STAMPEDING STUDENTS
PANIC TAKES OVER LINE FOR FINAL FOUR TICKETS

NEW ORLEANS — As thousands of students lined up waiting for tickets in a parking garage adjacent to the Mercedez-Benz Superdome, a "Let's go Jayhawks" chant boomed throughout the garage. Right on cue, Louisville, Kentucky and Ohio State fans drowned out the chant with boos. But that was the calm part of Saturday.
The chaos began early in the morning when students from all four universities lined up, hoping to get a floor seat to the two Final Four games. A metal barrier separated each school, and everything was calm, until security guards told the students they weren't supposed to be in the garage at all.
Students said they stamped outside of the garage, hoping to keep their spot at the front of the line. Before things could settle down, the students were instructed to return to their original

YANGON, Myanmar — The party of democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi said she had led it to a landslide election victory Sunday, setting the stage for her to take public office for the first time and head a small opposition in the military-dominated parliament.

Descendents of ancient Islamic city of Timbuktu attack city
AFRICA
AGADEZ, Niger — Booms from rocket launchers and automatic gunfire crackled Sunday around Mali's fabled town of Timbuktu, known as an ancient seat of Islamic learning, for its 700-year-old mud mosque and, more recently, as host of the musical Festival in the Desert that attracted Bono in January.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
On Sunday, nomadic Tuauregs who descended from the people who first created Timbuktu in the 11th century and seized it from invaders in 1434, attacked the city in their fight to create a homeland for the Sahara's blue-turbaned nomads. Their assault deepens a political crisis sparked March 21 when mutinous soldiers seized power in the capital. The Tuauregs have rebelled before, but never have they succeeded in taking Timbuktu or the major northern centers of Kidan and Gao, which fell Friday and Saturday as demoralized government troops retreated.
The Tuareg set up their camel-skin and palm-mat tents in the dry season, attracted by Timbuktu's location where the Niger River flows toward the southern brink of the Sahara Desert, prompting some to call it the point where "the camel meets the canoe."

The expression "from here to Timbuk
tu” conjures up the end-of-the-earth remoteness of the sun-baked frontier town. It does not express the town’s dynamic role as a major crossroads for the caravan trade between the Arab north and black West Africa, bringing together black Africans, Berbers, Arabs and, above all, the Tuaregs.
The tents soon gave way to sun-dried terracotta-colored mud brick buildings built in the Moorish style as traders, medical doctors, clerics, artists, poets and others settled.

Police block off Red Square to prevent anti-Putin protest
MOSCOW Police detained about 55 protesters on Sunday outside the gates to Red Square, which was unexpectedly closed to all visitors and tourists to prevent an anti-Kremlin demonstration.
Opposition activists had called on supporters to walk around the square wearing the white ribbons that have become a symbol of the protest movement against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the stifling of democratic politics during his 12 years in power.
When police took the unusual step of closing the vast cobblestone square near the Kremlin, about 300 protesters gathered instead just outside the gates. The meeting place, communicated through social networking sites, was the "zero kilometer," the spot from where all distances from Moscow are
measured.
Holding hands to form a circle, the protesters chanted "This is our city," "Russia will be free" and "Russia without Putin."
Putin faced unprecedented protests by tens of thousands of people in the months ahead of a March presidential election. Since his victory, the street protests have dwindled and have been routinely broken up by police. Those detained have usually been released by the end of the day.
Some of the protesters then demanded to be allowed onto Red Square and police rounded them up, leading or carrying them onto waiting buses.
Police said about 55 people were detained.

Presidential candidates in Mexican election promise change
MEXICO CITY The four candidates for Mexico's presidency officially launched their campaigns for the July 1 election on Friday, all of them promising change.
Enrique Pena Nieto, who is running for the Institutional Revolutionary Party that ruled Mexico from 1929 to 2000, used the word "change" 26 times in his first official campaign speech.
"Mexico is clear on what it wants, and it doesn't want more of the same," Pena Nieto declared in the western city of Guadalajara. "It wants to exit this stage of shadow and darkness and enter a new stage of light and hope."
The Obama campaign's skillful use of social media in 2008, when it employed email, text messages and the Web to reach voters, appears to have made an impact on the Mexican political scene.
Pena Nieto's focus on "a grand crusade for change" and "the change we want" echoed the 2008 campaign slogan of President Barack Obama, "change we can believe in." It was unclear whether that echo was intentional.
Josefina Vazquez Mota, whose pre-campaign appearances have been plagued by logistical difficulties and poor planning, told supporters Friday to use social media, "this new world that accompanies us," to attract potential voters.
"It's going to be hard to reach every corner of the country," Vazque Mota acknowledged. In fact, the first female candidate for a major Mexican party has had trouble making it on time to campaign events in Mexico City, let alone the often violent and isolated outlying regions of the country.
Though she is an incumbent-
party candidate, Vazquez Mota is
campaigning on the one-word slogan, "Different," perhaps an attempt to distance herself from President Felipe Calderon's six-year offensive against drug cartels. More than 47,000 lives have been lost to drug-related violence in that time.
All three major-party candidates said they want to bring peace to Mexico.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is making his second run for the presidency for the leftist Democratic Revolution Party after narrowly losing the 2006 election, said at his first campaign news conference Friday that he represents "true change."
Lopez Obrador led weeks of street blockades to protest what he claimed was fraud in the 2006 elections and later anointed himself as "legitimate president." He has since been seeking to change his angry, radical image for a softer one.

'Great Expectations adapted into series
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
In the latest BBC adaptation of "Great Expectations," which airs in two parts on Masterpiece Classic, only Miss Havisham, as played by Gillian Anderson, is allowed the full dimension of her literary nature. Anderson, who also gave a stellar performance as Lady Dedlock in 2006's "Bleak House," shines as one of the author's most famous creations, a woman jilted on her wedding day who refuses to move beyond that moment, moldering along with her wedding cake and bridal finery. And I mean literally shines; when we
LOS ANGELES — The trouble with attempting to adapt any novel by Charles Dickens into a three-hour miniseries (a mini miniseries?) is that even the best, cleverest screenwriter will be forced to boil the story down to its essential plot. And though Dickens did not shirk on plot, deliriously crisscrossing fistfuls of them as if each book were an unending game of cat's cradle, action is not what defined his work.
God, they say, is in the details, and so is Charles Dickens, in the evocation of place, the palpable rise of mood and, most important, the creation of characters so freighted with eccentricity as to be unbelievable but so finely drawn that they live and breathe nonetheless.
first meet her, through the eyes of young Pip (Oscar Kennedy), she is as luminous in a way that recalls Ian McKellen's Gandalf, after he has become Gandalf the White. Within that alarmingly CG-ish halo is a riveting performance that Dickens, who hastened his death 200 years ago by giving intense dramatic readings of his works, would no doubt applaud.
Pip soon finds himself sent to Satis House, the home of Miss Havisham, to provide companionship to the lady's young ward, Estella (Izzy Meikle-Small). Despite Estellas coldness, Pip falls in love and longs to become a gentleman, and worthy of Estella, rather than a lowly blacksmith like Joe, who Phelps has deprived of his unwavering faith in Pip.
Although the basic story remains intact, the rest of the characters are sacrificed to time, space and screenwriter Sarah Phelps' choices, a small tragedy considering the talent of the performers. Raised by his "rampaging" older sister (Claire Rushbrook) and her kindly husband, Joe Gargery (Shaun Dooley), in the marshy wastelands, Pip one day encounters an escaped convict (Ray Winstone) who demands a file; Pip adds a pork pie, and when the convict is recaptured, he keeps Pip's actions to himself.

'Anchorman' sequel announced on 'Conan'
COMEDY
LOS ANGELES — The announcement from a burgundy-suited, white-shoot Will Ferrell on "Conan" Wednesday night that an "Anchorman" sequel was on its way prompted cheers from fans who have followed the project's ups-and-downs for years.
Certainly the cast had become pricier as the stock of Ferrell and Steve Carell rose after the 2004 film.
What exactly changed at studio Paramount, which had long floured the flutist and balked at a Ron Burgundy follow-up (and, more to the point, the price thereof) remains a discussed question in Hollywood.

Filmmaker discusses new 'Deep Blue Sea'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Davies, an erudite, frank and soft-spoken man, visited Los Angeles recently from his home in London to talk about "The Deep Blue Sea" and to attend a tribute for him at the American Cinematheque.
LOS ANGELES — Independent filmmaker Terence Davies, 66, has made only five narrative feature films in the last 24 years. After making several short films, including his trio of autobiographical works known as "The Terence Davies Trilogy," he made his feature directorial debut with his 1988 autobiographical drama "Distant Voices, Still Lives," about a young boy growing up in a large working-class Catholic family in Liverpool in the 1940s and '50s. Among his other films are 1992's autobiographical drama "The Long Day Closes" and his 2000 adaptation of Edith Wharton's "The House of Mirth."
His latest film, "The Deep Blue Sea," is set in post-World War II London, where 40-year-old Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz) has left her wealthy, upper-class and passionless life with her titled husband (Simon Russell Beale) after she experiences erotic love for the first time with a dashing young ex-Royal Air Force pilot, Freddie (Tom Hiddleston). But Hester soon discovers that the only thing she has in common with him is sex; the film opens with her failed suicide attempt.
"The Deep Blue Sea" is based on British playwright Terence Rattigan's ("The Browning Version," "Separate Tables") 1953 play and the 1955 film version, which he adapted, starring Vivien Leigh as Hester and Kenneth More as Freddie. Stylistically and thematically, Davies also pays homage to one of his favorite films that also explored illicit passion and love — David Lean's 1945 "Brief Encounter."
Q. Are the original Rattigan play and the movie vastly different than your adaptation?
A. The problem with the play and with all of his plays is the whole of the first act is exposition and it's not interesting. I said to myself, "If we do it from Hester's point of view, most of the exposition can go because you can show it on-screen." The first act is collapsed into nine minutes, and if there are not scenes in the play to which Hester is not privy, they have got to be dropped because she's not there. That made it that much easier. It also made it look more interesting. Although it is sort of a linear narrative, it is an expressionistic linear narrative with some flashbacks.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Q. I read that you were initially reluctant to do "Deep Blue Sea." Was it because you had never adapted a play?
Q. The majority of your characters in your films are outsiders. Hester is no exception, because she has given up the world of privilege but doesn't fit into the working-class universe. You also have often stated that you feel like an outsider.

A. It goes back to childhood. I was the youngest of 10. In England, you go to primary school from 5 to 11, and then you go to secondary school from 11 to 15, which is when I left school. I couldn't hear myself, so I thought I spoke like everyone else, with a very thick Liverpool accent, but I sounded like this even at 11. I was beaten every day for four years (at school).
A. I switched the TV on and this film had already started and this girl came on with this won-
A. I was afraid because I hadn't done it before. But the Rattigan Trust couldn't have been more supportive. They said, "Be radical," which is fantastic. It is the jewel in their crown. They could have gotten a really big studio to do it, but they said, "No, we want you to do it."
Director Terece Davies attends the screening of "Deep Blue Sea" in Toronto, Canada. Sept. 11, 2011.
like now in Britain?
A. The class system is still well alive and in England. It's just hidden. We showed the film in Cambridge, and at the end of the Q&A, one lady stayed behind and said, "I have to ask you about the scenes with (Hester's mother-in-law)." I said to myself, "Oh, Lord." You can tell when someone is a bit strange. She said, "When Hester ate the soup, did she deliberately eat it the wrong way to antagonize the mother?" and I said to her, "I had no idea there was a right or wrong way."
Q. Britain of the 1940s and early 1950s seems very emotionally stunted.
A. In those days, Britain was much more reticent. Emotion was considered vulgar, (Composer) Edward Elgar died in 1934, and there were still people around at the time who thought he was still too passionate. Displays of emotion were considered embarrassing even in the working class. A lot of people in those days — both men and women — didn't know much about sex.

Smoking laws need to be enforced
Walking in and out of crowded buildings on campus can already be an experience that is less than ideal for some people. When you add smoke filling the air, pouring out of the butts of cigarettes and blown from the mouths of fellow students, the experience becomes even worse.
Smoking laws on campus are not being enforced, at least not in the manner they should be. The policy, according to an open letter from Dianne Goddard, the Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, and the Interim Chief Information Officer on September 10, the
somking policy was changed for the 2010-2011 school year
The policy currently states that smoking is prohibited inside any and all campus buildings, including overhangs, and may not occur within 20 feet of "air intakes." Basically, this means that smoking isn't allowed within a 20 foot radius of any window or door of any building on campus. The policy also states that "smoke must not drift through opened windows or doors."
These laws are not being enforced to the extent that they should be. Outside almost any on-campus building or residence hall, you can see people
right outside the front doors smoking, whether they're killing time between classes or waiting on a bus. These smokers who are not following the rules in place make campus a much less enjoyable place to be.
According to the laws on record, "persons who violate provisions of this law may be guilty of a cigarette or tobacco infraction punishable by fines ranging from $100.00 to $500.00. Individuals may also be subject to appropriate disciplinary action as an employee or as a student for violating the provisions of this University policy."
From non-smokers, as well as those smokers who follow the posted laws, we urge two things.
First, to the smokers on campus: Please follow the guidelines being put in place. These laws are for the benefit of the health of students and faculty on our beautiful campus. If you have to light up, step away from the entrances to the building. It really doesn't require that much effort.
Secondly, to the University of Kansas Public Safety Office, please patrol and enforce these laws more carefully. What is the point of having laws on the record that are not enforced?
If people don't think they'll be punished for breaking laws, why would they abide by them? This is a law, just as observing a posted speed limit is a law. Why enforce one, and not enforce the other?
Let's get rid of this problem, and make our beautiful, lovely campus a more enjoyable and inviting place for students, faculty, and guests alike.

The tragedy in Afghanistan should not be left ignored
There are times when I am overwhelmed by humanity. It happens when I read about incredible feats of science and technology, such as phones that can identify people. It happens when I see stories of people coming to the aid of strangers in the face of disaster, who are neighbors not by geography but by compassion.
By Danielle Onions
donions@kansan.com
But lately, humanity (or lack thereof) has been overwhelming me in a less pleasant sense. In the last few weeks, I've had very visceral, even physical reactions to certain news stories. Murders are, sadly, nothing new. Neither are kidnappings, bombings, rapes, or hate. But nothing has made my skin crawl more than the reaction by a minority of Americans to the recent tragedy in Afghanistan.
It's hard for me to form my own opinion on Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, the soldier charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder after a shooting spree in Southern Afghanistan. Is he a cold-blooded killer filled with hate and rage, who planned an attack that would not only decimate a community but risk international repercussions? Or is he himself, though guilty in a technical sense, a victim of a mismanaged war and a military that overlooked physical, mental, and emotional conditions which would make soldiers vulnerable to dangerous and deadly breakdowns? Was Bales a rogue soldier intent on massacre,
a violent man with the desire, tools, and ability to murder civilians? Or was he the product of his environment, an environment that most of us here in the States cannot imagine because we have chosen not to dedicate portions of our lives to the service of our country? If the latter is true, some question whether his culpability is lessened, should he be found guilty of having carried out these attacks.
In my opinion, that's what the trial is for. Not the trial by media or the public, not the verdict of Glenn Beck or Barack Obama or my neighbor down the street. And while I, with the rest of the world, await the fate of Robert Bales, I cannot help but be overwhelmed by reactions to the whole debacle.
I expect people to be divided over the guilt of Staff Sergeant Bales, especially while the investigation continues and before litigation begins. But to hear Americans talk about the situation "over there" with "those people" makes me sick. It makes me sick to hear suggestions that
this man should not be interrogated or "put through the stress" of a trial. To have people justify, not just murder, but massacre because of A, B, and C.
If this happened over here, to four American men, four American women, two American boys, and seven American girls, we, as Americans, would know their faces. The media would make sure that their names and their images were burned into our brains. If Masooma Wazir was instead named Abigail Johnson, if she had grown up in Pennsylvania or Georgia instead of Harmara, we would know that this seven year old liked to fly kites and bake cookies.
We would know that before a grown man, a father, a symbol of American strength, slaughtered her and her family, Masooma had beautiful eyes.
I believe that if Masooma's name was Abigail or Sarah or Brittany and she was in the second grade at an elementary school down the road in Lawrence, Kansas, we would not hear a small but vocal minority calling for protections for her killer. She wouldn't be one of "those people." She would be remembered, mourned, and honored. We would know her name.

CBS casting not a problem
For whatever reason, we have become obsessed again with the enigmatic detective who lives at 221B Baker Street, otherwise known as Sherlock Holmes. Between the Guy Ritchie films, the popular BBC show "Sherlock," and CBS' upcoming show "Elementary," Holmes is being updated and modernized faster than his author could have imagined. And with all these competing visions of the character outrage has erupted.
Most recently, CBS has come under fire from the BBC for allegedly copying the show "Sherlock". Additionally, the faceless masses of the Internet are criticizing CBS' decision to cast Lucy Liu, an Asian-American woman, as Holmes' sidekick, Watson.
Now, I won't touch on the legality of the CBS adaptation, except to say that while it certainly seems like CBS got the idea from the BBC, it's hard to call it a "rip-off" since the character is in public domain and has remained relatively unchanged over the past century. The second controversy, the one over Lucy Liu, however, does bother me.
Even ignoring arguments about gender roles and the lack of women on TV, what bothers me most about the complaints against Liu is that they suggest that CBS is somehow betraying the essence of Watson. Let me be clear: Watson is one of the most underdeveloped characters to ever become a household name.
Do you know what Watson does in the Sherlock Holmes stories? Almost nothing for. The only thing he's really good for is to compliment Sherlock Holmes and propose wildly inaccurate theories at crime scenes. He's boring and slow and lifeless and famous.
For reasons utterly beyond my comprehension, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose to take the fun and interesting Sherlock Holmes and force readers to experience him through the exceedingly dull Watson. I read "The Hound of the Baskervilles" earlier this year
Fredrik Maket

and enjoyed it up until Sherlock left halfway through the story and I was forced to watch Watson stumble his way around the moor.
I really feel that anyone who's upset with Lucy Liu playing Watson cannot have possibly read the original stories or else they would know that the only way it betrays the character is that it adds a personality.
Maybe I'm biased, though. I tend to like any given adaptation of the Sherlock stories more than I like the stories themselves. Spurred by a love of detective fiction and a desire to read the story where Moriarty shows up and kills Sherlock (after which, Doyle revived him), I read the first three novels and twenty-five short stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon and at no point enjoyed myself.
After reading a series of poorlyplotted and unexciting mysteries, I came to the conclusion that Sherlock Holmes' legacy is not due to Doyle's decidedly limited writing ability, but to the ease and talent with which Holmes is adapted for each new generation. Because each writer is able to take the basics of Holmes and mold it to his or her own vision, the detective is able to stay alive much longer than his fellow fictional detectives.
Given CBS' track record, the new Sherlock show probably won't be good, but at least we'll know the good detective will always survive. And even if he doesn't, we'll always have "The Great Mouse Detective."

FINAL FOUR EXPERIENCE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Students enjoy special trip to New Orleans
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
KANSAS
NEW ORLEANS — As University students poured out of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Saturday night, rock chalk chants and high-fives to strangers filled the streets. The game was painful for all fans to watch at times, but for the students who made the 14-hour trip, the journey was more rewarding.
Kansas students cheer before the game against Ohio State at the Meredes-Benz Superdome. Kansas won against Ohio State 64-62.
Thousands of students from all four teams lined up in a parking garage, where they waited until 2:00 p.m. for floor seats.
Alex Arteaga, a freshman from Naperville, Ill., made the trip with four other students, and sat, stood and slept on the cement floors of the garage from 3 a.m. Saturday until the doors opened.
"We're first in line, so of course it's worth it," Arteaga said. "I would say it is uncomfortable, and it makes for a long day, but just knowing what we're here for makes things easier."
MacKenzie Splan, a freshman from Chicago, Ill., was one of the 350 students who sat on the floor during the game.
FROM THE GAME
"Even though we were so close, we ended up watching a lot of it on the screen," Splan said. "But, being on the floor, obviously the
atmosphere is the best you can get.
The energy was out of control."
Other fans cheered from the sixth floor of the stadium where the Jayhawks had a designated spot.
TRAIVS YOUNG/KANSAN
Stephen Blumhardt, a 2011 alumnus from Overland Park, attended the Final Four in 2008.
THE COST OF THE EXPERIENCE
"I bought my ticket from a scalper today," Blumhardt said. "It kind of sucks being so far up. Last time I got to be with all the students, and now I am kind of disconnected, but I will see them all on Bourbon tonight."
Ninety-seven percent of all hotel rooms were reserved in New Orleans Saturday night, pushing some students on the outskirts.
"We stayed like 30 minutes or so outside of town," Arteaga said. "Our hotel isn't in the best part of town, but it is cheap and it is better than sleeping on mats on the cement floor."
Arteague estimated his cost to go to both games was about $150.
Splan and her boyfriend stayed with friends in Mandeville, La., about 45 minutes away, and said the biggest cost to her was missing class.
"Our teachers weren't exactly excited when we told them we were coming," Splan said. "Having to miss class isn't a good thing, but it's totally worth it. This will only happen once, and I don't know who wouldn't want to be
apart of it."
TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The student gate opens at 4 p.m. for tonight's game and all students will be seated on the floor, but that guarantee alone isn't enough.
"We haven't set an exact time yet, but we are going fairly early for sure," Splan said. "I know it's unlikely I'll get to do this again, so I want to make sure it's worth it."
For Arteaga and his group, the goal is to be the first in the
building one more time.
"We really want the best seats so we're getting there at midnight." Arteaga said. "I'd never even considered going to a championship before and I am sure it'll be unlike anything ever
before. I will probably be telling the story for years."

NEW ORLEANS, La. — The Big Easy is no stranger to large crowds, whether people are in town for Mardi Gras or sporting championships.
New Orleans Police officer Ross Bourgeois, who is part of the special events section, said with all their experience, officers were ready for all the Final Four fans.
"It is very taxing, but we seem to do it pretty well," Bourgeois said.
George Guthrie, a Kansas fan from Overland Park, flew in last Wednesday for the game, and he said Bourbon Street in New Orleans reminded him of a road in Lawrence.
"It's like a thousand blocks of Mass Street," he said. "It just goes and goes and goes — one party after another."
Back in Lawrence, Lawrence Police Department Sergeant Trent McKinley said in a press release that glass bottles and cans wouldn't be allowed on Mass
street saturday night, but police wouldn't be enforcing open container laws as harshly as usual as long as alcohol was kept in plastic cups.
Bourgeois said New Orleans Police officers take a similar stances
small infractions," he said. "We don't focus a lot of energy on small infractions until it becomes a point where it becomes a public safety issue, so our tolerance alon open containers and other alcohol-related infractions so they can make sure no bigger crimes fall through the cracks.
"The police department is very tolerant - probably the most tolerant police department for small infractions."
ROSS BOURGEOIS New Orleans Police officer
"The police department is very tolerant — probably the most tolerant police department for
lows us to focus on keeping the public safe."
Bourgeois said up to 660 officers are stationed in and around Bourbon Street and the French Quarter on any given night, but during big events like the Final Four. even more
officers will come from other districts in the city to help with crowd control. And no matter what happens, the New Orleans Police Department will be ready.
"We plan for, and we anticipate all manner of things, from
demonstrations to civil unrest," Bourgeois said. "We've got contingency plans for all that, much like we do contingency plans for the weather, or contingency plans for hurricane season."

While Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little acknowledged the atmosphere surrounding the basketball team playing in the national championship, she maintains her decision that classes will not be cancelled tomorrow if the team wins tonight.

Win or lose, classes to be held tomorrow
Gray-Little's announcement last week that school will resume Tuesday no matter the success of the team drew theire of students, many of whom took to Twitter and Facebook to voice their displeasure with her decision.
"Our classes will be in session," Capilouto said. "It will be business as usual."
In response to the petition, Gray-Little said, "I appreciate the enthusiasm of some of our students, but Ku'l's first duty as a university is to encourage excellence in the classroom. We're all thrilled that the Jayhawks are playing for the national championship, and we should win, I'm confident students will celebrate safely."
In reaction to Gray-Little's email, students created a petition through gopeetition.com asking her to reconsider the decision. The petition has gained more than 700 signatures as of Sunday afternoon.
University of Kentucky President Eli Capilotto issued a video statement to Kentucky fans on March 30 stating that the Lexington campus will run regularly on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON — A major donor to President Barack Obama has been accused of defrauding a businessman and impersonating a bank official, creating new headaches for Obama's reelection campaign as it deals with the questionable history of another top supporter.
Obama is the only presidential contender this year who released his list of "bundlers," the financiers who raise campaign money by soliciting high-dollar contributions from friends and associates. But that disclosure has not come without snags; his campaign returned $200,000 last month to Carlos and Alberto Cardona, the brothers of a Mexican fugitive wanted on federal drug charges.

ADMINISTRATION
Vice Provost candidate meets with students
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Vice Provost for Student Affairs candidate George McClellan answered questions about what he would do if he got a vice provost job during a public forum Friday afternoon.
Students have the opportunity to talk to all three candidates since whoever gets the position will serve as an advocate for students and coordinate programs and services for the student body.
"I'm a higher-ed geek and more importantly I'm a student affairs geek," McClellan said while introducing himself
before taking
questions.
He said he views the job as a chance to help and encourage students through the academic process

and aims to challenge, support and celebrate students.
"I'm a hand shaker and a hugger and a whooper and a hollerer," McCellan said of his love of celebrating student achievement.
Felix Zacharias, a graduate student from Wichita, asked several questions about McClellan's view of the role of the vice provost in establishing rules for students and limiting students' rights.
McClellan said that he had worked to change the student code at his current university to give the administration the power to suspend a student who causes substantial
harm to another student, but he would respect the judgement of the student government in such cases.
Libby Johnson, student senate president, asked how McClellan thought the position would shift and what the biggest changes would be over the next five years.
McClellan responded by explaining the biggest issues facing higher education, which include the affordability and accessibility of college, high school students enrolled in college courses and promoting economic and social justice through
universities.
"I believe we can use higher education as a tool, as a resource, and the brilliance of all of you, to create a world in which economic development and economic justice are harmonious notions," McCellan said.
Zacharias was a fan of McClellan's after hearing his sincere and humorous answers.
"If he can be the same person he was in that interview while in the position he wishes to fill at KU, I think we are going to have a fantastic vice provost for KU," Zacharias
said.
The two other candidates for the Vice Provost for Student Affairs will also talk to students in public forums this week. Beth Hellwig will be available today from 1:30-2:30 p.m. in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union and Tammara Durham will speak with students in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Friday, April 6.

Police investigating family as possible members of deadly cult
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NACOZARI, Mexico — It was a family people took pity on, one the government and church helped with free food, used clothes, and farm animals. The men were known as trash pickers. Some of the women were suspected of prostitution.
Mexican prosecutors are investigating the poor family living in shacks outside a small town near the U.S. border as alleged members of a cult that sacrificed two 10-year-old boys and a 55-year-old woman to Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, a figure adored mostly by outlaws but whose popularity is growing across Mexico and among Hispanics in the United States.
blood was spread on a Santa Muerte altar. Their bodies were then buried near the shacks where the alleged cult members lived.
The killings have shocked the copper mining village of Nacozari, on the edge of the Sierra Madre, and may be the first ritual sacrifices linked to the popular saint condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. Known as "faquita," or "the skinny one," the figure known as Saint Death is portrayed as a skeleton wearing a hooded robe and holding a scythe, much like the Grim Reaper.
Authorities say the throats and the wrists of the victims were cut with knives and axes, and their
"We never knew they were part of a Santa Murte cult," said Jorge Sanchez Castillo, a 54-year hotel owner who has a corn field next to the house of the woman believed to lead the group. "This has been a tragic thing for all of us."
Jose Larrinaga, spokesman for the Sonora Attorney General's Office, said 44-year-old Silvia Meraz was the cult leader, and seven people related to her, were detained: her boyfriend Eduardo Sanchez, father, son, three daughters and a daughter-in-law. No formal charges have been filed pending further investigation.
Nacozari has been spared the grisly violence of drug cartels fighting for lucrative corridors along the U.S.-Mexico border, said police chief Jose Miguel Espinoza.
"They thought that by offering the blood, they would be protected for some time." Larrinaga said. "According to them, Santa Muerte was going to tell them where the money was. They all identify themselves as fanatic followers of Santa Muerte."
never seen such violence," he said.
When a 10-year-old boy went missing in July 2010, his mother and her boyfriend told police that acquaintances had seen him begging in the streets of nearby Agua Prieta across the border from Douglas, Arizona, and that they would go find him, said Espinoza.
"It was a peaceful town. We'd
SACRED HEART
A second 10-year-old boy went missing in early March, prompting Sonora state's missing persons unit to send agents to Nacozari, said the police chief. That boy's mother and her boyfriend reported it to state authorities, who discovered weeks later that the two boys knew people in common.
"We had no reason to suspect it was a homicide" he said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The missing boy Martin Rios was the son of the ex-girlfriend of the suspect Eduardo Sanchez. The second boy, Jesus Martinez, was the step-grandson of alleged cult leader Meraz.
The police chief said both boys would often visit Meraz's home in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of the town of 11,500.
Espinoza said his officers suspected the house was being used for prostitution after seeing different men from out of town visiting, but never gathered enough evidence to
arrest anvone.
Agents on Wednesday unearthed the body of the boy Jesus Martinez buried in the dirt floor in the bedroom of one of the Meraz daughters. They then began arresting the family members, who led them to what agents believe are the remains of the other boy, as well as the grave of 55-year-old Cleotilde Romero, a close friend of Meraz who disappeared in 2009.
Before last week, there have only been unconfirmed reports of human sacrifices related to the figure in Mexico in recent years, said R. Andrew Chesnut, chairman of Catholic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and author of the book "Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint."
Chesnut said the 2007 shooting deaths of three men appeared to be related to Santa Murte because the bodies were abandoned at a shrine to the figure outside the border city of Nuevo Laredo. But they showed no signs of being sacrificial killings.
He said that although most Santa Muerte devotees consider killing a "Satanic aberration of devotion," and that books about the Santa Muerte don't mention human sacrifice, some followers are extreme.
A man carries two statues of the folk saint Santa Muerte, or Death Saint in Mexico City on In October 1, 2009. Mexican prosecutors are investigating a family outside a small town near the U.S. border as alleged members of a cult who sacrificed three people to the Saint Death, a figure adored mostly by outlaws but whose popularity is growing across Mexico and among Hispanics in the United States. The first of the three victims was apparently killed in 2009, the second in 2010 and the latest in March 2012.
"With no clerical authority to stop them, some practitioners engage in aberrant and even abhorrent rituals," Chesnut said.
Police paraded the eight people arrested in the case of the cult killings into the prosecutor's offices in the state capital of Hermosillo on Friday to allow journalists to view and question them, a typical practice in Mexico.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Students volunteer at more than 20 sites in town
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
The men's basketball game wasn't the only big event on Saturday. Earlier in the day, almost 2,000 students volunteered across Lawrence as part of the University's Big Event, a day of giving back to the community.
Groups of students were assigned to one of more than 20 different job sites at Lawrence schools, businesses, churches and residences. Jobs lasted from 9 a.m. to noon or from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Members of Delta Gamma worked to prepare a garden area at Stepping Stones Childcare Center, where kids can plant vegetables. Members also cleared brush and weeds and painted footprints near the playground to show the children where to line up to go inside.
Abbey Buchanan, a freshman in Delta Gamma from Chaska, Minn., said she was excited to find out their work would benefit kids.
"They're going to be so excited when they come back to school on
Monday," Buchanan said
From the crimson and blue decorations in the classrooms and the school bus windows marked with "Go KUI." Buchanan could tell the kids were big fans of the University and said it felt good to show the kids the University supports them.
Lori MacDonald, a preschool teacher at Stepping Stones, said that parents usually help prepare the garden in the spring, but this year it has been harder to get parents to volunteer.
"Having the KU students here is great," MacDonald said. "They're fun, and they're really hard workers."
At Free State High School, students from the Mount Oread Scholars program planted trees, prepared a community garden, and built a pathway to make the garden more accessible.
Graham Naasz, a freshman from Overland Park, said when he heard about an opportunity to serve his new community earlier this year, he wanted to give back.
here is helping out in a big way' Naasz said.
"I really think what we're doing
The Big Event also benefited the volunteers, Taylor Kady, a freshman from Dirby, said volunteering at the Big Event helped her get to know other students and curb the stereotype that college students are selfish.
"College kids are always stereotyped as only wanting to do something for them," said Kady. "I think it's really cool to come out here and get up early on a Saturday morning and sacrifice your time to help others."
Dan Bjornson, a junior from Overland Park and the executive director of the Big Event, said that several volunteer groups dropped out last week because of the conflict with the basketball game, but he still considers the event a success.
"There's a great feeling that you get from pulling off something like that and making a difference in someone's day," Biornson said.

Campaign treasurer to face 14 years in prison for fraud
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California campaign treasurer pleaded guilty Friday to defrauding at least $7 million from a high-profile roster of politicians in the largest embezzlement case of its kind.
But the resolution of the criminal case is expected to do little to help victims recover money they lost in the scheme that the U.S. attorney said highlights the shortage of regulations governing campaign finance managers.
Kinde Durkee entered the pleas to five counts of mail fraud in U.S. District Court in Sacramento. The crimes could have carried a
maximum penalty of 100 years, but her plea deals calls for a possible sentence of 11 to 14 years. Durke's attorney said he will argue for a shorter term.
who pleaded guilty to operating the largest Ponizi scheme in history.
Prosecutors say Durkee, 59, ran a complex shell game from her Burbank office in which she shifted millions of dollars between bank accounts for politicians, community groups, personal accounts and those of her business, Durkee & Associates.
Durkee's scheme relied on the trust of her victims, who included U.S. Dianne Feinstein, who has said she lost $4.5 million, along with members of Congress and state lawmakers.
U. S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner believes the actual fraud was closer to $10 million, and called Durkee "the Bernie Madoff of campaign treasurers," referring to the infamous New York financial manager
"People would provide and trust her with money based on that trust, and that's certainly something that she took advantage of," Wagner said.
The deception has left numerous candidates with little or no money in their campaign accounts, which have been frozen since Durkee's arrest.

Newberry planned on taking pictures and video of the crowd for Kiss FM, a Lawrence radio station. Since fans were rocking his car, He refused to travel far from it and didn't have the chance to celebrate in the bars.
"I planned on getting insanely drunk and have failed miserably," Newberry said. "My car wasn't flipped over or set on fire so I can't complain much."
The Lawrence police department closed Massachusetts Street when the game ended and re-opened it before 6 a.m. on
Sundav.
Jay Solbach, a Lawrence resident, wasn't concerned when he learned that the street had been shut down. He said he had a good time celebrating and reviving up his 1986 Chevy pick-up truck.
"It's loud, makes people get in the mood and it pumps them up," Solbach said.

Across town at Saints Pub and Patio, 2329 Iowa St., General Manager Travis Leroux said that Saints was at capacity for the whole game, but as soon it was over, most people left for downtown.
Stephanie Kusek, a junior from Chesterfield, Mo., said she watched the game a few blocks from Massachusetts Street at a house on Kentucky Street.
"As soon as we won, everyone jumped up and started running downtown," Kusek said.
Unlike excited University of Kentucky fans, who, according to the Associated Press, burned couches and turned over cars in Lexington Ky., Lawrence fans celebrated with limited incidents.
Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman said the Saturday night shift commander told him crowd control after the game went smoothly. Bordman said Lawrence police made three arrests for battery and disorderly conduct. He said he was not on duty that night, but had not heard of any significant reports of property damage when interviewed.

Abortion rates in Kansas down in last five years
TOPEKA, Kan. — Fewer abortions were performed in Kansas in 2011, marking the fifth consecutive year the numbers have dropped.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reports that about
7,800 abortions in Kansas were reported by doctors, or 6.2 percent less than the nearly 8,400 abortions performed in 2010.
The figure for last year also is 30 percent lower than the nearly 11,300 abortions performed in 2006.
Abortion opponents attribute the decline to anti-abortion laws enacted
last year and suggest women are responding to information about pregnancy.
A prominent abortion rights advocate told The Kansas City Star that the laws are forcing women to obtain abortions outside Kansas.

COMMENTARY
Kansas ready for rematch
How quickly do people forget that Kansas is a two seed in the NCAA Tournament? How quickly do they forget that Kansas has a unanimous first team All-American big man, along with a third team All-American senior point guard? How quickly do they forget that this team has been counted out before?
Forty minutes separate Kansas and Kentucky from glory. The contrast between the two basketball titans is sharp.
"On paper, their record is better, on paper their stats look better," Tyshawn tails said of Kentucky. "But it's only forty minutes and none of that matters anymore. There's forty minutes left."
The Wildcats have this bad boy attitude about them. Even though they don't run their mouths during the games and, they're robotic in their motions. They say they don't overlook anyone, but they carry a certain superior attitude with them.

And then there's the Jayhawks.
Edited by Tanvi Nimkar
On Monday, the two best teams in the country will fight for a championship. If Kansas can take that fight to the final round, the final few minutes, they'll be the team celebrating.
"Their best five have to play against our best five. I think we're right in the ball game. We're right there," Taylor said.
Kansas has been hit hard and hit often. They've felt the sting of the most painful losses. And they've been able to dig deeper than they thought possible to make sure they never feel that pain again.
This Final Four week has been filled with talk from the media that Kansas was never supposed to get to New Orleans. After Kansas beat Ohio State Saturday night, national stories read that the Kentucky Wildcats will end the Jayhawks' magic ride.
"That's the only thing that would concern me personally," Jones said.
Kansas knows Kentucky has more talent than them. Bill Self said it himself. But like Taylor said, in those 40 minutes, anything can happen. Nobody knows that better than Kansas. Nobody.
NEW ORLEANS - I don't believe that this Kansas team is the almighty underdog of this NCAA Tournament. I don't believe that this Kansas team shouldn't be here. And I don't believe that this Kansas team isn't good enough to beat Kentucky.
And then there's the lajwahys.
They smile. They show their personality. They do it while they're playing and when they're being interviewed. They're honest and they know the odds are against them, but that doesn't keep them from believing.
When Kentucky forward Terrence Jones was asked if he had any concerns about Kansas, his response was no. He said Kansas likes to drive and post up, which could get Kentucky in foul trouble.

But coach Bill Self isn't buying it.
NEW ORLEANS — Here we are again. The Kentucky Wildcats and coach John Calipari again. The Kansas Jayhakws are the underdogs if you ask every non-Kansas fan in the country and their mother again.
"I've never known a game to be played on paper," he said.
November in New York City was a glitzy nonconference test. April in the Big Easy is for a national championship.
Calipari, the face under slicked-back hair that operates the one-and-done machine,
made a statement the day before Monday night's title game against Kansas.
"Every game we play," he said,
"it's someone's Super Bowl."
The Wildcats — bigger than fried chicken even in their state — have been ranked No.1 for the majority of the season. They boast a slew of freshman superstars; most notably forward Anthony Davis, the unibrowed player of the year who routinely rejects jump shots and upset bids from his opposition. There's also forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the freak athlete who makes everyone around him play their best. Sophomore guard Doron Lamb can heat up from deep and sophomore forward Terrence Jones, for
all his mental errors, possesses a premier array of skills. All are advised by senior Darius Miller, the calm, soft-spoken guard who has a knack for making teams pay for leaving him open.
Self said that all the praise for Kentucky is just. But he believes his team, one that has grown into itself, has its own positives. Assistant coach Barry Hinson doesn't believe in Calipari's Super Bowl statement. Not with this school.
"Let's get one thing straight, we're Kansas," Hinson said. "We know we're underdogs, but hey, we're Kansas. We're coming to play. There are no David and Goliath speeches going on right now."
It's this confidence, which
resonates throughout the team, that has meshed so smoothly with Kansas' trust in one another. Past all the hurdles of Missouri, Baylor, Purdue, North Carolina and the rest, the Jayhawks know their accomplishments and what it takes to compete against the nation's best teams.
"I don't think we got here by wings," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "I don't think we flew here."
All that's left is one game. The Jayhawks don't view the game as finding a way to defeat the almighty beast that is Kentucky. They're not daunted by network projections or highlight reels from November.
"None of that matters any
more," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "There's 40 minutes left."
Kentucky vs. Kansas; blue bloods in the truest form. Young, skilled acrobats vs. tough, developed upperclassmen; two distinctly different routes to reach the final game.
And now it's here — 40 minutes to crown a champion.
"The appreciation of this moment will come weeks, months and years from now," Hinson said. "These moments, the pictures that they get to see, the newspaper articles, they'll be able to relish this with their grandchildren."

Roots lead back to Lawrence
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS- Bill Self's start in coaching is probably well known by now. A guard on the Oklahoma State basketball team, he worked at a Kansas basketball camp one summer led by then-coach Larry Brown. He suffered an injury in a counselor's scrimmage and feeling bad, Brown told Self to ask him if he ever needed anything.
Self wanted to coach, and there was an opening on Brown's staff. A young coach by the name of John Vincent Calipari just left to become an assistant at Pittsburgh.
A few years prior, Kansas coach Ted Owens offered Calipari the chance to volunteer with the team. He lived with an assistant coach, served food to campers at lahwack-
er Towers and survived on those meals after the campers had made their rounds. He even met his wife at Kansas and says he has great memories of Lawrence.
Self methodically climbed up the college coaching ladder while Calipari sandwiched a stint in the NBA between head coaching jobs at mid-majors. He recruited well at Memphis and has gotten even better at Kentucky. Self called him the best salesman in the sport.
Both coaches can trace their humble beginnings back to 1651 Naismith Drive, but the roads taken since then have seemed so different.
Now their paths cross in the National Championship again, fours years after one of the greatest championship games of all time.
"I said after they beat us in 2008.
He hasn't seen the tape of that game, though. Its shattered remains were left on the side of the road after being hurled out of the Memphis bus on the way to the San Antonio airport. Self, on the other hand, once watched the game 50 straight days while working out.
if there was going to be any coach or school that was going to beat us in that venue," Calipari said Sunday. "I would have said, let it be Kansas."
Four seasons later, Calipari's Wildcats are the best team in the land. Self leads a squad that wasn't supposed to be playing in April this season and Kentucky is favored by more than a few buckets.
"If we play like we did last night in the first hall," Self said Sunday of his semifinal victory over Ohio State. "It probably won't be a good
The Jayhawks have lived on the edge the last month with a rotation of seven upperclassmen.
Kentucky has dominated college basketball since November with some of the best underclassmen in years. Some have thought they could compete with an NBA team and the Kentucky players said they believed they were this good since the beginning of the season.
deal for us."
Self and Calipari's roads from Lawrence to New Orleans were anything but similar. But here they are, two completely different storylines playing out at the two winningest schools of all time.
"I think it's going to be special," Self said. "The bluest of blue bloods."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

A: Four.
THE MORNING BREW Enjoying the Kansas semi-final victory
M perspective on the Kansas Jayhawks' remarkable run to the NCAA National Championship is unique.
Championship is unique.
I was incredibly fortunate to cover some Jayhawks' games this season, most notably their game at Madison Square Garden in New York City and their first two weekends of the NCAA Tournament in Omaha and St. Louis.
By C.J. Matson
cmatson@kansan.com
1 was also incredibly fortunate to attend exhilarating Jayhawks' games as a student, including the epic Border Showdown game at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 25,which is publicly regarded as the greatest game in Allen Fieldhouse history.
With that being said, I knew that watching the games and celebrating in Lawrence would be a blast.
A friend of mine was kind enough to invite me to watch the Final Four games at his house on Kentucky Street.
When I watched the Ohio State-Kansas game, I paced back and fourth in front of the TV and took deep, heavy breaths
during timeout breaks because I was a nervous wreck. Moments throughout the game occurred when I dug my head deep into the palms of my hands. The tension in the house was immeasurable, and my heart was trembling faster than the Millennium Falcon's hyper drive speed.
My anxiety quickly turned to ecstasy when Kansas beat Ohio State 64-62 and advanced to the National Championship game. I hugged my friend and high-fived other people jovially at my friend's house. Once we finished our hugs and high fives, we did something that I was
not fortunate enough to do after the Jayhawks' win over the North Carolina Tar Heels. Storm Massachusetts Street.
Storming Mass. Street was a surreal experience that I will cherish forever. I had never experienced anything similar to the mass exodus to downtown Lawrence in my life. I, along with the rest of my fellow Jayhawks, ran like a wild antelope out of control. Very few college students across the country can truly experience running around and screaming out of their lungs in sheer joy with my arms stretch out in public, but that's exactly what I did.
As I gathered with fellow Jayhawks in the epicenter of downtown Lawrence, I deliriously hugged and high-fived all friends I encountered as well as strangers that I'll probably never know or see again. Everybody was everyone's best friend. Naturally, I took videos and photos from my iPhone so I can look back at something when I want to recount this special moment.
KU
I stayed in downtown Lawrence for
more than two and a half hours walking up and down Mass. Street because I did not want the night to end.
Few things in my life can top a Kansas NCAA National Championship victory during my senior year at the University. Don't think for one moment that I would want to miss out on chanting "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU" with thousands of Jayhawk students and fans, hearing the Kansas marching band play the school fight songs and sharing this one-of-a-kind experience with friends and strangers on Mass, Street after a Jayhawks victory.

Kansas wins its first conference series against Texas Tech
Pitching and hitting finally work together in harmony against Red Raiders
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
For weeks Kansas baseball players and coaches have said how close they were to putting everything together and becoming a successful baseball team.
After snapping a five-game losing streak and earning its first Big 12 win Saturday against Texas Tech 5-2, Kansas put it all together again Sunday afternoon, beating Tech 9-3.
Kansas won its first conference series since beating Missouri two games to 1 in Columbia, Mo., April of last year.
The Jayhawks (12-15, 2-4) came out swinging, scoring five runs in the first two innings, three in the first and two in the second. Perhaps, the most important thing to the ball club, four of those five runs came with two outs. They would add another two-out RBI in the fourth inning.
"We needed to win a series," coach Ritch Price said. "After we got off the snide yesterday and picked up the victory, we needed
to find a way at home to win a series. I'm hoping it's something we can build off of and go forward from here."
All season long, if the pitchers pitched exceptionally the offense was nowhere to be found. If the offense started putting runs on the board, the pitching would surrender.
der more. The Jayhawks hardly
ever seemed to have both their defense and offense working together until this weekend.
"Maybe this team got over the hump this weekend finally."
Entering this weekend, the lvahawks had
scored four or more runs nine times in March. They lost six of those games. In games where pitching gave up less than four runs, the Jayhawks are 2-2.
Kansas scored all of its nine runs in the first four innings, and junior starting pitcher Thomas Taylor (3-3, 4.12 ERA) gave the team six straight scoreless innings before being tagged for two runs in the seventh.
"We wanted to bury them pretty early," Taylor said. "I think it would have been a little bit of a game if they gave a couple runs a little earlier than they did."
Taylor threw 6.2 innings while allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six in the afternoon.
Taylor struggled in the first
RITCH PRICE
Coach
two innings, falling behind hitters, but would find his way out of the inning. He said he was too lethargic with his delivery, and began speeding
it up in the third inning.
The adjustment worked. Taylor began retiring hitters earlier in counts. He recorded five of his six strikeouts after the second inning.
Senior designated hitter Chris Manship led the Jayhawks. He went 3-for-5 on the day with three RBIs and two runs. He also crushed a double into left-center field in the first inning to drive in
the game's first run.
"When you're getting hits with two strikes and two outs and scoring runs, it kind of sends a message to the other team as well," Manship said. "It kind of puts them down a little bit and brings out morale up."
Red-shirt junior second baseman Jordan Dreiling scored two runs. Senior catcher James Stanfield got on base three times and scored three runs. Senior third baseman Zac Elgie hit a two-run, two-out double off of the left field wall in the bottom of the first.
Price said he hopes that he's seeing his young team turn a corner this season. He said it all starts with starting pitching, but the clutch hits need to keep falling.
"Maybe this team got over the hump this weekend finally;" Price said.

Impressive hitting falls short
ALEC TILSON alectilson@kansan.com
The first two games of the series were rough. Kansas fell victim to a perfect game on Friday night and recorded two hits on Saturday in consecutive 8-0 defeats against No. 7 Oklahoma.
Sophomore infielder Ashley Newman slides over homeplate for the homerun. Kansas won 12-0 in 5 innings.
But, Kansas (23-10, 2-7) returned Sunday with nine hits and two runs on the Sooners' (30-4, 6-1) All-American and Team USA pitcher junior Keilani Ricketts (17-4). Ricketts also threw Friday's perfect game.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
The Jayhawks threw the initial punch on Sunday, taking their first lead of the series in the top of the second inning.
"Today was big for us," coach Megan Smith said of Sunday's performance. "Offensively we can produce against top pitching in the conference, we just have to focus on ourselves."
Oklahoma and its high-powered lineup didn't take long to get back in the game. It answered in the bottom half of the inning with six runs and never looked back.
Freshman catcher Lexi Bryant doubled after a leadoff single by senior outfielder Liz Kocon. Then, after two Kansas outs, freshman infielder Chanin Naudin doubled to left center, knocking in two runs and giving Kansas a 2-0 lead.
Naudin said Sunday's game showed some of the adjustments Kansas hitters were able to make after seeing Ricketts once before.
"The coaches challenged us," Naudin said. "They told us not to worry about the scoreboard and
just stay locked in. They wanted us to be loud and energetic and I though we were all energized today."
Oklahoma's pitching staff, led
by Kirsten and junior Michelle Gascoigne (12-0), leads the conference with a 0.72 team ERA. In 214 innings pitched, Oklahoma a pitching has allowed just 22

Smith said that regardless of being swept, Kansas still came away a better team.
Of course, the road doesn't get any easier in the Big 12 as Kansas will face No. 17 Baylor in Waco, Texas in its next series this weekend.
"I thought they showed a lot of mental toughness and resiliency," Smith said. "We improved each game; that's a big positive going into next week."

DENVER — Skylar Diggins scored 19 points, Brittany Mallory hit two big 3-pointers in overtime and Notre Dame beat Connecticut 83-75 on Sunday night to reach the national championship game for the second straight year.
The Huskies went up 70-67 on Bria Hartley's 3-pointer to open the first overtate at the women's Final four since 2006, but Mallory hit back-to-back 3s and Notre Dame closed with a 16-5 run.
The game was tied at 67 after regulation following an 8-2 run by UConn, which was led by Stefanie Dolson's 20 points.
The Fighting Irish (35-3) also beat the Huskies (33-5) in the semifinals last year, before losing to Texas A&M in the title game in Indianapolis.
The Irish will face either Stanford or Baylor for the title.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Travis Releford, junior forward
Known for his defense, Releford had one of the biggest baskets of the season to end the first half. After Jeff Withey blocked a shot in the closing seconds, Tyshawn Taylor raced up the near sideline and found Releford darting to the hoop. He laid it in with less than a second to spare and it ended up being the difference in the two-point Kansas victory.
Relefora
GAME TO FORGET
Connor Teahan, senior guard
His shooting woes continued Saturday night against the Buckeyes. Teahan was 1-of-5 from the field and just 1-of-4 from beyond the three-point line in 17 minutes of work. He hasn't shot above 33 percent from the three-point line since Feb. 27 against Oklahoma State when he went 2-for-5.
PETER MURRAY
QUOTE OF THE GAME

NEW ORLEANS - If fans were asked which player broke a Final Four blocked shots record on Saturday night in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, most would have probably answered Kentucky's National Player of the Year and shot-blocking machine Anthony Davis.
It was junior center Jeff Withey, whose seven blocks in the 64-62 victory over Ohio State broke his coach and former layhawk Danny Manning's previous record of six from 1988. Withey was dominant early and often, swatting three Jarred Sullinger shots less than
Most fans would be wrong.
three minutes into the game.
While the Sullinger and Thomas Robinson showdown received most of the hype leading up to Saturday, Withey was the one guarding Sullinger, not Robinson. Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas' ability to thrive on the perimeter would have been a much more difficult matchup for Withey, so any hopes of slowing down Sullinger rested firmly on his shoulders.
"Big fella here," Bill Self said after the game, motioning to Withey. "I thought he played as good of low post defense on a great player as he could."
A First Team All-American, Sullinger averaged 17.6 points per game this season and averaged 20 points in the three tournament
games leading up to Saturday night.
It's the 11th time this season Withey recorded at least five blocks in a game and he's been on a tear as of late, averaging 5.3 blocks since the Big 12 Tournament semifinal loss to Bavior on March 9.
"He was just playing hard," Sullinger said of Withey. "Seemed like he stepped up his defensive intensity."
He walked off the court with just 13 points on 5-of-19 shooting.
As aggressive as Withey has been, he's been able to stay out of foul trouble most of the season. He's picked up four fouls just once since Feb. 8. Withey credits his volleyball background for his ability to perfectly time shots to send away.
"My teammates definitely look at me and see me as a protector," Withey said after the game. "They know if they get beat, I'm there."
He was there a lot Saturday night against the Buckeyes — more often than any other player in Final Four history. Self said he isn't sure if there's another player in the country that alters shots better than Withey does, even if Davis actually blocks more.
Self and everyone else will see that statement put to the test against Kentucky Monday night.
"Anthony Davis is the best shot blocker in the country," Self said. "But I think Jeff is probably second best."

Jayhawks not worried about being underdogs
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS — There's this funny blueprint the Jayhawks follow that probably shouldn't work.
It starts by missing everything. If it's a Kansas shot going up, it's probably not going to drop. Up next is the opposition heating up. If it's one of their shots, it's probably bound to fall. Then the layhawks trail. They seemingly always do.
But soon after, they start to buckle down. They take care of the ball. They score just enough points and get the stops they need. Finally, they win. They probably shouldn't, but they do. They always find a way.
"In't that weird?" senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
The blueprint was in full effect on Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes, so naturally Kansas abided by the steps and won 64-62.
“This has aged me a lot,” coach Bill Self said. “But I say this with sincerity: I've never had more fun coaching a group of kids. They drive me nuts, but they try so hard. They're stubborn and that's one of their greatest strengths.”
Kansas fans have seen this blueprint before in narrow victories against Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse and Purdue in Omaha, Neb., to name just a couple. And with this version of Kansas, this less talented but highly cohesive team, the blueprint just works.
"I'm still shocked," junior forward Thomas Robinson said about the team's last-second winning style. "I wish it stops
Against the Buckeyes, the blueprint went something like this. The Jayhawks shot 36.7 percent from the field in the first half, while the Buckeyes shot 46.2 percent. The Jayhawks, Self said, were slow and tight, perhaps wrapped up in the pressure of a Final Four game.
"We were playing in quick-sand." Self said.
But just as the blueprint goes, everything started to change. In the final seconds of the first half, Robinson corralled one of junior center Jeff Withey's seven blocks and passed to Taylor who quickly dribbled up the court. Junior guard Travis Releford dropped his head and sprinted as fast as he could. Taylor zipped a pass to Releford who converted a layup in the final second of the half.
Out of the break, the Jayhawkes started to click. In the first five minutes of the second half, they started to attack the hoop like Self had pleaded and ended up with three layups and a dunk.
The Jayhawks led for just 3:40 of this game, and one of those times occurred with 27 seconds to go. Withey stepped into the meat of Ohio State's defense, embraced contact and thought he had a foul and the basket. Instead he was called for a travel.
"When you see you're down double digits, it kind of takes the soul out of you a little bit," Taylor said. "But once you cut it to like nine or eight, you feel like you're back in the ball game."
With Kansas up 64-61 and six seconds remaining, Taylor overheard Buckeyes guard Aaron Craft tell his teammate William Buford
to run for it. Taylor used this as an excuse to ease the pressure on Craft and follow Buford. Taylor then intercepted Craft's pass and saw junior guard Elijah Johnson running toward the hoop on the other side of the court. Taylor skipped a pass that widely missed Johnson, but bounced right to Self. That could have ended the game. Instead, it gave the Buckeyes another life.
"It was like third-and-long and throw it out of bounds. Throw it away," Self said. "He wasn't even close to the receiver."
After the turnover, Self directed Releford to foul Craft; an atypical strategy considering Kansas' history in similar situations. Craft made the first free throw, but was called for a lane violation on the second attempt.
From there, the Jayhawks
simply had to inbound the ball They did and it was finally over. Now the Jayhawks, after another successful use of the blueprint, find themselves in Monday's national championship game.
"I came this far," Taylor said. "Might as well go home with a ship."
Robinson sees Kentucky, the same team that manhandled Kansas in New York City earlier this season, as an ideal opponent for the final game of the season—the game that crowns the NCAA's finest.
MLB
"It can't be scripted any better," Robinson said. "We're right back where we started."

Kansas City drops 6-4 loss against Seattle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEORIA, Ariz. — Back from Japan, the Seattle Mariners needed a few innings on the field to brush off the jetlag and snap out of their slumber.
The Mariners split two mid-week games against Oakland in Japan, and their regulars hadn't played since Thursday. Given two days to get readjusted back in the United States, players nevertheless acknowledged they were still a bit sluggish.
Miguel Olivo and Kyle Seager hit consecutive home runs during a six-run sixth inning and Seattle rallied past the Kansas City Royals 6-4 Sunday in its first game since opening the regular season at Tokyo Dome.
Munenori Kawasaki had three hits for the Mariners, who used six projected starters. He had two hits in the sixth inning alone.
Olivo's three-run homer tied it at 4. Seager, batting .357, followed with his fourth home run of the spring.
"I did some work this offseason to try to use my hips and my shoulders a little bit more." Seager said. "It's just spring training and everything, but it feels good to be able to drive the ball a little more."
Two walks later, Kawasaki singled in a run for his second hit of the inning.
"In that inning, we all woke up and we started to hit," Olivo said, adding that it felt like early morning to him. "You know, we were still feeling like we were on Japanese time. I think by (Monday) it'll pass, hopefully."
Mike Moustakas homered and hit a two-run double for the Royals, who played their projected opening day lineup. Bruce Chen struck out six and walked one while allowing three hits in four shutout innings, his final-tune up before starting the season opener Friday against the Los Angeles Angels.
"Bruce was dialed in. He just kind of real quickly got to midseason form." Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "Using his fastball, changing speeds, keeping the ball down. Another good outing. He's ready."
Four earned runs were charged to Royals reliever Tim Collins, who got only two outs. Alcides Escobar had three hits for Kansas City and Jeff Francoeur added two.
Seattle's Blake Beavan made his last start of spring training and is next scheduled to pitch April 10 in Texas in his regular-season debut. He allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings.
The Mariners set their starting rotation for the first full week of games, with Jason Vargas going Friday in Oakland, followed by ace Felix Hernandez on Saturday. Hector Noesi pitches April 9 in Texas and Kevin Millwood on April 11.
Vargas starts again April 12 and Hernandez gets the ball April 13 for Seattle's home opener.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Joke between Releford and Young helps Jayhawks late
Young likes to shoot around 20 to 30 free throws before the game so he feels comfortable enough to shoot them in the action. And every time he does this, Releford asks to get a couple of shots in. Young will deny Releford, saying he wants a few more shots of his own.
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS — Before Saturday night's game, junior guard Travis Releford pulled the same joke on freshman forward Kevin Young that he has every game this season. Only this time, the joke turned into reality. This time, the joke helped send Kansas to the national championship game.
Then, the joke comes.
Releford tells Young that he doesn't need to shoot a million free throws before the game. That he shouldn't overthink his free throws. Two free throws to get the feel, and he's good.
"He'll just say, 'hey, all you need is two,' Young said. "All you need is two. Watch, get out of the way' I'll move out the way and he shoots two. And then he's ready to go."
There was a strange dynamic of Ohio State fans screaming, hoping to keep their slipping lead, and Kansas fans silently awaiting the free throws, stunned their team was even in the game.
And Releford got to put his
The first of his two visits to the free throw line came with two minutes and 48 seconds left in the game. Kansas was one point shy of a share of the lead for the first time since the clock read 18:06 in the first half.
words of advice to use Saturday, as he made four pressure-filled free throws that helped Kansas beat Ohio State 64-62.
The pressure was on, but instead of overthinking the free throws, he shot them just as he would in practice. He had the "feel," just as he told Young.
But then Kansas lost its lead, until a whistle put Re联邦 on the free throw line once again. Just like last time, Kansas was trailing by one and needed the two freebies from Re联邦.
Yet he did not stress. He delivered.
Releford gave the Jayhawks a 60-59 lead that they never let go of.
"My whole thought process was just take my time, relax and knock these free throws down," Releford said. "And that's what I did."
The first shot dropped. Tie game. 55-55. The second followed. Kansas took the lead, 56-55.
It was Releford who was the unexpected hero during Saturday's game. He made four pressure-filled free throws when the Jayhawks needed them most. He guarded Ohio State stud William Buford for the entire game while scoring 15 points of his own.
Sure, Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson will get most of the attention for the rest of the week, but they'd be getting that attention back home in Lawrence if it wasn't for Releford.
"We obviously wouldn't have been close to winning the game without him tonight," senior guard Conner Teahan said. "He was more aggressive than I've seen him in a long time."
As for Releford, while he may not have admitted it, he knew the stakes when he stepped up to the line late Saturday night. They were no joke.
"I can't remember any bigger shots that I've made," Releford said.

