colts owner Jim Irsay has already taken to Twitter several times throughout this process, trying to stonewall Manning while the two sides work through this process.
It's really a shame to watch. Manning has given so much to the city of Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the NFL. He should be able to work through his deal with the Colts without it becoming a whole summer of "Where is Peyton Manning going to end up?"
KU
We have many historical examples to go off of, whether it's johnny Unitas leaving the Baltimore Colts, Joe Montana departing from the 49ers, or Brett Favre separation from the Packers.
What we've learned from all these examples is this: Manning and the Colts need to make this as painless as possible for their fans, so both parties can move on to next phases of their life.
There shouldn't be any hard feelings. There shouldn't be any war of words. The NFL is a business, and I think both of these parties recognize that.
Now, let's cross our fingers and hope that they can get it done.
I don't want another summer of ESPN's Law.

COMMENTARY
No need to play Missouri
E every beginning has an ending. Nothing lasts forever. Missouri's departure to
Missouri departure to the Southeastern Conference next season certainly jeopardizes the viability of its rivalry with Kansas.
It has been a hot topic of debate as to whether or not Kansas and Missouri should compete against each other on an annual basis in all sports.
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden said he would like the Border Showdown to continue even though the Tigers are leaving the Big 12.
Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger said he was against the continuation of the Border Showdown because the rivalry belonged in the Big 12.
Zenger's stance has my approval.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Border Showdown. It is my favorite rivalry. The pure hatred between Kansas and Missouri makes it one of the best rivalries in sports because it goes beyond sports, but it is embedded in the Big 12's DNA.
What has made the Border Showdown one of the best rivalries is the classic games that have had conference championship implications, in particular men's basketball and football. The battle for bragging rights has always been a staple in rivalry games, but even more so when both teams are members of the same conference.
Both schools were founding members of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1907, which officially changed its name to the Big Eight Conference in 1964 and then merged with the Southwest Conference in 1996 to form the Big 12.
For Missouri and Kansas to schedule non-conference games after competing against each other for over a hundred years in the same conference is nonsense. How can you expect the rivalry to have the same juice when the teams will be playing in separate conferences? Kansas and Nebraska had one of the oldest, uninterrupted rivalries until Nebraska moved to the Big Ten. There was no talk of extending that series even though it's not as intense as the Border Showdown.
It was Missouri's prerogative to join the Southeastern Conference and they were well aware that leaving the Big 12 Conference would spell the end to the Border Showdown.
By C.J. Matson
cmatson@kansan.com
For Missouri to embrace the continuation of the Border War is a sign of desperation. They understand that they will have difficulty fostering new rivalries with SEC teams who already have strong, traditional rivalries. Can you honestly envision Missouri becoming rivals with Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, etc.? The SEC is glad that Missouri is joining only because it needed a 14th member after Texas A&M joined and became the 13th member.
Maintaining the Border Showdown would upset other Big 12 schools because Kansas would be sending a message that they were OK with Missouri's departure. Continuing the rivalry would be doing Missouri favor, not Kansas, who oppose the move.

Back at Fieldhouse
against Cowboys
CHRIS BRONSON /KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Coach Bill Self points in frustration as a call goes against Kansas in the second half of Saturday's 74-71 loss at Missouri. The team faces Oklahoma State on Saturday at 3 p.m.
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
There was going to be no Missouri hangover for coach Bill Self's Jayhawks as they prepared for another top-10 showdown with Baylor Wednesday night. Self said that the outcome would be in the Ferrell Center, Saturday's heartbreaking loss to Missouri would have zero effect.
Self didn't have to worry about those questions, though.
Kansas battled back from a rough start to dominate the Bears for the second time this season, eventually winning 68-54. Senior guard Ty-
shawn Taylor had another impressive outing while Jeff Withey had a career-high 25 points, pushing Kansas into a tie with Missouri for first place in the Big 12 with seven games remaining in the conference schedule.
"You take away three minutes in the last 80, that's about as good as a team that we've had at Kansas since I've been there," Self said, according to baylorbears.com. "It's played on the road against two top-10 teams. That was pretty impressive."
Up on Saturday at 3 p.m. is Oklahoma State, the only Big 12 team the Jayhawks haven't faced this season. The Cowboys are an even 12-12 on
the season and 5-6 in the Big 12, coming into Saturday's contest tied at sixth in the conference.
Former five-star recruit and freshman Le'Bryan Nash leads the Cowboys on offense with 13.4 points per game. Nash also hit a game-winning shot over Iowa State to knock off the Cyclones 69-67 Wednesday night.
"I live for those moments, the big moments," Nash said after the game, according to newsok.com.
As talented as Nash is, the Cowboys are led by 5-foot-9 senior point guard Keiton Page.
one of his most impressive offensive seasons this year, averaging 14.2 points per game.
A less-heralded player compared to Nash or Page, freshman forward Michael Cobbins was the team's most valuable player in the Iowa State victory according to coach Travis Ford. Cobbins guarded Royce White and grabbed 14 rebounds. Cobbins held White to just 15 points on six-for-16 shooting, and another impressive defensive performance could increase the chances of an upset on Saturday afternoon.
Page has played at least 25 minutes a game in each of his four seasons in Stillwater and he's having
Self holds a five-to-three advantage against Oklahoma State in his time at Kansas.
Last season, the Jayhawks narrowly escaped the Cowboys 63-62 in the Big 12 tournament at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The loss eliminated the Cowboys from a potential NCAA Tournament selection.
"We did guard and rebound the second half," Self said following the last meeting between the teams. "And we really feel fortunate to have won considering how we shot the basketball."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
After four tough losses, back to Kansas State
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
On the women's side of the Sunflower Showdown, the games continue to be close ones.
In the last four match-ups between Kansas and Kansas State, the results have been within 10 points or fewer.
The Wildcats have the winning streak, but the Jayhawks are hoping that with a few solid days of preparation they will come out on top in their next meeting. A close game was also the case in the first match-up of 2012 when the Wildcats came to Allen Fieldhouse and defeated Kansas 63-57 in overtime. At the time, it was the Jayhawks first conference loss.
"We're 0-1. They beat us at home, and we need to beat them at home," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said of the match-up. "It's a rivalry game. It's a very important game, but I'm really excited for it. I'm hyped for this game I really am."
The main reason? The Wildcats' junior guard Brittany Chambers took over the game when Kansas State needed it most. Chambers knocked down a momentum-shifting three with about four minutes to play in regulation to put them up by three points.
Handling Chambers was the biggest difficulty on that night for the Jayhawks. And as they begin their preparation for Sunday's rematch in Manhattan at anon they know that guarding her will be a big emphasis.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she doesn't want to allow Chambers to work the ball with senior forward
Branesha Brown on the offensive end. Henrickson said Brown will set screens for Chambers and the Jayhawks have to make sure to fight over that screen and not under it so Chambers is not open from three-point range.
Although these games have been close, Kansas is still looking for the answer.
"I really don't know. I think it's just the Kansas and K-State game," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "Both of us really go at each other. They're a good team and we want to go there and get momentum from this win and go to that game."
Both the Wildcats and Jayhawks are coming into this game with a lot to play for. The two squads sit at 6-5 in conference play and are in a tie for fourth place.
The winner will have an inside track of moving up the Big 12 standings and challenging the top three teams: Baylor, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma.
"It's always a big game and there's more at stake in this one, which is exciting for both of us," Henrickson said.
"They have a whole bunch of good players and we have a whole bunch of good players and I just think it's just who wants it most," Goodrich said.
Kansas comfortably beat Texas 85-61 on Wednesday, Texas A&M blew out Kansas State 67-36 in College Station, Texas.

The countless fliers on campus promoting student organizations might be a little more attractive thanks to the newly-opened Student Design Center.
Student Senate president Libby Johnson and vice president Gabe Bliss pitched the idea for a design center after talking with student organizations about what they needed to more effectively communicate with students. Several groups said having access to a graphic designer would be a big help.
"Graphic design is something that is hard to find experts in,but a lot of organizations need," Johnson said.
TARA BRYANT / KANSANS Drue Davis, a sophomore from Lawrence, works on posters and brochures at the Student Design Center on Friday. The Student Design Center opened this semester to produce t-shirts, fliers, brochures and other products for students, campus organizations, University departments and off-campus clients.
TARA BRYANT /KANSANS
As a result, the center offers student organizations three hours of free design service. Students pay $10 per hour and academic departments can hire the student designers for twice that rate. Posters and filers are printed on-site, and a PDF of the design can be provided for future use.
Emily Mullett, a junior from Leawood, became involved with the Student Design Center months before it opened. In September, she was approached to become a designer and helped decide some of the details of the new project during the last several months of planning. She said she's excited to finally begin working at the center.
"It's a good job because it's kind of like an internship in a way. It's just nice to be able to work on so many different things for different groups," Mullett said.
which opened last Monday.
Rachel Roth, a sophomore from Overland Park, heard that the design center was hiring from one of her professors. She liked that the position would allow her to work with an array of students and organizations and provide valuable, real-world experience in the graphic design field.
"Design work with logos is considered branding," Roth said. "That's something I'm really interested in, so I'm excited to hopefully get some experience with that and just to give the clubs on campus a more recognizable image."
The design center employs three sophomores, two juniors, one senior and a graduate student, which Roth said has allowed her to learn from more experienced designers.

A building already known for its bright pupils will soon have another reason to shine.
The campus safety advisory board allocated $5,000 for exterior lighting at the Nunemaker Center, home of the University's honors program, in its meeting Wednesday night.
According to the proposal, the lighting was requested not only to make the building safer but also for the surrounding area.
"Due to our location on Daisy Hill, we have tremendous foot traffic at all hours and the main sidewalk in front of Nunemaker is very poorly lit," the proposal read.
Nunemaker is open until 10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and Sandra Wick, associate director of the honors program and proposal presenter, asked the board to consider that the building is open to everyone, not just honors students, and the new lights would help bring attention to the building.
Wick also said the lighting would help students know the building is open because the poor lighting can make the building appear closed.
Meredith Pavicic, campus safety advisory board chair, said she believes the lighting will not only act as a deterrent for potential crime but will help students feel more at ease during the
"It makes people feel safer if they can see around them," Pavicic said. "It will also act as a deterrent, but we really want people to feel safe on campus."
Pavicic, who has had class in the building herself, said she hopes to see more students using the building.
"We hope it will make it sater, for students employed there, students going to class and students studying," Pavicic said. "But we also want to see more students utilizing the space because it is safer."
night.
Keri Kenning, a senior from Hutchinson, is both an honors student and an employee at the Nunemaker Center and has been using the building throughout her years at the University.
"I come here to study a lot," Kenning said. "It is open pretty late and it's a nice venue."
Kenning currently works the night shift and locks the building up every night and has been weary because of the dark.
"It can be dark and kooky," Kenning said. "I am definitely on guard when I leave the building, because you never know who is out there, so it is pretty exciting that we're getting new lights."
The project is estimated to take 17 weeks to complete and should be finished in time for the fall semester.

New bill, student debt full stories online now

+ Reporter Stefanie Penn examines pending anti-abortion legislation in the Kansas statehouse. The bill, which has become known as the "personhood" amendment, would establish that life begins with the fertilization of an egg and would outlaw anything that prevents the fertilized egg from being carried to term. However, supporters and opponents disagree about whether the law's broad language would also ban emergency contraception and other common forms of birth control.
"A personhood amendment would have a dramatic and negative impact beyond issues related to abortion," said Laura Saneyfelt, an attorney who has worked on reproductive rights cases. The full story is online now at PoliticalFiber.

Last week, we asked you who you think presents the best solution for dealing with the growing issue of student debt. Fifty-eight percent of responders said Ron Paul made the best case. Paul believes the federal government should eventually abolish federal aid for education because it's unfair for taxpayers who didn't attend college to bear the burden.

Former mayor stole food mixer from local school
LOS ANGELES — The former mayor of a Los Angeles suburb has pleaded guilty to stealing a commercial food mix from the local school district so he could make dough for his home pizza oven.
Los Angeles County prosecutors say
Larry Guii entered the plea Wednesday
to a felony count of grand theft. He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and one year's probation.
Prosecutors say a security camera recorded him loading the giant mixer and a cart into his pickup truck in 2010.

The $1,300 mixer was later returned.

President of Guatemala legalizes the transportation of drugs
GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemalan

Perez Molina said in a radio interview that his proposal would include decriminalizing the transportation of
drugs through the area.
"I want to bring this discussion to the table," he said. "It wouldn't be a crime to transport, to move drugs. It would all have to be regulated."

Perez Molina also blamed drug cartels for rampant violence in Guatemala, which has a homicide rate of 41 murders per 100,000 people.

Extreme cold weather miserable for Turkey's quake survivors
ANKARA, Turkey — Freezing temperatures and life miserable in Turkey are making life vulnerable for the more than 140,000 residents who were left homeless by the nation's devastating earthquake four months ago and who are still living in tents or temporary shelters.
The cold snap, which began in Europe in late January, has left some families in Turkey's quake relief centers trying to stay warm by using coal stoves or electric heaters, and watching their drinking water freeze overnight. Nearly a foot of snow has fallen in the quake zone, and temperatures have dipped as low as -4 Fahrenheit.
Elsewhere in Europe the situation has been much worse, with hundreds of people — most them homeless — dying in the cold, and many cities and towns being trapped by much deeper snow.
In Romania, officials on Friday reported 13 more deaths and rounded up about 220 homeless to shelter them from the deep freeze at night. Huge chunks of ice were blocking navigation on the Danube River in Romania, one of Europe's key waterways.

Tibetan nun protests Chinese government, sets herself on fire
BEIJING — An 18-year-old Tibetan nun has set herself on fire in western China in the latest such protest against Beijing's handling of the vast ethnic Tibetan regions it rules, an overseas activist group said Sunday.
Free Tibet said in a statement that the nun set herself ablaze Saturday and was believed to have survived. The young woman, identified as Tenzin Choezin, was a nun at the Mamae Nunnery in Sichuan province's Aba prefecture, the statement said
It said Chozin shouted slogans of protest against the Chinese
government before setting herself on fire at a junction close to the nunnery.
"Soldiers and police came immediately and took her away," the statement said. "Soldiers then surrounded the nunnery and sealed it off."

CRIME
Killer helps find more remains
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities searching with the help of a convicted serial killer found more human remains Saturday — the first bones discovered at an abandoned well on a cattle ranch where a death row inmate claimed 10 or more victims may be buried, authorities said.
The discovery marked the third straight day that remains were found with a map prepared by Wesley Shermantine. He and his childhood friend, Loren Herzog, were called the "Speed Freak Killers" for a methamphetamine-fueled killing spree that had as many as 15 victims.
Two sets of remains had been found Thursday and Friday near property once owned by Shermantine's family about 60 miles south of Sacramento.
The latest remains were found after crews dug slowly through 30 feet of soot and debris at the well near Linden, Calif., said San Joaquin County sheriff's spokesman Deputy Les Garcia.
It was not clear whether they belonged to one or more people, and Garcia said they had not yet been identified.
The search was called off after dark Saturday, but was set to resume Sunday.
Dental records identified remains found Thursday in Calaveras County as those of Cyndi Vanderheiden, 25, Garcia said. Authorities were awaiting the results of a DNA analysis to confirm the identification, Garcia said.
Cyndi Vanderheiden's father, John Vanderheiden, said he was almost sure the remains are those of his daughter, who disappeared in 1998.
"There will be closure after that," he said.
The remains found Friday have not been identified, but Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler's
Red Lyon Tavern
parents believe they are those of their 16-year-old daughter. Wheeler's parents said they were notified that the remains were found in a spot where Shermantine said their daughter was buried after she disappeared in 1985.
"They said they found her wrapped in a blanket," Paula Wheeler, the girl's mother, told The Associated Press by phone from the family's home in Crossville, Tenn. "This is a happy day. We can finally have some closure."
Shermantine recently agreed to disclose the locations of bodies in return for a bounty hunter's offer of $33,000.
He is giving hand-drawn maps to authorities, who are focusing on the spot where Saturday's remains were found, though layers of backfill were making excavation difficult.
Shermantine was convicted of four murders and sentenced to death. Herzog was convicted of three murders and sentenced to 77 years to life in prison, though that was later reduced to 14 years. An appeals court tossed his first-degree murder convictions after ruling his confession was illegally obtained.
944 Massachusetts Street 785.832.8228
Herzog was paroled in 2010 to a trailer outside the High Desert State Prison in Susanville. He committed suicide outside that trailer last month after Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told him Shermantine was disclosing the location of the well along with two other locations.
Padilla has promised to pay Shermantine as much as $33,000 to disclose the locations of the bodies. He said he hopes to collect on rewards being offered by the state of California
for information about several missing persons suspected of being victims of Herzog and Shermantine.
Shermantine has said he wants the money to pay off an $18,000 restitution order that prevents him from buying the limited luxuries like candy bars that immates with money in their accounts can afford. He also said he want to buy headstones for his deceased parents.

Fewer categories in Grammy Awards this year, artists protest
Some protesters see racial bias in the revisions, and others consider them a power play by corporate major labels against smaller indie labels, whose artists often made up the nominees in the categories that have been eliminated or tucked under larger umbrellas.
MUSIC
LOS ANGELES — The Grammys have been accused over time of favoring commercial success over artistic excellence and of being bloated with too many categories (110 at its peak). This year the music industry organization is taking hits for slimming the awards ceremony down to 78 categories.

Catching a glimpse of Miss Taylor Swift
Like every American, I'm susceptible to the cult of personality. So when I heard last Wednesday that Taylor Swift was on campus, the thrill of catching a glimpse of a celebrity positively elated me. The thought came that perhaps I might even get her to autograph my copy of "Catcher in the Rye" (KU Bookstore price $72.99).
And so I sprinted in my bathrobe and slippers down Jayhawk Boulevard. Even though I read a very un-Wednesday like mirth in the faces of my fellow students, my search for the bejeweled pop-star was in vain.

the child-like credulity and hope of UFO searching FBI agents (I want to believe Taylor exists, Scully). However, the spotters invariably turn out to be fringe nut jobs soaked with gin.
Like most Americans, I love Taylor Swift, not only because of her soul-touching songs, but her "aw shucks" humility as well. It reminds me of me if I were a girl who wildly succeeded at something she loved to do. She has achieved a status which puts her on the same pedestal as her less famous/talented forebear, Jonathan Swift. My fellow men think my admiration for TS betrayes effeminacy. Before they start revoking my man card, allow me the following apologia: In a court of law, you could never prove that I liked TS for her music (God bless the Fifth Amendment). Although I have all her albums only because they fell out of a truck, I can still enjoy them. Even if I casually hum or sing a few of her songs in their entirety, that only means I have a very capacious memory. And if her songs touch my heart, it only proves that chivalry is far from expired.
I can split wood and consume raw meat with the best of them. I know of no rule in the sacred tome of Man Law that says a man cannot like a woman singer. Quite the contrary is the truth of men. Abraham Lincoln was a devoted fan of the Dixie Chicks, Winston Churchill loved Jewel (for more than just her music), and in his speeches, Malcolm X
made countless allusions to Sarah McLachlan.
When I first listened to "Fifteen" at the age of twenty, I was enchanted to meet Taylor Swift. How her lyrics would have spoken to my angst, feckless self, five years prior! Her lyrics teach us about respect for others as well as ourselves. Truly, it takes more strength to act on the songs of TS than to derisively dismiss them.
I will not lose hope that, one day, I will catch a glimpse of the elusive, Jackie O-esque Taylor Swift. Though I will probably never meet her, I want to thank Taylor Swift, because although she wasn't there to guide me through my tumultuous second decade, at least she's here for my third and presumably fourth and fifth.

Democrats use class warfare to gain votes
The left will use politics of jealousy to win re-election
This year, Democrats will rely on class warfare in order to hold on to the White House. Up to this point, using George W. Bush and Congressional Republicans as scapegoats has kept the Obama Administration afoast, but fewer Americans are accepting these trite excuses. They are beginning to realize that great speeches, soaring rhetoric, and catchy campaign slogans do not guarantee results.
No one will deny that the President inherited a tough situation, but for two years his administration had huge majorities in Congress, yet his only major legislative accomplishment is an unpopular and possibly unconstitutional health care bill that he would barely mention in last month's State of the Union Address. Meanwhile-

one of the most liberal states in the country. The likely GOP nominee is also enormously wealthy from his time at the private equity firm Bain Capital. Gov. Romney plays perfectly into the reelection strategy of an administration that has embraced the Occupy movement, touted the "Buffet Rule," and decried fiscal conservatism as "you're on your own economics."

trillion to over $15 trillion since he took office.
The President's only real success has been in national security with the elimination of Osama Bin Laden. But even that is problematic for a President who campaigned vehemently against the Bush Administration's terror policies, especially since the President's own CIA Director admitted publicly that those controversial interrogation tactics ultimately led us to Bin Laden. While the President is certainly not weak on national security, he cannot base his reelection on the issue.
as a wealthy corporate tycoon who heartlessly fires working class people in order to turn a profit. However.
something much deeper and darker than simply setting the 99 percent against the 1 percent for the purposes of a campaign. It's about inspiring resentment between all socioeconomic classes: the 90% percent vs. the 10 percent, the 75 percent vs. the 25 percent and the 50 percent vs. the 50 percent.
this strategy represents something much deep.
It's about getting people to believe their success has to come at someone else's expense. In economic terms, they want people to believe prosperity is a zero-sum game.
It is only natural for us to envy those who have more than we do. What makes capitalism work and America great is that we take that envy and use it as motivation for
our own success. It drives us to find our comparative advantage and use it to create value in society.
Unfortunately, the left wants to turn that envy into jealousy in order to garner support for the redistribution of wealth. The endgame is that people believe they can't succeed without the government and they elect politicians who promise to remedy every economic inequality that exists. The result is more government jobs, programs, and entitlements.
Margaret Thatcher noted that the problem with these policies is that you eventually run out of other people's money to spend. Just look at what has happened in Greece, a modern European welfare state that is in default because its debt rose to 126 percent of its GDP.
As of December 2011 America's public debt is already an alarming 60 percent of its GDP. However, a report by the CATO Institute tabulates that future unfunded liabilities for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will actually total over $59 trillion, more than 412 percent of our GDP. Think the 1 percent can save us? Considering Forbes Magazine estimates that America's 400 billionaires have total assets worth only about $1.3 trillion, I don't think so. Unlike Greece, there will be no one left to bail us out.
The politics of jealousy are easy these days, particularly as millions across the country are suffering through a prolonged economic recovery. However, our path to prosperity is not through class warfare and more government. It is through truly free-markets and real reform to entitlements, the tax code, and government spending.

The insincerity of Valentine's Day
Since it's Valentine's Day week, you're probably tired of hearing anyone discuss the topic of love, relationships, romance, etc. In fact, hearing the word "love" one more time this week might provoke some sort of negative reaction from you like a grimace, or say, projectile vomiting.
Don't get me wrong; I'm a romantic. In fact, I've read many a romance novel, and felt the pain of and joys within literary relationships. I made noises at a pitch that cannot be heard by humans when my high school calculus teacher, when speaking of his wife, said, actually sighing, that she was "Just...wonderful." And every Tuesday night, I shamelessly cheer on Glee's Kurt and Blaine, aka, the most adorable couple to ever grace the small screen.
You see, this notion of what Valentine's Day is supposed to be has been manufactured and ejected out. According to Hallmark, Kay Jewelers, and romantic comedies, Valentine's Day is a day where a man woos a woman,
However, I'm a realist as well, and let's be real—a lot of the gestures brought about by Valentine's Day can be simply insincere.

limited to one day a year. If the love between you and another person is real, genuine, and the kind that would make me squeal about the adorableness of it all if I saw you together, well, then that should be shown every day. And if you're attempting to go the extra mile, it should be done with the thought of the other person's personality.
I'm not going to lie; if I was sharing a Valentines' Day with another person, I might want a show of recognition of the event (which I would likewise show back). But I wouldn't want my significant other to feel as though they had to make an exhibition of how much they loved me.
I could talk about how romantic love isn't reserved for heterosexual couples, or how we sell the idea of a "Romance Checklist," or how women are seen as passive in relationships—I could talk about a lot of things. But what I want to hone in on is this great insincerity surrounding Valentine's Day, a sort of false façade to try to present a weak imitation of love.

"The actual beautiful thing about true romance, love — that feeling that poets and pop-stars alike have tried to eternalize — is that every relationship is different, so, it makes sense that every love is different."
Now that I've made myself sound as pessimistic as possible, the point is that Valentine's Day and romance in general have been molded to be seen in a very specific light by society.

Maybe you happen to be a botanist and a connoisseur of cocoa, so flowers and chocolate are a genuinely thoughtful gift. Or, perhaps, you happen to be a Potter-Head, and if someone were to tell you they had planned a Harry Potter movie marathon weekend, you'd kiss them right there. Whatever gesture of romance would mean the most, your loved one will probably know best.

Q&A: CNN's Candy Crowley talks GOP Primary
CODY KUIPER
ckuiper@kansan.com
CNN anchor and chief political correspondent Candy Crowley accepted the William Allen White Citation on Friday from the School of Journalism.
Crowley anchors the Sunday morning talk show, "State of the Union with Candy Crowley"
Crowley's accomplishments include interviewing important political figures such as President George Bush and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on her show, and she has covered every Presidential race since the election of Jimmy Carter.
Q: In 2008, Barack Obama was able to mobilize the young
vote. Do you see him doing that again, or is there a Republican candidate that can do so?
A: They are certainly hoping that they can recreate for a generation that was not able to vote for him: an entire group of folks, freshman through senior, that were not able to vote for him. They have certainly activated all their tricks and ways they were able to reach them in 2008: text message, email, and chatting across the vine, or the internet as the say. They're trying to get back into that consciousness, and they are certainly counting on that.
Q: Obviously student-loans and tuition are big issues for college students. What other issues
do you see coming to the forefront for this election?
A: It's not just college tuition, but its questions like, should you go to college? That's now more and more of a question. Is community college a better choice for some people? Is it worth it? Do you get enough bang for your buck? It all gets back to tuition, student-loans, who gets student loans, and will they be available? Presidential campaigns are a lot about dreams; what do you dream about and who can best help you get there? It is a yet-to-be-articulated dream by either side because we don't have a Republican candidate yet and the President hasn't fully engaged. They mostly talk about student loans, but you guys are also interested in social security. I think there are plenty of issues, and unless some unforeseen thing happens, this campaign is going to come down to an economic question.
Q: How does this election year compare to others?
A: You do not have, in the Republican primary, the kind of rock-star attention that both Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton got in 2008, but it clearly is showing that it has its own rhythm. Every election has its own rhythm; it's like a different child. They're each exciting in their own way, but they're not like the one before them, and I think that's true with this election. It doesn't have the same historic importance of a first woman or a first African-American. Republicans will say this is historic because we are going down the wrong path, etcetera, but I think in terms of that first blush of history that you knew was going to be written by Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton, that's obviously absent.
Q: Would you like to make a
prediction about the Republican Primary?
Let me analyze it as opposed to predict. Mitt Romney still has the most money. Money goes a long way, it's not everything, but it sure helps when you get to super-Tuesday when there are so many states involved. Mitt Romney still has the best on-the-ground organization: people who can go and get people to get out and vote. On the other hand, what we've seen up to this point, at least, is that it isn't always enough. There's passion behind the Santorum voters; there's some anger and passion behind the Gingrich supporters; there's certainly passion behind the Ron Paul supporters, and that's been able to give Romney a run for his money. He has kind of been the cool 'Mr.Fix it' and the question is: will that give him to the finish line? If you are betting at this moment, it still looks like Mitt Romney will probably come
out. The question is, how battered will he be? How bruised will he be?
Q: Even though it's a long way away, how do you see the general election playing out?
A: I think the incumbent always has the advantage unless there's a horrible war raging. I think President Obama's biggest competitor is the economy. It's not even questions like will the economy be well? We know it's not going to get well by November. The question is: do people believe? Do people see the job coming? Do they see themselves getting into a house or keeping their house? If the Obama campaign can convince people that it's getting better, he's going to be tough to beat, as incumbents always are.

GOP candidates prepare for Michigan
PORTLAND, Maine — A day after Mitt Romney regained some momentum in the Republican presidential contest, his rival Rick Santorum went on the attack, calling the front-runner "desperate" while promising to compete aggressively to win the state where Romney grew up.
Santorum said Sunday he could do "exceptionally well" in Michigan, where Romney's father served
as governor. The Midwestern state and Arizona host Republican presidential nominating contests on Feb. 28.
"We're going to spend a lot of time in Michigan and Arizona, and those are up next. And that's where we've really been focusing on," Santorum told ABC's "This Week." He suggested that a strong showing in those contests would make the presidential contest "a two-man race," dismissing current rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

Romney has been painting Santorum as a long-time Washington insider who pursued home-state projects. Santorum on Sunday described Romney's recent criticism as "desperate."
"You reach a point where desperate people do desperate things," said Santorum, who represented Pennsylvania during his 16 years in Congress, first in the House and then in the Senate.
Maine GOP officials declared Romney the winner of Saturday's caucuses. The results ended a three-state losing streak to Santorum, who swept contests in Colorado. Minnesota and Missouri on Tuesday.

With the next primaries more than two weeks away, the break seems unusually long in the rapid-fire race that's featured six contests in the last 14 days.

As Santorum eyes Michigan, Romney turns his attention to extending his huge cash advantage over his rivals.
Romney won a plurality of the Maine vote just hours after winning the presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference in Washington.

But questions about Romney's durability as his party's presumed front-runner persist. Fully 61 percent of Maine voters selected a candidate other than Massachusetts' former governor in a state practically in his backyard. And Romney's showing was down considerably from 2008, when he won 51 percent of the vote.
In Maine, Romney captured 39 percent of the vote, narrowly defeating Paul's 36 percent, state Republican chairman Charlie Webster said. Santorum and Gingrich, who didn't actively campaign in Maine, won 18 percent and 6 percent respectively.
The Maine vote totals reflected about 84 percent of the state's precincts, with nearly 5,600 Republicans voting out of 258,000 registered. The contests scheduled for the coming days will not be counted, including an entire county that postponed its caucuses because of a snow storm.
"We were a little bit disappointed last night," Paul said, because he's done well in that county in the past and expected to do well Saturday.
Coming off last week's success, Santorum saw a surge in donations. His campaign reports gathering $3 million in the three days immediately following after last week's hat trick, but he's unlikely to catch Romney on the money race.
Santorum reported just $279,000 in the bank at the end of December, compared with Romney's $19.9 million. Gingrich had $2.1 million, but is still carrying substantial debt, while Paul reported $1.9 million.
Romney won 11 delegates and Paul 10, according to an analysis of the Maine results by The Associated Press. Santorum and Gingrich were shut out. That brings the delegate count to 123 for Romney, 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul, with 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination.

Obama modifies current contraception policy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—Conservatives said Sunday the flap surrounding President Barack Obama's birth control mandate was far from over, with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell saying he'll push to overturn the requirement because it was another example of government meddling.
While a senior White House official shrugged off such remarks, declaring the issue resolved and new legislation unlikely, the heated rhetoric from Republicans suggested the GOP would try to keep the debate alive in an election year to rally conservatives and seize upon voter frustration with big government.
"It's riddled with constitutional problems," McConnell said of Obama's broader health-care plan. "And this is what happens when the government tries to take over health care and tries to interfere with your religious beliefs."
Last week, Obama backed down on a mandate that religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals and colleges cover birth control in their health insurance plans. In a tweak of the rule, those employees would be offered free coverage directly from their health insurer. But employers would not provide or pay for it.
The White House says the plan won't drive up costs because birth control, similar to other preventative care measures, is less expensive than pregnancy. But opponents say that unless drug makers stop charging for contraception, the cost is likely to get passed on to employers regardless.
While some Catholic groups applauded the move, including the Catholic Health Association, the nation's Catholic bishops said it continued the attack on religious freedoms — a theme quickly picked up by Republicans trying to wrest control of the White House this November.
The nation's Roman Catholic bishops are expressing grave doubts about President Barack Obama's revamped health care rule on birth control. They say it raises serious moral concerns and lacks clear
protections for certain employers insurers and individuals.
In a statement issued Friday evening, the United States Conference of Bishops said Obama's proposal "continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions."
The statement came hours after Obama announced he was backing off a new requirement for religious employers to provide free birth control coverage, even if it runs counter to their religious beliefs. Instead, employees of those institutions will be able to get free contraception directly from health insurance companies.
"There's no compromise here," said GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, a Catholic and favorite among religious conservatives. "They are forcing religious organizations, either directly or indirectly, to pay for something
that they find is a deeply, morally, you know, wrong thing. And this is not what the government should be doing."
In several televised interviews, White House chief of staff Jacob Lew defended the latest plan as the best possible compromise to provide women access to contraceptives and respect the religious freedoms of employers. Churches had always been exempt under Obama's original plan, although religious-affiliated organizations were not.
"We didn't expect to get universal support of the bishops or all Catholics," he said. "I think that what we have here is a policy that reflects bringing together two very important principles in a way that's true to the American tradition."
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo, has called Obama's revised plan an "accounting gimmick." He introduced legislation last week that would exempt any organization with moral objections from providing birth control. McConnell said he expects such a bill would be vetoed by the president but that he still wanted a vote "as soon as possible."
House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan said there were enough votes in the Republican-controlled House to pass similar legislation.
"If this is what the president's willing to do in a tough election year, imagine what he will do in implementing the rest of his health care law after an election," Ryan, R-Wis., told ABC News "This Week."
Lew shrugged off questions about Senate legislation, predicting that they would not "come to pass" and that the president planned to move ahead with implementing the current plan. "Catholic universities and Catholic hospitals will not be in the position that they had feared. I think that's a good resolution," Lew said.

S sports
I'd be easy for Kansas to overlook Kansas State in a spot like tonight.
The Jayhawks are playing their best basketball of the season, in large part due to the emergence of junior center Jeff Withey. Kansas outplayed Missouri, tore apart Baylor's 2-3 zone and put Oklahoma State in a 27-point hole at halftime on Saturday.
The Wildcats have lost three of their last five.
In KU and K-State's first meeting on Jan. 4, the Jayhawks jumped ahead 23-5 with 8:39 to go in the first half. The Wildcats cut that deficit to just three points in the second half, but Kansas never lost control.
Don't expect a game like that tonight. This is probably Kansas toughest test left on its regular season schedule.
Ken Pomeroy, basketball statistics know-it-all, gives Kansas a 65 percent chance to win tonight. Pomeroy gives Kansas a 73 percent chance to get revenge on Missouri on Feb. 25.
In giving Kansas all it can handle tonight, the Wildcats just might provide the blueprint for how to beat Kansas come tournament time.
If Kansas State coach Frank Martin plays it right, he'll get the ball inside to those three big guys and tell them to attack Robinson and Withey from the opening tip.
Offensive rebounding, as we saw on Saturday, often leads to easy buckets. Kansas State will definitely have a chance of toppling Kansas if the Wildcats limit easy buckets.
Kansas, as we all know, does not get much production from its bench this season. Reserves only play 23.8 percent of the available minutes, good for 313th in a nation with 345 teams.
COMMENTARY
This won't be a free-flowing game like the one in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.

This one will be ugly, sometimes sloppy and full of fouls. There will be charges, blocks and flops. There will be good calls, bad calls and Kansas State fans yelling about any call that goes in Kansas' favor.
If the jackawks can handle a slug-fest, they aprove themselves capable of sustaining a long tournament run in March.
Martin would also be wise to get his players to focus on boxing out. The layhawks snagged 19 offensive rebounds in the first matchup.

The Jayhawks are vulnerable, especially defensively, when Withey or Robinson is sitting on the bench for any extended length of time. Two early fools on either of them could put Kansas in trouble.
Kevin Young and Justin Wesley can keep the offense running but certainly won't be creating shots and opportunities by themselves. The way to hang with Kansas is to expose its bench, and Kansas State has the foul-hungry players to do just that tonight.

Kansas State sits behind the upper echelon of the Big 12 at 6-6, tied for fifth place with Texas. Some may view this version of the Wildcats as inferior to last year's team.
"They don't have Jacob," coach Bill Self said of former Wildcats leader Jacob Pullen after Saturday's 81-66 victory over Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse.
Even without Pullen, Kansas State's record may be misleading.
"I think they're better than what their record is in the league," Self said. "They're 6-6 in the league, but they could easily be 8-4, 9-3."
The Jayhawks visit nearby Manhattan to face the Wildcats tonight at 8 p.m. in Bramlage Coliseum, unofficially known as "The Octagon of Doom."

just one basket in the final five minutes at Baylor on Jan. 10 and lost 75-73. Then in Manhattan on Jan. 29, junior guard Steven Pledger scored 30 points, junior guard Rodney McGruder missed a deep but open three-point shot at the buzzer and Kansas State lost to underdog Oklahoma 63-60. At the Hilton Coliseum three days later, Iowa State's doit-all sophomore forward Royce White hit a game-winning shot to complete a 14-point rally and
"To me, it seems like something has gone awry on those close games," Self said.
Wildcats' coach Frank Martin, known for his colorful passion and tough teams, relies on McGruder as his leader, but plays nine different players for at least 11 minutes per game.
"To me, it seems like something has gone awry on those close games."
In the first match-up between the teams on Jan. 4 at Allen Fieldhouse, a 67-49 Kansas victory, the Wildcats were out-rebounded 50-26, and shot just 31 percent from the field. Only two Kansas State players scored in double figures; McGruder with 15 and senior forward Jamar Samuels with 12.

"I feel like he just made every shot," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
No matter the Wildcats' record this time around, Taylor expects a wild atmosphere at the "Octagon."
"We know when we play against Kansas State, they're going to have a good crowd all the time," he said. "I'm sure they're going to be hyped."

Davis injured in loss to Kansas State
HULGED
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Carolyn Davis screamed and dropped to the ground. Coach Bonnie Henrickson called her team ina huddle and they watched over their shoulders as they tried to quickly regroup. After more than 10 minutes on the floor, she was rolled out on a stretcher with tears streaming down her face. The orthopedic surgeon said she would call the Kansas team doctor and take an x-ray. The lajhwacks stood and looked stunned from the sidelines as they watched Davis, a junior forward and bona fide team leader, scream "I'm sorry" as she was whisked away to Memorial Hospital in Manhattan.
JUNIOR center Carolyn Davis gets taken off the court on a stretcher after injuring her knee during Sunday afternoon's game against Kansas State at Bramage Coliseum. The lajwahaws were defeated A7-A3.
When trainers put Davis in the brace they knew it was dislocated, but they sent her for more tests. Davis was transferred back to Lawrence last night and will meet with KU doctors this morning. Henrickson said that injuries like this are the absolute worst part of her job.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
"You go back and they are all crying, and everybody's upset, but how tough are they," Henrickson said.
Kansas struggled to find a rhythm after the Davis' jarring injury. The team shot just 33 percent for the game and fell 47-43 to Kansas State.
on the roster of 10 women, three of them have sustained serious knee injuries in their careers. Junior guard Angel Goodrich tore her ACL two straight seasons to start her career, sophomore forward Tania Jackson tore hers in high school and in her first practice at Kansas and sophomore guard CeCe Harper tore hers in high school.
"You've got a lot of kids in tears because they know exactly what's going on and exactly what she feels like and emotionally it is for those kids who know exactly what it feels like; it's just not fair," Henrickson said.
Davis drove into the lane and tossed up a shot that went flying at the shot clock above the basket. The referee blew the whistle and Davis was on the ground.
"It happened so fast," Goodrich said. "It is like the usual play we see her come down the court and just give her the ball and then I didn't see until she was on the ground."
Both teams went scoreless for two minutes after the stop, but Goodrich broke the silence with a layup to rally her troops and extend Kansas' lead to four.
"Hearing her holler and yell it just hurts and it hit us hard, but we stuck together." Goodrich said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"The chemistry of the group is very good, and not just on the field but off the field as well. I was surprised to see how quick it came together."
—— Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes on how he thinks his team is coming together during training. The quote came from a Feb. 8 story on kansascity.com
FACT OF THE DAY
Sporting Kansas City is one of only five MLS clubs to have won all three major domestic titles. (MLS Cup, MLS Supporters' Shield and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup)
— Sportingkc.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Whom are the two Wizards (Now Sporting KC) players to win the MLS MVP award?
A: Tony Meola (2000) and Prekri (1997, 2003)
missoccer.com
THE MORNING BREW Sporting Kansas City builds momentum
T
The team rebranded itself, opened one of the most spectacular soccer-specific stadiums in the country, and finished one game away from the club's first Major League Soccer Cup appearance since 2004. It truly was a soccer revolution in the Kansas City area turning a once niche sport into a hot topic.
By Ryan Mccarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
The euphoria surrounding Sporting Kansas City grew into epic proportions by the end of last season.
Now the 2012 campaign begins for Sporting as it finishes up preseason matchups and training in Arizona before opening the season at D.C. United on March 10.
Another returning goal scorer for
Sporting will be Kei Kamara, who has been one of the most stable forwards for the team throughout his tenure. In the midfield, there's more experience with Graham Zusi and Roger Espinoza. These players have not only contributed for Sporting, but also their national squads. Zusi saw some time with the United States National Team in January and Espinoza made several appearances for his native Honduras throughout the year.
The most intriguing offseason acquisition for the midfield was bringing in Olathe native Michael Thomas after he had spent several seasons playing soccer
Sporting returns much of the same nucleus it had last year including forwards Teal Bunbury and reigning MLS rookie of the year, C.J. Sapong. Both players will look to step up this season with the departure of Omar Bravo. Although Bravo was a massive factor on the offensive end, I expect Bunbury and Sapong to be comfortable in their roles as premier strikers for the club.
in Sweden.
The defense will not change much for Sporting either. Michael Harrington, Chance Myers, and Matt Besler all return to a backline that played well and aggressively throughout the 2011 campaign. The wildcard for the backline will be 33-year-old Brazilian Julio Cesar who's definitely on the back end of his career, but can still make an impact.
Finally, in goal, will once again be the blonde topped Dane Jimmy Nielsen who signed a contract extension through the 2013 season in November. Although Nielsen can be inconsistent, when a big save is needed, he usually comes through.
Having so little roster turnover from a top-notched MLS squad is somewhat of surprise. Usually, European clubs will poach a team's best talent, and management scrambles to find pieces to put together again. Since this wasn't the case for Sporting, it has to take advantage this season.
KU
The team no longer has to play in Arrowhead Stadium where the crowd looked like a little pepper specks in a
tomato soup bowl. Or play at Community America Ballpark where the outline of the field pushed up against the pitchers mound and outfield walls.
Sporting Kansas City now has a venue that even some of the top clubs and national teams are jealous of in Livestrong Sporting Park.
But the thing I admire most about Sporting KC is how this organization is run. It is locally owned and CEO Robb Heineman is heavily involved with the Kansas City community, and what they care about most is the product on the field and not the profit numbers for this quarter.
Look for Sporting to feed off the momentum created last season and have a successful 2012 campaign.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Aishah Sutherland, senior forward
After the loss of Carolyn Davis, Sutherland pushed the rest of the frontcourt and herself to put the Jayhawks in a position to win. This was Sutherland's seventh double-double of the season with 12 points and 17 rebounds, but her most impressive one with the absence of Davis. Sutherland continued to knock down outside shots while also collecting the necessary defensive rebounds for the Jayhawks to stay in the game.

Unfortunately for Williams could never get into the flow of the game and finished with four fouls on the night and zero points. With Davis seemingly out for an extended period of time, Williams will have a greater contribution to the roster in the coming weeks.

RYAN MCCARTHY
MANHATTAN, Kan. — With the loss of junior forward Carolyn Davis early on in Sunday's contest, senior forward Aishah Sutherland stepped into the hole Davis left to lead the Jayhawks at Kansas State.
Sutherland not only had the responsibility of carrying the front-court scoring load, but also getting freshman forward Chelsea Gardner and the rest of the remaining players ready to move forward without Davis.
Sutherland dominated the glass with 17 rebounds while also leading the team in scoring with 15 points.
"I just talked to them and tell them what they need to do," Sutherland said. "I talked to Chelsea before she got in and took over for Carolyn, and told her to just stay focused and what she needed to do and how to guard the player. When something like that happens you've got to react."
However, Sutherland's performance was not enough for Kansas to top Kansas State as it dropped its 11th straight in the Bramlage Coliseum, 47-43.
Like many of the recent games between the two squads, Kansas and Kansas State went on to be a defensive struggle with neither team shooting over 40 percent for the 40 minutes.
"Our games tend to be like heavyweight boxer fights," Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said. "The first 10 rounds all their doing is hitting and pummeling each other, but you can't separate."
Trailing by two points, with 17 seconds left, Kansas' Goodrich drove the ball into the lane looking to create a shot near the basket to tie the game at 45.
Kansas State grabbed the rebound and junior guard Brittany Chambers hit two free throws that sealed the game for the home team.
Gardner got a good look at the basket, but with a Wildcat defender staving right with her, the ball rattled right on the left side of the rim.
At the last moment, Goodrich dumped the ball off to freshman forward Chelsea Gardner, who replaced Davis.
The Jayhawks junior point guard Goodrich also had to move into
more of scoring role when she's more comfortable with being a pass-first player.
Goodrich attacked the rim and made two big threes, including an NBA-range three to open the game. She finished with 13 points.
While totaling 23 minutes in the game, Kansas was confident that Gardner could make the play to tie the game.
The team has seen three of its key contributors: Angel Goodrich, Tania Jackson, and CeCe Harper battle knee problems throughout their careers.
"She's going to have to take that because she's sliding and moving," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's got to appreciate Angel's confidence in her."
With all that said, nobody could have been prepared for what happen to Carolyn Davis.
With 16:26 remaining in the first half, Davis appeared to shoot a fairly routine basket on the left side of the lane, but a few seconds later
If any team would be prepared for a knee injury to their star player in a crucial game it the Kansas women's basketball team.
After about ten minutes, Davis was raised from the floor and placed on a stretcher and taken to the Memorial Hospital in Manhattan for further evaluation. Her official diagnosis remains unclear, but a dislocated knee was a confirmed injury.
Seeing knee injuries is apart of Bonnie Henrickson's tenure that's plagued the Jayhawks in recent years.
she collapsed to ground and lay motionless.
"Worse part of the job," she said. "The absolute worst part of the job."
With Davis' status for the season up in the air, and carrying an emotional toll, the Jayhawks were still proud of their overall effort in difficult circumstances.
"We weathered a storm and it's ugly and we make it ugly and we talked about how we've got to control your emotions in life it's now about the hand your dealt it's how you play it," Henrickson said.

GAME TO REMEMBER
After he was held scoreless at Missouri, Withey needed an encore to follow Wednesday's 25-point outburst at Baylor. With 18 points, seven blocks and a career-high 20 rebounds, Withey just that and proved Wednesday wasn't a fluke. Now he's got a rowdy Bramlage Coliseum as his venue to triumph again.

MEN'S BASKET
Kansas struggles with pressure
KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said his team was "stuck in the mud" in the first half of Saturday's contest with Kansas, a game in which the Jayhawks eventually won, 81-66. The final score could have been much different, however. The Jayhawks ended the opening half on an 11-2 run and took a commanding 51-24 lead to the locker room. Ford was determined to have a more positive second half.
"I said 'hey, we're not going to hold anything back this second half," Ford said after the loss. "Were going to be different than we were in the first in half in all aspects: mentality, approach, a lot of things."
The Cowboys did just that, throwing a full-court press at the Jayhawks to start the second half.
Sticking with his 'change everything' mentality, Ford also called for a zone defense for most of the second half, which caused problems for the Kansas offense.
"It wasn't a traditional zone," Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "We were kind of just standing still and weren't getting the ball moving fluidly and that ended up causing a couple turnovers and them getting out on breaks."
Kansas committed 11 turnovers in the second half, a far cry from the three they committed in the opening half.
The once 29-point lead was cut to
15 with just under 10 minutes to play and eventually got down to 12 at the 6:46 mark.
"It was half real bad and half real good," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "As good as we were in the first half we were just about that bad in the second half"
Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson combined for 17 points and 10 assists in the first half, but had just six points and one assist in the second half on 2-for-12 shooting.
"I said "I'm really starting to enjoy watching you guys play," Self said. "I told them that and I knew it was a bad mistake as soon as I said it and

they gave me an opportunity to correct myself at the end of the game.
Self added that his team's lack o depth lends itself to stretches of ba play because when one or two player are struggling, it's not always possible to replace them both immediately, luxury he's had with previous teams.
He also said the final 20 minute against the Cowboys could be teaching moment down the road, "good experience" he called it.
"When we play right, we're pretty good," Self said. "But when we get off on our own and don't share it or lose the edge a little bit, we get so average."

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
Following decisive victories at Baylor on Wednesday and against Oklahoma State on Saturday, the Jayhawks are 10-2 in the conference and tied for first place with Missouri. It may be easy to forget about the nearby Wildcats, considering that they are just 6-6 in the conference and they lost 67-49 at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 4. Still, the Jayhawks would be wise to not overlook their in-state foes. Kansas State has lost three conference games by three points or less. Look for junior center Jeff Withey to keep up his aggressiveness by the basket. If he does so, the Jayhawks could walk out of Manhattan with an easy victory. If not, "The Octagon of Doom" could haunt them.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Elijah Johnson, guard
In six Big 12 road games, Johnson has made just five of 24 threepoint shots, or 20.8 percent. Coach Bill Self and his team don't really understand why
Johnson
the shots aren't falling. Self has always said that Johnson makes his shots in practice. Senior guard Conner Teahan, second to Johnson with 43 three-point shot attempts in the conference season, said he doesn't think Johnson is worrying about previous misses. Sometimes, as plain as it sounds, the shots just don't go in the hole. If Withey or Robinson get in foul trouble, an improvement in Johnson's three-point shooting could save the day. Johnson hit three of six three-pointers on Saturday, but Manhattan is a different place than Lawrence.
QUESTION MARK
Can Withey keep this up?
Withey responded to his scoreless game at Missouri by completely owning the inside and scoring 25 points at Baylor last Wednesday. Then he followed it with another dominant outing against Oklahoma State, talying 18 points, seven blocks and a career-high 20 rebounds. If you throw out Withey's goose egg in the Border Showdown, he has had eight consecutive games with a double-figure scoring total. In the first five games of that eight-game stretch, he averaged 11 points. In the last three (Oklahoma, at Baylor, Oklahoma State), he averaged 19.3 points. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor talked about Withey as a necessary third scoring threat. At Kansas State, with the volume of the coliseum, Withey's numbers will depend on his energy.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"We always have tough games there. I lost last year there so I definitely want to go there and get a win."

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas keeps up the defensive pressure. The Jayhawks have given up less than 75 points in every game since Dec.19, a span in which they've gone 13-2. Kansas State has trouble scoring at times and an impressive game by Kansas defensively could equate to a big victory for the Jayhawks.

After the victory on Saturday, no member of the media mentioned his name. Self brought up Releford. Self said that even during the Jayhawks' awful second, when they were outscored by the Cowboys 42-30, Releford still kept hustling when his teammates had already lost their edge.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Sitting at 6-6 in the Big 12, Kansas State finds itself tied for fifth with Texas in the Big 12 as it welcomes Kansas to Bramlage Coliseum tonight. Coach Bill Self believes the Wildcats could easily be 9-3 in the league instead, and he's probably right. Three of the Wildcats' six conference losses have been by three points or less. At 17-7 overall, the NCAA tournament is anything but a lock at this point with six regular season games and the conference tournament to go before selection Sunday. A marquee win over a top 10 opponent would do wonders for their tournament resume, and the Wildcats will certainly get their chances over the next week and a half with games against Mizzou and Baylor immediately following Monday night's tilt with Kansas.
PLAYER TO WATCH
X
McGruder
Rodney McGruder guard
McGruder has slowed down a bit recently but has the potential for a great night
offensively nearly every time out. He'll most likely need a great night too, if an upset is in order tonight. In Kansas' loss to Iowa State, Cyclone forward Royce White had 16 points and 10 assists in the victory. Against Mizzou, Kansas allowed guard Marcus Denmont to go off for 29 points and nine rebounds. If Kansas State wants a similar outcome tonight, McGruder will need to have a similar performance offensively. He's had 19 points or more on five occasions including two 30-point plus games against Baylor and Texas.
QUESTION MARK
Where Is the offense?
In the first meeting between these schools on Jan. 4 in Allen Fieldhouse, the Wildcats were held to a staggering 49 points for the game. For reference, the Jayhawks have scored more than 50 points in one half on five different occasions this season. Kansas State's 72.4 points per game are just 79th in the country and they have been held under 70 points seven times in Big 12 play. Their conference victories have usually been grind-it-out affairs and it looks to be the only recipe for an upset tonight as well. The Wildcat offense doesn't have the weapons to outscore Kansas, but they'll have a chance if they can slow down the Jayhawks and get timely scoring.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"It was a complete mismatch.
— Kansas State coach Frank Martin after his team's 67-49 defeat at Kansas Jan. 4.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Kansas is rattled by the hostile crowd. At worst, Bramlage Coliseum will be the second toughest crowd the Jayhawks will face all season. They failed to finish Missouri off in the hornets nest that was Mizzou Arena, and Bramlage will be no different tonight.

Michigan State's Brandon Wood (30), Keith Appling (11) and Branden Dawson (22) celebrate their 58-48 win over Ohio State in an NCAA college basketball game. Saturday, in Columbus, Ohio.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Big Ten's best shooting team over the first 11 conference games was far from its best on Saturday.
Thanks in large part to trimranked Michigan State's withering, physical defense, No. 3 Ohio State hit just 26 percent from the field — almost half as good as its 49 percent coming in — in a surprising 58-48 loss on Saturday
"We looked out of sync," he said after hitting just five of 15 shots from the field. "If we executed our offense, I think some of those shots would have gone in. We went out of our system. Everybody didn't pay attention to plays, didn't run plays correctly."
"Look at the final score," he said. "Not so well."
Jared Sullinger hit his average with 17 points and added 16 rebounds, but he said the culprit in the defense was that the Buckeyes lost track of who they are.
"It's got to be a learning experience for a relatively young basketball team," he said. "We have to look at why we didn't play well. We have to get those things corrected. First and foremost, we've got to stay together."
Coach Thad Matta said this could be a turning point for his team.
Asked how the Buckeyes handled Michigan State's defense, point guard Aaron Craft had a simple answer.
Had the Buckeyes (21-4, 9-3) won, they would have owned a two-game stranglehold on the Big Ten with six games left. Now they're deadlocked atop the league with the Spartans (20-5, 9-3). And Michigan State hosts the rematch in East Lansing on March 4.
"You're still sitting atop the conference," Matta said. "We'll see what kind of a team we have when we come back tomorrow for practice."
Ohio native Adreian Payne scored 15 points, Keith Appling 14 and Draymond Green had 12 for Michigan State, which snapped a three-game losing skid to the Buckeyes while erasing Ohio State's 39-game home winning streak.
The Spartans built a 10-point lead at the half and never allowed
the Buckeyes to get closer than four points in the second half.
Sullinger, usually a threat to toss quick passes back to perimeter shooters, was attacked from all angles by Michigan State's cloying defense. He ended up with 10 turnovers.
He said the Spartans were no more physical than anybody else in the conference.
"That's every night in the Big Ten," he said.
Ohio State pulled to 44-40 on a 15-footer by Sullinger with 6:24 left, but Appling hit two free throws and Derrick Nix coaxed in a baby hook to push the lead back to eight.
Payne followed by banking in a left-handed shot over Sullinger, before Sullinger was called for a
charge to pick up his four foul with two minutes left. Green then drove around Depaush Thomas for a baseline layup to stretch the lead to 10.
Ohio State never got closer than eight again.
Deshaun Thomas and William Buford, averaging a combined 30 points, totaled just 12 — each hitting just two of 12 shots from
"We had a couple guys who defended pretty well, we had a couple of guys when we got it in the post scored, we had a couple
guys kick it out, we had a couple of big threes in the first half," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "In general, we played pretty good, maybe one of our best games in a lot of ways — and we still barely beat them."
the field.
No wonder the Buckeyes were held 29 points under their season scoring average.
"Defensively we probably did a good enough job — not a great job — but a good enough job to win the game," Matta said. "It all came down to our inability to put the ball in the basket today."

Phil Mickelson's close victory over Tiger Woods stuns crowd
Tiger Woods shakes hands with Phil Mickelson on the 18th green at Pebble Beach Golf Links during the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — He knew his game was getting close, and he broke through with flair Sunday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
That turned out to be Phil Mickelson, not Tiger Woods.
In a big, big way.
Mickelson went from a six-shot deficit to a two-shot lead in just six holes, closed with an 8-under 64 for a two-shot victory over Charlie Wi and gave Woods a Sunday thrashing not many saw coming.
Mickelson and Woods played in the second-to-last group, and Mickelson beat him by 11 shots. He won for the fourth time at Pebble Beach, and became only the ninth player in PGA Tour history with 40 wins.
"Pebble Beach ... it feels awesome no matter what number it is," Mickelson said.
It was anything but that for Woods, who was reduced to a supporting role on a cool, overcast day along the Pacific. Right when it looked as though Woods might still be in the game after holing a bunker shot for birdie on the par-3 12th. Mickelson answered by pouring in a 30-foot par putt.
Mickelson seized control for good with a 40-foot par save on the 15th hole, and he played it safe - Mickelson is capable of that every once in a while - on the 18th hole and still made birdie.
Wi, who started the final round with a three-shot lead, four-putted for double bogey on the opening hole and never quite recovered. He closed with back-to-back birdies for an even-par 72 and his fifth runner-up finish on tour.
It was the third straight week on tour that the winner started the final round at least six shots behind a 54- hole leader going after his first tour victory.
The shocker, though, was how Woods fell apart.
He has been taking big strides with his game over the past few months, and he looked poised to break through after a 67 in the third round at Pebble Beach got him to within four shots of the lead.
But he failed to make birdie on the easy opening stretch at Pebble Beach, and even when he made his first birdie at the par-5 sixth. Mickelson poured in a 20-foot eagle putt to take the outright lead.
"I didn't hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful," Woods said. "As good as I felt on the greens yesterday, I felt bad today. Anything I tried to do was not working. Consequently, I made a ton of mistakes on the green."
Woods used to own Mickelson, but that changed at the 2007 Deutsche Bank Championship. This was the fifth straight time Mickelson posted the better score when playing in the same group as Woods in the final round.
Two weeks ago in his 2012 debut at Abu Dhabi, Woods was tied for the lead with unheralded Robert Rock going into the final round and didn't break part, tying for third.
Mickelson started his season sluggishly, failing to crack the top 25 at the Humana Challenge and Phoenix Open, and missing the cut at Torrey Pines. He said his putting was as good as ever, and it was a matter of getting his game in svnc.
It simply sang on Sunday, mostly his amazing touch on the greens — a long eagle putt at No. 2 that caught part of the hole, long two-putts for par and enough birdies to make him a winner at Pebble Beach again.
Mickelson has won three of those tournaments, although they have yet to be in the final group on those occasions.
"It ites just amazing." Mickelson said. "I felt like my game was there."
Mickelson finished at 17-under 269 and earned $1.152 million for his first win since the Houston Open last year. He will move to No. 11 in the world.
but coming out the first couple of weeks, I posted some horrendous scores and started to question it. To be able to play the way I did the last 18 holes really means a lot."
Ricky Barnes closed with a 67 and finished third. Kevin Na tied for fifth and earned a spot in the Match Play Championship in two weeks at Arizona.
Mickelson nearly holed an eagle putt across the second green; Woods missed a 5-foot birdie putt that stayed two inches above the hole. Mickelson holed a 15-foot birdie putt down the hill at the fourth; Woods had a 30-foot putt up the hill that was 3 feet short. Mickelson's tee shot on the par-3 fifth settled a foot from the cup. Woods missed his birdie putt from 12 feet.
Yes, there was a big charge at Pebble Beach — from Lefty.
Mickelson started the day six
Wi talked about battling the
demons of self-doubt, and they must have had the first green surrounded. Equipped with a three-shot lead to start the final round, Wi four-putted from 35 feet above the hole for a double bogey.
That still wasn't enough for Woods to get in on the action. Standing in the sixth fairway, Woods was only one shot out of the lead, yet the sleeves of his red shirt and his name on the leaderboard didn't seem to make him stand out the way it has before.
shots behind and went two shots ahead with an eagle on the sixth hole. Woods then vanished in a series of blunders — missing a two ans a half-foot par putt on the seventh, missed a 5-foot par putt on the eighth, and a third straight bogey at No. 9 when he hit his approach into the bunker.
The only hope for Woods came on the 12th, when he held his bunker shot. It looked like it might be a two-shot swing, pulling him to within three of the lead, untilMickelson made his 30-footer for par.
Just like that, the game was on.
The opening holes had something
to do with that, and watching Mick-
elson play alongside him.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Withey playing large
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Opposition beware: junior center Jeff Withey is falling on the scorer's table for possessions now.
Oklahoma State freshman guard Cezar Guerrero tried to up-fake Withey, who held his ground. A half-second later, when Guerrero took a shot, Withey soared with an extended right arm and blocked it. He tipped the ball to the sideline, beat Guerrero to the ball and threw it to his teammate, junior guard Travis Releford, as he fell on the scorer's table.
Withey ran from the scorer's table to the other end of the floor and demanded the ball. Once he got it, he drew two defenders and tossed a no-look, over-the-head pass to junior forward Kevin Young for the wide-open dunk.
It was this hustle and skill from Withey, who finished with 18 points, a career-high 20 rebounds and seven blocks, that propelled No.7 Kansas (20-5, 10-2) to an
81-66 victory over Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Teams focus on Thomas a lot," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. "When jeff is playing well, it gives us that extra threat."
With Withey flying all over the court for blocks, deflections, rebounds and points, Robinson reached 24 points and 14 rebounds, his 18th double-double, rather easily.
"I feel like I'm not even working to score anymore now with the way Jeff is playing," Robinson said.
Led by Withey's energy and production, the Jayhawks broke the game open early and led 51-24 going into halftime. However in the second half, perhaps because they felt comfortable with the lead, the Jayhawks played sloppily, committing 11 turnovers and succumbing to the Cowboys' full-court pressure.
"It was unbelievable to watch from my standpoint," coach Bill Self said. "Just making grade-
school plays."
Despite his team's second-half carelessness, Withey never slowed down. Even when he didn't block a shot, he challenged Oklahoma State shooters with a shot-altering hand, to swat. The fieldhouse crowd adored the energy, going wild for every one of his triumphs.
Withey was just one week removed from a scoreless night at Missouri.
"Coach was really angry about that," Withey said. "He feels like I just let them punk me."
On Wednesday at Baylor, Withe scored a career-high 25 points. It signified potential, not yet consistency.
Now he's got two consecutive colossal performances, both times taking advantage of the attention that Robinson draws.
"He fully understands he's playing with the best player in America," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said, "That's good for Kansas, but bad for us."

Doubles play helps tennis take both weekend matches
CORBIN MIHELIC
cmihelic@kansan.com
"A lot of our girls stepped up and helped the other girls," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We're just really fortunate that we are competing as hard as we are."
The Kansas women's tennis team remains perfect in dual match play after taking down Illinois State and University of Texas El Paso over the weekend.
Yesterday, the Jayhawks overcame singles losses from Dylan Windom and Monica Pezzotti to defeat a struggling Illinois State team, 5-2. Pezzotti, a junior, has been forced to fill the No. 1 singles void left by senior Ekaterina Morozova for this season's dual matches.
Pezzotti has already had four different singles or doubles matches decided in an extra set or tiebreaker this season. Morozova is still a member of the team, but will not be competing in any matches this spring.
"It's not like she's getting beat really, really bad," Hall-Holt said referring to Pezzotti. "She's competing for those points against good No. 1 players. I'm really
Ludueha, who joined the team this semester from Curico, Chile, has yet to lose a match as a Jayhawk, remaining undefeated at the No. 5 singles spot and playing doubles with Windom.
The team won two of the three doubles matches against Illinois State. Paulina Los, Claire Dreyer and Victoria Khanevskaya all won their singles matches against the Redbirds. Freshman newcomer Maria Belen Ludueña had the fourth singles victory yesterday in what Hall-Holt called a "not a pretty match."
happy with Monica's performance and the way she is competing right now"
{"ludueña's) demeanor on the court and her excitement about being here on the team competing has actually filtered out through the team." Hall-Holt said. "It's very exciting to watch her compete. She was struggling with going from playing on clay court to hard court, but she has adjusted so quickly since she's been here."
On Friday, the team defeated UTEP, also 5-2, sweeping doubles play and using that momentum to close the Miners out in
singles. Los (No. 2 singles) and Khanevskaya (No. 6 singles) both lost in straight sets, but not before the dual had already been decided.
The team will take tomorrow off before having two more home dual matches this coming weekend against Bradley on Saturday and Arkansas-Little Rock on Sunday.
"We're just going to get in and view video and watch the little things we need to work on," Hall-Holt said. "Some of us need to work on returns, and serves and different situations. We'll just review that and work individually with the girls and get them ready for Saturday's match."

TRACK AND FIELD
Women's relay excels, qualifies for nationals
The Kansas track and field team had some major accomplishments this weekend in two out-of-state meets.
Half of the team went to Seattle, Wash., for the Flotrack Husky Classic, while the other half went to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invitational, where they met with some of the best track and field programs in the nation.
The women's 4x400-meter relay race in Arkansas was the highlight of the weekend. Four schools set an
automatic qualifying time for the NCAA national meet in Boise, Idaho, on March 9, including Kansas.
The 4x4 relay team of Denesha Morris, Paris Daniels, Diamond Dixon and Taylor Washington did not win the event title, but still managed to punch their ticket to Boise, along with LSU, Arkansas and Texas. These teams are now the four fastest in the nation, and the only teams that have automatically qualified for nationals.
Senior Rebeka Stowe once again established herself as the University's
fastest 3,000-meter runner in history.
Stowe broke former teammate Lauren Bonds' record.
In Washington, junior Andrea Geubelle won another title in the triple jump. Her best jump of the day was just an inch short of her best this season, which is the second-best jump in the nation so far. Geubelle also finished second in the long jump, with fellow Jayhawk horizontal jumper junior Francine Simpson winning the competition.

A HEART-Y HISTORY
VALENTINE'S DAY ORIGINS
1601
St. Valentine's Day is mentioned in William Shakespeare's Hamlet, signifying the day's rising popularity.
BCE
Rome celebrates Lupercalia, a pagan fertility festival, on Feb. 13, 14 and 15. Young men strip naked and spank young women's back-sides to improve their fertility.
1847
Esther Howland from Worcester, Mass., markets Valentine's Day cards.
1400
1913 Hallmark Cards starts producing Valentine's Day cards.
The High Court of Love, which had jurisdiction over marriage contracts, cheating spouses and abuse, opens in Paris. Soon after, the Duke of Orleans sends his sweetheart the first Valentine's love letter.
AD 197
1929
Bishop Valentine of Terni is captured, beaten and beheaded in Rome on Feb. 14 for his Christian beliefs, according to legend.
During the Al Capone era, Chicago gangsters kill each other with machine guns on Feb. 14 in what's known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
1382
Geoffrey Chaucer links St. Valentine's day to romance in his Parlement of Foules: "For this was on St. Valentine's Day / When every fowl cometh there to choose his mate."

Pope Gelasius declares Feb. 14 St. Valentine's Day, a religious celebration with a feast. It's considered to be a compromise for the Roman Lupercalia festival.
On Feb. 14, Valentine of Rome, who is a Christian, is martyred after supposedly helping prisoners. In other legends, he officiates secret weddings and sends a note to his love, the emperor's daughter, saying "From your Valentine."

1980s
St. Valentine's day turns into a commercial holiday with an increase in chocolate, flower and diamond sales.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Instead of buying cards, chocolates, or flowers, young men would strip naked and whip females with goat or dog skins to improve their fertility during the pagan festival Lupercalia, which occurred during mid-February. Through the years, this festival was co-opted by Christians and is now known as the modern day Valentine's Day, according to the National Geographic
Today's meaning suggests a day for couples to share their affection. However, some believe showing love should not be relegated to just one day.
"If you're going to be with someone, they should be nice to you all the time, not just on Valentine's Day," said Molly Hadfield, Leavenworth senior.
A selectively special day or not, today's traditions associated with the holiday are far from the origins of St. Valentine himself.
The name Valentine is derived from a pair of Christian martyrs, one executed in AD 197 and the other in AD 289 under Emperor Claudius, according to The Telegraph. Legend has it that the later Valentine fell in love with his jailer's daughter and also performed forbidden marriages for soldiers sworn to celibacy.

Professors boycott publications
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcpolla@kansan.com
Elsevier, an academic journal company, is getting a failing grade from thousands of professors who have decided to boycott the company.
Academic journals used to be published by not-for-profit organizations that wanted to provide scholars and students a way to exchange ideas at little to no cost. Because professors would submit and review content for free, larger companies saw an opportunity to make money and took over the academic publishing industry. Now 60 to 70 percent of academic journals are published by large commercial publishers, which hasn't been good news for professors or the library, said Ada Emmett, the head of scholarly communications research for the University library system.
"The scholarly publishing system is in crisis," Emmett said.
After years of unrest with Elsevier, one of the leading international publishers, professors reached their breaking point. In the past, articles written about research that comes from government funding have been available to everyone. However, last month several congressmen introduced the Research Works Act, which would give publishers the right to make people pay to access articles produced by taxpayer money. The congressmen had received more than 30 donations from Elsevier executives, Emmett said.
Thousands of professors from all over the world have since signed their names on thecostofknowledge.com, agreeing to boycott the publisher by
not submitting or reviewing articles and refusing to do editorial work.
"I don't think they really should exist," said Mohamed L-Hodiri, a professor of economics who is participating in the boycott. "It's part of a huge rip-off, basically. Elsevier is most criminal in that respect."
El-Hodiri questions the quality of the journals and fears that much of the content is edited by people who just agree with, rather than challenge, the points presented. He said that instead of allowing big name publishers to run the academic journal industry, he would like to see academic associations produce their own journals.
One of El-Hodiri's biggest complaints about Elsevier is that it has prevented him from accessing his own work. The company bought the rights to out-of print journals, including one published in Italy, which contained a paper written by El-Hodiri. The company would not allow him to view his own work unless he bought back the rights.
Other scholars are not as convinced that Elsevier has done anything wrong. Seungly Oh, a doctoral student studying math from Busan, South Korea, recently submitted an article to the Elsevier published "Journal of Differential Equations". He thinks most of the complaints regarding the high cost and the business practices of the company apply to most journal publishers and Elsevier should not be singled out.
"The idea in knowledge is dissemination, spreading the knowledge, not putting it in golden cages with the key in some idiot's pocket," El-Hodiri said.
"I'm personally not participating and I doubt that many of the graduate students are," Oh said. "It's mostly tenure tract professors that have the luxury to do this."
Oh was conflicted about how to feel because many of the mathematics academics that he respects were decrying the company, but he knows it is critical for graduate students to get articles published in reputable journals.
"For us it's the difference between getting a job or not." Oh said.
Elsevier responded to the boycott in an open letter available on its website saying that its journal prices are lower than the competition and the company provides a variety of access options. The letter said that while the claims of the boycotters are inaccurate, the company will work to better serve the academic community and be more transparent.
"I see it as a very good thing that people become aware of what they're doing and what impact it has on the community," Emmett said. "Because it's not the community of libraries, its the community of students that want to read them, the faculty that want to read them."
Emmett said that the library is currently buying journals from the company as a part of a multi-year contract, but might consider not renewing the subscription if students and faculty expressed that they could do without it.
Regardless of whether or not people decide to participate in the boycott, Emmett thinks publicizing the problems is a significant step.

Dialogue among Lawrence tenants and landlords key
No working heat, oven, or garbage disposal and a cabinet that would fall off the wall.
Those are just a few of the things Ryan Peters, a junior from Leawood, learned to live with last year because of complications with his lease.
"It honestly sucked," said Peters, who lived in the Oread neighborhood with seven roommates. "We would call to get stuff fixed, they'd answer and say someone would fix it, but after two months or so we just fixed everything ourselves."
Peters didn't file a complaint or sue when he didn't get his security deposit back, but wishes he would have done a more thorough investigation of his landlord.
"I didn't have the time to file anything and I doubt it would've been worth it," Peters said. "But I wish I would've talked to the tenants who had the landlord before or something to know what I was getting into."
One way to assess a potential landlord or property management service is to look up legal incidents they have been involved in.
Steve Allton, attorney at Legal Services for Students, said it is not uncommon in Lawrence for tenants to sue to get their security deposit back or for landlords to sue
"We want students to communicate with us when there is a problem," Allton said. "That way, they aren't in it alone, but ultimately communicating with your landlord and allowing your landlord to communicate with you usually allows you to work something out outside of court."
Robert Farha, owner of The Wagon Wheel and Crimson Properties, said as a landlord he tries to keep in mind that he was a college student once, and that most students are first time renters.
"On the flip side of that though, I do want my tenants to treat it as their own home," Farha said. "I don't want to keep anyone's deposit, but if things aren't left how they were in the beginning, I don't have much of a choice."
Alton said the best way for both parties to avoid court is communication.
Farha has managed properties since 1999 and has never been to court. He said the best way to avoid court is by understanding what is expected from both parties.

Peters said he pays better attention to whom he is renting from now.
"I will try and ask around," Peters said. "Talking to the current tenants without the landlord helps, and so far I haven't had problem with where I'm at now, and I hope I won't have to go through a bad experience like that again."

APARTMENT LAWSUITS BY THE NUMBERS
Edited by Anna Allen
Midwest Property Management has been sued 12 times since 2004. Of those cases, 10 cases were dismissed or disposed, which could have been for various reasons, including settlement or the plaintiff's decision to drop charges. Midwest won one case, a tenant won another of the cases, and one case is pending. The Douglas County Courthouse did not have any records on file of Midwest suing a tenant.

Jayhawk Property Management has been sued five times since 2002. All of those cases were dismissed or disposed. It currently has three cases pending, in which tenants are being sued, but no records were on file showing it had previously sued tenants. Jayhawk Property Management declined to comment.
Fairfield Lawrence Exchange, which owns The Connection, has sued tenants 37 times since 2010.

GOP agrees to payroll cuts
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy of California said the House could vote on the payroll tax measure this week, but that the fate of unemployment benefits for millions of the long-term jobless and efforts to forestall a scheduled cuts in fees to doctors who treat Medicare patients would remain in the hands of a House-Senate negotiating panel that's looking for ways to pay for them.
WASHINGTON — In an abrupt about-face, House GOP leaders announced Monday that they are willing to extend the two percentage point cut in the payroll tax through the end of the year and add the approximately $100 billion cost to the nation's $15 trillion-plus debt.
The GOP statement came after intense talks this weekend failed
to produce an agreement. Republicans were pressing for pay cuts for federal workers and requiring them to contribute more to their pensions. They recoiled
"...Republicans went to great lengths to change their rules to say you don't have to pay for those."
statement said.
REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN Democrat-Md.
The move by the GOP leader-
Democrats were encouraged and said the development could break an impasse over the payroll tax proposal and the other expiring provisions.
at a Democratic proposal to raise Transportation Security Administration per-ticket airline security fees.
"We've been making the point that when (it comes to) tax cuts for folks at the very top the House Republicans went to great lengths to change their rules to say you don't have to pay for those," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. "And yet they've been saying that when it comes to a short-term, 10-month payroll tax cut for middle-income people all of a sudden you have to pay for it."
"Democrats' refusal to agree to any spending cuts in the conference committee has made it necessary for us to prepare this fallback option to protect small business job creators and ensure taxes don't go up on middle class workers," the GOP leadership
Without action by Congress by the end of the month, payroll taxes will rise for 160 million Americans. The two percentage point tax cut delivers about $20 a week to a worker making $50,000 a year and a tax cut totaling $2,000 this year for someone making a $100,000 salary.
the GEOR leadership still would leave it to negotiators to come up with $30 billion or $40 billion in deficit savings to extend jobless benefits averaging about $300 a week to people who have been
out of work for more than six months. Republicans have pressed to cut the number of weeks from the maximum 99 permitted under current policies and economic conditions down to as few as 59 weeks. They also are pressing to require people receiving unemployment to enroll in GED classes and allow states to condition benefits on the passage of drug tests.

Capriles warned that newly stiffened price controls won't work and that affected items such as deodorant will become scarce.
Capriles said at a news conference Monday that after the vote, "Venezuela woke up with a new political reality."
The 39-year-old opposition candidate is governor of Miranda state and will face Chavez in an Oct. 7 election.
Opposition election chief Teresa Albanes announced the preliminary results, saying that Capriples won about 62 percent of the vote, beating Zulia state Gov. Pablo Perez by a margin of more than 30 percentage
Chavez's opponents lined up to vote in many areas, surpassing most expectations with a turnout of about 2.9 million ballots cast out of Venezuela's 18 million registered voters.

Israeli Prime Minister links Iran to car bombings in India
TOLL FREE 1-800-555-1234
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHIASSailants targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia in near-simultaneous strikes Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed on archenemy Iran, and its Lebanese proxy, Hezballah. Iran denied responsibility for the attacks.
The bombs, which wounded four people, threatened to ratchet up already high tensions between Iran, which has been accused of developing a nuclear weapons program, and Israel, which says such a program would be an existential threat to the Jewish state.
A worker sweeps debris as police officers gather around a car belonging to the Israel Embassy that was damaged in an explosion. The wife of an Israeli diplomat was injured in the explosion.
Tehran already has accused Israel of covert attacks on its nuclear program, including assassinations of top nuclear officials and scientists.
The attacks Monday appeared to have been carried out with sticky bombs attached to cars by magnets. Similar weapons were used against Iran's nuclear scientists, feeding suspicions that the new bombings were a retaliation crafted to mirror those attacks.
"Today we witnessed two attempts of terrorism against innocent civilians," Netanyahu told a gathering of lawmakers from his Likud Party. "Iran is behind these attacks and it is the largest terror exporter in the world," he said.
In India, an assailant on a motorcycle apparently attached a bomb to an Israeli diplomat's vehicle and it quickly exploded, officials said. Israel said an attempted car bombing in Georgia was thwarted.

BUCHAREST, Romania Military planes and police helicopters flew in tons of emergency food to snowbowl villages and ships in the Balkans on Monday, after blizzards so fierce that some people had to cut tunnels through 15 feet of snow to get out of their homes.
Since the end of January, Eastern Europe has been pummeled by a record-breaking cold snap and the heaviest snowfall in recent memory. Hundreds of people, many of them homeless, have died in the bitter cold and tens of thousands have
Authorities declared a state of emergency Monday in eastern Romania, where 6,000 people have been cut off for days. About a dozen major roads were closed, 300 trains canceled and more than 1,000 schools shut down.

Bus route changes will aid students
ELISE REUTER
ereuter@kansan.com
Members of Student Senate and the KU Transit Commission are discussing several changes to make existing bus routes more efficient, as well as proposing two new bus routes for KU students.
The new routes would travel a loop that passes through Clinton Parkway near the Legends Apartment Complex, and goes to Daisy Hill. The proposed "route 19" would be a means of bringing students on campus for their classes during the day.
The other would be a SafeBus route at night to reduce driving under the influence. The costs for the proposed changes would be covered by an increase of $2.50 to student fees, with the support of the City of Lawrence to help keep the costs down.
While the proposals have not been verified yet, three public hearings will be held by the University and the city of Lawrence to get public opinion on the proposed changes. The meetings will be held this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at various locations in Lawrence.
"Over the year, a lot of people have been asking about it [a bus route to Legends Apartments]."
We looked into it, but it was always very costly. Since then, we've been looking at how we can make it possible," said KU Parking and Transit Transportation Coordinator Casey Briner.
More than 2,500 students live along the proposed route, according to Briner. The route passes several other apartment complexes including the Grove and Parkway Commons. Some of these complexes have their own shuttle system, including the Legends apartment complex, though students still expressed that the new bus route could be useful.
"I've heard people complain that the wait between buses is so long that it [the Legends bus system] is not functional. If you miss a bus, you might miss class, because it's
a 30 minute wait between buses," said Emily Shapker, a junior from Kansas City. "I really like the SafeRide bus idea too; Legends is so far away from Mass Street that everyone there pretty much drives. So hopefully it will prevent drunk driving."
Routes 32 and 36 will also combine to make a "U-shaped" route, and the southern portion of route 32 will be removed.
Several smaller changes to the bus system were also proposed. For students living on Daisy Hill, the red and yellow SafeBuses will be staggered at 10-minute intervals instead of the usual 20 minutes. The green SafeBus route will also be changed; it will go straight to downtown Lawrence without stopping at Daisy Hill.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Upcoming meetings for bus route changes:
- Wednesday, 5 p.m. at the Douglas County Fairgrounds,
2110 Harper Street
- Thursday, 4 p.m. in the Malott Room at the Kansas Union
- Friday, 10 a.m. at the Lawrence Transit Administrative Office, 933 New Hampshire Street

Bon lver's second record, with each song based on a real or imaginary place, opened up his sound to softrock influences, as well as synths, horns and other instrumentation that veered away from his folk roots. It was also nominated, and won, for best alternative music album, counting as one of Vernon's four Grammy nods this year.

Vernon first gained attention for his 2007 debut, "For Emma, Forever Ago," recorded in isolation in rural Wisconsin and filled with soaring vocal harmonies. Between his debut and his self-titled second album released last year, Vernon collaborated with Kanye West, a move that introduced his name to a much wider audience. The Chicago hip-hop artist uses Vernon's voice on the first track of "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," and closes the album with a song based on Bon Iver's "Woods."

Adele, Houston focus of show
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — The Grammys cast aside their celebratory vibe Sunday to pay tribute to singer Whitney Houston, whose death over the weekend hung heavy over the 54th annual awards show.
Until Saturday, the preshow drama had focused on Adele and how the sixtime-nominee would fare in her first public performance
since canceling a tour and having surgery on her vocal cords.
A glowing Adele did not disappoint, nor was she disappointed. She won six Grammys, including the Big Three: song and record of the year for "Rolling in the Deep," and album of the year for "21." Earlier in the night, she thanked "the doctors who brought my voice back." Her voice sounded a touch raspy at points, but her resolve surged as she powered through "Rolling in the Deep." Without much more than a few hand gestures and a couple of
Adele
She described her winning album "21" as being about something "everyone's been through ... which is a rubbish relationship," and that universality translated to the year's biggest-selling and now most-acclaimed recording.
Houston's death in a Los Angeles hotel room Saturday put the Grammys into scramble mode, as they altered the telecast schedule and devised an appropriate tribute to the pop icon. "We've had a death in our family," host LL Cool J said. He offered "a prayer for a woman we loved, for a fallen sister."
shy smiles, she commanded the screen like few performers during the 3-hour nationally televised broadcast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A great song and a great voice will do that for you.
Jennifer Hudson performed a stark version of the Dolly Parton song that Houston made her own, "I Will Always Love You," on "The Bodyguard" soundtrack. Hudson, one of countless singers influenced by Houston's pop-gospel sound, played it straight and true, pushing her voice hard in the final turn, the slight cracking exposing the intensity
of emotion that underlined this annual music-industry gathering.
“There's a little bit of a dark cloud ... a lot of people are heartbroken,” country singer Miranda Lambert said before the telecast. “but we can let music heal us.”
Bruce Springsteen came not to heal but to incite. He kicked open the telecast with a song that rocked the building, brought a clapping Paul McCartney out of his seat and expressed no small measure of discontent in an election year. "Where's the promise from sea to shining sea?" Springsteen sang on "We Take Care of Our Own," from his forthcoming album. He was backed up by an orchestra, but the sound that came through was clanging guitars and thundering Max Weinberg drums.
The telecast was rife with curious decisions. Chris Brown, who only three years ago backed out of the Grammys amid a criminal proceeding involving an assault on the singer Rihanna, scored multiple appearances. Yet the Gramms made only passing mentions to the late "Soul Train" founder Don Cornelius and jazz-poet Gil Scott-Heron.
AWARDS
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Inevitable Grammy goofs
Here are six of the most notable of the evening's slip-ups, gaffes and other "I don't get it" moments:
LOS ANGELES — The Grammy Awards: What would the ceremony be without its weird moments, its awkward collaborations or puzzling choices?
1. The Recording Academy did a tremendous job responding to the sudden death of former pop titan Whitney Houston, arranging a gorgeously simple tribute from Jennifer Hudson. But nobody could've predicted the awkwardness of the ceremony's opening line. Gearing up to perform "We Take Care of Our Own," Bruce Springsteen asked the crowd, "Anyone alive out there?"
3. What's an award show without Kanye West? He won for best rap performance for his "Otis" collaboration with Jay-Z
2. The Foo Fighters, the traditionalist guitar rockers led by Dave Grohl, must've been on sale when the Grammys were budgeting Sunday's performance schedule. The band was omnipresent at the show, from playing in the parking lot outside — maybe they'd turn up too much of the furniture inside already — to inexplicably joining the late-hour dance-music collaboration with Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, DeadMau5 and David Guetta.
and also took the best rap album in the pre-telecast for "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," but the Chicago spitfire was nowhere to be seen.
The innovative Kanye thrives on excitement and unpredictability. And with the recently recovered, wholly genial Adele set to take all her awards, it was the kind of odds lockdown that makes betting, or chest-beating, a moot point.
4. Chris Brown: Are we ready to embrace him so full-heartedly? Three years after assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, Brown was embraced by the academy, which invited him to perform his own music on top of some sort of Cubist contraption seemingly designed by Atari. Then later on, he leads the aforementioned dance party that showed rich people what the Coachella dance tent has been like for the last several years.
We have to say that Rihanna would've been the better choice to lead that number; her music has
5. Praise for Rihanna aside, we can't totally let her off the hook for one of the night's most plodding medleys. "We Found Love" dribbled into a Coldplay acoustic puddle — a serious downtick in momentum. If only they'd flipped the order and saved Rihanna's slick jam for last. Regardless of who started, the set behind both performers was a torrent of images seemingly ripped from someone's crashing iPhone, an onslaught of multicolor slashes and glowing auras.
6. Nicki Minaj's performance — Catholic nightmare overload or inspired frighttest? Wait, notice how those two things aren't that different? It might take us years to process all the ideas at work in Minaj's performance, and while we applaud her for presenting them all with gusto, it seemed a case of too much, too late.

EDITORIAL
Other GOP candidates should pay heed to Ron Paul's stances on foreign policy
Ron Paul has had more success on the voting trail than some expected
particularly among young voters. But what is it about Ron Paul that attracts so many young voters? His stance on marijuana legalization? His plan to cut $1 trillion in spending from the federal budget in his first year as president?
According to Paul's book "Liberty Defined," his foreign policy seeks to conserve public resources and avoid using force against other nations.
While those policies have found traction with some, the most popular policy among young people, by far, has been his foreign policy.
"Foreign aid wastes billions, with unintended consequences," Paul writes. "Many of the large
foreign aid grants are driven strictly by special interest politics and a pretense that it serves our national
Paul argues that the United States military should be used as a national defense system, not a
On the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, Paul writes "We tax people to blow up bridges overseas, then rebuild them.
"This means young voters believe that rather than using force, we should politically,and peacefully gain influence in the world."
We have a $1 trillion foreign operation to operate our empire.
According to Paul, the United States can make an impact around the world without enforcing its power through military force. The United States, he writes, "can't spread our goodness through the barrel of a gun."
globaloffensive system. This is something that is growing in popularity among young voters. But which young voters?
Many soldiers who have
served the military in Iraq and Afghanistan have returned, and have overwhelmingly shown support to Ron Paul. Paul has more support than any other candidate among military members. In 2008, Paul's top three campaign donors were the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force, according to
the public information website
Opensecrets.org.
Also, in a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, it was concluded that younger generations "are more likely to favor multilateralism over unilateralism and the use of diplomacy, rather than relying on military strength, to ensure peace."
This means young voters believe that rather than using force, we should politically and peacefully gain influence in the world. Paul is the only current candidate challenging the status quo of Washington politics, which has attracted many young voters.
While Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have much support on the national level, they don't have the same support of young voters as
Paul.
This is particularly true right here on the University campus, which has one of the nation's largest Youth for Ron Paul groups.
To these other candidates, if you are looking for an "in" with young voters and a way to garner success at the polls with those voters under the age of 40, I suggest taking a good hard look at Ron Paul's foreign policy.
We know that it appeals to young voters, and we can see why. Take a look at this policy, and find the parts that appeal to the youth. Try and work those parts into your existing scheme, and success will come with it.

Population growth has far reaching effects
Demographic changes around the world will have long and short term consequences unique to our time period
Last Halloween, the earth's population reached an astonishing 7 billion people. If this seems unremarkable to you, consider that in 1800, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the world's population was just 1 billion. In 1900, it was just over 1.5 billion.
By Greg Loving
gloving@kansan.com
The fact that the world has grown by over 2 billion people during the time that the average KU student has been alive illustrates just how remarkable the period we are living in is compared to the rest of human history.
Today, population growth doesn't just affect how much of the world's resources we consume.
Relative changes in demography from country to country are driving nearly every economic and geopolitical trend of our age.
Take for instance the rise of China and the relative decline of Western economic power.
the costs of caring for its elderly.
For the last several decades, China has enforced an aggressive one-child policy that has dramatically reduced fertility rates and slowed population growth. As fewer Chinese are born to replace the aging masses, the topheavy Chinese demographic will become increasingly burdened by
Furthermore, an unforeseen effect of the one-child policy has been the imperative for male children in Chinese culture. Sadly, the consequence is sometimes female infanticide.
"In fact, much of the global strife during the last decade, including 9/11 and the ensuing War on Terror, was caused by changing populations in some of the world's developing regions."
But more people isn't always better, and China's population advantage will eventually return to haunt them.
As a result, "The Economist" predicts that by 2030 nearly a fifth of Chinese males will find
The world's seven billionth person was likely born somewhere in Asia, fittingly reflecting this shifting global center of economic gravity.
With a population of more than 1.3 billion, China has been able to make up for shortcomings in productivity and skilled labor by employing a massive workforce willing to work for wages below those in the West. This advantage recently made China the second largest economy in the world (surpassing Japan in 2010) and by 2016, it is projected to push China past the US to become the largest economy on the planet.
themselves out of luck with the ladies, as she simply won't be enough brides to go around. As anyone who finds himself or herself alone on Valentines Day knows, this could have a potentially destabilizing effect on the country.
Similar population concerns haunt the long-term future of the United States. Last summer, the U.S.'s debt rating was decreased for the first time in history due to an inadequate response to "the structural issues required to effectively address the rising U.S. public debt burden." Regardless of what politicians are telling you, the U.S. debt outlook isn't scary because of earmarks or bailouts.
It's long-term entitlements designed to care for our aging population that pose the greatest threat to our economic security. As we live longer and Baby Boomers retire, there will be more people taking money out of the government than paying money into it. We have a demographic challenge, not a spending problem.
Population issues affect far more than just the markets. In fact, much of the global strife during the last decade, including 9/11 and the ensuing War on Terror, was caused by changing populations in some of the world's
developing regions.
Take for example the Middle East, where much of the world's conflict and change is currently occurring. Estimates from "Foreign Affairs" magazine show that more than 65 percent of the Arab world's population is less than 30.
Alone, this wouldn't be an issue, but the same region has some of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world—as elevated as $75\%$ in countries like Algeria. This is the result of weak educational systems, poor government institutions and an exploding youth population. There simply aren't enough jobs for everyone who wants one.
As the old adage goes, idle hands can be the devils workshop. Many of these unemployed youth are drawn to crime, violence and in rare cases, radical strains of Islam that produce terrorists intent on waging war against the modern world. The tragic consequences of this particular demographic problem are painfully evident in places like Bagdad, Kabul and New York City.
Of course, it would be remiss to paint changing populations as an entirely negative phenomenon. Those same unemployed youth in the Middle East brought about a wave of uprisings across the region that toppled dictators and spread democracy.
For better or worse, population changes will continue to drive world events throughout the coming century. By 2100, the UN estimates that more than 10 billion people will inhabit the earth.
Despite the inevitable tension this growth will create, it is estimated that the global economy will continue to grow at a faster rate than population. This good news means that come around 2025, the the world's eight billionth child will be born into better circumstances than number seven billion.

RELATIONSHIPS
Don't blame the day for your woes
This Valentine's Day, I'm standing up in cupid's defense.
The point of Valentine's Day is to celebrate love, whether that be romantic, familial, platonic, or whatever. But some statistics show that February 14th can be detrimental for romantic relationships because the disappointment the holiday may lead us to cheat, reconsider our relationships, or break up altogether.
However, these studies fail to recognize that the disappointment Valentine's Day can give us is no more a result of the holiday than any other day in the relationship. It's important to understand that what causes us to be disappointed probably stems from deeper issues within the relationship.
So it is for that reason that I hereby find Valentine's Day not guilty of conspiracy to damage relationships everywhere.
Writers like Amelia Wasserman for "Technorati" and life-after-divore columnist Vicki Larson of "The Huffington Post" advocate that V-Day can hurt romance because it heightens our expectations for our partners and often ends in disappointment.
Wasserman says that the
number of users on online C an d i a n adultery sites spiked in 2010 between Feb. 13 and Feb. 15 due to unmet expectations for the day of love.

wrong. Numbers don't lie.
So rather than bashing Valentine's Day, we have to evaluate the relationship to understand why it went south. It's valid for Valentine's Day to be the straw the broke the camel's back, but ending the relationship over not getting a certain
However, correlation is not causation. Our relationship woes are our fault, never cupid's.
— is this: if you don't want it to be complicated, don't make it complicated. Holidays are what you want them to be. If we become disappointed enough in a sub-par Valentine's Day to end the relationship, that's probably a reflection on the relationship itself, not the holiday.
The thing about Valentine's Day — and any other holiday
because it shows he knows what I like and how to keep me happy, and that's exactly what I want.
My long-term boyfriend and I are still deciding on the final details of our date night this Valentine's Day. We're keeping it fairly simple: a gift exchange and dinner in Kansas City. Even though we have been together since 2010, my expectations for V-Day are neither high nor low. I expect to spend time with him, but I'd be just as satisfied bonding over cheesecake froyo and trashy TV as I would be dining at the Legends. I already like doing that anyway, so I wouldn't say no to it on Valentine's Day
Our second Valentine's Day as a couple is about spending time together, not about whether or not he gets me what I've been hinting at (and by that, I mean flat out telling him what I want).
Tiffany & Co. necklace is unreasonable.
And that's not to say that disappointment is a petty issue. In fact, it can be very serious; it ended one of my own relationships.
But we have to be honest about what's causing the disappointment and how much of it we're willing to take before throwing in the towel.
Instead of pining over the holiday, have fun with it. If you don't want to deal with a fancy dinner and expensive presents, go somewhere cheap that's still good (like El Mezcal) and hit up Pinterest for DIY and craft ideas.
Relationships do survive the hype of Valentine's Day. Yours can too.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Jeff Withey, junior center
The undersized Kansas State frontcourt couldn't contain Withey as he continued his domination of opposing teams since being held scoreless against Missouri by scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Withey fell one block shy of recording the first triple-double of his career.

MEN'S BASKET
Similar mistakes, different outcomes
MAX ROTHMAN

He almost did it again.
In the final minutes on Feb. 4 at Missouri, he missed two free throws and was called for a charging foul.
The difference? The Jayhawks won this time, edging the Wildcats 59-53 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.
"It crossed my mind a few times," Taylor said of the similarities between the rivalry games. "I was trying not to think about it."
Junior center Jeff Withey starred for the third consecutive game, falling just one block shy of a triple-double. But when Withey cooled off and Kansas State took a 37-36 lead with 11:49 left, Taylor hit two consecutive three-point shots and keyed an 11-0 run.
"That gave us a little bit of a cushion," Self said. "Ty made some great plays. He made some plays that weren't so great, but certainly those were huge at that moment," Self said of the three-point shots.
Even with a fairly comfortable lead and Self's guidance to do nothing but waste away the rest of the shot clock, Taylor found a way to create points. Usually this portion of the game, a time to secure, not

attack, stalls even the best guards in the nation. When the Jayhawks led 51-44 with only three and a half minutes left, Taylor dribbed the shot clock down to its final few seconds, shook his defender with a cross-over, drove to the hoop, nearly tripped himself, but lobbed a pass to an airborne Withey who laid it in for two points.
"Tyshawn has been unbelievable in conference play. Unbelievable," Self said, "Arguably as good a player in our league."
Just as he did at Missouri, when he nearly carried the Jayhawks to a victory, then unraveled in the closing minutes, he struggled at the end of Monday night's Sunflower Showdown. But Taylor won this
time and he breathed easy after the game knowing that fact.
"They had their time to talk to me when I was warming up and during the game," Taylor said. "So I figured that I had my time to talk to them a little bit after the game."

Jayhawks have a strong finish in Louisiana
SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
The Jayhawk softball team finished 3-2 at the Southeastern Lion Classic last weekend. The team lost to Tennessee Martin and Troy in consecutive games on Friday, but
won the last three Saturday and Sunday.
The Jayhawks opened the weekend with a 6-4 loss against Tennessee-Martin after a rain delay.
Ingle
"We were
going to Louisiana thinking the weather was going to be nice" said
senior Marissa Ingle. "The other teams said we brought down the bad weather."
Ingle was the last to bat in the five-run rally, which ended in a 8-7 loss against Troy Friday night. The Jayhawks were on the board first thanks to senior Liz Kocon's ground rule double to center field with two on base in the bottom of the first. However, the Trojans pulled away with a 8-2 lead in the top of the sixth. A double play by Kansas' middle infield, Mariah Montgomery and Ashley Spencer, held Troy in the top of the seventh and set up the team for a potential comeback. The Jayhawks ended the day with two losses.
"We went into Saturday not worrying about Friday, working on getting wins for the rest of the
weekend, which is what we did."
High winds and 40-degree temperatures controlled the day two opener. After scoring seven in the forth, the five-run innning rule was applied against the tournament's host, Southeastern Louisiana. With 10 runs in the last three innings, Kansas won their first game of 2012 11-0. Freshman Alicia Pille struck out eight times and walked three in her first career victory. Kocon went 2-for-2 and had three RBIs in three straight games, surpassing former Jayhawk Shannon Stanwix for third all-time career RBIs at KU with 108. After the weekend she needs eight more to become the all-time leader.
"It would be an honor," Kocon said. "But to me it's about scoring runs and winning games and
getting that much closer to regionals."
Junior transfer Morgan Druhan lead the Jayhawks to a 5-3 win over Jackson State to finish day two of the tournament. Druhan pitched a complete game of 129 pitches. She

Tevin Shaw signs on to Javhawks' 2012 roster
Charlie Weis and the Kansas football coaching staff aren't done yet. They added New Jersey running back Tevin Shaw to their 2012 recruiting class.
Hayes had two layups, stealing an outlet pass in between, to spark a string of eight straight points that restored Connecticut's lead to 45-30 after Oklahoma had pulled within striking distance down the stretch in the first half.
Shaw signed with the Jayhaws over offers from Maryland, Iowa and Penn State. With Shaw, Kansas has signed 18 players in the February recruiting period, bringing Weis' first class to 21 athletes including three transfers.
The 5'11 190-pound running back led Piscataway High School to a second straight state championship this season, running for 1,596 yards and 24 touchdowns. In his championship game, Shaw ran for 304 yards and scored three touchdowns, including the game winner.
Shaw runs his 40-yard dash in 4.42, according to rivals.com, and is a multi-purpose player and athlete, as he had 90 tackles and seven interceptions playing in the secondary on defense.
As a junior, Shaw placed second in the New Jersey State Wrestling Championship. His senior wrestling season is currently underway, and Shaw is off to an impressive 25-0 start.
After taking a visit to Kansas the weekend of Feb. 10, Shaw committed to the Jayhawks and became their second running back in the 2012 recruiting class.

Huskies winning streak continues in Oklahoma
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The Huskies came in allowing opponents to shoot only 29.6 percent and average 44.4 points.
NORMAN, Okla. — Tiffany Hayes scored 23 points, Bria Hartley added 20 and No. 2 Connecticut beat Oklahoma 73-55 on Monday night for its 12th straight victory.
The Huskies (24-2) never trailed on their way to moving to 10-0 all-time in the series, which is becoming an annual tradition around Valentine's Day.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Stefanie Dolson contributed 10 points apiece, and Connecticut built a commanding lead in the first 7 minutes before withstanding a series of rallies by Oklahoma (16-8).
Whitney Hand scored 18 points while playing 40 minutes but she was the only one of the Sooners who could score with regularity against the nation's top defense.
Aaryn Ellenberg, once the Sooners' most dangerous scorer, continued a prolonged slump by missing eight of her first nine shots. She has shot 16 for 75 (21 percent) over the last seven games — a stretch that has included two games against top-ranked Baylor and one against an even more stingy defense.
Oklahoma cut an early 17-point deficit to five before halftime but was never closer than seven points in the second half.
Syracuse continues on journey to Big East title

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim preferred to look on the bright side despite all his team's problems.
Senior leaders Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph struggled. The Orange missed shot after shot.
Only C.J. Fair had an answer against with Louisville, which was poised for an upset.
"Our defense was getting crucial stops when we needed them," Fair said. "And, defense wins games."
Championships, too.
Fair scored 13 points and No. 2 Syracuse scored the final six points of the game to beat the 19th-ranked Cardinals 52-51 on Monday night, snapping a seven-game losing streak against Louisville in a game that reminded Boeheim of the NCAA tournament.
"You're going to get in games like this in the tournament. I don't care who you are. You've got to be ready to be able to make those plays at the end of games." Boeheim said. "If they make a play, hit one shot, the end, we lose. In the tournament, you go home and you're going to play teams like Louisville and teams just as good or better."

"You can either give the defenses credit or say it was a bad offensive game." Boehne said. "We're going to look on the bright side and say it was a real defensive struggle tonight."
"It it was a defensive battle and they came up with the plays at the end," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "I'm very, very disappointed that we lost the game."
Fab Melo scored 11 points and the best shooting team in the Big East overcame a 34.4 percent effort, including 1 of 15 from 3-point range, to win for the sixth straight time since losing at Notre Dame.
Jardine missed all eight of his shots and Joseph, Syracuse's leading scorer, struggled with foul trouble, while Cardinals forward Kyle Kircur went 1 for 8 from the field, including 1 for 6 from 3-point range.
"I don't put my head down because I know I'm reliable to make a tough basket at any given time," Jardine said. "And that's the same as the other two guards and that's what happened tonight."
The Orange came in shooting 48.1 this season, while the Cardinals' defensive field goal percentage was fourth-best in the nation at 37.2. Neither team could reach that mark against the other's zone looks.
Brandon Triche scored eight points, while Dion Waiters and Joseph added seven each for the Orange.
Triche hit a jumper — Syracuse's first field goal outside the paint in the second half and only second of the game — Melo hit two free throws and Fair added a layup to give Syracuse a 52-51 lead with 2:11 left.
Freshman Chane Behanan had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Cardinals, who had won six straight games.
It was a whiteout at the KFC Yum! Center with 22,738 fans wearing white and Pitino donning his cream-colored suit with a red tie, but it was far from a shootout with both sides struggling from the field.
"A game like this, going down to the last shot, it's a game that we're definitely going to use," Triche said.
Louisville guard Chris Smith finished with 10 points, while Gorgui Dieng had 10 rebounds and five turnovers, including a costly one late for the Cardinals, who shot 34.7 percent from the field and went 12 of 21 from the free-throw line.
BENNANI 24 SHACUSE 51
Dieng committed a turnover instead of trying a 15-foot jumper, throwing it away and Smith missed a reverse layup with 57 seconds left.

"Plays like Gorgui not shooting that shot, that bothers me because we work on that every single day for 45 minutes. I don't care if our guys miss shots," Pitino said. "When they're open, they've got to shoot the ball. That kind of thing irks the hell out of me."
Waiters missed a layup with 30 seconds left, giving Louisville a chance at the last shot, but Dieng couldn't handle a pass from Peyton Siva in the paint and Waiters stole it after it bounced off Triche.
Waiters missed a free throw after being fouled and Louisville had 1.1 seconds left and the length of the court to go, but freshman Angel Nunez couldn't handle a pass from Behanan as time expired.
"I just made the wrong decision," Siva said. "I didn't see Kyle open in the corner. I won't make that mistake again."

7:31 to play before Behanan sparked a 15-2 run.
On one sequence, he grabbed an offensive rebound for an easy dunk off Kuric's missed 3-point attempt, stole a pass into the low post from Fair and fed Dieng for an assist on a three-point play that made it 46-all.
Joseph, who picked up his fourth foul early in the second half, re-entered the game and missed a 3-point attempt. Smith

hit one beyond the arc in the right corner for Louisville, and Behanan's putback of another miss by Smith gave Louisville a 51-46 lead with 3:39 left.
Those would be Louisville's final points.
"We know we can only beat ourselves," Jardine said. "We've got to continue to play Syracuse basketball and try and gut out wins."

Jason Terry, Vince Carter and Brendan Haywood all contributed 10 points for the Mavs, who've won 10 in a row at home against the Clippers and extended their overall winning streak to four games.
DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points, 11 in the final 6-plus minutes, Shawn Marion added 16, and the Dallas Mavericks held on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 96-92 on Monday night.
Caron Butler of the Clippers scored a season-high 23 points against his former team, and Blake Griffin added 20 points.
Chris Paul had 16 points and nine assists for the Clippers, but Griffin's problems from the foul line cost his team as he missed seven of nine free throws.
The Clippers, who completed a 4-2 road trip, haven't beaten the defending NBA champs in Dallas since April 19, 2006.
Griffin had a chance to get the Clippers closer, but missed five straight free throws until connecting with 2:15 to play to pull his
team within two points at 86-84.
Dallas took control with a 7-0 fourth-quarter run capped by Marion's layup with 4:48 remaining for an 86-83 edge.
Jason Kidd set up Terry for a layup with 2:02 left, and Nowitzki intercepted Griffin's pass with 1:47 showing, and drained two free throws to extend Dallas' edge to 90-84.
Griffin's three-point play with 1:24 remaining and Kenyon Martin's layup with 1 minute left narrowed the Mavericks' lead to 90-89.

Nowitzk drained a 19-footer from the right wing and, after Marion stole the ball from Martin, converted two free throws with 21.2 seconds left for a 94-89 advantage. Paul's 3-pointer with 17.8 seconds got the Clippers within two points, and Butler missed a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left.

Delonte West made two free throws with 2.9 seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Haywood worked inside for 10 of Dallas' first 22 points and the Mavs carried a 27-19 lead into the second quarter.
The Clippers ended a 10-game overall losing streak against the Mavs on Jan. 18 with a 91-89 win in Los Angeles, Chauncey Billups hit the winning 3-pointer with 1 second left. Billups is out for the season with a torn left Achilles' tendon sustained in a game on Feb. 6.
Paul sat out the season's first meeting with Dallas due to a strained left hamstring.
Notes: Butler was a member of the Mavericks' title-winning team last season but missed the final 53 games of the regular season plus the playoffs with a rupture right patellar tendon. Butler, signed by the Clippers in December as a free agent, made a spirited effort to get his knee healthy enough to contribute for Dallas in the playoffs and Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said before the game that Butler "was very close to being active for the finals. That's how hard he worked."
... Martin, who grew up in Dallas, played his fourth game for the Clippers since signing as a free agent on Feb 3. ... Before the game, Carlisle called Paul "the best playmaker in basketball."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What community college did Albert Pujols attend in 1999?
A: Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City, Mo.
MCCKC.edu
THE MORNING BREW Plenty of storylines for 2012 MLB season
ove over football. Your time is up.
M
While hockey and basketball are in the middle of another captivating season, baseball is gearing up to kick off its 2012 campaign.
Throughout the rest of February, teams will report to their spring training facilities in Florida or Arizona to prepare for the season.
Even though spring training games won't start for another month and the season won't begin until April, it's never too early to discuss the big storylines heading into the year.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
In a move that sent shockwaves around the sporting landscape, future hall of famer Albert Pujols decided to leave the St. Louis Cardinals and join the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The two-time World Series champion and nine-time all-star had been a fixture in the St. Louis lineup for 11 years and was recognized as one of the most dominant players during the 2000s.
THE ALBERT PUJOLS EFFECT
Coming off an incredible run to the World Series last season, the Cardinals must move on without Pujols. In his 11 seasons with the Cardinals, Pujols averaged 40 home runs and 121 RBIs. That reliable production is gone now.
Cardinals fans can only hope 2011 World Series MVP David Freese can pick up where he left off in October and continue his success in 2012.
Carlos Beltran was signed during the offseason to bolster the offense. With the addition of Beltran to complement Freese, Lance Berkman and Matt Holliday, the Cardinals offense won't significantly drop off even though Pujols will be sorely missed.
Meanwhile, on paper, the Angels are a prohibitive favorite to advance to the World Series, but the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers might have something to say otherwise. Not only will Pujols strengthen the Angels' offense tremendously, but C.J. Wilson will strengthen a pitching staff that had the best ERA in the American League. The pitching staff simply did not get enough run support last season. On average, the Angels scored
4 runs-per-game.
A NEW ERA IN MARLINS BASEBAL
Even when they won their two World Series championships, there has never been as much excitement and anticipation surrounding the Marlins.
The Marlins made drastic, aggressive changes this offseason to galvanize their long-lost fans and persuade them to attend games at their new state-of-the-art ballpark. Some major changes the Marlins made include their name — The Florida Marlins are now known as the Miami Marlins — their logo and their roster.
KU
Unlike previous offseasons, the Marlins spent lots of money on free agents. Notable pickups include Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell, Carlos Zambrano and their new manager Ozzie Guillen. The Marlins also made an aggressive push to sign Albert Puilos, but failed to do so.
The National League East is ruled by the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, but the new vibe surrounding the Marlins has forced the teams in the division and the rest of the National League to be aware of the fish.
BREWERS' TUMULTUOUS OFFSEASON
last season winning their division for the first time in 29 years and advancing to the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers took a big step backwards this offseason.
Three-time all-star slugger Prince Fielder left the Brewers to sign with the Detroit Tigers, and 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun reportedly failed a drug test that could have him suspended for the first 50 games of the season.
For a team that took a big step forward
Last season, Fielder and Braun accounted for 38 percent of the Brewers' home runs, 33 percent of their RBIs and 25 percent of their hits.
The Brewers' pitching staff is still among the best in baseball, but their lineup took a huge hit. They will count on Aramis Ramirez, Nyger Morgan, Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart throughout the season, especially during Braun's suspension. However, the Brewers' offense doesn't pose a threat like it did when Fielder and Braun were in the lineup. This season has the potential to be a long season for the Brewers after coming off one of their most successful seasons.

COMMENTARY
What happens then if Robinson, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor or other Jayhawk starters hit early foul trouble? Someone from the bench will be forced to step up or else spring football will arrive early to campus.
- Edited by Christine Curtin
On a team with more depth, the coach would send out a sparkplug player to try to re-energize the players. Bill Self doesn't have that luxury.
Entry passes fell into the awaiting arms of Kansas State defenders and the costly turnovers started adding up.

Bench may hurt Jayhawks
Early in the second half, the Jayhawk starters wore their fatigue on their sleeves. After the starters played a combined 85 of 100 possible minutes in the first half, the Wildcats quickly erased a ten-point halftime deficit and even took a brief 37-36 lead.
This issue shoots to the surface when the Big 12 schedule calls for the Jayhawks to play multiple games in a short time span, as was the case last night when the Jayhawks played their third game in six days.
And when the NCAA tournament rolls around, the Jayhawks will face increasingly tougher teams with only two days of rest between every other game.

Jayhawks kick off season with three-game win
PAGE 8
A chilles tendon, chink in the armor, soft underbelly—no matter what you want to call it, the lack of contribution from the Kansas bench is the festering wound that could spoil the Jayhawks' season.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Both of the bench points came from free throws by senior forward Conner Teahan in the waning moments of the game.
But weakness is something to be feared, as it will be most vulnerable in post-season play. When the Big 12 tournament comes around, the Jayhawks will be forced to play three games on consecutive days.
The bench scored two points and contributed only 30 minutes to the Jayhawks' victory against the Wildcats.
For now, the Jayhawks get brief relief with four days to regain their legs before they take on Texas Tech this weekend.
The replay clearly showed Robinson restraining himself, but the question of "What if?" must linger in the Jayhawks' minds. What would happen if they were to lose either national player of the year candidate Robinson or junior center Jeff Withey?
Neither sophomore justin Wesley nor junior Kevin Young, the Jayhawks' reserve forwards who receive the most playing time, have shown that they can handle a long stretch in crucial minutes and contribute across the court.
The crowd, who didn't see the replay, believed Robinson deserved an additional technical foul, which would have sent Robinson to the showers before the final buzzer.
But the scariest moment for the Jayhawks came after forward Thomas Robinson was called for a charge with 4:09 left to play, which brought Kansas State fans in Bramlage Coliseum to their feet.
KANSAS 59. K-STATE 53
WINNING WITH WITHEY
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
An ever-zealous Bramlage Coliseum crowd and more Tyshawn Taylor highlight were no match for another episode of "The Jeff Withey Show" Monday night in Manhattan. The junior center had a dominant performance for the third consecutive game, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocked shots in the 59-53 Jayhawks victory.
The final score portrayed just the type of contest it was for the 40 minutes of play.
"It was definitely a physical game," Withey said. "I got hit in the face a couple times. I have a couple scratches. It's just one of those games. Whenever we play K-State we know it's going to be a battle."
The first half was a slugfest with the teams combining for 31 points in the first 15 minutes of action. Kansas took a 28-18 lead to the locker room, which tied the lowest first half total for the Jayhawks in Big 12 play. Withey had eight points and four rebounds at the break, which wasn't far from junior forward Thomas Robinson's five points and six rebounds.
It's how Withey played in the second half, however, that left fans wowed for the third straight game.
"My big man's been playing amazing," Taylor said after the game, patting Withey on the chest as they both chuckled. "If he keeps that up, I think we're going to be tough to beat."
Withey had 10 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in the second half while Kansas attempted to stifle a pair of Kansas State runs. The first Wildcat barrage tied the game at 36 points with just under 13
minutes to play. Junior guard Rodney McGruder's jump short nearly 12 minutes later cut the jayhawks' lead to four with 1:15 remaining.
Senior forward Jordan Henriquez had a chance to cut the lead to two soon after as he drove to the basket, but his attempt was sent away by Withey for his eighth block of the game.
Withey swatted away freshman guard Angel Rodriguez's shot on the very next possession, ending any hopes of a Kansas State comeback and leaving Withey one block shy of a triple-double.