'Tough love' relationship strengthens Jones
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — There's more to Terrence Jones than "The Rant."
Most fans assumed the talented forward was off to the NBA after Kentucky coach John Calipari's withering, 30-second tirade filled with cringe-inducing expletives was caught by cameras in a game last season.
Calipari apologized publicly, Jones stayed and the bond between the two is so tight now the sophomore calls his coach a "father figure."

"He's been tough on me since I first got here. It's just because he expects a lot from me. I know he loves me. I know how good he thinks I am, how much he believes in me." Jones said.
"When he doesn't see how he thinks I can perform, he tells me. He's a male father figure to me.
"So it's tough love sometimes. Sometimes it's good love. I take it all in the same way. I don't care how he says it; I just listen to what he's saying."
The episode toughened Jones, who has dealt with more criticism this year from fans for periods of poor play and a finger injury that cost him two games. Jones said he could have left last year after Kentucky lost to Connecticut in the Final Four.
Kentucky's Terrence Jones speaks during a news conference for the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball game as teammates Anthony Davis, left, and Doron Lamb, right, look on Sunday, April 1, in New Orleans. Kentucky plays Kansas in the championship game tonight
"I didn't want to leave losing," he said. "I wanted to win a national championship"
He's got that chance now.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kentucky (37-2) faces Kansas (32-6) on Monday in the national championship in New Orleans, but Jones will need to play a bigger role that he did in the national semifinals.
In Kentucky's 69-61 win over Louisville, Jones was hardly noticeable in the first half and finished with six points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes. Calipari sought out Jones repeatedly to howl at his play — including once when Jones attempted a weak layup.
Callpari mimicked Jones' effort and yelled: "Dunk it on him! Dunk it on him!"
Is Calipari ever wrong?
"I've been playing for him for two years, and I know when I'm explaining what I thought, if he tells me he's right, he's right," Jones said.
"After he watches tape sometimes," Jones said. "But not at the moment, no."
Calipari pretended that he didn't know about the January 2011 incident when he was asked about it Sunday. During a loss at Alabama, Calipari called Jones "selfish" amid a string of expletives as Jones turns and walks away.
"He knows how I feel about him. He's like a son to me," Calipari said. "This kid, what he's doing, what he done, how far he's come. I'm just proud of him. I mean, he more focused, he got a better skill set."
Jones shrugged off the encounter that defined their first year together: "If you saw it, I just walked down the court and kept playing. I didn't think it was anything wrong with it."
Teammate Doron Lamb said fones appears to bear more than his share of the coach's frustration.
"He's tough on everybody, but he's pretty tough on Terrence," Lamb said. "He wants Terrence to be the best he can be. He expects a lot of Terrence."
Jones wanted that pressure when he returned to Lexington for his sophomore season after averaging 15.7 points and 8.8 rebounds as a freshman.
"If I was ready for the draft, I would've gone," Jones said. "I was OK with where I was in the draft. It wasn't low."
Calipari challenged him early on to be one of the best players in the country and lead Calipari's newest recruiting class that included Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague.
"When he came in and told me, 'I'm coming back', I said, 'OK, but you're going to have to work your butt off because this is not going to be easy', Calipari said. "He says, 'It's what I need.'"
When Jones played his worst game of the season on Dec. 10 against Indiana with four points and six turnovers in a one-point loss, Calipari said, "he absolutely gave us zero."
And Calpari has been especially hard on him at times.
Jones dislocated his left pinky finger on his shooting hand in the next game, then missed two more. He hasn't had many poor performances since and can't afford to have one against the Jayhawks with so much at stake.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Baylor one victory away from NCAA title and perfect season
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — One win from perfection.
Brittney Griner was constantly hounded and double-teamed, scoring only one basket in the second half Sunday night. So the Baylor supporting cast jumped in and carried the unbeaten Lady Bears to the national championship game.
Griner finished with 13 points and nine rebounds to lead Bayton to a 59-47 win over Stanford and into the women's NCAA final against Notre Dame.
"We're not the Brittney Griner show," Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey said. "Brittney Griner is the face of women's basketball, and she deserves to be, but this team is bigger than Brittney. She will tell you that. Brittney Griner double- and triple-teamed allows other players on her team to have opportunities."
Baylor (39-0) is one victory from becoming the seventh women's team to finish undefeated and has a chance at being the first squad in NCAA history to win 40 games in a season.
The top-seeded Lady Bears will face another No. 1 seed and a familiar foe Tuesday night for the title. The Irish beat UConn 83-75 in an overtime thriller in the first semifinal.
Baylor and Notre Dame met in the preseason WNIT final, with the Lady Bears winning in Waco 94-81 on Nov. 17.
"It's going to be a good game," Griner said. "We beat them earlier in the season, but we've got to erase that. This is the game everybody wants."
The Cardinal refused to let the 6-foot-8 Griner beat them, collapsing on her in the paint. The strategy worked for the first 20 minutes before the other Lady Bears started making shots.
Stanford (35-2) fell short in the Final Four for the fifth straight season, ending its school-record 32-game winning streak.
And those players took advantage of them.
Trailing 31-29 early in the second half, the Lady Bears went on an 11-1 run keyed by Jordan Madden. The junior guard had an acrobatic three-point play and then a layup that made it 40-32. Griner followed with her only basket of the half, hitting a tough baseline turnaround that capped the burst.
The Cardinal could only get within six the rest of the game despite Nnemkadi Ogwumike's best efforts. The senior led the Cardinal with 22 points and nine rebounds. Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer took her out with about 30 seconds left and gave her a long embrace.
"No one feels good after a loss, especially if its in the Final Four," Ogwumike said.
SOCCER
Kansas remains perfect after 4-1 home victory
Kansas also defeated South Dakota State in the fall season with a 2-1 home victory.
Saturday's victory helped Kansas remain undefeated in the spring with a 3-0 record.
Facing a familiar foe that had already been vanquished in the fall, the Kansas soccer took down South Dakota State Jack Rabbits 4-1 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Saturday.
Sophomore forward Caroline Kastor got into the mix when she knocked in her fifth goal of the spring off a nice pass from junior Sarah Robbins.
Berry struck first on a penalty kick in the first half to give Kansas a 1-0 advantage heading into halftime.
Kansas' spring season continues when the team travels to Iowa City, Iowa for a pair of games on Sunday, April 15. The Jayhawks will face host Iowa and Minnesota on that day.
Like many games last fall, junior midfielder Whitney Berry led the charge for the Jayhawks with two goals and an assist to help them stomp the Jack Rabbit.
Ryan McCarthy
Berry ended the scoring on the afternoon with a 25-yard strike that put the game out of reach for the jackrabbits.
Women's relay team shines in Texas Relays
TRACK AND FIELD
The Kansas track and field teams produced some encouraging results in both the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays and the Arkansas Spring Invitational.
The women's relay runners set a new school record in the 4200-meter relay and entered a top five all-time University mark in the distance medley relay. In Arkansas, it was the throwers that came away with top finishes for the Jayhawks. Senior Alena Krechyk took first in the hammer throw while junior Mason Finley continued his recovery from an injury that kept him out for all of the indoor season.
It appeared as if the night would be
a disappointment for Krechyk after fouling on the first of three hammer throw attempts. On her final throw, under the pressure of fouling yet again, she launched the best throw of the competition.
Finley set his best mark of the day in both the discus and shot-put with his first throws.
Freshman spinner Alisha Keys was excited to get back to the outdoor track, which she has more experience on and feels more comfortable with than the indoor tracks. She helped the Jaywhak run from a time of 1:34.74 in the 4x200 along with teammates junior Paris Daniels, Taylor
At the end of the day, those throws would hold up as the event winners.
The women's distance medley relay team ran its way to fifth place at the Texas Relays. For senior runner Shayla Wilson, it is the indoor track on which she feels more comfortable, and the flat outdoor track that she is still getting familiar with. It seems that yesterday was a step in the right direction. Along with teammates seniors Rebeka Stowe and Cori Christensen and sophomore Maddy Rich, the relay team ran a time of 11:33.06, the third-fastest time recorded in the event at the University.

A season that started out 7-0 for the Kansas women's tennis team is back to .500 with three matches remaining.
The Jayhawks have lost to all six of their Big 12 opponents so far in 2012, the latest coming the road at No. 13 Texas and No. 16 Texas A&M over the weekend. Both defeats came in a decisive fashion, as Kansas lost 7-0 to the Longhorns and 6-1 to the Aggies, respectively.
"I just feel we have got to be mentally stronger," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "That's probably the difference right now: the mental toughness."
The only players who won a match against Texas were junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Dylan Windom—the No. 1 doubles duo took down the No.
34-ranked tandem of Lina Padegimaite and Noel Scott 8-2.
The team, which had already lost the No. 2 doubles match at that point, went on to drop the No. 3 doubles match, 8-6, and all six singles matches. Maria Belen Luduena played the most competitive match at No. 3 singles, a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Texas' Cierra Gaytan-Leach.
Windom was the only victorious Jayhawk in the 6-1 loss to Texas A&M. Windom defeated Laura Santacroce, 6-3, 6-0, at the No. 4 singles spot. The top three Aggie singles players are currently ranked in the top 150 of women's Division I tennis nationally, the best of which being No. 7 Cristina Sanchez-Quntanar. Sanchez-Quintanar defeated Pezzotti, 6-0, 6-2, in the No. 1 singles match.
"We're playing hard," Hall-Holt said. "We're right there and
hopefully, eventually it's going to go our way."
Kansas now only has three conference matches remaining before returning to College Station, Texas. for Big 12 Championships from April 26-29. The Jayhawks will take the next 10 days off before traveling to play rival Missouri for the last time in regular season conference play on April 13.
The last two conference matches of the season will be on the road at Iowa State (the Big 12's only other unranked team) on April 15 and Kansas State on April 21.
"Our goal is to win them, of course, and for everybody to just fight hard," Windom said. "Coaches are happy with a hard-fought match and you learn from your losses."

OLYMPIC QUALIFYING
UNICACAP COINC
Honduras qualified for its second straight Olympics by beating EI Salvador 3-2 in overtime. The teams combined for three goals in the extra periods.
Honduras takes down El Salvador in overtime
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Second-half substitute Gerson Rodas scored twice in a goal-filled overtime, giving Honduras a 3-2 victory over El Salvador on Saturday in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.
Honduras earns its second straight Olympic berth and third since 2000. El Salvador, the surprise Group A winner, has not qualified since 1968.
Sanchez — another substitute — equalized in the 106th when he snapped home a header from just right of the penalty spot on a cross from Xavier Garcia.
"There were a lot of doubters in our country," Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez said. "Our own fans were nervous and didn't really trust that we could accomplish the goal. This is something to be very proud of."
Rodas scored in the 101st minute to put Honduras up 2-1, but Edwin
That set the stage for Rodas' game-winner in the 115th, when he ran onto D.C. United midfielder Andy Najar's cross from the right corner and headed it inside the left post.
Antony Lozano scored in the first minute for Honduras, but Milton Molina equalized in the 77th for El Salvador.
"I am proud of my guys and what they put into it," El Salvador coach Mauricio Alfaro said. "They are a top level team, it's a tough loss, but I am proud of my guys."

Chicago qualifies for playoffs once again
Setoguchi had a goal and two assists in regulation, then sealed the victory in the third round of the shootout with a quick shot that beat Ray Emery.
CHICAGO — Devin Setoguchi and Erik Christensen scored in a shootout to help the Minnesota Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Sunday night for their third straight victory.
Patrick Kane had the lone Chicago goal in the shootout against Josh Harding.
Kane scored his second goal in regulation, during a power play with 2.45 left in the third period, to tie it at 4. Alone in the slot, Kane converted a feed from rookie Andrew Shaw after Patrick Sharp forced Minnesota defenseman Tom Gilbert to turn over the puck.
Although the Blackhawks dropped their final home game of the regular season, they already had clinched a playoff spot with a 5-4 victory Saturday night in Nashville and can finish no lower than sixth in the Western Conference. They finished 27-8-6 at the United Center.
Dany Heatley, Kyle Brodziak and defenseman Clayton Stoner also scored Minnesota, which won in a shootout for the second straight night. Sharp and Viktor Stalberg scored for Chicago, which has lost only twice in regulation in its last 16 games (11-2-3).
Chicago is in the postseason for the fourth straight season after missing the playoffs in nine of 10 previous years.
But Stoner pinched in and scored on a rebound of Setoguchi's jam-in attempt 20 seconds later to put Minnesota back in front, 3-2. Then Brodziak added his 22nd goal, sweeping in a rebound while tumbling to the ice, 41 seconds later to make it 4-2. Kane cut it to 4-3 on a shot from the right circle at 8:20.
Stalberg slipped past the Minnesota defense, took a feed from Brent Seabrook, cut to the net and tied it at 2 at 5:28 of the second.
Heatley's tap-in power-play goal, capping a neat cross-cice passing play with Mikko Koivu and Setoguchi, put Minnesota ahead 2-1 just over 3 minutes later.
Setoguchi opened the scoring at 10:11 of the first on a breakaway after taking Heatley's long feed. Crawford made a pad save on Setoguchi's first shot, but the puck trickled underneath him, and Setoguchi stopped and slammed it in.
Associated Press
Sharp tie it 34 seconds later. He connected from the slot after taking a centering pass from defenseman Nick Leddy, who had carried the puck in all the way down right wing.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks (32-6) are making their third national championship appearance in 10 years and ninth overall. Kansas has trailed at halftime in three of its five tournament games, but has outscored opponents by a combined 42 points in the second half. Whether it's an Elijah Johnson three-pointer, a Travis Releford steal, a jeff Withey block or free throws from Tyshawn Taylor, the Jayhawks have shown an uncanny knack for making tough plays in crunch time.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Thomas Robinson, Junior guard
Kansas'
improbable
run to the title
game would
not be possible
without its unanimous
first-team all-
American. Robinson has averaged 17 points and 12 boards in the tournament. In Monday's title game, however, he faces the most dominant front court in the country. Kentucky's 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis, 6-foot-9 Terrence Jones and 6-foot-8 Darius Miller will force Robinson to earn every point.
Robinson
Will the Kansas learn from its early-season loss to Kentucky?
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
QUESTION MARK
Kentucky defeated Kansas, 75-65, on Nov. 15 in New York City. The Wildcats' 26-9 second half run exposed the Jayhawks' matchup problems. Davis shut down Robinson with his length and Kentucky's guards created turnovers that led to several uncontested dunks. After the Ohio State game, Self said his team had to take away Kentucky's transition offense, second shots and lobs, all of which were on display in the first meeting.
"Anthony Davis is the best shot-blocker in the country, but I think Jeff is probably second best."
—Kansas coach Bill Self
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks continue to show the heart of a champion and outtough the Wildcats en route to a nail-biting national title.

PETER KING
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
The senior guard's gutsy second-half performances in the last two games encapsulate the very nature of this Jayhawk team. Taylor had six assists in the final 20 minutes against Ohio State and hit two free throws to clinch the win. Though his offensive numbers in the tournament haven't been great (0-20 from 3-point range, 37 percent shooting). Taylor remains the orchestrator of Kansas' run to the championship.
ELIJAH JOHNSON. FORWARD
★★★★
Johnson's rapid improvement continued Saturday. He played just 11 second-half minutes because of foul trouble, but had a huge role in the Jayhawks' comeback. His coast-tocoast drive and acrobatic layup with 1:08 left, giving Kansas a 62-59 lead, was arguably the best play of the game. Johnson also snagged a game-high 10 rebounds and hit six of nine shots. His speed and length should help Kansas contain Kentucky's tall, athletic guards.
★★★☆
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Without Releford, Kansas would not have defeated Ohio State. The Kansas City, Mo. native had 15 points, eight boards and two steals. His layup at the end of the first half was a subtle, yet crucial, momentum changer, and his four free throws late in the game gave Kansas its first lead since 2-0. Releford's reward for a stellar semifinal performance? Defending 6-foot-7 Kentucky guard Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
★★★★☆
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
Robinson solidified his place above Jared Sullinger in the NBA Draft, scoring 19 points and getting Ohio State's forwards in foul trouble. Robinson's energy and passion—more noticeable on Saturday night—have fueled Kansas all season long. For Kansas to upset Kentucky and win their fourth NCAA championship, Robinson must continue to play with fire in his eyes. If anyone's up to the challenge, it's Kansas' hulking All-American.
★★★★
Withey scored just 4 points Saturday, but his defense yet again influenced the game significantly. His seven blocks disrupted an Ohio State offense that shot just 24 percent in the second half. Withey also held Sullinger to 5-of-19 shooting, which should give him confidence going into Monday's matchup with AP National Player of the Year Anthony Davis. Withey has a height advantage, but Davis holds the edge in every other category.

MARQUIS TEAGUE, GUARD
SAM KOVZAN
editor@kansan.com
Prior to March, Kentucky's most visible weakness was Teague's point-guard play. Since then, he has scored double figures six times and facilitated a hot Kentucky offense (84 points per game in the tournament). In the first meeting against Kansas, Teague committed six first-half turnovers, four fouls and let Tyshawn Taylor score 23 points. A repeat performance could derail Kentucky's dominant season.
Teague
★★★☆
DORON LAMB, GUARD
The 6-foot-4 sophomore is Kentucky's second leading scorer (13.5 points per game) and a lethal three-point shooter (46.5 percent). Lamb is playing in his second straight Final Four and boasts plenty of big-game experience. He is shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc in the tournament, but can also slash to the basket and draw fouls. Physically, he is very similar to Kansas' Elijah Johnson, which should make for an intriguing matchup.
MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST,
GUARD/FORWARD
★★★★★
Kidd-Gilchrist is a match up nightmare for just about every team Kentucky faces. At 6-foot-7 and 232 pounds, the freshman can drag larger defenders out to the perimeter or use his strength around the rim to overpower smaller defenders. He shoots nearly 50 percent from the field and grabs 8 rebounds per game. His long strides, athleticism and finishing ability make him one of the best transition players in college basketball.
★★★★★
TERRENCE JONES. FORWARD
Kidd-Gilchrist
PETER CURRY
After shining brightly in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Jones could have been a first round pick in last year's draft. The 6-foot-9, 252-pound sophomore adds muscle and power Kentucky's frontcourt. Combined with Anthony Davis's length and athleticism, it makes the Wildcats interior defense suffocating. Jones' battle for rebounds with Thomas Robinson could resemble a heavyweight boxing match.
★★★★
KANSAS
15
ANTHONY DAVIS, FORWARD
Barring injury, Davis will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. If he isn't altering shots with his 7-foot-5 wingspan, he's flushing alley-oops and drawing double-teams. In the first game against Kansas at Madison Square Garden, Davis scored 14 points (with four dunks) and blocked seven shots. But if anyone matches up well with the player of the year, it's Jeff Withey. Expect Davis to be challenged by Kansas' big men.

Davis
Kentucky (37-2) may be one of the best all-time college basketball teams. Forward Anthony Davis and wing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could be the first two picks in this summer's NBA Draft, while forward Terrence Jones and guards Doron Lamb and Marquis Teague can all leave early. The Wildcats lead the nation in scoring margin at 17 points plus per game. Head coach John Calipari, who guided Memphis to the 2008 title game, gets a shot at revenge against Bill Self.

PLAYER TO WATCH
AT A GLANCE
Anthony Davis, freshman forward
Davis
10
Davis is just the second freshman in the history of college basketball to win the National Player of the Year award. He shoots 64 percent from the field, averages 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4.6 blocks (first in the nation). His defensive dominance is unlike anything seen in college basketball during the last decade. His ability to alter shots without fouling makes it extremely tough for opponents to score inside.
Will the Wildcats feel the pressure?
Kentucky has been the consensus pick to win it all since December. Despite starting three freshmen and two sophomores, the Wildcats have looked like a veteran team in their stroll to the championship. But will those great expectations finally phase the underclassmen? Quite frankly, it's win or bust for Calipari's team. Ask any Kentucky fan, and those 37 wins and dozens of blowouts will mean nothing if it fails to knock off Kansas.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE.
"We deal with pressure every day. It's just part of being at Kentucky. The things that people say about us . . . we try not to hear it. We just focus on treating every game the same."

Withey blocks Buckeyes' shot at title game

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
The Kansas Jayhawks weren't supposed to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes and throughout most of the game, that looked to be true. At one point they were losing by 13 in the first half and went into the half trailing by nine. But then, just like every other game during this tournament, the Jayhawks flipped a switch. The defensive intensity appeared and caused problems for the Buckeyes. Shots started falling and the Buckeyes' lead began to diminish. Despite having 17 turnovers, the Jayhawks found a way to persevere and claim victory once more. They out-rebounded the Buckees 41-30. The Jayhawks appear to be on a mission, and despite not getting everything out of Taylor and Robinson for much of the game, they find a way to win. They have continued to prove all the experts wrong and now find themselves in the national championship game against the Kentucky Wildcats. That's a statement that outside of the Kansas faithful, no one believed. Now they have one more game, a chance to be champions.

Senior guard Conner Teahan
GRADE: D
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
Teahan's struggles with shooting continued against the Buckeyes. He went just 1-of-5 for three points. He did have two assists and a rebound. Teahan needs to find a way to get in a rhythm against Kentucky on Monday. He's shooting just 24 percent from the field and 21 percent from three in the tournament.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson
Grade: A+
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Johnson has been the Jayhawks' best player throughout the entire tournament and on Saturday night, he continued his strong form. He scored 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting despite being bothered with foul trouble. Johnson notched his first double-double of his career. Johnson has been terrific, hitting big shots when the Jayhawks needed them the most.
Junior center Jeff Withey
GRADE: A+
Everybody talks about how Kentucky's freshman Anthony Davis blocks shots, but Withey, accomplished something Davis will never be able to do. He had seven blocks and those seven blocks were the most ever recorded during a Final Four game, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Withey also aggravated Ohio State's star forward, Jared Sullinger throughout the entire game, causing Sullinger to flop more times than soccer players and couldn't get off any good shots. Withey caused him to play away from the basket and held him to 5-of-19 shooting. Withey also grabbed eight rebounds and a steal. Withey scored just four points on 2-of-4 shooting, but he denied at least 14 Ohio State points, and that's not including altering other shots that went array.

Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor

Junior forward Travis Releford GRADE: A+
Taylor's struggles continued against the Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday Night. He's yet to hit a three-point shot, going 0-for-3 in the game and 0-for-20 in the tournament. He had some crucial turnovers throughout the game — one in the final 10 seconds — but thankfully for him and the Jayhawks, the Buckeyes couldn't capitalize on all of them. But with the bad, comes the good with Taylor. He did score 10 points on 3-for-11 scoring, but he had nine assists and was solid on the defensive side of the ball.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
As good as Johnson was, Releford was even better. His strengths have always been on defense, but Saturday — and really throughout the tournament — has stepped up on the offensive side of the court. He scored 15 points on 5-of-7 scoring and went 4-of-4 from the stripe. Releford hit two free throws with 2:48 to play that gave KU a 56-55 lead, its first lead since the score was 2-0. He came up with big buckets all night and was a pest on defense. He grabbed six rebounds and recorded two steals.

Junior forward Thomas Robinson
GRADE: B+
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
If you would've turned the game on during the first half, you would have seen Robinson struggling. He was trying too hard to get shots and forcing things up. But in the second half, it was a completely different Robinson. He scored 11 of his team-high 19 points in the second half. He was more vicious going to the hoop and wouldn't let the Buckeyes deny him at the rim. The Jayhawks would like him to be more efficient from the field — he shot just 44 percent from the field. He also grabbed eight rebounds, with three of those on the offensive glass.
Junior forward Kevin Young
GRADE: B

Young's energy is undeniable. He comes off the bench and is just a spark with hustle on every play. His high-octane motor causes him to get in foul trouble, but he is able to keep plays alive more times than not. Out of his five rebounds, four were on the offensive side of the ball. He failed to score, but his energy and relentlessness is what Kansas needs coming off the bench.

Editor's Note
One of the best things about my apartment complex is the quiet atmosphere. Of course, there is
the occasional party but it never gets out of hand. I love my peace and quite. Unfortunately, my silent community has been taken away from me.
The apartment above mine has been vacant since Christmas break. The people who lived there previously were very quiet people and kept to themselves. About three weeks ago two new people moved in to the empty apartment.
10
The first weekend they were there they threw a party. I didn't mind that they threw a party at all but the noise until 6 a.m. was not pleasant. I shrugged it off because this is a college town and people party.
They now have a new addition to their apartment, a little puppy. This puppy is left in the apartment all alone in the afternoon. The puppy loves to yip and bark. I've named it yippy.
When living in an apartment one must remember that they are in close quarters. Not only do you have next door neighbors but you also have neighbors who live below you and above you.
By Kayla Banzet
kbanzet@kansan.com
Be aware of how much noise you make.
Many apartment complexes have quite
hours. If you like to stay up late your neighbors may not be the same way so keep your noise level to a miniium late at night.
No one expects a person to live in complete silence but walls are pretty thin in apartment complexes and not everyone can tolerate noise. If you are a noisy person your neighbors may become your new enemies. They may even call the managers of the apartment complex and file a noise complaint.
Don't forget your roommates either. If they like quite time make sure to respect their requests. Respecting your neighbors and roommates can be a positive thing.

Young's energy is undeniable. He offs the bench and is just a spark with hustle on every play. His high-octane motor causes him to get in foul trouble, but he is able to keep plays alive more times than not. Out of his five rebounds, four were on the offensive side of the ball. He failed to score, but his energy and relentlessness is what Kansas needs coming off the bench.

Students give advice on how to liven up a space
EELY GRIMM

ELLY GRIMM
For some students, decorating comes naturally. Posters, reused furniture and other accessories are what a lot of students use to liven up a space. Personal decorations are also important to students.
"I've got lots of KU stuff and religious crosses around my place," added Megan Skillett, a junior from Shawnee.
Popular stores where students purchase decor include T.J. Maxx, Target, Walmart and Goodwill. The University's semi-annual poster sale is also popular.
FOOTBALL
"I've gotten stuff from the poster sale and especially Walmart or Target during the holiday season," said Rachel Lampton, a junior from Wichita.
To get decor for their new place, students also recycle items from their room back in their home town or even pieces they've made themselves.
"I actually did most of our artwork but I've also gotten a lot of stuff from the poster sale at the Union," said Sara Pyle, a junior from Overland Park. "There are a lot of art projects and collages you can make yourself. There are also a lot of ways to put stuff up in an interesting way."
Pyle suggests displaying a book collection alongside knick-knack items.
"Vinyl is also cool to put on the wall," she said.

FAMILY
Campus siblings decide whether to be roommates
Kevin Conrad
Larry Conrad
Most siblings live together their entire childhood. Deciding to live together in college is a huge decision.
STELLA LIANG
TYLER BEIRWIRTH/KANSAN
sliang@kansan.com
Getting to know your roommate is a long and sometimes difficult process, but some students forego that and choose to room with their siblings while at college; others aren't so sure about the familial set up.
Desiree Hernandez, a senior from Shawnee, said that she never discussed this issue with her brother, freshman Jose Hernandez.
"I'm almost four years older than he is," Hernandez said. "I think we deserve our own private lives, and it's best not to step on each other's toes."
Some siblings consider the option more strongly and come to the same conclusion.
"I live in Ellsworth hall while my brother lives in an apartment a couple miles away," said Adam Kaplan, a freshman from Wichita. "Well, he is three years older than me, and my dad and him discussed living in his apartment would be a bad introduction to college."
One of the main reasons siblings decide to live separately is that they want to be more independent and live their own lives. Also, the age difference for both these pairs played a role.
"He's just at a point where he wants to experience everything, and I'm more like I've been there done that!" Hernandez said.
Some siblings who do not have to worry about an age difference also decide to not become roommates. Twins Alex and Ashley Bindley, freshmen from Topeka, decided before the school year that they would try living with other people.
"I decided 18 years was enough," Alex said. "I should try living without her."
Her sister shared the same feelings and wanted to try living with someone else so she could meet other people.
"I want to live with someone who wasn't my sister," Ashley said. "I want to live with someone new"
After they made this decision, their grandma wanted them to change their minds.
"Grandma thought we were making a mistake," Ashley said. "She thought we would miss each other. At first she tried to convince us not to do it, then she stopped."
After living this year separately and branching out, they have decided to become roommates next year at Jayhawker Towers.
"It was a nice change to not live together the first year, but now going into more academic classes with more class work and credit hours, it's nice to have somebody who understands." Alex said.
Their parents have been supportive of their decisions.
"They would prefer we were together so it
would be easier when they visited," Bindley said.
Kaplan's parents also agreed that their children needed to have their own separate lives.
"I believe my parents do not have a preference because they would like my brother and I to live our own separate lives," Kaplan said.
Regardless of whether or not siblings decide to become roommates, family ties are hard to be broken.
"I would probably point out that the only way for one to enjoy college is to be an individual, and go to your family members when you would need them," Kaplan said. "But hang out with them, do not stray away, because we are best friends with our family."

RECIPE
Puppy Chow: Quick, simple snack recipe
ANNA WENNER
awenner@kansan.com
Entertaining friends can be a lot of work especially when snacks are involved. If you want to find a snack that tastes as good as it looks and is easy to make, look no further. Puppy Chow is the snack for you.
I first discovered Puppy Chow when I was in kindergarten. It was served during one of our class parties, and I refused to eat it initially because, as I told my teacher, "I wasn't allowed to eat dog food." The teacher laughed and explained that Puppy Chow is not actually food for dogs. I asked her what it was, and instead of explaining, she got a bag and showed me. Sitting in a clear plastic bag was the best looking snack that I had ever seen.
When I hit middle school I realized that I could make the snack that I loved so much, so I began searching the Internet for a recipe. I eventually found one I liked and decided to try it out—it was awesome, but not yet perfect. Since then, my friends and I have tweaked the recipe until we found the optimum level of simplicity, ease and taste. This recipe is especially good for small spaces like apartments because it uses up almost all of the ingredients, needs only a microwave, a bowl, and a few zip-lock bags and takes no
previous cooking knowledge to make.
While making it, it's important to not sweat the small stuff. The measurements do not have to be exact for it to turn out well, and substitutions can be made. Experiment for yourself and find the method that works best for you.
STEPS
To begin, gather the materials that you will need:
1. 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2. 1 stick (or %) of butter
1 18 oz. jar of peanut butter
1 12 oz. box of Kellogg's Crispix cereal (non-name brands are usually called "crispy rice cereal")
4 cups of powdered sugar (1 small bag will have plenty)
a large, microwavable bowl, and either a large mixing bowl or two 2 gallon zip lock bags
Next, put the stick of butter, 1.5 cups of peanut butter (this will be almost all of the peanut butter in the jar, minus about a $ \frac{1}{4} $ cup. If you want a heavier peanut butter taste to your snack, you can put it all in), and the entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the microwave bowl. Put the bowl in the
microwave for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients are melted. Stir the ingredients at least once (it can be during the micwaving or after) to make sure everything is mixed together.
From here you have two options:
In the first option, you can take a large mixing bowl and pour the cereal and the melted mixture into the bowl, stirring them together until the cereal is fully covered. You can then add the powdered sugar and stir until all of the cereal is covered. This option will not result in a particularly attractive batch of puppy chow, but it is sometimes easier if you are making it by yourself and tastes just as good. If you want to use bowls but still want it to turn out white, you can use a new bowl when adding the powdered sugar.
Alternatively, you can pour the cereal and melted mixture into a 2 gallon plastic bag, close the bag, and shake it until the cereal is covered. Be careful to shake the bag gently, so you don't split the sides. You can then pour the cereal from one bag to the other and add powdered sugar to the second bag. Shake the bag until all the cereal is covered. This generally gives you the most attractive looking puppy chow, and is ideal when making snacks for a special occasion.
Edited by Katie James
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
1 bag semi-chocolate chips (12 oz.)
- 1 stick butter (or margarine but butter is best) (or 1/2 cup)

- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 12 oz. box of Kellogg's Crispix cereal
- 1 microwavable bowl
- 1 to 2 large mixing bowls (or 2
    2-gallon zip-lock bags)
- 1 mixing utensil (a normal spoon or spatula can work)
- 1 cup measuring cup

someone here with plenty of experience in what customers are looking for," Schmille said. "If we don't have it we can usually give them the advice on where to go to get what they need."
Paul Heimbach, a sales associate at Home Depot, said a hole in the wall is a common issue that customers ask about. Heimbach said a
simple repair patch is usually all it takes.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Repair patch- available in 4x4 in, 6x6 in, and 8x8 in. Prices range from $4 to $5 at Home Depot
- All Purpose Joint Compound-
about $4
- Putty Knife- about $3
- Small can of paint- about $10
- Edited by Max Lush
- Paint brush- about $2
WHAT TO DO:
- Peel the back off of the patch and apply over hole.
- Cover the patch with a thin layer of joint compound using a putty knife.
- Let the putty sit for 24 hours and then apply a second layer covering a larger area of the wall.
- Add a third and final layer of putty after the second layer has dried.
- Using sand paper, sand the wall down until it is smooth.
- Finish the job off with a new coat of paint.

His high-octane motor causes him to get in foul trouble, but he is able to keep plays alive more times than not. Out of his five rebounds, four were on the offensive side of the ball. He failed to score, but his energy and relentlessness is what Kansas needs coming off the bench.

HOUSEKEEPING
Tips for making 'spring cleaning' easy
Music, good company and extra cash can help
DYLAN SNYDER
dsnyder@kansan.com
Open the shades and get out the broom, spring is here and it's been said that this is the season for cleaning. But where should one begin? Here are a few simple tips to make your chores easier.
FOCUS
I know that the couch in the living room looks inviting and you have seven different places you can be right now, but don't fall to temptation. The quicker you finish cleaning, the happier you will be. That's not to say you shouldn't pace yourself. Take a break between washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom to grab a snack and give yourself a pat on the back!
TURN UP THE MUSIC
If there is one thing that can help pass the time while you clean, it's music. Pick your favorite song or your favorite radio station and crank it up. Better yet, have a musical friend drop by to play a private show.
ENLIST
If you're a persuasive person then you know by now that you can make just about any job twice as easy. All you have to do is convince someone to help you out. If you know of anyone else who plans on Spring cleaning, make a mutual agreement to help one another. If you're the only one you know who dares to dust the dirt, call a couple of your friends, make plans for later in the evening and tell them to come over early. Pick up a pizza or two as compensation for coaxing them in and then your conscious can rest easy while you ask them to help you out by doing little things, such as taking out the trash.
PROFIT
You have probably heard this so many times that your face is starting to turn green, but don't forget it. There are several eco-friendly cleaning products on the market today, give them a shot instead of using chemicals harmful to the environment. Take all of your empty cans, glass bottles and old newspapers, this one included, to one of the many recycling drop-off centers around town. If you don't already have designated bins for recyclable waste, this would be a good time to get started. Also, any old clothes, shoes, or furniture can be taken to either Goodwill or the Salvation Army. It can't hurt to help.
GO GREEN
Money can be motivation. If you're short up on cash or you could use a little extra
KANSAS
dough to buy that new bike you've been wanting all winter, then use this as an opportunity to make some profit. Sort through all of your stuff and find the things that you never use anymore. Television sets, old-game systems, the table that's been sitting in your garage for a year, post them all on Craigslist. You'd be surprised what some people will buy. For the smaller items, books, DVDs, Blue Rays, CDs, take them to a shop that buys and sells used products such as Half Price Books. The Dusty Bookshelf will buy used books. Hastings will buy back most of these items and give you the option to sell for either store credit or for cash. If you don't feel like going around to sell your unwanted items, and you aren't comfortable with selling and buying online, then you can have yourself an old-fashioned yard sale or a garage sale.
On a finishing note, don't waste the good weather. As the winter fades away, keep the sunny days of spring for your own enjoyment. Wait for a rainy day — and there will be plenty of them — to embark upon your filthy quest.

RELATIONSHIPS
Talking with parents key before living with partner
KANSAS JAMESON

AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
For some students, moving in with a significant other during college is a huge decision that can be difficult to break to parents. But for college couples who already live together, effectively communicating the idea to their parents, without causing a fight, helped ease the situation.
Kelsey Lemburg, a junior from Olathe, said it's important to make sure both sets of parents fully understand their child's relationship and have a chance to get to know the boyfriend or girlfriend beforehand.
they could show that they were serious about the decision and their relationship. A key aspect of their discussion was how they knew they were ready to move in together.
"When I first started dating my boyfriend, I was very open about our relationship from the start," Lemburg said. "Having my parents be a part of what was happening in my life made it easier for them to accept our decision to move in together."
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
"We knew we were ready to take this step when we understood that we could handle arguments and still be okay," Lemburg said. "There will always be something to fight about, but when you and your significant other realize that trivial things are not worth fighting over, life becomes a lot easier."
Lemburg said that her boyfriend's dad is very conservative, so she was nervous when she and her boyfriend decided to tell him about moving in together. Before delivering the news, Lemburg and her boyfriend discussed the reasons they were moving in together and planned out what to say to her boyfriend's father. They wanted to be prepared for when his dad asked questions, so
After coming to this conclusion, Lemburg and her boyfriend felt they were prepared to tell their parents because they had solid reasons to back up their decision.
Nakai Marr, a junior from Lawrence who lives with her boyfriend, said that when making a decision to move in together, the worst thing you can do is rush into it.
Marr and her boyfriend decided to move in together after being exclusive for a year and a half. A key reason for their decision was the financial benefits of splitting the bills.
Before they told their parents about the decision, Marr and her boyfriend made sure that it was the best choice. They talked through
"It didn't make sense for us to live apart. I was always over at his house and half of my things were there, so it saved both of us a lot of money to combine homes." Marr said.
all the financial details, made compromises on furniture and closet space and confirmed their confidence in the relationship. Marr said it was a long process before they finally decided to commit to moving in together, but said the more confident you are about your
plans, the more likely your parents will approve of them.

SHARING
Roommates share items avoid fights by talking
L STELLA LIANG
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
All roommates have different dynamics; some students might share everything between each other, while others might prefer to keep everything separate. However, the likely situation is that roommates eventually share a few items. Here are some tips to make that situation easier:
TIP 1: HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE
It's much easier if guidelines are set before a conflict arises. It obviously won't include everything, but it is somewhere to start. For example, roommates might decide to share silverware, a hair dryer, and so on. It might be helpful to have specific shared items written down, but a verbal agreement also works.
TIP 2: RETURN A BORROWED ITEM IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION
To help guarantee future use of an item,
return the item in good shape. If an item is dirty, clean it. If it's an article of clothing, wash and fold it. If it's a car, fill it up with gas.
TIP 3: IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
If there is uncertainty as to whether or not a roommate would allow using a certain item, it's better to ask. The roommate will appreciate it, and there won't be future misunderstandings.
TIP 4: COMPROMISE
Roommates benefit from sharing a few items. For example, it is probably unnecessary to have two toasters in the same apartment.

STORAGE
Students use extra storage as small space solution
MIKE MONTANO
mmontano@kansan.com
Moving to a new apartment creates a variety of hassles, only one of which may be downsizing. As some students unpack, they realize that many of their belongings will not fit in their new place, which creates additional stress. A storage unit is the next possible answer. Residence halls do not have storage available, and some apartments don't have garages, attics or any other places for excess belongings.
"I think a lot of students use storage units, because it's not easy to just drive their belongings back home," Beverly Morgan, co-owner of Space Place, said.
It is easy to think that household items can be stored in a garage or an outside storage closet, and a garage may be an option for some students at certain complexes, such as The Legends or Parkway Commons. However, they are not climate-controlled, and personal items become susceptible to mold and bugs. With spring and summer humidity approaching, that collection of baseball cards or stamps may be ruined.
Leslie Donahue, community assistant at The Connection apartment complex, said residents are referred to A-1 Self Storage across the street, because the complex does not have storage units or garages.
"We get a lot of students needing storage units, and some also want to store their vehicle," said Theresa Lassiter, Property Manager at A-1.
While rates vary, they typically start at $50 a month for a 5-by-5 storage unit and can go up to $100 a month. There are different types of storage units with different accommodations. Units can be climate-controlled, located on the outside or the inside of the building, be situated on the second floor or even have enough room for your boxes and a car. There are many options available
If students are not concerned about climate-control issues, a garage at an apartment complex might be the answer. Typical single-car garages start at $50 a month with a deposit. Some complexes have double-car garages, so a car can go on one side, and other large, household items can go on the other.
Morgan said the peak time for renting a storage unit is from mid-May until mid-August, because students are in need of a unit over the summer, from July to August.
For students who are interested, there are different storage units throughout town that offer varying units. It's important to decide first what kind of unit to look for, make some calls and sign a lease. Most places will allow students to rent by the month, but some leases can be for longer periods of time.

Tiny apartments can result in little extra space for students to store the items they don't useeveryday. Storage units and garages are good alternatives to cramped quarters.

Young's energy is undeniable. He comes off the bench and is just a spark with hustle on every play. His high-octane motor causes him to get in foul trouble, but he is able to keep plays alive more times than not. Out of his five rebounds, four were on the offensive side of the ball. He failed to score, but his energy and relentlessness is what Kansas needs coming off the bench.

ENTERTAINING
Wine tasting parties a different way to entertain
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
If you are looking for a way to switch up your normal party routine, try something tasteful. Throwing a wine tasting party is a great way to network and get different kinds of people together for a new experience said Kelsey Gordon, a senior from Overland Park.
PLANNING
Gordon said planning is essential. She started planning her party a month ahead, and then almost two weeks before the party she created a Facebook page to invite people with. The day before the party, she sent everyone a text to remind them. The guest list was an important part of the equation for Gordon.
"You just have to know your audience," Gordon said. Some guests will have more of a taste for wine than others, so it's important to plan for that. For example, Gordon found that mixing wine with sprite provided an alternative for those who weren't big wine drinkers.
Gordon also said not to try to compete
with bars or big events. She set the date of her party for a weekday night when school was out.
WHAT TO BUY
Steve Wilson, the manager for City Wine Market in Lawrence, said that you should chose up to six bottles with an even mix of red and white wines. He recommended that first timers will typically enjoy a sweeter wine.
"You definitely want to start out with fruity wines," Wilson said.
Wilson said for tasting purposes, it's important to choose wines that are good examples of what they are. He said the price range for bottles should be between $10 and $15.
One way to save money on costs is to have a BYOW (or Bring Your Own Wine) party. Gordon said that everyone at her party brought a bottle of wine of their choice, and the bottles were set out for anyone to try.
Each guest had their own plastic wine glass at Gordon's party that they decorated and wrote their names on. Party City and Party America in Lawrence sell packages of 18 plastic wine glasses for around $10.
THE TASTING
When tasting it is important to start out with the light or white wines and gradually move to the darker or red wines. Gordon said to taste about six wines, because the palate on the tongue will start to give out after six. In between tastes, rinse the glass out with water or swish water around in your mouth. Long stems help keep hands from warming the wine.
Food can be paired with wine, but might interfere with the taste. Gordon offered a simple plate of cheese and crackers to her guests.
There are many ways to personalize your wine tasting. Gordon said her friends chose to dress up for the occasion and also played poker.
Gordon said these are the kind of parties that lasting memories and friendships come out of.
"This is when you make your true friends in college," Gordon said. "This is when you get those connections. You just network, and that's what's important later on in life."

Speculations grow for running mate
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and other ambitious Republicans eyeing a possible invitation to be Mitt Romney's running mate might want to keep 1920 in mind.
That was the last time the losing vice presidential nominee was a politician skillful and lucky enough to eventually become president.
His name? Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
So one takeaway for this year's much-talked-about group of potential vice president candidates is simply this: If you hope to be president one day, accepting the No. 2 spot is a pretty good deal if the ticket wins — and a possible path to political obscurity if it loses.
Of the dozen presidents since FDR, five were former vice presidents. (Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush moved directly into the Oval Office; Richard Nixon had to wait eight years).
A few former vice presidents won their party's presidential nomination but lost the general election. They include Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Al Gore. But the losing vice presidential nominee has tended to join a more frustrated list of people who at one time or another sought the presidency. They include John Edwards, Joe Lieberman, Jack Kemp, Lloyd Bentsen and Edmund Muskie.
Romney hasn't locked up the
GOP presidential nod, but hes on his way. Speculation about his choice for a running mate, meanwhile, is growing.
Most often mentioned are younger politicians who have expressed presidential ambitions themselves or had others do it for them. They include Rubio, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, all in their early 40s; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 49; South Dakota Sen. John Thune, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, in their early 50s; and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, in their mid-to-late 50s.
All are younger than Romney. 65. They could be well-positioned to run for president in 2016 if Romney loses this fall to President Barack Obama, or in 2020 if Romney wins.
The question they may have to ask themselves is this: Is it worth joining Romney's ticket, given that the November election is likely to be close and Obama is a well-financed, experienced campaigner?
Roosevelt was a 38-year-old Assistant Secretary of the Navy when he became James M. Cox's running mate in 1920. Warren G. Harding won easily, Cox was forgotten, and Roosevelt 12 years later won the first of his four terms as president.
It's certainly an honor to be asked to run for vice president of the United States. It's also a gamble.

ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani court sentenced Osama bin Laden's three widows and two of his daughters to 45 days in prison on Monday for illegally living in the country, ordering them deported when the sentence ends, their lawyer said.

With credit for time served, the women and several of their other children will leave Pakistan later this month, said lawyer Mohammed Amir Khalil. They have been in detention since American commandos killed bin Laden in a large house in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad on May 2, but they were formally charged with immigration offenses only last month. The Americans left the women and children behind in the house after they flew off with bir Laden's corpse.

Deadline set for withdrawal of Syrian troops from cities
NEW YORK CITY — International envoy Kofi Annan told the U.N. Security Council on Monday that Syria informed him its military will complete the withdrawal of troops and heavy weapons from populated areas by April 10.

The Syrian military will withdraw its troops on April 10. International envoy Kofi Annan said that the Syrian foreign minister would have preferred an earlier date.

U. S. Ambassador Susan Rice said Annan received a letter from Syria's foreign minister on Sunday with the April 10 date and indicated he would have preferred an earlier deadline. She said Annan urged the Syrian government to start the withdrawal immediately and move no further into populated areas, and "that commitment was provided."
Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'fari said the April 10 deadline was set "by common accord" between Annan and the Syrian government, and
he again pledged his government's complete support for Annan's six-point plan to end the yearlong Syrian crisis.
But Rice, the current Security council president, expressed skepticism
about Syria's commitment, saying that Damascus has made and broken promises over many months.

Investigators say improper de-icing may not have caused deadly plane crash
MOSCOW — Russia's civil aviation chief says the plane that crashed Monday into a snowy field in Siberia, killing 31 people, appears to have been improperly de-iced, but he said there was no indication that negligence had caused the crash.
The twin-engine turboprop belonging to UATair crashed shortly after takeoff Monday from the snowy western Siberian city of Tyumen with 43 people aboard. Twelve people have been hospitalized in serious condition.
The state news agency RIA-Novosti quoted Rosaviatysya head Alexander Neradko as saying there was evidence "that the treatment of the plane with de-icing agents was not done at the necessary level." However, he also said there was no basis yet "to connect this with the causes of the crash."
The plane came down in a field about three kilometers (two miles) away from the Tyumen airport, breaking into three sections upon impact. Part of it was destroyed by a fire that burned at least six people to death, Sergei Kiselov, police chief at the Roshchino airport in Tyumen.
Investigators said evidence so far points to a technical failure of the French/italian-made aircraft. They noted that witnesses reported seeing smoke coming from its engines as the plane came down and said its pilots had tried to return to the airport.
The federal Investigative Committee said while equipment failure appeared to be the most likely cause of the crash, pilot error or mistakes by traffic controllers had not been ruled out.
.
Thirty-one people were killed in Monday's plane crash. The plane, an ATR-72, took off at 7:40 a.m. from Tyumen and was heading for the oil town of Surgut, about 400 miles away.

No damage reported from aftershock
MEXICO CITY — Mexico was shaken Monday afternoon by a strong apparent aftershock from a powerful earthquake late last month.
Officials said there were no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries from the quake, which had an initial magnitude of 6.3.
Office towers rocked back and forth for several seconds in the center of Mexico City after the quake at 12:36 p.m. (1736 GMT) Monday afternoon and workers evacuated their buildings and gathered in the street. The quake was barely perceptible in some other parts of the city.
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebard said via Twitter that no major damage had been reported by helicopter overflights of the city and public transport and other services were functioning normally.
Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire also said on Twitter that he had received no immediate reports of significant damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 for Monday's aftershock and said the epicenter was in southern Mexico near the border of Guerrero and Oaxaca states, very close to the epicenter of a strong quake on March 20. Mexico has been shaken by a series of strong aftershocks since that quake, which killed at least two people and damaged about 13,500 homes near its epicenter.
Civil protection officials in both states close to the epicenter said there were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

In addition to securing a juicy role as a wealthy heiress, Lynch served as an inspiration for every character, from like Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), an ambitious hotel owner who teams up with criminals to stop his employees from unionizing, to Ben "The Butcher" Diamond (Danny Huston), a mobster so heartless that he shoots the family's barking dog for interrupting a phone call.

Kelly Lynch inspiration for new drama series
LOS ANGELES — Kelly Lynch has something more precious than an Oscar: a Hollywood marriage that's lasted 20 years.
That rare accomplishment pays off big time in "Magic City," a new TV drama created by her husband, Mitch Glazer, about what goes on behind the scenes of a swank hotel in late 1950s Miami.

NEW YORK — Perched on the 36th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper, SiriusXM Radio Inc.'s glass-walled lab byteed with 52 buff bachelors, a diminutive Catholic nun and singer Chris Isaak strumming his guitar, a pint-sized white terrier at his heels.
It was just another morning at SinusXM, which dishes out an electric and complex blend of 180 satellite radio channels.

Three dimensional movies receive inconsistent profits
"The Lion King," a movie that dates back to 1994, made more than $94 million at the box office after its recent rerelease as a 3-D reboot that reportedly cost about $10 million.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
It's not hard to do the math, or see where it leads.
Three-dimensional cinema may well be the future of movies. But it's also the past — and not just because a lot of old-timers would pick "House of Wax" (1953) as their favorite 3-D film. Consider the situation at Disney:
"John Carter," the futuristic 3-D sci-fi extravaganza released March 9, cost $250 million (officially) to make, and is losing the company (officially) $200 million.
This week, it leads to "Titanic" in 3-D, a likely landmark in the history of recycling. For many, a voyage aboard the James Cameron-directed Oscar winner and box-office champ (later displaced by Cameron's 3-D "Avatar") will mean another ultraromantic journey into an enchanted, treacherous North Atlantic.

Zane, chewing the (enhanced) scenery and chasing Leonardo DiCaprio around a sinking ocean liner while firing a pistol.
But not all 3-D films are viewed under the stringent quality control of IMAX, or measure up dramatically to the likes of "Titanic." One of the lessons of recent events at the cinema is that 3-D can't make bad movies into good films.
Either way, it will look spectacular, says David Keighley, chief quality officer at IMAX, the gold standard of big-screen exhibition. "Besides improving the picture, we also remastered the sound," he said. "You can feel the hull of the ship cracking."
There will be no shortage of movies in 3-D coming soon, nor 3-D movies with something nostalgic about them. "Top Gun" and "Ghostbusters" are among the old movies scheduled for a technical upgrade. At Disney, a

Multiple choices can lead to regret
PSYCHOLOGY
W whenever I go shopping at a grocery store or even for clothing, it seems that after a certain point, the more choices I have, the more regret I feel afterwards. Why is
You walk into your favorite clothing store. You see a shirt you like hanging on a display. Do you want more choices of colors and designs similar to that original? Likely, yes. Do you want many more like that original to choose from? Probably. Is American culture built on the idea that freedom is good, therefore choice is good? Yes, according to Psychologist Barry Schwartz who wrote the book "The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less."
By Mike Sofis
msofis@kansan.com
Schwartz also argues, however,
that too many choices actually
paralyze us. Take your average
grocery store for instance. Think
of the type of groceries you typically get. Maybe it's breads, chips,
frozen foods, jellies, dressing,
cookies and so on. Now think of how many options you have to choose from within each of those foods. In his TED Talk, Schwartz
gives the example of his small local grocery store that gives you 175 individual options for salad dressing. So it's clear that choices are abundant in our lives, but why might this cause regret?
Try and think about the opportunity cost, or the benefits of the alternatives to your chosen purchase of your individual purchasing decision. We value anything, in this case the grocery product, in relation to the availability of the competing alternatives. Therefore, if there are 175 salad dressings, we are more likely to regret the purchase we end up making. Also, more choice means more expectations and an additional level of regret or dissatisfaction.
Researchers at the University Dr. DiGennaro Reed and Dr. Derek have sought to further Swartz's research which he termed Choice Overload
(Reed, Derek D; DiGennaro Reed, Florence D; Chok, James; and Brozyna, Gary A. 2011). They've specifically looked at how some individuals tend to

costs in looking, perceived risk and regret you've experienced from similar situations in the past. While much of the literature hasn't focused on what we should do as
individuals, it's safe to say that more is often less.

Supreme court to review provision in healthcare bill
Starting on March 26, the Supreme Court listened to three days of arguments concerning the constitutionality of the healthcare act that has come to be known as "Obamacare." Their ruling, which won't come until the end of June, will shape the future of American healthcare. While the healthcare issue has been off the front pages since it was signed in March 2010, the constitutively of one of its more controversial requirements has been in and out of the federal court system. The ruling addresses an issue at the heart of how our nation is governed.
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
The Constitution gives a few, well-defined powers to the federal government. As stated within the document that lies at the heart of our nation's very day-to-day existence, states have all those rights that are not defined within the Constitution. One of those powers that is granted to the federal government is the ability to regulate commerce between the states in order to ensure equitable commerce for citizens. This does not include the right to force citizens into buying specific items, which is the reason the Supreme Court will listen to whether the government has the right to force people to buy health insurance.
The main issue in this case is whether the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's requirement that most people carry insurance or pay a fee, known as the "individual mandate," violates the Constitution. However, if the court decides that this part is unconstitutional, that doesn't mean that the entire healthcare bill will disappear.
The court could simply remove that part of the law, leaving the rest of the law's provisions in place. It could remove that requirement and the rest of the law that is closely linked with the mandate, which could include the rules that insurance companies stop denying policies to customers who have a pre-existing health condition. Even more confusing is the fact that there is a federal law called the Anti-Injunction Act, which requires tax-payers to pay their assessments before they can challenge a levy's legality. Because the law won't come into affect until 2014, the court may not be able to make a judgment on the consti-
tutuality until after the full law comes into effect.
There are several ways to bring about the lower insurance cost results that the President and Democrat Congress
United States executive and federal government have the right to interpret the Commerce Clause in a way that allows them to dictate to states.
This administration has not been shy to mix and muddle the difference between the three branches of government, a situation that the Constitution was created to avoid. This mandate is an example of a slippery slope. If the government is allowed to dictate to the states, and by direct connection, the citizens of those states and what they should buy, there is nothing to say where this practice will stop.
There are many that will argue that the Constitution is an antiquated document created by a group of wealthy men of direct European descent and that as such, the reserved powers of states is an antiquated idea. But this is basis for our government and nation. We, as the peers of

intended with the passing of the act. Deregulation of state-by-state sales of insurance policies has always been an option, and most importantly, one that is certainly constitutional. This ruling isn't about whether or not Americans deserve higher availability to healthcare and/or lower healthcare costs, but whether the

NATURI
Students should try to enjoy nature efficiently
By Angela Hawkins hawkins@kansan.com
This spring has been exceptionally nice. It's been warm, sunny, the trees are blooming and the grass is green. You don't need rocket science to see that. However, sometimes it seems like we, as students, don't really appreciate it.
Think about it. We have a beautiful spring. We live on a beautiful campus. How sad would it be for the warmth of summer to arrive without the beauty of spring ever being acknowledged?
I know going outside sounds like a time-consuming thing. Running, playing catch or Frisbee, going on a walk; they all take valuable time. Outdoor
activities do take time, but fortunately for students, enjoying spring doesn't have to be a hassle.
Now that daylight savings time has sprung for-

"How sad would it be for the warmth of summer to arrive without the beauty of spring ever being acknowledged?"
ward, the mornings are warmer and sunnier. Yet, somehow, there's always a line for the bus on Daisy Hill. Walking to campus instead could provide a rewarding morning experience.
If you go to Mrs. E's for breakfast and wait for the bus outside of Lewis, the only nature you see is the sidewalk and parking lot. If you walk instead, you no longer have to wait for a bus that may or may not be on time, but you get the chance to walk by the trees and
Lunchtime offers another opportunity to get outside. Sure, the underground is usually packed and so is Wescoe Beach, but there are so many other places to eat lunch outside. In front of Fraser, there's a nice, shady plot of grass and pretty much anywhere there's a hill, there's a plot of grass that would be perfect for a mid-day picnic or an afternoon study session.
I understand that sometimes

it isn't possible to be outside. Good luck convincing your professors to let class out early or to hold class outside, but don't let looking
through windows be the only way you see spring.
We're lucky here. This is a beautiful place to be and a beautiful time to be here. So get outside, turn down your music and put on your sunglasses. Look around you and be thankful for such a nice season.