"I'm going to get it sooner or later," Withey said.
All of this came on a night when senior forward Thomas Robinson wasn't quite himself. He missed a number of point-blank shots and seemed frustrated during many of his 33 minutes of action. Robinson finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.
"It's such a bonus for us because Thomas trusts him," coach Bill Self said of Withey. "Those two should get better playing with each other as he continues to produce."
"This was a big boy game."
Self said. "And he had 18, 11,
and nine on a night when
Thomas wasn't Thomas.
I thought he was just fabulous."
"For somebody that's kind of come out of left field, I don't know if I can remember anybody that's been as dominant," Self said. "To go from scoreless to now, how do you win without him?"
Withey has averaged 20.3 points in his last three games after going scoreless in the 74-71 defeat at Missouri on Feb. 4.

One day after Carolyn Davis left the court on a stretcher with a knee injury, it was clear that the junior forward was on the team's mind.
Some players tried to hold back tears at shootaround before they went to watch film.
The rest walked around with melancholy looks on their faces as they wondered how they could overcome their teammate's injury.
"Reality just set in today when I see she's not here at practice," freshman forward Chelsea Gardner said.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson consoles junior forward Carolyn Davis after she injured her knee in Sunday's game against Kansas State at Bramalea Coliseum. Kansas 'sost 43-47
Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson confirmed what many speculated in a press release on Monday. Davis not only suffered a dislocated left knee, but also a torn ACL that will put the once potential All-American candidate on the sideline for the rest of the season.
The reality for the Jayhawks is they won't have Davis back for the rest of this year.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Davis returned to Lawrence last night and is in the hospital for further evaluation. The coaches and teammates met with Davis and said she seemed to be in good spirits.
In fact, Davis was on her phone for most of Monday, sending encouraging words to teammates and even a thumbs-up and smiley face to Henrickson.
Henrickson already knew about her talented post player.
Davis' ability to stay strong despite her injury confirmed what
The layhawks look to regroup for Wednesday's game at Iowa State, and they can start with senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who stepped up big in Davis' absence with 12 points and 17 rebounds against Kansas State on Sunday.
"It speaks about her. It's who she is," Henrickson said. It speaks to the relationships when you have a family like we do and as close as we all are. That's what we all try to do."
"I feel like I'm going to have a lot more pressure," Sutherland said. "The freshmen need to step up. The team just needs to come together and rearrange our game."
The freshman that will see the most minutes will be Gardner, who will move into the starting rotation's five-spot.
Gardner averages about seven minutes per game and 2.7 points, and she will now be stretched out and forced to defend some the best players in the Big 12.
"I just feel like I need to practice harder, come out and just work hard in the games," Gardner said.
Gardner showed promise against Kansas State with 23 minutes of play and seven points. She also took the final shot of the game after minor guard Angel Goodrich disliked her the ball on the low block.
Although Gardner did not convert, the coaching staff felt like it was a sign she might be ready for
a bigger role.
"I know her teammates have confidence in her," Henrickson said. "Angel wouldn't have thrown that in at the end if she wouldn't of had confidence in her."
Regardless of Gardner's impact, Kansas will have to rely on other players in order to achieve its postseason aspirations.
Henrickson said that junior guard Monica Engelman will have to be aggressive both on the offensive end and on the glass. She also said freshman guard Natalie Knight will need to be more aggressive when she has open looks.
r
Contributions from Engelman, Knight and other bench players will be important, but it will be up
to Goodrich and Sutherland to see how far this team can go with Davis on the sideline.
"I don't think the answer in this league is to go small, but maybe tweak some things and add some things to get Aishah and Angel more touches," Henrickson said.

Apogee increased bandwidth last semester, but some say it wasn't enough

Stephanie Crandon's Internet connection in her scholarship hall was so slow she decided to pay for her own Internet provider.
Crandon, a sophomore from Lawrence, said she originally contracted with Apogee to provide Internet services for her room in Dennis E. Rieger Hall last semester, but by October she was disappointed in Apogee's speed.
"It was so slow it would just time out sometimes," Crandon said.
of KU IT, Department of Student Housing and student leaders from residence halls.
Crandon said she decided to pay for a second Internet provider, Lawrence Freenet, about four months ago and has been paying for both services since.
Crandon said slow Internet is common in her hall.
"Not a week goes by you don't hear about it," she said.
Fall 2012/Spring 2012 Proposed Packages:
Crandon said that while she thinks she's the only one paying for a second service provider, she has heard of residents using cell phones as wireless hotspots.

"Under this proposal, the cost for that speed is actually going down," he said.
Next year, the proposed price and speed for the Semester Basic Package will increase from 1 Mbps for $98 to 10 Mbps for $128. Nat Nealeigh, director of marketing and communications for Apogee, said Apogee's voluntary increase in speeds to 8 Mbps at no additional charge aren't relevant in determining next year's proposed rates and speeds. Nealeigh said that last semester, more than 60 percent of Apogee's campus customers upgraded to 10 Mbps or higher.
Basic 10 Mbps $128
Choice 20 Mbps $148
Choice Plus 30 Mbps $168
Slow Internet connections plagued residence halls after the University switched from in-house KU IT ResNet to Apogee, an Austin, Texas, based firm. The company increased bandwidth last semester after receiving a large number of complaints about slow connections. On Feb. 2, Apogee CEO Charles Brady met with members
Despite Crandon's experience, Director of Student Housing, Diana Robertson said that after speeds were increased last semester, the department has received good feedback from students. She said she didn't blame Apogee for the slow connections because the University set the speeds.
Fall 2011 contracted:
Basic - 8 Mbps
Choice - 15 Mbps
Choice Plus - 20 Mbps

"We didn't know what that speed needed to be set at," Robertson said.
Robert Fitzpatrick, a junior from Overland Park, attended the Apogee meeting as a representative of McCollum Hall and said the CEO's presentation asked a lot of questions. He said that while there were issues last semester, connections have improved.
"This semester has been really good," Fitzpatrick said.
Robertson said part of the reason scholarship halls might experience areas with slower connections is because Apogeo has not yet done a "dense deploy" of wireless access points in the scholarship halls yet.
Crandon said she was not really
Though attempts to obtain an exact figure were unsuccessful, Nealeigh said Apogee has invested "millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements" and will continue to invest in the infrastructure project.
satisfied with Apogee support. She said she had sent several emails over the course of the semester expressing her concern over her slow connection but received few improvements. Crandon said she called the service line twice and was told to plug into hardline connection.
"That's inconvenient for my roommate because the jack is located next to her bed," she said.
During one call, Apogee support had Crandon test her connection at least eight times. She said her connection tested significantly slower than it should have been.
"They said it was probably my computer running spyware," Crandon said.
She said that didn't make sense because her computer runs fine on the Freenet connection.
Crandon said that about a week ago, an Apogee agent came to her hall to fix her connection and the connection of another resident. She said when he left, he dropped off a bag of Ethernet cables for residents
to use when their wireless is too slow.
"I would rather have a refund from Apogee and continue the other service," she said.
Ann Ermey, program director of Service Management and Delivery at KU IT, said that students should try a wired connection first, but if students experience extremely slow speeds, they should contact Apogee support on their 24-hour hotline, via email or by text message.
"With the recent upgrades to the Apogee Network, as well as the expanded wireless service, speeds should be acceptable," E#mey wrote in an email.
Speeds commonly drop when users attempt to stream videos off the Internet. Crandon said a lot of the connection issues in her hall happen when students try to stream Netflix or Hulu videos.
"It's frustrating not to be able to use the services you pay for," she said.

A stoplight sporting brand-new LED bulbs directs downtown Lawrence traffic on Massachusetts Street Monday night. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, Lawrence officials swapped out more than 3,000 traditional incandescent bulbs with the more efficient LEDs, saving the city an estimated $100,000 or more in electricity costs.

TRAFFIC SAFETY
The universities of Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Missouri have more in common than being in the Big 12 and losing basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse. Their towns gained the lead on Lawrence in switching over to LED traffic lights.
rschlichting@kansan.com
Lawrence completed the transition to LED lights on Feb. 9.
Waco, Texas, home of Baylor, has been using LED traffic lights for almost a decade. Stillwater, Okla., home of Oklahoma State, has had them for almost as long as Waco. In the past three years, Columbia, Mo., and Ames, Iowa, completed the switch.
"We took an incremental approach," Uddin said. "We didn't hire a contractor. We did that with our in-house staff and as time allowed or as our funds were available."
But Lawrence did lead the state in changing to more efficient lights. Lawrence was the first city in Kansas to start replacing its incandescent traffic lights with LED bulbs, but it took a more gradual approach than some other towns. The city started the project in the mid-1990s and finished second to Olathe, according to Shoeb Uddin, city engineer.
Each regular light costs about $150, and arrow lights cost about $250, according to Lawrence traffic supervisor James Risner.
"We have an average of 86 intersections, and it averages about 40 to 50 LEDs that have to be replaced per intersection. So it gets to be quite expensive," Risner said. "That's why we've scattered it out over the years."

Waco's traffic lights have been LEDs for eight years, according to Norman Hogue, Waco's program administrator of traffic services. The 194 LED lights use less energy, running on 2 to 7 watts as opposed to the old 125-watt lights.

Traditional incandescent traffic lights cost approximately $1,821.19 per year to operate
Each LED saves approximately 120 watts of electricity per hour
LED traffic signals cost $202.37 per year to operate
Columbia replaced its incandescent bulbs with LED lights between 2006 and 2008. The city has saved 80 percent in electricity bills from the change, according to Chris Valleroy, a city engineering aide.
Ames started its replacement project in 2005 and finished in 2011. The city still has one major intersection that is not LED-lit, but Damion Pregitzer, traffic engineer for Ames, said the city will change those lights, too.
According to the Columbia Daily Tribune, the transition began after a fatal car accident at an intersection. The Columbia police reported that the traffic light may have burned out.
The annual estimated cost savings for the LED signals is $137,599.70

["The LEDs] are more reliable," said Chris Vallierer, a city of Columbia engineering aide. "We've had less problems with the lights going out, which is obviously a safety benefit. Plus it's saving money."
Stillwater has used LEDs for at least the past five years, according to James Driskel, the city's traffic control supervisor. That includes all of its traffic lights, but not the pedestrian signals, Driskel said.

Karlyle robbed a student of marijuana April 29, 2009, in a parking lot near McCollum Hall. Prosecutors said Tuesday the victim planned on selling the drugs that were taken by Karlyle at gunpoint.
Karlyle entered a no-contest plea to the charge on Jan. 11.
Karlyle is serving a concurrent sentence of 18 months for a parole violation. Shawnee County court records show he also faces charges there for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery. He is scheduled to enter a plea in those cases March 1.
Huff reminded Karlyle that he will have to register as a violent offender for 15 years after his prison time is served.
Huff waived court costs because of the amount of time Karlyle will be in prison, and he was not ordered to pay restitution in the case.
Karlyle did not speak, but his attorney, Matthew Works, spoke on his behalf. "It was a bad situation in which poor judgment was illustrated," Works said. "He will not be involved with these kinds of things in the future."

Obama administration might cut nuclear force
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
Even the most modest option now under consideration would be an historic and politically bold disarmament step in a presidential election year, although the plan is in line with President Barack Obama's 2009 pledge to pursue the elimination of nuclear weapons.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is weighing options for sharp new cuts to the U.S. nuclear force, including a reduction of up to 80 percent in the number of deployed weapons. The Associated Press has learned.
No final decision has been made, but the administration is considering at least three options for lower total numbers of deployed strategic nuclear weapons cutting to: 1,000 to 1,100; 700 to 800, and 300 to 400, according to a former government official and a congressional staffer. Both spoke on condition of anonymity in order to reveal internal administration deliberations.
A level of 300 deployed strategic nuclear weapons would take the U.S. back to levels not seen since 1950 when the nation was ramping up production in an arms race with the Soviet Union. The U.S. numbers peaked at above 12,000 in the late 1980s
The potential cuts would be from a current treaty limit of 1,550 deployed strategic warheads.
A spokesman for the White House's National Security Council, Tommy VIetor, said Tuesday that the options developed by the Pentagon have not yet been presented to Obama.
The U.S. could make further weapons reductions on its own but is seen as more likely to propose a new round of arms negotiations with Russia, in which cuts in deployed weapons would be one element in a possible new treaty between the former Cold War adversaries.
and first dropped below 5,000 in 2003.
Even small proposed cuts are likely to draw heavy criticism from Republicans who have argued that a smaller nuclear force would weaken the U.S. at a time when Russia, China and others are strengthening their nuclear capabilities. They also argue that shrinking the American arsenal would undermine the credibility of the nuclear "umbrella" that the United States provides for allies such as Japan, South Korea and Turkey, who might otherwise build their own nuclear forces.
The administration last year began considering a range of possible future reductions below the levels agreed in the New START treaty with Russia that took effect one year ago. Options are expected to be presented to Obama soon. The force levels he settles on will form the basis of a new strategic nuclear war plan to be produced by the Pentagon.

AFRICA
LAGOS, Nigeria — The waters off West Africa's coast are now a constant danger for those shipping goods and crude oil in the region, analysts said Tuesday, a day after pirates killed two sailors near Nigeria's coast.
Pirates kill two sailors off Lagos coast
Despite pledges by nations to patrol the waters of the Gulf of Guinea, pirates killed a captain and a chief engineer onboard a heavy cargo ship Monday morning about 126 miles from the coast of Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital.
While shootings and stabbings have happened before in the region, Monday's assault was one of the deadliest attacks in waters, now considered to be as dangerous as
those near Somalia.
"It's quite uncommon that you have people killed this way," said Thomas Horn Hansen, an analyst with Risk Intelligence based in London. "It might be a matter of luck that hasn't happened before."
Authorities released new details Tuesday about the attack. Commodore Kabir Aliyu, a Nigerian naval spokesman, identified the attacked ship as the Fourseas SW, a bulk cargo ship designed to carry heavy loads like sand.
The nationalities of those killed in the attack could not immediately be determined Tuesday. Calls to Shih Wei went unanswered Tuesday.

Perez said he will try to win regional support for drug legalization at an upcoming summit of Central American leaders next month. He got his first public support on Monday at a security meeting with El Salvador President Mauricio Funes, who said he too is willing to consider legalization.
But after returning to El Salvador, Funes said he personally doesn't support legalization because it would

"create a moral problem," though he supports Perez's right to bring up the issue for consideration.
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala U.S. inability to cut illegal drug consumption leaves Guatemala with no option but to consider legalizing the use and transport of drugs. President Otto Perez Molina said Monday, a remarkable turnaround for an ex-general elected on a platform of crushing organized crime with an iron fist.
"Iimagine what it would mean," Funes said. "Producing drugs would no longer be a crime, trafficking drugs would no longer be a crime and consuming drugs would no longer be a crime, so we would be converting the region in a paradise for drug consumption."
Perez's proposal comes as drug cartels have taken over large swathes of Guatemala and other Central American countries, fueling some of the highest murder rates in the world. A May 2011 report by the U.S. Congressional Research Service said that 95 percent of all cocaine entering the United States flows through Mexico, with 60 percent first traveling through Central America.
Ministers convicted of corruption
EUROPE
BUCHAREST, Romania Two former Romanian agriculture ministers were convicted on Tuesday of corruption and sentenced to three years in prison.
The two cases are one reason that Transparency International, a non-governmental organization based in Berlin, has ranked Romania as one of the most corrupt countries in the European Union.
On Tuesday, a court in Bucharest ruled that former agriculture ministers Decebal Traian Remes and loan Muresan took bribes and engaged in influence-pedding.
Remes resigned his Cabinet post in 2007 after prosecutors accused him of taking a bribe of $21,000 (euro15,800) and the promise of homemade sausages and plum brandy from Muresan, a former agriculture minister who allegedly
was acting on behalf of businessman Gheorghe Ciorba.
Prosecutors said the payment was meant to secure favor for Ciorba's company at a public auction. However, Ciorba reported the bribe to authorities before the auction took place, leading to the prosecution of the two ministers. Given his role in the case, Ciorba was given an 18-month suspended prison sentence.
The January conviction of Nastase was the first time a former Romanian premier has been sentenced to prison since communism ended in the country in 1989. He has said he will appeal.
Romania is under pressure from the EU, which it joined in 2007, to crack down on widespread corruption.
Israel suspects Iran in bombings
ASIA
BANGKOK, Thailand — An Iranian man fleeing wounded from an explosion at a rented Bangkok house lobbed a grenade at police that rebounced and blew off one of his legs Tuesday in a series of blasts Israel said were an attempted terrorist attack by Iran.
The blasts came a day after an Israeli diplomatic car was bombed in India. Tehran denied responsibility for that attack and a failed car bombing in Georgia.
Thai security forces found more explosives in the house where the Iranian man was staying with two compatriots in Bangkok, but the possible targets were not immediately known. Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat said.
Monday's attacks appeared to mirror the recent "sticky bomb" killings of tranian nuclear scientists that Tehran has blamed on Israel.
"We know who carried out the terror attacks, we know who sent them, and Israel will settle the score with them," Public Security Minister Yitzhak Haronovitch told Israeli Radio.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the Bangkok violence "proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terror."
Israeli police raised their state of alert throughout the country, and officials predicted the attacks were the first in a wave of assaults on Israeli targets worldwide by Iran and its Lebanese proxy, Hebbolah.
VALENTINE'S DAY
Students spend less nation more on V-Day
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
From condoms to jewelry to dinner, Americans spent $17.6 billion on Valentine's Day this year, which is the most-ever to date, according to the National Retail Federation.
However, Jennifer Holmes, store manager for Rod's Cards and Gifts, 2329 Iowa St., said students spent less money than usual on chocolates this year.
Although the National Retail Federation reports consumers spent an average of $74.12 on their better halves Tuesday, Josh Harper, a graduate student from Ashville, N.C., says $25 to $50 is a more reasonable range.
"It's unnecessary, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Harper said.
Because he and his girlfriend of six years are busy during the week, he plans to take her out for dinner this weekend.
Still, Holmes said her store always sees a last-minute rush for gift purchases, especially on the evening of the actual day.
"Valentine's Day is definitely a procrastinator's holiday," Holmes said.
The lower turnout this year means more leftover chocolate, which starts at half-price today. Any extra cards are packed up and re-sold next year. In her 10 years at Rod's, Holmes said the highest Valentine's Day merchandise sales were five or six years ago.
On a national scale, almost 20 percent of costumers purchased jewelry this year, which totaled $4.1 billion. Shoppers spent a projected $3.5 billion on a night out, $1.8 billion on flowers and $1.5 billion on candy, according to the National Retail Federation.
More than 7.5 million condoms were used during the 24 hour period, at a rate of 87 condoms per second. LifeStyles Condoms projected in a study. An additional 2.5 million condoms were used between midnight and 8 a.m. this morning, and the greatest percentage was used between 2 and 6 a.m.
While Valentine's Day is only second to Christmas in terms of merchandising, any economic boost is uncertain.
"The long-term economic impact for any temporary increase in spending is debatable," said Ted Juhl, associate professor of economics at the University.
Regardless of how much money an individual has, Harper does not think anyone should be obliged to spend a lot for a holiday.
"I think Valentine's Day should be less about spending and more about taking time to share an experience," he said.

But the publicly funded, $42 million Mob Museum represents a new height in Sin City's lawlessness devotion. Even the local FBI agents are in on it.
LAS VEGAS — On the 83rd anniversary of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Sin City is honoring one of its earliest relationships with the grand opening of a museum dedicated to the mobsters that made this desert town. There are tommy guns, money stacks and a bullet-riddled brick wall from the 1929 massacre that saw Al Capone seize control of the Chicago mob.
"We wanted to make sure the truth came out," said Ellen Knowlton, a former special agent in Las Vegas brought on to legitimize the downtown attraction.
The museum is housed in a former Depression-era federal courthouse where the seventh of 14 U.S.
Senate hearings on organized crime was held in the early 1950s. The trials watched by 30 million people introduced the mob to most Americans.
"It's a risky bet," said Andy Matthews, president of the conservative Nevada Policy Research Institute, which plans to protest the grand opening ceremony Tuesday.
But critics argue the government-backed attraction is a waste of tax dollars at a time when Nevada tops the nation in foreclosures and unemployment.
Casino workers and longtime visitors alike are known to wax nostalgic about the days when mob bosses kept drink prices low and streets violence-free. Their casinos became celebrity playgrounds and architectural icons. The Stardust, the El Cortez, the Tropicana, the Dunes Hotel, the Desert Inn, the Flamingo and the Fremont hotel were all backed by the mob at one point. Elvis and Priscilla Priestley tied the knot at the mob-controlled Aladdin resort and Wayne Newton later purchased

it.
More recently, Las Vegans thrice made former mob attorney Oscar Goodman their mayor. And when he was term-limited from running again last year, they gave the job to his wife.
The mob, the story goes, helped build out the remote highway that would eventually become the Las Vegas Strip. Gangsters took over resorts built by front men, skimmed the profits and built nightclubs, country clubs, housing tracts and shopping centers.
Increased law enforcement scrutiny and competition from business titans like Howard Hughes saw Las Vegas turn corporate in the late 1960s. Then the celebrity chefs and Cirque du Soleil dancers moved in. These days, Las Vegas feels more like a raunchy version of Disney World than a mob hangout.
"We felt nostalgic the moment the old days ended," said Michael Green, a history professor at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas working with the museum.
"Concern for religious freedom is not a theoretical concern," said Michael Schuttloff, lobbyist and executive director for the Catholic Conference. "An attack on anyone's religious liberty, any group's religious liberty, is an attack on
The bill would declare that state and local government policies shall not "substantially burden" people's right to exercise their religious beliefs without showing a compelling interest and imposing the burden in the least restrictive way possible. It also would declare that people have the right to sue state and local government agencies if they feel their religious freedoms have been abridged.
The bill specifically says there's a compelling interest in prohibiting discriminatory practices barred by state law and the Kansas and U.S. constitutions. But it doesn't mention local ordinances or agency policies that go further, such as an anti bias ordinance in Lawrence, home of the University of Kansas.
The House Judiciary Committee had a hearing on the proposed "Preservation of Religious Freedom Act" and is expected to vote on it by Monday. Chairman Lance Kinzer, an Olathe Republican, contends the measure sim- ply writes into state law language from past Kansas court decisions for determining when government policies place too much of a burden on practicing religion.
Proposal to defend religious freedom
But Tom Witt, the Equality Coalition's executive director and lobbyist, said backers of the bill are most concerned about gay rights advocates persuading cities to enact anti-bias ordinances to protect gays, lesbians and the transgendered. State law doesn't specifically ban discrimination in employment, housing or public accommodations based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

But gay rights advocates said the primary goal of the conservative and religious groups pushing the bill continues to be nullifying local ordinances or university policies that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
STATE LEGISTLATURE
TOPEKA, Kan. — Supporters of a proposal in Kansas that's described as an attempt to protect religious freedoms told state legislators Tuesday that President Barack Obama's ill-fated mandate for insurance coverage of birth control is a compelling example of why the measure is needed.

Monroe remains an entertainment topic
WHALE'S TALES
NEW YORK — The denizens of "Smash," NBC's new show about the making of a Broadway musical, aren't the first to attempt to make art and/or entertainment about Marilyn Monroe.
The closest Broadway has come to the "Smash" kind of big hagiographic musical was "Marilyn: An American Fable," which had only 34 previews and 17 performances in 1983. That same year, London had "Marilyn! The Musical."
And the New York City Opera also got a crack at Monroe in 1993 with "Marilyn," an opera with flashbacks about her final months with a politician presumably based on Robert F. Kennedy.

On Monday morning, Radar Online quoted an anonymous source at Sony saying the release date for the movie, in which Houston plays the mother of aspiring pop singers, is being moved up from Aug. 17 because of fan interest. The film "could be released as early as Memorial Day," Radar quoted the source as saying.
LOS ANGELES — The release of the movie "Sparkle," Whitney Houston's final recorded work, has been the subject of intense interest since the pop star died in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
Shortly afterward, a Sony spokesman said that the report was "not true" and that the film would be released on schedule on the third weekend of August. So for now, it appears to be sitting pat.
Houston's final movie could be released early
A remake of a 1976 Irene Cara movie, "Sparkle" is still technically in postproduction, though a rough cut has been completed. According to executive producer Howard Rosenman, who said
he saw that cut just last week, Houston shines in the film. "She is genius in the movie and it would have been a giant comeback for her," he told 24 Frames.
HOLLYWOOD
The original "Sparkle" told the story of the Williams sisters, a trio of 1950s-era Harlem singers whose stories were loosely inspired by the Supremes. The new version, directed by Salim Akil, is believed to follow a similar story line, with Jordin Sparks as the titular character

Fame surprises 'The Artist' director
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
ORLANDO, Fla. — The honors and accolades have piled up around the little French silent film "The Artist" all through this awards' season — Critic's Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and a Director's Guild of America honor for director writer-director Michel Hazanavicius.
"I didn't ask for all this," Hazanavicius says with a laugh. "I made a movie that had a very low budget, that I struggled to get made. Now, I don't know how to describe what happened or define what has happened, but we have 10 nominations for the Oscars. That is huge, especially for a French film — a French film about Old Hollywood. It's a dream, like a Hollywood fairytale, the kind of story that happens to other people. This time, I am living that fairytale."
Pretty heady stuff for a little-known French director with a thing for Old Hollywood — VERY Old Hollywood. "The Artist," an un-ironic homage to silent films and the Hollywood of the silent movie era, has been acclaimed since it first screened at Cannes last May, with rapturous reviews greeting its arrival in American theaters.
"It's like we found a magic
French film buffs know what the filmmaker is talking about when he expresses surprise at all this glory. He's immersed himself in old-style cinema before, mimicking the look and campy feel of '60s spy movies (and black-and-white World War II action pictures) with his "OSS 117" movies, featuring his dapper and ridiculously dashing "Artist" leading man, Jean Dujardin, as a spy with a touch of Errol Flynn about him. "The Artist" is the pinnacle of that period-look / period-parody style — without the parody.
formula. I wasn't looking for that. I just wanted to make a movie people would enjoy, and then all this happened."
"The OSS' movies were sarcastic," Hazanavicius says. "I wanted to make films that if you turned off the sound, you would think you were watching a film made back then ... After those films, I realized it would be possible to make the illusion more complete, to make a silent movie that looked as if it was made in the '20s."
He studied the editing and lighting styles of the great silent movie makers, from F.W. Murnau ("Sunrise") to Joseph Von Sternberg (1927's "Underworld") and Frank Borzage ("Seventh Heaven"). He took pains to avoid re-watching a couple of his
favorite movies — Billy Wilder's vamp about a faded silent film star, "Sunset Boulevard," and the musical about the upheaval that the arrival of talking movies heralded in Hollywood — "Singing in the Rain."
"I knew I was borrowing from them for my story, but I didn't want to borrow too much. They were my inspiration."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Being a serious silent film buff, he knew the medium's reputation for hammy, broad acting is unwarranted. "Look at 'The Crowd' or 'Sunrise.' The acting is very natural. So Jean (Dujardin) is not playing his character like Douglas Fairbanks. He is very natural, and the only difference is the way the audience pays attention to him, to all the actors in the movie. When you look at the faces, you pay more attention to the expressions."
Box office for the $15 million film hasn't been spectacular, even with 10 Oscar nominations. But as the odds-on favorite Oscar night, Hazanavicius isn't taking any of the attention for granted, talking up his next project (a planned remake of the Fred Zinneman post-World War II melodrama "The Search") even as he gapes, in wonder, at what unlikely Oscar favorites he and his latest film have become.
Michel Hazanavicius and Bernice Bejo arrive at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards show at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Jan. 29. Hazanavicius" "The Artist" has been a favorite throughout awards season.

Russians challenge current government
INTERNATIONAL
By Amanda Gress

before choosing Medvedev as his successor once his constitutional term limit expired.
The move jeopardized the already fragile image of Russian democracy; Putin served as president between 2000 and 2008
Russian winters have demolished a few threats to the government's power throughout history — literally freezing Napoleon's attempted 1812 invasion in its tracks as half a million troops succumbed to frostbite and hypothermia. More than a century later, Hitler's advancing army planned for a quick summer victory and packed accordingly. Fuel froze inside the tanks, warmer uniforms failed to materialize, and Russia beat back another would-be conqueror.
This scale of participation indicates major discontent over the upcoming presidential election. Last September, Pres. Dmitri Medvedev announced plans to effectively swap positions with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin instead of running for a second presidential term.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today, temperatures in Moscow feel like roughly negative 7 degrees, but Russian opposition seems prepared to defy the established political order despite the bitter cold and an equally frosty governmental response.
December's parliamentary elections provided one outlet for the Russian public to express dissatisfaction. United Russia officially garnered 49 percent of the vote, which the International Institute for Security Studies reported as a major setback compared to previous years. Independent monitors condemned fraud, as election officials filled out extra ballots for United Russia and bussed voters from district to district.
On Feb. 4, protesters in subzero temperatures demanded legitimate elections and denounced the ruling United Russia party. Reports of the rally's size vary — the government estimated 36,000 people in attendance, while opposition leaders claimed more than 120,000 took to the streets.
Because of increased civic activism, Russian citizens tracked the fraud they saw at their local station and posted comments and videos online. Allegations of corruption sparked immediate demonstrations demanding new elections and the resignation of Vladimir Churov, head of the Central Election Commission.

to remark that after spending two weeks in prison, he returned to an entirely transformed political landscape.
The continuing protests certainly pose a challenge to the government, which would struggle to stamp out such a large and well-publicized group. The postelection changes alone prompted opposition leader Alexey Navalny
Demonstrators carry a huge poster reading "Russia without Putin" during a massive protest against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's rule in Moscow on Feb. 4. Reports of corruption in December elections prompted the wave of protesting.
"Foreign Policy" magazine notes the diverse backgrounds present within the movement. The discontent united members of the Communist, Nationalist, and Center-left parties shown by Navalney's urge to "Vote, and vote for anyone but United Russia." Members of the middle class and youth, previously skeptical of civic engagement, also appear in the crowds.
We can learn from other protests against authoritarian rule. Russia may take a page out of Saudi Arabia's book and use massive oil revenues to implement social programs aimed at calming the population. (Although widespread corruption could doom the effort.)
Even given public anger, it's unlikely that Putin will manage to lose his March election. A best-case scenario for the opposition would be preventing Putin from winning outright in the first round of voting, forcing him and the second-place finisher into a second runoff election.
While the Cold War ended two decades ago, Russia's size, location, energy resources, nuclear arsenal, economic status and international clout should merit careful attention to its internal politics. Assuming Putin gains his third term, what can we expect to change?
Protestors probably will remain
staunchly committed to removing Putin and other key members of his regime from power, even if they attain some of their goals. The government appears to realize that crackdowns and violence could easily backfire and increase the opposition's size and dynamism. It seems likely Russia will continue offering reforms to try mollifying the public, moderating its stance and slowly mending its political system.
opposition, United States officials should resist the temptation to express support — United Russia could use such statements as proof of outside interference and strengthen its position by stoking nationalist fervor.
Unfortunately, Putin already displayed his paranoia of international meddling in domestic affairs. He's singled out Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, insisting she encourages protests to undermine Russian power. Though sympathetic to Russian
Fallout from December's election proves independent groups such as election monitors, human rights organizations and the media can still lend credibility to the movement. In a year marked by protest, we can hope this Russian winter marks the beginning of a new era for democracy in the country.

CULTURE
Learning to eat the Italian way
"Bologna, Italy? You mean like baloney? From the Oscar Meyer weiner song?"
When I first told people that I would be studying abroad in Bologna, this was the response I got. And while I can lament the improper pronunciation, their assumptions about baloney are actually correct. "Mortadella," as it's called in Italian, was invented in Bologna, along with tortellini and spaghetti bolognese. In fact, Bologna is so famous for its food that one of its nicknames is La Grassa or "the fat one."
Unfortunately, my first few weeks in Bologna consisted of baloney sandwiches instead of bolognese sauce. Not only did I not know how to cook, but I couldn't even figure out how to light my own stove to boil water. Thankfully, once I managed this incredibly complicated task, I was on my way to mastering the most important component of Italian cooking: pasta.
By Bernadette Myers bmw@kansan.com
While pasta is a main source of carbohydrates, the beauty of the plate comes from its incredible versatility. Today, I ate pasta with tomato sauce and eggplant. Yesterday, cream sauce with mushrooms. And the day before that, an egg-based sauce with zucchini.
On average, an Italian will consume around 60 pounds of pasta in a year. They accomplish this amazing feat by eating pasta at least once a day. I eat pasta for lunch and dinner and maybe a leftover snack.
Whilethis one-sided dietmay seem unnecessarily repetitive, I'm beginning to have a hard time remembering what exactly it was I ate when I was back in the States. Mrs. E's chicken fingers and cream cheese pizza from Pizza Shuttle? And yet we call Bologna La Grassa.
In fact, ever since I started cooking pasta, I've discovered the wonderful world of vegetables. I've never seen my roommates bring home frozen veggies. Daily trips to the store are common in order to buy fresh ingredients. They'll come home with anything from arugula to artichokes, all things I avoided like the plague at the grocery store simply because I couldn't cook them.
Now, vegetables have almost completely replaced the meat in my diet without me even realizing it. Americans consume about eight ounces of meat a day, roughly twice the global average. I eat meat once every two weeks here. It's been six months since I've eaten a steak.
Not only has my diet changed, but my eating patterns have also adapted to the Italian lifestyle. Breakfast consists of espresso, followed by another mid-morning espresso. Stores close around 2 p.m. for lunch, usually a two-hour ordeal, and then dinner is at 10 p.m. My roommates are dumbfounded when I tell them about eating dinner at 5 or 6 p.m. in the States. I like eating later. There is no 24-hour McDonald's or cafeteria underneath my building that's open until late, so midnight snacking isn't really an option.
In fact, eating dinner later is one of the habits I hope to bring back with me to the States. That, along with using fresh vegetables, eating smaller portions and taking time to eat my meals. Bologna may be called La Grassa, but Italianes sure do know how to eat healthy.

HUMOR
Jokes about stereotypes aren't really funny anymore
The jokes we tell stereotyping people oftentimes are inaccurate and aren't that humorous in the first place
In our society, being a part of a group is risky. It's risky being in a fraternity or sorority, being in the School of Engineering, even being in the Honors College. The list goes on and on.
The reason it's so risky to be in any of these groups is because once you cross that sacred threshold of acceptance, you are a target. As soon as you in some way associate yourself with any type of group, people will use it against you. It's a cruel world.
One of today's trendiest groups to make fun of is hipsters. We've all heard the jokes. From jokes about things that are too mainstream for hipsters to jokes about hipsters not showering often enough, they're a common occurrence. It was these jokes that got me thinking about stereotypes in the first place, because I'm often at the butt of these jokes.
Yes, that's right. People often call me a hipster. With all the negative connotations it carries, the word hipster can be a pretty

caustic insult. Admittedly, I prefer to wear slim-cut jeans, and I'm a sucker for flannel shirts and indie music, so I understand the correlation.
The problem is that the jokes people make about me aren't accurate. I shower daily, sometimes more than once, and I like Justin Timberlake just as much as indie folk music. I'm not a cookie-cutter hipster, but the jokes continue.
Am I asking for your sympathy? Actually, yeah, a little. But more than that, I'm asking for your understanding. Some people think that their stereotype jokes about frat bros, engineers and hipsters are hilarious and original. In fact, ex-

funny, because people laugh at them. I can't help but hope that we're smarter than that.
Members of fraternities are "bros." In fact, as soon as you pledge to a fraternity, you go out to buy pastel colored shorts, polo shirts and Sperry Top-Siders. Members of the School of Engineering are full of themselves. They think that their apparent job security gives them the right to insult other majors in The Free For All. Members of the Honors College are dweeps. They may have excellent IQs, but that won't do them much good since they're completely lacking in social skills.
As I've just shown, stereotypes are easy. Anyone can take an extreme example from a certain group and portrait it as the average. All fraternity members wear pastel colored shorts and pole shirts on a daily basis. Or do they?
Everyday, we see a few of them wearing stereotypical frat gear and let those few represent the rest. One or two engineering students post insults about liberal arts majors in the FFA and suddenly all engineers are conceived. As for students in the Honors College, well, those stereotypes are all true. Except for most of them.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking "Man, I really hope this
guy tells the joke about all the frat guys in the salmon-colored shorts again?" Probably not, because that joke wasn't very funny the first 100 times you heard it, and there are probably only 10 guys on the KU campus who own salmon-colored shorts.

Withey's improvements gain national notice
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
After Monday night's 59-53 victory at Kansas State, a reporter asked junior center Jeff Withey if he expected an outburst like this.
In his past three games, Withey has averaged 20.3 points, 12 rebounds and 6.3 blocks per game. He was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, then the Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week on Tuesday.
"Yeah he did, yeah he did," Taylor said. "I felt it."
After the reporter's question, Withey kept mum. Instead, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, answered it for him.
Withey smiled and gave in.
"My teammates around me, they lift me up all the time," he said. "In practice, they're always on me. They never let me get away with anything."
All of this comes after Withey was held scoreless in the 74-71 loss on Feb. 4 at Missouri. Coach Bill Self told Withey the Tigers "punked" him.
But Withey is playing his best basketball as a Jayhawk, proving it against a physical team like Kansas State.
"He played really good against Baylor and he played really good against Oklahoma State, but he was
a lot better tonight than he was in either one of those games," Self said on Monday. "This was a big-boy game. He had 18, 11 and nine on a night when Thomas wasn't Thomas. I thought he was just fabulous."
Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who averaged 18.1 points per game going into Monday's Sunflower Showdown, scored just 10 points. He also committed four fouls and five turnovers.
"They sent a lot of guys at [Robinson]," Taylor said. "They were rough with him down there, banging him a little bit."
As a National Player of the Year candidate and double-double machine — second in the nation, with 18 on the season - Robinson usually draws the opposition's best post defender.
This fact regularly frees Withey of defensive pressure, allowing him to score in the paint before a hand is there to hinder.
"Thomas is probably going to be the main focus for everybody on their scouting report," Taylor said.
Now, Kansas' challenge is to find a way to make both thrive together.

"He's a beast in the paint," Taylor said of Robinson. "So he's going to find ways to score."

BASKETBALL BIG 12 RANKINGS
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
1. KANSAS (21-5, 11-2)
Kansas survived its toughest remaining road test of the season Monday night in Manhattan and should take care of business against Texas Tech and Texas A&M in the next week. An eighth-consecutive Big 12 championship is theirs if the Jayhawks don't trip up in the final five games.
Last three games: victory at Baylor (68-54), victory vs. Oklahoma State (81-66), victory at Kansas State (59-53)
Next three games: Texas Tech, at Texas A&M, Missouri
2. MISSOURI (23-2, 10-2)
The Tigers still have a trip to Allen Fieldhouse awaiting them on Feb. 25. But until then, they deserve the top spot in this week's rankings. The rematch with Kansas could decide the NCAA tournament's No.1 seed for the St. Louis region.
Last three games: victory vs. Kansas (74-71), victory at Oklahoma (71-68), victory vs. Baylor (72-57)
Next three games: Oklahoma State, at Texas A&M, Kansas State
3. BAYLOR (22-4, 9-4)
The Bears had the talent to win the Big 12 this season, coach Scott Drew just couldn't put it all together. They were swept by Kansas and Missouri and are facing yet another season where first-class talent didn't quite live up to the hype.
Last three games: loss vs. Kansas (68-54), loss at Missouri (72- 57), victory vs. Iowa State (79-64)
Next three games: Kansas State, at Texas, Oklahoma
4. IOWA STATE (18-8, 8-5)
Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg has done a remarkable job this season in positioning his team for an NCAA tournament berth. And when they get to the NCAA tournament, 6-foot-8-inch, 270-pound forward/point guard Royce White will be a tough matchup for any opponent.
Last three games: loss at Oklahoma State (69-67), victory vs.
Texas A&M (69-46), loss at Baylor (79-64)
Next three games: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, at Kansas State
5. TEXAS (17-9, 7-6)
coach Rick Barnes and his group of freshmen haven't quite lived up to expectations. But how much can you expect out of a group of freshmen? He also has an upperclassman in J'Covan Brown, who's never seen a shot he didn't like, which can be good and bad.
Last three games: victory at Texas A&M (70-68), victory vs. Kansas State (75-64), victory at Oklahoma (69-58)

IT'S A LAWRENCE TRING
The Wildcats are one of the toughest teams in the conference and rebound the ball as well as anyone. They simply can't put the ball in the basket. Monday night against Kansas was a great opportunity for a marquee victory to put on their NCAA tournament resume, but much like the rest of their season, that opportunity slipped away.
7. OKLAHOMA STATE (12-13, 5-7)
The Cowboys are fighting for an NIT berth at this point in the season. Freshman guard Le Bryan Nash will be very good next season, but the team didn't have enough firepower to compete this year.
Last three games: loss vs. Baylor (64-60), victory vs. Iowa State (69-67), loss at Kansas (81-66)
Next three games: at Missouri, Texas, at Oklahoma
Next three games: at Missouri, Texas, at Oklahoma
8. TEXAS A&M (13-12, 4-9)
Next three games: Missouri, Kansas, at Oklahoma State
Last three games: loss vs. Texas (70-68), loss at Iowa State (69- 46). victory at Texas Tech (47-38)
It seems like a long time since the Aggies were picked to share the Big 12 championship this season with Kansas. Also losers of four straight, they haven't been able to score consistently or stay healthy this season.
9.0KLAHOMA (13-12, 3-10)
Last three games: loss vs. Missouri (71-68), loss at Texas Tech (65-47), loss vs. Texas (69-58)
Now that the Sooners have lost four straight games, any faint hopes of an NCAA tournament have been washed away. The nucleus of the team will return next season, and coach Lon Kruger is one of the best in the conference. They should compete near the top of the Big 12 in 2012-2013.
Next three games: at Iowa State, Oklahoma State, at Baylor
10.TEXAS TECH (8-17, 1-12)
Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie has a really young team this season, which could be good looking to the future. It could also mean trouble, because he certainly has his work cut out for him moving forward.
Last three games: loss at Kansas State (65-46), victory vs. Okla homa (65-47), loss vs. Texas A&M (47-38) Next three games: at Kansas, at Iowa State, Texas

ONE-OF-A-KIND PLAYER
Nation's newest favorite
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
When the NFL season ended with last week's Super Bowl, "Tebowmania," a term used for the love of Denver quarterback Tim Tebow, ended with it. Afterward, fans craved a replacement.
Insert the new spark plug of the New York Knicks; Jeremy Lin. The six-foot-three point guard continues to impress, leading the Knicks to five-straight wins and scoring 134 points in his first four career starts. Lin is the only player in the NBA who has at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his four starts. He also scored 32 points in the first 22 names.
The NBA advertisements keep saying "BIG things are coming," but the league didn't know it was talking about Lin.
Still, many rally behind Lin for a different reason. Lin, an Asian-American, is the first Americanborn player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent to play in the NBA. Yao Ming, retired center of the Houston Rockets from 2002 to 2011, is one of China's best-known athletes. Lin may not be a seven-foot-six center, but as an Asian-American, he is developing into the next big thing.
Even though Lin had a successful college campaign, he was not selected in the NBA draft. Lin and other undrafted players had to impress organizations in the 2010 NBA Summer League, and several have been successful in their NBA careers.
Being an undrafted player may not be rare, but a Harvard graduate playing in the NBA is a different story.
If Harvard held an alumni game for its former basketball players who went on to play in the NBA, it would be a game of two-on-two. The list only consists of four players: Lin, Edward Smith, Saul Mariaschin and Wyndol Gray. Lin is the first Harvard graduate to play in the NBA since 1954.
In his senior year, he averaged 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists and was again a selection for All-Ivy League First Team. He was one of 30 midseason candidates for the John R. Wooden Award and was one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award. Even Kansas' starting point guard Tyshawn Taylor isn't a finalist for the Cousy Award this year.

Ben Wallace, center of the Detroit Pistons, is one of two players who has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award four times. Bruce Bowen, small forward of the San Antonio Spurs from 2001 to 2009, was named to eight-consecutive NBA All-Defensive teams and won three titles.
Even if drafted, Lin would have been the first Ivy Leaguer selected since Jerome Allen of Penn in 1995. The last Ivy Leaguer to play in the NBA was Yale's Chris Dudley in 2003.
Lin graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a degree in economics, and he was also a tremendous basketball player. In his junior year, he was the only NCAA Division I men's basketball player who ranked in the top 10 in his conference for scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and four other categories. Lin also was a consensus selection for All-Ivy League First Team.
"Linsanity" may be the answer for fans craving a new hero, but should his emergence be a surprise? Yes and no.

Lin's not worth all the hype
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
But let's be realistic, as good as he has been, the media attention he is receiving is directly fueled by the need for New York to be relevant in all sports — especially in basketball.
First of all, I admit, Jeremy Lin has been very impressive since New York Knicks' head coach Mike D'antoni started giving him extended playing time. His numbers over those first five games, averaging 26.8 points and eight assists per game, are truly spectacular for someone who scored just 76 points last season.
If Lin were balling out in, say,
Portland, Ore., would the effect
be the same?
Before Lin came along, the Knicks hadn't been relevant since the Patrick Ewing era. Even after they acquired the superstar tandem of Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, the brooms of rabid Boston fans swept them out of the NBA playoffs in the first round last year.
And before Lin became a rock star this month, the Knickerbockers sat seven games under .500, with their fan base wondering if a quality basketball team would ever call Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous sporting venues in the world, home again.
Now, he's the hero of basketball, the next great American underdog story, the next, dare I say it, Tim Tebow hype machine
I hold nothing against either Tebow or Lin; they both seem like upstanding citizens (although Tiger Woods showed that athletes aren't always who they appear to be), but I can't stand the hype media outlets pump out about their play.
Lin has received major playing time in such a small number of games that it is impossible to know how he will play over the course of an NBA career.
And if you check out Lin's statistics, he really hasn't been as good as billed. He does most of his scoring in the paint and is not a great three-point shooter, making just three of 17 shots from beyond the arc during his five-game miracle stretch.
And while the New York media made a big deal about his 38-point outburst against the nationally feared and overrated Los Angeles Lakers, an impressive feat nonetheless, they forgot to mention that the Lakers are a terrible road team this season (5-10 record) and that the main responsible for guarding Lin was well past his prime, 37-year-old Derrick Fisher.
So if you want to buy into the hype, go ahead, I'm not going to stop you. It's a good story, and 15 years down the road, there will probably be a Disney movie made about Lin. But let's wait and see if he can continue to play this well throughout a season before campaigning to give him a spot in the NBA All-Star Game.

Jayhawks change defense for season opener
KU
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
Senior infielder Zac Elgie speaks to members of the media during the Baseball Media Day at Allen Fieldhouse, on Tuesday afternoon. Jake Marasco will take over first baseman from Elgie this season.
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team is just days from opening its 2012 campaign at Middle Tennessee State on Friday.
The Jayhawks are coming off a season in which they lost their final nine conference games and failed to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament. In head coach Ritch Price's 10-year career with Kansas, his teams have often thrived when outsiders' expectations were low.
"I told our players the other day that in 2009 we were predicted to be last. We finished fourth, and we finished the regular season 23rd in the country," Price said. "You bet we're going to use it as motivation."
The Jayhawks went on to the NCAA Tournament in 2009, falling in a regional matchup with North Carolina.
Kansas enters the 2012 season with a similar scenario - picked last in the Big 12. However, Price is not concerned about last year's shortcomings.
"We have great team chemistry,
we have depth and we have potential." Price said. "If our coaching staff does our job, we'll overachieve and we'll be successful when it's all over."
Unlike the previous two years, Kansas is not starting its season against the No.1 team in the country, but Kansas's road schedule is the lengthiest of Price's tenure.
The lajhwaks' non-conference schedule is almost entirely on the road. Kansas will play 18 of its first 22 games away from Lawrence, a move that Price hopes will challenge the team and get it ready for Big 12 play.
"We have to get better every weekend because we have 13 freshmen on our roster and we are going to play five significantly," Price said. "The only way I can develop that club to compete in my league is that I make sure we take no steps backwards."
With two freshmen in the starting lineup, Kansas' hopes of being a surprise team in the Big 12 could depend on the performances of the six returning starters. Third baseman Zac Elgie led Kansas
offensively in 2011, hitting .297 with 7 home-runs and 37 runs batted in.
Defensively, Elgie has started 83 games at first base in his Kansas career, but redshirt junior Lake Marasco will take over that role this year. Elgie, now a third baseman, embraces the position swap with Marasco as Price's decision could enhance Kansas' chances of winning in 2012.
"The fact that we've solidified the defense, especially on the infield, is going to be a big part in helping us be successful this year." Elgie said.
NBA
Kansas' starting rotation features three freshmen: Wes Benjamin, Drew Morovick and Robert Kahana. This means that senior catcher James Stanfield will have more responsibility with the pitchers, especially in the beginning of the season.
"I wouldn't call it pressure, but I'm definitely going to have to be more of a presence out there with the guys because they haven't been in that role," Stanfield said.

Pierce finished the game with 15 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. On Sunday, Pierce finished with an uncharacteristic nine points. However, defensively, he tallied a game-high four steals to go along with Rondo's triple double in a 95-91 win over the Bulls.

Chalmers has proven to be one of the league's best three-point shooters this season, shooting 46 percent from beyond the arc. Sunday, it was Chalmers' hot three-point shot that was the difference in their 107-91 victory against the Cavaliers. Chalmers finished the game with 14 points, 12 of which were from three-pointers. The "big three" continue to get all the attention, but through the last few years, Chalmers has continued to improve and shown everyone that he is capable of being a valuable leader on the team.

THE MORNING BREW For fans, baseball goes outside the lines
Growing up, sports have always played an integral role in my life. Instead of a teddy bear, I slept with a green-and-black soccer ball. In the backyard, my brothers pounded me while I wore a full - pants and all - Joe Montana 49ers uniform with plastic pads at age 6. I hit my first baseball when I was 3. I know my love for sports is far from unique, but my love for baseball goes beyond just the game.
By Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
To me, baseball is important because it's the only game played both outside the lines as well as within them. It is outside those lines that great stories develop, along with some of the greatest plays. I love baseball for what happens between the pitch and the inning; the sequence of the game in play allows more time for stories to be developed, explored and told.
The most valuable lesson I've ever learned is that everyone has his or her own story; I just need to ask the right
questions. For every Josh Hamilton overcoming a drug addiction or Cody Ross, who went from wanting to be a rodeo clown to becoming a playoff hero, there are hundreds of other players with equally inspiring stories that have never been told.
Born from their passion for the game, baseball fans give a lot to the sport, but baseball gives back to them as well. The game is there from the first practice of spring training until the final out of the World Series. No matter what happens,
2. 430 games will be played in a season. If the weather doesn't cooperate and postpones the game, the teams make it up to their fans.
In a world where, more than ever, people worry about what's happening around them, whether it's global warming or the state of the economy, baseball can be their rock for eight months of the year. Sure, a team may let its fans down once in a while, but the sport of baseball won't; it will always be there, day in and day out. For three hours a day at a ballpark, nothing else really matters.
Baseball's greatest power is that it brings people together. When a game is on, it doesn't matter if a person votes for a certain political party, practices a certain religion or is of a different race; what does matter is that everyone is there for the sport they all love.
The sport does it all. It lives in the present, embraces the past and looks
KU
to the future all at the same time. The stadiums may have changed, but it's still nine players with leather mitts, a pitcher on the mound and a batter standing 60 feet and 6 inches away with a bat in his hands. The game takes you back to playing catch with your family or a pick-up game with friends at the nearest baseball diamond.
Just like the MLB's ad campaign two years ago — "Beyond Baseball" — I find baseball to be the most compelling when I look beyond what is happening on the field. The games will always be interesting and entertaining, but what happens in foul territory, between pitches or between batters makes baseball our nation's pastime.

COMMENTARY
Ballpark hidden treasure
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Nestled between the trees on Naismith Drive, Hoglund Ballpark never had a chance. Sitting in the shadow of Allen Fieldhouse, the home of the Kansas baseball team is arguably located in the worst spot on campus.
"We understand where it comes from, because, obviously, when you think of Kansas, you don't think of a baseball school, you don't think of a football school," senior third baseman Zac Elgie said. "You think of, obviously, a basketball school."
While Elgie did put some of the blame on the team's subpar performance last season, he does have a point. The season starts this Friday for the Jayhawks, and odds are, only a handful are aware of it.
And there's nothing wrong with Hoglund Park. The stadium recently had a $1.2 million turf upgrade. It holds 2,500 people, and every fan in the stadium feels like a part of the action with the close proximity of the seating to the field.
But it's like scheduling a T-Pain concert next to a Jay-Z and Kanye West extravaganza. Who wouldn't choose the latter?
In 2011, Kansas did not finish in the top 44 in average attendance, and that's as far as schools are ranked. The Jayhawks averaged 1,105 people for home games last season, leaving them just below the last school that made the rankings, South Alabama, which averaged 1,214 people per game.
"It's more along the lines of 'Well, our parents are here and that's about it," Elgie said.
Except, for Kansas baseball, people will not come. And those silver bleachers will sit uncovered far too often, as long as the program sits below the legendary building and program that engulfs this campus.
But baseball is a sport that has deep roots in this country's history, often symbolizing hope or change. It's Like in "Field of Dreams" when James Earl Jones boasts, "People will come."
Instead, on a Thursday game at 6 p.m., 904 people showed up to cheer on the Jayhawks. And that number is inflated, as season ticket holders are automatically counted into the attendance figures.
In the middle of the season, Kansas played No.4 Texas, in Hoglund Ballpark. The team had been playing well of late, sitting one game over .500 on the season and in conference play. Heck, if the series had gone well, the team would have been in a position to make the NCAA Tournament.
Edited by Katie James
"At Texas A&M last year, there were five or six thousand fans and it's crazy," Elgie said. "There are people who heckle you left and right, but it's fun and that's the way the game is supposed to be played, that's what you live for, and it'd be nice if we had fans come give the other teams crap every once in a while."
And while the young team strug-
gled last season, there was never
a true feeling of support from the
University's students and alumni.

A DWINDLING ROSTER
FILLING IN FOR DAVIS
KATHLEEN GIER

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The Kansas women's basketball team needs answers, and it needs them quickly. In the loss to Kansas State on Sunday, the team saw its All-American candidate, Carolyn Davis, fall and tragically end he season with a torn ACL and dislocated left knee.
Just when it looked like the Jayhawks were going to break their 12-year NCAA Tournament drought, they are left with a depleted roster of only nine athletes after transfers and Davis' injury.
Besides Davis, junior guard Angel Goodrich and senior forward Aishah Sutherland are the only other players consistently scoring in double figures. On most nights, this trio serves as the soul of the team — scoring the points, making plays and leading the Jayhawks to their 17-7, 6-6 record.
"We have talented people on this team," Sutherland said. "It was her that was in the spotlight at that moment; now, we have other people who can come into the spotlight."
Coach Bonnie Henrickson is looking for more production from a contingent of the team that she said is under-performing. She wants freshman guard Natalie Knight to be more aggressive, junior guard Monica Engelman to contribute more, Sutherland to be more consistent and freshman guard Asia Bovd to make a noticeable effect.
The team has come to rely on the consistency and strength of Goodrich, but that could be considered a weakness.
"We just throw it back to her," Henrickson said. "She is our pacifier; we ask her to do a lot."
In stretches, this team has run with some of the best in the conference and country, defeating No. 23 Texas in Austin and No. 22 Texas Tech in Lawrence earlier this season. But it stalled in conference play, dropping games to Kansas State and Oklahoma at home.
This is a new chapter for Kansas as it looks to regroup after the loss of Davis and searches for three more victories to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The team's
first opportunity to show the resolve and resilience it need come at 7 tonight in Ames, Iowa. Earlier in the season, the Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones in double overtime in Allen Fieldhouse, where Davis scored 21 points, 12 of them during the two overtimes. It took last-second shots from Goodrich and Engelman to continue the game at the end of each period.
Without Davis, freshman forward Chelsea Gardner steps into the spotlight. Gardner is soft-spoken and still plays timidly, but she realizes that this team needs her to blossom now.
"She's got a big shoe that I've got to fit in, but I just feel that I've got to practice harder and come out and work hard in the games," Gardner said.
She has been playing increasing minutes with varied success. Gardner is 6 feet 3 inches and plays in a way that reminds Henrickson of Davis but has yet to show the consistency and aggressiveness that the Jayahaws need off the bench. Tonight, she will debut in a starting spot at the five position against a quick and powerful Iowa State frontcourt.
Henrickson said from past experience, she is wary of the toll the Cyclones forwards take on her younger players.
"Every freshman post player I have taken up there, Bill Fennelly has flare screened the fool out of them," Henrickson said.
Henrickson remembered watching Davis get pulled out to the three-point line her freshman year while trying to guard versatile post players such as center Anna Prins, who scored 19 points in the first outing.
"Prins is a beast lately," Henrickson said. "That is what worries me, because we know who will be guarding her: Chelsea."
Forward Chelsea Poppens of Iowa State also gave Kansas trouble, scoring a game-high 24 points and pulling down 15 rebounds.
But in the game against Kansas State, Gardner showed glimpses of the player the team needs her to become, scoring seven points, three rebounds and only one turnover in 23 minutes. The ball came to her on one of the final plays with a chance to tie the game, and although she did not make the basket, Henrickson said there was a bigger takeaway.
"She can't think, 'I can't believe I missed it,' Henrickson said. "She's got to walk away thinking. My teammates have confidence in me and my coaches do too."

Big East and WVU reach settlement
CONFERENCE RE-ALIGNMENT
ANDREW JOSEPH
aijoseph@kansan.com
The Big East Conference announced Tuesday that it will terminate the membership of West Virginia University on June 30, allowing the school to join the Big 12 Conference in July.
West Virginia and the Big East reached the settlement after three months of deliberations.
"The Big 12 is a strong and vibrant conference academically and athletically," said Oliver Luck, athletic director for West Virginia, in a statement Tuesday. "We look forward to the potential academic and athletic partnerships and financial opportunities that membership in the Big 12 offers."
The agreement prevents either party from discussing the financial details of the settlement, but, according to the Associated Press, West Virginia and the Big 12 will pay the Big East a total of $20 million.
The settlement is conditional on West Virginia following Big East bylaws until it leaves on June 30, according to a statement from the Big East board of directors.
"This vote is conditioned on
The dispute between West Virginia and the Big East originated when conference commissioner John Marinatto ruled that he would hold all three Big East defectors — the universities of Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia — to the mandated 27-month waiting period.
WVU fulfilling its obligations under a settlement agreement with the Conference that resolves the litigation between the parties" the statement read in part.
Three days following the Big 12's announcement aboug adding West Virginia, the school filed a suit against the Big East to waive the waiting period.
With the additions of West Virginia and Texas Christian University made official, the Big 12 released its 2012 conference football schedule on Tuesday.
The Big East countered with a suit of its own less than a week later.
Kansas will open Big 12 play hosting TCU on Sept. 15 and play at West Virginia in Morgantown on Dec. 1.

EDUCATION
Steven Case, co-director of UKanTeach, a program for education majors who want to teach secondary math and science, agreed with the recommendations and said the University has already been working to improve math and science education and is getting good results.
It's a problem the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) addressed last week when it issued recommendations on how universities can get and keep more students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The recommendations included making introductory courses more interactive, helping new students improve STEM skills and recruiting more non-traditional students.
The University's Center for Science Education works with K-12 students to improve their math and science skills because one of the major problems facing universities is teaching incoming students who don't come to college with basic math and science skills, Case said.
Students need new methods in classrooms
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Colleges across the country are struggling to produce graduates from science and math based programs and the University of Kansas is no exception.
One of those students was Abigail Anderson, a senior from Nashville, Tenn., who struggled with her two required math classes as a freshman. She said being a freshman and new to campus was already confusing without having to take a lecture-based class on a subject she already felt behind in.
I didn't get any one-on-one help," Anderson said. "It seemed like teachers were just kind of weeding people out."
This issue becomes particularly difficult for students who hope to major in a STEM subject but don't have a strong math or
science background because the curriculum can't be simplified to make challenging programs easier, said Alice Bean, professor of physics.
"Science and math are not things that you can do for two hours a week," Bean said. "It's not like we can limit the number of credit hours because we want to get more scientists out so we want to make it easier. I personally don't want to drive over a bridge designed by somebody who doesn't have the training."
One of the solutions suggested by PCAST has already been adopted by some professors; making classes more interactive and less dependent lectures.
"Doing science is a better way of learning science," Case said. "That's a huge shift for us in undergraduate education."
But Bean said that making classes more hands-on is not an automatic way to interest students. In physics classes for engineering majors students are now asked to complete problems in class so a professor can help, but many don't like being forced to work in what they expect to be a lecture.
"What we're finding is that it's hard to retrain students from being passive learners to being active learners," Bean said.
Attracting and retaining more students in STEM fields also might require something the PCAST recommendations didn't mention: a change in the way people think about math and science's worth.
"If we want to increase the number of science and math students, we have to start as a society appreciating the fact that the development of medical devices, the internet and all of the devices that we take for granted were made by engineers and scientists," Bean said.

Rakeisha Cushinberry (right), a junior from Hutchinson, gets help from Michael Keenan (left), a second year law student from Chicago, and Matthew Namee (center), a second year law student from Lawrence, in filing her taxes at Green Hall. Students can come to help receive tax advice from the law students on different days during the next three weeks. The system benefits the law students in being able to gain experience with helping people with their taxes while undergraduates receive free advice.
Students have a way to save money this tax season: by properly filing their taxes with the help of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
TYLFR ROSTF/KANSAN
VITA is a national program aimed at providing income tax assistance to lower income individuals, people whose annual income is less than $49,000 can attend sessions to file their taxes with the help of volunteers from law and business students. Most students' annual income is lower than $49,000, which makes them eligible for tax refund.
"A lot of people have too much money withheld during the year, so filing their income tax return helps them get the excess that they paid as a refund," said Michael Keenan, a second year law student from Chicago and co-coordinator of the sessions.
From Feb. 13 to April 16, people can attend sessions Monday through Saturday for a few hours each.
"It's fast and it's free," she said. "It helps a lot."
Rakeisha Cushinberry, a junior from Hutchinson, found the services helpful during the session held Wednesday.
Cushinberry met other tax consultants that took several hours to file, Cushinberry found the half an hour she spent with her volunteer student filer, Matthew Namee, a second law student from Lawrence, convenient. On a student budget, Cushinberry also appreciates that the service is free.
Students wanting to file should make sure they bring their W2s, records of extra income they may have earned during 2011, their social security number, and a

"I depend on my financial aid," Cushinberry said. "Without it, I would not be able to further my education. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can file my financial aid and enroll."
The more information students provide, the more likely it is they will also increase their tax refund, he said. Filing also means that students have one less step in applying for financial aid through FAFSA, which is due March 1.
"It's in the best interest to provide the most accurate information because it's the law", Namee said.

GOP runner seeks funds
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
TIOGA,N.D.—Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has been spending plenty of time in oil country lately, prospecting for GOP votes — and money.
He tromped through an oil field in the frigid northwest corner of booming North Dakota on Wednesday to tell local industry and government officials he wanted to "learn about what you're doing here and what we can do not to screw it up."
In the past week, Santorum also hit themes of peeling back regulations in Oklahoma and Texas, where newly built high-rise office towers with energy company logos are a testament to a strong sector of the economy. The energy money that flows to political campaigns is up for grabs this go around, which could help explain Santorum's recent focus.
In all three fuel-rich states, the GOP contender spoke industry language meant to forge a common bond with his hosts. He quizzed audiences on where the nation's first oil well was drilled before quickly
answering with Titusville, Pa., the former senator's home state.
"I don't own any oil wells — yet. Maybe one of these days I will. I hope to," he joked to one crowd.
Santorum has voiced support for environmentally risky hydraulic fracking practices, the on-hold Keystone pipeline and oil exploration in Alaska's wilderness. He says a Santorum administration would quickly reverse regulations imposed by Democratic President Barack Obama that he thinks are stifling energy development or creating too much uncertainty for investors.

New bill threatens insurance coverage
BOSTON — The debate over the line between religious freedom and federal health care mandates has made its way into Massachusetts closely watched U.S. Senate race, with Republican Sen. Scott Brown accusing his chief Democratic rival of wanting to "dictate to religious people about what they should believe."
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
Consumer advocate and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren has responded by criticizing Brown for signing on to a Republican-backed bill that would allow employers and health care plans to deny coverage for any service they say violates their moral or religious beliefs.
"This is a completely new attack that threatens everyone's health care," Warren said Wednesday. "This bill would allow any employer or insurance company to refuse to
cover anyone for anything."
Brown, however, said Warren is trying to stifle religious liberties by supporting a proposal from President Barack Obama that would allow workers at religious affiliated institutions to get free contraception directly from insurers.
"Now, it is Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren who has assumed the mantle of oppressor," Brown said in a statement. "She and her allies on the left are dictating to Catholics and other people of faith that they must do as they are told when it comes to health care or face the consequences."
Brown has intensified his criticism of Warren by invoking the memory of the late Democratic U.S. Sen, Edward Kennedy, a Catholic who held the same Senate seat for nearly a half-century before his death from brain cancer in 2009.

Police shooting during fuel price protest wounds three
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lankan police fired on fishermen protesting fuel price increases Wednesday, killing one person and wounding three, a witness and a doctor said.
Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said police used tear gas to disperse an "unlawful mob" but refused to comment on whether police fired guns at the protesters.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thousands of fishermen were walking in a protest march near the fishing town of Chilaw and clashed with police, who later opened fire at them, said local journalist Jude Samantha who was at the scene in the town 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of the capital, Colombo.

Police tried to block the protesters from entering the Chilaw town and in turn protesters started hurling stones at the police, Samantha said. Police used tear gas and then opened fire.
Members of Sri Lanka's People's Liberation Front brave police water cannons during a protest in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Wednesday, Feb. 15. A wave of protests have swept across the country after the government increased fuel prices from Saturday night.
Dr. Dinusha Jayasinghe said one dead person and three with gunshot wounds were brought to the town hospital. She said one person's condition is critical.
Protests have swept across Sri Lanka after the government increased fuel prices Saturday night.
Separately on Wednesday, police used tear gas and water cannons to stop hundreds of opposition Marxist party activists who tried to march to the center of Colombo to protest fuel prices.
Nuclear safety chief apologizes for outdated regulations
ASIA
TOKYO Japan's nuclear safety chief said Wednesday the country's regulations are flawed, outdated and below global standards, and he apologized for their failure when a tsunami crippled one plant last year.
Haruki Madarame admitted Japanese safety requirements such as for tsunami and power losses were too loose and many officials have looked the other way and tried to avoid changes.
"I must admit that the nuclear safety guidelines that we have issued now to now have various flaws," he said. "We've even said that we don't need to consider risks for massive tsunamis and lengthy power outages."
The March 11 earthquake and tsunami knocked out
power and cooling systems at the plant, sending its three reactors into meltdowns and causing massive radiation leaks. More than 100,000 people around the plant relocated due to fears of radiation impact on their health.
Madarame said officials have never taken seriously the power of outages, assuming that the likelihood of hours-long blackouts in high-tech Japan would be low. He said they thought keeping backup generators would be enough, and never thought of the risk of placing them in the basement — the area most prone to seawater damage from tsunami. The destruction of the generators at Fukushima Dai-ichi left no method available to cool the reactor cores.
EUROPE
BUCHAREST, Romania — More than 600 people have died during a record-breaking cold snap in Eastern Europe, authorities said Wednesday, as officials in the Czech Republic blamed two massive car crashes on blinding snow.
Authorities in Russia and Ukraine alone reported Wednesday that more than 300 people have died in the bitter cold.
Since the end of January, the region has been pummeled by the deep freeze, which has brought the heaviest blizzards in recent memory. Tens of thousands have been trapped in often-freezing homes and villages by walls of snow and unpassable roads, and officials have struggled to reach out to the vulnerable with emergency food airlifts.
Record-breaking cold snap kills 600 in Eastern Europe
About 100 damaged cars blocked a major highway in the Czech Republic connecting the capital, Prague, with the eastern part of the country and Slovakia. Seven people were injured in two separate accidents, authorities said, warning it could be hours before the mangled vehicles are cleared.
Authorities in Russia said 205 people have died this year in the frigid cold, while Ukraine has had 112 cold fatalities and Poland had 107. Seven people have died in Romania in the past 24 hours, bringing the total there to 86 deaths.
In hard-hit Romania, some 23,000 people remain isolated in 225 eastern communities where more than one week of heavy snow has blocked roads and wreaked havoc on the rail network.
Honduran prison inmate lights own bed on fire, kills 356
CENTRAL AMERICA
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — A fire started by an inmate tore through an aging and severely overcrowded Honduran prison, burning and suffocating inmates in their locked cells and killing as many as 356 people in one of the world's deadliest prison fires in a century, authorities said Wednesday.
The local governor, a former prison employee, told reporters that an inmate called her moments before the fire and said he was going to set the 1940s-era facility on fire and kill everyone inside.
Survivors told investigators that an unidentified inmate screamed "We will all die here!" as he lit fire to his bedding late Tuesday night in the prison in the central town of Comayagua.
SINCE 1950
The blaze spread within minutes, killing about 100 inmates in their cells as firefighters struggled to find officials who had keys. Comayagua fire department spokesman Josue Garcia said.
"We couldn't get them out because we didn't have the keys and couldn't find the guards who had them," Garcia said.

P
Ron Paul video alters war views for veteran
Political Fiber.com
Army veteran David Conway first heard about Ron Paul in 2009, after an improvised explosive device abruptly ended his second tour in Iraq that July.
Conway spent the next six months recovering from a broken right leg, a severed tendon in his left ankle and shrapnel wounds across his body. Bedridden and disillusioned with the war, he spent most of his time browsing the Internet and watching YouTube videos.
"I felt like I had certain beliefs about the war but I never really expressed them," said Conway, who's now a freshman at the University of Kansas. "As a solider I was expected to support it."
That all changed when Conway came across a video clip of Paul. He was soon obsessed with the libertarian philosophies championed by the U.S representative from Texas, connecting most with his anti-war beliefs.
Conway estimates he has since watched more than 200 videos of Paul, one of the four remaining Republican presidential candidates.
"It became addicting," he said. "I realized there was this whole movement behind Ron Paul, and I wanted to become a part of it."
Paul's grassroots movement — led by an army of college-aged volunteers — has helped him sweep the GOP youth vote in the first four of five primaries and caucuses. Florida was the only state where 18- to 29-year-old voters didn't favored the 76-year-old Paul, according to entrance and exit polls. Polls weren't taken for the most recent contests in Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota and Maine.
Under Conway's leadership here in Kansas, the KU chapter of Youth for Ron Paul has recruited 1,649 supporters — more than any other school in the county.
ROCK CHALK, RON PAUL
In 2008, Paul was one of the most visible candidates on campus thanks to a small group of passionate student organizers. Though many of those students have since graduated, they planted the seed for today's campaign.
About a dozen students attend the chapter's weekly meeting in a small room in the Kansas Union.
Conway, the chapter's president,
has become one of Paul's most fervent supporters in Kansas. He and four of his friends drove to Iowa during winter break to volunteer for Paul's campaign leading up to the state's caucus. With help from hundreds of like-minded students, Paul won 21.4 percent of the vote and came in a close third.
Edward King, Paul's national youth director, said young people have since become a vital component of the campaign. Youth for Ron Paul has organized more than 525 chapters and registered nearly 29,000 people, 4,000 more than it did in 2008.
"And the campaign is just getting started," King said. "We expect it to grow even more as the momentum builds."
YOUTH SUPPORT
At a time when voter enthusiasm for Republican candidates remains lackluster, Paul's rivals could learn a lot from his success with young people, said Peter Levine, the director of Tufts University's Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. His ability to connect with college-aged voters is no small achievement for a candidate many pundits have written off as the GOP's eccentric uncle.
"If you can organize a small, coherent, passionate sub-culture, you can have a big impact," Levine said. "You can change the public discourse if you're skillful at asserting yourself in that kind of way."
Paul's popularity with young people may be most evident online. "Kansas for Ron Paul 2012," his Facebook page for the state, boasts nearly 900 likes. No other candidate has more than 350.
That so many young people are rallying around Paul's anti-establishment rhetoric says much about a generation jaded by a fractured political system and a dismal economy. A survey by Harvard University's Institute of Politics found that 52 percent
of millennials believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction.
But that doesn't mean candidates can afford to ignore them.
"It's the biggest generation we've ever seen in America and the biggest generation in the world," said Trey Grayson, director of the institute. "Those campaigns that don't adapt to what the millennial generation wants to see in candidates are going to have a hard time winning."
After Barack Obama won 66 percent of the youth vote in 2008, his popularity with millennials has steadily waned from 60 percent last February to 48 percent today, according to the Harvard survey.
Many of Paul's young backers are ex-Obama supporters. Others identify themselves as libertarians in the traditional sense: fiscally conservative and socially liberal. And some are single-issue voters who've attached themselves to one of Paul's radical platforms, such as legalizing drugs or abolishing the Federal Reserve.
Together they say they've found hope in Paul's ideological consistency and political authenticity.
"Even if Ron Paul doesn't win, he's going to make dramatic change in the political system," Conway said. "He's building a movement. He's not just running for president."

BBC remaking shows for U.S.
"Coming out here, I would say that I was a highly functioning madwoman," said Jane Tranter, head of BBC Worldwide Productions. "Suddenly I had to spend an awful lot of my day in cars: driving on the wrong side of the road, not knowing where I was going and getting lost. I couldn't get used to the heat, so I would arrive sweating and covered in dust."
TELEVISION
LOS ANGELES — The scene had the feel of a slapstick British comedy: Wildly successful television executive trades her big job in London for a post in Los Angeles and frantically tries to put her company on the map while navigating the city's maddening roads and culture.
The veteran TV executive three years ago left her high-profile BBC role, where she was responsible for a $1 billion annual programming budget, to run the broadcaster's U.S. production company. The L.A. unit produces "Dancing With the Stars" for ABC and the auto show "Top Gear", which began its third season Tuesday on the History channel.
Tranter's primary objective is to remake BBC shows for U.S. audiences. She's not the first. Norman Lear in the 1970s turned the BBC's "Till Death Us Do Part" into CBS' "All in the Family." ABC later hit the jackpot with an American version of British network ITV's "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire," and Fox turned ITV's "Pop Idol" into "American Idol," television's biggest hit. In 2006 "Dancing With the Stars" became ABC's most popular program.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The gambit is paying off. BBC Worldwide Productions has put more than five shows on American channels, and it has eight others in production.

Music sales increase after Houston's death
LOS ANGELES — Not surprisingly, the public's appetite for Whitney Houston's music erupted in the hours after she died Saturday in Beverly Hills, as more than 100,000 albums and nearly 900,000 individual tracks sold in a little over 24 hours.
The Nielsen SoundScan retail sales monitoring service reported that 91,000 digital albums and another 10,000 physical albums along with 887,000 digital tracks were sold by the close of the reporting period that ended Sunday night. Those numbers and new Billboard chart positions will be released on Wednesday.
The top-selling title among the albums was her 2000 compilation "Whitney Houston — Greatest Hits," which sold 64,000 copies.
The most popular song was "I Will Always Love You," which was responsible for 195,000 of the downloaded tracks. Additionally, according to Nielsen BDS, which tracks radio airplay, that song was played 2,137 times on U.S. broadcast radio stations Saturday and Sunday.
Sales figures constitute a quantum leap in public interest in Houston's music. Compared with the week before she died, her digital album sales increased more than 17,000 percent, sales of the greatest hits collection jumped by more than 10,000 percent and digital track downloads were up 5,730 percent. Radio airplay of "I Will Always Love You" rocketed from 134 plays before her death.

PHILADELPHIA — Ralph Fiennes' "Coriolanus" is not your typical toga-and-sandals Shakespeare. It's camouflage-and combat boots Shakespeare, it's gritty, it's graffited. Although the actor and first-time director is faithful to the Bard's text, setting his tale of usurpation and political upheaval in the city-state of Rome, it looks more like Bosnia, or Beirut.
Shakespeare's play inspires director's modern edition
Slabs of grim modernist architecture, the rubble and debris of poverty and conflict, TV monitors reporting news of rioting and war — Fiennes "Coriolanus," with its people's uprisings and its uniformed demagogues, its partisan clashes and elitist arrogance, is about as contemporary as it gets.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"But I still feel that those themes are even more relevant today. Certainly, when I read up about the sort of military ethic of places like West Point, things haven't changed much, really."
In "Coriolanus," with a screen adaptation by Oscar-nominated John Logan, Fiennes is Caius Martius Coriolanus, a mighty, mightily feared military leader. His mother, Volumnia, is pushing him to seek the position of consul, but the citizens have turned against him. After much sturm and draug, Coriolanus is expelled from Rome, only to ally himself with his enemies — led by Gerard Butler — and then return to take revenge.

Fiennes, the English actor of
"Schindler's List," "The English Patient" and "The Reader" fame — not to mention the role of one Lord Voldemort in a series of wee little fantasies about a boy wizard — has been thinking about a screen adaptation of Shakespeare's last great tragedy since he starred in a London stage production, back in 2000. Throughout the decade, he made his pitches to producers and film finance folk.

Political showdown in Egypt inevitable
INTERNATIONAL
By Jacob Keplar

One year after the resignation of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the transition of power to a civilian government is still in the early stages and some significant obstacles remain.
Although the lower house of parliament has been elected, the upper house is still awaiting its own elections. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has promised to hold presidential elections by the end of June but no exact date has been set and the constitution commission, which will write the country's next constitution, has yet to be formed.
Even though the completion of parliamentary elections will be a positive step, the real showdown could begin shortly thereafter with the writing of Egypt's next constitution.
At some point in the future the Egyptian parliament will elect a 100-member constitution commission which will be responsible for drafting the country's new constitution. The role of the eventual president in this process
is unclear, as is the SCAF's. Theoretically it should have no part in this process but some fear the SCAF may be trying to influence the writing of the new constitution. Any attempt by the SCAF to do so, could lead to a political confrontation between the SCAF and the parliament.
For now it appears the constitution will be written after the presidential election but it remains to be seen how well the parliament, the president and the SCAF will work together once all elections are complete.

The SCAF must understand its role in Egypt and in the transition of power. It is simply filling a caretaker role while a civilian government is created.
Its function is not to exert its control and influence over every step in that process. The SCAF must also be able to provide law and order for the country without the continued killing of protesters. In the days following the riot in Port Said, ten people were killed while protesting the SCAF's handling of the incident and the transition as a whole. Deaths like these are never welcome or tolerable and are also counterproductive to the transition process.

Egyptian security forces fire tear gas at protesters during clashes near the Interior Ministry in Cairo, Egypt, Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. The number of people killed in clashes with Egyptian security forces in the wake of a deadly soccer riot rose on Saturday, according to a field doctor and a security official, as demonstrators in Cairo kept up their calls for an end to military rule and retribution for those killed in the soccer game violence.
Not only does Egypt receive large amounts of military aid, it
The SCAF should tread lightly when dealing with Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) in its country. If they no longer want foreign NGOs operating in Egypt, that is their business. But charging NGO workers for illegally operating in Egypt after allowing them to do so for years is unacceptable.
Even from the SCAF's point of view, risking over 1 billion dollars in annual aid and the relationship with one of its greatest allies doesn't seem like a wise move.
has also received over $28 billion in economic aid from the U.S. since 1975. As a new Egyptian government tries to move forward, it will likely want as much international aid as possible. Recent actions by the SCAF are putting Egypt's aid from the U.S. in jeopardy as well as the relationship between the two countries. For the sake of Egypt and its citizens, the SCAF needs to truly embrace the revolution and accept the transition to a civilian government.

Watchmen fans' question prequel
Beneath the placid surface of Kansas, chaos has erupted in nerd culture. Everywhere, every day nerds are raging against the injustice that has been recently released upon them. "Watchmen?!" they cry out, "Why would they do this to 'Watchmen?'"
And you're shouting back "Watchmen'? You mean that crappy movie from like three years ago? Whatever." But that's because you're not aware of the utter madness that is DC Comics' decision to create a prequel to the greatest graphic novel ever written.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@tansan.com
First, some back story: "Watchmen", which began its run in 1986, is far and away the greatest comic book series ever published. Created by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons, "Watchmen" depicts an alternate universe where superhero vigilantism has been outlawed and the United States edges ever closer to a war with the USSR.
Famous as both a brutal, "Taxi Driver"-esque depiction of 1980s America and as a deconstruction of superhero comics, "Watchmen" has become the standard by which all other comics are judged.
DC's planned miniseries will take place before the events of "Watchmen" and is imaginatively titled "Before Watchmen". To create it, they've rounded up the best talents in comics today, including J. Michael Straczynski, Darwyn Cooke, and other people you've never heard of. The idea is to devote several issues to each of the main characters and presumably create stunning new insights into the characters (or something, DC isn't too clear on this).
Because Alan Moore signed away the rights to his creations when they were published, his work has become a source of legendary hostility between the writer and his parent companies. Mostly this has stemmed from bad film adaptations of his comics like "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" or "V for Vendetta", but DC's planned "Watchmen" prequel takes it to a whole new level.
Nerds everywhere are up in arms about the prequel, claiming that tarnish the original masterpiece. Comic books haven't exactly ever been bastion of artistic integrity, but "Before Watchmen"
is so much more than another bad miniseries being foisted upon consumers.
Time magazine featured "Watchmen" on its list of the 100 greatest novels and the word "seminal" gets thrown around a lot when it's being discussed. It is to comics what "The Godfather" is to movies, if "The Godfather" had a omnipotent blue guy who zapped people's heads off.
To write a prequel to "Watchmen" is to take the book that got people to take comics seriously and reduce it to just another crummy shelf-filler.
Writer J. Michael Straczynski has been a passionate advocate for the miniseries and promises it will meet the exceedingly high bar nerds everywhere have set for it. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Straczynski points out that the entire medium of comic books is built upon artists working on other people's creations, citing Superman specifically.
While Straczynski makes a strong case for "Before Watchmen", the entire project smells like a shameless cash-in. If Straczynski or another writer had approached DC with a quality story involving "Watchmen" characters, people would not be reacting quite so strongly. Instead, DC has been trying to get the project off the ground since "Watchmen" was first released in 1986.
"Before Watchmen" is just another in a long string of uninteresting, creatively bankrupt comic book extravaganzas put out by DC Comics.
Then again, perhaps it's not worth getting too worked up over. There's a million terrible Batman comic books out there and more than a couple bad Batman movies, but the caped crusader is still good, right? I guess we should just be glad DC Comics isn't giving "Watchmen" the full George Lucas treatment.

LITERATURE
Pondering about the fates, book explores life long bonds
**C** The Fates Will Find Their Way "is the debut novel from
young author Hannah Pittard, and it's quite a first impression. Told in an unconventional first-person-plural manner, The Fates recounts the memories of high school buddies as they theorize about the disappearance of classmate Nora Lindell decades earlier.
At some point in their youth, each of the boys dated Nora, and so they all have an attachment to her that continues even as they grow older. All that they know about her disappearance is that on Halloween night, early in their high school years, Nora got into the car of a mysterious man and was never seen again. From there, the boys obsess over where she might have gone.
By Josh Moreland
jmoreland@kansan.com
Written as a series of non-chronological flashbacks, "The Fates Will Find Their Way" is pure nostalgic goodness, and Pittard makes the reader feel a part of the men's past. The story does not completely revolve around Nora Lindell, but also many different shared moments in their youth. The men recount past relationships, tragic deaths, childhood fantasies, teenage lust, bad parenting and much more.
More importantly, they wonder how each of these events might have played out differently, for better or worse, and how their lives might have been shaped by them. Pittard emphasizes people's innate desire for closure and understanding for the
things that have happened in their past, and shows that when they are deprived of it, it can have a profound effect on their lives even many years later.
Pittard's delivery in "The Fates will find their way" is very matter-of-fact and devoid of much superfluous language. Usually I prefer a more flowery style, but Pittard's voice works really well for the story's narrators.
The protagonists themselves are insecure, aging men with less-than perfect childhoods, and their thoughts and attitudes reflect this. Perhaps it's just my perception, but I felt an underlying theme of regret and sadness throughout the novel. Through their obsession with Nora Lindell's disappearance, the men seem to feel that they've lived unspectacular, "cookie-cutter" lives and envy the fates of others from their childhood.
I think The Fates Will Find Their Way, more than anything, is an examination of fate. As the characters reflect on their friendships, they realize just how little they truly knew about each other and what directions their lives would take. Pittard closes the novel with a reminder to appreciate the present life. This statement, more than any other in the story, struck me the most.
We've all been guilty of looking to our past and future to gauge the kinds of lives we have, but it is the present moment that is most important. Overall, "The Fates Will Find Their Way" is a fantastic treatise on fatalism and the human condition. However, if you prefer spelled-out resolution in your stories, you might not be satisfied with it, though I think if you look hard enough, you'll find closure in the novel's message.

THE MORNING BREW Sports and celebrities aren't harmonious
Minutes after Whitney Houston was pronounced dead, my Twitter feed and Facebook
homepage blew up with links to the iconic "I Will Always Love You" video and other gems from her prolific music career. The most fascinating link I clicked on, however, came from numerous sports outlets which showed Houston singing the national anthem at either the 1991 Super Bowl or the first WNBA All-Star game.
By Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
While her renditions were beautiful and moving, the specialization of these references intrigued me. Houston's death was no doubt significant national news since she has become an icon throughout the years, but seeing the announcement scroll across the bottom of ESPN shows the intense degree of cross-culturalization currently present in our nation.
The Super Bowl epitomizes this fact. It temporarily unites the sports fans and their pop culture loving friends and family in a night of mystical historic events. The sheer number of big names from music, film
and sports to pull off the day of pregame coverage, the patriotic melodies and halftime show are staggering. Madonna was even able to announce a nation-wide tour which will no doubt be bolstered by her surprisingly entertaining performance. But, it extends beyond the day and week of the big game.
The importance of celebrities professing their devotion to sports increases by the day. Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses has a blog on ESPN.com, Reece Witherspoon was shown on SportsCenter saying she watches ESPN from the moment she wakes
up to the moment she falls asleep, and the Beckhams have an hour-long E! segment on them coming to America. The line between sports and the other sections of the paper have been blurred irrevocably.
This also extends to political leaders. Our president gives us his insight each March on Barack-a-tology and even quips with our dear coach Bill Self on losing money betting on the Jahwacks last season. And, when South Korean leader Kim Jong-Il died, false reports about a terrific golf game were released.
The accessibility to these celebrities is unprecedented, and it seems easier to find some random way to connect ourselves to them because they watch sports. And that means they would definitely come sit at the bar at Johnny's Tavern with you and catch a game instead of sitting sideline in well protected and isolated seats.
The angles are unique and that is honorable, but scanning their history for a selective memory to tie them to any audience is absurd.
KU
While I appreciate these celebrities making my endless hours of sports watching seem more socially acceptable, I admit I prefer the already interesting world of sports. The sports pages are unique because they span the categories of stories with hard news, game recaps, features and opinions. The personalities can be just as endearing and the stories captivating.
The sports world has its own heroes and its own villains without the integration of characters from other worlds. Keep the music to pump up videos, and let the sports fan focus on the game. When we want news we will leave the safety of our select channels and let the news and politics in, but when sports is the escape, we are getting away from the other realities of daily life.

COMMENTARY
Players need to step up
Since his awful game against Missouri, Jeff Withey has averaged 20.3 points, 12 rebounds, 6.3 blocks and 2.5 steals per game. It's fair to say that Withey is playing inspired basketball and has taken a load off Robinson and Tavlor.
Help is wanted.
Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor are arguably the best guard-forward combination in college basketball. They have propelled the Jayhawks to the top of this year's college basketball hierarchy and put them in position to win another Big 12 championship.
But what about Elijah Johnson?
But the two cannot win the Big 12 and advance the team far into the NCAA Tournament by themselves.
According to Rivals.com, Johnson was a five-star recruit out of high school, but he has been an underachiever offensively. Defensively, Johnson is superb, but he was recruited to be a scorer.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
In Big 12 conference play, Johnson is averaging only 7.2 points and making only 36 percent of his shots. Out of the 99 shots Johnson has taken during Big 12 conference play, 58 percent have been three-pointers, and he has made only 28 percent of them.
It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the lajahawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
Johnson's offensive production could play a big hand in deciding how far the Jayhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson has had plenty of looks from behind the arc. He's shown no hesitancy to pull the trigger, but settling for jump-shots is a waste of athleticism.
- Edited by Jeff Karr
Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
Taylor's confidence is sky-high because he has had success driving the basket. Johnson hasn't shown the same aggression that Taylor has this season.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.
Johnson is regarded as one of the best athletes in college basketball. Bill Self recruited him because he could beat defenders with his speed and power. He needs to take a page out of Taylor's book by driving to the basket more.
Penetrating defenses and taking shots near the basket are not only higher percentage shots, but they are confidence boosters.
Lawrence is the college basketball version of Lob City. Alleyoops are a large part of the team's offense. There is no reason why the Jayhawks can't throw lob passes to Johnson and take advantage of his athleticism.

DAVIS' ABSENCE NOTED

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was hoarse after the game from trying to coach her team through the necessary changes that came after watching their All-American candidate and leading scorer Carolyn Davis end her season with a torn ACL and dislocated knee just a few days ago.
"In two days we've had to put some things in and move some people and until we find an identity offensively and look at things to pinpoint, I might sound like this for a while," Henrickson said.
Henrickson said Iowa State would run her freshmen forwards around and make the game difficult for them. That part of the scouting report rang true as the Cyclones out-rebounded and out-scored the less physical and less experienced Jayhawks who played their first game without Davis. Davis made the trip but watched the game from her hotel room.
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland kept the Jayhawks in the game with 12 second-half points on jump shots and layups off offensive rebounds, but without backup in the post the Jayhawks faltered.
Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner garnered the start in Davis' place and finished with eight points, but countered her productivity with four fouls which put her on the bench during a critical second half run by the Cyclones.
"I just thought that I wasn't in rhythm." Gardner said.
The Jayhawks led at halftime before collapsing defensively in the second half and allowing the Cyclones to quickly pull away. Kansas lost the game 66-47 and dropped to 17-8 overall and 6-7 in conference play.
Sutherland, Gardner and junior guard Angel Goodrich were the only players to make waves statistically as the team struggled to find an answer for the high powered Iowa State front court of Chelsea Poppens, Anna Prins and Hallie Christofferson, which scored 40 of the team's eventual 66 points. Poppens finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds with a commanding presence around the basket.
It was clear that the Jayhawks were missing Davis' experience
and dominance in the paint as they were out-rebounded 38-22 including 18 offensive rebounds by the Cyclones. Poppens pulled down eight offensive rebounds and finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds in just 26 minutes.
Kansas fell behind early after an 8-0 run by Iowa State, but was able to garner a two point lead by halftime after a stretch of consistent play on both ends from Sutherland. However, Iowa State started the second half on a 19-2 run and this time, Kansas could
move his team needed to create separation in the second half and eventually pull out the 19 point victory.
The Cyclones also had success on the perimeter where they hit 7 of 18 from beyond the three point line. Brynn Williamson came off the bench for the Cyclones and hit two three pointers to kick off the run. She replaced Nikki Moody who had underachieved in the first half with five points and four turnovers in 15 minutes. Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly made the
not counter.
The Jayhawks will return home after a two game road stand to host Missouri for the final time in Allen Fieldhouse before conference realignment kicks in next season. Missouri is currently 0-12 in conference play and Kansas won the earlier 72-63 match up in Columbia.
"We just beat ourselves tonight and we need to stay focused more," Sutherland said.

The Fort Worth, Texas police arrested 17 Texas Christian University students, including four members of the football team, on charges of distributing narcotics on Wednesday morning.
The arrests came after a six-month investigation by the Fort Worth police.
Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers during an NCAA college football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman DJ. Yendry.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
Vendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University. I believe strongly that young peoples' lives are more important than wins or losses," Patterson said in the release to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
According to Fort Worth Police chief Steve McGee, the drugs distributed included marijuana, cocaine, molly (a powdered form
of ecstasy), ecstasy pills, acid and prescription drugs.
"There is no doubt all of these individuals are drug dealers," McGee said in a press conference Wednesday morning. "These individuals engaged in hand-tohand delivery, for money, with undercover narcotic agents."
The four football players are no longer listed on the roster on the Horned Frogs' football website and have been separated from the University and are not attending classes.
The arrests come the day after the Big 12 released its football schedule for next season. TCU
Brock was expected to be a leader on the Horned Frogs'

A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
This year Lukfin, a junior from Melbourne, Fla., was the one student selected by the University Theatre Department to direct a one-act play.
you get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."
Lukin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
1930s New Orleans, the story focuses on a mother soliciting gossip from her son, who is struggling with a secret. Lufkin was drawn to the one-act play because of its emotional intensity, but also because it required little set design.
The length of the show also allowed Lukkin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, and Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.
"It's so raw; it's so easy without anything else," Lufkin said. "You could do this in a park. You could do this in a stairwell."
“it's a totally different experience from anything I had.” Roschitz
After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story. Gil Perez-Abraham, a junior from Wichita, said the group members, like Lufkin, were excited to have a chance to show off skills that aren't always showcased in the theater department.
"It's so unique for a university to have this kind of opportunity for the students, just to have the group and the performance opportunities." Perez-Abraham said.
The second performance is tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are available on the University Theatre website.

personal. Decisions were never 'I'm right, you're wrong."
The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.
sketball tour-
Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a roundrobin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.

I am sure I am not the first person to say this, and I am sure that I am pissing off women across campus as they read this, but with women come unnecessary drama. Do you know how many times I walked into the public lobby, and two girls were having one of those intense conversations that you know you don't have a place in, and they glare at you like you meant to steal their precious little high school drama secret and put it all over Facebook? Too many times. So I'd sit around in the lobby working on my
homework right next to them just to piss them off a little bit and for my own amusement. Note to Sellards girls: just because you were whispering, doesn't mean I couldn't hear you.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the women I met in that house. Some of them are still near and dear to me. After all, we got to know each other through three hour cooking shifts in the kitchen, where we would blast hip hop music, make fools out of ourselves and laugh off the daily school stress.
The benefit of the estrogen-infused house was the sense of family we inevitably felt living with each other. Considering how limited we were with private space in the house, we all knew each other's problems. While that sounds like a complete invasion of privacy, it was like having a powerful support system of 50 caring women. (Who runs the world? Girls.)
If cooperative living solely meant spontaneous dance parties in the middle of the kitchen throughout the week, I would have never left Sellards. Since that's hardly the case, I'll stick with just two roommates.

Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.
Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
LOVE
The Hookup
Dear Michelle,
I'm in my 40s and have been seeing this guy for a few months now. He's attractive, attentive, treats me like a queen, and the sex is awesome. To top it all off, he's five years younger than me. The only thing that I question is how much sex is too much? Am I crazy, or should I be thrilled that we are having sex every single day, multiple times a day? Sometimes I get a little sore, and sometimes I'm just tired. But he seems willing to satisfy himself (I feel a little guilty). Maybe it's just the fact that it's been so good and so much fun, I don't want it to end, but I feel like he may kill this old lady from too much of a good thing.
—Loving My New Man
A common question, believe it or not, is are we having too much (or too little) sex? Well, in my opinion, the only sex that boarders on too much is anything that is unhealthy. It sounds to me like your sex is very healthy. You are excited to be together, make each other feel good, and find fun and exploration in the activity. Eventually, the sex will taper off to just once a day. Don't be anxious when this happens either. Your sex life with a new partner will help establish a deeper intimacy down the road.
Dear LMNM.
The skin in and around the genitals is delicate and full of nerve endings, so caution might be necessary for certain sex acts. Frequency and aggressiveness will affect this area. If you find yourself experiencing any pelvic pain, vaginal pain or irritation, pain during urination, or (if you're doing this) pain in the anus, avoid sex until you can see the doctor for a quick checkup. If you haven't been to the doctor in a while, why not go anyway? Get a pelvic exam, pap smear and STI

test for peace of mind. Encourage your partner to do the same. With a clean bill of health, you can get down and dirty any time, any place.
In addition, always keep a high quality lubricant on hand. I use a brand made especially for women. It is silicone-based, so it does not absorb into the skin as quickly as water-based (KY, Astroglide). Unfortunately, the silicone-based lubes cannot be used with silicone toys. Be sure to have both a silicone and a water-based option for intercourse. Remember, as you age, the level of natural lubrication can decrease. Lubrication is a quick and easy solution to dryness during sex, but prescriptions are available as well. Women have the option of using estrogen creams or suppositories to increase natural lubrication in the vagina. Talk to your doctor about these direct hormone options. If you're still producing natural lubricant, just use the over-the-counter lubricants when necessary.
partner. Suggest alternative methods of intimacy: sensual massage, a shower or bath together. oral sex only, paint each other with chocolate or whipping cream, or tell each other your fantasies. Be creative and go beyond intercourse to establish that romance and intimacy. Have fun on your new adventures.

// SASHA LUND
Music brought Amanda Wiggans and Brad Turnbull together. They met during classes when they were both music majors at Truman State University. "It was love at first sight for me," Amanda says. "She knew right away when I first walked in the doors of her first class, but it took me a while. I was really shy," Brad says. It didn't take Brad too long, because you've been dating since October 2006. In July of 2011, Brad decided to take their relationship to the next level, and he proposed.
DATING TIP Use past memories of your relationship to show each other how you feel.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Brad knew he wanted to do something special, so he planned an elaborate scavenger hunt for his girlfriend of five years. "She always told me that she didn't want to look like a scrub when I propose, so I told her we had reservations at a nice restaurant." Brad says. Then he told Amanda that he had to go back to the office, and asked her to meet him there.
When she arrived, Brad had left a note on his door with her first clue to the scavenger hunt. "Every clue took her to a different place, and then told the story of a significant happening in our relationship that was paired with the location," Brad says. The last stop for Amanda was the stone bridge at Potter Lake, and Brad says he still remembers the moment he saw her walking down the hill. "She saw me at the bridge, and it was the longest walk of both of our lives." Then he gave her the last clue, which asked "Do you remember the time I asked you to marry me?" and got down on one knee. Amanda admits that she was surprised. "We had been together for so long, it just felt like all of my dreams were coming true."
The pair advises other couples to keep an open line of communication. Amanda says the key is to support and choose to love each other every day.

Texas Christian University defensive end D. J. Yendrey (94) watches the ball fumbled by Boise State running back Drew Wright, bottom left, in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game, in Boise, Ind. Authorities arrested 17 students, three of which were on the football team, in a sweeping drug sting at TCU on Wednesday. Feb. 15, 2012.
The arrests came after a sixmonth investigation by the Fort Worth police.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.

Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers during an NCAA football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University. I believe strongly that young people's lives are more important than wins or losses," Patteran said in the release to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
According to Fort Worth Police chief Steve McGee, the drugs distributed included marijuana, cocaine, molly (a powder form
of ecstasy), ecstasy pills, acid and prescription drugs.
"There is no doubt all of these individuals are drug dealers," McGee said in a press conference Wednesday morning. "These individuals engaged in hand-tohand delivery, for money, with undercover narcotic agents."

LOVE
Considering Cohabitation
The number of partners living together has increased, but before signing that lease, there are factors you need to consider. //RACHEL SCHWARTZ
From 2000 to 2011, the number of unmarried people living with their partners increased from roughly 3 million to 6.7 million, a 123 percent increase, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It could be because of the economy. It could be because some people of the current generation place less emphasis on religious morals. It could be because people don't want to get divorced, so they are just living together instead to avoid the messiness associated with it. At least, that is what some think.
"The taboos against living together, primarily religious, have become less powerful. Also, the divorce rate is so high that people want to take their relationships for a test run. Living together is much bigger than just dating, but not as big as marriage," says Johanna Lyman, JOY professor in Wai Koloa, Hawaii.
As a JOY—Just Own Yourself—professor, Lyman teaches people how to create relationships and experiences they want, so they can lead a full life.
Melanie McQuade, Lenexa senior, and Jim Stanton, Overland Park, started dating in October 2010. They have technically been living together since July, but since November 2010, when they each had their own places, they have been staying at the same place. They now live in a house with two other people, which Stanton works out best in terms of finances. Money was not an issue for McQuade, but she did have some things to consider before moving in with Stanton. "If we did split up, what would we do? We could still live in the same house; just not have the same room. Or I could move in with my parents and commute. I had backup plans." McQuade says.
Stanton says that he enjoys living with McQuade and that it is a lot more intimate when people do live together. "I think if you can still just really like a person when they're in their pajamas and just woke up, then that's really something." Stanton says. After McQuade graduates this May, she and Stanton plan on getting a place together in Kansas City, Mo. "My mom always told me you should live with someone before you marry him or her so you can see if you are compatible to spend the rest of your lives together," McQuade says.
But people don't always see cohabitation as a step before marriage, Lyman says. "People, especially women, tend to assume that it's a stepping stone to marriage, so I would be careful with assumptions before you move in with someone," Lyman says. Stanton and McQuade think cohabitation has increased because of both costs and convenience. "People are now more accepting of that kind of living situation. If someone has to move away, the other person doesn't have to follow, and it doesn't result in divorce," McQuade says.
DOLLARH
Rose Reynolds, Overland Park senior, and Nathan Hutchcraft, Lenexa senior, have been dating for two and a half years, but do not live together. While some people move in together for financial reasons, these two don't live together for that same reason. Reynolds says the rent would be higher if she just lived with Hutchcraft, so she lives with three other roommates, which is more cost effective. However, Reynolds does stay at Hutchcraft's place so often that some people think she does live there. "One reason I stay at his place is because we share groceries. I'll get off work and we'll eat dinner. And I'm like, 'I could go back to my apartment, or, he has a nice big bed, I could just stay here,'" Reynolds says.
After graduation, Reynolds will work more to make more money, so the two will be able to afford to live together. Reynolds believes that moving in together is the step before marriage. "I've even heard from this Catholic woman, before she divorced, that I should live with my boyfriend before I got married," Reynolds says. Hutchcraft thinks that our generation isn't bound by "unnecessary morals" like the generations before us were, which is why more people cohabit.
However, Meredith Hiller, St. Louis sophomore, believes that the deterioration of these morals shows a disregard for the sanctity of marriage. "It's just become something of convenience. But, if you live together before marriage, it just encourages temptation to have sex. If you live together, what do you have to look forward to when you get married?" Hiller says.

Things to consider before getting married, according to Johanna Iyman JOY professor.
1. Financial arrangement and expectations.
Lyman says money is one of the main factors that break up relationships. You need to see what each other's money mindsets are beforehand.
2. General expectations.
These are general housekeeping things, such as who will cook and clean, and how neat the other person is.
3. How you will spend your time.
When people move in together, they sometimes lose contact with friends, women moreso than men, Lyman says. What times will you carve out to spend time with friends or family? Agree to these times in advance.

A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
"You get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and that your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."
This year Lukfin, a junior from Melbourne, Fla., was the one student selected by the University Theatre Department to direct a one-act play.
Lufkin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
1930s New Orleans, the story focuses on a mother soliciting gossip from her son, who is struggling with a secret. Lukfin was drawn to the one-act play because of its emotional intensity, but also because it required little set design.
The length of the show also allowed Lukkin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, and Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.
"It's so raw; it's so easy without anything else," Lufkin said. "You could do this in a park. You could do this in a stairwell."
"It's a totally different experience from anything I had," Roschitz

"It's so unique for a university to have this kind of opportunity for the students, just to have the group and the performance opportunities." Perez-Abraham said.
After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story. Gil Perez-Abraham, a junior from Wichita, said the group members, like Lufkin, were excited to have a chance to show off skills that aren't always showcased in the theater department.

personal. Decisions were never 'I'm right, you're wrong.'
The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.
Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a round-robin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.

Claterbos has been teaching Survey of Marketing and Strategic Management for 20 years and offers her students study tips that incorporate all three of these learning methods. She suggests reading the material before class and making an outline, listening to the lecture and taking notes in a way that helps you understand the material and reviewing the slides and your notes after class.
You're in class reading the PowerPoint, taking notes and listening to the lecture. You may not know it, but each person is learning the information in three different ways — reading, writing and listening. "I can't just expect all students to read the book and get the ideas," says Joyce Claterbos, lecturer in the School of Business. If just reading the book doesn't work for you, try writing more or listening closer.

The International Film & Food Festival // MEGAN HINMAN
"It's a great way to experience the world outside of Lawrence without having to leave Lawrence," says Sushu Wang, senior from Manhattan and the Films and Media coordinator of Student Union Activities.
The festival is now in its fourth year and is hosted by SUA. It used to be a three-day event, but to maximize cost efficiency, they compressed it all into four foreign-filled hours, Wang says.
"The film from the UK stars Keira Knightly and Colin Firth and features classic British humor, while the Italian film has "a great twist at the end, which people will appreciate," Wang says. Even if it delays your homework, it's a good way to spend your Sunday.
Your Sundays might be reserved for curing hangovers and tackling homework, but it's time to switch it up. On Feb. 19, spend your Sunday at the International Film & Food Festival.
The lineup features films from France, Georgia, Italy, South Korea and the United Kingdom, plus the four best student-submitted films, as determined by the SUA committee. All the films will be less than 25 minutes long and, though the event is come-and-go, there will be an intermission to eat food from each of the featured countries.
"It's an opportunity to try something totally different from [your] everyday routine at KU," says Rebecca Swearingen, adviser for Films and Media with SUA. Neal Supernaw, a freshman from Valley Center, says he is most looking forward to seeing the Georgian film, which is a documentary. Wang's favorite is the South Korean film, which features a girl preparing for her day.

"There is no doubt all of these individuals are drug dealers," McGee said in a press conference Wednesday morning. "These individuals engaged in hand-to-hand delivery, for money, with undercover narcotic agents."
The four football players are no longer listed on the roster on the Horned Frogs' football website and have been separated from the University and are not attending classes.
Brock was expected to be a leader on the Horned Frogs'
defense as they entered their first season as a member of the Big 12 football conference.
The arrests come the day after the Big 12 released its football schedule for next season. TCU
will open its conference schedule at Kansas on Sept. 15.

To help with the time management puzzle, Julie Morgenstern, author of Time Management from the Inside Out (Holt, 2004) created a strategy called The Four D's for when you didn't plan as well as you thought you did, and you need more time in the day.
DELETE: Proactively decide that you just don't need to do something. That doesn't mean skip your hygienic routine because you don't feel up to it. It means realize that there are more important things to do, and you just don't need to fix your hair and makeup today.
THE FOUR D'S
DELAY: Schedule your task for another time. It's not procrastination. It's guilt-free reorganization. You still need to clean your room. It can just wait until Saturday, when you have time to vacuum and pick up all those clothes off the floor.
DIMINISH: Come up with shortcuts that will allow you to still get the job done, but quicker. When you thought cleaning the kitchen would only take 20 minutes, but the fridge alone has taken 30, just leave it at that. That's the worst part anyway, right?
DELEGATE: Realize that you can't do it all, and ask someone to help. Make a deal with your roommates that you'll get the house ready for the party if they go to the store for last-minute supplies.
Her alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. It's pitch-dark outside and she crawls out of bed to get her mind set and ready for the day. She's not a morning person, but she makes time in her busy schedule for this: Exercise. It's the only time she can fit in a workout, and she needs it to manage her stress from her daily tasks.
She is Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence and student body president, which probably makes her one of the busiest people on campus. But she knows all about how to manage a packed schedule. Her typical day consists of attending multiple meetings, responding to tons of email, talking with fellow senate members, and going to class. Though Johnson's schedule is unique, it's not hard to identify with her busy lifestyle.
ing time on. Take time to plan out how you're going to spend your time and also be flexible for changes."
"One of the most important things I've learned through being involved in college is learning how to balance different areas of your life and prioritize," Johnson says. "You have to think about what's important and make sure that those are the things you're spend-
But how do you plan?
Julie Morgenstern, author of "Time Management from the Inside Out," says one of the most important things you can do to manage your time well is to use a single, consistent planner. Whether that device is a smart phone app or a daily calendar, make sure that you record everything in the same place.
"Time management is a puzzle," Morgenstern says. It helps to be able to see it all in front of you. If you write your tasks in separate places, you may be unknowingly creating what Morgenstern calls a "blind spot," which is a missing piece of the time puzzle. It's important to look at everything in context and fit the puzzle pieces together. By being able to see your time plotted out in front of you, you change your perception of time from relative and qualitative into concrete and quantitative.
Hunter Hess, a senior from McPher
son, knows what it's like to have a busy schedule. This year, he was a winner of the Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership, or Ex.C.E.L., award, which is given out every year by Student Involvement and Leadership Center (SILC) and other campus organization representatives. Hess says that managing time can sometimes take the spontaneity out of things, but he plans so that he can have time for his friends, be successful in school and work, and keep up with the responsibilities that come with winning the Ex.C.E.L. award, like planning the Blueprints Leadership Conference.
"You can do all of these things, but you just have to plan a little more carefully. It may not be as spontaneous, and you have to exercise moderation and constraint, which is difficult in some cases," he says. "Just keep in mind what your priorities are."
Rueben Perez, director of, or SILC also recommends prioritizing your activities.
"You're here for an education and
that needs to always be your priority," he says, though he does see students putting their extracurricular activities before their schoolwork. "Sometimes you can 'major in involvement' and forget your academics."
The most successful students Perez has seen are the ones who manage academics, involvement, which could be anything from a being in an organization to having a job, and what he calls "self time," which includes time for exercising, eating healthy, having a significant other, or just relaxing.
"I've seen students balance that and do all that very well," he says. So, it can be done.
Johnson and Hess both say that having a busy schedule has actually helped them manage their time better. Involvement and activities on campus provide structure to an otherwise lazy day.
For additional help with your planning skills, the SILC offers time management workshops. Visit www.silc.ku.edu for more information.

A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
"You get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."
This year Lukfin, a junior from Melbourne, Fla, was the one student selected by the University Theatre Department to direct a one-act play.
Lukin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
The length of the show also allowed Lukfin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, and Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.
1930s New Orleans, the story focuses on a mother soliciting gossip from her son, who is struggling with a secret. Lukin was drawn to the one act play because of its emotional intensity, but also because it required little set design.
"It's so raw; it's so easy without anything else," Lufkin said. "You could do this in a park. You could do this in a stairwell."
"It's a totally different experience from anything I've had," Roschitz
After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story. Gil Perez-Abraham, a junior from Wichita, said the group members, like Lukfin, were excited to have a chance to show off skills that aren't always showcased in the theater department.
"It's so unique for a university to have this kind of opportunity for the students, just to have the group and the performance opportunities," Perez-Abraham said.
The second performance is tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are available on the University Theatre website.

The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.
Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a round-robin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.

Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.
Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.

It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Johnson's offensive production could play a big hand in deciding how far the Jayhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament.

Authorities arrested 17 students, three of which were on the football team, in a sweeping drug sting at TCU on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brown, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
Yendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University.