In a town where basketball is a way of life, pride reigns over all other emotions. After the layhawks lost to Kentucky 59-67, fans in downtown Lawrence were disappointed but remained loyal to their team.
Karina Kiewel, a sophomore from South Dakota said it was hard to be upset about the game.
"Honestly I'm really proud of the Jayhawks for coming as far as they did," she said. "I didn't really expect that."
Before the end of the game, Ryan Eby, a junior from Denver, C., was still loyal to the team.
"Win or lose, I love my lahayks more than ever tonight," Eyba said.
Courtney Kathrens, a junior from Highlands Ranch CO., said watching Kentucky celebrate on the court she disappointing because she thought they weren't as excited as KU would have been.
"We wanted it more." she said.
Anytime Bill Self appeared on one of the multiple projection screens inside the Granada Theater Monday before the game, the crowd erupted in cheers. It would be an understatement to say the crowd was excited.
Even with the Jayhawks down by 14 at the half the crowd remained optimistic.
"I still have faith." Stephanie Schremmer, a senior from Arkansas said.
Grace Long, a senior from Overland Park, said she was trying to stay optimistic by reminding herself that it's just a game.
"But it's a really big game because I'm a senior and I wasn't here in 2008," Long said.
"We're a second half team," she said.
Stephanie Kusek, a junior form Chesterfield MO, said she was nervous because Kentucky was one of the best teams the Jayhawks had played.
Andrew Castle, a junior from Denver $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ , said he was worried but trusted Bill Self's coaching and the team's outside shot ability to bring them back.
"Never again will they call it a rebuilding year." Castle said.
Some people left Allen Fieldhouse during halftime, but the seats were still filled by students, community members and visitors, who packed the arena with a collective anxiety.
When Wichita native Gavin Stoukn arrived at the Fieldhouse, it was already a sea of blue.
"it's like a game is actually being played," Stoukn said.
Stouk, a graduate student, still had hope despite the Jayhawks losing by double-digits.

Students took their seats on the floor at 5 p.m. but lined up hours before tipoff of the NCAA Championship game between Kansas and Kentucky.
Kentucky fans outnumbered the students, but they couldn't intimidate the Jayhawks.
HALF-TIME HOPEFULS
"We got here at 10:00 a.m. with a 30-pack and a large pizza," Ian McGonigle, a senior from Wichita said. "It helps the nerves I guess, but we've made it this far and I am just excited to be here honestly."
With Jayhawks down 41-27 at half-time, fans still believed in the magic and the strong second halves that have carried the team all year.
"We've been down like this before." Hilary Barbour, a senior from Winfield, said. "It's happened before: many times. We can do it again."
"I think since Kentucky expects to win, but we just have more heart," Kendall Cole, a freshman from Houston said. "Our team loves each other and I am going to scream as loud as I can. We just have a bond."
Wichita, said he remained nervous throughout the game.
"You know it's happened so many times that you can't count us out," Naghei said. "Hopefully we can get closer in the next ten minutes or so and then grind it out at the end."
Students screamed at the top of their lungs, banged the chairs as hard as they could and eventually stood silent with their hands on top of their heads. But students said they weren't disappointed.
TROPHYLESS BUT CONFIDENT
The Jayhawks waited until the final seconds to accept their fate; Kentucky won 59-67, and despite the loss, students looked forward to next season.
"I'm shocked," Sue Redican, a freshman from St. Louis, said. "I really thought that we had a lot of momentum. I'm still glad I came, but more than anything I am looking forward to next season."
Nick Schulte, a junior from Wichita said despite the loss, the memories made were worth it.
"We weren't even expected to be here," Schulte said. "But I had a blast. We weren't even expected to win the first one, so to be here for that was amazing. I'm upset we lost, but I'll live."

Wildcat fans arrested for post-game behavior
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Police in Kentucky say they have arrested several dozen people following the Wildcats' 67-59 win over Kansas in the NCAA championship game.
Roberts said a car crashed into the patio area at a bar and grill where some people were dining, but the metal and brick wall kept the vehicle from getting onto the patio. She didn't have information about injuries.
Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said late Monday that officers were "seeing fires being lit and things of that nature." She added that people had set couches and at least one car on fire.
Fans filled the streets near the university's Lexington campus within minutes of the game's conclusion Monday night. They jumped up and down, screamed, sprayed water and waved Kentucky flags.
Police also had handed out numerous citations, many for alcohol-related offenses.

Kentucky and Kansas governors bet on game
TOPEKA, Kan. — A trophy and bragging rights are on the line for Kansas and Kentucky's basketball programs in the Final Four. For the governors of the two states it's food.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is wagering beef that the Jayhawks will earn their second national championship in four weeks Monday in New Orleans, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear has a Kentucky country ham riding on his team's chances. The winning governor will donate the food to a food bank.
The game is a clash between the top two programs in the history of college basketball. The teams rank first and second in the number of victories.
Brownback noted that Kentucky coaching legend Adolph Rupp is from Kansas. He played for Phog Allen and coached high school ball before eventually landing at Kentucky.

Pilot remains in custody after outburst
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clayton Osbon smiled at his wife and JetBlue employees who watched his first federal court appearance from the gallery, but did not speak other than to tell the judge he understood his rights and the charges against him.
Osbon, 49, was not asked to enter a plea during the 10-minute hearing. U.S. Magistrate Judge Clinton E. Averite is expected to rule on the bond issue at a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday.
Osbon has remained in Amarillo since the plane he was piloting last Tuesday was forced to make an emergency landing there following his bizarre unraveling on Flight 191. Passengers wrestled Osbon to the ground after witnesses said he ran through the cabin yelling about Jesus
He was taken to an Amarillo hospital for a medical evaluation and remained there for several days. It was not immediately clear where he was being held Monday.

Conny Osbon hurried to a waiting car outside the courthouse following her husband's hearing. She released a statement through the airline Sunday saying the in-flight outburst "wasn't intentionally violent toward anyone" and asked the media to respect their family's privacy.
Osbon wore normal clothes in the courtroom, dressed in a green shirt and baggy green pants. He was shackled at the feet. His attorney, Dean Roper, declined to comment after the hearing.
Longtime friends and fellow pilots have said they don't recall Clayton Osbon having any previous mental or health problems.
Prosecutors have charged Osbon with interfering with a flight crew. Under federal law, a conviction can bring up to 20 years in prison.

OAKLAND, Calif. — A gunman opened fire at a Christian university in California Monday, killing at least six people and wounding three more, authorities said. Police say they have a suspect in custody.
The shooting erupted around midmorning at Oikos University in Oakland and left six dead, according to City Council President Larry Reid, who says he was told the count by the police chief.
Gunman kills at least six in college shooting
Officer Johna Watson did not give any other details about the detained suspect.
Authorities earlier described the gunman as a heavyset Korean man in his 40s wearing khaki clothing. "I can confirm that we do have one person who has been detained that we believe is possibly responsible for this shooting." Watson said.
Earlier, television news footage showed a chaotic scene as heavily armed officers swarmed into the building in search of the shooter. The footage also showed bloodied victims on stretchers being loaded into ambulances.

Winning tickets also were sold in Illinois and Maryland, making the Kansas ticket worth about $218 million.
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Lottery officials say the holder of the state's winning Mega Millions ticket has not come forward to claim a share of the $656 million jackpot.
The prize must be claimed either at the Kansas Lottery's headquarters in Topeka or at its regional office in Great Bend.

ON TRIAL
Nurse may face death row for killing five
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUFKIN, Texas — A jury heard evidence Monday to decide if an East Texas nurse goes to death row or spends the rest of her life in prison for killing five kidney dialysis patients by injecting them with bleach.
Kimberly Saenz, 38, sobbed quietly as one witness called by her lawyer talked about how devastating the case has been to Saenz's fifth-grade daughter, one of her two children. The witness was among a dozen who testified Monday, nine of them for Saenz.
"Come out in a box?" attorney Steve Taylor asked Frank AuBuchon, a retired Texas prison official.
"Yes, sir," he replied as Saenz looked down at the defense table.
She was convicted Friday of killing the patients and deliberately injuring five others
at a clinic run by Denver-based health care giant DaVita Inc.
Most of the defense witnesses attested to Saenz's participation in her two children's school work and athletics, how she attended church and was a good worker at a previous job. All were questioned briefly except for the final witness, a prison consultant who described Saenz's restrictions as an inmate serving life without parole and having no chance to get out.
Photos of the victims were among the evidence introduced by Angelina County District Attorney Clyde Herrington, who called only three witnesses Monday.
her head in her right hand.
All were Lufkin law enforcement officers who told of arresting Saenz for public intoxication and of citing her for criminal trespass, both related to domestic disturbances with her husband. Records introduced also showed her husband had filed for divorce and obtained an emergency protective order against her in June 2007, a year before the outbreak of death and illnesses at the Lufkin Davita clinic.
Taylor brought out in questioning that Saenz and her husband had reconciled.
Other records showed she had been fired from her job as a Lufkin hospital nurse after drugs showed up missing and were found in her purse. Her nursing license eventually was suspended. And prosecutors showed records she had submitted false information on a job application in 2009, indicating she worked at a roofing company during the years when she was a nurse.
Death row only was mentioned in a few brief references during all of Monday's questioning and testimony.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Federal appeals court rejects challenge to California law
Colleges cannot discriminate when admitting students
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Affirmative action proponents took a hit Monday as a federal appeals court panel upheld California's ban on using race, ethnicity and gender in admitting students to public colleges and universities.
The ruling marked the second time the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals turned back a challenge to the state's landmark voter initiative, Proposition 209, which was passed in 1996.
Affirmative action proponents, who had requested that
"...California voters have every right to prohibit government from color-coding people and playing favorites..."
the court reconsider its 1997 decision after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2003 that affirmative action could be used in college admissions, said they would continue fighting.
was not surprising since the issue had already been decided. This case was redundant and baseless, he said.
"We think the decision is wrong," said Detroit attorney George B. Washington, who is representing the group of minority students and advocacy groups that filed the latest challenge in January 2010.
RALPH KASARDA
Pacific Legal Foundation attorney
"The bottom line from both decisions by the 9th Circuit — today's and the ruling 15 years ago — is that California voters have every right to prohibit government from color-coding people and playing favorites based on
Washington said he would ask the full appellate court to review the case since this decision was issued by a three-judge panel.
In its ruling, the court rejected the plaintiffs' arguments that a new ruling is needed and said the previous decision still applies.
Ralph Kasarda, attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation who had argued in favor of the ban, said the court's decision
individuals' sex or skin color," Kasandra said in a statement.
At least six states have adopted bans on using affirmative action in state college admissions. Besides
California and Michigan, they include Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Washington.
In California, the year after ban was adopted, the number of black, Latino and Native American students at the University of California's most prestigious campuses — Berkeley and Los Angeles — plummeted by 50 percent, according to the plaintiffs cited in the court opinion.
Advocates of affirmative action say such bans lead to the exclusion of minority students and less campus diversity.
The university has tried to compensate for the drop in those students by using other admissions criteria, including a "comprehensive review" of applicants, admitting the top 4 percent of graduates from any high school and decreasing the weight of standardized tests, the opinion said.
But affirmative action proponents say the measures have not been enough to boost opportunities for historically excluded minorities.
Although blacks, Latinos and Native Americans comprise about half of California's high school graduates, they make up only 19.5 percent of the current freshman class at UC Berkeley. Whites compose roughly 30 percent and Asians 48 percent. The remainder is out-of-state students.
Backers of affirmative action bans say ruling out race, gender and ethnicity criteria guarantees that all applicants are treated fairly and not discriminated against.
The issue has led to protracted legal battles in several states.
In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court said the University of Michigan Law School could consider race in admissions decisions to promote campus diversity.
That decision led to a three-judge panel of the U. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturning Michigan's affirmative action ban last year. The full appellate court, however, has agreed to reconsider the case.
In February, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear another case against the University of Texas, alleging that use of affirmative action is discriminatory. If the court decides against the university, the ruling could definitively end consideration of race in public university admissions.

COMMENTARY
A season full of memories
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS — It wasn't supposed to hurt this bad, right? Wrong.
When the clock ran out on Kansas' miracle tournament run, Tyshawn Taylor's mom, Jeanell Taylor, sobbed in the stands with Taylor's two younger sisters. That is, until Angel Morris tried to ease the pain.
The supposed icing on the cake for Kansas turned sour on Monday night, leaving us all nauseous, dazed and numb.
So while our arms are hugging our legs, let's remember how special of a season this was. A season that was never supposed to be so sweet. A season that started with a disclaimer.
We will all remember Late Night in the Phog when head coach Bill Self said this season would be a process. He said to enjoy the ride. Easier than said than done. Bill.
We will all remember Maui, and the game against Georgetown that had us fuming in the morning's first hours. Then UCLA, when Kansas easily handled Ben Howland's Bruins. And we'll especially remember that game against Duke, when Bill Self and Coach K left the island with matching red faces.
We'll remember Ohio State, when we first learned this team was good. Really good. When Sullinger never played, Kevin Young made us jump and the Fieldhouse structure took a beating.
And then there was Davidson, when everything changed. Kansas was bad. So bad, in fact, that some over-zealous fans questioned if Kansas was even to make the NCAA tournament. We will always remember how Kansas' season went from the gutter to the throne after that uldv, uldv game.
We will all also remember what that game set up. Missouri, part two. We will all remember what felt like the longest week ever waiting for that game. We'll remember the tip off thunder and then going down by 19 points. We'll remember the team chipping away. We'll remember the loudest moment in college basketball history — the block.
And then we'll remember this magical NCAA tournament run. One that had comeback after comeback. One that involved a Roy Williams smack down and a 13 point come-from-behind victory against Ohio State.
Yes, it's been a basketball season that every single one of us will remember for the rest of our lives.
Yes, we'll all remember these comeback kids — our classmates who never quit. Not when they were trailing by 18 against Kentucky. We'll always remember that miracul run that never was.
We will all remember Missouri, part one, when the Tigers did exactly what Kansas learned to do for five NCAA tournament games — play from behind.
RUN IS DONE
Storming Massachusetts Street will be remembered, as Lawrence was bliss, strangers were hugged and friends were embraced.
We will always remember the Baylor game, when Thomas Robinson made us all feel sorry for the rim after an alley-oop that will stay in the pre-game video for years. That is when Kansas made its opening Big 12 statement.
And that's what led Angel Morris to grab leann Taylor.
"Those should be tears of joy," Morris said. "You've had an incredible four years here."

NEW ORLEANS — You can grow into the best player you can be, figure how to make it work with your teammates and take this progression all the way to the championship game.
Sometimes, it just doesn't matter. On a night when the Kansas Jayhawks had to play just about perfectly to defeat the vaunted Kentucky Wildcats, in many ways, they did themselves in.
"You make it to the national championship," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said, "and it still feels like you lose in the first round."
Kentucky was brilliant early, but some Jayhawks in the locker room said that they were their own undoing in Monday night's 67-59 loss in the championship game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
After all the games they should have never won, but did, and all the steps it took to get this far, it's over
now.
"When you get a puppy and you watch that puppy grow up and die," junior guard Elijah Johnson said, "that hurts."
Kentucky forward Anthony Davis was forceful as expected, swatting and retaining just about every shot that approached him. When he wasn't blocking, he was driving the Jayhawks away from where he stood, forcing long shots that have never been their forte. In the first half, the Wildcats scored with grace and efficiency as expected, knocking down dagger three-pointers and throwing momentum-draining dunks.
But in the second half, the Jayhawks clamped down and allowed just 26 points. Their defense revived their spirits. The same heads that hung dejectedly in the first half were facilitating runs. Despite trailing by 14 points at halftime, they fully believed that they were going to win this game. They brought the deficit to just five points with 1:37 to play.
"If they were going to beat us,
they were going to remember us," Johnson said. "They were going to feel the last of us."
"No one could tell us that we were going to lose except for the scoreboard," he said.
But it wasn't enough. They routinely missed layups and dunks. They turned the ball over, into a Wildcat's hands or soaring out of bounds, just when they seemed poised for a comeback. When they finally seized momentum, they were out of time.
"We've been working on this since October," Johnson said, "just dreaming about it."
And now it's over. This surprising team that rallied behind Self's system and each player's trust in one another made it to the championship game. It just wasn't enough.
The Wildcats were fully expected to win this game. Their talent-stacked rotation had consistently blown opponents away. But on Monday night, this wasn't the case.
hands, the magnets of fate, compelled comeback teases with quick dribble drives, then eluded victory with five turnovers, one that was in the final minute of the game.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's
"I can't get this back." Taylor said. "That was my last time putting on a Kansas jersey."
It seems that junior forward Thomas Robinson, through all the tragedies and familial support from loving fans, has also played his last game as a lawhawk.
Now all that's left is time to reflect. Coach Self, take it away.
"From start to finish, there's been no team I've been around compete this hard. There's been no team I've been around that was able to take whatever situation dealt them and respond to it favorably. And there's no team I've been around that represented our University or ourselves, or their families, any better than this one has."

the national scene. Within a two game span she had two dunks that were repeated ad infinitum on Sports Center and drew comparisons to Kentucky forward Anthony Davis.
Her coach, Kim Mulkey, was a point guard and is the only person with national titles as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
By Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
Title IX legislation is in its 40th season after setting a new standard for women's sports equality at the collegiate level. It has allowed women's basketball to slowly gain notoriety while providing a viable career option for female athletes.
Tonight, the Baylor "machine," as Griner referred to it, will compete for another national title taking on Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m.
And now, with the men's season over,
it is a perfect chance to take in a night of
top-notch women's basketball.
Baylor enters the game undefeated
with the National Player of the Year and Coach of the Year on their sideline. Notre Dame brings Skyler Diggins who will face Odyssey Sims at the point guard position. Diggins and Sims are both finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award that honors the top point guard in the nation.
Despite the talents and names that are making women's basketball relevant, it is still an underappreciated, under-watched sport.
There are some key differences to
prepare for before switching to the women's game, but if you appreciate the changes, the game will follow.
1. PACE
2. SCORING
There is no back-court clock in the women's game which significantly changes the timing of each possession. However, the shot clock is shortened to 30 seconds.
There is less emphasis on three pointers and more on jump shots and scoring in the lane. Most scoring comes from half-court defense because the teams prioritize setting up plays. The games are traditionally lower scoring than men's games because there are fewer three pointers and three-point plays.
KU
The women's game is more focused on fundamentals. With the emphasis
3. SKILL SET
on set plays, things like dribbling and passing become vital. While there is high athleticism in both genders, there are key differences in flashy plays since Griner is the only woman who consistently dunks right now.
If you tune in tonight, as every sports fan should, give it time. This should be one of the best women's games of the year with plenty of storylines on each side. Baylor has a perfect season in jeopardy and Griner is just fun to watch. Diggins and Sims will offer a good match up at the point and each coach will bring a carefully planned strategy.

BASEBALL
Kansas takes on Blue Jays in World Series stadium
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
It's Omaha, Neb. It's the TD Ameritrade Park. It's where college baseball lives, the home of the College Baseball World Series.
The Kansas Jayhawks will get to play in one of the most spectacular college baseball venues in the country tonight when they face the Creighton Blue jays.
Coach Ritch Price said the stadium blew him away the first time he saw it. They will have to settle for playing in April for now.
"We were there last year in the second game played in it, and it's absolutely gorgeous." Price said. "It's a game that our guys look forward to every year."
The Jayhawks are coming off their first Big 12 series victory since April of last year. They won two of three games against Texas Tech over the weekend — including Sunday's 9-3 victory.
Kansas will send freshman startling pitcher Drew Morovick (2-1, 6.75) to the mound. Morovick has
struggled at times with command this season.
“Last year,” Morowick said, “watching the College World Series, it kind of became a goal to go and play there. It's not the College World Series, but it's gonna be nice to actually get to play there.”
Morovick will look to build off his relief outing Sunday against Texas Tech. He came on in the eighth inning and then two perfect innings while striking out one
Kansas comes into tonight's game with a 12-15 record and a two-game winning streak. The team has struggled on the road, though, posting just an 8-13 record on the road or at a neutral site.
Creighton is also below .500, but barely, with a 12-13 record. The Blue lays are better at home, where they are 5-4 this season.
Kansas boasts a slightly better offense. Its hitters are averaging .260 and have scored 126 runs on the season. Creighton's hitters are averaging .238 at the plate and have scored 114 runs.
Senior third baseman Chris
Manship said he thinks the Kansas lineup may have turned a corner against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have struggled all season with leaving runners on base, but on Sunday they scored five runs on two-out base hits.
"After last weekend, we kind of were a little bit in a slump there," Manship said. "I think this really helped us get up and out of it and get us rolling a little bit."
Creighton swept Kansas in two games last season. The first game was played in Lawrence, and the Blue Lays won in 10 innings, 4-3. In the second meeting in Omaha, Creighton took care of Kansas 5-3.
No matter the result, Kansas's players will enjoy the chance to play in the epicenter of college baseball.
"It's just a beautiful venue," Manship said. "We played there last year, and really, there's not a nicer park, it's awesome."

Storm-torn yacht returns after around-the-world voyage
BOATING
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
A battered yacht and its bruised crew limped into port Monday after a giant wave smashed over the stern with such force that it carried away the boat's steering wheel and knocked the crew about like bowling pins.
A Coast Guard cutter reached the Geraldton Western Australia, which was damaged about 400 miles off the San Francisco coast Sunday, and removed two injured crew members while the rest of the sailors decided to press on to finish the longest leg of an around-the-world race.
boats to complete a 5,680-mile trek across the Pacific.
The 68-foot yacht was expected to dock in the wee hours Tuesday morning and become the last of 10
"The sea was alive with rage," the boat's captain Juan Coetzer told race organizers, who posted his comments online. "Then at our watch change, just before the sun came up (Saturday), a monstrous foaming swell broke over our stern."
The wave pushed the helmsman Mark Burkes into the steering wheel and its pedestal in gale-force winds of more than 50 knots.
Coetzer said the crew managed
1843
to quickly replace the steering wheel with a tiller and got the yacht under control by pulling down "the remains of our main sail" and raising a much smaller "storm jib," slowing the boat's progress considerably.
"We were making good, good speed." Coetzer said of conditions before the accident, "surfing at 15 - 20 knots." The yacht is now traveling at about half that speed.
Assistant race director Justin Taylor, a two-time skipper in the contest, said that crews "drill" for such an event as losing a steering wheel in heavy seas and that the repair took a matter of minutes.
"Their training kicked in," Taylor said.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Thomas Robinson, junior forward
With Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones hanging by the basket, it wasn't easy for any Jayhawk inside. Robinson missed all of his 17 shots and many of them were makable. However he gave the Jayhawks fierceness and productivity; 18 points and 17 rebounds. This is not how he planned it would end, but it was an admirable sendoff for one of the greatest to ever don the crimson and blue.

Travis Releford, junior forward
GAME TO FORGET
He wasn't the only guy defending Kentucky guard Doron Lamb, but he was one of them. Releford is supposed to be the defensive stopper for this team and he often didn't act this way on Monday night. Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist also got the best of Releford on a few plays that ended in dunks. Releford scored 15 points against Ohio State on Saturday, but he reverted to his usual self on Monday, missing five of six shots and scoring just four points.

MEN'S BASKE Davis, Kentucky too strong
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS - Everyone knew about the margin for error Kansas had offensively this season, and Monday night's 67-59 loss to Kentucky showed just how small it really was.
It wouldn't happen, though,
thanks in part to an offense that
struggled mightily all night.
The Jayhawks once again dug themselves a large hole in the first half with empty possessions and untimely mistakes. If another comeback was in order, it would have had to be the biggest halftime deficit overcome in NCAA Championship game history.
"There was definitely some second and third shots while trying to score," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "It wasn't just him; It's a big team. The guards are huge. They were everywhere."
The Wildcats start just one player under 6-foot-4, a tall and lengthy team that was able to wreak havoc on defense with its size.
"They're too good of a team for us to do that," junior center Jeff Withey said of the 14-point lead the team gave Kentucky at halftime.
National Player of the Year Anthony Davis hAd six blocks and it was painfully clear just how much his presence affected Kansas while penetrating to the hoop.
Robinson had 18 points but was just 6-of-17 from the field against Kentucky forward Terrance Jones.
"A lot of times I'd try to go over my left shoulder on Jones," Robinson said. "But I could see Anthony skying over the top of him. So it was kind of tough for me to even pass it to Jeff or try to get a shot up."
Even with all the disadvantages offensively, Johnson said they never thought about staying away from the paint and shooting more outside shots. Coach Bill Self said the team tried to "take it to 'em."
"We weren't going to change in 30 minutes yesterday how we're going to play" Self said.
They didn't, staying with their attacking style that had brought
the team from Big 12 underdog to the Monday night game in April. Kentucky's defense proved to be too much, however, even with another second half run.
"Nobody in America can simulate length like that," Self said. "It's hard to score over length, but that's who we are."
That late run gave the lajhawks a glimmer of hope, but a Tyshawn Taylor errant pass and traveling violation from Johnson — caused by Davis — sealed the deal.
"They locked in for those last four minutes," Johnson said. "They deserved it."

On the heels of a Big 12 Tournament semifinal loss to Baylor on March 10, the Jayhawks (27-6, 16-2) entered the 68-team NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest region on March 11, also known as "Selection Sunday." Their first match was scheduled for that Friday against No. 15 seed Detroit (22-13, 11-7) of the Horizon League in Omaha, Neb. Senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor felt the Jayhawks got a raw deal. "Should be a No. 1 seed, but we're cool with that No. 2 seed," Taylor said.

BORDER WAR RIVAL OUSTED IN FIRST GAME
When conference rival and Big 12 Tournament champion Mizzou lost in their first game against No. 15 seed Norfolk State, 86-84, Kansas coach Bill Self used it as a teachable moment. "It gives everybody a slap in the face that this thing can happen," Kansas coach Bill Self said. No. 2 seed Duke also fell to a No. 15 seed, Lehigh, 75-70.

In a sign of things to come for the rest of the tournament, the Jayhawks advanced to the round of 32 with stifling defense. The Titans had an early 23-21 edge, but the Jayhawks would use a 34-7 run to advance to the next round. "It was kill or be killed," said junior guard Elijah Johnson. Johnson finished 6-for-8 with 15 points.

For the second consecutive game, the lajhawks trailed at the half, this time 33-32. And for the second consecutive game, the team escaped with a three-point win. The Kansas defense shined again, holding the Wolfpack to 28.4 percent shooting, but it was never easy for the lajhawks. Taylor was only 2-for-14 from the field and 0-for-6 from three-point range. It took a double-double from Robinson and a career-high 10 blocks from junior center Jeff Withey to advance. "If he didn't block it, he altered it seemed like every one of them. I thought he stepped up and played extremely well."

Purdue seemed to disrupt the Jayhawks by double-, triple- and even quadruple-teaming junior forward Thomas Robinson at times. It hampered the Kansas offense, who shot only 33.9 percent from the field. "If people want to double him, which naturally they could, then you've got to be good enough behind that to make plays," Self said of the double teaming. The Jayhawks advanced, though, going from Omaha to St. Louis, Mo., for the second weekend and a matchup with the surprising North Carolina State Wolfpack.

In a sign of things to come for the rest of the tournament, the Jayhawks advanced to the round of 32 with stifling defense. The Titans had an early 23-21 edge, but the Jayhawks would use a 34-7 run to advance to the next round. "It was kill or be killed," said junior guard Elijah Johnson. Johnson finished 6-for-8 with 15 points.
The Jayhawks exercised demons and bitter feelings in 2008 when they tipped former coach Roy Williams and his North Carolina Tar Heels in the Final Four, but the awkward matchup would reappear in this team's 2012 run. But the players were more focused on their on-court assignments than the off-court drama. "We've got to be a tough defensive team and we've got to stop other guys from scoring," Taylor said. "I think thats won us the last two games that we've played because we haven't shot the ball too good."

NO. 2 KANSAS 80, NO. 1 NORTH CAROLINA 67
Kansas advanced to the Final Four in what would become known as the triangle-and-two game. The defensive scheme was deployed by Self for the last 10 minutes of the game, and the Tar Heels made only one field goal in the game's final eight minutes. Williams seemed to indicate after the game that he thought the Jayhawks only played the triangle-and-two for one or two possessions." We were able to keep the ball out of their bigs hands and take away their two shooters," Self said. "And the thing about it is, you got to rebound out of it. And you know, they're a great rebounding team, but I thought we rebounded the ball as well as we have in a long time." The Jayhawks advanced to their 14th Final Four.

RETURN TO THE PHOG
Only hours after bouncing the Tar Heels from the tournament in St. Louis, the Jayhawks returned to Lawrence and Allen Fieldhouse to celebrate their Final Four appearance. After nearly a two-hour wait inside Allen Fieldhouse, the moment the Jayhawk faithful had been waiting for finally arrived. At 12:45 a.m., the men's basketball team arrived and took its place on James Naismith Court in front of more than 8,000 screaming fans. "It's been a long season, but we're not done yet," Taylor said. "We're going to go try to get some more wins for y'all. We're going to try to have an even bigger celebration on Tuesday after we come back from New Orleans."

MANNING MOVES ON
Assistant coach and big man specialist Danny Manning officially announced he was leaving Lawrence to fill the head coaching vacancy at Tulsa on March 29. "It shows that if we keep on winning it opens a lot of opportunities for everybody," Withey said. "It's awesome for both of them. It's not a distraction by any means."

TICKET PANIC IN NEW ORLEANS
The chaos began early in the morning on March 30 when students from all four universities lined up, hoping to get a floor seat to the two Final Four games. A metal barrier separated each school, and everything was calm, until security guards told the students they weren't supposed to be in the garage at all. That's when panic broke out. Students said they stamped outside of the garage, hoping to keep their spot at the front of the line. Before things could settle down, the students were instructed to return to their original place inside the parking garage, creating the morning's second mob. "It was like running of the bulls with drunk college students," one Louisville student said.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
The Kansas Jayhawks were never supposed to be in this situation, fighting for a national title. The season was as much of a "Cinderella" season the Jayhawk team could have, especially after going 32-7 and winning their eight straight Big 12 title. But they went up against the best team in the country in the Kentucky Wildcats. They were outmatched for most of the game and once again, a slow start plagued the Jayhawks. They fell behind 14 at the half and the lead grew to as big as 16 in the second half for the Wildcats. The Jayhawks made it close down the stretch, and it looked like they would pull off yet another amazing comeback when they closed the gap down to five with 1-11 left in the game. But a turnover and missed shots doomed the Jayhawks. They played better than a lot of people thought they would, but it just wasn't enough. Though this season didn't end how the Jayhawks would have liked, they can still hold their heads up and realize what they accomplished during this season once the initial emotions wear off.

Releford had the dawning task of trying to cover Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for much of the night and did a good job. He held him to 11 points on the night. Releford exhorted a lot of effort on the defensive side of the ball, fighting through and over screens and it possibly effected his shot on the offensive side. He went just 1-of-6 for four points. Having to guard one of the best players in the country, Releford found himself in foul trouble and fouled out in the final minute of the game.

In the last game Tyshawn Taylor will ever don the crimson and blue uniform, he played his heart out. He had his shining moments and his down moments, but in the end, he played a decent game. He had to play defense constantly trying to slow down one of many Kentucky Wildcat guards and then had to try and get some offense going. He managed to get it going, especially late in the second half. He went to finish with 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting and finally hit his first three of the tournament. He pulled down four rebounds and had three assists on the game. But he also had five turnovers as well.

CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
You look at the numbers for Robinson, 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting and he grabbed 17 rebounds, and you would think he had a stellar game. But that wasn't necessarily the case. He was harassed by Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis all night long and had to fight for everything he had. In what was possibly his last night of being a Jayhawk as well, Robinson went out with the kind of effort that has become expected of him. He missed some layups and dunks that he would normally make against other opponents, but the size of the Wildcat's front court caused him to rush and miss those opportunities.

Looking at liberals and conservatives
Your political views may say more about your personality than just who you will vote for in the next election, according to a study conducted at the University. Tien-Tsung Lee, professor of strategic communication, looked at how liberals and conservatives compare in their happiness, religious beliefs, curiosity and need for structure.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
HALO
Maples
Haberstock
"The most interesting findings were
KAYLA HUNTER
that neither groups are happier, but liberals were more trusting of people who are different than them," Lee said.
Lee found that liberals were more open to foreign cultures, music and foods.
By contrast, conservatives tend to be more optimistic and religious than liberals, the study found. Lee said he was surprised to find that both groups relied on a similar amount of structure and organization in their lives.
Lee used a survey of more than 7,000 people conducted by an advertising agency for the study. Lee hopes to expand the research in the future by talking and observing people to people, rather than relying on only survey data.
Jessica Haberstock, a junior
from St. Louis, Mo., considers herself to be liberal but not religious. She said her lifestyle is dependent on her core beliefs.
Haberstock considers herself laid-back, less-structured and open to new ideas.
She also guessed that half of KU students were liberal while the other half were conservative, and while some students change their beliefs during their college years, Haberstock thought most are set in their beliefs after freshman year.
"Because I don't have religious beliefs that guide my political standpoints, I determine them for myself." Haberstock said.
Hayden Maples, a junior from Olathe, said he considers himself moderately conservative and religious and attends church every Sunday. Maples also thought of himself as happy and morally strict.
"I think openness depends on how you were raised rather than political beliefs," Haberstock said.
"I'm very conscious of how other people view my actions in light of my Christianity," Maples said.
Maples agreed with the study that Christians would more likely lean toward being conservative but said that making sweeping generalizations about lifestyle and political views was difficult to do.
"I don't know that you can necessarily look at a person's actions and determine what political stance they hold, especially in college," Maples said.

Changes to the Student Senate Budget Code, to be voted upon at tonight's Senate meeting, will help allocate student fees more efficiently to student organizations.
CRYPTOQUIPS 4
OPINION 5
Last Wednesday, the Student Senate finance committee approved the changes, which aim to update the code while keeping the original intent of the rules. Several months were spent on the changes. The biggest changes include clarifying rules for funding of newsletters, events in which professors offer extra credit, advertising in The Kansan and organizations that aren't open to all students.
Senate changed wording in the code that applied to events that professors may give academic credit to students for attending. The original wording, which said that Student Senate could not provide funding for "any corporation, organization or group whose members receive or give academic credit for participation," was changed so that Student Senate could not fund any "corporation, organization, group or activity whose primary purpose
"Basically the intent was to bring things in line with our current process," Josh Dean, the finance committee chair, said. "It was removing rules that didn't make any sense. We have restructured the unstructured parts."
is for members to give or receive academic credit." This change in wording is based on the assumption that professors often have students attend events that are not directly affiliated with their course.
Other revisions included writing Senate rules that are already practiced but not written in the code, such as a rule that allows Student Senate to fund newsletters and events. The creation of the Student Senate Advertising Program allows student organizations to advertise in The Kansan for free, since Senate can't allocate student funds to advertise in The Kansan.
Some finance committee members unsuccessfully attempted to add another change at last week's meeting that would have allowed Senate to fund events open to all students, even if the organization hosting the event was not open to all students.
This change was sparked by Senate's decision to not approve the homecoming steering committee's request for $2,300 on Feb. 29, because the organization wasn't open to all students. Senate cited its policy: "No funds from student fees shall be allocated or apportioned to any corporation, organization, or group that is not open de facto to all University of Kansas students."

code changes, the homecoming steering committee would have been eligible to receive student funding.
Dean, author of the bill amending the budget code, supported the finance committee's decision to rule against adding this change.
"It's OK to have a group where you elect a committee that's in charge of bringing in the speaker," said Mark Pacey, a graduate senator and co-sponsor of the bill. "But if there's no way for anyone to come on to even get elected to that group to plan the speaker, that's a problem."

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney is halfway to clinching the Republican nomination for president.
In last week's story about School of Law's slide in the national rankings, a student was quoted saying the KU law school was one of only two law schools in the U.S. to see an increase in applicants. But the communications director of the law school said the University is now one of 14 schools to see an increase of at least 10 percent. The student's quote
The former Massachusetts governor inched up to 572 delegates on Monday — exactly half the 1,144 needed — after the Tennessee Republican Party finalized delegate totals from its March 6 primary. Results in several congressional districts were too close to call on election night, leaving three delegates unallocated.
Romney got all three delegates. He also picked up an endorsement from a New Hampshire delegate who had been awarded to former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman. Huntsman dropped out of the race in January and endorsed Romney.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, meanwhile, won a Minnesota delegate over the weekend that had been allocated to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Santorum won two delegates and Paul won one at Minnesota's 7th Congressional District convention.
Santorum had been projected to win all three delegates, based on the results of local caucuses in February.
CORRECTION
count for weeks. Romney's campaign says there is no way for Santorum to reach the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination, portraying the race as all but over. Santorum's campaign says Romney's numbers are inflated, raising the prospect of a contested convention in August.
Romney has won 54 percent of the primary and caucus delegates so far, putting him on pace to clinch the nomination in June. Romney could substantially add to his lead Tuesday, when 95 delegates will be at stake in three primaries, in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
According to the Associated Press tally, Romney has more than twice as many delegates as Santorum. Santorum has 272 delegates, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 135 and Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 51.
Also, law school officials said that changes to the department were made based on economic conditions, not due to a slide in the rankings. The story was edited to reflect this.
Tuesday's contests mark the midway point in the race for delegates. A total of 2,286 delegates are slated to attend the party's national convention in Tampa, Fla. — 2,169 will be selected through primaries, caucuses and state conventions, while 117 are members of the Republican National Committee; free to support any candidate they choose.

A volunteer from the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) pets a pit bull, one of more than 200 rescued from South Korean nationals at a coffee farm lot in San Pablo city, Laguna province, south of Manila, Philippines, on Tuesday. Dozens of pit bulls rescued from a dogfighting ring will be put down starting Tuesday by the animal welfare activists, who said there are no facilities to rehabilitate them and prevent them from again being used in underground arenas.
Pit bulls rescued from dogfighting ring in the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines At least nine pit bulls rescued from a dogfighting ring in the Philippines were euthanized Tuesday and dozens more are likely to be because there are no facilities to rehabilitate them and prevent them from reappearing in underground arenas.
Roughly 300 dogs were rescued in separate raids late Friday in Laguna province south of Manilia, said Anna Cabrera of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society.
Seventeen with the worst injuries were put down over the weekend, and the health of the living dogs and the progress of rehabilitating them will determine how many of them ultimately
survive.
Police arrested eight South Koreans suspected of running an illegal online gambling operation in which players outside the Philippines bet on dogs fighting at a clandestine compound.
Some of the dogs rescued Friday were saved from another facility in Cavite province in December, Cabrera said. She said the dogs were "recycled" adopted by people who resold them to the suspects to continue fighting.
"That is a fate worse than death," she said.
Two of the suspects arrested last week had been caught in the December raid but had posted bail, police Chief Inspector Renate Galang said.
He said his group had enough drugs to euthane 70 dogs, and had put down at least nine Tuesday afternoon with 13 more planned before they finish later in the evening.
Welfare society veterinarian Wilford Almora said many of the pit bulls — purebred and mixed breeds — suffered ripped ears and tongues and other wounds in previous fights.
He said they selected the most sick, emaciated and aggressive animals to put down first. Some of the dogs were too weak to stand, he said.

Israel delays evacuation of Jewish settlers from West Bank
JERUSALEM — Israel's prime minister said Tuesday he has ordered a delay in the planned evacuation of Jewish settlers from a building they occupied in the West Bank, putting off a potentially violent standoff with Israeli security forces.
The settlers had been ordered to evacuate the building in the volatile West Bank city of Hebron by Tuesday afternoon.
But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he told his defense minister, who oversees policy in the occupied West Bank, to put the evictions on hold while a legal review is
conducted.
The settlers took over the house in Hebron in an overnight operation last week. The military ordered them to leave by Tuesday afternoon because they did not have the required permission to move in.
"I am coordinated with the minister of defense. I asked him last night to wait with the eviction so we could check the facts, both legally and on the ground, and that is what we will do." Netanyahu told a news conference. He gave no indication how long that would take.
The deadline passed without any
action, and the settlers remained inside the building.
"Netanyahu's apparent support for these settlers' move is another proof that (his) priority is consolidating the occupation rather than negotiating its end," said Palestinian spokesman Ghassan Khatib. "Such attitude and behavior poses a serious challenge that the international community needs to deal with."
The Palestinians, backed by the international community, say the settlements are illegal and make it ever more difficult to establish their independent state.

Nigerian president criticized for use of soldiers in peaceful protest
LAGOS, Nigeria — Lawyers argued Tuesday whether Nigeria's president had the power to use heavily armed soldiers and armored tanks to stop a massive protest this January in the nation's largest city over spiraling gasoline prices.
The lawsuit brought by the Save Nigeria Group could be the strongest judicial test to presidential power in a nation long run by iron-fisted military rulers. The group said the government quashed the freedom of speech constitutionally guaranteed in this young democracy.
In its lawsuit, the Save Nigeria Group asks for $625,000 in damages and an injunction stopping President Goodluck Jonathan from using the military to halt future peaceful protests. At a court hearing Tuesday in Lagos, Adebayo told Justice Steven Adah that ruling in favor of the suit would "strengthen our democracy."
Protests began in Nigeria after Jonathan's administration announced Jan. 1 the removal of popular subsidies on gasoline that keep prices low in the oil-rich nation. Overnight, the price at the pump jumped from 45 cents per liter ($1.70 per gallon) to at least 94 cents per liter ($3.50 per gallon).
Labor and trade unions announced a nationwide strike that paralyzed business and daily life throughout the country. The government's decision sparked rage as Nigerians as a whole view low gasoline prices as the only benefit the average citizen sees from the nation producing about 2.4 million barrels of oil a day. After a six-day strike, Jonathan announced a new, partially subsidized price of 60 cents a liter ($2.27 a gallon) to ensure the protests stopped. The president deployed soldiers into Lagos and other areas in the country who blocked
demonstrators and at times fired fire ammunition and tear gas at them.
At Jonathan's order, soldiers swarmed the park with armored tanks, turning away and threatening those who attempted to protest. The troops only left the park, a neatly pruned grass strip along a major highway and at the foot of the city's massive garbage dump, weeks later.
The move by Jonathan to put soldiers on the street represented the first time that a leader massively deployed soldiers on the streets across major cities since the nation became a democracy in 1999. For Adebayo, that's why the lawsuit remains so important to Nigeria's nascent democracy.
Justice Adaah said he expects to rule on the lawsuit May 24.
"We believe the court is still the last bastion of hope for the common man," he said.

White House attorney inspires ABC drama
LOS ANGELES — Judy Smith was there when White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Chief Justice Clarence Thomas, quarterback Michael Vick and Idaho senator Larry Craig found themselves in the middle of major crises. The attorney and author is a crisis-management expert who's mediated so many high-profile cases — such as the Iran-Contra investigation — her career has inspired the new ABC drama "Scandal."
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
In the series, starring Kerry Washington as the Smith-inspired Olivia Pope, deals with high-profile problems that range from keeping the
client list of a Washington D.C. madam under wraps to a scandal surrounding the president. Her tactics are cold, calculated and effective.
Smith said dealing with a crisis is a matter of coming up with a good strategy — whether or not it's a popular solution.
"At the end of the day, I play to win and otherwise I wouldn't be good at my job," Smith said. "I'm also not a person that sort of talks around an issue."

'HIMYM' star to host Tony Awards again
AWARD SHOWS
LOS ANGELES — Neal Patrick Harris will host Broadway's biggest night for the third time, organizers of the Tony Awards announced on Tuesday. The award show is scheduled to take place June 10 at the Beacon Theatre in New York and will be broadcast live on CBS, with a delay for the West Coast.
Harris has proved a popular choice for the Tonys, but will the "How I Met My Mother" actor, who hosted last year's Tonys as well as the 2009 ceremony, be able to reverse the show's declining TV viewport of the last three years?
Last year, the tonys faced tough competition from the NBA Finals, which aired on ABC.

Chase
LOS ANGELS — It's still an unanswered question whether or not NBC's "Community"
On the voicemail, posted on TMZ, Chase lets loose with
the snow even if it does return.
Based on Chase's feelings about show creator Dan Harmon in a voicemail posted on various websites last week, it's apparent that there's not a lot of hugs going around.
According to reports, the phone call stemmed from an incident at the show's third season wrap party in which Harmon reportedly dressed Chase down in front of the cast, crew and the actor's wife and daughter.
a string of not-safe-for-NBC language describing his talent and his script as "an abomination, and your writing is getting worse and worse." (That's the part that's printable. The rest is available for listen at TMZ, though beware foul language.)
"I don't get talked to like that in front of anybody, certainly not in front of my wife and daughter," Chase said.
Chase has had more than his share of feuds in the course of his career. There's all the not-so-nice things pretty much anyone associated with "Saturday Night
Live" has had to say about him over the years. And there's the infamous Chevy Chase roast that's notable for being one of the meanest events in that institution's long history.
But Harmon himself isn't a stranger to behind-the-scenes conflict. As the writer told Marc Maron on his podcast last year, he left "The Sarah Silverman Program" before it ever aired over conflicts with the show's star.
The writer spent much time dealing with fans on Twitter taking him to task for his reported wrap party behavior.
David Fischer wrote, "Nothing warrants what you did to Chevy in front of his wife and daughter."

MOVIES
The odds are in your favor that you have heard something about the phenomenon known as "The Hunger Games," a dystopic novel-turned-movie adaption filling movie theaters and prompting reading marathons across the world.
The plight of Katniss Everdeen is pretty well-known: the United States has been replaced by a country known as Panem, with a totalitarian government that has broken the country into 12 districts and randomly chooses a boy and a girl from each to represent their district in the yearly Hunger Games. Only one of the 24 children makes it out alive.
Katniss's younger sister, Primrose, is chosen for the Games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place. The story is rich
with Katniss's inner monologue, one that is constantly examining this society structured around entertaining its citizens with an extremely morbid version of a reality TV show. The motif of being monitored and controlled isn't new ("1984") and neither is the around-the-clock reality show approach ("The Truman Show"), but "The Hunger Games" is an interesting case.
The function of dystopic novels is often interpreted as one that alerts readers to the pieces that make their own society tick and not so much as a warning to what may occur in the future. And, naturally, the popularity of this series has given us a lens through which we can examine the pieces that define entertainment in today's society.

we continue down some arbitrary trajectory that was societally constructed.
Our obsession with the idea of celebrity and manufactured storylines making up exhibitionist "reality TV" is put under a microscope. We can look at game shows we watch constantly — such as "Survivor," "The Bachelor," and "Big Brother" — that pretend to be honest with their viewers about what happens in the footage they choose not to show in a new way.
Suzanne Collins, the author of these books, claims to be neither a prognosticator nor clairvoyant. But the manner in which she has written the books and the attention they have received on such a large scale means we have an opportunity to understand a little bit more about how our lives are structured today.
We can understand a little more

about how 24-hour news channels operate by sensationalizing stories while reporting them to death. Our class system, cleanly defined and often ignorantly discounted, is made a little clearer.
At the same time, this futuristic society, which has citizens who see these Games as pure entertainment, shows us a lot about the extent of desensitization. No censorship is good, but sitting on the edge of your seat while watching 12-year-old children kill each other on national television does seem a bit extreme. With a spectrum created by the series' popularity, we can place ourselves on that spectrum to gauge just how desensitized we really are.
But, as I said, there is absolutely no one saying that something like this will eventually happen as

'Zumba' workout routine enjoyable awkward at first
I consider myself a fairly healthy and physically active person. I'm no Ironman, and the last coordinated team sport I did was pee-wee soccer, where I spent my time making daisy chains on the sidelines, but I like to be active. I work out five to six times a week, running, practicing yoga or doing Pilates. I enjoy physical exertion , and I'm always looking for ways to get a better workout.
So on a recent Sunday evening, when a dear friend of mine asked me on a whim if I'd go with her to a Zumba class, I said yes. I'd heard Zumba was an intensive cardio workout, but also highly enjoyable. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, my friend and I went to the Zumba class with light hearts, ready to share in a new experience.
The instructor clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "Good job! Now let's move on to the next." My eyes swung to meet my friend's and then swerved to the clock. We were five minutes into the class.
The next hour I exuded all the grace of a drugged hippopotamus. Not only was I unable to get most of the moves right, but, since I was also confined in a room lined with mirrors on two sides, I saw my image reflected back at me - a bespectacled, blob of tie-dye T-shirt, with a sad, limp ponytail, hobbling like an amputated platypus. (The
Let me be specific—I loathed Zumba. It was an hour-long descent into my own personal version of hell, except with more spandex than expected.
I hated Zumba.
It started out well- nough—class filled up fairly quickly, and the instructor came in, as peppy as I had come in feeling. She began the class by asking if anyone had never been to Zumba before. Timidly, my friend and I raised our hands, the sole admitters to naiveté in the room. The instructor smiled, and reassured us that it would be fine, explaining how wed be doing multiple "dance routines" and before each one she'd break down the moves wed be doing. Seemed simple enough.
The movement started off in a flurry, and I found myself scrambling from the get-go to try to follow along. I floundered through the steps, trying to execute the movements with the same precision as the instructor and found myself quickly learning something I should have considered before coming to a dance class: I really can't dance.
Uncoordinated but persistent. I gave my full energy to each step, and, finally at the end of the sequence, found myself out of breath and sweating. It was unpleasant, but I'd survived, right?
The music began, and so did my descent to the inferno.

awkward animal analogy goes a long way.)
In the past, I had often gone for hour-long runs, intense yoga sessions. Pilates sequences—workouts where I was in control and grounded, and, I liked to imagine, powerful, strong and graceful.
My sweat, tears, and perhaps blood mingled together around me in a pool of despair.
The universe took pity on me, and eventually the class ended. I exited the room with far less dignity and body-water-content than I had entered it. My friend and I joined in a commiserating bash session, discussing how frustrating the class had been, how dumb we had felt, how we never wanted to do squats in rhythm to a song where the chorus commanded us to "booty-pop," ever again. No zumba for us, we agreed.
But, I'm going back to the Zumba class.
ELECTION 2012
Despite how much I disliked the class during and immediately after, the next day when I woke up sore and feeling those "shimmy shimmy jumps," I was forced to admit it was a very effective workout. It was then that I started to reflect on exactly what had made me dislike Zumba.
I typically go for structured, intensive workouts, and Zumba threw me for a loop because of its inherently light-hearted nature. I don't like fun workouts, I guess. I probably need to work on loosening up, on not taking myself so seriously when it comes to physical fitness.
I think our society tends to feel as if we need to punish ourselves to be healthy—as if a healthy lifestyle is a one of constant sacrifice. But working out and health can, and should, be enjoyable. We shouldn't beat ourselves up if we're not quite as good as the instructor, or if we're not running as fast as the girl on the treadmill next to us. It's okay not to be in complete control.
I'll be back in that Zumba class, swiveling my hips and seeing my uncoordinated form reflected back at me, but maybe this time I'll be able to laugh instead of grimace.

U.S. 2012 presidential election affects countries on global scale
The Pew Research Center conducted a survey last fall asking Americans to name the current GOP candidates for the president of the United States. The result? 47 percent couldn't name a single candidate. So it's probably safe to assume that most people here don't know that Russia just finished its presidential election or that France will conduct its election later this month. You can't blame us for not being informed; our media is heavily America-centric.
By Greg Loving
gloving@kansan.com
But you can bet that the rest of the world is closely monitoring the buildup to our 2012 presidential election. While it's doubtful that most Americans could name French president Nicolas Sarkozy's primary rival (François Hollande), European newspapers often report on "funny" names such as Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney.
The reason that the world follows our election so closely, despite our indifference, is the U.S. still occupies a unique position of international prominence in the world. As such, decisions made—or not made—here can have a profound effect upon people from Rio de Janeiro to Jerusalem. So, an election here that reorients U.S. foreign policy could cause significant consequences for our allies and foes alike.
This election cycle is not unique in its international appeal. In fact, at one point during the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama's largest audience to date gathered in Berlin, Germany — a crowd of more than 200,000 people. During that election, Europe and much of the international community disliked George W. Bush and quickly became enamored with Obama's rock star-like persona and idealistic visions for a new America.
Today,just as in America,Obama has lost some of his luster with the international community,as he has not been able to bring about the "transformational" change that he promised.Accordingly,the world is watching with renewed interest as a new slate of challengers offer their views for the future of American power.
Take the examples I mentioned earlier—Rio de Janeiro and Jerusalem—each citizenry has a unique interest in our upcoming election.
Brazil's economy is highly interlinked with ours because of trade relationships. Furthermore, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, Brazil is the fourth-largest creditor of the United States. So, Brazilians have a shared interest in the recovery of the U.S. economy. The GOP has made the economy one of its primary campaign focuses. In particular, Mitt Romney's support of free trade aligns well with the interests of the Brazilian economy. The fact that we are having this discussion in the United States has the potential to affect the people of Brazil.
A perennially touchy issue in
U. S. presidential elections is our support for Israel. The United States has historically vowed to support Israel, particularly with regard to military issues. Currently, there is growing concern of a potential altercation between Israel and Iran over the issue of Tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. This is a serious issue for Israeli citizens because Iran has publically vowed to "wipe Israel off the map".
If armed conflict were to occur, the U.S. would likely be dragged in to support our Israeli allies. On this particular issue, the GOP position tends to be more "hawkish" (i.e. in favor of military action against Iran). On the other side, some have criticized Obama's diplomatic relations with Israel, which have deteriorated since he took office. Furthermore, some have viewed Obama's stance toward Iran as too soft.
In either example, it is easy to see how policy changes in the U.S. could have a significant affect on other countries. And these examples are but a few of the great number of reasons why the world is watching election 2012 in America. Whether it be animosity towards Romney in China or Obama's support in Western Europe (in particular, Scandinavians love Obama), people throughout the world have different reasons to pay attention to the process. However, one view is uniform among those looking in: The decision we make at the ballot box in November will have far-reaching consequences.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
Candidate recognizes students interests, needs
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
An open forum for students to meet a potential new student affairs administrator drew little attendance Monday night.
But students will have another opportunity Friday.
Two of the students represented Student Senate, and two others came from the Alternative Spring Breaks organization.
Only five students, including student body president Libby Johnson, attended the open forum Monday with a candidate for the position of vice provost of student affairs.
The department of student affairs promotes health programs and activities such as the student lecture series. For example, Wednesday's events include the KU Smokeout, an anti-smoking event, and a lecture by ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen.
The candidate, Beth Hellwig, is
the current vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She talked about her relationships with students, the value she places on diversity, and 36 years of higher education experience in her presentation in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union.
"Students are at the center of all we do," Hellwig said.
Hellwig spoke about student groups she has mentored. She emphasized her interest in supporting social justice and inclusiveness, especially for foreign and LGBT students.
Johnson asked Hellwig how she would balance her roles as student advocate and administrator.
"I think my role is to interpret from the students to the administration," Hellwig said and added that she would likely side with students 90 percent of the time.
Hellwig said she would enjoy making the jump from her current
university of 11,000 students to the University, which has almost 30,000 students.
"I'm very excited about the University of Kansas," Hellwig said. "From
what I've heard, this is a wonderful place"
Hellwig said she was interested in working with the University's graduate and doctoral programs, and would want to teach leadership
classes if given the opportunity.
class is given the opportunity.
"I believe I can bring some wonderful ideas to the table." Hellwig said.
Johnson said she thought preparation for the men's basketball championship in New Orleans was likely a cause of the low turnout at the event.
"What we need is a candidate who will go out on campus and take an interest in things that students are interested in.
"I would love to see more students
at the student interactions because it's an opportunity for them to learn about the candidates" Johnson said.
Johnson said she was still impressed by the forum and looked

forward to the rest of the selection process.
"What we need is a candidate who will go out on campus and take an interest in things that students are interested in," Johnson said.
Students' next opportunity to meet a candidate for the vice provost of student success position will be on Friday, in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Championship celebration turns destructive in Lexington
TWIST
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kentucky fans cheer as they watch television coverage of the NCAA men's college basketball tournament Final Four title game in New Orleans against Kansas.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — One man was wounded by gunfire early Tuesday in Lexington, numerous small fires were set and dozens were arrested as thousands celebrated Kentucky's win over Kansas to claim another NCAA title, authorities reported.
Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the Lexington Division of Fire and Emergency Services said he saw the shooting as he was filling out paperwork on a wreck involving a fire engine. Davis said he heard yelling about 25 feet away, and one man started shooting at another. He said the gun was fired "quite a few times."
Police Lt. Clayton Roberts said no arrests had been made in the shooting, which happened shortly after 2 a.m. EDT. The gunman disappeared into the crowd and
behind some buildings and police could not locate him, Roberts said.
The wounded man, who is in his 30s, was taken to University of Kentucky Medical Center with serious injuries that weren't believed to be life-threatening. Roberts said.
The shooting happened after some people inside a vehicle had words with others who were standing on a sidewalk, Roberts said. He said the people in the car got out, and a person on the sidewalk opened fire with a handgun, hitting a man from the vehicle.
Fans filled the streets near the Lexington campus within minutes of the championship game's conclusion late Monday. They jumped up and down, screamed, sprayed beer and waved Kentucky flags.
Lexington police had arrested several dozen people by the time the game had been over only a few minutes, police spokeswoman
Sherelle Roberts said late Monday.
"We're seeing fires being lit and things of that nature," Roberts said, adding that people had set couches and at least one car on fire.
A car crashed into the patio area at a bar and grill where some people were dining, but the metal-and-brick wall kept the vehicle from getting onto the patio, she said. She didn't have information about injuries.
Police had also handed out numerous citations, many for alcohol-related offences, Roberts said.
"I think that we're taking a more zero-tolerance approach," she said. "That has a part to play in it, but also people started celebrating much earlier than they did on Saturday. The amount of time to be intoxicated and the amount of time for us to be in contact with these intoxicated people has increased."
About two hours after the game, Roberts said police had arrested people for charges such as criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, alcohol intoxication and setting fires. She said officers were still making arrests but didn't have a precise estimate. She said police had used some pepper spray to break up fights.
The fire division's Davis said about 56 fire runs had been made in the area where fans had gathered. One was a garage fire, but the rest were smaller nuisance fires involving couches or bedding, he said. Davis knew of no fire-related injuries.
Emergency medical workers transported about 25 people to hospitals for treatment, mostly minor, he said. A lot of them were people who were intoxicated, while some had been hit by thrown objects or been involved in fights, Davis said.

Storms flatten property near Texas interstate
Two 'large and extremely dangerous' tornadoes damage property, vehicles in south Dallas County neighborhoods
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Several reported tornadoes tore through the Dallas area on Tuesday, tossing semis in the air and leaving crumpled tractor trailers strewn along highways and in truck stop parking lots.
The National Weather Service reported at least two separate "large and extremely dangerous"
tornadoes south of Dallas and Fort Worth. Dallas Police spokeswoman Sherri Jeffrey said an apparent twister touched down and caused damage within the city's southern limits.
Officials had no immediate information about injuries.
Local television footage showed a large, dark funnel cloud moving on the ground not far from
a major interstate early Tuesday afternoon. Crumpled orange tractor trailers were later visible in a Dallas County parking lot, as well as flattened trailers along the sides of highways and access roads.
The weather service said "considerable damage" also was reported near Cleburne, south of Fort Worth, and Lancaster, south of Dallas.