The Sunflower house, located at 1406 Tennessee, currently houses 28 people in its 33 available rooms. It is the largest of the three student housing cooperatives that fall under the University of Kansas Student Housing Association. The Ad Astra house, located at 1033 Kentucky, has 10 rooms and the Olive house, located at 1614 Kentucky, has eight. Both the Ad Astra and Olive houses are at full occupancy.
The Lawrence co-ops are part of a much larger trend. The United Nations General Assembly has designated 2012 as the International Year of Co-ops. Social.un.org says the goal is to highlight the cooperatives' contributions to socio-economic development, specifically their impact on poverty reduction, job creation and social integration.
HOW IT WORKS AND WHEN IT DOESN'T
The International Cooperative Alliance website says a cooperative is an independent group of people united voluntarily to meet shared economic, social and cultural needs through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise. A cooperative can take many forms from, a business such as the Merc, to production or housing.
Together the entities decided that UKSHA could not afford to repair the Sunflower house, nor could it take out a large enough loan. As a result, in June 2010, NASCO Properties purchased all three houses. Daniel Miller, the general manager for NASCO, says the organization quickly got to work on rebuilding Sunflower. He says the remodeling took about six months. During that time, most of the residents were evicted. To populate the house again, an intern from NASCO and six or seven residents from the Olive house and Ad Astra house moved into Sunflower.
The University of Kansas Student Housing Association, or UKSHA, is the local nonprofit organization that maintains the Sunflower, Ad Astra and Olive houses. It is not affiliated with the University of Kansas. About a year and a half ago, the Sunflower house was in need of serious repair. The building was dilapidated; bathrooms did not work; it became a squatters' haven. UKSHA requested help from a national co-op nonprofit by the name of NASCO, or North American Students of Cooperation.
With the help of NASCO and the other UKSHA houses, the Sunflower house is functioning once again. Miller says Sunflower is a good-looking co-op. The members who live there have formed committees; they know how to plan and carry out marketing; how to deal with conflict when it arises; and, how to perform basic maintenance on the house, he says. Miller says the house is self-aware.
NASCO Properties and UKSHA continue
"The co-op has members who know what is going on and are involved in managing and educating new members," he says.
to act as a system for the co-ops to pool their resources. Miller says inhabitants carry out the day-to-day operation of a co-op. They decide their own rent and do minor maintenance on the house, like replacing a doorknob or cleaning out the pipes under a sink. If an issue arises that they do not know how to fix, they can turn to the experience of the other co-ops in UKSHA or NASCO. Miller says NASCO also provides loans for co-ops with larger maintenance issues.
Jason Hering, the former UKSHA president, says that while it has not always been the case, leases for the UKSHA co-ops last six months or one year. All of the houses expect members to contribute about five to eight hours each week on the house. This time is contributed to chores, like sweeping the porch or cooking a meal; committee meetings, for issues such as maintenance or recruiting; and house projects, such as replacing a toilet or retiring a floor. The rent for each house varies depending on the size and desirability of the room. Currently, the average rent per month for the Sunflower house is $395, the Ad Astra house is $350 and the Olive house is $330. These amounts include utilities and some bulk food purchases, such as rice, beans and popcorn.
Andrew Haverkamp says the day-to-day of each house varies because of the cultural differences among the houses. Haverkamp, a current resident of the Olive house, says the Ad Astra house is primarily focused on sustainability. The house has a large compost operation and a beautiful garden, and the residents collect rainwater.
"Then, Sunflower house, they have a lot of different committees. They eat dinner five days a week together, whereas our house sort of has a reputation for being a little bit more relaxed. We have bonfires. It's pretty chill," Haverkamp, a senior from Hoyt, says.
Krista Jobst lived in the Sunflower house from August to December 2008. Jobst, a sophomore from Tonganoxie, says 27 people lived in Sunflower when she resided there. She says residents tended to hang out with those who lived in the same wing of the house or who had similar daily schedules. You could find something going on at all hours of the day and night. Jobst says.
"You woke up, saw your friends, went to work or school; then, when you came back in the afternoon or evening there were always people playing video games, ordering food, making food, playing weird games on the computer or playing music," Jobst says. "There were a lot of people who used to get together and sing songs upstairs on the piano or with their guitar or their banjo. That was really fun."
While the culture of cooperatives may vary among houses, the mindset behind cooperative living has changed little through
out time. According to KUHistory.com, the Olive house, opened in 1939 and originally named the Jayhawk Co-op, was KU's first independent cooperative living arrangement. The website says that the all-male student cooperative grew out of the difficult economic environment of the Great Depression and attributes much of the early success of the Olive house to a late-1930s undergraduate named Gerald Fiedler.
Among Fiedler's correspondence during the summer of 1939 is a letter to a potential recruit in which he wrote, "Everything will be done to maintain a high standard of living at a minimum price. We will buy wholesale where possible and members will be allowed to bring meat and fruit from home if they live on a farm. They will be allowed a reasonable rate for it."
The original Jayhawk Co-op closed in 1943. The house went through a series of cooperative inhabitants, including an all-female group who renamed the house "the Kaw Koette Co-op," and was eventually sold in 1965. The house ceased operation as a cooperative for more than 30 years, until UKSHA purchased the property in 1998 and reopened it as a cooed-cooperative.
TOOPERATORS
The newest co-op, the Ad Astra house, opened in 2005. Eight women and two men occupy its 10 rooms. They have dinner together every Friday and Sunday night at a round table adorned with a KU tablecloth. This Friday, Sara Mae Martens, a graduate student and practicing architect, is the cook. Martens has long blond hair and straight bangs. She leans forward, her shoulders curling inward, as she laughs at a story told by one of her roommates, Ana Wilde. Wilde, an AmeriCorps member, says the key to a co-op is cooperation, which doesn't always happen when you have a bunch of people living together.
There was a man living in Ad Astra for about a year, she says, who graduated from KU and took an internship position in Kansas City. The internship turned into a full-time job and it became easier for him to stay in Kansas City. Though he no longer occupied his room, Wilde says, someone else began to.
"He was spending more and more time there. All of a sudden, we don't see him at all, and we see this new gentleman, Wilde says.
Wilde's roommates stop her storytelling to correct the word "gentleman" to describe the room's new dweller.
"Ok, guy. So there's this new guy. There are signs of him. He's not like living, living in the house, but he's definitely in that room," Wilde says. "The previous resident said this friend of his was going to stay for a couple days. A couple days turned into a couple weeks, and then no communication came from either the former member or this guy."

Wilde says she and the other members of the house held several meetings and were ready to throw the new guy out when out of the blue the new guy asked if he could help around the house.
"He was like, 'Hey guys, I've been down there for a couple weeks. Is there something I can help with?' Wilde says.
She says he helped clean and everyone was happy, for a very short time.
"That slid him in. And then, he never cleaned again." Wilde says.
She says the new guy eventually signed a lease, but never became a good cooperator: He didn't take the time to care for the house or nurture his relationships with the other house members. Wilde's roommate, Jena Hartman, says a good cooperator is one who takes advantages of the diversity in the house, who spends time exploring the different cultures and opinions among roommates. Cooperators share a common sense of community, not necessarily a common taste in music, which is why, "What kind of music do you like?" isn't a question asked during the interview process.

--it is more mature and geared toward music fans, with less focus on acrobatics than previous shows.
Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
Get Some Culture Jackson Style
It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Michael Jackson's pop hits of the '80s and '90s still resonate today, his concerts were known for their theatrics and artistry, and the singer's personal life made headlines almost yearly until after his death in 2009. Now his memory and inspirational creativity lives on with Michael Jackson THE IMORTAL World Tour by Cirque Du Soleil, coming to the Sprint Center Feb. 21 and 22.
//RACHEL SCHULTZ
The show combines Michael Jackson's music and love of all things magical with the modern performance of the Cirque Du Soleil cast of more than 60 people. The music is all original recordings by Jackson, and instead of having a Jackson impersonator on stage, creator Jamie King relies on the choreography and music commemorate Jackson's legacy. The audience gets an inside look at the Michael Jackson's life off the stage, including his inspirational "Giving Tree," a tree at his residence that he claims to be the source of his musical creativity.
Johnson's offensive production could play a big hand in deciding how far the Jayhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament.
The show's publicist, Maxime Charbonneau, says this Cirque production is different than other Cirque performances because
A
I describe it as a hybrid/blend of both worlds coming together," Charbonneau says. "We pay tribute to the artist and the human being he was."
---
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.
Charbonneau says the show is more like a pop rock concert and a mix of dancing, acrobatics and live music. This Cirque Du Soleil performance is an extra-special feature specifically for the entertainment industry in the Midwest.
"Typically, Kansas City receives Cirque du Soleil productions that have been traveling for 10 or more years. This speaks highly of the up-and-coming arts and entertainment community in Kansas City," says Mary Cissetti of Global Prairie, a marketing firm for the show.
Tickets are available through the Sprint Center, and at most major online ticket retailers, like www.ticketmaster.com and www.stubhub.com, for as low as $50-70.

Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O Neill Chambers during an NCAA college football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
Yendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The husband-and-wife band had their start in the heart of New Orleans, but Hurricane Katrina forced them out of their home and onto the road. After nonstop touring and living out of a van with their two daughters, Truckstop Honeymoon finally settled on Lawrence as their new home.
Mike West and Katie Euliss honed their punk-infused style of bluegrass in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans they even took their name from their own wedding night spent at a truck stop near Lafayette, La. Their home was flooded by Katrina while the duo was on tour, so they were forced to stay on tour without a home to return to anytime soon.
Fast-forward to the present: Truckstop Honeymoon has toured all over the world, including shows in Australia, Holland, Germany and the United Kingdom. They've released seven albums, and a 2007 documentary explored the band and its family's triumphs and struggles. West and Euliss now have four kids.
Since arriving in Lawrence, the band has opened a recording studio, The 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor, and organized an annual Mardi Gras parade whose popularity has increased each year. You can pick up an instrument and march with them and many others on Fat Tuesday this month, Feb. 21. They march from Aimee's Coffeehouse to Free State Brewery for Mardi Gras each year.
Their latest album Steamboat in a Cornfield, which claimed the top spot at KJHK last week, retains the bluegrass spirit but leans a little more toward 1950s rock 'n' roll.

"You get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."
A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
This year Lukfin, a junior from Melbourne, Fla, was the one student selected by the University Theatre Department to direct a one-act play.
Lukin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
The length of the show also allowed Lufkin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, and Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.
“It’s a totally different experience from anything I’ve had,” Roszitz
"It's so unique for a university to have this kind of opportunity for the students, just to have the group and the performance opportunities." Perez-Abraham said.
The second performance is tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are available on the University Theatre website.
After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story. Gil Perez-Abraham, a junior from Wichita, said the group members, like Lufkin, were excited to have a chance to show off skills that aren't always showcased in the theater department.

"It's so raw; it's so easy without anything else," Lufkin said. "You could do this in a park. You could do this in a stairwell."
Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a round-robin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.
The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.
1930s New Orleans, the story focuses on a mother soliciting gossip from her son, who is struggling with a secret. Lufkin was drawn to the one-act play because of its emotional intensity, but also because it required little set design.

"Whether it's dodgeball or something else, we would like to see this continue to help student organizations who have smaller budgets."

Dakota Strange, spirit coordinator in SUA, was happy to see a student organization win first place. The tournament was originally exclusive for student organizations, but because of the lack of teams, SUA opened it up to all students.

Strange said SUA held this tournament to benefit student organizations and to help with its budgets. He also hopes to make this an annual event.
"It was a good showing from student organizations, and we received a lot of positive feedback," Strange said. "We want to continue events like this in the future. Whether its dodgeball or something else, we would like to see this continue to help student organizations who have smaller budgets."

If Valentine's Day left your heart clogged with an excess of gooey sentiment, head on down to Liberty Hall and bleed that sucker dry with "Shame," director Steve McQueen's lacerating rumination on sex without love, love beyond hope and epicurean angst in the city that never sleeps. To be clear, the subject of the NC-17 rated "Shame" is sex addiction, a topic too often consigned to the realm of chump comedy. Here it is presented clinically, devoid of all irony or even the semblance of titillation, a tightly wound character study with urgent implications on the lurid, lecherous beast that dictates so much of what we say and do.
On the surface, Brandon (Michael Fassbender) seems to have it all: looks, easy charm and a well-paying job at a generic Manhattan firm. Yet he has no ability to grasp matters of the heart, preferring instead to devote his attention to another bodily organ, a joyless compulsion that has driven him into a private hell of dingy sex clubs, group-discount prostitutes and a computer hard drive filthy enough to plug a landfill.
this tite of empty hedonism is interrupted by the whirlwind arrival of his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan), another lost soul hoping to make it as a torch singer in a town full of attention-starved performers. Brandon's reaction to her dirge-like rendition of "New York, New York" conveys every bitter ounce of their shared, mercifully unspoken past. This scene, along with another single-take confessional towards the end, contains some of the most fraught, devastating uses of silence I've ever heard put to film.
Fassbender wears the Brandon character like a stretched-out leisure suit, to the point where you can literally see him coming apart at the seams as he struggles to balance his meticulous facade of normalcy with that insistent, all-consuming urge. Mulligan plays Sissy as a burnt-out angel, the course of her earthbound spiral weirdly beautiful to observe. Together, the two of them make self-destruction an emphatically creative experience, one whose themes resonate with all the power and potency of, well, an orgasm.

The Bottleneck: Celebrating 25 years of live music
The Bottleneck displays their collection of photos of bands they've hosted in the past.
PHOTO BY JESSICA JAN
Nestled just off of Massachusetts Street in the slightly quieter block of New Hampshire, the sounds of every genre of music can be heard cascading out of the Bottleneck on any given night of the week. Lined with posters of upcoming shows, the windows are colored with paper advertisements of hopeful future stars.
Since 1987, the Bottleneck has played home to hundreds of local performers and countless traveling bands, including Foster the People who penned the current single "Pumped Up Kicks," and older bands like the Pixies and the Flaming Lips. As the historic venue celebrates its 25th year of business, the Bottleneck's owner, Brett Mosiman, attributes the success to hosting a wide variety of music and appealing to a larger population of students and the Lawrence community.
"I think from the get-go it became apparent for us to survive, we couldn't become a niche bar." Mosiman says. "We'll have metal, indie, we'll have good
Walking into the Bottleneck, it becomes evident that the venue is landmark of sorts. Photos from past performers line the walls like a museum exhibit, featuring many singers and bands who have ventured onto the historic stage.
And Mosiman is serious about diversity. "I've fired people who say, 'here come those stinky hippies.' We want people to feel welcome; we've all been to clubs where the door guys look like they're going to squeeze your head off. Not here."
"On the walls inside there's everyone who's played, from Radiohead to Wilco to the Foo Fighters," Flynn says of the famed photo wall. "When you're in there you feel like you're in somewhat of a local hall of fame. It's good to see who's come through Lawrence and played that same stage."
Isaac Flynn is no stranger to the Bottleneck's commitment to a diverse and welcoming audience and local shows, many of which are all ages, according to the venue's website. Now the lead guitarist of Lawrence band Quiet Corral, Flynn played his first show at the Bottleneck when he was only 14 years
old. Quiet Corral is currently touring throughout the Midwest, but stopped back by Lawrence in January to play one of the most historic venues on the Midwest music map.
The Bottleneck's décor isn't what attracts the bands, though. It's the magic of performing live, felt ripping through the bar's patron's every weekend.
"There's so much energy from the crowd when you're on stage; whatever happens, happens." Flynn says of live performance. "It's way more just of a 'get up there and go for it and see what happens.' When you're live you have to play off your band members and just see how it goes."
The feeling is mutual on the audience's side. According to Robin Smith, a senior from Lawrence majoring in English, it's all about the live music.
"One of my favorite guitarists makes faces while he's playing that are very expressive," Smith says. "It's a kick to see what he's thinking as he's doing and feeling it. There's something greater that happens in the moment when they're all playing then and there. It can go farther than what's accomplished in recording because there's variation."
Elizabeth Bell, a senior in education from Coffeyville, visited the Bottleneck for the first time last month, drawn to the venue not because of its history but after hearing about the Quiet Corral show from friends.
"It was really different than things I normally do on weekends," Bell says. "Usually I just go out to different bars in Lawrence and hang out with my friends. This was cool because there was entertainment there, it made the night a different kind of fun."
The Bottleneck has always been host to some kind of live entertainment, but used to be known as the "Dynamo Ballroom" until the late 70s, then the "Off the Wall Hall," and also "Cogburn's" before Mosiman purchased the venue with a friend in 1985.
"It's crazy, some monster acts have all gone through the Bottleneck," Mosiman says. "Sometimes they were sellouts and sometimes they played there for 45 people for 75 bucks, but they all played if you were paying attention."

Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a round-robin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.
The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.

of prison ball rules is the "shame ball", which is larger than the rest of the balls. If a teammate catches the shame ball while he or she is in prison, two teammates can get out of prison.
SUA opened the tournament up to all students, but it was geared more toward student organizations. The winning team received $225, and second place winners received $150.

Out and About...WOULD YOU LIVE IN A CO-OP?
// SARA SNEATH
Lawrence has a long history of student co-ops dating back to the late 1930s. However, of the students I interviewed only one had heard about cooperative living. After learning a bit about the local student cooperative houses, students said whether or not they would consider living in a co-op.

What it's like... TO HAVE YOUR CAR STOLEN

Summer Bradshaw, a senior from Olathe, walked out to the GSP-Corbin hall parking lot her freshman year and noticed her Hyndai Tiburon wasn't in the spot she parked it the night before.
Searching for my car in the parking lot felt like when you can't find your car keys, but escalated times 10. At first I was kind of embarrassed because I thought I just forgot where I parked. After searching all over the parking lot in the rain, I went back to the spot I thought I parked my car and noticed glass on the ground. That's when I realized someone stole it.
I told the people inside GSP-Corbin the situation, and they showed me the security tape that showed two guys ride

One month later my car was found crashed into a bridge in Kansas City, Mo. The whole left side of my car was pushed into the right side. At that point I didn't even care that my car was found. I wanted to sell it, but I had to get it fixed and keep it because fixing it was cheaper than buying a new car. The worst part was that someone had violated my property that I paid for myself. I still had to drive my car every day for three years knowing someone had broken into it and taken it.
I don't know why they targeted my car because there was nothing visible inside, and it was kind of girly. I was scared shitless because my car was locked, and we've been taught our whole lives if we lock up our stuff, it will be safe, and everything will be okay.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.

The arrests came after a sixmonth investigation by the Fort Worth police.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.

Eat This... VEGGIE LUNCH
TOMMY'S
PHOTO BY SARA SNEATH
As community members bustle through the front entrance of the Ecumenical Campus Ministries, Amy Thompson greets them with a hug, keeping an eye on the amount of food laid out for her guests. Thompson, a sophomore from Shawnee, says with an average of 200 veggie lunch attendees, there is a science to making sure there is the right
"If we put all the food out at once, people would take like, a ton of it," Thompson says.
Thompson, a veggie lunch coordinator, says the best meals are the ones that are unique, feed everyone and are under budget. Donations accepted during the lunch fund the $100 weekly budget, Thompson says, and the ingredients are all purchased at Checkers. This week's cook, Seth Wiley, was able to make veggie jambalaya for a whopping $75.
This is the first time Wiley, a junior from Topeka, has cooked for the Tuesday meal. He says he often attends the lunch and wanted to try his hand at cooking. All of the cooks volunteer through a sign up sheet at the ECM.
Thompson says there are a lot of exchange students who cook. "I think they
really want to share their culture with the community, which is really what it's all about." Thompson says.
Thompson says veggie lunch is more than just free food; she describes it as a gateway drug to the rest of the ECM. Thompson has been a veggie lunch coordinator since last summer, and around that same time that she also became a resident of the ECM co-op.
My favorite part of the veggie lunch was the table overflowing with bread. Every week, Einstein Brothers Bagels, WheatFields Bakery and Great Harvest Bread donate day-old bread. Underneath the table are paper bags for attendees to take bread home with them.
Drink This... WASSAIL
// SARA SNEATH
As I walk into Harlow Sanders's kitchen, I am greeted with a wall of cinnamon apple aroma. I can't imagine a house with three men living in it always smells this good, but tonight Sanders, a senior from Branson, Mo., is making wassail.
Wassail originates from England, and was actually a favored drink of Charles Dickens, according to npr.org. Wassail — pronounced WAH-sehl — is a sweet holiday cider heated with spices and fruit. Sanders says his mother used to make it every Christmas. He called his mother for the recipe last semester, but she no longer had it, he says. The recipe he is using tonight is one he found online that he has used in the past.

Harlow Sanders busy at work making wassail.
"This is the most in-depth recipe I could find. It makes a lot and will put you to sleep." Sanders says.
We begin by coring the apples and filling them each with a teaspoon of brown sugar. We place the apples in a baking pan with 1/8-inch of water. Next, we insert whole cloves into the oranges. Sanders uses a knife to puncture the oranges, to make it easier to insert the cloves about 1/2 inch apart. We place the oranges in a pan along with the apples and bake them
at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. While the apples and oranges bake, we combine the red wine, cider, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and sugar in a large pot. We heat the mixture slowly, without allowing it to boil.
When they are done baking, we throw the apples into the pot. Not all of the apples make it into the pot, as some are
diverted into my tummy. We cut the oranges in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Then, we add the orange rinds. We leave the brandy out to allow the drinker to add it to his or her individual taste.
The drink makes enough for 15 to 20 people and takes about 30 minutes to make; it is so rich it takes about the same amount of time to drink.
INGREDIENTS:
10 small apples
2 medium size oranges
Whole cloves
10 teaspoons brown sugar
2 bottles dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 or 3 cinnamon sticks

A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
Lufkin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
"You get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."

The length of the show also allowed Lukkin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, and Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.

After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story.

seven former employees of Kansas Athletic Inc. were charged after illegally selling and profiting off of $1 to $2 million in football and men's basketball tickets. Mayor Aron Cromwell confirmed the suspension is because of the ticket finding. The person whose speeding tickets were dismissed and the one giving the basketball tickets is currently serving time in prison because of the University's
earlier case. Cromwell did not name the officers or former employee.
Cromwell said one officer had been suspended for the acceptance of the basketball tickets. Another officer was also suspended for not being forthcoming when the details started to emerge. He also said the exchange was not a one-time occurrence and happened over an extended period of time.
According to a report conducted by Foulson SieKin, a Wichita law firm, at least 17,609 men's basketball game tickets and 2,181 football game tickets were sold in the scandal between 2005 and 2010, though the report estimated the illegal sales started before then.
"It is unfortunate this issue has resurfaced," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, "but we really don't know anything new
about this aspect of the case. KU Athletics and the University have really moved on."
Marchiony said the University put measures in place to ensure illegal ticket distribution could not recur from new technology to new staff members.
Calls to the Lawrence Police Department Thursday were not returned.
Cromwell said despite the

"You get a minimal budget, a minimal set so that it's only about your acting and your directing," Lufkin said. "This is supposed to be about the students that you're directing and what you can get out of them as far as your acting ability."
A limited budget, a month of rehearsal and a cast and crew comprised completely of students could be a director's worst nightmare. For Jacci Lufkin, it was a dream come true.
Lukin was excited about the chance to direct a project since opportunities for aspiring theater directors are often limited. But being in charge of the show isn't easy. Her first task was choosing a one-act play that could be successfully staged with the available
This year Lufkin, a junior from Melbourne, Fla, was the one student selected by the University Theatre Department to direct a one-act play.
She chose Tennessee Williams's "Auto-Da-Fe." Set on a porch in 1930s New Orleans, the story focuses on a mother soliciting gossip from her son, who is struggling with a secret. Lukfin was drawn to the one-act play because of its emotional intensity, but also because it required little set design.

The length of the show also allowed Lukfin and her actors, Julie Miller, a senior from Hutchinson, an! Alex Roschitz, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., to develop both the comedy and drama of the play. Roschitz said that being a part of a two person cast was something he had never done before, but it gave him an opportunity to explore his character and play off of Miller. Working with a student director instead of a professor or an outside director was also something new.
"It's so raw; it's so easy without anything else," Lufkin said. "You could do this in a park. You could do this in a stairwell."
"It's a totally different experience from anything I've had," Roschitz
After "Auto-da-fe," the recently formed group, Musical Theatre for Kansas, will perform a thirty-minute musical love story. Gil Perez-Abraham, a junior from Wichita, said the group members, like Lufkin, were excited to have a chance to show off skills that aren't always showcased in the theater department.
said. "It was just really easy for us to find compromises, to give new ideas to each other. It was never personal. Decisions were never I'm right, you're wrong."
"It's so unique for a university to have this kind of opportunity for the students, just to have the group and the performance opportunities." Perez-Abraham said.
The second performance is tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are available on the University Theatre website.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. The five essential rules of dodgeball were in full force Wednesday night at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
Student Union Activities hosted a dodgeball tournament that consisted of 10 teams, and each team had seven players with at least three women on the team. The tournament started out as double-elimination, which means a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament. After half the teams were eliminated, the tournament switched to a roundrobin format where all five teams played each other once. The teams with the two best records would face off in a best two out of three series.
The tournament used prison ball rules, which differ slightly from regular dodgeball rules. If you are hit anywhere on the body, including your face or head, you're out. The ball is live until it touches a ceiling, a wall or floors. This means a ball is still live if it bounces off a player, which is different from normal dodgeball, where a ball is only live if it has not touched anything.
When you're hit you go to "prison",
which is located on the opposing
team's baseline. You can get back in the game if a teammate throws you the ball and you catch it behind the opposing team's baseline. In dodgeball's normal rules, if you are hit by a ball, you are out for the remainder of the game.
DAKOTA STRANGE
SUA Spirit Coordinator
"Whether it's dodgeball or something else, we would like to see this continue to help student organizations who have smaller budgets."
Another unique characteristic
Dakota Strange, spirit coordinator in SUA, was happy to see a student organization win first place. The tournament was originally exclusive for student organizations, but because of the lack of teams, SUA opened it up to all students.
Strange said SUA held this tournament to benefit student organizations and to help with its budgets. He also hopes to make this an annual event.
of prison ball rules is the "shame ball", which is larger than the rest of the balls. If a teammate catches the shame ball while he or she is in prison, two teammates can get out of prison.
SUA opened the tournament up to all students, but it was geared more toward student organizations. The winning team received $225, and second place winners received $150.
"It was a good showing from student organizations, and we received a lot of positive feedback," Strange said. "We want to continue events like this in the future. Whether its dodgeball or something else, we would like to see this continue to help student organizations who have smaller budgets."
"We are holding a basketball tournament for the Boys and Girls Club," Marello said. "We are giving the kids free t-shirts, so the money will be put to good use."
The Sports Management Club captured first place and the $225,

Donors give Obama's campaign $8 million
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORONA DEL MAR, Calif. — Courting donors in Democratrich California, President Barack Obama devoted all of Thursday to raising millions of dollars for his re-election bid and warning supporters that a long campaign awaits.
Obama was holding four fundraisers in the Los Angeles area and in San Francisco, reeling in campaign cash from reliable Democratic donors at a time when the Republican presidential contest remains unsettled. The president was expected to raise more than $8 million from events that will take him from California on Thursday to the Seattle area on Friday.
In the seaside community of Corona del Mar, the president told more than 100 supporters at a breakfast that his 2008 campaign brought a "sense of possibility" of moving the country in a new direction. "We've begun that process but the journey is not yet complete," Obama said.
Obama said the economy has made progress, hours after the
government reported that applications for unemployment benefits dropped for the fourth time in five weeks to the lowest point since March 2008.
"People are starting to get the sense that the economy is on the rebound," he said.
California has been a mainstay of Democratic party fundraising, and a reliably blue state, and Obama's campaign expected to collect millions from six events in Los Angeles and San Francisco over two days.
Supporters at Obama's first event paid ticket prices starting at $2,500 for a reception under a white tent that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. The president was then traveling to San Francisco to meet with 20 supporters paying $35,800 per person, followed by a dinner for 70 people, each paying the same amount.
The president raised more than $220 million for his campaign and the DNC in 2011 and is trying to use a protracted Republican presidential primary to build a financial buffer to help his cause in the November general election.

Tuition waiver approved
Starting Fall 2012 students from the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro area will now pay the same residence rate Kansas students pay for tuition at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved a revised tuition waiver program on Wednesday that cuts tuition rates for Missouri residents in Bates, Buchanan, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Henry, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Platte and Ray counties. Before Wednesday, the tuition waiver only covered half the difference between the credit hour rate of a resident and non-resident student at the Edwards campus.
The previous waiver, which only covered four Missouri counties, also
required a minimum of six credits for residents. The new waiver eliminates the credit hour requirement and also applies to non-degree seeking students.
"I don't think the effect is going to be huge for here. I think it's going to be moderate," said Bob Clark, vice chancellor of the Edwards campus.
"The big issue for us is expanding it makes more programs available to greater Kansas City employees who are looking to improve their quality of life."
According to Clark, the move was made to increase enrollment and revenue, help strengthen the Kansas City area and be more competitive with University of Missouri.
"We want to make sure that we keep our businesses here," Clark said. "We can use higher education to be the
Clark noted that UMKC has been offering a non-resident rate waiver to Kansas students in the metro area for the last seven years and has more than 1,000 students from Kansas counties of the metro area.
Details given to the Board of Regents for discussion show that University officials expect to enroll 81 more undergraduate students and 20 more graduate students each year with the tuition waiver. Officials expect an incremental net increase in revenue of $17,331 in the first year of the program.
The waiver program does not apply to students at the Lawrence campus.

Gunman attacks Nigerian prison, 118 inmates escape
LAGOS, Nigeria — Attackers stormed a federal prison in Nigeria with heavy gunfire and explosives, killing one guard and freeing 118 inmates in a new assault demonstrating the continued instability in the nation, an official said Thursday.
The attack on the prison happened at Koton-Karifi, a town in Kogi state just south of Nigeria's central capital Abuja. The gunmen attacked just after 7 p.m. Wednesday, fighting through the prison gate and killing
one guard in the process, said Nigeria Prisons Service spokesman Kayode Odeyemi.
Those inside the prison escaped in the fighting, with 118 inmates known to be missing Thursday afternoon, Odeyemi said. However, local prison official Hadijha Aminu said guards still hadn't completed a head count and didn't know how many prisoners actually were inside the prison at the time of the attack. The government said an investigation into the attack
had begun.
"One does not really know why" the gunmen attacked, Odeyemi said. "It might be that some of the armed robbers are trying to free the armed robbers there awaiting trial."
The prison held armed robbers and kidnappers, Odeyemi said. He said he did not know if the prison held any members of a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram, which has been plaguing the country with violence over the last year.
Unauthorized protests in Senegal lead to police force
AFRICA
DAKAR, Senegal — Police opened fire with tear gas on protesters who had gone ahead with a sleep-in Thursday at a downtown square, even though the government had banned the demonstration being held one week before the country's presidential election.
It's the second day that protesters have continued their demonstrations despite the government's refusal to authorize the gathering. Senegalese police are allowed to use force to break up crowds at unauthorized protests, as they did on Wednesday to stop marchers who got within 500 yards of the presidential palace.
The country's opposition is calling for the departure of 85-year-old President Abdoulaye Wade.

Honduran prisoners trapped during fire, 358 dead
COMAYAGUA, Honduras — The prisoners whose scorched bodies were carried out piece by piece Thursday morning from a charred Honduran prison had been locked inside an overcrowded penitentiary where most inmates had never been charged, let alone convicted, according to an internal Honduran government report obtained by The Associated Press.
The Honduran government report, which was sent to the United Nations this month, said 57 percent of some 800 inmates of the Comayagua farm prison north of the Central American country's capital were either awaiting trial or being held as suspected gang members.

Suspects of Israeli diplomat car bombings detained
BANKGOK — Three iranians detained after accidentally settling off explosives in Bangkok were planning to attack Israeli diplomats. Thailand's top policeman said Thursday in the first confirmation by local officials that the group was plotting attacks in Thailand.
Israel has strongly accused Iran of being behind the botched plot, a bombing in India and an attempted bombing in the former Soviet republic of Georgia this week, which Iran has denied.
Citing the similarity of bombs used in New Delhi and Tbilisi, national police chief Gen. Prewpan Dhamapong said that Thai authorities now "know for certain that (the target) was Israeli diplomats."
"This issue was about individuals and the targets were specific," he said. "This was something personal."
Israel has accused Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terror and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has blamed the Jewish state for the recent killings of Iranian atomic scientists and has denied responsibility for all three
bomb plots. The explosion Monday in New Delhi tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding the driver and a diplomat's wife, and an attempt was foiled the same day in Georgia.
"This campaign bears the unmistakable fingerprints of the Iranian regime and the highest echelons of the Hezbollah leadership." Israel's U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor said in a letter. "Their actions constitute a clear threat to the security and stability of Lebanon, to the Middle East, and to the many countries that have been targeted."

Topeka Capitol Police arrested two men Wednesday for unrelated security threats against the Kansas Capitol.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Kansas Highway Patrol car keeps watch on a pickup found in a parking lot near the Kansas Statehouse, Wednesday.
The first arrest was made after authorities discovered homemade explosives in a truck parked in a restricted lot of the Kansas Judiciary building. On Wednesday, Capitol Police Captain Marc McCurel said police arrested the owner of the vehicle in a state office building, which is linked to the Capitol by an underground tunnel.
According to the Associated Press on Thursday, the suspect will not face federal charges and was released from custody late Wednesday. Capitol Police spokesman Patrick Saleh told the Associated Press that the Kansas Highway Patrol will speak with the Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor about possible charges early next week; he will discuss the case with federal, state and local law enforcementments
Friday morning. The suspect is not considered a flight risk.
In a second incident, McCure said Gov. Sam Brownback's office received a series of threatening phone calls. The calls began Tuesday and continued until police arrested a man Wednesday morning at a Topeka motel. The Associated Press reported that police arrested a 37-year-old man in connections to the case, but no criminal charges have been filed. District Judge Steven Ebberts set bail for the man at $25,000.
"We had two separate and independent events that just ironically happened on the same day," McCure said.
"The legislature was in no immediate danger," Russell said.
Jeffery Russell, director of Legislative Administrative Services said he didn't become aware of the situation until he received an "all clear" alert.
Despite both threats to the Statehouse, legislative procedures remained uninterrupted Wednesday.
McCure said the Capitol Police sent out a notification regarding the discovery of explosives through a free mass-communication system it uses to alert subscribers to security issues. Capitol Police also alerted the Governor's office, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He said additional Capitol Police forces were called in to heighten security along with the assistance of FBI, ATF and Topeka police officers.
"The Topeka city police were very helpful," he said.
McCure said the arrests were not in relation to a Wednesday afternoon rally of Brownback-op-

The explosives were found after an officer began investigating the truck for being parked illegally in the restricted lot. The officer saw suspicious items like an empty gun case in plane sight.

Nigerian man is arrested for bringing bomb on plane
CRIME
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who has said he was on a suicide mission for al-Qaida, was the same defiant man who four months ago pleaded guilty to all charges related to Northwest Airlines flight 253. He seemed to relish his mandatory sentence and defended his actions as rooted in the Muslim holy book, the Quran.
DETROIT — A federal judge ordered life in prison Thursday for a young Nigerian man who turned away from a privileged life and tried to blow up a packed international flight with a bomb concealed in his underwear.
"Mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God. And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Quran," he said. "Today is a day of victory."
Life in prison is a "just punishment for what he has done," the judge said. "The
Earlier, four passengers and a crew member who were aboard the plane told U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds that the event changed their lives.
Abdulmutallab "has never expressed doubt or regret or remorse about his mission," Edmunds said. "In contrast, he sees that mission as divinely inspired and a continuing mission."
Anthony Chambers, an attorney assigned to help Abdulmutallab, said a mandatory life sentence was cruel and unconstitutional punishment for a crime that didn't physically hurt anyone except Abdulmutallab. In reply, the government said plenty of harm had been done.
"Unsuccessful terrorist attacks still engender fear in the broader public, which, after all, is one of their main objectives," prosecutors said in a court filing before sentencing.
The case also had lasting implications for security screening at American airports.

defendant poses a significant ongoing threat to the safety of American citizens everywhere."
Abdulmutallab, the 25-year-old, European-educated son of a wealthy banker, told the government that he trained in Yemen under the eye of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric and one of the best-known al-Qaida figures.
He chose to detonate a bomb on the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight but the device failed and badly burned him. He quickly confessed after he was hauled off the plane.

After 25 years on air, Larry King retires
LOS ANGELES — CNN and Larry King are going their separate ways.
Though King gave up his daily prime-time talk show on CNN in December 2010, he still had a deal for several specials. The last of those — "A Larry King Special: Dinner With the Kings" — aired in December.
In a statement Wednesday, CNN said it had "the greatest respect for Larry," and wished him "the best of luck with his new endeavors." King added that he has nothing but love for CNN. King's staff of four will likely be let go from CNN but may be able to reapply for new jobs at the network.
McClatchy Tribune
King, 78, was replaced by British media personality Piers Morgan.

Comedy Central hosts tribute to Bernie Mac
of the Original Kings of Comedy; Chris Rock, who directed the movie "Head of State", where he co-starred with Bernie; Cameron Diaz, who was in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," and many other friends and collaborators.
Comedian and actor Bernie Mac died in August 2008 from problems related to inflammatory lung disease, and it's still hard to believe his voice has been silenced.
As is evident in a new TV tribute to Bernie, it was a gruff voice, sometimes accompanied by an intimidating stare. But it was also one capable of the tenderness he demonstrated on his Fox sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show" during its 2001-06 run.
And, apparently, in life. "I Ain't Scared of You: A Tribute to Bernie Mac," premiering at 10 p.m. EST Sunday on Comedy Central, contains affectionate and often funny testimony to Mac's skills as a comedian and a person. It comes from Bernie's wife Rhonda McCullough and their daughter, Je'Niece; "Bernie Mac Show" co-stars Kellita Smith and Camille Winbush; Steven Soderbergh, director of the "Ocean's Eleven" movies in which Bernie appeared, as well as co-stars Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia and Carl Reiner, D.L.

FILM
Social media sites boost box offices
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Tatum's performance wasn't from a movie, but a "Sweet Nothings" video that marketers for his new film, "The Vow," posted on Facebook in advance of its opening last weekend. It worked: The romantic tear-jerker blew past expectations to open at No. 1 with $41.2 million in North American ticket sales.
LOS ANGELES — Channing Tatum lowers his green eyes and stares at the camera.
Two years ago the film industry was largely perplexed by social media and how they would affect its business. Today, studios are embracing not just Twitter and Facebook but also more obscure sites like Instagram and We Heart It, adding them to traditional research and marketing tools such as comment cards at test screenings.
"Your friend wanted me to tell you that they think you're pretty awesome," the 31-year-old actor says. "And they love hanging with you."
Just this year, they've been credited with lifting the box office performance of "The Vow," early February's teen adventure
"Chronicle" and January's low-budget horror sensation "The Devil Inside." All of them were red hot on social networks and performed better on their opening weekends than predicted by traditional research based on telephone surveys.
Movies like "Midnight in Paris" and "The Artist" will never be Twitter phenomena. Studios are spending millions to chat directly with fans younger than 30 about upcoming movies and are paying a growing number of research firms to mine digital conversations for insights into which movies audiences are excited to see, which actors they like and whether new trafflers are landing with a splash or a thud. Some executives now receive weekly or even daily reports on the social media activity related to their films, alongside box office reports.
"If you have thousands of people talking about your movie, don't you want to know what they're saying?" said Ben Carlson, president of research firm Fizzziolo.gy.

RECRUITING
Track and field team signs seven recruits
The Kansas track and field team will be adding a group of seven talented athletes—two men, five women—to the 2012 recruiting class, said coach Stanley Redwine. Three of the women
are coming from Missouri, including standout spinner Tiana Valentine from St. Louis. Two distance runners, Jasmine Edwards from
Kearney, Mo. and
Redwine
Hannah Richardson of Kirkwood, Mo., will also join the Kansas program next season.
Another welcome addition to the team is middle-distance runner Rhaavean King from Memphis, Tenn. With three senior athletes graduating this year, there is certainly room for King to thrive during her first year on the team. She is Tennessee's defending state champion in the 800-meter race, and she has the fastest time in the state in the 400-meter race this year.
Lawrence native Lynn Robinson, a senior at Free State High School, will also run track and cross country for Kansas next season. Robinson was an all-state and all-regional selection in 2011, and she ran her personal best time in the 1,600-meter race at the Kansas Relays last April.
Only two men signed on for next year's men's team, but both athletes have been very successful on the track thus far. Drew Matthews is a middle-distance runner from Sammamish, Wash., where he ran the second-fastest 400-meter time in the state last year. The other athlete who signed is Ty Williams from Telluride, Colo., who is the 2011 Gatorade Colorado Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Year.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 12
thing about Drew is that he knows how to pitch the right way"
Morovick pitches against a Lipscomb team that finished 10th in the Atlantic Sun Conference last year, with a 19-36 record. Lipscomb's pitchers had an ERA of 4.90 in 2011, so Morovick should expect some run support in his first Kansas appearance.
Junior right-hander Thomas Taylor is the only Kansas starter in the Music City Classic with previous starting experience. Taylor made eight starts in 2011 with a 5-3 record and 4.74 ERA. Taylor is set to go against Belmont in Saturday's second game, but he will be Kansas' Sunday starter this season. Taylor brings the starting experience that will help Kansas close off weekend sets.
"I'm really excited about our weekend guys," catcher James Stanfield said. "Two of them haven't been weekend guys before; Thomas is the most experienced one of them all."

Junior center Jeff Withey, who won the national player of the week award on Tuesday, will be a primary reason if the Jayhawks challenge the Tigers for a conference title or falter in the final five-game stretch.
"When I'm playing at my best," Withey said. "Our team is unstoppable."
In the three games that followed his scoreless outing at Missouri on Jan. 4, Withey has averaged 20.3 points per game. His shot blocking and altering has terrorized opposing offenses. According to statsheet.com, Withey is third in the nation with a block percentage of 15.01.
"I love playing defense," Withey said. "I feel like it's a lost art."
Withey said that he can't forget about Texas Tech or Texas A&M just yet, but he also admitted that the rematch with Missouri on February 25 lingers in his mind.
"We definitely can win this league," Withey said. "Five more games, and then it's ours if we go to work and do what we're supposed to do. We can beat up Missouri."

I felt like a courageous and victorious knight as I listened to The Ride of the Rohirrim (LOTR) going into battle today. What was that battle? A French test.

It's like missing your period...stressful and unnecessary.
Okay, so we can't make fun of his
hops now. Are lawyers still fair game?
That awkward moment when you hiccup, but the sound emerges from the depth of your soul like some kind of monster.

I had the worst night of sleep last night, I was cold, uncomfortable, and there was a hippopotamus in my bed.
How do they make baby carrots, and while we are on that subject, how do they make baby corn.

This pasta is definitely not al dente.

You know that friend that picks you up after a night of shacking is going to be your bridesmaid one day.
My OCD has gotten so out of control that I live in constant fear of waking up and being Sheldon Cooper.
Every morning it takes a lot of will power to not break into the sororities and steal all their bacon.
I just freaked out for about 5 seconds that I don't have a seat belt in budig. Way too early.
What does it say about your life when
your therapist is standing you up?
My professor told me that in order to make my point more effective, it needs to be well rounded. Doesn't that make it pointless?
That moment when you worry it was your boyfriend who openly admits he cheated on his girlfriend in the FFA.
My horoscope just told me I could "coast to victory." I have a chemistry test tonight...I don't think coasting is an option.
Amazing how easy it is to detect in which disciplines are or aren't taboo to discuss smoking weed in class discussions
Aw, man. I'm sitting next to the ignorant atheists again.
I swear that my drier is actually alive and eats my socks just to ruin my day.

Syrian violence ignored in United States
During the last year, thousands of people have been killed in Syria by President Bashar al Assad's forces.
The United Nations was scheduled Thursday to consider a resolution on the violence in Syria. According to a CNN report updated Thursday, a draft of the resolution called on the Syrian government to immediately end human rights violations and attacks against civilians.
The Wall Street Journal reported Ambassador Susan Rice said she was "disgusted" by the actions of China and Russia, President Obama, who has expressed intentions to fully support the Syrian people against the oppressive Assad regime, claims the conflict can be resolved without resorting to military action.
While many of us enjoyed a relaxing Super Bowl Sunday this year, Syria reeled after an attack on Homs that weekend that killed over 200 people. The shelling of Homs by the government entered its thirteenth day Thursday, according to CNN.
By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
Sometimes I cringe at how easy it is to block all of the distant violence out of our minds as we go about our daily lives. I do it all the time. I certainly wasn't thinking about Syria while I watched Madonna's halftime show or when I ran my weekend errands. My friend and I got the news about the Security Council vote while in a coffee shop. We were very upset, but we still went out for pizza afterwards, blocking it from our minds for a while.
I notice two things happening here. We have developed an
understanding that the further something is in proximity to our daily lives,the less we can supposedly do about it at an individual level—so the less we should pay attention.
We also have become desensitized to violence through media. Sometimes the televised coverage of attacks on Syrian protesters is gruesome, but we do not react in the same way as if we saw something even half that atrocious happen in person.
What does this mean for human rights? In order to make a change to better society and protect the rights of disadvantaged or oppressed groups, the cause has always needed a significant amount of support to get anywhere. The Syrian people still have a large amount of support from the United States (both the government and its citizens) and elsewhere, but it's not the same kind of focused support as, say, an activist with direct ties to the people or the outcome has.
Nicholas Kristof's column in the Feb. 5 New York Times talked about the power of online activism and how the web provides tools for change to those whose voices would otherwise not be heard. But I have also heard complaints about how online activism perpetuates this "care
for five minutes" mentality. I can go online and sign a petition and feel like I did something to help a cause without taking further action that could make a bigger difference. Is this, coupled with our eroding concerns for distant issues, hurting human rights activism?
I'm not sure I have a decisive answer. I idealistically, and perhaps foolishly, believe that activists still make the world a better place. I also believe that caring for five minutes is better than not caring at all. I also think that if strong focus on specific issues on a higher level than five-minute activism continues to be eroded, the protection of human rights may become more difficult to assure.

ENTERTAINMENT
"Dirty Girl" introduces new, talented actors
"Dirty Girl" definitely lives up to its title and then some by providing wonderfully raunchy and comedic screenwriting which reminded me a lot of Diablo Cody's "Jennifer's Body."
By John Dillingham
jdillingham@kansan.com
This movie has the complete spectrum of performances, being the silver screen debut for Jeremy Dozier (Clark) and the first leading role for Juno Temple (Danielle). On the other hand, the cast has one of the best supporting teams I think I have ever witnessed, featuring film veterans, such as Mary Steenburgen, William H. Macy, Dwight Yoakam, and Milla Jovovich.
As stated before, this is both Ms. Temple's and Mr. Dozier's first real shot at the lime light, which I think they execute rather successfully. The chemistry between both actors really ties the film together and without it, the movie really would not have worked as well as it did.
Another highlighted performance that I found to be refreshing was Milla Jovovich's crack at comedy. We have all seen her dominate the sci-fi/ action world, but this is a new side of Jovovich, which almost stole the show. Jovovich plays Danielle's mom (Sue-Ann) who is a reformed version of Danielle herself, now betrothed to a hardcore Mormon (William H. Macy), trying to clean up both their acts.
With no way around it, Danielle fills the void of her long lost father with any boy coming her way. Yet her dirty ways don't fly at Norman East High School, banishing her to the remedial class, full of all the social abominations of the school.
two are forced into friendship. The two quickly become kindred spirits, uniting amongst daddy issues and social awkwardness.
This is where she meets Clark, a chubby, awkward gay boy just looking for acceptance. United by a bag of flour named Joan, the
While working together to help foster Joan, Danielle and Charlie stumble upon Danielle's mom's yearbooks and this is where the adventure begins; Danielle has found the identity of her father. Scored by her new holier than thou mother, and Clark tormented by his homophobic father, the dynamic duo set off to California to find her long lost father.
The film is fairly effective, though a little over ridiculous in its execution, trying to go for the shock value in a fairly un-shockable society. A good, fun film; nothing really to set it apart from the rest of the campy coming of age tales, I think for the beginners in the film it's not a bad first run, and am especially hopeful to see what happens in Juno Temple's career.
SAFETY
The script is what I enjoyed most about the film, while not grade A, it reflects the new and upcoming screenwriter Sylvia's potential and hopefully we will see that grow. If you are looking for a movie to pass that time, make you laugh, and drop your jaw every once in a while, "Dirty Girl" is the choice for you.

Protect your identity and information online
According to the Federal Trade Commission, there were over a quarter million identity theft cases reported in 2010. The most common method was email account hacking.
Identity theft can lead to having all of your bank accounts emptied, having credit cards or utilities opened in your name, or someone posing as you and committing crimes. Many people have no idea how to protect themselves from these attacks and essentially give their information away. The tools used for these attacks are well known and widely used. When you sit down at a book store or coffee shop, you may very well be a victim and never know it.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from attacks is through safe internet browsing practices. People connect their computer to millions of other computers every day. Wouldn't it be great if there was the equivalent of an internet condom to protect you from viruses, worms, trojans (malicious software posing as something benign), and identity theft?
Some of the best internet practices are to use HTTPS and network firewalls. When you buy something from an online store, you usually see HTTPS in the address bar followed by a lock icon. The HTTPS protocol encrypts all of the data you send. Firewalls help keep you safe by not giving an outside computer access to your system unless you let it. Firewalls also can allow you to lock down your own computer from sending information out when you don't want it to. You'd be amazed at how many legitimate programs on your computer try to call home and send personal information about

you to another computer without your knowledge.
More advanced users may use software such as anonymizers, secure tunneling proxies, virtual private networks, or TOR - The Onion Router. In all likelihood, many readers have never heard of any of these tools. You should They have been vital to the Arab Spring revolutions and free speech around the world.
These tools are not just used to hide your identity from prying eyes, they are widely used by corporations to protect secret information and have important uses that people should know about. Not only can they help prevent would be attackers from accessing your sensitive information, you may one day need them to coordinate activist or revolutionary operations if the government or corporations shut down access to websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Change.org, and independent media organizations such as Wikileaks.
Everyone should know to check for the HTTPS in the address bar before entering any important. Google now allows searching with HTTPS to prevent your search questions from being intercepted by your internet service provider or man-in-the-middle attacks. Anonymizers, proxies, SSH tunnels and ad blocking software such as AdBlock Plus for Firefox and Chrome help you navigate the internet without having your activities tracked by advertisement companies.
Why would you need something like this? You've got nothing to hide, right? Wrong. When was the last time you logged into Facebook at a coffee shop? Did you know that for years Facebook didn't offer HTTPS support? This means at any one of those times your username and password could have been stolen out of the air and you would have never known.
Many people use the same password for multiple accounts. An attacker who now has your Facebook password also has your email address stored in Facebook, which means you may have just given them your email account password.
If you have receipts, bills, or other passwords in your email, you may have just given them access to your bank account, bills, and address. You essentially handed them your entire identity to wreck, all because you wanted to post a quick status update. This is a very real danger, and can happen if you don't practice safe internet browsing.
Hopefully I've awakened some people to a digital world that goes on behind their back. It might be a wise choice to buy an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major a drink or lunch in exchange for them teaching you how to protect yourself, your identity, and your computer.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Coming off a tough victory at Kansas State, the Jayhawks should be able to catch a breath at home against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have two tough games ahead on their schedule, as they travel to Texas A&M and then face Missouri at home. They'll have to take advantage of the opportunity Texas Tech presents. The starters shouldn't have to play as many minutes as they have in their previous games. The team had an 81-46 victory over the Red Raiders on Jan. 11 in Lubbock, Texas, and should have a repeat performance Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, junior center
Could it be anyone else?
The Jayhawks' center has exploded onto the national scene lately and has shown no signs of looking back.
Against Kansas
Withev
State, Withey had 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks. The seven footer should have another strong performance against a Texas Tech team junior that will have to focus on stopping forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor. The Red Raiders will have no match for Withey, and his popularity will continue to grow.
QUESTION MARK
Where art thou, Elijah?
Many Kansas fans felt Elijah Johnson would have to be the third scorer for Kansas to be successful this year. Not so fast, as Withey has appeared to have taken over the role as the Jayahwks' third scorer. Johnson has struggled to get into any offensive rhythm lately. He'll have a good opportunity to pick up his play against a Texas Tech team that has one conference victory.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"I love playing defense. I feel like it's a lost art."
Jeff Withey, center
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Elijah Johnson has a big game. The junior guard has failed to reach double digit points in five of his last eight games and was scoreless in the 68-54 victory over Baylor on Feb 8. Coach Bill Self said his time is coming and Johnson said he's too good of a player for a streak of good games not to happen.
COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF
GAME
DAY
T. KABILA
Taylor
KANSAS (21-5, 11-2) STARTERS
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
Will it ever stop? Taylor continued his hot streak against Kansas State on Monday, scoring 20 of Kansas' 59 points. Taylor and the Jayhawks had their way against Texas Tech when the two teams last met. Tyshawn had 15 points and Kansas won by 35 points.
ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD
★★★★★
PETER RENNER
After scoring 11 points against Oklahoma State last week, Johnson returned to his scoring slump against Kansas State, scoring only five points. With Johnson shooting the ball poorly, look for the athletic guard to try to take the ball to the basket more often.
Releford
★★★☆☆
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Robinson
Releford continued his role-playing performance against Kansas State, as the forward finished with five points and six rebounds. He scored 12 points against Texas Tech last time the two teams played, and with the added defensive emphasis on Witney that Texas Tech is sure to bring, Releford should see more open shots and bigger numbers.
★★★☆☆
Look out. After Robinson "struggled" against Kansas State, only scoring 10 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, the star forward should explode against Texas Tech. The national media has said that Robinson has lost momentum in the player of the year race, which should make Robinson an angry Jayhawk come Saturday.
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
★★★★
B
EFF WITHEY, CENTER
NO. 4 KANSAS VS.TEXAS TECH 7 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE
It's official, Witheymania has hit Lawrence. The center has been on fire of late, reaping the benefits off opponents' added focus on Robinson. Withey had 18 points and 11 rebounds against Kansas State and should finish with similar numbers against the Red Raiders.
FIRST MEETS LAST RED RAIDERS FACE LONG ODDS
Withey
★★★★☆
TEXAS TECH (8-17,1-12) STARTERS
TY NURSE. GUARD
Nurse played the full 40 minutes in Wednesday's 47-38 defeat to Texas A&M and finished with six points, both on three-pointers. He averages 8.6 points this season and has started 18 games for Gillispie. He was held scoreless in the first meeting with Kansas in 32 minutes of action.
Nurse
PETER SCHMIDT
★★☆★★
JAVAREZ WILLIS, GUARD
Willis is sometimes the best scoring option for the Red Raiders, who have struggled to score all season. He's started all but one game on the year and is the team's third leading scorer with eight points per game. He's capable of having a huge offensive game Saturday but isn't immune from a poor performance,either.
PETER HOLMES
LUKE ADAMS, GUARD
★★★☆★
Adams
Adams is listed at just 5-foot-9 but has started four games this season as including Wednesday's defeat to Texas A&M, when he went one-for-five on the field in 35 minutes of action. He had three points against Kansas on Jan. 11 in seven minutes.
★★☆☆
JORDAN TOLBERT. FORWARD
Tolbert is one of five freshman on the Red Raiders and has started 23 of 25 games this season. He leads the team with 11.4 points in 23 minutes per game but had just four points in 16 minutes in the first meeting with Kansas.
Tolbert
★★★☆
ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI, FORWARD
A native of Overland Park and graduate of Blue Valley West High School, Lewandowski is the only Red Raider to start all 25 games this season. The senior averages 7.3 points and four points per game. He also struggled in the first game against Kansas, finishing with just two points.
JOHN WILLIAMS

★★★☆★
TEXAS TECH
TIPOFF
T
Javarez Willis, sophomore guard
AT A GLANCE
Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie's first season in Lubbock, Texas, hasn't gone as smoothly as he had probably hoped. The Red Raiders are 8-17 on the season and began the Big 12 season 01-1 before a victory over Oklahoma last Saturday. They're last in the conference in scoring with 60.2 points per game for the season. In the first meeting with Kansas on Jan. 11, the Red Raiders struggled to score in an 81-46 defeat at home. Gillispie's squad was unable to control Thomas Robinson, who finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds in the Kansas victory.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Willis
T
Willis is averaging eight-points on the season but has largely been inconsistent in Big 12 play. He's had double-digit points in five conference
games but has been held scoreless on four occasions as well. In the first game with Kansas, he led the Red Raiders with 12 points. His season high came last Saturday in the victory against Oklahoma when he finished with 21 points on an impressive 8-for-12 shooting day.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Red Raiders score enough?
As noted, Texas Tech is last in the Big 12 with just 60.2 points per game. They scored 38 points in Wednesday's defeat to Texas A&M. They haven't scored over 70 points in a game since Dec. 27 and have been held under 60 points on 10 occasions since, including four games under 50 points. The offensive woes were apparent in the first game against Kansas when they finished with 46 total points.
Prediction:
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"They basically played the same defensive roles that we play, they just played harder than us."
Kansas 83, Texas Tech 54

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Kansas loses focus. The Jayhawks beat the Red Raiders 81-46 last month in Lubbock and should have no problem having the same type of success tomorrow afternoon. With the Missouri rematch on the horizon, a lack of focus could result in a closer game than the fans, coaches or players want.

A:Darnell Valentine (1978-81)
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
kuathletics.com
Kansas wasn't supposed to be battling for a No.1 seed on February 17. You know the story by now: Four of last season's top five scorer's departed as well as five of the six leaders in minutes per game. Tyshawn Taylor was the only jayhawk returning with legitimate experience and the team had more pre-season question marks than any Kansas team in recent memory.
Fast forward nearly four months and those questions have been answered in positive tones for Kansas fans. Junior forward Thomas Robinson went from potentially great to the leader for the National Player of the Year award. Tyshawn Taylor has been playing like an All-American in conference games and an eighth consecutive Big 12 regular season championship is well within Kansas' grasps.
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
If the team does capture another conference title, that No. 1 seed would be a strong possibility, giving Kansas one of
the (potentially) easiest roads to New Orleans and the Final Four. However, there's a steep hurdle the Jayhawks would have to clear if an early April trip to the Big Easy is in store: exhaustion.
Coach Bill Self has four players-Tyshawn Taylor, Thomas Robinson, Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford-playing at least 30 minutes per game. On the surface, the rotation consists of seven or eight players, but Self insists it's actually only six. Senior guard Conner Teahan is the only non-starter playing 11
minutes or more per game and he's the only bench player to even be remotely trusted in a late-game situation.
"If those six are playing really good, I guess it's positive," Self said Thursday. "If we get in bad foul trouble it may be negative. I don't know."
The lukewarm response tells you all you really need to know. Coaching is as much psychology as it is X's and O's and no team wants to hear their coach isn't confident in its ability to overcome tired legs in March.
But Self certainly didn't strike down the notion that a limited bench could be a problem next month. Tyshawn Taylor even told Self before Monday's game at Kansas State that he's "worn out."
KU
If history is any indication, Self's team won't be able to stay fresh in next month's NCAA tournament. In the last 10 seasons, only seven Final Four teams have had four or more players average 30 or more points, a whopping 17 percent.
No championship team has met that criteria in that time span, either.
It won't be a choke job, as many will call it that.
The truth is, Self and his Jayhawks have no business being discussed as one of the nation's best teams. But here they are, in line for another No. 1 seed and the team's only legitimate bench player is a former walk-on who leads one of the worst benches Self has ever had.
Enjoy the rest of the regular season and the potentially eighth consecutive Big 12 championship. But don't be surprised when March is another heartbreaker.

COMMENTARY
During the Big 12 season there's not a lot of games you can write a 'W' next to the schedule before the two teams even lace it up.
There are a couple of reasons why I'm fairly certain the game versus Texas Tech (8-17) will not be much of a contest.
First, the Jayhawks (21-5) thoroughly dominated the Red Raiders in the first matchup in Lubbock, Tex., on Jan. 11 with an 81-46 victory.
Also, coach Billy Gillispie and the Red Raiders have struggled to find consistency on both ends of the floor, especially offensively.
And in their last game on Tuesday, Tech lost to the once Big 12 favorite but now bottom-feeder Texas A&M 47-38.
With all that said, it's clear this Saturday's game will be the jayhawks final chance to get some bench players the experience they need in order to become contributors down the stretch, and create some much needed depth.
Reserves may have their shot
The Jayhawks have that scenario in play when the Red Raiders come to town tomorrow.
What Kansas lacks more than anything is a second ball handler when Tyshawn Taylor takes a very rare breather.
But after that, the Jayhawks still have some holes to fill.
Senior guard Conner Teahan remains the only genuine player to see extended playing time, and really the only bench player Kansas coach Bill Self has shown some faith in.
This game would be the perfect opportunity for Tharpe to gain some important Big 12 understanding, and help create some essential steadiness if Taylor's having an off night.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson continues to be OK, but he hasn't shown enough for Self to put total confidence in him handling the ball.
Clearly I'm nitpicking with this column, but that's what you have to do when you see the possibility of a great team.
No question, the Jayhawks have a talented starting rotation, with Taylor, Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey competing at All-American levels.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Sophomore forward justin Wesley and junior forward Kevin Young must also show they can be capable backups if junior forward Thomas Robinson gets into foul trouble, but nothing more.
Through 26 games, Tharpe's role has not extended past being subbed in when the "Rock Chant" starts to bellow through the Fieldhouse.
But come March all of that might not matter unless you have depth. Some crazy things happen during the tournament, and Kansas knows this better than any team.
Young appears to be separating himself from Wesley, but I think both of them could have an impact, especially if they can establish any kind of physical presence inside.

CAMPERS FUME OVER RULE Dissenters claim they had no idea despite early notice
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Camping for men's basketball games is a sacred tradition at the University. And similar to any other tradition, when an individual tries to change it, the change is often met with strong resistance.
This year, the camping organizers implemented a change in which the groups who missed no more than one lottery would get rewarded with priority entrance for the Missouri game.
"Everyone is angry at me, but I'm not dictating anybody," said Trey Johnson, a junior from Leesburg, Va., and head of the lottery. "It's not some rule that I just pulled out of thin air."
Johnson said only two of the 57 who camped on Wednesday voted against this change.
At the first four camping games this season, the issue of whether or not a reward should be given to groups who come to all the games came up, and the students who were camping agreed it would be a good idea.
"At the time, when I voted for it, I thought it was a good thing," said Mike Bull. Wichita senior. "It rewarded the groups that were willing to show up to every lottery
throughout the season, whether we were playing K-State or Townson"
The problem with establishing this rule during the first camping games is that not everyone camps then. Camping usually isn't necessary to get good seats early in the season.
Mark Gordon, a freshman from Wausau, Wis., said his group consists mostly of freshmen from out of state. "We didn't know that much about camping or the lottery, which would've hurt us in this case," Gordon said. "Also, being out of state, for the Baylor game, a lot of us weren't in town for the lottery at 8 a.m. Sunday, because we were all flying back."
After the word spread, angry students took to twitter to air their grievances. They created a hashtag, #savelottery, to spread their message, and bombarded the official twitter for camping, @KU_ BBallCamping, with tweets.
know they were the same people and left them off the list of 24 groups who might get priority entrance.
Jenna Jakowatz (@
JennaJayhawk) tweeted "the reward of camping is the 5 banners in Allen Fieldhouse. U don't change tradition bc u think ur entitled to better seats #saveletty."
Some camping groups switched up their group name on a weekly basis, and with different names each week, the organizers did not
Those who were included in the top 24 feel they should be rewarded for all the time they've spent camping out for all the games.
"Personally, I thought it was right because me and my group have camped all season long, for not just conference games, but games at the beginning of the season last semester," said Hadley Sis, a sophomore from Seattle. "So for us to be rewarded for the work that we've done, I think that's fair.
The current plan is to hold a vote on the morning of the Missouri lottery, and the students in attendance will decide whether or not the groups who camped for every game will be rewarded.
"I'm not going to make one decision for everyone by myself at all. I don't want to. Either way the voting goes is what I'm going to do. Yeah, it does suck for the people that did get a vote at the beginning of the year, to have people who didn't argue about it later on," Johnson said.

The jayhawks play four games in three days against Middle Tennessee State, Bowling Green, Belmont and Lipscomb. Three Kansas pitchers are due to make starting debuts in the weekend series.
Kansas baseball is set to debut their new-look starting rotation this weekend at the Music City Classic in Nashville, Tenn.
After spending his entire freshman season as a relief pitcher, sophomore Frank Duncan will make his first career start for Kansas on Friday against Middle Tennessee State. In 2011, Duncan
"I'm sure they're excited, but at the same time I'm sure they're nervous," coach Ritch Price said. "What we're looking for as a coaching staff is how they respond to the pressure of playing in their first Division I game."
"It's pretty special for me coming from being a relief pitcher last year and seeing a lot of good players leave," Duncan said. "I have some big shoes to fill, especially on Friday nights but I think I'm up for the challenge."
posted a 0-3 record with a 3.09 earned run average in 24 relief appearances. Despite never starting at the collegiate level, Duncan is not shying away from the new responsibility.
Duncan will face All-Sun Belt Conference first baseman Justin Guildry. In 2011, Guildry led Middle Tennessee State with a .349 batting average, four homers and 39 runs scored. Kansas hitters will go up against the Blue Raiders' junior pitcher Hunter Adkins, who struggled last season with a 2-9 record and 5.44 ERA.
The weekend's starting rotation also features a pair of freshmen making their first Kansas appearances. Freshman pitcher Wes
The other freshman, Drew Morovick, makes his Kansas debut on Sunday against Lipscomb. Morovick is a 6-foot-6 right-hander from Hemet, Calif., but despite the Sunday start, he will be the Jayhawks regular Tuesday starter.
"He has a tremendous upside, great gifts and has a great future in the game even beyond KU as he continues his development," Price said.
Benjamin from St. Charles, Ill., takes the mound against Bowling Green on Saturday morning. The lefthanded Benjamin already has his coach excited for what he can bring to the Kansas pitching staff.
"He brings great maturity to the table," Price said. "He's a very poised young man with great size and tremendous upside. The main

Self tells his team to keep eyes on Big 12

As each game in the Big 12 passes, coach Bill Self marks a fresh score on a board in the team's film room. Self invites his players to look at the board, a constantly updated list of the conference standings. Heading into the weekend, No. 4 Kansas (21-5, 11-2) is tied with No. 3 Missouri atop the Big 12 with an 11-2 record.
Self doesn't encourage his team to ponder other teams' schedules, but he firmly believes in the importance of the standings. After all, the standings will eventually determine the Big 12 regular-season champions.
As the Jayhawks prepare for to morrow's 7 p.m. game at Allen Fieldhouse with last-place Texas Tech (8-17, 1-12), the Jayhawks
"I talk about it with my guys every day," Self said. "We take great pride in looking at that stuff."
know they can't afford to overlook the Red Raiders, a team that sits in the cellar of the conference standings.
Self compared this portion of the season to the last few minutes of a game. With five games remaining on the team's Big 12 schedule, the potential influence of each game is extrapolated.
"You make a mistake now," Self said, "there may not be time to come back."
First-year coach Billy Gillispie guides the Red Raiders, a team that has lost all six of its conference-road games this season. Despite Texas Tech's struggles, Self said that Gillispie has already improved his young group since the last time these teams met in Lubbock, Texas on Jan. 11, when the Jayhawks won 81-46.
"They'll come in here and try to muddy it up." Self said.

Adding alcohol to grocery lists
Ryan Urban, owner of Mass Beverage, said he expects half of the states' approximately 700 liquor stores will close if the bill passes and that he has already begun looking for alternative business options.
"This entire thing is an attempt by large corporations to change the law to benefit their bottom line," Easley said.
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
Loug Jorgensen, director of the Kansas Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control division and who is neutral on the bill, said he expected about 2,000 additional establishments would apply for liquor licenses if the bill passed. Because of that competition increase, Easley says he worries about the livelihood of Kansas' liquor stores, which are primarily family-owned small businesses.
"Someone has to go out of business," Easley said.
An effort to modernize Kansas liquor laws has sparked controversy around the state. In early February, a Kansas State Legislature House committee heard debate on a bill that would expand the sale of alcohol to retail stores. House Bill 2532 would make grocery stores more competitive in the alcohol market, squaring liquor stores and grocery stores against each other.
Opponents of the bill, like Matt Easley, general manger of On the Rocks Liquor Store at 1818 Massachusetts St., say the bill only benefits grocery stores.
Supporters of the bill, largely presented by Uncork Kansas, a coalition of state grocery stores and convenience stores, said the bill benefits consumers because it gives them the convenience of buying alcohol in the same place as other groceries.
Opponents also argue that large grocery stores can't prevent the sale of alcohol to minors as easily as liquor stores can. Easley said grocery
store clerks will have a harder time checking customers' IDs because most transactions in a retail store do not need age verification.
"In a liquor store, every transaction is age-restricted." Easley said.
Easley is also worried that 18- to 20-year-old employees would sell alcohol to their friends.
"it's bad for the community to have 18-year-olds selling hard alcohol" Easley said.
Sheila Lowrie, Dillons communication coordinator, said Dillons has stores in states like Nebraska and Missouri that sell full-strength alcohol, so the company is familiar with the procedures to prevent alcohol sales to minors.
"Our stores have the knowledge and training." Lowrie said.
She said most grocery stores are prepared to check IDs because they already sell age-restricted items, like lottery tickets, tobacco and low-alcohol beer.
Jorgensen said a tight budget has already taxed the Alcohol Beverage Control's ability to enforce the law. He said the agency would acquire a $1.4 million operations cost and need 18 additional staff members if the bill passed because of administrative work associated with additional stores applying for liquor licenses.
Along with state liquor stores, alcohol awareness groups and churches oppose the bill. In the committee hearing on Feb. 8, representatives from various groups argued that allowing retail stores to sell full-strength alcohol would increase availability and thereby increase consumption.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Urban said he believes consumers will suffer if the law passes. Urban, who worked as a sales representative for Southern Wine and Spirits before opening Mass Beverage, said that stores in states with modern liquor laws lacked the wide selection and product knowledge that liquor stores typically have.
=Fighting for tenure=

University professor Albert Romkes is filing a lawsuit against the University after being denied tenure last year. Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, told Romkes that the reason he was denied tenure was because he was not a principal investigator on any externally funded grants.

University alumni are supporting a mechanical engineering professor who filed a lawsuit against the University after he was denied tenure.
Pamphlets and posters defending the professor, Albert Romkes, were distributed late last week, which brought more attention to the case. The University maintains that nothing wrong was done.
In the fall of 2010, Romkes, an assistant mechanical engineering professor, applied for tenure.
On the school level, he received unanimous support; only Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering dissented.
"The dean really narrowed the issue to the fact that I was not a P.I., prl.cipal investigator on any externally funded grant," Romkes said. "Which was surprising to me that

The University Promotions and

> Candidates are evaluated on:

Service (participation in school committees)
Research
On the department level, he was recommended by a majority except for the chairman, Ronald Dougherty, who Romkes said dissented because he did not have enough funding or articles published without his mentors.
More facts on tenure: Committees recommend candidates for tenure. The chancellor makes the final decision, which cannot be overturned.
"To me it was clear that there was some personal issue for the dean and the chairman to go against me," Romkes said. "I had no idea what it was, except for one potential issue. The gav issue."
The Primary Investigator criteria was adopted in 2009. It says a professor must be the primary investigator on externally funded grants.
that was critical. It had never been an issue for anyone before."
Romkes wrote a rebuttal asking why the dean singled out the one specific issue and disregarded the rest of his record.
Romkes said he introduced his colleagues to his partner after he began working at the University and brought him to social functions.
Although his sexual orientation was never an issue for his colleagues or students, Romkes said he can't exclude it as the reason he was denied tenure.
"But the fact that statistically, it is impossible that I am the only one tells you a little bit about the environment and how open it really is", Romkes said.
Bell did not respond to a request for comment and Dougherty said to contact Jill Jess, director of the KU news service. Jess issued a statement via email that said the department chair, the dean, the University
Promotions and Tenure committee and provost recommended Romkes not be tenured because he failed to meet University research standards. She also said the University does not discriminate and no charges regarding discrimination were filed.
The University Committee of Promotion and Tenure, or UCPT, also voted to deny Romkes tenure, citing the PL. Rule.
Professors in Romkes' position are given two weeks to either appeal the decision of the UCPT to the Faculty Rights Board on the grounds of a procedural violation or appeal directly to the chancellor. Although Romkes said he was looking for a violation, he was unable to find evidence during the time period and felt writing to the chancellor was his only option.
On April 15, Romkes was told he did not get tenure and would be given a year to find another job before he would have to leave the University.

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, speaks to supporters at a rally held at Union Station Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.
Ron Paul pledges to end foreign wars
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
More than 2,000 Ron Paul supporters came out to see their candidate speak at a campaign rally held Saturday evening at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo.
"It looks like the revolution has arrived." Ron Paul said upon seeing the cheering crowd. "It gives me a great sense of confidence that we are winning the battle."
In his 36 minute speech, the libertarian-minded Republican presidential candidate spoke about defending freedom, balancing the budget and bringing U.S. troops home from foreign wars.
Paul also spoke of the need for citizens to assume responsibility for themselves rather than expecting the government to take care of them. The rising cost of the entitlement system has led the United States to be the biggest debtor nation in the history of the world, he said.
"Remember, freedom is popular." Paul said as his closing remark.
"We have to convert the sentiment of this country, and the sentiment has to concentrate on one issue. That is, the defense of liberty." Paul said.
Paul pledged to end foreign wars, where more than 9,000 U.S. troops have been killed and another 44,000 have been injured. Repealing the Patriot Act as well as the 'War on Drugs' were steps he would take to restore the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, he said.
Youth for Ron Paul, a student organization on campus, volunteered at the event. With a mailing list of over 1,500 students, the group is the largest Ron Paul
Toward the end of the speech, Paul noted the diversity of supporters attracted to his ideas of liberty and limited government, both young and old.
student group in the country. Approximately 15 members assisted with the event.
Alexandria Freeze, a junior from Phoenix, said she agrees with Ron Paul's views on a non-interventionist foreign policy. At the event, she helped collect supporters' information for the campaign with hopes of spreading the word.
Nicolas Wilson, a junior from Topeka who attended the rally on Saturday, sees Ron Paul's approach of focusing on delegates at caucuses as beneficial to the campaign in the long run, especially in the case of brokered Republican convention.
"I feel like young people are more open to change and can accept radically different ideas," Freeze said.
The event was an effort to rally support for the upcoming Kansas and Missouri caucuses, held March 10 and 17, respectively.
"Ron Paul stands up for positions supported by the people, but not mainstream politicians," Wilson said.

MONTERREY, Mexico - A fight among inmates led to a prison riot in northern Mexico that killed 44 people Sunday, a security official said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nuevo Leon state public security spokesman Jorge Domenez Zambrano said the iron broke out at about 2 a.m. in a high-security section of a prison in the city of Apodaca outside the northern industrial city of Monterrey.
Several inmates attacked others, and the fighting then spread and blew up into a riot, Domene said. Forty-four people died before authorities regained control of the prison a couple of hours later, he said.
A child yells out for her father at the Apodaca correctional state facility in Apodaca, Mexico Sunday.
Families of the prisoners gathered outside the prison pushing at the fences and shouting at police to demand word of the victims.
Deadly fights happen periodically in Mexico's prisons as gangs and drug cartels stage jail breaks and battle for control of penitentiaries, often with the involvement of officials.

Territorial tension between North and South Korea
KOREA
PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea will launch "merciless" strikes if South Korea goes through with planned live-fire drills near their disputed sea border, a North Korean officer said Sunday, amid persistent tension on the divided peninsula.
North Korea doesn't want a war but its people are always ready to "dedicate their blood to defend their inviolable territory," officer Sin Chol Ung at the North's Korean People's Security Forces told The Associated Press.
"We are monitoring every movement by the South Korean warmers. If they
provoke us, there will be only merciless retaliatory strikes," Sin said.
South Korea will stage regular one day artillery drills Monday from frontline islands off the western coast, including one shelled by North Korea in 2010, according to Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff. It said South Korea informed North Korea of its training plan on Sunday.
Soon after, the North's military issued a statement warning of the strikes and urging all civilians living or working on the islands to evacuate before the drills start.
a premeditated military provocation to drive the overall situation on the Korean peninsula into the phase of war," a North Korean western military command said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
The North frequently issues similar rhetoric against South Korea, but the latest warnings comes as ties between the Koreas remain tense following the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in December.
South Korea has barred all of its citizens, except for two private delegations, from visiting to pay respects to Kim, and North Korea has vowed to retaliate.

DAKAR, Senegal — Protesters demanding the departure of Senegal's aging president on Sunday seized control of a three-block stretch in the heart of the capital, erecting barricades and lobbing rocks at police just days before a contentious presidential poll.
Senegalese protesters demand removal of president
It marks the fifth day of violent protests ahead of the country's crucial vote.
Hundreds had gathered outside a mosque as religious leaders met to discuss a Friday incident in which police used grenade launchers to throw tear gas down the wide boulevard, at one point hitting the wall of the mosque.
On Sunday morning as the crowd outside the mosque grew larger, a truck of riot police took a defensive position at
one end of Lamine Gueye Boulevard, and the dozens of youths erupted in jeers. They then grabbed cinderblocks from a nearby construction site, smashing them on the pavement in order to make smaller projectiles which they hurled at police. Security forces responded with waves of tear gas.
They sparred for more than one hour and by then, the protesters succeeded in seizing control of a three-block stretch of Lamine Gueye, one of two main commercial avenues traversing downtown Dakar.

Anti-Putin protesters drive with ribbons in Moscow
MOSCOW — Hundreds of cars circled central Moscow during an opposition demonstration on Sunday to demand that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin allow free elections in Russia.
As they traveled along the wide Garden Ring, which makes a 16-kilometer (nearly 10-mile) loop around the Kremlin, the cars flew the white ribbons and balloons that have become a symbol of the peaceful anti-Putin protest movement.
two weeks before the presidential election, which Putin is expected to win. Although none of his four challengers poses a serious threat, Putin does need to get a majority of the vote to avoid a runoff.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend a pro-Putin rally in Moscow on Thursday, a national holiday.

and said he was alarmed to hear that he would be losing a colleague because of the PI. rule, which he had never even heard of.
"When they rejected him because of the silly Pi. thing, I couldn't believe it, because he's at the heart of projects that vastly eclipse just about any center funding that we've got right now," Barrett-Gonzalez said.
During Romkes' two-week window of finding proof, Barrett-Gonzalez tried to look up the P.I. rule in the UCPT guidelines. Barrett-Gonzalez said he repeatedly asked the dean's office to provide the rules for UCPT for him to look over, but he eventually had to file a Kansas Open Records Act request to get them.
"It took seven weeks and $103 to blast the official rules out of the dean's hands," Barrett-Gonzalez said.
When he got the records, they indicated that the P.I. rule had never been approved by the necessary committee. Although Romkes brought the issue to the attention of the UCPT and chancellor's office, he was told the chancellor's decision was final.
One of the few positives of the sequence of events was the reaction of his former students, Romkes said. He estimates that 40 to 50 students wrote letters to the chancellor defending him. One of those students was Eric Bayerschen, who came to the University in August 2010 as an exchange student.
Bayerchen said Romkes helped set up the exchange program between his school and the University, aided him in the application process and picked up him up at the airport. Romkes also advised Bayerchen on what classes to take, helped him procure a tutoring job and oversaw his independent research project.
"I personally cannot understand that a teacher and researcher who is so devoted to his job, so devoted to support his students, so devoted to ensure the best possible education for them, and so devoted to guide and advise them on their way through the studies in a way that makes the studies unique for a lifetime, is denied tenure on formal reasons of money," said Bayerischen, who is now a doctoral student in Germany.
Alumni have organized a group, KU Alumni for Romkes, that has a website and Facebook group. Last week, the group started distributing pamphlets and hanging posters around campus.
Joe Lauth, a senior from St. Louis, hopes to help the group and get more students involved.
"He was a tough teacher and the class was a good deal of work, but I really enjoyed the class and certainly appreciated his teaching style as well as his personality." Lauth said.
Engineering, most of his colleagues have not made him feel welcome.
Others have been less supportive of Romkes. He said that although he has a few supporters in the School of
"They all pretend that nothing happened," Romkes said. "I'll be honest, I find that the worst, because I walk down that hallway every damn day as if nothing happened. 'How are you doing?' How do you think I'm doing? I made an effort for six years,
an honest effort to play by the rules and I got thrown out. And you don't call a foul here?"
Romkes and Barrett-Gonzalez both said they hoped the proceedings bring changes to the University's tenure process policies. Reforms they would like to see include providing candidates a copy of the criteria they
will be evaluated on, giving a larger window of time to appeal to the chancellor or Faculty Right's Board and giving candidates a chance to apply for tenure again, a rule which was removed from the University's guidelines several years ago.

Friends and family mourn the death of pop singer
NEWARK, N.J. — Whitney Houston was honored at her home church in Newark on Saturday both for her New Jersey roots and for her international impact on the music and entertainment industries.
Police stood by during Whitney Houston's funeral Saturday. Paramedics found the 48-year-old singer unconscious in her hotel suite bathtub on Feb. 11.
Singer Bobby Brown, Houston's husband, arrived at the church as the service was beginning and walked inside. He emerged five minutes later and got back into his black SUV and left, appearing upset.
The service lasted nearly four hours and ended with a sermon by Pastor Marvin Winans, a Houston family friend, before the coffin was carried out to a recording of "I Will Always Love You."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Security guards were saying the people who arrived with Brown would have had to sit apart from him. Instead, Brown left and appeared upset. The pair were married 15 years and have one daughter.
Their tumultuous relationship ended in 2007.
Brown later released a statement, saying he left because security had asked him to move three times, despite the fact that he had been invited to attend.
"In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene," the statement said. "This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how."
After the service, the Rev. Al Sharpton said he was happy the event took place in a church.
"We are all real shaken to have lost Whitney, but I think by coming to the church where she started, with her mother and daughter, it gave us a renewal of things she lived by. To do this in a church brought us back to who Whitney was," said Sharpton.

Obama's new budget will hurt economy
If Charlie Sheen was a Jayhawk bball player how many championships would we win? *bwinning* # bwinning
POLITICS
President Obama laid out his budget for the 2013 fiscal year on February 13, and it is fair to say that he shouldn't expect many Valentines from many of the Americans that employ a large percentage of U.S. workers.
In his budget, the president set out plans to enact the "Buffett Rule" which plans to ensure that Americans making over a million dollars a year will pay a minimum effective tax rate of at least 30 percent. The budget is nothing more than a campaign document; the president is planning to pit himself against Mitt Romney, who increasingly looks like the Republican nominee-to-be. But if looked at with a close eye, it is clear that this President's fiscal record is historically poor.
Within his $3.8 trillion budget, President Obama proposed generating $1.7 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years largely by ending Bush tax cuts for families making more than $250,000, restoring the estate tax to its 2009 level, 45 percent, and limiting
subsidies for oil and gas companies. The president has set the scene for a campaign year piece of political class warfare that he hopes to ride to victory in November. But let's look at the facts and figures that aren't outlined by the White House.
Why do people complain about government spending? Could it be that this administration has
"Giving money to our government hasn't proven to make much sense."
raised spending to historically high levels? The federal government has spent more than 24 percent of GDP for the past four years. That is the highest since World War II. On top of that, the president predicts spending will grow even higher, to around 24.3 percent of GDP.

bmccroy@kansan.com
The European debt crisis has been built on fiscal planning of a similar nature. According to the Wall Street Journal, this budget will also run a deficit of $1.3 trillion in 2012, if that is true, the United States will have had a deficit of at least $1.29 trillion four years in a row for the first time ever. This accounts to a $5 trillion debt during this presidential term, an astounding figure.
However, the only debt that must be paid back, national debt held by the public, is a much more tangible indication of our nation's debt as a percentage of the GDP. That will reach 74.2 percent this year and rise to 77.4 percent next year.
ers into reelection as long as he blames former President Bush, Republicans and the wealthy.
It should have been painfully obvious that the president didn't care about fiscal responsibility when he decided to push Obama care during one of the worst recessions this country has ever seen.
But our president claims that this bleak picture will change
if he is given another mandate by the voting public come next November. He believes that the sudden 17.8 percent rise in revenues, which is a fancy method of saying additional taxes in a way that won't upset most voters, won't hurt growth. Giving money to our government hasn't proven to make much sense. It simply takes money away from potential private employers and consumers so that the national government can do things like pay contractors in Afghanistan billions of dollars to build half-completed gravel roads.
This administration can't face the facts. We will hear the same sort of excuses for this horrible fiscal record. We'll hear about how Bush gave this to us and how we should blame Republicans etc. If that were true, then how was it that federal outlays were never above 20 percent of GDP under President Bush and national debt held by the public was never above 39 percent? The facts are that President Obama believes that he can fool vot-
His supporters will point to some of his accomplishments as we get closer to November, most importantly his end to the war in Iraq. They'll claim that ending the war will save the fiscal well-being of this nation. These people will fail to realize that the amount of money this nation spends on defense pales in comparison to what we spend on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Perhaps the president should focus on reforming a dying system of elderly pension instead of cutting our nuclear arsenal by 80 percent.

Enter class with a good attitude for the professor
Every semester I have a professor that I do not like. A myriad of reasons exist for this; they show up late for class, I can hear their spit as they talk, or they organize the material in a way that is impossible for me to grasp. I could go on, but I know this is an unspoken thought of many students; otherwise websites like ratemyprofessors.com would not exist.
When it comes down to it, I wish someone had talked to me
By Jon Samp
jsamp@kansan.com
I once took an English class that filled me with hatred and spite. Although this hate was unjust, I was filled to the brim with it. My professor was always late and talked to us like we were children. In a situation like this, there are two options: (1) I could talk to the professor about it, like a civil, mature student or (2) I could try to undermine everything she did. Of course, I chose the latter.
In class I would not take notes, but instead draw masterpieces filling the whole page to make it obvious that I would rather be doodling than to pay attention to what I thought was useless information.
In addition, I researched heavily into certain subjects for the sole purpose of asking my professor a question that would make her stumble to admit that she did not know the answer. These schemes made me feel powerful. Every class was a competition to see if I could beat my professor at her own game.
In classes this semester, I complain endlessly in my head about other students who make too many comments and are continuously trying to undermine the professor with outside information. If I hear one more person bring up creationism while learning about evolution in a science class, I might burst.
In retrospect, I realize that I was "that guy": the one who everyone wished would stop talking and should have stayed home if he disliked the subject that much.
about it. I never realized I was being so annoying and facetious. I was blinded by my own frustrations enough to miss out on learning something valuable from a professor that knows a lot more than I do or listening to another student's thoughts.
Toward the end of the semester I began to realize that I would never treat anyone else like this. Whether it is my friends, family, or even a stranger, it is downright rude to try to trip people up for the sole purpose of breaking their stride.
There is no faster way to drive someone away from you than to talk to them like they are a bad person. Yes, people do bad things, but that does not make us bad people. Everybody has two sides, a person that they are afraid they might be and a person that they hope to be.
If you want the best from someone, you must talk to them like the person they wish they were. That is not hard to understand, and it is not hard to understand why I struggled the whole semester in that English class.
In the end, I talked to my professor like a mature person would do and found that she was one of the better professors I have ever had. If there are annoying people in your classes, just talk to them. They probably do not understand how they are bringing the whole class down. As for your most despised professors, at least give them a chance by going to their office hours or talking to them like a mature person. You might surprise yourself.

Your classes should challenge you, which justifies a fair amount of effort and time and stress. It does not, however, justify pity parties, whiny social media updates, or public meltdowns. Remember, you signed up for this. And two or four or ten semesters later, you're still here, despite the rising costs of a college degree.
What I'm encouraging is easy to say, harder to do. I am just as guilty as anyone of getting bogged down in deadlines, requirements, and procrastination. I've spent the last few years trying to cram as much onto my resume as possible and bit off much more than I could chew.
I accepted responsibility that I didn't really want because I thought it would make me look like a more qualified candidate, a safer bet, a better person, to some faceless judge of fill-in-the-blank. And those were important experiences because in doing things you don't like you get closer to finding
money
the path you do want.
But college is about more than the projection of yourself on paper. Education involves experience of all kinds, especially the kind that challenges you and brings you closer to a passion or career.
ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN BENEDICK
"Education involves experience of all kinds, especially the kind that challenges you and brings you closer to a passion or career."
So take advantage of opportunities that arise and create ones that don't. Don't be afraid to ask questions and get creative, don't be afraid to bust your ass. Get connected on campus. Meet people; professors, advisors, peers and that cute guy two rows back. Make
friends, both the kind you party with and the kind you keep around after graduation. Get off campus as well, whether that means a semester abroad or an internship or just a road trip.
And while I'm at it, learn something about the world outside Lawrence, Kan. The best interview tip I was ever told was to pick up a newspaper and read. I understand that's a lot to ask from someone suffering from a grueling work/play schedule, but if you can't quite handle that at least get a Twitter and follow someone besides People magazine. Headlines are better than nothing, and you'd be surprised at how close to home some global news stories hit. At the very least, reading about other people's problems might make that midterm seem less tragic.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Kevin Young, junior forward
Young wasn't spectacular, but he also wasn't a mess. That's a big step for a player who used to aggravate coach Bill Self with his every move. On Saturday, Young finished with 10 points in 17 minutes. Six of those points came in just seven minutes played in the second half.

GAME TO FORGET
Tyshawn Taylor, senior guard
Taylor played spectacularly in the first half like the rest of his team, but in the second half, he was one of the main reasons why the Red Raiders cut into the lead. In 13 second half minutes, he missed both of his shot attempts and recorded three turnovers compared to just two assists.

MEN'S BASKET Not all about the starting five
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
mirothman@kansan.com
There are certain risks by entering March with a six-player rotation. The pains of fouls are magnified. An off night from one player can end a team's run. The worst sometimes just happens.
Going into Saturday's game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, coach Bill self had deployed his five starters, guards Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford, forward Thomas Robinson and center Jeff Withey, and his sixth man, senior guard Conner Teahan, for 88.7 percent of the team's minutes in conference play.
So once the Jayhawks found a comfortable lead against the Red Raiders, Self let some of the other guys loose.
"Balance is the key," Self said after the 83-50 victory. "The better that
Elijah, Travis and Conner shoot the ball and the better Jeff plays, it makes the game that much easier for Ty and Thomas."
Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe, who replaced Taylor not even eight minutes into the first half, played a conference-season high 12 minutes. Junior forward Kevin Young played 17 minutes, his second highest total of the season, and scored 10 points, six of which came in seven minutes played in the second half.
Jueneman hit all three of his shots, including a high arcing three-pointer from the center of the perimeter.
and Thomas was in the game, wed probably put Justin in. Hed probably be better defensively guarding a low post guy."
Those are calls Kansas fans have heard before. But on Saturday night, in those four minutes he played,
"I don't think it's any predetermined thing that we're going to go with him," Self said of Young's playing time in the future. "If they had two really good low post players
Growing pains were still evident among the less experienced group. Despite a few quick, accurate passes, Tharpe still found a way to peeve his coach. In the second half, Tharpe dribbed the ball at the top of the key without moving for a few seconds. Self, wondering the reason for the inactivity, called a timeout with 21 seconds left on the shot clock. He then asked Tharpe what was going on.
"It was a lot of fun," Teahan said of Juenemann's finale. "I think the whole team enjoyed it."
Self admitted after the game that Young is a more talented offensive player than sophomore forward Justin Wesley, however Wesley still remains the top backup as a post defender.
When senior guard Jordan Juenemann entered in the game's closing minutes, a group of girls from the student section screamed: "We love you, Jordan!"
Up on the video board, with the game out of hand and Juenmann knocking down shots, Self revealed a rare game-time smile. When the starters were through, the bench had their time, out-scoring Texas Tech's bench 31-10. While Self said it wasn't all pretty, his bench players logged valuable minutes. In limited time on Saturday, Tharpe made some of his best passes of the season. Young said he felt more comfortable on the court and Juenmann's shots said it all.
"Coach Self gave them the challenge to step up," Releford said. "Today I think they met that challenge."

GAME TO REMEMBER
Aishah Sutherland, senior forward
After starting out with only four points in the first half, Sutherland came out with a purpose in the second, scoring 19 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Sutherland has stepped up her game since the injury to Carolyn Davis averaging 19.7 points per game in the last three games. This was also Sutherland's third game this year with 10 made field goals She also had a career-high in attempts with 17.

Chelsea Gardner, freshman forward
This was Gardner's second start since Davis' knee injury, but the freshman from DeSoto, Texas, still could not find a rhythm in the Big 12 games. She received two quick fouls in the first half and only played 11 minutes against the Tigers. She finished with zero shot attempts and only grabbed two rebounds. At 6-foot-3 Gardner will be looked at as one the Jayhawks lone post players that can make an impact if they want to get a few more conference victories.

Davis mishap sums up week
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Sophomore forward, Tania Jackson, reacts to her basket against the Tigers during Kansas' game at home against Mizzou on Saturday afternoon. Jackson put up 11 points against the Tigers during the game.
The buzz inside Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon is usually reserved for the men's basketball team, but the women's squad drew a crowd of 6,402 in its final scheduled match-up against the Missouri Tigers.
The Jayhawks came out of the tunnel like normal, but behind the players walked junior forward Carolyn Davis, only six days after suffering a torn left ACL and dislocated knee.
Davis proceeded to walk around during warm-ups with the team, and then participated in the usual pregame t-shirt toss.
Caught in the moment of excitement, Davis decided to throw the t-shirt like she had several times before and planted her left knee.
After throwing the shirt, Davis
dropped to the ground, laying in a similar pose as she did six days before at Kansas State.
Jackson, a Lawrence native, also feels the pain of not getting this last regular season victory over Missouri for the University and the community.
"She went and got to the rim," coach Bonnie Henrickson said of Sutherland. "I talk to her all the time to feel good about herself because then her shots will start to fall."
It has been a difficult week for Kansas (17-9, 6-8 Big 12), but the team does not make any excuses for their play or the Davis incident.
The other key piece for the Jayhawks to stay within striking distance of the Tigers was sophomore forward Tania Jackson. When freshman Chelsea Gardner got into foul trouble early, Jackson stepped in and contributed 11 points and seven rebounds.
"The Kansas-Missouri rivalry is always big, and it's always been big growing up here," Jackson said. "It's disappointing that we lost. We just got to fight back. We got to focus on the next game and leave this one behind."
Either way, the Jayhaws have struggled, and it showed again, losing 70-65 to Missouri, a team that hadn't won a conference game before Saturday.
"I'm an energy kid," Jackson said. "I just got to come out there and be the Energizer Bunny."
"This one could hurt us. It hurts losing and right now," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We came back, but we dug ourselves a big hole."
The Tigers (11-14, 1-13) jumped out to an early 8-0 lead and never relinquished it. Their biggest offensive factor was three-point shooting.
After struggling in the first half, Sutherland came out strong in the second half, shooting eight of 10 from the floor and ending up with a game-high 23 points.
Missouri finished with a 57.4 field goal percentage and shot 58.3 percent from three-point range.
"Our defense is what killed us
"We have to put two halves on both ends of the floor together, we have some winnable games left," Henrickson said. "We still have a heartbeat, our heart is still ticking. We have to find a way to get one."
With only four games remaining, the Jayhawks must now scramble for a few victories. If not they might be looking at the same postseason fate as year's past: the WNIT.

The Kansas tennis team began spring dual play with the program's best start since 1992.
After dominating weekend dual matches against Bradley and Arkansas-Little Rock, the Jayhawks improved to 5-0 in its dual matches this season. The team swept Bradley, 7-0, on Saturday, and beat UALR yesterday, 6-1.
"We've got some tough matches coming next week," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "Being 5-0, we're pretty excited about the weekend and going into next weekend. We've got to keep on building and getting
after it in practice."
"We're ready to keep it rolling and we're ready to just keep improving," Dreyer said. "I think practices are really intense right now, and we're focused on going out there and getting every point of every match."
Fresliman Maria Belen Ludueña and sophomore Claire Dreyer remained undefeated in singles play after easy victories during the weekend. Both players also haven't lost a doubles match yet this season. Ludueña teamed up with sophomore Dylan Windom and Dreyer with junior Victoria Khanevskaya, respectively.
Ludueña and Windom didn't lose a single game in their doubles vio-

ries over Bradley and Arkansas-Little Rock, despite moving up to the No.1 doubles spot for both matches. Ludueha, a newcomer from Curico, Chile, has yet to lose a singles match in college tennis.
The lone loss on the weekend came yesterday for junior Monica Pezzotti at the No.1 singles spot. Pezzotti fell to UALRs Viktoriya Plyuta yesterday, 6-2, 6-4, and needed a third-set tiebreaker to take down Sarah Rodefeld of Bradley on Saturday.
Next week, the Jayhawks travel to Des Moines, Iowa, where they will face Drake and Montana in its first road dual matches of the season. The team begins its match against Drake at 5 p.m. Saturday, and will take on Montana at 11 a.m. Sunday.
"Yeah, it's great to get these wins under, but we've still got to keep building and we've got to come out and compete," Hall-Holt said. "It doesn't matter who we play, or what records they have. Everybody tends to gun after that Jayhawk."

Pitching shines in Charlotte Classic
SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
The Kansas softball team was declared the tournament champion after rain forced the cancellation of the final game against Stony Brook Sunday morning. Kansas (7-2) had a 4-0 record for the weekend and extended its winning streak to seven games.
"It feels awesome, but it feels right at the same time," junior Rosie Hull said. "All those games we should have been winning and it just shows we're on the track we're supposed to be on."
On Friday, the team defeated Middle Tennessee State 7-3, scoring five runs in the bottom of the first. Sophomore pitcher Kristen Martinez had no walks, allowed only six hitsl, and striked out seven. All three runs the Blue Raiders scored were home runs.
In its second game, against Charlotte, the team had 16 hits and ,the most since coach Megan Smith arrived at Kansas. After a four-run sixth inning for Charlotte, Kansas lost the lead and went into the seventh needing runs.
"Charlotte was the best game, the way we would answer and come back so quickly," freshman pitcher Alicia Pille said. "We just stepped up and did work and that's the attitude you have to have."
The Jayhawks survived, wrapping up the game 9-6 over the tournament host.
Saturday started with a 2-0 victory against Stony Brook led by Pille's shutout.
"Alicia came out and just dominated," Smith said. "She had really good command of her pitches. We were really happy with her performance."
Battling back once again in its second game Saturday, Kansas was behind 3-0 until a five-run fourth inning gave the team the momentum to win 6-3 against Middle Tennessee State. The Blue Raiders had three runs and four-straight hits at the start of the game.
"When we get to the Big 12 we will know what to do and know how to fight," Pille said. "It feels awesome to be able to do that now."
With junior Morgan Druhan on the mound after replacing Martinez, Kansas silenced the Blue Raider offense for the next six innings. Druhan ended the day with seven strikeouts and two walks.
"Morgan came out and had an excellent game," Smith said. "We had a rough start and she shut it down. She was throwing with a lot of confidence and she did an exceptional job."
Kansas will play in the Seahawk Classic hosted by University of North Carolina Wilmington, Feb. 24-26. The Jayhawks will start the weekend against Fairfield University at 9 a.m.

Freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin went seven innings, surrendering one run on just five hits in the Jayhawks' 3-1 victory over Bowling Green. In his first career collegiate appearance, Benjamin dictated the game with an aggressive attack of the strike zone.
"I tried to make it feel like it was just any other game," Benjamin said. "I thought it helped out a lot that I got a first-pitch strike most of the time, and it just worked out from there."
Kansas' starting rotation lacks the experience that coach Ritch Price normally prefers, but he was particularly impressed with Benjamin's first performance.
"I was really impressed with Benjamin. I thought his location was outstanding, and he mixed his pitches well," Price said. "Overall, I thought it was a very good debut
for a freshman."
This offseason, Price decided to move his best returning starting pitcher, junior Tanner Poppe, to the closer role. The risky decision paid off right away against Bowling Green, as the hard-throwing rightly pitched a perfect ninth to earn his first save of the season.
"It felt good to go out there," Poppe said. "Everyone wants to
"I thought his location was outstand, and he mixed his pitches well."
RITCH PRICE Kansas coach
throw in the ninth inning, so it's definitely a lot of fun to go out there when there's a lot of adrenaline going through you and giving it all you got."
The only returning starter to the Kansas rotation, junior Thomas Taylor, made his spring debut in Saturday's second leg against Belmont. Taylor pitched 8.1 innings, giving up no runs and three hits in the Jayhawks' 2-0 victory.
Similar to Benjamin's performance in the first game, Taylor consistently threw strikes and allowed the Bruins to put the ball in play. When the Bruins did connect with Taylor's pitches, an errorless Kansas defensive effort kept Belmont off the scoreboard.
"That was essential to this game," Taylor said. "If the defense didn't do that, there would have been more runs there, and I would have thrown more pitches, not getting deeper into the game."
Belmont is coming off a season in which the Bruins won 38 games in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. In 64 games in 2011, Belmont was only shutout three times, scoring close to seven runs a game; however, the Bruins had no answer to the Kansas.
"Coach Graves just wanted us to get deep into the game," Taylor said of his assistant coach. "And I wanted to attack the zone as much as I could."

Tharp's clutch performance helps Kansas in doubleheader
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tucker Tharp's contributions to the Kansas baseball team from Saturday's doubleheader went beyond what his box score reads. The junior outfielder went one-for-four with two RBIs in the first game against Bowling Green and one-for-five in the second against Belmont, but just saying that Tharp had an ok day going two-for-nine with two RBIs wouldn't do his contributions for the team justice.
In the first matchup against
Bowling Green, Kansas struggled offensively. The only offense Kansas had in the early innings was given to them by Belmont through walks or hit batters.
The Jayhawks fell behind 1-0 in the fourth inning and didn't even record a hit until the fifth.
"They had set the table for us quite a few times and we weren't able to get that clutch hit," coach Ritch Price said.
Tharp came to the plate in the eighth inning with the game tied 1-1 and the bases loaded and drove a 1-2 pitch into left field, scoring two runs.
It was all the offense the Jayhawks would need.
"I like to hit with people on base," Tharp said. "I think when you're struggling your team kind of bears down and they really focus on what they need to do."
Tharp also played a huge role in the second game in the afternoon against Belmont. With starter Thomas Taylor throwing an absolute gem on the mound, Tharp made sure Thomas' effort would not be left for nothing.
Trailing Kansas 1-0 in the sixth inning, Belmont had catcher Alec
Diamond on second with one out when center fielder Dylan Craig came to the plate. Craig ripped a single to Tharp and Diamond was rounding third look to score. Tharp threw a one-hop laser to the plate to nail Diamond and preserve the lead.
Tharp said he didn't know if he had Diamond at the plate when he threw it, but he knew he had a chance. Catcher James Stanfield handled the one hop and blocked the plate perfectly, leaving Diamond no chance to score.
"It just felt good," Tharp said. "I
was just glad to do it for Thomas, he deserves every bit of it"
Thomas didn't hide his excitement when Diamond was thrown out.
"That was amazing" Thomas said. "I think that was the first fist pump I've ever done in my life."
Instead of the game being tied at one and the home team taking all the momentum, the Jayhawks were able to escape trouble and get back into their dugout.
Coach Ritch Price was excited to see hard work pay off on the throw. Price said the biggest problem for
the team during fall practice was the outfield's defense and ability to throw.
"He's made really good progress defensively," Price said. "We do that drill two times a week."
The Jayhawks went on to win the game 2-0 and take both ends of the doubleheader.
Pitching ruled the day in both games, but Tharp stamped his name on both victories for the Jayhawks.

Durant yields career-high 51 points against the Nuggets
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored a career-best 51 points for the top performance in the NBA this season, Russell Westbrook added 40 and Serge Ibaka had his first career triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets 124-118 in overtime Sunday night.
Durant hit a 3-pointer and drove for a dunk to tie the game with 4.4 seconds left in regulation, then used the extra period to chalk up the first 50-point game of the two-time scoring champion's career.

Ibaka added 14 points, 15 rebounds and 11 blocks to become the 14th player in franchise history with a triple-double.
Ty Lawson, who missed a 3-pointer with 7 seconds left, also couldn't connect on an off-balance jumper from the foul line at the buzzer after pump-faking Westbrook into the air.
Fans in the sellout crowd chanted "MVP!" as Durant hit two free throws in the final seconds to surpass 50 points for the first time in his career and put the finishing touches on Oklahoma City's ninth straight win at home.
Westbrook hit a 3 on Oklahoma City's opening possession of overtime, and the Nuggets committed five turnovers to squander their chances in the extra period.

"There are two theories on catching the knuckleball... Unfortunately, neither of the theories work."

FACT
FACT OF THE DAY
With Tim Wakefield retired, Mets pitcher R A Dickey is the only active pitcher who throws a knuckleball.
MLB.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who drafted Tim Wakefield?
A: The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Tim Wakefield in 1988 as a first baseman. Once he saw that wasn't working out, he began developing a knuckleball.
MLB.com
THE MORNING BREW Remembering Wakefield's knuckleball
On Friday, Boston Red Sox knuckleballer, Tim Wakefield announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 19 seasons. The 45-year-old Wakefield, who played 17 seasons in a Red Sox uniform, made the announcement at the Red Sox's new spring training facility in Lee County, Fla. in front of a small crowd that included his wife and two kids and former teammates Kevin Youkilis, Josh Beckett, John Lackey, Jon Lester, Daniel Bard, Clay Buchholz and Derek Lowe.
"This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do," said an emotional Wakefield. "So it's with a heavy heart that I stand here today, and I'm saddened to say I've decided to retire from this wonderful game of baseball."
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
While his competitiveness and leadership will be missed greatly by the organization, players as well as the Red Sox catchers will be able to take a sigh of relief knowing they will no longer have to try to bit or catch Wakefield's baffling knuckleball.
Just ask three-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner, Jason Varitek who looked like he was trying to catch a butterfly with a catcher's mitt. I'll never forget a Red Sox game in 2006. After Varitek and backup catcher Josh Bard were both having problems catching Wakefield's knuckleball, the Red Sox acquired Doug Mirabelli, Wakefield's personal catcher who was one of the few that could successfully handle the fluttering knuckleball. Within the same day of being traded, just hours before game time, Mirabelli had a police escort from the airport, changed into his uniform in a car
and arrived at Fenway just in time to get behind the plate.
Then Boston had guys like Victor Martinez who, after experimenting with several different gloves, decided on a first baseman's mitt when Wakefield was on the mound.
Wakefield finished his career after 17 seasons with the Red Sox, good enough to put him right behind three of the franchise's greatest: Carl Yastrzemski (23), Ted Williams (19), and Dwight Evans (19). He ranks among the top in a number of franchise records; third in wins (186, just behind the franchise record of 192), first in appearances (590), starts (430), innings pitched (3,006), and second in strikeouts (2046).
The two guys with more franchise wins? Roger Clemens and Cv Young.
Even at 45, there's no doubt that Wakefield could've played another season or two because of the fact that he almost exclusively throws a knuckleball that is less taxing on the body, but when asked about the timing of his retirement
KU
I think Wakefield's former catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said it perfectly.
"He's at a time in his life where family is important, the kids are getting older, and he's accomplished everything anybody wanted to accomplish in this game. It seems right, after 200 wins last year, getting to that, to be with family now"
Mr. Wakefield, you've had quite the career and a World Series ring to go along with it. Go enjoy your time off, you deserve it.
Wakefield notched his 200th win on July 13 last season against the Toronto Blue Jays. It would be his final win of his career.

Zenger may have to choose
By Clark Goble
cgoble@kansan.com
Pretty soon,he'll have to make another: should he keep Bonnie Henrickson on as the women's basketball coach?
Athletics Director Sheahor Zenger made his first bigtime move by biring Turner Gill and hirting Charlie Weis to rejuvenate Kansas' football program.
Kansas lost to Missouri at home on Saturday afternoon, 70-65. Home losses are never good, but this one stings even more — the Tigers came into the game with an 0-13 conference record.
It's a horrendous loss that comes at the absolute wrong time for Kansas (17-6, 6-8).
Junior forward Carolyn Davis, a bona fide All-American candidate, suffered a dislocated knee and torn anterior crucial ligament on Feb. 12 at Kansas State.
The Jayhawks finished with 43 points in the loss to the Wildcats. Iowa State routed them on Wednesday. Kansas needed a home victory against a Big 12 doormat to gain some confidence after losing its best player to injury.
With Saturday's loss, Kansas sits, for seemingly the 38th season in a row, just on the outside of the NCAA Tournament. ESPN.com Women's Basketball Bracketology slots Kansas as an eight seed, but the predictions haven't been updated since last Monday.
A loss to a wristless conference team at home will probably take the Jayhawks off the bracket.
But here's the question: how much can you pinpoint this stretch on losing Davis for the season?
"This game hurts. This one is a dagger," Henrickson said in the postgame press conference.
It's an interesting question that Zenger will have to ponder over the next few months. He'll certainly have to examine the unique circumstances Henrickson team faced this season.
With Davis healthy, the Jayhawks were 17-6 overall with a 6-5 conference mark in arguably the toughest conference in women's basketball. Junior guard Angel Goodrich, senior forward Aishah Sutherland and Davis made for a pretty nice trio.
Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Henrickson is capable of taking the program to another level.
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.
The Jayhawks were poised to make the NCAA Tournament, finally escaping the binds of the WNIT.
The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.

Any worries Kansas fans had of a possible letdown in the rematch against Texas Tech Saturday night were quickly squashed, as the Jayhawks cruised to an 83-50 victory with four players scoring in double figures.
"Things didn't necessarily start off smoothly, however. The popular pre-game video shown before Kansas players are introduced failed to start, altering a part of the ever-consistent Allen Fieldhouse pre-game rituals.
"I didn't know what was going on," coach Bill Self said of the malfunction. "It was kind of a dower to me. I look forward to that every time."
With or without the video that often results in an Allen Fieldhouse volume decible reading in the triple digits, at least one person was worried about a sluggish start by Kansas against Texas Tech, a team that has proven to be inferior.
"It is not the way you want it to
"I think it's definitely something coach worries about," senior guard Conner 'Teahan said. "Especially today with that awkward introduction."

happen, obviously," Red Raiders coach Billy Gillispie said after the game, describing a pair of defensive miscues that led to the early onslaying of Kansas buckets.
The Jayhawks shot 57.7 percent in the first half and took a 44-22 lead to the locker room at halftime, led by junior forward Thomas Robinson eight first-half points.
The initial obstacle of not overlooking Texas Tech was a success, but not coming out flat in the second half was a new challenge. Is staying focused with a big lead difficult?
"I think it is for this particular group," Self said. "I think it's human nature, but we have shown over time that we're not the most mature team or handle prosperity that well."
Led by eight points and five rebounds in the second half by Robinson, Kansas kept Texas Tech at a comfortable distance for the remainder of the game. However there was a moment midway through the second half that made Self a little worried.
The popular "Pop Up Video" clip was airing during a timeout, this time highlighting Robinson. Out of the huddle and waiting for action to resume, the players' eyes were glued to the video board.

Kansas trailed Missouri the entire game but brought the margin back to three points with 1:15 left. But Kansas fell 70-65 at Allen Fieldhouse in the final regular-season installment of the Border Showdown.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the 'Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
The Jayhawks talk about examples of resiliency such as fighting a 15-point deficit or adjusting their game plan after losing leading scorer Carolyn Davis. This part of the season has been a test for the young Jayhawks, who lost their third straight game Saturday night. Resiliency has been challenged.
"It's a dagger" coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks debuted a new starting five with freshman forward Chelsea Gardner in for Davis and sophomore guard CeCe Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first
half. The Jayhawks only connected on four of their 14 three-point shots and had to fight for points by the basket.
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
"When they hit a three, it's not time to put our heads down," Jackson said. "It's time to stay focused and stay as a team."
That focus was rattled just before tip-off when Davis fell again after she abandoned her crutches to cheer on her teammates. Coaches and trainers rushed over to help Davis to the bench where she sat with her leg propped for the remainder of the game.
Gardner, who started in Davis's place, quickly fell into foul trouble. Jackson subbed into the game and finished with 11 points and a game-high seven rebounds.
"Tania is an upper-classman and she understands the rivalry and she knew what this game was going to feel like," Henrickson said. "Tania came out and was aggressive."
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Gooddrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.
"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."

the Jayhawk the NCAA Tournament, finally escaping the binds of the WNIT.
The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.
Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Henrickson is capable of taking the program to another level.
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.

Editors Note
During my freshman year of college, I lived in a residence hall with my randomly assigned roommate. At first, I was excited to meet her and make a potential, new friend. This excitement turned into disappointment.
My roommate liked to stay up until 3 a.m. playing Dungeons and Dragons, use my things without permission and have her boyfriend over 24/7. But, the biggest problem was that I was a neat freak, and she was a slob.
By Kayla Banzet kbanzet@kansan.com
We could never work out a system that suited both of our needs. Everytime we tried working things out, we would both be frustrated.
My sophomore year was even worse. I was assigned two roommates I didn't know. These two girls went to the bars four nights a week and would come back late at night. They would stumble into the dorm and turn on all of the lights while I was sleeping. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep that year.
After two years of living with my roommates in close quarters, I realized two things: I wanted to find an apartment and pick my own roommate.
Now, I live in an apartment, and I considered my roommate very carefully. When you're looking for a roommate you need to realize that you are sharing a space. Not everything can go your way. You need to pick a roommate who will listen to you and who can work out problems with you if/when they
arise.
My roommate and I have split all of the chores around the apartment. We clean the living room and kitchen together. We also split the cost of groceries. We have worked out a system and things have gone pretty well this far.
Even if you pick your roommate(s), problems can still pop up every now and then. Make sure to voice your issues with your rommate(s) quickly instead of letting your anger get the best of you.
And, since it's the season to start looking for new living situations and new roommates for next school year, be sure to read Dylan Snyder's article, "Tricky living situations can arise," on page 6.

Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.
February has arrived and the time has come for many to make a commitment. This commitment is not one associated with Valentine's day, though it does entail a bit of love and devotion.
For those who currently live in an apartment or townhome it's time to start thinking about whether or not you will renew your lease or begin to search for a new place. Or if you currently live in the dorms, its time to start thinking about what you want from a place to live.
This decision can often be stressful and time consuming. There are several factors that must be considered: price, location, square footage, and pet restrictions to name a few. Although these details cannot be overlooked, it is important to remember they all come second to the granddaddy of leased living, the roommate. Your choice in roommate will undoubtedly influence a large part of your lifestyle for the rest of your year.
A good decision may lead to friendship and another year of cohabitation, while a bad selection can end in a castle of dishes and a great sum of debt.
The injury to Davis put. Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
To those of you who have been there before, and for those of you who live alone, you will find humor in the stories that follow. For those of you in the process of selecting a roommate for the first time, read carefully and choose wisely.
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.
Alexa Bergmeier, a freshman from Fort Collins, Colo., began her first semester here with a randomly assigned room in McCollum Hall with a roommate that she had never met before. She, like many other dorm dwellers, had decided to go potluck.
"We were talking and I just didn't think that it would work out," Bergmeier said.
To Elliot Wood, a sophomore from Denver Colo., a good roommate is "someone who works with you to get things done in the house. They'll pay for groceries, they'll help cook, they'll help clean and they'll take care of themselves and their own space."
Unfortunately, this semester Wood has found himself living with a bad roommate. After living together in a house last year, Wood and two of his four roommates decided to live together again, this time in a three bedroom townhome.
With this realization she made the decision to get out. Bergmeier called the housing department and requested a change. She was then transferred to Corbin where, by coincidence, she was assigned to a room with a girl that she knew from high school. Bergmeier now lives with two roommates whom she considers to be very good. For Alexa, a good roommate is a clean person who communicates well and is very considerate of others.
"He spends most of his time with his girlfriend, but when he's at the house he complains about everything." Wood said. "Earlier in the semester he took the TV and the cable box into his room and expected us to pay for it."
It didn't take long for Wood to realize that he didn't know one of his roomies as well as he thought he did.
Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Henrickson is capable of taking the program to another level.
THE BAD
THE UGLY
Finally we come to the story of Laurie Winkel, a senior from Topeka. Winkel's ex-roommate is the type of roommate that should be avoided. After abandoning his pregnant cat, Winkel's roommate disappeared from the house, returning only once to complete a one night stand before sneaking off again the next morning. When her roommates' cat gave birth to four kittens he was nowhere to be found.
"I sold off his DVDs for cat food and litter, then tried to find them new homes, but 3 of the 4 kittens died," Winkel said. "My roommate never asked about them, or returned to the apartment. Depressing."

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and nine assists.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all" Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.

"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."

ROOMMATES
Living alone is preferable, some students say
THE KITCHEN
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Without the drama that comes with a roommate, living alone can be very peaceful. Living alone does come with the disadvantage of having to pay rent without the help of a roomie.
ANNA WFNNFR
awenner@kansan.com
Life with roommates can be fun, stressful, downright awful or a combination of the three. For students who choose to live alone, no roommates means no drama.
"I personally prefer it," said Taylor Leibrandt, a senior from Bird City. "I really like the fact that if you have a TV you can watch whatever you want whenever you want. You can cook whatever, you can make messes, and pick up at your own pace. You can decorate. You can have a cat if you want to. You can do all that stuff that sometimes having a room mate can make difficult."
For Leibbrandt, the positives outweigh the negatives, no matter how much it hurts his pockets.
"The only thing is it can become a little expensive at times," Leibbrandt said. "You're not splitting the rent or utilities, obviously, which can be a downfall. And also, just being by yourself a lot. If you aren't someone who can be alone all the time then sometimes you need a roommate to chat with."
Living with a roommate has its advantages as well, including saving money, having company and the convience of having someone to help with chores around the house.
Without a roommate a student must pay for full rent and utilities, spend a lot of time by
themselves, and do not have someone to rely on for tasks like feeding pets or Wichita plants. For Natalie Meyer, a senior from Wichita who lives alone, the drama of living with another person is not worth the benefits.
"I've lived by myself since August," Meyer said. "I hated my last roommate. She was a slob."
Now that she lives alone, Meyer said she likes that she does not have to plan her home-life around somebody else.
"I don't have to clean up after anyone," Meyer said. "I don't have to fight for the washing machine, I can study at home. It's quiet."
Meyer says the only disadvantages she has experienced from living alone are the added expenses.
Erin Lavin, a senior from Gardner, had a roommate who had to move out before their lease was up. Her roommate still pays half the rent, but because she got a job in Kansas City, she no longer lives in the apartment this semester.
"It was kind of a weird deal," Lavin said. "We were going to sublease but didn't find anybody in time so it didn't work out. You can't really upset your roommate. I mean, if you're messy or you want the TV to yourself that's pretty much up to you."
Lavin said that if she could manage it, she would continue living by herself even if she had to pay full rent.
"I think I probably prefer living by myself, but I don't mind living with people," Lavin said.
Like most parts of apartment life, the decision of whether or not to have a roommate must be made on an individual basis. Leibbrandt,
Meyer and Lavin all agreed that they preferred living alone because the drama was not worth the advantages living with roommates offered.

Trim your budget and stock up on healthy food
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
Students no longer need to fear the expensive cost of healthy eating. The myth that eating right costs extra money causes some students to turn to processed, unhealthy items. Afton Kissinger, a junior from Overland Park, said it's disappointing students don't eat healthy because of the price.
"Some people think it's more expensive, but it really just depends on where you get it." Kissinger said. "Eating healthy is as expensive as you make it."
Smoothies are an inexpensive way to get nutrients. Kissinger's favorite recipe is a Green Tea Spinach Smoothie.
Another way to eat healthy
and keep costs low is to buy in a bulk, a tip Ann Chapman, a dietician at Watkins Health Center, recommends.
"Buy a large package of chicken breasts and freeze them. Buy larger containers of rice and pastas, which are usually cheaper than small packages," Chapman said. "Shop at Sams or Costco and split food items with roommates or friends."
Chapman also suggests snacking on things such as almonds raisins, and grapes. These items are all found in local grocery stores and are typically cheaper than a candy bar.
stir-
Sarah Klehm, a sophomore from Chicago, said she cuts up carrots or apples before heading to class so she can grab them when shes in a rush.
"Eating healthy needs to become a habit, not something you feel like you have to do," Klehm said. "By cutting up fruits and vegetables ahead of time, it's just as easy for me to take carrots to class instead of a bag of potato chips."
A quick, 20-minute recipe Klehm loves
making for dinner is chicken and stir-fry.
The recipe calls for: two chicken breasts, two carrots, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yellow pepper, $ \frac{1}{2} $ red pepper, $ \frac{1}{2} $ green pepper, about 1/3 cup bean sprouts, 1 tbsp. soy sauce and egg noodles.

ALFREDO: QUICK, EASY AND DELICIOUS
egrimm@kansan.com
A while ago I was planning my weekly menu and grocery shopping list and had one more day to plan. I couldn't think of anything to make. Then, all of a sudden, the idea hit me — Chicken Alfredo.
The night came that I had planned to make the dish, and preparing everything was fun. I have always enjoyed cooking since I was a kid in my mom's kitchen and making this meal was no exception. Another thing that made it nice was that one of our Kansan photographers came over for company, so I didn't
have to eat the meal alone. My cat was also "helping", trying to get me to give her some of the scraps.
Preparing the meal went very smooth, which made me happy. The chicken breasts and noodles I used didn't burn, and the sauce didn't curdle. Finally came the time to eat and this Chicken Alfredo was, without a doubt, the best thing that I had ever made for myself and my photographer guest. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce was nice and creamy.
My experience cooking this meal was so fun, here is the recipe and instructions if you'd like to try it too.
STEP 1
A SIMPLE CHICKEN ALFREDO RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
2 thawed out small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of Ragu light parmesan alfredo sauce
Egg noodles- amount based on your appetite
½ a tablespoon of canola oil to help keep the chicken from boiling
INSTRUCTIONS:
Start out by making the sauce first
1. Cut up the chicken breasts while your frying pan heats up on "medium" setting and pour the oil in the pan.
2. After you are done cutting up the chicken put the chicken chunks into the heated oil and let them fry until they are finished cooking. A way to help them cook a bit faster would be to have a lid over the pan so the steam is trapped in and helps cook the chicken.
3. While the chicken is frying get the Ragu sauce and pour it into another pan and put that pan's burner between the "medium" and "low" settings so the sauce doesn't burn or curdle. After you're done pouring the sauce, use a little milk to help clean out the jar a little more. Also, this helps make the sauce a bit creamier.
4. Around this time the chicken will be done cooking so carefully drop the cooked chunks into the sauce and then stir everything around. After this, turn the burner down to "low" so the sauce will simmer properly. The sauce is now done!
5. Now is the time to get the egg noodles going. Get a pot and fill it about 2/3 with water. The burner you put this on will need to be on the "high" setting. Wait until the water is fully boiling to put the noodles in. After the water is boiling, pour in as many noodles as you like and then let them boil for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes drain the noodles with a colander bowl and then congratulations, you've just made a delicious and inexpensive meal.

Minding utility costs can save students money
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
- If you are like most college students, you're probably looking for ways to save some cash. For students living on their own, cutting costs on utility bills can be easy and often free.
What to look for:
Finding ways to save money starts before you even move in. If you are apartment hunting, there are important things to consider.
"Ideally utilities would be included," Chelsey Warner, a junior from Minnesota said.
Warner didn't have the time to be picky when she was searching for an apartment, but she was able to find an apartment complex for students where the only utility she pays for is electricity.
Tomas Hoppough, a junior from Fairbanks, Alaska, and his girlfriend Erin Carr, a sophomore from Kansas City, moved into their apartment in January after searching for a couple months. Hoppough said the most important thing he looked for was an apartment with utilities included. During the winter months when utilities tend to be higher, Hoppough and Carr found they had different expectations for utility use.
"I'm trying to save money, and she's trying to stay warm," Hoppough said.
Students should also look for energy-efficient appliances within the apartment and check with their electric provider for the average monthly utility cost.
What you can do now:
You may be surprised how little effort saving money on your energy bill can take.
Warner lives with three roommates and said it's important to pay attention to how much electricity you are using.
"We are really careful about shutting lights off before we leave," Warner said.
Warner said she runs the dishwasher only once it is full.
The winter weather has been fair since Hoppough and Carr moved into their apartment in January, but Hoppough still keeps a close eye on the thermometer.
"If I turn it up, he turns it down," Carr said.
Hoppough said he keeps the thermometer at room temperature and makes sure to turn the heat off before he leaves the house.
The little steps you take to be more conscious of energy use can save you big in the long run.

Saving electricity is a great way to save money on your utility bill. Some apartment complexes include utilities
NO COST ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Turn off everything not in use -- lights, computers, etc.
— Avoid "phantom load" by unplugging appliances such as TVs and DVD players, or chargers for electronics like cell phones and handheld games, which still consume power when plugged in but not turned on.
Reduce the time spent with your doors and windows open when you are heating or air conditioning.
In the winter, let the sun shine in by opening window coverings. Be sure to close them at night.
— Lower your daytime thermostat in the winter, maintaining 68 to 70 degree Fahrenheit temperature.
- Throw an extra blanket on the bed and lower your nighttime winter thermostat setting.
—Increase daytime thermostat in the summer, maintaining a 78 to 80 degree Fahrenheit temperature.
Inspect, clean or change furnace filters once a month.
Wait until you have a full load to start the dishwasher and clothes washer.
Use pots and pans that fit the burners; small pans on small burners.
— Use countertop-cooking appliances when possible. A toaster oven or microwave will cost less to operate than heating a large oven.
— Keep light fixtures clean. Dust can obstruct light output by as much as 25 percent.

Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the 'Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhaws with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Gooddrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.

"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."

Money key reason why students live at home
LELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
There are several reasons a student may choose to remain living at home with their families. Sometimes it's the state of their finances, sometimes it's just more convenient, they might not feel like being part of the dorm life or maybe a student just isn't entirely ready to be on their own in an apartment. For Benjamin Taylor, a freshman from Lenexa, it was the financial argument that helped him fully make his decision to remain at home as well as other reasons.
"It's about $4000-$5000 cheaper to live at home than in the dorms or my own apartment," he said. "That and if I need financial help my parents are right there."
Taylor also talked about some of the benefits he's noticed from staying at home.
"I don't have to pay for food, still have access to a car and I really only have to pay for my gas," he said.
However, Taylor said he's also noticed some small downsides to remaining at home.
But before he had fully made his decision, Taylor had checked out some other living situation possibilities around the area.
"It's pretty detached from campus life and the commute can be annoying sometimes," he said.
"I did check out the scholarship halls," he admitted.
For Shayna Goodson, a freshman from Lawrence, there were a few factors that helped her make her decision.
"I've lived here for so long and I was already pretty comfortable and I didn't want to completely uproot so overall it was just more economical for me to stay at home," she said. "Also, I am going to school here and the commute isn't terrible."
The pros Goodson has noticed while staying at home are indeed ideal for any student and have helped her.
"I'm less tempted to go out so I study more," she said.
But like Taylor, she has also noticed some downsides to remaining at home.
"It's mainly dealing with the parents and there's an overbearing feeling," she said.
However she did also try out and explore other living options.
"I lived in the dorms and also looked at houses on Kentucky and some other streets," she said.
"It's way cheaper for me to live at home." he
For Luke Rhodes, a freshman from Lawrence, it was also the financial argument that helped him decide.
PRO'S AND CON'S OF LIVING AT HOME
PROS:
1. Free rent and utilities
2. Home-cooked meals
2. Free rent and utilities
3. Home cooked meals
3. Clean environment
4. Fewer laundry problems
5. Easier to study
CONS:
6. No roommate issues
1. Parents still have control
2. Keeping a social life and sex life is difficult when you share walls with mom and dad
3. "I live with my parents" is not the best pick up line.
4. Always ending the night at your parents' house.
5. Responsible for household chores and any project your parents come up with
6. Family drama
said. "Also, being a music major I can practice in my home environment."
"It's quieter so I can study," he says. "And I have a healthier diet because I have access to a fridge at home."
Rhodes also discussed the pros of him living at home, including the convenience of not having to deal with dorm life and he says it has helped his studying habits and even his diet.
Rhodes also discussed a con of his situation, which was the missing sense of community.
While there are several reasons that a student might remain at home, be it financial or otherwise these students have not only made a huge decision, they have even benefited from it.
"I feel like there's a community I'm missing out on," he said.

Covering all the bases while renting property
Insurance can protect renters from accidents
MIKE MONTANO
mmontano@kansan.com
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
The Kansas Insurance Department reported claims totaling more than $1 billion last year. Renter's insurance helps mitigate the problems a renter may face, but it's up to the renter to get the proper coverage.
A fire or a theft can leave one feeling vulnerable. It can also leave some serious debt behind if you don't have insurance. It may be your first time living on your own. A signed-lease later and you're good to go, right? Not so fast. A lease means that you agree to rent from a landlord or property owner, pay rent and not destroy their property. In turn, they will make sure the conditions are livable throughout your occupancy. What happens if the property becomes unlivable and is damaged? That's when insurance kicks in.
"I always recommend that people do some type of documentation for themselves."
JENNY HOHMAN a State Farm Insurance Agent
"Renter's insurances protect people from damage done by fire, hail, wind, glass breakage, theft, riots, and impact by an aircraft."
"There's really nothing that isn't covered," said Jenny Hohman, an agent from State Farm Insurance.
It sounds a lot like homeowner's insurance, though the difference is that renter's insurance covers belongings while homeowner's insurance cover's belongings and the actual home. Students are usually tenants of an apartment and not owners of an entire complex.
The average cost of insurance per month for a student can range from $10 to $20 no matter the insurance company students go through, but the exact cost depends on a number of factors. The most common factors used to determine insurance rates include age, gender and location. According to a few apartment complexes in town, if a student signs a lease and does not get insurance, their belongings are not covered. That new computer you got this year? Gone. The big screen all the guys came over to watch the big game on? Gone. Items can start to really add up when you consider your computer, television, clothes and other electronics. Depending on the insurance company you go with, cover-
caping the binds of the WNIT.
"I always recommend that people do some type of documentation for themselves, not for the insurance company because in the event of an incident, the individual needs to compile a list of everything they own," Hohman said. "We're going to replace everything you own, DVD by DVD title."
An insurance company is not just going to hand over a check for the maximum coverage you have. The company requires proof of these items. There are laws that prohibit insurance fraud and this is one way to follow the rules. Whether you photograph, videotape or keep your receipts, it's important for students to know what they own before it's too late.
age can range from $20,000 to $25,000 at the bare minimum. This means that if a natural disaster were to occur, the insurance company would pay that amount to get you back on your feet and recoup your losses.

Compromises are key when sharing a bathroom
BELLA
Liz Marsh, a freshman from Chanute, and Lindsey Daley, a freshman from Haysville, cram for mirror space that is hard to come by in a small bathroom.
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
During the middle of the night in Oliver hall, David Stone had been awaken by a call of nature. He walked down the hall, toward the bathroom shared by his floor. He made the trip in his socks, thinking everything would be fine. Stone pushed the bathroom door open and immediately stepped in a puddle which soaked his sock. Looking down with groggy eyes, he faced a pile of red puke.
"I was upset and mad but it was directionless anger. There was no one to be mad at," Stone, a sophomore from Olathe said.
It's easier to avoid these situations in an apartment, although, they are not always inescapable.
"I was sharing a bathroom with a girl for a while so there was always stuff in there that I wasn't used to," said Foy Copp, a senior from Overland Park, "The worst time was when she
got sick and I walked in and saw her throwing up. I definitely saw things I can't un-see."
When sharing a bathroom with a roommate, it is important to be aware of the little things you do.
"My roommate didn't really care about things like water spots on the mirror. I can't stand that," Jon Coffee, a second year grad student from Knoxville, Tennessee said. "When you drop toothpaste on the counter top, it gets hard and sticks. I would always find that kind of stuff and it kind of drove me crazy."
If you and your roommate have conflicting schedules, Maruel Urein, a senior from Ewa Beach, Hawaii advises, "Manage your time well. Sharing a bathroom gives you more responsibility."
Time management is often necessary for college students, even when it comes down to using the bathroom.
More responsibility can be a good thing if it is a shared responsibility. "If you share
Sharing a bathroom in a dorm can be horrific.

responsibilities for cleaning, it's not just one person. We also share the supplies so one person doesn't have to pay for everything." Urein said, "It's also cost efficient."
HELPFUL ADVICE ON SHARING A BATHROOM
"Waiting on someone can be really hectic especially if you're a girl and you're sharing with another girl because you're trying to get ready," said Sarah Plake, a senior from Kansas City said, "That's why I made sure to get my own bathroom."
"There were multiple times when there was puke everywhere, nobody flushed the toilets, and nobody aimed. There isn't much you can do. You just shake your head and deal with it," Stone said.
"Try to keep your stuff separate and have at least some kind of schedule in the morning. It can get pretty wild in there. Try to get in there first and be as quick as you can."
Foy Copp, senior from Overland Park.
"If the roommate would clean the bathroom, you could split it up. It's hard to communicate if your roommate isn't going to clean anyway."
David Stone, sophomore from Olathe.
"If whatever's happening really is a problem or if its unsanitary or unhealthy, then you should definitely bring it up with your roommate. Try to work something out together."
Mike Tamburelli, sophomore from St. Mary's.
"Clean up after yourself, if everyone did that then there wouldn't be a problem. When you brush your teeth make sure you wash off all your tooth paste off the sink. Don't leave your hair stranded everywhere."
Julie Schiller, sophomore from Leavenworth.

to get to anything," said de Vries. Since the program started, 126 people have signed up for membership. In February, the cars
have been driven for 129 hours. The department goal is for the cars to be driven around 200 hours per month, de Vries said.
Javon Shackelford, a junior from Salina, was interested to hear that the program would be coming to the University right around the time he would need to start applying for internships.

"I use it to go to interviews in Kansas City, which has been really helpful," Shackellock said.
He tries to use the cars strategically, renting them on weekdays when the prices are lower than the standard $8 per hour. Schakelford also evaluates whether or not he really needs the car to go somewhere or if
driving would simply be easier than walking since the rental fees can add up quickly.

The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.

Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and nine assists
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first
Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.

Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.

Life with roommates can be unpredictable
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
MIKE MONTANO
Sharing a dorm or an apartment with somebody else can be unpredictable at times. The relationship you build with your roommate can decide how the rest of the school year goes.
mmontano@kansan.com
Student apartments, scholarship and residence halls, off-campus apartments and Greek housing are easy options for student housing while getting paired with a roommate that you get along with isn't always as easy.
There are 25,332 students enrolled on the Lawrence campus this spring and the residence halls house about 20 percent of these students. Corbin, the University's first residence hall built in 1866, Ellsworth, where each floor is named after a notable University figure, and Hashinger, which houses a small theater, are just some of the halls where students can choose to reside.
"My freshman year, I had three roommates and we all lived in a four-bedroom apartment," Lindsey Mitchell, sophomore, said. "One girl was a bit of a klepto and would try on my underwear, purses and take them without asking. I had to talk to the residential adviser."
Naismith Hall is located on campus across from Oliver Hall, but it is private student housing. Naismith is an apartment complex located on campus. If students prefer a university-managed dorm, there are residence halls all over campus.
"The first time I lived with a roommate was my freshman year," Nick Harbert, senior, said. "I lived in Ellsworth in a four-bedroom suite. Two of us still talk, while the other one we nicknamed 'creeper' because he would always be Facebook
stalking."
A roommate is a word that is common with college students and while many do not have the luxury to live alone, some would still prefer to not live alone.
"I think an advantage to having a roommate is that you always have someone to talk to," said
Dustin Pickett, a freshman that lives in Lewis. "It helps when meeting people too. I didn't know any of these guys before but we all get along great."
Living with a roommate can be tricky, but just know that there are many options to live next semester. Freshman year marks the beginning of
a four-year roommate stint that can build lasting friendships, but college is about experiencing life.

Hertz has designated parking spots in lots 16 and 102 on campus for its rental cars. Students, staff and faculty can rent a car for $8 per hour. Cars can be rented for as little as 15 minutes or as long as a day.

Buying a pet might be the perfect way to add entertainment and comfort to your apartment life. However, before getting your own cat or dog, it's important to know if you have the time, space and money to accommodate your furry, new roommate.
"A dog is going to need to be taken out and get adequate exercise," said Mary Thompson from Potwin Pet Clinic. "Kitties need to have enough space for a litter box and there should be one litter box per cat."
With both dogs and cats, the amount of exercise they need depends less on the size of the animal and more on his or her energy level. It's possible to have a large dog who requires only short walks, but also possible to have a small dog who needs long walks. Similarly, cats can be naturally active or naturally sedentary. Much like people, it depends on the personality of the pet.
Mindy Pressman, a student from San Diego, has lived in both an apartment and a house with her dog, and has noticed a difference in the time she spends with her.
"What's interesting is she's an inside dog, so
Cost is a huge factor to take into consideration. According to Potwin Pet Clinic, vaccinations for a dog can cost about $78 each year. Flea, tick and heartworm preventative shots or medicine cost between $13.50 - $14.79 for both dogs and cats. While these preventatives are not required to have a pet in an apartment, without them an unwelcome infestation can occur.
Food costs are also something to keep in mind. According to Hills Pet Nutrition, the cost of food for a dog is about $73.00 per year for a 5 lb. dog and $467.00 for a 100 lb. dog. For a 5 lb. cat, food costs about $91.25, and for a 15 lb. cat, around $149.65. The price of food changes depending on the type, but be prepared for the unexpected. For instance, if your animal develops a health issue and requires a particular type of food, it can be more expensive than the average brand.
in the house I can just let her out," Pressman said. "But in an apartment, going to the bathroom was a walk, so she actually spent a lot of time outside."
Along with these minimums, there are many accessories that cats and dogs require Collars, leashes, scratching posts, carriers

and a litter box are just a few necessities a dog or cat needs. All together, these can cost anywhere from $166.00 to $450.00. In general, the larger the animal, the more it will cost. A large animal will eat more food, need bigger toys to play with, and will need larger doses of medicine if he or she gets sick.

FINANCE
Financial pains can be avoided with budgeting
STELLA LIANG
editor@kansan.com
Money is an important factor for students to consider when living off-campus. There is rent to pay and food to buy. It can be hard to juggle all of these expenses and make sure that there is money left over.
Some University students have found a solution: budgeting.
"I started my budget last January when I got an engineering co-op," said Kasey Knight, a junior from Unionville, Mo. "I calculated how much my rent and car payments were and added on about what I thought I would spend on gas, food, etc."
Kelly Welch, a University professor of business, said a budget should include a close estimate of expenses and income for the next month, or whatever time frame is chosen.
"I recommend starting by tracking one's monthly expenses in a few broad categories including income, rent, utilities, food, transportation and entertainment," Welch said. "The categories depend on one's circumstances. Items like scholarships, grants, loans, tuition and books are more lumpy and might
need to be planned for on a different frequency than monthly."
There are many ways to write a budget. If there aren't many factors, some simple math and a note pad can be sufficient. For more complicated situations, computer programs like Quicken, can help. The more difficult part of
Living within one's means isn't always easy.
the process comes after the budget is sets keeping to it. Once a budget has been written, discipline is required to follow through.
"When school started up, I had money saved but it was going fast so I made another budget," Knight said, "I work part time at Hy-Vee now to help."
Living within one's means isn't always easy. "Falling outside a budget can be especially discouraging, and it can cause one to give up entirely on a budget," Welch said.
To make a budget successful and easier to follow, certain precautions can be taken.
"Be sure to budget in a bit of a slush category, if at all possible," Welch said. "So few are able to deal with unexpected costs, or even spur-of-the-moment purchases. Also, one should realize that surpluses one month may be offset with deficits another month. Also, building up an emergency fund is also a key item."
BUDGET TIPS
- Start tracking monthly expenses
- Place expenses into categories
— Make a budget and stick to it
Try to build an emergency fund
Know where your money is going
Having a budget doesn't mean there is
no money for having fun. It just means that the amount spent on it is accounted for and tracked.
"Chooing tradeoffs carefully helps each of us gain control of our personal finances."
"I do recommend for all students to set a budget by calculating about how much you have to spend every month and put the rest into savings, but also allow yourself to
KELLY WELCH Professor of business
go out and have fun every once in a while," Knight said.
Having a budget can be beneficial. It is less a restriction than a way to prioritize and control where money is being spent.
"A budget allows one to identify where the cash flow sources are, where the cash outflows go and, most
importantly of all, how to prioritize the expenses," Welch said. "Choosing tradeoffs carefully helps each of us gain control of our personal finances."
Not setting a budget, or just not knowing where money is going can have serious repercussions.
Not having a budget isn't going to always translate into these problems, but for some students it can be very helpful in fighting against financial problems.
"Failing to budget can often result in excessively large additional expenses, which on a personal finance level include high credit card interest, lots of bank fees for insufficient funds and frequent transactions and problems with collection agencies," Welch said.
"Budgeting can be a tedious exercise, but it provides extraordinary insights, and helps individuals prioritize," Welch said.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and rine assists.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the Tigers' first conference victory of the season.

"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all," Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.

Keep your keys in check, or be locked out
ANNA WENNER
awenner@kansan.com
Perhaps the most exciting moment of getting your first apartment is holding the key in your hand and knowing that it opens the door to your very own home. In the beginning, it's exciting just to lock and unlock the door, but soon your key becomes an afterthought. It's not that you don't need it. On the contrary, you definitely do. It's just that the key tends to lose out to shinier, more exciting parts of apartment life.
Unfortunately, taking your key for granted can cost an exorbitant amount of time, money and embarrassment.
"The last time [I locked myself out] it was really inconvenient," said Kate Moneymaker, a graduate student from Emporia. "I had to get my extra key from my boyfriend and then go back and was almost late to class. Worse than that, the first day of freshman year I went to take a shower and got locked out. I had to go down to the desk in a towel."
Most of us, even the wisest of us, have left our key in some mysterious nook of our apartment only to find it after an extensive, time consuming search. Similarly, losing your key can result in fines to replace it. To avoid the hassle of lost keys, follow these two bits of advice.
Find your key a home
If your key is not attached to anything, it is very easy to drop it somewhere, lose it in your pocket and forget about it until you need it. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours of searching to find a lost key inside of your apartment, especially if you aren't sure when or where you had it last. Dropping your key somewhere can cost a lot more than time. Based on information from local apartment complexes, including Campus Court Student Apartments, the Reserve on 31st Street and Legends, replacing an apartment key in Lawrence can cost anywhere from $5 to $50.
To avoid this problem, find a place that is just inside the door where you can easily set down your keys after entering. This place can be some sort of container like a bowl or a drawer, or you can place hooks on your wall for your keys to hang on. To make the location of your keys extra memorable, put some effort into making the perfect nook. One creative idea for a key hook was posted by blogger Sam Biddle on Gizmodo.com. He suggested hanging a wide lego block on the wall, then attaching smaller legos to your key ring so that when you come inside, all you have to do is stick the legs together to hang your keys up.
Once you have a home for your keys inside the
apartment, find a way to keep track of them when you are outside of the house. One of the easiest ways to do this is to attach a large, awkward, or brightly colored key chain to your keys. This can keep your keys from getting lost in the sea of junk in a large purse or falling between the couch cushions at home. Some people even wear their keys by attaching them to lanyards or bracelets. If you have an electronic key card, place it in a wallet or wristlet with your KU ID and your driver's license so you will never leave home without the essentials. Also, many wallets and purses have key rings or clips attached to themso you don't have to dig to find your keys.
Know what to do if you are locked out
For most apartment complexes if you are locked out, it is ideal to have it happen during regular office hours. At the Reserve you can get a temporary key that will last until midnight if
Getting locked out of your apartment is one of those events in life that is only funny when it happens to someone else. Although everyone hopes it won't happen to them, every day students get locked out of their homes and have to seek help to get back in. While some apartment complexes say they have only a few lockouts each week, Trista Hageman, Senior Community Assistant at the Reserve on 31st Street, says that many tenants regularly lock themselves out of their apartments, "at least like 50 per week."
you are locked out during office hours, but after hours you have to pay a $25 fee because someone must be called to make a new card. The good news is that most student apartment complexes do have someone on call at all hours to deal with lockouts. However, apartment complexes rarely have the same system.
This is why it is important to find out what the policy is for your apartment when you first move in. If there is a number to call in case of a lockout, make sure you program it in your phone. Alternatively, Rent.com suggests that if your apartment or place of residence does not have a lockout procedure, make sure that you have the number of one person who has a key (such as the superintendent), the number for a locksmith, and the number of the police in cases of emergency. In addition, if you have or are allowed to make a spare key, leave one with a close friend or family member rather than a hiding spot. At apartments there are few places to hide a key outside, and a potential burglar will check them all.
While it's good to know all of these procedures, what's most important is doing your best not to get locked out in the first place. If you make an effort to always lock your door upon leaving, having your keys in tow will become second nature. If you continue to forget, stick a reminder, such as a post-it note, on the door at eye level With these suggestions in mind, you might never get locked out again.

EXERCISE
Turning stress from school into sweat
20
If there isn't enough time to go to the gym, working out at home can be a great way to relieve daily stress. Different workout techniques can keep exercising at home interesting
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Between going to class, doing homework and having a job, it may seem impossible to find time to go to the gym. So how can you fit exercise into your life? It's as easy as starting right in your own living room.
Mark Wolf, a personal trainer at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, said to begin working out by stretching..
"The stress of long days sitting in classes, hunched over a computer can wreak havoc on your body," Wolf said. "As little as five to 10 minutes of simple leg or arm stretches a day can prevent back pain caused by inactivity and muscular imbalances."
Wolf also suggests using household items as weights. Heavy cans, detergent bottles and other objects make great weights for arm curls and repetitions. Wolf said that doing three sets of 10 repetitions with a heavy can will achieve the same results as using a weight.
"Exercise will literally improve every aspect of your life," Wolf said. "Not only will you look better, feel better and manage stress better, but you'll also get sick less, and have more energy."
Phillip Vardiman, assistant professor in health, sport and exercise sciences, said that having a limited amount of time is no excuse to skip out on your daily exercise. He said there
are plenty of routines and workout plans that are doable at home.
"I would start off with two sets of 10 of either lunges, squats, push-ups, jumping jacks or sit-ups," Vardiman said. "The key is progression. Just gradually increase the intensity of weights or repetitions as it gets easier."
Matt Cullinan, a sophomore from Overland Park who is devoted to his daily exercise routine, said he enjoys turning his workouts into a game. His favorite workout activity is the "Card Push-Up Workout."
The student shuffles a standard deck of cards, flips the first card over and performs a specific exercise. If he pulls a red card, he does a push-up. If he pulls a black card, he does a sit-up. If he flips over a face card, the student does 20 reps of the exercise. The number on the card denotes how many reps the student performs of the specific exercise. Students can adjust the type of exercise or number of repetitions however they like.
"I like this workout because I don't know what's coming next," Cullinan said. "It makes working out fun and I look forward to doing it."
Shannon O'Neill, Fit class instructor at The Rec center, said that she searches the web to find workout videos. She said she is able to achieve the same workout that's shown in commercial workout videos without spending the money.

Don't be shy with potential landlords

"Landlords have to deal with a lot of students who don't care about the property, so they have to be tough," Whittridge said.
Senior Bridget Whittridge, has had her share of unpleasant landlords, but she also understands their side.
Despite careless tenants, Mary Gage, owner of Gage Management Inc., said students are a great population to work with. Gage, who has managed property for 25 years, owns the company with her husband, and currently, the couple owns about 500 apartments and single-home units in Lawrence. A lack of communication can cause conflicts between landlords and tenants, she said.
"Definitely negotiate the lease before you sign," Callahan said.
"For a lot of [students], it might be the first time they've ever rented," Gage said. "Educating them on how it all works, it sometimes takes some time." Brian Callahan, a freshman from Bonner Springs, said students shouldn't sign anything without understanding what they are getting into. When Callahan received fines and had maintenance issues, he was unsatisfied with how the management dealt with them.
One of the most important things that first-time renters should do is ask a lot of questions. Gage said students should talk closely with the landlords and ask exactly how their leases work. All of the paperwork involved in signing can be hectic for both the leasing offices and the tenants, but if there are any questions that arise, students should simply talk to their landlord.
Details such as how a tenant can be fined and how maintenance issues are fixed may be outlined in the lease. When it comes time to sign it, Gage said students should read over it carefully since it is a legal contract. Gage has seen many students briefly skim over the lease — if that — before signing.
"We like to work with people and try to understand their concerns and on the other hand, hope they understand that we are trying to run a responsible business as well," Gage said.
Gage said students should pay attention to things in a lease such as the length of it and any additional fees. If students don't take the time to ask about the terms or the landlord doesn't explain them well, problems can arise between landlord and tenant.

The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.
Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.
Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Her.rickson is capable of taking the program to another level.

Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and nine assists.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.
"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."

Hertz has designated parking spots in lots 16 and 102 on campus for its rental cars. Students, staff and faculty can rent a car for $8 per hour. Cars can be rented for as little as 15 minutes or as long as a day.

"Mostly what we are doing is providing anything the instructor adopts and working with the publisher to get that in the store," Whitley said. "We have less control over what it is — a book versus an ebook — that is all dependent on the instructor who adopts it. What we are doing is trying our best to get that product in the store at a competitive price."

come as a relief for prospective students as well.
"There are a lot of students who come from far away and only bring a car because they don't think they'll be able
to get to anything," said de Vries. Since the program started, 126 people have signed up for membership. In February, the cars
have been driven for 129 hours. The department goal is for the cars to be driven around 200 hours per month, due Vries said.
Javon Shackelford, a junior from Salina, was interested to hear that the program would be coming to the University right around the time he would need to start applying for internships.
"I use it to go to interviews in Kansas City, which has been really helpful," Shackelford said.

He tries to use the cars strategically, renting them on weekdays when the prices are lower than the standard $8 per hour. Schakelford also evaluates whether or not he really needs the car to go somewhere or if
driving would simply be easier than walking since the rental fees can add up quickly.
"If you're not careful, you can definitely drive yourself into the poor house," Schakelford said.

TECHNOLOGY
Ebooks on way to campus
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
This generation's students are constantly flooded with new technology at home, work and school. Students are receptive to electronic books, in particular, but some are hesitant to trade in the printed word for a screen of e-ink.
Provost Jeffrey Vitter said the University plans to slowly implement ebooks into classrooms across campus, but the process is just in the beginning stages.
"PIZZA, PIZZA"
"We have very high level people who will be making visits to Apple, to Google, Microsoft, IBM and possibly HP and Dell in order to build collaborative projects and get discounts and see how we can leverage what they are doing to improve what we are doing in our educational process," Vitter said.
In January, Apple announced its new interactive textbook interface, iBooks 2. The program allows publishers to create interactive textbooks and publish them directly to iPads. In the same announcement, Apple said it was revamping its iTunes U section to allow more universities to join and publish entire courses through the iTunes store. Vitter said the University has applied for a license to upload content to iTunes U.
Students using their iPads, Kindles or other tablet readers on campus is not uncommon. Taylor Bettle, a sophomore English major from Wichita, frequently reads books for classes on her Kindle Fire, and she said it's all about the convenience tablets can provide.
"I definitely use it a lot for classes," Bettle said. "Some of the textbooks for class I have on here. Some I couldn't get on there I had to get the paper form. But I like using it a lot."
However, some students are skeptical of the online textbooks and classes. Amara Siddiqi, a junior from Wichita, does not think course materials online will work well for her.
"I've had e-book versions of certain books and it is a lot more comforting to the eyes to look at the actual book copy rather than the ebook copy," Siddiqui said.
The KU Bookstore recognizes that some professors and publishing companies are pushing for ebook usage and are trying to do their best to keep up. Kyle Whitley is a supervisor in the textbooks department and said the store is adjusting to the transition to digital.
"Mostly what we are doing is providing anything the instructor adopts and working with the publisher to get that in the store," Whitley said. "We have less control over what it is — a book versus an ebook — that is all dependent on the instructor who adopts it. What we are doing is trying our best to get that product in the store at a competitive price."

Joey Reames does not have a car in Lawrence. He left the vehicle he shared with his siblings in Dallas so that his brother could get to work everyday. While not having a car in Lawrence has not prevented him from getting around campus, it does make getting around town a challenge.
"As far as going to see my friends who live off campus or getting to Mass Street, I always have to ask my friends for rides," said Reames, a sophomore from Dallas. "I feel bad. They're always spending gas money on me."
The Parking and Transit Department now offers a solution for students without cars like Reames. Last month, it introduced a car sharing program that allows cars to be rented for a minimum of 15 minutes or as long as a day.
Students had been requesting the program for years, said Margretta de Vries, administrative specialist for the department.

De Vries said the car sharing program would be helpful to students, staff and faculty who struggle to arrange rides for appointments or errands and might
is free. Hertz then mails out a membership card that drivers use to unlock the car. The whole process takes about 7 to 10 days, and anybody over the age of 18 with a valid driver's license can use the cars.
Two cars are parked in marked spaces in lot 16 across from the Kansas Union and two are in lot 102, located between Hashinger and Lewis Hall. The rental fee is $8 per hour, which includes gas and insurance. All cars have 24-hour customer service and built in GPS. The keys are inside the car, but it will only start after you confirm your identity with the cars Bluetooth system. Vehicles must be returned to their designated spaces when drivers are done.

Mormon group speaks out against Romney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — When Honduran-born Antonella Cecilia Packard converted to the Mormon Faith 20 years ago, she said it was like "coming home."
The Catholic-educated Packard, who grew up in "the middle of Mayan ruins," appreciated the faith's strong sense of family and conservative values. She also saw her own history in the Book of Mormon with stories of migrations, tragedies and triumphs of a people many Mormons believe are the ancestors of some present-day Latinos.
But two decades after her conversion while a college student at Mississippi State, the 43-year-old Packard finds herself on a new mission: defeating Mitt Romney and any Mormon politician who betrays what she sees as a basic Mormon principle of protecting immigrants.
A growing number of vocal

resident and member of Somos (We are) Republicans. "But a lot of us aren't supporting him because of his stance against immigrants."
In addition, Ignacio Garcia, a history professor at Brigham Young University and a Sunday school teacher at his Mormon ward, said the recent political moves by Hispanic Mormons are gaining attention because Hispanics are the fastest growing group among the LDS faith in the U.S.
"Yes, we are happy that we have a Mormon running for president," Packard, a Saratoga Springs.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not keep ethnic data on its 6 million or so members in the United States. But according to a 2011 national survey of Mormons by Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life, Latinos make up 7 percent of Mormons in the U.S.
The church says the number of Spanish-speaking units has grown from 403 in 2001 to nearly 800 last year.
"But a lot of us aren't supporting him because of his stance against immigrants."
Garcia said it is estimated that nearly 70 percent of Latino

Meeting for abortion subsidies postponed
TOPEKA—A Kansas House committee has postponed its vote on a bill aimed at preventing the state from subsidizing abortions even indirectly through tax credits or deductions.
Chairman Steve Brink said he cancelled Monday's meeting of the House Federal and State Affairs Committee to give members more time to draft possible amendments.
Brunk, a Bel Aire Republican, expects a vote next week. The committee's approval would send the bill to
the full House.
The bill also rewrites the state's informed consent law, requiring doctors to provide certain information before terminating a woman's pregnancy. It would require doctors to allow patients to hear a fetal heartbeat.
The measure would also prohibit schools from incorporating materials from groups that provide abortions into classes on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases.

North Korea threatens a "merciless" attack
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea conducted live-fire military drills near its disputed sea boundary with North Korea on Monday despite Pyongyang's threat to respond with a "merciless" attack.
Washington and North Korea's neighbors are closely watching how new leader Kim Jong Un navigates strained ties with rival South Korea, the planned U.S.-South Korean military drills
North Korea did not carry out the threat as it focuses on internal stability two months after the death of longtime leader Kim Jong Il and prepares for nuclear disarmament talks with the United States later this week. But with American forces scheduled to conduct additional military exercises with ally South Korea over the next few months, tensions are expected to remain high in the region.
and a long-running standoff over the country's nuclear weapons programs.
South Korea's drills took place Monday in an area of the Yellow Sea that was the target of a North Korean artillery attack in 2010 that killed four South Koreans and raised fears of a wider conflict.
A North Korean officer told an Associated Press staffer in Pyongyang on Sunday that North Koreans would respond to any provocation with "merciless retaliatory strikes."
North Korea is prepared for a "total war" and the drills will lead to a "complete collapse" of ties between the Koreas, the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement carried Monday by the official Korean Central News Agency.

Silene Stenophylla survived for 30,000 years
MOSCOW — It was an Ice Age squirrel's treasure chamber, a burrow containing fruit and seeds that had been stuck in the Siberian permafrost for over 30,000 years. From the fruit tissues, a team of Russian scientists managed to resurrect an entire plant in a pioneering experiment that paves the way for the revival of other species.
The Silene stenophylla is the oldest plant ever to be regenerated, the researchers said, and it is fertile, producing white flowers and viable seeds.
The experiment proves that permafrost serves as a natural depository for ancient life forms, said the Russian researchers, who published their findings in Tuesday's issue of "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" of the United States.
Canadian researchers had earlier regenerated some significantly younger plants from seeds found in burrows.
Svetlana Yashina of the Institute of Cell Biophysics of the Russian Academy Of Sciences, who led the regeneration effort, said the revived plant looked very similar to its modern version, which still grows in the same area in northeastern Siberia.

Church service disrupted by car bombing
SULEJA, Nigeria — A bomb planted by an abandoned car exploded outside a church in the middle of a worship service Sunday near Nigeria's capital, wounding five people amid a continuous wave of violence by a radical Islamist sect, authorities and witnesses said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast outside the Christ Embassy church in Suleja, a city near the nation's capital Abuja. However, the area has been targeted in the past by the sect known as Boko Haram — including the Christmas Day car bombing of a Catholic church nearby that killed at least 44 people.
The explosion happened just after 10 a.m. as the church began its service, Pastor Uyi idugbee told journalists. Security guards at the church
The bomb also apparently had been wrapped with a motorcycle chain, which sent metal shrapnel flying everywhere when the explosive detonated, witnesses said. The explosion tore away the engine compartment of the abandoned car and damaged four other vehicles nearby.
had noticed something suspicious by the abandoned car, prompting the pastor to call everyone inside the church before the service began, he said.
One person was seriously injured in the blast and taken to a local hospital, local police spokesman Richard Oguche said. Another four people suffered minor injuries, said Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.

Albanian soldiers killed by Afghan police
KABUL, Afghanistan — Gunmen in Afghan police uniforms opened fire on NATO troops on Monday in southern Afghanistan, killing two Albanian soldiers and wounding another international service member, officials said.
The attack by suspected Afghan policemen appears to be the latest in a growing number of turncoat attacks that have raised questions about the vetting of Afghan recruits and threatened the international military commitment to Afghanistan.
Last month, France suspended its training program and threatened to withdraw its forces a year ahead of schedule after an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French soldiers on a base in eastern Afghanistan.
Monday's shooting occurred in the village of Robat, in Kandahar province's Spin Boldak district which borders Pakistan, said Kandahar police chief Abdul Raziq. The troops had gone there for a meeting about opening two schools
The soldiers "found themselves attacked by a group of persons wearing uniforms of the Afghan police," Brig. Gen. Viktor Berdo, the head of Albanian land forces, told reporters in the country's capital Tirana.
and a health center, the Albanian defense ministry said.
The attackers opened fire with five assault rifles and one light automatic machine gun, the Albanian Defense Ministry said. The two Albanians, a captain and a corporal, died later in a hospital in the provincial capital of Kandahar city. Another international soldier was wounded, the ministry said, without providing a nationality.
Albanian President Bamir Topi denounced the attack as a "grave terrorist act" and called for the punishment of those responsible.

Students await iPad 3 as tablets gain popularity
Student Senate recently made a decision to help fund 'Gaypril' by contributing $3,180. Pride Week was changed to a monthlong event, called Gaypril, after Queers and Allies decided it was more practical to schedule events over the course of a month, as opposed to one week.
Senate will contribute $2,925 for guest speaker Kenyan Farrow and comedian Fortune Feimster and $255 will be used toward the asexual part of the film festival portion of Gaapril.

Reeb owns a Motorola Xoom tablet given to him by the department of electrical engineering, but if he were to purchase a new tablet, he said he would pick the Asus Transformer over the iPad 3. Reeb said that the newest iPad will play catch-up to the Transformer, which has been on the market since last April.
Students have expressed a range of opinions in regards to Senate's decision on funding
Tablets are the latest, hottest tech item for students and many are eagerly awaiting Apple's iPad 3 announcement in March.
"Tablets provide a different user experience," said Tim Reeb, a junior from Haysville and technology specialist at the KU Bookstore. "A lot of the user interface is simpler, streamlined and easier to access."
"Tablets are all about content consumption, whereas computers
"Right now, tablets are just too limited," Beckmann said. "But I'm looking forward to when that changes."
The Transformer Prime, released in Dec. 2011 at $500, uses a quadcore processor, 32 GB of hard drive and can dock into a keyboard port that has USB inputs. Whether students should rely solely on a tablet or still have a computer depends on each student's needs. According to Reeb, tablets work well for surfing the internet, playing music and writing documents, but computers are best for editing music and photos.
"Lawrence is already a pretty liberal town, and I think it's a pretty well-recognized issue," said Preston Moore, a sophomore from Overland Park. "I think there are more effective ways of going about it than spending $3,000 putting up ads for gay pride month. People respect it more when you talk to them in person."
"I think they [Student Senate] need to fund this. If people don't feel accepted, they are less likely to accept themselves. It is Student Senate's job to enrich the experience of KU students," said Emma Halling, a sophomore from Elkhart Ind..

Right now, the iPad is only meant to be an extension of a computer, and Beckmann said if he had to choose, he would buy a MacBook air instead of an iPad 3.
"We're trying to expand the educational topics this year. We want to talk about body image. Right now we're trying to get people from the rec to work with body image and what it means for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students," said Clark. "Queer people in general have a place on campus, they're not tucked away."
Apple plans to announce more details about the new product on March 7. The iPad 3 will likely be on sale a few weeks later, but until then, any specs about the device are rumors. Beckmann said that some of the rumors he has heard include the iPad 3's 4G network access, a similar price as the iPad 2 — $499, an 8-megapixel camera and a quad-core processor.
Outside of Senate, other sources of funding include Queers and Allies, the Media Education Foundation and Coca-Cola.
However, Corey Beckmann, a junior from Overland Park and an Apple sales associate for iCafe, said the iPad 3 is a significant improvement to the tablet market. While most features on the iPad 3 have yet to be confirmed, Apple announced that it will include a retina display, which provides a higher resolution than Blu-Ray.

Woman goes to trial for stealing pumpkin
is accused of taking the pumpkin in October 2011 from McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty.
Her sister, Annette Atencio, says Medina spent $75 on food that day but forgot to pay for the pumpkin she picked up as she was leaving. Atencio says her sister offered to put but was refused and then handcuffed.
According to Queers and Allies president, Cherae Clark, the main purpose of Gaypril is "to bring awareness of our presence, not to mention it's really fun to have a standing tradition like the drag show."
Q&A is working to finalize plans for Gaypril, and will have a finalized schedule in mid-March. Other planned events include the annual Pride Parade, the Pride Prom, a music performance and a series of panels and workshops. The drag show is one of Gaypril's biggest events, bringing in several students of all orientations. This year, however, Q&A is focusing more on informative programs for interested students.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A 23-year-old college student from New Mexico is scheduled to go to trial for allegedly stealing a small pumpkin worth two dollars.
KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, N.M., reports that Lauren Medina will go before a jury and Moriarity Magistrate Judge Steve Jones on Tuesday. She

Back in the 1930s, Rainer seemed like the second coming of Greta Garbo at MGM with back-to-back best-actress wins for "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936) and "The Good Earth" (1937). But after follow-up flops like 1938's "The Toy Wife," in which she played a Viennese-pasty flavor of Scarlett O'Hara, Rainer was more than happy to leave Hollywood for Switzerland in 1945.

Irish dancing hit 'Riverdance' kicks off its final world tour
The touring company includes six principal dancers, 18 troupe dancers, a live five-piece band, flamenco dancer and two American tap dancers, one of whom is also a baritone soloist.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's certainly emotional to be saving goodbye," says Erskine.
The show has been touring continuously in North America since 1996, sometimes with two companies simultaneously. While organizers insist there still interest in the U.S., new markets beckon in South America, India and China.
"The service is full of obscure gems, old favorites, guilty pleasures and new earworms." Ogle told NME.
NEW YORK — When Julian Erskine last saw the American touring company of "Riverdance," he had to smile.
Padraic Moyles, one of the principals, is dancing with a heavy heart. He joined "Riverdance" in 1997 and fell in love with his co-star and now wife Niamh O'Connor while in the show. While he has performed elsewhere, he says American audiences are special.
"Riverance" opened at Dublin's Point Theatre on Feb. 9, 1995, at a time of renewed Irish optimism
He was in the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on an October night in Costa Mesa, Calif., watching the high-stepping cast electrify the crowd once again despite more than a dozen years crisscrossing the nation.
"Anybody who joins the show from here on out and doesn't get the opportunity to perform it in America, will be missing something," he says. "I hope that someday, whether its 10 years from now, it does come back so that people get to experience that reaction again."
Even so, the end of the road is nearing. "Riverdance" is currently on an 82-city farewell North American tour that's winding across the U.S. and Canada and ends in June. This month, the show left Texas, hit the Southeast and next goes to the Plains.
"To be at the back of a hall with the audience jumping to their feet at the end of the show after all these years, it's just so gratifying and just so pleasing," says Erskine, the show's senior executive producer, by phone from Dublin.
and pride surrounding the onset of the booming "Celtic Tiger" economy. Years of relative poverty were disappearing and being Irish had a new cool, thanks to a new generation of athletes and musicians like U2 and The Cranberries.
"The timing couldn't have been better. We just picked up on a vibe that was happening in this country and we suddenly felt, 'Maybe it isn't so bad being Irish. Maybe we don't have to be the butt of every joke,' says Erskine. "It couldn't have happened five years earlier. It just wouldn't have happened. I don't think we would have had the courage to have done it."
The two-hour "Riverdance" show is loosely based on the story of Irish culture and mass immigration to America, the story woven through music and dance styles including flamenco and tap. Most of the dancing is drawn from traditional Irish step dancing, in which the arms and body move little while the feet create the sound and action.
It has since been seen by an estimated 22 million people in 40 countries, from Red Square to the Great Wall of China. It made its American debut in 1996 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and packed the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway for 18 months in 2000-2001. Not bad for a show that first premiered on the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest as a seven-minute segment.
Erskine attributes the show's success to the fact that it isn't a cookie-cutter experience. It wasn't pulled together to make money, but to blow the dust off Irish folk music and dance, he says, and that purity of creation shines through. Plus, the sound seems to touch a very human part of us.
"That pounding out of rhythms I suppose is quite primal. That goes back into all our cores, no matter where we've come from. The beating of drums is how we first communicated," he says.
The show has lasted despite losing original stars Jean Butler and Michael Flatley, who also was cochoreographer. Flatley went on to create his own shows, "Lord of the Dance" and "Feet of Flames."

Flying flags at half-staff special honor
Although Whitney Houston was a great singer, she doesn't deserve having flags at half-staff
On October 30,2010 former Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson ordered that flags across the state of Kansas must be flown at half-staff in honor of Army Specialist Thomas Adam Moffitt
of Wichita. He was 21.

that if it is decreed for every small moment it loses its significance and importance as a high honor.

be lowered to half-staff in honor of singer Whitney Houston. She was 48.
The original, symbolic meaning of flying a flag at half-staff is a sign for grief and mourning from our nation. The problem with this important gesture is
while serving in the Marines a month ago, and his former state of Arizona ordered for flags to be lowered to half-staff. He was 25. "That

honor meant a lot to me," Phyllis McGeath told CBS Dallas/Fort Worth news. McGeath says, "Houston is not deserving of that same honor."
"Nothing against Ms. Houston because she was a beautiful singer, and I was a fan for years,"
McGeath said. “[But] It was like putting them on the same level.”
When I heard that the state of Kansas was honoring my brother's willingness to serve his country and to pay the ultimate sacrifice it made me proud of my state and of my country. The fact that the entire state of Kansas was mourning with my family was a humbling feeling that meant a lot to me.
However, with Houston receiving that same honor demotes that significance and honor. She
did not serve on the front lines. She did not experience what Phillip McGeath and my brother experienced. Houston was an incredible singer, but how can these two things even be close to comparison?
Houston did not give her life for this country, and she does not deserve to have the same recognition as those who did. We have to separate emotion from action. Houston emotionally touched the lives of many throughout her career, but she didn't risk or sacrifice her life with action in a time of war. And, for that reason I don't think she deserves the honor of having our American flag fly at half-staff.
To all of our troops who have served our country,who have fought in a time of war on the front lines,who have been wounded in combat,and
those who have given their lives for our freedom, you are my heroes. You were willing to put your country before your safety. When you fall, we, as a nation, are all your brothers and sisters. For that, you deserve the highest honor.
You deserve to have the symbolic gesture of the American flag be flown at half-staff. This symbolic reference states that we, as a nation, mourn your loss - that we, as a nation, stand together and honor you for unselfishly giving your lives to ensure our safety as a country. For that, I thank you. For that, you deserve an honor that the rest of us do not.

Don't blame oil companies for rising gas prices
Prices of crude oil are increasing because of events around the world, not because of big oil
The average price of gasoline at the pump across the U.S. last week was about $3.47 per gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration. Seems high, right? Think back to July 2008, when the average price of gasoline reached an all-time high of more than $4.10. That was an expensive time for a summer road trip. Both of these figures support the popular yet accurate perception that gasoline has been getting more and more expensive lately.
It's also true that major international oil companies, such as Chevron and ExxonMobil, have been making record profits over the past several years. In fact during the quarter that included the record July 2008 gasoline prices, ExxonMobil earned $15.3 billion, the highest quarterly profit in American history. So, it must follow that big oil companies are responsible for the high price of gasoline, right?
This is not the case.
In reality, the price you pay when you fill up your car has nothing to do with Big Oil and everything to do with a symphony of events occurring around the planet.
But before examining those, it is important to understand the process that a gallon of gasoline
goes through before it reaches your gas tank. First, crude oil lying miles under the surface of the earth has to be found and pumped to the surface. This is an incredibly complex task that usually occurs in some of the most inhospitable regions of planet. A single well can cost billions of dollars.
Next, the crude oil has to be transported to a refinery to be processed into products that can be used, such as gasoline, diesel and ingredients for plastics. Finally, it is sold and transported to retail gas stations across the country.
According to the US Department of Energy, the current price you pay for a gallon of gas includes several costs, specifically crude oil (about 70 percent of the total), refining (10 percent), distributing and marketing for retail stations (5 percent) and government taxes (15 percent). Given this, it is clear that the price of crude oil is the single largest factor affecting the price of gasoline. So, changing gasoline prices really reflect changing crude oil prices.
By Greg Loving
gloving@kansan.com
Crude oil is a commodity, meaning that it is traded at a single price in a global marketplace. It also means that events happening around the world drive changes in its price. Like any market, crude oil is subject to the laws of supply and demand. Generally speaking,
the global supply of crude oil is roughly equal to global demand. As a result, supply disruptions as small as a single refinery fire can have a discernible impact on the price of gasoline.
That's why events such as tensions with Iran, a war in Libya or any other trouble with oil producing nations can cause the price you pay for gasoline to increase dramatically.
But supply disruptions are only half of the equation. Increased demand also causes prices to rise and the vast majority of new demand is being created outside the United States.
Consider this: according to the UN, the US consumes roughly 25 percent world's oil but makes up only 5 percent of the world's population. Simultaneously, there are more than two billion people in India and China who don't consume like we do, but are desperately trying to catch up. They want two
cars, lots of things and a big house to put it all in, just like us. Imagine the increased demand for oil when there are two billion more cars on the road.
As more events threaten a global supply of crude oil and demand continues to increase at incredible rates due to growth in developing countries, its clear that high gas prices are here to stay for some time unless serious energy conservation efforts occur.
According to Energy Independence, more than 80 percent of the'
"Simply, it costs a lot of money to drill for oil and that requires large profits for sustained investment."
world's oil reserves are controlled by foreign states, not major oil companies. This fact, combined with a tight global crude oil supply-demand balance, illustrates why gas prices cannot be manipulated by oil companies, which are subject to the same whims of the global market that we are.
The reason oil companies make so much money when crude oil
prices are high stems from the fact that they physically own some of the crude oil that they produce, meaning they receive higher payments when the global crude price increases. However, producing oil is an incredibly expensive business that is occurring on an unfathomably large scale. As a result, all of these record profits are invested right back into exploring for and producing more oil.
Simply, it costs a lot of money to drill for oil and that requires large profits for sustained investment.
In the past, politicians and the public alike have called for higher taxes and increased restrictions on oil companies. In reality, a policy change like this would actually make gasoline more expensive, as oil companies would have less money to invest in finding new oil, reducing the amount they can supply and raising the price of crude oil. Going forward, we desperately need to reduce the amount of oil we consume, as there just isn't enough to go around. But let's not make the problem worse by imposing punitive measures on an industry that is vital to our economic growth.

Next two games: Texas Tech, at Kansas State
Coach Fred Hoiberg has slowly turned around the Iowa State program and the Cyclones are in a good spot to land an NCAA tournament birth for the first time since 2005. A sweep of Texas Tech and Kansas State this week would almost certainly solidify a spot.

Last two games: W at Oklahoma (69-58), L at Oklahoma State (90-78)
Next two games: At Texas Tech, vs. Oklahoma
The Longhorns still have some work to do on their NCAA tournament resume. Sitting at 7-7 in Big 12 play with four games remaining, they need to win the pair of easier games (At Texas Tech, Oklahoma) and knock off either Baylor or Kansas.

It's been a rough year for Oklahoma State fans. The Cowboys haven't won back-to-back games since Dec. 7 and their only signature victory came against then No.2 Missouri on Jan. 25. Freshman guard Le'Bryan Nash should be able to lead them to the NCAA tournament next season as a sophomore.

Sooner coach Lon Kruger is still getting his pieces in place in Norman, as this season was the definition of a rebuilding year. Kruger is too good of a coach for the Sooners to stay in the Big 12 cellar.

Ottawa Senators win big in Uniondale
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Senators (31-22-8) moved within two points of first-place Boston in the Northeast Division and one point behind Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for fifth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza each scored twice, Craig Anderson made 28 saves and the Ottawa Senators beat the New York Islanders 6-0 on Monday for their third straight win.
Karlsson opening the scoring 1:08 into the first period with his 11th of the season on a sharp-angle shot from the corner to the left of Islanders goaltender Kevin Poulin. Spezza, who has seven goals and eight assists in his last six games, made it 2-0 just 27 seconds later.
Islanders coach Jack Capano then yanked Poulin for Al
Montoya but Ottawa kept pouring it on.
Karlsson made it 3-0 at 14:03 of the first with a low shot from the slot. It was the fourth career two-game game for the 21-year-old Karlsson, Ottawa's first-round draft pick in 2008.
Chris Phillips added a powerplay goal at 9:37 of the second and Brian Lee became the third Senators defenseman to score with his first of the season at 9:49 of the third. Spezza completed the scoring at 10:57 with a powerplay score for his team-leading 27th goal of the season.
Karlsson also had assists on the final two goals. The Swedish defenseman leads the Senators with 45 assists.
It was the third shutout of the season for Anderson (28-19-6), who joined Ottawa in a trade with Colorado a year ago. The 30-year-old Anderson also moved into a tie with Henrik Lundqvist of
the New York Rangers for fourth place in goalie wins this season.
Ottawa improved to 16-11-5 on the road with its fourth win in five games overall after a seven-game losing streak. It was the Senators' most lopsided win of the season.
Ottawa also won 4-0 at Tampa Bay last Tuesday and 6-2 at Florida on Thursday.
New York remained six points behind Toronto for the conference's eighth and final playoff spot.
The Islanders, who also lost 6-0 at home against Boston on Nov. 19, were seeking consecutive victories for the first time since winning 2-1 in overtime at Ottawa on Feb. 3. They defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 at
The Islanders are 9-5-2 in their last 16 games and 14-9-2 in their last 25 contests, climbing back into the playoff race. They haven't reached the postseason since 2007.

New York is at Buffalo on Tuesday while the Senators return home to play the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
NOTES: The Senators have won all nine games in 2012 in which Spezza has scored. . The Islanders had won three straight over the Senators. . The Islanders are 19-40-14 all-time against the Senators. . Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson played his 1,111th NHL game and added his franchise-best 658th assist. Matt Moulson extended his games-played streak to 223.

Taylor named Pitcher of the Week after shutout
The Big 12 Conference named Kansas pitcher Thomas Taylor conference Pitcher of the Week Monday after his shutout win over Belmont Saturday.
Taylor threw 8.1 innings, allowing just four hits and striking out five as the Jayhawks defeated the Bruins 2-0 at the Music City Classic in Nashville, Tenn. The junior from Overland Park is the only returning starting pitcher in Kansas' weekend rotation, and his performance capped a perfect, 3-0 weekend for the baseball team.
Taylor is the first Kansas pitcher to receive the weekly accolade since T.J. Walz in 2010. Taylor's performance
headlined a weekend of dominant Kansas pitching.
Taylor made eight starts for Kansas in 2011, posting a 5-3 record with a 4.74 ERA, and Saturday's win was the first time not allowing a run in his collegiate career.
Picked ninth in the Big 12 coaches' poll, the Jayhawks are one of three Big 12 teams to finish the first weekend undefeated. No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 25 Baylor are also 3-0.
Kansas' next game is a Friday doubleheader against Mississippi Valley State in Starkville. Miss Taylor will take the mound for the Jayhaws on Saturday against Southeastern Conference power Mississippi State at 4 p.m.

Three skiers dead in the Cascades
STEVENS PASS, Wash. Three skiers were killed Sunday when an avalanche swept them about a quarter-mile down an out-of-bounds canyon at a popular resort, but a fourth skier caught up in the slide was saved by a safety device, authorities said.
The four were among three groups of skiers — about a dozen people in all — making their way through a foot and a half of fresh snow on the back side of Stevens Pass when the avalanche hit. Stevens Pass is in the Cascade
Mountains, about 80 miles north east of Seattle.
Most of the other skiers, all well-equipped, were able to free themselves and rushed to dig out the victims. They performed CPR on the three men to no avail, Larson said.
All were buried to some extent, but the men who died were swept approximately 1,500 feet down a chute in the Tunnel Creek Canyon area, King County, Sheriff's Set. Katie Larson said.

Baseball coach Ritch Price answers questions from the media during the Baseball Media Day at Allen Fieldhouse, Tuesday, Feb 14. Price opened the season with his 300th victory.
goal on her mind that could involve taking a trip overseas this summer.
"Well, it is an Olympic year," Geubelle said with a grin. "And I would really like to win a Big 12 Championship and NCAA Championship. I'm only here for two more years, so I'm running out of time. But the biggest goal is
staying healthy, staying competitive and improving upon my marks to the point where I can go into meets and come out on top"
Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes, and for Andrea practice has been the key. Strength and speed go a long way in horizontal jumps, but it takes technique to carry that speed into the middle phase of the jump after the takeoff and before landing. Everyone involved seems to agree that this will come with practice.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Ritch Price became Kansas' 32nd baseball coach 10 seasons ago. Now, after beating Middle Tennessee State 7-3. Price has accomplished something that only one other coach in Kansas baseball history has accomplished.
Price picked up his 300th victory as the Jayhawks' coach Friday night.
Only Floyd Temple has won more games than Price, winning 438 games from 1954-81. Price reached the milestone in just nine full seasons and one game Friday at Middle Tennessee State.
"I'm really honored to be the baseball coach at Kansas," Price said. "I don't think there's a man in America who enjoys their job as much as I do."
When Price took over the program after coaching at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for eight seasons, his friends told him he would have to be crazy to take the job. Kansas had terrible facilities and
"I want to thank our donors who have helped us improve our facilities so much in the 10 years I've been coaching here," Price said.
With facility improvements and Price's ability to teach and recruit young players, Kansas baseball has seen an unprecedented period of success. Under Price, Kansas has recorded seven 30-plus win seasons, and 44 players have been drafted or signed by professional baseball clubs.
had never reached the Big 12 tournament.
"I got a bunch of texts today wishing me good luck from former players today and I think that's what it's all about," Price said. "It's a player's game."
Price joins a group of just three active Big 12 coaches with 300 career victories with one team. Only Baylor's Steve Smith, Missouri's Tim Jamieson and Texas' Augie Garrido have also reached the 300-win club.
Price's son Ritchie played for his dad at Kansas from 2003-2006 and now coaches with his dad as
"The movements that we're trying to get her to do just aren't natural for her yet, but the more you work on it the better you get at it," jumping coach Wayne Pate said.
"I probably watched games since 8th or 9th grade," Dreiling said. "I've been around and seen a lot of the things he's done here. It means a lot to be a part of his 300th win here."
Designated hitter Jordan Dreiling grew up in Lawrence and went to Free State High School. He said he knows what Price has meant to the program.
"Baseball is a game with so much failure and no matter how tough it is he's staying positive," Ritchie said. "His teams play hard all the way through the year. His guys enjoy coming to the yard."
an assistant coach. Ritchie said he has learned a lot from watching the way his dad coaches the game.
Price has compiled a 300-250-2 record with the Jayhawks since 2002, but he's not satisfied yet.
"Hopefully we will keep pushing away and find a way to get another 300 before I'm done," Price said.
Andrea has been battling pains in her knees from the constant jumping of recent meets and practices, but she says it is nothing she has not seen before and will not keep her from jumping.

One thing that is not so easy to agree upon is the potential that Geubelle has in her legs. She has been told by some coaches that she could one day jump as far as 48

in front of somebody, if they reach it you set another one." Pate said. "She works hard, though. She has no fear in anything we do and obviously she doesn't like to lose. Those are three things you can't teach."

Junior guard Elijah Johnson prepares to pass the ball to his teammate as he moves around an opponent from Texas Tech during Saturday night's game against Texas Tech. Despite a tough second half, the Jayhawks won 83-50.
Second-half bad habits still plague the Jayhawks
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The layhawks did just about everything right in the first half on Saturday against Texas Tech. They made 57.7 percent of their shots. They stole the ball six times. Their often invisible bench outscored Texas Tech's reserves 13-2. The fans in Allen Fieldhouse enjoyed the dunk-happy show, and Kansas headed into halftime with a 44-22 lead.
Then in the second half, perhaps thinking that the Red Raiders never had a real shot at a comeback, or perhaps forgetting that scrapping game plans can lead to bad habits, the Jayhawks fell apart.
Texas Tech outscored Kansas 15-14 in the first 12 minutes of the second half. After the game, content with his team's abilities but frustrated with its mental lapses, coach Bill Self offered an explanation for the second-half errors.
"I knew we were in trouble in the first half whenever they put
the Thomas video on the board." Self said of junior forward Thomas Robinson's video for the fans. "Everybody watches it and they are laughing and giggling."
Unlike his team, Self wasn't tickled by the video. He said all he wants is consistent focus.
Something similar happened when the Oklahoma
"I knew we were in trouble in the first half whenever they put the Thomas video on the board."
With Texas A&M up on Wednesday, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor knows the importance of fixing this issue.
State Cowboys visited Lawrence on Jan. 11. The Jayhawks won 81-66, and there was never really a doubt about who was going to win the game. But just like on Saturday, Self was frustrated when his team struggled in the second half against the Cowboys. The Jayhawks led 51-24 going into halftime, but they were outscored 42-30 in the second half, which was marred with 11 turnovers, most of which resulted from full-court pressure.
"We didn't play the second half
BILL SELF Coach
the same way that we played the first," he said. "We have to finish out games. I think that is the biggest thing."
Robinson wasn't pleased with the second half either, but he
thinks that his team is improving in that regard.
"I think we're better at it - we're still not good at it - but you know, right now it's winding down and getting close to tournament time," Robinson said. "We can't use the excuse that it's still early anymore because regular season is almost over."

OLYMPICS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — Over and over, Mitt Romney takes credit for turning around the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City after a bribery scandal and says the success of the games is one big reason he should be president.
"My leadership helped save the Olympics from scandal and give our American athletes the chance to make us all proud," Romney said the night he won the Florida primary, his biggest victory of the Republican nomination fight so far.
Romney still credits himself for 2002 Winter Olympics
But is the credit deserved? And how much credit really goes to the federal government, which ended up paying nearly $600 million directly to support Olympic projects, much of it after Romney's urging?
He was putting his Olympics tenure back in the spotlight Saturday, speaking Saturday night at a celebration honoring the 10-year anniversary of the games. Romney planned to explain that his time running the Olympics is a fundamental part of the resume he's relying on as he runs for president.
Presidential rival Rick Santorum seized on just that, telling a tea party rally in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday that one of the things that Romney "talks about most is how he heroically showed up on the scene and bailed out and resolved the problems" of those Olympics.
"He heroically bailed out the Salt Lake City Olympic Games by heroically going to Congress and asking them for tens of millions of dollars to bail out the Salt Lake games — in an earmark, in an earmark for the Salt Lake Olympic Games."
The Romney campaign does not dispute that congressional earmarks helped save the games. But the campaign noted that Santorum voted for those earmarks, among many others, when he was a senator.
"Sometimes when you shoot from the hip, you end up shooting yourself in the foot." Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. "There is a pretty wide gulf between seeking money for post-9/11 security at the Olympics and seeking earmarks for polar bear exhibits at the Pittsburgh Zoo."
People who worked on the games with Romney do give him credit while emphasizing he had help.
"Did he save the games on his own, no," said Lane Beattie, who was the president of the Utah state Senate at the time and was the state's liaison with the committee Romney ran. But he "absolutely" made them more successful.
Romney took over the games in 1999 after its leaders were accused of sending money to members of the International Olympic Committee to help Salt Lake City win the games.
Romney ran the Olympic committee "like a business," Beattie said. "He demanded excellence and he brought in incredible people. ... It wasn't all Mitt. What he did was bring in the best and the brightest he could find and put them in the right place."
Romney acknowledged he had help.
The Salt Lake Olympic Committee ran a more than $1.4 billion effort conducted over many years and involving thousands of people. Still, he has made himself the very public face of the effort, claiming he personally cut millions from the budget, wooped major companies and won sponsorships himself and pulled the whole endeavor back from the brink of failure. His record in Salt Lake was the cornerstone of his run for governor in Massachusetts,
"He demanded excellence and he brought in incredible people ... It wasn't all Mitt."
LANE BEATTIE
President of Utah state Senate in 1999
a campaign he announced in March 2002, just weeks after the games concluded. And now, in the presidential campaign, he is unambiguous.
"I led an Olympics out of the shadows of scandal," he told conservative activists in a speech in Washington this month.
The games were held about five months later and security costs rose astronomically afterward.
Some critics say that's an oversell, and that fixing Salt Lake's problems was primarily an image problem.
But Romney doesn't mention the commitments the government had already made to cover costs associated with the games — or elaborate on his role in persuading congressional appropriators and critics to give the games more money.
He met Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, then the chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. And he wooed Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who along with Democratic Rep. John Dingell of Michigan had inquired about wasteful Olympic spending, resulting in a critical federal audit.
In the 2004 book he wrote about the games, called "Turnaround," Romney outlined how he revamped the Salt Lake Olympic Committee's lobbying operations in Washington. He directed plans to hire experienced transportation lobbyists — even highlighting how he poached one from another group that was trying to win earmarks for non-Olympic projects in Utah.
"Mitt, he was a great image for the games, he did instill confidence in people, but to say he saved us, that's misplaced," said Ken Bullock, who served on the organizing committee board. "It's something you can put on your resume, but I think you have to be careful of embellishing or padding your resume."
Romney also got some help he never acknowledges on the trail: millions from the federal government. His aides say much of it was for increased security costs after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
In one instance, Romney highlights how he made arrangements for different states to send experienced bus drivers to Utah to help transport people. Romney helped arrange to have them paid union wages, he wrote in the book, and he persuaded the federal government to pick up the tab.
One of the lessons he learned: "If you work at it long enough, there is always another way to get the help you need in Washington."
Democrats have already seized on Olympic spending under Romney's tenure. They point to the audit report that said the government planned to spend about $1.3 billion on the games, more than it had spent on previous American-hosted Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984 and Atlanta in 1996. In a web video released Friday, they called federal spending a "bailout" and pointed to scathing comments McCain made about the games.
McCain eventually called the games "an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs."

Rose recovers, helps Bulls defeat Hawks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored 23 points in his return from back pain, and the Chicago Bulls beat the struggling Atlanta Hawks 90-79 on Monday.
The Bulls were clinging to an 85-79 lead after a late 3-pointer by Jannero Pargo before Luol Deng nailed a 3 of his own to make it a

nine-point game. Rose then buried a turnaround jumper to make it 90-79 with 2:10 remaining and Chicago prevailed, sending Atlanta to its seventh loss in 10 games.
Rose also had six assists and five rebounds. Carlos Boozer added 16 points, Ronnie Brewer had 13, and Deng and John Lucas 10 apiece; Joakim Noah chipped in with 16 rebounds.
Pargo provided a big spark off the bench for Atlanta with a season-high 19 points, hitting five 3-pointers. Josh Smith added 12 points and 12 rebounds, but the Hawks came up short again.
They showed little life in the early going after being blown out by Portland on Sunday and paid for it in the end. They were without Marvin Williams, who missed the game because of a death in the family, but it's hard to believe he would have made that big a difference with the way the Bulls played early on.
Coming off one of their ugliest performances in two seasons under coach Tom Thibodeau, they quickly rediscovered their form while taking control.
Rose was his usual explosive self, whether he was freezing Jeff Teague with a wicked crossover or burying jumpers. He scored nine in the first quarter as the Bulls grabbed a 35-17 lead, and he had plenty of help with Deng and Brewer each adding seven points. It was a big difference from Saturday, when Chicago fell behind 22-3.

THE MORNING BREW What team will Peyton Manning choose?
W
With the NFL free agency nearing, one question stands out above the rest: where will former NFL MVP Peyton Manning end up?
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
One possible landing spot for Manning is the New York Jets.
Manning's current team, the Indianapolis Colts, finished last season tied for the worst record in the NFL at 2-14, and is heading towards a rebuilding year, so any future with him in the cards seems highly doubtful.
The lets will want to make waves this offseason because the team they share a stadium with, the New York Giants, just won the Super Bowl. The easiest way to do that is to sign Manning, the older brother of this year's Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning, to their team.
Having Peyton and Eli in the same city sounds like the New York media's dream scenario.
And Rex Ryan is never afraid of
putting his foot in his mouth by making outlandish statements. After the Super Bowl two seasons ago, Ryan wrote in his book "Play Like you Mean it," that the Jets would've won that Super Bowl had they not lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game.
In October of last year, he told the media that if he had been hired as the Chargers coach in 2007, he would've already won a couple of Super Bowls.
Yes, they have Mark Sanchez at quarterback, but honestly the "Sanchise" let
his true colors show last season when he ranked 23rd in the league in quarterback rating and his team lost its final three games to finish the season .500.
After the season, reports from some anonymous Jets players surfaced saying Sanchez had lost his teammates' confidence.
The move would also spark the rekindling of the Tom Brady-Manning rivalry. The two men played on a yearly basis as their teams competed for conference title after conference title throughout the last decade. If Manning played for the jets, the two quarterbacks would get to play twice a year and compete for the same division crown.
The Jets have a history of acquiring aging quarterbacks. They traded for Brett Favre after his relationship with the Packers soured in the summer of 2008. The Jets finished that season 9-7 and missed the playoffs, but the Jets have a much better defense and more
KU
talent now than they did in 2008.
But if Manning doesn't want to upstage his little brother in a season where Eli will be defending his Super Bowl title, there are many other potential suitors.
Recently, Seattle has emerged as a possible landing spot. And another team out west, the Arizona Cardinals, is intriguing because it would match Manning with one of the top receivers in the league in Larry Fitzgerald.
Arizona did revitalize Kurt Warner's career. And if that doesn't work, there are an abundance of retirement communities in the area.

COMMENTARY
FULL-COURT FRUSTRATIONS
Camping system works
Edited by Gabrielle Schock
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
if it's not broken, don't try to fix it.
Feb. 25 could be one of the most memorable days in the history of Allen Fieldhouse, and students should keep that in mind rather than argue over camping groups.
The Kansas basketball camping system survived a week of upheaval after a 59-57 vote decided to retain the traditional lottery system for the remainder of the season. The campers' votes shot down a tier system that supposedly gave the most dedicated 24 camping groups priority seating for the upcoming Missouri game.
I can see the reasons for implementing a tier system or an incentive for attending the lotteries, but at the same time, it goes against the very concept of a lottery.
While most college students are asleep, these camping groups showed up to Allen Fieldhouse every day at 6 a.m., but now the "Select 24" don't want to see casual campers cash in on undeserved hard work, drawing a top seat to the Missouri game. I understand the frustration, but that's just the nature of a lottery — anyone can win.
According to the KU Athletics website, the official camping rules have remained the same since at least December 2004. There have been many highly anticipated games at Allen Fieldhouse in that time, and the current camping system worked fine then. Why change it?
When the cheapest listing on StubHub.com for Saturday's game is $450 a corner ticket, there's no reason to complain about student section seats.
The way the camping operators implemented the rule is what ultimately doomed the amendment.
Had the camping incentive rule been made public knowledge from day one, then it may have passed in the re-vote. There are camping groups that camp for every game, but can't make the lotteries. Many would have found a way had they known about this rule.
Even if the incentive rule was enacted during the first lottery of the season, there was no public announcement of any kind. An official camping rules sheet hangs on the window next to the sign-up sheet, and this new rule remained absent. The Twitter page for Kansas basketball camping never acknowledged this rule until last week. The fact that the rule was kept so under wraps makes it seem selfishly motivated.
The students sometimes don't realize how lucky they are. As a blue-blood program, the demand for tickets inside Allen Fieldhouse is always high, but Kansas rewards 4,000 seats (24.5 percent) to its students at one of the best spots in the venue. Kansas could easily follow Kentucky's example, where a majority of Rupp Arena's student section is far from the action, giving the premium seats to high-paying donors.
WORK IN PROGRESS
KANSAS 42 MIZZOU 30
rreshman guard, Natalie Knight, drives past her MU opponent on her way to the hoop on Saturday's game against the Tigers at Allen Fieldhouse. Knight played a total of 39 minutes in their game against Mizzou.
CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
Saturday afternoon's game did not start off the way Natalie Knight envisioned.
Knight, a freshman guard from Olathe, did not attempt a shot against Missouri.
Going into halftime, the Jayhawks trailed by 15 points.
Earlier in the week, coach Bonnie Henrickson sent Knight a text message reminding her to be an aggressor on the offensive end. At halftime against the Tigers, Knight again received a reminder to be aggressive offensively, but this time it was verbal.
Knight made two crucial threepointers as a part of 10-point surge to get Kansas within striking distance of Missouri.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, there was never a chance to build on Knight's success. The team dropped an important game to the Tigers, extending their losing streak to three games.
"Basically everyone has to be more aggressive," Knight said. "Carolyn was basically averaging 20 points a game, so we got to make up for it somewhere and we're starting to realize that a little bit more."
Developing the offense after junior forward Carolyn Davis' knee injury continues to be a work in progress for Kansas.
"It's a lot on them because we can't change everything we have," Henrickson said. "We still need people to step up and be more aggressive."
One player who gave good minutes off the bench was sophomore forward Tania Jackson. She finished with 11 points and seven rebounds against Missouri and stepped up when freshman forward Chelsea Gardner struggled against the Tigers' front court.
"We felt like from experience standpoint, from a rivalry standpoint. She [Jackson] knew what that was going to feel like. Chelsea had no idea what that was going to feel like"Henrickson said.
Henrickson was also frustrated by the team's inability to guard Missouri. The Jayhawks allowed the Tigers to shoot 57.4 percent from the field.
"We just didn't show up to play, and with a game of that magnitude and what we had on the line, that's inexcusable," Henrickson said.
In tonight's match-up at Texas Tech against the Red Raiders, the Jayhawks will rely on Gardner and Jackson to help senior center Kierra Mallard. At 6-foot-3, Mallard draws the most attention under the basket. Currently, she's averaging 11.6 points and eight rebounds per game.
Knight said ball pressure will be kev for lavahawk victory.
Henrickson also said Knight has turned into a scoring threat on this team, especially since key veteran, junior guard Monica Engleman, hasn't played at the level Henrickson feels she's capable of.
"She has bailed us out and saved us all year. I'm just frustrated I have to ask her to do more," Henrickson said.
Another help to the layhawks is junior Angel Goodrich, who continues to play consistent at the point guard position. So far this season, Goodrich has dished out 200 assists, and she's only eight away from breaking the University's single-season record.
"I just give thanks to my teammates because I wouldn't be able to have assists if they didn't make the shots," Goodrich said.

TRACK AND FIELD
Geubelle sets high goals for season
MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com
The No. 6 ranked track and field team is tied for the highest ranking in head coach Stanley Redwine's career at Kansas. This move in the polls comes after a meet in which the 4-x-400 meter relay team reached the automatic qualification time for the NCAA Championship meet. That news may not even be the biggest reason for the recent jump of eighteen spots.
It could be junior horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle's recent performances that earned her recognition as Big 12 Track and Field Female Athlete of the Week last week.
This is the second time that Geubelle has won the award this season. She is already a five time All-American. So far this season she has won three event titles in the triple jump and one in the long jump. The most recent victory for
Geubelle was at the Husky Classic on Feb. 11 in her home state of Washington, where the familiar settings helped her set a personal record in both the long jump and triple jump.
"Getting a PR [personal record] in both events I think just kind of proved to everybody back home that things are going good here at KU and that the school I chose is working out for me and my coach is great," Guebelle said. "Having that much support helped a lot but at the same time probably put a lot of pressure on me. And obviously coming back here (to Lawrence) and hearing I won Big 12 Athlete of the Week is awesome."
The native of University Place, Wash., is focused on winning championships in the time she has left at Kansas and has a good idea of what that would require. Oh, and there is one more

Anxiety hinders students' ability to complete exams
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
Forgetting to wear clothes is a common nightmare that people have when they are anxious about something. But, anxiety can have the real effect of causing students to forget the answers to exam questions.
"Test anxiety is experienced by most students," said Ryan Staley, a psychology doctoral student interning at Counseling and Psychology Services. "To what extent it interferes with their performance varies based on how well students manage that anxiety."
Preston White, a graduate student from Overland Park, said he experienced test anxiety during his undergraduate years at the University. Although he would adequately study for exams, White found himself drawing a blank on questions he knew he had learned the answers to.
All the while, he said, his palms grew sweaty, his heart rate increased and his mind raced as he tried to come up with the solution. Unfortunately, White would end up with a less-than-desirable grade as a result.
"As soon as I walked out the door after taking a test, I was able to calm down and remember the answers." White said.
White sees his test anxiety as his body's response to a perceived threat: the grade's potential effect on his future. His body generated a fight-or-flight response, he said, which is the instinctual response to anything posing a threat. However, this stress reaction inhibits one's ability to recall information for an exam, he said, rather than do what nature intended, such as escape from a predator.
White found that calming himself before the test and realizing that the grade for one test was not going to sink his entire future helped him with his anxiety.
"Not caring as much allows you to remain calmer during a test and recall the information." White said.
However, anxiety can occur during preparation as well, which Stephen Vincent, a graduate student from Lawrence, experienced during his undergraduate years.
Anxiety makes test preparation more difficult, because you're on edge and stress out while you're studying, which makes it harder to learn the material." Vincent said.
Gradually, Vincent learned to start studying earlier for tests, to keep up with the material taught during lessons and to not procrastinate, all of which helped alleviate his anxiety.
"All it takes is a few classes where you can't do that to change your habits," Vincent said.

VOLUNTEERISM
Music mentors work with kids
The Center for Community Outreach program is not just for music majors
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Music has never been easier to buy or hear, but for underprivileged kids, learning to play a musical instrument can seem like an unattainable goal. That's where Music Mentors come in.
Music Mentors, a volunteer program run through the Center for Community Outreach, pairs underprivileged elementary and middle school students who want to learn to play an instrument with volunteer instructors. Most kids want to learn piano, although others hope to play the saxophone, drums, guitar, violin, viola, flute or trombone.
The mentor meets with the student for at least 30 minutes a week. Some group members mentor multiple students for longer periods of time, teaching in practice rooms at Murphy Hall or at the child's house, said Karina Burda, co-coordinator
Sarah Duarte, a senior from Hutchinson, began mentoring kids two years ago as a way to stay involved with music without having to major in it. This year, she is teaching a brother and sister in elementary school in back-to-back hour-long lessons once a week. Balancing her hectic schedule with the kids' and parents' schedules can present challenges.
"Sometimes it's tough because I'm busy with classes and I work two part-time jobs," Duarte said. "But once I'm actually there in the lesson, it's fun. It's great to see the kids."
for Music Mentors and a junior from Overland Park.
Duarte, who learned to play the piano when she was in the fourth grade, said that learning to play an instrument at a young age is a valuable experience.
"For one, it teaches you discipline because you have to go practice when you're at home so you're ready to come to your lesson," Duarte said.
For Rebecca Smith, a junior from Lake Zurich, Ill., working with children has helped reinforce her plan for the future. She originally wanted to study clinical laboratory science but realized that music was her true passion. Smith is now studying to become an elementary school music teacher.
A mentor for more than two years, Smith has continued to teach her first student and now teaches two others how to play the piano each week. All the kids are under the age of 10, which has helped prepare her for the challenges of teaching music to young children.
One of the hardest parts is making abstract musical concepts seem relatable and fun, Smith said. Sometimes, it requires creativity. To teach her students the difference in dynamic levels — how loud or soft the
"As a college student, you kind of forget how much fun it is to be a kid," Smith said. "So when you get to work with someone every week, it sort of re-instills that childlike mentality."
music is — Smith related each level to a facial feature. The forehead was loud because it is positioned highest on the face, followed by the eyes, nose and mouth. Getting to think about music as a child does is one of her favorite parts of being a mentor.
She also enjoys being the person who is able to provide a music education to kids who might otherwise never get a chance to learn to play an instrument.
"For a lot of kids, music is their escape or the fun part of their day," Smith said. "And so to give them the opportunity, I can't even put into words how it feels."
CRIME
Indecent exposure rises on campus
RACHEL SALYER
Edited by Katie James
rsalyer@kansan.com
This month, reports of indecent exposure on campus have been more frequent than usual.
Since 2009, only three cases have been reported to the University Office of Public Safety, and two of those cases occurred this month, in which four people were cited for indecent exposure.
The first incident occurred Feb. 2 at Oliver Residence Hall, when three female students were streaking down the hallway. The second incident occurred Feb.12, when a victim saw a man masturbating in a car parked near GSP and Corbin Halls. University police located the suspect a few days later based on the victim's description of suspect's
vehicle and cried him for the offense.
All suspects were issued municipal tickets from the city for violating its offenses against morals and decency ordinance.
The ordinance is defined in Lawrence city code as "any person who
willfully exposes his or her person or private parts in any public place or from any place which is reasonably calculated to be viewed from a public place, shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor."
"Any person who willfully exposes his or her person or private parts in any public place,or from any place which is reasonably calculated to be viewed from a public place, shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor." The ordinance specifies private parts as "male and female genitalia, buttocks and female breast."
Bailey said it can be potentially harmful to students whose future careers may include a background check.
The ordinance specifies private parts as "male and female genitalia, buttocks and female breast."
"If caught and convicted, it goes on your criminal record," Bailey said. "Whatever you do after the age of 18 can stay with you."
Connor Moyland, a senior from Overland Park, said he thinks there should be various degrees of punishment for indecent exposure offenses.
Schuyler Bailey, University police captain, said indecent exposure may be a funny joke to students, but it could have serious consequences.
"It could come back and keep you from doing something that you really want to do," Bailley said. "Potential employers can look at that, especially if you're doing something that needs a security clearance or going into the field of education."
"I don't think it's fair that all cases are treated the same," Moyland said. "I could've been in trouble for mooning someone in high school, but I think a warning would work
in some cases and then a ticket on the second offense"
Bailey said the suspect reported to be masturbating may have been charged with breaking the state's lewd and lascivious behavior law, applicable to suspects exposing a sex organ in public with the intent to gratify a sexual pleasure, but University police did not have enough evidence to do so.
Eric Wong, a senior from Lenexa, said that the punishment for indecent exposure may not be ideal for all situations, but laws need to be followed.
"The law is the law," Wong said. Nothing can be perfect in all situations, but they work in most, and I don't really think there's a better way to deal with indecent exposure."

CAMPUS
Students, crews adapt during power outage
A power outage that shut down half of campus and lasted for more than an hour yesterday was triggered by an unexpected cause: a mouse.
ELISE REUTER
ereuter@kansan.com
According to University News and Media Relations Director Jill Jess, the connection from one of the campus' buildings to the power plant was affected, causing 10 buildings to lose power, including the Kansas Union, Watson Library, the Spencer Museum of Art, several buildings on the east side of campus and some scholarship halls.
Index
The power went out at 2:10 p.m. and was fully restored at 3:30 p.m. Several shops in the Union were closed because of the lack of power, but the building was not evacuated because generators provided sufficient power for lights, computers and KJHK to continue working.
While maintenance resolved the issue, stores closing their doors lost some business. Casey Bear, a junior from Baldwin, was working at Pulse Coffee and Smoothies when the power shut off.
The routine during a power outage is to have technicians and maintenance staff for the Union meet and discuss the situation, said Wayne Pearse, the director of building services. The elevators are checked immediately after a power outage to make sure no one is stuck, then emergency fire doors are checked to make sure they are still open.
"The Internet is down, our phone lines are down," Bear said. "We have two coolers, and the ice cream freezers in The Market downstairs are also turned off. Our gates are automatic, so we can't close them. We're just stuck here for a while."
The process of bringing the building back to power afterward can be even more complicated; turning everything on at the same time could cause another lapse in power.
"The real fun starts when the power starts back up, and you are making sure everything is working." Pearse said. "I think technicians on this campus are the unsung heroes when things go wrong."

POLITICS
Super PACs gain power over GOP candidates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An unmistakable dynamic is playing out in the money game among Republican presidential candidates: New "super" political action committees are growing more powerful than the campaigns they support.
For two of the GOP front-runners, their supportive super PACs raised more money and have more cash left in the bank than the candidates' own campaigns. Helping their efforts are major financial gifts from wealthy business executives, whose contributions can be essential to the groups' continued operations.
The Mitt Romney-leaning Restore Our Future and Newt Ginngrich-supportive Winning Our
Future raised a combined $17 million last month and spent nearly $24 million during the period. That financial strength allowed the groups to splash the airwaves in key primary states with millions of dollars in TV ads.
Restore Our Future, which had $16 million cash on hand, has been boosted by more than two dozen repeat donors. Winning Our Future, which had $2.4 million in the bank, is largely supported by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife.
Meanwhile, Romney raised $6.5 million last month and had $7.7 million left for his presidential bid, while Gingrich's presidential campaign raised $5.5 million during the period and had about $1.8 million in cash remaining.

Recent economic growth eases recession worries
NEW YORK The Dow Jones industrial average crossed 13,000 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2008, when the Lehm Brothers investment bank was solvent, unemployment a healthy 5.4 percent and the worst of the Great Recession months ahead.
The milestone came about two hours into the trading day. The stock market got the final push from strong corporate earnings reports and a Greek bailout deal intended to prevent the next financial crisis.

BRUSSELS — The countries that use the euro pulled Greece back from an imminent and potentially catastrophic default on Tuesday, when they finally stitched together a 130 billion euro ($170 billion) rescue they hope will also provide a lifeline to their common currency.
European Union rescues Greece from financial doom
But the patchwork of measures — including the implementation of austerity measures in Greece and approval by skeptical German and Dutch Parliaments — required to give the rescue a chance of success means it's unlikely to be the end of the continent's debt crisis.
The finance ministers from Greece and the other 16 countries that use the euro wrangled until the early morning hours over the details of the rescue, squeezing last-minute concessions out of private holders of Greek debt.
The eurozone and the International Monetary Fund, which will be providing the money for the new bailout, hope the new program will eventually put Greece back into a position where it can survive without external support and secure its place in the euro currency union.
The accord seeks to reduce Greece's massive debts on all fronts, with both
private and official creditors going beyond what they had said was possible in the past.
On top of the new rescue loans, Athens will also ask banks and other investment funds to forgive it some 107 billion euro ($142 billion) in debt, while the European Central Bank and national central banks in the eurozone will forgo profits on their holdings.
MIDDLE EAST
The deal "closes the door to an uncontrolled default that would be chaos for Greece and Greek people," said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
Iran may extend oil embargo in EU
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has laid out conditions for future oil exports to other European countries after halting sales to Britain and France earlier this week, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.
The remarks by the spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparasat, came a day after oil prices jumped to a nine-month high above $105 a barrel following Iran's announced halts in crude shipments in an escalation of the dispute over the country's nuclear program.
Tehran also said Monday it was considering extending the oil embargo to other European Union countries. The halt in crude to British and French
companies was an apparent pre-emptive blow against the EU after the bloc imposed sanctions on Iran's fuel exports, including a freeze of the country's central bank assets and an oil embargo set to begin in July.
Many Western countries fear Iran's nuclear program masks ambitions to build atomic weapons, and have carried out a string of sanctions aimed to press Iran to cooperate. Iran denies the charges, saying its program is for civilian-sector uses, such as generating electricity.
Mehmanparast told reporters Tuesday that Tehran seeks guarantees of payments, long term contracts and a ban on unilateral cancellation of contracts.

Senegalese presidential candidate accused of recruiting a militia
DAKAR, Senegal — Senegal's government said Monday that one of the candidates vying to unseat the nation's elderly leader in this week's election has recruited a militia to instill chaos and make the country ungovernable.
Serigne Mbace Ndiave, spokesman for Senegal's 85-year-old President Abdoulaye Wade, refused to identify the candidate and said that authorities would reveal the breadth of the plot in coming days. He said that the unnamed candidate had appointed a retired army colonel to recruit a militia, made-up of 200
ex-soldiers.
"Beyond these 200 soldiers recruited and led by the colonel, there are also youths being recruited in the neighborhoods and in the interior of the country." Mbacke said.
"Those who think that we don't know, let them understand that we have formally identified them. We know who's in charge of recruiting, how much they are paid per day, who is financing it," he said. "Those that are behind this plot are after one thing only — blood."

University opposes pending concealed-carry legislation
LAARON COUCH

KU students may be allowed to pack guns along with their books and mp3 players when they head to class some time in the near future.
A proposed bill in the state legislature would make Kansas just one of four states that currently allow concealed guns on its campuses, according to armed-campuses.org; the other states are Utah, Colorado, Michigan and Virginia. It's a possibility that has evoked an intense response from gun advocates, educators and students and has sparked a debate about the best way to keep university campuses safe.
Since 2007, Kansas has issued concealed-carry permits to applicants who are 21 or older, pass a criminal background check and participate in an eight-hour firearm course, according to the Kansas Attorney General's website. The permit gives holders the right to carry a concealed gun into any business or public building that does not have a "no guns allowed" sign at its entrance.
In 2010, Rep. Forrest Knox (R-Altoona) proposed a similar bill that would allow concealed weapons on campus, but although it passed in the House, it stalled in the Senate.
The Kansas Board of Regents and police chiefs from nine Kansas colleges and universities oppose the measure, saying it would make campuses less safe and make things more chaotic if a tragedy unfolds.
"The University of Kansas opposes allowing concealed weapons on campus, as doing so would not improve public safety and would make it harder for law enforcement officers to respond to a crisis," wrote Jack Martin from the Public Affairs Office in an email.
"The chaos that surrounds a shooting situation is enormous, and people don't realize that," Oliver said. "The last problem we need when we get there is to figure out if two guys are shooting at each other, who's the bad guy?"
University Police Chief Ralph Oliver agrees with Martin.
Senate's office did not respond to a request for comment on whether it would address the issue. Student Body President Libby Johnson told The Kansan she was against the bill.
The student governments of four state universities have come out against the bill, but Student
A GUN-FRIENDLY CAMPUS
Similar debates are raging throughout the country. Last year, legislation was introduced in 18 states that would allow concealed carry on college campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislature's website. Mississippi passed a law allowing guns on campus if concealed carry holders took an additional gun-safety class. However, the law is not being honored by all universities in the state. Some continue to ban weapons from campus, saying it goes against their student code of conduct for

"People sometimes lose their temper. If they've got a gun on, its much more dangerous than if they don't."
ALLAN HANSON Professor of anthropology
Sgt. Justin Sprague, an employee at Utah Valley University, said concealed carer hadn't changed his job much, and most university officers "don't have an issue with it."
Sprague said he has not seen any gun violence on campus since the law passed, though he occasionally deals with students who want to carry guns openly in holsters; one young man said he wanted to keep his gun in a holster so terrorists would know not to mess with him.
Utah is the only state in the country that explicitly allows concealed carry on its university campuses, a law that has been in place since 2008.

CAN CONCEALED CARRY PREVENT TRAGEDY?
Sprague is questioning one of the major arguments for concealed carry: whether or not a good Samaritan with a gun might stop a tragedy.
Police are trained to fire guns under extreme pressure when adrenaline is high; concealed-carry users are not, Sprague said. He said he doubts concealed-carry users would have the skill to stop a shooter in a high-pressure situation.
"Adrenaline changes everything." Spraugue said.
Gun-advocacy groups think otherwise. They don't think that legalizing concealed carry would affect crime rates.
"If you look through the news, you don't see the dire things happening they say would happen," said Robert Auten, who is employed by Kansas State University but volunteers his time as state director of the national advocacy group Students for Concealed Carry on Campus.
Gun advocates also say crime statistics tend to drop in concealed-carry states. However, researchers have disputed that, saying statistics are too complicated to be explained by just one factor.
However, Chief Oliver said on the off chance that a concealed-carry holder would stop a campus crime is far outweighed by its drawbacks. Most people who commit shootings have no previous criminal record, so a background check does not ensure lawful behavior in the future, Oliver said.
Knox said his bill is about giving students options for their safety, but he does not expect college campuses will become violent.
He also pointed out that concealed-carry permit holders go through background checks and a safety course.
"Life doesn't function like that," Oliver said. "There are no absolutes. There are no guarantees."

Then came the Navy SEALs raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan last year, and a high-profile hostage rescue in Somalia last month. President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address and gave a shout out to SEALs, with Adm. Bill McRaven, the SEAL and bin Laden raid commander, sitting quietly in Obama's box.
WASHINGTON — Navy SEALs never expected the film "Act of Valor," starring real, active-duty Navy SEALs, to be this big.
Navy SEALs movie turns mainstream
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOLLYWOOD
Five years ago, commanders allowed a small, independent film company into their elite ranks to turn real-life training exercises into a feature-length movie in hopes of drumming up recruits fast.
Now, the once modest recruiting project is set to open Feb. 24 in roughly 2,500 theaters nationwide, putting an uncomfortable spotlight on a group that prides itself on keeping its collective mouth shut about clandestine operations.
The officers and staff who helped bring the film about spoke on condition of anonymity because they are embarrassed by the massive media blitz and public interest, and — most of all — they are tired of getting grief from their special operations colleagues, whose daring exploits haven't made it into the headlines.
Special operations commander McRaven said he didn't think the film gave anything away to the enemy, nor would it put in danger the SEALs who starred in it.

NEW ORLEANS — Bathed in spring like warmth and showered with trinkets, beads and music, New Orleans revealed in the excesses of Fat Tuesday.
A seemingly endless stream of costumed marching groups and ornately-decorated float parades led by make-believe royalty poured out of the Garden District, while the French Quarter filled up with thrill seekers expecting to see debauchery.
And they did.
Some in the Quarter had a sleepless night after Monday's Lundi Gras prequel party. The drinking was in full swing again shortly after dawn, and with it came outrageous costumes and flesh-flashing that would continue until police make their annual attempt to break up the merry-making at midnight, when Lent begins.
Pete Fountain makes a toast to start the day-long celebration of Mardi Gras while leading his Pete Fountain's Half Fast Walking Club on its trek through the streets of New Orleans on Feb. 21. This is the last day of the Mardi Gras celebration ending at midnight, after a day-long celebration of parades, marching groups and people in costumes.
Tom White, 46, clad in a pink tutu, bicycled with his wife, Allison, to the French Quarter. "I'm the pink fairy this year," he said. "Costuming is the real fun of Mardi Gras. I'm not too creative but when you weigh 200 pounds and put on a tutu people still take your picture."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
His wife was not in costume. "He's disgraced the family enough." she said.
"They're torturing me," the Denver woman joked. "But I'll be OK after a bloody mary."
Brittany Davies struggled with her friends through the morning, feeling the effects of heavy drinking from the night before.
The predominantly African- American Zulu krewe was the first major parade to hit the streets, shortly after 8 a.m. Most krewe members were in
Indeed, the theme of the day was party hard and often.
In New Orleans, the streets filled with hundreds of thousands of people.
Wearing a bright orange wig, a purple mask and green shoes. New Orleans resident Charlotte Hamrick walked along Canal Street to meet friends.
"I'll be in the French Quarter all day," Hamrick said. "I don't even go to the parades. I love to take pictures of all the costumes and just be with my friends. It's so fun."
Across the globe, people dressed up in elaborate costumes and partied the day away. In Rio de Janeiro, an estimated 850,000 tourists joined the city's massive five-day blowout. Meanwhile, the Portuguese, who have suffered deeply in Europe's debt crisis, defied a government appeal to keep working.
Police reported no major incidents along the parade route.
thetraditional black-face makeup and the Afro wigs Zulu riders have sported for decades. They handed out the organization's coveted decorated coconuts and other sought-after trinkets.
In the oak-lined Garden District, clarinetist Pete Fountain led his Half-Fast Walking Club on its annual march to the French Quarter.
Fountain, 82, gave a thumbs-up to start off and his band launched into "When The Saints Go Marching In" as they rounded the corner onto St. Charles Avenue shortly after 7 a.m. It was the 52nd time that Fountain's group has paraded for Mardi Gras. This year, the group wore bright yellow suits and matching pink pie hats for its theme, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
Costumes were the order of the day, ranging from the predictable to the bizarre.
Wearing a purple wig, New Orleans resident Jil Shipley carried
a gallon of booze down Bourbon Street and filled her friends' cups when they got low. "We're going to wander all day and people-watch," Shipley said. "That's the best part of Mardi Gras — the costumes. They're amazing."
Partygoers were dressed as Wizard of Oz characters Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, bags of popcorn, pirates, super heroes, clowns, jesters, princesses and lots of homemade costumes with the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.
At New Orleans' antebellum former city hall, Mayor Mitch Landrieu toasted Zulu's monarchs and special guests. Among them was New Orleans native and former U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young who was on a float with National Urban League President Marc Morial, a former mayor of New Orleans, his wife, Michelle, and their two children.

RELATIONSHIPS
Things may be serious in a relationship, but moving in together may or may not be the answer.
Relationships in college can, to say the least, be a bit difficult. If you're actually looking for a relationship, first you have to find someone interested in something more meaningful than exaggerated friction in the Boom Boom Room.
Then, you have to find vaguely common interests, enjoying the other's company, considering the other to be attractive, all before outside factors interfere: classes, studying, activities and organizations, working, meetings, relationships with family and friends, deadlines. It's a balancing act.
Along with this lack of foresight, what if you realize the relationship isn't working even while you live together, with six months to go in your lease? If that relationship fails, then home will become not a place to relax and catch up on "Dr. Who," but one filled with tension, awkwardness, or even hurt. (Not to mention what if you lived together, broke up, and then you start to date someone new—no sleepovers at your place.)
I fully believe that healthy, caring and loving relationships are possible, even while college stereotypes equate a long-term relationship with anything past the morning after. However, living with someone you're dating in college will most likely tip the scales.
To start off, there's the simple fact that most college students lack emotional maturity to live with someone with whom they are romantically involved. Physiologically, we do not finish maturing until the end of a typical college career. This explains why that person who lives down the hall from you has signed a lease with his or her boyfriend or girlfriend of a few months for next year. During college, the mass majority have simply not developed fully the ability to foresee the future.
Some couples show that they can, indeed, make living together during college work for them. But these are the exception, the rarity, and couples considering living together in college have to ask themselves—if they were to weigh the strength of their relationship, would they find it perfectly balanced?

Living with a significant other drastically accelerates your maturation process as an independent adult through better understanding your own personal weaknesses and areas you need to improve on. You realize personal problem areas of your own that when addressed allow you to live a more fulfilling life in the future with or without your significant other.
Moving in with your boyfriend or girlfriend simulates post-graduation realities and also helps build your interpersonal skills outside of romantic relationships, such as work or family relationships. You may not have your post-graduation life planned out yet, but that shouldn't motivate you to avoid being with someone you care about.
While living with other people can certainly speed up the maturity process by making people examine their behavior better, I don't see how living with a significant other helps one become independent. If anything, it encourages co-dependency; I've known couples who I literally can't conjure memories of being physically apart. While this is the extreme, living with someone you date can easily cause you to lose your sense of independence.
Emotional involvement in a significant relationship of any sort can help develop interpersonal skills in other interactions. Yet, the true reality of post-graduation is that you and your significant other may move to opposite sides of the country—why add having to divvy up the furniture to an already emotionally rife situation?
There are assumptions that living with your significant other is more challenging and usually a negative circumstance. In the "Journal of Marriage and Family," researchers sampled more than 230 college couples. They found that men and women who lived together both reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction for both their overall relationship and sexual relationship than couples not living together.
In the "Journal of Marriage and Family," they claim to have found higher satisfaction levels. Yet, looking at the context of the situation, this is as the couples surveyed feel how the relationship stood at present—but what about the future? Dynamics in a relationship can easily and quickly change.
Sometimes, I like to wrap my blankets around me and pretend I'm a sushi.
W When we often think of an ideal romantic situation, it involves
Gwynn is a freshman in English from Olathe.
of an ideal romantic situation, it involves scenes from the latest popular romantic comedy. Unfortunately, love in today's world isn't simply an emotion. Love is a mix of emotions that manifests in consistent, loving behavior towards another. I know that line isn't a scene from "The Notebook," but it's the reality of the complicated environments we live in.
While some of the chivalrous romantic gestures are great for men to engage in, it is dangerous to think that such gestures be the foundation of a relationship. Besides the fact that women shouldn't compare their dating lives to fictional romantic comedies, relationships don't flourish or fail based on a bouquet of flowers or opening an extra door. Love is a consistent behavior. It is the consistent support, attention and care of one person to another.
Because of this, if someone is in a long-term relationship and it progresses to moving in together, then why stop it? Marriage skills in our culture are usually developed during marriage, not beforehand, as they should be.
Just because someone moves in with another doesn't mean the couple needs to marry. That's the point of moving in with someone. The smallest things will be annoying, but each person will grow significantly and as a couple. If a couple breaks up after moving in, than at least it didn't wait until after school and get married. Additionally, both partners have gained valuable relationship experience and knowledge of their own individual behavior in such circumstances.

At the end of the day, it is college and no one should be looking for someone to move in with. If students don't feel comfortable
moving in with their significant other, then that is OK. At the same time, students shouldn't let what is "cool" dictate their romantic lives. All I'm asking is just be open to the idea because isn't that what the frame of mind should be for a college student?

College is supposed to be a time of exploring who you are and growing within your identity, and while being in a romantic relationship can either help or hinder this growth, living together is a serious commitment.
Living together is a serious commitment. But so is growing within your identity. If you find yourself in a progressing romantic relationship and you are consciously avoiding taking the next step (i.e. moving in with your significant other), then you are more likely hindering the growth of your own identity by not being open to change.
Most college students are not ready for this emotional commitment as according to the Juvenile Justice Center, "The evidence now is strong that the brain does not cease to mature until the early 20s in those relevant parts that govern impulsivity, judgment, planning for the future, foresight of consequences... Indeed, age 21 or 22 would
be closer to the 'biological' age of maturity."
I think it is difficult to make overarching statements about college students that are wholly subjective in nature. While many college students might not be emotionally ready for such a situation, many others might be. If a student has a good support network (i.e. has open support from family and friends), and has developed a long-standing and communication-based relationship, then they are fine.
Living together puts you in a domestic situation with your significant other, without the actual strength of commitment marriage instills, or some other committed co-habitation relationship outside of the college bubble. College itself is a place of transition, from high school and childhood, to the workplace and adulthood.
Does it mean you think I'm stupid when you come up behind me and hit the crosswalk button after I've been standing here for five minutes?
American divorce rates have been high since the 1970s. Skills to maintain marriage is a rarity in our culture. What most likely maintains marriage commitment the most in our nation are the unpleasant consequences of getting a divorce versus just putting up with your current situation. By allowing couples in college who have positive support networks to go through some of the growing pains, it allows couples to actually develop those skills before they are married, not after.
Additionally, for many individuals, college ends up being less about transition, growth and development, and more about having a good time. You don't need to live with someone in college to grow, but in the right circumstances, it can be appropriate.

SOCIETY
Films and movies are more than entertainment
My two closest friends told me I was Holden Caulfield. Holden is the narrating protagonist of J.D. Salinger's novel "Catcher in the Rye." I was a high school junior at the time and had never read the book, but I did have a vague notion of its plot, which seemed noneventful to say the least. I'd gathered that my alleged fictional doppelganger was possibly crazy, definitely annoying and ended his journey in an insane asylum.
It was unsettling to have a fictional character be such a direct
In a moment of very defensive curiosity, I found myself reading this apparent manifesto of my character during some downtime at a bookstore. I read a few chapters, bought the book, finished it the next day and re怠ed with less shame than I'd expected that I was absolutely Holden Caulfield.
reflection of myself even in ways unobserved by my two friends. The line between fact and fiction became distorted. I was unable to consider Holden a fictional character anymore.
This is the root of why I'm angered by the idea that "Catcher" is a bad novel, which many students believe. I know for a fact, as I hope I've illustrated, that the book has truth and I have to wonder
I knew him, and whenever I attempted to disassociate myself from him, it seemed as dishonest as positing that I myself was a fictional character. "The Catcher in the Rye" became an invaluable and uncommon document of my young personhood from an objective viewpoint, allowing me to finally grow out of being Holden Caulfield, which I needed to do and may never have done otherwise.

what its haters were looking for in the first place. I don't care if people dislike Holden, but to transfer disdain for a character into a disdain for the book he inhabits signals that some don't know the difference, but more to the point, that some don't know why good novels exist in the first place.
Good authors like J.D. Salinger wrote their stories because they had a desire for exploration. What they were looking for and how was their own business, but that
Reflections of reality don't usually have that kind of flesh and blood, but Salinger found a way to give it to them and sometimes, as with "Rye," managed to remove his own voice from the narrative entirely. That is empathy, which neither fiction nor documentary can survive without from their audiences. If you can't relate to stories told by human beings about human beings on that basic level, then to whom outside yourself do your criticisms matter?
If your desires are limited to a need for "entertainment," then they reside in a very shallow place. Why don't you want to "laugh"? Why don't you want to "give a crap" or "discover" or "fall in love"? Those sound like desires worth pursuing. Life provides those things and if good stories are reflections of life, then they'll give those things. You won't know that's happening until you give back.