Coach encourages players to make up for errors
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — A freshman playing center field is bound to make mistakes, but it's how the player reacts that will determine whether those mistakes last the full nine innings.
And Dakota Smith started off rough in the game against Creighton. Smith had a chance to end the first inning after the Jays had runners on second and third with two outs.
Creighton's senior catcher Scott Thornburg came to the plate trying to give his Jays the early lead.
He took a 0-1 pitch and popped it up to center field. Smith had his eyes and glove on the easy pop fly, but it fell out of his glove and hit the grass in the outfield. The drop led to two runs for the fays.
"Honestly, I thought I was there. I just missed it," Smith said. "I haven't done that in a very long time."
Smith's mishap left the the Jayhawks in a hole, but he would get his chance to make up for his error.
In the third inning, after a lead-off double by senior third baseman Zac Elgie, Smith came to bat and cracked a foul ball. On
the next pitch, Smith shot a single into left center field and Elgie came around to score.
With that, Smith made up for half of what his error cost the team. Then, after a sacrifice bunt and a single, Smith stood on third base, 90 feet from home. For the second time in the inning, coach Ritch Price called for a sacrifice bunt. Sophomore second baseman Kaiana Eldredge placed the bunt down the first baseline, far enough to allow Smith to score.
"It felt pretty good, I knew I had to redeem myself". Smith said.
Price knows mistakes happen,
but he said dropping a ball in the
outfield doesn't happen all that much. He also said that he tells his team that when they make a bad play, they need to find a way to make a positive influence on the game and not let the error determine the entire game's outcome.
"When he came back later in the game and helps us to cut into the deficit and tie it up, that's what you're hoping for," Price said. "When you make a mistake, you try to do something positive to redeem yourself."
Creighton still managed to win 7-3 over Kansas.

THE MORNING BREW Highlights from Jayhawks' season outshine loss
It's 193 days until the roller coaster begins all over again. Even though the final game ended not quite as we expected on Monday night, the men's basketball season as a whole was a victory.
Teams, players, coaches and fans start placing their predictions for March Madness in October, six months before it actually begins. Analysts predict which teams will reach the Final Four and who will win awards. It all culminates in one weekend, when four teams face off in the ultimate showdown.
By Tanvi Nimkar
tnimkar@kansan.com
No doubt about it — these six months have been incredible, especially watching the Jayhawks make it all the way to the National Championship. As a fan, watching Kansas games usually results in a heart attack, but it also teaches adversity. The number of times the team came back throughout the season to claim the lead and win is unbelievable.
These repeated feats show mental
toughness, confidence and the will to persevere. It's easy to give up mentally when situations get tough. It's hard to look past the short-term losses and look forward. It's hard to believe that it's possible. These are life lessons that the players learned and showed the nation this season. It's also something to keep in our minds as we make our way to the end of the semester.
Kansas proved that what people say is just what people say. It has little effect
on what happens unless we let it affect us.
Here's a little recap of Kansas' amazing season:
1. Kansas won its eighth-straight Big 12 Conference Title.
2. Kansas beat Missouri in the last Border Showdown in Allen Fieldhouse.
3. Kansas played three Top 10 teams before the conference season started: Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State.
4. Kansas beat North Carolina in the Midwest regional to advance to the Final Four.
6. Jeff Withey set an NCAA record, with 31 blocks in the tournament.
5. Kansas beat Ohio State, again, to advance to the Championship game.
KU
9. Kansas women's and men's basketball teams both made it to the Sweet 16.
7. Bill Self won the Naismith Coach of the Year award.
8. Thomas Robinson was named Big 12 Player of the Year.
And the list goes on.
We have some time to recover from the madness,but I want to personally thank the team for an amazing season. We are Kansas.

S
In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year, Self took this team to the National Championship, capping a 32-victory season. That's not too bad for a "down year," if you ask me.
The 2012 jayhawks were neither the deepest nor the most talented club Bill Self has seen in his time at Kansas. In fact, they're probably the least talented, but when it's all said and done, I would take this year's team over the previous two in a heartbeat.
COMMENTARY
With just one returning starter in Tyshawn Taylor and a role-playerturned-superstar in Thomas Robinson, this Kansas team achieved what nobody thought was possible before the season. When the Jayhawks fell to Davidson on Dec. 19 in Kansas City, many pundits questioned whether Kansas could make the NCAA Tournament this year, much less win a Big 12 title.
The only problem was that this Kentucky team was a true college basketball power, featuring an unselfish collection of NBA-caliber talent.
Much more than expected
No, Kansas didn't get to cut down the nets in New Orleans, but the Jayhawks played like champions even in defeat. So, although there will not be a new championship banner in Allen Fieldhouse next season, Kansas fans have great reason to be proud.

When the final buzzer sounded at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the realization that the best Kansas team since 2008 had played its last game instantly hit me - yes, the best.
Whether it was the 19-point comeback against Missouri, or the series of come-from-behind wins in the NCAA Tournament, the Jayhawks bought into what Self had preached all season long.
Three months ago, very few Kansas fans would have expected the Jayhawks to reach New Orleans, but the constant improvements of Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey and Tyshawn Taylor made this improbable scenario a reality.
Even when Kansas found itself down 16 with 10 minutes left in the game against Kentucky, the Jayhawks did not quit and followed the blueprint of the Missouri comeback to cut the lead to five.
The Jayhawks responded to that adversity, and resilience became a theme for this Kansas squad. There was never a deficit too big in the minds of Kansas, who seemingly played its best when backed against a wall.
Kansas' well-documented 69-67 tournament loss to Northern Iowa truly shows the difference between this team and the 2009-10 edition. Yes, that was an ultra-talented group led by Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry, Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins; however, that team thought it could just show up and win and paid dearly for that mentality.
It might have been the constant label of "underdog," but this team played with an edge that I have not seen in my four years at Kansas, and for that, I will miss watching these jayhawks.
WARM WELCOME
A THANK YOU TO FANS
Jayhawks 'lasted until the very end'
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
With the long lines of people waiting outside Allen Filedhouse Tuesday, it looked as if the Kansas basketball team would be playing a home game later in the evening.
But instead of gathering to cheer the Jayhawks to victory, this crowd gathered to congratulate the Jayhawks for a season where they surpassed everyone's expectations by advancing to the National Championship game.
"It it just means so much to us for you guys having our backs," senior guard Conner Teahan told the crowd. "It really made us the team we are now, because we didn't want to let you guys down."
Four players from the team addressed the crowd: senior guards Teahan, Tyshawn Taylor and Jordan Juenemann, along with junior forward Thomas Robinson, who most likely played his last game for Kansas Monday night, as he is expected to enter the NBA draft this spring.
When Robinson spoke, some fans in the crowd tried to entice him to stick around for one more season.
"I wish that he would play for one more year," Taylor Teague, a Dallas senior, said about Robinson. "But he has to move on. I'll support him wherever he goes."
The fans filed into Allen Fieldhouse almost an hour before the team arrived and were treated to a replay of the Jayhawks' Final Four victory over Ohio State.
"I was thinking about their faces, and just how excited they would be to see us and know how much they mean to us and how much we support them," Kathryn McDonald, a Frisco, Texas, senior, said.
The season may have ended in disappointment, as the Jayhawks failed to capture their sixth national title.
However, the hard-to-please Jayhawk fans were rather pleased with how the season unfolded, especially after previous teams failed to match fans' lofty expectations.
"Our season this year turned out a lot better," Caleb MacIntosh, a Caney freshman, said. "I'm sure last year people had higher hopes because of who we had. Overall, I think I'd prefer this year just because of how far and unexpected it went."
Kansas coach Bill Self also expressed his disappointment that this was the last time this group of players would be together at center court of Allen Fieldhouse in front of their faithful fans.
adidas
"I know you're attached to them, I'm attached to them," Self said to the crowd. "The reality of it is, you're never going to see these guys play together again, and to to me that's the thing that's most sad. So when you get attached, you want it to last as long as possible, and these guys lasted to the very, very end."
For a senior class that entered Kansas on the heels of a national championship, this class proved its worth, capturing four outright Big 12 conference championships and winning two Big 12 tournament titles.
And while the layhawks didn't win it all this season, because the team went to the Final Four, it will forever have a spot in Kansas basketball history. Next season, Allen Fieldhouse will have another banner hanging from the rafters — one that will read "NCAA Final Four 2012."
"It was one of our greatest seasons, and it was because of you guys," senior guard Jordan Juenemann said to the crowd. "It's so cool how the sport of basketball, Kansas basketball, can bring so many together, and we just thank you for that."

Early error results in loss for Kansas

OMAHA. Neb. — The Kansas baseball team dug itself into a hole early during Tuesday night's game against Creighton. Kansas lost the game 7-3 after the Jayhawks' freshman pitcher Drew Morovick (2-2, 6.75) gave up two runs to Creighton in the bottom of the first inning.
Both runs were unearned, though, after freshman center fielder Dakota Smith dropped a fly ball with two outs and runners on second and third bases. Kansas (12-16) entered Tuesday night's game tied for 10th in the nation with a .979 fielding percentage, but Smith's costly error was the Jayhawks' third in four games.
Senior pitcher Jordan Jakubov pitches the ball during Tuesday evening's game against Creighton at theTD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb. The Jayhawks lost 3-7.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
The Jayhawks can't afford to play sloppy defense if they want to be successful, as the team has struggled offensively so far this season. Kansas hitters either score in bunches or barely at all. They couldn't score enough runs again Tuesday at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb., and lost to the Blue lays by four runs.
"We'll just get back in practice and start doing everything again that we usually do," Smith said. "We've been playing really good defense. We just struggled a couple plays throughout the game."
"It's huge," Kuntz said of Smith. "Like I just told him, you got to keep your head up, stuff like that's going to happen. You just got to keep practicing and battling, and you will work yourself out of it."
Zac Elgie led off the inning with a double down the left field line. Smith made up for his error by driving Elgie home with a single up the middle. Sophomore left fielder Tucker Tharp laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Smith to second base. Smith then scored on junior short stop Kevin Kuntz's single.
The Jayhawks tied the game at two in the third inning after three hits. Senior third baseman
Morovick, who pitched on Sunday, only threw two innings on the night and was tagged with Creighton's two unearned runs. Freshman Colin Toalson (0-0, 6.48) relieved Morovick in the third.
Creighton took back the lead in the fourth inning, scoring another two runs off of back-to-back doubles and a single. All three hits came with two outs in the inning.
Tharp helped the Jayhawks again in the fifth inning, blasting his first home run of the season into the Blue Jays' bullpen in left field to make the score 4-3. The solo shot was his second in his career at Kansas.
"I was glad to see him break out," coach Ritch Price said of Tharp. "It was good to see him come up and hammer a ball to left. We need somebody in the middle of our lineup to start
making a productive out for us."
The Jayhawks wouldn't score again and the Blue Jays scored three more times. Creighton added one run in the seventh and two in the eighth. Kansas used five pitchers total, and only senior Jordan Jakubov didn't give
up a run.
Price left Omaha unhappy with the performance in the game's most prized venue at the collegiate level.

"To be honest with you, I was disappointed in every phase of the game today," Price said. "To walk
into the College World Series stadium in front of a great crowd, we did not play very well."

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
RACHEL SALYER

An Israeli guest speaker told University student senators life in his country goes beyond the violent depictions in the media and that Israel is a safe place to travel and study at yesterday's full-Senate meeting.
Shahar Arieli, the Israeli Consulate of Academic Affairs in the Midwest, said because Israel is located in a conflict zone, that is often the only side of the country
Americans know.
"Israel is an unusual creature," Arieli said. "We are different in our form of government. We are the only true democracy in the Middle East."
Arieli said a difference in government and religion have made relationships difficult with neighbors of Israel, and said several Middle Eastern countries refuse to acknowledge Israel as a state.
"If you are interested in learning about the Middle East, the safest place you can do that now, in the
Middle East, is Israel," Arieli said. "It is very different from the U.S., but also very similar to the U.S. in terms of values, in terms of democracy and freedom."
Israel is comparable in size to New Jersey Arieli said, with about 7.5 million people, and Israel had 3 million tourists last year.
Arieli said Israel flourishes
"Our economy is different because we do not have natural oil or gas," Arieli said. "We have to deviate the only element we have, and that is the human element."
in technology development and encouraged anyone studying abroad to consider the country for both its advancement and nightlife.
But Arieli acknowledged his country faces difficulties, saying that he believes it's a part of international relations.
"Tel Aviv is alive at all hours of the night and it is completely safe," Arieli said, adding that violent crime and robberies vary rarely occur.
When asked by a senator about the possibility of nuclear attainment by Iran, an attempt the Israeli
government starkly opposes, Arieli spoke about safety concerns.
"Although our country is very safe now, it may be very difficult for that to continue if Iran has nuclear capabilities," Arieli said. "You will see countries in the Middle East trying to arm themselves in what is already the most dangerous part of the world."
Arieli said Israel will try to stop the country through diplomacy and military action is the last resort.
Libby Johnson, student body president, said she felt the talk
was important for senators to hear because it was different.
"He isn't someone we would normally hear from," Johnson said. "We got to hear a perspective different from what we hear a lot of in Senate, and that education is important for us."
Arieli will be on campus today from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in room 104 of Green Hall to speak about international law and responding to terrorism. It is free to attend.

Computer problems at DMV delay production
TOPEKA — Any student who was celebrated a birthday Wednesday and needed a new ID wasn't able to get it.
The Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles was still unable to issue new driver licenses or non-driver identification cards because of persistent computer problems.
Agency spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said problems with a computer vendor's server brought down the system at all 111 driver's license offices statewide. As a result, Kansas will be issuing 15-day extension slips for licenses and ID cards set to expire between March 30 and April 6.
The offices, which receive about 13,000 visitors a week, are open Tuesdays through Fridays.

Romney struggles to find candidates

It's not that bad of a job, is it? Well, it depends. John Nance Garner, who was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's vice president, described the job as "not worth a bucket of warm spit," among other characterizations.

cense, driving while intoxicated and transporting an open container. Bond was set at $375.
Republicans considered to be up-and-comers are scrambling to declare a lack of interest in becoming Mitt Romney's running mate, taking themselves off the still-forming short list of would-be vice presidents. With Romney poised to win the GOP nomination in June, if not earlier, some of the focus has shifted to his pick for the No. 2 spot on the ticket. But no one is rushing forward and many of the top prospects are trying to shut down the conversation before it begins.

"I'm not going to be the vice president," Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday.
Part of the dance is trying to appear uninterested in the role of designated attackdog potential
GOP front-runner for 2016 if Romney falls short in November. Part of it is also preserving a personal brand; campaigning for the second slot and coming up short is embarrassing, as Pawlenty remembers from his unsuccessful effort to become Sen. John McCain's running mate in 2008. McCain went with Sarah Palin.
Just look at Palin, the former Alaska governor. She flirted with running this year but ultimately decided against it, given her divisive reputation, lagging poll numbers and sour memories of the 2008 race.
"Don't necessarily play it safe and do just what the GOP establishment expects them to do," she told Fox News Channel, where she is a paid contributor. "It doesn't matter if that person has national level experience or not, they're going to get clobbered by the lame-stream media who does not like the conservative message."
And, potentially, no one wants to play second fiddle on a second-place ticket. If Romney falls short in his bid to make President Barack Obama a one-termer, the fresh faces in the GOP today would be tainted as losers heading into 2016.
That may also be part of the reason why no one is rushing to join Romney's team.
Palin offered some advice to the nominee, whether it ends up being Romney or someone else:

Suicide bomber kills 10 people in a new wave of violence
Wounded U.S. soldiers lie on the ground at the scene of a suicide attack in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province north of Kabul, Afghanistan on Wednesday, April 4. A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing at least 10 people, including three NATO service members, officials said, the latest in a string of attacks as spring fighting season gets under way. A senior U.S. defense official has confirmed that two U.S. soldiers were among three NATO forces killed in a suicide bombing in northern Afghanistan.

Hungarian lawmaker's speech criticized as 'anti-Semitic'
BUDAPEST, Hungary — A far-right Hungarian lawmaker was urged to resign Wednesday after making a speech in Parliament that was widely criticized as anti-Semitic.
In his speech, Zsolt Barath criticized the verdict in a well-known, 19th-century court case that had found several Jews innocent of murdering a Hungarian peasant girl. That verdict stoked anti-Semitism in Hungary at the time and led to disturbances in cities across the country.
On Tuesday, Barath of the farright Jobbik party commemorated the case by claiming the judge had proof of the defendants' guilt but succumbed to pressure to acquit them to avoid seeing Hungary bankrupted by international financiers.
Janos Funay of the governing Fidesz party accused Barath of opening "centuries-old wounds" with his speech.
Two opposition groups, Politics Can Be Different and the Socialist Party, urged Barath to resign.
"We cannot tolerate barely concealed anti-Semitism within the walls of Parliament," Politics Can Be Different said in statement, describing Barath's speech as an "incitement falsely made to appear as a history lesson."
Rabbi Sloma Koves of the Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation said Barath should face a parliamentary ethics committee.
"It is our daily experience that increasingly coarse, racist and anti-Semitic speech is becoming permissible in the Hungarian Parliament," Koves said.

Second offshore oil leak leads to lawsuit against Chevron
SAO PAULO, Brazil — A Brazilian prosecutor filed a new $11 billion suit against U.S. oil company Chevron Corp. and drilling contractor Transocean Ltd for a second leak in an offshore oil field.
In this Nov. 13, 2011 photo, released by Chevron oil company, ships try to control an oil spill in an offshore field operated by Chevron at the Bacia de Campos, in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The federal public prosecutor's office said Wednesday on its website that prosecutor Eduardo Santos de Oliveira filed the lawsuit because of alleged environmental damage caused by oil that leaked from cracks on the ocean floor on March 4. It is near the offshore Chevron well where at least 110,000 gallons (about 416,000 liters) spilled late last year.
That first leak led Oliveira to ask for $11 billion damages from Chevron and Transocean.
Oliveira also wants the two companies to be prohibited from sending profits overseas.
Last month, federal prosecutors filed criminal charges against 17 Chevron and Transocean company executives, accusing them of environmental crimes, of misleading
Brazil's oil regulator about safety plans and of not providing accurate information in the wake of the spill.
The executives could face up to 31 years in prison.
A judge must still decide if the case will go to trial, which would be a lengthy process given the number of defendants, the complexity of the
NATIONAL
case and the Brazilian legal system's room for numerous appeals.
Chevron spokesman Kurt Glaubitz said in an emailed statement the second lawsuit "is another in a series of outrageous actions ... all of which are without merit."
Protest contained with pepper spray
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Campus police pepper-sprayed as many as 30 demonstrators after Santa Monica College students angry over a plan to offer high-priced courses tried to push their way into a trustees meeting, authorities said.
Raw video posted on the Internet Tuesday evening showed students chanting "Let us in, let us in" and "No cuts, no fees, education should be free."
Students were angry because only a handful were allowed into the meeting room, and when their request to move the meeting to a larger venue was
denied, they began to enter the room, said David Steinman, an environmental advocate who is running for Congress as a Green Party candidate.
Two officers were apparently backed up against a wall, and began using force to keep the students out of the room. Steinman said both officers used pepper spray.
"People were gasping and choking." Steinman said.
Marioly Gomez, 21, said she was standing in a hallway outside the meeting with several hundred other students who wanted to get into the meeting.
"I got pepper-sprayed without warning," she said.
Santa Monica College spokesman Bruce Smith said he believed it was the first time pepper spray had been used to subdue students on campus.
"It was the judgment of police that the crowd was getting out of hand and it was a safety issue," he said.
Firefighters were called to the campus at about 7:20 p.m. Five people were evaluated at the scene and two were taken to a hospital, Santa Monica Fire Department Capt. Judah Mitchell said. Their conditions were not known, but the injuries were not believed to be serious, Mitchell said.
Students have been upset over a new plan that involves the formation of a nonprofit foundation
which would offer core courses for about $600 each, or about $200 per unit — about four times the current price. The program is designed to cope with rising student demand as state funds dwindle.
The move has raised questions about whether it would create two tiers of students in a system designed to make education accessible to everyone and whether it's even legal under state education law.
Community colleges statewide have lost $809 million in state funding over the past three years, causing schools to turn away about 200,000 students and drastically cut the number of classes offered.

Fired host tells his side of story on 'Late Show'
LOS ANGELES — Keith Olbermann is remorseful—sort of.
Current TV, the network cofounded by former Vice President Al Gore and legal entrepreneur Joel Hyatt, sacked Olbermann last week after months of friction over his time spent on-camera, set issues and other problems.
The freshly fired host from Current TV told his side of the story on Tuesday's "Late Show with David Letterman," although it wasn't always clear how firmly his tongue was planted in cheek. He implied that he came to the network with the best intentions but was undone by its lack of resources.

Nicki Minaj translates nerves into memorable performances
LOS ANGELES — Underneath the stage before February's Super Bowl halftime show, Nicki Minaj felt an emotion she hadn't experienced in quite some time. She was really, really nervous.
Over the last three years, the young rapper had become one of the most charismatic and commercially successful stars in pop music, with a gum-snapping flow and acerbic guest rhymes that stole the show from vets such as Mariiah Carey, Kanve West and Rihanna.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Only four months into 2012, Minaj has already headlined two of the biggest moments in live music, with her Super Bowl gig followed by an outlandish exorcism-themed Grammys set that was the talk of the telecast. Her new album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," is an even more daring document of a young artist holding onto her creativity while navigating major commercial stardom.

Be careful with unpaid internships
What's the next best thing to getting a summer job while you're in college? Getting an internship.
Internships are framed as an awesome way to build your résumé and get work experience before you graduate and actually enter the workforce.
In some cases that may be true. In some cases you may actually get paid for them, but in many cases, taking an unpaid internship may be required to break into your field of choice. All it takes is that one internship to get you noticed by a potential employer. Internships are so valued in the United States that nearly 75 percent of students will take an internship during their college career.
Hilary Duff has a baby?!
However, approximately 50 percent of internships in the United States are unpaid.
Unpaid internships typically ask the student to pay for credit at their college as a way to get around paying the student and avoid being accused of taking advantage of them.
Recently, Ross Eisenbrey.
vice-president of the Economic Policy Institute has been speaking out against, possibly illegal, unpaid internships.

He argues that the current system pushes lower middle class and poorer students out of the running for internships because they cannot afford to work for no pay. Besides paying for the credit hours at the university, the student would need to pay for gas and possibly housing and food in order to work. Instead of applying for internships, these candidates will go toward jobs.
Eisenbrey also notes that universities get a nice deal out of this system. They don't have to pay teachers to teach the students. They don't have to provide facilities or facilitate the student's learning. But they do receive money from that student.
In a way, it's a partnership. The university receives tuition, the employer receives a free employee and the bill is footed by an intern in search of work
But not all internships will provide the same amount of knowledge as a class. Some may consist of making copies or filing papers. Unless you're majoring in organization, that may not be the most productive use of tuition money.
experience.
Eisenbrey argues that the current system teaches employers that they don't need to pay someone to do entry-level work, like making copies. They can hire an intern to do it for them.
The government realizes this, at least to an extent. Internships are addressed in the Fair Labor Standards Act.
In the act, it specifies six criteria that a for-profit company must meet in order for them to legally offer an unpaid internship.
One of the criteria is that the work must be beneficial to the intern. Can the employer defend how making copies is beneficial to you as an intern?
every single one, and students just want to get accepted into a program regardless. So is it the government or the employer who polices this?
Whose job it is to check the legality of an internship has been called into question? University career centers have too many postings to possibly investigate
What difference does it make anyways?
According to a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average salary of a student with an unpaid internship is $13,000 less than a student with a paid internship and even $3,700 less than a student with no internship at all.
In other words, unpaid internships don't put students at an advantage in the workforce, and as Eisenbrey puts it in his blog, "Unpaid work is exploitation."
Students should think twice about accepting that unpaid internship and employers should think twice about not paying their interns. If they value the goals of their interns and the law, they should offer paid internships.
SIX CRITERIA FOR INTERNSHIPS UNDER THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT:
1. The internship, even
though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.

'Anchorman' sequel sure to impress with returning cast
With the news that Will Ferrell dropped on TBS "Conan," the Internet was going crazy with happiness. Yes, the highly anticipated sequel to the comedy classic "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" has finally been green lit, with all of the original cast returning.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Since the release of "Anchorman" in the summer of 2004, three of the four members of Channel Four news went on to find themselves with a very solid career in Hollywood. Will Ferrell has done several classic comedy films, University of Kansas Alum Paul Rudd has found success as a main role and a supporting actor in many other comedy films, and Steve Carell found himself in one of the most famous TV sit-com roles in the past decade as Michael Scott of NBC's "The Office."
Comparing the three careers since the film has been released, it's hard to tell who has had the most success. But by bringing them all back together, it doesn't really matter. I suggest you go back and watch "Anchorman" and notice how truly amazing the film really is. It's possibly the best comedy film in the past 20 years. That is not an exaggeration. To me, it is without a doubt, the greatest comedy film in my lifetime.
Don't believe me? Go watch it. Right now. Do it. After that, come back and tell me how
many of the lines from the film you remembered while watching it. I'm going to go ahead and guess you remember almost 95% of them, if not all.
I don't have any real statistics, but while watching the film, it seems that I'm laughing, literally, the whole time the film plays. The joke per minute ratio has to
be through the roof. "Anchorman" is a comedy classic that will live on forever.
And now were getting a second one.
There is a possible prob-
significance as the original.
lem, though. "The Hangover" and its sequel—cleverly named "The Hangover 2"—was in the exact same situation a year ago. When "The Hangover 2" came out, many went to go see it, but many were also upset that the plot to the sequel was almost identical to the original. In the long run, "The Hangover 2" will not have as much historical
So, will the unnamed "Anchorman" sequel suffer the same fate, or will the three high profile comedic actors be able to save it from damnation?
As long as the film stays away from "The Hangover 2" formula, and creates a completely different plot to the sequel (which should not be hard at all) then the sequel will be able to make us all laugh again. And a lot.
My guess is that the "Anchorman" sequel will be just as hilarious as the first. With Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell at the helm, I can't see how this film could possibly be a letdown.
"With Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell at the helm, I can't see how this film could possibly be a letdown."
The sequel will probably not

be as historically significant as it's original, but by the reaction the Internet saw from Will Ferrell's announcement on "Conan", it's hard to believe that this film
won't have some sort of cultural significance.

Going Bovine a dark and humorous book
By Josh Moreland jmoreland@kansan.com
My main job here at the UDK is to expose you, the student body, to new and interesting books that you might not otherwise read—one keyword being new. So, only after rilling through three-hundred of the nearly five-hundred pages of "Going Bovine" by Libba Bray did I realize the book was published over three years ago. (Thank you to my favorite bookstore and your supposed "best new releases" stand!)
Luckily, another of my goals as a columnist is to introduce authors to a more diverse audience. Going Bovine author Libba Bray is relatively unknown despite having multiple New York Times bestselling-novels, though she has a cult following on Tumblr and other blog sites—and for good reason.
Going Bovine is a dark comedy filled with veiled pop-culture references, sneering humor, and good old-fashioned craziness. The story follows Cameron Smith, a Texas high school junior, as he transitions from a typical slacker and loner to a demented victim of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as "mad cow disease." Cameron quickly begins to hallucinate and loses control of his body at the most inopportune times. Once Cameron is hospitalized, the story becomes very weird—very fast.
He is soon visited by a punkrock-angel messenger named Dulcie who tasks him with a cryptic mission to find his cure and save the world. Oh, and the cure for his illness is held secret by a mysterious Dr. X, a trans-dimensional, time-traveling genius, who is guarded by fire giants, spontaneous black holes, and a gigantic, sword-wielding knight named "The Wizard of Reckoning." Yeah—and that's only where things begin to get strange.
Cameron must also take his fellow classmate Gonzo with him on his journey. Gonzo is a little
person with severe hypochondria and an addiction to violent video games. Much of the story follows a sort of "buddy film" script, in which Cameron is the level-headed adventurer and Gonzo is the agitated worrywart looking to bail at the slightest drop of danger. Their constant bickering and improvised schemes make for quite a comedic duo.
As Cameron and Gonzo escape and make their journey across America, Dulcie drops in from time to time to give them obscure clues as to where they can find Dr. X. Throughout their journey the two meet a diverse and interesting cast of characters including a demon-fighting jazz musician, a happiness cult, and a talking garden gnome. All the while, Cameron goes in and out of consciousness in his hospital bed, making him (and the reader) unsure whether his hallucinations are real or not.
Going Bovine has the most bizarre plot I've ever read (and I I've read some weird stuff), and if you're not willing to follow author Libba Bray through all the unexpected brays and turns you may end up feeling annoyed.
At times, I felt the constant mayhem and breakneck pace were irritating and repetitive, and I think the book is about one hundred pages longer than necessary. Nonetheless, I can't accuse Going Bovine of being slow or unimaginative. The wacky characters and fantasy-driven imagery will keep you along for a wild ride, whether you like it or not.
I would describe the novel as "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"—meets "Scott Pilgrim" with a modern pinch of Holden Caulfield-esque cynicism, though not as good as any of the aforementioned references.
Still, Going Bovine is smartly written and laced with references to pop culture, mythology, philosophy and a lot more. Bray does not go a single paragraph without smirk-inducing humor. Overall, Going Bovine is a good and original read, just a little long and disjointed. I think it's one of those polarizing books people will either love or hate. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Evaluating damages in Texas
Tornado damage in New Orleans.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ashley Quinton walks through the tornado damaged home of her friend Sherry Enochs in hopes of finding personal items that can be salvaged in Forney, Texas. Enochs was babysitting three children, all under the age of 3, who survived the storm with only minor burns and scraps.

Mitraculously, no one was seriously hurt.
FORNEY, Texas — As a twister bore down on her neighborhood,
Sherry Enochs grabbed the three young children in her home and hid in her bathtub. The winds swirled and snatched away two of the children. Her home collapsed around her.
Enochs, 53, stood Wednesday amid the wreckage of what was once her home in the North Texas city of Forney, among the hardest hit by a series of tornadoes that barreled through one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas a day earlier. No one was reported dead, and of the more than 20 injured, only a handful were seriously hurt.
"If you really think about it, the fact that everybody who woke up in Forney yesterday is alive today in Forney, that's a real blessing." Mayor Darren Rozell said.
The National Weather Service is investigating the damage caused by the tornadoes, which appeared to flatten some homes and graze others next door. The twisters jumped from place to place, passing many heavily populated areas overhead and perhaps limiting what could have been a more damaging, deadly storm. Most of Dallas was spared the full wrath of the storms.
While tornadoes can strike major cities, having two major systems strike a single metropolitan area is highly unusual, meteorologist Jesse Moore said. The Texas twisters would have done more damage had they stayed on the ground for more of the storms' path. But weather experts and officials credited the quick response to tornado warnings for preventing deaths or more injuries.
In the Diamond Greek subdivision where Enoch's home was destroyed, residents put on work gloves Wednesday and began cleaning up. Many noticed things in their front yards that didn't belong to them.
Enochs doesn't have a clear memory of exactly how things happened Tuesday, but she was
found holding her grandson in the bathtub, which had blown into the area where her garage once was. A 3-year-old she was watching was found wandering around the backyard. A neighbor pulled another child Enochs had been taking care of, 19-month-old Abigail Jones, from the rubble.
"I heard the rumbling from the tornado and I didn't even hear the house call" Enochs said.
Abigail was taken to the hospital but released. The blonde, smiling child with bows in her hair was bruised on her cheek and forehead, but not seriously hurt. Her mother, Misty Jones, brought her back Wednesday to see what had happened.
Seven people were injured in Forney, none seriously. An additional 10 people were hurt in Lancaster, south of Dallas, and three people in Arlington, west of Dallas.
National Weather Service crews in Forney, east of Dallas, spotted storm damage that suggested the twister there was an EF3, with wind speeds as high as 165 mph. Other tornadoes in Arlington and Lancaster appear to have been EF2
tornadoes, with wind speeds up to 135 mph. Tornadoes can range from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the strongest. An EF2 or higher is considered a significant tornado.
A twister can hit one spot and continue for miles before touching down again, Moore said. It's difficult to explain why a tornado touches down when it does.
"It can destroy one house and the one across the street is fine. It can go back up for a mile or two and drop back down," Moore said. "That's all the crazy things that can happen with tornadoes."
Randy McKeever and his wife and several of their friends sorted through what was left of their house Wednesday. Their roof was completely gone. The front yard was littered with shingles and pieces of wood. Inside was a jumble of belongings. McKeever, 47, wore work gloves as he tried to find anything that could be salvaged.
"There's a bunch of stuff in there that's not even ours" he said.
Stunning video from Dallas showed big-rig trailers tossed into the air and spiraling like footballs. An entire wing of an Arlington nursing home crumbled. In
Lancaster, dozens of young children cowered in the safe room of a day care near a local church. The storm pulled one of the walls back "like you were peeling an orange," day care director Danita Harris said.
"Not one Band-Aid had to be applied." Harris said.
The students were moved further indoors and rode out the rest of the storm safely, she said.
Hundreds of flights into and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field were canceled or diverted elsewhere Tuesday. American Airlines, which operates most flights at the airport, said it canceled more than 400 flights Wednesday after stopping about 800 Tuesday. An airport spokesman said more than 110 planes were damaged by hail.
April is typically the worst month in a tornado season that stretches from March to June, but Tuesday's outburst suggests that "we're on pace to be above normal," said National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Bishop.
Gov. Rick Perry plans an aerial tour of the damage on Thursday.

Former senator is now hospitalized
IASSOCIATED PRESS
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Former South Dakota senator and Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern has been hospitalized in Florida, his daughter said Wednesday.
Ann McGovern told The Associated Press her 89-year-old father was admitted to Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine, Fla., on Tuesday evening for tests to figure out why he occasionally passes out and loses his ability to speak, she said.
"He's comfortable. The tests are continuing to see if they can determine what's causing this," Ann McGovern said.
Hospital officials said the elder McGovern is in stable condition.
McGovern splits his time between Florida and South Dakota, where he was a South Dakota congressman from 1957 to 1961 and a U.S. senator from 1963 to 1981. He has been hospitalized several times in recent months.
In October, he was treated for exhaustion in Sioux Falls after he completed a lecture tour. Two months later, he fell and hit his head in Mitchell, S.D., just before
he was to be interviewed live on C-SPAN for a program called "The Contenders" that focused on failed presidential candidates who had a lasting impact on American politics.
McGovern lost in a historic landslide his 1972 challenge against President Richard Nixon, who eventually resigned amid the Watergate scandal.
McGovern regularly spends time at a home he owns in Mitchell, across the street from a library bearing his name at Dakota Wesleyan University. He also has owned a home in St. Augustine since the 2008 death of his wife, Eleanor.
He and former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, a Republican, were honored that year with the World Food Prize, a distinction some observers have called the Nobel Prize for hunger. Their George McGovern Robert Dole International Food for Education and Nutrition Program, which was established in 2000 and funded primarily through Congress, provides millions of meals to children in the U.S. and some three dozen countries across the world.

The 'Merchant of Death' faces at least 25 years in prison
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A former Soviet officer dubbed the "Merchant of Death" for his reputation for putting deadly weapons into the hands of violent dictators and regimes is set for sentencing Thursday.
Viktor Bout, 45, faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and possibly life for his conviction on terrorism charges. His lawyers are making a last-minute bid to convince a judge that the case should be tossed out, along with last year's jury verdict. They say he is the victim of a vindictive U.S. government sting operation.
But in a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors urge a
life prison sentence for Bout, saying his conviction stemmed from his willingness "without hesitation and with frightening speed" to ship "a breathtaking arsenal of weapons," including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, machine guns and sniper rifles along with 10 million rounds of ammunition to men he believed represented a foreign terrorist organization willing to kill Americans in Colombia.
They say that his weapons fueled armed conflicts in some of the world's most treacherous hot spots, including Rwanda, Angola and the Congo and that he was looking for new arms deals in places like Libya and Tanzania when he was arrested.
Lawyers for Bout, who was the
inspiration for an arms dealer character played by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 film "Lord of War," say their client became a political prisoner after Drug Enforcement Administration agents coaxed him from his Russian home to Thailand, where he was arrested in March 2008. They say the charges stemmed from a make-up scenario to deliver weapons to rebels in South America to shoot down American helicopter pilots.
"The relentless pursuit of Viktor Bout and the abominable design to create a criminal case against him that brings him before this court for sentencing is the product of malice and object of private politics stemming from the then White House," defense attorney Albert Dayan wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin, a judge who recently ordered Bout moved from solitary confinement into the general prison population.
his way through negotiations for a $15 million to $20 million arms deal so he could sell two shoddy cargo planes for $5 million to U.S. government operatives. He said the operatives followed a well scripted dialogue of anti-Americanism that would whip American jurors into "a blind rage ... and ultimately to conviction."
"The prosecution resulted from 'outrageous, inexcusable government conduct."

Uptick in errors as conference play arrives
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
It's no secret: The Kansas baseball team (12-16, 2-4) is struggling this season. If the pitching staff holds the opposition to only a few runs, the offense struggles to scratch a run on the scoreboard. If the offense scores runs in bunches, the pitching staff allows runs in bunches. All season long, the Jayhawks have struggled to put together a game where both pitching and hitting produce. But the Jayhawks have been able to rely on their strong defense to make plays — at least until lately. Entering this week, Kansas was tied for 10th in the country with a .979 fielding percentage. In other words, the Kansas defense completed a play without committing an error 97.9

2 errors, 9 runs allowed
This season, the Jayhawks have committed just 22 errors in 28 games. But since Big 12 play started March 23, the Jayhawks have committed seven errors in eight games. Kansas committed another error Tuesday night, falling to Creighton 7-3. The error dropped the team's fielding percentage to .978. Despite only having one official error, the defense appeared shaky in other moments of the game. They rank second in the Big 12 in fielding percentage by Kansas State.
"We're doing really well," freshman outfielder Dakota Smith said of the defense. "It's just one or two plays that happened."
Smith dropped a fly ball, allowing two runs to score in the first inning on Kansas' only error of the game. In the eighth inning, junior catcher Alex DeLeon allowed a runner to score on a past ball. Later in the same inning, the defense allowed a runner to score from third attempting to get another runner out in a rundown.
"We booted the one crucial play in center," coach Ritch Price said. "At the same time we have a past ball in the eighth inning with Poppe on the mound. It's inexcusable not to catch that ball."
Junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz is one of the defensive leaders of the team. Fields 97.4 percent of balls hit towards him cleanly. He said the team needs to play with confidence on defense.
"We have to keep practicing."
With a team that features 15 players in their first year of eligibility, mistakes will happen in the field. The players and coaches said
it's important to move on from the mistakes and to learn from them
"One of the things we preach to our players when you make a bad play is: Live for the opportunity to redeem yourself", Price said.
Price said he left the Tuesday's
game in Omaha, Neb., upset with how his team played in every aspect. But Price knows that in baseball mistakes will happen, but mature players will figure out away to pick themselves and their team up later in the game. The Jayhaws
will look to pick themselves up this weekend when they travel to Stillwater, Okla., to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a three-game series.

Posey hits first RBI at park since injury
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Josh Donaldson started to show signs in the final exhibition that he might be a reliable replacement to Scott Sizemore. after all.
Donaldson hit two homers and drove in five runs off Yusmeiro Petit, and the Oakland Athletics avoided a Bay Bridge Series sweep with an 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
Sizemore tore a ligament in his left knee during Oakland's first fullsquad workout this spring training, ending his season and thrusting Donaldson into the starting third baseman spot before a game had been played. Donaldson finished 4 for 5 in the finale, pushing his batting average up to .270.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An otherwise quiet ending for San Francisco this spring training still had a bright spot.
GANTS
Buster Poster, receiving rousing ovations from fans every time his name was announced, cleared another milestone with an RBI single in the first. Both were firsts at AT&T Park for the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year since a brutal season-ending collision at home plate last year with Florida's Scott Cousins.
Posey had been 0 for 2 with two walks in Monday night's exhibition in San Francisco. He also added a double in the fourth in the last spring training game.
A sun-soaked day at San Francisco's cozy waterfront ballpark still belonged to an unproven slugger from across the bay.
After a so-so spring training, Donaldson smacked a two-run shot to left in the second to put Oakland ahead 2-1. He followed with a three-run homer to deep left-center in the third off Petit for his only long balls this spring training.
Originally a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, Donaldson was traded to Oakland in a deal for pitcher Rich Harden in 2008.
Donaldson's latest go-around in the Bay Area figures to last a little longer than his first.

More than one star at Masters
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As he approached the Sarazen Bridge to the 15th green Wednesday, the grandstand rumbled when fans suddenly rose in unison to see him walk by. Some of them held cameras as high as they could, clicked and hoped for the best.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods couldn't see the green through the trees, though that was only a minor obstacle. He choked up on a 5-wood and played a sweeping draw around the pines, over the water and onto the back of the green.
Woods is worth watching at the Masters for all the right reasons.
All it took was one win at Bay Hill two weeks ago for Woods to even remotely resemble the guy who once dominated golf. He won by five shots, and, just like that, was elevated to the favorite at Augusta National.
"Everything is headed in the right direction at the right time," Woods said.
But he's not the only star of this Masters.
Rory McIlroy has all the traits of the heir apparent — an easy swing that produces enormous power, a U.S. Open title at age 22, a tennis star for a girlfriend,
and an engaging personality something that Woods is not. In his last 12 tournaments, McIlroy finished third or better eight times, including two wins and a brief stay at No.1 in the world.
"I'm in a great place," McIroy said. "I feel like my golf game is in great shape."
There is so much anticipation about this clash of generations it's as if they were the only two players competing for a green jacket, much like the days of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
Far from it.
"There probably hasn't been a Masters with more legitimate chances," Geoff Ogilvy said before heading out for a final practice round. "I can understand people seeing this as a two-man race, but it's never been further from the truth. There are more horses in this race than ever before."
Luke Donald returned to No. 1 in the world three weeks ago by winning at Innisbrook. He is one of eight players among the top 20 in the world who have won this
"And you've got a guy like Keegan Bradley", Ogilvy said, referring to the PGA champion who won the first major he ever played. "Nobody ever talked about a Masters rookie with a chance. There's more people in the conversation, isn't there?"
year, a list that includes Woods and McIroy, along with Hunter Mahan (twice), Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, a threat at Augusta even when he's not playing well.
This season the Jayhaws reached their first NCAA Tournament since 2000 and made it to the Sweet 16 where they lost to Tennessee. However, their efforts were rewarded again as they finished No. 25 in the final USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Poll. This matches their ranking achieved earlier in the season.
One conversation that was kept short Wednesday was Masters chairman Billy Payne refusing to discuss the all-male membership at Augusta National. The topic returned this year because IBM appointed Virginia Rometty its CEO, and the last four chief executives of Big Blue were invited to be members.
"All issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members," Payne said.
Jayhawks slip to top 25 in post season polls
Kansas finished the season 21-13 overall and 8-10 in conference play. The Jayhawks earned an 11 seed in the Des Moines Region. Kansas is one of three Big 12 teams to finish in the final poll despite seven being featured in the tournament.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior forward Carolyn Davis were named All-American Honorable Mention by the WBCA.
Kansas will only lose senior Aishah Sutherland to graduation, but is expected to retain the other players and add two recruits including four-star point guard Lamaria Cole from Rudder, Texas.

Sports experts predict next season rankings
KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
It's never too early to look ahead. The college basketball off-season is barely 48 hours old and most experts are already projecting next year's batch of top teams.
WHY SOME ARE HIGH
ON THE JAYHAWKS ...
Juniors Elijah Johnson and Jeff Witney turned into stars this March and both return as seniors next
season. Johnson averaged 13.3 points in the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by his 18-point game against Purdue in the second round. Withey broke a Final Four single game record with seven blocks against Ohio State. Role players junior guard Travis Releford, junior forward Kevin Young and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe also return, as well as now-eligible freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor. The incoming recruiting class is highlighted by McDonald's All-
American forward and Wichita native Perry Ellis. Four-star forward Andrew White will complement Ben McLemore nicely on the wing, as both players are able to really knock down shots from the three-point range. Depth will never be an issue and Bill Self will probably go nine or 10 players deep in November and December as he tries to figure out his rotation. There's also the fact that Kansas' deep Tournament run is still fresh on everyone's minds, only helping the Jayhawks' stock in
these early rankings. A Final Four shouldn't be expected but a ninth consecutive Big 12 Championship is certainly within reach.
WHY OTHERS AREN'T AS IMPRESSED ...
Junior forward Thomas Robinson was the only unanimous First-Team All-American and his replacement looks to be a true freshman. Perry Ellis will be good, but he won't be close to Thomas Robinson's numbers in his first
season. Jeff Withey looks to be great next season, but he might see his first double-teams as well. Robinson kept post defenders honest and Withey was able to get a lot of great looks at the basket off Robinson double-teams. Withey will be the first option down low and his offensive game will have to catch up to his defensive prowess if this run of great Kansas big men is set to continue. While Elijah Johnson was tremendous much of the last month, he won't have
a security blanket like Tyshawn Taylor next to him next season in the back court. Johnson will probably be teamed with Travis Releford and Ben McLemore, two talented but less than spectacular ball-handlers. Naadir Tharpe could be the first guard off the bench and his improvement this off-season could be crucial in how well the Jayhawks fend off pressure on the perimeter.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher earns spot in spring rotation
PITCHING
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Brian Matusz winds up in the fifth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies in their spring training baseball game at Brighthouse Field in Clearwater, Fla., Sunday, March 25.
NORFOLK, Va. — Brian Matusz pitched his way into Baltimore's rotation this spring and made his final pitch with a strong outing in an exhibition against the Orioles' top farm team in Norfolk on Wednesday afternoon.
The 25-year-old lefthand pitched four shutout innings, allowing three hits. He struck out five and walked one in the Orioles' 6-4 loss to the Norfolk Tides.
After the game, manager Buck Showalter announced that Matusz would start the fourth game of the season for the Orioles, following Jake Arrrieta, Jason Hammel and Tommy Hunter. Wei-Yin Chen will be the fifth starter.
"He's had a good spring, and he's deserving of the rotation," Showalter said. "He had a lot of things going on last year, some of them self-inflicted, but he's had a good offseason and it carried over into a good spring. Now we're hoping he can carry that over into the season."
In 2010, he won 10 games and was considered one of the top young arms in the organization. But last season he struggled with a strained muscle in his ribcage and went 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA, the highest ERA in major-league history for a pitcher making at least 10 starts.
He had some success during a midseason trip to the minors, but got clobbered again when he
returned to Baltimore in mid- August.
The rotation appeared to fall into place on Tuesday when the team announced that Japanese left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada would start the season on the disabled list. But Matusz said he had not formally been told on Wednesday what his role would be.
"Last year is over with, and for the past six weeks at spring training I've been focused on this year," Matusz said. "I'm just working on getting back on track, refining my mechanics and attacking the strike zone."
"I just wanted to go out today and get my work in," Matusz said. "I've tried to work hard and pitch
consistently this spring, and that's all I wanted to do today*
Wada, who has experienced elbow discomfort, will be eligible to come off the disabled list on April 12.
"Zach has pitched well," Showalter said. "Last year we had so many injuries that we were just trying to put a pitching staff together. This year we're sending guys to Triple-A who probably pitched well enough to make the team."
Showalter announced that lefty Zach Phillips would be assigned to Norfolk, trimming the Baltimore roster to 25.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar goes behind second to snare a a hard hit grounder by San Diego Padres' Nick Hundley in the second inning of a spring training baseball game Tuesday, April 3, in San Diego. Escobar threw wild to first but Hundley was credited with a hit.
Duffy leads Royals to 7-6 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE ELSINORF, Calif. — Danny Duffy put together an impressive performance Wednesday, even if most of the batters he faced were minor leaguers.
Duffy struck out seven in three perfect innings, helping the Kansas City Royals to a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres in the spring finale for each team.
The 23-year-old left-hander is one of Kansas City's top prospects.
"I don't care who it was against, he looked like the quality pitcher we think he is," manager Ned Yost said. "He was phenomenal. He was banging pitches down in the zone, had tremendous stuff.
"I think you're going to see some brilliance. He's so much better now than a year ago."
Terry Evans and Mario Sisson
hit consecutive homers in the sixth inning for the Royals.
Fill-in starter Matt Palmer pitched four solid innings for the Padres, yielding two hits and unearned run.
Palmer subbed for Tim Stauffer, who has a strained triceps. The right-hander, who has appeared in 60 games in parts of four major league seasons, got up at 4 a.m. for a light to Phoenix. After a long layover, he flew into California and took a cab to Lake Elsinore, the home of one of San Diego's Class-A affiliates.
"It was a $120 cab ride to the ballpark, and I asked the driver to stop at a sandwich shop. He said he had a great place." Palmer said. "It turned out to be a Mexican place. So I got two tacos and we were on our way."
Palmer signed with the Padres as
"It wasn't an ordeal getting here, but it was a long process," Palmer said. "The biggest thing was that I showed the coaches on the major league side what I can do. I showed them I have some intensity, that my arm is strong, and that I'm healthy."
"I'm glad they gave me this opportunity, even if it was a long way to go."
a free agent in December and had a decent chance to make the club. But he pulled a hamstring three weeks into camp and was optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
Minor league catcher Eddy Rodriguez hit a solo homer for the Padres in the seventh.
He struck out two and walked one against Kansas City.
The Royals open the season Friday night at the Los Angeles Angels.

It's tough to find stronger words to describe the Masters Tournament, which begins today at Augusta National in Georgia.
But there is one more word that wraps up the tournament and the course into a nice little bow.
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Immaculate
When you turn on the Masters, I dare you to find anything out of place.
The Loblolly pine needles raked nicely into piles around the towering trees, the fairway Bermuda grass and the greens are bent grass run together in beautiful correlation of exquisiteness.
Rae's Creek races straight through the back nine with blooming azaleas blossoming as the golfers walk toward the club house and the most honored jacket in the sport.
It's a golfer paradise. And in last year's competition, the golfers fit the course.
Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Jason Day made a late charge. Rory McLroy collapsed and young Chart Schwartzel,
the South African with a calm demeanor or managed to drop four birdies on the final four holes to win by two shots and posted a 66, the lowest round of the day.
For me, as a enormous golf fan, it was the most fun I had watching a tournament since Tiger's Nike swoosh chip in on the 16th hole of the 2005 tournament.
This year on the PGA tour, there's also been a huge amount of drama. All the fan favorites notched victories under their belts: Tiger, Phil Mickelson and Rory.
Hunter Mahan posted his second win
of the year last weekend at the Shell Houston Open.
There's been comebacks and big-time drama, but it's not the same.
Major championships are different.
Major championships are different. Not only are the golf fanatics focused on the tournament, but everyone that loves sports, especially that Tiger Woods is now a contender after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago, will have their eyes glued to the television on Sunday.
For the first time in a long time. Woods looked in total control of all aspects of his game. His off the course issue are well documented, but with his personal life figured out, he finally looks ready to battle Rory McIlroy for golf suremacy.
If you don't follow golf, you might be asking, who is Rory McIlroy?
The 22-year-old baby faced, curly haired, Northern Ireland native has turned into the definition of a championship golfer.
KU
He's got the swag down. His golf swing is fluid and powerful all at the
same time. He doesn't take practice strokes before making putts. And he's always has the same facial emotions no matter what. Composed and having a good time.
Now after three years of waiting, it finally looks like Woods and Mcfroy seem on a collision course for Sunday.
But like most golf fans know, championship golf is much different than the normal tour.
Tensions are higher. The crowds are quieter. And any sports fan will be on the edge of his or her seat watching one of the most difficult mental tests in sports.
Because in reality it's not Tiger versus Rory or anybody else.
This week in athletics
It's the golfer versus Augusta National.

COMMENTARY
Reality not quite as crazy
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Sports are woven deep in the fabric of society because they're an escape from reality. People who love sports love them because they're a captivating form of entertainment. We support entertainment that resonates with us — whether it's watching our hometown team, our school's sports teams, our favorite players and coaches, etc.
Sports have a way of getting the best of our emotions, and that was evident in Lexington, Ky., during Final Four weekend when students and fans committed heinous acts such as flipping cars over, burning couches and firing guns. Several people were injured and arrested after Kentucky's wins Saturday and Monday night.
One man required amputation after he was shot in the foot Monday night after Kentucky beat Kansas to win the NCAA National Championship.
Rioting after a game is an inexcusable act of incivility, but to riot after your favorite team wins a game is inexplicable and, quite frankly, stupid. Even though rioting after a sports game is as nonsensical as streaking, rioting after your team loses makes more sense than rioting after your team wins. Regardless, sports and rioting don't belong together.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
Kentucky basketball fans, similar to Kansas basketball fans, are enormously supportive. Kansas fans are passionate, but Kentucky fans; they're obsessed.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky, are an embarrassment to sports and society.

How the Kansas fans and the Kentucky fans conducted themselves after their wins in the semi-finals reflect on their universities, local communities and athletic programs. For example, in Lawrence, when Kansas fans stormed Massachusetts Street Saturday night, they high-fived police officers and took photographs with them, but in Lexington, fans threw beer bottles at the officers.
I had respect for Kentucky basketball fans because they adore their team and will do whatever they can to support it, but I lost it after Final Four weekend because of the violent, despicable and unjustifiable riots. Basketball is not life or death, but Kentucky basketball fans believe otherwise — just ask the fan who lost his foot all because of a sports game. My life shouldn't be endangered when watching a ball game.

MOVING FORWARD
ANDREW JOSEPH

The University of Tulsa introduced former Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning as the program's 29th head coach on Wednesday.
Manning first served as an assistant coach under Bill Self in 2007, and he will return to the program that Self took to the Elite Eight in 2000. Self's opinion of the Tulsa basketball program was a key factor in Manning's decision to leave Lawrence.
"The more I spoke with coach Self about the opportunity of coming to TU and being a part of this rich tradition, it became a nobrainer," Manning said. "To get a job of this magnitude — as my first job — is unbelievable."
When it came time for Tulsa athletic director Ross Parmley and the search committee to find a replacement for newly hired College of Charleston head coach Doug Wojcik, Manning's resume jumped out immediately.
Woicik left Tulsa as the program's winningest coach with a 140-92 record, but he never took
Manning's history and pedigree as a player made him a popular target for coaching jobs around the country, but Tulaa was ultimately the right fit. Since taking over a coaching role in 2007, Manning has coached five NBA forwards at Kansas with Thomas Robinson likely being his sixth.
"His 15 years in the NBA combined with the last nine years under one of the best coaches in the country have helped mold him into a great teacher and coach of basketball," Parmley said. He most definitely brings the excitement, the style of basketball and character that we were looking for in our head coach."
"It's a process, and we understand that," Manning said. "But we're going to put our best foot forward, build and work every day, like I said. Hopefully when you count them up at the end, we have the right number to be there."
Tulsa finished the 2011-12 season with a 17-14 record, and the Golden Hurricane did not make any postseason appearance. Manning is immediately faced with the task of bringing high-level talent to Tulsa. Manning said that he doesn't think name recognition would play any role in immediately attracting recruits, but it might be a way to start conversations.
the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA Tournament in seven seasons at the helm. Manning would like to see that streak end right away.
In his time at Kansas, Manning worked almost exclusively as a mentor to the big men, but he said that the Golden Hurricane will look to play an up-tempo, transition style of play.
"We're going to be respectful young men and humble, but hungry," Manning said "Hungry to get better as young men and as individuals on the team committed to one goal, which is going out and representing TU to the highest honor that we can."
Manning's departure from the Kansas coaching staff leaves Self with the task of finding a replacement, but the Kansas coach couldn't be happier for his long-time protégé.
Edited by Christine Curtin
"He'll represent the school in a first-class way." Self said. "He'll recruit good kids that can play and he'll coach their tails off. He'll have Tulaa competing for championships in a very short time. I personally think it will be a great marriage for both parties."

ETHAN PADWAY

PLAYERS PUT ON THE PADS
The Kansas men's football team will wear pads for the third time this spring as it resumes practices Thursday after having Wednesday off. Thursday will be the Jayhawks' fifth spring practice after they started conditioning the Monday after Spring Break. Weis announced via Twitter that he was giving the team Good Friday off from practice because of a physical week that they had endured. The players will be in full pads for the rest of the spring, except for the April 13 practice. Instead of full pads, players will wear only helmets and shoulder pads.
PLAYERS PRACTICE INSIDE MEMORIAL STADIUM
For the season's third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for "Junior Day." The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.
COACH WEIS RETURNS FROM NEW ORLEANS
Wels returned from New Orleans Tuesday. After Monday's practice, he flew down to support the men's basketball team in the National Championship game.
Since he was hired in December, Weis has been very supportive of the basketball program. He has attended many games and frequently tweeted support for both the men's and women's teams throughout their NCAA tournament runs.
Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Julius Green has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. He was a first team all-district, all-area and all-city selection his senior year of high school. Green redshirted last season.
DEFENSIVE TACKLE
DISMISSED FROM TEAM
DEFENSE WILL PLAY
A BASE 4-3
At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense. He said this does not mean they will always play with four down linemen and three linebackers, but that they will also show some different formations. Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.
MAURA SWITCHES POSITIONS
Sophomore Brian Maura is the only player to switch from one side on the ball to the other now that Weis and his staff have moved him from receiver to safety this spring. Maura played in four
The Jayhawks are still waiting to hear if the NCAA will grant sophomore receiver Justin McCay a waiver that allows him to play immediately. McCay transferred to Kansas from Oklahoma in January. In last week's press conference, Weis said he was informed that the case would be presented before the caseworker left his office last Thursday. The Jayhawks should have the result soon. If McCay's waiver request is granted, he will be allowed to play immediately. If he isn't, he will have to sit out one year before being able to play for the Jayhawks.
FOUR PLAYERS LIMITED IN THE SPRING
STILL WAITING ON MCCAY DECISION
Sophomore running back Brandon Bourbon, junior defensive tackles John Williams and Kevin Young and Maura will be limited during this spring practice season. Weis said at last week's press conference that none of the players are out for the spring, but will be limited in the contact drills.

Christina Edwards, a graduate student from Dubuque, Iowa, is the president of the University's Latter-day Saints student organization. She said temples are a sacred space to members of the church.
Sacred ordinances, like wedding ceremonies and baptisms for deceased relatives, take place in the temple, which also has areas for instruction on the scripture and personal reflection, said William Walker, a Church authority.
The temple, which is one of 137 in the world, was built in Kansas City, Mo., to accommodate the 100,000 church members in Kansas and Missouri. Before the temple was built, they traveled to Omaha and St. Louis to reach the nearest temples.

But the bill concerned some senators as they debated whether AES provided a "long-lasting impact for students,"a requirement used to justify funding from the reserve account.
"I think what this group is doing on campus is fantastic," Dollinger said. "This is better than about 98 percent of the things we spend through the reserve account, but that doesn't mean it's right for this account."