KANSAS TIPOFF
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KU
AT A GLANCE
Attention has been diverted by many to Saturday, possibly the final game against Missouri. But coach Bill Self insisted that his team won't utter the name "Missouri" until the Texas A&M game is finished. The Aggies boast the Big 12's best scoring defense with 60.2 points allowed per game, just .2 points better than Kansas. On Saturday against Texas Tech, the Jayhawks started fast, then faded in the second half. Kansas still won 83-50, but focus was inconsistent in the second half. There will likely be less room for error tonight.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
When the Jayhawks started to unravel in the second half on Saturday, Taylor was perhaps the biggest reason. In 13 second-half minutes

he scored two points and committed three turnovers. Taylor will have to keep his team in attack mode for both halves against a stingy Aggies defense.
Will the offense show up?
QUESTION MARK
The Jayhawks lead the Big 12 with a 49.1 field goal percentage in conference play. However, in the first half against the Aggies on Jan. 23, they shot just 37.9 percent. Junior forward Thomas Robinson has averaged 13 points in his past two games and may need to provide more offense than that to pull out the victory on the road.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks have a balanced attack. Coach Bill Self said he thinks the team is better when they aren't depending on one or two players to do all the scoring. In the victory against Texas Tech Saturday, four Jayhawks scored in double figures.

poundts continue to harp on his poor shooting. Johnson has connected on 27.9 percent of his threes. But let's consider something else. The Jayhawks lead the conference in fieldgoal percentage defense with 38.1 percent per game. That's 4.4 percent better than secondplace Kansas State. Self thinks Johnson is a primary reason.

THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
★★★★★
Robinson has had a few scoring efforts that are considered low for his standards, but he also hasn't been needed much. Junior center Jeff Withey has shined offensively, easing Robinson's workload. Once the two start clicking, interior offense will come in bunches and Kansas' shooters will have even more room to work with.
ALEXANDER J. KEHN
Withey has morphed into what coach Bill Self dreamed of way-back-when. He has become a reliable offensive option by the basket, has rebounded with energy and focus, and has continued to block and alter shots To keep it going, Withey must stay physical.

AT A GLANCE
The rebuilding year for Texas A&M continues. The Aggies are a disappointing 4-10 in Big 12 conference play and haven't been completely healthy for most of the season. Their two best players, junior forward Khris Middleton and senior guard Dash Harris, have both missed significant time because of injuries this season. Middleton is now 100 percent but Harris has missed the last seven games with a foot injury. He's expected to be play when Kansas comes to town, however. The first meeting between the two schools on Jan. 23 wasn't pretty, as A&M was able to slow things down to a snail's pace, with Kansas eventually winning, 64-54.

PETER A. NELSON
QUESTION MARK
Can the Aggies slow things down enough?
Harris has missed the last seven games with a foot injury and it's unknown if he'll be able to play against Kansas tonight. Conventional
The strategy to limit possessions in the first meeting worked a little bit, but it wasn't enough to pull off the upset. The Aggies should play better at home in Reed Arena, and if they can slow the game down and keep things close, the crowd should help them out in the second half.
wisdom says if he's close to being able to play, he will. The senior point guard is one of the team's leaders, and his absence in Big 12 play has certainly hurt the Aggies.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"This year has been tough on everybody, but this team will keep fighting no matter what."
- Texas A&M forward Khris Middleton on his team's season
Prediction:
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
KU
The slowed tempo frustrates Kansas. The Aggies will try to "muddy it up," as some pundits call it, by holding the ball and limiting possessions for each team. This is used to keep the game close, which keeps the Aggie crowd involved in the second half. It could also frustrate the Jayhawks if they aren't able to pull away early.

Jayhawks unaffected by upcoming rematch
Kansas must first focus on the Aggies, then the Tigers
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
There's some game coming up on Saturday, but you wouldn't know it by asking the Javahaws.
"We will not mention Missouri," coach Bill Self said. "Except to tell them that we're not going to mention Missouri until after the game Wednesday"
Talking before they were swarmed by reporters, junior forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor prepared for questions about Missouri.
"It's understandable; it's a big game," Taylor said. "Everybody's excited about it. But we've got to still take care of business Wednesday."
No. 4 Kansas (22-5, 12-2) visits College Station, Texas, for tonight's game against Texas A&M at 8.
Including non-conference games, the Aggies have the highest scoring defense in the league, allowing 60.2 points per game, .2 points better than Kansas.
In the first match-up between the teams this season, the Jayhawks won 64-54, but they shot just 37.9 percent from the
field in the first half and trailed 30-28 at halftime. Junior guard Elijah Johnson missed all six of his three-point shots and the Jayhawks dished a conference-season low of eight assists. The 82-73 victory against Iowa State on Jan. 14 was the only other game of the season where Kansas trailed at halftime at Allen
"We will not mention Missouri, except to tell them that we're not going to mention Missouri until after the game Wednesday."
BILL SELF Kansas coach
Fieldhouse.
"Here, we labored to make a basket, but they did too," Self said. "It's got a Big 10 middle-of-the-season type feel to it."
Aggies coach Billy Kennedy likes to use the shot clock to his team's advantage. His offense will work the ball around
perimeter to eat clock and disrupt rhythm. This strategy keeps the ball out of the hands of Kansas' playmaking scorers. Defensively, they will try to force Kansas into long possessions and difficult shot attempts.
"Not many teams are good for those 35 seconds," Robinson said of the shot clock. "Their transition defense was really good the first time we played them, and it continues to be good."
The Aggies proved on Jan. 23 they can hang with the Jayhawks. Even with that big Missouri game coming up on Saturday and student campers lining the floors of Allen Fieldhouse, Self won't let his team forget about Texas A&M.
"Out of fairness to them and all their hard work and effort they put in," Self said, "I think it would be such a disservice to allow them to look past what is just as meaningful a game as the game is on Saturday."

Kentucky hangs on against Mississippi St. to stay at No.1
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 18 points, Anthony Davis added 13 points and 11 rebounds and No. 1 Kentucky rallied to beat Mississippi State 73-64 Tuesday night.
The Wildcats (27-1, 13-0 South-
eastern Conference) trailed 41-28 at halftime — which was their biggest deficit of the season — but slowly climbed back to take their first lead at 63-62 with 4:11 remaining on a layup by Kidd-Gilchrist. They never trailed again, winning their 19th straight game.
Kidd-Gilchrist scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half and also added 10 rebounds for the double-double. Kentucky finished the game on a 20-4 run.
with three going to overtime.
Dee Bost led Mississippi State (19-9, 6-7) with 21 points while Arnett Moultrie added 13 points and 11 rebounds for his SEC-leading 16th double-double of the season. The Bulldogs have lost four straight games.
It was a tense game throughout with three technical fouls, including two for the Wildcats.
The tight game wasn't a surprise considering the recent competitive history. The programs have split the past six games in the series,
Mississippi State came into the game on a surprising three-game losing streak — falling to Georgia, Auburn and LSU — that has put its standing for the NCAA tournament at-large bid on shaky ground. And the Bulldogs played like a desperate team.
In front of a rowdy Humphrey Coliseum crowd, Mississippi State couldn't have asked for a much better start. Renardo Sidney nailed a 3-pointer and Bost found Moultrie for an alley-oop to take a quick 5-0 lead. The Bulldogs stretched that advantage to 25-13 on Bost's 3-pointer that danced around the rim before falling through the hoop.
While Mississippi State was cruising, Kentucky was uncharacteristically rattled.
The Wildcats couldn't get the ball inside to their talented big men, instead settling for contested shots on the perimeter. Marquis Teague was called for a technical which Mississippi State turned into a five-point swing, with Bost making both free throws and then a 3-pointer for a 34-21 lead.
Jalen Steele put the exclamation point on a dominant first half, knocking down a 3-pointer with 39 seconds remaining to give the
Bulldogs a 41-28 halftime lead.
The only bad news for Mississippi State was the loss of Rodney Hood, who suffered a bruised knee late in the first half and didn't return. The Bulldogs already had a thin playing rotation before his injury and were down to a sevenman rotation without him.
It appeared to be a factor as Kentucky slowly wore Mississippi State down.
The Wildcats responded with an 11-2 run to start the second half as the game turned tight, with Kentucky's Davis and Mississippi State's Moultrie both receiving technical fouls. The Wildcats pulled within 55-53 with 7:17 left on a layup by Terrance Jones, but Mississippi State responded with a dunk from Moultrie and a 3-pointer from Bost to push the lead back to 60-53.

Kentucky center Anthony Davis played Kansas, North Carolina and Louisville. That's a stacked schedule, but Davis held his composure and played well. Kansas forward Thomas Robinson knows how to play a tough schedule as well, only struggling against Kentucky in the second game of the season. Yes, losses to Iowa State and Davidson hurt, but the wins against Baylor and Ohio State give Robinson a clean slate.

Sullinger has yet to increase his production against top 15 teams. Sullinger is 1-3 against those teams.
Creighton forward Doug McDermott may be third in the nation, averaging 23.2 points, but losing three straight games and being second in the conference messes up his chance at holding the trophy.
NO SENIORITY
When the Naismith award honored a player, it usually honored a senior. From 1985 to 1994, seniors dominated this award. Since then, only six seniors, including 2011 winner Jimmer Fredette, have won the award.
That's excellent news for Robinson. The Washington, D.C., native is only a junior. Anthony Davis is somewhat in the clear, being a freshman. Kevin Durant in 2007 was the first and only freshman to win the award. Being a freshman could hurt Davis, but his stats move him to the next category.
Now, here is the bad news. Although Marcus Denmon is having a great year averaging 17.9 points, he is a senior. Players who stay all four years deserve a special award, but the voters love younger talent.
STAR POWER
Jimmer Fredette, Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant all displayed the ability to take over for their teams. This year, Robinson and Davis showed the same, but one's performance is a tad different.
Thomas Robinson is the only player in the Big 12 to average a double-double and leads the league in rebounding. His average of 11.8 rebounds is second in the nation. Plus, he averages 17.7 points.
Anthony Davis averages 13.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and shoots 65.5 percent. Davis also averages 4.9 blocks, the best in the
KU
nation while leading his Wildcats to first place in the SEC.
But here's the real question: What happens when those players aren't on those teams?
If Robinson wasn't a Jayhawk, the team still would be good, but the down-low presence would be completely wiped out. If Davis wasn't with the Wildcats, the team would be altered, but the Wildcats would still have a loaded roster with Doron Lamb, Michael Kidd-Cilchrist, Terrence Jones and Marquis Teague.
These three categories are crucial and the players should fall into them. All of these players are deserving, but only Thomas Robinson is truly fit for this honor and will give Kansas its second player in history to hoist the trophy.

COMMENTARY
Missouri hype has to wait
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Hundreds of students camped in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday for Saturday's much-hyped Missouri game, and Thomas Robinson claimed to have overlooked them all.
Robinson stood in the lower concourse of Allen Fieldhouse, fenced in by voice recorders and television cameras, talking to the press before practice.
When Robinson was asked if seeing the students lined up for Saturday would be a distraction for the Jayhawks come Wednesday when they play at Texas A&M, Robinson gave a simple answer with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh, no." Robinson said with a smirk. "I didn't even notice them."
Bill Self said the word "Missouri" will not be mentioned until the Jayhawks take care of Wednesday's game against Texas A&M, and, so far, the team seems to be taking this week in stride. Robinson wouldn't acknowledge the hype that surrounded him.
Though Self's teams have fared well in spite of the hype before big games, the anticipation for Saturday's game is unlike anything Self has handled before.
"The primary reason why we've won games is because we have good players," Self said. "And when good players are somewhat focused, that's a hard combination to beat."
While the talent is normally there for Self and Kansas, this year is different. Outside of the starting five, the Jayhawks have struggled to find consistent production, which has become a problem on the road for Kansas.
When the energy level dropped at Iowa State, it cost the Jayhawks, and if the energy level drops in College Station, Texas, it will cost them even more, just like it cost Missouri in its 78-68 loss to Kansas State Tuesday night.
Texas A&M fans are loyal, loud and rowdy. In the past, they have come out in herds to cheer their Aggies on against the Jayhawks, and this game will be no different.
During the last match up, coach Bill Kennedy's Texas A&M team scrapped at the Jayhawks for 40 minutes in Lawrence, as the Aggies took a two-point lead into half-time at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas recovered and won by nine, but the Jayhawks will not be so fortunate if they repeat their lackluster performance.
Memories of that game should keep the Jayhawks on their toes this week. If they return from College Station without a win, the big game against Missouri on Saturday will lose some of its excitement.
When it was senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's turn to speak to the cameras and recorders, he spoke candidly about the dangers of focusing on Saturday's game instead of Wednesday's game against Texas A&M.
"I'm thinking about it, too," Taylor said. "But I can't look past A&M at all, because they're a good team that could definitely beat us."

REDEMPTION IN TEXAS
Junior guard Angel Goodrich's record night propels Jayhawks to victory past Aggies
kgier@kansan.com
The Jayhawks needed a victory. They needed to prove they could win without Carolyn Davis and that other players would step up in her absence. They needed to build confidence and their record.
Despite foul trouble and 10 lead changes, Kansas notched a 69-64 victory in Lubbock, Texas, to take the season sweep against Texas Tech and improve their record to 18-9 (7-8).
"You can tell the difference in the locker room," sophomore guard CeCe Harper said. "Everyone is excited and energetic. It is a great feeling."
Kansas succeeded in all those goals behind a record night from junior guard Angel Goodrich, who dished eight assists to break the single-season program assist record with 208.
Goodrich led Kansas in all categories with 20 points, eight assists and six rebounds. Late
last week, she was announced as a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which recognizes the top female point guard in the country.
Goodrich didn't even realize what the award was, but with a reminder, she fell silent.
"One of the things we wanted to focus on was playing together and staying together no matter what."
ANGEL GOODRICH
Juinor guard
"Wow," Goodrich said. "It's an honor."
Goodrich will deny the importance of numbers, but she is scoring more than 40 percent of the team's points this season and has led the team through
the last 10 days of injury and losses valiantly. Coach Bonnie Henrickson talked about how she is everywhere for the team, and Harper agreed.
"Angel is having a great season: from getting everybody open shots to knocking down open shots when she can and keeping us in offenses," Harper said. "She plays for everyone else and she is very good to play with."
When freshman forward Chelsea Gardner picked up her second foul less than two minutes into the game, Kansas turned to sophomore forward Tania Jackson, who played 17 minutes and hit a huge three pointer with 2 minutes, 46 seconds left in the game to extend the lead to six points.
Freshman guard Natalie Knight and senior forward Aishah Sutherland also struggled with fouls in the game, which led to opportunities for

Swimmers prepare for Big 12 battle
ALEC TILSON

Six months of ups and downs and hours spent training in the pool culminate this week for the Kansas swimming and diving team when it competes in the Big 12 Championships in Columbia, Mo.
Kansas' disappointing early February loss to Iowa State in its last competition has hingered for three weeks, but the team is now focused on its biggest meet of the season.
"We moved forward," said senior Stephanie Payne. "You work towards this meet the entire
The meet is a three-and-a-half day team championship battle in Mizzou Aquatics Center against Iowa State, Missouri and national powerhouses Texas and Texas A&M.
season. Everything we do from the day we start the season until today is preparing us for now."
Still, much of the attention will be on individual competition, as each swimmer aims to secure an invitation to the NCAA Championships next month.
"We'll focus on our individual performances first and let the team stuff take care of itself," said coach Clark Campbell. "It's something you simply can not control."
Throughout the past two weeks, the team started tapering — lowering volume and intensity of training — in preparation for the meet. Tapering is designed to consolidate months of training into just a couple of races.
"When you taper and peak towards the end, you just feel like a new athlete," Campbell said. "All that training you do bubbles up and you're able to perform at a high level."
"You feel like a completely different swimmer," said junior Brittany Rospierski. "Your body position is different, much higher in the water which is what you want."
To catalyze that power and speed, swimmers will wear knee suits for just the second time this season. The slit, skin-tight suits compress the swimmer's body and provide a more hydrodynamic
For those who do not qualify for the NCAA Championships, this will be the final meet of the season and the last opportunity to achieve personal career-best times. Campbell said that as a team, the goal is to achieve 70 percent individual lifetime bests.
movement in the water. The suits only come out a couple of times a year and the swimmers said they love the change in wardrobe.
Perennial powers Texas and
Kansas looks to outperform Missouri and Iowa State. Missouri outscoed Kansas at the Mizzou Invite in December, the last time the fast suits were worn. Still, it's the Iowa State loss that looms in the team's mind.
Texas A&M will likely battle for the top two spots in the team competition. The two schools have finished in the top two for the past 12 years.
"Mostly we just want individual bests," Payne said. "And to beat Iowa State."

INSPIRATION
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
"Do Life." That was the message inspirational speaker Ben Davis had for KU students in Woodruff Auditorium Tuesday evening. Davis told the story of his battle with obesity and depression during his college years through developing a passion for running. Davis lost 120 pounds of his original 365 and now participates in Ironman competitions.
"This isn't about me," Davis said, "This is about life. Not just enjoying, but spreading it."
Having been overweight for most of his life, Davis decided in late 2008 to get in shape with the help of his brother. Not long after the creation of his blog, Davis father joined his training.
Starting with a 5K, Davis and his family eventually pursued an Ironman triathlon. A marathon consists of running 26.2 miles. An Ironman triathlon is composed of swimming for 2.4 miles, biking for 112 miles, and running a marathon distance. The entire competition usually takes 17 hours to complete.
In the process, Davis met others dealing with hardships including drug addictions, eating disorders and social phobias.
"We've met so many people changing their lives through running," Davis said.
Davis found his father's and brother's support instrumental in his life change. Davis also found setting short-term goals rather than lofty abstract ones to be effective in making progress.
Jordan Dauer, a junior from Lee Summit, Mo., attended the speech and, like Davis, finds fulfillment in running. Dauer runs three miles almost everyday.
"Running always makes me happy," Dauer said.
Dauer also convinced her roommate, Courtney Schmidt, a junior from Shawnee, to join her. Having known her since freshman year, Schmidt finally joined Dauer on her runs beginning this past fall after reading the book, "Born to Run."
Schmidt was inspired by Davis story and related to how finding a passion and sticking to it helps a person be happier. Although Schmidt previously disliked running, she finds that running with her roommate gives the helpful support Davis gained from his father and brother.
If you have a passion, it makes life more fun to live," Schmidt said.
Davis' presentation was part of Celebrate EveryBody Week, sponsored by KU Student Health Services. The week continued with Campus Largest Workout from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Ambler Student Recreation Center on Wednesday. The week ends this Thursday with special discounts at different eating venues on campus.

Students learn self-defense techniques

An Israeli military fighting technique, Krav Maga, is giving students an easy and realistic way to learn self-defense. Classes to learn the technique are for both men and women and free to students at the Ambler Student Fitness Recreation Center.
Civilians are using the military technique more because it is designed to evoke a natural response to defend yourself in stressful situations and will help users recognize when a situation is potentially dangerous.
Students taking the course will learn basic footwork, hits, kicks and holds. The course is not comprehensive so regular attendance is not necessary to learn the technique.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
"Last week we learned how to deflect a knife attack," Britten Kuckelman said, a senior from Wichita who is attending the classes. "It's really cool because they train you to work with your instinct, which makes you feel like there isn't a lot to remember."
The classes are offered in two different forms at the rec center: on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. until April 26 for students only, in which no registration is required. It is also offered in a Saturday workshop April 14 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to students, faculty and staff for free, and to community members for $10, in which participants need to register at etwrc@ku.edu.
Student Senate, the Campus Safety Advisory Board, KU Recreational Services and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center
(ETWRC), sponsor the courses.
"It's the second year the courses have been taught in this format," Kathy Rose-Mockry the ETWRC Director said. "We taught them last year using a different name, and we will continue to offer the courses in this format for next fall and spring."
Susan Booth, an instructor for the course and owner of Premier Martial Arts School in Lawrence, said learning Krav Maga will not only help students defend themselves from an attack, but prevent one from occurring altogether.
"By learning how to defend yourself you are also building

confidence," Booth said. "You can portray that confidence in your everyday life and not become a victim at all."

Chickens raise concerns
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
The story of chickens is turning out to be a drama.
Amber Hansen, the current artist in residence at the University, received a grant to produce "The Story of Chickens: A Revolution." The project consists of five chickens being kept in a coop placed in high foot traffic areas downtown.
CRYPTOQUIPS 4A OPINION 5A
After a month, the chickens will be butchered and then served as part of a potuck dinner the next day. The public is invited to watch.
When asked to discuss her project, Hansen said to refer to her blog and would not comment any further.
Farm Sanctuary, a company that rescues and advocates for farm animals, sent Hansen a letter suggesting changes that could be made to her project to make it more humane.
Community members voiced concerns about the treatment of the chickens. Hansen's blog and the Spencer Museum of Art's Facebook page received hundreds of comments denouncing the project, although some have been supportive.
CLASSIFIEDS 2B
CROSSWORD 4A
Bruce Friedrich, the director for strategic initiatives at Farm Sanctuary, said local animal rights activists told them about the project and requested they contact Hansen.
"It was a bit shocking to read that she was going to parade them around Lawrence, and slice their throats open and then feed their corpses to the public," Friedrich said.
While he supports Hansen's desire to challenge people to think about how meat is made, Frederich said killing the animal undermines the importance.
SPORTS 1B
SUDOKU 4A
"The conclusion should be that for the same reason we don't eat cats or dogs, we shouldn't eat chickens, pigs or any animals," he said. "There's no moral or ethical difference between eating a chicken and a cat or a dog."
Cassandra Smyers, a senior student from Olathe, and co-president of the student organization Compassion for All Animals, said the organization wrote Hansen letters about their concerns, but never heard back. While she hopes the Hansen doesn't finish the project, she might still want to go visit the coop.
Hansen wrote on her blog that she wants people to realize the chickens are beautiful and unique animals and bring attention to the importance of co-existing with food. Passing by the chickens everyday will force people to confront the part of the food manufacturing process that they normally don't have to think about.

"I think our members would want to go and educate people about alternatives," Smyers said. "This is already an alternative to factory farming, the current status, and her alternative would be local farming. Our alternative would be vegetarianism."
Other students are less worried about "The Story of Chickens" and what message it is trying to convey.
Payden van Matre, a junior from Overland Park, said he was unsure of the message the artist was trying to convey but thought the project raised an interesting point about people's views of livestock by forcing them to think more about their food.
"I'm not sure about the gratuous violence, but I'm well aware that things die," Matre said. "But the project sounds like more of an idea than anything."

Prenatal testing a campaign issue
WASHINGTON — First birth control, now prenatal testing? Once again a fact of life for many American women has become a jarring issue in the presidential race.
Republican candidate Rick Santorum is making free screenings for birth defects part of his attack on President Barack Obama's health care law. Santorum, who has a young daughter with a serious genetic disorder, said rules requiring insurers to cover prenatal tests are designed to encourage more women to have abortions that will "cull the ranks of the disabled in our society."
Federal health officials and the nation's obstetricians recommend that all pregnant women be offered blood tests and an ultrasound exam that assess the risk of having a baby with various birth defects or genetic disorders, including Down syndrome. If the screening raises concern, a woman may choose further testing, such as amniocentesis.
Obama re-election campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith called Santorum's remarks "misinformed and dangerous." She said the tests are for the health of mothers and babies and help bring about safer deliveries.
Some women say they don't want the tests because they know
they wouldn't abort their fetus no matter what the results. Others who wouldn't consider an abortion still want the tests — seeking reassurance that all is well or, if not, the chance to adjust emotionally and prepare for a disabled baby's more complicated care. Babies with Down syndrome can need specialized attention at delivery that affects hospital selection.
Some women avoid amniocentesis, which involves withdrawing amniotic fluid through a needle, because of the small chance it could cause a miscarriage. There are less invasive tests available, however, and newer ones on the way.
As Santorum noted, studies show that in the vast majority of cases where amniocentesis reveals Down syndrome, women decide on abortion.
Advocates for the disabled, including many parents of Down syndrome children, worry that couples are choosing abortion without considering that their child could lead a happy, fulfilling life. About one in 800 babies is born with Down syndrome, a condition in which having an extra chromosome causes mental retardation, a characteristic broad, flat face and, often, serious heart defects.
The prenatal testing issues have been debated by abortion foes and obstetricians and wrestled with by prospective parents.

Commuter train accident kills 49 and injures more than 500 in Argentina

F.E.
BUENOS AIRES. Argentina —
Firemen rescue wounded passengers from a commuter train after a collision in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A packed train slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires' busy Once station Wednesday, killing dozens and injuring hundreds of morning commuters as passenger cars crumpled behind the engine.
BUENUS AIRES, Argentina A packed train slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires' busy Once station Wednesday, killing 49 people and injuring hundreds of morning commuters as passenger cars crumpled behind the engine. It was Argentina's worst train accident in decades.
Federal Police Commissioner Nestor Rodriguez says the dead include 48 adults and one child.
At least 550 people were injured, and emergency workers were slowly extracting dozens of people who were trapped inside the first car, said Alberto Crescenti, the city's emergency medical director.
The commuter train came in too fast and hit a shock-absorbing barrier at the end of the platform at about 16 mph, smashing the front of the engine and crunching the leading cars behind it; one car penetrated nearly 20 feet into the next, Argentina's transportation secretary, J.P. Schiavi told reporters at the station.
The conductors' union chief, Omar Maturano, told Radio 10 that the train
might have come in as fast as 18 mph.
Images from a security camera show windows exploding as the first two passenger cars crumple into each other like an accordion, with a man on the
adjacent platform scrambling across the tracks to escape the wreck.
Many suffered bruises or lesser injuries, waiting for attention on the station's platforms as helicopters and
dozens of ambulances carried others to nearby hospitals. About 200 people had serious injuries, said city health minister Jorge Lemus.

Chavez to have lesion removed
CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has raised serious doubts about whether he'll have the stamina for a successful re-election bid, revealing that he needs to return to Cuba to have a lesion removed that is probably malignant.
Chavez was meeting with top aides on Wednesday to plan for his absence while expressions of support poured in from his allies around the region. Venezuela's foreign ministry said Chavez had received messages of concern from Presidents Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Francisco Mujica of Uruguay, Evo Morales of Bolivia and Cristina Fernandez of Argentina.
Chavez told Venezuelans on Tuesday that doctors in Cuba had over the weekend found a two-centimeter lesion is in the same place where they removed a cancerous tumor last year.
PRESIDENT
The socialist president, who hopes to extend his 13 years in power with another six-year term in the Oct. 7 elections, said he will likely need radiation therapy.
Chavez
That will most likely mean being incapacitated in the coming weeks, though Chavez did not mention who might replace him during a temporary absence.
"I'm not going to be able to continue with the same rhythm," he told state TV in a telephone call Tuesday night, adding he would need to "rethink my personal agenda and take care of myself. confront what must be confronted."

Afghan president asks for calm after violent protests
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan President Hamid Karzai appealed for calm Wednesday after clashes in several cities between Afghan security forces and protesters furious over the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. military base left seven people dead.
The Afghan Interior Ministry said in a statement that seven people were killed — four in clashes in the eastern province of Parwan, one at a U.S. base outside Kabul, and one each in Jalabat and Logar provinces. It said an investigation was under way to determine what happened.
"The people have the right to protest peacefully, but I appeal to my countrymen not to resort to violence." Karzai said in a statement. He also called on the Afghan security forces to protect the protesters, not battle them.
The U.S. apologized Tuesday for burning the copies of the Quran, which had been pulled from the shelves of the Parwan Detention Facility, adjoining Bagram Air Field, because they contained extremist messages or inscriptions.
U. S. Gen. John Allen, the top commander of American and NATO forces in
Afghanistan, said after the books had been mistakenly given to troops to be burned at a garbage pit without realizing it.
"It was not a decision that was made because they were religious materials," Allen said Tuesday, one day after Afghan workers at the garbage pit found the books. "It was not a decision that was made with respect to the faith of Islam. It was a mistake. It was an error. The moment we found out about it we immediately stopped and we intervened."
EUROPE
Hungary fails to reduce deficit,EU withholds funding
BRUSSELS The European Union's executive arm said Wednesday it plans to withhold 495 million euro ($655 million) in EU development funds from Hungary after the country failed to reduce its deficit.
The proposal to withhold the funds is the latest stage in a protracted dispute over the country's finances and suspected violation of civil rights. Before it can be applied, it has to be endorsed by the EU's other 26 member states.
It is the first time the European
Commission has proposed to suspend development funds from one of its members over an excessive deficit. The so-called cohesion funds, which are targeted in the sanction, support transport and environmental projects in the EU's poorer regions.
The Commission has been pressuring Hungary to cut its budget deficit, which has been breaking the bloc's limit of 3 percent of economic output ever since the country joined the bloc in 2004 when one-off measures are stripped out.
Despite several warnings, the government in Budapest has so far failed to take any more structural actions to reduce its spending.
"This decision today is to be regarded as an incentive to correct a deviation, not as a punishment," said Olii Rehn, the EU's economic affairs commissioner.
LEGAL
Since the funds that the Commission is threatening to withhold are for 2013, Hungary has until January next year to take action and avoid sanctions.
Missouri reclaims spot as nation's top meth producer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS $ \rightarrow $ Methamphetamine lab seizures rose nationally again in 2011, further evidence the powerfully addictive and dangerous drug is maintaining a tight grip on the nation's heartland, according to an Associated Press survey of the nation's top meth-producing states.
Missouri regained the top national spot for lab seizures in 2011 with 2,096, the AP confirmed through the survey that also found Tennessee was second with 1,687, followed by Indiana with 1,437, Kentucky with 1,188 and Oklahoma with 902. Lab seizures in Kansas rose from 149 busts in 2010 to 172 in 2011.
The total for Missouri lines up with preliminary numbers AP obtained this week from the Drug Enforcement Administration, whose data appeared to show meth lab seizures remained about even during the past two years. But the totals for each of the other states surveyed by AP reveal the numbers are higher than the federal data.
Combined, the numbers indicate nationwide meth lab seizures rose at least 8.3 percent in 2011 compared with 2010.
Experts blame the continued increase on the drug's addictiveness and the growing popularity of the meth-making shortcut known as "shake-and-bake", in which the drug is concocted quickly in a soda bottle. The method results in smaller labs, but more of them.
Clandestine meth labs are most common in the Midwest and South. U.S. users who don't make the drug themselves get it from Mexico, but experts say the drug made in homemade labs is more addictive than the often-diluted product that crosses the border.
"When they're manufacturing it locally they're making the purest form and the strongest form they can make," said Sgt. Niki Crawford of the Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Team.
behind Tennessee for one year. In 2011, a single Missouri county had more busts than Texas, Florida and California combined. Jefferson County, which is near St. Louis, tallied 253 seizures; the three states had 219.
Missouri had been the nation's No. 1 meth-producing state every year from 2003 to 2009 until falling
Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Tim Hull attributed the state's consistently high seizure rate to law enforcement agencies' focus on addressing the meth problem.
Police in many Missouri counties stake out pharmacies and watch for "pill shoppers" who go from store to store to purchase decongestants containing pseudoephedrine, a vital meth ingredient, now that tighter state restrictions have limited how much of the product they can buy in one place at one time. Many Missouri agencies also have officers focused solely on meth.
"Is Missouri that much worse or does Missouri just take a more aggressive approach? I think Missouri law enforcement just aggressively deals with the issue," Hull said.

Apps help students learn rather than avoid work
Math, from YourTeacher.com, is free for the first five lessons on an iPhone. To keep going, though, it requires a one-time $9.99 payment. The company makes instructional apps for Apple and Android.
From the opening screen in Math, type a keyword, such as "equations," to see a list of lessons that include word problems and real-world uses for the knowledge, such as figuring sales taxes, discounts, and interest. Each lesson has examples, problems, and printable practice and review sheets.
Wolfram Algebra Course, by Wolfram Alpha LLC, is $1.99. Titles for calculus, music theory, and other subjects are also available at various prices for Android and
Apple. The algebra course provides opportunities to view examples or to plug in an equation to examine its parts, calculate a solution, plot the results, and ... do more math stuff than I was ready for.
The Wolfram courses are an extension of the brilliant "computational knowledge engine" at Wolframalpha.com, which handles a lot of the inquiries that iPhone4s users put to the "personal assistant" app. Siri.

Encyclopaedia Britannica is $1.99 a month for iPhone. I grew up in a house with a sagging bookshelf of encyclopedia volumes, including the massive Britannica. It's still authoritative, but now it fits in your pocket, has more features and costs way less.

The blogsphere has been on fire since last late week when the two dropped cryptic tweets alluding to a duet. After producers of Rihanna's lusty track "Birthday Cake" tweeted the remix would shock the world, rumors immediately circulated that Rihanna would celebrate her birthday by releasing an extended take of the track featuring Brown's vocals.
GELEBRITY
It was an unlikely collaboration to say the least, considering Brown is currently serving five years' probation for brutally assaulting her three years ago on the eve of the Grammy Awards. But they are back together again, at least on the two songs.
Hip-hop blogger/tastemaker Karen Civil, who unveiled details of the collaboration on her popular, self-titled blog last week, said that given Rihanna's knack for being provocative, the track shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
"I think that it can only help them both at this time," Civil said. "We can't back and
change what's already been done, or recorded and released in this case. Will it hurt Rihanna's career? Perhaps, in the aspect of standing up against domestic violence. However a listener or fan cannot dictate someone's life, and she is entitled to her own decisions."
The controversial songs, which weren't officially released by either artist's label, come on the heels of Brown's performance and win at the 54th Grammy Awards last week.
He became a trending topic on Twitter that evening, as did the phrase "wife beater." There was furor that the Recording Academy they invited the singer to perform twice and rewarded him with the trophy for R&B album. His awkward shuffling onstage demonstrated he hadn't expected the win, and the relative hush of the audience seemed to say, "You should not be here."
"Chris Brown twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl ... Not cool that we act like that didn't happen," tweeted country music star Miranda Lambert.
The producers were also criticized for giving the singer two performance slots as the academy struggled with how to pay tribute to pop titan Whitney Houston, who passed away on the eve of the telecast.

Beatles ringtones now available for first time
LOS ANGELES - Hello hello?
Beatles fans can now set their cellphones to alert them to incoming calls with "Hello Goodbye," take a call from IT support with "Help!" or signal a call from an angry partner with "We Can Work It Out" as the Fab Four's music has become available for the first time as cellphone ringtones.
The group has licensed ring tones from its 27 U.S. and British No.1 hits, from "Love Me Do" in 1962 through "Hello Goodbye" in 1967 to "The Long and Winding Road" in 1970, replicating the track lineup of the "I" compilation CD, which just surpassed 12 million copies sold in the U.S. since its release in 2000.
The 30-second ringtones, also downloadable to iPads and iTouches, are available exclusively through iTunes for $1.29 each — the same amount charged for downloading the entire song.
It's the latest incursion of the group's music into the digital realm after long being withheld from legal downloading. That ended just over one year ago, when the group's catalog was posted on iTunes in November 2010.
Because only the No. 1 hits are available now, it looks like we'll have to wait for the next round of ringtones for hopes of getting that wake-up call to "Good Morning, Good Morning" or "Good Day Sunshine," a cellular sign-off in the evening with "Good Night" or a warning to unknown call numbers coming in at dinnertime. "Don't Bother Me."

Martina McBride set to release new album
Country music veteran Martina McBride, 11 albums deep into her career, says she's starting over. She's representing this through her latest album, "Eleven."
"I'm definitely surrounding myself with new energy and new ideas, and thinking outside the box musically and professionally," says McBride.
SUN RESORTS
TANNING BALON
One element of her starting over was recording "Eleven" on a different label, Republic Nashville, after her long, successful run with RCA Records.
"I was there for 18 years, and this was the first opportunity I had to pursue another record label," McBride says. "I owed it to myself to look around and see what's out there."
McBride also says she got out of her comfort zone by delving deep into songwriting for the first time. It's something she always wanted to do.
"I quit putting it off _ quit procrastinating. I got all the kids in school and devoted time to see what happened if I dedicated myself to this," says McBride, who as a result was able to come up with something more personal.
"It was liberating to be able to write what I'm feeling. The challenge is just getting over being intimidated. I'm the person who I do something. I want to do it well."
Her new freedom and confidence also led to a new album on which she was able to play around with different sounds. Though she clearly released a country music album, she also experimented a bit with R&B and island-flavored songs on "Eleven." She also recorded outside Nashville for the first time.
With that, McBride says, she was able to "make music without the distraction of daily life."

Wireless service on campus disappoints
I'm preparing for Saturday's game by listening to "300 Violin Orchestra" non-stop for the rest of the week!
I think "The Newsies" is a much more suitable stereotype for frat packs
I think I should get royalties for being filmed walking around campus.
Internet and wireless services at the University of Kansas have been hot topics since the University signed a contract with Apogee to provide internet service in student housing. Students now deal directly with Apogee for internet service at their homes, rather than with the University.
EDITORIAL
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to not put a tomato in your fruit salad.
I always have this urge to perch myself in the little trees in front of Snow Hall and throw glitter at people who walk by.
Why is it that I do something nice for someone and people think that I'm trying to sleep with them?
Originally, the contract called for complete wireless installation by May 2011, but the University pushed back the time line for that work. Today, all of the scholarship halls, all of the residence halls, except Corbin and Jayhawk Towers A and D, have wireless internet. The University plans to begin installing wireless access points for the remaining Jayhawk Towers during February and Corbin Hall during the summer.
What if it's really the washer that's been losing our socks and we've been blaming the dryer all these years?
Meanwhile, some students will be paying more for internet next semester. Kansas differs from other schools, such as the University of Missouri and Kansas State, in separating internet from tuition and campus fees.
The tierd service offered by Apogee charges $98 for its basic package of 8 Mbps, $138 for its intermediate package of 15 Mbps and $158 for its highest package of 20 Mbps. The speeds were updated last October when students complained about the coverage.
Apogeen's proposed packages for next year will charge students $128 for a basic package of 10 Mbps, $148 for 20 Mbps and $168 for 30 Mbps.
To put internet service in perspective, it might help to look at
how Kansas State does it.
Our in-state rivals have a more complete wireless program that extends throughout the residence halls. Every hall has wireless that extends into students' dorm rooms. K-State doesn't set a speed for users. A representative said that students can expect four Mbps or faster at any given time of day.
If they have a problem with their service, there is one number to call.
their internet are directed to the universities' Internet Technology departments at K-State.
Students at K-State pay for internet as part of their student fees at the beginning of the semester. Because that fee isn't separated from their tuition, it is difficult to tell how much each student pays for their internet service. All of the questions students have about
Students should call Apogee if they have a problem connecting to the internet in their residence area. But if they have problems connecting in any other building on campus, they should call KU IT Customer Service , according to David Day, a Communications representative of KU IT Services.
This differs from Internet support at the University in that students here have two places to resi
Under this system, the University isn't responsible for a large portion of the technical support students may need. Instead, students find themselves dealing with a private firm that is insulated from the consequences of
irritating customers. They have an eight-year contract with the University.
After looking at K-State's Internet and comparing it to ours we might conclude that our friends in Manhattan are getting a better deal
In the future, maybe the University should be more wary of contracting out services to out-of-state companies by offering them exclusive deals that last for years. It's great for Apogee, and easier for the University. But it seems students may be left hanging between them.

BEHAVIOR
Celebrities should not be rolemodels
Intellectually stimulating yourself can lead to a more productive life
Imagine there is a boy who never has any negative consequences. He punches your brother and your mom says, "Great job honey!" with a big smile. Or maybe he steals a snack pack from little Johnny at school every day and enjoys that great chocolate pudding without a care in the world. He can do what he wants when he wants. That sounds like a good life to me. Well what if the boy grew up like that and the trend continued into his adult life? Ladies and gentlemen, meet Charlie Sheen!
Celebrities are the center of our culture and likely will be for a long time. In the case of little Charlie Sheen, he is positively reinforced for anything he does. This essentially means he is more likely to repeat whatever behavior occurred prior to being reinforced. At the same time he is never punished, which constitutes not receiving consequences that effectively control his behavior.
Let's say you work for a generic financial sales company. Each week you are positively reinforced with $100 bonus if you meet an average quota of sales that week. But then say your boss triples that weekly bonus and increases the sales level by five percent. How would you react?
By Michael Sofis
msofis@kansan.com
You'd probably be pretty excited about making an extra $200 a week just for a little more work. Then two months later you earn $1,000 a week to sell an additional five percent. Will that motivate you to continue to sell better? It likely will, and this typifies how the environment can drastically change your behavior.
Now let's go back to celebrities where their environment is much less orderly. Take Ashton Kutcher as an example of being reinforced for inappropriate behavior. In 2011 he cheats on his wife and subsequently is praised in US-weekly by his secret girlfriend as romantic. Additionally, ratings of his show "Two and a Half Men" continue to rise and reinforce his behavior. He continues to make millions and his celebrity status only seems to rise.
There are two big pieces we can take from knowledge of celebrity behavior. The first is that idolizing and trying to emulate celebrities might not always be a good idea. As the drug abuse, early deaths, and conflict of many celebrity lives indicate, it's not all fun and games. Secondly and more importantly
The problem here is celebrities are difficult to punish in the behavioral sense. Normal punishments for illegal or other inappropriate behavior don't seem to apply for celebrities.
though is learning from celebrity mistakes to achieve our own sense of happiness.
What do celebrities lack when they go off the deep end? Usually they lack direction, control, and appropriate levels of intellectual stimulation.
As human beings, we need to find our flow to counteract these potential issues. The Psychological Concept of Flow is when all of skills and talents are thrown at a challenge that is barely manageable. You become consumed in it. You can be in Flow in both physical and intellectual activities.
But as Psychology Professor Mihaly Ciskszentmihalyi tells us in Psychology Today, Americans tend to report being in such a state markedly less than in European Nations like Germany. His research measures consciousness and attitudes by having participants report their scores at random parts of two hour intervals each day. These scores are interestingly the lowest during pure leisure time like watching T.V.
The concept of flow isn't an equation for happiness but you don't need to be able to pronounce Csikszentmihalyi to understand that involvement is key as a college student.
The next time you're tempted to take Underwater Basket Weaving II understand that you're making shortsighted decision and not be interested in the class might even lower you're grade as well as interest. Additionally, being able to continuously challenge yourself is a skill that is vital in all fields of work.
And speaking of fields of work, understanding what stimulates and challenges you is important in picking a job that is right for you. Lastly, we tend to loaf socially as opposed to spending free time in engaging extracurricular activities or hobbies.
CULTURE
More engaging activities won't just make your free time more enjoyable but will likely allow you to engage in your work more effectively as well. I hope you'll forgive my choice of words but just go with the flow.

Disney princesses gave us distorted relationship views
Recently, Disney unveiled its newest princess, Sofia the First, who is the first princess in the Disney dynasty to actually be a child herself.
This got me thinking: Why would Disney create characters that children are supposed to idolize and relate to who are nowhere near their age range?
Why didn't I have a princess when I was growing up who was dealing with the same troubles that I was going through, like taking spelling tests and being forced to eat green beans?
Instead, we 90s girls were forced to learn from 20-something beauty queens with problems that we couldn't imagine relating to, like the difficulties of finding a lifetime lover.
And naturally, we idolized these characters and took note of their behaviors.
Come to think of it, Disney was my first source of knowledge for relationships (besides my parents', which I paid virtually no attention to). And because I had no idea what the hell a real relationship really was, I watched the movies with a blind eye, idolizing behaviors of the princesses, hoping I would have the same ridiculous occurrences happen to me when I was in my early 20s.
By Mandy Matney
mmatney@kansan.com
Now being in my early 20s and still knowing the stories of my favorite Disney princesses by heart, I realized that not only were most of them completely spineless, brainless, and helpless when it came to them "finding love," but their behaviors are so common in young women my age who happened to grow up watching them.
Momentarily, think back to your favorite princess story, and it's really hard not to blame Disney for some of the relationship disasters of our generation.
"Beauty and the Beast?" This plot gives every girl who is holding on to an abusive, psychotic, egotistical jerk of a boyfriend because she has briefly seen a glimpse of kindness in that black heart of his and spends all her energy into turning him into a teddy bear, but is always just disappointed.
"The Little Mermaid" encourages girls to drop everything and
change everything all in pursuit of love. Friends, family, fins, you don't need them as long as you have a prince, according to Ariel.
And "Sleeping Beauty" just tells us to get wasted, pass out, and be overwhelmingly happy when you wake up to stranger making out with you.
I could go further, but I think you catch my drift.
While I do realize that these stories were all in the name of fiction, the fact that they served as a lot of young girls' first perception of relationships makes it hard to deny that these underlying messages had a bigger impact on us than we perceived them to. Young girls like myself really grew up idolizing these characters, watching their stories over and over again and intuitively taking note of their behaviors.
And I will admit, that Disney has shown a lot of progress in past twenty years with their princesses (Pocahantas and Mulan were definitely a step up), and this new preschool aged princess is huge progress from what it sounds, just as long as she's not in constant pursuit of finding her pre-school prince.

Prescription drug shortage affects students
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
Adderall, which is prescribed to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), has been difficult for students at the University of Kansas to get. There has been a shortage in Kansas, and across the United States.
The shortage has caused frustration among students. Whitney Beck, a senior from Lenexa, said the lack of Adderall has made it difficult for her to focus in school. Whitney was prescribed Adderall
her freshman year of college.
"It makes studying a lot more difficult. It definitely takes me longer to study or do homework when I am out of Adderall," Beck said.
Pharmacies such at CVS, Walgreens and Target have been in short supply since the beginning of the fall semester. Beck said that she starts calling pharmacies a week before her prescription runs out in order to make sure she can get it refilled. Recently, Beck has gone to local pharmacies around Lawrence to get her refill.
Cathy Thrasher, Pharmacist
in-Charge at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the shortage stemmed from a few problems. Adderall is classified as a C2 drug, which is the most restricted level of prescription. Drug manufacturers cannot produce C2 medications whenever they want. They need DEA approval first, and the DEA has strict quota restrictions.
Thrasher said that more students have been coming into Watkins this year to fill their Adderall prescriptions, and that they try to help students as much as possible.
"We do the best we can to try
not to turn away students. If a student comes in with a prescription for 10 milligrams of Adderrall and all we have is 20, then we contact the doctor to see if we can prescribe them half tablets of 20 milligrums" Thrasher said.
President Obama issued an executive order in October
2011 directing the FDA and the Department of justice to take action to help prevent further shortages. The Obama Administration said they would increase staffing resources for the FDA's Drug Shortage Program. There will also be early notification of potential shortages by manufacturers. Furthermore, the Obama Administration released a report from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation which assesses the underlying factors that lead to drug shortages. Finally they will
include an FDA report on its role in monitoring, preventing and responding to these shortages.
Thrasher says the problem hasn't been resolved yet, but steps are being taken in the right direction.
"There has been loosening up. It's not as tight as last semester. The manufacturers are starting to catch up to the demand," she said.

New bill that requires proof of citizenship advances in legislature
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach's bill to require some potential voters to prove U.S. citizenship ahead of this year's presidential election received first-round approval Wednesday in the state House, though disagreements surfaced among fellow Republicans.
The measure would impose the proof-of-citizenship requirement on June 15, more than six months ahead of schedule and in time for the normal surge of first-time registrations before a presidential contest. Legislators enacted a proof-of-citizenship requirement last year that wouldn't take effect until Jan. 1, 2013.
The House advanced the bill on a voice vote, setting up a final vote Thursday to determine whether the bill goes to the Senate.
Kobach, a Republican and former law professor who helped draft tough laws in Alabama and Arizona designed
to crack down on illegal immigration, contends the requirement will keep non-citizens from registering and is part of a larger effort to combat election fraud. Critics
residents hunt down birth certificates or other documents.
"You've heard the other facts, and I'm not going into them, but the practicalities for each nursing home should weigh in on what we do," Brookens said.
One issue has been a $40 million upgrade of the computer system for issuing driver's licenses to comply with a federal law that requires Kansas to verify citizenship before renewing them. The goal is to allow the state Division of Vehicles to transfer electronic copies of birth certificates and other documents to election officials. The division's officials say the system should be ready before June 15.
During a morning GOP caucus meeting, Republican Rep. Caryn Tyson, of Parker, noted that county election officials already are dealing with a law that took effect this year to require voters to show photo identification at the polls. During the House's debate, Rep. Bob Brookens, a Marion Republican, said the rule could be a burden for nursing homes, which may have to help new
note reports of non-citizens voting in Kansas remain rare and say the proof-of-citizenship rule will prevent poor, minority and elderly Kansans from registering.
Kobach's bill had appeared likely to pass the House, where Republicans have a large majority and most share Kobach's conservative views. But a few GOP legislators joined persistent Democratic critics on Wednesday in wondering whether state officials, election officials and Kansans involved in registration efforts are ready to have the rule in place this year.
Some lawmakers also question whether Kobach's office can do enough voter education this year. He is planning a $300,000 campaign and said it will blanket the state with broadcast and print ads.
"If we don't get this proof-of-citizenship requirement in, in June, we are going to have more people that are not legally qualified to vote in Kansas on the rolls."
Kobach and his allies contend fears that Kansas is unprepared are unfounded. House

The secretary of state's office said it found 32 non-citizens on registration rolls last year.
"If we don't get this proof-of-citizenship requirement in, in June, we are going to have more people that are not legally qualified to vote in Kansas on the rolls," said Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican. "It is extremely difficult to find and remove the aliens on the voter rolls once they get on."
But Rep. Ann Mah, a Topeka Democrat who voted for the final version of last year's legislation, said imposing the requirement early will hamper voter registration drives. She predicted that it won't be easy for many Kansans to find their birth certificates and other documents.
"How many tens of thousands are just going to give up?" she said. "The bill is bad on many levels."

New York police watch Muslim groups in effort to combat terrorist recruiting
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK—The mayor faced off with the president of Yale University on Tuesday over an effort by the city's police department to monitor Muslim student groups for any signs that their members harbored terrorist sympathies.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
2015
The Associated Press revealed over the weekend that in recent years the New York Police Department has kept close watch on Muslim student associations across the Northeast. The effort included daily tracking of student websites and blogs, monitoring who was speaking to the groups and sending an undercover officer on a whitewater rafting trip with students from the City College of New York.
Yale President Richard Levin was among a number of academics who condemned the effort in a statement Monday, while Rutgers University and leaders of student Muslim groups elsewhere called for investigations into the monitoring
I am writing to state, in the strongest possible terms, that police surveillance based on religion, nationality, or peacefully expressed political opinions is antithetical to the values of Yale, the academic community, and the United States," Levin wrote.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, dismissed those criticisms as baseless.
"I don't know why keeping the country safe is antithetical to the values of Yale," he said.
On Wednesday, Feb. 15, people walk on the University at Buffalo campus in Buffalo, N.Y. The New York Police Department monitored Muslim college students far more broadly than previously known, at schools far beyond the city limits, including the University at Buffalo, the Ivy League colleges of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, The Associated Press has learned.
He said it was "ridiculous" to argue that there was anything wrong with officers keeping an eye on websites that are available to the general public.
"Of course we're going to look at anything that's publicly available in the public domain," he said. "We have an obligation to do so, and it is to protect the very things that let Yale survive."
Asked by a reporter if he thought it was a "step too far" to send undercover investigators to accompany students on rafting vacations, Bloomberg said: "No. We have to keep this country safe."
"It's very cute to go and blame everybody and say we should stay away from anything that smacks of intelligence gathering," he said. "The job of our law enforcement is to make sure that they prevent things. And you only do that by being proactive."
Bloomberg, an independent, added that he believed that police officers had respected people's privacy and obeyed the law.
The campus monitoring program was part of a broad effort by the NYPD, initiated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, to try to spot any burgeoning terror cells in the U.S. before they had a chance to act. The NYPD monitoring of college campuses included schools far beyond the city limits.
Police talked with local authorities about professors 300 miles away in upstate Buffalo. The undercover agent who attended the City College rafting trip recorded students' names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed. Detectives trawled Muslim student websites every day and, although professors and students had not been accused of any wrongdoing, their names were recorded in reports prepared for police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Officers kept tabs on student
An NYPD spokesman, Paul Browne, explained the effort as an attempt to learn more about student organizations that could be ripe for infiltration by terror recruiters. He cited 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges in the United States and abroad who had once been members of Muslim student associations, or MSAs.
Levin said Yale's police department did not participate in any monitoring by the NYPD and was unaware of it.
groups at Yale; Columbia; The University of Pennsylvania; Syracuse; Rutgers; New York University; Clarkson University; the State University of New York campuses in Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook and Potsdam; Queens College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College and La Guardia Community College.
He acknowledged that police monitored student websites and collected publicly available information but said law-abiding students have nothing to fear.
"Students who advertised events or sent emails about regular events should not be worried about a terrorism file being kept on them,"
Syracuse University does "not approve of, or support, any surveillance or investigation of student groups based solely on ethnicity, religion or political viewpoint," said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs at Syracuse.
Columbia University "would obviously be concerned about anything that could chill our essential values of academic freedom or intrude on student privacy," spokesman Robert Hornsby said.
"An MSA is simply a group of Muslim students; just because a terrorist happened to be member of an MSA does not mean that MSAs, which nationally represents hundreds of thousands of Muslim students, have any connection to criminal activity," Hamid said. "Law enforcement should pursue actual leads, not imaginary ones based on Islamophobia."
The University of Buffalo said in a statement that it "does not conduct
A Muslim student leader at Yale, Faisal Hamid, challenged the NYPD's justification.
he said. "NYPD only investigated persons who we had reasonable suspicion to believe might be involved in unlawful activities."
this kind of surveillance, and, if asked, UB would not voluntarily cooperate with such a request. As a public university, UB strongly supports the values of freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of religion, and a reasonable expectation of privacy."
The University of Pennsylvania contacted the NYPD and received assurances that none of its students is being monitored, a spokesman said.
The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for officials to investigate to determine the extent of the monitoring and how to prevent it from happening again.
"They're just going out and casting a wide net around a whole community, so they're criminalizing in a way a whole community based on their religion," said Mongi Dhaouadi, director of CAIR in Connecticut.
Rutgers University, based in New Jersey, called for the NYPD to investigate its own activities. The Muslim Student Association at Rutgers called the monitoring a violation of civil rights.

Casting is underway in Lawrence for a new CBS reality TV show about dating. Several hopeful University students were picked amongst other applicants to go to Teller's Wednesday evening for screenings.
"3" will air this summer and is called a "docu-series" by CBS because it hopes to dispel typical reality TV show stigmas.
"They told us it's not going to be like "The Bacheleor," Danielle Fuhrman said, a senior from Tulsa, Okla. "There's no crazy or extravagant dates, but we will meet 100 or 150 guys and see if we want to date any of them."
The show will cast three single women of various ages who have never met to live in a house together. Within the first couple of weeks the women will meet men of different demographics and will pick men to become more serious with, but casting director Maria Skeels said they aren't expecting anyone to propose.
"We honestly don't even know what the outcome will be," Skeels said. "It could very well be that none of the girls end up with someone."
teacher, so I don't want anything out there that might harm my reputation, and I want to be myself. I definitely don't want to look sleazy
While the women will meet the same men, the idea is not for the women to fight, but to form a support system for one another and help each other find love.
Skelks, a University graduate and founder of Hollywood Hawks, a network for KU students and graduates working in Hollywood, was instrumental in bringing casting to Lawrence.
A similar show aired in Israel called "Shalosh," was a hit in the Middle East.
"One night in bed I just knew we had to come," Skeels said. "I made my case. I said we need to go for XYZ and they agreed."

Katie Merserko, a graduate student from Overland Park, was asked to go to Teller's and has tried out for American Idol previously, but thinks it's important to set boundaries.
"This seems down to earth and realistic, but I have limitations," Miserko said. "I am going to be a
Casting is taking place all over the country and requires hopefuls to fill out an online application
on the CBS website, http://www. cbsdatingshow.com/, to begin the auditioning process. Men and women can apply and those
selected will be asked to attend a nearby screening.
The Lawrence screening takes place from Tuesday to Friday and
students have until Thursday to apply.

STUDENT SENATE
Code of ethics changed to extend privacy rights
Student Senate's Rights Committee passed a bill to the yesterday night with amendments to the Code of Rights and Regulations that officially extends and modernizes students' expression and privacy rights.
Originally, the bill also had an amendment that would have extended the University's power to discipline students for off-campus activities that "has had or may have an adverse affect on the health, safety, or security of any member of the University community."
But committee chair Aaron Harris spoke against the amendment saying it wasn't necessary due to the override of federal law, and that he thought the amendment was an attempt by the University to limit students' rights. The committee voted to strike out the amendment, and pass the rest of the bill.
The committee also rejected a bill that would have eliminated Student Senate seats reserved for Greek organizations and organizations that aren't registered with the Student Involvement & Leadership Center.
The full Senate will vote on the amendments at its regular meeting next Wednesday.

Third-grade girl shot, classmate suspected
The injured third-grade was airlifted to Seattle's Harboview Medical Center, where she underwent surgery Wednesday afternoon so doctors could assess her injuries, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.
Police said a third-grade boy was being questioned and a firearm was found in a classroom. The boy apparently shot
the girl, though police provided no further details about the incident and said their investigation was just beginning.
The Brementton Schools superintendent's office said the girl was shot in the abdomen.
Bremerton police Lt. Peter Fisher said officers and emergency crews were dispatched to Armin Jahr Elementary school in Bremerton around 1:30 p.m. in response to a call that a student was shot by another student. The school is in a quiet residential neighborhood about 20 miles west of Seattle, across Puget Sound.
The school went into lockdown immediately after the shooting, said Bremerton Schools spokeswoman Patty Glaser. Lockdown procedures call for announcements
to be made over the school's loudspeakers and for teachers to lock their classrooms, she said.
Armin Jahr Elementary has about 400 students, Glaser said. She said the school will reopen Thursday and three counselors will talk to teachers, students and parents.
"Our plans at this time, school will continue as usual." Glaser said.
When asked how a gun was brought into the school, Fisher said police were still investigating the circumstances and couldn't provide details.
Police were working with the school district Wednesday afternoon to reunite parents with their children, Fisher added, and investigators were interviewing witnesses, which included students.
As of mid-afternoon, parents were still arriving to pick up their children from the school. A police officer was checking vehicles as they entered the parking lot.
Many questions remained, including how a child could have obtained a loaded weapon and brought it into a grade school classroom.
In the latest scorecard by the Brady Campaign, a national gun control advocacy group, Washington scored no points in the child safety category because the state does not require trigger locks for guns and lacks laws to prevent child access to firearms.

Workshop offers students problem-solving techniques
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
From homesickness to procrastination and finance help, the Bounce Back workshop Wednesday at McColum Residence Hall covered potential problems a student could encounter throughout their academic career and beyond.
The workshop collaborated with different departments around the campus to offer students advice on a variety of problems such as procrastination, time management, academic achievement and even job and internship searching.
Students attending the work
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012
shop began by filling out a questionnaire to identify three key areas of focus and were assigned different booths, represented by different University departments, to gain incite on how to solve their problems.
Alahna Broadway a junior from Jacksonville, N.C., appreciated the one-stop-shop setup at the workshop.

those things."
"It's really nice because all the organizations that you would need to be successful are in one place," Broadway said. "You don't have to make appointments, you can just go around to each one."
Broadway utilized the time to speak with the career center about potential jobs and internships.
Sheryl Adelman Kimmel, a senior advisor for the University Advising Center helps oversee the program. She said while it helps students with an array of problems, some of the most common are time management and academic standing.
"It was really insightful because I didn't really know what to do after college," Broadway said. "So, I got help with a resume and got some internship information. Now I feel better about both of
"It's a good way for students to check in," Kimmel said. "Using a sounding board of experts helps students understand if what they are doing really works."
Kimmel said for students struggling with academic standing, the workshop can help students learn how to communicate with professors and truly understand if they need to drop the class or if they

Kristen Scott, associate director for the KU Academic Achievement and Access Center, said one of the easiest ways to avoid
procrastination is by keeping a planner and working backwards.
we're all so busy," Scott said. "We all have a million things going on, but by noting an exam or project in your planner, then you have the opportunity to work backwards and schedule time, even if it's small steps. If you've got a paper to write, write the cover letter. Giving yourself a good starting place is really key to having a strong finish."
Additional Bounce Back workshops are Feb. 28 at Hashinger Hall Theater and March 13 at the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center from 4 to 5 p.m. No registration is required.

Substance mailed to Congress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Some congressional offices outside Washington and media organizations have received threatening letters containing a suspicious powdery substance that was tested and proved to be harmless, the FBI and the Senate's top law enforcement officer said Wednesday.
Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer said in a memo to Senate offices that the letters were sent to three state and home district offices. A district office of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, received one of the letters, spokesman Kevin Smith said.
A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that so far fewer than 10 members of Congress had received letters.
Letters were also sent to several media organizations. FBI spokesman Peter Donald said agents had responded to Viacom and at least one other location in New York. Preliminary tests showed that the powder did not pose a threat, he said.
"So far, none of the letters have contained a hazardous substance," FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said. "We are working with those law enforcement agencies affected to determine if the mailings are related. We take these matters seriously and will investigate fully."
The letters tell the recipients that there is a "10 percent chance you have just been exposed to a lethal pathogen."
Even though none of the letters that have been tested have contained harmful substances, Gainer told staff to be extra vigilant.
"The author of these letters has indicated that additional letters containing a powdery substance will be arriving at more Senate offices and that some of these letters may contain an actual harmful material," Gainer's memo to Senate offices said. "Although all letters received thus far have proved harmless, it is essential that we treat every piece of suspicious mail as if it may, in fact, be harmful."
The letters bore a return address from "The MIB" and were postmarked Portland, Ore.
The Portland return address on the letters appears to be phony. The combination of the address given — 2413 NW Burnside, ZIP code 97209 — does not exist.
The sender wants an "end to corporate money and "lobbying," an end to corporate "personhood $ ^{a} $ and a new constitutional convention. The Associated Press obtained a copy of a letter.
The threats raised memories of post-9/11 incidents that rattled Washington. In mid-November 2001, authorities closed two Senate office buildings after anthrax attacks on Congress. Those attacks came after four people — two postal workers in Washington, a New York City hospital worker and a Florida photo editor — died from exposure to anthrax.
Also at that time, an unopened envelope sent to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., resembled a letter mailed the previous month to then-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D. The Leahy letter was discovered in the 280 barrels of congressional mail quarantined after a Daschle employee opened a powder-filled envelope.

COMMENTARY
But what really matters is that Auburn trails Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Alabama leads the all-time series 41-34-1.
Recordworthy rivalry
For a fan to put more importance on a favorite team's victory over its rival during the regular season instead of its national championship victory shows the magnitude of a rivalry like the Iron Bowl. Gaining the upper hand over Alabama is just as important to Auburn fans as winning the national title.

RECAPPING LAST NIGHT

The Border Showdown has a similar mentality.
With the end to the Border Showdown because of conference realignment, Saturday's basketball game between Missouri and Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse has to be one of the biggest games in the storied rivalry's history. Both teams are ranked in the top five in the AP Poll going into Saturday's pivotal matchup.
For 53 years, Auburn had not won a national championship in football until 2010.
The Jayhawks' loss to the Tigers on Feb. 4, in Columbia was as debilitating a loss as some of the Jayhawks' past postseason
Aclose friend of mine is the most fanatical Auburn fan I know told me once that Auburn's victory over Alabama was bigger than its 2010 BCS National Championship victory over Oregon.
Neither side enjoys seeing the other gloating. Seeing your biggest rival gloat provokes you to find the nearest toilet and vomit your guts out as if you had the stomach flu. It's that painful.
Both fan bases go at each other's throat 365 days a year. It's a continuous barrage of verbal attacks that has no end in sight despite Missouri's move to the SEC.
The Tigers always consider it the biggest game of their season not just because the Jayhawks are their biggest rival, but because Kansas is a basketball blueblood and the top dog in the Big 12. Tigers' fans have been looking in one direction: up which means always looking up at the Jayhawks.
Kansas and Missouri don't consider themselves rivals but rather enemies.
For Kansas, because of its rich tradition and history in basketball, significant post season victories always trump any win over Missouri when it comes to importance, but that doesn't mean the rivalry takes a back seat. The games mean everything to both bitter rivals. Kansas' 171-95 all-time series lead over Missouri is a huge deal to Jayhawks fans. Team records and rankings are thrown out when these two teams faceoff,but the rivalry is obviously enhanced when both are ranked.

CLOSE CALL IN TEXAS
KORY CARPENTER

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
— The rematch between Kansas and Texas A&M in Reed Arena Wednesday night wasn't totally unlike the first meeting on Jan. 24. The tempo was slow, defense ruled all and the Jayhawks eventually won by a few possessions.
How they got there, however,
was a different story.
"If you told me wed won by eight before we got here, I'd be ecstatic," coach Bill Self said after
the 66-58 Kansas victory. "But we were up 21 with about 10 left, and you guys saw what happened down the stretch."
There was actually 13:25 left in the game when Kansas held a 21 point lead over the Aggies. Texas A&M clawed themselves back though, cutting the deficit to 10 with 4:36 to go. Self blamed the minor meltdown on bad plays, among others.
With 40 seconds remaining and the Jayhawks clinging to a 62-56 lead, a loose ball led to a pile-up on the floor. In the
middle of it all, junior forward Thomas Robinson was called for a technical foul for apparently pushing an opponent. It was his fifth foul and his night was done, finishing with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
"Inexplicable." Self called Robinson's foul.
"There's a lot of teams out there that can focus, but there's not too many that can focus for 40 minutes," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "Our goal is to focus for 40 minutes."
Late game miscues aren't
exactly new for the Jayhawks this season. In the 74-71 loss at Missouri on Feb. 4, Kansas was held scoreless in the final 2:05 of the game as the Tigers ended the night on an 11-0 run. Late mistakes against Kansas State earlier this month in Manhattan almost proved to be fatal as well, with the Jayahwks holding on for a 59-53 victory.
"I don't know what it is," Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said on the mishaps late in games. "We just need to focus in a little bit more defensively and offensively
when the game is close or almost over"
A few empty possessions late for the Aggies and timely free throw shooting from Jeff Withew were just enough for Kansas when the clock read all zeros.
“It’s a good win and we'll be happy we won, but I'm not leaving out of here feeling great about anything.” Self said. “I don't think anybody in our locker room is."

It was a short day of work for the Kansas swimming and diving team yesterday on the first day of competition at the Big 12 Championships, but the quick, two-event evening provided enough time for two Kansas swimmers to achieve their goal of recording lifetime-best times.
Junior Svetlana Golovchun gave the Jayhawks great energy in the opening 50-yard backstroke leg of the 200-yard medley relay. She posted a lifetime-best time in her split as the Kansas relay team finished fourth.

During the second and final event, the 800-yard freestyle relay, senior Shannon Garlie posted a lifetime best of her own. Her impressive lead-off leg helped spark relay teammates junior Brooke Brull, sophomore MorganSharp and junior Rebecca Swank. The relay team finished in fourth place.
Along with Golovchun in the 200-yard medley relay were junior Brittany Rospierski, sophomore Sophiaia Filatova, and freshman Kaja Kolsek. The four displayed good intensity and were able to keep their composure while swimming at a high level, Campbell said.
"It was about as good a start as we could have hoped for," coach Clark Campbell said. "It was
Kansas two fourth-place finishes tallied 60 points and the team currently sits in fourth place overall, ahead of Iowa State and behind Texas, Texas A&M and Missouri.
Campbell acknowledged the team's fourth-place standing, but still believes the ultimate goal is for his swimmers to achieve their individual goals — to see the results of six months spent training for this week.
"The most important thing is that each swimmer is going for lifetime-best times," Campbell said. "How that breaks down as far as what team is ahead you, we kind of let that play out at the end."

THE MORNING BREW Sports create true, inspiring moments
Finding a job, the economy, famine and war are just a few of the issues the world faces.
And with so many of those problems, who would not want to escape to a world where anything is possible?
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
That place can be found in the world of sports. A place where Cinderella lives, and legends come to fruition. Where kids who never would have had a chance become icons. It's a place where a Harvard graduate like Jeremy Lin can capture the entire country's attention for something other than his academic triumphs or business ventures.
That's why I brewed about my favorite sports quotes last February, and that's why I'm brewing about them again.
Sports create memories that not only last a lifetime, but are also genuine. They cannot be faked or planned, they are simply real.
There's no way I could possibly limit myself to only writing one of these, so without further ado, here's bree number two:
Massachusetts! I play for the United States of America." — Patrick Demsey as Mike Eruzione in the movie "Miracle."
"Mike Eruzione! Winthrop,
A team full of college kids playing the best team in the world. What a miracle that game was.
But the most special aspect of this quote, and that team in particular, is that these kids came from different schools that hated each other. Because of the physicality of the sport, hockey rivalries are some of the most intense in sports among the players. When Enuzione said this, he put everything in the past for the
"She's not Lois Einhorn! She's Ray Finkle, she's a man!" — Jim Carray as Ace Ventura in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."
good of the team.
There are a number of great quotes in the classic comedy, But this one takes first place, as Ace Ventura reveals the true kidnapper of Dan Marino, to be Ray Finkle, the former Miami Dolphins kicker. In the movie, Finkle blamed Marino for not holding the "laces out" on a kick that would have won the Dolphins the Super Bowl. Instead, Finkle missed the kick, and the rest is cinematic history.
"Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time." — Lou Brock.
Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock nailed this one about the importance of being fearless. Brock knew that the only way to succeed in sports is to not be afraid of making a mistake.
KU
"I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." — Michael
Jordan.
Jordan referenced all of the shots hed missed and the games he's lost as his motivation. Michael Jordan hated losing more than anything else, and because of that hatred, his work ethic became unrivaled. Jordan is often considered the best athlete, or at least, the best basketball player of all time. And the man attributed his success to his failures.
At Kansas, there is a bond created from sports, and that bond will be on display against Missouri on Saturday. And like Bill Self said before the 2008 national championship game. "I want to thank you in advance for the great memories it's going to be."

Former Dallas Cowboys coach joins Kansas
ETHAN PADWAY
ETHAN FRAWAN
epadway@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDK_BIG12Fball
When Kansas football coach Charlie Weis started talking to Dave Campo about joining his staff as the defensive coordinator, Campo had just one question for Weis: "What's the quarterback situation?"
"When I was the coach of the Cowboys, I didn't have one," Campo said. "So I believe that you really can't win without a quarterback. You have to have a leader that steps out of that huddle, commands respect and has some talent."
Even though Campo is a defensive-minded coach, he still knows the value of a good starting quarterback and the struggles of looking for one.
During Campo's first coaching stint in Dallas he was able to experience the difference a good quarterback made. During his time as the defensive backs coach, later the defensive coordinator, Campo saw the Cowboys win three Super Bowls with Troy Aikman under center.
But in Campo's first season as coach, Aikman missed time with concussions, and then he retired in the offseason.
In his defensive philosophy, Campo believes there are two defensive positions that mirror the quarterback's importance.
"I think you need a middle linebacker, and I think you need a safety. Those two positions are the
guys that are kind of the quarter backs of the defense*. Camo said
While Campo is re-entering the college game for the first time in 22 seasons, he is not unprepared.
Coach Dave Campo answers questions at the one-on-one interviews with assistant coaches during football media availability last month.
101
Campo had the privilege to coach under Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, the only two coaches to win a National Championship and a Super Bowl as the coach of the team.
But there is another, much less well-known coach who Campo also believes deserves credit for his success: University of Albany coach Bob Ford.
Campo was a graduate assistant under Ford and had to apply against many applicants in a process that was similar to applying for a full-time coaching job.
"He taught, every year, a new set of graduate students how to coach. We had to recruit. We had to be the coach of the freshman team in one of the freshman games. We had to set up all the travel." Campo said.
Now on the Kansas staff, Campo thinks the group has the chemistry and ability to thrive as they attempt to turn around a program that won five games over the past two seasons.
"When you're in the trenches, you've got to have people who like each other," Campo said. "They don't have to love each other, but they certainly have to put their ego's in a drawer sometimes, and I think he's got that group."

Non-conference game equal to a 'day off'
OMINGTON, Ind. — Instead of taking a bye, the Indiana Hoosiers opted to play a non-conference game Wednesday night.
It was almost as easy as taking the day off.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cody Zeller had 17 points and seven rebounds and Victor Oladipo scored 16 points, leading No. 23 Indiana to a 75-56 rout over North Carolina Central.
The game was originally scheduled for Dec. 7, but when the conference schedule-makers dealt Indiana two byes in less than two weeks during league play, the Hoosiers asked North Carolina Central to move the game to late February.
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference school agreed, but it only prolonged the inevitable. Indiana (21-7) was too big, too strong, too deep and too athletic for a foe in its first season as a full-fledged Division I member.
North Carolina Central (14-13) went more than 9 minutes in the first half without grabbing a rebound and had only four during the final 15:09 of the first half.
Indiana coach Tom Crean wanted the new date to prevent his team from getting stale with so much time off.
Dominique Sutton scored 21 points to lead the Eagles and Emanuel Chapman and Jeremy Ingram each had 10 points, not nearly enough to prevent North Carolina Central from losing its third straight in the series or dropping to 0-7 against Big Ten schools since moving to
The Eagles came into Wednesday with five wins in their previous six games.
Division I.
They weren't.
Despite the lack of energy inside Assembly Hall, the Hoosiers still looked sharp. They shot 51 percent from the field, outrebounded the Eagles 35-16 and never let North Carolina Central get close after extending the lead to double digits in the first half.
The Eagles rallied, closing to 28-18, but Indiana rebuilt a 39-26 halftime lead and never let up.

Notre Dame's quick feet contribute to winning streak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jerian Grant scored 20 points and No. 20 Notre Dame extended its winning streak to nine games with a 71-44 rout of West Virginia on Wednesday night.
Scott Martin added 15 points and Jack Cooley and Eric Atkins had 13 each for the Irish, who shot 61 percent. They outscored the Mountaineers 41-16 in the second half after leading by just two points at the break.
lead. After a timeout, Atkins hit a jumper and Martin connected on a 3-pointer and the 17-4 run put the Irish up 47-32.
The Irish (20-8, 12-3 Big East) have not lost since Jan. 16 at Rutgers and are 15-1 at the Purcell
The Mountaineers (17-11, 7-8) have lost six of their last eight. Kevin Jones had 15 points for West Virginia, which shot just 31.5 percent and made only 6 of 27 field goal attempts after halftime.
Pavilion. It's the first time in program history Notre Dame has won nine straight Big East games.
Grant took off on a dunk attempt with just less than 10 minutes to play and lost the ball on his way to the rim. But he hustled and came up with the ball in the corner and hit a 3-pointer to give the Irish a 58-35 lead.
Notre Dame's quickness began to show in the first 5 minutes of the second half after the Irish led 30-28 at halftime.
Atkins' three-point play, a steal leading to a dunk by Grant and Grant's 3-pointer after an offensive rebound built a 10-point
West Virginia's Darryl Bryant, scoreless in the first meeting between the teams, a 55-51 Irish win in Morgantown on Feb.8, had 10 points in the first half and none in the second.

GAME TO REMEMBER
The same guy who every Kansas fan has been ragging on finally saved the day. He scored his second highest total of the season with 21 points, 18 in the first half, and led all Kansas scorers. On a night when Robinson and Taylor were lackluster offensively, Johnson kept the Jayhawks in front of the Aggies.

Robinson was frustrated throughout the night. He missed seven of his 10 shots, many of which were near the basket, and he fouled out with a technical that enraged coach Bill Self. He still grabbed 13 rebounds and contributed to the stout defensive effort in the first half, but Robinson wasn't himself on Wednesday.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas— As No. 4 Kansas (23-5, 13-2) has ascended from overachiever to contender, one player has been the typical scapegoat when things don't go smoothly.
It's not guards Tyshawn Taylor and Travis Releford, who have been reliable options on both ends of the floor. It's not forward Thomas Robinson, who is a candidate for the national player of the year award, nor center Jeff Withey, who has elevated his game and cut down on fouls.
On the first play of the game, Johnson drove with the ball to the right side of the hoop and hit a floater. Then one raintime later, he knocked down aump shot.
It was guard Elijah Johnson, who had hit just 27.9 percent of his three-point shots in conference play. Then, on Wednesday night at Reed Arena, Johnson ignored the past, scoring 21 points and leading his team to a 66-58 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies.
Johnson, who didn't turn the ball over once, said it was just like playing in the park.
"I needed to score for us tonight," he said.
a matter of time until things would change. By taking it to the hoop early and getting lay-ups and freethrow attempts, Johnson was able to find a rhythm from outside.
step and a balanced, accurate jump shot.
"We've kind of been waiting for Elijah to come on," Taylor said. "It was good for him today to get a little bit of confidence going into the game Saturday."
On a night when Taylor and Robinson scored 22 points, 13.6 points fewer than their combined conference-season average, Johnson attacked the Aggies with a quick first
"I didn't realize he had 18 until I got to the stat sheet," coach Bill Self said of Johnson's first-half scoring total.
After the Maui Invitational, Self said Johnson, who was scoreless with seven turnovers against Florida Atlantic on Nov. 30, suffered from the "Hawaiian Hangover." When the shots continued to rim in and out, Self insisted that Johnson's shots fall in practice, just not yet in games.
Johnson continually assured doubters that he's too good of a player to continue his cold shooting streak. He said it would only be

Big East player of the week essential to Marquette victory

Marquette's Jae Crowder, left, puts up a shot against Rutgers' Kadeem Jack, right, during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 22, in Milwaukee.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — Jae Crowder scored 27 points and Darius Johnson-Odom added 21 to lead No. 10 Marquette to an 82-65 victory over Rutgers on Wednesday night.
The win was the fourth straight and 11th in 12 game for the Golden Eagles (23-5, 12-3) and it kept them tied for second place in the Big East with No. 20 Notre Dame, which beat West Virginia 71-44 on Wednesday. The top four teams earn a double-bye for the conference tournament.
Crowder, named the Big East player of the week Monday for his career-high 29-point, 12-rebound effort against Connecticut on Saturday, hit 11 of 14 shots, including two 3-pointers, and scored 14 points in the second half.
Jerome Seagears had 14 points and Gilvydas Biruta added 12 for Rutgers (12-16, 4-11), which lost for the sixth straight time, including three in a row to ranked teams. The Scarlet Knights were routed by Notre Dame on Feb. 15, but held its own against No. 2 Syracuse before losing 74-64 on Sunday.
Rutgers, which trailed nearly the entire game, trimmed the lead to 58-52 with 11:30 remaining when Dane Miller scored on an offensive rebound.
But Marquette responded with a 12-2 run to push the lead to 72-54 with 7:40 remaining when Johnson-Odom stole the ball and scored on a dunk. Crowder had six points during the run, including a nifty reverse layup.
Rutgers, which had 23 turnovers, could get no closer than 14 points the rest of the way. Marquette, which had 12 steals, scored 31 points off the turnovers.
Vander Blue added 10 points for Marquette.
The Golden Eagles, known for
their slow starts, jumped out fast against Rutgers, hitting seven of their first eight shots, including three 3-pointers, and took a 21-6 lead when Todd Mayo scored on a driving layup with 14:51 remaining.
But Rutgers used a 23-12 run to trim the lead to 33-29 when Miller scored on a driving layup with 7:16 remaining.
Johnson-Odom and Crowder combined for 32 points in the first half as Marquette forced 14 turnovers and scored 18 points off them.
Marquette ended the half on a 13-6 run for a 46-35 lead.
Marquette forward Davante Gardner missed his sixth straight game with a sprained left knee.

Home-court losing streak ended against Philadelphia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Martin scored 16 points and Patrick Patterson added 12 off the bench for the Rockets, who've won three in a row and snapped a four-game home-court losing streak to Philadelphia.
HOUSTON — Luis Scola had 19 points and 10 rebounds, Kyle Lowy added 13 points and two crucial three-point plays down the stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 93-87 on Wednesday night.
Nikola Vucevic scored a careerhigh 18 points and Thaddeus Young had 15 for the 76ers, who will head into the All-Star break on a five-game losing streak. The 76ers lost for only the second time in their past nine meetings with Houston.
Philly was held without a 3-pointer for the first time this season, missing all nine attempts. The Rockets went 5 for 18 from 3-point range, with all but one of the makes coming in the second half.
The lead changed hands five times in the final five minutes before Lowry drove into Vucevic for a layup, drew the foul and made the free throw for an 86-84 lead. Louis Williams made a free throw with 1:38 remaining, but Lowry then converted another three-
point play with 59 seconds left to make it 89-85.
Williams slipped on the baseline in front of the Houston bench, the 76ers' 13th turnover, and the Rockets hit their free throws in the last minute to preserve the victory.
Lowry also had eight rebounds and Chandler Parsons scored 12 points for the Rockets. Williams scored 17 points for the 76ers.
The bad shooting and sloppy offense continued, with the Rockets leading only 28-27 with less than six minutes left before the break. At that point, Vucevic had 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting, while the rest of the 76ers had 17 points on 7-of-26 shooting.
Both teams shot poorly early, and neither had scored 10 points midway through the first quarter. Lowry left four minutes into the game and limped to the locker room with athletics trainer Keith Jones.
Philadelphia also had five turnovers in the second quarter to fuel a late Rockets' spurt. Goran Dragic hit a 3-pointer early in a 13-4 burst and Houston built a 10-point lead. The 76ers answered with a quick
Houston found its shooting touch first and took a 19-16 lead. Lowry returned to the bench with Jones in the last minute of the quarter, and was back on the floor for the start of the second.
8-2 spurt to trail 45-41 at halftime.
The Rockets picked up the offensive pace in the third quarter, stretching the lead to eight points. The 76ers attacked Houston's small lineup inside, answering with a 10-0 run that gave them a 56-54 lead.
Martin swished back-to-back 3-pointers near the nine-minute mark to keep Houston within three. After Thaddeus Young scored inside, Martin hit another 3 and Patterson scored to tie it at 75-all.
Houston went cold late in the third quarter, and mustered only 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting. The 76ers scored 14 of their 24 third-quarter points in the paint and led 65-61 heading to the fourth.
Notes: The Rockets have won 24 consecutive games when holding their opponent to less than 90 points. ... Lowry missed his first free-throw attempt, after making his previous 25. ... The 76ers dropped to 7-2 in the second game of back-to-back sets this season. ... Philly coach Doug Collins couldn't give a timetable for Spencer Hawes' return from a left Achilles strain. Collins said Hawes will visit a doctor in Los Angeles during the All-Star break and wear a protective boot.

Large first-half deficit doesn't stop Syracuse
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Scoop Jardine scored 15 points to help No. 2 Syracuse overcome a 13-point first-half deficit and beat South Florida 56-48 on Wednesday night.
Kris Joseph had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Orange (28-1, 15-1 Big East), who matched school records for most regularseason and conference victories — both set in 2009-10.
South Florida took advantage of Syracuse's cold-shooting offense by opening an 18-5 lead 10:25 in when Augustus Gilchrist hit a 10-footer from the paint. After
Anthony Collins scored 16 points for the Bulls, who endured a 12:33 stretch without a point spanning halftime. South Florida (17-11, 10-5) had a four-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 1-9 against Syracuse.
The game was decided in the final 5 minutes, with the Orange leading 47-46.
Jardine was fouled making a layup with 4:04 left. He completed the three-point play, and Joseph added two putbacks of his own misses to seal the win.
It was a game of back-and-forth runs.
The run began with Dion Watters scoring in the post to cut the Bulls lead to 18-7 with 9:19 left in the first half. And it ended with Jardine scoring on the transition 2:05 into the second half to put the Orange ahead 33-20.
going 2-for-14 from the field, the Orange mounted a rally of their own, scoring 26 straight points.
The Bulls weren't done.
After missing 13 consecutive attempts from the field, Hugh Robertson finally scored 2.33 into the second half. South Florida eventually cut the lead to 5 on two occasions, before going off on a 9-0 run, capped by Collins hitting a 10-foot from the paint with 6:25 left.
This marked only the second time this season the Orange have trailed by double digits. And the only other time that happened came in a 67-58 loss at Notre Dame on Jan. 21.
Syracuse has now won eight in a row since that loss.
The Orange wore their one-time only Nike-designed uniforms, designated for teams who have won a national title. The jerseys were gray — officially, platinum — with an orange stripe down each side.
And at first glance, the uniforms
weren't the only thing looking unusual about the Orange through the first 10 minutes of the first half. They opened hitting two of their first 14 attempts, and trailed 18-5 after Augustus Gilchrist hit a 10-footer with 9:35 left in the period.
C. J. Fair finished with 13 points and was the only Orange player to hit a field goal — going 2-for-3 — before Waiters scored in the post with 9:19 left to prompt the run. Jardine hit a 3-point basket from at least 25 feet to give Syracuse momentum with 5:48, and the crowd erupted 90 seconds later when Jardine drove up the left wing on the transition and fed Kris Joseph for an alley-oop, to cut the Bulls lead to 20-18.
Syracuse was sluggish and stymied by an aggressive Bulls defense. And South Florida also set the pace in the offensive end with a patient halfcourt style.
Down 24-20 at the break, South Florida did hold an opponent to under 30 points in the first half for the 24th time in 28 games. And yet it was their lack of offense that cost the Bulls.
South Florida finished 20 of 52 from the field after opening 9 of 11.

No.1 seed Luke Donald out in opening round
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARANA, Ariz. — Luke Donald won't be playing the 18th hole at Dove Mountain this year, either.
MISSISSippi State's Rickie Fowler follows through his swing. He was the winner of the boys golf tournament.
Donald, so dominant in winning the Match Play Championship last year that he closed out every match before the 18th hole, became only the third No.1 seed to lose in the opening round Wednesday in another predictably crazy day on Dove Mountain.
Ernie Els, who only got into the 64-man field when Phil Mickelson took his family on a ski vacation, delivered the biggest shocker in the first round with a 5-and-4 victory.
Rory McLtry, of Northern Ireland, flops the ball onto the 16th green while playing George Cootzee of South Africa during the Match Play Championship golf tournament on Wednesday, Feb. 22, in Marana, Ariz.
"I don't think it would have mattered who I played today. I just didn't play well." Donald said. "I struggled. I gave away too many holes and made too many mistakes. You can't do that in match play against anyone, let alone Ernie."
Tiger Woods nearly found that out against Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
Woods had to play left-handed in one of his three journeys into the desert. He trailed the Spaniard with four holes to play, and both of them looked beatable. That changed when Woods drove the par-5 15th green to win with a two-putt birdie, won the 16th with a par and then closed out the Spaniard with an 8-foot par putt for a 1-up win.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We both made our share of mistakes, there's no doubt about that," said Woods. "But somehow, I was able to move on."
That was the only objective in this World Golf Championship, a single-elimination format in which the only proper use of the word "upset" is the mood of the 32 guys who are headed home.
lan Poulter, the Match Play winner two years ago, suffered his worst loss in nine appearances when Bae Sang-moon beat him, 4 and 3.
Among them:
In the most thrilling match of the opening round, Jim Furky was on the verge of sending Dustin Johnson home early for the fourth straight year when Johnson hit his tee shot into the desert and had to take a penalty drop on the 20th hole. Furky chipped across the green and three-putted for bogey to lose.
— Rafael Cabrera-Bello was 3 up with three holes to play against Jason Day when he bogeyed three straight holes, and punt beat him with a 4-foot birdie put on the 19th hole.
The other top seeds didn't have too many problems.
U. S. Open champion Rory McLlroy won four straight holes on the back nine to seize control against George Coetzze. He was 2 up with two holes to play. Lee Westwood never trailed in his 3-and-1 win over Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium. The test for Westwood comes on Thursday against Robert Karlsson, when he tries to advance to the third round for the first time. Martin Kaymer easily dispatched Greg Chalmers, while Steve Stricker outlasted Kevin Na.
— Bill Haas, coming off that monster win at Riviera just three days ago, looked like a winner when he was 1 up on the 17th green and had a 5-foot birdie put. Ryo Ishikawa held from 18 feet, Haas missed, and the Japanese star made par on the 18th to win.
Fernandez-Castano got some attention this week for saying Woods was "beatable" and not at his best. "He's beatable, too," Woods replied, and the way they played, both were
McIlroy and Westwood now have a chance to replace Donald at No. 1 in the world with a win this week.
well. It's disappointing. I've been working really hard. To lose control of the golf ball like I did today is really frustrating, but I believe the hard work will start paying off soon."
Donald will head home to Florida to shake off a poor start to his season.
A year after becoming the first player to win money titles on the PGA and European tours, he was not a factor at Abu Dhabi or Riviera, and this the first time he's had three straight events out of the top 30 since August 2009.
"I'm not sure where to start," Donald said. "I just didn't play very well."
right.
Woods lost the opening two holes and looked as though he might fall 3 down until making a 10-foot par save. Woods won three of the next five holes, one of them with a 50-foot birdie putt, and that's when the match became a case of give-and-take.
Woods was on the verge of going
2 up until he three-putted the ninth
and Fernandez-Castano got up-and-down for bogey. Three holes later, Woods had to make a par to avoid falling 2 down.
He wasn't wild all the time, but it cost him when he was — a left-handed shot out of the desert on No. 2, too much club that sent him over the 11th green and into the desert. But he settled down right about the time the Spaniard began
to struggle with the putter, missing putts inside 10 feet on the 15th and 16th holes that enabled Woods to take the lead.
SOCCER
"I think if there was one day to beat Tiger Woods, this was it," Fernandez-Castano said. "I didn't take the opportunity. I missed a few shots. And of course, you can't miss spots if you want to beat one of the greatest in history."
Sporting Kansas City picks up midfielder
Midfielder Graham Zusi has signed a new contract with Sporting Kansas City after putting together a breakout season in which he scored five goals and added nine assists.
Zusi had the eventual winning goal in the U.S. team's 1-0 victory over Panama.
The 25-year-old Zusi also had a career-best 35 appearances while gaining a reputation for his long-range goals. His strong MLS campaign earned him a spot on the U.S. men's national team, where he started in each of his first two international appearances last month.
The former second-round draft pick said the culture of Sporting KC had a lot to do with his new contract：“The culture, fans, atmosphere and organization are top-notch, and our objectives are the same, to win championships.”

Magic beats Nets for 9th straight time
NEWARK, N.J. — Dwight Howard had 20 points and 17 rebounds and the Orlando Magic rolled to a 108-91 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
Howard, who can become a free agent in July if the Magic don't trade him by the March 15 trading deadline, got the loudest cheers from the crowd of 15,364 in the oregame introductions.
And the center didn't disappoint in leading the Magic to their ninth straight win over the Brooklyn-bound Nets.
Deron Williams had 23 points, six rebounds and eight assists to lead New Jersey, which headed into the All-Star breaking having lost 8 of 11. Rookie MarShon Brooks added a game-high 24, while Brook Lopez had 15 in his second game of the season after recovering from a broken right foot.
Glen Davis, who hit his first seven shots, added 16 points for Orlando, which won for the eighth time in 11 games.

Pierce and Garnett win 11th straight at home
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Garnett's return after a two-game absence wasn't enough to lift the Celtics, who were still without point guard Rajon Rondo as he served the second game of a two-game suspension.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook scored 31 points, Kevin Durant added 28 and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Boston Celtics 119-104 on Wednesday night for their 11th straight win at home.
Boston trailed by as many as 27 in the third quarter before rallying to get within 108-102 after Pierce's free throw with 3:31 left. Durant banked in a pair of jumpers and hit two free throws during an 11-2 run to close the game for Oklahoma City.
Paul Pierce and Garnett scored 23 points apiece to lead Boston, and Garnett also had 13 rebounds after missing the previous two games for personal reasons. The Celtics head into the All-Star break on their second five-game losing streak of the season, both punctuated by losses to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder took control with a mammoth 30-3 run that carried over into the second quarter, including a span of 21 consecutive points, and eventually pushed their lead to 83-56 after Daequan Cook's 3-pointer from the left corner with 7.07 left in the third quarter.
The Celtics cut their deficit in half with a 16-4 run to finish the third, with much of the damage coming after Durant picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench with just under 3 minutes remaining.
Ray Allen's jumper to start the fourth quarter got Boston within 94-82 but there was still too much room to make up.
Boston got as close as six following an 11-2 run that came during a stretch when two Oklahoma City players were called for technical fouls. Kendrick Perkins got one after fouling out, and Serge Ibaka got one soon after replacing Perkins.
The Thunder got it back together to finish it out, ending up with a 43-32 advantage on the boards — including only three offensive rebounds for Boston — and 27 fast-break points, one off their season best. The 119 points were also one shy of their most in regulation this season.
Cook and James Harden chipped in 17 points apiece for Oklahoma City. Backup power forward Nick Collison missed his second straight game with left quad contusion.
Oklahoma City missed nine of its first 10 shots and quickly fell behind 15-5, then could hardly miss for the rest of the first half. The Thunder made 18 of 23 shots during their most impressive stretch, making that early deficit nothing but an afterthought.
Allen scored 21, Mickael Pietrus 16 and Avery Bradley 12 as all five Boston starters reached double figures. The bench provided only nine points.
The Thunder put together a 30-3 surge spanning the break between the first two quarters, including the final 21 points in a row. That was one point better than the 20-0 run Oklahoma City put together against Denver three nights earlier in a game that ended up going to overtime.
By the time Harden hit a 3-pointer to end the first quarter, it was a 10-point margin in the opposite direction at 35-25 and that was only the beginning.

Emergency service personnel escort people with mock injuryies away during an exercise of a simulated terrorist attack on the London Underground network at a disused tube station in central London, Wednesday, Feb. 22. British police, fire and ambulance staff held a huge pre-Olympics security exercise centering on a mock terrorist attack on the London subway system.
Fake attacks help prepare London for summer Olympic-sized crowds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police escorted bloodied passengers to ambulances, cordoned off the street near a stricken London subway station and rushed off to find a half-exploded knapsack.
But it was all just an Olympic security drill.
Britain's police, fire and ambulance services tested their ability Wednesday to deal with a terrorist attack during the London Olympics, swooping on a disused subway station for a drill that revived painful memories of the 2005 bomb attacks on London's transit system.
The two-day test — called "Forward Defensive" — started at the Aldwych subway station, which has been closed to commuters since 1994. The London Underground maintains the station so it can be used in movies and rented for parties. Its narrow staircases, looping track, tunnel and platform make it the perfect location to simulate dealing with an emergency in close quarters.
"If there are mistakes, this is the time to make them, not when there's a real incident," said British Transport Police spokesman Simon Lubin.
For participants, the test evoked memories of the July 7, 2005, London transit attacks, when four suicide bombers killed 52 commuters on three subway trains and a bus. That attack came a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics.
ability of emergency workers, different police services, government ministers and transport officials. Official reports and an inquest had criticized the emergency services' response to the 2005 bombings.
"I think we have obviously since that event (the 2005 attack) learned a number of lessons," said Howard Collins, chief operating officer of London Underground. "A lot of investment has happened, not only in the Tube but also in those emergency services, new radio systems, new equipment. So we are going to see all those new things tested."
The security exercise involving 2,500 people simulated an attack on one of the busiest days during the 2012 London Olympics.

Just 16 days ago, the Kansas women's basketball team was ranked in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and received votes from the Associated Press. Kansas lost to defending national champion Texas A&M, but bounced back with a victory over Texas at home.
Then, five days later junior forward Carolyn Davis tore her ACL and dislocated her left knee. Kansas went on to lose at Kansas State, at Iowa State and at home to a previously conference winless Missouri.
Two weeks later, Kansas ended the three-game losing streak and reignited hope in a possible NCAA bid with a 69-64 victory over Texas Tech.
"You've got to be able to stay off the roller coaster," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
This latest stretch has been a complicated conglomeration of excited tweets and teary-eyed press conferences, but Tuesday night brought some relief for the Jayhawks. However, they know they cannot stop now.
"We wanted it," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We kind of hurt ourselves the last couple games and right now we have to want it a lot more than the other teams and we have to want it every day even in practice."
The Jayhawks have taken inspiration from Davis, who motivated the team from the sideline. Davis was the leading scorer and an All-American candidate before the injury.
"We all wanted to win for Carolyn since she can't play," sophomore guard CeCe Harper said. "We are focused on playing for her and playing for each other and getting the win."
When a team loses a player like Davis, it brings changes. The scouting changed with the loss of
height from Davis who measures at 6-foot-3 and the loss of experience she brought as an upper classman and captain.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said they are not reinventing the wheel with her gone, but she said the focus has been on changing things
to rely on their other All-American candidate Goodrich even more. Goodrich led the Jayhawks in scoring, rebounding and assists Tuesday night and set the program's single-season assist record.
But she is not alone. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland has
scored in double figures in each of the three games since the injury. Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner stepped in for Davis and CeCe Harper took over a starting position. Seven of the nine healthy players recorded more than 14 minutes.
Kansas has three more regular
season games, and needs to win two to have a solid shot at the tournament. Goodrich said the team is playing with their hearts and that is the biggest strength.
"This is the first year where I feel like we can do something special," Goodrich said. "We are a special
team and especially with everything we have been through. This team fights and that is all we want to do is stick together and show people what we have and what we can do"

From the left to the right: Sam Kovzan, sophomore from Leawood and Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Georgia, work on speeches for their communication class while Emi Pfeifer, a freshman from Hays, studies biology. Kovzan said they had been camping for about 30 minutes when several basketball players came out for a press conference.
"I think it's pretty crazy," Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. "Being from Nebraska, it's all about football. Now it's all about basketball. I was in shock when I even first heard about camping."
"I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far," I said.
Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible.
students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history.
"It was good," Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. "It's different I guess, knowing they're my age. It's kind of unique that they're as popular as they are."
Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players.

pushed junior forward Thomas Robinson around in a laundry hamper as the players delivered pizza.
"I'm looking at the gods of our school," Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Ga, said as students gathered to watch the men's basketball team walk to practice.
Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot.

Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturday's game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill.
Kansas without Missouri is like Batman without The Joker or the Hatfields without the McCoys. Would anyone really care about one without the other? Thanks to a need for attention from one side and a stubbornness from the other, we are about to find out.

I hate the winter cold, but damn. am I a sucker for snow. If it's going to be sub freezing, dreary and cloudy for
subfreezing, dreary and cloudy for days on end. I want those clouds to have a silver lining. And I want it in the shape of those completely unique, frosty crystals that grab hold so beautifully of everything they touch.
My birthday is December 15, and my favorite gift as a kid was layer of fresh powder. My friends and classmates with summer birthdays got to have pool parties, barbeques, camp-outs and trips to amusement parks. I got to choose between going to the skating rink and having a sleepover. Not that those are bad birthday parties, but after your third slee-
power, they kind of lose their appeal. The snow was something special, something that the warm glory of summer could never provide.
Snow's ability to alleviate my winter blues hasn't lessened as I've grown up. It puts a ivory sheen on the season's drab grayness, and offers relief from cabin fever when there's enough on the ground to go sledding or start a snowball fight. I'm totally one of those 'big kids' that hits the hills on campus after a fresh falling of snow. My favorite spot is the hill between Memorial Stadium and JRP Hall (but please, keep the secret under wraps if we get another good snow. I don't want my spot to get overrun).
The scarcity of snowfall this winter makes me appreciate it all the more. Check out pages eight and nine to see Chris Bronson's photo feature of the first legitimate snow on campus this winter. Snow may make for a troublesome trek to class, but the buildings look so much more beautiful and inviting covered with a soft blanket of white.

The Hookup
Dear Michelle.
I'm a single graduate student, 27 years old, with multiple long-term relationships, all ending badly. The last two have taken a toll on me; an engagement broken off and a dating relationship producing a child.
I'm now unhappily celibate. Is this the right thing to do? Should I wait for another relationship? Will I ever find a decent woman? Is it me, or do I always pick the wrong women?
I was engaged to a younger woman at the beginning of graduate school. She kind of cheated on me a bit, forged a strong but sketchy friendship with a co-worker and ended up with him shortly after our breakup. Four months following the breakup, I pursued a fellow graduate student. After a short period of being exclusive and discussing starting a family, (she is five years older and didn't want to wait) she became pregnant. Unfortunately, she left me around 20 weeks of her pregnancy, did not allow me to see my son's birth, and I am currently fighting for joint custody.
Single, Celibate, and Wanting Love
Dear SCWL.
Let me begin by saying there is no such thing as "kind of cheating." Either you look for emotional or physical fulfillment in someone other than your partner, or you don't. It sounds to me like your ex-fiance was not in the same place as you; not prepared to be your wife. If you did go forward with the marriage, I'm certain you would be divorced by now. So, you dodged that bullet.
Now, the second relationship you mentioned ended with her leaving you, denying your presence during your son's birth, and ultimately preventing you from having joint custody of your child. This relationship was entered into quickly after the dissolution of your engagement. Did you choose the wrong woman? Yes. She had the hidden agenda during your relationship to get pregnant and have a child before it was too late. You may or may not find this surprising, but women do secure "sperm donors" by dangling the love and relationship carrot.
I can confidently say you are in love with the idea of being in love. Being celibate might be an undesirable choice at this point, but it is the right choice nonetheless. I assume you have a difficult time separating sex and love. I'm sure the moment you bond sexually with a woman, and the idea of a long-term relationship with the woman is at the forefront of your mind.
What I encourage you to do is find yourself. Until you are comfortable in your own skin and settled with your work and career, you will always be looking for a woman to "complete you" (a fantasy I never endorse — Cameron Crowe should be in jail for ever writing this line). This desperation to fall in love and have someone love you back will make you susceptible to manipulation and heartbreak. Women will continue to take advantage of you, and you will oblige.
Finish your program, settle into the next phase of your life, enrich yourself with new experiences and friendships.
bond with your child and then welcome a partner into your life. Being a whole man, a strong man in his convictions and desires, will allow a complementary partner to come into your life. Take care of yourself - mind, body, and spirit.

Kovzan said they had been camping for about 30 minutes when several basketball players came out for a press conference.

"I think it's pretty crazy," Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. "Being from Nebraska, it's all about football. Now it's all about basketball. We was in shock when I even first heard about camping."
students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history.
"It was good," Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. "It's different I guess, knowing they're my age. It's kind of unique that they're as popular as they are."
Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible.
pushed junior forward Thomas Robinson around in a laundry hamper as the players delivered pizza.
Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players.
"I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far," Vipond said.
surf the Internet. Sometimes I sleep, if you have an early shift, but it's really hard on this floor."
"I'm looking at the gods of our school," Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Ga, said as students gathered to watch the men's basketball team walk to practice.
Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot.
The north concourse will continue to bustle with student activity until numbers are handed out three hours before tip-off on Saturday.
"Mizzou ones just are always fun because you see the dedication students have to come to these games," Hirschi said.
Students try to maintain sanity during hours of camping. Vipond's group pitched in together to purchase an air mattress that

Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturday's game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill.
When the game ends, win or lose, take one last mental picture of the aftermath. Because if the powerholders get their way, that memory is all your children and grandchildren may ever know of one of the greatest rivalries ever played.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD, AND WHAT
MATERIALS WILL YOU EAT NEXT?
MAKES YOU LICK IT SO MUCH! I really like pakoras, a fried potato fritter. I like them because they're fried, first and foremost. And I like them because they're potatoes; they're like Indian french fries. I like things I can't cook, because then it makes me feel like it was worth my money.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? I would be an armadillo. I think they're the closest things to dinosaurs without feathers and that's important. They're cute; they're like giant roly-polies.
IF YOU COULD DATE ANY CELEBRITY, WHO WOULD YOU DATE? I'm going to go with
I'm going to go with Idris Elba. He's wonderful, confident, dark and mysterious. He makes facial hair work, which is difficult for most people. He's British. What more do you need?

WHAT IS YOUR BEST PIECE OF LOVE ADVICE?
On Valentine's Day, even if you and your wife, girlfriend, concubine, or whatever, decide that you are not going to get each other anything, you better still get her something. This advice can be applied to all occasions when gifts are given. Also, just give up on being right about anything, ever. It doesn't do you any good. Also, do what you're told. Also, don't talk back or mutter under your breath because she will usually hear you.

E every Saturday, Michael Lebovitz can be found in his home keeping Shabbbs (also known as Shabbat), a Jewish day of rest, where no work is done in order to uphold God's seventh day of rest after creating the world. Lebovitz, a junior from Overland Park and president of the Chabad student leadership board, holds strictly to Jewish laws and observances as a way to express and practice his faith. Shabbos starts Friday night with a fun and relaxing community dinner at the Chabad house, on 19th Street and Naismith Drive. Lebovitz then goes to service Saturday morning, and the rest of the day is spent taking naps, playing cards and board games and hanging out with friends.
"I love Shabbos because it's a rest day," Lebovitz says. "We are so busy during the week. It's really nice not to have to check email and not be connected to your phone." Lebovitz and his roommate are in the minority of students who practice Shabbos fully on a weekly basis. Other students choose which Jewish holidays and rules they want to observe. "The Chabad house is really a place for religious awareness," Lebovitz says. "The main goal is to show that every Jew, no matter what kind of Jew they are, that they are still Jewish. There are things every day that everyone can do."
But what students are doing to hold their faith in college is decreasing. Twenty-five percent of Americans age 18 to 29 say they are not currently affiliated with any particular religion, according to the Pew Research forum. That is an increase from the 16 percent not affiliated in the '90s. Only 17 percent of young adults at the age of 22 attend church, according to data collected from the General Social Survey.
"We are so busy during the week. It's really nice not to have to check email and not be connected to your phone."
Michael Lebovitz
The Chabad House, the world's largest Jewish outreach organization, seeks to overcome these growing trends by encouraging students to participate in their Jewish faith on a daily basis. Rabbi Zal-
man Tiechtel, advisor for the KU Chabad House, says he finds it rewarding to work with students in developing their faith. "College students are in a place in life where they can learn things. They're in a growth pattern. Whatever they learn and grow during this time has a tremendous impact for the rest of their life," Tiechtel says.
Jacob Walters, a junior from Overland Park, Kan. has found several benefits for practicing his faith in college. Walters believes that participating in the Chabad House has opened up a new social community for him, developing stronger relationships with those who share his faith. Being part of a faith community also helps Walters establish a worldly connection saying "It brings people together in all walks of life."
Lebovitz finds that his faith not only helps develop his identity but boost his studies as well. "It taught me discipline because the unique thing about Judaism is that it permeates every part of life." Lebovitz says. "I have learned to be precise and to plan ahead for school."
There is an old Jewish saying, "He who prepares for Shabbos, eats on Shabbos." Lebovitz says the same can be applied to life: the person that prepares is the person that succeeds.
10 WAYS OF KEEPING THE FAITH IN COLLEGE
Birmingham-Southern College
Birmingham-Southern College. a private liberal arts college in Birmingham Ala., affiliated with the United Methodist Church, offers tips for helping students grow in faith during college.
1. Listen to someone else's story. It can be powerful and prophytic.
2. Pray. It is in prayer that we find the motivation and clarity to practice our faith.
3. Watch for unique opportunities and ways of practicing your faith on campus.
4. Serve. College students are among the top recorded in number of service hours.Show your faith with your actions.
5. Think.Many times religion can be reactionary rather than thoughtful. We need to have both
6. Learn to be open toward others.
7. Write journals, letters, papers or articles to witness to your faith.
9. Hope. One way of hoping is to form caring relationships with peers. The insecurity of our day is an overwhelming burden for us to bear; caring relationships are a powerful witness in our hope for the future.
8. Study your holy text. When one studies one's thought, processes take on the order and form of that which one is studying.
10. Love. Love is the root of all religion and the means of faith. Love motivates us toward others.

Q&A: Ying Yang Twins It's All About the Performance //RACHEL SCHULTZ
De'Angelo (D-Roc) Holmes is one half of hip-hop duo the Ying Yang Twins. D-Roc describes their music as realistic, honest and descriptive, and says that simply being a part of the Ying Yang Twins has been the biggest success in his life so far. While he says it's "all about the performance," when D-Roc isn't on stage he's a respectable guy at home in Atlanta with his wife and kids. D-Roc and music partner Kaine performed at the Granada on Feb. 21, but before that he sat down to chat about some of the highlights of his career.
Q: How would you describe your journey through the music industrv?
It all landed in the hands of the right person. Challenges are all the time, you go through the ups and downs. You have to grow to love it. Making sure the next record is as good as the last, that's the biggest challenge as an artist. I've enjoyed it. You get to see places you've never thought you'd see—it's a wonderful life that I don't regret taking.
Q: How is your music unique from other hip-hop artists'?
Me and my brother make real-life, party music. Our album has a lot of different mediums on it. A lot of people know us for only a part of our music and there's a lot more than that. We make "reality music"—it's more realistic because you can see the picture that we're trying to paint.
Q: What makes a performance a memorable one for you?
We actually entertain the crowd, so when the crowd responds back and they leave with the energy and tell their friends "they did a good show." And when the crowd gave you a good show too, the energy pops you up a little bit more. I like performing, period. I love going back anywhere if they want me back. It means I did something well the first, second, third or fourth time. It's all about the people there.
Q:What's your favorite song of all time?
Everything jams to me. I'm a "give everybody love" kind of person. Little of this, little of that, I listen to it all. LMFAO, Rihanna, JayZ, Kanye, Lil' Wayne. I can't say one particular song, because everybody's making good music right now. I'm feeling everyone's vibes.
Q: What is something your fans may not know about you?
I love living life. I don't live life mad at the world all the time. We can't live everybody's life—if it was that easy people wouldn't get into shit they always get into.
Q: What advice do you have for college students at this time in their lives?
Whatever you're shooting for in life, give it your all, don't just try and then give up. You never know how far you'll get until you try, so keep on going. If you fall, don't just stay there, get back up and try it again.

Behind the Scenes at the Lied Center: IT'S NEVER THE "SAME OLD THING."
(1)
Student workers at the Lied Center disable, unite and store electrical equipment from battens before the next show comes through.
// RACHEL SCHULTZ

Shouts echo throughout the 2,000-person Lied Center theater, but are not coming from the audience or performers. The Lied's blue velvet curtain lifts to an array of students and employees of the Lied Center preparing for the next few shows to come across its historic stage. But while the stage will be set to perfection from the audience's point of view come show night, it's a much more complicated production backstage, especially the weeks leading up to a show. First, the stage crew must clear everything from the stage so that a touring show's road crew can come in and prepare for a one-nightonly performance.
First the battens, metal poles hung 70 feet from the ground to suspend with lights and scenery, must be cleared of all electric equipment to make room for the touring production's set. A few friendly exchanges between the crew, and suddenly one of about 50 battens flies from the ceiling, slowing just in time to avoid crashing to the floor.
Erika Eden, assistant technical director of the Lied Center, has worked at the theater for almost eight years, but still recognizes that all of the preparation that happens behind the curtains is a novelty that sometimes even the most seasoned of stage crew take for granted. She embraces the slightly chaotic and ever-changing aspect of working in theater. She's doing
"All the events coming through are so different from the next," Eden says. "One day we were doing the Chamber Ensemble, and then next day we were doing a children's puppet show. It's a 180-degree difference. It doesn't ever feel like the same old thing."
The crew takes advantage of every set of hands on stage to help prepare for the road crews coming in. Even I'm not safe from lending a hand, as student crew worker Taryn Eby shows me how to transfer a curtain from one batten to another by pulling the two metal rods close to one another, then tediously untying a bow from one rod to retie it to the other rod and repeating that approximately 80 times for each tie. Eby was involved in her high school theater but hadn't had experience working in a place like the Lied where shows frequently tour.
"I really like that the crew feels like a family," says Eby, a pre-nursing sophomore from Topeka. "You get to meet a lot of people all over the country who have been touring all over the world. It's interesting to hear their stories."
In addition to Eden, Ann and Andy Hause, technical director and associate technical director of the Lied Center.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Lied Center opened in 1993 after Hoch Auditoria (Budig Hall) was struck by lightening and destroyed by fire in 1991.
- The first performance on the Lied Center stage was the Secret Garden
- The Lied Center is named after Ernst F. Lied, an active and honored student at KU in the 20s. He transferred to the University of Nebraska Lincoln in 1925, where another Lied Center for Performing Arts was opened in 1990.
- There's a basketball goal on the stage that holds stage crew tournaments regularly.
- In 2011, the Lied Center Pavilion opened, serving as another performance space and holding 200 people.
- The crew names almost every piece of equipment at the theater. For example, the pianos—Lucy and Ethel.
make up the family that Eby refers to. Ann does the business work with the road crews, looking over contracts and making sure the shows don't need anything the Lied Center can't provide. Andy refers to himself as the mechanic, wearing many different hats on any given day. When a show is in the Lied Center, he makes sure the crew gets all of the electricity and sound they need.
"When people come in they expect everything to fail," Andy says of show days. "If it all works and they're happy then it's a really good day for everybody."
The Lied Center employs about 50 students per year of all majors and backgrounds to help out backstage, even without previous theater experience.
In the fall, orientation is held to teach the student workers about everything that happens from set up to tear down of a show. Eden says that the variety of people makes it fun, and it's a great opportunity to fulfill the teaching aspect of the job of the university-owned theater.
"The students are the biggest tools we havewithout them wed be sunk.The gear is good, the house is good and the crew is great. It's a total win-win," Andy says.
The performers agree with his sentiment. Erin Robinson, a Lawrence senior majoring in finance, has performed at the Lied Center since she was three years old, having her dance recitals there. She performed there throughout high school and worked closely with the crew last year through Rock Chalk Revue. She praises the stage managers for having an extremely "can-do" attitude, and making the atmosphere backstage a fun, friendly one.
"Performing at the Lied Center is truly a unique and special experience," Robinson says. "It's a state-of-the-art theater with a skilled technical team. A performer could not ask for a better space."
Before the next Broadway show is set to perform, there's a piano concert scheduled over the weekend, so once the lights are taken off of the battens and curtains are transferred,the crew must move the orchestra shell back to the exact spots it was moved from in preparation for the piano concert.
"I'm always moving," Andy says. "I get to solve problems and deal with challenges as they come, sometimes they're easy fixes and sometimes we don't know what to do."