The change was made because the commission had some concerns with early chalking.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
{From the Editor}
Ana Morales
when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do (after I cuss out my alarm) is flip my W
laptop open and check Facebook, then Twitter, then my email and then Twitter again to see if anyone has had anything to say within the past few minutes.
It turns out Twitter is the perfect site for me. I imagine that my account is proof that the world revolves around me and that people wait on the edge of their seats for my next tweet. The world needs to know about the fact that someone has caught me checking myself out for the third time that week or that I'm on my 12th cup of coffee that day. Next thing
I know, it's four in the afternoon and all I have done all day is sit around in my underwear updating my twitter account, claiming I'm being "social." In reality my twitter feed is proving to the world that the only real relationship I have is with my bed and a box of stale Cheez-Its next to me
Okay, that has never actually happened to me, but I guarantee this is someone's reality. Yes, I love Twitter, but I don't let it replace actual interactions with my friends. I don't think that just because I have 837 friends on Facebook (impressive, right?) that I am one of the most popular kids on campus. In fact, I'd bet you a fraction of that number would actually come running if I posted a status about choking on a Cheez-It.
These sites are not actually supposed to catalog every moment of our lives. Use social media to express yourself but limit the time you spend on the web. Flip ahead to our cover story, on page 8, to see how to use popular social media site Pinterest in a positive way.

My life shouldn't be entangled when watching a ball game.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society.

The Hookup
Dear Michelle
My boyfriend and I have great anal sex when we are together; he's usually on top and I'm on bottom. We were really into it the other night and I pooped a little when I was having an orgasm. This has never happened before and I was so embarrassed. He didn't say anything, just went to clean himself. How can I prevent this from ever happening again?
Oops, I Poops!
Dear OTP.
What you describe is not an uncommon experience during anal sex. Stimulation of the colon during anal sex can relax the anal sphincter and promote contractions of the smooth muscle of the colon. Along with the pelvic muscle contractions during orgasm, your body was the perfect storm for your embarrassing moment.
Men can prepare for anal sex a number of different ways. Natural stimulants include water or oil enemas or digital (finger) procedures to loosen stool. Over-the-counter laxatives, such as fiber supplements, chemical stimulants, stool
softeners or saline laxatives, can also help move things along. Although these remedies can help you relieve yourself quickly, I would not recommend prolonged use. What I do recommend is the adoption of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Eat a diet high in fiber, drink plenty of water, avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, or drugs, and take time with your bowel movements.
If you happen to find yourself in the same situation, don't panic. Don't be overly embarrassed. It sounds to me like you have a loving and understanding partner. Stressing about what "embarrassing" thing might occur during the act will prevent you from relaxing and enjoying your sexual experiences with your partner.

Couples Advice:
OLIVIA GRAVES AND CHASE TIENMEYER // RACHEL SCHWARTZ
Olivia Graves and her friend used to show up at Chase Tiermeyer's place anywhere between one and four in the morning. Chase, a senior from Dodge City, would usually be sleeping when Olivia, a sophomore from Mount Hope, would wake him up just to play video games. "It's as if they thought I didn't sleep." Chase says.
After a few months of hanging out in groups, the two went on a double date to a sports bar, which started out awkward, at least for Chase. Their date had what the two considered a fun ending, though, when Chase convinced Olivia to steal her dinner bowl just to be funny. "The first thing I've ever stolen," Olivia says with a smile.
Dating Tip Just have fun. Do things out of the ordinary to keep each other guessing.
Chase and Olivia try to keep things interesting knowing "you don't want to be falling asleep all of the time," Chase says. One time Chase convinced Olivia to go on a motorcycle ride with him. She was nervous, so he just took her around the

block, but she was having a blast, so they kept driving for another hour.
The two also cook together just about every day. "When we're cooking, I get into the chef mode and just start busting out songs." Chase says. "Getting to know someone is more than worrying about how you look or the way you do things, it's about being yourself." It's important to be yourself in front of the person you're dating, the couple says.

My life should be endangered when watching a ball game.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society.

giving the team Good Friday on from practice because of a physical week that they had endured. The players will be in full pads for the rest of the spring, except for the April 13 practice. Instead of full pads, players will wear only helmets and shoulder pads.
For the season's third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for "Junior Day." The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.

missed from the team for a violation of team rules. He was a first team all-district, all-area and all-city selection his senior year of high school. Green redshirted last season.
DEFENSE WILL PLAY
A BASE 4-3
At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense. He said this does not mean they will always play with four down linemen and three linebackers, but that they will also show some different formations. Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.
MAURA SWITCHES POSITIONS
FOUR PLAYERS LIMITED IN THE SPRING
Sophomore Brian Maura is the only player to switch from one side of the ball to the other now that Weis and his staff have moved him from receiver to safety this spring. Maura played in four
in January. In last week's press conference, Weis said he was informed that the case would be presented before the caseworker left his office last Thursday. The Jayhawks should have the result soon. If McCay's waiver request is granted, he will be allowed to play immediately. If he isn't, he will have to sit out one year before being able to play for the Jayhawks.

Sophomore running back Brandon Bourbon, junior defensive tackles John Williams and Kevin Young and Maura will be limited during this spring practice season. Weis said at last week's press conference that none of the players are out for the spring, but will be limited in the contact drills.

THEME SONG TO YOUR LIFE: "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch. The song has a very mellow beat to it, and it's a song I listen to no matter what mood I'm in. It encompasses a variety of emotions. In the lyrics are very powerful.
- it's a good place to have a convo with a friend or study, and I love that it's open 24 hours a day.
The up and coming band Aer is the dynamic duo David Von Mering, 28, and Carter Schultz, 24. David and Carter grew up together in Boston, and after many years of performing with different bandmates, the two decided to take their self-proclaimed "chill theory" to the next level and form Aer. Aer started performing at various venues along the east coast, gaining fans along the way. Now, they are continuing to build their fan base by embarking on a college campus tour across the U.S. I got a chance to sit down with David and Carter as they spoke with ease about their musical style, life on the road and the relationship they share with one another.

The temple, which is one of 137 in the world, was built in Kansas City, Mo., to accommodate the 100,000 church members in Kansas and Missouri. Before the temple was built, they traveled to Omaha and St. Louis to reach the nearest temples.
Christina Edwards, a graduate student from Dubuque, Iowa, is the president of the University's Latter-day Saints student organization. She said temples are a sacred space to members of the church.
Sacred ordinances, like wedding ceremonies and baptisms for deceased relatives, take place in the temple, which also has areas for instruction on the scripture and personal reflection, said William Walker, a Church authority.

"We occasionally get comments that the LDS church is very secretive about things, but really we think we are open," Walker said. "It's not a secret matter. It's a matter of being sacred."
AES' biodiesel fuel project converts used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel, which is used for lawnmower equipment, the inflatable figures at football games and portable power for Potter Lake. But the process also makes a byproduct, glycerin, which program co-director Ilya Tabakh said can be made into liquid soap with this equipment.
Dennis Karpowitz, an associate professor of clinical psychology, is retiring at the end of this semester to serve as one of two counselors to the temple's president.
"I'm going to miss working with students," he said. "But this opportunity came along, and I feel that it's a wonderful way to be helpful."
"I think what this group is doing on campus is fantastic," Dollinger said. "This is better than about 98 percent of the things we spend through the reserve account, but that doesn't mean it's right for this account."
But the bill concerned some senators as they debated whether AES provided a "long-lasting impact for students," a requirement used to justify funding from the reserve account.

The change was made because the commission had some concerns with early chalking.

Breaking up is hard to do ALTHOUGH NEVER EASY, OVERCOMING A BREAKUP CAN MAKE YOU STRONGER.
Depression
// ALIZA CHUDNOW
All it took was one phone call two summers ago for senior Lindsay Ward to know what was coming. She had been dating her boyfriend for nine months, and this phone call was going to end it all. At the beginning of their relationship, they always got along and enjoyed spending time outdoors together. But soon, Ward's then-boyfriend became distant and started acting differently toward her. It was apparent that something in their relationship wasn't the same, and at the beginning of July came that phone call she was dreading. "I was in Dallas for the summer, and he was back in Kansas. Every time we talked he acted different. I wasn't sure what was up with him, and the thought of him cheating on me even began to cross my mind," Ward said. "He hadn't talked to me in four days, and when he finally did, he initiated the breakup."
College is a time to explore mature romantic relationships, so when one ends, it can be extremely painful. After Ward's breakup, she could not fully grasp why things ended how they did. "My first thought was, 'What did I do wrong?'
Ward says. "After all the good experiences we shared, I just couldn't understand why he didn't want to be with me anymore."
A licensed clinical marriage and family therapist, Joyce Thompson, says it's normal for people to experience these feelings, but the most important thing to acknowledge after a bad breakup is what the relationship really meant to you. Was it true love, or do you just miss the companionship? "I always tell my clients not to run away from their feelings," Thompson says. "Figure out what it that was wrong and what triggered the breakup first, then re-examine yourself and what you have learned."
Once summer ended and Ward was back at KU, she realized that she was back in the environment where she always hung out with her ex. Being at school brought back a lot of old feelings she had for him and made it even harder to move on. "It was awkward going to all the places where we hung out together, and made me unhappy to see all of his friends," Ward said. "I felt insecure not having him there with me anymore."
After breakups, moments of insecurity
and sadness happen. Thompson says it is extremely important to surround yourself with trusted friends who will be there for you when you are having a hard time dealing with these feelings.
For Ward, having friends who offered moral support really helped her sort through her emotions. During that school year, she lived in a house with 12 other girls and became close to many of her roommates. When she was upset, there was always someone to talk to and there were people who empathized with Ward's situation. "Through my friends' support and witnessing similar experiences that they went through, helped me realize that my breakup was for the best," Ward said. "Instead of focusing on him all the time I was able to focus on myself."
Brenna Brown, a senior from Wichita had a similar experience. She was dating her boyfriend of almost two years when one night, out of the blue, he sent her a Facebook message to tell her he had cheated on her. "It was like he was trying to get me to break up with him," Brown says. "And it worked. I was devastated; for weeks I was really emotional and irritable."
5 STEPS TO OVERCOMING A PAINFUL BREAKUP
1) Accept the loss:
Come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over.
2) Distance yourself:
Cut all contact with your ex.
3) Grieve the loss:
Don't deny any of the emotions that you are feeling. It is okay to be sad over a breakup. Learn to let your emotions out now, so they don't come back and haunt you in the future.
4) Focus on yourself:
Take time to get to know yourself and what makes you happy.
5) Learn from the experience:
Take responsibility for your actions in the relationship and learn what you do and don't want in your next relationship.
The next couple of weeks consisted of Brown trying to contact him and work it out, but after awhile she realized if she wanted to move on, she had to cut all ties and stop communicating with him all together. "Every time I thought about him, I would try to divert my attention to something else," Brown savs.
Relationship Counselor Linda Stiles believes that although it is important to stay busy after a breakup, it is also essential to honor the need to heal and not ignore any unwanted feelings. "Although difficult, working through a breakup can also be very healing." Stiles said. "Every experience provides some kind of growth opportunity. The more we learn from each experience, the better our future relationships can be."
It may have taken a while, but now, both Ward and Brown are happily dating other people. After meeting their current boyfriends, who make them feel happy and confident being themselves, they realized that it is never okay to settle for someone who doesn't make them feel their best. "I now understand why I was unhappy and know that I never deserved to feel that way," Ward says. "From my past relationship, I learned that nobody deserves to be with someone who doesn't completely love and cherish them."

watching a ball game
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society.

Gathering the Materials
Channing Taylor has admired handmade items since she was young. From vintage Victorian rings to trinket souvenirs carved out of shells, she loves anything that an artist's hand took time to make. Now, as a senior majoring in metalsmithing, she's grown from a crafty, art-driven child into an entrepreneur, selling handmade and repurposed jewelry on Etsy.com, an online commerce site dedicated to vintage and handmade products.
Innovative websites like Etsy and Pinterest have opened doors for young artists like Taylor to showcase their work, bringing a true revival of the handmade to a younger generation. Taylor opened her Etsy shop in 2008, after years of selling her handmade jewelry at craft fairs and at her mother's antique store in Wichita. She appreciates having an outlet where she can sell without having to give a portion of the profits to a retailer.
“It's more individualistic and unique in a world where everything is mass-produced and run of the mill.” Taylor says. “It's nice to see these things that are created out of the mind.”
Her own creations emphasize a mix of eras, with a variation of metals, shapes and colors always adding to a piece's history, but still clearly in Taylor's personal style. Some pieces are asymmetrical, one with metal flowers and an orange chain, another featuring a hanging pendant shaped like the helm of a ship.
"I looked at older pieces but it was hard for me to wear them because they were outdated," Taylor says. "I saw that there was a way to mesh timelines and eras together to make something contemporary and new."
Taylor admits that many pieces she wants to keep because she likes them so much, showing that handmade items aren't just for selling, they're a hobby too. Pinterest, the online pinboard used for content sharing and organization, allows users to explore these hobbies, find what they like and bookmark it as a favorite to a pinboard. With more than three million users since its launch in 2009, Pinterest, in addition to Etsy, has popularized the revival of handmade items.
"It feels good to be a patron, and with Pinterest and Etsy's treasures, people can feel like patrons without even spending any money,"
Eden Detrixhe, a stay-at-home mom and Etsy shop owner from Lawrence says. "In some ways those sites are about the hunt for the coolest new item, like, 'Look what I found!'"
Crafting Your Creation
According to a recent study by RJ Metrics, an analytic company for online entities, Pinterest has grown from having a modest fanbase to a 'Top-100 website' in just the last six months. The website boasts connecting people through 'things' they find interesting; a favorite book or recipe can provide a link between two otherwise unknown people. From planning a wedding to decorating a home, Pinterest synthesizes websites and images into a virtual bulletin board for you, your friends, or even strangers to reference and "re-pin," or pin to their own board, if they like your style.
"I find a lot of really good resources and creative ideas for my lessons," Casey Busch, a senior from Dallas, says of Pinterest. "I really like that you can keep track of things that you maybe want to try later so you don't forget them."
Busch, an education major, has created a hobby of crafting and her house reflects her own handmade decor. From a yellow canvas decorated florally with scrapbooking paper, to a penil holder made from an old tin and clothespins, she says that her crafting is fueled by a desire to save money but is also a love she inherited from her mother.
"It's more of a personalization thing rather than a necessity," Busch says. "I like the idea of owning something individualized that no one else has an exact copy of"
According to the RJ Metrics study, Busch reflects the statistic that the Do-It-Yourself categories of "Home" and "Arts and Crafts" top the charts as the most visited pinboards on Pinterest, followed closely by "Style/Fashion" and "Food."
"Right now it's chic." Detrixhe says of the growing trend of handmade items. "There may have been a time when some people equated 'handmade' with unflattering acrylic sweaters made by grandmothers and aunts and other 'it's the thought that counts' gifts. Tastes have changed and there's wider access to better quality materials and quality handmade

My life show. in the light of
watching a ball game.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment.Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society.

PLAYERS PRACTICE INSIDE MEMORIAL STADIUM
For the season's third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for "Junior Day." The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.

At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense. He said this does not mean they will always play with four down linemen and three linebackers, but that they will also show some different formations. Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.

As each "pin" links back to a different, distinct website, Pinterest is a resource for young artists like Taylor to market their Etsy shops. She recently posted a photo of a handmade necklace on Pinterest, but hasn't seen a major increase in her Etsy sales.
"I don't think I have enough followers there yet," Taylor says with a laugh.
But according to the RJ Metrics study, Etsy.com is the site most linked back to from Pinterest, so there's hope for Taylor. Etsy generates approximately 3 percent of all pins, the most of any site. Although small, the 3 percent is respectable compared with the second place of Google image, which has already gathered images from other websites.
The Final Product
Although artists like Taylor and Detrixhe bypass the retailer to sell their products on Etsy, Made on Mass store owner Jennifer Richards embraces Etsy to find items to sell in her shop downtown at 737 Massachusetts St. She looks for classic, vintage-looking things
that have a new twist and are popular, and especially ones that remind her of things she had in her house growing up.
"People told me at the craft festivals, 'I love Etsy, but I never think far enough in advance to order something.' Or. 'I love Etsy but I really want to feel the cotton of the T-shirt or I want
"People are so creative," Richards says. "It's fun to find out the story behind each artist; some are individuals, some are couples, some are families. I feel like I get to know them from ordering from them and I help them do what they love to do."
Richards began stocking her store using Etsy as a starting point, ordering her favorite items and selling them alongside her handmade children's clothes. She began sewing in college and, after many requests for children's clothes from friends, decided to open shop. She's now transitioned from an online store to Made on Mass, and while she and her husband and co-owner, Matt, used to buy from only 50 to 60 artists online, that number has grown to almost 100 since opening in July of 2011. She sells products from other local artists as well.
to smell the candle first," Richards says of why she opened her store.
Along with the challenges of online shopping, Taylor mentions that price-setting and self-marketing are difficult as well.
"As much as people like handmade things, they don't want to pay the price," Taylor says. "You don't want to under-price, but then you don't want to seem over your head, so it's been hard to balance. It's so much easier and cheaper to buy something fabricated."
The materials and time taken to make a piece must be reflected in price, as well as the originality of vintage and repurposed items. And there's always promoting yourself without bothering people or seeming too pushy, Taylor says. But regardless of the challenges, the consensus holds: Handmade is making a comeback.
“When I give a gift I like to give something that's different, special and unique,” Richards says. “That's why I like to buy handmade.”
What It All Means
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE RJ METRICS STUDY:
Pinterest vs. Twitter
More than 80 percent of Pinterest's pins are "re-pins," or things users find on another user's pinboard and add to their own, showing the incredible amount of websites that Pinterest links together. The analysts at RJ Metrics compared many of the user's activity history to Twitter, and found that only slightly more than 1 percent of tweets are re-tweets, proving what analysts call the "virality" of Pinterest. Ramsey Mohsen, director of social media at Digital Evolution Group in Kansas City, Kan., attributes this to the site's natural passivity.
"Most social networks need you to create content to get the most out of the experience," Mohsen says. "If it's Twitter it's text, with Facebook it's videos, pictures and text. With Pinterest the network doesn't require you to do anything, which seems to be the main draw and real activity that people do online."
Not only does Pinterest condense more websites into one than Twitter, but it also has a higher user retention rate than it, too. While many websites have a decaying pattern of user interest, Pinterest has the opposite. Most users' pinning habits increase from month to month, compared to Twitter where the most tweets per month happen soon after signing up for an account.
"The interface of the site is drastically different than many social networks," Mohsen says. "Leading with images is a main source of engagement. I think that's one of the reasons why it has big draw right now; it's much easier for a person to identify with an image that is visual, not textual.
After completing one study on Pinterest's user engagement, analysts wanted to know what exactly people were pinning. They found that food is finally trumping fashion on the pinboards, a change from when the site first launched in 2009.
From their data, analysts conclude that as Pinterest becomes more mainstream (perhaps even finding a few more male followers) pinning topics become more general, as food surpassed fashion. They expect that this reflects Pinterest's ability to become a more commercialized entity. Mohsen believes that it's possible for the site to stick around for longer than to be considered just a "trend," but it will have to follow suit of its competitor social networks.
"At some point within about a year they will have to evolve the platform and innovate," Mohsen says. "If you look at any major social networks that have stuck around, like Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, they've managed to evolve with new features but not dramatically change it so people don't lose the core interest of why they use it."
"With leisure and access to better and more diverse materials, people are coming up with new exciting things, new spins on old concepts, and also just more stuff, whether it's good or bad," Detrixhe says.
good of luck Although Taylor and Detrixhe's handmade items have been successful, both still hope that the revival isn't just a fad.
Although sites like Pinterest and Etsy may deceive you, handmade items haven't always been as fun and accessible as online entities have recently made them. Detrithe noticed the shift from the necessity of handmaking to the pleasure that now accompanies it.
"So many products made in factories are easily reproduced," Taylor says. "Handmade items impart a history that makes everything unique. Even if you're making several of the same things you're putting your care in it. It's so much more personal."
"I'm reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's books to my four-year-old daughter now, and the family's self-sufficiency, skill, and plain hard work are amazing," Detrixhe says. "Just about everything was handmade because it had to be."
Everything from quilts to toys to houses used to be made by hand. Many things available in stores were simply the raw materials used to put the products together yourself. With the technological advancement of mass production in factories, crafters now have the freedom to create, rather than out of necessity.

The temple, which is one of 137 in the world, was built in Kansas City, Mo., to accommodate the 100,000 church members in Kansas and Missouri. Before the temple was built, they traveled to Omaha and St. Louis to reach the nearest temples.
Christina Edwards, a graduate student from Dubuque, Iowa, is the president of the University's Latter-day Saints student organization. She said temples are a sacred space to members of the church.
Sacred ordinances, like wedding ceremonies and baptisms for deceased relatives, take place in the temple, which also has areas for instruction on the scripture and personal reflection, said William Walker, a Church authority.

"We occasionally get comments that the LDS church is very secretive about things, but really we think we are open," Walker said. "It's not a secret matter. It's a matter of being sacred."
Dennis Karpowitz, an associate professor of clinical psychology, is retiring at the end of this semester to serve as one of two counselors to the temple's president.
"I'm going to miss working with students," he said. "But this opportunity came along, and I feel that it's a wonderful way to be helpful."

Next year, students can expect to wash their hands with studentmade liquid soap on campus. Student Senate approved the bill that finances the Alternative Energy Society during its regular meeting Wednesday night.
AES' biodiesel fuel project converts used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel, which is used for lawnmower equipment, the inflatable figures at football games and portable power for Potter Lake. But the process also makes a byproduct, glycerin, which program co-director Ilya Tabakh said can be made into liquid soap with this equipment.
This bill asked for another $15,000 from the Senate's reserve account to fund soap-making equipment.
AES has produced more than 5,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel and Tanakh thinks the soap-making initiative will push the student organi-
"I think what this group is doing on campus is fantastic," Dollinger said. "This is better than about 98 percent of the things we spend through the reserve account, but that doesn't mean it's right for this account."
But the bill concerned some senators as they debated whether AES provided a "long-lasting impact for students," a requirement used to justify funding from the reserve account.
Aaron Dollinger, a liberal arts and sciences senator, likes the project but didn't believe it should be financed through the reserve account.

Currently, Article XII of the Senate's rules and regulations doesn't regulate chalking, but after this semester's election, coalitions can't chalk until they are officially registered with the election commission, a nonpartisan panel that oversees student elections. The change was made because the commission had some concerns with early chalking.
Dollinger also said the money saved through this process went

Survival Skills:
Doing paper research
Beginning to research for a final paper that is due at the end of the semester can be an overwhelming first step in starting. For me, even narrowing down my topic can seem impossible at times. With so much information available to us through the Internet and books, it's challenging to know where to start.
//ALLISON BOND
Luckily, with seven libraries on campus to choose from, you don't have to look far for help. Two main services on campus help students with research. The Research Help desk, located in Watson and Anschutz libraries, helps students with many aspects of research from narrowing down topics, to finding articles, to helping with citations. "A lot of it is getting people started," says Lori Siesto, a first-year graduate student from Bethpage, N.Y. "It's a very individual process."
Another service accessible to students is "Ask a Librarian." Available during
normal service desk hours at Anschutz and Watson libraries, students can contact librarians through phone, text, IM, email or in person for any help on research. Other services the libraries on campus provide are writing and tutoring help, as well as technology support. So when that final paper of the semester comes around, make it easier by tackling it head on, made with some guided help.

--two-night Replay Records kickoff party. Carroll, Shanks and Campbell pressed 500 copies and all but 100 have sold. The sounds featured on the record range from the spastic energy of This Is My Condition (a one-man band who plays his guitar with drumsticks while singing) to the more poppy punk melodies of Rooftop Viigantes.

Mouthbreathers are a Lawrence punk four-piece. From left to right: Kyle Gowdy, Zach Campbell, Derek Solsberg, Brad Shanks.
Last fall, Lawrence punk outfit Mouthbreakers put out their first 7-inch single, "Anxiety." In the Red Records, a prolific independent label in Los Angeles, released the two-song recording in October.
Though the band formed in 2010 and has only one other self-released tape from January 2011, their first full-length record is slated to drop this fall, once again on In The Red Records. The notorious label is a logical outlet for Mouthbreathers' aggressive, hook-laden style of punk rock.
Now the band has a more localized way to release material: Replay Records. The Replay Lounge owner Nick Carroll wanted to capitalize on the success of last year's "Spring Into Summer" local festival that featured 15 bands, divided between the Replay and Jackpot. So he footed the bill for Brad Shanks, (Mouthbreathers guitarist and Jackpot booking agent) and Mouthbreathers drummer Zach Campbell to organize a compilation record featuring strictly Lawrence acts.
"People realized that there is a lot of good talent in town after we released it," Shanks, 35, says. "Compilations are kinda hard because you usually have a lot of different styles, usually some good and some weak tracks, and some people just don't like certain things. This comp had very different bands, but they all happened to sound good."
The compilation, "Cheap Beer," was released in early December as part of a

to use his Austin connections to book a venue during the festival for six Lawrence acts (all featured on "Cheap Beer") and four other bands. Performers included Bezoar, OBN IIIs, Mean Jeans (all reputable non-Lawrence acts), and Up the Academy, Muscle Worship and Approach. Ben Kimball, guitarist for garage rock four-piece Dry Bonnet, one of the Lawrence bands that played the showcase at the Longbranch Inn, found the showcase encouraging.

Kyle Gowdy (vocals and guitar), Derek Solsberg (bass), 24, Shanks and Campbell played in and with each other's bands for about two years before playing together. Gowdy, 24, started work on a solo project called "Mouthbreathers" and eventually asked the other three to help out live. Gowdy says they initially aimed for a '70s and '80s Portland punk sound, both poppy and dark. The band draws influence from many bands; Buzzcocks and
joy Division to name a couple. Mouth-breathers played around town for about a year before striking the 7-inch deal.
"Honestly we just got really fucking lucky." Campbell, 27, says. "We played the right show in front of the right person at the right time."
It was the Love Garden's 21st birthday show at the music store in February 2011, and Mouthbreathers played with Reigning Sound, another In The Red artist. A Reigning Sound member liked what he heard and put in a word to the founder of In the Red — eight months later Mouthbreathers had a deal.
Charley Downey, 39, who played with Campbell and Shanks in another Lawrence band called Bandit Teeth, says Mouthbreathers appeal to a wider audience than strictly punk fans, even though they come off as simply noisy and aggressive on the surface.
"At first I kind of thought it was just some more garage punk stuff," Downey says. "But they really work some poppy hooks into their songs in an interesting way. It's catchy."
Mouthbreathers have a scary, somewhat psychotic stage presence, but they genuinely enjoy each other's company on-and-off stage.
"It's a lot of fun, even though we're kind of like a four-headed monster," Shanks, of Olathe, says. "We're all attached at the hips so when someone wants to do something we all end up going together. I love touring with those guys — they're my best friends."

AES' biodiesel fuel project converts used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel, which is used for lawnmower equipment, the inflatable figures at football games and portable power for Potter Lake. But the process also makes a byproduct, glycerin, which program co-director Ilya Tabakh said can be made into liquid soap with this equipment.

Next year, students can expect to wash their hands with student-made liquid soap on campus. Student Senate approved the bill that finances the Alternative Energy Society during its regular meeting Wednesday night.
But the bill concerned some senators as they debated whether AES provided a "long-lasting impact for students," a requirement used to justify funding from the reserve account.
Aaron Dollinger, a liberal arts and sciences senator, likes the project but didn't believe it should be financed through the reserve account.

Lacking pure imagination? Hunt down a golden ticket and see the candy man.
The magical, exuberant candy maker from Roald Dahl's beloved children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is coming to Lawrence, courtesy of a Lawrence Arts Center production of "Willy Wonka"
Ric Averill, the show's director and the center's artistic director of performing arts,says the show has a little more music and excitement,but for the most part it follows the same basic plot as the book and movies.
Charlie Bucket, a kind but poor child, wins the chance to go inside the mysterious Wonka Chocolate Factory, along with several other children. Inside the factory, they encounter fantastical creations, their own dark sides and the zany candy man himself.
Averill chose the show because it provides plenty of roles for children. Sixty kids are featured in roles ranging from the lucky tour winners to less tradition roles, like squirrels. Children also get to tackle
one of the most memorable characters in the book, the oompa-loompas. Wonka's orange-skinned, green-haired, pint-sized employees.
The show started last weekend and continues today through Saturday, April 7. Tickets are available from the Lawrence Arts Center or on its website and cost $12 for students.Everlasting gobstoppers are optional.

What do you know about: In-car smart systems
//KELSEA ECKENROTH
When you're driving a car, how many times do you look down to change the radio station, check your cell phone or adjust the air conditioner? Have any of these times ever caused you to almost hit another car?
Paul Atchley, a cognitive psychology professor, along with a team of KU faculty and graduate students from the design, psychology and engineering departments, are working together to make the technology added to cars, such as GPS devices and music players, to reduce distractions on the road.
"Manufacturers add new things and there is too much information for drivers to handle," Atchley says. Engineering students build adaptive displays, and smart dashboards that adapt to what's happening around the car and to the safety needs of the driver. The different displays are tested to see what works and what doesn't work.

A driving simulator is used to test how students respond to different driving situations.
One of the graduate students involved, Chelsie Hadlock, researches how texting features can be integrated into the display. "All of the surveys we've done in the past tell us that drivers who say they text and drive say they do it safely, such as at stop lights," she says. Hadlock plans to use the driving simulator to test how people respond to driving situations while texting.
watching a ball game.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky, are an embarrassment to sports and society.
from practice because of a physical week that they had endured. The players will be in full pads for the rest of the spring, except for the April 13 practice. Instead of full pads, players will wear only helmets and shoulder pads.
For the season's third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for "Junior Day." The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.

At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense. He said this does not mean they will always play with four down linemen and three linebackers, but that they will also show some different formations. Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.

If McCay's waiver request is granted, he will be allowed to play immediately. If he isn't, he will have to sit out one year before being able to play for the Jayhawks.
Sophomore running back Brandon Bourbon, junior defensive tackles John Williams and Kevin Young and Maura will be limited during this spring practice season. Weis said at last week's press conference that none of the players are out for the spring, but will be limited in the contact drills.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM 6.

BANFF, NORTH WEST CANADA. A herd of red deer stands on a steep rocky slope, their thick fur glistening in the snow. They are surrounded by a dense forest of coniferous trees, which provide a natural habitat for these majestic animals. The scene captures the beauty and grandeur of this wilderness area, highlighting its rich biodiversity.

Part of the panorama of North American animals located on of the fourth floor of the Natural History Museum.
The KU Natural History Museum is located at 1345 Jayhawk Blvd. Jen Humphrey, communications director at the museum, says the museum is something that most students walk by every day without realizing what it is or what's inside. Humphrey provided these 10 facts about the museum.
1. Lewis Lindsay Dyche created an exhibit of dozens of taxidermy animals for the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Today, that display is located on the fourth floor of the museum.
2. The museum is located in Dyche Hall, which was constructed in 1903.
3. The University's charter mandated the museum's collections, so the collections of animals, plants and archeological materials date back to the beginning of the University.
4. Less than one percent of the museum's collection of 10.2 million specimens of animals, plants, and archeology material is on display.
5. The resources the museum has are directed at improving one exhibit case at a time, instead of having traveling or changing exhibits.
6. The most popular exhibits are the live bee colony known as the bee tree, the snakes, and Bugtown, which is a combination of both preserved and live insects.
7. The museum invites the Lawrence community to science talks and events, such as Science on Tap, which is a periodic series of talks that take place at Free State Brewery downtown.
8. The museum has a student advisory board for those who want to get involved with the museum.
9. The museum houses the Comanche Preservation. Comanche, a horse, was one of the only survivors of the U.S. Calvary during the Battle of Little Big Horn.
10. The museum is a part of the Biodiversity Institute. The institute conducts research all over the world and discovers new species every year.

STORIE
A PAINT-FILLED DISCUSSION The ongoing dialogue between graffiti artists in the Lawrence community

He shook a black paint spray can as he crossed Mississippi Street, opposite Memorial Stadium. The moon hung in the air like a single illuminated window in an otherwise vacant building. In cursive letters, he painted "love" on the red wooden door of a cement garage.
peared, the curse words and controversial messages stopped, Spencer said. The door was no longer regarded as a bathroom stall-like canvas, but a work of art, worthy of being left alone.
The screen print lasted about two months, Owen said, but "love" remained. Appearing in the backdrop of KU student self-portraits and engagement photos, the graffiti has became an iconic image on campus.
Sammy Owen said he also pasted a screen print, a poster made by passing ink through a mesh screen, of Artemisia Gentileschi on the door that night in 2007. The screen print of Gentileschi, a famous female Italian painter, was adapted from a self-portrait she painted in the 1630s. Together, the spray-painted word and print of Gentileschi — her head tilted, a paint brush in hand — made it appear like the unruly-haired artist was painting "love" on the garage door.
"I never thought either the paste or the word would last longer than a week across from a football stadium, much less become iconic," Owen said.
Deb Spencer, the owner of the garage, said the wooden door was a target for hate-filled messages long before the word "love" appeared. She constantly painted over graffiti, eventually deciding to paint the white door a deep red to deter further vandalism. When the word "love" ap-
"I'm glad that it stopped the vandala-
ism," she said. "I'm glad that it is there."
At the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets, on a rust-colored panel next to a Commerce Bank ATM, a pink and blue painted bird twists its head downward to its thin yellow legs. Simon Bates, the owner of Esquina, said he commissioned local high school students to paint the bird as well as the bathrooms inside of his restaurant.
While the Lawrence community casted its vote on the love piece, the line between graffiti as a form of street art or vandalism is painted with aerosol. It's thin and drips.
"It's not perfect," he said "But it's better than I thought it would be."
the only graffiti to adorn his building. The back of the restaurant, facing the alley, is a choice site for tagging. Tagging, the most basic form of graffiti, often consists of a single-colored stylized signature.
The artwork Bates commissioned is not
"At first, we contacted a couple of guys that do graffiti, but they were really expensive," Bates said. "The high school kids went at it for free, for fun."
Bates, who had never done graffiti before, wanted to join the fun. He sketched a design in a notebook; something he hadn't done since middle school art class. Using the same bubble letters and bold colors he admired in graffiti he saw on his way to work while living in Chicago, he painted a large mural in the kitchen of his restaurant.
"It's frustrating," he said. "I'm always the one who has to paint over them."
According to Lawrence Police Department Policy 14-1003, "The existence of graffiti upon any structural component of any building, wall, fence, sidewalk, curb or structure or other facility on public or private property with the City of Lawrence, Kansas is declared to be a public nuisance and it shall be the duty of the property owner with property defaced by graffiti to remove, abate, or cover such graffiti."
A tag by "Gusto". Tagging is the most basic form of graffiti.
Robert Neff, the Lawrence police officer who oversees the Graffiti Removal Program, said the property owner would be given two weeks to cover or remove graffiti. If the graffiti was not taken care of in that time, the owner would be given another notification, Neff said. He said there was no legal consequence of failing to remove the graffiti, other than constant reminders to do so by the LPD.
One night last spring, Ivan was on the roof of Foxtrot, 823 Massachusetts St., tagging with friends when they were caught by the LPD. Ivan, who did not want his last name disclosed, said there was no escape. He pressed his body
The same cannot be said for graffiti artists who are caught.
against a wall on the roof, as instructed, and waited to be handcuffed. It's been about 11 months since and Ivan has yet to complete his mandated community service hours.
Neff, the Lawrence police officer, said if a property owner found a piece of unauthorized graffiti on his or her property and liked it, there was nothing to stop him or her from keeping it.
Ivan tagged for three months before he was caught. Part of the enjoyment he received from tagging was the thrill, he said, scaling city structures and breaking into abandoned buildings. But, he also found a sense of community. He met people of all ages and backgrounds who wanted to share in the dialogue. The community, like the art itself, was an evolving body. It continuously changed because of artists getting caught, moving away or losing interest, he said. In their place, new artists arrived, wanting to try their hand at graffiti.
"That's OK by the law, I suppose, if it's really pretty," Neff said.
Owen, the graffiti artist who painted "love," said he felt bombarded with billboard advertisements, store markers and street signs. These messages are generated by outsiders and leave little room for a two-way conversation, he said.
"Street art has the ability to reclaim some of that dialogue." Owen said.

have sleek, long hair, black gemstone-like eyes, defined eyebrows, full lips and white, naturally straight teeth. I have features others would envy, but for most of the last seven years, I thought I looked like a monster. Until last year, my junior year in college, I had severe acne and it obscured every other beautiful part of me.
I started getting acne the summer between ninth and tenth grade. During that time, I tried countless natural remedies like honey masks and over-the-counter products that "guaranteed" to work, from well-known brands like Neutrogena and Clean & Clear. I also tried Proactiv and other well known or celebrity-endorsed products. While some products gave me hope by seeing how they helped with friends' acne, they did not help mine, and I sought professional help. After going through two dermatologists and more than 10 different topical and oral medications, my skin actually got worse: oily. red, bumpy, itchy, and occasionally swollen. Some acne, like cysts, were painful to touch, and became deep pits and dents when they scarred.
My third dermatologist asked me to try Accutane, which is typically seen as the miracle pill for severe acne, but also the last resort because of the risk of severe side effects like depression and suicide ideation. I started Accutane in the summer of 2009 while also receiving a laser treatment called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). The laser felt like a rubber band smacking against every pore of my face. The laser felt like a weapon. During those sessions, I clenched my teeth and literally pinched my hands, thinking it would alleviate the pain from my face.
I don't know if it was a side effect of Accutane or not, but I grew depressed that summer. I washed my face with the lights off because I didn't want to see
myself in the mirror. But I'd have to look to apply medication, and I would cry thinking how ugly I looked. Several times I had to re-wash my face and re-apply medication because my tears had washed it off. After telling my dermatologist how I felt, he took me off Accutane and PDT and started different treatments. They involved Vitamin C injections into my veins and having blood drawn for plasma therapy. But of course, neither was effective.
After seemingly endless failures, I lost hope. For five years, nothing worked for my skin no matter how much money, time, or hope I put in. I would think, "Even the horrible people who murder their own families have clear skin. I stay out of trouble. Why me? Other kids have outgrown acne. Why haven't I?" During my sophomore year, my skin was at its worst. It looked like surface of the moon with red bumps and craters, but I refused
to get treatments; it seemed pointless.
I put on thick makeup. I felt defensive meeting new people, assuming they would pity me for my skin. I hung out with people who didn't comment on my acne; some acquaintances would say, "What's wrong with your skin?" "Have you tried Proactiv?" "You would look so pretty if it wasn't for your skin." It was so hurtful. Did they think I would react with a smile? Hell no.
During the summer of 2010, I went to South Korea to visit my family. My mom was concerned to see my worsened acne, and even more concerned to see that I had given up with treatments. She convinced me to start seeing a dermatologist again. I didn't expect the treatment to work anyway, so it didn't matter to me; whatever. But just maybe, if it did, I would have clear skin. My dad also supported me getting the treatments seeing how much acne affected me.
For three months I got weekly acne extraction, cortisone shots and chemical peels, which formed a potato skin-like layer of scab on my face to reveal smoother skin underneath. I was supposed to avoid the sunlight after each peel for a week. With this restriction and scabs on my face, I locked myself at home and devoted most of that summer to treatments. I took three different pills and used two topical medications, while also being on restricted diet to avoid food that might worsen my acne. When I returned to the U.S. for junior year, my skin had finally gotten significantly better for the first time since years of ineffective treatments.
It's been two years since then, and I continue treating my skin with medications and peels. Now my skin is clear enough that when I see myself, I see the beautiful features that have always been there instead of the acne. When I see others, I don't worry that they only see my skin and think I'm ugly. I have been battling acne for seven years. It took me five years to find a treatment that works, and two more years to get my skin to be as clear as it is now. This encourages me whenever I feel hopeless and want to give up. When I think of my long relationship with acne, I'm reminded that if I really want something, I've got to persevere. But I also know that even if I get what I want, I have to keep fighting to keep it.

watching a ball game.
I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride.
Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game.
The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans don't deserve it, even though it's only a pittance of bad appliances that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society.

For the season's third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for "Junior Day." The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.

At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense.

Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.

The recently completed Kansas City Missouri Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is now open to the public.
"We occasionally get comments that the LDS church is very secretive about things, but really we think we are open," Walker said. "It's not a secret matter. It's a matter of being sacred."
The public is welcome to visit the temple for tours, from today until Saturday, April 28, excluding Sundays. Once it is formally dedicated on Sunday, May 6, only church members in good standing will be allowed to enter the temple. Tour reservations can be made online at kansascitymormontempite.org.
Members of the Mormon church came to Missouri in the 1830s and had plans to build a temple in Independence, but it was never completed because church members were forced to flee after years of violent conflicts with Missourians.

AIR GUITARING
Lawrence championship: one stop on road to nationals
For the one minute they perform air-shredding guitar soloes, Union Jack, Snoop Dogg and Monoxide and Sunrise rock stars.
Only they don't have guitars, and those are not their real names, just stage names assumed for Wednesday night's Lawrence Air Guitar Championship at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire Street which featured 16 performers doing their best to entertain a crowd with their pan-tomimed musical instruments.
Eric Melin, also known as Mean Melin, discovered competitive air guitar through a documentary called "Air Guitar Nation" and quickly rose through the ranks, competing in nationals three times. Now he hosts air guitar events in Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence to try to build a more engaged local air guitar community.

Rachelle Landreth, a senior from Shawnee who performs as Sonic Bitch, said she feels that a strong sense of camaraderie has developed amongst local performers, who carpool to competitions and performances.
Landreth said she usually practices her routines in the car, but sometimes starts performing without noticing.
"I was walking around campus listening to a song and caught myself air guitaring." Landreth said with a laugh.
That disregard for public opinion can be an asset to a performer.
"You have to have no shame," Melin said. "It's not about air guitaring the song accurately because that's no fun. For me, it's the ultimate expression of rock and roll fandom."
Whitney Young, a senior from Overland Park who performs under the name Glory Wholesome, said the fact that she does have a sense of shame makes her nervous before performances, despite years of experience and a performance at the Kansas City championship last year.
"I have a couple drinks in me before I start doing anything." Young said. "Usually I don't have anything prepared."
The evening's performances were judged by Joel Pfannenstiel, owner of Astrokty Comics.

SENATE
Bill approved for soap-making
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
Next year, students can expect to wash their hands with student-made liquid soap on campus. Student Senate approved the bill that finances the Alternative Energy Society during its regular meeting Wednesday night.
This bill asked for another $15,000 from the Senate's reserve account to fund soap-making equipment.
AES' biodiesel fuel project converts used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel, which is used for lawnmower equipment, the inflatable figures at football games and portable power for Potter Lake. But the process also makes a byproduct, glycerin, which program co-director Ilya Tabakh said can be made into liquid soap with this equipment.
AES has produced more than 5,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel and Tanakh thinks the soap-making initiative will push the student organization to be more sustainable.
But the bill concerned some senators as they debated whether AES provided a "long-lasting impact for students," a requirement used to justify funding from the reserve account.
"We're asking for continued support this year to give us an opportunity to upgrade our processor a little bit and add soap to our portfolio," Tanakh said. "Hopefully this will set us up to be sustainable at this level."

The Gingrich Group files for bankruptcy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA - The health care think tank created by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is going out of business.
The Gingrich Group, also known as the Center for Health Transformation, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in federal court in Atlanta on Wednesday. The bankruptcy filing marks an abrupt turn for a group that raised millions of dollars just a few years ago to support and promote Gingrich's health care ideas.
"It did exceptionally well under his leadership. What this shows is that he was integral to the operation and success of the operation," Passantino said. "It's not in any way a failure of leadership or
Gingrich cut ties to the Center for Health Transformation and the Gingrich Group in May 2011 as he prepared his presidential run, said his attorney Stefan Passantino.
The center's filings indicate it has liabilities between $1 million and $10 million and between 50 and 99 creditors. The group had assets of only up to $100,000, the filing said.
The filing lists dozens of creditors, including Passantino's law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge, Gallup Inc. and Gingrich Productions, the film company run by Gingrich's wife, Callista.

management on his part. It just demonstrates how vital he was to the organization."
Gingrich's group created the for-profit center in 2003 to focus on health-related initiatives like improved health care technology, Medicare changes and President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. At its peak, it attracted a range of healthcare providers, academics and others who shelled out big bucks to become members, the attorney said.
The former House speaker's campaign has faded from the presidential spotlight after he won the South Carolina primary in January. Since then he has won only the primary in his former home state of Georgia, which he represented in Congress for decades, while Rick Santorum emerged as front-runner Mitt Romney's chief rival.
"It didn't have the same appeal to the members as it had before when he left," Passantino said.

Lottery officials said they still are waiting to hear from the Kansas winner who shares the $656 million Mega Millions jackpot with winners in Illinois and Maryland. Each will receive about $218 million. Lottery winners in Illinois and Kansas have up to a year to come forward to claim their prize.
or Great Bend, lottery spokeswoman Cara Sloan-Ramos said, but they can choose to have their names remain anonymous under state law.
Retailers that sell jackpot-winning lottery tickets receive a $10,000 prize from the lottery. Those that sell tickets worth $100,000 or more get a $1,000 bonus from the lottery.
The prize for the "Match 5" contest previously was $200,000. Kansas sold 10 Match 5 tickets in 2011, which Wilson said would have been "10 additional millionaires" under new rules. The changes in Powerball also raised the starting jackpots from $20 million to $40 million.
The Powerball winner's name hasn't been disclosed. Sloan-Ramos said the winner matched all five white balls to earn the $1 million prize under new rules. The winning ticket matched the white numbers of 1-24-33-45-49. The Powerball was 6.

American businessman remains in Bolivian prison without being charged

evidence to back their allegations that the 53-year-old American may have been laundering drug money.
And this week, the presiding judge quit the case, likely meaning more weeks of delay.
"This is the scam of the century." Ostreicher said by telephone afterward. "I feel like I've been hijacked and kidnapped by people who are hiding behind the law."
The prosecutor would not discuss Ostreicher's complaints with The Associated Press. Nor would senior Bolivian officials, though U.S. diplomats have appealed to them to try to extract Ostreicher from the legal labrinth.
Notebooks featuring Stalin's image feared to portray him as 'hero.' 'Great Russian'
MOSCOW — School notebooks with a portrait of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin on the cover have been causing a controversy in Russia since they went on sale this week.
While human rights activists and historians have warned that the notebooks wrongly instill a positive image of Stalin in children's minds, eager customers have been snapping them up in Moscow bookstores.
In response to numerous pleas to take action, Education Minister Andrei Fursenko said that he disapproves of the notebooks, but has no legal way to stop their publication or sale.
Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953, is a controversial figure in Russia today. Although he was responsible for the deaths of
millions of his own citizens, Stalin is still highly regarded for having led the Soviet Union to victory in World War II and overseeing its rise as an industrial and military superpower.
The notebooks are part of a series called "Great Russians," which places Stalin among famous composers and czars. He is featured on the cover wearing an army uniform studded with medals.
"When children see this magnificent cover with handsome mustachioed Stalin, they perceive him as a hero." Nikolai Svanidze, a television journalist and historian, said in a statement posted on the website of the government's Public Chamber.

Taliban takes responsibility for suicide bombing that left nine injured, two dead

Pakistani security officials secure the area of a suicide attack in Karachi, Pakistan on Thursday. Police say a suspected suicide bomber detonated explosives near a vehicle carrying a senior police official in southern Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD — A Taliban suicide bomber detonated his explosives near a vehicle carrying a senior police official in a southern Pakistani port city on Thursday, killing four people, officials said.
Nine people were also wounded in the attack in the Malir area of Karachi, said Manzoor Wasan, the home minister of surrounding Sindh province. The target of the bombing, Malir police chief Rao Anwar, was unharmed, he said. Anwar had been receiving threats from militants.
Javed Ahmad, a police official, said two people died in the explosion and two died of their injuries at a hospital.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman
Ahsanullah Ashan claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to The Associated Press.
"We targeted him to take revenge for the torture these officers inflict upon our comrades in custody," said Ahsan.
Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and commercial capital and has a long history of ethnic, sectarian and political violence.
Much of the violence is carried out by gangs allegedly affiliated with the city's main political parties. But the Pakistani Taliban and other Islamist militant groups also have a significant presence in the city.

Rebel group declares cease-fire. Mali's president asks for military plan
BAMAKO, Mali — The rebel group that recently seized control of Mali's remote north in a maneuver that effectively partitioned the country in two announced a cease-fire Thursday, saying they had reached their military goal.

ESPN creator speaks about investing in ideas
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
After being fired by the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association 1978, Bill Rasmussen rebounded to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in television.
Rasmussen, who founded ESPN (originally ESP Network Inc.) and started the first 24-hour television network, spoke at the Kansas Union Wednesday night.
The event was hosted by SUA and is a part of the Student Lecture Series. Rasmussen spoke on how he created the first 24-hour television network after being fired on Memorial Day of 1978.
"We hoped the students came away from Bill's speech understanding that there is hope out there and if they have a million dollar idea and no one else believes in them they can pursue it and make it a million dollar idea," Mechler said.
"Once you have an idea, you have to convince investors that it will work or that they will be missing out on a huge opportunity." Rasmussen said during his presentation. "Money is always available for every good idea somewhere."
Rasmussen explained how the idea of a 24-hour sports network came up when he and his son purchased a transponder for a little more than $36,000 a month. The first sports game to be broadcasted by ESPN was a Slo-Pitch Softball World Series game between the Kentucky Bourbons and the Milwaukee Schlitz. Sportscenter debuted September 7th, 1979 and has been on air every day since.
Andrew Mechler, SUA social issues coordinator, said they invited Rasmussen to inspire students.
Rasmussen's presentation included original video footage of an early ESPN and the ESPN original logo.
Rasmussen spoke about the growth of ESPN from having 1.3 million subscribers in 1979 to having over 100 million subscribers in the United States alone today.

New show to feature life in a newsroom
LOS ANGELES — The first episode of HBO's new Aaron-Sorkin-penned series "The Newsroom," starring Jeff Daniels will air on June 24.
In the series, Daniels plays stressed-out news anchor Will McAovy attempting to remake his show after a staff exodus at the fictional Atlantis Cable News. Supporting cast members include "Slumdog Millionaire's" Dev Patel, Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston, Emily Mortimer and Olivia Munn.
The trailer for "The Newsroom" looks as though creator Sorkin is combining two of his previous TV hits: the behind-the-scenes of a TV show excitement of "Sports Night" mixed with the hot-button issues of "The West Wing."

Floyd "Creeky" Creekmore puts on his makeup before a performance in Billings, Mont. Guinness World Records has anointed the world's oldest performing clown, and it's none other than Creekmore, a former Montana rancher who's been donning the big nose and bright makeup for almost eight decades.

Circus performer named oldest clown in the world
BILLINGS, Mont. — Floyd "Creeky" Creekmore is one of the quieter acts in the circus, his larger-than-life clown shoes shuffling methodically as he works the crowd, igniting surprised giggles and slack-jawed wonder from children that look up to encounter Creekmore's wrinkled eyes smiling through thick makeup.
At 95 years old, the former Montana rancher recently dubbed the oldest performing clown in the world has fewer magic tricks up his oversized sleeves than he once
did. He gave up juggling several years ago after a stroke, and has long since parked the home-made bicycle he once incorporated into his acts.
But when the Shrine Circus comes through Billings, where Creekmore lives with his 96-year-old wife, Betty, Creeky the Clown returns to life.
At home in his kitchen, while Betty dozes in the living room, Creekmore pulls on a multi-colored, striped jacket and dons a bright orange wig topped by a yellow hat. He glues on a rubber nose, carefully ties his shoes.
When his shaky right hand sends a line of make-up askew on one side of his face, Creekmore just makes the other side a little crooked, too.
TELEVISION
Others have laid claim to the title of world's oldest clown, including an 81-year-old member of the Moscow Circus, Oleg "The Sun Clown" Popov and Andy "Bumbo" Beyer of Santa Ana, Calif., who was widely publicized as the oldest until his retirement three years ago at the age of 91.
"I'll stay back from the crowd so they don't notice," he says.
Ron Swanson: a man to be admired
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — There are many reasons to watch NBC's marvelously funny "Parks and Recreation," but at this point I only need one: Ron Swanson.
Swanson is played by Nick Offerman, an actor blessed with a deeply melodious voice and wickedly expressive eyebrows who has mastered, if not invented, the art of over-the-top understatement. But Swanson is a sum of several parts — an exquisite creation of Offerman's talent, but also of writing and directing, of hair, makeup and wardrobe.
My love for Ron Swanson is so fair and wild and true that it has become difficult for me to appreciate even the cockeyed wonder that is Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope or the comedy perfect pairing of April (Aubrey Plaza) and Andy (Chris Pratt) if Ron is not in the scene. My love for Ron Swanson is so close to devotion that I have begun to measure every man on television (and more than a few in real life) against him, and all of them fall lamentably short.
And I love him with all my heart.
Which shouldn't surprise me. Though there are plenty of "guys" on television, there are very few men. Ron Swanson is a man.
He wears slacks, not skinny
leans or even pants, and his
Ron Swanson doesn't wear vests and drink tea, doesn't pop Vicodin and sexually harass his staff, doesn't live with two other goofy guys and a girl, or another man and his child. Ron Swanson isn't a smart-mouth member of law enforcement; neither does he murder people ritualistically and then blame it all on a traumatic childhood incident.
sweaters are collared. He is comfortable with firearms. He can fix things that are broken and solve really tough riddles. He is quietly rude and often quite chivalrous. He plays the saxophone.
Ron Swanson laughs like a little girl and gets away with it because he understands things that other humans of his chromosomal order appear to have forgotten, including:
1. HAIR.
A man should comb his hair, after which it should appear combed. I could write a sonnet to Ron's hair, which rises on a semi-Elvis wave, in perfect harmony with the mustache echoing it below.
2. THE MUSTACHE.
After years of enduring the mixed message of carefully tended scruff — "I'm too busy/ disaffected to shave! But I manage to be unshaven in an even and meticulously shaped way!" — it is a relief to see a man with real
facial hair. Sorry, Selleck, there's a new 'stache in town.
3. THE BOD.
4. THE DIET.
Ron Swanson does not look like he weighs less than me. What with the general waifishness of men on TV, I cannot overstate the aphrodisiac effect this has on a woman.
5. THE ATTITUDE.
Steak, bacon and Scotch. Three of the best-tasting, best-smelling things in the world.
Ron is not apathetic, Ron is Zen. He is a public servant who hates 99 percent of the public, a government official who does not believe in government. He will not suffer fools at all, save the fools he has come to love and those he will protect with his life.
When the show began, Ron was just one of a very loose and uniformed ensemble. Part of upper management, his character seemed designed mainly to serve as ballast, the grimacing, feet-dragging yin to Leslie's overly zealous cheerleading yang. Slowly he was allowed glimmers of humanity, through his grudging admiration of Leslie and his mentoring of April, a young woman as antisocial and indif-
2.
Because "Parks and Rec" did not have a real conflict at its heart, or even an uber-narcissist, a la "The Office," the characters have all become a bit more lovable without falling into a sentimental sameness. Miraculously, Ron, like April, has been allowed to maintain his mien of disdain while his otherness has only increased.
Over the years we learned of Ron's bizarre psychosexual past, including his marriages to the glacially powerful Tammy One and addictively kinky Tammy Two (played to great effect by Patricia Clarkson and Offerman's real-life spouse. Megan Mullary, respectively), of his strange childhood spent learning anachronistic skills (in a recent episode, he recounts working in a metal factory and a tannery "while trying to finish middle school") and his firm belief that most government
Even so, Ron remains a man of mystery. His true feelings are revealed only by his actions — whether these be fixing every broken thing in April and Andy's house or spending the day driving all over creation to prove to Leslie that she is trying to do too much.
In fact, he doesn't actually need that, or at least not nearly as much as a Buck knife, a roll of duct tape, a T-bone and a little peace and quiet.
is a waste of time and money.
Unlike the multitude of fractured and unforthcoming antiheroes that crowd the screen, Ron is all action and little talk. And whatever his past, he is past desiring help in dealing with it. Ron isn't nursing some tragic hurt that needs a woman's love to heal; he doesn't need to be fixed, he just needs to be accepted.

Think back to football season. For the first two games, the Jayhawks only two victories of the season, the fan support was incredible. The excitement in Memorial Stadium when our former quarterback Jordan Webb connected with D.J. Beshears for the game winning touchdown against Northern Illinois with only nine seconds remaining rivaled that of Allen Fieldhouse.

After that game, however, the football team traveled to Georgia Tech where they were thoroughly dismantled by the ACC's best Yellow Jackets. Just like that, the support was gone,
and fans began the traditional wait until basketball season talk.
Sure the fans still showed up and cheered, but only until half-time. I remember being one of about 10 students in the student section in the final minutes of the K-State game.
This fair-weather fan nonsense carries into all other sports as well. How many of you could have named two women's basketball players before their NCAA tournament run, after which everyone and their mother was the team's "biggest fan?" Have you ever even been to a game at Hoglund? Do you

want to support a team during the good times, I challenge you to continue supporting through the rough patches. Trust me, it makes the success that much sweeter.
Even men's basketball, one of the top three Division 1 athletic programs, has fair-weather fans. Look at the difference in turnout for the Mizzou lottery versus any other.
While I was in New Orleans this weekend cheering on the Jayhawks, I got to witness firsthand both sides of the spectrum.