Therapy at 3 by Eligh & Amp Live
// KELSEY CIPOLLA
If 13 is a lucky number, is 26 twice as lucky? Maybe so. California-based indie rapper Eligh reached the top of KHK's Hip-Hop chart last week with "Therapy at 3," the 26th album he's released in his 18-year career.
Eligh's collaborator and fellow Californian, Amp Live, brings his own impressive and eclectic credits to the table. Live, a producer and DJ, has made beats for video games, commercials and television show title sequences. He's also produced tracks for artists like Akon, Nicole Schercenger and Radiohead.
Last year, the pair released "Therapy at 3," an experimental hip-hop album that seamlessly blends Eligh's smooth rhymes with Live's skillful beats. It's a successful experiment. If robots ever conquer

THERAPY AT 3
humans, the slowed down techno-infused rhythms of Amp Live and Eligh's calmly rapped rapid-fire verses would make the perfect soundtrack.
Eligh and Amp Live are currently touring but they aren't coming to the Midwest anytime soon, so the closest you'll get is downloading the album from iTunes or streaming it on Spotify. It's worth a listen for adventurous hip-hop fans who have tired of mainstream, radio friendly artists like Kanye West and Jay-Z but still crave fast, sharp lyrics set to booming beats.
Movie Review Safe House // LANDON MCDONALD
PARKS
Daniel Espinosa's action potboiler "Safe House" suffers from spastic camerawork, listless pacing and an overly familiar plot involving a rogue CIA operative and the file of names he's hell-bent on recovering. Yet the film still warrants a watch for three main reasons: Denzel Washington, Brendan Gleeson and Vera Farmiga. All of these actors are performers of a rarified caliber, and together they elevate David Guggenheim's cliché-spouting screenplay to the level of serviceable intrigue.
Ryan Reynolds, who first demonstrated tangible able chops in 2010's criminally under-seen "Buried," plays Matt Weston, a newbie agent in charge of minding a safe house on the fringes of Cape Town. His first "guest" in months is brought in wearing handcuffs and a bag over his head. This is Tobin Frost (Washington), a hardened ex-spy accused of selling his country's secrets to the highest bidder. After the house's complimentary waterboarding service is cut short by an onslaught of hired gunmen, Matt flees the compound with Frost in tow, with no one to contact but his squabbling Langley handlers (Gleeson and Farmiga).
What follows is little more than a perfunctory spectacle of head games, marketplace chases and rooftop shoot-outs, but Washington's evil-eyed charms make the effort mostly worthwhile. That Mr. Frost is one smooth operator, able to ascertain the blind spots and breaking points of his enemies with little more than a cocked eyebrow and a casual glance. Then he applies the necessary pressure. Watching him menace Reynolds contains all the one-sided amusement of a jungle cat stalking a field mouse, if the mouse had to deal with an unnervingly dim-witted French girlfriend practically begging to be used as psych-out leverage.
And all hail the great Brendan Gleeson, a richly nuanced and incredibly prolific supporting player who deserves far better scripts and far juicier parts. Give this man an Oscar already, or at least a retroactive one for his masterful turn as a virtuous hit man in 2008's "In Bruges." And if that title doesn't ring a bell, skip "Safe House" all together and rent "In Bruges" immediately. Now. You won't be disappointed, which is more than this new film can guarantee. FINAL RATING:

Get some culture Regional Choreography Festival
//KELSEY CIPOLLA
You don't have to know the difference between a pas-de-deux and pirouette to appreciate dance or enjoy the Regional Choreography Festival events going on this weekend.
Since it began showcasing choreography 18 years ago, the festival, held by the Lawrence Arts Center, has gained popularity and attracted more and more dancers and choreographers from the region.
"I think it's very important that regional dance has opportunities to be presented and make connections, particularly smaller companies," says Candi Baker,
dance program director at the center.
For one of the choreographers visiting Lawrence, the festival is also a homecoming. Eleanor Goudie-Averill, the festival's featured choreographer, grew up in Topeka and studied dance at the University.

"It's great to be able to come back and work with local dancers," Goudie-Averill says.
While the festival is intended to provide dance professionals with a chance to meet and learn from each other, outside audiences are invited to be a part of their learning experience. Dancers will be performing around the Lawrence Arts Center and possibly even taking to the streets for Final Fridays, tomorrow from 7 to 9 p.m.
The festival ends Saturday with a showcase of the work of guest artists in a variety of dance styles, as well as a selection of other performers chosen for their excellent work during the festival.

Many people consider the Wagon Wheel Café a Lawrence institution. The Wheel, as it's more commonly known, is a popular bar among not only students, but alumni as well. Owner Rob Farha provided these 10 facts.
2. It was sold in 1955 to Jim Large who turned it into the Wagon Wheel Cafe.
3. The Wheel got its name from the chandeliers made from real wagon wheels that are still there today.
1. The Wagon Wheel Café opened in 1906 as Rowlands College Bookstore by David and Anna Rowlands.
4. It also had wagon shaped pitchers, cream and sugar containers and menus.
5. After The Wheel was built in 1906, it's only undergone one expansion. The owner wants to keep The Wheel as much in its original form as possible.
6. The Wheel only serves cans, no bottles are allowed. Broken glass and rowdy college kids don't mix well.
7. The three murals of the conferences that KU was originally in were replaced in 1987 by the currents ones and are now on the ceiling, due to the amount of room available.
8. The Wheel has had several well-known celebrities and public figures as customers. Jason Sudeikis and the ESPN gameday crew have bee there. All either have a photo or signature on the wall.
9. A round 1982, Pyramid Pizza moved into the bottom of the building until 1999, when The Wheel Pizza Company took its place.
10. The Wheel is famous for its Wang Burger; a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on top.

From the left to the right: Sam Kovzan, sophomore from Leawood and Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Georgia, work on speeches for their communication class while Emily Pfeifer, a freshman from Hays, studies biology. Kovzan said they had been camping for about 10 minutes when several basketball players came out for a press conference.
"I think it's pretty crazy," Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. "Being from Nebraska, it's all about football. Now it's all about basketball. I was in shock when I even first heard about camping."
students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history.
Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible.
"I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far," Vipond said.
"It was good," Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. "It's different I guess, knowing they're my age. It's kind of unique that they're as popular as they are."
Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players.
pushed junior forward Thomas Robinson around in a laundry hamper as the players delivered pizza.
"I'm looking at the gods of our school," Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Ga, said as students gathered to watch the men's basketball team walk to practice.
surf the Internet. Sometimes I sleep, if you have an early shift, but it's really hard on this floor."
Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot.
Students try to maintain sanity during hours of camping. Vipond's group pitched in together to purchase an air mattress that
The north concourse will continue to bustle with student activity until numbers are handed out three hours before tip-off on Saturday.
"Mizzou ones just are always fun because you see the dedication students have to come to these games," Hirschi said.

Kansas without Missouri is like Batman without The Joker or the Hatfields without the McCoys. Would anyone really care about one without the other? Thanks to a need for attention from one side and a stubbornness from the other, we are about to find out.
Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturday's game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill.
Index
When the game ends, win or lose, take one last mental picture of the aftermath. Because if the powerholders get their way, that memory is all your children and grandchildren may ever know of one of the greatest rivalries ever played.

What it's like... experiencing poverty in Haiti AS TOLD BY LORRIN MCELROY TO JOHN GARFIELD
Lorrin McElroy, Lawrence High graduate, has been going to Haiti for years now to help out at an orphanage. During her trip to Haiti this year, she took a trip out to the countryside, which was a different experience altogether.
It was a hot February day riding through the Haitian desert on the back of a flatbed truck. The two drilled-in benches held the 20 Kansans in my group on our way to provide $400 worth of rice, beans and grain to a small village — enough to feed 185 families.
I was excited but apprehensive from the culture shock, a feeling not calmed by the fact that even our native driver Ti-Ti was getting lost on the unmarked desert roads.
Kids emerged from the stick-and-concrete huts, chasing our truck as we approached. Many of them were naked and many had never seen a white person.
When we pulled into town, the locals gathered in the church to be briefed on what would happen. We were told to wait outside during this, and in this time I was confronted with stark poverty.
One woman invited me into her home, which was empty except for a curtain, two chairs and a mattress supporting a man who had been crippled since the 2010 earthquakes.
I raced back to the truck for the handout to begin. Though the raw need was unsettling, the interaction was so frantic that I could not focus on anything but the task itself. The truck was parked alongside the church to provide a clear channel for the line, but it was more of a free-for-all, with most of them re-entering the line to take advantage of the rare opportunity.
I distinctly remember a moment of overbearing irony, seeing a girl in a donated shirt reading "end world hunger" in a language she could not read.
The handout was over as soon as it began, and we did not wait around when it had finished. The villagers were grateful, seeing us off with cries of "merci" on what would be a pensive ride back to our 10-foot walls and armed guards.
TOMORROW IS THE CLOSEST THING

Lawrence
Alex Dakas was the first person in her family to go out of state for school. When she told her family she wanted to go to the University of Kansas, they didn't believe her and thought she would eventually change her mind. But after visiting the University of Illinois, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Cincinnati, she thought they were nothing compared to KU.
The percentage of out of state students attending KU varies between 20 and 30 percent each year. Elisa Krapcha, assistant director of freshman recruitment for the KU Office of Admissions, says when students from other states come to Kansas for the first time, they expect to see the stereotypical Kansas setting of flat land, wheat fields and lots of cows. When they get to Lawrence, they are often surprised by how unique the town and campus is.
When Dakas, a sophomore from Chicago, drove to Lawrence for her first campus visit, she looked out her car window and could see the red roofs of the buildings on campus from the highway. Dakas can still recall how excited she was when she saw the red roofs. "I think that is an icon of the campus, and that's something that has really stuck in my mind," she says.
Dakas saw more red when she got to the campus. It was fall, and the leaves on the trees scattered across campus were starting to change. The trees and hills across campus were different than the cliché flat Midwest scenery she was used to seeing back home in Illinois. The beauty drew her in.
Dakas is an architecture major and says the architecture program also helped her make her decision. The program at KU is different than any of the other schools she looked at. It's a five-year program, which appealed to her because she is able to get her master's degree.
Amanda Kilwin, a senior graphic design major from St. Louis, had quite the opposite of Dakas' experience when she came to visit the University. The day she visited was cold and rainy. She drove all the way from St. Louis to find out her name somehow wasn't on the list for Senior Day. The staff was able to add her in and it all worked out. Despite the rough start to her first visit. KU felt right.
Kilwin says she always found something wrong with the other schools
she visited. She noticed all of the main buildings were on Jayhawk Boulevard, with a 10 to 15 minutes walking distance from each other. The other schools were scattered or had the art schools located on different campuses.
Kilwin says the Art and Design Building was a main factor in her decision to come to KU. When she applied she was told that everything she would be doing for her major would be in the same building with the same people all four years.
"I had never thought I would go to a big school because grade school through high school my classes were really tiny. I didn't want to get lost in the crowd at a big school," she says. Being in a small program with a smaller group of students gave her a sense of comfort.
Jackson Sump, a freshman from Washington, D.C., and one other person from his graduating class are the first people from his high school to go to KU. Sump says East Coast people think Kansas is full of farm hicks and see it as fly—over land. He was sick of what he calls a "dog eat dog world" at his home on the East Coast where he says people do whatever it takes to get ahead. He decided it was time
to leave the East Coast and experience a different part of the country.
Sump's dad went to KU so when they were visiting Kansas City, Mo., they decided to venture to Lawrence. His dad gave him an in depth tour and showed him all of his favorite places and told him the memories that went along with them. Sump noticed right away that the people in Lawrence were different than the people back home because they actually enjoy each other's time and seem to be here to build friendships.
During Sump's visit, the school spirit really caught his attention. Everywhere he looked on campus there was someone wearing something with a Jayhawk or KU colors. He didn't see this kind of school spirit and passion at any of the other schools he visited back East. Sump wanted to go somewhere with lots of school pride, lots of traditions and people who love being where they're at. "There's always a sign of happiness here and that caught me off guard because I've seen people at other great school seem unhappy and have no traditions," he says.

Kovzan said they had been camping for about 30 minutes when several basketball players came out for a press conference.
"I think it's pretty crazy," Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. "Being from Nebraska, it's all about football. Now it's all about basketball. W was in shock when I even first heard about camping."
students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history.
Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible.
Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players.
"It was good," Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. "It's different I guess, knowing they're my age. It's kind of unique that they're as popular as they are."
"I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far," Vipond said.
"I'm looking at the gods of our school," Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Ga, said as students gathered to watch the men's basketball team walk to practice.

Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot.
The north concourse will continue to bustle with student activity until numbers are handed out three hours before tip-off on Saturday.

Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturday's game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill.
Kansas without Missouri is like Batman without The Joker or the Hatfields without the McCoys. Would anyone really care about one without the other? Thanks to a need for attention from one side and a stubbornness from the other, we are about to find out.
When the game ends, win or lose, take one last mental picture of the aftermath. Because if the powerholders get their way, that memory is all your children and grandchildren may ever know of one of the greatest rivalries ever played.

Learning to Cook //SARA SNEATH
I know how to work a microwave, fry an egg and even cook chicken well enough that it won't kill you, but I'd really like to learn how to cook a meal I can share with friends. That's why I attended a cooking class at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.
The Community Mercantile, better known as The Merc, holds about four cooking classes each week. Nancy O'Connor, the director of education and outreach at the Merc, says the classes are all taught by professional chefs. Nancy Stark taught the vegetarian, Mexican themed night I attended.
Stark, a Kansas City trained chef who has taught at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, says she enjoys the Merc crowd because they are more engaged than other audiences she teaches in Kansas City. Stark says a lot of times people come to her cooking class for entertainment, but the Lawrence crowd comes to learn.
The doors to the Merc classroom opened 20 minutes before the class began promptly at 7 p.m. The classroom is a dinner type setting; there are four, large rectangular tables with 21 place settings. Imagine a live audience for a cooking show, subtract the studio lights and add quaint little candles and the scent of
cooked tomatoes.
Ellen Raimond, a graduate student from Naperville, Ill., says she and her friends began attending the classes as part of a New Years resolution. She says she has made a cinnamon roll ring she learned how to bake in the last class she attended, which was dessert themed.
Raimond says the $18 course fee is worth it to her. Not only is she taught by a professional chef, she also gets to eat a full meal cooked by one. Don't come full, Raimond says.
The vegetarian tamales we learned to cook the night I attended required using a steamer and patience, neither of which I have. However, Stark, the chef, also taught us how to make chocolate pudding tarts. I'll be using the homemade pudding recipe in the future, with or without the tart.

Wear This... Cardigan Sweater //LIZZIE MARX
Whether your personal style is purely preppy or eccentric chic, there is no better way to add a pop of color to your wardrobe than with a cardigan sweater. Spring is right around the corner, so it's time to start the transformation from your winter wears to the newest spring fashion trends, one of them being the cardigan.
Urban Outfitters has challenged the classic cardigan, bringing it to a whole new level. Say goodbye to the stuffy, 'looks like it just came from your grandmother's closet' cardigan and hello to the newly updated, slightly longer, yet still classic sweater. With its lightweight cotton material, this hassle-free cardigan pairs perfectly with jeans and a t-shirt for day but can easily transition to nighttime over your favorite dress. Available in an array of bright colors at Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., this is just what you need to make it through what is left of the winter blues.
My personal favorite color for this sweater is the citron yellow. When paired with contrasting turquoise jewelry, the vibrant colors will give your skin the appearance of a sun-

// ALEX TRETBAR
25 YEARS
Alex Tretbar spent a fast-paced week in Austin with Becky Sullivanfor the South by Southwest festival last year, and learned an unexpected lesson along the way.
Texas holds a magical place in my memory. I experienced my first profound adult revelation in Austin a year ago, during the South by Southwest music festival.
It all started when KJHK footed the bil for gasoline, food and a music badge, with the stipulation that I came back with a large chunk of interviews and live recordings. You can certainly enjoy yourself without a badge, but roaming freely from show to show is much easier with one lines are shorter, venues let you in for free, and you have a much larger pool of events to choose from.
The festival was a week before spring break, so I was lucky enough to have the station excuse me from class for the last four school days before the weekend. I looked forward to an exciting vacation that would transition seamlessly into spring break proper — I didn't know that I faced a brisk learning experience in downtown Austin.
I was joined by Becky Sullivan (KJHK's station manager at the time) and Amanda Sorrell, a DJ and former Live Events director. We drove straight down from Lawrence in Becky's clean and comfortable Honda. I drove roughly half the way, having to quickly learn stick-shift on I-35 South (little margin for error). It was a stop-start nightmare each time we had to get on or off the highway.
Luckily we jammed The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society at least three or four times in a row, there and back the record always brings me back to that wonderful week; the sights and smells, the gusts of fresh Texas wind whipping through the car windows.
We arrived and dropped our things off at a friend of Becky's house and hit the town. It's impossible to even come close to seeing every show at SXSW — it's essentially a festival with no boundaries and no set agenda. While there is an official listing of SXSW showcases and events, many venues, houses, restaurants and bars throw their own unofficial shows. There was even a band playing in the window at a Pita Pit downtown.
Throughout the week I saw performances by The Dodos, Deerhunter, Joan of Arc, Sean Lennon, Yoko Ono, Tapes n Tapes, Thee Oh Seees, James Blake, Ty Segall, Kurt Vile, The Black Angels, Sun Araw, Tune-Yards, Small Black and The Fresh and Onlys, among many others. I scored interviews with as many of them as possible, often having to misrepresent myself or simply sneak around to get where the artists were.
One particularly rewarding afternoon was spent at Club Deville, an outdoor venue (not unlike a bigger Replay Lounge) in downtown Austin. The show offered free tallbools of Red Stripe, Guinness and Jeremiah Weed lemonade. Deerhunter, Ty Segall, Kurt Vile, Glasser and Small Black were slated to play, and it was to last roughly from noon to 7 p.m. It was a loud, drunken mess by the time 5 p.m. rolled around, but I was running back and forth from the stage to the VIP area, recording live audio and taping interviews.
I waited for reporters from publications like MTV-U, Pitchfork and Spin to get what they needed before quickly tapping the artists' shoulders for a brief chat. Some of them mentioned how much more relaxed they were with me than with the fast-paced, high-pressure interviewers from bigger websites and magazines. My ego was giddy.
I dropped by a fancy sushi joint downtown - tipsy, sweaty and exhausted - and had an expensive Japanese beer (alcohol
was one of the few things I actually had to pay for myself) and some fresh sushi. One of the chefs at the bar dared me to eat the entire macaroni and cheese appetizer myself. I was still starving so I accepted. It was the best mac and cheese I've ever had - a Vermont white cheddar concoction - but I found myself bloated and waddling around aimlessly downtown 30 minutes later.
On one of my last days in town I waited at a bus stop around noon, a little hung-over with my hair still wet, hoping to catch a ride to make it to whatever show I had planned for the afternoon. Though I wasn't feeling great physically, I was at the peak of my self-satisfaction and success for the week.
A man limped up to me and asked where I was from and what I was doing in Austin. I explained, and he told me he was a musician, but he had significant loss of brain function from a car accident playing and writing was nearly impossible for him now. He had difficulty speaking, and showed me a dent in his chest from the wreck. He introduced himself as John, and we boarded the bus together as it finally approached the stop.
Ai first I was embarrassed. We were the only two talking and he was loud and hard to understand.I had to constantly ask him to repeat himself,and vice-versa My embarrassment soon turned to shame for being so selfish. This man was truly down on his luck, and I was sitting here worrying about what these strangers might be thinking.
I let go and engaged him in conversation. He was on his way to see his therapist and was getting off at the next stop. He insisted on giving me his phone number to play music sometime. He thanked me profusely for talking with him, and then everything seemed to slow down as he leaned in to hug me, and whispered, "Love is everything. I wish you the best." It was the most heartfelt talk I'd had with a musician all week.
John limped off the bus, and as I rolled away I watched him make his way slowly down the sidewalk. I was stunned that such a minor act of patience and tolerance had made this man so happy, and I remembered to cherish each moment in life — it can all be taken away in a heartbeat. It was the simplest of realizations, and its occurrence in the midst of SXSW was like accidentally stumbling upon the quiet center of a hurricane.

Jayhawks, Tigers prepare for possible last game
HEY 5 INZDOU 10
KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
There wasn't a shortage of type leading up to the first meeting between Kansas and Missouri on Feb. 4 in Columbia. But unlike many heavily publicized games these days, the first installment of the Border Showdown lived up to its buildup, with the Tigers pulling away with a 74-71 victory.
Now with the Big 12 regular season championship on the line Saturday afternoon, the hype is back. The Allen Fieldhouse concourse looks more like an emergency shelter with the blankets and mattresses of eager campers strewn across the floor since Sunday morning's lottery.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"The Baylor game this year was pretty good," coach Bill Self said. "There have been so many that have been good, but I think this one, with our fans, will have a different feel."
Junior guard Travis Releford said his team gave the first game away and thinks the key for a different outcome this time around is execution and defense, two things that weren't present in the final two minutes of play in Missouri Arena.
Junior center Jeff Withey tips off against Missouri's senior forward Ricardo Ratliffe during the Saturday night's last match-up between the two teams at Missouri's home court. Kansas plays Missouri this Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
"We're playing for a Big 12 title, and this is a big game for us." Releford said. "The rivalry, the title and they beat us at their place. There are a lot of factors to it."
The Jayhawks will have history on their side, as the Tigers haven't won in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1998-1999 season. The last time they faced off as top-5 opponents in Allen Fieldhouse, however, No. 2 Missouri upset
No. 1 Kansas 77-71 on Feb.
13, 1990.
Fast forward 22 seasons, and Bill Self is looking for any edge possible to avenge the loss to the Tigers. He'll have help from Kansas State, who recently completed a season sweep of Missouri. Self said looking at the film of those two games is on his to-do list.
Self applauded Kansas State's ability to consistently get the ball inside and stay aggressive throughout the games against Missouri, something his team wasn't able to do in Columbia. Junior center Jeff Withey attempted just one shot and was held scoreless against the Tigers while having trouble against the smaller lineup, playing for just 22 minutes.
"I think there are a lot of keys to Jeff staying on the floor," Self said. "One is that he needs to be more aggressive and be more of a presence."
Withe echoed those sentiments and said his confidence has "grown a tremendous amount" since then.
Which team makes the better adjustments before Saturday's 3 .p.m. tipoff remains to be seen, but some things are certain.
"I think it be will the best that I've seen it in my four years here," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of the atmosphere, according to kuathletics.com. "It's going to be crazy, but I'm excited and I'm ready for it."

Before even the gods wake up, students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history.
"I think it's pretty crazy," Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. "Being from Nebraska, it's all about football. Now it's all about basketball. I was in shock when I first heard about camping."
"It was good," Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. "It's different I guess, knowing they're my age. It's kind of unique that they're as popular as they are."
Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible.
"I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far," Vipond said.
Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot.
Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players.
ketball teams are known to come around and deliver pizza to the hungry campers some nights. One night, junior forward Kevin Young pushed junior forward Thomas Robinson around in a laundry hamper as the players delivered pizza.
"I try to attempt doing homework, but it doesn't really work." Vipond said. "So, basically just surf the Internet. Sometimes I sleep, if you have an early shift, but it's really hard on this floor."

COMMENTARY Cold War rivalry is soulless

Kansas without Missouri is like Batman without The Joker or the Hatfields without the McCoys. Would anyone really care about one without the other? Thanks to a need for attention from one side and a stubbornness from the other, we are about to find out.
If you're one of the more than 15,000 fans blessed enough to be at the season finale of the Border Showdown tomorrow, do yourself a favor: take a brief timeout from screaming at the top of your lungs to soak in the atmosphere.
Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturday's game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill.
Hatred is what will make Saturday's environment breathtaking. While the hate will not subside when Missouri splits for the Southeastern Conference, both teams will lose an opportunity to display it on a national stage. And like it or not, hating Missouri is one of the main components of Kansas' identity. Likewise, hating Kansas is a critical part of Missouri's makeup.
Keep those memories some- where you will remember forever, because if a group of powerful men in suits and women in pantsuits get their way, it will be the last time it ever happens.
Take a mental picture of the raucous student section jumping up and down. Appreciate the historic arena as it sways back and forth from the jet-like decibel level. Embrace the unconditional love for the Jayhawks and the unabashed hatred of the Tigers.
When the game ends, win or lose, take one last mental picture of the aftermath. Because if the powerholders get their way, that memory is all your children and grandchildren may ever know of one of the greatest rivalries ever played.
Through both schools' actions, a Border Cold War is almost guaranteed. And by abandoning a rivalry that dates back to the Civil War, both schools are participating in a mutually assured destruction of their legacies.
Kansas vs. Missouri is one of the most impassioned rivalries of all time, ranking up there with Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier, Pepsi vs. Coke and Quin Snyder vs. ethics. But the Border War is on the cusp of becoming the Border Cold War, where battles will not take place on football fields and basketball courts but rather on talk-radio shows and message boards. Bragging rights will be nonexistent when the head-to-head battles cease, leaving fans to toss grenades across the states' border in the form of tacky YouTube videos.

Budget plans vary vastly among Republican presidential hopefuls
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Massive tax cuts proposed by GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would cause the national debt to explode while Mitt Romney's budget plan could generate red ink in line with current projections, according to a new study released Thursday.
The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a Washington-based budget watchdog group, estimates that the wrenching budget cuts proposed by Ron Paul would lessen the flow of red ink compared with current policies but still leave the government running a sizable deficit.
The candidates' budget plans provide a sharp contrast with President Barack Obama, who released his latest fiscal blueprint just last week. Like Obama, the GOP candidates have the luxury of suspending political reality and assuming lawmakers would quickly enact their ideas into law.
That translates into a tax code in which taxes on investments and capital gains are sharply reduced or eliminated. Each candidate would eliminate inheritance taxes on large estates. And tax rates on individuals would be cut as well — all in the face of deficits that economists say would eventually cripple the economy.
The results, according to the
study, would be higher deficits, except in the case of Paul, whose spending cuts dwarf anything being considered by his three rivals.
According to the study, Gingrich's plan would add $7 trillion to the nation's debt over the coming nine years — almost doubling the deficits that would be recorded if the government basically ran on autopilot. Santorum's plan would add $4.5 trillion over the period, or about $500 billion to the deficit every year on average.
By contrast, Romney's proposal would add $250 billion to the deficit over nine years, though that estimate was generated before he unveiled a new tax reform plan this
And Paul, whose budget plans include eliminating five Cabinet departments, immediately ending operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and sharply cutting federal programs like Medicaid and food stamps, would reduce the deficit by $2.2 trillion. He is the only candidate whose spending cuts exceed the amount of revenue lost by cutting taxes.
Last week, Obama proposed tax increases of almost $2 trillion over the coming decade.

Islamist sect attacks, destroys checkpoint in Nigerian city
KANO, Nigeria — Multiple explosions rocked a highway checkpoint in Nigeria's second-largest city, witnesses said Wednesday, just over a month after a radical Islamist sect claimed an attack there that left at least 185 people dead.
After that, he said, he heard gun
The attacks raise fears that the sect, Boko Haram, is taking root in the northern city of Kano.
Resident Ali Garba, a 32-year-old bus driver, said he heard at least six explosions as he was preparing to head to the mosque for dawn prayers in a densely populated Kano neighborhood.
fire for about two hours. By the time he left his house, the military had cordoned his neighborhood to prepare for searches, forcing him back into his home.
There were no casualties and four suspects were arrested during searches, said military spokesman Lt. Kedichi Iweha, who declined to comment further.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, is carrying out increasingly sophisticated
and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law and avenge Muslim killings in Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people.
Meanwhile Wednesday, authorities in the northeast Nigeria's Yobe state blamed the sect for the shooting death of one man and the wounding of another.
The attack occurred during curfew hours, he said, likely reducing its impact.
This year, the feared sect is blamed for killing at least 304 people, according to an Associated Press count. At least 185 people died in Kano last month in the group's deadliest assault yet.

Avalanches kill, trap soldiers at a Kashmir military camp
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SRINAGAR, India — Two massive avalanches in snowbound regions of Indian-controlled Kashmir killed at least 16 soldiers, and at least three others were feared trapped in a military camp that was partially buried under snow, an official said Thursday.
Col. K.S. Grewal said three of the soldiers were killed in the mountainous area of Sonmarg and 13 were killed at a large army camp in Dawar, a town close to the heavily militarized cease-fire line that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Hundreds of thousands of Indian troops are stationed along this de-facto border.
Both avalanches took place late
Wednesday night, and state officials warned more may occur in mountain areas.
Rescue workers in Dawar pulled out 13 survivors who were being treated at a local army hospital, Grewal said. Three soldiers there were still believed to be trapped under the snow, he said.
Ali warned of more avalanches across mountainous parts of Indian Kashmir.
Army rescue teams from other parts of the region were trying to reach the Dawar army camp but were delayed by heavy fog, snow and cloud cover. Grewal said.
At least 25 army vehicles and 17 barracks were damaged in the avalanche, said Amir Ali, a state government disaster management official.

Poland wants US to return Holocaust barrack display
WARSAW, Poland — Polish and U.S. officials are engaged in intense talks to determine the fate of a sensitive object: a barrack that once housed doomed prisoners at the Nazis' Auschwitz death camp and is now on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
because it is too fragile.
Poland is demanding the return of the artifact, which has been on loan to the Washington museum for more than 20 years and is an important object in its permanent exhibition. But the U.S. museum is resisting the demand, saying the valuable object shouldn't be moved partly
"Due to the barrack's size and the complexity of its installation, removing and transporting it to Poland presents special difficulties, including potentially damaging the artifact," the U.S. Holocaust museum said in a statement.
Under a law passed in 2003 that safeguards cultural heritage in wars, any historic object on loan abroad must return to Poland every five years for inspection. While Poland appears open to renewing the loan, it says the barracks must return — at least temporarily.
The director of the
Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, Piotr Cywinski, accuses the U.S. institution of violating the terms of a 20-year loan on the barracks, saying the loan expired in 2009.
"We have indicated many times that this half of the barracks must return, that there is no other solution in accordance with the law." Cywinski said. "It's a very important object, not just for Washington but for the integrity of Birkenau, the last authentic site of Holocaust remembrance among all the major death camps."

Bob McDonnell and GOP state lawmakers Wednesday abandoned a bill requiring women to undergo an intrusive type of sonogram before an abortion — an abrupt reversal that demonstrated the power of political satire and illustrated again how combustible the issue of women's reproductive health has become over the past few weeks.
"You never want to get on the wrong side of popular culture," said Steve Jarding, a professor at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and a Democratic consultant who has run campaigns in Virginia. He added: "When people are laughing at you, you know you've gone too far."
At issue was a bill pushed by antiabortion lawmakers that would have required women seeking an abortion to undergo a transvaginal sonogram, in which a wand is inserted in the vagina to yield an image of the fetus. The procedure differs from an abdominal sonogram, in which a wand is rubbed over the woman's belly.
Seven states have laws mandating some form of pre-abortion ultrasound exam. The Guttmacher Institute, which researches abortion-related issues, said none of the ultrasound laws in other states explicitly require the transvaginal procedure.
macher's state issues manager, said several of the laws, including a Texas measure recently upheld in federal court, effectively leave doctors with no option but the transvaginal procedure. That's because an abdominal sonogram does not produce the detailed image of a first-trimester pregnancy that is required by some of the laws, Nash said.

Man arrested for making a burger
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Police say a Wisconsin man took the Denny's restaurant chain slogan "American's diner is always open" too far, marching into one of the restaurants, announcing he was the new boss and cooking himself dinner.
James Summers walked into a Madison Denny's on Tuesday dressed in a maroon tie and black trench coat and carrying a briefcase, according to police. He strode into the manager's office, told her he was the new general manager and then fixed himself a burger, fries and a soda before police arrived.
"This is why you don't dine and dash, kiddies," Summers yelled out to diners as officers took him away, police said in a release.
Police found a stun gun in a hip holster under his coat and crack pipes in his briefcase, a criminal complaint showed. Prosecutors charged him Wednesday with disorderly conduct and possession of
Brant challenged him, saying corporate headquarters hadn't notified her of any new general manager. She suggested he had the wrong restaurant.
She was able to get Summers out of the office and close her door. She called a hiring manager who confirmed Summers didn't work for Denny's.
But Summers maintained his story, growing more confrontational after Brant told him she didn't believe him. He told her he was starting and that was final, investigators said in the complaint.

Stern is making the cross-country commute so he can record both the auditions and his Sirius XM satellite show in New York. He was back on the air on Tuesday raving about how much he loves his new gig. Once the audition process is over, the show itself will tape in New York City, to accommodate Stern's schedule.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Howard Stern came to Los Angeles last Friday to begin his tenure as "America's Got Talent"'s newest judge. And, by his own admission, this may not be the Howard Stern most people expected to see.
"There were times when I was downright compassionate," Stern told KNBC-TV outside the season's first auditions, held at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A.
to be the guy that always hits the buzzer' I have no preconceived notion, and I've got news for you: If you go in there and watch this taping, it is insane."
That's not to say Stern has gone all warm and Randy Jackson-ish on us. He's still got some bite. As he explained, "It's a little weird, the first day out, I buzzed a 9-year-old kid. The kid was adorable, but I did it, man, you've got to do it. I said, 'Look, you're cute, you're adorable, but, goodness gracious, you don't belong on "America's Got Talent," and you just feel like the devil himself."
Stern told his radio audience that "America's Got Talent" has auditions in San Francisco this weekend and a New York audition on Feb. 27.
The Parents Television Council has raised objections to Stern's addition to the program and stories like that are no doubt giving them fits.

British musicians will end summer Olympics
LONDON — The closing ceremony for 2012 London Olympics will be themed "A Symphony of British Music" with organizers promising a hit-packed journey from classical composer Edward Elgar to Grammy soul diva Adele.
"It is, in a sense, the soundtrack of our lives," said Stephen Daldry, executive producer of the Olympic and Paralympic opening and closing ceremonies.
The ceremony's artistic director, Kim Gavin, said the Aug. 12 show would be an "elegant mashup of British music" packed with recognizable songs arranged symphonically.
"We go from — without saying we've booked anyone — Elgar to Adele," said music director David Arnold.
Gavin, who has overseen tours for the band Take That and directed the 2007 Princess Diana memorial concert, said the London Olympics closing ceremony would be "the biggest after-show party — the show being the sport."
The creative team is keeping the names of the musicians involved under wraps, although The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and the Spice Girls have all been suggested as possible performers.

Stars oppose union merger
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Ed Asner and Valerie Harper are teaming up on a new project: an attempt to take down the proposed merger of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
Asner and Harper, who starred in the 1970s "Mary Tyler Moore" series, have joined other high profile actors including Ed Harris and Martin Sheen in filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court Wednesday seeking an injunction to stop SAG from calling for a vote on the proposed merger with AFTRA.
The suit alleges that the SAG board breached its fiduciary duties to conduct an actuarial impact study detailing the effects of the proposed merger
on health and pension benefits of SAG members. SAG's board overwhelmingly approved a plan to merge with the smaller actors union, arguing that doing so would give them more leverage in negotiations with the studios and end years of turf wars between the two labor groups.
A minority of board members, among them Asner and Harris, have maintained that the proposed combination would weaken health and pension benefits for SAG's 125,000 members, about 40,000 of whom also belong to AFTRA.
"We have spent almost two months negotiating with SAG in an effort to get them to present the truth regarding this merger plan," Los Angeles attorney David Casselman said in a statement.
In a statement, SAG said the lawsuit was without merit. "Any suggestion that the members have not been fully and fairly informed is preposterous," SAG said. "We have scheduled more than 50 informational meetings across the country, have posted all of the merger documents on the website for over 4 weeks, and we have afforded the merger opponents the right to send an opposition statement at the unions' expense as part of the referendum package ... This filing is simply a public relations stunt that follows a clear pattern by some of the plaintiffs of filling unsuccessful lawsuits against their own union. We do not believe that the members will be fooled."

Crystal makes perfect Oscar host
You must be absolutely fearless, smart, facile, topical, extremely funny, a good singer, decent dancer and possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the movie history, business and stars. You must be reverent of the institution and the 3,400 powerful, anxious, highly neurotic people sitting in front of you, but not a toady either. Irreverence is essential — just not Gervais-an irreverence.
Being a star of a hit movie doesn't hurt, but — failing that — being one of the biggest comics in the world will suffice.
NEW YORK — So, you want to host the Oscars? Fine. Here are the requirements:
Finally, pay particularly close attention to the person who will step onto the proscenium at the
Meanwhile, when he first appears Sunday night, cast a quick glance at his tux pocket. If history is a guide, there will be a toothbrush in that pocket — the same one a little boy back in the early '50s held up in front of his black-and-white TV set in the family living room at 549 E. Park Ave in Long Beach, N.Y. He pretended to award this "Oscar" to some gorgeous, glamorous, untouchable god or goddess on the screen. It's a reminder of who he is, and how far he's come.
Hollywood and Highland Center Sunday night. He is your template. Billy Crystal was all this and much more during most of the 1990s, when he commanded that stage with as much grace and skill as anyone in Oscar history.
So let that be the last piece of advice. Be sure to bring your
toothbrush. Humility and an abiding respect for the past — particularly your own — aren't such bad qualities either.
Of course, there really is only one living person on the planet with these qualities. After Bob Hope — 18 hosting gigs — Crystal is the most successful Oscar host in history, with a total of eight outings between 1990 and 2004. To say he is a beloved part of this institution flirts with understatement. While the Oscars have mostly flailed in the hosting department over this past decade, his stature seems to have grown — as evidenced by the standing ovation he received during the four-minute tribute to Hope at last year's 83rd Academy Awards ceremony.

Sometimes it seems like the worst offense in the dating universe someone could commit is leaving a significant other over lousy or non-existent sex.

In the end, I didn't split with him only because of sex, but I'll be honest to admit that it made my decision a lot easier. I wasn't satisfied and probably wouldn't ever be, and that's a real reason to end something that already isn't working otherwise.
I took him home the next morning. I was so disappointed in him. I gave myself a few days to blow off some steam then told him I wasn't interested anymore and exactly why.
with what's happening (or not happening) in the bedroom, we need to communicate with our partners about how to make it a better experience. Breaking up over this issue is only fair when we take the initiative to try to fix it first.
I didn't want to settle for a subpar lover, and no one else should either.
We're civilized now (at least mostly), but it's still important to listen to our id.
Whether we want to deny it or not, sex is important in every relationship.
This is an issue we have to be realistic about. If our partners don't want to have sex for a certain time, we should compromise and respect that. But a compromise shouldn't be a settlement. We have to decide which is more important: respecting our partners' desires or satisfying our own. Sometimes, in order to be truly happy we need to be a little selfish.
So for our relationships to be healthy, we need to tap into our most basic instincts and finally give them the legitimacy they deserve because after all, you and me, baby, ain't nothin' but mammals.

HEALTH
Protein consumption in US is excessivse
Protein is an essential part of any diet. However, according to a 2008 Center for Disease Control (CDC) survey, the average American eats more than double the amount of protein the body actually requires. This is due to the "Great Protein Myth" we have been taught to believe.
This myth's narrative more or less states that large amounts of protein are needed to be strong and healthy and to build muscles, and in America, protein is heavily associated with meat, especially red meat. A meal is made to seem incomplete without an overwhelmingly large portion of meat on the plate; even just one meal of a cheeseburger and milk shake can contain up to three times your daily protein needs.
By Gabby Pred
gpred@kansan.com
This overconsumption of protein especially from animal-based sources can have dire consequences on your health, leading to problems like obesity
and heart disease. This problem is further exacerbated by the low-quality processed meats most readily available and affordable to most people.
The truth is this: The CDC says the average adult female needs 46 grams of protein a day, and the average adult male needs only 56 grams of protein a day. And there are plenty of healthy plant-based sources of it out there to suit vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets.

PORTLANDIA
"Put a bird on it"
ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN BENEDICH
The dream of the '90s is alive in 'Portlandia'
"Portlandia" is a show currently airing on the International Film Channel, starring and created by Saturday Night Live veteran Fred Armisen and '90s alternative rocker Carrie Brownstein. The show uses the same sketchcomedy format as SNL, and has a recurring, but not overarching plot. It is constantly making fun of stereotypes of Portland's counter-culture.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
In the opening skit of season one, Armisen comes back to L.A. to explain to Brownstein how amazing his trip to Portland was. He ends up using an impromptu music video to show Carrie that Portland is a wonderful place that seems to be stuck in the '90s. The opening skit gives the viewer insight on how this whole show is going to work. They are telling everyone that they are going to make fun of the hipster culture of Portland but love it at the same time.
I used to make fun of hipster stereotypes as much as the next guy, but the truth is, I'm a hipster. I honestly believe anyone who analyzes culture has to be somewhat of a hipster, and that's what I'm currently doing with this column. It took me a while to finally understand this or even accept it, but with the help of "Portlandia," I think I'll be just fine.
Although the show covers many different types of hipster stereotypes, they also make fun
of bleeding heart liberals, hard core punk culture, feminists, Portland's liberal mayor, and anything else you can think of that can be considered somewhat counter-culture.
Of course, "Portlandia" doesn't believe these stereotypes are bad; it's just easy to make fun of them by making them extremes. They make fun of Portland's liberalism by making the mayor a stereotype for liberals. When Armisen and Brownstein walk into his office, he doesn't have a chair for his desk; instead he uses a yoga ball.
The use of extremes makes the show funny, but at the same time it makes it obviously ridiculous. In one of the recurring skits, Armisen and Brownstein play two women that own a bookstore, and happen to be extreme feminists. They also don't seem to be able to sell any books because they are the most difficult people on the planet. They deliberately go out of their way to not help any customers. This is, of course, not true about
feminists. The extremeness of the show allows it to make fun of many different stereotypes without making a political statement.
The reason I love "Portlandia"—other than that it makes me laugh out loud—is that it's hipsters making fun of hipsters. The making fun of stereotypes is more of a "look at the ridiculous things we do" instead of a "look at the ridiculous things all hipsters do." Armisen and Brownstein seem to be fully aware of their hipsterdom, and this has allowed me to realize the same about myself.
There have been several times that I've watched "Portlandia" and noticed that the certain trait of hipster-dom they were making fun of was something I regularly do. There are many things that "Portlandia" has made fun of, and it's like I'm looking in the mirror realizing who I really am. I'm apart of the counter-culture, much like a lot of college students. I've been apart of the hardcore punk scene that is so often made fun of. I've been condescending to someone who hasn't heard of the newest hip band.
Thanks to "Portlandia." I finally know: I am a hipster, and I belong in Portland.

Stephan Ilardi, associate professor of psychology, discusses depression at Douglas County Senior Services Thursday evening. Ilardi has researched a treatment for depression that emphasizes diet, exercise, exposure to sunlight, and human relationships.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Nearly a quarter of 18-to-29-year-olds will suffer from depression in their lives, more than any previous generation, said Stephen flardi, associate professor of psychology, at a lecture presented at Douglas County Senior Services Thursday evening. Ilardi pointed to the stresses of modern society as driving this spike in depression.
"We as a species were never designed for the sedentary, socially isolated, indoor, sleep deprived, fast food, frenzied pace of modern life of the 21st century," Iardi said.
Ilardy discussed how modern-day society eats more and is less physically active than its ancestors, which contributes to the obesity rate of 65 to 75 percent of adults. And although modern society is the safest of any in the history of the world, stress response is far higher now due to greater awareness of tragedy, more perceived social competition and heightened value on success, according to Ilardi.
As a result, conditions never experienced by early humans have developed. The conditions include obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, fibromyalgia, cancer, and especially depression, Iliardi said.
Ihardi pointed to studies showing that one of every nine adults are treated for depression. The rate of the condition has doubled in the past 20 years, despite increased use of chemical antidepressants. More than 30,000 sufferers of depression
commit suicide, and the younger the person, the higher the probability a person will experience depression in his or her lifetime, according to trends llardi cited.
"Our diet is setting us up for a depressed brain," Hardi said.
However, ilardi's researched treatment, Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, or TLC, offers a method that has seen 75 percent of depression patients recover, compared to approximately 25 percent of those on the waiting list for the research. Ilardi has patients exercise with a trainer or partner and alter their food habits.
He recommended less sugar dense foods and more Omega-3 intake, found in sea fish or wild game. Ilardi also prescribes light exposure, sleep improvement and improved human relationships to combat depression. Half of adults have no close friends, Ilardi said.
Jessica Beeson, director of community engagement for the CLAS, sees the findings as relevant to senior and student populations alike.
"Our aim is to get the research of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences out into the public and making it accessible," Beeson said.

Carleen Roberts, Executive Director of the Douglas County Senior Services, was pleased to collaborate with Ilardi to discuss an issue affecting all ages.
"We want to have more partnership with the University and this professor's research and best practices in dealing with depression gives back to the community." Roberts said.

RELIGION
More Holocaust baptisms recorded
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — A new claim has surfaced that the Mormon church posthumously baptized a Holocaust victim, this time Anne Frank.
The allegations come just a week after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apologized when it was brought to light that the parents of Holocaust survivor and Jewish rights advocate Simon Wiesenthal were posthumously baptized by church members at temples in Arizona and Utah in late January.
Researcher Helen Radkey, a former Mormon who revealed the Wiesenthal baptisms, said this week she found Frank's name in proxy baptism records dated Feb. 18, showing the ritual was performed in the Santo Domingo Temple in the Dominican Republic.
The Mormon church almost immediately issued a statement, though it didn't mention Frank by name.
"The Church keeps its word and is absolutely firm in its commitment to not accept the names of Holocaust victims for proxy baptism," the Salt Lake City-based church said. "It is distressing when an individual willfully violates the Church's policy and something that should be understood to be an offering based on love and respect becomes a source of contention."
Church officials did not return telephone calls and emails from The Associated Press on Thursday. A spokeswoman for the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam declined comment.
Larry Bair, the president of the Mormon temple of Santo Domingo, said Thursday he had looked into the reports but was unable to verify that Frank had been baptized.
If it did occur, Bair told the AP,
"It was a mistake."
The news infuriated Jewish leaders, who said the church had previously agreed to bar the process of baptizing Holocaust victims but has failed to follow through by educating its members.
Frank was a Jewish teenager forced into hiding in Amsterdam during the Holocaust and killed in a concentration camp. Her diary was published in 1947.
"I am a Holocaust survivor. It is so offensive in the sense that Holocaust victims were killed solely because they were Jews. And here comes the Mormon church taking away their Jewishness," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "It's like killing them twice."
Mormons believe the baptism ritual allows deceased people a way to the afterlife but it offends members of many other religions.
Jews are particularly offended by an attempt to alter the religion of Holocaust victims, and the baptism of Holocaust survivors was supposed to have been barred by a 1995 agreement.
The church said it takes "a good deal of deception and manipulation to get an improper submission through the safeguards we have put in place."
"While no system is foolproof in preventing the handful of individuals who are determined to falsify submissions, we are committed to taking action against individual abusers by suspending the submitter's access privileges," the church said in its statement. "We will also consider whether other Church disciplinary action should be taken."

Campus student radio may win Woodie Award
Campus radio station and Kansas media partner KIJH 90.7 FM is a semi-finalist for MTVU's Woodie Award for best college radio station, according to a news release on Thursday.
The field is now down to 25 semifinalists, and voting is open to the public. Students can vote by going to RateMyProfessors.com, and they can
vote as many times as they want per day until voting closes.
The award is given to one campus radio station each year, and in years past, WVUM at the University of Miami, KUPS at the University of Puget Sound and WICB at Ithaca College won the award.
KJHK station manager Alex Tretbar said it's great to see KJHK make it this far in the voting process, because it relied predominantly on fans using social media.
"We hope that KJHK's listeners will keep up their intense dedication to the station by seeing KJHK through the next round of voting online," he said in the news release. "It's always a good thing for KJHK and KU when the station is recognized for honors such as this, and we're hoping for even more success with this and other national accolades this year."
Voting for the final round of 10 schools ends Feb.27 at 11 p.m.CST.

Google gives engineering students high-tech gift
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
Google will provide incoming freshmen in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, EECS, with new Android tablets this fall.
According to an Information and Telecommunication Technology Center press release, Google donated $50,000 to provide students with tablets to use in course work throughout the next two years.
"Google's generous donation gives our students in-depth, hands-on experience in mobile computing, an invaluable skill in today's marketplace," Glenn Prescott, EECS chair, according to the release.
Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps and Earth, and his wife, Beth Ellyn, donated $50,000 to provide EECS freshmen with Motorola Xoom tablets in September of last year. McClendon graduated from the University in 1986 with a degree in electrical engineering.
Jason Jones, a junior from Overland Park, received an Android tablet at the beginning of this semester, after passing an introductory engineering class. Jones said he thought the tablets were a good way to get students involved in classes. "It's like giving students a $500 incentive to
pass the classes," he said.
Jones said he has to pass two more classes before he can permanently keep the tablet. According the press release, students must pass EECS classes with at least a C to keep the tablet.
EECS assistant professor Brian Potetz said in the press release that students can lose sight of the possibilities of what they can do with programming in the midst of learning technical concepts. The school has developed simplified exercises to capture students' interest. Potetz and assistant professor Bo Luo use the tablets to teach interactive programming lessons.
"it's good to see what we'll be programming on," Jones said.
Amanda Parks, a freshman in the EECS program from Kansas City, Kan., said in the release that she had not owned a tablet before receiving one last fall from McClendon in her Programming I class.
Jones said he has used the tablet for class and personal work and has already started doing basic programming with it.
"This opportunity has left me thrilled and excited to be a part of such a great program where the possibilities are limitless." Park said.

Oil-drilling protesters take to the sea in effort to save Arctic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand Television actress Lucy Lawless climbed aboard an oil-drilling ship Friday in New Zealand, joining six Greenpeace activists to try to stop the vessel from setting off for the Arctic.
Speaking from atop a 174-foot drilling tower aboard the Noble Discoverer in Port Taranaki, Lawless told The Associated Press on Friday that wind gusts were making it difficult to stay put but that she and the other protesters planned to stay there for "as long as we posi-
the protesters hung banners from the drilling derrick reading "Stop Shell" and "#SaveTheArctic"
bly can" She said she had a "little bit" of food and some provisions with her.
The ship is chartered by oil company Shell. Shona Geary, the company's New Zealand spokeswoman, said the ship was due to leave over the weekend for a drilling program in the Arctic but that all operations aboard had come to a stop.
Police spokesman Grant Ogilvie
"We are taking a very calm and measured approach to this," she said.
said early Friday afternoon that five police officers boarded the ship. They had made contact with the protesters and were trying to determine their intentions. The port remained open but access was restricted, Ogilvie said.
"The protesters are clearly breaking the law by trespassing on the ship," said Police Inspector Blair Telford in a statement.
Lawless, 43, a native New Zealander, is best known for her title role in "Xena: Warrior Princess." More recently she has starred in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand."
Lawless said she was taking direct protest action for the first time in her life to protest oil drilling and to draw attention to climate change.
"I've got three kids. My sole biological reason for being on this planet is to ensure that they can flourish, and they can't do that in a filth, degraded environment," she said. "We need to stand up while we still can."
Greenpeace spokesman Nathan Argent said the ship was due to drill five exploratory wells during the Arctic summer.

S sports
The Kansas and Missouri basketball rivalry dates back over a century. "Hate" probably serves as the most accurate depiction between these opposing universities. Kansas leads the all-time series 171-94 against Missouri.
As the rivalry pencils in possibly the final chapter of its story, it becomes clearer what counts the most. Tradition, history, passion, heart, hustle and toughness are all examples of what we take pride in here in Lawrence and they can be summed up in one word: mentality. Why has Kansas won seven straight Big 12 regular season championships? Mentality.
COMMENTAR Voice of the fan: What counts?
It seems we constantly try to attribute success to various elements. In basketball, we credit victories to a 10-0 run or an incredible fadeaway jump shot. We blame losses on a questionable foul or a lucky shot by the opponent. But when you get down to the nitty-gritty, what counts the most?
Kansas and Missouri fans can argue until they're blue in the face about who is better, who deserves a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, or who is going to win the Big 12 title. Kansas fans usually bring up a storied tradition and past success against Missouri. Consequently, Missouri fans claim that past success has nothing to do with the current season. But Missouri fans are wrong. Kansas isn't always the most talented team in the league. Kansas isn't always the most experienced team in the league. Kansas' schedule doesn't always work in its favor. As a matter of fact, the schedule usually works against the Jayhawks. None of that changes the mentality the Jayhawks carry with them.
The Grading Scale:
How did Kansas fare at Texas A&M?

We are one lucky fan base. I can say I'm proud to be a Jayhawk and proud of our past success. I'm proud of the mentality that has been built here in Lawrence because of that success. I'm not saying we haven't had great players, but players come and go. The mentality, however, never leaves. And that is what counts the most.
- Edited by Max Rothman
Kansas is on the verge of clinching its eight straight Big 12 championship because there is an immeasurable, winning mentality in Lawrence. Lawrence doesn't want to share the Big 12 title with Missouri, a school departing for the Southeastern Conference. It is not acceptable to be second best in the conference because Kansas has built expectations based on past success. But to Missouri, past success doesn't matter? It matters to the players, it matters to the coaches, and it matters to the fans. That's not to say other programs, like Missouri, don't have a will to win. They just don't have the "we aren't going to let you take this from us" mentality. You can call it arrogant. You can call it a bad attitude. But maybe that what it takes to win a league eight consecutive times. We win because of the mentality we bring. We bring that mentality because we are Kansas.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey and Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson have programs in two different spots right now; Baylor is undefeated at 28-0 and Kansas is 18-9, scrambling for a couple more victories to cement an NCAA appearance.

THE MORNING BREW Baylor's Griner deserves our attention
I know most people were expecting a brew about Kansas-Missouri and the history of the rivalry or something of
that nature.
But before that battle there's a pretty good appetizer on tonight when the Kansas women's basketball team takes on No. 1 undefeated Baylor.
The Jayhawks don't have much of chance in this game, but it's worth your time to watch for one reason.
The Lady Bears might have the most dominant player in women's basketball history on their side. Brittney Griner continues to be one of the most fascinating basketball players of our generation.
I've heard comparisons to Lew Alcindor at UCLA in the late 1960's. That's the same man who had got the dunk outlawed in college basketball.
This season, Griner has once again been a dominant force with 22.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 blocks per game. She continues to be the obvious frontrunner for every major women's basketball award and rightfully so.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Griner dominates the game at both ends of the floor, getting any shot she wants over the smaller defenders and swatting every shot with her 7-foot-3 wingspan.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has said throughout the year that the only way to beat Griner is to make shots, but even then she can get to a lot of the basketballs on the perimeter. I asked Henrickson yesterday about who she could compare to Griner.
She threw out a couple names.
Connecticut's Kara Wolters who played for the Huskies between 1993 and 1997 was one of them. At 6-foot-7, Wolters is close in height to Griner, but didn't play with the
same length. She was part of the 1995 team that went undefeated in all 35 games it played that season.
Georgeann Wells, another 6-foot-7 center,
became the first woman to register a dunk in
a NCAA women's basketball game on Dec.
21, 1984.
Or somebody, even before Henrickson's playing days, named Anne Donavon who at 6-foot-8 dominated the women's basketball at Old Dominion in the early '80s, including winning the first women's Naismith College Player of the Year in 1983.
"I love Anne Donavon," Henrickson said.
"But she can't do what Brittney Griner can do."
Nobody has ever done what Brittney Griner has done. She's revolutionized the women's college game by being the first consistent dunker as well as a spectacular athlete.
But even though her defense is probably her most crucial constitution to the Lady Bears' success this season, most people are fascinated by a woman dunking a basketball.
There been other womens dunkers. The afoefore mentioned Wells, Sylvia Fowles and
KU
Candace Parker just to name a few.
But unlike those players, Griner dunks with authority, and doesn't just have one-handed slams that barely make it over the rim.
Griner is a once-in-a-lifetime player. There are very few times in life when you can watch the most dominant athlete in a certain sport.
A part of her repertoire includes 360 degree jams, slams off the backboard and dunks from almost underneath the basket.
Think of tonight's game like watching Muhammad Ali in his prime or Tiger Woods in the early 2000s. Those athletes could not be stopped.

with her, the most impact she has is on the other end because she is going to take 25 or 30 away from you at the rim and even mid-range," Henrickson said.
Henrickson said the Jayhawks will have senior forward Aishah Sutherland and sophomore Tania Jackson play toward the perimeter while leaving Gardner and freshman forward Bunny Williams down low. Gardner struggled with quick fouls on Tuesday in the victory against Texas Tech, which thrust Williams into the spotlight. Williams answered the call and scored a career-high eight points in the outing.
Williams met with Henrickson after practice one afternoon and asked what she needed to work on to start making a difference and get more playing time. She realized that she was behind Davis and Sutherland, but wanted to be ready when the lawhaws needed her.
"I think I was just at a point where I wasn't improving on anything, and I felt like I needed to do extra to improve," Williams said.
Henrickson told her to work on
her face-up shot and general confidence. Williams got the opportunity on Tuesday to show her improvement. Junior guard Angel Goodrich passed her the ball and without hesitation, she knocked down a 12-foot jump shot on her way to a career-high eight points in another career-high 18 minutes on the floor.
Baylor gets a lot of attention for their post play, but they balance it out with All-American candidate Odyssey Sims at point guard. Sims and Goodrich were both named finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award which honors the best point guard in Division 1 women's basketball.
"She is a competitive kid." Henrickson said. "They are both very similar in that way."
Henrickson is expecting more pressure on Goodrich since she has become more of a scoring threat with Davis out.
Jackson said the team had a good practice on Wednesday and has learned a lot since their earlier loss to the Bears.
"We just can't rush shots and play five one-on-one games," Jackson said. "We've got to play with confidence."

It is a new day for the Kansas track and field program because today marks the beginning of the Big 12 Indoor Championship meet. The women's team has received national attention from the coaches polls in the past two weeks. Going into today's championship meet, the women's team is ranked first in the Midwest region and seventh nationally.
"I feel like Kansas is the underdog," junior sprinter Pari Daniels said. "I feel like we're putting Kansas back on the map, and we worked so hard for this in practice."
the nation. Texas' women's 4x400-meter relay team, which the Kansas team will compete against this weekend, has the third-fastest time in the nation. Kansas sophomore Diamond Dixon will join Paris Daniels in the relay, along with junior Taylor Washington and senior Danesha Morris.
Daniels is a member of the women's 4x400-meter relay team, which qualified for the NCAA national championship meet with the current fourth fastest time in
Dixon is also running the 400- meter race. She finished third in that event at last year's Big 12 Indoor Championship. Her time in the 400-meter is the fastest time in the conference this season, and 5th in the nation.
"I feel like we can win it"
Diamond Dixon said of the 4x400-meter relay race. "We just have to run like we did in Arkansas, and now a little better."
Taylor Washington will also be running in the 600-meter. She was the 2010 Big 12 champion in the 600-meter.
The women's team has had many solid performances this season. At the pole vault sophomore Demi Payne has cleared the 2nd highest mark of anybody in the Big 12 this year.
The layhawks have the conference's best long-jumper in junior Francine Simpson, and best triple-jumper, junior Andrea Geubelle. The two have combined to win seven titles in the two events this season, and they are both ranked in the top 15 nationally in long jump.
Senior Alena Krechyk won the weight throw at the 2010 Big 12 championship and competes for another Big 12 title this weekend in the event. Her best throw of the season is currently 3rd among throwers in the Big 12.
The men's side is unranked, but they are healthy and will compete for titles in many events. In the
pole vault, the men's team features sophomore Alex Bishop, with the fourth-ranked pole vault in the Big 12 this season. Freshmen Casey Bowen and Greg Lupton are tied for fifth in the Big 12 pole vault.
Senior sprinter Kyle Clemons will be the most experienced runner in the men's 4x400 relay team, which holds the fifth best time in the conference.
"The biggest thing is we're injury-free right now. We just need to go out and compete to the best of our potential" coach Stanley Redwine said.
The meet gets underway at 11 a.m. with the women's pentathlon. Senior Rebecca Neville and freshman Lindsay Vollmer will compete in the event for Kansas.

AT A GLANCI
It's finally here. The last Missouri game at Allen Fieldhouse, possibly ever, brings with it unprecedented hype and national attention. Coach Bill Self said this may be the most electric environment in the fieldhouse's history. With a victory, No. 4 Kansas (23-5, 13-2) can claim at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who said he felt responsible for the 74-71 loss at Mizzuou Arena on Feb. 4, is just happy to have a second chance. Whether or not this game concludes the storied Border Showdown, it will likely produce a frenzied crowd and top-notch basketball.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
The last time the Jayhawks met with the Tigers, Withey didn't score a point. He was supposed to be the one unmatchable Kansas player.
FRED DAVIS
Withey
but instead he was mostly ineffective. In the three games that followed the loss, Withey averaged 20.3 points and improved his already potent ability to block and alter shots. He now has a chance to prove himself against some of the Big 12's best competition, clobber a hated rival and help his team reach yet another conference title.
QUESTION MARK
Will this be the last time?
With Missouri off to the Southeastern Conference next season and Self clearly stating that he doesn't want to continue the rivalry in the near future, this could be the final edition of the Border Showdown. Self said that he could maybe see a reunion three to five years down the road, but that's no sure thing. The conference title, bragging rights and momentum are all important factors in this game. But perhaps more important than all of those is the chance to give a rival a permanently sour taste in its mouth.
"These kids will be fired up to play, for a lot of reasons. They have a chance to get a ring, at least a piece of it, a chance to play Missouri, but more importantly, a chance to play a team that beat us the first time we played."
HEAR YE. HEAR YE

A. B.
Taylor said that he was responsible for the loss at Mizzou Arena earlier this season. While he may be right, the Jayhawks also wouldn't have been in the game if Taylor hadn't scored 21 points. Taylor is pleased to have another shot at the Tigers. Don't expect him to waste it.
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
★★★★★
ALEXANDER HALIFAX
He used to be the scapegoat, but on Wednesday night at Texas A&M, he was the hero. Johnson scored 21 points, 18 in the first half, and saved his team from what was almost an embarrassing loss. In the game at Mizzou Arena, Johnson took the final shot that would have tied the game, but he hesitated and missed badly. Will Self give him the ball again if Kansas faces a similar situation?
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
Releford will be a key figure as Self tries to counter Missouri's four-guard lineup. Releford has the ability to defend point guards and power forwards, so Self needs him stay out of foul trouble. If Releford can shut down Denmon or English, the Jayhawks will have a better chance at getting into fast breaks.
YOUNG BURKE
Robinson
★★☆☆
★★★☆☆
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
Robinson had one of his worst games of the season on Wednesday, ending his night on a technical foul. In the first half of the Missouri game, he struggled offensively, scoring just six points. You better believe that Robinson, the national player of the year candidate, will be juiced for this one.
★★★★★
Withey has finally found his mean streak. He has averaged 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds in the past five games. The game before those five? He was held scoreless at Mizzou Arena. If Withey really wants to please his fans, he's got to get it done against the Tigers.

PHIL PRESSEY, GUARD
Pressey
A. M. BARKER

MISSOURI TIPOFF
TIGERS
AT A GLANCE
Mizzou was hardly itself against Kansas State on Tuesday night in Columbia, Mo., losing to the Wildcats by 10. The Tigers were 4-0 since their 74-17 victory over Kansas on Feb. 4 and were tied with the Jayhawks atop the Big 12 standings. They're now one game out of first place and if they have any hopes of winning the conference championship in their final year in the Big 12, a victory on Saturday is nearly a must. A loss would put them two games back from first with just two games remaining. The Tigers haven't won in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1988-1999 season They are losers of 12 games straight in Lawrence.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Phil Pressey, guard
PRESIDENT
Pressey
The leader of the Tiger offense, Pressey was almost completely shut down by Tyshawn Taylor in the first meeting on Feb. 4. He finished with just two points, far from his season average of 9.9. Pressey's size was a huge disadvantage in the first matchup. He's listed at just 5-foot-10 compared to Taylor who, at at 6-foot-3, harassed Presley the entire game and made once simple tasks difficult.
Can the Tigers handle the pressure?
QUESTION MARK
Coach Bill Self said the Allen Fieldhouse crowd on Saturday might be rowdier than any game in the history of the building. Games against Missouri are already a spectacle of ear-splitting noise, and the Tigers' last visit to Lawrence will bring it to a whole different level. Maintaining composure during the pre-game festivities and opening minutes will be key if Missouri has hopes of leaving with a victory.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Brittney Griner is the most happy-go-lucky, fun, tender, soft kid you'll ever meet in a big body. And just as all in life, we make mistakes and she never wavered from who she is. She's the most humble, non-arrogant athlete that has the credentials she has that I've ever coached."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey at Women's Big 12 Media Day responding to a question about Griner's personal growth as a player
FACT OF THE DAY
Griner will be the only college athlete on the USA Basketball Women's National team at the 2012 Olympics in London.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the first woman to dunk in the WNBA?
A: Lisa Leslie on July 12, 2002 for the Los Angeles Sparks
wnba.com
THE MORNING BREW Baylor's Griner deserves our attention
know most people were expecting a brew about Kansas-Missouri and the history of the rivalry or something of
that nature.
But before that battle there's a pretty good appetizer on tonight when the Kansas women's basketball team takes on No. 1 undefeated Baylor.
The fayhawks don't have much of chance in this game, but it's worth your time to watch for one reason.
The Lady Bears might have the most dominant player in women's basketball history on their side. Brittney Griner continues to be one of the most fascinating basketball players of our generation.
I've heard comparisons to Lew Alcindor at UCLA in the late 1960's. That's the same man who had got the dunk outlawed in college basketball.
This season, Griner has once again been a dominant force with 22.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 blocks per game. She continues to be the obvious frontrunner for every major women's basketball award and rightfully so.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Griner dominates the game at both ends of the floor, getting any shot she wants over the smaller defenders and swatting every shot with her 7-foot-3 wingspan.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has said throughout the year that the only way to beat Griner is to make shots, but even then she can get to a lot of the basketballs on the perimeter. I asked Henrickson yesterday about who she could compare to Griner.
She threw out a couple names.
same length. She was part of the 1995 team that went undefeated in all 35 games it played that season.
Connecticut's Kara Wolters who played for the Huskies between 1993 and 1997 was one of them. At 6-foot-7, Wolters is close in height to Griner, but didn't play with the
Georgeann Wells, another 6-foot-7 center, became the first woman to register a dunk in a NCAA women's basketball game on Dec. 21, 1984.
Or somebody, even before Henrickson's playing days, named Anne Donavon who at 6-foot-8 dominated the women's basketball at Old Dominion in the early '80s, including winning the first women's Naimith College Player of the Year in 1983.
"I love Anne Donavon," Henrickson said. "But she can't do what Brittney Griner can do."
Nobody has ever done what Brittney Griner has done. She's revolutionized the women's college game by being the first consistent dunker as well as a spectacular athlete.
But even though her defense is probably her most crucial constitution to the Lady Beears' success this season, most people are fascinated by a woman dunking a basketball.
There's been other women dunkers. The afoefore mentioned Wells, Sylvia Fowles and
KU
Candace Parker just to name a few.
A part of her repertoire includes 360 degree jams, slams off the backboard and dunks from almost underneath the basket.
But unlike those players, Griner dunks with authority, and doesn't just have one-handed slams that barely make it over the rim.
Griner is a once-in-a lifetime player. There are very few times in life when you can watch the most dominant athlete in a certain sport.
Think of tonight's game like watching Muhammad Ali in his prime or Tiger Woods in the early 2000s. Those athletes could not be stopped.
And neither can Griner.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
It's finally here. The last Missouri game at Allen Fieldhouse, possibly ever, brings with it unprecedented hype and national attention. Coach Bill Self said this may be the most electric environment in the fieldhouse's history. With a victory. No 4 Kansas (23-5, 13-2) can claim at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who said he felt responsible for the 74-71 loss at Mizou Arena on Feb. 4, is just happy to have a second chance. Whether or not this game concludes the storied Border Showdown, it will likely produce a frenzied crowd and top-notch basketball.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
PAGE 7B
The last time the Jayhawks met with the Tigers, Withey didn't score a point. He was supposed to be the one unmatchable Kansas player.
PARKER
Withey
but instead he was mostly ineffective. In the three games that followed the loss, Withey averaged 20.3 points and improved his already potent ability to block and after shots. He now has a chance to prove himself against some of the Big 12's best competition, clobber a hated rival and help his team reach yet another conference title.
Will this be the last time?
QUESTION MARK
With Missouri off to the Southeastern Conference next season and Self clearly stating that he doesn't want to continue the rivalry in the near future, this could be the final edition of the Border Showdown. Self said that he could maybe see a reunion three to five years down the road, but that's no sure thing. The conference title, bragging rights and momentum are all important factors in this game. But perhaps more important than all of those is the chance to give a rival a permanently sour taste in its mouth.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"These kids will be fired up to play, for a lot of reasons. They have a chance to get a ring, at least a piece of it, a chance to play Missouri, but more importantly, a chance to play a team that beat us the first time we played."

KANSAS (23-5,13-2) STARTERS
Taylor said that he was responsible for the loss at Mizzou Arena earlier this season. While he may be right, the Jayhawks also wouldn't have been in the game if Taylor hadn't scored 21 points. Taylor is pleased to have another shot at the Tigers. Don't expect him to waste it.
Johnson

Mike Browne
★★★★★
ELIJAH JOHNSON. GUARD
Releford will be a key figure as Self tries to counter Missouri's four-guard lineup. Releford has the ability to defend point guards and power forwards, so Self needs him stay out of foul trouble. If Releford can shut down Denmon or English, the Jayhawks will have a better chance at getting into fast breaks.
He used to be the scapegoat, but on Wednesday night at Texas A&M, he was the hero. Johnson scored 21 points, 18 in the first half, and saved his team from what was almost an embarrassing loss. In the game at Mizzou Arena, Johnson took the final shot that would have tied the game, but he hesitated and missed badly. Will Self give him the ball again if Kansas faces a similar situation?
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Robinson
Robinson had one of his worst games of the season on Wednesday, ending his night on a technical foul. In the first half of the Missouri game, he struggled offensively, scoring just six points. You better believe that Robinson, the national player of the year candidate, will be juiced for this one.
★★★☆☆
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
★★★☆☆
Withey has finally found his mean streak. He has averaged 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds in the past five games. The game before those five? He was held scoreless at Mizzou Arena. If Withey really wants to please his fans, he's got to get it done against the Tigers.

Fuzzy's Taco Shop is new to the University basketball fanbase. "We ordered up knowing it was going to be a big weekend. They tell me that win or lose it gets pretty crazy after the game," co-owner, John Records said. It opened in the fall semester and has been doing well in business.
Defeating the University of Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse for possibly the last time had a positive impact on the bars and restaurants on Massachusetts Street.
But even before the game began, Massachusetts Street businesses were preparing for the crowds. Buffalo Wild Wings started gearing up two days before the game.
"We ordered extra plates and cups to make sure that we don't run out of anything. It might be close to one of our record-breaking days," Ashley Crowder, Buffalo Wild Wings manager, said.
"We're pretty geared to a college crowd. Its limited service and the menu items are inexpensive, which caters to college students," Records said.

"The bar business is obviously doing very well because I haven't gone into the bar yet because I've been waiting in line." Anthony Idika, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., said.

On Saturday night, the line for Brother's Bar and Grill reached the corner of 11th and Massachusetts streets. There were also lines in front of other popular bars.
"I feel like it's really active. If we would have lost the game, Mass Street would be really dead tonight, but it's not, we won the game!" Drew Robinson, a graduate from Prairie Village said. "I was here for the national championship game so I know what crazy goes down here, but I haven't experienced anything like this yet. There are lots of people and there are linés everywhere. People just want to go out and
such a large amount of customers.
"We probably did about $2,500 worth of business from 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m." Mandele said.

The No. 4 Jayhawks (24-5, 14-2) trailed by 19 points with 17 minutes left, but erased the deficit in an arduous second half and won 87-86 in overtime, clinching at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title.
It may become, quite possibly, one of the most epocaly play in Kansas basketball history. The kind of play that shows up with Mario Chalmers and Wilt Chamberlain on the pre-game videos. The kind of play that, years from now, helps people remember this rivalry when it lived. And he did it, so he says, with his eyes closed.
The downtown atmosphere after the game was described as crazy, loud, and exciting. Jefferson's Restaurant had people showing up before they were open. The crowd was wild with a loud mixture of pitchers, shots.
Robinson abandoned senior guard Kim English in the right corner after sophomore guard Phil "Flip" Pressey ignored a screen and dashed for the hoop. With two seconds to play in regulation time, Robinson hung in the air and swatted Presey's layup attempt with a hammering right hand, denying the Tigers a victory, sending the game into overtime and riling the Fieldhouse crowd to a volume that was deafening.
The game, the last of its kind, the final Border Showdown with conference-title implications, was tied at 75 when junior forward Thomas Robinson blocked the shot.
"Thomas isn't a shot blocker," coach Bill Self said. "That was a big-time play from a big-time player."

When campers gathered last Saturday for the lottery at Allen Fieldhouse, organizers asked those in attendance not to "who," yell "home of the Chiefs" or wear anything but blue. They said that Bill Self didn't approve of the chants and asked campers to follow tradition.

Since the beginning of the season, a fight to take the "whoo" out of the Rock Chalk Chant and stop fans from yelling "home of the Chiefs" at the end of the National Anthem has erupted.
As fans gathered to watch the final installment of the Border Showdown Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, there was another battle brewing between the University's men's basketball fans.

Student group turns litter into livelihood in Ghana
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
In Lawrence, a plastic bag on the street is litter. In Ghana, that same bag is a weapon to fight poverty.
A new student group, Nourish International KU, is teaming up with students from the University of New Mexico and ABAN, an organization that helps single, teenage mothers in Accra, Ghana, turn discarded plastic bags into a fabric they can use to make the products the sell.
Adam Nicholson, the founder of Nourish International KU and a junior from Lawrence, said that ABAN's work helps both the women and the environment.
"They don't have a lot of clean water, so they buy it in these plastic bags," Nicholson said. "The bags usually just get discarded, thrown out. They just sit around and collect germs and make for a not very nice environment."
The women turn these bags into purses, wallets and beads
for bracelets, which club members have been selling in Lawrence this month.
The money raised will be used to improve the ABAN
If Nourish International can raise extra money, members will clean up a piece of land owned by ABAN to plant a garden and buy small farm animals, which would give the female workers an extra source of food and income.
The student group is currently raising money for a giving challenge with 14 Nourishment International chapters throughout the United States. The University has raised $825, and is in sixth place. Lawson, the ventures director for the group, said Nourish International's fundraising efforts will continue next month with a three-against-three basketball tournament and a March Madness bracket contest.
"It's really giving them a way to transition out of poverty, because poverty is such a cyclical trap," said Nicole Lawson, a senior from Shawnee. "This is a way to kind of break that trap. It allows for better education for their children, better nutrition."
workshop in Accra, where student volunteers plan to build an outdoor, covered work area this summer. The workshop will serve as a cooler work place during the hot summer months and give the women more space to work. Members also hope to install a new clay oven so the women can make more beads.

Santorum asks for a Karzai apology
红绿灯标志
"The response needs to be apologized for by (President Hamid) Karzai and the Afghan people for attacking and killing our men and women in uniform and overreacting to this inadvertent mistake." Santorum said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "That is the real crime here, not what our soldiers did."
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum criticized President Barack Obama's apology for the burning of Qurans in Afghanistan, adding that Afghanistan should apologize to the U.S. for the deaths of four U.S. soldiers during six days of violence sparked by the incident.
More than 30 people have been killed in clashes since it emerged Tuesday that copies of the Muslim holy book and other religious materials had been thrown into a fire pit used to burn garbage at Bagram Air Field, a large U.S. base north of Kabul.

Suicide car bomber attack outside of church kills family
JOS, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber detained his explosives outside a major church Sunday, killing three people and wounding 38 in a restive central Nigerian city that has seen hundreds die in religious and ethnic violence.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The radical Islamist sect Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attack on the main headquarters of the Church of Christ in Nigeria that hit as worshippers took part in an early morning service. The attack follows other assaults the sect has claimed against Christians in Nigeria's north, widening distrust between the two main faiths in the multietnic nation of more than 160 million people.
A soldier walks past a damaged car following an explosion at Christ embassy church in Suleja, Nigeria, Feb. 19.
The attack killed a woman, and a father and his child near the explosion. Plateau state spokesman Pam Ayuba said. The bomber apparently ran down the woman while racing his car toward the church compound, said Mark Lipdo, a coordinator for a Christian group called the Stefanos Foundation. The blast left shattered glass all over the church compound, as an angry crowd of youths began smashing the windows of cars passing by the scene, witnesses said.
Emergency officials took 38 people to hospitals for treatment, said Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman with Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.
in a statement, President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the attack.
Rebel group will no longer kidnap, freeing 'prisoners of war'
SOUTH AMERICA
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia's main rebel group said Sunday it is abandoning the practice of kidnapping and will soon free its last remaining "prisoners of war," 10 security force members held for as long as 14 years.
The leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, announced on its website that it would no longer kidnap civilians "for financial ends," marking the first time the rebels have unequivocally renounced a tool they have long employed against Colombia's well-heeled.
The FARC did not provide a date for the liberation of the 10 security force
memoers, two fewer than the government says it holds.
Sunday's announcement could advance prospects for a peace dialogue sought by the rebels. The government has insisted the FARC end all kidnappings as a minimal first step.
"We value the FARC's announcement that it is renouncing kidnapping as an important and necessary, if insufficient, step in the right direction," he said.
The rebels did not say, however that they were was abandoning hostilities. The FARC has recently stepped up hit-and-run attacks and the military blames it for bombings and mortar attacks on two police posts in the past month that killed 15 people and wounded nearly 100, most of them civilians.
President Juan Manuel Santos responded to Sunday's statement positively via Twitter.
In the 1990s, kidnappings by the FARC or by criminal gangs that sold the abducted to the rebels helped make Colombia the world's kidnapping capital.

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threatened to launch a powerful retaliatory strike against South Korea if provoked, state media said Sunday, a day before the start of annual South Korean-U.S. military drills that Pyongyang calls an invasion rehearsal.
North Korean leader threatens strike against South Korea
South Korean and U.S. officials have said the 12-day, largely computer-simulated war games are defensive in nature.
Kim, supreme commander of the North's 1.2 million-member military, made the comment during a visit to front-line military units, including one
that shelled a South Korean island in 2010, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
"He ordered them to make a powerful retaliatory strike at the enemy, should the enemy intrude even 0.001 millimeter into the waters of the country where its sovereignty is exercised," KCNA said. It did not say when Kim visited the units.
North Korea has regularly issued such rhetoric against joint South Korean-U.S. military exercises.
KCNA said fears of a war on the Korean peninsula have heightened due to the drills, which it called a "new war of aggression." North Korea's
powerful National Defense Commission threatened Saturday to wage a "sacred war" over the exercises.
North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Kim met with China's chief nuclear envoy, Wu Daewell, and Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun separately on Saturday to discuss the stalled six-nuclear talks, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Further details were not disclosed.
More than three years have passed since the last session of the six-nation talks, which involve the United States, the two Koreas, China, Japan and Russia.

Second damaging quake hits Siberia in past two months
MOSCOW — A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 shook southwestern Siberia on Sunday afternoon, the second to hit the area in two months. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, emergency officials said.
Residents of multistory apartment buildings said objects tumbled off of shelves, windows rattled and chandeliers swayed during the quake, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
A aquake of similar strength hit the same spot in late December. That quake damaged dozens of buildings, including a bridge over the Yenisei River to Mongolia.
The earthquake hit about 60 miles east of Kyzyl, the capital of
the russian republic of Tuva, which borders Mongolia.
Sunday's quake, which the U.S. Geological Survey said was centered 7.3 miles below the surface, was felt across a broad swat of southeastern Siberia.

Expo sparks interest for future students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

More than 2,000 elementary, middle and high school students interested in science crowded Learned Hall all day Friday for the annual Engineering Expo, sponsored by Engineering Student Council. Three hundred engineering students volunteered to run the activities that promoted engineering concepts aimed at stimulating interest in the field for the visiting students.
"Although Expo is a great opportunity to recruit students, it's really about seeing these kids get truly excited about science, math and engineering, in hopes that they will pursue it in their futures," said Nicole Rissky, sophomore from Tecumseh and co-chair of the event.
This was the 101st Engineering Expo hosted at the University. This year's theme was "Engineering Expo: At the Top of Our Game."
Students came prepared for certain competitions including designing inventive gadgets to perform simple tasks called Rube Goldberg machines, constructing concrete load-bearing structures
The activities, put on by 32 student organizations, sought to incorporate board games and video games into promoting engineering as the top field in the world today, Risky said. Students learned about the University's various engineering disciplines including architecture, aerospace and mechanical through the activities, one of which was a classroom-sized Star Wars Monopoly game.

Hadley Sis, a sophomore from Seattle, assisted with the trebuchet competition as part of student chapter of American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Sis saw that students going through the process of designing miniature trebuchets (catapults that were required to fling a racquetball 15 feet) as gaining hands-on experience with physics and mechanics.
“It's a really good opportunity to see what younger kids can do who are interested in the field of engineering," Sis said. "I think it's important for kids to see what it entails to be in a math and science field."
Emily Hull, a sixth grader from Eudora Middle School, and her two teammates prepared for three weeks building their trebuchet for the competition. This was the first year they were able to compete as school. Funding issues prevented them from attending last year.
"We know that we can work together long enough to make something as great as our trebuchet." Hull said. "I think KU worked really hard to set this up."
Using the engineering process, Hull's team researched previous designs, brainstormed ideas, simulated a model and tested the final design, which they called "Big Jay," making changes as needed.
Hull said she was more interested in attending the University for engineering someday because of this event.

They were among the seven Marines killed in one of the Corps' deadliest aviation training accidents in years.
Families of dead marines share stories of loved ones
As their families grieved and shared memories, crews worked to clean up the accident site on a sprawling desert range near Yuma, Ariz.
The dead, part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, were listed as Maj. Thomas A. Budrejk, 37, of Montville, Conn.; Capt. Michael M. Quin, 28, of Purcellville, Va.; Capt. Benjamin N. Cerniglia, 31, of Montgomery, Ala.; Sgt. Justin A. Everett, 33, of Clovis,
"Every single one of these Marines impacted our squadron in their own special way, and the entire Marine Corps aviation community is feeling their tragic loss," said Lt. Col. Stephen Lightfoot, commanding officer of the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469. "I ask that you pray for the families and friends of the warriors we have lost."
Calif.; Lance Cpl. Corey A. Little, 25, of Marietta, Ga.; Lance Cpl. Nickulaws H.elliott, 21, of Spokane, Wash., and Capt. Nathan W. Anderson, 32, of Amarillo, Texas.
Anderson was based in Yuma and the others were from Camp Pendleton in Southern California, the West Coast's largest base.
Officials said it could take weeks to determine what caused two helicopters, an AH-1 WCobra and a UH-1 Huey, to crash in midair during a routine exercise Wednesday night, killing all aboard the aircraft.

Maher announced during a Yahoo-webcast special, "CrazyStupidPolitics," that he was giving $1 million to Priorities USA Action, a super political action committee backing the president. Even as he made his sizeable pledge, Maher mocked the committee's "tongue-twister name," joking that it was dreamed up by Borat; the English-addled Eastern European comic creation of Sacha Baron Cohen.

Colbert created and funded his super PAC — Making a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow — to satirize the unfettered flow of corporate and union funds into political campaigns.
More than half of the $60 million donated to groups supporting Obama and his GOP presidential rivals since early last year has come in million-dollar-plus donations. With Maher's donation, $4 million of Priorities USA Action's entire $5.5 million in contributions will have come from million-dollar-plus gifts.

Oscars deny new Cohen character
LOS ANGELES — Sacha Baron Cohen's plan to show up at Sunday's Oscar ceremony in character as Adm. Gen. Shabazz Aladeen, the focus of his upcoming movie "The Dictator," may have been scuttled by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but Cohen (or at least his character) isn't taking the slight quietly. He's taking the fight to the media.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Cohen called into NBC's "Today" show on Friday morning, in character as Aladeen, upset about being banned from the Oscars red carpet. (Cohen is still welcome to attend, but only as himself.)
ACADEMY AWARDS
Playing along, hosts Ann Curry and Carl Quintanilla asked the dictator about the red carpet ban. Aladeen responded that he had
issued an ultimatum to the academy, "They have until midday on Sunday to give me my tickets back. If they do not, they will see and face unforeseen and unimaginable consequences."
Los Angeles Times that he had warned Paramount Pictures, the studio distributing "The Dictator," that Cohen showing up in character was "a bad thing to do."
Curry made some effort to get Cohen to break character, asking Aladeen what he thought of Cohen's performance in the Oscar-nominated film "Hugo," but Aladeen wouldn't bite, responding that he hadn't heard of "Hugo" and that the only films shown in his country were those written by and starring himself. "Hugo" was also distributed by Paramount.
He also tried to keep the anchors off-balance by throwing out questions such as "How is your eunuch, Al Roker?"
The joking ultimatum against the academy was repeated from a short video Cohen released to Deadline.com in which Aladeen addressed the academy as the
"How is your eunuch, Al Roker?"
SACHA BARON COHEN Actor
When asked what those unimaginable consequences might be, Aladeen responded, "Let's just say oil prices might be raised."
On Wednesday, academy President Tom Sherak told the
"Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Zionists."
It's still unclear whether Cohen will show up at the Oscars on Sunday at all, or if he really
intends to retaliate in some way against the academy. But as a way of drumming up interest in his upcoming movie in May, he's got the wheels of the promotion machine cranking in high gear already.
MUSIC
George Strait to play make up show in KC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Country music star George Strait says he'll play in Kansas City next week to make up for a weekend concert he cut short because he was too sick to continue.
Strait made it through two songs Saturday night at the Sprint Center before telling the crowd he couldn't keep going because he was ill. The Kansas City Star reports the singer's voice was labored and hoarse.
All tickets for the first show will be honored at the March 3 concert.
Associated Press
Many of the 18,000 in attendance stood and gave him a rousing ovation after they got over their initial disappointment.
Martina McBride opened for Strait with a one-hour set, and she says she will be back next Saturday to open for him again.

Perry's new film fails to impress
IMCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
There are always pearls of wisdom in the cinematic semonettes of Tyler Perry. And even if they're a tad too obvious, it's plain that his connection to Oprah has paid off when he has characters in his films talk about personal responsibility, taking control of your own life and marriage, or simply making it a motto to do the right thing.
But the movies around his astute observations about life are generally slow-footed slogs, in desperate need of editing. "Good Deeds" or ("Tyler Perry's Good Deeds") has a few good scenes, a few solid messages about the importance of being needed in a relationship or marriage and the financial tightrope a lot of families are walking in this economy. But he's such a dull dramatist and boring actor that the message isn't delivered.
Perry stars as Wesley Deeds, a San Francisco CEO who rides herd over his hotheaded screw-up brother (Brian White, in a role so broad and inaptly written that he'doomed before he opens his mouth). Their martinet mom (Phylicia Rashad) raised them to be "gentleman," and ambitious ones at that. So Wesley is marrying a stunning, shallow go-getter Realtor (Gabrielle Union).
"Am I living my own life, or the one I'm told to live?" he asks in the sermon's opening narration.
The result is an overlong, flat movie in which he's hitting his "women as victims" a theme a bit more lightly, but which lacks an edge and does nothing to keep us from guessing the ending, pretty much based on the title.

Mizzou locker room playlist: "Cry me
a Missouri river."
The amount of swag that basketball game had was unlike any other swag I've ever seen.
I have more battle scars from the game than I do from the party after the game.
Is it just me or does Centennial Jay look like Admiral Ackbar?
It's the Missouri v. KU game. If you have to bring a flask to have a good time, you probably are an alcoholic.
I am thoroughly disappointed in the season ticket holders who sold their tickets to Missouri fans.
The only thing that would make KU better is if there was tetherball on Wesco Beach.
A haiku for all. Three wise men smoking. Honey is the bacon of all things sugary.
Is anyone else worried about the giant pythons taking over Florida?
Wait, you mean we've been rivals with a school that's got no national championships? Time to move on.
Found a note to myself from ten years ago. It read "Never go see the Ying Yang Twins" Huh.
You can call me "Judy" cause I'm Judging you right now.
When I'm alone at Mrs E's I like to pretend I'm eating with a six and a half foot rabbit named Harvey.
Was I born ready? No. I was born crying,
but 10 minutes later. I was ready.
If a zombie attack happens in Vegas...does it stay in Vegas?
The Mizzou pre-game stretching routine strangely resembles the beginning of my dance classes. When I was eight.
I cheered so loud at the game that I got a nosebleed.
I need a massage after how stressful that same was.
You should dream to have musicology, not classics. GTAs come to your party. We also know Latin and have a much larger repertoire of drinking songs.
Mizzou still wanting to play us is like an ex still wanting to go on out dates after breaking up with you.
As a redditor, I would consider it too personal to ask someone their Reddit username.
The Engineering Expo should not have let Mizzou fans into the event, even if they were middle schoolers. Just saving.
Show up to games no matter the opponent
Lottery. For many of the University's dedicated student basketball fans, this means early mornings, a crowded Fieldhouse and either elation or pure disappointment depending on the draw of each individual group.
By Ryan Schlesener
rschlesener@kansan.com
But recently, a change was proposed to the traditional system. Trey Johnson, a junior from Leawood, who is incharge of camping said that the change would have given lottery preference for the Feb. 25 Missouri game to the the 24 groups who
missed one or less lotteries all season while student housing facilities were open. This would automatically put those groups in the top 24 camping spots.
nobody disagreed with it then. According to Johnson, the idea was to reward those groups who get up early and come to lottery for each and every game, not just the big ones.
"Show up. Come to lotteries whether we're playing Florida Atlantic, Oklahoma State or Missouri. This is our basketball team. Let's be the kind of fans they deserve."
The initiative
has been voted on five separate times, passing each time, and was up for the final vote before the beginning of the Missouri lottery on Feb. 19. It failed for the first time by a vote of 53-51.
Johnson also said that the idea was mentioned to all groups who attended the first lottery and
for argument has been for freshmen who don't know how the lottery works at the beginning of the season.
Some groups who opposed this new incentive said that it's not fair to groups who weren't at the first lottery and didn't know that it would be implemented. Another reason
Fieldhouse Scratch-off Match 3 jayhawks and win good seats! Lottery Ticket
Because of this debate, a Twitter war has engaged over the past week, attacking both the official and unofficial Twitter accounts for KU Basketball Camping.
Fieldhouse Scratch-off
Match 3 jayhawks and win good seats!
Lottery Ticket
Johnson runs the official account.
Those opposed have called it "favoritism" and a "disgrace to democracy."
This is simply not true. It is not favoritism when every single group had the opportunity to attend each lottery and made the choice not to. Because of this the student section has been less active this season, and according to Johnson.
"We have had some pretty weak student sections this year," Johnson said.
This seems like a perfectly logical policy to me and something that should have been in place
for years now. It doesn't seem fair that those groups who come out bright and early for each and every lottery could be stuck sitting behind groups who are at their first lottery simply because it's a big game against Missouri.
Whatever happened to supporting your team no matter how good they were or who they are playing? To me, that is the definition of being a fan.
No, my group doesn't qualify for this bonus since we missed two lotteries, which is one more than the cutoff. But I'm still in favor of passing this for years to come. The University has a great basketball program and several great traditions. Unfortunately many of the fans here seem to be fair weather or big game only fans.
ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN BENEDICK
To those groups out there complaining about this rule, I simply offer one solution. Show up. Come to lotteries whether we're playing Florida Atlantic, Oklahoma State or Missouri. This is our basketball team. Let's be the kind of fans they deserve.

CULTURE
College is a gift, not a requirement
Last semester, I took a cultural anthropology course. The professor was very knowledgeable, organized and well-spoken. The course taught me a lot about societal constructions and cultural and structural differences. But for whatever reason, our professor rubbed some students the wrong way.
Many of my classmates were frustrated with his teaching style. We took a few two or three-hour Blackboard exams, occasional quizzes and read a few ethnographies. Comparatively, the work load was on par with most 100-level courses I have taken during my undergraduate career. Maybe even less so.
Complaints about the course reigned supreme in our discussions. From a senior's perspective, the course's requirements were structured cleanly and the readings were pretty straightforward. But the attitudes that arose in our class were truly telling.
By Brett Salsbury
bsalsbury@kansan.com
There seems to be a profound difference in attitudes, from one extreme to the other, in terms of how to approach a college education. I saw the experience of enrolling in college as a necessary step to growing older. The opportunity to work instead of going to school never seemed like a plausible option. It always was, but what middle-class high school student surrounded by a peer group of soon-to-be college students will take that route very seriously in today's culture?
The profound difference lies in the viewpoint we see college from; essentially, we see college as something we have to do versus something we want to do. This very basic foundation shapes the way we see professors, assignments, leadership opportunities and our studying habits. My own viewpoint on this foundation has evolved in the past four years to reflect my growing awareness of this difference.
Many factors influence this distinction. Paying for college is a large one; it's likely that anyone who doesn't pay for their
own education may tend to put less weight into its eventual outcome. Another factor is whether one is approaching college life from the perspective that his or her degree will positively influence his or her life's direction. From an economic standpoint, the constant rhetoric we are bombarded with that a liberal arts degree is not worth the debt it imbibes can result in a student caring less about his schoolwork. This may also lead some students to prematurity graduate because they don't want to accrue more debt after being told how worthless it may end up being.
We can't forget that college is a fun experience. It is a tool for maturation. It is an opportunity for self-discovery and meeting other like-minded people. These purposes are so often clouded by the fact that many of us feel that schoolwork, tests and readings are inconveniences. The attitudes stemming from my anthropology course are a direct result of this societal viewpoint that pursuing a college degree is an expectation.
If we all thought more uniformly about college as a wanted experience rather than a required one, our experiences would be very different. Perhaps diverse viewpoints help remind those of us who take the opportunity more seriously of the alternative: feeling inconvenienced. But any time you find yourself complaining about your schoolwork, take a step back. Remind yourself why you are here. And also remember that if you haven't exactly figured that out yet, that's okay, too.

Fictional characters show their support
Many actors show support for certain causes. What if our favorite television and movie characters did too?
Recently, actor Michael Kenneth Williams, from HBO's "The Wire", released an ad in Maryland for marriage equality. While Williams might not be well-known outside of people who like TV shows about crumbling public institutions, his portrayal of gay stick-up man Omar Little has earned him a special place in the hearts of Marylanders. He even tells them to vote for marriage equality or else "Omar gonna come at you."
This kind of political endorsement opens all kinds of doors. The following is a list of fictional characters and the political issues they might support.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Tyler Durden - Healthcare Reform: In "Fight Club", Tyler Durden was just an ordinary office worker until insomnia forced him to create an alter ego, which he then used to commit random acts of small-scale terrorism before finally destroying the credit card industry. And who hasn't been there, right? Let's face it, hospital bills are hard to pay, especially when you're letting strangers beat you up in the basement of a dive bar. That's why Tyler Durden asks you to support healthcare reform or he'll force you to examine the meaninglessness of your life.
Kernit the Frog - Journalistic Integrity: Most people don't know this, but Kermit the Frog actually got his start as a reporter on "Sesame Street." Even though he's now in charge of a theater
troupe consisting of humans, animals and whatever Gonzo is, he is still deeply involved in the journalistic world. It saddens him to see the lack of attention important issues are receiving. With the presidential election in November, Kermit is calling on news sources everywhere to really examine the candidates instead of turning the campaigns into a horse race.
Jean-Luc Picard - Foreign Aid: Captain Picard spent his career in Starfleet roaming the galaxy, meeting and occasionally getting kidnapped by various alien cultures. He understands the importance of other cultures and the benefits of helping them. Picard knows that the only way to build stable partnerships with foreign countries is through aid and assistance, even if they're strange, omnipotent aliens who toy with us for their amusement.
Tony Soprano - Why Don't You Just Mind Your Own Business, Okay?: Tony Soprano is a legitimate businessman and has no interest in politics. Quite frankly, Tony Soprano thinks it's ridiculous you would say that he has somehow influenced local
elections. Tony Soprano wonders if maybe you have a prejudice against Italian-Americans. In the future, Tony Soprano would like you to contact him at his place of business instead of showing up at his home unannounced. Why are you asking so many questions, anyway? You a cop or something? Leave Tony Soprano alone.
The Bride - Environmentalism: While trying to kill Bill in "Kill Bill," the enigmatic assassin, known mostly as the Bride, had to cut her way through countless bodyguards and relied on deadly skills she had honed over a storied career. However, her real passion is environmentalism. While the subject never came up during her quest to kill her former mentor, the Bride believes the Earth is our gift to future children and that it should be preserved at all costs. Now that the Bride has found out her own child is still alive and not, as she thought, killed in the womb during the attempt on her life, she has redoubled her efforts into preserving the nature world and asks that you do the same.
These are just a few of the many endorsements coming in from fictional characters Remember,the important thing is not what you support,but how cool the person asking you to support it is.

Amendment regarding off-campus jurisdiction fails
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
An amendment to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities that would have broadened the University's ability to discipline students off campus failed in the Student Senate Student Rights Committee last week. But the issue may come up again during the full Senate meeting this Wednesday.
Article 20 of the code currently states that the University can't institute disciplinary actions against students who violate the code unless it occurs on University-owned property or at University-sponsored or supervised events. The change would grant the University the ability to do so if an alleged violation "has had or may have an adverse affect on the health, safety, or security of any member of the University community." Either way, the article would still allow the University to take disciplinary action as required by federal, state or local law.
Supporters of the amendment say that it would allow the University to better follow federal Title IX requirements in protecting
students from sexual harassment and violence. According to an open letter by the US Department of Education, "Schools may have an obligation to respond to student-on-student sexual harassment that initially occurred off school grounds, outside a school's education program or activity"
Last year, the article was changed to require the University to expand their jurisdiction in accordance to the law Jane Tuttle, the assistant vice provost for student success, said this year the University wanted to broaden the language to help it fulfill its obligations to student safety.
"The Office of Civil Rights made it clear to universities that we had responsibilities for off-campus incidents of sexual violence that ultimately impact the student on campus," Tuttle said.
Tuttle also noted that Kansas is a part of only a handful of higher education institutions that don't have some form of off-campus jurisdiction. The University is currently the only Big 12 institution that doesn't have this. Tuttle said the goal is to shape the code after the model code prescribed by
Edward Stoner and John Wesley Lowery, experts in the field of higher education policy.
"It's best practice in higher education," Tuttle said. "The intention is to have community standards and that students are treated consistently."
But while broadening the University's jurisdiction to off-campus violations could allow it to better serve students, according to the language of the amendment, it could also allow the University to discipline students for non-campus related issues.
During the rights committee meeting last Wednesday, committee chair Aaron Harris expressed deep concern over this change, saying that because the University already has the authority to take disciplinary action to fulfill its obligations, the amendment is unnecessary.
"To tell us that you cannot do your job because our code keeps you from it although federal law is telling you that you need to do this, is asinine," Harris said. "KU students have a unique position on this campus. We are an integrated
Amendments to clarify and update the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities will grant students expanded protections from University disciplinary action pending approval by the full Student Senate on Wednesday. The code provides guidelines to students' rights on campus and specifies under what conditions the University can discipline students who violate it.
Here is how the four amendments will affect students' rights.
Amendment 1: Introduction
the situation. It also clarifies that only students living in University-owned and operated housing units are subject to the Department of Student Housing's regulations.
Amendment I: Introduction
Students who fail to comply with University policies and regulations may be subject to disciplinary action based on
Amendment 2: Article 8 (Campus Expression)
This will expand students' freedom of speech to "views that are communicated through, but not limited to, oral, written, and/or electronic means of communication."
Amendment 3: Article 16 (Publications)
According to the Senate's student rights committee, this article contained redundant language about the freedom
part of this university. However, when we step off campus, we don't always represent the university in everything we do. If I do something stupid out of town, I don't think it should reflect on me as a student, it should reflect on me as a person."
Harris also believes that conforming to other institutions' poli-
of expression through student media that can be taken out. The statewide Kansas Student Publications Act provides much of the same protection to student media.
Amendment 4. Article 19 (Privacy)
Instead of stating that students have "the same rights of privacy as any other person, and surrender none of these rights by becoming members of the academic community," the amendment clarifies this, assuring students their "rights of privacy against unreasonable entry, searches and seizures." It also makes sure the University gives 24 hours notice before entering a student's University-managed living quarters even during academic breaks.
The Senate will be voting on the four amendments that did pass the student rights committee. According to Harris, the amendment to Article 20 of the code can still be brought up and passed. Any changes to the code passed by the Senate must be approved
cies shouldn't be a reason to amend the code.

Actual cost of the 2010 BP oil spill to be determined in trial
— Edited by Max Lush
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — On the cusp of trial over the catastrophic 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, phalanxes of lawyers, executives and public officials have spent the waning days in settlement talks. Holed up in small groups inside law offices, war rooms and hotel suites in New Orleans and Washington, they are trying to put a number on what BP and its partners in the doomed Macondo well project should pay to make up
for the worst offshore spill in U.S. history.
It is a complex equation, and the answer is proving elusive.
The federal government, Gulf states, plaintiffs' attorneys, BPPLC, rig owner Transocean Ltd. and cementer Halliburton Energy Services Inc. have been in simultaneous and separate negotiations in New Orleans, according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks and others who had been briefed on them.
Trial is set for Monday, and by
Friday, no deal had been reached, several people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The biggest stumbling block appeared to be the sheer size and sprawling uncertainty over the unprecedented dollar amounts at stake.
Financial analysts estimate BP's potential settlement payout at $15 billion to roughly $30 billion. The company itself estimated it would cost about $41 billion in the weeks after the explosion to account for
all of its costs, including cleanup compensating businesses, and paying fines and ecological damage.

"This one is off the charts in terms of size and significance," said Eric Schaeffer, the director of the Environmental Integrity Project in Washington and former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Regulatory Enforcement.

BP has to weigh its chances of getting off cheaper by piecing together a sweeping settlement or put its fate in the hands of one man, a federal judge who will hear testimony in lieu of a jury. If the judge sides with plaintiffs on the amount of oil spilled and determines BP was grossly negligent, the company conceivably could face up to $52 billion in environmental fines and compensation alone, according to an AP analysis.
While such a scenario is unlikely, it illustrates the broad range and staggering sums at play.
No matter what, the case is all but guaranteed to set records as the most expensive environmental disaster in history, far surpassing the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989. Exxon ultimately settled with the U.S. government for $1 billion, which would be about $1.8 billion today.
If BP settles, it's almost certain to dwarf previous deals the U.S. has reached with corporate offenders in any industry. That record now stands at $2.3 billion against Pfizer Inc. in 2009 to settle claims over the painkiller Bextra, according to the Justice Department.
And once the civil case is resolved, depending on the scope of any settlement, BP still could face criminal fines; penalties for violations of oil pollution, clean water and wildlife protection laws;
and still-pending economic losses due to the partial shutdown of the Gulf, Morgan Stanley analysts estimated criminal fines would come in between $5 billion and $15 billion in any eventual settlement.
Robert Wiygul, an environmental lawyer in New Orleans who represents spill plaintiffs but is not involved in the settlement talks, said putting a dollar figure on what is the right sum for BP to pay is extremely difficult.
"There is going to be a lot of voodoo there," he said.
The bill will be commensurate to the magnitude of the disaster: An epic engineering failure that highlighted the dangers of drilling in extreme conditions miles from shore and miles under water.
The April 20, 2010, blowout of BP's deepwater Macondo well killed 11 workers and injured 17. The burning drilling rig Deepwater Horizon toppled and sank to the Gulf floor, where it sits today.

It took engineers 85 days to permanently cap the well. By then, more than 200 million gallons of oil leaked from the well and had covered much of the northern half of the Gulf of Mexico — endangering fisheries, killing marine life and shutting down offshore oil drilling operations.
About 900 miles of shoreline were fouled and beaches were closed for months. The spill forced President Barack Obama in June 2010 to make his first Oval Office speech, in which he called the BP spill "the worst environmental disaster the nation has ever faced."
Under the Clean Water Act, which is designed to punish companies and prevent future spills, a polluter pays a minimum of $1,100 per barrel of spilled oil; the fines nearly quadruple for companies found guilty of grossly negligent behavior. Under this statute, BP could owe $5 billion to $21 billion. Transocean and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., a minority owner of the Macondo well, also face paying hefty fines.
One of the biggest questions facing U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, a maritime law expert presiding over the trial, will be to determine if BP was guilty of gross negligence.
There are several arguments that BP is likely to make. The company could say the amount it pays should be much lower because it has spent billions on cleanup already and provided $1 billion for early ecosystem restoration. BP may say the spill's effects were minimized by the Gulf's warm waters, oil-eating bacteria and other factors.
The Gulf has been soiled by past pills and natural oil seeps, so the oil giant could say it's too hard to pinpoint what is BP damage and what isn't, said Mark Davis, a Tulane University law professor who specializes in water resources.
At trial, BP will try to spread blame to the other companies and try to convince the judge that what happened at the Macondo well was an accident, not an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

For a 15 minute span, Missouri hit 17 of 23 shots while Kansas' offense sputtered. Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey, who turned his ankle early in the game, both picked up two fouls in the first half. The silent fear of the Fieldhouse, from the Kansas bench to the student section, was tangible.
"Missouri players played with house money," Self said. "We came out there trying to protect as opposed to go take."
With Robinson and Withey on the bench, Self played junior forward Kevin Young for 28 minutes and senior guard Conner Teahan for 37.

Taliban insurgent retaliation sparks concern among allies
ASSOCITAED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide car bomber struck early Monday at the gates of Jalalabad airport in eastern Afghanistan, officials said, killing nine people in an attack insurgents said was revenge for U.S. troops burning Qurans.
The explosion comes after six days of deadly protests in Afghanistan over the disposal of Qurans and other Islamic texts in a burn pit last week at a U.S. military base north of the capital.
American officials have called the incident a mistake and issued a series of apologies. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has urged calm, saying that Afghans should not let the insurgents capitalize on their indignation to spark violence.
Monday's attack appeared to be a sign that the Taliban are seizing the opportunity to do just that.
The bomber drove up to the gates of the airport — which
serves both civilian and international military aircraft — shortly after dawn and detonated his explosives in a "very strong" blast, said Nangarhar provincial police spokesman Hazrad Mohammad.
Among the dead were six civilians, two airport guards and one soldier, Mohammad said. Another six people were wounded, he said.
An AP photographer saw at least four destroyed cars at the gates of the airport.
NATO forces spokesman Capt. Justin Brockhoff said that no international forces were killed in the early morning attack and that the installation was not breached by the blast.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying a suicide car bomber had driven up to the airport gate and detonated his explosives as international forces were changing from night to morning guard duty.
"This attack is revenge against those soldiers who burned our Quran," Taliban spokesman
Zabiullah Mujahid said in an email.
More than 30 people have been killed in protests and related attacks since the incident came to light this past Tuesday, including four U.S. soldiers.
On Sunday, demonstrators hurled grenades at a small U.S. base in northern Afghanistan and the ensuing gun battle left two Afghans dead and seven NATO troops injured.
Still, the top U.S. diplomat in Afghanistan said Sunday that the violence would not change Washington's course.
"Tensions are running very high here, and I think we need to let things calm down, return to a more normal atmosphere, and then get on with business," Ambassador Ryan Crocker told CNN.
The incident prompted NATO, Britain and France to recall hundreds of international advisers from all Afghan ministries in the capital.

GAME DAY
Former football player paints final showdown
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Emotions ran high at Saturday's Kansas men's basketball game, and while many spectators savored the moment in Allen Fieldhouse, one man was busy emulating it on canvas.
John Bukaty, a former University football player painted "The Final Battle of the Border War" live court-side as the game unfolded.
"If we lose, I'm going to burn it on Mass. Street," Bukaty joked before the game. "I am way more nervous to watch the game than I am to paint. I do this all the time, but this game will only happen once. It's historical."
Bukaty thinks Saturday's game was the last time the Jayhawks will play Missouri in regular season play, and as a live artist and avid Jayhawks fan, he couldn't think of a better way to spend his afternoon.
"I think it's pretty impressive."
Chelsea Steel, a junior from Gladstone, Mo., said. "He can just stand there and do that in the middle of all this craziness."
The original painting will be donated to the University to keep in Allen Fieldhouse. An additional 600 prints will be signed by Bill Self and numbered by Bukaty. The prints will be sold on Bukaty's website, www.johnbukaty.com, and part of the profits will go to Self's charity, Assists Foundation, which provides funding to various youth initiatives.
Though the most memorable part of the game is the win, Bukaty said it's important for him to capture the entire game as a moment in time.
"It's about both teams, the venue, and the crowd all as one," Bukaty said. "It's about this moment in time, what people are wearing, who they're with and their excitement."
Eric Eisman, a sophomore from Independence, Mo., said he was
glad someone was able to recreate the moment.
"To be able to witness the game in person was indescribable," Eisman said. "You really could sense the energy and emotion and I am impressed that anyone was able to capture the moment and put it in color on canvas."
After the game, Bukaty said he was thrilled with his decision to paint the game.
"I didn't doubt us at half-time," Bukaty said, "I tried to smash all my negative thoughts, but man, I couldn't have dreamed it any better. I was even a little shaky at the end."
Prints will go on sale within the next two weeks. There are 500 20-inch-by-15-inch prints available for $100 each, and there are 100 40-inch-by-30-inch prints available for $1,000 each.

Perhaps the most ridiculous thing about Kansas' victory on Saturday was that everything about it was ridiculous.
With a little over 16 minutes left in the game, Missouri guard Marcus Denmon hit a three with nobody guarding him to put his team up 19 points — again, 19 points — in Allen Fieldhouse. The shot felt like a dagger to Kansas fans. Kansas would need everything to go its way to come back.

COMMENTARY
Missouri fans started composing their smack-talking texts to send to their jayhawk buddies. Kansas fans started thinking about their replies. The joke about Missouri fans only playing 14 holes in golf because the Tigers haven't been to the Final Four would've been used as a defense thousands of times. The fans in yellow shirts in the Fieldhouse, many of them branded with the SEC logo, stood and screamed, anticipating a victory in the "final" regular season battle in the Border War.
A second half for the ages
The game was in the Tigers' hands. Kansas fans would probably go to their grave hearing about how Missouri beat Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse when everything was on the line. But the great thing about basketball is that the players don't really have time to think about all that.
This game was so ridiculous that Kansas didn't even need all 16 minutes that were left to make it a game again. The Jayhawks were one possession away from tying things up with 6:10 remaining.

And this game was so ridiculous that we might get to watch one like it again in 12 days at the Sprint Center. Buckle up.
And this game was so ridiculous because Denmon just wouldn't give up. He hit a three with 3:50 left in overtime to close Kansas' four-point lead to one. He hit another with 39 seconds left to give the Tigers the lead again. Tyshawn Taylor would give Kansas the lead again on a perfectly-executed backdoor cut and dunk.
Denmon, whose swagger could not be contained, came back down the floor and hit a short jumper to retake the lead. Kansas had 12 seconds to secure one of the final blows in the Border War.
This game was so ridiculous that Missouri guard Marcus Denmon nearly ended it with a 25-foot heave with 33 seconds left in regulation. He could've been the next Ali Farokhmanesh. But his shot rattled the rim and Kansas got the ball down three points.

KANSAS RUNS COLD
KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
The lajhwaks knew what was coming. Friday night they hosted the undefeated No. 1 Baylor Bears and lost 76-45 in a game where they looked lost from start to finish.
Kansas had just three points when the clock ticked below six minutes in the first half. Junior guard Angel Goodrich had all Kansas' points after a floater in the lane at the 16:55 mark and a free throw 10 minutes later in the first half. Baylor built a 22-point lead before freshman forward Chelsea Gardner scored again for Kansas. Those two combined for 14 of the teams' 16 points in the first half.
Goodrich scored six of the first eight points and served as a spark for the struggling laj Hawks.
"You have to go in there with a purpose," Goodrich said. "If you don't have a purpose then why are you out there?"
Kansas shot just one of 14 in the first 14 minutes with the lone basket coming from Goodrich. The Jayhawks also had four air balls and two shot clock violations during the stretch. Kansas finished the game shooting 26.9 percent from the floor and allowed Baylor to shoot 57.4 percent.
"When I see something like that I feel like I have to do something more, but we just have to stick together," Goodrich said.
Baylor junior forward Brittney Griner led the attack with 20 points and eight rebounds. Junior guard Kimetria Hayden and sophomore guard Odyssey Sims followed with 16 and 15 points respectively.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson talked about how Griner's length affects an opponent's offense and defense. Griner had four blocks and an assist to round out her stat sheet in 28 minutes before she went to the bench early in the second half.
"We have to adjust to Brittney Griner and just do different things than we normally do," Gardner
The Jayhawks had trouble making those adjustments and were down 38 points in the second half before going on an 8-0 run with Griner taking a breather on the bench. Griner then entered the game and led a 14-0 run for Baylor. She was responsible for the half of the points in the paint where
said.
Baylor outscored Kansas 40-18.
The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and combined for 12 turnovers and 14 rebounds off 39 missed shots. Henrickson said the team was missing calls and not lining up correctly on several possessions throughout the game.
"When we call plays you've got to know what you're doing, you
have to be dialed in and focused." Hendrickson said.
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland made one shot in the game for her lowest scoring effort of the season. She hit just one of 15 shots.
Kansas did get some bounce from younger players in sophomore guard CeCe Harper and
freshman guard Asia Boyd who are both receiving increasing minutes. Harper had five points and three rebounds in 34 minutes, but offered support to Goodrich on the wing guarding Sims. Boyd tied a career-high with seven points in 22 minutes.