TRADITION
Fan pride, support elevate Kansas basketball
ET'S GO
Students celebrate in the bed of a truck parked in front of Pyramid Pizza on Massachusetts Street during halftime of the National Championship against Kentucky. Many Jayhawk fans watched the game downtown.
We've been here before. The University of Kansas is steeped in tradition. Our first basketball coach invented the game and our current coach has taken us to two national championships in the past five years.
By Ethan Lovell

The program consistently produces NBA-caliber players and legendary teams, and we have five national championship banners hanging from the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse.
While we all wanted that sixth banner to be added this year, we will never lose hope in Kansas basketball. This year, a team that returned with only one starter was able to prove the entire nation wrong. Jack Harry didn't think we could possibly win the Big 12 title for an eighth straight time with the big bad Missouri Tigers on the prowl, but we did.
Massachusetts Street in a state of pride and ecstasy.
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
Everyone said this would be a rebuilding year and that we shouldn't get our hopes up, but we did. The heart and determination of our players and coaches made us the second best team in the nation.
Intoxicated antics will undoubtedly break a couple of car windows, but we will stand united as Jayhawks. We'll lift each other up onto our shoulders to see over the crowd, we'll start cheers at every intersection, and we'll give high-fives until our hands hurt.
The bottom line for the Jayhawk nation is this: we'll be back. We've been to the championship before, and we'll be there again. Students at the University of Kansas will have countless more opportunities to sprint out of houses, bars, the doors of Allen Fieldhouse and run to
What we won't do is be classless. We won't riot after big wins, maliciously destroying property, starting fires, and getting into fights. We'll celebrate together, and we'll mourn together, only to return the next season to the hallowed halls of Allen Fieldhouse to participate in our traditions.
Jayhawk basketball will never be about making goofy Internet videos that talk smack we can't back up. It will never be about shooting fellow fans during a celebration, which happened in Kentucky on Monday night. We simply don't need those things. We win together, we lose together, and we stick together.
The celebration on Mass.
Street last Saturday night was the true embodiment of Jayhawk pride. Flags were everywhere, the band was playing, fans lined the rooftops, and everyone was having the time of their lives. People who had never met were
exchanging celebratory hugs, thousands of high-fives and singing the Alma Mater at the top of their lungs, even if it was a little off key.
As long as there is tradition this strong at the heart of Kansas
basketball, we will always be one of the best teams in America.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Jayhawk, Nation.
This past weekend has been incredible!
I had the most phenomenal time in New Orleans cheering on my favorite basketball team in the Superdome. But even though I am sad for our loss yesterday, I came home with a new sense of pride because this weekend I learned what it truly means to be a Jayhawk!
A friend and I hopped in cab with a couple KU fans to get into the city on Sunday morning, as we were about to exit the car one of the guys said, "I got the cab fare today, you guys go have fun and pay it forward when you are in my position."
Sunday evening on Bourbon Street, two great KU Alum were more than willing to have a good time on the dance floor with us; singing and dancing to every song played by the local band. When they bought us drinks, we were again told, "Just pay it forward when you get to be our age!"
The most exasperating feeling though, was walking out of
the Superdome, Monday night. It was pouring rain, and still all across the streets of New Orleans chants of "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" could be heard. Our fans stayed classy and held their heads high despite the loss to a phenomenal Kentucky team.
Almost 1,000 miles from campus, in New Orleans, I learned that being a Jayhawk means sticking together; being proud of your team; and helping each other out whenever you can. I will never forget the lengths that Jayhawk Nation spreads across this country and this world; and who knows, perhaps someday, this universe!
Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! And thanks to all of our past, present and students for making Jayhawk Nation the greatest of them all!

COMMENTARY
Self discovered a new way to win in 2012 season
This year Bill Self reinvented the art of winning.
In one of the most memorable postseason runs in Kansas history, coach Self led his team to an unlikely national championship appearance. But the way this group got there was far different than the program's three previous Final Four teams in 2002, 2003 and 2008.
The 2012 Jayhawks were not gifted offensively. They weren't a great three-point shooting team, and their brand of basketball certainly wasn't the sexiest.
But Kansas ultimately did just what the 2002, 2003 and 2008
Final Four teams did: they won.
A lot.
The recipe for success, however, was unfamiliar to a Kansas program that has been characterized for the last decade by prolific offense, incredible playmaking and NBA lottery picks.
Given the circumstances facing the 2012 Jayhawks — poor depth, limited experience and a lack of firepower — Self knew Kansas' offensive motor couldn't run the way it did when Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and the Morris twins took the floor.
Thus, Self took a page from Tom Izzo's playbook at Michigan
By Sam Kovzan
skovzan@kansan.com
State (or perhaps Brad Stevens' at Butler), abandoning a fast-paced, finesse approach for one of abundant toughness.
Unlike Kansas' three previous Final Four teams, the one spearheaded by Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson hardly overwhelmed opponents. The Jayhawks scored 73.5 points per game (+11.8 scoring margin), averaged 67 offensive possessions per game and shot 47 percent from the field.
Robinson was the only certain
first round NBA draft pick on a team that had zero McDonald's All-Americans.
These numbers pale in comparison to those generated by the previous three Final Four teams. The Roy Williams-coached 2002 squad, who boasted four McDonald's All-Americans and three future lottery picks, led the nation in scoring (90.9 points per game), held a +16.2 average scoring margin and had 79 offensive possessions per game. The players shot 51 percent from the field.
The 2003 national runners-up flaunted similar numbers: 83 points per game, a +15.8 average scoring margin, 74 possessions
per game and a 50 percent shooting clip.
The national championship team from 2008 was probably the most dominant. It included five McDonald's All-Americans on its roster and seven future draft picks. That team averaged 80.5 points per game and smothered opponents by an average of 19 points per game and shot 51 percent.
Since 2002, Kansas has more total wins, NCAA Tournament victories and 30-win seasons than any program in college basketball. Of those seven groups that surpassed the 30-win plateau, the most memorable team may have been the least dominant.
Indeed, what made the 2012 Jayhawks unforgettable was their ability to win — not with talent, speed and finesse — but with toughness and togetherness. Sure, their offensive numbers aren't nearly as impressive. With the exception of Robinson, the highlight reel may not have been as packed.
Nevertheless, the players continued Kansas basketball's all-too familiar trend; they won games.
They just did it in their own way.

Jayhawks to face Baylor in Waco, Texas
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
It's well known that Big 12 softball showcases as much talent as any conference in the country. Just ask the Kansas softball team.
For the fourth consecutive weekend, Kansas (23-10, 02-7) squares off against a 2011 Women's College World Series participant when it faces No. 22 Baylor (24-12, 1-7) in a three-game series in Waco, Texas.
in Waco, Texas.
On paper, though, Kansas likes the matchup this weekend. Both teams rely on solid pitching and defense, speed on the base paths and timely hitting.
"It's going to be real low-scoring
"It's a series we're definitely going in scraping and clawing."
The Baylor pitching staff's 1.59 ERA continues to keep them in games, despite losing All-American junior pitcher Whitney Canyon to a torn ACL in late February.
games, real close games," said junior shortstop Mariah Montgomery. "It's a series we're definitely going in scraping and clawing."
Baylor's 57 stolen bases in 64 attempts rank second in the conference, led by junior Kathy Shelton.
Baylor's offensive stats do not jump off the page, but its pitching numbers do.
Both teams will look to create runs and Kansas' coach Megan Smith knows Baylor makes up for its lack of power with its speedy, aggressive approach on the base paths.
"Baylor is really scrappy offensively," Smith said. "They're quick, they do a lot of short game, they run a ton. It's going to be a challenge for us."
Baylor's batters rank second to last in the conference with eight home runs on the year, a step below Kansas' 20. The team has knocked in a total of 100 runs, 38 less than Kansas, and yet Baylor won a 1-0 game against then No. 7 Oklahoma two weeks ago.
who is a perfect 19-for-19.
Kansas sophomore infielder Ashley Newman, who is a perfect 18-for-18 in stolen bases, will need to provide a similar spark for Kansas.
Smith said Baylor's team resembles an Oklahoma State team Kansas faced two weeks ago. Kansas won two of three games against OSU.
For Kansas, one of the biggest keys will be limiting first-inning runs that have plagued them in recent outings. in 11 games since conference play started, Kansas has allowed at least one run in eight of those games, finishing 3-8 in that span.
MARIAH MONTGOMERY iunior shorstop
Freshman infielder Maddie Stein, who finished 2-for-3 in last weekend's series finale against Oklahoma, acknowledged the need to limit early runs.
This weekend's series will surely be a factor in Kansas' ultimate goal of reaching NCAA Regionals when the regular season comes to an end.
"I think it might put a little more pressure on," said freshman infielder Maddie Stein of giving up first-inning runs. "But we have a stout defense and pitching staff so when we score we have no doubt they're going to hold what we've got going."
Every game counts, but especially those series that are not against Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri - all teams with five or fewer losses on the season - figure to weigh heavily in the selection process in Mav.
四
Kansas will play a doubleheader Friday night beginning at 4 p.m. and conclude with one game on Saturday at 11 a.m.
"We need a good showing down there," Smith said. "This one's big for us."

In the sport of track and field, the West Coast is known for its love of distance running. Today, the Kansas distance runners are set to race in Stanford, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational, where they will get a taste of both West Coast weather and distance competition.

Through the cross country and indoor track seasons, the runners have gained strength in their legs and should begin to run their fastest times as they enter the heart of the outdoor season.
"That's why we come out here," senior Don Wasinger said 800-meter distance runner. "All the best athletes are going to come out here to compete."
At a normal track meet, the distance races are not the most exciting or anticipated for the crowd, but the seats are expected to be full of rowdy track fans by the time the meet begins at 10 a.m.
"There's going to be tons of people, and they have trash cans lining the track, beating them, getting everyone excited for the distance races that a lot of the time get overlooked," said senior Corinne Christensen, who competes in the 800-meter run. "So it's a good atmosphere."

CHESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — It was one of the most brazen moves in the chess world since the Najdorf Sicilian Defense, perhaps even the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit.
Fresh off her second straight national championship, the legendary chess coach at Texas Tech is jumping to another school and taking all the top members of the team with her. No one has ever seen anything like it in intercollegiate competition, not even among powerhouse basketball and football teams that are worth
many millions of dollars.

Similar deals are not uncommon in academia, where a star professor recruited by another school may bring along a cadre of researchers, lab assistants and post-docs. But in the competitive realm, the practice is virtually unheard of.

Webster lured the team with the promise of a greater financial investment.
"The program grew rapidly, and Texas Tech wasn't ready to grow with the speed of the program," said the coach, who founded the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence, known as SPICE, in 2007. "St. Louis today is the center of chess in America. It just seemed like a perfect fit."

THE MORNING BREW There 's no harm in being superstitious
Sane, rational people would make a mockery of my game habits as the Jayhawks made their run to the NCAA tournament championship game. And to be honest, they probably have good cause. Anyone who goes to such great lengths to follow through on their game day superstitions like I did probably deserves to be judged a little bit. Most of the time, it's people like me who take sports too seriously and lose sight of what it really is: a game.
Before the tournament began, I realized that in the winter before the 2008 championship run, I had purchased a red Kansas Jayhawks hat. Somewhere along the next few years of college that red hat disappeared. But I still remember twisting and turning it around my head the night of the championship game, rotating it depending on how the team was performing.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
For the last two minutes or so of the game, the brim of the hat sat off to the left side of my head. I might've looked dumb, but it worked.
After dealing with the team falling short of expectations in the tournament the previous two seasons, I decided that things needed a change; I needed a new Jayhawk hat.
This one was blue and made by a different company, but maybe this would be the object that tilts the tide back in my favor.
It worked for the first three games, but with how closely contested each of them were, I decided I needed to change something up for the UNC game. I kept the hat, but pulled out
my 2008 national championship shirt to accompany it, hoping it had some magic left in its stitching.
After the win that Sunday, it was obvious, that shirt clearly had some affect and would remain the game shirt for the remainder of the tournament (or could at least ward off Roy Williams).
It's not just Jayhawk basketball that brings my sanity to the level of someone who lived in medieval times when people believed that sneezing could allow the devil to enter the body.
During the Packers Super Bowl XLV championship run last season, I became convinced that the Clay Matthews jersey I bought had some kind of magical powers. After all, they went a perfect 12-0 when I wore it.
And I won't be drinking Miller High Life during the next Brewers playoff run because I drank it on the night of the NLCS game 6 Shawn Marcum debacle (he allowed four runs in one inning pitched).
KU
Am I crazy for believing that the t-shirt I have on will honestly have any effect on a game that is taking place hundreds of miles away? Most likely.
And where I watch the game probably has no affect on a player's ability to make a three point shot.
But isn't that what being a fan is all about? Call it superstitions, call it the chaos theory, or call it the butterfly effect. It doesn't matter because no matter what, sports can't be scripted and there is no way of knowing whether the t-shirt I wear has any impact on the game.
So what's the harm in trying?

S sports
Davis is almost too good
SELF'S RECIPE FOR SUCCESS Commentary on Jayhawks' season PAGE 6 KANSAS SOFTBALL SQUARES OFF AGAINST BAYLOR THIS WEEKEND PAGE 6 sports
Now that the campus has digested the National Championship game, I feel it's necessary to put into perspective what kind of competition the men's basketball team faced off against on Monday.
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
We all know about the talent, the youth and the crazy-athletic skillsets from the Kentucky Wildcats.
But there was one that stood above all: Anthony Davis.
Throughout this year I was convinced Thomas Robinson was the Player of the Year for college basketball. This might have to do with me seeing two of the most emphatic plays in Kansas history first hand.
The one-handed slam by Robinson against Baylor that shook the old barn to its very ore, and of course "The Block" versus Missouri.
That block created such a loud ruckus the roof damn near blew off of the Fieldhouse.
Robinson was a monster who developed almost every offensive move needed for a power forward.
Then I saw him against Anthony Davis and my jaw dropped. Watching Davis swat everything away from the rim impressed me to no end.
He was the best player in the country this year. No doubt about it. But what surprised me more than Davis' athleticism was the comparisons that were thrown around the days following.
Then while I discussed my puzzling dilemma with some fellow students, one finally said the name I was looking for; Bill Russell.
It had been bothering me all day.
Monday. How good is this player?
All of those things are similar qualities to Davis; the only thing is developing the same basketball IQ as Russell, an owner of 11 NBA Championship rings and two national titles at San Francisco.
Kansas went up against one of the greatest players of this generation of college basketball and it's nothing new. In 2003, it was Carmelo Anthony and in 2008, it was Derrick Rose.
From what I've read and seen in black and white video, Russell's basketball talents consisted of three things. He wanted to rebound, block shots and win championships above anything else.
Both have gone on to star-studded careers in the NBA. If I had to guess, Davis will end up somewhere in between Anthony, Rose and Russell.
This made me stop in my tracks for a second. Every time I hear Bill Russell's name in the same sentence with anybody other than Michael Jordon I'm always skeptical, but after a few minutes of thought it made sense.
So hopefully this is some comfort for Kansas fans. They had a great run, but you might have witnessed one of the greatest.

On Sports Center, I saw anchors trying to compare Davis to Tim Duncan and Marcus Camby. Those players are good, but they're not at the same level.
FOOTBALL
IMPROVING STRATEGY
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Much like coach Charlie Weis, new defensive coordinator Dave Campo isn't watching film from last year's Kansas football team. And when Campo first addressed his defense, he explained to them exactly what spring football would be — a trout.
"I really don't worry about what the guys did last year," Campo said in a release from Kansas Athletics. "All I care about is what we're doing now."
Campo wouldn't have liked what he would have seen if he were to watch the tape on last year's defense. The Jayhawks finished last in the NCAA in total defense last season, giving up 516.42 yards per game.
So to Campo, and the Jayhawks' coaches, the first five practices haven't been so much about finding talent and implementing schemes. Instead they've been trying to get players to play from the snap that starts the play to the whistle that ends it.
"We expect that the play is going to be going full speed from the beginning to the end and there have been improvements there," Campo said. "I think our guys will continue to get the message that that's all we're going to have on this football team and defensive football team."
Campo said the Jayhawks have drastically improved under his guidance early on, and the opportunity to teach excites him most about the college game. Campo came to Kansas after four years as the secondary coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which was just a small stint in his extensive coaching career.
Since 1971 Campo has been a football coach. Even through all his years, his favorite part of coaching is what led him to the University of Kansas.
"I think my strength is teaching," Campo said. "I really think you have an opportunity to do more than that in college. The guys I liked the best on the pro level were the guys coming in."
And in Campo's five practices of teaching the Jayhawks, he's had a depth chart that he said was fluid. A player may be starting one day, and a new player will be in his place the next.

University of Kansas
Even so, Campo said he has not yet been able to spot leaders in his defense. He said guys like senior defensive back Greg Brown and senior defensive end Toben Opurum have gotten his attention, but it's still too early for Campo to call them leaders.
"I don't think anyone feels that they can step up right now, because they're fighting for their own lives," Campo said. It will continue to be a long spring for the Jayhawks, who have a long way to go as they continue to get used to the new coaching staff.
"The only thing I'm really, really excited about is that our guys are starting to understand what we want," Campo said. "Now it comes down to are we good enough to do certain things, and that's what well find out."

Kansas has hopes of winning Big 12

"Winning series – that's what it's all about in our league," Price said. "If you can go out and have a great weekend in this league, it would be huge to get over .500 with a series sweep. I'm just looking to see if we play as well as we did last weekend."
The Kansas offense has struggled considerably in conference play, ranking last in the Big 12 with 4.6 runs a game and a 2.57 batting average. Friday won't get any easier for Kansas, as Oklahoma State will send out one of the nation's hottest pitchers: junior left-hander Andrew Heaney, who is 5-1 with a 1.69 ERA, 69 strikeouts and just nine walks.
The Jayhawks are coming off a 7-3 loss at Creighton on Tuesday, but coach Ritch Price's squad is hoping that the team wins its second consecutive Big 12 series. After dropping their first four games in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks won two straight games against Texas Tech. This series with Oklahoma State gives the Jayhawks the opportunity to get over .500 in conference play and improve their lackluster 3-8 record in true road games.
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team (12-16) travels to Stillwater, Okla., on Friday to begin a three-game set with Oklahoma State (14-13).
Price said that the Jayhawks would need to focus on hitting the fastball, particularly against one of the more dominant strikeout pitchers in the country.
"He is without question the top-returning pitcher in our league," Price said. "He's projected to be a
The Jayhawks send out their ace in sophomore right-hander Frank Duncan to take on Heaney and the Cowboys. Duncan is 3-4 with a 3.33 ERA, striking out 42 hitters and walking 19. Duncan is coming off a loss to Texas Tech, but he went eight innings and surrendered just two earned runs in the losing effort.
Heaney lasted 3.1 innings against Kansas last season in a 7-2 KU victory, and the young Kansas team will have to follow that same blueprint of clutch, two-out hitting to defeat Heaney again this time around.
first-round draft pick and has great stuff. He's the real deal, and we'll have our hands full. If we can find a way to get guys on base, hopefully we'll put up a crooked number."
Manship went 2-for-4 in last season's appearance against Heaney, and that prior success could be vital against the league's top pitcher.
"When you're getting hits with two strikes and two outs it sends a message to the other team and puts them down a little bit," senior designated hitter Chris Manship said. "In the past we haven't been getting two out hits, but in the last series it really helped us out a lot."
Kansas' right-handed laden lineup will look to take advantage of the matchup against the left-handed Heaney and Kyle Ottoson.
"Some of the guys in our lineup - Marasco, Manship and Elgie - are much better against left-handed pitching than right-handed pitching." Price said. "They're better when the ball break into them, and I think that it is a good matchup."

SAFETY DANCE
ON-CAMPUS CRIME FALLS
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Crime reported on the University's Lawrence campus decreased last year, according to the 2011 criminal offense report released by the KU Office of Public Safety Thursday.
The report showed that 660 crimes were reported on campus in 2011, down 4.6 percent from the 692 crimes reported in 2010.
Major Chris Keary of the KU Office of Public Safety said he was pleased to see violent crime decrease for the second year in a row, which includes robbery,
aggravated assault, rape and murder. Two violent crimes were reported in 2011, compared to three reported in 2010. Within the past 10 years, violent crimes were highest in 2009, with 15 reported on campus.
There were no rapes reported on campus in 2011 with one rape reported in 2010, but Keary warned that rape can be underreported, and it is possible rape was still committed.
Theft is still the most common crime on campus, accounting for 32 percent of crimes reported in 2011, up from 199 in 2010 to 212 in 2011, but Keary said it is
nowhere near as bad as it used to be. In 2001, 362 thefts were reported, accounting for more than 40 percent of crimes reported on campus.
"We have really been focusing on education," Keary said. "We need the community to watch their own stuff. Hopefully, the education paired with the increase in technology will continue to drive that number down."
Keary said the University's office of public safety is adding more cameras on campus, and it has recently installed signs that notify individuals they are being recorded.
Drug and narcotic offences rose 33 percent while liquor law violations were down 25 percent, though Keary said the numbers were part of the same effort.
"The numbers are a result of the University's strong push to do something about the alcohol and drug problem among students, which we are happy to participate in," Keary said.
He added that many of the 55 liquor violations in 2010 and 41 violations in 2011 were issued when the public safety office participated in the Fake ID Taskforce that started after two alcohol-related deaths occurred
on campus in 2009.
Erin Atwood, a senior from Topeka, said she had small things taken from her sorority house, but alcohol is still her biggest safety concern on campus.
"I don't feel unsale living here," Atwood said, "but the one thing I get nervous about in Lawrence is that there may be drunk drivers on the roads."
There were 131 drunk driving arrests in 2010, and 85 drunk driving arrests by University police in 2011. Some of the arrests occurred off campus when drivers displayed signs of intoxication.
Institutional Research and Planning report of 25,448 students in Fall 2011, the crime rate per 1,000 students is 25.9, a number Danny Murdoch, a freshman from Liberty, Mo. feels comfortable with.
"Obviously I know crime occurs, but I think it's a good sign if I don't see or hear about anything happening," Murdoch said. "I think it's definitely a reassuring feeling that there's not a lot of it, and the University does a good job handling it."

Museum displays students' thoughts
The Spencer Museum of Art's "Art Here! Art Now!" event last Thursday night turned students into activists.
"It's just a way to get students out to the museum and see what we have going on," said Emily Bullard, a sophomore from Lakewood, Colo., who serves on the Spencer student advisory board. The evening's events were tied to current exhibits at the museum. Students could make a protest sign, get their photo taken with it and hang it on the outdoor display. They were also invited to write on the chalkboards in the central court that are part of "Prepared: Strategies for Activists," the project of Spencer's artist in residence, Chen Shaoxiong.
Messages on the signs ranged from serious to humorous. Some addressed same-sex marriage and reproductive health rights, while others expressed dedication to popular book characters.
Chloe Seim, a sophomore from Salina, said the night gave students a chance to become activists.
"People seem to want to avoid it because it can be so controversial if you speak your opinions about certain things, but to me, this atmosphere feels really free, so people are more encouraged to voice things." Seim said.
Not everybody at the event felt
the need to voice their opinions. Patrick Lyon, a junior from Lawrence said he was content with drawing on the chalkboards.

he evening, he explored the museum's art collection. Lyon said he particularly enjoyed the way different time periods and cultures were represented.
"Its a way to open people's eyes," Lyon said of the art. "It's
like a visual diary of the past."
Students could also enjoy free food, listen to music and participate in an art-themed scavenger hunt, inspired by the museum's "Cryptograph" exhibition. The exhibition honors Alan Turing, who was instrumental in the development of the modern computer. The scavenger hunt forced participants to "break the code" on works of art throughout the museum.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.
That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.
"I would be surprised if Romney
Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.
doesn't get the number he needs," said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Neyt Gwinrich.
Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.
"Look, Gov. Romney going to be the nominee, and he's going to have enough votes," said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago.
romney's chief rival, forme. Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, is pledging to stay in the race, hoping a victory in his home state's primary April 24 will give his campaign new life. But Santorum has fallen far behind Romney in the
race for convention delegates, and RNC members are taking notice, even though most are publicly staying neutral, preferring to let primary voters decide the nominee.
In the latest survey, conducted Tuesday to Friday, Romney has 35 endorsements, far more than anyone else but a modest figure for the apparent nominee. Gingrich has four endorsements, Santorum has

two and Texas Rep. Ron Paul got one.
RNC members have been slowly embracing Romney. He picked up 11 new endorsements since the last AP survey a month ago, after the Super Tuesday contests. Over the course of the campaign, however, Romney methodically has added endorsements from every region of the country. In the U.S. territories, where voters help decide the nominee but can't vote in the general election, Romney has dominated.
Romney has endorsements from all three RNC members in Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.
PROTESTS
Romney may be struggling among voters in the South, but he was endorsed by two of the three committee members in Mississippi, Henry Barbour and Jeanne Luckey.
He was endorsed by two of the three members in Puerto Rico.

Students protest TSA procedures
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
The Young Americans for Liberty student organization held a protest on Wescoe Beach Thursday to inform students of how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) infringes on the fourth amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizures.
"Taking away our freedoms is not the way to provide security," said Anthony Orwick, president of Young Americans for Liberty.
According to USA Today, TSA pushed for x-ray, full-body scanners in 2009 after the "underwear bomber," Umar Farouk attempted to smuggle chemical powder, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which slipped through the traditional metal detectors.
"It's super creepy and who knows who looked at those pictures. I didn't vote for this," Orwick said.
Orwick has seen examples of full-body scan photos online. He said the pictures looked like the person's naked body.
The Young Americans for Liberty's protest also informed students that Europe has banned the full-body scanners in airports because of its radiation threat to humans.
David Conway, a freshman from Lawrence and member of the Young Americans for Liberty, has a personal connection to this cause. He served in the Army for six years after he graduated high

After landing in a U.S. airport, he was told to get out of his wheel chair to be frisked in front of his fellow soldiers.

Rescue workers attempt to save 135 people after avalanche
ISLAMABAD — Rescue workers used bulldozers Sunday to dig through huge banks of snow following a massive avalanche a day earlier that engulfed a military complex and buried at least 135 people, most of them soldiers, in a mountain battleground close to the Indian border.
More than 24 hours after the disaster at the entrance to the Siachen Glacier, no bodies have yet been recovered, military officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The army said 240 troops and civilians worked at the scene Sunday with the aid of sniffer dogs and heavy machinery, some of which was flown in on military aircraft. They struggled to dig through some 80 feet of snow, boulders, mud and slush that buried the rear
headquarters building in the Gayari sector early Saturday morning.

The U.S. expressed its condolences and offered to help with the search and rescue operation.
The accident in Siachen, which is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region claimed by both India and Pakistan, highlighted the risks of deploying troops to one of the most inhospitable places on earth.

Space officials plan to push controversial rocket launch
TONGCHANG-RL.
North Korea — North Korean space officials have moved all three stages of a long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch, vowing Sunday to push ahead with their plan in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity.
North Korea announced plans last month to launch an observation satellite using a three-stage rocket during mid-April celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. The U.S., Japan, Britain and other nations have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, warning that firing the long-range rocket would violate U.N. resolutions and North Korea's promise to refrain from engaging in
nuclear and missile activity.
North Korea maintains that the launch is a scientific achievement intended to improve the nation's faltering economy by providing detailed surveys of the countryside.
"No matter what others say, we are doing this for peaceful purposes," said Jang Myong Jin, general manager of the launch facility.
Experts say the Unha-3 rocket stated for liftoff between April 12 and 16 could also test long-range missile technology that might be used to strike the U.S. and other targets.

Suicide car bomb kills 38 people during Easter services
LAGOS, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives Sunday morning on a busy road after apparently turning away from attacking a Nigerian church holding Easter services, killing at least 38 people in a massive blast that rattled a city long at the center of religious, ethnic and political violence in the nation.
The explosion badly damaged the
The blast struck Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna state, leaving charred motorcycles and debris strewn across a major road in the city where many gather to eat at informal restaurants and buy black market gasoline. Nearby hotels and homes had their windows blown out and roofs torn away by the force of the powerful explosion, which engulfed a group of motorcycle taximen.
nearby All Nations Christian Assembly Church and the ECWA Good News Church as churchgoers worshipped at an Easter service, the possible target of the bomber. Witnesses said it appeared the explosive-laden car attempted to go into the compound of that church before it detonated, but was blocked by barriers in the street and was turned away by a security guard as police approached.
While no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, suspicion immediately fell on a radical Islamist sect blamed for hundreds of killings in the oil-rich nation this year alone. And some fear the attack could further inflame tensions around Kaduna, a region on the dividing line between Nigeria's largely Christian south and Muslim north.

Former KGB chief shoots for victory in runoff election
TBILISI, Georgia — A former KGB chief and a human rights ombudsman faced each other in
Sunday's runoff presidential election in Georgia's breakaway province of South Ossetia.
Le o n i d Tibilov, who led the region's KGB before falling out with the former local president, won over 40 percent of the vote in the first round last month. Tibilov is expected to easily defeat his rival in the runoff, presidential human rights commissioner David
Sanakoyev, who polled 25 percent in the first round.
Tibilov
South Ossetia depends entirely on subsidies from Russia, which recognized it as an independent state after the 2008 Russian-Georgian war and still has troops there. The ties with Moscow are expected to remain close no matter who becomes president of the province, which has a population of about 50,000.
Only a handful of other countries have followed Russia in recognizing South Ossetia's independence, while a Georgian economic blockade and misappropriation of lavish Russian aid have left the regional economy in shambles with
widespread poverty and massive unemployment.
Critics accused the government of former President Eduard Kokoity of embezzling Russian donations, while thousands of South Ossetians continue to live in half-destroyed houses and apartment buildings with irregular water and electricity supplies.
South Ossetia first tried to elect a new president in November, when former education minister Alla Dzhioyeva appeared to have beaten a rival backed by the Kremlin and the former local president, but the results were disputed and a local court ordered a new vote.
NATIONAL SECURITY
U.N.'s John Bolton visits campus
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton spoke about international threats to the U.S. Wednesday night at the Lied Center, sponsored by the Business School as part of the Vickers Lecture Series, Bolton addressed national security threats he foresaw posed by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Egypt.
"For the last three plus years, we really have not focused on the international environment," Bolton said. "That doesn't mean that our adversaries and challenges around the world have gone because we haven't talked about them adequately."
While Bolton said the focus has turned internally to the economy, he saw international and domestic matters as intertwined.
Bolton outlined the seemingly peaceful rise of China coupled with Russia's attempts to reestablish hegemony as posing instability for the U.S. Bolton then discussed the nuclear proliferation of North Korea
and Iran as threatening Israeli and U.S. security.
"Iran is really the focal point today of our efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation, and let's make no mistake about it, we are failing badly," Bolton said. "Iran is quite close to achieving its 20 yearlong objective of getting nuclear weapons."
The former U.N. ambassador discussed efforts by previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, to negotiate peacefully with Iran.
"We always look for alternatives," Bolton said. "We're out of alternatives."
A question and answer forum followed the speech where Bolton was asked about climate change affecting international policy.
"I don't profess to know enough to know whether the Earth is warming or not warming," Bolton said. "I would not follow the notion that even if all these things are true, that more government control is going to solve the problem."
The speech was met by protests
from Occupy KU, Young Americans for Liberty and Peace Warriors. Before the speech, student members of Occupy KU laid in front of the Lied Center's entrance, pretending to be dead victims of war. Police eventually asked them to move to prevent blocking of the front doors.
"The best we can do is encourage student consciousness and involvement," said Tim Clark, junior from Lawrence and member of Occupy KU.
"I found the talk about North Korea interesting," Alexandrou said. Having studied abroad in South Korea, she said most South Koreans did not seem to feel threatened by the North. Alexandrou disagreed with Bolton on the issue of climate, thinking global warming was indeed occurring and needed to be addressed.
Ariel Alexandrou, a senior from Dallas, attended the lecture to receive credit in her finance class.

Gore's TV network slams Olbermann
LAWSUIT
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Al Gore's Current TV is blasting back at fire host Keith Olbermann.
Current said it doesn't have to "pay a dime" to Olbermann, "who, having already been paid handsomely for showing up sporadically and utterly failing to keep his end of the bargain, now seeks to be paid tens of millions more for not working at all." The papers also point out that Olbermann told David Letterman, during a TV appearance this week, that "I screwed up" at Current.
In a court filing Friday, the network attacked the liberal opinion-maker as "arrogant" and "immature" and said that he had failed to

show up for nearly half of his recent workdays. The papers were a response to Olbermann's $70 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Thursday against Current, which hired him as its star last year but dismissed him in late March after months of turmoil.

MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2012
the former vice president with legal entrepreneur Joel Hyat, accuses Obermann of leaking his $10 million salary to the media to help justify his decision to join Current, which has roughly 68 million subscribers but very low ratings. In "utter disregard" of his contract, the host rejected every idea to promote his program, the papers say, and even banned his staff at "Countdown" from speaking with the executive vice president of communications.
"He arrogantly and falsely calls 'cheap' the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored," the papers say.

Priceless art stolen from British museum
LONDON — Two Chinese artifacts with an estimated combined value of 2 million pounds ($3.2 million) have been stolen from a British museum, authorities said Saturday.
Two "priceless" artifacts were stolen when thieves broke into a ground-floor gallery at the museum; a large jade bowl with a Chinese poem written inside that dates back to 1769, and a Dehua porcelain sculpture.
Two men and a woman from the West Midlands area have been arrested in connection with the Thursday night theft at Durham University's Oriental Museum, but the items had not yet been recovered, police said.

Web series inspires celebrity kiss craze
Mike O'Brien isn't shallow and stuck up like some people! If he likes the person he's in the closet with, "they don't have to be a household name to be considered for my lips," he said. Still, come on; O'Brien likes kissing famous
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — Mike O'Brien is 35 and single, lives in New York and works as a staff writer for "Saturday Night Live." He is earnest and polite, comes from a long line of South Side Chicago Irish and has the gentle features of a choirboy.
Now that you know a bit about this fine young man ... well, it may seem forward but — he would like to make out. With you. Mike O'Brien would like to make out with you. No, no: Please, hear him out. He has this Web series, "7 Minutes in Heaven With Mike O'Brien." It's becoming kind of a big deal. Internet-wise. It's also wonderful, revealing, uncomfortable, funny, sweet and exactly what you'd imagine: O'Brien stands inside a closet with someone, engages in awkward small talk for a few minutes, then makes a move.
people. He's good at it — or rather, good at trying. And famous people like letting him try: Paul Rudd, Ellen DeGeneres, Tracy Morgan, Christina Ricci, Amy Poehler, Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig.
Initially, though, O'Brien just wanted to interview and make out with friends. Last July, he and his colleague Rob Klein were kicking around projects to work on during the "SNI" summer break. They jotted down a few ideas, and "7 Minutes" seemed like the easiest and the funniest. Plus, O'Brien had a little experience: Before "SNI" hired him in 2009, he had spent a decade as a mainstay of the Chicago improv scene, working as an instructor and performer at Second City and iO. He wrote a 30-minute play for Stage Left Theatre about couples who play Seven Minutes in Heaven; he also played Seven Minutes in Heaven himself with his improv friends, "but innocently, at parties, more to enjoy the awkwardness than to do anything else."
Being at "SNL," his proximity to celebrity — and a small budget provided by Lorne Michaels' production company, Broadway Video — changed those modest plans. Surprisingly, the innocence
stayed. Partly because O'Brien, often wearing a tie and a short-sleeve dress shirt and looking like the manager of a Taco Bell, is a self-described awkward person who asks awkward questions amiably ("Can I call you Ron Draper?" he asks Jon Hamm); and partly because the series is so intimate (the cameras trained close to the faces), guests mostly drop whatever facade they typically carry into the usual media-centric situations.
Which places "7 Minutes in Heaven" somewhere between the heartfelt confession of Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast and the surreal improv of Zach Galifianakis' Funny or Die Web series "Between Two Ferns," a talk show that's more of a charming critique of the faked intimacy of celebrity interviews than a talk show.
In fact, "7 Minutes in Heaven" is such a Web success — the first 18 episodes have been watched more than 2.5 million times on YouTube, and O'Brien just began posting the first of 10 episodes he's making for Yahoo — we thought it was only fair that he share tips, should we find ourselves in a closet with a celebrity.
HISTORY

Titanic survives century later
Titanic resurfaces in its extraordinary way over this week with TV specials timed to the 100th anniversary of its sinking this month.
Deep-sea explorer Bob Ballard, who in 1985 found the luxury liner's dismembered corpse strewn across acres of the North Atlantic's floor, brings one of the best for those intrigued by the disaster in "Save the Titanic" (10 p.m. Monday, National Geographic Channel).
Ballard is perhaps the foremost advocate for protecting the wreck, which has become a target for salvors and even deep-sea tourists. On his first expedition to the wreck 27 years ago, he found the ship's crow's nest — from which lookout Frederick Fleet first sighted the outline of doom and shrieked to the bridge, "Iceberg right ahead!" — still high above the deck.
Now mysteriously missing, the crow's nest was knocked off into a cargo hold, he believes, by a rogue Russian submarine that visits the ship's grave with passengers who pay $60,000 for the trip. As more deep-sea vehicles
are developed, the ship will be increasingly looted, he believes. Ballard has been vocal about preserving the wreck as a memorial to those who built the ship and died with it, a stance that has put him at odds with groups like RMS Titanic, which exhibits artifacts it plucked from the bottom in a Las Vegas casino.

From a submarine, Ballard once placed a memorial plaque on the deck of the Titanic. It's gone now. A salvage crew picked it up and dropped it into an exposed toilet on the wreck, Ballard says. "That tells you who you're dealing with." He says he got the information from someone connected to that dive. "Not everyone thought that was cool."
Ireland, where the ship was built and examines the original plans for the liner, the pinnacle of luxury and technology for its time. He interviews descendants of the "Guarantee Group" — nine men who helped construct Titanic and who were picked to represent Belfast's shipbuilders on the maiden voyage. All perished, still revered by their descendants.
"I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Titanic, then I learned about the Guarantee Group," Ballard said in an interview. "They never found their bodies. Their families have been silent for 100 years. It was an honor to tell their stories."

Italian speaking 11-year-olds at a public school in Bologna, Italy. My job is to get them excited about speaking English. Their job is to listen to me ever-so-attentively and take vigorous notes.
After the first couple of days, I realized I had complete control of the classroom. Like most things are run in Italy, I was given no instructions or specifications. Literally, the teacher would walk out and leave me in there alone with them.
This is where it gets fun.
This is where it gets tun. One of my first lessons, I brought in a giant map of the U.S. to talk about all the different states.
I ask them "what places do you know about in the U.S.?" say "New York!"
They say "New York:
"California!" "Las Vegas!"
Texas was also popular. Italian kids love talking about cowboys and the "West." There is an Italian film called "Un Americano a Roma" where the famous Italian comedian Alberto Sordi runs around Rome pretending to be a cowboy from "Kansas City." Almost everyone here has seen this film, so when I say I'm from Kansas, the first thing they think of isn't "Il Mago di Oz" ("The Wizard of Oz") but this Western-style Italian comedy. For them, I am a cowgirl from a farm living in the "West." I've been slowly trying to convince them that they're thinking of Texas.
By Bernadette Myers bmyers@kansan.com
For some crazy reason during our cowboy discussion I decided to bring up the Alamo. Of course Italians don't know what the Alamo is, and I don't really either so who knows why
I mentioned it, but I couldn't just leave it unexplained.
"Well the Alamo is a fort... in Texas. And during this one battle... 100 Texans were in the fort. And they had to hold out against... 1000 Mexicans! And they all died!"
It escalated from there when we got to the middle of the U.S. What in the world can you say about those states that 11-year-old Italian kids will care about? I just completely skipped Nebraska and told them that you can only find buffalo in North Dakota.
Yes, I actually told this completely inaccurate story. I threw in the numbers just for effect, and I really could not remember who was fighting who or what the whole story was.
After this U.S. geography lecture, I spent a day talking about Thanksgiving. It's virtually impossible to explain the politically correct story to a group of non-English speaking children. So, instead the Indians (who they described as red-skinned and as always wearing headdresses) are best friends with the white man and we always eat dinner together every November.
I eventually gave up on actual academic topics because they weren't really into it. Instead, I switched to pop culture. We spent an entire class period on the lyrics to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."
They seemed to like this lecture a little more than my usual lies so the next week I decided to do something a little more interactive.
What is the one song that they play at every middle school mixer?
And everyone knows the dance to?
The Cha Cha Slide!
I explained to them the gravity of the situation. If they even wanted to understand kids their age in the states, if they ever wanted to be "cool," they would have to learn this dance. Face it, it was a big deal in middle school.
First, we went over the key words.
Stomp.
Reverse
Charlie brown.
Very integral English words.
Very integral English words. Then I played the song for them once through. They were silent.
"Ok, this time everyone has to stand up and dance!"
They got up grumbling. I knew what this meant, I wouldn't be able to just sit down and watch them stomp out the steps, I was going to have to "Cha Cha" as well.
Despite the now 10 years since I've been to a middle-school mixer, I still had the moves. They loved me!
Maybe they were just secretly laughing at me rather than at how much fun they were having. All I can say is that when the song finished they asked for it again. So we "Cha-Cha-ed" one more time!
At the end of the lesson, I received my very first standing ovation. My plan is working. I'll be coming home to America with a small army of brainwashed Italian children.

Friendships with partner's parents may cross the line
As we transition in college from high school to real life, we often
become more serious about the relationships we share with our partners. If our significant others are close to their parents, it may be necessary that we are too.
A solid relationship with your significant other's family is important, but there is a point of being too close for comfort.
This Friday I turn 22. When my boyfriend asked me what I wanted from him for my birthday, I said that I'd like his mom to come to town to celebrate. We always have a good time together, and I'd like that again on my birthday weekend.
A few months ago I was sitting in a bar back home catching up with Michelle, a friend who moved back to Wichita. The topic of my boyfriend's mom came up. I told her that I like spending time with my boyfriend's mom, and she seemed surprised.
Michelle said shed feel weird spending that much time with her then-boyfriend's mom, and it made me wonder if my relationship with his mom is weird.
Is it weird that I've once spent a Saturday with my boyfriend's mom making a Joan Rivers sex joke over too-strong martinis then stumbling around the Plaza.
the Plaza together?
Is it weird that I could spend three hours watching TLC with her and I wouldn't feel like I wasted my time?
But there is a line. I love spending time with her, but there is such thing as being too close to your significant other's parents.
My relationship with my own mother is good, but I revel in having a good one with my boyfriend's mom too.
A relationship with our partners' parents is too close when we discuss our dating woes with them before we discuss them with their own kids. This isn't to say that I discourage seeking advice in them. However, we shouldn't consider them a refuge from issues in our relationships with their children.

"I love spending time with her, but there is such thing as being too close to your significant other's parents."
This is problematic because it suggests that there's a break in communication between our partners and us, which can break the whole relationship. If we aren't willing to tell our

partners something, we probably shouldn't tell their parents. It can create tension between us and their folks, so we should save it for the person we're actually dating.
Besides that, the bonding that happens between us and our partners' parents can contribute to a healthy relationship with their children.
Finally, my friends may find my relationship with my boyfriend's mom a little unusual, but I'm happy to have it, and so is my boyfriend. It makes my relationship with her son stronger, and because I want to make

The downside to having such a relationship is that upon a breakup, tension may burn the bridge between us and our exes' parents. However, this isn't necessarily going to be the fate of every relationship. While a romantic connection lasting forever is a long shot, a solid bond with a partner's parents as long as he/she is on good terms with them too does every relationship good.
this one last,
I hope and
expect that my
relationship
with both of
his parents
will become
even more
solid.
The success
of a relationship doesn't necessarily depend on a buddy-buddy friendship with our significant other's parents. However, it's good to make some kind of effort, even if it seems a little forced at first. With time it should evolve into something genuine as we discover mutual interests, like vodka martinis and Say Yes to the Dress, ultimately forming an actual connection.
If we're in serious relationships that hope to sustain, having this kind of relationship with our significant others' parents might be crucial, and this birthday weekend. I'd like to raise a martini glass to mine.

Student makes Glamour's Top 10 College Women
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Traveling the world and capturing images of beauty in unexpected places earned Sarah Stern, a junior from Lawrence, a spot in the pages of this month's issue of Glamour. Stern was selected for the magazine's annual Top 10 College Women feature, which highlights the work of promising students across the country. It's just the latest chapter in Stern's exciting college experience, which has included documenting life in a gang-occupied slum in Rocinha, Brazil for three weeks. Those photos were recently released in a book, "Tavela Da Rocinha, Brazil." Proceeds from the book will go to local arts programs in the community where Stern captured the images.
Before leaving for Paragay, Stern spoke to the Kansan about her adventures and seeing herself in print.
Q: How did you get started taking photographs in Latin America?
A: I put together the things that I love, I love photography, I love
people and I love traveling. It just seemed like a natural fit.
Q: You've had some interesting encounters on your travels, including a brush with a gang lord after he stole your partner's camera. What was that experience like?
A: We were in the favela. He lost his camera because he was taking photos where he shouldn't have been taking photos. He accidentally snapped a photo of someone selling drugs and they came and took his camera from him. I started networking for the next week and a half and that eventually led to him getting his camera back.
I think it was one of those moments where I looked back later and was like, "You are so lucky." But in the moment, it was adrenaline. I just knew that I had to be ok, but I didn't have to be ok obviously. I could have been in a lot of trouble. Later he was arrested. It was in the New York Times. He didn't look like a ganglord like you would expect. He wasn't super scary or anything, but later on, reading the article, I found out he was
like cremating people in the forest.
Q: What was the process like to become one of Glamour's top 10 college women?
A: I was on my way back from Brazil, and I bought a Glamour at the airport. I was reading it on the way back and thought "hmm..." Basically, it's an application process. I turned in some photos and an essay, then the interview process lasted three months. They would call and ask questions. Then they sent an e-mail saying I was a finalist. I was just ecstatic. I think I was in the library studying for something, and I ran outside and called my mom.
Q: Any plans for the future yet?
A: There are a lot of things that I'm trying to combine. I'm trying to fulfill a lot of interests. I have these things that I love and I know them and I know me really well. I try to keep my eyes open for the next opportunity. They have a way of just landing on my doorstep. I try to stay open for the next thing.

Two men work on an oil rig in Kansas' Gypsum hills on Feb. 21. Oil companies have come to south-central Kansas in droves looking to find oil reserves below the ground. The prospect of oil is revitalizing the economies in small-town Kansas.
MEDICINE LODGE, Kan. — Between the buttes and rolling terrain of the Gypsum Hills in south-central Kansas, a massive drilling rig grinds deep into the earth, seeking to reach the oil-rich Mississippi Lime formation buried some 5,000 feet deep. Just beyond the rig, Robert Murdock intently watches its progress and waxes confidently about the wealth under his feet.
"It will enrich the area in a way it never has before economically," the independent oilman says loudly, nearly shouting to be heard above the cacophony of clanging pipes and heavy equipment.
central Kansas, a gold rush-style hunt for oil and gas that players say could yield big returns not just for oil producers but also for the state's economy. The boom is occurring even as natural gas exploration begins to slow nationally.
Prospectors like Murdock are punching holes across south-
In county courthouses across much of Kansas, scores of researchers comb through dusty land records stacked atop folding tables set up in hallways for them, toilering for producers and speculators alike who are scrambling to snap up millions of acres of mineral rights. Leases which just three years ago went for $30 an acre are now fetching $3,000 an acre in drilling hotspots. Awe-struck real estate agents watch incredulously as mineral rights fetch higher prices than the land itself.
old rural roads.
Murdock, president of Hutchinson-based Osage Resources, is among a handful of producers behind an emerging oil boom sparked by modern technologies using horizontal drilling and a technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to coax out oil and gas. Companies have already reaped fortunes off the Mississippi Lime Play in Oklahoma and are now following the rock formation northward into Kansas, where millions of acres of mineral rights have been leased in the past two or three years.

Look hard and you can see the first hints of change wafting through once sleepy rural hamlets. It's already tough to find a hotel room for the night or a rental property to live in. There's talk of possibly setting up "man camps" outside towns to house the anticipated influx of oilfield workers. Restaurants now seem busier than usual. And the local traffic sure feels like it has picked up on those

unfolds as expected, the economic boost in Kansas could be enormous. Severance taxes will swell state's coffers. Landowners will reap royalties. Oilfield workers will find hundreds, if not thousands, of good jobs typically paying $50,000 annually. Main Street business in countess small towns will thrive again.
"This represents an exciting opportunity for growing the Kansas economy while helping to secure greater energy independence for the country," Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said. "It means more jobs and revenue here, fewer American dollars sent abroad. Trying this with our growth in wind energy production will make us a leading energy producing state."
The potential production from the Mississippian Lime Play — and its impact on domestic energy supplies — remains uncertain. But the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to unlock energy supplies previously unavailable in the United States is now in play in places like Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
"We believe this is a game changer," said Shell spokesman Scott Scheffler. "And we hope the Mississippian will be one piece of that."
"We are excited about it and we are hopeful," said Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association. "We just want to be cautious looking at the potential. We don't want to overstate it."
Just ask Kevin White, senior vice president of business development at Oklahoma-based SandRidge Energy Inc. His company has already spent $350 million to acquire nearly 2 million acres of mineral rights in Kansas and Oklahoma — with a majority of those leased acres located across a vast swath of central Kansas.
But with horizontal drilling still in its infancy here, all those economic impacts have yet to be fully felt. Locals, who have seen other oil booms come and go, remain wary.
"Kansas as a percentage of what we are doing will just get bigger and bigger every year because it has got the most undrilled acre- age left that we need to go drill." White said.

EMPORIA — Saturday began with pouring rain, but the sun eventually dried the track at Welch Stadium, allowing the Kansas track and field team to shine at the Emporia State Relays.
The Kansas distance runners traveled to Stanford to compete with the top runners of those events.
With many of the team's best athletes not competing like Mason Finley, Demi Payne, Heather Bergman and Alena Krechyk, it was still a meet that indicated this team is going in the right direction early in the outdoor track and field season. Kansas finished the day with victories in 11 events.
"We wanted some areas to do really well and they did," coach Redwine said. "I was really impressed with Paris Daniels 100 and 200 surprisingly well. Other than that everyone just competed hard today and I was very pleased to see that."
Junior Paris Daniels was impressive in the 200-meter dash and even more so in the 100-meter, setting a meet record. Sophomore Alex English and freshman Greg Lupton each jumped to a personal record in the pole vault. Senior Tessa Turcotte won her first collegiate race in the 5,000-meter race, and junior Josh Baden was the winner of the men's 5,000-meter. Sophomore Diamond Dixon just edged senior Shayla Wilson at the finish line of the 800-meter race, after Wilson led the whole race.
"I think Diamond should be going up to Shayla and giving her a big hug and tell her thank you." Redwine said "Diamond did a good job in passing Shayla at the end, that's just preperation work for her 400."
Still, it was the first and second meet for some of the athletes competing. Junior Danesha Morris wanted a better time than the 55.01 seconds she ran going into the 400-meter dash. It was her first race of the outdoor season, a winning
race that came just .12 of a second from an Emporia State Relay record.
The day ended with the men's 4x400-meter relay and freshman Michael Stigler running the final leg. His Kansas team fell behind the leading Johnson County team. By the time it was his turn, he avoided the loss by running a very fast 400-meter.
"We were in shooting range for first I just knew I had to get out, just stayed relaxed and did everything coach Brewer told me to do and it
paid off right here tonight." Michael Stigler said after the race about what he was thinking when the baton was passed to him.
Even coach Redwine was impressed by the final leg of the freshman sprinter.
"I itch it it was awesome. He ran 46.5 seconds, that's probably his first time running 46.5, he did a phenomenal job and competed exceptionally well."

The Kansas men's golf team begins play today in the Cowboy Classic at Talking Stick Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The 24-team field includes conference foes Texas Tech and Kansas State. The par-70 course raises the importance of the short game.
Senior Doug Quinones takes a chip shot just off the green Monday morning during the Kansas Invitational. During junior college, Quinones played every meet in the number one position.
"The depth is pretty good, there are typically some pretty good teams here," said coach Kit Grove. "It's a good golf course. It's very playable and the weather looks like it's going to be perfect as usual out here."
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
The Jayhawks continue to work on consistency on the course, with players poised to break the top ten at any time, Grove grove said it is a matter of putting it together as a team.
"It's been a strange year. The perfect example is Doug last week," Grove said of senior Doug Quinones. "He plays well the first day and is just outside the top 10, Five days before he playing off for his spot in the lineup. That's just been how we are this year. Our consistency just isn't there."
Six Jajahwks have finished 21st or better this season, but the team hasn't finished better than eighth in any tournament this season. Grove can't put a finger on what is causing the inconsistency, but said the team hasn't done a great job of finishing off rounds.
"It's the biggest cliche in golf, but it's one shot at a time on the course," said Grove. "The young kids get in there, and you hate to say it, but they're still kids, and they start thinking about the tough tee shot they have to hit in two holes versus the easy wedge shot they have right in front of them. For us, it's all about staying in the moment."
Grove focuses on keeping players loose on the course and focusing on the shot at hand. He also helps players pick good targets to aim at off the tee and for approaching the green.
"We need two guys to put it together in the same week, and two more to play decent," Grove said. "We have two guys play poorly everyday, and even in the tournaments where our scores were typically better, we were still counting four, five and six-over for one man. That takes away from the work, hopefully your first three have done."
This approach is especially important with two freshman, Dylan McClure and David Auer, in the lineup.
Gutesha works with a mental coach once a week to help prepare for the mental element of golf.
"You can't let shots affect you," Gutesha said. "Whatever happens, happens. You can't control it. You don't focus at all on outcome goals like your score or what place you want to get. While your playing, you just focus on that shot, and hitting the best shot possible."
Junior Alex Gutesha is familiar with Talking Stick Golf Club. He played there last season and a few times on his own over the summer. Gutesha said he is working on his consistency on the course. He said he is focusing on putting and improving
his scoring over the past week of practice.
The Jayhawks will play two rounds Monday and the Final round Tuesday. After the Cowboy Classic, the Jayhawks head to the Western Intercollegiate April 14-15.

out the first game, Pille made one mistake, a three-run homer, in the bottom of the sixth inning.
"I think it was just a lack of focus." Pille said. "We didn't come in intense and focused and that hurt us."
Smith said the key for Kansas was securing at least one victory against a top-25 team for their ultimate goal of making the NCAA Regionals in May.
Saturday's victory becomes all the more important as Kansas heads back to Lawrence for a 13-game home stand. The victory marks the third conference win for Kansas, the most in a season since Smith took over before the 2010 season.
"It definitely gives us momentum to come win every game we can at home," Naudin said. "We just need to come out like we did the last game every single game. We can't come out like we did the first two games."

Royals begin year with series victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler homered and drove in three runs apiece, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 Sunday, taking two of three in their season-opening series.
Vernon Wells homered in the eighth, but Los Angeles again struggled defensively and on the mound. Ervin Santana (0-1) yielded seven hits and six runs while failing to get out of the sixth inning.
Howie Kendrick and Puijos reached base to open the ninth, but
Jonathan Sanchez (1-0) survived through five innings to win his first start with the Royals, who dampened the revamped Angels' much-hyped home debut with two victories after getting shut out on opening day.
Albert Pujols went 2 for 3 with a double and two walks, driving in his first run for the Angels with a first-inning groundout. Los Angeles' new $240 million slugger went 3 for 10 with two doubles in his first three games at Angel Stadium.
Jonathan Broxton relieved Aaron Crow and struck out Tori Hunter, Wells and Kendrys Morales for an impressive finish to his first save for the Rovals.
Butler hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Hosmer added a two-run shot in the fifth before scoring his third run of the day on Butler's double in the seventh.
Hosmer, the Royals' prized 22-year-old first baseman, also homered Saturday for the majors' youngest team, getting off to a dynamic start to his first full major league season.
After ace Jered Weaver blanked the Royals for eight innings on opening day, the next two pitchers in the Angels' vaunted rotation haven't lived up to their billing.
Sanchez allowed four hits and three walks, but was resilient in his debut for the Royals, who acquired him last November in a trade with San Francisco for Melky Cabrera. Sanchez won 38 games and a World Series ring over six seasons with the Giants, but had a winning record just once in four years as a regular starter.
WOMEN'S GOLF
After two-week break, team ready for next tournament
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
The Kansas Women's golf team competes in the Knights and Pirates Invitational at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Fla., today.
The tournament marks the last tournament of the regular season. The Jayhawks are looking to improve on a 14th place finish at the Mountain View Collegiate after a two-week break.
"We've stayed focused on our short game and we played quite a bit," said coach Erin N.Neil. "The more we can find ways to put them in pressure situations and the more they can practice, we'll start to see that carry over to the course and competition."
The Jayhawks have never played the course at Suntree Country Club. The course features several doglegs, holes that feature a sharp bend in the middle, and water hazards. These obstacles are
leading coach O'neil to focus on course management and keeping the ball in the fairway in practice.
This week's lineup includes senior Katy Nugent, junior Audrey Yowell, sophomores Meghan Poete and Thanuttra Boonrasakas and freshman Michelle Woods.
The two-week break allowed the team's freshmen, Gabriella DiMarco and Woods, to make improvements in their short games and ball striking.
The tournament's 15-team field includes Texas Tech, Illinois Michigan, Wisconsin, Boston College and No. 32 Purdue, alongside tournament hosts Central Florida and East Carolina.
"It's a good mix of teams" O'neil said. "If we could finish well here, it would definitely help in the rankings and be a good confidence boost going into the conference tournament."
O'neil said the keys for Kansas' success this week are keeping the
ball in the fairway off the tee, managing the course well and putting the ball well. These three points have been a consistent theme this season for the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks have developed a sense of team in an individual game.
"Golf is such an individual sport, we've been trying to find ways to promote a sense of team," O'neil said.
One example of this was a worst shot scramble the team played in practice last week. Instead of picking the best ball off the tee shot like in a normal scramble, the three-player groups chose the worst ball, allowing them to practice pressure shots and getting out of trouble.
The Jayhawks move to postseason play after this week's event. They will host the Big 12 tournament in Lawrence April 27-29.

Bags line the hallways, people rushing in and out with their backpacks and briefcases, a normal Thursday in the McCarthy Family Clubhouse. The Kansas baseball team is preparing to load up for a trip down to Stillwater to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
As managers, our main job is logistics, make sure nothing is forgotten when the team leaves for Oklahoma. We spent the night before laying out the jerseys and
travel bags for each player making the trip. Now we scan the locker room and the rest of the facility to make sure no equipment is left behind.
Once the bus is all packed up for the entire team and staff is aboard for the four-and-a-half hour trip, the aisle of the bus becomes a jungle of bodies and limbs as everyone tries to find the most comfortable position to nap or relax. The bus pulls into Stillwater around 6 p.m. and 20 minutes later we are on our way to practice at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. After practice, everyone goes
their separate way to relax and prepare for the next three days.
Traveling with the team as a manager is different than as a player. Throughout the next three days we try to make the players and coaches' lives a little easier. While most college students are partying their weekends away, we are traveling the country, ballpark to ballpark because we love baseball. Our jobs do not have much glamour. Before each game we help with batting practice and after each game Carlos Ramirez and I have the inglorious job of collecting the wet
and rancid clothes from the players for laundry. The fun for us is during the game. Carlos, Alec Hall, Jake Nelson, Travis Ice and I record video and chart the games for scouting reports. The film will be used by the players and coaches between series, or at least we hope.
Friday starts off with a morning hitting session for the team. Then after a few hours of relaxing and a pregame meal at McAlister's we go back to the ballpark for game one. On Friday, the guys batted but just fell short losing 7-6. While everyone on the team is usually a fun
bunch, on a night like tonight our job is to pack everything up and just stay out of the way. They are, for good reason, pretty upset.
By Saturday morning, as we eat breakfast at the hotel, everyone is back to their relaxed self. During the pregame meal senior catcher James Stanfield and I play several different games of Friends with Dice to pass the time. It is a sloppy and wet Saturday so the team has batting practice indoors. Once again the game does not go our way, so we are back to the hotel to rest up, sort through clothes, video
and homework hoping to bounce back Sunday.
While this trip was a little tough for the guys, traveling and working for the baseball team is usually a great time. Whether we are in Nashville, San Antonio or Stillwater, we think we have the coolest college job ever, because we work at a ballpark.

Local fan group 'Mass Street Mob' cheers on Sporting KC
SANTA MARIA
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Los Angeles Galaxy defender Tommy Meyer and Sporting KC forward C.J. Sapong battle each other for control of the ball at Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan., on Saturday. Sporting KC won, 1-0.
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
On the side street of 10th and Massachusetts, the Mass Street Mob gathered for the Sporting Kansas City game.
But this is not the angry, pitchfork-carrying mob that's often portrayed on television. This mob wears matching powder blue shirts and scarfs. This mob sings and claps for their team. This mob, is the second biggest supporting group in the KC Cauldron — Sporting KC's raucous fan section.
So the Mass Street Mob members waited off Massachusetts St. for their buses. They guarded eight 30 packs of Budweiser and Bud Light, in anticipation for Sporting KC's game against the Los Angeles Galaxy, last year's Major League Soccer champions.
"This is going to be wild," Drew Rich, a mob member and Kansas alumnus said.
Then two busses pulled up, with the words "Redy 2 Party" painted across them. Beers were passed out instantly, as it was time to celebrate the Mob heading to it's home — Livestrong Park.
While the group was expecting 60 people to attend Saturday's game against the Galaxy, 100 fans showed up. It's twitter account has 432 followers and its Facebook page has 132 likes.
In only one year, the group has grown from 20 soccer-loving friends in Lawrence, into something bigger.
"It started up last year and it blew up" Mob founder Daniel Novin said. "It came out of nowhere."
One drunken night, Novin, Rich, and their friend Adam Crisasi, decided to act on an idea. The three of them frequently watched soccer games the Red Lyon Tavern on Massachusetts St. For them, it was time to put something together with the soccer fans they knew in Lawrence. They had followed the Kansas City Wizards as it re-branded itself into Sporting KC.
"Basically we knew there was a lot of people in Lawrence that liked soccer," Crifasi said. "We just wanted to group them all together to have a good time."
And a good time is exactly what they were having Saturday.
The Mass Street Mob came
to life on the bus ride. The Mob began to practice the cheers that they would soon be singing for 90 minutes of action.
Finally, it was show time. The Mob made its way into Livestrong Park, took their seats together in the Cauldron, and began to sing and cheer with the other Sporting KC fans.
In front of a sellout crowd, two popular Major League Soccer teams battled back and forth. And the day got better for Sporting KC fan's when Forward Kei Kamara scored in the 40th minute, to give Sporting a 1-0 lead that they would finish with.
And on their way out of the stadium, all the way home to the Red Lyon Tavern, the Mass Street Mob continued to sing. And one of their hymns seemed so fitting.
"We love ya, we love ya, we love ya," the Mob sang. "And where you go we'll follow, we'll follow, we'll follow."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many Kansas players have made it to the NBA?
A: 58; 14 currently play.
kuathletics.com
kuathletics.com
THE MORNING BREW Robinson and Taylor have NBA potential
With the college basketball season finally over, most players will focus
on the offseason to continue to improve and mature. For others, it's a chance to improve their draft stock for the upcoming National Basketball Association draft.
Kansas may not be loaded with top picks, but it does have two players that have a great chance to succeed in the NBA.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
THOMAS ROBINSON,
JUNIOR, FORWARD
In the NBA, organizations draft based on potential. If the player has an athletic body, but doesn't have all the tools to be a star, most teams will select that player and develop him as a player.
Robinson fits that role.
Robinson is 6-foot-10 and weighs 237 pounds. His frame alone puts Robinson near the top with National Player of the Year Anthony Davis of Kentucky,
Add his statistics and Robinson
really shines. The double-double machine led the Jayhawks in scoring with 17.7 points per game and rebounding with 11.9 rebounds per game. Robinson passed Drew Gooden for most double-doubles in a single season with 27.
The downside to Kansas' shining star is his scoring ability. Robinson can make the highlight dunk, but some question his ability to score with different post moves.
Still. Robinson is projected to be selected in the top five of the NBA draft. Athletic big men are huge assets to many teams and some of the worst
teams are lacking inside presence. Robinson has a chance to do very well in the league by being a strong inside presence.
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, SENIOR, GUARD
Unlike Robinson, Taylor won't be going in the first round, but that shouldn't stop him. Taylor has a great chance to get selected.
Taylor has many attributes that can help an NBA team. Taylor is a tall, lengthy point guard at 6-foot-3. Lengthy point guards can cause matchup problems and Taylor fits that role.
As a third team All-American, Taylor can also make plays. There are few guards in college basketball that can attack the basket like he can. His quickness and ability to finish through contact really make him a lethal scoreer.
Although getting to the rim is a positive, Taylor will have to bury jump shots to succeed. He did have five 20-point efforts in the last 11 games, but he still can be inconsistent with his jumpshot.
KU
Don't forget about the three-point arc being pushed back in the NBA compared to the NCAA. Taylor was 1-21 from behind the arc in the NCAA Tournament.
Taylor will be a nice asset for teams that rely on solid point guards and are looking for a backup.
Fourteen players from Kansas currently play in the NBA and after the NBA draft, two more players will most likely join them.

COMMENTARY
Campo's job won't be easy
Dave Campo, Kansas' new defensive coordinator, may have the toughest job in college football.
His task, in a nutshell: Revitalize a defense that was very likely the worst in BCS conferences last season.
Just six starters return, none of whom started regularly before last year. Two of the three best defensive players — seniors Toben Opurum and Bradley McDougald — came to Lawrence for play offense.
In 2011, the Jayhawks gave up more yards per play and yards per game than any other FBS team. Only 1-11 New Mexico gave up more touchdowns.
Kansas was one of seven teams in the country to average less than one sack per game and one of six teams to allow opponents to convert more than 50 percent of third downs.
Finding positives is like finding a winning Mega Millions ticket. Campo has a relatively clean slate, though, and his job is to make this unit acceptable. It won't be easy, but he has the right mindset.
In a press conference Thursday, Campo made it clear that he realizes just how much work his defense needs to do to start being competitive.
But what Campo is really saying is definitely encouraging. He knows he doesn't have a ton of talent, so his players must improve on a daily basis. No starting jobs are guaranteed, so you can bet every player will be gunning on play on Saturdays.
"They weren't very good defensively last year, so to think that we're just going to walk out there and dominate everybody defensively, it's just not going to happen," Campo said, according to KU Athletics. "What we are going to do is make everybody accountable; the guys that we count on are the ones that will play four quarters of football."
Most teams in the Big 12 are looking to fill a couple holes in spring practices, not rebuild an entire unit from the top down.
If Campo can remain zeroed in on his task — making the defense somewhat tolerable and able to keep Kansas in ballgames — the Jayhawk faithful will reap the rewards in a couple of years.
Don't grade Campo on the defense's successes or failures in 2012. Any kind of improvement on last year would be an accomplishment.
Edited by Max Lush
None of what Campo said Thursday is all that encouraging on the surface. No player is a lock to start, which means that there aren't any players with superior talent. Campo talked about players needing to treat spring practices like a trvout.
"A leader can be a lot of things, but usually it's a pretty good football player that everybody has a lot of respect for," Campo said. "At this point, your guys - Toben and Greg Brown - that have played some have more people looking at them, but I don't think anybody feels like they can step up right now because they're fighting for their own lives."
The defense needs a leader or two. Campo said one has yet to emerge.

The Kansas baseball team fell victim to a series sweep at Oklahoma State, dropping the final game of a three-game set 4-2 on Sunday.
The loss drops Kansas to a 2-7 record in the Big 12 and 12-19 overall. A strong showing against Oklahoma State would have given Kansas a spot in the top half of the Big 12 standings, but the Jayhawks failed to take advantage of the opportunity in Stillwater after losing the first two games 7-6 and 11-1.
Kansas currently sits last in the Big 12 standings, and the next conference series begins Friday in Lawrence against top-10 ranked Texas A&M.
Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor took the mound on Sunday, but his bid to salvage the series final game got off to a rough start. Taylor allowed two runs in the first on three hits, but he settled in until the sixth and seventh innings. Taylor allowed four runs on seven hits in 6.1 innings. The loss dropped Taylor's record to 3-4 on the season despite the quality start.
Although Kansas never trailed by more than two runs on Sunday, the Jayhawks were unable to draw even as they struggled with the pitch variety Oklahoma State pitcher Vince Wheelan cruised for 6.2 innings.
"They did a really good job of bearing the breaking ball," coach Ritch Price said. "Their pitchers had been really solid all weekend."
The Jayhawks cut the lead to 2-1 with an RBI groundout from senior catcher James Stanfield, and he supplied Kansas with one of two extra-base hit of the game,
coming on a double in the sixth inning. The heavy dosage of off-speed pitches gave the KU hitters trouble all weekend.
"To their credit, they did a good job with their off-speed pitches," Stanfield said. "They were throwing curveballs and sliders for strikes early, and they would throw fastballs on off-speed counts. It was very difficult to pick up on."
Sunday's loss had its share of
controversy as senior third baseman Zac Elgie and Oklahoma State center fielder Jarrett Higgins were both ejected after a scuffle in the seventh inning. Elgie will receive an automatic one-game suspension, but Price said that Elgie was fortunate the incident did not escalate.
"The guy tried to steal third, and I guess he thought Zac was too hard on the tag with the glove." Price said. "Higgins stood up and
shoved Elgie, and Elgie shoved him back. It'll be a one-game suspension for both players, and had they thrown punches, it would have been a four-game suspension."
Oklahoma State was leading 3-2 at the time, and the Cowboys tacked on a run right after the incident to make it the eventual final score of 4-2.
The Jayhawks' focus now shifts to this week as in-state rival
Wichita State comes to Lawrence on Tuesday for a home-and-home. Stanfield said that the team has to put the weekend behind them and come ready to play against a rival.
"We're ready to get back going again," Stanfield said. "Wichita State has always been a rivalry for us, and we should be more comfortable playing at home."

This time, unlike last weekend, Kansas rallied.
The Jayhawks (24-12, 3-9)
jumped on the No. 22 Baylor
Bears (26-13, 3-7) for six runs in
the first two innings and won the
third game 6-1 on Saturday.
Freshman infielder Chanin Naudin, who was moved up in the lineup from eighth to fifth after Friday's 3-0 defeat in the series' first game, hit a grand slam in the second inning on Saturday.
"That was huge," coach Megan Smith said. "She battled that at-bat and she just killed the ball. It was a no-doubt."
Her first career grand slam followed a four-hit, two-run first inning and gave Kansas a firm grip on the game.
The early lead provided plenty of breathing room for freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (12-6).
Pillle pitched seven innings, allowed one unearned run and struck out six in her second appearance of the series. Pillle said the run support took pressure off her job in the circle.
"It really sets the tone," Pille said. "It shows that we are here to play and shows everyone we weren't there to get swept."
The Kansas lineup also featured freshman infielder Maddie Stein batting in the third spot for the first time this season. Stein started all three games throughout the weekend after earning her first start of the season last week.
Smith admired the poise and calmness of both Stein and Naudin and expects both freshmen to continue to bat toward the top of the lineup.
"They're both clutch hitters," Smith said. "They're very calm, they come through, and they're really good at working hard and making adjustments."
Saturday's victory came after
Despite pitching well through-

KUnited and SPQR make final preparations for election

With Student Senate elections approaching on Wednesday and Thursday, KUnited's presidential and vice presidential candidates, Hannah Bolton and Brandon Woodard, prepare for the strenuous week.
Bolton, a junior from St. Libory, Neb. and Woodard, a junior from Topeka, have been working hard to get students to vote for them in the upcoming election since the end of spring break. Bolton and Woodard said that they have been tabling and that they plan to send out emails and create Facebook events to ensure that more students vote.
"We have been chalking a lot. It's a great way for people to see our name. We have also been chalking our website. The amount of people that have viewed our website has been tremendous." Woodard said.
"We have really been pushing social media, Twitter and Facebook, even if they Google KUnited, it will take them right to our home page and they can find out more of our platforms and what we want to do if elected."
Bolton and Woodard said the platform that has caught the most attention from students is the goal of stabilizing a common grading system between all academic departments.

On Wednesday and Thursday Bolton and Woodard will be located on Wescoe Beach and the surrounding area on Jayhawk Boulevard. The University Events Committee gives permission for the running coalitions to be at Mrs.E's.
"KUnited always forces the administration to look at ways to reduce tuition cost. Two or three years ago passed the tuition compact to decrease student debt, and that is something we will continue to work on in the future." Bolton said.

When asked about campaigning strategies and election plans, KUinited's opposing coalition, SPQR, or "Senatus Populus Que Ramenus," which is a play on words of a Latin phrase about the ancient Roman Republic, declined to comment. SPQR also cancelled a debate with KUinited that was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon without further explanation. In a previous Kansan article, student body president and vice president candidates Gus Bova and Claire Kerwin said their campaign focuses on decreasing student debt, changing the leadership in Student Senate and performing grassroots debates with students.

Spring weather lures students outside
As spring continues to bloom, students are taking advantage of the warmer weather by spending more of their time outside. Whether they are studying, exercising, or simply appreciating nature, students can take full advantage of spending more time outside.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
"When given this beautiful weather, we take the opportunity to sit outside and study," said Brett Hidaka, a senior from Overland Park. "It raises everybody's spirits."
Hidaka and his classmates Jen Berman, a senior from Dallas, and Hayley Mallen, a senior from Leawood, spent Monday afternoon studying for a test for their urban geography class on the lawn west of Anschutz Library. While studying outside can be a refreshing change from studying inside. Hidaka said it's also hard not to get distracted or accidentally take a nap.
In addition to preparing for her test, Berman enjoys people watching and looking at the trees on campus during her outdoor study sessions.
Berman's feelings while outdoors are backed up by science too. A study by the Harvard Medical School found that increased, but limited sun exposure increases Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is linked to fighting osteoporosis, cancer, depression, and heart attacks, according to the study.
"I feel my best when I'm outside." Berman said.
Mallen's favorite part of spring is being able to exercise outdoors.
"it's fun to go out in the morning, design it's still cool," she said. Harvard's study also found
spending more time outdoors helps increase one's overall happiness, concentration and ability to heal from injuries.
Mallen and her roommates, in their first year in an actual house off campus, decided to plant a garden this year where they are growing herbs and perennials.
Mallen also said she enjoys the many on-campus activities that are available outdoors now.
"People are together, and everyone's happy," Mallen said.
Student elections will be held tomorrow and Thursday.

Thirdyear law students BWinters from Owatonna, Minn., and Christi VanBiarcum from St. Louis, won best brief in the Herbert Wechsler National Criminal Law Moot Court Competition in Buffalo on March 31.
Two University Law moot court teams recently won awards in national competitions.
Winters said a brief is a written presentation to a court advocating for a position. Their brief was about whether or not the eighth amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment allowed a 14-year-old convicted of homicide to be sentenced to life without parole.

Another moot court team, Evan Jarrold and Sean Foley, both third year law students from Overland Park, won best brief earlier in the year at the Mardi Gras Sports Law Competition in New Orleans.

Campaign texting raises concerns
NEW YORK — Text messaging is posing both new opportunities and dangers for America's political campaigns.
That texting practice has
The most widely used form of mobile communication, it has become one of the most effective ways for campaigns to reach supporters, using 160-character messages to encourage last-minute donations or provide information such as where to vote. And strict federal rules prohibit such texts from going to anyone who does not "opt in" to receive them.
But some groups have found their way around that requirement, using email — rather than the SMS "short code" that telemarketers normally use — to send unsolicited, anonymous and often negative messages to cellphone lists they purchase through brokers.
angered voters, who are forced to pay if they don't have flat-rate messaging plans. And it's alarmed campaign strategists, who fear political texting will be weakened by the introduction of what amounts to spam texting.
"They've taken a tool and technology we used to help people get voter information and turned it into a very sophisticated way to do voter suppression tactics and annoy people with false and misleading information," said Scott Goodstein of Revolution Messaging, a Democratic-leaning mobile communications firm. "Worse yet, people are being charged to receive these messages."
Goodstein has filed a complaint about the practice with the Federal Communications Commission, whose Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits telemarketers from texting "to any telephone number ... or any
service for which the called party is charged."
Unsolicited messages hit the presidential campaign this year, when texts targeting Republican Mitt Romney surfaced in Colorado, South Carolina and Michigan. Voters received texts urging them to call a number where they heard a recorded message criticizing the former Massachusetts governor.
Spam texts have popped up
in congressional campaigns in states including Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Missouri and Minnesota. They've also appeared in sey-
eral state legislative races.
"to identify social and fiscal conservatives throughout America and engage them at the grassroots level in the political process." Several voters in Wisconsin received messages from txt(at)aicpac.org during Gov. Scott Walker's clash with public employee unions last year, asking, "Do you agree government unions are being too greedy?"
"Texting is the cleanest channel available to engage with supporters."
Some of the texts have been followed back to Americans in Contact PAC, a Republican-leaning group whose mission is

campaign largely pioneered the use of political text messaging. That's the way supporters were alerted that Obama had selected then Delaware Sen.
Joe Biden to be his running mate, for example.
This year, with social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook a much greater political
communications tool than they were in 2008, the Obama re-election campaign is using texts more selectively.
Strategists for Romney, the favorite to be the Republican presidential nominee, have been building up the campaign's texting program in hopes of competing with Obama for the number of supporters it reaches.
texting is the cleanest channel available to engage with supporters"Romney digital director Zac Moffatt said, adding that the proliferation of third-party groups spam-texting voters was "a real problem for us. People blame the campaign."
Political text spamming has also created challenges for the mobile telephone industry, which reaps significant profits through text messaging and so is eager to halt any mischief that undermines consumers' use and confidence in texting.

The Obama administration said Monday it would consider both a rocket launch and an underground nuclear test as highly provocative and leave Pyongyang more isolated.
South Korean Army soldiers watch a TV news program which shows North Korea's Unha-3 rocket at Seoul train station in Seoul, South Korea, Monday. North Korean space officials moved all three stages of the long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch.
"In the Security Council in New York, I anticipate that the council would convene to discuss this and to respond in a credible fashion, both to the missile launch and to any potential additional subsequent actions," she said.
Observers fear a repeat of 2009, when international criticism of the North's last long-range rocket launch prompted Pyongyang to walk away from nuclear disarmament negotiations and, weeks later, conduct its second nuclear test.
Officials suspect nuclear testing site
SEOUL, South Korea - Recent satellite images show North Korea is digging a new underground tunnel in what appears to be preparation for a third nuclear test, according to South Korean intelligence officials.
The excavation at North Korea's northeast Pungye-ri site, where nuclear tests were conducted in 2006 and 2009, is in its final stages, according to a report by intelligence officials that was shared Monday with The Associated Press.
Its release comes as North Korea prepares to launch a long-range rocket that Washington and others say is a cover for testing missile technology that could be used to fire on the United States.
"In each case this would be an indication of North Korea's decision at the leadership level not to take the steps that are necessary to allow
North Korea to end its isolation, to rejoin the community of nations and to do something about the extreme poverty and deprivation that its people suffer." White House spokesman Jay Carney told a news briefing in Washington.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and current Security Council president, told CNN on Monday that "either or both developments would be a blatant violation of North Korea's international obligations under Security Council resolutions."

Suicide car bombings kill victims of all religions, no arrests have been made
(2)
ASSOCIATED PRESS
People gathered around the wreckage of a damaged road side tea shop following an explosion in Kaduna, Nigeria Monday, April 9, 2012. A suicide car bomb killed at least 38 people in Nigeria over the weekend.
KADUNA, Nigeria — The suicide car bombing that killed at least 38 people in Nigeria claimed victims across its religious and ethnic lines, showing clearly everyone is at risk in this nation often violently divided against itself.
Young Muslim men of the Hausa Fulani people of Nigeria's north burned to death in Sunday's blast, pinned under the weight of their motorcycle taxis. A passer-by from Nigeria's southwest Yoruba people found himself thrown to the road in the explosion. The blast tore apart businesses owned by Christian Igbo people of the nation's southeast.
All those who spoke Monday said they wanted Nigeria's weak central government to stop the violence now spreading across the country, including attacks carried out by a radical Islamist sect. However, authorities in the northeast said the sect known as Boko Haram had killed
four people, as soldiers in the northern city of Kano found another car bomb ready to explode.
Sunday's blast struck the capital of Kaduna state, apparently after the suicide bomber turned away from attacking a church holding a morning Easter service. The car exploded at a busy junction about 200 meters (yards) away, tearing apart makeshift restaurants made of discarded lumber there serving cheap rice patties to the city's working poor.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blast, though suspicion immediately fell upon Boko Haram. Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north, is waging an increasingly bloody fight with security agencies and the public. More than 390 people have been killed in violence blamed on the sect this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.

Museum refuses to 'glorify' Stalin
GORI, Georgia — A museum that has honored Josef Stalin in Georgia since 1937 is being remodeled to exhibit the atrocities that were committed during the Soviet dictator's rule.
Georgian Culture Minister Nika Rurua said Monday that his nation, which became independent in 1991, can no longer host a museum "glorifying the Soviet dictator."
Stalin was born Josef Dzhugashvili in the central Georgian town of Gori in 1879, and the museum opened here in 1937, at the height of purges that were later dubbed the Great Terror.
The gigantic museum includes
the house where Stalin was born and some 47,000 exhibits, including his personal belongings and death masks.
It remained open despite the de-Stalinization campaign and denunciation of his personality cult declared by Stalin's successor Nikita Khrushchev in 1956.
According to the prominent Russian right group Memorial, Stalin ordered the deaths of at least 724,000 people, while millions died as a result of the forced labor system in Gulags, the Soviet prison system.

Civilians join military to fight al-Qaida
SANAA, Yemen — An al-Qaida attack Monday on a Yemeni army post in the south set off clashes that left 44 people dead and prompted local civilians to take up arms alongside the military to beat back the militants, said army officials and residents.
The dawn attack demonstrates how al-Qaida's branch in Yemen has exploited the political and security turmoil following the country's yearlong uprising, managing to take control of large swaths of land in the south and staging increasingly bold attacks on the military.
The officials said the militants attacked an army position in the town
Residents and military officials said 24 militants were killed in the clashes. Additionally, 14 soldiers, including a colonel, were killed battling the militants Monday, officials said.
Yemen's military in the south, poorly equipped and low on morale after a series of bloody al-Qaida attacks, has not been able to fight the group and its supporters alone. In cities like Lawder, residents have become fed up with the government's inability to protect them and, in a country where tribes posses weapons, have taken up arms to protect themselves.

Rock wall name contest for rec comes to a close

Next week, students could be climbing The Chalk Rock, Jay Rock or Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain. All three names are finalists in the Ambler Student Recreation Center's competition to rename the rock wall.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Kevin Dinh, a Junior from Liberal and member of the KU Rock Climbing club, boulders at the rock wall at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
The competition was announced last month, and the submissions have been narrowed down to three. The competition was created to draw attention to the rec's Outdoor Pursuits Program, which includes the 42-foot rock wall, a challenge course and outdoor equipment rentals.
Finalists used different strategies to sell their ideas in brief YouTube videos. Davis Mcelwain's "The Chalk Rock" video featured enthusiastic toddlers clad in Jayhawk t-shirts yelling "Chalk Rock." Team Jay Rock, comprised of Julie Louau from Shawne and Amelia Wailou, proposed the name while climbing
the wall. Hannah Babcock from Bentonville, Ark., came up with Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, and her proposal was given by an elderly man.
Rebecca Goering, the rec's communications coordinator, said that she received five entries. They were judged on
creativity, relevance and tastefulness.
So far "The Chalk Rock" has 80 percent of the 377 votes that have been cast. Voting is open through the rec's Facebook page until Friday. The winner will be announced Monday.

Santorum's daughter may be released from hospital soon
WASHINGTON — GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum's hospitalized daughter could be released Monday, his campaign said.
Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley said 3-year-old Bella was doing much better and could be discharged from a northern Virginia hospital by the end of the day.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bella was hospitalized Friday as her father began a brief holiday break from campaigning. He did not campaign Monday so he could be with his daughter, who suffers from a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 18.
"The family hopes to take her home from the hospital very soon," he said.
Santorum faces an uphill battle against front-runner Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. The contest next turns to Santorum's home state of Pennsylvania, where both men plan to campaign heavily and where Romney is airing $2.9 million in TV ads against Santorum.
Gidley said Santorum's campaign schedule Tuesday would depend on his daughter's health, but that "we have a full day of events planned tomorrow, so he should be back on the campaign trail."
In deference to Bella's illness, Romney's campaign pulled down a harsh ad that was running against the former senator in Pennsylvania. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said Monday the campaign asked TV stations over the

weekend to pull the ad and replace it with a positive, pro-Romney spot instead.
Bella was hospitalized in January with pneumonia and Santorum left the campaign trail, ahead of the Florida primary, to care for her. The campaign has not provided details of her latest hospitalization.
While Bella doesn't travel with her father, she is a frequent presence in his campaign.

The kids are horror movie "types" — the libidious blonde (Anna Hutchison), her jock beau (Chris "Thor" Hemsworth), the jock's sensitive, "brainy" pal (Jesse Williams), the lovelorn innocent (Kristen Connolly).
Joss Whedon amusingly deconstructs the human race's need for frights, boogeymen and "Saw" sequels with "The Cabin in the Woods". It's a serio-comic blend of "Screan" and "The Adjustment Bureau", more clever than brilliant, more high-concept than meticulously thought-out spoof.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Not your average horror movie spoof
Producer and co-writer Joss Whedon, left, works with co-writer and director Drew Goddard on the set of "The Cabin in the Woods."
In the best "Friday the 13th" tradition, the kids ignore the first sign of warning — the redneck filling-station owner.
They find the cabin, which is remote, rustic and filled with creepy touches, animal sacrifice paintings, masks, puzzles and Latin phrase books out of a horror movies ranging from simple ghost tales to "Hellraiser" extravaganzas.
As the kids lurch toward their fate, the stoner mutters through his smoky haze that they're being watched, that the "puppets" are being manipulated by "puppet masters." And every so often, the film skips off to a vast complex where the stoner's theories are borne out. That's the "Adjustment Bureau" side of the story.
Whedon (TV'S "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," "Alien Resurrection") and director Drew Goddard skip back and forth between these two settings, and all I'll say about the "Bureau" world is that it stars Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, and its arcane technology and cumbersome chain of command provide most of this "Cabin's" laughs.

'Three Stooges' is highly anticipated
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — The sound of "nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" will be heard across the land when "The Three Stooges" — the Farrell brothers' long-awaited tribute to the slapstick comedy legends — opens Friday, introducing the trio to a new generation of knuckleheads. Although Western civilization has long been divided by certain insoluble cultural questions (Ketchup or mustard? Betty or Veronica? Toilet paper — over or under?), there's never really been any question about which Stooges to bring to the big screen.
PAGE 4
"You can't make the first big-screen studio movie about the Stooges," said writer-director Peter Farrelly, "without it being Moe, Larry and Curly."
But the Farrellys are purists — of a sort: Their own Stooge-inspired oeuvre includes "Dumb & Dumber," "There's Something About Mary," "Me, Myself & Irene" and "Hall Pass." At the same time, in their version of "The Three Stooges," the characters have a backstory: The three brothers (it was never clear that Larry was anybody's brother) are not, for instance, dropped on the doorstep of
The fact is, there were a lot of Stooges, if you count everybody who got bopped, boinked and banged around since the act started in 1922.
the Sisters of Mercy orphanage. The duffel bag they're in is thrown from a speeding car. (Upon opening said bag, Sister Mary-Mengele, played by Larry David, got poked in the eyes by Baby Moe.)
And the studios simply didn't get it. "They didn't see how to bring characters who made films 70 years ago into a present-day setting," he said. "And there was some bad luck, too." The project was at MGM, and MGM went bankrupt. It been delayed for a lot of reasons."
Essentially, said Peter Farrelly, the movie's stars — Chris Dianapontolos ("Up All Night." "24") as Moe; Sean Hayes ("Will & Grace") as Larry, and TV vet Will Sasso as Curly
"We'd meet with big movie stars," Farrelly said, "and they'd say, 'I want to do my take on Larry'. And we'd say 'Uh, no ... we want you to do Larry as Larry, copy his every mannerism, his nasal voice, his Philadelphia accent', and they didn't like that. It was daunting for an actor. We kept losing our people."

Children getting bullied inspires documentary
DETROIT — A parent who's experienced the tragedy of bullying is giving the new documentary "Bully" his endorsement.
Kevin Epling is the father of Matt Epling, a Michigan teen who took his own life in 2002 after enduring bullying. Michigan's new anti-bullying law, "Matt's Safe School Law," was named in honor of his son.
Epling and his wife, Tammy, attended a screening of "Bully" last month at the Uptown Film Festival in Birmingham, Mich.
"It's a very powerful film that shows the inside of what our children are going through," he says.
"Having to sit and watch made us relive our own loss," Kevin Epling says. "It brings that heartbreak back."
But he thinks "Bully" is a necessary movie for a culture that has too long ignored the topic and viewed bullying as a kids-will-be-kids problem.
"it's giving the topic national exposure, because nobody would talk about it," he says.
Seeing the movie — which covers five families affected by bullying, including two who've lost a child to suicide — brought back painful memories for the couple.
Eping has a cameo in the movie in footage near the end of a "Stand for the Silent" anti-bullying rally held in Lansing, Mich., in 2011 that's part of a montage. He met the director, Lee Hirsch, and one of the documentary's subjects, Alex, last year at an event in Washington, D.C.
For about a decade, Eping has been a vocal part of the anti-bullying movement, a cause that's been around a long time but has only recently been covered extensively by the national media. He's co-director of Bully Police USA, a grassroots anti-bullying group. Currently, he's trying to set up school screenings of "Bully" with a major movie chain.

I remember as a kid seeing advertisements and pictures of Camel Cigarette's mascot Joe Camel. Seeing him with his sunglasses, leather jacket, and sitting on a motorcycle, I thought he was cool. At the age of five or so, I didn't know it at the time, but I was being, in a way, tricked into thinking that smoking was cool. At that age, what I perceived to be cool was the motorcycle and the jacket, but Camel wanted me to think something else was cool—smoking. In 1997, Joe Camel was terminated because it was claimed that he was targeted toward young kids to get them to want to start smoking.
Twelve years later I stopped thinking the leather jacket was cool, but I still bought into Joe Camel and began smoking.
of second hand smokers. Coming home from the bar, without even smoking and reeking of a human ashtray is a thing of the past. Non-smokers may still catch of waff of smoke while out on the back patio, but it is nothing like it used to be.
On April 1, I made the decision to stop smoking (one of the reasons why I chose that day was because if I failed in my attempt, I could just say "April Fools!"), and with the stress of watching KU play in the National Championship on April 2, I failed miserably.
After decades of people lighting up wherever they may please, smokers are now being pushed outside and into designated areas. No longer can you light up at your favorite bar, or after your meal at IHOP, which still amazes me that less then five years ago I could do so in my hometown of Wichita.

Some students will justify cheating with incentives
I think everyone at some point has at least thought about cheating on a test. What goes into whether someone cheats or not?
By Michael Sofis msofis@kansan.com
This is an interesting concept because we all have probably cheated on something at some point in our lives. When you were a child you may have focused more on the risks of getting in trouble by the teacher or being called "cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater." But is cheating really as simply assessing the risk reward ratio? Well-known Behavior Economist Dan Ariely says it isn't that easy.
Ariely's overarching explanation to cheating is called the "fudge factor." He explains that we try to both feel good about ourselves and benefit from the opportunity to cheat. The "fudge factor" is the amount we are willing to cheat while not feeling awful about ourselves.
In one study, Ariely put Coke bottles in undergraduates' refrigerators in random dorms on a college campus. When going back to check all the free Cokes were gone. Then, Ariely and his team put $1 bills in the refrigerators and all were still there when the team returned. When you
take money, it is difficult to frame your decision to steal in a positive fashion. A Coke bottle though, because it is removed one step from money, can more easily be validated as socially acceptable.
So how do we get ourselves to not cheat? Ariely ran a study where subjects were split into groups where they either read the Ten Commandments in one group or their favorite ten books in the other group. Both groups were then tempted to cheat on a simple task where they were rewarded with money based on their performance. They found that the participants with the Ten Commandments never cheated while high rates of cheating were reported in the control group.
This seems odd, especially when self-identified Atheists responded to the study just as the others. One potential explanation is a behavioral theory called Relational Frame Theory. When we remember a situation for instance, we connect various words, images, sounds, and smells together within a certain context. When Ariely framed the task
as immoral, even Atheists connected immoral activity to their current situation.
If you've ever considered cheating on test but didn't, what made you stop? It's likely that in addition to the moral factor our past experiences of being caught or not influences a current decision to cheat or not. This is behaviorally looked at as your history of punishment or reinforcement. If you've gotten away with cheating since an early age you might be less susceptible to the fear of being caught or even the moral restrictions on your behavior. It is complicated to give someone advice on their moral character but the best way to start is to be consistent with your behavior in relation to potential cheating circumstances. Additionally, be consistent with any religious or general moral code you adhere to so as not to leave yourself susceptible to potential gains in a typical cheating situation. And lastly, the next time you're tempted to cheat on a test, think of this article and me framing your decision: Don't cheat!

LEGISLATURE
Funding distributions bill takes 73 days of decision
After 73 days in session, the Kansas Legislature adjourned for its annual break without passing a budget. Mind you, this was 73 days in session with a Republican governor and substantial Republic majorities in both the House (77-48) and Senate (30-10) and still no budget was passed.
What's worse is that it appeared the House and Senate had reached a budget deal, as a team of three House and three Senate members had worked to create a passable budget. However, when it went to the House, the Appropriations Committee Chairman, Marc Rhoades, stopped the bill from going to the House floor over a $24.6 million budget provision for public schools.
The dispute was not over the amount of spending, but rather the source of the funding. The House wanted the money taken from the transportation department while the Senate and Governor Brownback wanted it funded by general state revenues. The legislature could have passed the budget and determined the source of funding at a later time. This was unacceptable to Rep. Rhoades and House Speaker Mike O'Neal because the Senate would "win," since if no agreement was reached the default was for the payment to come out of general funds.
So, the House blew up a $14.1 billion budget deal because they disagreed with the Senate about the source of the funding for a $24.6 million provision. The House did not want to "lose" against the Senate over

an expenditure that amounts to 0.17 percent of the budget. Something's wrong when that is how legislative decisions are made.
Not passing the budget may have some serious effects on government functioning as well. The Kansas Supreme Court may have to close courts and furlough employees without pay. The Kansas State Parks systems may also be affected. Not passing the budge also resulted in the Senate killing a congressional redistricting bill, deferral of ax negotiations, and potential jeopardy for reinstated funding of the arts.
Democrats and members of the Senate harshly criticized the House for their actions. Sen. Carolyn
so many of the legislators are indeed Republicans. Surely members of the same party should have been able to reach an agreement to pass a budget. However, on many issues, there is such a split between House Republicans and Senate Republicans that it is resulting in drawing out legislative decisions that need to be made.
The unwillingness of the House Republicans to compromise on the funding for a $24.6 million expenditure, a relatively small amount relative to the budget, shows the problems with viewing legislation in terms of winning and losing. When legislating becomes all about winning and losing the real losers are the people of Kansas. We depend on our legislators
"The dispute was not over the amount of spending, but rather the source of the funding."
McGinn (R-Sedgwick) noted the Senate had "issues that we gave up" too. Sen. John Vratil (R-Leawood) reacted by saying, "A deal was struck. I can't believe it" when it became clear a budget not be passed. House Minority Leader Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) thought, "there's simply no excuse for the legislature not completing this process by now."
I have to confess that I share Paul Davis' reaction to the Kansas Legislature being unable to come to an agreement on the budget. Especially since
to make laws that provide the best, workable solutions. These solutions often involve compromise.
Now, I realize that there are maybe certain issues legislators will be unwilling to compromise on, but this funding issue was one where a compromise could have resulted in a passed budget and no concerns about potential government shutdowns. The budget fight shows the importance of legislators picking the right battles to fight. This was a battle clearly not worth fighting.

Pitching inconsistency leads to struggles
ANDREW JOSEPH
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team (12-19) will host Wichita State (19-15) Tuesday as the pitching staff and offense look to bounce back from a disappointing weekend in Stillwater.
The Javahawks will play today at 6 p.m. at Hogland Ballpark and then travel to Wichita for Wednesday evening's return-matchup with the Shockers. Freshman pitcher Robert Kahana will take the mound tonight, and freshman pitcher Drew Morovick will follow up Wednesday.
After losing four-straight games - one at Creighton and three at Oklahoma State - the Jayhawks will need a solid pitching performance from Kahana. The entire pitching staff struggled against Oklahoma State; the Jayhawks allowed more than seven runs per game during the three-game stretch.
"We need to get a better starting pitching performance what
we've been getting," coach Ritch Price said. "We've had three bad starts in a row on three consecutive Tuesday night games."
Kahana enters today's start with a 2-1 record and 3.03 ERA in 32.2 innings pitched, but he is coming off his first loss as a Kansas pitcher. Kahana allowed the go-ahead run in Oklahoma State's 7-6 victory against Kansas Friday. Price said that the bullpen will get plenty of work the next two days, but he needs his starters to step up early for the layawhacks.
"It all starts with the starting pitcher on Tuesday," Price said. "We also have to break the game up. We will send out five or six pitchers both games because obviously Kahana will start Tuesday night, but we'll need him in relief on Friday."
The Jayhawk offense was even worse this past weekend, as the pitching staff struggled against Oklahoma State. Kansas scored just three runs a game during the series, and six of Kansas' nine runs came in Friday's loss.
Senior catcher James Stanfield acknowledged that the team is in the midst of an offensive slump, but the team's mindset remains positive.
"Baseball is a game where you can't go too high, and you can't get too low," Stanfield said. "We're ready to get back on the field and get something going offensively."
Stanfield's .315 batting average is best among Kansas' everyday starters, but the layhawks rank toward the bottom of the Big 12 in nearly every major offensive category. With Kansas playing five tough games this week, the layhawks will need to break out of their offensive slump to have success.

"It'll be an interesting week, starting with rivalry week," Price said. "Our guys will be excited to play Wichita State and then face the challenge of a top-five team coming here in Texas A&M."

Jayhawk running back suspended after DUI
Charlie Weis has suspended James Sims for the first three games of the 2012 season for a violation of team rules. Early Sunday morning, Sims was arrested for operating under the influence.
"Every player on our team knows and understands our rules and regulations." Weis said in a release from Kansas. "They also know the consequences for violations."
Sims was listed as the first string running back for Kansas in Weis' first spring depth chart. He led the Jayhawks in rushing in both 2011 and 2010, with 1,469 yards and 18 touchdowns in both seasons.
Mike Vernon
FROM JOURNEY PAGE 8
15 points and 13 rebounds (then a career high). The Jayhawks built an early lead against archrivals Missouri and held on for a 70-66 win in Columbia.
MAUI MANHANDLING (NOV. 21-23. 2011)
(DEC.6,2011)
Robinson answered skepics about his ability to lead the 2011-12 Jayhawks with a masterful three-game performance at the Maui Invitational. Kansas narrowly lost to Duke in the final, but Robinson brought home tournament MVP honors, averaging 17 points and 14 rebounds in Hawaii.
STROLL ON THE BEACH
Against a dangerous Long Beach State team that had just won at Pittsburgh, Robinson scored 20 first half points and finished with 26 (10-of-14 from the field), 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. He followed up with two consecutive 21-point outings—one against No. 2 Ohio State — and entered the National Player of the Year conversation by Christmas.
30-20 (DEC. 31, 2011)
On New Years' Eve, Robinson became the first Kansas player since 1961 to score 30 points and snare 20 rebounds in a game. His 30 points and 21 boards in Kansas' 84-58 win over North Dakota were career highs, and would not
be topped the rest of the season.
BAYLOR BEATDOWN (JAN. 16, 2012)
Robinson's explosive performance against No. 2 Baylor in mid-January cemented his status as frontrunner for conference player of the year. Kansas' 92-74 Big Monday victory over the Bears was highlighted by what was possibly the play of the season: Tyshawn Taylor dashed down the right side of the court and lobbed the ball toward the rim. Robinson finished emphatically with a tomahawk alley-oop slam, sending Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy.
ROBINSON'S REJECTION (FEB. 25, 2012)
Robinson made the greatest play in what was arguably Allen Fieldhouse's greatest game. In the final Border War matchup for the foreseeable future, Kansas had erased a 19-point deficit to the Missouri, 75-75. With under 5 seconds remaining, Missouri point guard Phil Pressey drove to the rim and threw up a shot. Robinson rose and mercilessly swatted the ball away from the basket. Volume levels at Allen Fieldhouse reached a record-setting 127 decibels, and the Jayhawks proceeded to win, 87-86 in overtime.
BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE YEAR (MARCH 4)
In the span of one year, Robinson went from averaging 7 points and 14 minutes per game to Big 12 Conference Player of the Year.
During league play, he averaged 18.2 points and 11.7 rebounds and earned Big 12 player of the week honors three times. He and Kentucky forward Anthony Davis were in a two-horse race for national player of the year.
THE FIGHT TO THE FINAL (MARCH 16 - APRIL 2, 2012)
The Jayhawks fell just short of a fourth national title, losing 67-59 to Kentucky. But the run Kansas made to get there was truly special. Robinson, of course, was integral throughout the tournament. Although he labored in the final, he still finished with 18 points and 17 boards.

KANSAS
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Junior forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tayshawn Taylor receive the Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" Award during Monday evening's award banquet for the men's basketball team at the Holidome.
Last gathering for 2011-2012 team
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Bill Self stood in front of the audience to honor the 2011-2012 basketball team. While the Kansas basketball awards ceremony was a celebration, coach Self led a moment at the Holiday Inn Holidome in Lawrence Monday night.
"This may be the last time we're all together." Self acknowledged.
Self said that Manning's 1988 team has never fully been together since its championship season ended. He said the championship winning 2008 team has never had been in the same room again, either. And for the 2011-2012 Jayhawks, it's likely that all of the players, managers, coaches and staff members will never be in the same room at the same time again.
But for the most part, Monday night was a review of the Jayhawks championship run that will leave the team forever recognized with a banner in Allen Fieldhouse.
And a player who will soon gain specific recognition in Allen Fieldhouse, Thomas Robinson, got his
opportunity to speak and thank the fans in attendance for the support they showed him during his three years at Kansas.
"Go be a top three pick," Self said to Robinson. "Go make a lot of money."
"Ive been a part of some great teams, but this team was special," Taylor said. "It was because of the uuws involved. I love y'all."
Robinson had declared his intentions to enter the NBA Draft earlier in the day. Self then said Robinson was the fourth senior on the team, and let him speak along with other seniors — Tyshawn Taylor, Connor Teahan and Jordan Jueneman.
The only award handed out Monday night — Self joked that former coach Roy Williams gave everybody an award — was the Danny Manning award, for the player who best represented Kansas on and off the court.
"This one was a no brainer," Self said.
There would be co-award winners in 2012. Both Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson were awarded a gold cup to symbolize their years of hard work at Kansas.
Self said Elijah Johnson is one of the two best guards he's recruited at Kansas, along with Sherron Collins. But the coach held his biggest praise for the team's tallest player, Jeff Withey.
Self said by the time Withey is done at Kansas, he could be considered one of the best big men in the last half century at Kansas. Withey, who set a record for most blocks in a season by a lajhawks, could only smile at the praise.
And while most of the talk centered on this past season for Kansas, Self and the Jayhawks couldn't help but look ahead to next year.
"He said I was going to do blocks," Withey said. "I hope to do what he says again."
While this year's Kansas team came into the season with low ex-petations, Self already made sure that won't be the case next year.
"Don't think for a second we're not going to be good." Self said. "If these guys can learn from this year's team, anything can happen. Somebody's got to do it, it might as well be us."

THE MORNING BREW Ranking the NBA Draft's top prospects
While Kansas students and alumni are wishing Thomas Robinson well, NBA executives have drool hanging from their mouths.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Robinson is considered one of the NBA's top prospects, but he is not considered the best. Here are my top five players for this year's NBA Draft who will have fan bases clamoring for their services next season:
1. ANTHONY DAVIS, KENTUCKY
Everyone in Lawrence knows why Davis is the top selection. Davis absolutely controlled the championship game against the Jayhawks, and he only scored 14 points. Along with his seven blocks, Kansas players were often tentative to drive into the paint, knowing Davis was guarding the rim.
Davis has length, size and speed. He's smooth with the ball and he has a soft jump shot that tantalizes his opponents. The knock on Davis is that he's a bit young and his arms don't have the muscles that NBA players often carry. But that will come with time, and NBA
Scouts believe that.
2. MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST,
KENTUCKY
Yes, two Wildcats top the list.
Kidd-Gilchristis a6-foot-7,232-pound forward who can do a bit of everything. The freshman has a load of athleticism that makes him nearly impossible to stop in transition or driving to the basket.
Two of his biggest games this season came in the NCAA tournament. He scored 24 points against Indiana and 19 against Baylor to help send Kentucky to the Final Four.
3. THOMAS ROBINSON, KANSAS
Robinson falls just behind Davis and Gilchrist in the potential department, as Kansas' big man won't seem quite as large in the NBA.
Robinson could push his opponents around in college, but the story will be different in Robinson's next game. To his credit, Robinson does carry a stunningly fast first step, that he often used to blow by his opponents.
If Robinson can work on finishing around the rim; look for a long and successful NBA career for the All-American from Kansas.
4. ANDRE DRUMMOND, CONNECTICUT
Drummond is a puzzling case here. His potential is as high as any player on this list, but his numbers didn't always back it up last season.
It often takes more time for big men to develop than it does for guards, and the 6-foot-10, 251-pound Drummond is no exception. He's mobile and has an
KU
NBA-ready body, but with teams looking for immediate help. Robinson is a better choice.
5. HARRISON BARNES,
NORTH CAROLINA
A lot of people may put a guy like Bradley Beal from Florida here, but Barnes has shown flashes of greatness throughout his two years at North Carolina that land him in the top five.
His stock will be hurt by an under whelming tournament performance, but Barnes' smooth game passes the eye test, as he could become the next great player in the NBA form North Carolina.
When Barnes becomes a full-time basketball player, which he soon will be, look for his consistency to improve, as he has the potential to be a stud at the next level.

COMMENTARY
Robinson a worthy draft pick
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
G given college basketball's current age of the "One-and-Done" player, the collegiate level is nothing more than a speed bump on an elite recruit's road to the NBA.
It often doesn't matter how well the player performs in college; the bright lights of the NBA are hard to resist, and they jump to the league too soon.
Several times, a college basketball player takes the podium, declares his entrance to the NBA draft and everyone in the room sees train wreck from a mile away - except the one making the announcement.
Thomas Robinson's Monday morning declaration to the NBA draft was not, and will not, be a regretful decision.
For all the mind-boggling NBA announcements each year, few are as well deserved as Robinson's official farewell to Kansas.
Robinson arrived at Kansas in 2009 as an athletic forward from Brewster Academy in New Hampshire. He was raw, but Robinson's motor and energy was fun to watch, even in his 7.2 minutes per game as a freshman. He was capable of achieving greatness, but I don't think anybody could have imagined his next two years at Kansas.
Robinson entered his sophomore year as the first post off the bench following the Morris twins. Despite playing less than 15 minutes a game, his staggering physique and potential caught the attention of NBA scouts. All was good in the life of Robinson: Kansas was undefeated, and Robinson took his game to a new level. However, starting in late December of 2010, Robinson faced more tragedy in a month than most will know in a lifetime.
I still remember the feeling on Jan. 22, 2011, when former director of basketball operations Barry Hinson informed the students Thomas' mother, Lisa, had passed away the night before. All the excitement surrounding the matchup with No. 11 Texas turned into sadness. I still remember when Hinson said Thomas would still play; the chills I got when Robinson checked into the game were unbelievable.
Baseball team struggles with consistency
Robinson had just lost both his grandparents and mother in the span of five weeks, but he still played against Texas. Even through the sorrow and the loss, basketball became more than just a game for Robinson - it was his escape.
Robinson turned the tragedy into motivation and his All-American junior campaign carried Kansas to the NCAA National Championship Game last week. Robinson's decision to stay his junior season at Kansas even improved his draft stock.
ESPN.com projects Robinson as a top-five pick, and he could go as early as the second-overall pick.
So, when Robinson stood up on that podium, the Jayhawk Nation cheered proudly.
Congratulations, Thomas. You deserve it.

DRAFTING DREAMS
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Junior forward Thomas Robinson answers questions about his decision to declare for the NBA Draft at Monday's press conference in Allen Fieldhouse. Robinson will forgo his senior season at the University.
NSAS
HAWKS
JAYHAWK HEADS TO NBA
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
In five years, Thomas Robinson's jersey will hang at the top of Allen Fieldhouse due to his first team All-American status. Until then, Robinson's future no longer rests with Kansas basketball.
In a press conference at Allen Fieldhouse, with his younger sister Jayla to his right and coach Bill Self to his left, Robinson said he will bypass his senior season at the University and declare for the NBA Draft.
"I've been up all night trying to come up with a thank you note or something to show my appreciation, but I couldn't get anything."
Robinson said. "I think it's beyond words what this program meant to me."
The announcement was no surprise to anyone, as coach Self said he's known this decision was coming from Robinson since last summer.
To say it's been a highly publicized three years at Kansas for Robinson would be an understatement.
On January 21, 2011, Robinson received a phone call from Jayla, who told him that his mother, Lisa Robinson, died of a heart attack. Both Thomas and Jayla had just lost their grandmother and grandfather the previous month.
Robinson still played the following day against Texas at Allen
Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks suffered a 74-63 loss that ended their 69-game home winning streak.
But the events that followed Robinson's tragedy are what made him a legend at Kansas. After playing just 14.6 minutes per game in the 2010-2011 season, Robinson transformed into a Player of the Year finalist, averaging 31.7 minutes per game while scoring 17.7 points and rebounding 11.7 missed shots per game.
"He's a guy that's probably as loved as anybody that's played here in a long, long time." Self said.
DraftExpress.com currently has Robinson as the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, and nbadraft.net has Robinson slated second. Even with the high projections, Robinson gave a pitch to NBA teams who may be interested in him.
Current Tulsa coach and former Kansas assistant Danny Manning even stood in the back of the room as Robinson made his announcement.
"I'm going to be a workhorse," Robinson said. "I'm going to do what everybody else is not going to want to do."
And while his playing days at Kansas may be over, Robinson said he does plan to pursue a college degree.
Manning worked with him for the past three years, helping Robinson become a likely top five draft pick.

"That's something that my moth-
For now, Robinson will live in the gym. The player who developed so much in his time at Kansas will have to continue developing and working hard to succeed at the next level.
While Robinson's mind is currently zeroed in on basketball, he will probably never forget his three years in Lawrence. And what he said he'll miss most is being on campus.
"Wanting to walk around campus," Robinson said. "Walking around with that feeling, it almost feels like everybody loves you."

Robinson's journey as a Jayhawk
SAM KOVZAN
skovzan@kansan.com
Thomas Robinson cemented his status as a Kansas basketball legend during the 2011-2012 season. The junior forward averaged 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, led the nation in double-doubles and was a unanimous first-team All-American. His physical prowess and explosiveness around the rim made him the quintessential human highlight reel. Robinson led Kansas during its unforgettable run to the national championship game. Here are some of T-Rob's most memorable moments as a Kansas Jayhawk.
HIS FIRST DOUBLE-DOUBLE (DEC.2,
2009)
In the seventh game of his Kansas career, Robinson scored 15 points and brought down 10 rebounds (both freshman season-highs) in 18 minutes. He received double-digit playing time just four times the rest of the year.
RISING OVER ARIZONA (NOV.27, 2010)
Robinson was instrumental in the Jay.
SOPHOMORE HIGH (DEC. 29, 2010)
hawks' Las Vegas Invitational championship victory over Arizona in late 2010. He scored 14 points off 5-of-7 shooting and had three dunks. His vicious, one-handed alley-oop flush late in the game, assisted by Tyshawn Taylor, sealed the 87-79 win.
In an 82-57 victory over Texas-Arlington, Robinson set or tied career highs in points (20), rebounds (10) and minutes (24). His 8-of-10 shooting performance was highlighted by four slam dunks, and the Jayhawks improved to 12-0.
PLAYING WITH A HEAVY HEART (JAN.22, 2011)
Just 24 hours after learning his mother had passed away, Robinson found the courage to play against No. 11 Texas. Before tipoff, there was a moment of silence in memory of Lisa Robinson. Running on pure adrenaline, Kansas jumped out to an 18-3 lead, but hit an emotional wall and lost 74-63. The defeat snapped the Jayhawks' 69-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse.
RETURNING WITH A BANG (JAN. 29, 2011)
LISA ROBINSON'S FUNERAL (JAN.27,2011)
The entire basketball team and staff attended Robinson's mother's funeral in Washington, D.C. A somber photograph of Robinson embracing his 9-year-old sister Jayla became one of the defining images of the season.
Just two days after his mother's funeral, Robinson delivered his best game of the season. In a 90-66 dismantling of Kansas State, he scored 17 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. When Robinson was subbed out at the end of the game, 16,300 fans rose to their feet and erupted.
SLAYING THE TIGER (MAR. 5, 2011)
Kansas clinched its seventh straight Big 12 championship on the final day of the 2011 regular season. Robinson needed just 17 minutes of action to accumulate
"This wasn't an easy decision," Roberts said. "Billy Donovan has been really, really good to me. I would consider him one of the top five coaches in America and I learned a tremendous amount being here with Billy and his staff. Leaving here; I feel I'm a better coach and a better person to have worked at Florida."

The position on the Kansas staff was open after Danny Manning accepted the head coaching job at Tulsa last month.
Self hires former assistant coach Norm Roberts
Bill Self announced the hiring of Florida's assistant and former St. Johns' head coach Norm Roberts to his staff Monday. Roberts worked under Self at four schools in nine seasons and spent one season at Kansas as an assistant coach in 2003-2004.
Roberts said he got the OK from Niko before making the decision. He also said his wife Pascale is close with Self's wife, Cindy.
"As good as he was when he left, now he's got six years of head coaching experience under his belt in addition to all the recruiting experience," Self said in a statement Monday. "I think he's going to be a huge asset to our program."

Large spending gap between student coalition campaigns
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
With election season in full swing on campus, expense reports have found that there are different costs associated with each coalition's campaigning method. KUnited has enlisted the help of the Lawrence community, spending $6,176.85 on its campaign; Senatus Populusque Ramenus, which has spent $15, opted to campaign primarily on campus.
Student Senate coalitions Senatus Populusque Ramenus, or SPQR, and KUnited released their expense reports Monday night to the elections commission, whose responsibility is to ensure fair elections and campaigns. It requires candidates to turn in pre-expense and final-expense reports to monitor how the candidates are spending money.
"We weren't looking to fundraise or go out to businesses to try and gain their support and money," said Brian Sultana, SPQR's campaign manager. "We aren't interested in buying votes or elections. We want to expose the idea of buying votes and elections and stay away from it as much as possible."
To attract supporters, SPQR purchased chalk and organized performances on Wescoe Beach, such as poetry readings and rap performances. Its intent is to draw people in rather than pulling them aside to get their votes.
Part of KUnited's advertising campaign included a competition to attract an apartment complex sponsorship, which The Grove won. The winner was chosen based on the facilities and services it had to offer students. After winning the contest, The Grove bought $2,500 worth of KUNited shirts, which was the coalition's largest donation, boxed them up and distributed them to students.
"Some students look at that dollar amount and think that we are buying votes or buying our positions;" said KUnited vice presidential candidate Brendon Woodard. "We watch our expenses and make sure

they are as low as possible. You cannot buv votes."
KUinited also partnered with Lawrence businesses to engage students in the election. One of the largest purchases was the buttons, which cost $779. Students can wear them and receive discounts at restaurants around town, including Bird Dog at the Oread, Jayhawk Cafe, Mirth Cafe and Fuzzy's Taco Shop.
"I wish there were more candidates involved in the process this year," said Keith Adams, chairman of the elections commission. "The more people involved in the election process, the more say the students have and the better the elections are."
KUnited, which has won 17 of the last 18 elections, started its campaign during the fall semester. Members visited Greek houses, campus organizations and scholarship halls to recruit members and receive feedback from students. But despite the recruitment, student involvement is lacking.
Election booths will be on Wescoe Beach Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will also be a booth at Mrs. E's from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday. A student ID is required to vote. To vote online, look for the Student Senate elections link on ku.edu. Results will be announced after 5 p.m. Thursday.

WINNING STUDENTS?
Athletic success unlikely to boost enrollment
LUKE RANKER
Iranker@kansan.com
Men's basketball coach Bill Self often says the University has the best fans in the country. Being a fan is almost a requirement for KU students, and a common campus rumor is that enrollment substantially increased after the 2008 National Championship.
But that may not be the case.
but that may not be the case. According to University officials, the basketball team's success during the NCAA tournament has little effect on enrollment for the next year. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost for student success, said students have to apply by November, so the tournament occurs too deep in the enrollment cycle to affect it.
Melvin said a championship could, however, boost enrollment in later years.
"It could convince those who were already admitted to go ahead and enroll," he said.
The enrollment data shows a short-term increase in enrollment following the 2008 Championship. But University officials say that may be a coincidence.
According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, about 400 more freshmen enrolled in Fall 2008 than the previous fall semester. However, the fall of 2009 saw about 500 fewer freshmen enroll.
Melvin said any increase in enrollment is most likely due to scholarship opportunities.
Vanessa Lamoreaux, associate director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, said enrollment does play a role in setting tuition. But she said that role isn't significant enough to cause the board to speculate about what enrollment will look like in the fall. She said the regents largely base tuition on what each of the six state universities suggest they need.
Jill Jess, spokeswoman for the University, said campus visit days generally fill up early, so the tournament causes little increase in tour traffic.
"It helps us get out in the national eye, which is good for the school." Jess said.
Melvin said that because the team is usually expected to do well, it draws little extra attention.
Melvin said that if any sport affected enrollment it would most likely be football, because the season overlaps with the enrollment cycle.
"A mid-major like Butler could argue they potentially see a big increase." Melvin said.

KUnited and SPQR prepare for elections

In preparation for Wednesday and Thursday's election, students gathered in the Student Senate chambers in Alderson Auditorium for a question and answer session between KUnited's presidential and vice-presidential candidates Hannah Bolton and Brandon Woodard, respectively, and the vice-presidential candidate for Senatus Populusque Ramenus, or SPQR. Claire Kerwin.
Brian Sultana, SPQR's campaign manager, and Claire Kerwin, SPQR's vice presidential candidate, explain why they are wearing togas during Tuesday afternoon's Student Senate Q&A session in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union.

SPQR's presidential candidate Gus Bova was absent from the meeting.
SPQR members entered the room wearing togas as a nod to the Romans and their coalition name. Elections Commission Chair Keith Adams presided over the event, making sure that questions were unbiased and that both coalitions were able to present their viewpoints.