Early setback doesn't derail Kansas

ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team dropped two close games in a row Friday and Saturday against Mississippi State. But the Jayhawk bats' broke out in a big way Sunday against Mississippi Valley State.
Kansas (5-2) defeated the Green Devils 14-1 in seven innings, and the offensive spurt all began with a 10-run first inning.
The layhaws entered the bottom half of the first inning trailing 1-0 after freshman pitcher Drew Morovick surrendered one run on a Joseph Germaine RBI single. The deficit would be short-lived as senior third baseman Zae Elicang connected with Kameron Study's 0-2 delivery, blasting the fastball over the left field wall. The three-run shot gave Kansas a 4-1 lead.
"I was pretty excited." Elgie said of the homer. "I've been waiting awhile this year to hit the ball square, and it happened to go out this time. Hopefully we can build on this heading into next weekend."
After starting the season 4-0 for the first time in five years,the
Jayhawks tasted the first defeat of the season this weekend. Even in the two losses, the Kansas pitching continued to impress, giving up four runs total. However, the Jayhawks left 14 runners on base and scored just one run.
In baseball, it can take just one game for an offense to break out, and Kansas coach Ritch Price said that Sunday's performance was a good place to start.
The early flock of run support took all the pressure off Morovick in his first career start. The 6-foot-6 right-hander from Hemet, Calif., has been the most impressive starter in the intra-squad scrimages, and he showed that same ability Sunday against MVSU.
"I thought it was very important that we took a step forward," Price said. "We finally put together some quality at bats and took advantage with runners in scoring position."
"He has very good command, pitches down in the zone and has the ability to throw a slider for strikes," Price said. "He was as good today as he's been in our intra-squads."
Morovick went five innings,
allowing just that first-inning run on three hits, and he struck out seven.
For the first time this season, Price had the opportunity to give the younger bench players some early game experience. Hitting in place for Elgie, freshman third baseman Joey Luvisi did not wait long to make an impact in his Kansas career.
Luvisi ripped a three-run homerun on a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall. The homer came in Luvisi's first-career at bat, and the no-doubt shot traveled more than 350 feet. Luvisi returned to the dugout greeted by an excited Jayhawk team, and Eligie even had some advice for the freshman .
"It was great," Elgie said. "I was laughing and gave him a hard time. I told him that it really only goes downhill from there."
The bats will look to keep momentum going next weekend as Kansas continues its season Friday at University of Texas-San Antonio.

The women's track and field team proved that they are among the elite in the conference this weekend at the Big 12 Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas.
In finishing third to Texas and conference champion Texas A&M, the Jayhawks established that some of the athletes on this team are among the best in the nation.
The Jayhawks had an impressive 19-point lead over the Texas A&M Aggies in the Big 12 title race following the first day of competition.
Thanks to the achievements of juniors Francine Simpson and Andrea Geubelle winning first and second place in the long jump competition, respectively. Senior Alena Krechyk set a new school record of 68 feet and 3 inches with a second place finish in the weight throw. Sophomore Demi Payne came just shy of the Big 12 pole vault crown, as Texas A&M senior Laura Asimakis cleared the mark of 13 feet and 11.25 inches on the last vault of the day to win the title.
The long jump title is the first conference title of Francine Simpson's career. The last championship for
Kansas in the indoor long jump was 2008.
"God gave me the strength to get that one jump and that one jump made me win," Simpson said.
Before the women's 4x400 meter race, junior Paris Daniels made it clear that Kansas was not going to be intimidated by the programs with more respect and recognition.
"The thing is, we want to beat Texas A&M so bad because they are put on this pedestal like they are the best," Daniels said. "We want to beat the best."
It was Kansas that stood on the pedestal Saturday night as they were
awarded the Big 12 crown in the 4x400 meter race. The time of three minutes, 31.36 seconds not only beat the Texas A&M relay team by just 0.18 seconds but is also the fastest time in Big 12 history. It is also the eighth fastest ever in the NCAA. Four of the five fastest times have come out of the Big 12 this season, with the time recorded. The four women that ran for the Jayhawks in the title winning race were sophomore Diamond Dixon, junior Taylor Washington, junior Paris Daniels and senior Danesha Morris.
One title was not enough for Diamond Dixon. She also won the
400-meter dash, which gives her one in both the indoor and outdoor 400-meter race. It was her best time of the meet and was good enough for an automatic qualification to the NCAA nationals.
The team secured another title in the women's triple jump as Geubelle unleashed a few of the biggest jumps seen in the NCAA this season. With a final jump of 44 feet and 07 inches Geubelle won the crown, automatically qualified for nationals and had the longest jump in the NCAA this season. The jump ranks Geubelle third in the United States in the triple jump.
"Everyone came together and fought well as a team, so it was close with Texas and Texas A&M. We just have to continue to work hard to get better," coach Stanley Redwine said. "On the men's side, unfortunately, we didn't do as well as we expected to. I believe there were too many mental errors, not enough focus, but the points we got were hard-fought points."
The men's team finished in last place. The top finisher for the team was sophomore Alex Bishop's third place effort in the pole vault.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Chelsea Gardner, freshman forward
After struggling through the past few games, Gardner showed some sign of development as a post player on Friday.
She accumulated eight points and a career-high eight rebounds against a physical and disruptive Baylor defensive lineup. This was also Gardner's third straight start at the five spot for the Kansas starting rotation. Although she has not played at the same level as junior forward Carolyn Davis, she continues to show improvement.
In order for the Jayhawks to become a NCAA tournament team Gardner will have to string together a few more solid appearances.

From the beginning of the game it appeared facing up against Baylor's Brittney Griner would be a tough task for all on the Kansas roster.
But no one struggled more than Sutherland. In her 32 minutes of play Sutherland posted a one for 15 showing from the floor and managed only seven rebounds, both below her season averages.

RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Kansas was just another obstacle, for No.1 Baylor on Friday night in an obviously overmatched game.
The main reason?
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey also added to the discussion on the chance for perfect campaign.
"We're just focused on finishing our conference first and then we'll think about the tournament," Griner said.
The main reason
Junior 6-foot-8 post player

But at the moment, the Lady Bears are focused on getting better rather than an undefeated season.
"That hasn't been a goal of
urses; it's not on the goal board,"
Mulkey said. "It's the last six games we're focusing on and those are the last six games of the NCAA Tournament."
"That's very frustrating because that's on us," Angel Goodrich said. "That's when you have to change. You have to come in and be like 'what can I do better to get on the right track.'"
For Baylor, it's accomplished all it can during the Big 12 regular season.
The Lady Bears wrapped up the conference season title against Texas on Tuesday. At this point it's about keeping the team healthy and preparing for the Big 12 tournament.
On her birthday the 5-foot-4 junior guard proved to be the only player able to look past Griner. She ended up with 14 points.
game, but the layhawks were more frustrated with the poor execution when Griner wasn't near the ball.
What Baylor takes the most pride in now is making sure its defense continues to stay sharp. In fact, there are times that Baylor doesn't even work on offense during preparation for their next opponent.
"You can come to our practices and see that there are days we don't even do anything offensively and we take a lot of pride in that." Mulkey said.
The Bears showed that pride Friday by holding the Jayhawks to under 27 percent field goal per-
ceilage. The Jayhawks only had forward Chelsea Gardner to stand up to Griner, which proved to be too much of a task for the freshman.
But this strategy forced Kansas out of their normal offensive comfort zone with the Jayhawks only making its second basket of the game at the 5:55 mark of the first half.
centage.
Throughout the game, the Jayhawks used the full shot clock to avoid giving too many possessions to the Lady Bears.
"I just had to adjust my shot, I usually work on the inside, but tonight I had to work on my jump shot, instead of driving to the basket," Gardner said.
Although the outcome of the game might have been imminent from the beginning, the layhawks must make sure bad habits do not develop from this game.
She finished the game with eight points and eight rebounds.
Although Griner finished below her average statistics, it was clear her impact could be felt by the Jayhawks.
"There are some things that let us down today that will affect us if we try to do them against Oklahoma State," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There are some things we have to be able to clean up and execute on Wednesday."
The frustration of Griner's presence was obvious throughout the

GAME TO REMEMBER
Tvshawn Tavlor. Senior guard
In the most important conference game of Taylor's four-year career, he did it all. Most importantly, down 86-85 with 8.8 seconds to play, he drew a foul and hit both free throws. On Feb. 4 at Mizzou Arena, Taylor missed two free throws in the final minute. This time he couldn't make the same mistake.
M.
Taylor
GAME TO FORGET
Jeff Withey, Junior center
After he was held scoreless at Mizzou Arena, Withey hurt his ankle, got into foul trouble and scored two points in nine minutes at Allen Fieldhouse. Coach Frank Haith suggested that Withey couldn't hang with the speed of his four-guard lineup. Going into overtime, Self asked Withey could win the tipoff despite his ankle. Withey hesisted and that's all Self needed to know. His night was done.

- With the last scheduled meeting with Mizzou behind them, the Jayhawks ended the series with a 172-95 advantage.
- KU's comeback from down 19 in the second half was the largest second-half comeback in school history.
- Tyshawn Taylor's nine points in overtime were the most by a Kansas player since RaeLafrenz scored nine against Missouri in 1997.

show.
Kansas came back from 19 points in the second half and forced overtime. Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon hit a floater along the baseline to give the Tigers an 86-85 lead with 12 seconds left.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson inbounded the ball while Taylor was peering up at the video board for a quick check of the time. The ball bounced a few feet past Taylor, leaving the nearly 16,300 fans in attendance momentarily gasping for breath.

Kansas almost never had a final chance to score, however.

not unlike the final seconds in the first game against Missouri. But with the crowd holding its arms in the air in silent support of the four-year starter, Taylor coolly knocked down both attempts to give the Jayhawks the lead, 87-86.
"He got fouled," Self said. "And for him to make the two free throws in the same scenario that he missed them in Columbia, I thought that was good for him."
In the timeout moments before Denmon's bucket, coach Bill Self told his team to "go flat" on offense if Missouri scored, meaning he wanted everyone but Taylor to spread out along the baseline to give their point guard room to operate.
With just 12 seconds on the clock, there wasn't much time to think.
"We have to go score and get a good shot, but get it as fast as possible," Taylor said of his thought process as he received the pass. "I just put my head down and saw a little seam and attacked."
He was fouled on a layup attempt,
"He was absolutely right," Taylor said of his friend's prediction. "It was the same team again, but not the same circumstances and I came through this time. Words can't describe how I feel."

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
Wait, there's another game to be played? After this weekend, you're excused if you happened to forget about Monday's visit to Stillwater, Okla. But coach Bill Self knows about this potential trap. The no. 4 Jayhawks (24-5,14-2) won't practice after the tiring overtime game to rest some legs, but they'll show up in hopes of claiming an outright hold of the Big 12 title. The last time these teams met, Kansas won 81-66, keyed by a blowout first half. However during the conference season, the Cowboys are 6-2 at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Jeff Withey, junior center
Witheyturned his ankle in the Missouri game and played just nine mostly ineffective minutes. Withey said on Twitter that his foot is fine and he will play Monday.
YUEN HAI
Withey
but Self hinted after the game that he may limit Withey's minutes. We'll see how he responds, but his game relies on aggression. Will he be able to swarm Cowboys if he's not 100 percent?
QUESTION MARK
How much is left in the tank? Saturday's overtime game was a long day of emotion and physicality. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor played all but one of the 45 minutes. Will the Jayhawks be prepared or gassed by the time they arrive in Stillwater? Self may try to get guards Naadir Tharpe and Conner Teahan and forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley more playing time than usual. Although if the score is tight, Self may not have a chance to rest his key guys.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"If we could pick a game not to play on Big Monday, it would probably be that game."

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...

TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
Taylor played 44 of 45 minutes on Saturday and was involved in nearly every score. He finished with 24 points and hit the two biggest free throws of his life, avenging his misses at Mizzou Arena. No one questions Taylor's skill or heart. The question is, how much can he really play?
Withey
J
★★★★
Johnson made one of the best passes of the game on Saturday, feeding Robinson for a game-tying score at the end of regulation. He finished with eight assists and not a single turnover. Some may gripe about his average scoring totals. No matter, his improvements as a defender and passer have made Kansas a more dangerous team.
JOHN BLANKER
ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Releford looked downright bad as a shooter against the Tigers. He missed six of his seven shot attempts. However he continues to play pressure-filled defense, both on-the-ball and in transition, and he often tips or retrieves loose balls. His game isn't flashy, but it helps win games.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
After a few so-so performances, Robinson has reemerged as the favorite for national player of the year. He tallied 28 points and 12 rebounds against Missouri and blocked a game-winning shot attempt by sophomore guard Phil Pressey. Robinson shared words with Markel Brown at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season, so he should be pumped up for this one.
★★★☆☆
★★★☆☆
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
★★★★
Withey is the biggest area of concern after a blissful weekend for Kansas fans. His ankle injury seems to be not too serious, however an injury to a starter with a team this thin makes people worry. Withey will likely have to handle limited playing time and the thought that he can't worsen the injury.
★★★☆☆
OKLAHOMA ST (14-15,7-9) STARTERS
MARKEL BROWN, GUARD
The sophomore guard played in all 34 games last season as a freshman and is second on the team this season with 5.3 rebounds per game. He's also just the third Cowboy to average double figures this season with 10.7 points per game. He played all 40 minutes in the first game against Kansas and finished with 21 points.

KEITON PAGE. GUARD
Page had a career-high 40 points against Texas last Saturday with an impressive 20-for-20 afternoon from the free-throw line. He's had 29 and 15 point games since then and will definitely be a threat to put up big numbers tonight. He's scored 15 points or more in six of his last seven games.
ALEXANDER

BRIAN WILLIAMS, GUARD
Williams started in place of the injured Le'Bryant Nash in Saturday's 60-42 home victory over Texas A&M. He finished with 17 points and five rebounds in 37 minutes of action. Williams has started 16 games for the Cowboys this season and is averaging 8.5 points per game.
FRESNO
Williams
★★★☆☆
PHILIP JURICK, FORWARD
Jurick has only started 14 games this year but got the nod against Texas A&M Saturday. The junior-college transfer is in his first season at Oklahoma State and is third on the team with 5.2 rebounds per game. He played just five minutes in the first meeting with Kansas on Feb. 11.

MICHAEL COBBINS FORWARD
Cobbins isn't an offensive threat (5.5 points per game) but he leads the Cowboys with 5.7 rebounds per game. He played 37 minutes against Kansas earlier this month but was invisible for most of that time, finishing with just four points and four rebounds on 2-for-6 shooting.

AT A GLANCE
Oklahoma State is looking to get back to a .500 record this season with a victory over Kansas tonight in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys sit at 14-15 on the year and are seventh in the Big 12 at 7-9 in conference play. They had an impressive 18-point victory over Texas A&M at home Saturday but have struggled against the top teams in the conference this season, going 1-4 against Kansas, Missouri and Baylor. Things recently got worse for Cowboys fans, however. NewsOk.com reported that freshman guard and second-leading scorer Le'Bryan Nash is out indefinitely after apparently fracturing his left hand in Wednesday's loss at Oklahoma.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Keiton Page, guard
Page
Page
The senior guard grew up less than 30 miles from the Oklahoma State campus and has been a consistent starter since the latter part of
his freshman season in 2008-2009. He's averaged double figures each of the last three seasons and currently leads the Cowboys in scoring with 16.2 points per game. He's also started more games (27) than anyone else on the team.
Can "historic" Gallagher-Iba
Arena produce another upset?
Opened in 1938, it's the oldest basketball venue in the Big 12. It's known for its noise but its been said that since the renovation and raising of the roof in 2001, Gallagher-la hasn't been quite as loud. That hasn't stopped it from being a landmine for Bill Self, however, who's just 1-3 in the arena in his time at Kansas.
QUESTION MARK
"They basically have left it up to me. I'll decide on Monday. He really wants to play, but I'll decide on Monday what's best for him and we'll see."

THE MORNING BREW How to respond to and use sports terms
Q: Not counting the ones he has deleted, how many times has Taylor tweated as of 5 p.m. on Feb. 26?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: 9,688 tweets
3.
I just learned a few days ago that the phrase "saved by the bell" originated as a boxing metaphor. As a self-proclaimed wannabe Mrs. Zack Morris, you can see how this fact might have blown my '90s-sitcom-loving-mind.
Sports phrases are a tricky thing. There's a fine balance between using obvious lingo and speaking straight-up nonsense. As I've edited sports stories, I've been amazed by the creativity people have when it comes to describe one basic thing. For instance, the free throw line, otherwise known as the charity stripe, the foul line, the keyhole or the ever-so-ambiguous, line. I get it. It can get redundant using the same terms throughout an article. It is understandable, but it can get out of control.
Garbage time, kiss the rim, drop a dime, rip a c, coffin corner, saddle him up, stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey, bounced like a check, banjo hitter, duck
snort, keystone sack, rubber doorbell, bricklayer, serving it up with extra cheese... all of these are phrases used to describe certain sports actions; all except for three that I made up on

the spot. You see what I mean?
Don't get me wrong, the context makes all the difference. I'm sure if I saw a duck snort or banjo hitter occur, I'd only be able to describe it as such. But we all know that without context, we start making assumptions. And we all know what assumptions can lead to... that's right, making us look like a fool. (Not what you thought I was going to say was it? That's because you assumed. Boom.)
So naturally, unless you know exactly
what someone is talking about when they are saying someone ripped a c, here are a few words of advice as to how you can respond.
1. Take the old approach of being a follower. You know, like in elementary school when you'd secretly want to raise your hand
in gym class to vote to play parachute, but everyone else raised their hands to vote for dodgeball and you said, "Yeah, Dodgeball rocks!" Do that. Just yell, "Yeah, it's garbage time! You better believe it!" if everyone is yelling that around you.
2. Just "Woo!" It's simple. As some famous man (but I can't remember his name, so he obviously wasn't that famous) once said, "Simple is beautiful."
KU
3. Follow this formula a la mad libs:
a random noun plus a verb and conjugate to fit the situation. Such examples include, but are not limited to: He was chased by a hammer! His refrigerator was emptied! What a Poptart pileup! If you yell this with conviction, no one will confront you. For all they know this is the latest phrase and they didn't get the memo. Extra points if you can make a meaning up on the spot and convince others to use it. Let's be honest. The first guy to yell, "kiss the rim" received some funny looks the first time he yelled it, but who's laughing now?

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.

"I hope the changes in the MCAT is an opportunity for all institutions to look at more holistic measures for admissions." Chumlev said.
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along." Koetje said.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer; lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
course work.
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
"I hope the changes in the MCAT is an opportunity for all institutions to look at more holistic measures for admissions," Chumley said.
Koetje said students can find additional information at kaplan-cat.com, or by following @kaplan on twitter and "liking" Kaplan on facebook.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along," Koetje said.

ART DIRECTOR'S NOTE
BY HANNAH WISE
"FAR ABOVE THE GOLDEN VALLEY
GLOBICUS TO VIEW
STANDS OUR NOBLE ALMA MATER,
TOWERING TOWARD THE BLUE.
LIET THE CHORUS EVER ONWARD
LIFT THE CHORUS EVER ONWARD,
CRIMISON AND THE BLUE
HAIL TO THEE, OUR ALMA MATER
I HEE, OUR ALMA MATER
HAIL TO KU."
Those were the first words I heard associated with the University of Kansas. Before I stepped foot in Lawrence, I learned the KU Alma Mater and colored in the lines of the 1946 Jawhawk.
I did not know it then while living in the land of the Wichita State Shockers, but I know it now — I am a Jayhawk through and through.
Designing this magazine has been a labor of love. It has been a fanciating journey through the history of the Jayhawk as well as the history of the University. Justine and I hunted through countless images from the past 100 years.
The versions of the Jayha over the past 100 years paint an accurate picture of the world they hatched in. The 1912 Jayhawk is a creation of a peaceful, prosperous time. It is a gangly Jayhawk full of hope and enthusiasm.
As the Jayhawk grew up, it changed from a lanky bird to a ferocious fighter to the beloved character we know today. The Jayhawk is a symbol for students, faculty and alumni everywhere. Through blow-out wins and heartbreaking losses the Jay-
hawk is there.
I know after working on this magazine I have a greater appreciation for what the Jayhawk means to students, faculty, athletes and alumni.
This magazine could not have been accomplished without the tireless work and dedication of the archivists at the Spencer Research Library. They kindly responded to all of our requests for photos and artwork from the past 100 years.
With that, here's to you Big and Baby Jay. I cannot wait to see out my years here on the hill with you causing mischief around Allen Fieldhouse and down Jayhawk Boulevard.
I want to share the same love of the Jayhawks I had as a child with future generations.
Thanks to all the Jayhawks during the past 100 years who have made the University of Kansas my home.
EDITOR'S NOTE
BY JUSTINE PATTON
When I started working on this magazine, a question popped into my mind. What is a Jayhawk, exactly? Despite having attended the University of Kansas for the last four years, I never really stopped to think about the bird's origin. It was Google to the rescue, and within a few minutes, I found out that a Jayhawk is a combination of two birds
— the unruly, boisterous blue jay and the sneaky sparrow hawk. The mystery had been solved. However, a couple months later, I've realized the Jayhawk is so much more than just the mythical creature we call
our mascot.
KANSAS 1/2 UNIVERSITY KANSAS 10 12 KANSAS 1
The Jayhawk, instead, takes on many shapes, sizes and meanings.
Any student who trudges up and down the sidewalks of Jayhawk Boulevard during a torrential downpour to make it to class on time, or curls up in a comfy spot in the Anschutz Library stacks for a short nap during finals week, is a Jayhawk.
Any athlete who begins each season with a burning determination to win, dedicates sweat, tears and countless hours to a sport, and lives through the pain and triumph, is a Jayhawk.
Any fan who braves frigid winds and below-zero temperatures to camp out for front row seats at Allen Fieldhouse, or spends hours perfecting an over-the-top costume to sport at Memorial Stadium, is a Jawhawk.
Any Kansas professor who gives enthusiastic, engaging lectures that make students excited about their semesters ahead is a Jayhawk.
When freshmen take their first unsure steps on campus, they are Jayhawks. And when thousands of cap and gown-clad graduates — some teary, some ecstatic — walk through the Campanile, they are, and forever will be, Jayhawks.
But that's not all. Being a Jayhawk means belonging to a family — a family that stretches far beyond the county lines of Lawrence and comes together in support of the crimson and blue. This magazine is a celebration of the love and tradition the Jayhawk family has experienced during the past 100 years. A family I'm proud to call my own.

ORIGINAL JAYHAWKERS
WORDS BY KELSEY CIPOLLA
T the present-day Jayhawk looks friendly and happy, but its ancestors, the Jayhawkers of Kansas in the 1850s and 1860s.
became famous for their less-thanfriendly behavior during one of the greatest periods of unrest in American history: the Civil War.
The conflict between freedom and slavery began in Kansas with the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
"It started a tremendous controversy because the message was that Kansas would be free for settlement and would become a free state or a slave state according to the vote." savs Frank
H. Lane, one of the most prominent leaders in the movement to make Kansas a free state, addressed his soldiers as "Kansas Jayhawkers."
The term "Jayhawk" was most likely introduced to Kansas by an Irishman named Patrick Devlin, who was with another prominent free state leader, Doc. Jennison. Devlin went off on his own one day and returned with a bounty of food. When asked where it all came from, Devlin said he had been "Jayhawking." In Ireland, he claimed, there
" They were the more aggressive radicals.
"My thought is that when there is such a conflict, then there is a kind of a vicious circle of attacks," Baron says. "It is a bit too late to start blaming one side or the other. It is hard to know who's really guilty."
It seems the bad reputation faded
- Frank Baron, German professor  $ \textcircled{1} $
and his soldiers were said to have stolen items before burning the city to the ground. Some viewed Quantrill's raid of Lawrence as retaliation for the actions of the Jayhawkers, but Baron says those claims are difficult to prove.
Baron, a professor of German and the director of the Max Kade Center for German-American studies at the University. Baron researched the origins of the Jayhawk.
The proposal, supported by the South, gave Missouri and slavery a tremendous advantage.
"There was an integration movement from the North, especially Massachusetts, to make sure that didn't happen," Baron says. "Lawrence was the free state bastion that was established by people from Massachusetts with the idea of a free state."
The Jayhawk's first documented history began in 1848, when James
was a bird called a Jayhawk that took delight in its kills and foraged off its enemy.
"They were the more aggressive radicals," Baron says. "Their idea was that when there is a kind of underground movement, those types of things have to find some research. They had the idea of 'We need to live off of these pro-slavery people.'"
At times, the Jayhawkers were considered ruthless, sometimes called thieves and even assassins. In a raid of one Missouri town, Lane
and the end result of the Jayhawkers' actions stood the test of time. Rather than men who stole, the Jayhawkers were remembered as brave men who fought against
The term grew popular until it essentially became the identifier of Kansas' anti-slavery movement.
and helped end slavery.
"Lane, like John Brown, had a vision for freeing the slaves," Baron says. "Whatever you think about how he behaved, at least in retrospect, today it is thought to be a good thing."
The term "Jayhawk" remained well known in Kansas, with KU students calling the yearbook "The Jayhawker" since 1901. Eventually the mythical bird Patrick Devlin invented became the KU mascot, and synonymous with the University.

Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.

The Jayhawk spirit on campus is overwhelming, especially when sitting in Allen Fieldhouse, surrounded by thousands of fans shouting,
"Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU!"
Big Jay and Baby Jay hype up the crowd, and everyone cheers even harder for some of the greatest basketball players in the country. We call them our very own Jayhawks, but where did the name "Jayhawk" come from? Turns out, the history of our mascot is rooted in just as much, if not more, emotion than the basketball games we line up hours in advance for.

1912 THE CRAZY BIRD WITH THE SHOES
The term "Jayhawker," coined in 1848, was derived from the struggles between Kansan settlers fighting for and against slavery during the Civil War on the Kansas
and Missouri border. Kansas territory was a battlefield; each side frequently attacked each other's settlements. Members on both sides were called "Jayhawkers" for a long time. Lawrence, where the University of Kansas was founded, was a free state stronghold, however, and soon the name "Jayhawkter" became attached to those who fought against slavery.
The Jayhawk was a patriotic symbol during the Civil War. New Yorker Charles Jennison came to Kansas to raise a regiment of free state fighters called Jennison's Jayhawk Regiment. By the end of the war, "Jayhawk" was synonymous with those who fought passionately for Kansas to be a free state. The term was associated with the spirit of comradeship and courageous fighting qualities.
When the KU football team played its first game in 1890, it only seemed natural to call these passionate athletes Jayhawkers. For years, KU football players were known as Jayhawkers, but fans were without a clear picture of what a Jayhawk truly looked like. No one had thought of the Jayhawk as an actual bird; the word had always been more of a sentiment than a creature.
Daniel Henry "Hank" Maloy, a cartoonist for the University Daily Kansan and yearbook, used this idea for inspiration when drawing the 1912 Jayhawk. Maloy was a sophomore from Eureka who had previously drawn the KU mascot as a bulldog in his cartoon drawings for the school newspaper. "I had been drawing cartoons up there for two years without ever having seen sign of a Jayhawk," Maloy wrote in The Outlook, a KU newsletter in 1944.
The mythical mascot was formed from two different birds: the blue jay and the sparrow hawk. The combination of a quarrelsome bird known to rob other birds' nests, and a bird known as a stealthy hunter, makes our mascot, the Jayhawk, a bird no one dares to mess with.
This long-beaked, long-legged, blue bird appeared for the first time in history on Oct. 12, 1912, and people were confused by the fact that he was wearing shoes. Maloy had an obvious explanation: for kicking opponents. A popular song at the time, "You Gotta Quit Kicking My Dog Around," inspired the idea for Maloy's first comic strip with the Jayhawk. The bird finally made a lasting impression on KU students with his first appearance, a comic showing him kicking the Missouri Hound Dog. This was our first official Jayhawk.
And so the image of our mascot remained this friendly-looking bird for the next eight years, sparking inspiration for many others to create their own interpretations of the Jayhawk.
1920 THE MYSTERIOUS MOTIONLESS BIRD

The next Jayhawk to show up on campus did not leave as lasting as an impression as the original, only remaining the image for three years following its first appearance.
his own opinion of how the mascot should look, and Maloy said he knew that would be the case when he created the first acknowledged Jayhawk. For some, the Jayhawk needed to be friendly and cheerful. For others, the Jayhawk needed to be fierce, intimidating and reflective of its undeniable fighting nature.
"If I was forced to pick my least favorite Jayhawk, I would have to go with the 1920 Jayhawk," says Rebekah Lewis, a senior from Wichita. "It just too closely resembles a real bird and loses the uniqueness that makes the Kansas Jayhawk stand out."
No one knows much about the 1920 Jayhawk or what the artist had in mind when drawing this more traditional-looking bird. Even searching through archives at the Spencer Research Library didn't reveal much about the mysterious 1920 version. The artist is unknown for this somber, motionless bird atop a KU monogram.
MORE THAN A MYTH-SPIRITED JAYHAWK
J
1923
Many have retold the story of the Jayhawk, asserting that it's more than just a mythical bird. Its roots in history evoke an emotion in fans that cannot be found at any other school.
F. C. Blackmar, dean of the graduate school in 1923, gave a six-minute radio presentation on the Jayhawk in December 1923. He started his presentation describing the origin and how the combination of two birds that were frequent in the Missouri Valley makes our mascot a mythical creature. This, however, was not the most memorable portion of his speech. He ended his speech by describing what the Jayhawk says about us.
"But no matter about the origin of this mythical creature, about its uncertain history, about its early use by people whose actions were
sometimes questionable, today 'Jayhawk' embodies the Kansas spirit, the University spirit of unity, loyalty honest and right living," Blackmar said. Two KU student

Two RC students George Hollingbery and Jimmy O'Bryan, both sophomores at the time, created the 1923 Jayhawk. They designed a duck-like bird that was widely accepted by the students. Hollingbery and O'Bryon painted the Jayhawk on store windows and backs of raincoats to spread KU spirit and to make some extra pocket change. It wasn't too long after that when the Jayhawk started to appear on jackets, sweaters and uniforms.

100 YEARS
1929 THE FIGHTING BIRD
In 1929, Forrest O. Calvin designed a fierce-looking mascot at the request of Fred Ellsworth of the Alumni Association in Kansas City to represent the austere fighting spirit of the Jayhawk. This grimfaced bird sported talons, unlike the friendly original Jayhawk, whose only weapon was its heavy pair of shoes.
Many used the Jayhawk as a symbol. A tire company in Lawrence used the fighting bird as a marketing symbol for years. On a larger scale, the Jayhawk appeared in different
KU
forms during the years in thousands of articles. It has also been used as a symbol in battles in many wars since 1914 on land, sea,
and in the air. The Jayhawk is described as emblematic of the grit, courage and hardihood of the pioneer. Who wouldn't want to use those sentiments to keep troops motivated during times of war?
1941 THE CONTENTIOUS BIRD
Eugene "Yogi" Williams designed the second fighting-spirited Jayhawk, refining the work of Calvin's fighting Jayhawk, but clearly creating a more contemptuous look. Williams made the feathers fluffier, created a broader break, and put buckles on the shoes. He also opened the Jayhawk's eyes, creating an overall combative look on his face. The need to make a more aggressive bird was influenced by World War II, which took place during the reign of this contentious Jayhawk.
Like Daniel Henry Maloy, Williams was a cartoonist whose work was featured in the University's yearbook called "The Jayhawker." The name of the yearbook was chosen by a committee of student representatives in the 1901 class with hopes that it would be remain the name
permanently.

"I grew up in Lawrence, and loved the logo from the earliest days I can remember, even though my parents were Wildcat fans," Elzea says. "I've always had a soft spot for the 1941, mean-looking Jayhawk, and at least one of my kids prefers that version."

KU
Former KU journalism student Harold D. Sandy designed the smiling, friendly Jayhawk that we are all familiar with. Edwin Browne, who was the public relations director of the University at the time, asked him to design a bird that no longer looked ferocious. Sandy said he knew he would have to create a happy Jayhawk; the war was finally over and they needed a happier, less war-like mascot to celebrate this time. He said his Jayhawk was an adaptation from all of the other Jayhawks.
Sandy made car window decals using this new image of the mascot, and sold them to fund his college career. He also allowed the University Bookstore to use his Jayhawk for advertisements. In 1948, he sold the copyright to the Bookstore for $250, stating that he wanted the University to have a standard mascot.
In 2005, the font changed slightly on Sandy's Jayhawk when the "K" went to the swoop on the KU logo. Other than that small change, the Jayhawk has remained the same for 66 years.
KU alumnus Melody Woerman, who now lives in Topeka, has always felt a strong connection with
the Jayhawk, mostly because she grew up with it. "It's so recognizable, and we're the only one in the country," Woerman says. "With its bright colors and that happy beak, who doesn't love the Jayhawk? Well, except maybe Wildcats and Tigers."
Even students who didn't attend the University, but grew up in Lawrence, feel a strong connection to the Jayhawk. Kate Baringer, a sophomore at Iowa State University, says growing up with her father, who is a physics professor at KU, meant growing up with the Jayhawk as a best friend. Baringer's favorite thing about returning to Lawrence on breaks is seeing the strong KU spirit of her hometown. "Choosing to attend another university does not mean the Jayhawk isn't still my number one mascot," Baringer says.
"I was one of those children who would shyly walk up to the Jayhawk and mumble something about loving KU, then by the end of the game I'd be sitting on his lap happily babbling away about who knows what," Baringer says. "My love for KU has remained strong as I've grown up and gone to college."

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetie cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical

no previous background in cartoon drawing.
It was 1946 and World War II had just ended. Sandy was studying advertising in the School of Journalism at the University and was approached by Edwin Browne, the public relations director of the University at the time.
Browne had a problem - the current scowling mascot looked too aggressive. It had been drawn before the war started, so it was no surprise that the pervasive attitude of the nation as it prepared for war had its influences on both the 1929 and 1941 Jayhawks.
But the war was over, and the University needed a happy, more appealing Jayhawk.
So, in 1946, Sandy found himself with the task of creating the new mascot. Even though his
Sandy eventually copyrighted the Jayhawk and sold it to the University. When asked about what it feels like to see his creation as mascot for a large university, he stated that he wished he hadn't sold the copyright for so little He never thought his creation would become so popular.
But it's no surprise that it did. Sandy's success carried into the rest of his career. In 1952, Sandy started his own advertising agency, Sandy Inc., which still exists today. Eventually selling his company, he went on to do sales promotion that encompassed the design and copy side of advertising. He did work for such prominent companies as Maytag and Folgers.
For someone who designed a mascot that is known and respected in many parts of the world, Sandy was very humble about his work, both at the University and after. One thing he was sure to make clear, though, was how much he learned at the University from a talented and inspiring professor, John Malone. What separated Malone from other professors was his experience in advertising.
And this is what separates the University from other schools and the Jayhawk from other mascots — our ability to succeed and learn from experience. The Jayhawk isn't just an academic or athletic mascot. It's a unifying figure reminding us that we're not just here to read from textbooks and attend lectures. We're here to pursue our ambitions and to teach others to do the same.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical

Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along," Koetje said.

SKETCHING Jayhawk History
One illustrator's different take on Jayhawk
Words by Morgan Said
Paul Coker, a 1951 graduate with a degree in art, left his mark on the University of Kansas with his own version of the Kansas Jayhawk
on the front cover of the Jayhawker Yearbook.
Coker, a Lawrence native, recalls most of his time spent at the University working on art and illustrations for various classes and events. He quickly became known as an artist on campus.
"Once you get the reputation, you follow it," Coker says. "If you can do whatever you do slightly better than your peers, then you become whatever that is."
Because of Coker's artistic ability, he was asked to draw a different version of the Jayhawk for the 1949 Jayhawker Yearbook. He belonged to an honor's society group and initially drew his version of the Jayhawk for the group to sell it at various events, but then the University approached him.
"I can't actually remember being given the job of designing the
Jayhawk," Coker says.
Regardless, Coker's Jayhawk was printed on the front cover of the Jayhawker Yearbook in the spring of 1949.
Coker says that his Jayhawk and his creation of Chesty Lion are the only reasons Lawrence residents remember his name. But his success didn't end there. After graduating from the University and moving away from Lawrence, Coker continued with his passion in art and illustration.
The Jayhawk drawn for the yearbook isn't the only mascot Coker created in Lawrence. In 1946 Coker drew the Chesty Lion mascot for his alma mater, Lawrence High School, as a promotional piece to help sell Lawrence High's yearbook. The drawing is still used today.
Perhaps the most notable job Coker took on was his role in illustrating the characters for "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman." Still, Coker says, there were many other people involved in the creation of these characters.
"I get the credit for these things, and yet lots and lots of people are involved." Coker says. "For instance, someone had to write the story first; someone had to do the song and music. All I did was take the script that was sent to me by the movie producer and draw the characters that occurred to me in the script."
"School is fine, but you learn as much in a week at a commercial establishment than you would in four years of school," Coker says. "That's an exaggeration, but not much."
Coker says that all of his field experience helped shape him into a great artist.
Coker currently resides in Santa Fe, N.M., which he refers to as an "art town," and does work for MAD magazine, along with other freelance work.
U
"Whatever I do, I try to entertain myself," Coker says. "I figure if I'm not entertained by what I do, then whoever sees my stuff won't be entertained either. So, I entertain myself."

CARVED IN STONE
Words by Morgan Said Photo by Travis Young
George Knotts, a 1955 graduate and Lawrence native, may have taken his final steps on campus in the 50s, but the Jayhawks he created
while attending the University have staved put.
Knotts, an art major, made the first known stone Jayhawk for Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy in 1953. Knotts accepted the challenge of creating the stone Jayhawk, even though at the time he had yet to take his first college-level art class.
"The chancellor called me down to his office and asked what it would take to get a big Jayhawk," Knotts says. "They had been trying to get a large Jayhawk on campus, and no one had ever swung it, but the chancellor wanted it, so he
swung it."
Since its creation, the stone Jayhawk has been stolen and recovered twice. Knotts savs.
"I think MU was first and K-State was the other, but I wouldn't swear by that," Knottts says.
After the second retrieval of the Jayhawk, the graduating class of 1988 gave it a safer resting spot in a permanent display on the second floor of the Kansas Union, where the Jayhawk still perches today.
In addition to the stone Jayhawk, Knotts also created a revolutionary bronze Jayhawk. The project began during the summer of 1954 and took a year to complete.
Knotts says that he was asked to create this bronze Jayhawk so that alumni could purchase a Jayhawk to place on their desks. Since then he has sculpted hundreds of two-inch bronze Jayhawk replicas, using more than eight and a half tons of bronze.
However, the most important aspect about this version of the Jayhawk is the significant change Knotts made to its appearance, he says.
"The Jayhawk smiles on one side and frowns on the other," Knotts says. "It's the only one that does that. It's novel, but I was kind of creative."
In a watercolor version of his Jayhawk, Knotts made three additional changes that he has kept in his more recent versions of the
Jayhawk.
"When you see my watercolor Jayhawk, it has a frowning eye and a smiling mouth that makes him look mischievous," Knotts says. "Also, I have a twinkle in his eye. The colors of the Jayhawk used to be yellow and red, but those are conflicting colors, so I mixed in a little yellow-orange from the bill to make it more interesting."
The Kansas Union sells a coloring book that features different versions of Knotts. Javhawk.
Although he isn't working on creating any artwork for the University at the moment, Knotts still has an appreciation for the Jayhawk.
"The Jayhawk has been good to me," he says.

T the Jayhawk, which many of us pass by on a daily basis on our way to class, sits staunchly upon its granite perch in front of Strong Hall. It never really occurred to me how it was made or who made it, I, as with many other things, always took for granted that it was there, had been there, and will always be there. But the way it was made makes an intriguing story, and the artist behind this Jayhawk and other sculptures around campus proved to have a remarkable tale worthy of illumination.
Elden Tefft, who used to teach sculpture at the University of Kansas and developed the sculpture program when he was working on his master's degree, met with me to talk about his creation of this Jayhawk, yet I ended up hearing much more about his life. Born in Hartford and having moved to Lawrence around the age of nine, he began his artistic career making marionettes in high school. He proved to be quite the entertainer, having once made a ventriloquist dummy. He also dabbled in the art of sword swallowing and fire eating, putting on shows during his years in high school and becoming known as "multiplex Tefft."

Eventually, he went to the University to study art education, but World War II interrupted his studies. He joined the U.S. Army Air

Force and was stationed at various bases around the world. In the evenings, he would make life masks of fellow soldiers (like death masks except the person's alive), and he eventually was able to help soldiers rehabilitate by helping them create crafts.
After the war, he was able to return to the University and complete his master's degree. At the time, the University didn't have a sculpture program, so he agreed to create one.
As a professor at the University he designed the Jayhawk that we now see in front of Strong Hall. Unlike the smiling Jayhawk that is our official mascot, this Jayhawk stands with expanding wings and a robust chest.
Tefft says he wanted to make the Jayhawk more muscular and more
realistic. There is the feel of the pterodactyl in his design — strong and powerful.
This Jayhawk was cast in the Bailey Hall Annex. Bronze casting is a long and very detailed process, which requires the utmost care and attention. Before casting the sculpture, the artist must create a wax mold of the sculpture. Then, a series of wax tubes is placed around the mold.
Through these tubes the liquid bronze is poured in and the wax is melted out. After these tubes are put around the wax mold, a negative mold is then created using a plaster-like substance. The wax is then melted away from this negative mold.
Finally, the artist builds a furnace around the negative mold. Bronze at a temperature of around 2,100
degrees Fahrenheit is then poured into this, creating the final piece. Once the bronze has cooled, the artist finishes the sculpture with a fine patina or tarnish.
The Jayhawk we in front of Strong Hall took more than a year to finish. Tefft is also responsible for creating the University Seal and the sculpture of Moses in front of Smith Hall.
It certainly takes much dedication and a keen spirit to do bronze casting. Tefft has not only given us beautiful pieces of bronze sculpture, but he has also left us with a legacy of creativity, reminding us that profound dedication to something you love and an ardent taste for life is all you need to make a masterpiece.

TO
The 1917 carving of the Russian Jayhawk is displayed in a glass case in Wescoe's Slavic Languages and Literatures department. The carving was presented to
the University of Kansas in 1921 from KU Professor Conrad Hoffman and was recently added to the Spencer Research Library archive.
He stands a mere four inches tall; his 94-year-old body covered in a fine layer of dirt.
He's traveled from Germany to Kansas, making his home first in the School of Journalism — where he sat, forgotten, until 2009 — and then in the University Archives.
On Wednesday evening, he made another journey, this time to Wescoe Hall, where he'll live for one year in a glass display case.
The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I.
It's a symbol of the long-standing connection between the University and its students doing good in Russian and Eastern Europe, said Marc Greenberg, chairman of the Slavic department.
A GIFT OF GRATITUDE
In 1913, Conrad Hoffman became the secretary of the YMCA at the University.
The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg writes in his article "Hoffman's Hawk."
According to the article, the YMCA worked in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, providing education and coordinating social and athletic activities for the prisoners. The YMCA also helped prisoners by giving them tools and arranging exhibitions and sales of their artwork.
Hoffman went to Germany in 1915, and it was common for him to receive presents, says the article, from the prisoners that he worked with.
According to a pencil inscription on his side, the Russian Jayhawk was given to Hoffman in 1917. He was probably carved by either a master Russian woodcarver, whom Hoffman describes meeting and aiding in his 1920 memoirs or one of his apprentices and based off of an unshod Jayhawk prototype.
A 1921 article in the Kansas City Star says that Hoffman then gave the Jayhawk to the University Daily Kansan to be put on display.
A REDISCOVERY
Someone had found the Russian Jayhawk — his legs snapped at the ankles — in Stauffer-Flint Hall and wondered if Schulte wanted to keep him in the archives in Spencer Research Library.
In July of 2009, University archivist Becky Schulte got an email from the School of Journalism.
"We placed him in a box and added him to our archive database," Schulte said.
A little more than a year later, Schulte brought the Russian Jayhawk out of storage to show him to a Kansan reporter who was writing an article on the archives.
Shortly after that, Greenberg saw a link on Facebook to the Kansan article.
He was struck both by the Jayhawk's history as a "symbol of appreciation" and his unique design.
"It's something that's typically
Russian in its technique and comes from a craftsman tradition, but it's also a typically American subject," Greenberg said.
He made an appointment with Schulte to see the carving and, after receiving permission from the School of Journalism, started making plans to display the Jayhawk.
A NEW HOME
Displaying the wasn't as simple moving him from the archives to Wescoe Hall, however.
First, the Jayhawk had to be repaired. Greenberg sent out an appeal to alumni and students, raising $200 for the work, and the
Spencer Research Library contributed the rest.

little one. Said President.
Nearly a year after Greenberg first heard about the Russian Jayhawk, almost 40 people crammed into a small, book-lined room in the Slavic department offices, spilling out into the adjacent hallway.
Bittle came so and D. Anderson, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The tiny Russian Jayhawk brought them all together, a reminder, Greenberg said, that "objects aren't just objects. They have meanings
"He is a symbol of all that we are: Small, fragile, noble and able to bridge cultures if only we try," Greenberg said at the ceremony. "I dedicate our Russian Jayhawk to the next hundred years of KU students. May they continue to learn another language, another mindset and show the world the great things that Kansans bring to the world."

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited.

The Jayhawk spirit is perhaps best personified by Big Jay and Baby Jay, who can always be found at any major University event. The history and people behind these mascots represent the Jayhawk spirit and give Kansas fans a recognizable face for the University.

"We find that people can relate to them," says Kamille Ratzlaff, mascot coach. "They are celebrities in their own right."
Ratzlaff has coached the mascots for the past three years and served as Baby Jay when she was a student in 2005.
The two mascots appear at seven major sporting events: football, men's and women's basketball, softball, baseball, soccer, and volleyball. In addition, mascots show up at other University functions, weddings, birthday parties, and charity events, which amount to 150 to 200 appearances a year.
In order to fulfill these obligations, three to five people are selected to be each mascot during tryouts. Aside from a willingness to put one's self out there, those playing Big Jay and Baby Jay must meet the height requirements of 6 foot 1 to 6 foot 5 and 4 foot 11 to 5 foot 1, respectively, to fit in the suit.
Maintaining a consistent, novel personality for the mascots is also important.
"Baby Jay has a three-year-old personality. She's mischievous, happy and loves living life," says Ratzlaff. "Big Jay is a college-age guy who thinks he's the most amazing thing. When he tries to get something done, something funny happens and he just rolls with the punches."
In the past few years, the two mascots have made an effort to play together more when entertaining fans. But Big Jay didn't always have a sidekick.
Baby Jay was first introduced as a mascot in 1971. Alumnus Amy Hurst
was the first Baby Jay, and she constructed her own costume, which she even wore at her graduation. However, Big Jay's history is less documented. University archives show the earliest version of a Jayhawk costume at the 1953 homecoming football game.
Tryouts, announced by posters, Facebook or the mascot's Twitter profiles – @kubigjay and @kubabyjay – are held in April.
Candidates are required to create their own themed two-minute skit using audio and props. After performing their prepared skit, they are given music to dance to and scenarios in which they have to improvise.
If selected, the new mascots begin following around the seasoned birds at spring sports games before attending practices during the summer. During the year, the mascots have two-hour practices twice a week, in addition to two workouts with a personal trainer. Practices ensure the mascots review all the same cheers and are consistent no matter who is wearing the suit. It's all worth it. Ratlaff says
"The best time is when little kids come up and hug you," Ratzlaff says.
Even still, when rival fans send taunts and heated words their way, it is difficult for the mascots to stay in character. Walking away is the only option for mascots, no matter how poorly the opposing fans treat them, Ratzlaff says.
For anyone interested in trying out for Big Jay or Baby Jay, Ratzlaff has one piece of advice.
"Be funny," she says. "We can teach you everything else, but we can't teach you to be funny."

GETTING TO KNOW ONE,
Words by Rachel Salyer Photo by Travis Young
There's more than brain and brawn to Big Jay, who describes himself as a multi-faceted guy. Although he doesn't have his own Dos Equis commercial, he could be the most interesting man on campus.
"I am a pretty spirited guy," Jay says. "I have a knack for getting into trouble, I like to show off my muscles, and the ladies catch my attention. I'm not all about being macho and intimidating, though. I like kids, even though I won't be having any of my own soon."
Big Jay, an orphan, comes from a far away land full of fascination, so it's no surprise that his nest is located in another magical place: Allen Fieldhouse.
"It's on the third floor," Jay says, but he wouldn't elaborate on the types of things he has in his nest.
Jay must keep his nest pretty clean though, because he doesn't get a summer vacation.
Big Jay is most known for intimidating the other mascots on game day. It's not a job just any bird can do, but it seems to come naturally to him.
"There's really not much of an offseason for me," Jay says. "I fly to Florida for the celebrity mascot games. I go to a lot of weddings and community events. Any time left over I spend working on my golf game, and then it's all about GTL."
"I have an intimidating swagger-strut," Jay says. "Obviously, my huge guns help, but the most intimidating factor about me is being from the University of Kansas where we have the best programs."
It's no surprise that Jay's diet consists of Tiger and Wildcat meat, but it takes more than just eating healthy to be game day ready all the time. Jay is not shy about hitting the gym.
"I focus a lot on glamour muscles, biceps and triceps," Jay says. "But I am also a deltoid man and focus on those a lot."
Those glamour muscles come in handy when checking out the ladies, something Jay does well and does often.
"I have a crush on every University girl." Jav says. "And Erin Andrews."
Jay doesn't only have admiration for the ladies; he also has a list of men he considers role models.
"Chuck Norris, Maury Povich and Gandhi, pre-hunger strike, are all big for me." Jay says. "Then obviously Bill Self, Charlie Weis and Phog Allen."
Even though he represents the University, Jay admits he's not sure if he would make a good student himself.
"If I went to class I'd throw a lot of paper airplanes," Jay says. "I'd ask professors as many random questions as I could think of, and after that, I'd probably sleep."
"Be good or be good at it," Jay says. "It's better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission."
While Jay may not be learning much in the classrooms at the University, he has learned some rules to live by.

ASIS
Hating the chubby, feathery ball of crimson and blue that is Baby Jay would be like throwing a puppy in the street or tanning more than the cast of "Jersey Shore."
It just can't be done
Baby Jay is probably the only 40-year-old anything that is still considered a baby, but nevertheless, one who has earned a special place in our hearts. Under all the baby fat, Baby Jay has a childlike, but strong, personality.
"I am ornery and rambunctious," Baby says. "Mischief is my favorite, and I am in love with anyone who will take a picture with me."
Baby Jay is often seen with its counterpart, Big Jay, but they have their differences, sometimes leading to disagreements.
"Big Jay is more intimidating than I am," Baby says. "I am more of a lover than a fighter, but occasionally Jay and I will fight for attention and over who is the better Jayhawk."
Baby Jay trains and plays hard in its third floor nest in Allen Fieldhouse.
"In the nest I have a giant ear of corn, the baby doll from 'The Hangover,' an excellent pumpkin costume, a Snooki wig, lots of suspenders — really all of my necessities for school spirit and fun," Baby says.
When Baby Jay isn't working hard on game day, encouraging school spirit, or helping the community out, it can be found doing things both toddlers and college students enjoy.
"I fly kites and draw with chalk, I like to practice my bubble blowing," Baby
says, "but my favorite thing to do is to mock Big Jay."
Both Big Jay and Baby Jay are orphans, so it's no surprise that Baby looks to Big Jay for all the guidance a bird could need.
"Well, there's not that many Jayhawks to chose from," Baby says, "so, my role model would have ato be Big Jay."
Keeping up with Big Jay is no easy job, and neither is keeping a campus of Kansas' size full of school spirit. Occasionally Baby Jay needs a pick-me-up.
"I fill up on pixie sticks a lot," Baby says. "Those help me bring my A-game when I need to. I'm a giddy bird, so the crowd and being in the facilities themselves give energy too."
Even though being in the University's spotlight can be stressful, Baby Jay is proud to have a fuller look than other stick-figured birds in the magazines.
"I like to eat," Baby says. "I stay in shape enough to stay ahead of the football team not to get trampled. I like my baby fat though, so it's not going anywhere."
While being the University's biggest fan and supporter will always be most important for Baby, it has recently been stepping out to do another important job.
"I train Victor Ortiz," Baby says. "I taught him everything he knows, and even though I am too scared to fight myself, I instilled the fighting Jayhawk spirit it takes to beat your competitors."

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students

Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences. Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Keetie cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is asked for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical

The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited.

Contributed by the Spencer Research Library An audience of more than 55,000 welcomed Baby Jay with open arms when it hatched during halftime of the 1971 homecoming game against Kansas State.

Contributed by the Spencer Research Library Amy Hurst, the original Baby Jay, sported the costume she made during her graduation ceremony.
Mascots are believed to bring good luck to their athletic teams, by intimidating and scaring the opposing team and its mascot, all while pumping up the home team's crowd and promoting team spirit.
The role of Big Jay and Baby Jay goes far beyond charming the crowd or running around in circles in opposite directions in the middle of Allen Fieldhouse.
"They preserve the tradition and brand that is the University Of Kansas," says Jennifer Allee, assistant athletic director for marketing and fan experience.
Forty years ago, Big Jay rolled a big, blue manmade egg to the 50 yard line of Memorial Stadium, where Baby Jay was hatched during halftime of the 1971 homecoming victory against Sunflower State rival, Kansas State.
"I am thrilled and proud to know that my simple act, coming out of my enthusiasm for KU, has made such a huge difference at our very fine University," Hurst says.

Amy Hurst, the creator of the original Baby Jay, had no idea that what started as an innocent joke with a coworker would evolve into an iconic symbol for KU.
Since the birth of Baby Jay, it's rare that the two mascots are ever seen apart.
Hurst constructed the original costume with felt, chicken wire and fiberglass along with help from her parents.
Hurst, who jokingly refers to herself as the Original Baby Jay (OBJ), remains in awe of the important role Baby Jay has taken on in 40 short years.
"When I wore OBJ, I was only permitted to attend football and men's basketball games," Hurst says. "That

was it, and now look where we are today."
She compares the mascots to athletes, as they are required to attend mandatory workouts and meet strict grade requirements.
today, the University has anywhere from six to eight mascots per year. each putting in about 15 hours a week. Big Jay and Baby Jay attend more than just women and men's athletic and PR events. Their appearances range from elementary schools, to alumni events and even private weddings.
More than the iconic symbol of KU, the mascots create a character people can associate with and an image that embodies KU spirit.
"It's something that brings excitement, it's something they can get attached to and fall in love with," Allee says.
"Big Jay and Baby Jay are so much more than a mascot," she says.
The Jayhawk is synonymous with KU fans everywhere, but some members of other schools combat that, saying the Jayhawk is purely fictional.
When prompted as to how fans can worship a fictional character, Allee's reaction is similar to other proud Jayhawks: "Its real to KU."
The luxury of having two mascots (or one and a half) is something most schools don't have. It allows for more fan interaction and creates a fun environment that appeals to all ages. The creativity and excitement Big Jay and Baby Jay bring to each sporting event is a thrilling element that wouldn't be present without them.
"It's amazing how a single person can single-handedly change the course of a University. I can't imagine what the University of Kansas would be without Big and Baby Jay," Allee says.

There are OTHER Jayhawks
The Kansas mascot may have been America's original Jayhawk, but that has not prevented schools across the country from adopting the mythical bird as their own. Since the 1960s, the Jayhawk has been selected to represent school districts, high schools and even a community college.
Words by Kelsey Cipolla
URBANDALE COMMUNITY SCHOOL
The Jayhawk was also adopted in the 1970s by the Urbandale School District in Urbandale, Iowa. Their previous mascot, the Blue Jay, was deemed too docile, says Brian Coppess, associate principal of Urbandale High School.
Some local fans of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes pushed
for Urbandale to adopt the Hawk as a mascot. "But, as our archrival was the Ankeny Hawks, this did not sit well with many," Coppess says. "At the same time, the band had gotten new uniforms that had a bird on them and the gym floor had been refinished with a bird on
it."
Somebody came up with the idea of the Jayhawk. "It satisfied those who wanted the Hawks, it pacified those who wanted to stay the Jays and Jayettes, and it utilized the bird on the gym floor and on the band uniforms, so they went with

Initially the school used the University's version of the Jayhawk, but KU officials found out and required that the mascot be changed. A student came up with a new look for the mascot and the word Jayhawk was changed to J Hawks.
it." Coppess says.
JAMESTOWN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Jamestown Community College in Jamestown, New York, adopted the Jayhawk for a very
practical reason—its use of the letter J'.
Nelson Garifi, the executive director of marketing and academic initiatives at Jamestown, says the Jayhawk was selected in the 1960s to replace a lackluster mascot.
Jamestown Campus
JAYHAWKS
Jayhawks OUT THERE
Although the reasoning behind the name change is not clear, Garifi has an idea of why the muskie did not last.
"The original mascot for our athletic teams was the Muskie," Garifi says. "A muskie is a fish, short for Muskellunge, a kind of fish that is native to western New York waters."
"The best guess would be that it was a bit awkward to have a fish flopping around on the basketball court," he says. As for why Jamestown decided to replace
the native fish with a mystical bird, Garifi thought it was probably changed to the Jayhawk for alliterative purposes. The school's other campus uses the Jaguar as a mascot, keeping with the 'J' theme.
HEAD-ROYCE SCHOOL
This private school in Oakland, Calif., needed a new mascot in the 1970s after separate schools for boys and girls became a coed high school. Students chose from three different potential mascots: the Roadrunners, the Rockets and the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks won out

Head-Royce Athletic Director Brendan Blakeley says the Jayhawk was more popular because of its uniqueness, rather than its historical or political significance.
"It's got a nice ring to it, and it's an easy word to
HRS
say when we do our little huddle." Blakeley says. "The kids don't make much of a connection to Kansas."
Every summer, Blakeley tells the coming freshman class that he will take any student to lunch that can tell him the history of the Jayhawk after he or she returns in the fall. How many students have actually taken him up on his offer? "One in the last two years," Blakeley says. "It's funny because I'm also an alumnus of the school, so I have a strong affiliation to our mascot and I like it."
In 1967, the Jayhawk School District formed in Mound City. The district originally included three high schools, but there were plans for consolidation in the early 1970s. Students wanted to know what their mascot would be the next year.
JAYHAWK SCHOOL DISTRICT
Records from a school board meeting on Nov. 13, 1972, show that hundreds of community members had launched a petition for the high school to adopt the Jayhawk as the mascot. But not everybody was a fan of the new name.
According to the records, one board member said, "I felt Jayhawk was wonderful name, but feel we would be a copycat to use it because of the KU mascot."
The Jayhawk has special historical significance for the district.
"We're four miles from the Mine Creek Battlefield," says Royce Powelson, district superintendent. "Local historians felt like the Jayhawk around here was meant to give compliment to the Jayhawkers that were involved in this battle. There used to be a sign on the edge of town that said 'Mound City: Home of the original Jayhawks.'"

Original Jayhawks or not, the district was forced to make a few changes to their
mascot about 10 years ago to avoid copyright infringement. The Jayhawk, Linn Jayhawk, wears a cowboy hat, faces to the right instead of the left, has red feathers on its body and yellow feathers on its face.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetie cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great." Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
course work.
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
to be relevant.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along," Koetje said.
"I hope the changes in the MCAT is an opportunity for all institutions to look at more holistic measures for admissions," Chumley said.

THE BEGINNING HOW BASKETBALL BECAME A WAY OF LIFE
J
TO
WORDS BY MAGGIE YOUNG
The tradition of singing the Alma Mater and Rock Chalk Chant before basketball games is just as sacred to the University as the creation of the sport itself. Jayhawk basketball is more than just a game — it's a deeply rooted tradition. The tradition of Kansas basketball began with the one man who invented the game, James Naismith
Naismith.
James Naismith was born in 1861 in Ramsay Township, Ontario. He grew up in Canada and attended McGill University in Montreal for his undergraduate degree.
Amidst his love for sports, Naismith believed that spirituality was a main component of good health and physical fitness, and he achieved many accomplishments before he ended up in Lawrence. He graduated with a degree in religion from Presbyterian College in Montreal in 1890. This degree was the first of many accomplishments that led him to his most influential milestone of all: the invention of basketball.
After he served as the director of athletics at McGill University, Naismith went to the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Mass., in 1891 to pursue a degree in physical education. His passion for sports and physical activity was obvious from the beginning of his career.
At the YMCA, Naismith was tasked with creating a sport that could be played indoors during frigid Massachusetts winters. Naismith wanted to design a game that was focused on skill more than on strength. In December 1891, he did just that. He wrote the 13 original rules of "Basket Ball," which was
played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets. This was just the beginning of what would become a Jayhawk basketball tradition, as well as one of the most popular sports in the world.
After completing his degree from the YMCA, Naismith was still eager to expand his knowledge about the human body, mind and soul. This led him to Gross Medical School in Denver, where he earned a degree in medicine with a focus on sports physiology. He became a doctor in 1898.
While Naismith was in medical school, the YMCA introduced basketball to the world. The
school set up movements that familiarized many nations with the new sport.
With a degree in religion and medicine, as well as the invention of basketball under his belt, Naismith traveled to Lawrence in 1898. He joined the University's
faculty as both a physical education teacher and a chapel director. Later, he served as the first basketball coach for Kansas.
It was then that the longstanding basketball tradition at the University began. He coached Forrest "Phog" Allen who became one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history.
As basketball's popularity took off in Lawrence, it also gained momentum in the sporting world. Then, in 1936, basketball was introduced at the Berlin Olympics and Naismith awarded the players their medals himself.
Naismith died in Lawrence in 1939 after 40 years at the University. His mission for sports and good health lives on through Jayhawk basketball. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959.
Every time Kansas fans gather around the basketball court at Allen Fieldhouse and sing the Alma Mater, the remembrance of Naismith's love for the sport is present. Basketball will forever be a tradition

NAISMITH'S RULES RETURN HOME WORDS BY MAGGIE YOUNG PHOTO BY CHRIS BRONSON $4.3 MILLION.
That was the price tag on the two pieces of paper containing the 13 original rules of "basket ball," which were written by James Naismith in 1891. The rules not only contain rich basketball history but are also part of the sport's tradition in Lawrence. For David and Suzanne Booth, that price tag was worth it for the legendary rules. In December of 2010, the Booths purchased the original rules and made the decision to donate them to the only place that seemed fit: the University of Kansas.
Naismith not only invented basketball but was also the first coach for Jayhawk basketball at the University. He spent the majority of his life in Lawrence, about 40 years, and died there in 1939. Naismith was a true Jayhawk, and Booth says he believes there is no place in the world for those rules other than Lawrence.
The 13 original rules were auctioned off at Sotheby's auction in New York City. Josh Swade, a KU alumnus who now works as a producer in the entertainment business in New York City, found out the auction was happening a few blocks down the street from him. Swade says that he felt compelled to get the rules back to the University from the moment he heard about it. "The rules represent Naismith's great contribution to the world and this comes to light the most at the University," he says. "That can never be taken away."
Swade began his mission to return the rules to the University by traveling the country and talking to different alumni about the rules. On his search, Swade contacted Booth and could tell that Booth immediately recognized the importance of the rules.
Booth, a chairman for Dimensional Fund Advisors, participated in the auction on the phone. He laughed and said it was pretty simple - all you had to do was bid higher than the other person. Booth purchased the rules for $4.3 million, and they currently reside in Austin, Texas, where he lives. The rules will stay there until the University decides how they will be displayed, a decision that requires a lot of thought.
Bill Self, men's basketball coach at the University, says that naturally, it would be best if the rules were placed in Allen Fieldhouse. Self emphasizes the pride that the alumni base will feel from this donation.
"We're very proud and certainly appreciative of what David and Suzanne and the rest of their family have done for this University," Self says. "The pride in having these rules here in Lawrence will last far longer than any of us will. It will last for many generations."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director at the University, says the display must highlight the importance of the rules. "It's terrific that the rules will end up in a place that respects the game, legacy and the man who invented it," Marchiony says.
Booth is a KU almunus, trustee for the Kansas University Endowment Association and donor of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. Swade says he is the best alumnus a University could have.
"Those two pieces of paper cause so much excitement," Booth says. "When you stand over the rules, you think about how those two pages created a sport that touches so many people's lives."

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koeje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."

"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited.

TO
KANSAS
Ted Owens

YEARS: 1964-1983
RECORD: 348-182
Owens began coaching at Kansas in 1960 as an assistant under Dick Harp. When Harp resigned as coach after the 1963-1964 season, Owens took his place. He finished his career at Kansas in 1983 as the third winningest coach, behind Phog Allen and Roy Williams.
ACCOLADES

• Lowe's Senior CLASS Award recipient
• 13th in school history with 1,593 points
• Seventh in school history with 884 rebounds
• Fourth in school history with 38 double-doubles
• His jersey number, 23, hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse
DEFINING MOMENT
As a kid growing up in Leavenworth, Simien dreamed of days like March 12, 2004. On that day, Kansas trounced Missouri 94-69 in Dallas in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal. Simien was nearly perfect, scoring 31 points on 12 of 14 shooting, grabbing 11 rebounds and sinking all seven free throw attempts.
KAN
Champs
Larry Brown
AT KANSAS
YEARS: 1983-1988
RECORD: 135-44
Brown began coaching at Kansas in 1983, replacing Owens. He finished his career at Kansas with the second and arguably most memorable NCAA Tournament championship in school history.

- 1986 Big Eight Coach of the Year
- Only coach to win a title in NBA and NCAA
DEFINING MOMENT
Danny and the Miracles. The 1988 NCAA champion Jayhawks under Brown, led by Manning, were heavy underdogs against the division rival Oklahoma Sooners. But Manning dominated, earning the game's Most Outstanding Player award by scoring 31 points and grabbing 18 rebounds and five steals. With Manning's two game-clinching free throws, the Jayhawks trumped the Sooners 83-79 in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., Manning was mauled by everyone in the building as Jayhawk fight songs roared.
In the CBS post-game interview, with thick rimmed glasses covering half of his face, Brown didn't have much to say to analyst Bill Packer.
"I don't know how to say national champs." Brown said. "But I'm gonna learn how."

Josh Selby
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2010-2011
Selby was the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2010, according to Rivals.com. He arrived in Lawrence with as much fanfare as any recruit in recent memory.

ACCOLADES
- 2010 High School McDonald's All-American
- No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2010
- 2010-2011 Pre-season Big 12 Freshman of the Year

After a long recruitment and having to sit out the first nine games of the year, the tension inside Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 18 couldn't have been higher. It was Josh Selby's Kansas debut. The freshman delivered, scoring a season-high 21 points, including the eventual game-winning three-pointer with 26 seconds remaining, giving Kansas the 70-68 win.

Kansas led Wichita State 65-62 with 1:15 left in the game. Valentine bricked a 1-and-1 free throw, and then with the lead cut to one with 28 seconds remaining, blew a layup. Wichita State won the game 66-65, its first victory against Kansas.

Darrell Arthur
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2006-2008
ACCOLADES
To some, it came as a bit of a surprise when "Shady" opted for Kansas. Arthur was a top recruit eyeing starting minutes at Indiana, Baylor, Texas and LSU. On Thanksgiving in 2004, Kansas beat Florida 82-80 in Gainesville. Arthur recorded 19 points and nine rebounds in 16 minutes.
ACCOLADES
• National Champion (2008)
• First Team Big 12 (2008)
• All-Freshman Big 12 (2006-07)
• Big 12 Champion (2007, 2008)
DEFINING MOMENT
With 11 seconds left in overtime of the 2008 title game against Memphis, Arthur grabbed the rebound and tossed the ball to Sherron Collins, who dribbled the seconds away. With his consistent mid-range jump shot, powerful and creative moves near the rim, and knack for rebounding and blocking shots, Arthur was just as important to cutting down the nets as the rest of them.

Darnell Jackson
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2005-2008
Jackson was made for the dirty work, scrapping inside for rebounds and high-percentage shots near the hoop. He led the title team with 267 rebounds and started the last 35 games of that season. He was a top reserve before he earned his starting role and was a fan favorite for his tireless play.
ACCOLADES
• National Champion (2008)
• Big 12 Champion (2005-2008)
• Top rebounder on championship team
DEFINING MOMENT
No. 2 Kansas rolled into Colorado on Feb. 2, 2008, fresh off the season's first loss at the hands of Michael Beasley and Kansas State They were 21-1 with eyes on a championship in April, and quite possibly overlooking a matchup with the Buffaloes. After a slow start, the Jayhawks headed into halftime tied 30-30 and at risk of losing two straight. Colorado's Richard Roby scored 22 points, but it was Jackson who led his team to victory, sinking all 10 of his free throw attempts.

Julian Wright
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2005-2007
Wright was able to play inside with the bigger forwards or step outside against guards. He used his length as a defender to irritate ball handlers and sky for rebounds. As a scorer he made plays from anywhere on the floor and served as a valuable offensive spark from multiple positions.
ACCOLADES
- Big 12 Champion (2006, 2007)
• Third team All-American (2006-2007)
• All-Freshman Big 12 (2005-2006)
DEFINING MOMENT
There were few things more exhilarating than watching Wright dunk the basketball. The 360-degree slam in the closing seconds of the 2006 Big 12 championship kicked Longhorn fans to the road. The two hander against Florida inspired Dick Vitale to call him "Jammin' Julian." The dunk on top of monstrous Missouri center Kalen Grimes in Columbia was something for Jayhawk fans to savor.

Cole Aldrich
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2007-2010
Cole Aldrich was one of college basketball's most intimiating defenders while at Kansas. A member of the 2008 national title team, Aldrich came into his own the following season. He averaged a double-double (double digit rebounds and points) during the 2008-2009 season while leading Kansas to the Big 12 regular season championship.
ACCOLADES
- High School All-American (2007)
- Athlon and NBC Sports' College basketball's Most Improved Player (2009)
- Recorded first triple-double in Kansas school history in 2009 (13 points, 20 rebounds, 10 blocks)
- Second all-time on Kansas single season blocked shots list with 94 (2009)
- Honorable-Mention All-American (2009)
- Academic All-American of the Year (2010)
DEFINING MOMENT
A highly touted prospect coming out of high school, Aldrich was mostly a backup as a freshman in 2008 playing behind big men Darnell Jackson, Darrell Arthur and Sasha Kaun. In the 2008 national semi-final game against North Carolina, Aldrich had one of his best games of the year. He finished with 17 minutes, eight points and seven rebounds in the 84-66 victory.
4
Nick Collison
AT KANSAS YEARS: 1999-2003
One of the most popular players of the Roy Williams era, Nick Collison was a solid contributor right off the bat, averaging 10 points per game as a freshman. He was a key player on back-to-back Final Four teams in 2002 and 2003, and he formed one of college basketball's best duos with guard Kirk Hinrich for four seasons.
ACCOLADES
- High School All-American (1999)
- His No.4 retired at Kansas in 2004
- Big 12 Conference Player of the Year (2003)
- Member of Big 12 Conference 10th anniversary team
- All-Big 12 first team member (2001, 2003)
- Finished career as Big 12's all-time leading scorer (2,097)
DEFINING MOMENT
In his senior season at Kansas, Collison led the Jayhawks to a No. 3 seed in the West region of the NCAA tournament. In a Sweet 16 matchup with Duke, Collison had one of his best performances in his four-year career. Collison dropped in 33 points while playing the entire 40 minutes of the game. He led both teams in scoring and propelled Kansas to a 69-65 win.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will in
clude more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koejte said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetie cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
course work.
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along," Koetje said.
"I hope the changes in the MCAT is an opportunity for all institutions to look at more holistic measures for admissions," Chumley said.
Koetje said students can find additional information at kaplam-cat.com, or by following @kaplan on twitter and "liking" Kaplan on facebook.

AT KANSAS YEARS: 2008-2011
Markieff Morris
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2008-2011
Two pudgy-faced freshmen from Philadelphia came to Lawrence in 2008 and seemed a bit out of place. Flat brim caps and an East Coast style just didn't mesh with Kansas. But it didn't take long before the Morris twins fit in around town like they were free-state bred.
In their freshman and sophomore seasons, the Morri weren't the focal point of the team; that role was delegated to Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich. They were, however, absolute keys to the Big 12 Championship that the Jayhawks won in 2009, and the 33-3 record in 2010.
When Collins and Aldrich were gone, the Morris twins were the undeniable leaders of the Jayhawks. It was only for one year that Kansas was truly their team, but it was a treat nonetheless. Both Markieff and Marcus continued to develop their outside game, while remaining ferocious in the paint.
They never won a national title, but the Morris twins will always be remembered by the Jayhawk faithful with warm thoughts.

Brandon Rush
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2005-2008
A 6-foot-6 guard with a smooth stroke from behind the arc, Rush averaged more than 13 points per game in all three of his seasons at Kansas. His three point percentage never dropped below 40 percent, proving him to be one of the team's best threats from long range every season. Growing up in Kansas City, Mo., Rush was all too familiar with the history of Kansas basketball, even making some of his own while on campus.
ACCOLADES
- Sporting News All-Freshman team (2006)
- Wooden Award All-American (2007)
- AP Honorable Mention All-American (2007)
- All Big-12 First Team (2007, 2008)
- Big 12 Tournament MVP (2008)
- Final Four All-Tournament Team (2008)
DEFINING MOMENT
Rush was already on a fast track to the NBA during his junior season of 2007-2008. The final four match-up with North Carolina took his stardom to a whole different level. With five minutes left in the first half, Rush had as many points — 12 — as the entire North Carolina team. He finished his scorching-hot night with 25 points, more than doubling any Kansas teammate. He was later named to the all-tournament team, no doubt cementing his legacy among Kansas fans.
KANSAS 15 23
Mario Chalmers
AT KANSAS YEARS: 2005-2008
Another model of consistency, Mario Chalmers averaged more than 12 points per game in each of his three seasons as a Jayhawk. He improved every season at Kansas, with his minutes, points, field goal percentage and assists increasing every year, culminating in the greatest moment in Kansas basketball history.
ACCOLADES
- Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Player (2006)
  - Co-Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year (2007)
    - Big 12 All-Defensive Team (2008)
- Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team (2008)
  - Final Four Most Outstanding Player (2008)
DEFINING MOMENT
If there was ever a Kansas player who didn't need his defining moment explained, it is Mario Chalmers. It's relived every year during the NCAA tournament in videos and commercials. Down by three with 10 seconds left in the National Title game, Sherron Collins raced the ball up court under pressure. Standing on the wing, Chalmers waited. After nearly missing the handoff from Collins, he secured the ball and darted left. With pressure in his face, he took one dribble, slightly faded away and released a shot inches over the outstretched hands of Derrick Rose. Everything else was a blur.

THE TRUTH, THE LEGEND
Paul Pierce
AT KANSAS YEARS: 1995-1998
"Take this down. My name is Shaquille O'Neal, and Paul Pierce is the motherj----- truth. Quote me on that, and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."
Shaq spoke those words on March 13, 2001, not even six months after Pierce was stabbed 11 times in a Boston night club, minutes after he dropped 42 points on the Los Angeles Lakers, his favorite team as a kid. The Celtics lost that night 112-107, but that's not what people remember. Since that game, from California to Massachusetts, there is one justifiable truth, and his name is Paul Pierce.
It all started at the playgrounds of Inglewood, Calif., where Pierce grew up emulating his idol, Magic Johnson. Pierce took his basketball and dribbled down Cresenhaw Blvd., past junkies who scratch and gangs toting gats, evading cracks in sidewalks, keeping his head up and his basketball away from cars zooming by. When he finally got to the park, he played with whoever showed until the sun went down. This is how he formed his game. Never the strongest nor the fastest, Pierce has always used his creativity to score. The playgrounds were his labs for experimentation. Allen Fieldhouse and the parquet floor at the Boston Garden showcased the summation of his past.
ACCOLADES
- NBA Champion (2008)
· 13 NBA All-Star Game selections
· First team All-American (1998)
· Big Eight Freshman of the Year (1996)
· Big 12 Conference Tournament MVP (1997,1998)
· Eighth in Kansas school history with 1,768 points
His jersey number, 34, hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse
THE BATTLE
James scored 45 points, four more than his adversary, but Pierce won the game, and eventually the NBA Finals. It was the first Celtics championship since 1986, and it was sealed in a 131-92 blowout in Boston against — you guessed it — the Lakers. "It means so much more because these are the guys, the Havliceks, the Bill Russells, the Cousys," Pierce said. "These guys started what's going on with those banners. They don't hang up any other banners but championship ones. And now I'm a part of it."
ISIS 4
PENNSYLVANIA
DEFINING MOMENT
"The Big Three," along with Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, James Posey and others immediately formed one of the better teams in the NBA. The Celtics reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, ready for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The series featured elite defense and went to seven games. In the final bout, Pierce and James could have settled the game one-on-one. That's essentially what it was. Pierce knocked down a jump shot. James followed with his own. Pierce hit another. Then James once more.

As a Division I school, competing with other teams on a national level comes with the territory. After playing on stages as large as the Orange Bowl or the NCAA National Championship, Kansas is bound to have some rivals in the sports world.
Missouri is one of those rivals. The phrase 'Border Showdown' is one that, when heard, brings anger, hope and a fierce sense of competition to any Jayhawk. And for a good reason. The sports rivalry between Kansas and Missouri has a heated history, to say the least. The rivalry
dates back to the time of Bleeding Kansas and Quantrill's Raid. Though the days of slavery are long gone, the animosity between the two teams remains strong.
From the Kansas loss in 1961 that erupted into a bench-clearing basketball brawl, to the football teams facing off in front of record-breaking crowds at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., the Border Showdown has captivated audiences for decades. Despite Missouri's transition to the Southeastern Conference, it is safe to say this rivalry will not soon be forgotten.
The Jayhawks' unofficial rival, the Kansas State Wildcat, prowls 84 miles west of the University. From 1994 to 2005, Kansas dominated the rivalry on the basketball court, winning 31 straight games against K-State — the longest winning streak for either school in the series. In recent years, the Wildcats have stepped up their game, making the once lop-sided match-up a more equally matched competition.
The football field has also played host to intense encounters between the schools throughout the years, except one. A conflict between the
teams in 1909 resulted in the cancellation of a scheduled game during the 1910 season. Kansas and K-State have competed every fall since then, making the 2010 season the 100th straight year the rivals have met on the gridiron.
While having rivalries with other schools can cause fans to sling harsh taunts and throw down gauntlets, the competition can bring out the best in a team. Rivalry games highlight the unity, sheer determination, and school pride that is found in a Jayhawk.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt.kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences, Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.

STANDING THE TEST OF TIME 125 YEARS STRONG
WORDS BY MARSHALL SCHMIDT PHOTO BY CHRIS BRONSON
The "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" chant serves as a unique embodiment of school spirit for the University of Kansas, which incorporates a rich history.
In 1886, Professor E. H. S. Bailey, chair of the Chemistry department, conceived "Rah Rah Jayhawk" as a rallying yell for the University's Science Club. "Rah Rah" was later replaced by "Rock Chalk" after the suggestion of a member from the geology department due to the limestone found around Kansas, according to Carolyn Bailey, granddaughter of the professor in an interview by university relations. Carolyn Bailey passed away this year in August.
"I would like to have new students know that this yell, the KU Rock Chalk chant, is the first thing that brought KU together as a body, and it's sung everywhere there is a group of students," Carolyn Bailey said in an interview this past summer.
In the early years of the University, developing chants were prevalent among student clubs, organizations and even graduating classes. They were shouted at meetings, gatherings and games. Usually these calls were unique to the group of students themselves. Even as late as 1946, the University Daily Kansan reported a yell competition held at the University for a cash prize. Although most of these yells were short-lived, the Rock Chalk chant continued as KU tradition.
The introduction of football to the University in 1890 made the Rock Chalk chant grow in popularity as a cheer used by fans. In 1905, the yell was modified to include three verses of slow monotone chanting, coupled with three additional verses of staccato
"I think it was catchy," says Becky Schulte, a university archivist at the Spencer Research Library. "I think it just grabbed people when they yell it. It's unique."
or detached articulation and fast-paced tempo, which is the way it's heard today.
The chant has been used on the football field as well as the battlefield. KU alumni fighting in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War used the cheer, which also became a battle cry during China's Boxer Rebellion, according to a UDK article published in 1946. During World War I, the chant was used to locate fellow Kansas soldiers. A soldier would yell out, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," hoping to hear the response of "KU" from friends who might be nearby.
Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president of communications for the KU Alumni Association, believes the chant brings Jayhawks together, even 126 years after Bailey created it. However, in recent years some alumni have raised concerns about students shouting "woo" between the slow cadences. The addition to the chant has occurred in the past several years, but some alumni would prefer if there was silence instead.
In the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp, Netherlands, the Rock Chalk chant was used to demonstrate a typical American college yell. Former president Theodore Roosevelt even called it the best college chant he'd ever heard.
"Even with the modern rendition, I think it's one of the most powerful and distinctive yells around," Sanner says. For KU fans, the Rock Chalk chant has been used as a rallying cry as well as to greet and sign letters.
"Where Jayhawks gather in all kinds of settings, it's a great way to say farewell," Sanner says. "It's a part of who we are and part of our community."

"ROCK CHALK" CHANT
The "Rock Chalk" chant has been the battle cry of KU fans since 1886. This traditional cheer, pronounced the greatest college chant by Teddy Roosevelt, is known worldwide.
Originally the chant was "Rah, Rah, Jay-Hawk, KU," patterned after the click-clack train H.S. Bailey, professor of chemistry. Later, the rahs were replaced by Rock Chalk." the stone cropping found on Mount Oread, site of the Lawrence campus.

Dressed in a knee length white skirt, a wool sweater with a KU emblem, saddle shoes and anklets, Claudine "Scottie" Lingelbach spent her college days on stage in front of thousands of loyal fans directing cheers at basketball games during Phog Allen's time as coach.
Lingelbach was a part of the Jay Janes, a student pep squad at the University in the 40s. Lingelbach, who turns 90 this April, is still the enthusiastic Jayhawk fan she was in her college years, proving that an appreciation of the Jayhawk spirit strengthens with age. Kansas pride doesn't stop after a student graduates.
Current students of the University stroll up and down the sidewalks of campus each day, surrounded by buildings full of traditions and memories. Students also attend adrenaline-packed sporting events and take part in traditions that have been treasured by Jayhawks for decades. Lingelbach's school pride only grew stronger as she grew older. She graduated in 1944 and moved back as a 65-year-old. When asked why she moved back, she says, "I thought it sounded fun, don't you think?"
Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president for communications for the KU Alumni Association, says that part of what makes the University extraordinary is the shared experience of traditions that stays constant as the generations change. Lingelbach feels the same strong love that current students experience during their time on campus.
"If you could bottle up what it means to be a Jayhawk, you would never have to have another fundraiser again," Lingelbach says. "A person doesn't come out of KU without an enduring love for the school."
The Jayhawk is the honored mascot and symbol that students come to know and love during their years at the University. Sanner says that despite the different looks of the Jayhawk throughout the decades, it still has the same meaning. It is the only Jayhawk, and that brings a certain importance to the mascot that every generation understands.
Lingelbach says the Jayhawk is highly visible, and it embodies the love of the school.
"It's the kind of the thing where you say, 'I'm a Jayhawk,' and people know," Lingelbach says.
Jayhawk generations of the past and present have differences in their college experience, but the strong tradition remains the same, Lingelbach says. College is a time for learning, growing, and if you're a Kansas student, it's a period where you develop appreciation for what it truly means to be a Jayhawk.
Lingelbach advises students to cherish the years that go by quickly and make wonderful friendships and maintain close contact with those people.
"It's such a fine institution; you will never feel reluctance that you went to KU," Lingelbach says. "It's truly beautiful."
It doesn't matter how far a student moves away from Lawrence, the Kansas family spreads far and wide.
"The Jayhawk brings the family elements together and connects fans and allows them to communicate with each other," Sanner says.
The family is not like any other and every alumnus is a part of the thread that connects all Jayhawks in the world. It endures no matter what.
"You know what," Lingelbach says. "I believe in the crimson and the blue."

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students

Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences. Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetje cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.

course work.
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalllbrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing

ansas' run to the Final Four starts tonight and if the Jayhawks win it all, one Jayhawk fan might add to her already recognizable tattoo. It all started in 2000 when
Kat "KU Tatt Kat" Steward was inked up for the first time. The tattoo is located on her lower back and it is of a girl and a flower that she got for her younger sister.
Steward said her family members rolled their eyes like any parents would when their child gets a tattoo, but since that first tattoo, she has added eight more with her tattoo on her upper back being the most recognizable. The tattoo that spans her entire upper back, from shoulder to shoulder, is commemorative of Kansas basketball.
"I started that one in early 2007." Steward said. "It took a lot of time planning that one. It took about two months with sessions."
Steward said that the main part took about 15 hours and five or six sessions, but said she was doing a couple touch up pieces on some of her other tattoos. She said she had the main part done by the time ESPN College GameDay came to Lawrence for Kansas' matchup with Kansas State in 2008.
The original tattoo caught the attention of GameDay's host Rece Davis and analyst Digger Phelps at The Wheel. The producer told Steward to come early to get it on TV, but Steward wasn't early enough.
However, she has since had the opportunity to be on ESPN a few times, but that was after she added the '2008 National Champions' banner to the top.
"When I originally designed this I never planned on adding more to it."
She said people were joking that the tattoo was a good luck charm during the season, since she had it the whole season and didn't have it before.
Steward said. "As it kind of got toward looking like we might win it all, I talked to my artist and I said, 'I need an appointment just in case I want to add a banner.'"
She said adding the banner was the most painful part because it is at the top of the spine, but said the rest of the tattoo wasn't as bad. Her tattoo on the inside of her upper arm is the most painful tattoo that she has gotten.
The banner was added two weeks after the Jayhawks cut down the nets in San Antonio.
Steward didn't graduate from Kansas; she actually graduated from Wichita State with a degree in criminal justice, but since her dad introduced her to
basketball, specifically to Kansas, she has loved them.
The tattoo has garnered national attention, from ESPN's Pat Forde writing about it, to Erin Andrews interviewing her at College GameDay this season. She has posed for pictures with a number of players, past and present, and even coach Bill Self.
If the Jayhawks do end up cutting the nets down in Houston, Steward doesn't know if she will add on to her tattoo. If one of the players wants to get tattooed with her at the same time she might, but she doesn't see that happening.
"I honestly don't know. I've thought about it, maybe I would maybe I wouldn't, but I don't want or plan to keep adding should they win more," Steward said.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
WORDS BY IAN CUMMINGS
S sometimes, a name is just a name — even when the name in question seems completely uncommon and unique.
Just ask Jay Dulac, of Jayhawk HVAC in Santa Rosa, Calif. Or Carl Grady, of Jayhawk Detective Agency in Atlantic City, N.J.
They aren't University alumni, but they had their reasons for incorporating the mythical bird in the name of their businesses, including their own names and versions of historical events.
"It had nothing to do with Dorothy or Wizard of Oz or any of those people," Dulac says.
There are dozens of businesses and locales around the country that use Jav-
hawk in the name, and often they have nothing to do with the University of Kansas.
On the other hand, a traveler en route to Chicago or San Diego can always find a sports bar broadcasting a Kansas basketball game.
But it won't be called "Jayhawk's."
exclusively for Kansans - it also promotes Chicago Blackhawks hockey and Wisconsin basketball - but it does advertise all televised Kansas games.
Kansas fans in San Diego should be looking for The Boardwalk Mission Beach, 3704 Mission Blvd. The restaurant is available to Kansas fans for every game. Thanks to the owner, University alumnus Patrick Walsh, visitors can pick up a "Rock Chalk Boardwalk" t-shirt, too.
Dulac, the California HVAC man, says he has become a Kansas basketball fan from 21 years of cutting out newspaper clippings about their victories. But he originally named his business after himself - Jay - and a former business partner named Hawkyyard. His partner is no longer with him, Dulac says, but it would cost too much money and cause too much trouble to change the sign on the building.
In Chicago, Jayhawks can check out KU Trivia Night at Lottie's Pub & Grill. 1925 W. Cortland. The bar is not
Grady, the Atlantic City private detective, says he took the Jayhawk name for his business 25 years ago, after searching history for notable crime fighters.

KU fans cheer on the Jayhawks while enjoying a drink at Lottie's Pub & Grill in Chicago.
He went back in time, beyond the days of Bleeding Kansas, to the 1849 California Gold Rush.
"Back in the day, they were a group of people, like a posse, that would help people who were tormented," Grady says. "They were a good group of people, who helped people. Balanced the system."
The Jayhawk name seems to be more common in the western part of the country. In Colorado alone, one can find Jayhawk Trailers in Commerce City, Jayhawk Exteriors, Inc., in Bryers, and Jayhawk Woodcarving in Evergreen.
Grady says he considers himself a crime fighter in that same tradition, as he investigates misdeeds and missing persons all over the world.
Further west, in El Dorado County, Calif., county officials had to check with a local historian to determine if there is such as place as Jayhawk.
One possibility, he says, is that settlers brought the name with them in the Gold Rush. Another is that thieves and killers brought it west following the disorder of the Civil War.
County Supervisor Francis Carpenter confirms that Jayhawk is a nearby ghost town that has not been inhabited since the Civil War era. But Jayhawk Cemetery is still there.
As to where the name comes from, Carpenter can only guess.
There is some support for Grady's version of events - it seems likely that the term "Jayhawk" first appeared in 1849, long before Kansas became a state - but accounts differ greatly.
Back at the county office, Deputy Clerk Marcie MacFarland says it is the first she's ever heard of such a place as Jayhawk. For MacFarland, who moved to California from the northwest corner of Kansas at age 12, "Jayhawk" remains what it was for her when she drew pictures of it as a schoolgirl.
"They were, I guess, some pretty nasty people," Carpenter says.
"It means that big, funny-looking bird," she says.

FILLING THE FIELDHOUSE
WORDS BY ELISE REUTER
U fans both young and otogive the University a reputation for strong athletic teams and an even stronger sense of community. One of the most
One of the most memorable fans in KU history is Jimmy Neil Tucker, called "White Owl" in the KU community, a 64-year-old diehard Jayhawk fanatic with a long white beard. He is known for shouting pro-Jayhawk chants on the stairs of Wescoe Beach on campus and showing off his dance moves in the stands of Memorial Stadium. Crowned "Wild Fan of the Game" by Fox Sports Network in 2007, controversy followed White Owl during his reign as one of the University's most outrageous enthusiasts. After a series of complaints about his loud, sometimes disruptive, antics, White Owl was banned from campus in 2009. However, it is safe to say that the memory White Owl left behind will not soon be forgotten.
Older generations aren't the only
ones who express their undying love for the University in wacky ways. Fans flock to Allen Fieldhouse by the thousands, decked in gorilla suits and carrying signs with clever sayings like "Gettin' Withey With It." Then, after each basketball game, a group of faithful student fans wait patiently for hours to catch a glimpse of their favorite campus celebrities.
The fan base at KU is so strong that US News & World Report ranked the University as one of the best colleges for basketball fans. Jim Marchiony, the associate athletics director at the University, agrees that some credit for the Phog's reputation "is due to our fans, in particular our student fans. It intimidates opponents, and it jacks up our team, making Allen Fieldhouse one of the best places in the country for basketball."
Some of the more seasoned fans may have a long history with the team, like 104-year-old Olive Vorse, who celebrated her birthday by attending her first
basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse this year, after having followed the team on TV for years. But the younger fans show just as much dedication.
Chris Williams, a freshman from Olathe, is a long-standing KU fan who goes to great lengths to make sure his camping group always gets prime location in Allen Fieldhouse.
"My parents both went to KU, so I was raised crimson and blue," Williams says.
Williams has sported several off-the-wall outfits at Memorial Stadium, including a painted bare chest and a KU yeti costume. Williams says fans have a significant place in KU culture.
"They play a huge role. We have the best home court advantage in the nation because of 'em."
Brandon Peper, a sophomore from Jefferson City, Mo., is another dedicated fan, but with twist: he was raised in a house full of Missouri Tiger fans.
"Growing up, I wasn't a KU fan because my parents were graduates of
Mizzou and raised me to be that way also. Around seventh grade, I became a KU fan, and my love for KU has grown since then."
Peper still remembers when he endured the worst of weather conditions, with freezing temperatures and icy wind, in order to save his camping group's front row seats.
"My group had drawn number one at lottery, and we were super excited to have front row seats, because KU and KSU were both high-ranked teams, and Wayne Simien's jersey was being retired that night," Peper says. However, he had to work for his camping group, getting up at 6 a.m. to walk through deep snow and ten-below weather.
Both Williams and Peper agree that the University would not be the same without the support of the students. "Without a strong student population, KU would not exist as we know it today," Peper says.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences. Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Kojee cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical
All sections will be longer, lengthening the test from five-and-a-half to seven hours.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
course work.
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.
Kojee said students can find additional information at kaplan-cat.com, or by following @kaplan on twitter and "liking" Kaplan on facebook.
"I would encourage students at the University of Kansas to stay tuned and follow along," Koetje said.
"I hope the changes in the MCAT is an opportunity for all institutions to look at more holistic measures for admissions," Chumley said.

JAYHAWKS FOREVER Missouri town protests mascot
Leaders of a small city in Missouri claim their resolution criticizing the naming of University of Kansas' Jayhawk was taken too seriously.
The Osceola Board of Aldermen passed the resolution in September of 2011 for the 150th anniversary of the devastating attack by the Kansas-native raiding Jayhawkers on the city.
In the resolution, the city officially acknowledged that the attack in 1861 occurred and led to William Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in 1863, in which "Missourians had no choice but to defend themselves from the murderous attacks perpetrated by the Jayhawkers."
As a result, it officially condemned Kansas' use of the Jayhawk as a mascot and requested that no citizen of Osecola or alumni of the University of Missouri capitalize the "K" in any form of "Kansas," stating it isn't a proper name or place.
The resolution prompted a response by KU News Director Jill Jess.
"A Jayhawk is a blue bird with a red head and a big yellow beak that wears
boots," Jess stated in an email response to the Columbia Tribute. "It would be hard to confuse it with terrorist intent, though we admit we have been terrorizing the Tigers on the basketball court for some time. Tigers have been known to kill people. Bears, too."
As local and national media wrote about the resolution, Osceola Mayor Larry Hutsler said it was originally meant to be taken lightheartedly.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little also commented on the resolution during a fireside chat. "We considered their suggestions yesterday from 5 p.m. to 5:01 p.m. It has been taken into consideration. We are not planning on eliminating the Jayhawk name from our mascot."
"It was a fun poke at Lawrence and the University from the University of Missouri," Hutsler says. "It was brought up at the anniversary of the burning and was supposed to be a funny satire joke to promote a fun, competitive rivalry, but it didn't turn out that way."
sities, known as the "Border War," or "Border Showdown," is the second oldest in NCAA's football bowl subdivision, and goes back to the Civil War, when independent Kansan and Missourian forces burned and looted towns in both states.
This attack was a prime motivator for William Quantrill's infamous raid on Lawrence, which resulted in the deaths of more than 180 men and the destruction of several Lawrence businesses.
The rivalry between the two univer-
In 1861, a group of Kansan raiders known as the "Jayhawkers," led by U.S. Senator and Gen. James Lane, sacked Osceola and plundered much of its wealth. Nine Osceolan men were given a swift trial and executed. At the time, Osceola was one of the largest cities in Missouri with a population of about 3,000. The attack left the city in ruins and the town never fully recovered. According to the 2010 Census, it currently has a population of 947.
The raid caused heated backlash and a deep animosity between the two states, which is represented today by
the sports rivalry between the Jayhawks and the Tigers.
Words by Vikaas Shanker
Although 150 years separates the two events, some Missourians are still concerned that history is not being represented fairly.
Mitchell Moore, a Missouri graduate and lawyer in Columbia, Mo., came up with the idea of the Osceola resolution to educate the public on Osceola's sacking.
"Every time we have these [Border War games] on TV, commentators talk about the raid on Lawrence but leave out Osceola," he says. "It bothered me that they would adopt the Kansas narrative. So, I was coming up with a way, with the anniversary approaching, to commemorate the folks in Osceola."
Moore took the idea to colleagues and had a contest to come up with the best resolution. "A lot of it was tongue-in-cheek with the purpose to educate people on what happened to Lawrence and Osceola," he says. "The narrative about the roots of the Border War is clarified and more accurate."

BEHIND THE MIC
WORDS BY NATHAN FORDYCE PHOTO BY JESSICA JANASZ
adidas PRO
He retired after calling 60 years of Jayhawk basketball and football games. He had the privilege of calling two national championships for the
basketball team and is a Hall of Fame broadcaster. That man is Max Falkenstien, the Jayhawk legend behind the microphone.
"I had close access to the players and saw them frequently as a kid. I went to the games all my childhood, as well as into high school," Falkenstien says. "I've basically been associated with KU Athletics my entire life. I guess you could say I'm a bona fide Jayhawk."
He originally wanted to be a meteorologist with his mathematics degree, but accidentally got the broadcasting job when he returned from the Army Air Corps in the spring of 1946, and decided to resume his career.
"The radio station manager told me that there was a big game in Kansas City and that we ought to broadcast it on the station, do you want to do it," Falkenstien says. "I said 'Well, I never did a game on the radio but I'll give it a shot.'"
That game was against Oklahoma A&M, now Oklahoma State University, and was an NCAA district final game. Falkenstien had admirers from that game, allowing him to continue on with his broadcasting career.
"I came back to school on the following Monday, and my mathematics professor said he listened to the game on Saturday and he felt like he was really there," Falkenstien says. "Not many guys in the business have started off with an NCAA playoff game for their first broadcast game, but I did."
TRIP THROUGH MEMORY LANE
Falkenstien has had several great memories throughout his 60-year broadcasting career. Though it's hard to pick which stood out the most, he relies on what the Jayhawks are known for: national championships.
"You'd have to certainly single out the three basketball national championships that I was a part of. Of course we won it in '52, with Clyde Lovellette, the nation's leading scorer. The next year we almost won it again, but we lost to Indiana in the championship game," Falkenstien says. "Then '88 with Danny [Manning] and 'Miracles,' and then the great 2008 team with Mario's [Chalmers] miracle shot."
Bob Davis, Falkenstien's broadcasting partner for 22 years, agreed that the 1988 national title was a special moment and one the two can always share. "It is one we will always remember," Davis says about calling the game with Falkenstien.
SIGNING OFF THE MIC
Falkenstien's last broadcast was in 2006. In Allen Fieldhouse at the last home game, he was honored at halftime. He had his "number," 60, raised to the rafters as the University retired it, becoming the first non-athlete to be granted the honor.
Falkenstien says he doesn't have any regrets about his long career, but he does wish he could have waited. He wrote a book in 2007 titled, "A Good Place to Stop: 60 Seasons with Max and the Jayhawks." Originally he thought it was a great title, but now?
"I titled it 'A Good Place to Stop,' but actually that was a bad place to stop. Right after I stopped, we won the national championship in basketball and the Orange Bowl
in football. I should've stayed two more years and then that would've been a good place to stop." Falkenstien jokingly says. "Instead of the last game I ever broadcasted, it was a loss against Bradley in the first round of the tournament."
Falkenstien says he doesn't dwell on the last game because of so many other high points in his career.
ONE FINAL WORD
For Falkenstien, it's not the job he misses as much as it's being around the players and coaches. "I don't miss doing the broadcast. I do miss the association with the players and the intimacy with the coaches as you travel with the team," Falkenstien says.
When he retired, Falkenstien had broadcasted more than 1,750 basketball games and more than 750 football games. He was inducted into the College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. Also in 2001, he was named the "Best College Radio Personality" by The Sporting News.
Falkenstien still enjoys going to every game the Jayhawks play at Allen Fieldhouse. He says people still come up to him and ask for pictures and autographs and some parents tell their children about what all he did.

t's the end of the first full week of classes, and the Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire, is packed with students waiting to see an encore performance from a local hip-hop artist.
A week has passed since the up-and-coming artist, BeeJay "B DOUBLE E" McLoyd, shot his music video at the same location for the newest University of Kansas anthem with videographer Alan Ginsberg, Great Neck, N.Y., senior.
McLoyd, 24, got his start freestyling at house parties, and has only been rapping officially for three years. He then burst on to the local hip-hop scene with the song "Red and Blue," a remix of "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa. McLoyd wanted to create "Red and Blue," because he thought he could do a better remix. He said he thought that a lot of the other people doing college remixes aren't as serious as he is when it comes to music.
The Barrel House welcomed more than 300 students in downtown Lawrence to see Kansas City's up-and-coming hip-hop artist BeeJay McLoyd, who has recorded a new song, entitled "Red and Blue," inspired by the University of Kansas' colors.
McLoyd decided he wanted to wait until Big 12 play to do the remix. Once he
finished the song four weeks ago, he was ready to create the music video, but said he decided to wait two weeks so he could work with Ginsberg, because he believes in the way Ginsberg shoots.
"Alan's my boy," McLoyd said. "We've been meaning to work together for the last two, three months."
The two shot the video in about two days at various locations around Lawrence. They used the Barrel House because of the red walls, along with The Cave and the top of the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave.
"We talk a lot," Ginsberg said. "He gives me his ideas, I give him my ideas, and we have a good trust. It's a good collaboration process."
Ginsberg said that the video had to be shot in Lawrence because of the symbolic nature of red and blue to the University of Kansas. He said he likes working with McLoyd, because he knows a lot of people and good places to film, which really helps Ginsberg.
McLoyd is opening up for the Ying Yang Twins on Saturday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts. He said he has two mixtapes coming out on Feb.8,and that he took the show,because it is another way to promote the mixtapes and get his name out there.

JAYHAWK PRIDE THROUGH FAME
WORDS BY NATHAN FORDYCE
The University of Kansas has had a rich history that has produced 13 Pulitzer Prize winners, three NASA astronauts, numerous MacArthur Fellow recipients, hall of fame players and coaches, Hollywood icons and award winners in their respective fields. The famous alumni of the University have helped shape what the University stands for and also how others view it. Being a Jayhawk brings pride and tradition, and these fellow Jayhawks not only did great things while being in Lawrence, but they accomplished great feats once they left.
WILLIAM INGE
(MAY 3, 1913 - JUNE 10, 1973)
Inge graduated from the University of Kansas in 1935 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in speech and drama. Inge made a name for himself in the bright lights of Hollywood and reached his peak
of greatness when he won an Oscar for best writing, story and screenplay for his film "Splendor in the Grass" in 1962. Before he made it big in Hollywood, he worked on Broadway where he was the playwright for five plays. In 1953, his play, "Picnic," won a Pulitzer Prize for drama.
NANCY LANDON KASSEBAUM
(JULY 29. 1932 - )
Nancy Landon Kassebaum graduated from University of Kansas in 1954 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science. Kassebaum used her degree to perfection as she worked under former Kansas senator James B. Pearson. She decided to run for senator when Pearson declined to run again. In 1979, she became the first female U.S. senator, whom was elected without her husband previously serving in Congress. She held the seat in senate from 1979

Contributed by the Spencer Research Library A young Clyde Tombaugh peers through a telescope. Tombaugh went on to discover hundreds of stars, star clusters, and even a planet after his years at the University.
William Mervin Mills (or Makata Taka Hela), better known as Billy Mills, competed on the track team as a distance runner. He was named an NCAA All-American three times as a Jayhawk. In 1960, he won the individual title in the Big Eight cross country championship. While he was on the team, the Jayhawks won the 1959 and 1960 outdoor national championships. In 1964, Mills did something no American had ever done. While competing at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, he won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter race. Not only was he the first American to do so, but he was also only the second Native American to win an Olympic gold medal.
BRIAN MCCLENDON (1964 - )
McClendon was born and raised in Lawrence. He attended Lawrence High School before coming to the University of Kansas. He graduated as a Jayhawk in 1986 with a degree in electrical engineering. McClendon is currently the vice president of engineering with Google Inc. He was personally responsible for the creation of Google Earth, Maps, Local Search, Sketchup, Moon, Ocean and Sky. When Google Earth is opened, McClendon's roots are revealed. He made his home in Lawrence the default center of Google Earth.
GALE SAYERS
(MAY 30, 1943 - )
The "Kansas Comet" left the University of Kansas in 1964 and entered the 1965 NFL Draft. During his stint at the University, Sayers was a two-time All-American during the 1963 and the 1964 seasons. He rushed for 2,675 yards and had 3,917 of all-purpose yards. While he was a Jayhawk for the three seasons, he led the team in rushing, touchdowns and kickoff returns. Sayers then left the Jayhawks and was selected by the Chicago Bears in the 1965 Draft with the fourth overall pick. As a rookie, he set the record for most touchdowns scored with 14 rushing, six receiving, one punt return and one kick return for a touchdown. Sayers went onto to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1977 and in the same year, he was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame. Sayers was selected as a part of the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team and the NFL 1600s All-Decade Team.
DEAN SMITH (FEB. 28, 1931 -)
Smith is considered one of the greatest basketball coaches of all-time, but many do not realize he attended the University of Kansas, because all of his success as a coach came at the University of North Carolina. Smith played for the legendary coach, Forrest "Phog" Allen. While playing at KU, Smith was not only on the basketball team, but he also competed on the baseball team, freshman football team and was a member of the Air Force ROTC. While a member of the KU basketball team, they won the 1952 national title and were runner-up in 1953. Smith's legacy was just beginning, as he would go on to retire as the all-time winningest coach in college basketball history with 879 victories. He has the ninth highest winning percentage of any men's basketball coach with 77.6 percent. He won two national titles with the Tar Heels and was elected into Basketball Hall of Fame (1983), the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame (2006, its inaugural class) and the FIBA Hall of Fame (2007, its inaugural class).
CLYDE TOMBAUGH
(FEB. 4, 1906-JAN. 17, 1997)
Tombaugh graduated from the University of Kansas in 1936 with a bachelor degree in astronomy, and also in 1938 when he earned his master's in astronomy as well. He was one who looked toward the stars, and one day, he changed the way the world viewed the planets or the number of planets that is. In 1930, Tombaugh discovered the 9th planet, Pluto. Pluto is no longer recognized as a planet as of 2006, but for 76 years, a Jayhawk had wings to outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy. Tombaugh also discovered about 800 asteroids, hundreds of variable stars, star clusters, galaxy clusters and a galaxy supercluster.

Changes to MCAT will affect incoming students
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

Freshmen pursuing pre-medical education at the University of Kansas will face a significantly different MCAT on their road to medical school this fall. Although recently announced changes to the MCAT will not affect current pre-medical or medical students, they do reflect a shift in the medical community to emphasize a more holistic approach to treating patients.
"Doctors need to be effectively trained in working with real people and the complex factors they face," said Dr. Jeff Koetje, the Kaplan national director for pre-health programs. "Historically, doctors have been criticized with dealing with patients as organ systems or diseases."
Changes to the MCAT will include more upper-level biology and chemistry to the biosciences, elimination of the writing portion and a new section covering behavior and social sciences. Koetje said. The added section intends to convey the complexity of factors affecting patients' health, including language, culture, economics, value systems and ethics.
While Koetie cited that 73 percent of surveyed medical school admission officers approve of the change, only 50 percent believe that undergraduate programs will have enough time to make the necessary curriculum changes.
Paul Crosby, pre-medical advisor for the University, is excited for the coming changes but is concerned about the changes to pre-medical

course work.
"Having custom courses sounds great," Crosby said. "However, it's very expensive, and this would place a great burden on small colleges. Overly specialized courses would not prepare students as well for further learning and other career possibilities."
The MCAT has been part of the medical school admission process for 73 years, and this is the fifth revision of the test. The last changes were made in 1991.
Heidi Chumley, senior associate dean for medical education at KU Medical Center, sees the changes as long awaited. While medical school admissions will have to recalibrate the weight MCAT scores have on admission standards, Chumley sees other aspects of admission, such as grades, the in-person interview and written answers, as continuing
Last year, 173 KU students applied for medical school. Koetje encourages pre-medical students to keep up to date with changes, which are slated to go into effect in 2015.

Fraternity chapter reinstated, returns
KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com
A decade ago, Alpha Tau Omega was an ailing fraternity, but a group of students have nursed it back to health.
The fraternity lost its charter in 2002 after struggling to recruit and retain members because of a hazing scandal. After several attempts at re-establishing ATO's presence on campus, 18 students banded together and worked to rebuild the fraternity in 2010.
On Feb 18, their efforts paid off when they were officially given a charter.
"I don't think we appreciated that we were re-founding a fraternity at KU that had been around for 100 years and had this great history and done all these great things," said Zack McQuiston, a junior from Shawnee and one of the 18 founding members of the new chapter.
With no experience running an organization or being a part of a fraternity, McQuiston said
members were unsure about how to proceed for the first six months. Consultants from ATO's national office made several visits a year to help members establish the fraternity and work toward becoming a fully recognized chapter.
As people became aware that ATO was once again on campus, McQuiston started receiving emails from alumni voicing their support.
Interfraternity Council (IFC) president Stephen Nichols, a junior from Leawood, said ATO set an example of how to rebuild after controversy.
"ATO has a long history or campus, and it was horrible when it disappeared for them," Nichols said. "I think it got to a point where they needed to re-evaluate and reassess, and that's exactly what Zack and these other guys did. They definitely went about it in a way that we want all of our fraternities to."
Nichols said that ATO worked to make sure they were also contributing to the community and not just forming a fraternity.
McQuiston, who served as president for several years, was excited to hear the news that the charter was finally being approved after waiting for more than six months.
"It was a relief, for sure," McQuiston said. "I think there was kind of a sense among the group, especially among the original 18 guys, that we were ready."
Jake Klenda, a junior from Wichita, and president of the fraternity said that to obtain a charter, ATO had to have 45 members to prove there was interest and volunteer in Lawrence.
"Being a full chapter instead of a colony means a lot," Klenda said. "Hopefully we can just continue to move in the right direction."
Klenda said he hopes the fraternity focuses on maintaining their grades and fundraising.
Edited by Jeff Karr
Alpha Tau Omega had its charter revoked 10 years ago after hazing issues. Now the fraternity has reformed and received a new charter.
1994 The fraternity's house undergoes renovations costing $1 million. The chapter has trouble making payments after members leave and recruitment slows.
1997 30 members are forced from the house after a hazing incident.
2002 The chapter loses its charter.
2006 ATO tries to launch a new colony but plans are put off after recruiting problems.
2010 ATO tries to launch a colony again and succeeds.

New HAWK signals confuse both drivers and pedestrians
12th Ave.
The corner of 12th and Tennessee streets has two newly installed crosswalks. The new lights, or HAWK signals have created confu- sion for pedestrians and drivers stopped at the intersection.
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
HAWK signals may sound like a term fit for the city of Lawrence, but the new pedestrian-activated crosswalks are causing some confusion for students and drivers.
Two High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks, or HAWK signals have been installed at 12th and Tennessee and 12th and Kentucky streets as part of the Oread Neighborhood Lighting Project. The signals were turned on for the first time Jan.13.
The lights extend over the road like traditional traffic signals, but only turn on when activated by a pedestrian. David Woosley, City of Lawrence traffic engineer, said the light begins blinking yellow in order to catch the driver's attention.
Next, the light changes to solid yellow, which acts like a traditional yield signal on any traffic light. Then, a solid-double red light appears and signals the drivers to stop. Then after seven seconds, the red light begins flashing, signaling that drivers still must stop, but can then proceed if the crosswalk
is clear. After that, the light will turn green for traffic to continue as usual before shutting off altogether. The entire process takes less than 30 seconds.
The two lights mark the seventh and eighth HAWK signal in Lawrence, but Woosley said the signals still create confusion.
"Anything that's new is confusing for all of us," Woosley said. "There is a certain learning curve before people understand how they operate."
The lights are designed to save energy and interrupt traffic for the least amount of time necessary for someone to safely cross the street, but Ryan Gaines, a nearby resident and former University student, wonders why it doesn't operate like standard traffic lights.
"I don't know why it can't just be on all the time," Gaines said. "If one person doesn't know what to do, it just holds up traffic."
Woosley said the city looks at installing the lights after requests have been made and an investigation is performed.
"Sometimes it's because there is a school nearby, and there isn't a
safe place to cross," Woosley said. "Other times it's pedestrian requests, but we look at the number of vehicles on the road to see if it's feasible."
Kentucky and Tennessee streets have between 7,000 and 10,000 cars a day, a number not surprising to Abby Benson, a nearby resident and former University student.
"We were excited when we saw they were putting them in at first because there are so many cars, and they just fly by," Benson said. "But I guess I don't understand why they couldn't put up a sign saying what each signal means."
Though puzzling at first, Gaines said he would rather the signals be confusing than unsafe.
"I do like having them there just because it does slow down traffic, and I see so many people using them walking to campus," Gaines said. "It's definitely better than having someone get run over or something."

Students prep to rally for elections
editor@kansan.com
ALLISON KOHN
The University's Young Democrats and College Republicans are boosting political awareness on campus as the presidential election draws closer. Both organizations encourage students to play an active role during this campaign season.
If you're in college, it's easy to just pretend it doesn't apply to you," said Evan Gates, co-president of Young Democrats. "But politics apply to everything you're doing in college. You're gong to need a job, you may or may not have student loans, you go to a public university; all of those things are up for debate this year."
Gates, a junior from Wichita, said Young Democrats will focus on building a larger student base this year. The group will work closely with the Douglas County Democratic Party as November approaches.
"KU and Douglas County are typically overwhelmingly democratic, but they are still Kansas democrats, so they still fall to the moderate democratic spectrum in the whole party," Gates said.
College Republicans president Ashley Moretti, who is also the vice president of the Kansas Federation of College Republicans, said assisting local officials during campaign season is the main focus of the group this semester.
Moretti, a senior from Wichita, recently attended the Kansas GOP Convention in Kansas City with other members of College Republicans. The group will also send more than 20 volunteers to the Douglas County caucus on March 10. Moretti said that the Kansas caucus will likely draw needed attention to the state.
"Our biggest job is getting Republican candidates voted in locally, in the county and then obviously for 2012, so we will be working on senate campaigns and the presidential campaign," Moretti said.
"I think the fact that Kansas is scheduling their caucus at the same time as Missouri's caucus is really going to bring a lot of energy to Kansas and attention from the national media," Moretti said. "Kansas will be mentioned nationally, and that's something we're usually looked over with our votes, so I do think the Douglas County caucus matters."

Dole Institute of Politics, the College Republicans co-sponsored former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty's visit to campus. The group will host other events this semester, including a guest panel of Douglas County officials.
Gates said the Young Democrats will participate in Washington Days, the Kansas Democratic Party's convention in Topeka, featuring former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell as the keynote speaker. Additionally, the group will host social events to keep students engaged.
"We will meet at least once a month formally, but also plan social events," said Kristin Nance, a junior from Topeka and Young Democrats' co-president. "Everyone can come and hang out and talk about politics or not talk about politics, but it gives students a chance to be a part of the group."
"Regardless of party, we want to register voters," Gates said. "As elections get closer, we hope that through tabling and other events, we can get students excited again, regardless of who they are voting for, because a lot of students just don't think it's important, and it is."
Earlier this semester, with the
Both groups will be tabling on campus later this semester to register students to vote. Gates said voter registration plays a large role in sparking student interest.
"I want the kid with 'R' behind their name; that's always been a big push," Moretti said. "If you're conservative or you're libertarian, put the R behind your name so we can work together for ultimately more freedom, more choice and being more individualistic."
Moretti hopes to see more students taking a partisan stance.
Nance said political involvement and building a strong political understanding will help students remain responsible members of the community.
"If students are involved, they are also going to be more aware, more educated and all around better citizens because they have a stake and they understand." Nance said. "They will be able to get out and vote not only now but continue later in life."

Polls: Obama has won back some support from women
Washington — It's looking like President Barack Obama may be back in the good graces of women.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
His support dropped among this critical constituency just before the new year began and the presidential campaign got under way in earnest. But his standing with female voters is strengthening, polls show, as the economy improves and social issues, including birth control, become a bigger part of the nation's political discourse.
"Republicans are making a big mistake with this contraception talk, and I'm pretty sure that they are giving (the election) to Obama," says Patricia Speyerer, 87, of Macomb, Miss., a GOP-leaning independent. "It's a stupid thing."
The recent furloug over whether religious employers should be
Among women, his approval ratings on handling the economy and unemployment have jumped by 10 percentage points since December. Back then, a wide swath of Americans expressed anxiety over the nation's slow climb out of recession and anger at a government that couldn't agree on steps to speed things up.
An Associated Press-GfK poll suggests women also are giving the president more credit than men are for the country's economic turnaround.
Since then, the unemployment rate has kept declining, and Obama hasn't been shy about trumpeting
For Obama, there is no more crucial constituency than women. They make up a majority of voters in presidential elections, and a bit more of them identify with his party. He would not be president today without topping Republican John McCain in that group in 2008. And Republicans would need to win a sizable share — more than about 40 percent — of female voters to beat him.
Though the economy remains the top concern among both women and men, an array of social issues — gay marriage, access to birth control and whether cancer research should be kept separate from the issue of abortion— have returned to the nation's political conversation since December.
it, and analysts say that drop may have resonated particularly with women.
forced to pay for their workers' contraception is certainly a factor but hardly the only reason for women warming up to Obama again after turning away from him late last year.

An Afghan police officer inspects a vehicle that was damaged at the scene of a suicide attack on Monday, Feb. 27. The suicide attack killed nine people.
Car bomber kills nine at NATO base
The bombing in the city of Jalailab follows six days of deadly protests in the country over the disposal of Qurans and other Islamic texts in a burn pit last week at a U.S. military base north of Kabul.
American officials have called the disposal of the books a mistake and have issued a series of apologies.
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide car bomber rammed his vehicle into the gates of a NATO base and airport in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, triggering a blast that killed nine Afghanis, officials said. The Taliban claimed the attack was revenge for U.S. troops burning copies of the Quran.
Runoff required in Sengalese election
AFRICA
The normally loquacious leader didn't take questions and appeared subdued as he met reporters for the first time since Sunday's contentious election, which was preceded by weeks of protests calling for the leader's departure.
DAKAR, Senegal — After days of predicting that he would win a third term with a crushing majority, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade on Monday acknowledged that he had not gotten enough votes to avoid a runoff.
Wade said that with more than half of the vote counted, he was leading 13 other candidates with 32.17 percent.
Experts say that for the 85-year-old to remain in power he needed
to win on the first round when the opposition was split between multiple candidates. In a runoff, his chances of winning are slimmer because the opposition will be united behind a single contender.
This nation of more than 12 million on Africa's western coast is considered one of the oldest and most robust democracies on the continent, but for weeks daily life has been upended by protests calling for Wade to resign.
Analysts have warned of further unrest if Wade were to win the election, and the specter of more violence has eroded the image of a nation that has been held up as a model of stability.

Journalists in Syria may be evacuated
WARSAW, Poland — Poland's diplomats are working to get wounded Western journalists evacuated from the Syrian city of Homs and the bodies of a U.S. journalist and a French photographer out of the country, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.
Also Monday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he believes the two killed journalists were "assassinated" and that Syria's President Bashar Assad "must go."
Earlier this month, Poland's Embassy in Damascus took charge of representing U.S. interests in Syria, after Washington closed its mission there as a sanction against the escalating violence.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Marcin Bosacki told The Associated Press that Poland's Embassy is cooperating with
U. S., British and French diplomats and with Syrian authorities in efforts "to obtain the evacuation of Western journalists from Homs" and to bring out the bodies of American Marie Colvin and Frenchman Remi Ochlik. Bosacki said the situation was "complicated" and declined to give more details.
Colvin, 56, a veteran correspondent for The Sunday Times of London, and Ochilk, 28, a photojournalist, died Wednesday in a rocket attack on the besieged city of Homs.
Two other journalists, French Edith Bouvier of Le Figaro and British photographer Paul Conroy of the Sunday Times, were wounded in the attack. They have both asked for help leaving the embattled city, which has emerged as the heart of the revolt against Assad's rule.

Forces stop Putin assassination plot
MOSCOW — Security forces have foiled a Chechen-linked plot to assassinate Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, state television reported Monday in a broadcast likely to boost support for Putin's bid to regain the presidency.
Other candidates immediately questioned the timing of the report, which comes just days before Sunday's presidential
1825
election and as Putin and his United Russia party face unprecedented protests following a scandal-marred parliamentary election in December.
Putin
The Communist Party candidate called the assassination report a "cheap trick."
The report, which included two televised confessions, said suspects in the assassination plot have been arrested in Ukraine and were linked to a Chechen rebel leader who has claimed responsibility for other terror attacks in Russia.
Putin, who was Russia's president from 2000 to 2008 and has been prime minister since then, is running for a third, now six-year presidential term. He is expected to win easily against four Kremlin-approved challengers, but a wave of protests since December's tainted parliamentary election has undermined his image as a strong, popular leader.

Woman crushed to death by unsafe elevator
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - An important elevator safety mechanism was turned off when an advertising executive was crushed to death trying to take the lift to her office, city investigators found in a report released Monday.
A mechanic overrode the mechanism, a safety circuit that normally prevents elevators from moving with their doors open, to enable work on the midtown Manhattan elevator about a half-hour before an elevator did just that and killed Suzanne Hart on Dec. 14, the city Department of Investigation and Department of Buildings found.
The mechanic insisted hed put the safety system back online by the time Hart tried to step into the car, but investigators concluded the mechanism "was apparently bypassed at the time of the fatal incident, thereby allowing the car to move with its doors open," the investigation agency said.
The Buildings Department, meanwhile, suspended the elevator repair company owner's license. He failed to notify the agency and get an OK to put the car back in service after the repairs that day, among other missteps, officials said.
"The investigation starkly showed elevator safety protocols were ignored," Department of Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said in a statement.
The elevator repair company, Transl Elevator Inc., called the accident a tragedy and said it would fight the investigation's findings and the move to strip co-owner John Fichera's license. Isabelle A. Kirshner, a lawyer for mechanic Michael Hill, said she was reviewing the reports but noted he had been "completely cooperative" with the investigation.
The Manhattan district attorney's office was reviewing the report, the product of an investigation that entailed interviewing
several workers, reviewing video footage and even recreating an incident that crystallized the fears of many who rely on elevators in a city of skyscrapers.
Hart, 41, was heading to her office at the advertising agency Y&R, formerly known as Young & Rubicam, when she tried to get into one of several elevators in the lobby of 285 Madison Ave., a 27-story tower built in 1926. Two other people were already in the elevator.
As they looked on in horror, it started rising with the doors still open, dragging Hart between the car and the wall. It got stuck between the first and second floors.
"These workers and their supervisors failed to follow the most basic safety procedures, and their carelessness cost a woman her life," Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri said in a statement. Besides putting the elevator back into service without proper clearance, workers didn't
follow simple precautions such as strapping caution tape across the elevator door, the agency said.
"If these safety measures were in place, this tragedy would have been prevented," Li Mandri added. His agency already has cited Transel with 23 violations carrying a minimum penalty of $117,000.
Investigators considered a range of possibilities, including faulty wiring, a power surge and a programming or brake failure. But they ultimately concluded that the only way the elevator could have started moving under the circumstances was with the safety circuit bypassed.
Mechanic Michael Hill initially told investigators he had no idea why the elevator might have moved with the doors open. Weeks later, he told them under oath that he had temporarily hooked up a wire on the elevator control panel to bypass the safety circuit earlier that morning, the report said.

Molly Wei testifies during the trial of Dharun Ravi at the Middlesex County Courthouse on Monday, Feb. 27, in New Brunswick, N.J. Ravi is accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommate, Tyler Clementi, having an intimate encounter with another man. Days later, Clementi committed suicide. Ravi, 20, faces 15 criminal charges, including invasion of privacy and bias intimidation, a hate crime punishable by up to 10 years in state prison.
Witness testifies in Rutgers suicide case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A key prosecution witness in the trial of a former Rutgers University student accused of watching his roommate's intimate encounter via webcam testified Monday that she agreed to keep it a secret because it was so shocking to see the images — but that wasn't under wraps for long.
"First of all, it was shocking. It felt wrong. We didn't expect to see that. And now that what we did, it was like we shouldn't have seen it," Molly Wei told jurors. "We didn't want people to know what had happened."
But within minutes, she testified,
she and defendant Dharun Ravi
were online chatting with friends
about seeing two men kissing.
And within the hour, Wei said, she
agreed to show a few seconds of the
video stream to four other women
who visited her dorm room.
Ravi's roommate, 18-year-old Tyler Clementi, jumped to his death from New York's George Washington Bridge in September 2010, days after the spying and the gossip about it online and in their dorm.
Still, she said, Ravi did not intend to humiliate his roommate.
Ravi, who turns 20 on Tuesday, faces 15 criminal counts, including invasion of privacy and bias intimidation. To convict him of bias intimidation, the most serious charge he faces, prosecutors would have to persuade jurors that Ravi acted out of bias toward gays.
Wei, 19, was charged initially but entered a program that will allow her to keep her record clean if she meets a list of conditions, including doing community service, working or attending school full-time. She also agreed to cooperate with authorities and testify truthfully in Ravi's trial.
She said she has completed about 250 of the 300 hours of community service required.
There is one requirement that was changed for her. She was to go through a program on cyberbullying or dealing with people with "alternative lifestyles". Since no program like that was offered in Middlesex County, she instead saw a psychologist.
Unlike other more casually
dressed college students who have testified so far in the trial, Wei wore a black business suit. And unlike the others, she kept her voice audible even during the most uncomfortable moments.
She said that she invited Ravi, whom she had known since middle school, to her dorm room for a snack a few minutes after 9 p.m. on Sept. 19, 2010. When Ravi tried to go back, she said, Clementi told him that he wanted the cramped dorm room to himself for a few hours. So Ravi returned.
Within a few minutes, she said, he used her computer to view live images from his webcam. It was then, she said, that she saw about two seconds of Clementi and an older man kissing.
Even though she said they initially agreed not to talk about what they had seen, she asked Ravi to tell a friend about it during an online chat that began at 9:20 p.m. And within minutes, word got around the dorm.
She said she agreed to turn the webcam back on at the request of a woman who was among a group that dropped by her room.
"It was the exact same image, except that they had taken their tops off," she said. "As soon as they saw it, I turned it off."
Ravi's defense lawyer, Steven Altman, asked a series of questions about Ravi's intentions.
— "Dharun never told you he wants you to go around telling everybody about what you saw on those two seconds Sunday night?"
— “Dharun never told you he wanted to make Tyler uncomfortable?”
— “Dharun never told you he wanted to intimidate Tvler?”
To each, she answered, "No."
Wei was expected to be back on the witness stand for more cross-examination on Tuesday.
Also Monday, jurors heard from university official William O'Brien that Clementi requested a room change about 30 hours after the alleged spying — and a day before he killed himself.
O'Brien, associate director of residence life at Rutgers, told jurors that his staff did not see Clementi's request for a new roommate until after he was reported missing from campus.

BDA VAWBCAWCK AQHTBAY
For anyone who's followed the riptide history of the Beach Boys, this is a future that seemed very unlikely; after years of feuds and legal filings — most notably by Love, who sued to get his share of royalties — who would have expected Love, Brian Wilson and Al Jardine to be in harmony again? The trio are joined by two other longtime members, Bruce Johnston and David Marks, for the golden anniversary tour, which includes a June 2 stop at the Hollywood Bowl, a booking that is sand-packed with Southern California music history.
"It is weird," said Mike Love, who turns 71 next month, about singing those young man's lines from "Wouldn't It Be Nice." "We do another one," 'When I Grow up to Be a Man' — the opening is incredible, it's got fantastic harmonies — but yeah, it's written from the point of a young guy looking to the future and here we are, very much in that future."

LOS ANGELES — The sands of time can be cruel, sure, but sometimes they settle for wryly ironic. After years apart, the three surviving founding members of the Beach Boys will launch a 50-date, 50th anniversary tour in April and at every show they will ask the musical question,
"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?"

More than that, the reconstituted Beach Boys have also been in the studio at Ocean Way Recording on Sunset Boulevard — a site that was called United Western Recorders back when they recorded much of "Pet Sounds" there — and say that they are about halfway through a new album.
The world got a glimpse of the new old group Feb. 12 at the 54th annual Grammy Awards, and the performance was a reminder that Wilson has an air of fragility around him and — despite his undisputed stature as sonic genius — his stage capabilities are limited, to say the least.
"We just had to make our minds up to do it," Wilson said. "It's a thrill, I like being with the guys. I didn't see them for a long, long time and then I've been seeing them recently because we're getting ready for our tour."
Gary Bongiovanni of Pollstar, the concert industry trade publication, said after years of knock-off tours (by groups that used the name but usually had only one Beach Boy member on stage) this real-deal edition of the group has sunny prospects.
Johnston knows that when audiences are paying for tickets, the group will have to live up to its own legend.

Oscars struggle to incoporate diversity
2/28
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — With open arms, the Oscars welcomed diversity back to its ceremony, but the embrace turned out to be more awkward than warm.
Last year's Academy Awards were roundly criticized by several observers for its notable lack of diversity. Actor Samuel L. Jackson felt the omission was so glaring, he sent an angry email to a Los Angeles Times reporter saying that black actors were apparently not "hip enuf" for the awards show.
But the 84th Academy Awards on Sunday was noticeably more diverse, placing blacks in marque spots throughout the ceremony.
Even before host Billy Crystal took the stage, Morgan Freeman spoke about the glory of films. James Earl Jones received one of the first salutes from Crystal. Pharrell Williams, one of the show's music producers, played the drums alongside percussionist Sheila E. And Octavia Spencer received the evening's first standing ovation when she won the supporting actress Oscar for her role as a downtrodden maid in "The Help."
The evening had its share of other uncomfortable moments and instances of what appeared to be cultural insensitivity, courtesy of Crystal and Natalie Portman.
But the most anticipated nod to African Americans — a lead actress win for "The Helps" Viola Davis — never came. Despite having won several awards coming in to the ceremony, including the Screen Actors Guild award, Davis lost the Oscar to academy favorite Meryl Streep.
The host came under fire almost immediately in the Twitterverse soon after Spencer won her Oscar when Crystal talked about how much he loved "The Help" and came out of the theater wanting to hug the first black woman he saw "which, from Beverly Hills, is about a 45-minute drive."
Also provoking negative reaction was Crystal's appearance
in blackface as Sammy Davis Jr. during the show's opening film montage, which tweaked several of the nominated films. Crystal as Davis Jr. — a bit he did often in his "Saturday Night Live" days — appeared with Justin Bieber during a parody of Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris."
Tweeted one viewer named Lisa: "So glad they got rid of the producer who used a homophobic slur so we could get Billy Crystal doing racial jokes and blackface."
The jokes played slightly better at the show itself. Of the Beverly Hills quip, one studio executive who did not wish to be identified, "It was kind of funny. He was almost sending up the academy for the diversity issue, tweaking them a little."
"Margin Call" screenwriter J.C. Chandor said, "I thought it was a good joke, but it missed. Plus, Beverly Hills is actually a diverse place in a weird way. It's rich people, but it's rich people from all over the world."
Late in the show, Portman's scripted introduction of the five lead actor nominees left some feeling her wording was potentially more insulting to minorities than complimentary to Demian Bichir, the Mexican star of "A Better Life." Saluting his portrayal of illegal immigrant Carlos Galindo, Portman said the actor "made us face a very true portrait of a human being no one had ever dared us to consider before."
Rock joked that while a fat woman can play a skinny princess, a wimpy guy can play a gladiator and a white guy can play an Arabian prince, "if you're a black man, you can play a donkey or a zebra. You can't play white."
Chris Rock may have unexpectedly best defined the continuing awkwardness of Hollywood and race when he made his presentation of the award for outstanding animated film by referring to his voice work in the "Madagascar" movies and Eddie Murphy's role in the "Shrek" films.
AWARDS
LOS ANGELES — Maybe the Justin
Bieber stunk work for Billy Crystal.
Billy and Beiber reach 39.3 million viewers
Sunday's Oscar telecast delivered a total of 39.3 million viewers, up 4 percent compared with last year, according to Nielsen. And it was flat in the demographic advertisers care about most, adults ages 18 to 49, with an 11.7 rating.
That may not sound world-beating, but it counts as a victory for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, which rolled the dice by bringing back the 63-year-old host Billy Crystal as host. The academy has been struggling for years with an exodus of young viewers from the annual awards telecast, which it counts on for crucial licensing income. Critics said that hiring a sexagenarian host didn't exactly help project an image of youthfulness. In a filmed
Those industry worries didn't seem to faze the audience, which tuned in to watch "The Artist" take the top prize as Best Picture. ABC estimated that 76 million viewers watched at least six minutes of the broadcast.
In an interesting sidelight, ABC also said that its Oscar app was downloaded 370,000 times this year — an 1,154 percent leap compared with last year.
port that opened the show, Crystal alluded to the dilemma by greeting teen idol Bieber, who said he was there to help capture "the 18 to 24 demographic."

Dr. Suess book causes controversy on screen
From the day it was published, Dr. Seuss' environmental parable The Lorax has courted controversy. A screed about consumerism, greed and its cost to the environment, this anti-clear-cutting tale prompted protests in lumber-country school districts and just last week inspired an attention-starved Fox Business News anchor to attack its "indoctrination."
A goldfish trio sings and chirps a funny accompaniment, just like the mice in "Babe."
The film is a feast of bright, Seuss colors and wonderful Seuss design all curvy, undulating lines and shapes. The 3-D kicks in as Ted dodges axe heads and the Once-ler is sent hurtling down river rapids.
1
The gorgeous and glorious new film of this fable from Universal's "Despicable Me" team turns a somewhat gloomy, cautionary tale into a 3-D musical, with catchtunes and gags borrowed from every film from "Toy Story" to "Babe."
And the songs are a stitch Helms warbling "Everybody needs a thneed," advertising his new scarf-like product made from the Truffula trees.
"lorax" takes on echoes of "Wall-E" as it embraces its gloom. The Once-ler's replacement entrepreneur/villain is a fellow who has figured out how to bottle and sell clean air. But it's all a set-up for the redemption song, the gospel-tinged "Let it Grow."
That's when it becomes obvious why the Seuss rhymes here are subdued, saved up for big moments when they'll have the most impact. That's when the warning of the Lorax "Unless" threatens the Lou Dobbses of this world with extinction.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

trafficking at the international and national levels is severe, the issue of domestic trafficking is of special concern in Kansas. According to the Wichita Eagle, Shared
Hope International, a nonprofit organization that reported on the strength of state child sex trafficking laws in the U.S., gave Kansas a failing grade in December.
In the last four years, there have been more than three times as many sex trafficking cases in Wichita. Research also shows
that Kansas City and Wichita are seen as major destinations on the trafficking trail between Mexico and Canada, said Laura Dean, a graduate student from Lawrence.
Dean, a Lawrence graduate student who organized Gov. Brownback's appearance at the University and studies human trafficking, sees the University as the perfect place for a center on human trafficking. The Institute for Policy and Social Research (IPSR) in Kansas provided Dean with a graduate research assistantship on human trafficking last year. Dean said the IPSR would also provide the institutional interdisciplinary support and grant writing ability necessary in the foundation and endurance of the center.
A center on campus could potentially work toward more "investigative tools," which Dean noted are necessary to address human trafficking within the state. Dean also discussed the benefits a University center would have for the rehabilitation of victims.
In addition, the University as an institution provides the idyllic image for a center working against human trafficking. Fittingly, a center would be "continuing our abolitionist history at the one university in the state that embodies the Jayhawk symbol," Dean said.
Given the dire situation of human trafficking in Kansas and the need for a government-led effort against this abuse of rights, it is imperative that the state provide funding and support for the creation of such a center at the University. With the assistance of state funds, the University could be a significant resource for fighting human trafficking domestically and internationally in the near future.
Student Body President Libby Johnson supports the idea of creating a center at the University, and discussions between Johnson, Dean, and the IPSR staff may move this idea forward.
Of course, the creation of such a center would require significant funds. As this issue needs to be addressed by the state,Brownback should back up his verbal support for the project with a funding commitment.

Using words and understanding what they mean
Some people and groups brand themselves with a certain term without fully understanding it
B because I'm an old-fashioned 20-something-year-old, I believe that if you want to promote meaningful dialogue, use words accurately. There's no shame in having an opinion; it's more common than most people realize.
I've never minded an atheist or agnostic, just as I've never minded a Christian or a caveman. What annoys me, whether in an atheist, agnostic, Christian, or caveman, is a lexically confused one.
Now I admit that I bungle certain words and phrases. I sometimes say "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater when I mean to say "Enough previews!' Roll 'Breaking Dawn Part I!" All too often, I confuse Jack Kevorkian and Jack Kerouac. However, these incidents are honest mistakes.
their lexicon. They may not be aware that "soma" was the name of the on-the-shelf anesthetic from the dystopian novel "Brave New World." Further, they don't seem to know the meaning of the phrase "open-minded."
I feel that the people in charge of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA) have similar malfunctions with
Again, I am positive this is an honest mistake. As a long-time logophile (still legal in 27 states), I know the definitions of "open-minded" range from "receptive to the opinions of others" to "the state of having one's brains on the floor."
By Daniel Obermeier
dobermeier@kansan.com
If they mean, as is the common parlance of our post-meaningful age, that it is a society of unprejudiced atheists and agnostics, then my mind can only respond with the ancient robot saying, "does not compute."
You see, the trouble is this: When a group expresses an opinion on anything, especially a dogmatic opinion (everything from the potability of cheese to
the existence of God), and has an ad hoc agenda, then it loses its right to brand itself accurately as "open-minded." It's a classic example of having your cake and denying its existence.
"Of course," you will say, "an atheist may not possess an openmind, in the conventional sense of the term, but surely agnostics can make that claim." In a purely abstract sense, they could. In fact, I know many who do. However, that does not exactly jive with the actions of a group which publicly ridicules those who believe in any Divinity.
As an anecdotal example of this, one day I was apathetically strolling home from school and was solicited by people willing to get "stoned" (in the literal sense) in exchange for a dollar. At first, I thought this was a new circus act or Japanese game show. Upon examining their signs citing religious justification for their less-than-rational behavior, it dawned on me that this was a religion for the irreligious, and I ignored them like a I do a Nicolas Cage movie.
This experience taught me that if you were an agnostic with this group, you were an atheist by association. As my high school Spanish teacher, Inigo Montoya, would have undoubtedly said, "You keep using 'open-minded.' I do not think it means what you think it means."
SOMA sponsors a real circus under the, again mis-titled,
"Reasonfest." The premise of this get together seems to be a bunch
of speakers talking about how unreasonable it is to believe in the supernatural, vast entirety of human experience and recorded empirical evidence aside. There are indeed many reasonable atheists and agnostics, but, without dresseding, I've always been more satisfied by the philosophy of their religious and reasonable counterparts.
You lose your credential of open-mindedness when you treat your opponent with the antipathy and contempt of the common cat. If you must use contempt, don't squander it in a sub-Hitchens jibe. Just be honest on every level about what your stance and goals are. Maintain your opinions, by all means, just don't hurt our lexicon any further.

In his final matchup with the elusive Keiton Page, Taylor shined. He scored 27 points and continued to match Page's three-point assault. When the Jayhawks are desperate for points, Taylor is still their guy. Now, as a leader of the Jayhawks, Taylor has his own Big 12 title.

MEN'S BASKET
Tyshawn Taylor at the top of his game
KORY CARPENTER
STILLWATER, Okla.— If Thomas Robinson had all the hype coming into this season, Tyshawn Taylor raised all of the questions, or at least most of them.
kcarpenter@kansan.com
He had a game-high 11 turnovers in the loss to Duke in the Maui Invitational. Against Ohio State on Dec. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse, he gave the ball away seven times.
Since conference play began, however, something changed.
Most of those questions stemmed from Taylor's carelessness when the ball was in his hands.
"I started shooting more and stopped passing," Taylor chuckled.
The beginning of this season wasn't much different.
after Kansas' 70-58 victory over Oklahoma State Monday night. "That's serious, though. I feel like early in the season I was a little bit indecisive in my game, not really knowing what to do. And once I started to score the ball pretty well and people started to guard me different, it opened a lot of things up for me."
Taylor had 20 points or more on just two occasions in nonconference play. He's reached the 20-point plateau eight times in Big 12 games including his 27-point performance Monday night against the Cowboys.
Offense wasn't his only responsibility in Stillwater — even though the Jayhawks needed his scoring desperately, with only two players scoring more than six points —
Taylor was also given the task of guarding Oklahoma State senior guard Keiton Page, on Page's senior night no less.
Page finished with 29 points and coach Bill Self was not pleased with Taylor's defense at times. Self said he and Taylor argued about the defensive assignment in a team huddle.
"Tyshawn Taylor kept making big shots," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said.
"I kept telling our guys. "The time's good, the score is right, we just need to just go on a run here at some point." And he would just always make a big shot."
"I told Elijah, 'He can't guard him; You take him,' and he got kind of upset at that and he did a better job later," Self said. "Fortunately for us, he was able to match him basically basket for basket down the stretch when we had to make a couple of plays."
Page narrowly won the individual matchup, but Taylor's timely scores, which included four three-pointers, were enough to keep the
Cowboys at a comfortable distance throughout the game.
Kansas clinched the outright Big 12 regular season title and Taylor is playing as well as he's ever played in a Kansas uniform. He credited his teammates and Self for trusting him as well as a good amount of maturation.
"I've been a starter for four years so I feel like I've been in a lot of these situations before."

WOODREICH
After recording eight assists against Texas Tech in Kansas' first win in Lubbock since 1978, Goodrich broke a 24-year-old single-season record for assists.
Other times, she stabilizes herself on her hands and knees trying to regain her breath after being bowled over by a behemoth of a post player.
At times for Goodrich, charges seem as brutal as a head-on car collision. Sometimes she lies on the ground staring up at the top of the arena.
GOODRICH FROM PAGE 12
"That's like a big momentum change when that happens." Goodrich said. "It just really gets people hyped and I want to be able to get my teammates hyped."
THE FINALIST
Goodrich is a finalist for many reasons, but most of all because of her determination on the court.
She has proven herself as the unequivocal leader for the layhawks as they continue to work toward the team's first NCAA appearance since 2000.
What makes Goodrich a respected floor general is her willingness to take the time to teach her teammates. A quality not every athlete shares.
"She's a very caring person. She's very quiet, but not near to where she doesn't care about what's going on," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
"The most important thing is to give someone your time, and I think she's willing to do that."
Goodrich was recently named a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, an honor given out to the nation's top female point guard. She's also second in the NCAA with 212 assists.
A (FRIENDLY) SIBLING RIVALRY
Goodrich grew up in Stilwell, Okla., a tiny town near the Arkansas border.
The middle child of Fayth and Jonathan Lewis, Angel showed her competitive nature at an early age.
The children were raised at Faytin's father's house, playing on a gravel and dirt court. No asphalt to be found. The backboard and rim were pinned on a nearby tree.
When bad weather arose, Goodrich and her older brother Zach played basketball in the hallway of their home.
The hallway wasn't much wider than four or five feet. Zach and Angel imagined they were Reggie Miller or Michael Jordan, and the games would get fairly heated.
"They'd be real competitive. Some games we wouldn't finish because we'd start fighting, but it was out of love and being real competitive," Zach said.
THE TAHLEQUAH TREASURE
Sequoyah High School girls basketball coach Bill Nobles knew right from the moment Goodrich stepped into his gym that he had a special player.
In her first three years, Goodrich helped lead the Indians to three consecutive Oklahoma 3A state titles.
By the time her senior season came around, Goodrich and her team drew crowds of thousands into their home gym. In fact, people were turned away routinely if they did not arrive early.
The apex of the season came on March 8, 2008, when top-ranked Sequoyah faced off against second-ranked Millwood in front of 11,000 people at the Oklahoma State Fair Arena.
"That whole group, including Angel, was a pretty inspiring group to a lot of kids around here and a lot people," Nobles said.
That year, Goodrich averaged 14.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 5.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Despite the loss, the accolades rolled in for Goodrich. She grabbed a Top 50 recruiting spot on several websites, First Team All-State selection and a Fourth Team All-America by Parade Magazine.
The Indians came up just short of a historic run and lost 63-60.
Goodrich played in one more big game before becoming a Jayhawk. She competed in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-American game in Tampa Bay, Fla.
Goodrich scored seven points in the showcase, but what stood out about her performance was something unheard of in a glorified scrimmage.
7
Goodrich arrived in Lawrence in fall 2008 with the intention of beginning the turnaround of Kansas women's basketball. She saw it as challenge to turn the Jayhawks into a consistent postseason contender.
She took a charge
Then, in her second practice, Goodrich suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee. She spent the rest of the year rehabbing and returned to Kansas' lineup the following season.
Going through the mental and physical toll of a knee injury can be brutal for an athlete. There were murmurs that she may never play again.
THE KNEE INJURIES
Even though it wasn't an easy road, Goodrich pushed forward.
After playing 15 games in the 2009-10 season as the Jayhawks' starting point guard, she tore her ACL in her right knee during a game on Jan. 12, 2010.
"The one thing I feel like I learned the most was just learning to lean on others that are willing to be there for you." Goodrich said. "When I go through something I always get into myself and I want to fix it. I want to be in control of what's going on."
After the knee injuries, she battled a short period of seclusion, but eventually opened up.
"It isn't about records for her. She doesn't get caught up in numbers."
"At the beginning of it I did isolate myself a little bit, and it just didn't feel right," Goodrich said. "I wasn't myself, and when I opened up all the support I had from my family to my teammates, and my coaches, it made it a lot easier and stronger as well."
"I wouldn't be here without him. Like I said with my knees, people thought I'd give up, but I feel he was always there for me, and he is always there," Goodrich said.
Goodrich relied on her faith in God to help her through the trying times.
Before every game, Goodrich takes a moment to thank God. While the national anthem plays, Goodrich closes her eyes, lowers her head and says a prayer.
Goodrich also improved her vocal leadership. A natural introvert, she continues to learn to express herself more on the court.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALL-AMERICAN CANDIDATE
Out of all her attributes, Goodrich takes the most pride in her defense. At 5-foot-4, she's usually matched with a taller opponent, but that's never bothered her.
BONNIE HENRICKSON head coach
And not to be forgotten is Goodrich's ability to find the open player. Currently she is second in the NCAA with 7.6 assists per game.
In her sophomore season Goodrich put together impressive numbers. She started all 27 games, averaged 7.5 points per game and ranked sixth in the NCAA with 6.3 assists per contest.
"I wasn't a scoring threat at all last year," Goodrich said. "It made me feel disrespected. So I need to do something to make this different."
However, one part of Goodrich's game was missing; the ability to knock down the outside shot.
This summer she spent hours in the gym developing her three-point stroke. Now she ranks as the sixth best three-point shooter in the Big 12 this season, making more than 36 percent of her attempts.
"Defense is one aspect of the game I've been trying to grow. That is one where, I don't want to get scored on," Goodrich said.
"It's not like something. I practice," Goodrich said of her passing ability. "It just who you're playing with and if you're ready to catch it or not. It's just knowing your personnel
"Just in every little thing we do, we look up to her and make sure we're doing right," Knight said. "If we have any questions, Angel's always the first person we go to. She's a good role model."
on the team."
Freshman guard Natalie Knight shares some of the duties at the point and has learned a lot from Goodrich this year.

"I haven't seen a better point guard than Goodrich at out level. She is lightning quick and sees the floor great. When she catches the outlet, she only needs two dribbles and she is at half-court and she is on you. By that time, you are in retreat mode the entire time.

"Angel Goodrich is the real deal. We recruited her out of high school and she is a very good player. (She had) four points, but totally dominated the game.

The team had been traveling a lot and Henrickson wanted to make sure Goodrich wasn't behind in her academics and that she wasn't holding Angel back from her classroom responsibilities.
"It was such a big deal to them because I'm representing the tribes," Goodrich said. "Little kids are always coming up to me and saying how they're inspired. It just makes me feel honored."
Coach Bonnie Henrickson stopped Goodrich after practice last week to see if she had time to talk about some plays they'd seen at practice.

Since elementary school, Goodrich's parents made sure she applied herself on the academic side no matter what the circumstances.
"When we were recruiting her we knew how much of a role model she was, and how many young people looked up to her," Henrickson said.
Goodrich still talks to dozens of Native Americans after games at Allen Fieldhouse, who tell her how much of an inspiration she is to them.
Growing up in the Goodrich house, there was only one way to earn play time: keeping up with your studies.
"I said, 'OK, you're not going to play if you make anything under a B.'" Fayt Goodrich said. "After
Understanding that responsibility continues to be a major aspect of Goodrich's persona. She wants to use the platform to make an impact on the next generation of American Indians.
Goodrich's main concern is making sure the Jayhawks secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The records are great, but she wants an impact that goes beyond the numbers.
That work ethic stuck with Goodrich to this day.
that they made sure their grades were up because they love the game and they didn't want to sit out for anything."
"I want to still change this program around, just set the bar for the next people coming in," Goodrich said.
"I've always had that in my head.
I don't want to get a C." Angel said.
"C is average and I want to be above average. It was stamped and printed and installed into me and my brother, but I'm glad she did that."
"She didn't come here to do that. She wanted to be a difference-maker and take this team to the next level and that what's she works on everyday to try to do."
"It isn't about records for her," Henrickson said. "She doesn't get caught up in numbers. The only numbers she gets caught up with is when she turns the ball over.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Angel Goodrich does not care about records or stats.
Goodrich hopes to pursue a career in basketball whether it's state side or across the pond after she graduates next season.
Henrickson said the sky is the limit for Goodrich, but she still has to grow her offensive game and prepare to be the floor general with people who might be 10 years older than herself.
Until then, Goodrich wants to enjoy the game and keep wowing people with her moves on the court and her kind spirit off of it.

Georgetown's Greg Whittington goes for the dunk during the first half of an NCAA basketball game against Notre Dame on Monday, Feb. 27, in Washington. No. 11 Georgetown beat No. 20 Notre Dame 59-41.
Clark finished with 13 points and six rebounds, while Sims had 12 points and five assists. While they have led the way all season for Georgetown (22-6, 12-5) on a roster with 10 freshmen and sophomores, there was plenty of help from the youngsters, as usual.
The Irish shot only 33 percent from the field overall, and no one scored more than the nine points from Eric Atkins and Scott Martin.
WASHINGTON — Playing at home for the last time, Jason Clark and Henry Sims combined for 25 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on "Senior Day," helping No. 11 Georgetown beat No. 20 Notre Dame 59-41 on Monday night in a key game for Big East tournament seeding.
Georgetown led by 10 points at halftime and kept pulling away. Wittington's 3 with about $8\frac{1}{2}$ minutes left capped a 9-0 run that made it 48-29 and pretty much sealed the victory.
Notre Dame (20-10, 12-5) lost its second straight following a school-record, nine-game Big East winning streak. It made 3 of 17 3-point attempts, after going 4 for 31 in a loss at St. John's on Saturday.
Clark and Sims left to a standing ovation with 1:43 remaining and Georgetown leading 59-36.
Greg Whittington contributed 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting, including 3 of 3 on 3-pointers, and another freshman, Otto Porter, had 10 rebounds.
Both the Hoyas and Fighting Irish are in the running for a top-four seeding and a double-bye into the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. Georgetown finishes its pre-
tournament schedule by playing at No. 8 Marquette on Saturday, while Notre Dame closes at home against Providence on Friday.
After the traditional pregame ceremony to honor Georgetown's departing players, Clark and Sims led the way, helping the Hoyas snap a three-game losing streak to the Irish.
After a decent start, both teams had plenty of trouble at the offensive end during the first half, a result not so much of tremendous defense but rather lackluster offense. Air balls, dropped passes and sloppy dribbling all led to wasted possessions.
Georgetown and Notre Dame combined to make 8 of their first 12 shots — a 67 percent clip. And then they went and made 3 of their next 16 shots — only 19 percent.
But a 7-0 stretch capped by Sims' layup made it 18-11 for the hosts. And that basket began a personal run for Sims in which he scored or assisted on 10 straight Hoyas points.
He made two free throws, passed to Clark on a backdoor cut for a layup, executed a perfect give-and-go to assist on Wittington's dunk, and sank a turnaround jumper to put Georgetown up 26-18.
When Clark drove for a basket as the shot clock expired, the lead was 28-18 with $ \frac{1}{2} $ minutes left in the first half, and that's where it remained until the start of the second.
Notre Dame was 1 for 6 on 3s in the half, and leading scorer Jerian Grant was 1 for 8 from the field. Those numbers continued trends from the team's loss Saturday, when Grant managed to collect only two points while shooting 1 for 9. He wound up 2 for 12 with eight points Monday.
Georgetown can, of course, play defense rather well. In its previous outing, at home on Saturday, Georgetown held Villanova to 28 percent shooting and won by 21 points.
For the second consecutive game, Porter was in Georgetown's starting lineup — and sophomore guard Markel Starks was not, apparently having found his way into the doghouse of
coach John Thompson III. On Saturday, Starks didn't play at all, even though Thompson said the player was healthy. On Monday, Starks entered about 5 minutes into the game.
NBA
Bryant breaks Jordan's career-points record during game
ORLANDO, Fla. — Kobe Bryant got the scoring record, Kevin Durant the MVP, and the West got the win — barely.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even after that two piled up the points, the NBA All-Star game came down to a defensive play.
A bloodied Bryant scored 27 points, moving past Michael Jordan as the career scoring leader in the game. Durant had 36 in an MVP performance, and Blake Griffin's interception of LeBron James' pass secured the Western Conference's 152-149 win over the East on Sunday night.
"You know, you have some of the best competitors out on the floor at the same time," James said. "Not only me and Kobe, but D-Wade and Durant and (Carmelo Anthony) and (Chris Paul), and all the rest of the guys. We all wanted to win, and it came down to the last minute or last seconds."
James and the East cut a 21-point deficit to one in the closing seconds, but weren't able to move in front. James had 36 points and fellow Heat star Wade finished with a triple-double.
Bryant shook off Dwyane Wade's hard smack to his nose and was still on the floor to say something to James after he threw away a pass in the closing records.
Griffin scored 22 points for the West, which rang up 88 points in the first half, setting an All-Star record. But he won the game with his defense, picking off James' pass when the East had a chance to tie in the final seconds.
"It was fun," Durant said. "That's the type of All-Star game you want to see."
"When I tried to throw it late, that's what usually happens and it results in a turnover," James said. "Definitely wish I could have that one back."
Griffin then hit one free throw with 1.1 seconds left, and Wade

LEBRON JAMES Eastern Conference team
On a colorful night in Orlando, from pregame performer Nicki Minaj's pink and green hair to the neon sneakers many of the stars wore, Dwight Howard had nine points and 10 rebounds as the game's host.
"You know, you have some of the best competitors out on the floor at the same time."
Orlando in 20 years wasn't close after $2 \frac{1}{2}$ quarters. But players always say it gets competitive in the final five minutes, and James was again up for the challenge.
He hiked his scoring average to 25.9 points over his eight All-Star games, and someday he'll probably take the record Bryant set Sunday.
But he couldn't quite catch Kobe in the game.
"Being a competitor, no matter All-Star game or not, you don't want to get blown out," James said. "Of course not, when you're going against your peers and you're

With the 2-year-old Amway Center considered by many the finest arena in the league, the NBA brought its midseason showcase back to Orlando for the first time since the memorable 1992 game, when Magic Johnson was MVP three months after retiring from the league because of the HIV virus.
This one was once in jeopardy of being lost when the lockout lasted into late November. Without a settlement then, AllStar weekend may have been wiped out, as it was in 1999 following a work stoppage.

loves the city even if not his team, and urged everyone to ignore the trade talk for a weekend and have fun.
"We did it big for our city," he said in brief pregame remarks to the crowd before the game.
Then Andrew Bynum blocked his first shot attempt.
Howard and Derrick Rose ditched their orange sneakers in the second half — James kept his—and the East quickly got back into it, trimming 12 points off its deficit in less than 6 minutes. They even started to defend—Wade whacked Bryant so hard on a drive that the Lakers star needed a break between free throws to wipe blood from his nose before sinking it to tie Jordan.
The speedy Russell Westbrook had the East looking as if it was standing still late in the first half, and it was 88-69 at the break.
Williams scored 20 points for the East. Carmelo Anthony had 19. and Rose finished with 14.
Kevin Love, who won the 3-point contest on Saturday, scored 17 points for the West, which has won two in a row. Chris Paul had eight points and 12 assists.

Former Jayhawk shows skills to NFL
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Former Kansas linebacker Steven Johnson received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine after he led the Jayhawks with 124 tackles. Johnson, a former walk-on, is projected to be a late round selection or a free-agent signee. On Monday, he got his chance to show the scouts what he could do.
40-YARD DASH
The 40-yard dash is used to measure straight-line speed. It is the most hyped up test of the NFL Combine.
Johnson's time: 4.78 seconds
Linebacker Combine average: 4.75 seconds

3-CONE DRILL
BENCH PRESS
The bench press tests upper body strength and endurance. Players bench 225 pounds for as many reps as possible.

Johnson's reps: 16
Linebacker Combine average: 23.1
Top performer: Ronnell Lewis, Oklahoma, 36
VERTICAL JUMP
The vertical jump tests a player's lower body strength and explosiveness. The players start in a standing position and try to jump as high as possible without stepping.
Johnson's jump: 36 inches
Linebacker Combine average: 34.27 inches
Top Performer: Mychal Kendricks, California, 39.5 inches

Johnson's time: 7.32 seconds
Combine average: 7.13 seconds
Top Performer: Nathan Stupar, Penn State, 6.84 seconds
SHUTTLE RUN
Players can run both 20- and 60-yard distances for the shuttle run, but many players choose not to run both events. The short distance tests a players ability to quickly switch directions and accelerate. In the 20-yard shuttle, players run five yards in one direction, turn, run 10 yards the opposite way, turn and run five yards back to the starting line.

Analysis: Johnson's performance might not have been as good as he may have hoped, especially in the bench press, but his interviews with coaches and general managers over the weekend are more important than the drills. Johnson is a guy with a lot of character and a tireless worker. If he wowed a team with his attitude and has a good pro day at Kansas on March 14, he may convince a team to take a chance and draft him with a late round selection.

Jonas Hiller made 18 saves in his 21st consecutive start for the Ducks, who won for the ninth time in 12 games during their improbable playoff push. Andrew Cogliano scored his first goal of February for the Ducks, and Sheldon Brookbank also scored as Anaheim avoided a four-game season sweep by Chicago.
Patrick Kane ended the Blackhawks' monthlong 0-for-39 power-play drought with a first-period goal, and Ray Emery stopped 35 shots against his former Anaheim teammates in Chicago's third consecutive loss.
Chicago Blackhawks left wing Andrew Brunette (15) and Anaheim Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa (5), of Italy, vie for the puck in the first period of an NHL hockey game in Anaheim, Calif., Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012.
The Blackhawks have lost 12 of 16 overall, yet still sit comfortably in sixth place in the Western Conference standings.
The Blackhawks played their fourth straight game without captain Jonathan Toews, who is home in Chicago with an apparent concussion. Coach Joel Quenneville hopes Toews and defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson will return Wednesday against Toronto, but the Blackhawks struggled through a two-game Southern California road trip, losing 4-0 up the 1-5 freeway in Los Angeles one night earlier.
Anaheim got just two days off
Selanne is the second-oldest player in NHL history to score at least 21 goals in a season, trailing only Gordie Howe, who did it twice after his 41st birthday.
Selanne inched up the NHL scoring list by setting up Brookbank's goal in the second period before scoring his 21st of the season from a sharp angle during a two-man advantage in the third. The 41-year-old Finnish Flash caught and passed Luc Robitaile with 1,395 points, and his 246th career power-play goal put him one behind Robitaile for fourth in league history.
following the longest continuous road trip in franchise history before starting a key stretch of five games in seven days. The Ducks have been among the NHL's top teams since Jan. 1, going 17-4-4 — but it still might not be enough to save their season.
After falling 20 points out of eighth place in the West during their awful start, the Ducks are just six points out of playoff position — but still in 13th place in the West.
Chicago hadn't scored a power-play goal since Jan. 24, but Kane slipped a long shot through traffic and just inside Hiller's post midway through the first period. The goal appeared to awaken the Ducks, and Cogliano scored with 20 seconds left in the period when he got the puck alone in front of Emery.
off the goal because Cogliano clearly kicked the puck toward the net with his right skate, but a lengthy video review at the league offices in Toronto revealed Cogliano poked the puck through Emery's legs with his stick after Emery stopped the kick with his pads.
The referees immediately waved
Emery backstopped the Ducks to a playoff berth last season, filling in for Hiller after the All-Star break when the Swiss goalie went down with an apparent case of vertigo.
Anaheim thoroughly controlled the second period, but wasn't rewarded until Selanne passed from behind the Chicago net to Brookbank, who fired it off Duncan Keith and past Emery. The goal was Brookbank's second in five games after playing the 167 straight games without a goal.

Baylor still undefeated after Texas A&M victory
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Brittney Griner and Odyssey Sims scored 25 points each and top-ranked Baylor used a late run to hold off No. 17 Texas A&M for a 69-26 win on Monday night.
Baylor (30-0, 17-0 Big 12) led by one
point before going on a 6-0 run that was aided unintentionally by an official. Grimer made a jump shot before Kimetria Hayden knocked the ball out of Alexia Standish's hands. With the ball almost sure to go out of bounds, it bounced off an official and remained on the court, setting up a layup by Sims before Hayden added a basket to make it 67-60
with 1:39 remaining.
The Lady Bears have matched the 2009-2010 Nebraska team for the best start in conference history and have their second straight 30-win season.
Tyra White's 14 points led A&M (20-8, 11-6).

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. When was the last time a Kansas-
Missouri game was decided by one
point?
A: March 5, 2000 when Kansas beat Missouri 83-82 in Lawrence.
— Kansas Athletics
THE MORNING BREW Border Showdown exceeded the hype
When Kirk Gibson smashed a home run to right field off Dennis Eckersley in Game
One of the 1988 World Series, jack Buc, Hall of Fame broadcaster, said, "I don't believe what I just saw."
On Saturday, Feb 25, 2012, I couldn't believe what I just saw. I was at a loss for words and was left speechless.
I was one of the lucky 16,300 people to attend the last Border War game between Missouri and Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday. It's not often that games meet the level of hype that people bestow on them, but this game didn't just meet the hype. It exceeded it. I have attended plenty of sports games throughout my life and witnessed some great plays in person, most notably Brett Favre's miraculous game-winning touchdown pass to Greg Lewis in 2009, but the Missouri-Kansas game Saturday was the best game that I have ever attended. Thomas Robinson's block at the end of regulation was the best play that I have witnessed in-person. Whether or not Robinson should have been called on a foul is irrelevant now. It was a spectacular play that was the defining moment in the Jayhawks' victory over the Tigers.
The fans inside the Fieldhouse had an

unlimited amount of adrenaline that kept amplifying after every good Kansas play.
The decibel meter reached 120.2 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound of a jet engine. I had never heard anything louder in my life.
It was blissfully loud.
It didn't matter to me that the joy of victory came at the expense of losing my hearing and voice temporarily, having an aggravating headache and empty stomach and being mentally and physically exhausted. The only thing that mattered was the game and the end result.
For most of the game when Missouri was ahead of Kansas by double figures, I agonized and dreaded for the worst. I held my breath for the entire game.
During timeouts, I kept putting my hands over my face because I feared
the Tigers would not only beat the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse, but beat them embarrassingly.
My level of optimism dwindled every time Kansas failed to score points and Missouri continued to increase the deficit. The Tigers led by as much as 19 points with around 16 minutes left in the game.
But then the ghosts of Allen Fieldhouse's past woke up. The atmosphere, energy and level of intensity never died. It only increased.
The Jayhawks went on a 36-17 run to end the game in regulation and force overtime. Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor willed their team valiantly, understanding that they could not allow the Tigers to end the Border War celebrating on their home court and sweeping the season series.
The Tigers' motion to beat the Jayhawks on a buzzer-beeper was denied by Robinson, whose block on Phil Pressey was arguably the greatest shot block in Allen Fieldhouse and Border War history.
Once the game went into overtime, my confidence skyrocketed. The Jayhawks were riding high, even after Marcus Denmon made his shots.
KU
Robinson and Taylor made free throws in overtime to sustain my high level of confidence that was once in the toilet during the game.
I finally breathed easy and celebrated when Kim English caught Michael Dixon. Jr's pass as the red light flashed behind the basket. Final score: Missouri 86, Kansas 87. I raised my arms in triumph, screamed at the top of my lungs and celebrated with my friends and strangers with hugs and high fives. The game had it all: two teams ranked in the top 5 that hate each other and were essentially playing for the conference championship, an atmosphere unparalleled to any, a 19-point comeback, an admirable game played by both teams and the conclusion to one of sports' most heated rivalries.
Right there and then, I knew that this was the greatest game I had ever attended.

COMMENTARY
When Robinson and Taylor both sat down, they deserved to finally smile. Through the criticisms and shaky start, this group of inexperienced players came together and became a team — the best team in the Big 12 conference.
MEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND
Excellent team at the home for Leonard.
The men's basketball team is returning to action after a successful season. Leonard, wearing jersey number 10, has been an integral part of the team since he was born in 2003. With a strong focus on teamwork and individual skill, Leonard has achieved numerous accolades throughout his career. He has won multiple championships, including two NCAA Division I titles and three NCAA Division II titles. His performance has also earned him recognition as a top player by sports journalists worldwide.
Leonard's dedication and passion for basketball have made him a standout player. As a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, he has played a key role in the team's success. His leadership skills and ability to motivate players are highly sought after by coaches and teammates alike.
Despite facing challenges such as injuries and pressure from other teams, Leonard remains committed to the game. His dedication and perseverance have paid off in many ways, including his role in helping the Clippers win the championship. Leonard is a true leader and a source of inspiration for all fans.
He will be missed by his teammates and fans alike. A celebration of his achievements will be held on November 5th at the Clippers' home court. The team will be joined by his family and friends to celebrate his birthday. The celebration will feature a special tribute featuring photos of Leonard and his beloved family.
And their smiles showed it.
Proving criticism wrong
While Kansas was picked to win the conference before the season started, the players still felt and heard the doubting hush around Lawrence, and rightfully so.
Just 48 hours after that emotional overtime victory over Missouri Kansas beat Oklahoma State 70-58, and clinched an outright 2012 Big 12 championship.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
"We were too tired to do anything on Saturday," Bill Self said. "We didn't celebrate much, but we celebrated some in the locker room just now."
STILLWATER OKLA. When Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson walked into the post game press conference, their smiles could not escape their faces. The reason both players' smiles shined a bit brighter than normal sat just below the grins themselves.
Boasting shirts that read, "Big 12 conference 8STR8 Champs," Taylor, Robinson and the entire Kansas team finally got to celebrate cementing their place in Kansas history.
The students weren't the only ones whose voices were still hoarse Monday. Tyshawn Taylor's scratchy voice could not be ignored after the game, and the reason he gave for his vocal chords' struggles was a just one
"Celebration, baby," Taylor said. "Celebration, that's it."
8 STR8
This team deserved to rejoice in its victory. Many doubted them from the start, and until these past two games, that doubt hung over Allen Fieldhouse.
But now that's all erased, and this unlikely team of Big 12 champions will be one that people should and will remember.
But what needs to be remembered as much as the players and the games, is what Bill Self magically pulled off once again.
Through the bruises and bumps of this season, he took an inconsistent Tyshawn Taylor and made him the leader of a team that is 25-5 this season. He took Thomas Robinson from an averaged 7.6 points points per game in 2011, to the possible Player of the Year Award winner.
They'll remember the three freshmen that never played. They'll remember the showdown with Duke and turnover Taylor. They'll remember Taylor's incredible run in Big 12 play. They'll remember the Missouri game - for a long, long time. And most of all, they'll remember Thomas Robinson.
And when Taylor sat down after the Jayhawks had just made sure that they wouldn't be sharing their Big 12 trophy with anyone else, it's clear he felt a lift off his shoulders.
"It feels amazing, because a lot of people didn't think wed be this good this year," Taylor said. "Our goal was always to win the Big 12 championship."
And he somehow won with a team whose bench consisted of one former walk-on and one current walk-on — Conner Teahan and Justin Wesley and a transfer, Kevin Young.
BIG 12 CHAMPIONS
Taylor scored 27 points to lead the Jayhawks to eighth conference title
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
STILWATER, Okla.—Two days after Missouri, one Big 12 season later, the Jayhawks have done it yet again. And now it's outright and unquestionable.
"We got eight, baby," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "This one feels good, too."
After Monday night's 70-58 victory at Oklahoma State in Gallagher-Iba Arena, No. 3 Kansas (25-5, 15-2), claimed its eighth consecutive Big 12 title for good.
As Robinson spoke, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor took a hat off his head. He turned it around and read "8 STR8 champs," running his fingers along the seams and smiling.
Taylor had reason to smile. He had conquered the conference that pundits said was never supposed to belong to the Jayhawks. As the season progressed, he
As the season decreased his turnovers and started scoring more. On Monday, he dropped 27 points on the Cowboys.
"Every time we came down and made a big play. Tyshawn
He can shoot the rock." Taylor said. "If he gets any daylight, he's putting it up and usually it's good."
would come down and hit a big shot, Oklahoma State's senior guard Keiton Page said.
"I'm glad he's a senior" coach Bill Said, said.
"Every time we came down and made a big play. Tyshawn would come down a hit a big shot."
Yet as Page and freshman guard Brian Williams continued to score, the rest of the Cowboys combined for 9 points and a 17.6 field goal percentage. Oklahoma State forwards and centers didn't score a point.
On his senior day, Page scored 29 points and hit seven of his 14 three-point shots. At just five-foot-nine, which some call a generous listing, Page used deceptive dribbles and fakes to evade defenders. Taylor and Johnson often tightly guarded Page, but he still made shots.
The low-scoring affair suited the Jayhawks just fine after Saturday's overtime victory against Missouri, which Self called "the most emotional regular season game ever."
"We were gassed, but it wasn't a fast-paced game," Self said. "Fortunately for us, there weren't a lot of possessions."

Self said that with the quick turnaround, this game was one of the season's greatest challenges. The layhawks had just 15 minutes of stationary射击 on Sunday, and a brief amount of time to warm up on Monday. The game wasn't filled with energy, it was more a game to fight

style points be damned.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor hits a three-point shot during the second half of Monday night's win in Stillwater, Okla. The Jayhawks defeated the OSU Cowboys 70-58, sealing their eighth Big 12 title.
The Jayhawks did just that, and now they've got another conference title to show for it.
"You're supposed to win at home when you have a crowd like we have," Self said. "But for them to go 7-2 on the road, that's pretty special."

KANSAS
Goodrich sets an example for team
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Angel Goodrich knows what's coming.
Even though the opposing guard charges forward toward the hoop, she sees the impending drive a few steps back while everybody else scrambles around the court.
Goodrich slides her feet parallel to the player, bracing for the looming impact. The player's elbow jabs into Goodrich's chest.
Instead of panicking, she finds the spot to set up for the charge.
As Goodrich falls, her chin tucks tightly underneath her head as the rest of her body falls back onto the court.
Goodrich lands on the ground fully sprawled out on the wooden floor. She turns her head to see what direction the referee points.
The official motions in the other direction with his opposite hand behind his head signaling an offensive foul, just like many times before.
The Kansas bench jumps up and down in excitement.
Goodrich simply grins.
3
It has become her signature move. The ultimate sacrifice for the team, one that won't be found on the stat sheet next to points and assists.
Taking a charge is nothing new for Goodrich. The junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., has been doing it her entire basketball career.
MASTER OF THE CHARGE
In her early playing days, flopping, when a defensive player makes intentional contact with an offensive player to get a call for her team, was something Goodrich could get away with.
But at the college level, star players don't always get the same treatment as they do in secondary school. So, when she became a jayhawk, some changes to her signature play were needed.
"Ive been taking charges since high school, but high school, I'd be able to flop and everybody knew me for flopping," Goodrich said. "Then I got the point where I couldn't flop anymore. Now I have to let them hit me."

Former student dies after dispute at party
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Lawrence police are investigating the death of 27-year-old former KU student who died Saturday after an altercation at a house party.
The victim, Nicholas Sardina, was pronounced dead at the scene — a friend's house in the 1500 block of Tennessee Street — after he was unresponsive to resuscitation attempts.
According to a statement released by police, Sardina was injured early Saturday morning during a dispute in the 300 block of West 14th Street, which may have contributed to his death.
Police have identified several people involved in the altercation, but no arrests have been made.
Sardina was a sergeant in the
National Guard from Buffalo, N.Y. He served three tours of duty in Iraq from 2006 to 2007, which was a portion of his life he cherished and made him the man he was, his roommates said.
"He loved being a soldier," said Patrick LeSage, a junior from Leawood and one of his roommates. "I feel like he really used the values he learned there every day, because he was willing to anything for you."
Sardina attended the University last semester, but he was enrolled in an online master's program through Kansas State University this semester and planned to return to the University to pursue a career in homeland security.
Sardina and LeSage lived with two other roommates: Cooper Frederick, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla., and Kris Nelson, a
graduate student at the University of Kansas Medical Center from Kirksville, Mo.
None of Sardina's roommates were at the party with him, but they said he didn't usually get into trouble.
"He definitely said what he wanted, but he didn't get in fights either," Frederick said. "He had a really good sense of humor, so I think most things just rolled off"
Sardina's roommates plan to commemorate him with a plaque honoring his sense of humor, but are hoping an autopsy report provides further closure.
Funeral services are scheduled for Sardina in New York tomorrow and Friday. His three roommates will join his family in attendance.

Four cars were broken into on Feb. 22. Three of the break-ins occurred in Park and Ride lots 301 and 302 on West Campus, near Becker Drive. The other break-in occurred in lot 112 near Hogland Ballpark. All of the incidents were reported between 4 and 5 p.m.
"Because of the similar time frames and locations, it is possible they are related," said Chris Keary, assistant director of KU Public Safety. "If we have a suspect in one case, we will certainly compare to see if they are a suspect in other cases."
Ten cars have been broken into on campus since Jan. 1, according to KU Public Safety reports.
All four of the vehicles broken into on Feb. 22 had their windows broken out. Keary said no blood was found with the vehicles, so the thief probably used a tool to break in.

Gena Pollack, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., said her car has never been broken into, but she tries to be conscient-
tious of what she leaves in her car and where she parks.
"I always try to park in highly populated areas," she said. "I am really bad about leaving my purse in the car sometimes, just
because I don't keep anything valuable in there, but I try to put it under the seat or cover it up."
Keary said it's important for students to remember someone will usually only break into a car if there is something to gain.
"Most of the time, something has to be visible for them to break in," Keary said. "If you do have valuable belongings, put them in the trunk, glove box or at least cover them up."
KU Public Safety has no witnesses in the investigation, and anyone who has information is asked to call crime stoppers at (785) 843-TIPS.

New class motivates, distracts Rec-goers
KELSEY CIPOLLA

Loud music and a commanding voice fill the air. Above, positioned in perfect rows, 15 people pedal hard, but they're not moving. They are participating in a cycling class, a new offering at the Ambler Recreation Center.
In January, the decision was made to remove elliptical machines and rowing machines out of the circular room that overlooks the main entrance on the second floor. Fifteen new stationary bikes were moved in and the older equipment was redistributed throughout the Rec center.
"It would definitely be better it they had a room for it," said Devin Steininger, a freshman from Castle Rock, Colo. "It's like the first thing you see and hear when you walk in."
Since the class is held near the front door, the music and voice of the instructor can be heard in the lobby and parts of the first floor.
Steininger said that she didn't mind the noise, because she exercises with headphones in, but she was confused about what was going on. After she realized it was a cycling class, she said hearing the music and seeing people working out made her want to try the class.
Bikes are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, although Amber Long, coordinator of fitness and cycling instructor, said
the Rec center will be introducing an online bike reservation system in the coming weeks. A KU Fit Pass is required to take a class, but anybody can ride the bikes when a class is not in session.
Since the classes officially launched on Feb. 14, attendance has been strong, Long said.
Classes last 45 minutes to an hour and are offered several times a day. Variations include a shorter, express class; a strength-focused

Woman burns down 3.500-year-old tree
LONGWOOD, Fla. — Authorities say a central Florida woman is in jail, charged with setting a fire that burned one of the world's oldest cypress trees.
Investigators say two witnesses identified 26-year-old Sara Barnes as the person who caused the 118-foot-tall bald cypress tree named "The Senator" to burn and collapse Jan. 16.
The Seminole County parks department says ring samples showed
the tree was roughly 3,500 years old.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Barnes also took photos of the fire with her cellphone. The Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement searched Barnes' Winter Park home Tuesday and confiscated her cellphone and laptop. Authorities also reported finding methamphhetamine, scales and drug paraphernalia. Barnes told investigators she set the fire while trying to use illegal drugs.

lapanese power plant remains fragile
OKUMA, Japan — Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima power plant remains fragile nearly a year after it suffered multiple meltdowns, its chief said Tuesday, with makeshift equipment — some mended with tape — keeping crucial systems running.
An independent report, meanwhile, revealed that the government downplayed the full danger in the days after the March 11 disaster and secretly considered evacuating Tokyo.
Journalists given a tour of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant on Tuesday, including a reporter from The Associated Press, saw crumpled trucks and equipment still lying on the ground. A power pylon that collapsed in the tsunami, cutting electricity to the

plant's vital cooling system and setting off the crisis, remained a mangled mess.

Officials said the worst is over but the plant remains vulnerable.
"I have to admit that it's still rather fragile," said plant chief Takeshi Takahashi, who took the job in December after his predecessor resigned due to health reasons. "Even though the plant has achieved what we call 'cold shutdown conditions,' it still causes problems that must be improved."
The government announced in December that three melted reactors at the plant had basically stabilized and that radiation releases had dropped. It still will take decades to fully decommission the plant, and it must be kept stable until then.
Apartment collapses, kills eight
EUROPE
MOSCOW — At least eight people have been killed and 12 were injured after a section of a nine-story apartment building in southern Russia collapsed following a natural gas explosion, officials said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is running to reclaim the presidency in Sunday's vote, rushed to the explosion site Tuesday in an apparent bid to demonstrate the government's quick response to the accident.
He quickly ordered the local authorities to immediately find new apartments for all the residents of other sections of the building, relying on their fears that the entire structure could collapse.
Anzhelika Barinova of Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry says two others are still missing after Monday's explosion in Astrakhan, 1,300 kilometers southeast of Moscow.
As Putin was inspecting the wreckage, several hundred rescuers continued searching through the debris for those missing.

Results from individual polling stations are being relayed on private radio stations and on the website of the state news service, but the government says it won't issue an official tally until Friday.
Wade
Opposition leaders have criticized Wade, who held a press conference
Monday to announce that he is ahead with 32.17 percent of votes tallied so far. They said it is not the place of the president, but rather of the election commission to announce results.
"At this very hour, the provisional results are not yet known," said the head of the delegation of European parliamentarians, Cristian Dan Preda.
Based on results issued by private newspapers and by the president, it appears that none of the candidates got the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Wade, however, was handed a humiliating defeat in areas of the country that used to be his stronghold.
In the capital, Dakar, he came in third with 71,930 votes, behind opposition candidates Moustapha Nasse with 72,486 votes and Macky Sall, who was leading with 80,556 of the 326,500 votes cast, according to results published by the state-owned news service.
Details of violent riots are murky
ASIA
BEIJING — At least 12 people were killed in riots Tuesday near the Chinese city of Kashgar in the restive northwestern region of Xinjiang, state media reported.
No details were given about what might have set off the violence, although Xinjiang see periodic outbreaks of anti-government violence by restless members of the region's native Turkish Muslim Uighur ethnic group.
The Xinhua News Agency said riots armed with knives attacked victims in Yecheng county outside the city starting at about 6 p.m. They killed 10 people and police shot two assailants to death, the report said.
The Xinhua report could not be independently confirmed. Chinese authorities maintain tight control over information and the circumstances surrounding such incidents are often murky.
Xinhua said police were chasing others involved in the attacks but did not say how many suspects there were.
The periodic attacks in the region occur despite a smothering security presence imposed following 2009 riots in the regional capital of Urumqi that pitted Uighurs against migrants from China's majority Han in which almost 200 people died.
Xinjiang saw more deadly violence last summer, when a group of Uighurs stormed a police station in the city of Hotan on July 18 and took hostages, killing four. Then, just days later on July 30 and 31, Uighurs in Kashgar hijacked a truck, set a restaurant on fire and stabbed people in the street.
Authorities said 14 of the attackers were shot by police in Hotan, and five assailants were killed in the violence in Kashgar.

Saturation patrols target drunk, aggressive drivers
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
Kansas Highway Patrol officers arrested a man on suspicion of criminal possession of a handgun Saturday during a saturation patrol.
Lt. Joshua Kellerman said the arresting state trooper reported that the man fled on foot after a routine stop.
The man was in possession of a handgun.
"The gun was also fully loaded with a round, chambered and ready to go," Kellerman said.
The saturation patrol was part of a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation called Roving Aggressive Violations Enforcement. This grant allowed 12 state troopers to participate in patrols aimed at decreasing drunk driving and aggressive-driving issues.
"Through the RAVE program, KDOT has afforded us the opportunity to place extra patrols out on the roadway and try to make the Kansas roadways as safe as possible," Kellerman said.
State troopers arrested six people on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday. Kellerman said any amount of DUI arrests is
alarming.
The patrols took place in Douglas County, primarily in Lawrence. Kim Murphree, spokeswoman for the Lawrence Police Department, said the department did not participate in Saturday's saturation patrol.
Sgt. Steve Lewis, Douglas County Sheriff public information officer, said the sheriff's department did not increase patrols on Saturday, but the department plans to hold similar saturation patrols on March 16 and April 14.

Topeka man sentenced in 2009 campus robbery

who also required Dean to register as a violent offender for 15 years after he is released.
Dean and a codefendant, Mykel Dantae Karlyle, robbed a student of marijuana at
gunpoint in a parking lot near McColum Hall April 29, 2009. The student was planning on selling the drugs when he was robbed. The student was not charged.
Karlyle was sentenced earlier this month to more than five years in prison for his role in the robbery.
Jason Billiam, Dean's defense attorney, said Dean also faced federal charges after he was indicted in September on an incident in Shawnee County. Dean was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possessing a firearm while facilitating drug trafficking and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Billiam said it was unlikely Dean would serve the federal sentence concurrently.

Bill forces women seeking abortions to have ultrasounds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia's Senate has passed legislation that would require women seeking abortions to undergo noninvasive ultrasounds, days after eliminating a stipulation that the exams be conducted through a vaginal procedure that had drawn the scorn of commentators and TV comedians.
The bill returns to Virginia's House for expected concurrence on amendments added last week that would eliminate mandatory invasive vaginal ultrasounds and would exempt victims of rape and incest who reported the crimes to police.
The chamber narrowly controlled by Republicans split 21-19, mostly along party lines, in approving the amended measure Tuesday.
Senators on Tuesday rejected several amendments that would have made the procedure optional. By the end of the hour-long floor debate, tempers flared.
Republicans said the intent of the bill was to ensure that women would be fully informed about the gestational age of their fetuses as they make up their minds whether

to abort them. Seven states have laws mandating some form of pre- abortion ultrasound exam.
But female Democrats in particular angrily criticized Republicans and Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, a Republican who broke several tie votes in favor of his party in rejecting amendments that would have blunted the measure.
"The arrogance of this body in telling women what to do with their bodies," Sen. L. Louise Lucas of Portsmouth said, thrusting her finger toward the Republican side of the chamber.
The ultrasound bill, particularly before the mandatory invasive procedure was removed last week, was the most controversial of a wave of anti-abortion legislation rolling through Virginia's General Assembly, newly under the rule of Republican conservatives.
Sen. Mamie Locke accused Republicans of seeking the bill to "guilt women out of terminating a pregnancy."

Needs of urban children are overlooked
MEXICO CITY - Millions of children are growing up in squalid urban areas and denied basic services despite living close to them, the United Nations Children's Fund said Tuesday.
UNICEF said children living in slums and shantytowns often lack water, electricity and health care and it urged policy makers to ensure urban planning meets the needs of children.
The agency said it is common for statistics to show that, on average, children growing up in cities are better off than those in rural areas, which often leads to missing the plight of poor, urban children.
"This conceals the fact that the greatest inequities are found within towns and cities," it said. "In most urban areas, great opportunity and great deprivation exist side by side."
UNICEF said more than one-third of children in urban areas don't ever get birth certificates, which means they are invisible to authorities and can't get into social programs. This rises to half of all children in parts of Africa and

More than half of the world's population lives in cities and towns, including a billion children. By 2050, two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas, UNICEF said.
Many poor children in urban areas don't go to school and instead are forced to work to help their families, often in dangerous jobs. Tens of millions of children live or work on the streets and "the number is rising

Children are also vulnerable to people traffickers. UNICEF said nearly 2.5 million people are in forced labor as a result of trafficking, and a quarter to half of them are children.
"When we think of poverty, the image that traditionally comes to mind is that of a child in a rural village." UNICEF director Anthony Lake said in a statement. "But today, an increasing number of children living in slums and shantytowns are among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in the world, deprived of the most basic services and denied the right to thrive."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist and bandleader had the notion of freshness on his mind during recent swing through Los Angeles, because this new engagement comes on the heels of another residency he wrapped up last year down the Strip at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The House of Blues show promises to be different because its 1,500-person capacity makes it less than half the size of the 4,000-seat Joint. Santana's also looking for a regular infusion of fresh ingredients in his new enterprise from his vast network of friends and collaborators.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"Tomorrow is the unknown, so how do you rehearse the unknown?" Santana said. "To me, the unknown is inviting African musicians to join us, or Buddy Guy or Derek Trucks or Ben Harper, people from Phish, Warren Haynes — that's what 'Tomorrow' is bringing to the House of Blues."
He's not launching a new Subway sandwich franchise but a two-year residency at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, where beginning May 2 he'll be holding court for 80 nights a year with a reimagined show he's calling "Greatest Hits Live: Santana — Yesterday. Today & Tomorrow."

"What we do is focus on making everything fresh," he said. "I remind people: 'Ooh — don't bring last night's leftovers! Make it fresh and new and people will feel it'"
LOS ANGELES — Just for a moment, as Carlos Santana was outlining the philosophy underlying his latest business venture, it started to sound as if he might be branching out into the food service industry.
MUSIC
him from Mexico to his musical coming-of-age in the Bay Area, where he assembled the group that combined strains of rock, Latin, African and Cuban music into a heady, percolating blend. It fit well with the extended-jam mentality that was emerging from the region with the Grateful Dead and Moby Grape but actually drew from the long traditions of the native music of other lands.
"It's all in perception," said Santana, who moved to Las Vegas in 2009 and continues to live there with his second wife, Cindy Blackman, the group's percussionist whom he wed in 2010. "You can be by yourself in a cave in the Himalayas and you can have more distractions than Las Vegas because distraction really comes from your mental obsessions, perceptions, fears, compulsions.
The global reach of Santana's music is something he sees fitting perfectly into the entertainment mix in Las Vegas, even though Sin City might seem at odds with the spirituality that's been a key part of Santana — the man and the band.
Santana seems to have no burning wish to be anywhere else at this point in his life. After an extensive, and exhaustive, tour last year of more than 100 shows, he's happy to plant himself in Vegas and prep for his new performance regimen, which calls for blocks of eight shows over various two-week periods.
Staying put will also allow him time to record, and Santana says he's got three albums in mind to work on between the House of Blues gigs. "I'd like to do two with the band — one just in Spanish for the Latino audience, and one that hopefully will be radio-friendly," he said.

Beatles songs now available as ringtones
With The Beatles finally allowing some of their songs to be used as ringtones for the first time last week, the question quickly became "Which one should I download from iTunes?" (A 30-second ringtone is $1.29.)
THE LITERAL ONE: "Hello, Good-bye!" — though do try to start with the "Hello, hello, I don't know why you say goodbye" part for maximum literalness. You could also try the "Just call on me and I'll send it along" part of "From Me to You."
THE INSTRUMENTAL ONE(S): The guitar-fueled openings of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Ticket to Ride" and "Day Tripper" are pretty hard to beat, though the piano-pounding start to "Lady Madonna" could be fun. And, of course, there are the mighty beginnings of "Come Together" and "Get Back."
THE PRETTY ONE: The opening of "Something" is so soothing, it almost makes up for whatever interruption is probably looming on the other end of the call.
OSCARS
THE FUN ONE(S): "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine ..." or "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Decisions, decisions.

Jolie's leg-baring dress causes Internet sensation
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
There's going out on a limb, and there's your limb going out. Or you putting out your limb. Angelina jolie did, and now it's leg-endary.
Jolie put out her right leg repeatedly before and during Sunday's Academy Award presentations, and it instantly became an object for satire and sharing. Funny guy Jim Rash, one of the recipients of the best adapted screenplay Oscar, struck a Joliesque pose onstage in his tux.
Now, it has become an Internet meme — with a Twitter account: @AngiesRightLeg. As of 5 p.m. EST Monday, the account had drawn more than 19,000 followers.
One tweet: "Left leg and I talked — everything's cool. Next Oscars, she gets the slit." One writer, Rob Kutner, tweeted: "BREAKING: Fake Twitter account @ AngiesRightLeg given $9 kajillion book advance, CBS series that's already been pre-canceled."
--in which both Jolie pins were extended, revealing an unsuspected cowboy saunter. BuzzFeed ran it, too, getting more than 50,000 hits.
NELLA GALLIANA
MCGLATCHY TRIBUNE
Twitter reported a spike during Jolie's legfest of about 3,400 tweets per second, but that was dwarfed by Cirque du Soleil, whose aerial ballet drew traffic in excess of 18,000 per second.
Angela Jolie jope onstage at the 84th Annual Academy Awards Feb. 26. Jolie wore a dress with a high slit and didn't shy from showing off her leg.
By Monday, a new word had been created: legbombing. Al Roker and Ann Curry did a gamoff on "Today," for goodness' sake.
Visually, the leg has run away with itself. The creative aggregators at BuzzFeed ran the top 10 photographs of the actress' dextral limb. The Tumblr account oldghost ran a brilliant doctored image
Throughout the Web, photo manipulators were showing
Jolie's leg setting foot on the moon, stepping into Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, crossing the Delaware with Washington, and extending from the Statue of Liberty, among many, many other recontextualizations.

Public safety website is a valuable tool
Students and faculty at the University of Kansas have a wonderful resource right at our fingertips that most of us aren't even aware of.
EDITORIAL
Because of the Clery Act of 1990, all public safety offices that receive federal funds must file an annual report with information about criminal statistics, as well as file daily reports of crimes known as "Daily Crime Logs" and "Timely Warnings".
The reason why some think the website is not up to date is simply because they don't know the difference between a "Timely Warning" and a "Daily Crime Log."
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office is in compliance with this act, and all information can be found on http:// www2.ku.edu/~kucops/.
While it may look at first glance like the website hasn't been updated for quite some time,it is actually kept current daily through a partnership with the Computer Center.
Timely warnings are issued on a case-by-case basis based on factors that include nature of the crime, continuing danger to the campus community and possible risk of compromising law-enforcement efforts.
Basically, what this means is that under the "Crime Alerts" heading on the KU PSO website, only those crimes that are considered a danger to the campus community are posted. Timely warnings are announced through the website and sent to student housing, university administration and those students who subscribe to the Emergency
Other crimes not considered as dangerous can be found under the heading "New and Relevant Info" by clicking the link titled "Crime Reports USA/ Daily Crime Log," or by visiting www.crimereports.com.
Notification System.
To get information, all you have to do is enter the address or zip code you wish to search for. Here, you can find information relating to all crimes within a designated time range, as well as the fire log. The crime reports found here are both informative and easy to navigate.
According to Maj. Chris Keary, assistant chief of police for KU Public Safety, the website is a good tool because it gives people a chance to recognize that crime happens both on and off campus.
"If they're (students) aware, then hopefully they'll take steps to make sure it doesn't happen to them," Keary said. "Awareness reduces opportunity for crime."
The best way to make sure something does not happen to you is to be aware that it does happen. Know the statistics, be aware of dangerous areas where crime is consistently happening and don't allow yourself to be put in that situation.
Students should check the website frequently, and I highly recommend subscribing to the notification services to be as informed as possible. Information becomes knowledge. Knowledge becomes power. Power becomes safety. Safety leads to a happy campus. Be informed; be happy.

Students need to care about Kansas tax plan
The Kansas tax debacle continues, from Gov. Brownback to the House Republicans.
Now, perhaps you are wondering why you should care about these tax changes or why you should even spend five minutes to bother reading what I've written. Let me tell you why: because tax policy matters!
I realize tax policy is not the most thrilling, provocative, or sexy topic you've ever thought about. Trust me, I'm in federal income tax and I can't say it lights my fire. But it does affect us all in ways we rarely consider.
Let me give you three reasons it matters:
First, the tax changes will affect you where it hurts college students the most; your wallet. If you are currently working, you're not going to be receiving as much in your refund from the state. That should be reason enough for you to pay attention to the changes being proposed.
become instantly independently wealthy, but unfortunately, most of us will have to work to make a living. Jobs are important enough to all of us this should provide another reason to pay attention to tax changes.
Second, tax changes affect the availability of what we will all seek upon graduation from the University: a job. I know we all hope to
Third, and finally, it's our civic responsibility. As citizens of Kansas, we have an obligation to other citizens to participate in the political process to ensure the government creates a society that we can all perceive as legitimate and just. This remains true whether we are discussing tax policy, social issues, or criminal justice. You have to decide which side of those debates you fall on, but participate and fulfill your civic duty.
I hope at this point I've given you enough reasons to read on. Let's move on to the details of the new tax plan.
Last Monday, the House Republicans offered a new tax proposal as an alternative to Gov. Brownback's tax plan. Unfortunately, the new proposal takes many of the same objectionable pages from the governor's plan.
By Matthew Nygaard
mnygaard@kansan.com
The goal behind both these tax plans is noble: encourage
economic growth in Kansas. The theory is that reducing tax rates (both for individuals and businesses) will help create economic growth. The politicians are relying on lower taxes to incentivize business to either expand or locate in Kansas. Ideally, new businesses should result in more jobs, lower unemployment and less poverty. Or so the theory goes.
While the goal is noble, the House Republicans' proposal to reach this goal is inherently flawed for two reasons.
First, the House Bill 2747 takes many refundable tax credits, which put money in the pockets of the poorest taxpayers, and makes them nonrefundable tax credits. For example, if you owe $100 in taxes and you receive a $500 tax credit,
under the old system you would receive a $400 refund.
However, if the House Republicans plan is passed, you can only reduce the amount you owe in taxes to $0 but will not receive a refund. Therefore, the person who owes $100 in taxes receiving a $500 tax credit would not owe any taxes to the government but also would not receive a refund.
House Republicans claim this will save the state money. The Kansas Department of Revenue contends the tax relief provided for workers earning less than $45,000 (depending on the number of qualifying children) would be reduced from $91 million to just $30 million.
However, the effects of such a tax change are unclear. It is possible, and even probable, this change will put greater strain on Kansas social programs directed toward the poor. The question is: Will the changes actually save Kansas any money or do they simply shift costs?
Second, while the intended purpose of the tax changes is to promote economic growth, implementation of the changes
actually cuts jobs immediately. The proposal depends on borrowing $351 million from the state's transportation program to support other state programs while cutting taxes, which was sharply criticized by Rep. Nile Dillmore (D-Wichita) as being "intellectually dishonest." Borrowing will likely lead to road projects being delayed, which prevents people from working. Cities, counties, contractors and engineers have all protested this proposal.
Now granted, this only limits jobs in one particular area of the economy and if Kansas' economic growth soars, the jobs lost could be offset by the creation of new jobs. However, I hope I'm not the only one who finds it ironic that a tax plan that proposes to create economic growth simultaneously limits people's opportunity to work.
I'm still hopeful that Kansas tax policy can be reformed, but at this point it's clear we need another plan. Anyone have any proposal?

BEHAVIOR
Don't let fear get in the way of awkward situations
Was that girl in my western civilization class last semester?" I found myself thinking as I walked toward her on Jayhawk Boulevard. I was on my way to another class and it was one of those should-I-say-hi-orjust-look-away scenarios.
Just as we were about to pass each other, I saw her look down, and I followed suit. Such a scenario likely happens thousands of times a day on our campus. Typically, the word fear instills mental images of spiders, zombies, or other horror movies, not everyday situations. If you take fear down a notch, you might call it an ability to face an uncomfortable situation.
The first question is why do we engage in behavior that isn't necessarily due to fear but because we don't want to face an unpleasant situation? The short answer is negative reinforcement.
By Michael Sofis
msofis@kansan.com
It's the idea that we behave in order to remove something unpleasant, and by doing so, we are likely to repeat that behavior. My western civilization friend most likely behaved in such a way because in previous situations with similar contexts, she was also negatively reinforced for saying "Hi." We all engage in such behaviors.
Most governments or
individuals in power use negative reinforcement. While not ideal, the threat of punishment motivates us to behave so as to not experience repercussions. Citizens abide in a variety of financial, organizational and personal-conduct laws so they don't get punished. The avoidance of such punishment reinforces that behavior.
We know that some people engage in impulsive behavior and are more likely to engage in gambling or become addicted to illicit drugs. Well, what if the same is true for negative reinforcement and some of us turn away from the slightest hint of an unpleasant experience? So, what can we do with the knowledge that negative reinforcement has such power?
Take the example of waiting to complete a paper before it's due. The fear of losing credit and doing poorly in the course prompt you to complete the paper and subsequently feel better afterwards. So engaging in more consistent behavior (splitting up your assignments into several work periods) reduces the power negative reinforcement can have over us.
It doesn't just have to be tangible tasks. What if I try to expose myself to social situations that are slightly uncomfortable? What if I try to diversify those situations and face social fears? If I do so, I am likely to start a new schedule of positive reinforcement where I engage in a behavior because in the past it was enjoyable.
As undergraduates, our lives are at a crucial developmental point. We need to develop skills to deal with situations that are unpleasant to reap long-term rewards. Face the unpleasant initial circumstances so that you can enjoy the new, positively reinforced pattern of behavior. As college students, we are developing patterns of behavior that can continue for the rest of our lives. The question you need to answer is this: What kind of patterns do you want to continue?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Show class, have pride, and
display character. If you do winning takes care of itself."
So said the greatest football coach in collegiate history, Paul "Bear" Bryant of the University of Alabama.
Unfortunately, during the justified jubilation after Kansas' gut-wrenching victory over Mizou last Saturday, I encountered KU students who treated guests of the University with undeserved disrespect. It poisoned a wonderful experience.
I had the glorious good fortune to be witness to the greatest sport event I have ever seen and heard. The sound had substance. Allen Fieldhouse moved as it would in an earthquake. I hugged people I had never met and may not meet again. It all seemed right.
I brought three friends to the game, all of them graduates of Mizzou. One was my longtime law partner. The other two were his son and daughter-in-law. She is six months pregnant with twins. They were MU garb and pulled for their team. During the game, they encountered no unpleasantries from the KU fans. They were not happy with the result, but they too understood that they had experienced something historic.
As we were walking to my car after the game, approaching the intersection of Naismith and Sunflower, a group of about 10 KU undergraduates was crossing Naismith in the opposite direction. The students were celebrating the win.
Another famous coach, Darrell Royal of the University of Texas, once said, "When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before." Jerry Rice scored 197 touchdowns in his NFL career. How many times did he do a touchdown dance? Zero. We can celebrate our accomplishments without demeaning our opponents. We hope that they will treat us with respect when, as inevitably will happen, the tables are turned.
So let's commit ourselves to dignity in victory and grace in defeat. Remember too that victory is often tinged with luck. What would we be thinking if the referee had called Thomas Robinson for a foul at the end of regulation? We've all seen the tape.
And as for the students my friends and I encountered last Saturday, I suspect you know who you are and what you did. Apologies are not necessary at this point. Just keep all of this in mind the next time Kansas pulls out a last second win over Mizzou — or the next time the Tigers do that to the Jayhawks.
But as they saw us approach, they turned toward us and began to taunt my friends. They pointed and sang "Hey, Hey, Goodbye" repeatedly. It was not good-natured. It lasted 10 seconds, but it was an eternity. My friends were stunned; I was mortified.

It was a great week for Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers. On Feb. 21 against the Sacramento Kings, Chalmers finished with 20 points, going six of 12 from three-point range in the third quarter. He also tallied three assists, two rebounds, and a steal. The Heat won, 120-108. Over the weekend, Chalmers took part in the NBA three-point contest. He took the early lead in the first round with 18 points (four of five money balls), but was eliminated by Timberwolves' Kevin Love, who went on to be a finalist and eventually won the competition.

Selby was recently called up to the Memphis Grizzlies from the D-League Reno Bighorns. He played in just four games with the Bighorns, averaging 21.5 points a game and 5.5 rebounds in 31 minutes. He shot very well in his short stint there, too, going 48.3 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. He has yet to play in a game with the Grizzlies.

Morris played 15 minutes for Team Shaq in the Rising Stars Challenge over the All-Star break. He finished with 12 points, six of which were three-pointers. He was also spotted alongside his brother, Marcus, and many other former Jayhawks during Saturday's game at Allen Fieldhouse against Missouri.

OLYMPICS
Summer games give small towns opportunity to show off
ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — For athletes, the Olympics are about the gold. For London organizers, the Olympics are about the pink, the purple and the orange — colors that will give the 2012 games an immediately recognizable look.
Cities, towns and hamlets all over Britain are getting ready for their once-in-a-lifetime TV close-ups.
Take Mole Valley, a community of 80,000 near London that is hosting the Olympic cycling road race. It has asked residents to plant dahias, petunias and sunflowers in Olympia-approved shades so when the riders swish past on July 28-29, television viewers will be left seeing swishes of pink, purple and orange.
"What will people be reminded of when they pull out the T-shirt, the pin?" asked Greenwich University marketing department professor Peter Vlachos. "Will they remember London or the Olympics?"
It's not an accident: Making Britain memorable is considered critical to the long-term success of the games.
Work is being done now in hopes that viewers — and potential tourists in particular — fondly remember the U.K. and not just the sports. Britain's leaders will spend 9.3 billion pounds ($14.6 billion) on the games, but hope that tourism and
les, but hope that tourism an
A barge carrying huge Olympic rings is sailing down the Thames on Tuesday — a precursor of photo opportunities to come. Local neighborhoods without the money to hire a barge for the day need only consult Olympic organizers "Look Book" to get ideas — and purchase materials — to festoon their buildings in games-approved decor.
outside investments will repay billions in revenue over time.
"The people who are running these things and their paymasters and mistresses have convinced themselves that you hold these things to sell yourselves to the world," said David Goldblatt, who wrote "How to Watch the Olympics," with co-author Johnny Acton. "The selling of brand GB(Great Britain)/London is at the heart of the rationale."
London's look is predominantly pink, aqua blue, yellow, purple and green — big colors in shards that slash at the edges of Olympic banners.
This is not an idea unique to London. Hollywood-conscious Los Angeles recognized in 1932 that the games offered a platform for selling its image as the capital of glitz and sun. Organizers planted palm trees along Wilshire Boulevard, making it seem bigger, more stately — a feel that is readily identifiable as Californian.
"If people are going to take pictures, you've got to dress the set," Goldblatt said. "The genius of Los
Angeles is that they realized it."
Then Los Angeles supplied the cast — having Hollywood stars appear at the Olympic Village. Screen idols like Mary Pickford hosted parties. The Marx Brothers went to athletics events. Movie mogul Louis B. Mayer had athletes over for coffee.
Although it's a world away from Los Angeles, cycling venue Mole Valley is beside itself with excitement, planning British street parties, contests for kids, welcome centers for tourists.
"The games will put Surrey on the map," said Denise Saliagopoulos of theSurrey County Council, who predicts the games will attract 1 million tourists a year.
No one is forcing any community to take part. Banner hanging and flower planting are optional.
In London, organizers will hang the Olympic rings from the famous Tower Bridge. Light displays are also planned.
"Where a company deliberately attempts to create an authorized association with London 2012 we will take swift and firm action." organizations said in a statement.
In a separate move, Olympic organizers also are working to keep out any advertisers trying to sneak in a publicity stunt. Organizers have imposed strict advertising regulations along the route to protect Olympic sponsors from unwanted competition.
London's Olympics organizers
aren't really talking too much about look yet — preferring to wait until a big launch in the spring. One might say they are a tad media-shy, as their early attempts at a unified look have not been met with acclaim.
The unveiling of the 2012 London logo was met by a wave of derision. Iranian hard-liners complained that the squarish design spelled out the word "Zion" as opposed to the numerals "2012." Impromptu contests sprang up in the blogosphere to offer alternative logos featuring icons like Big Ben or the London Eye.
But that doesn't mean organizers won't go to great lengths to make sure London and other sites hosting the games look just so.
The marathon route originally was supposed to go through gritty areas in east London where the Olympic Park is located. But — mindful of television images — organizers rerouted the race so it now passes classic London landmarks.
Civic leaders in east London, however, were outraged. After six years of living next to one of Europe's biggest construction projects, they were hoping to reap the benefits of being on the world stage.
"It just makes you feel as if they were completely ashamed of that part of London," said Andrew Boff, a Conservative politician. "It didn't fit with TV angles."

Dear Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little,
The University of Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has ratified the statement below. Because it is evident that nontrivial errors were made in advising you as to the applicable procedures, rules and regulations, we sincerely hope that you will reconsider the denial of promotion and tenure to Professor Albert Romkes.
Respectfully,
-Professor Mohamed El-Hodiri, President The University of Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS (KUAAUP) STATEMENT ONDENIALOFPROMOTIONANDTENURETOPROFESSORALBERTROMKES
The KU AAUP is concerned about violations of due process in the denial of promotion and tenure to Professor Albert Romkes. Here are some relevant AAUP policies, along with reasons why we find that they have been violated:
1. "The precise terms and conditions of every appointment should be stated in writing and be in the possession of both institution and teacher before the appointment is consummated." ("1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure," adopted by the Kansas Board of Regents in 1947) "Any subsequent extensions or modifications of an appointment, and any special understandings, or any notices incumbent upon either party to provide, will be stated or confirmed in writing and a copy will be given to the faculty member." (Recommended Institutional Regulations on Academic Freedom and Tenure," 1.a)
We judge these to have been violated inasmuch as Prof. Romkes was not informed of a supposed departmental requirement that he be a Principal Investigator on a research project (as distinct from a Co-Investigator) until he was already within the promotion process.
Furthermore, there is a procedural problem that affects the basis for a negative decision: the supposed Principal Investigator requirement was never approved as policy by the Committee on Standards and Procedures for Promotion and Tenure, as required by FSRR 6.3.5.1-2. There is thus a violation of due process in invoking it as a reason--the sole one--for denial of tenure.
2. "Faculty status and related matters are primarily a faculty responsibility; this area includes appointments, reappointments, decisions not to reappoint, promotions, the granting of tenure, and dismissal. The primary responsibility of the faculty for such matters is based upon the fact that its judgment is central to general educational policy. Furthermore, scholars in a particular field or activity have the chief competence for judging the work of their colleagues; in such competence it is implicit that responsibility exists for both adverse and favorable judgments." The paragraph goes on to provide for review by the chief academic officers and concurrence of the governing board. It further states, "The governing board and president should, on questions of faculty status, as in other matters where the faculty has primary responsibility, concur with the faculty judgment except in rare instances and for compelling reasons which should be stated in detail." ("Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities.")
We judge this to have been violated on several counts. The Chair and Dean overruled the department and school faculty committees, invoking a "requirement" that the candidate have been a Principal Investigator in a funded research project. The committees judged that this was not an absolute requirement but could be outweighed by other evidence of Prof. Romkes' research accomplishments. The statements by the Chair and Dean gave a very few sentences of explanation to dispute the committees' judgments. The Chancellor's decision, communicated in a letter from the Provost (not even the Chancellor herself) stated no reasons at all. (Although it might be argued that the Chancellor was simply following the negative recommendation by the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure and therefore did not need to give justification, the Faculty Senate Rules and Regulations 6.9.1 indicate that she is to base her decision on the whole record, including the initial and intermediate levels. Therefore she should have addressed the judgments of the departmental and school committees whose recommendations she was overturning.)
Unfortunately the UCPT failed to consider the proper role of the faculty departmental and school committees, and accepted their overruling by the administrators. (However, they could not have been expected to know that the criterion was unapproved.)
Unfortunately also, Prof. Romkes did not learn of the use of an unapproved criterion until after the period for appeal to the Faculty Rights Board had expired. It took invocation of the Kansas Open Records Act to pry loose the history of departmental and school records. Prof. Romkes is a victim of the unreasonably short time (twelve days) in which to file an appeal. With due regard for the time demands on the various committees,the procedures should be modified to allow a reconsideration by the FRB and the Chancellor in the event that new evidence comes to light.
It is unclear whether the District Court will confront all the evidence, based on the limitations on evidence in a judicial review. The University's attorney has consistently fought against the introduction of evidence (which may be her right).
It is certain, though, that from a combination of circumstances the evidence was not fully confronted in the proceedings within the University. It would have been better to give Prof. Romkes a full hearing, rather than have the matter go to court and to public controversy.
We therefore think that the University, or certain of its personnel, seriously erred in their treatment of Prof. Romkes' case. A reconsideration would be very much in order. We call for such a reconsideration to enable fair consideration of Prof. Romkes' candidacy.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Jayhawks persevere in Florida golf challenge
TREVOR VON GRAF
tvongraff@kansan.com
The Kansas women's golf team tied for ninth place at the Sir Pizza Cards Challenge last weekend in Weston, Fla.
Redshirt sophomore,
Thanuttta Boonraksasat finished eighth with a four-over -par score of 220. Senior Katy Nugent also played well, as she tied for 23rd with a total score of 227. The Jayhawkes were nine shots out of fifth place.
"We had a couple of holes where we took some pretty big numbers," coach Erin O'Neil said. "We're kind of a young team, and we didn't manage our decisions and emotions as well as we could have, at times, over the last two days."
The 54-hole tournament presented a challenge in course management.
"The big numbers usually came from one errant iron shot or a shot around the green that just got away from us," O'Neil said. "We ended up having to take penalty shots. It was either the short game or approach shots that got away from us."
The course at Weston Hills Country Club proved challenging, as there was plenty of water and multiple bunkers guarding the approach to greens.
"It's a great course, in great condition," O'Neill said. "It definitely can get in your head if you let it."
Wind made the already
intimidating course a bit tougher over the weekend, as wind gusts increased later in second-round action.
But, Kansas persevered through the difficult course and wind gusts. Boonrakasat finished her strong performance with an eagle, solidifying her eighth-place finish.
"She's been a very good ball striker," O'Neil said. "We've worked a lot on her short game. We got her a new putter right before the holiday break, and I think that's helped her a lot. She only had two three-puts in three rounds, which is huge."
Boonraksasat's exceptional play can be credited to her positive attitude on the course.
"I just keep singing and keep
changing songs," Boonraksasat said. "I don't get mad at my play, because I can't change anything anyway."
Senior Katy Nugent continued her solid play. Nugent's consistency stems from focusing on her short game.
"I like to make sure my short game is always good," Nugent said. "No matter what happens, you always have it there to pick you up if you're struggling."
The Jayhawks will travel to the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational this weekend in Rio Verde, Ariz.

YOGA
Yogis to host first tournament
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seeking the perfect pose will be the order of the day at the National Yoga Asana Championship, being put on March 2-4 by an organization that wants to see yoga asana, or posture, competition become an Olympic sport.
NEW YORK — The judges will be watching — were the competitor's knees locked? Were the wrists straight? Did the forehead and the knee connect? If not, points are going to be lost.
Wait, competitive yoga? Isn't that counterintuitive to something that's usually presented as a spiritual, meditative discipline? Not according to Rajashree Choudhury, who founded USA Yoga, which is holding the competition.
First of all, she says, the focus is on yoga postures. "I'm not trying to measure anybody's 'eight
states," she said, referring the meditative and spiritual aspect of yoga practice. "The posture can be competitive."
Participants must do a series of seven yoga poses in three minutes. Five are compulsory — standing head-to-knee pose, standing bow-pulling pose, bow pose, rabbit pose, and stretching pose. The participants are allowed to pick the last two poses themselves.
The poses show "how someone can have perfect strength, balance, flexibility in the body," Choudhury said.
Competitors who have come in first or second in state meets are expected from 32 states. The New York competition is March 2; the national semi-finals on March 3 and the finals on March 4. The winners will take part in an international competition scheduled for June in Los Angeles.
place in India, where yoga originated, and elsewhere around the world. Choudhury took part in them growing up, as did her husband, Bikram Choudhury, founder of the Bikram Yoga form of hot yoga, which consists of a series of 26 poses done in a heated room.
Yoga pose competitions take
She says the competitions can be a way to interest people in yoga who might be put off by the spiritual aspect,by showing them the athletic aspect.
But not all yoga practitioners agree.
"The roots of yoga are based in acceptance and non-violence and compassion toward self and others," said Roseanne Harvey, 35, of Montreal, who's been practicing yoga for 15 years and blogs about it at http://www.itsallyogababy.com.
She pointed out that in most yoga classes, "what we're trying to do is encourage students not to
compete," she said.
While saying that the universe of yoga had "room within it for lots of different approaches," Harvey had some concerns about what yoga pose competitions would be promoting, that people could get hurt if the idea filters down that it's about being able to get into the perfect positions.
She also wondered if that emphasis on the perfect pose would put off people who would look at the competitors as attaining a physical level they can't reach.
"It can deflate people, it can intimidate people from wanting to try it," she said.
Choudhury isn't too concerned about those put off by the idea of competitions.
"Yoga teaches people to be non-judgmental," she said.
TRACK AND FIELD
Women's team No.6 after third-place finish in Big 12 championship
For the third straight week, the women's track and field team is ranked in the top 10, moving to sixth place in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll. The team is coming off a week in which it earned third place in the Big 12 indoor Championship meet and brought home four event titles.
Junior horizontal jumper Andrea Geubelle regained the title of best triple jump in the nation. On her best jump of the day, Geubelle reached the automatic qualification mark for the NCAA Indoor Championships. She is also ranked 19th in the nation in the long jump. She finished second in the Big 12 to her teammate Junior Francine Simpson. It was the first conference title for Simpson, who is ranked ninth in the nation.
The 4-by-400 meter relay team set the fastest time in Kanas history and eighth in the all-time NCAA rankings.
The team of senior Danesha Morris, junior Paris Daniels, junior Taylor Washington and sophomore Diamond Dixon is the fastest 4-by-400 relay team in the NCAA this season and qualified automatically for the national championship meet.
Diamond Dixon also brought the indoor 400 meter Big 12 crown to Lawrence. Her winning race set the second fastest time in the nation and automatically qualified for the national championship. The sophomore spinner is having an All-American caliber season.
The Jayhawks showed more versatility as sophomore Demi Payne and senior Alena Krechyk finished second in the pole vault and weight throw.
Five of the ten Big 12 teams are currently ranked in the track and field coaches' association top 25 poll, including Texas A&M (5), Iowa State (15), Texas (18) and Texas Tech (23).

THE MORNING BREW Border Showdown for Coach of the Year
The showdown between Missouri and Kansas may have ended for the final time last Saturday,but
the war isn't finished. The Jayhawks secured a share of the Big 12 title in the victory, but another battle continues to take place.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self and Missouri coach Frank Haith both have an opportunity to earn Big 12 Coach of the Year after their respective schools' seasons. The easy choice would be Bill Self. Not so fast. Here are some qualities that could decide this close race.
ADVERSITY
The term can be used for many situations, but both coaches experienced some adversity throughout the season.
On April 4, 2011, Missouri made a surprise decision to hire Frank Haith. Haith left Miami to become the newest leader of the Tigers. Most coaches in their first year tend to struggle. At Miami, Haith compiled a 129-101 record with a 43-69 record in conference play.
Tiger fans questioned the decision
while Jayhawk fans laughed at the hire. Well, Haith proved he deserved a shot with Missouri. In his first year, Haith has led Missouri to a 25-4 record with impressive performances against Kansas.
Don't forget that Missouri lost a key member of its team earlier in the season. Laurence Bowers, a 2011 Big 12 All-Defensive Team, pick tore his ACL. The Tigers immediately lost 11.6 points per game. Haith never budged and now the Tigers will most likely finish second, barring a collapse.
Now, Bill Self isn't in his first year at Kansas, but he also lost key players. Brady Morningstar, Tyreel Reed and Mario
Little all graduated. Josh Selby, Marcus and Markieff Morris left for the NBA. Self had to rely on a recruiting class to replace those stars.
That didn't happen. Freshmen Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor and Braeden Anderson were ruled ineligible for the 2011-2012 season. With few players on the bench, Self relied on his starters and marched through the season. While Haith suffered with the loss of Bowers Self had a tougher hill to climb with a slim bench.
WINNING
With the win against Oklahoma State, Kansas now has its eighth-straight Big 12 conference title. Yes, that is monumental, but people forget that the Jayhawks were picked to win the title this year.
Texas A&M and Kansas were picked to tie for first in the Big 12. While the Aggies faltered, the Jayhawks maintained focus with Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson leading the way. That may hurt Bill Self in the decision., since Missouri doesn't have players like Taylor or Robinson.
KU
Missouri was picked to finish fourth. One coach gave Missouri a first-place vote, but overall, no one saw the Tigers competing for the title. Missouri might finish second in the Big 12 and Haith did this without a National Player of the Year candidate. Also, a victory against Kansas might help his case to win.
WINNER
Both coaches deserve recognition, but Bill Self edges out Frank Haith for Big 12 Coach of the Year. Kansas was expected to win, but Self coached his best season here at Kansas. But don't be surprised if people choose Frank Haith for the tremendous job he did at Missouri and its second-place finish.

COMMENTARY
Big 12 title a surprise
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Kansas' 70-58 victory against Oklahoma State on Monday night clinched the Jayhawks' eight consecutive Big 12 title, and all I can say is "Wow."
This wasn't supposed to happen, right?
This is a team that returned just one starter, point guard Tyshawn Taylor, lost the Morris twins and Josh Selby to the NBA, and relied on a mostly unproven Thomas Robinson to become a superstar.
This is a team with no depth; the first two players off the bench are walk-ons.
This is a team that lost on neutral courts to Kentucky, Duke and Davidson.
This is a team that plays in a conference with the senior-heavy Missouri Tigers and the ultrafalented Baylor Bears.
But, ultimately, this is a team that danced in Gallagher-Iba Arena's visitor locker room with the Big 12 championship trophy.
The 2011-12 edition of the Jayhawks are clearly a flawed group, but at the same time, those flaws don't hold Kansas back. Where previous Kansas teams have failed, this year's group succeeds.
Down 19 points with 16 minutes, 24 seconds left in the game, the jayhawks showed resolve that would send the 16,300 people at Allen Fieldhouse into an unprecedented 127.3-decibel frenzy. At the moment when everything seemed wroug for Kansas, Self's team stopped trying to be an "elite" team and instead played to its strengths.
Bill Self's last two teams were considered elite from day one and went the whole season listening to pundits build them up. When March rolled around, Kansas played with a reckless sense of invincibility that proved costly in a pair of shocking upsets to Northern Iowa and Virginia Commonwealth.
Kansas lost a heartbreaker at Mizzou Arena on Feb. 4, and in Saturday's highly anticipated rematch, Missouri looked poised to run Kansas out of the gym.
The Jayhawks executed the high-low offense to perfection as Robinson showed a national audience why he's one of the leading candidates for National Player of the Year. Taylor made plays, and Conner Teahan found his range, knocking down all four three-point attempts.
Kansas chipped away the Missouri lead with such composure that Self's emphatic reaction after the final buzzer says it all:
For a team picked to finish atop the Big 12 standings in the preseason, the Jayhawks play the everyone-is-doubting-us card well. Instead of pleading for the nation's approval or calling out doubters, Kansas lets the game do the talking.

This team will surprise you.

Kansas" new strength and conditioning coach Scott Holsopple wants to instill dedication and discipline in the Jayhawk football program. He was hired two months ago.

RENEWED DISCIPLINE
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Sitting calmly in his chair, new football strength and conditioning coach Scott Holsoppe told a story of discipline. The tale consisted of a player calling Holsoppe to tell him that he was stuck in traffic and would be late to that day's practice. Instead of offering sympathy, Holsoppe insisted that he get out of his vehicle and run.
This exemplifies the dedication that Holsopple wants from his players. It embodies the new, discipline-first mindset of the Kansas football team that originates with Holsopple himself.
"That's what I expect from them, because I would do the same thing." Holsopple said. "If my truck broke down an hour away, I'm going to run to make sure I'm here. I'm going to run."
While the new coaching staff tries to preach discipline to its players, Holsoppe has the added task of conditioning them the way coach Charlie Weis would like for the spring.
THE ROAD TO KANSAS
Just two months ago, Holsopple was the top assistant on the Florida Gators' strength and conditioning staff.
Holsopple spent five years at Florida. He won a national championship in 2008. He helped coach and mentor 18 players who were drafted in the NFL, six of whom were first-round draft picks.
Shortly after Weis left his position as offensive coordinator at Florida to take the Kansas job, he spoke with Holsopple about coming to Kansas to run the strength and conditioning program.
Florida's record during his time was 50-17, but the decision for Holsop to leave one of the nation's most elite programs to come to a Kansas team that went 2-10 last season was an easy one.
"In my head, the decision was
made when I hung up the phone with him," Holsopple said. "I just knew. When you get a great opportunity like this, you don't waver or hesitate."
In addition to his respect for Weis, Holsopple said he had a folder that helped with the decision. In this folder, there are pictures of every football facility in the country and a list of every exercise machine each school has.
better facilities than what the University of Kansas has here." Holsopple said. "They're the best of the best."
So Holsopse knew all about the state-of-the-art, $31 million Anderson Family Football Complex, which he now has at his disposal.
During his short time at Kansas, Holsopple has received advice from special teams coordinator Clint Bowen.
"You're not going to get any
And those attributes come to fruition in the weight room with Holsopple.
Bowen coached with former head coach Mark Mangino in 2008 during one of the Kansas' winningest football seasons.
Bowen said Mangino's coaching philosophy emphasized three key concepts: toughness, conditioning and smarts.
"In college football, no one spends more time with the players than the strength coach," Bowen said. "His role is invaluable."
Additionally, Holsopple has received rave ratings throughout his career in coaching.
Holsopple, a former All-American boxer at Penn State, coached at his alma mater and Notre Dame in the years after graduating. He then spent five seasons as Marquette's strength and conditioning basketball coach, where he received praise from former head coach Tom Crean.
"Scott Holspole would be the MVP of our staff right now." Tom
Now, it's time for Holsopple to do the same at Kansas.
Cream said to gomarquette.com during the 2001 season. "He's done a tremendous job of building their bodies over a period of time."
"I don't expect anybody to be able to get through it right now," Holsopple said. "You're not supposed to. It shouldn't feel good. It's never going to. It's part of the price you pay that makes winning so sweet. I don't judge somebody for being down. I judge them for not standing back up."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Senior Day's focus falls on Sutherland
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
When it comes to recent Kansas women's basketball history, there are a few players that roll off the tongue when chatting about the team around campus: Danielle McCray, Angel Goodrich and Carolyn Davis.
All of these players have received high praise for their efforts on the court, but one player sometimes slips through the cracks.
That's never bothered senior forward Aishah Sutherland, even though she's been one of the Jayhawks' top contributors throughout her career in Lawrence.
"I just did what I need to do to help this team," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "I didn't try to do anything outstanding. I wasn't really in the spotlight all the time, but I just did what I needed to do to win."
Tonight, Sutherland will have the stage to herself, as she is the lone senior for Kansas. They Jayhawks will face off against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls for Senior Night.
For one night, Sutherland will take in all the emotions that come with playing her last game at Allen Fieldhouse.
"It's my night," Sutherland said with a smile on her face. "We'll
stay focused. We need to win this game, but after that, it's all the fun, walking and hugging everybody, and it will always be just about me."
Since Sutherland was recruited out of Paris, Calif., Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson knew that if Sutherland brought her size and athleticism to the Kansas program, Henrickson could turn
"You don't play in this league and at this level, and with the players she's played with, and put up those numbers and not be significant," Henrickson said.
Sutherland into a special player
"I just did what I need to do to help this team. I didn't try to do anything outstanding."
Even with all the emotion that will happen tonight, the Jayhawks must take care of business. Unsure about its postseason placement, Kansas hopes a victory against Oklahoma State will help it move closer to the NCAA Tournament.
The Cowgirls come into this game in a similar position as the Jayhawks, battling to move up in the Big 12 rankings.
Currently, Kansas (18-10) sits in sixth place with a 7-9 conference record. Oklahoma State (14-11) only trails by one game, with a 6-10 record.
Throughout the season, two players have stood among the Cowgirls. Sophomore Tiffany Bias continues to show improvement as Oklahoma State's point guard. Bias has challenged some of the top players in the Big 12.
AISHAH SUTHERLAND
Senior forward
"A team that's in the same boat we are," Henrickson said. "Both staring at each other and saying 'We need to get you.'"
Freshman Liz Donahue has also been an offensive force for Oklahoma State, leading the team with 12.8 points per game.
B u t,
Sutherland will
be the focus for the Oklahoma State defense. Last time the two teams played, she grabbed a season-high 22 rebounds.

No matter the outcome, Kansas knows Sutherland has made a long-term impact on the program.
"The most important is for us to win and send her out of here with a big win on Senior Night," Henrickson said.