"Really, my hope was to make sure the student body had the opportunity to hear what the candidates were discussing and raise awareness," Adams said. "It's very important to have free, fair elections and a student voice. We want to make sure that process is respected and foster an environment for
"I feel like I know them more," Sutton said. "I had lost my want to vote because of the chalking, but I plan to vote again after going to the meeting. I was glad that as representatives, they apologized. I wasn't expecting that. It shows that they have concern for it."
Students at the session asked questions about how the candidates would address the perceived gap between the administration and students, pique student interest in Senate and accomplish the coalitions' goals. Angela Sutton, a junior from Marysville, expressed concerns about rude words in chalking and the excessive amount of campaigning during election season.
Both coalitions discussed how to increase transparency and student involvement. KUnited candidates stressed that students are able to vote for pending proposals by attending commission meetings even if they aren't in the Senate. KUnited vice-presidential candidate Brandon Woodard proposed several different ways of reaching out to students.
"One of the main focuses of my job this year is reaching out to the student body and giving them more information about the student body," said Woodard. "We
have newsletters, press releases and we're looking to have more contact with students, whether that means us going to Wescoe Beach or students coming here."
SPQR advocated the same hands-on approach that it promoted when it decided to run for Senate.
"We want to just be up front," said SPQR Campaign Manager Brian Sultana. "Just be very clear about what you're doing. I don't think you need a whole ton of bureaucracy to do that."
KUUnited candidates said that they have an advantage because of
more experience with the Senate and more administrative ties. SPQR thinks that by bringing in "new blood," they could reach out to more students and change some of Senate's processes, but its main goal is not necessarily a victory; it's to provide provocative discussions.
"I don't expect to win," said SPQR vice-presidential candidate Claire Kerwin. "I think it would be really amusing if we did."

Santorum announces campaign suspension
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Bowing to the inevitable, Rick Santorun quit the presidential campaign Tuesday, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination.
Santorum, appearing with his wife and children in his home state of Pennsylvania, told supporters the race for him was over, but the fight to defeat President Barack Obama would go on.
He pointedly made no mention or endorsement of Romney, whom Santorum had derided as an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP. The former Pennsylvania senator stressed that he'd taken his campaign farther than anyone expected.
Santorum spoke with Romney before the announcement, a Republican source close to the campaign said.
"We will continue to go out and fight and defeat President Barack Obama," Santorum said.
Santorum, a feisty campaigned who took everyone by surprise with his win in Iowa's leadoff caucuses, ran on his conservative credentials and his experience in Congress — he was a House member for four years and senator for 12 — but was hobbled by a lack of money and organization.
as many delegates as Santorum and is on pace to reach the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination by early June. Still in the race, but not considered a factor: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

Suicide bombers hit government buildings in latest attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
790123
Afghan victims of a suicide attack are transported in the back of a police truck in Guzara, Herat province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan, on April 10. A blast blew up a four-wheel-drive vehicle during rush hour Tuesday outside a government office in Herat province, killing and wounding scores of people, authorities said.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Suicide bombers struck two government offices in southern and western Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing 16 people as militants step up attacks across the country with the arrival of spring temperatures, authorities said.
Insurgents have been targeting Afghan and NATO security forces as they fight to assert their power and undermine U.S. efforts to try to build up Afghan forces. Afghanistan's police and army are increasingly shouldering the job of providing security with the planned exit of most foreign combat troops by the end of 2014.
The deadliest bombing occurred in Herat when a sport utility vehicle packed with explosives blew up outside the gate of the Guzara district police office as people were waiting to go inside to see government officials about various business matters.

Satellite to launch as part of centennial birthday celebration
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korean space officials said Tuesday that the rocket built to carry a satellite into space was ready for liftoff this week.
North Korea's national flag and the red hammer-and-sickle flag of the Workers' Party fluttered across chilly Pyongyang on Tuesday as delegates toured historic sites, including the birthplace of late President Kim II Sung. North Korea celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth Sunday, a major milestone in the country he founded.
New posters in the capital welcomed the delegates from provincial
towns across the country. Workers scrambled to spruce up the city were painting railings a military green and crouching along roads to plant flowers.
Space officials, meanwhile, told foreign journalists at a news conference that the launch of the three-stage rocket is on target to take place between Thursday and Monday as part of the centennial birthday commemorations for Kim Il Sung.
"All the assembly and preparations of the satellite launch are done," including fueling of the rocket, Ryu Kum Chol, deputy director of the Space Development Department
of the Korean Committee for Space Technology, said at the briefing at the Yanggakdo Hotel.
The Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite, equipped with a camera designed to capture images of North Korea's terrain and send back data about weather conditions, was being mounted on the rocket Tuesday.
The United States, Britain, Japan and others have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, saying it would be considered a violation of U.N. resolutions prohibiting the country from nuclear and ballistic missile activity.

Ceremonies honor victims of crash amid conspiracy theory
WARSAW, Poland — Polish politicians held dueling observances Tuesday for President Lech Kacznski and 95 others killed two years ago in a plane crash in Russia, as conspiracy theories about the crash still smoldered.
The April 10, 2010 crash was Poland's worst disaster in decades and claimed the lives of the first lady and dozens of top Polish civilian and military leaders.
Wreaths and lights were placed at sites in Warsaw and in Smolensk, Russia, where the plane crashed.
President Bronisław Koromowski laid flowers at a plaque to the victims that was placed on the Presidential Palace.
Minutes later, Kaczynski's twin brother and opposition party leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, laid a wreath at a different site in front of the palace. Dozens of his followers added lights, flowers and a wooden cross and the names of the victims were read out.
Kacynski then went to the Military Powazki Cemetery, where he laid a wreath at a granite monument honoring those killed. Prime Minister Donald Tusk also laid flowers there.
In Smolensk, Polish Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski, Russian Parliament Speaker Sergei Naryshkin and families of the victims laid wreaths at the site of the crash, which Russia's Foreign Ministry called a "deeply sad page in Polish-Russian relations."

Kaczynski, the head of the nationalist Law and Justice party, has been fueling theories that the crash was an assassination, feelings backed by a sense that the Russians were not fully transparent or cooperative in investigating the crash. Much of the evidence, including the plane's wreckage, is still in Russia.

Polish opposition leader Jarosław Kaczynski, second right, lays a wreath at the memorial dedicated to the 96 victims of the presidential plane crash, among them his twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, as he commemorates the second anniversary of the accident on April 10. Exactly two years ago, a plane with Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and officials crashed in Russia, killing all on board.

Fox announces renewal of three popular shows
TELEVISION
LOS ANGELES — Fox announced Monday that it is renewing "Glee," "Raising Hope" and "New Girl."
That means "New Girl" is back for a second season, "Raising Hope" will return for a third and "Glee" makes a go at a fourth.
The "Glee" renewal is hardly surprising. One of the network's most prized possessions, the musical dramedy has averaged 8.9 total viewers and a 3.8 rating in the ages 18 to 49 demographic. And the buzz surrounding the show extends behind the scenes as well, especially this season as some of McKinley High's chirpers (Chris Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith) gear up for graduation. New episodes of "Glee" will begin Tuesday, of the series' brief hiatus, and
And it's just as unsurprising that Fox is bringing back freshman comedy "New Girl" *Staring Zooey Deschanel*, the Tuesday series is averaging just over 8 million viewers and a 4.2 rating in the 18-49 demo. Meanwhile, fellow Tuesday comedy "Raising Hope" is standing steady with an average of 5.6 million viewers per week this season and a 2.6 rating in the young-adult demo.
it will likely lay the groundwork for what viewers can expect in the fourth season.
The renewals come a week after the network announced it would be bringing back "Bones" for an eighth season. But still no announcements on the status of "Fringe," "Alcatrat" and "The Finder."

Jurors being seated for Hudson family murder trial

Balfour
nifer Hudson's family.
William Balfour is accused of killing Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. The 30-year-old Balfour faces a maximum life sentence if convicted.
Cook County Circuit Judge Charles Burns and attorneys will resume work Tuesday morning seating a panel after 14 people were selected on Monday.
Hudson's name came up frequently during questioning, though most of the would-be jurors insisted that despite what they knew about her or heard in the media about the case, they could consider only the evidence presented at the trial.

Fill time at Coachella: Explore Mojave Desert
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES_As most know by now, the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is occurring over two long weekends this year instead of one, with the same lineup repeating twice. That means that when it kicks off Friday night, 120-odd bands ranging from superstars such as Radiohead and Swedish House Mafia to first-timers such as the Head and the Heart and Jeff Mangum will have arrived in the desert from around the world, and many will remain in the area for some or all of that 10-day period.
That's a lot of spare time and you know what they say about idle hands. Not only is there a lot of opportunity to get into typical rock 'n roll trouble, but also a lot of freedom to roam the mystical desert looking for thrills or generating lyrics for liptic love songs about the heart being like a cactus or desert tortoise. Below are a few tips for making the most of time spent in and around the Moiage.
ROCK 'N' ROLL PILGRIMAGE
Ionic country rock singer and guitarist Gram Parsons found refuge in Joshua Tree in the early 1970s after traveling the world as part of the Flying Burrrito Brothers and getting into hassles with the
INSPIRATION
A common misconception is that the album "Joshua Tree" is named after the area where the Irish group U2 and photographer Anton Corbijn shot the cover. In reality, Bono & Co. found the perfect lone tree at Zabriskie Point, 200 miles north in Death Valley National Park, and did a photo shoot there. Despite this inconvenient truth, the image, the album and the town called "Joshua Tree" remain intertwined. To those who still feel like making a trek to find the actual Joshua tree on the album's cover, don't bother. It fell a decade ago.
For those curious to know how extravagantly musicians used to live in the pre-file-sharing days, when superstars earned as much
man while running with buddy Keith Richards. The former Byrd and Emmylou Harris collaborator overdosed in 1973 at the Joshua Tree Inn & Motel on 29 Palms Highway, and the room where he died is available for overnights. Outside the inn is a memorial to Parsons, which was relocated from the desolate spot in the Mojave where his body underwent an amateur cremation ritual after two friends absconded with it from LAX and drove it to the desert.
as CEOs and didn't have to shill for a bunch of unwashed jerks in the hot desert sun, there's Frank Sinatra's palatal compound on Alejo Road in Palm Springs, which can be rented for private parties or ogled at from the passenger window of your buddy's car. Better yet, witness the home on Ladera Circle where, at the peak of his fame, Elvis Presley consumed his marriage to Priscilla. Alas, Liberace's residence is privately owned, so all the sequins and candelabra are gone. But you can tread on the grounds of Palm Springs City Hall, where the late musician and U.S. congressman Sonny Bono caught the political bug.
HALLOWED GROUND
Just off 29 Palms Highway in Joshua Tree is Rancho de la Luna, the recording studio where the sounds of Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age were forged, and where artists including PJ Harvey, Dave Grohl and the Arctic Monkeys have recorded. The studio, which is in fact a ranch house, helped birth a strumming, start-and-stop aggro sound that still reverberates today.

Film financier sues owners of Miramax
LOS ANGELES — Troubled film financier David Bergstein has sued the owners of Miramax, alleging that they denied him money and an equity stake owed for his role in the acquisition of the film label from Walt Disney Co. in 2010.
The suit, filed Monday in L.A. Superior Court by the law firm Weingarten Brown, contends that Bergstein who has been involved in dozens of lawsuits, many related to his activities in the film business played a crucial role in the deal to acquire Miramax. It asserts that Santa Monica, Calif., private equity firm Colony Capital, one of Miramax's new owners, and its principal Richard Nanula conspired to deny Bergstein a $6.1 million fee and 3.3 percent stake they agreed to provide him as part of the purchase.
"Defendants have lined their own pockets to the tune of tens of
It was not clear what role Bergstein played in the acquisition, except that he was working with Tutor before Colony joined the acquisition team in July 2010. In the suit, Bergstein says he initiated talks with Disney, which had already put Miramax up for sale, and negotiated the structure of the deal.
millions of dollars while reneging on the compensation promised to the individual who made the highly lucrative deal happen for them," the lawsuit alleges.
Colony and Nanula are named as defendants, as is Filmyard Holdings, the holding company that acquired Miramax in December 2010 for $660 million.
He alleges that for his work he was promised two separate $6.1-million fees, one at closing and another when certain conditions were met, plus a 3.3 percent equity stake with Filmyard.
Colony declined to provide Bergstein with any documentation as part of his stake or a share of profits when the company was recapitalized last fall, the complaint alleges. In addition, Bergstein says he was not paid his second $6.1-million fee when conditions were met.
Bergstein contends that he was cut out because he has been the subject of negative news coverage related to his legal troubles from a string of troubled companies and business deals in which he has involved.
"Unable to alienate their lender and principal investor on the one hand and unable to make the deal work without Bergstein's efforts

Weighing your options for this summer
EDITORIAL
With the end of the school year fast approaching, most students have likely figured out plans for living/working/schooling throughout the summer. However, for some, the decision is still up in the air. You may be searching for some advice on the subject, but let me tell you, there is no one formula that works for every student.
mainly on the pros and cons of choices a and b.
Each individual student must make these decisions for himself or herself, based on his or her situation. For most, the decision comes down to a) staying in Lawrence, b) going home, or c) doing some sort of study abroad program. Since the study abroad deadlines have passed, I'll focus
STAYING IN LAWRENCE
Pros: For those students from a small town, there are many more opportunities for employment in a town like Lawrence, or even in the surrounding areas of Topeka or Kansas City. There are plenty of places to live in Lawrence for the summer, as many students plan on trying to sublet their apartments. Along with work and housing opportunities; there is a sense of independence here that you lose by going home.
Cons: There is the obvious con of having to pay expenses such as rent, utilities and food
for yourself during your stay in Lawrence. Along with that comes the realization that your childhood is officially over, as you will no longer be spending any extended period of time at home with your family. That can be a tough concept to grasp at first.
GOING HOME
Pros: You get to be in a familiar setting,with your loving family. Another great benefit of being at home is living for free and not having to worry about the costs associated with living on your own. Students living at home also have the opportunity to reunite with friends from high school who went off to
school somewhere else and are also home for the summer.
girlfriend/boyfriend, or even your parents. You have to take a long, hard look at the situation you are in, apply the pros and cons directly to your life, weigh your options and make the best decision for yourself.
Cons: There is always a fine line between being a child and being an adult. After you have been away at college for a full school year, coming home for the summer can be tough on you and your parents. There's the sense of independence you want to maintain, and then there are your parents, who may still want to implement the same rules you lived by during high school. The power struggle can put a strain on your relationship and may make living at home uncomfortable.
When it comes down to it, nobody can make the decision for you. Not your friends, your
Summer is a beautiful thing and can be some of the best times of your life, regardless of what situation you put yourself in. Don't put this off: Summer is right around the corner. So you all best put your decision-making hats on and get started!

POLITICS
Republicans are portrayed badly
I'm usually not surprised when Democrats and their allies in the media play the race card, but they have reached a new low with the Travyon Martin hysteria.
In February, George Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black 17-year-old named Trayvon Martin in Florida. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who was licensed to carry a firearm, claims Martin attacked him and that the shooting was in self-defense. All we really know is that Zimmerman observed Martin walking through his neighborhood and called police to report suspicious behavior. After the call, there was some type of altercation between the two and Trayvon Martin lost his life.
By Christian Corrigan
Zimmerman has not yet been charged because under Florida law, Zimmerman could legally use deadly force to defend himself if he reasonably believed it was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm. In order to charge Zimmerman with murder, the authorities must first get probable cause that Zimmerman acted unlawfully, but since the eyewitness accounts have been inconclusive thus far, it has been difficult to ascertain exactly what transpired.
NBC's "Today Show" edited the tape of Zimmerman's 911 call to make him sound like a racist. Other media outlets selectively used photos portraying Travon Martin as a clean-cut young boy while making Zimmerman look like an unshaven, disgruntled criminal wearing an orange jumpsuit.
It is entirely possible that this incident was a misunderstanding between two well-intentioned parties that escalated into a tragic encounter. It is also entirely possible that Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman. But the only storyline the media and Democrats want you to consider is that Zimmerman is a racist who preyed upon a young black male because he was wearing a hoodie while walking in a predominately white neighborhood.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California) said, "I, personally, really truly believe this is a hate crime." Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Florida) said that Martin was "hunted down like a rabid dog." Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Illinois) wore a hoodie onto the floor of the United States House of Representatives in protest. MSNBC analyst and Democratic strategist Karen Finney essentially blamed the Republican presidential candidates and Rush Limbaugh for the shooting.
Spike Lee tweeted what he thought was George Zimmerman's home address but turned out to be the address of an unrelated elderly couple. And of course it wouldn't be a certified witch hunt without Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson pandering for attention. Both have led rallies and demanded
Zimmerman's arrest. After all this, it's no surprise that the New Black Panther Party put out a $10,000 bounty on Zimmermann.
Sharpton, Jackson, the media, et al led a similar persecution during the 2006 Duke lacrosse rape scandal. The storyline of three, young, privileged white boys raping a poor, black, female stripper made for a useful narrative until it was revealed that the alleged victim's story was fabricated. The prosecutor in the case, a Democrat, was eventually disbarred and served jail time for fraud, lying to a judge and lying about withholding exculpatory evidence in the case. Back in 1987, Sharpton led a national crusade for a young, black woman named Towana Brawley who claimed she was raped by six white men. It also turned out to be a hoax.
Sharpton and Jackson continually exploit these situations because it gets them on TV and puts money in their pockets. The rest of the left loves these cases because it provides another opportunity to paint Republicans as racists. Never mind that George Zimmerman is actually Hispanic and a registered Democrat. Never mind that Zimmerman apparently spends his weekends as a volunteer tutoring black children.
Prominent conservative leaders such as Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Marco Rubio and Alberto Gonzales are making it increasingly difficult to label Republicans as the party of white racists. The vitriolic attacks on these figures over the years show just how dangerous they are to the left's monopoly on race. Now, Trayvon Martin is the new battle cry.
I'm not saying that George Zimmerman is innocent, because I don't know and neither does Jesse Jackson. I'm not saying that America does not have some lingering racial issues to overcome or that Republicans have never exploited race. But the left is dangerously manipulating this story to advance its agenda. Perhaps this is a tactic to galvanize minority groups to turn out for President Obama in November. Perhaps some of these leaders truly believe America is still a deeply racist society in 2012. Either way, as the great Thomas Sowell put it, "playing with racial polarization is playing with fire."

Product placement saving savvy series 'Community'
With today's technology—such as DVRs—people
nology—such as DVRs—people don't have to see television advertisements as much as they had to in the past. TV ads are only fully effective if the viewer is watching the program in the present.DVRs allow the viewer to skip the ad by fast-forwarding through undesired information. While at the same time, the Internet either allows viewers to watch television through pay sites that have minimal ads, or a viewer can illegally download the program and skip the whole ad process altogether.
This is a problem. And it's an even bigger problem for network channels that only make money from the two-minute spaces in between a program's action.
This idea seems to be a good alternative to the two-minute commercial cycle that is slowly meeting its demise one DVR recording at a time. So far, this idea has not been widely used. Possibly because another idea has taken over: product placement.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
There have been a few solutions proposed, one being a single ad for a whole program with less advertising to allow the product to be more memorable. It would be a lot like PBS, where an ad is shown right before the program and is the only ad that will be seen throughout the program. An announcer will come on with a logo taking over the whole screen and say, "This program is brought to you by the [insert company name]. And don't forget [insert catchy slogan]!"
In a recent episode of NBC's "Community," the community college the students of the show attend decided to put a sandwich shop inside the cafeteria. It just so happens to be the largest sandwich shop in the whole world and boasts to have more stores than McDonald's.
Yes, the school has a Subway in its cafeteria. This is not new for the show. Last season, the show used a spaceship that was made for a Kentucky Fried Chicken themed adventure.
Well. "Community" did what it had to do to keep people happy—the episode with Subway turned out to be an homage to George Orwell's "1984." The show made sure that viewers felt like they were not being taken advantage of by constantly making fun of the product placement that was being used in its show.
In the episode, Subway had taken an average citizen and turned him into a walking, talking representation of
Subway. In pure "1984" fashion he turns on his big brother Subway and has an intimate relationship with one of the shows star's, Britta Perry. It's a lot more funny than "1984," though.
Ever since NBC decided to take "Community" off the air for three months because of poor ratings, many fans feared that the show was on the verge of being canceled. When it finally came back, it had a huge product placement in the plot of one of its episodes. Was this NBC's way of trying to keep the show on television?
Dan Harmon, the creator of "Community," once tweeted how he was aware that most of the fans of the show watch the episodes through the Internet This is why the show's ratings are very low and why NBC is not making much money off of it.
Many may not be happy with product placement, and a lot of them may be "Community" fans watching TV on the Internet. There is probably someone on the Internet complaining that big corporations are ruining the world. But the truth is, Subway is saving a show by handing a big paycheck to NBC and allowing Dan Harmon to make fun of it in the name of George Orwell.
In the end, not all advertising is bad.

Kansas leaves too many runners on base, goes scoreless during seven extra innings against Wichita State Shockers

I MAX LUSH

The Jayhawks' offense keeps writing the same story this season. Too many Kansas players are left on base for the team to be successful.
It was the same tale Tuesday night at Hoglund Ballpark, when Kansas left a season-high 16 batters on base in a 16-inning 6-4 defeat to the Wichita State Shockers. Kansas fell to 12-20 on the season and have lost five straight games.
Junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz said it's important that the team stays focused on its game plan during clutch at-bats. Too often hitters try to do too much instead of doing the little things, he said. Kansas has stranded 259 batters in 32 games this season — about eight runners a game.
"it's tough," Kuntz said. "You don't know why it happens, you just don't know. I honestly think we'll turn it around. I think we'll start driving guys in, and we'll start clicking."
Sophomore outfielder Tucker Tharp led the Kansas offense; he went 4-for-8 with a double, a run and an RBI on the night. But, Tharp also left two runners on base.
"They pitched really well," Tharp said. "We just couldn't come up with a clutch hit late in the game, and it just didn't go our way today."
The Jayhawks ripped off seven hits in the first five innings against the Shockers' starting pitcher Kris Gardner (3-1, 3.52). Gardner left the game in the fifth inning, with no outs, after the Tharp tied the game on Kuntz's single. After that, Kansas' offense sputtered.
Coach Ritch Price said Gardner
does not throw as hard as pitchers do in the Big 12. Gardner prefers his changeup to his fastball. Price said he liked how his hitters adjusted to Gardner.
The rest of Wichita State's pitchers preferred throwing fastballs and hard sliders. Kansas had to readjust midgame. Despite only three hits in the game's last 10 innings, Price said he thought the hitters did a good job with their mid-game adjustments.
"We hit some balls hard back to the box that their pitcher speared," Price said. "I thought we did a nice job, not chasing the ball out of the zone for the most part and trying to get good pitches to hit."
The Jayhawks had opportunities to win the game late. Tharp was left on second base in the ninth inning. Freshman outfielder Dakota Smith
was stranded in scoring position in the 10th and again in the 13th inning. From the ninth inning on, Kansas left six batters on base.
Price said Kansas hasn't been able to find a hot batter in its lineup. Only three players have more than 15 RBIs this season. Outside of Kuntz and Tharp, the rest of the lineup only contributed four hits in the game.
"We don't have a guy on our club hitting .300." Price said. "I think it goes back to having some people in the middle of that lineup that are run-producers. Hitting is contagious."
Kansas had the opportunity to win a momentum-building game. Instead, the victory was left on the field.

Kansas teams show perseverance in tough tournaments
tgraff@kansan.com
TREVOR GRAFF
Kansas men's and women's golf teams finished their respective tournaments Tuesday. The men's team took 6th in the Cowboy Classic, while the women' team placed 15th at the Knights and Pirates Invitational.
The men's team shot the second-lowest score of round three, 275, to rally to a sixth-place finish at the Talking Stick Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. Junior Chris Gilbert paced the Hawkies with
scores of 66, 70 and 66, which put him in a tie for fifth with a total score of 202.
"Chris played rock solid this week, other than just a couple loose shots," coach Kit Grove said. "He's not making a kit of putts, but he's not giving shots away on the green like he was in the early part of the year. That's a very positive sign."
Freshman Dylan McClure is continuing his solid play this spring, after tying for 14th with a total score of 207. McClure made a long putt early in the round Tuesday that got him under par. He held
on to that momentum by finishing under par for the first time in NCAA play.
McClure continued his rough starts, bogeying four of his first five holes, much like his start in the Louisiana Classics last month.
"I'll give the young man credit," Grove said of McClure. "He's a grinder. He's getting better at making the most of the situation."
Junior Alex Gutesha and freshman David Auer finished tied for 62nd with a score of 216. Senior Doug Quinones rounded out the lineup, tied for 74th with a score
of 217.
The men's team only has a few days to recooperate before it plays in the Western Intercollegiate in Santa Cruz, Calif. April 14-15.
For the women's team, Thanuttra Boonrakssasat led the Jayhawks at the Knights and Pirates Invitational in Melbourne, Fla. The players were desperate to find consistency off the tee, and they also struggled with longer iron shots, which is something the Jayhawks have done well so far this season.
"That's the first time that everybody struggled with their swings,"
coach Erin O'Neil said. "We spent a lot of time preparing for this event, focusing on the short game and the mental game, and they both were really good. It was good to see that improve, but the long game just wasn't there."
The Jayhawks played on the Suntree Country Club course, which isn't conducive to errant shots.
"We hit a few random shots that would put us out-of-bounds or in the water," O'Neil said. "Those shots added up, and today we didn't putt well. It's a combination
of those things."
Senior Katy Nugent and junior Audrey Yowell tied for 69th with scores of 240. Freshman Michelle Woods finished 83rd with a score of 247, and Meghan Potee completed the lineup with a 249, placing her 84th. Gabby DiMarco competed as an individual finishing tied for 74th with a score of 242.
The women's next tournament is the Big 12 Championship, which will be held at Lawrence Country Club in Lawrence on April 27-29.

Jayhawks to host tough opponents in next 13 home games
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
After taking to the road for 33 of its first 36 games of the season, the Kansas softball team is back at Arrocha Ballpark for a 13-game home stretch.
Despite its first victory against a ranked opponent this season on Saturday, the team doesn't feel it's time to relax.
Kansas (24-12, 3-9) hosts in-state rival Wichita State (7-29, 0-12) in a doubleheader today. This midweek matchup comes days before No. 5 Texas comes to Lawrence, so the Jayhawks hope they will focus on beating the Shockers before directing their attention to Texas.
"Just don't overlook," senior outfielder Liz Kocon said. "We have to be able to beat the teams we can beat and fight in the games we're not supposed to win."
Wichita State has won just once in 22 games since March 3 and is currently on a nine-game losing streak. The Shockers have not had a win in the Missouri Valley Conference under first-year coach Kristi Brednenner.
Kocon feels that Wichita State is one of those teams they need to beat.
Still, Kansas coach Megan Smith anticipates a scrappy performance
from Wichita State, the only other Division I softball team in the state of Kansas.
"They're going to come out swinging," Smith said, "We're looking for their best game of the year because that's what they do. When they play us, they play extremely well."
"We have to be able to... fight in the games we're not supposed to win."
LIZ KOCON senior outfielder
Smith said the team considers midweek matchups more important than weekend games because "taking care of business during midweek puts us in good position to make our goal of Regionals."
The Kansas offense, currently hitting .280 as team, will play at home with a different lineup than it had two weeks ago.
Freshman infielders Chanin Naudain and Maddie Stein both cracked the upper half of the line-up - Stein in the third spot and Naudain in the fifth - because of their ability to produce in pressure
"It's almost kind of expected," Kocon said. "We don't really treat freshman like freshman. We tell everyone to step up anytime."
Even though both newcomers are still getting their first taste of collegiate softball, Kocon is not surprised that the two freshmen worked their way up the lineup.
No Kansas hitter has been as consistent as junior outfielder Maggie Hull. Hull leads the team with 6 homeruns and ranks seventh in the conference with 72 total bases.
Hull said the biggest key for her and the offense is to focus on situational hitting and not necessarily on simply getting hits. If they don't do that, Hull said, the team risks losing a midweek game like it did against Missouri State on March 27.
"We rolled off the bus expecting to beat them," Hull said of Missouri State. "Sometimes it's easy to just go through the motions and we forget they can beat us. We can't let that happen."
Today's first game begins at 5 p.m., and the second game is scheduled for 7 p.m.
situations. Smith says she expects both to stay in these spots.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 7
"There is nothing to respect about Fidel Casto. He is a brutal dictator who has caused unthinkable pain for more than 50 years. We live in a community filled with victims of this dictatorship, and the people in Cuba continue to suffer today."
- Statement from Miami Marlins following Guillén's comments.
FACT
FACT OF THE DAY
Ozzie Guillen was a part of the Florida Marlins' coaching staff when they won the World Series in 2003.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Where is Ozzie Guillén from?
A: Venezuela.
— miamimartins.com
THE MORNING BREW
Guillén's comment about Castro hurtful
"I love Fidel Castro. I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that (expletive) is still there."
I am of Cuban descent.
I was born and raised in the United States, but I have a mother who came from Cuba and a number of Cuban relatives who still live in Miami.
Those words, uttered by Miami Marlins Manager, Ozzie Guillen, have shaken me. No, I was not personally involved with Castro, but I have plenty of family who were. My great uncle was put on Fidel Castro's firing squad and killed.
Every Cuban family has its own story to tell about Castro, and that is just a small part of mine.
In a recent interview, ESPN's Dan LeBatard, a Cuban-American himself, said it best:
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
"Given what the customer base is for the Marlins, given that they are right on Calle Ocho, a street with a Latin name, given that Ozzie Guillen was hired to be a Latin voice and face for a team that would represent Miami, this
the most possible thing that Ozzie Guillen could have said. I can't think of anything else given the customers that would've been worse because, for Cuban Americans, he's our Hitler."
Miami is a city that was built by Cubans - businesses, stores, restaurants, they are all owned and operated by Cubans. To this day, a majority of the Miami community is composed of Cubans. For Guillén to say what he did, let alone in the heart of Cuban America, is inexcusable. Sure, Guillén is known for having an outgoing personality and saying what's on his mind, but this time, he has gone too far.
It's not even the fact that he's hurt a lot of people, it's that among today's Cubans and Cuban-Americans are the
first generation Cubans, whom Castro put through hell. They are the ones who were really hurt by this.
On Tuesday, Guillen flew back to Miami and addressed a packed press conference.
"This is the biggest mistake of my life. When you make a mistake this big... I will learn from it."
From his body language, it was clear that he was embarrassed and sad about what he had said. He went on to say that he felt the meaning of his comments to Time magazine were misinterpreted in the translation from Spanish to English.
"I don't want to make excuses," he said. "But I meant that I was surprised Fidel Castro stayed in power so long. That's what was missing in the translation... I'm not saying the journalist was wrong. I was wrong. I was thinking in Spanish and I said it wrong in English."
Whether or not that is true, I liked the fact that he took all the blame, and not once did he put the blame on the journalist.
The apology on Tuesday is just a small step toward the right direction.
KU
I wouldn't expect the people of Miami to completely forget about this, nor should they. But at least Guillen got to share what was on his mind with the people of Miami, while taking questions afterwards.
The Marlins have suspended Guillen for five games, something I think definitely needed to be done.
Should he be fired? Probably not. But a message needed to be sent to Guillen and the Miami fans that behavior like this will not be tolerated.
This issue goes far beyond the game of baseball, and Guillen has a long road ahead of him to regain the trust of not only the city, but also every Cuban and Cuban-American out there.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks in the NBA:
read it at Kansan.com
http://udkne.ws/HyX3hX
In essence, Johnson's performance will determine how Kansas will perform in the 2012-2013 season. And just as it worked out with Taylor, Johnson has the talent to make it work again.
It's Johnson's turn to be the star, the leading scorer, the media darling and the fan favorite. Yes, next year's team is Johnson's.
Elijah's turn to step up
But at the end of this season, Self said Taylor is a player who can play guard for him any day, any year. And, I suspect, he'll be able to say the same about Johnson once the 2012-2013 season has concluded.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
And no, it wasn't always easy having Taylor run the offense for a season, and it won't be easy having Johnson run it next year. There will be moments that will make Allen Fieldhouse groan, just as there will be times when the building erupts.
Remember how Kansas fans winced at the idea of Tyshawn Taylor leading the Jayhawks in 2011-2012? Taylor's inconsistent career made spectators question how he would lead Bill Self's offense. And, as it turned out, their doubts were unnecessary.
Here we go again.
— Edited by Corinne Westeman
Now, it's Elijah Johnson's turn to run lavwhawk offence.
At the Kansas basketball awards ceremony on Monday night, Self said that Taylor's play for the season was as good since Self has been at Kansas. But, when it comes to speed, strength, slide, vision and handles, Self said Johnson had his teammate beat.
"The two best guards that we have recruited have been Sherron Collins and Elijah Johnson," Self said.
For the past three seasons, Johnson has been in the shadows of great Kansas point guards. But, just as Tyhsawn Taylor waited three years to shine, Johnson will do the same. Taylor flourished when he was finally put in charge, so Johnson will ideally prove himself next year with the same responsibility.
Quite a high praise for a player who averaged just 10.2 points this season. But anyone who watched Johnson flourish in the NCAA Tournament can understand why Self set expectations at an All-American status.
Actually, anyone who watched just the second half of the championship game could see the junior guard's potential.
When Kansas was in trouble late against Kentucky, the ball found its way into Johnson's hands. When Kansas needed a basket, Johnson would dance with his defenders and get to the rim. He was the guy who would hit the three when Kansas needed it most.
When Kansas needed to beat No. 2 Ohio State — and they did need that win — it was Johnson who came through by hitting five three-point shots to send the Buckeyes back to Columbus with a loss.
He had been doing it most of the season, but it was hard to see his real abilities through the inconsistent fits of play that plagued him throughout the year. When Kansas was trailing Duke by two with time running out, Johnson was the guy to hit the three.

Head Football Coach Charlie Weis speaks to members of the media about the upcoming 2012 football season Tuesday afternoon.
Weis has high hopes for Crist's talent
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Charlie Weis left Saturday's spring football practice with mixed feelings.
While quarterback Dayne Crist brought his best to the practice field Saturday, Weis' conflict was a result of an underwhelming showing from his defense.
Weis said if the team would have played a game on Saturday, the offense would have had a good day.
"Crist was a man among boys," Weis said. However, Weis wouldn't address the defense.
Crist, the quarterback who has become the new face of Kansas football — along with coach Weis
"If you're a defensive player and you see that guy on the other side picking you apart, you're saying we've got a chance."
While Crist has the unusual quality as a person, it was clear that on Saturday, at least, Crist could transfer that personality to the field. His play will be crucial to an offense that ranked 106th in the country last season, averaging only 326.83 yards per game.
And when coach Weis was asked about how having a player like Crist can impact the offense, Weis' response alluded to how important having a strong quarterback really is to a football team.
made early season efforts to get acquainted with his team that is paying dividends now.
CHARLIE WEIS
Kansas football coach
When Crist first visited Kansas, he didn't want to hang out with the wide receivers, not at first at least. Instead, he wanted to spend time with the players that would keep him on his feet: the offensive lineman.
And during Tuesday's press conference, coach Weis shared that Crist's earlier efforts have come to fruition.
"There's a camaraderie there," Weis said. "For a guy to come in, to not really know these guys, these guys have been together for a really long time, and become one of the boys that quickly, that's an unusual quality to be able to have as a person."
"It isn't the offense," Weis said. "It's really the whole team. If you're a defensive player and you see that guy on the other side picking you apart, you're saying we've got a chance. If were in a game, we've got a chance."
As for Tuesday's practice that would take place after Weis' press conference, the coach knows what he saw from Crist on Saturday won't be the norm.
"I hope he looks like that today," Weis said. "He won't, but I hope he does."
And that's exactly what Crist will do for Kansas football; give it a chance. It will take more than just strong play from Crist to help Kansas football get to a bowl game next season, but it's at the very least a start.

Jayhawks lose to Shockers in 16-inning game
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
Kansas' Robert Kahana starts Tuesday night's game at the mound as the Jayhawks take on the Wichita State Shockers at Hoglund Ballpark. The game ended up being Kansas' second-longest game in program history.
After cruising to the fifth inning in less than an hour, the trivia question at the start of the fifth inning was precursor for the record-breaking marathon of a baseball game.
KANSAS 36
"What is the second longest game of the Kansas - Wichita State series?" the public address announcer asked.
The correct answer was 15 innings, but the record stood for just a few more hours as Wichita State went on to defeat the Kansas baseball team 6-4 in 16 innings.
This loss was Kansas' fifth consecutive defeat and drops its record to 12-20. The Jayhawks were one out away from winning the game in regulation, but an RBI double from Wichita State's Casey Gillaspie tied the game at four a piece. Gillaspie's double to deep-center field appeared to be a routine fly ball, but freshman center fielder Dakota Smith lost track of the ball as it fell behind him.
In all, the game ran for four hours and 12 minutes, and last night's 16 innings was the second-longest game in Kansas baseball history. The longest game was a 1-0 KU loss in 18 innings against Oklahoma State in 1967.
Junior closer Tanner Poppe was credited with the blown save, but he went on to pitch four more innings of scoreless baseball. Although Poppe thought the game
could have been over in the ninth, his experience as a starting pitcher benefited him in the extra work.
"It helped be a starter last year, going multiple innings and getting a rhythm," Poppe said. "I definitely got in a rhythm today, and it felt good to go out there and put up some zeros."
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
Despite Smith's costly mistake, coach Ritch Price was encouraged by the way the pitchers responded for the ball game's entirety.
"This is a game that could have ended the losing streak and get us some momentum heading into Wednesday night," Price said. "I feel bad for the young man that he was in that position, but I was thrilled with our pitching."
Over the previous three Tuesday games, the Kansas starting pitchers struggled out of the gates, but freshman pitcher Robert Kahana gave the Jayhawks a quality starting performance. Kahana went six innings and allowed three runs on five hits. Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan entered the game in the seventh inning, and gave Kansas two perfect innings of work.
"I thought Kahana was special for six innings," Price said. "Today was a bullpen day for Duncan, and we used him for two innings, letting us turn the ball over to Poppe."
The Kansas bullpen kept the Shockers screless until the 16th
inning when senior pitcher Jordan Jakubov allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits. Wichita State third baseman Aaron Rea broke the drought with his RBI double to right-center field.
The Jayhawks have the chance to draw even with Wichita State
tonight when the Jayhawks travel to Wichita for the second leg of the home-and-home. Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick is scheduled to start for Kansas. After a loss like this, junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz said that the team will bring plenty of energy for
Wednesday's game.
"A game like that definitely hurts, but we have to keep our head up and bring the intensity tomorrow," Kuntz said.

The future of federal funding for research at the University remains uncertain as the last of the stimulus money provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, ARRA, is spent this summer. Federal research grants provide funding sources for basic level research, which offer many graduate students income and experience at the University.
"The growth of research dollars from the federal dollars has been flat or declining in the past five to seven years," said Steve Warren, Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies. "We can't do a lot without those federal dollars."
Research funding declines; hinders student experience
While spending on research grew to $240 million in the fiscal year 2011, almost $24 million came from the temporary ARRA award, which has been mostly spent on infrastructure. While some research is financed privately or through the state, most of it is funded through federal agencies.
Brock Roughton, a graduate student from Denver, analyzes data as part of his PhD studies. Roughton's project is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Health.
"Funding isn't going away, but there's less of it, and it's harder to get," Warren said. "Our advantage in this kind of market is that we have some very competitive faculty members. They'll do fine and get through this."
Kyle Camarda, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said 90 percent of his research relies on federal funding. He said most of that funding goes to pay graduate students assisting

"Federal funding allows us to do more theoretical projects designed to help the general welfare of the population," Camarda said. "Without that funding, I couldn't fund those graduate research students."

Camarda's current projects include improving anti-HIV drug delivery, making medications safer to use and increasing the efficiency of distillation, one of the greatest uses of energy in the world.
Camarda said that federal funding pays for basic research that private companies would rarely support. But that basic research gives tools for companies to apply for more applied research, Camarda said.
his research.
"Federal funding allows more students to be involved in research and pursue graduate degrees," Roughton said.
While his grant will expire next year, Roughton expects it will be renewed despite federal budget cuts. Roughton works with two other graduate students on projects meant to prevent negative immune response to medications.
Brock Roughton, a graduate student from Denver, is working on his Ph.D. under Camarda. In his third year, Roughton is working under a grant given by the National Institute of Health.

"I think research is vital because it aims to seek truth, and that should always be encouraged in a society," Roughton said.

SPQR violates chalking rules

Before Wednesday night's hearing at the Kansas Union on SPQR's chalking violations, six members of SPQR lined one side of the oval table in togas while six red-shirted KUnited members sat opposite them in the Curry Room.
Keith Adams, the election commission chairman, entered the room and immediately told SPQR that the hearing was professional and anyone without a shirt under the toga should get a shirt or leave. Two members decided to leave.
After a half hour of debate, the hearing committee — composed of four elections commission members — found SPQR in serious violation of the Student Senate elections code.
SAY NO MORE
It was that kind of night for SPOR.
In effect, SPQR has been ordered to clean and remove all SPQR related chalkings by 10 a.m. Thursday morning. If that isn't done, the coalition will be dissolved and no seats awarded to SPQR by vote will be granted.

"The voting members of the elections commission have determined that the intent of SPQR was malicious, and it has altered the political climate." Adams said. He also added that comments on SPQR's Facebook page showed intent to commit the violation and a refusal to pay any fines, so the commission decided against a monetary penalty.

Jamaica Kincaid, a west Indian writer, speaks for the Landscapes and Memory lecture held at Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas University Tuesday night. Kincaid has 15 publications of novels and poetry.
"Obviously we are running against KUnited," Sultana said. "It specifically targets issues that we feel the students need to be informed about and be aware of. In that way, we do try to provide information statements that foster discourse."
The violation had to do with SPQR campaign manager Brian Sultana's chalking of "the best student leadership money can buy," and "Fuck career politicians," next to KUnited's chalked messages. According to a brief by KUnited spokesman Marc Savoy, three
were supposed to be pointed attacks against KUnited, Sultana said it was a part of SPQR's message.
Savoy said the hearing committee was right in its decision.
"The commission has a wide range of discretion to act in broad ways," Savoy said. "I think they did that tonight: I think it was within the realm of what they could do."
The ruling gave SPQR 13 hours to clean up the chalking.
Allison Kohn, KUnited's campaign manager, said KUnited has been trying to run the cleanest campaign in its history.
Sultana was asked if SFQR will abide by the hearing committee's ruling.
But Savoy said that the close proximity of SPQR's message affected KUnited's message.
"It was just tacking on an idea to a campaign that would dissuade students in the sense of harming the brand," Savoy said. "It tampers with the message."
"It was just really offensive," said Kohn about SPQR's messages. "We were just kind of shocked that our opponent would want to fight dirty."
Sultana said that KUnited's vast campaign filled the sidewalks, making it harder for SPQR to chalk without being close to KUnited.
"If it's in fact not doing any of the four things of actually messing with the chalking of the other group, then it's free for all," said Sultana on the freedom to chalk on the sidewalks.
Specifically, the commission ruled that SPQR violated section 409.B.6. of the code, which states, "No individual shall remove, deface, obscure or otherwise tamper with the campaign materials of another candidate or coalition." The markings obscured KUnited's chalking under the code.
When asked if the two messages
"Maybe the rain will come," he said.
During the questioning period, the hearing committee asked both sides if they considered SPQR chalking as defacing, obscuring or tampering with KUnited's chalking. It also asked what each coalition thought was a reasonable distance between coalition chalking.
Sultana said that his chalking did not by definition deface, obscure or tamper with KUnited's chalking since it wasn't altering the message in any way. Also, while maintaining that SPQR wasn't opposed to KUnited's aggressive chalking,
"The ruling was ludicrous"
Sultana said.
KUnited members witnessed the violation and documented it.

A full Woodruff Auditorium listened as Jamaica Kincaid spoke about her famous writing Tuesday evening as a part of the Humanities Lecture Series presented by Hall Center for the Humanities.
Kincaid, born Elaine Potter Richardson, grew up impoverished on the Caribbean island of Antigua, which was occupied by British forces during the '50s and '60s when Kincaid grew up.
Her literature is best known for its use of landscapes, strong female characters and characters who struggle colonization. Some of her well-known work includes "Annie John" "A Small Place" and "Lucv"

Kincaid classifies her works as autobiographical.
Author's perspective moves students
SPEAKER
"Everything is autobiographical including the punctuation," Kincaid joked. "It isn't true in the sense of court of law, but is true in a sense of my life."
Kincaid shared a chapter of her new book "See Now Then," which will not be released until September, and took questions from the audience, most of which were about her experience in Antigua.
"I am a product of the colonial experience," Kincaid said, referring to the racism and rigorous British school system she experienced in Antigua. "I once had to copy books one and two of Paradise Lost as punishment in school."

For Kincaid, the love of reading is eventually what led her to write, and her passion for the two was infectious.
"Listening to her just really made me want to buy her new book and read more of her stuff", Jamie Fuller, a sophomore from Wichita, said, who attended as a part of her evolution class.
"She had so many interesting things to say and the way she says it really puts you in her shoes,"
Fuller said. "I really enjoyed the perspective it offered."
Kinkaid, now a professor at Claremont McKenna College in California, signed books for the audience after her lecture.

Painted rain barrels raise money for KU
Barrels became canvases for campus and community organizations to decorate as part of the KU Rain Barrels on Parade project.
Kelsey Cipolla
More than 40 groups and individuals painted barrels in gardening and farming, Kansas spirit, and community categories. Children under the age of 12 could also enter in their own division. Photos of the barrels are posted on the KU Rain Barrels on Parade Facebook page. Voting is open until 10 a.m. Friday and people can vote by liking a barrel's photo.
The barrel in each category with the most likes will be included in the Lawrence Earth Day Parade on Saturday, April 14, at 11 a.m. which starts at Buford Watson Park and ends at South Park.
After the parade, all the barrels will be auctioned off on April 23 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Kansas Ballroom and the proceeds will go to the KU Student Rain Garden. The evening will also include four panel discussions on the environment moderated by the KU Environs, said the organization's president, Kim Scherman, a senior from Eudora.
CRIME
Murder charge for Zimmerman
SANFORD. Fla. — The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin to death had been out of touch and, his ex-lawyer says, "a little bit over the edge" before his arrest on a second-degree murder charge.
As George Zimmerman turned himself in Wednesday in the Feb. 26 shooting of the unarmed black teen, experts offered this advice: Stop talking.
"My advice to the client would be, 'Save it for the trial. It can't help you.'" said Roy Kahn, a Miami defense attorney,.
The 28-year-old Sanford man was in custody in Florida after a puzzling disappearance that had his lawyers expressing concern for his health and announcing they couldn't represent him anymore. Zimmerman had called special prosecutor Angela Corey, his former lawyers said, had an off-the-record chat with a Fox News Channel host and put up a website asking supporters for money.
"It would not be in a client's best interest to give any statement before it's his time to testify at trial." Kahn said.

Romney to try to repair damage with women, Hispanic voters
Mitt Romney finally is free to focus on the November election. But the all-but-crowned GOP presidential nominee still has a difficult course to navigate.
Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom famously suggested that Romney, a moderate as governor of
Pushed to the right in the brutal primary battle, he now can try to repair the damage he was dealt and reach out to constituencies he will need in the general election. Poll shows he trails seriously among women voters and has problems with Hispanics because of his hardline positions on immigration.
Massachusetts, could reset his strategy after nailing down the GOP nomination much like one would start a new picture on an Etch A Sketch toy.
With the exit of Rick Santorum, Romney "don't have to talk conservative anymore," said conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. "Will he continue to do so? We will find out. It won't take very long."
Of course, it's not that simple.
Romney can't afford to further alienate conservatives, who have yet to embrace him warmly. He needs to rally them for November. And any overt tack to the middle would reinforce criticism — first leveled by Republicans
of him as a flip-flopper. He'll likely look to his right for a running mate.
Also, President Barack Obama keeps highlighting wide differences between them, even suggesting the choice will be as stark as the 1964 race between President Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater.
That may be a bit of a stretch, but it's a point Obama keeps hammering home as he continues to paint Romney as out of touch and beholden to the rich. He did it again Wednesday, promoting his proposal for a minimum tax on millionaires for the second day in a row.

Tsunami warnings cause widespread panic in Indonesia
Residents flood the streets following a tsunami alert in Indonesia. The alert was triggered by an 8.6-magnitude earthquake of the coast of Indonesia.
---
A
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — Two massive earthquakes triggered back-to-back tsunami warnings for Indonesia on Wednesday, sending panicked residents fleeing to high ground in cars and on the backs of motorcycles.

MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called NATO a "relic of the Cold War era," but said Russia should nonetheless continue supporting the alliance's mission in Afghanistan.
Putin, who won a third presidential term last month, defended the government's intention to offer NATO a new logistics facility on Russian territory to facilitate transit of military cargo to and from Afghanistan.
"It's in our national interests to help maintain stability in Afghanistan," Putin told lawmakers who voiced concerns that a NATO facility on Russian soil would threaten its security.
Moscow has provided the U.S. and other NATO member states with air corridors and railway routes for carrying supplies to and from landlocked Afghanistan — the link that has become particularly important since Pakistan partially blocked NATO supplies from crossing its territory following an alliance airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani

border troops in November.
The new deal, which is now being considered by the Russian government, would for the first time allow alliance members to set up a logistics facility in the Volga River city of Ulyanovsk for troops and cargo on Russian territory.
Putin said that while Russia sees the alliance as a Cold War relic and has been critical of some of its actions, it views NATO's efforts in Afghanistan as crucial for its own security interests, helping prevent instability from spreading into ex-Soviet Central Asia.
He said the new logistics facility wouldn't be a military base, simply offering NATO a stopover for air transit.
Relations between Russia, the United States and NATO have soured over U.S.-led NATO missile defense plan that Washington says is aimed at defecting a potential Iranian threat. Moscow fears it will eventually become powerful enough to underline Russias's nuclear deterrent.

Victory for South Korea's ruling party in parliament
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea's ruling party claimed a majority Thursday in a parliamentary vote that centered on domestic issues but had implications for Seoul's relationship with the North.
President Lee Myung-bak's conservative Saenuri Party was expected to win at least 152 seats while his liberal rivals were set to claim 140 in the race for 300 parliamentary seats, the National Election Commission said with 1 percent of ballots left uncounted. South Koreans went to the polls a day earlier.
Ties between the two Koreas plummeted during Lee's tenure, with two attacks Seoul blames on Pyongyang killing 50 South Koreans in 2010. North Korea also conducted a long-range rocket launch and tested a nuclear device in 2009.
After North Korean leader Kim Jong II died in December and his son Kim Jung Un took over, Pyongyang stepped up criticism of Lee, accusing his government of failing to pay proper respect to Kim Jong II.
South Korea, the U.S. and others have urged the North to cancel
a rocket launch it plans as soon as Thursday, calling it a cover to test long-range missile technology rather than the peaceful satellite launch Pyongyang claims. Lee's government has said it will shoot down any rocket parts that threaten to fall onto the South's territory.
Despite Pyongyang's rocket preparations, the launch wasn't a major issue in Wednesday's elections, which were largely seen as a way to gauge public sentiment ahead of December's presidential polls. Voters have said they care more about economic and other domestic issues.

After being pronounced dead, baby found alive in morgue
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A mother in Argentina said she fell to her knees in shock after finding her baby alive in a coffin in the morgue nearly 12 hours after the girl had been declared dead.
Analia Bouguet named her newborn Luz Milagros, or "Miracle Light." The tiny girl, born three months premature, was in critical but improving condition Wednesday in the same hospital where the staff pronounced her stillbirth on April 3.
The case became public Tuesday when Rafael Sabatinelli, the deputy health minister in the northern province of Chaco, announced in a
news conference that five medical professionals involved have been suspended pending an official investigation.
Bouguet told the TeleNoticias TV channel in an interview Tuesday night that doctors gave her the death certificate just 20 minutes after the baby was born, and that she still hasn't received a birth certificate for her tiny girl.
Bouquet said the baby was quickly put in a coffin and taken to the morgue's refrigeration room. Twelve hours passed before she and her husband were able to open the coffin to say their last goodbyes.
She said that's when the baby trembled. She thought it was her imagination — then she realized the little girl was alive, and dropped to her knees on the morgue floor in shock.
A morgue worker quickly picked up the girl and confirmed she was alive. Then, Bouguet's brother grabbed the baby and ran to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, shouting for the doctors. The baby was so cold. Bouguet said, that "it was like carrying a bottle of ice."
A week later, the baby is improving.

Smugglers exploit applicants
The ads by smugglers offer jobs as security guards, housecleaners and cashiers, and applicants are later told they have to drive company cars to the United States. They aren't told, however, that the vehicles are carrying drugs.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — For years, smugglers have used classified ads to recruit people to drive drugs across the border. Now, the U.S. government is fighting back with ads of its own.
Starting this week, U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement began buying ad space in Tijuana newspapers to warn jobseekers they might be unwitting targets.
"Why don't we do the same thing that (cartels are) doing? It's successful for them. Why wouldn't it be successful for us?" Lester Hayes, a group supervisor for ICE in San Diego, recalls his agents telling him.
There have been 39 arrests since February 2011 at San Diego's two border crossings tied to newspaper ads for seemingly legitimate jobs,
according to ICE, which hadn't seen such significant numbers before.
Drug smugglers always look to exploit weak links along the 1,954-mile border, even if the window of opportunity is brief. In the past several years, they have turned to makehift boats on the Pacific Ocean and ultralight aircraft in the deserts of California and Arizona. In the San Diego area, there has been a spike in teenagers strapping drugs to their bodies to walk across the border from Tijuana.
Those arrests have yielded 3,400 pounds of marijuana,75 pounds of cocaine and 100 pounds of methamphetamine — a tiny fraction of total seizures but enough to convince U.S. authorities that smugglers are increasingly turning to the recruitment technique.
Some suddenly popular techniques are limited to particular pockets of the border. For instance, ICE has not spotted significant spikes in newspaper ads outside of San Diego.
States — an invitation that only people who can cross the border legally need apply — with a phone number and sometimes a location to apply in person.
New hires are told they must drive company cars across the border, typically to a fast-food restaurant or shopping center in San Diego, according to ICE. When they arrive, they are often told there will be no work after all that day and must leave the car and walk back to Mexico after being paid a small amount.
Ads that authorities connect to drug smugglers appear innocuous. They offer work in the United
The drivers are typically paid $50 to $200 a trip — much less than the $1,500 to $5,000 that seasoned smugglers are typically paid for such trips, Hayes said.
The tactic lowers expenses for drug traffickers and also lures drivers who are less likely to appear nervous when questioned by a border inspector because they are never told they are ferrying drugs, said Millie Jones, an assistant special agent in charge of investigations for ICE in San Diego.

Mismanagement of funds leads to $1 billion settlement
YAKIMA, Wash. — The federal government will pay more than $1 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by American Indian tribes over mismanagement of tribal money and trust lands, under a settlement announced Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The agreement resolves claims brought by 41 tribes from across the country to reclaim money lost in mismanaged accounts and from royalties for oil, gas, grazing and timber rights on tribal lands.
The settlement was announced jointly by the Justice Department and the Interior Department, which manages more than 100,000 leases on tribal trust lands and about 2,500 tribal trust accounts
Ending the long-running dispute allows the governments involved to move beyond distrust and antagonism, and empowerers Indian communities going forward, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said.
for more than 250 federally recognized tribes.
"These settlements fairly and honorably resolve historical grievances over the accounting and management of tribal trust funds, trust lands, and other non-monetary trust resources that, for far too long, have been a source of conflict between Indian tribes and the United States," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
The latest announcement follows a $3.4 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought by the late Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe from Browning, Montana.
of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, whose reservation covers southwest Colorado, southeast Utah and northern New Mexico. But the settlements will assist tribal governments in supplementing decades of inadequate funding throughout Indian Country, helping to improve public safety, infrastructure and health care, he said.
All tribes have had a dark relationship with the federal government, said Gary Hayes, chairman
"The seeds that we plant today will profit us in the future and continue for generations to come," Haves said.

Electronic sound rules the festival
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — The 2012 Lollapalooa lineup announced Wednesday reaffirms that the culture of DJs and electronic artists is catching up with rock as a live attraction on the lucrative summer festival circuit.
But for an increasing number of fans in a key Lollapalooa demographic — those in their late teens to mid-20s — the dance music acts are the primary draw. Continuing the increasingly heavy dance music theme of past summers, two electronic acts for the first time will headline the main stages: 22-year-old Swedish DJ/producer Avicii and French electronic duo Justice.
Two of the rock headliners for the Aug. 3-5 festival in Chicago's Grant Park — the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a reunited Black Sabbath — have a retro feel. Also playing closing slots on the main stages will be the Black Keys and Jack White, two acts that update classic, guitar-based blues and rock from the '60s and '70s.
Nostalgia remains a big theme on the rock side of the Lolla spectrum. Besides the Sabbath set, which includes original members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, two
The big music story at last year's festival was the explosive growth of dance-music acts such as Skrillex and Deadmau5, and this year the Perry's electronic stage will once again be moving to a bigger location in Grant Park to accommodate the burgeoning fan base, Texas-based promoters C3 Presents have said. Among the headliners at Perry's will be DJ/ producer Bassnectar and singer Santigold, who is scheduled to release the follow-up to her acclaimed 2008 debut album in a few weeks.

other notable reunions are being staged: Texas avant-punk group At the Drive In, which broke up in 2001, and the Afghan Whigs, the Greg Dulli-led Cincinnati band that also imploded in 2001.
Only a smattering of world music acts are represented, including Brazil's O Rappa, Chile's Los Jaivas and Mali's Amadou & Mariam. You'll also have to dig pretty deep to find hip-hop, represented by Childish Gambino, Doomtree and Macklemore & Lewis.
Think you've seen and heard some of this lineup before? You have. The Chili Peppers return to headline Lollapalooza for the third time, having done it previously in 1992 and 2006. Also making at least their second visits to the festival are the Black Keys, Jack White (who appeared previously with the Raconteurs), Miike Snow, Bloc Party, the Temper Trap and Delta Spirit.
In its early years during the '90s, the festival became a stepping stone for a large number of cutting-edge rock acts toward wider recognition. That role has diminished in recent years as Lollapaloza has reinvented itself as more of a mainstream festival for rock, while the electronic component has restored some of its youthful vitality.
4:20 & 7:00
This year's lineup boasts at least a dozen up-and-comers aiming to broaden their audience. These include Canadian artist the Weeknd, alternative R&B vocalist Frank Ocean, British folk-soul singer Michael Kiwanau, blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr., soulrockers Alabama Shakes, Merrill Garbus and her band Tune-Yards, and singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten.

Lionsgate followed the Ross statement by saying that it was "very sorry that Gary Ross has chosen not to direct 'Catching Fire,'" adding that he "did an incredible job on the first film and we are grateful for his work." It also said, "This will not be the end of our relationship, as we consider Ross to be part of the Lionsgate family and look forward to working with him in the future."
Director passes film because of schedule
The news will inevitably spark a new round of speculation, calling to mind another famous director-studio separation after a hit: Catherine Hardwicke's high-profile departure from Summit's "Twilight Saga." As in that case, the studio in question was run by Rob Friedman (Summit and Lionsgate were recently combined into one entity), though there are also some differences. Hardwicke's "Twilight," for instance, did not earn reviews as strong as Ross' "The Hunger Games."
LOS ANGELES — Proving the adage that there's nothing as complicated in Hollywood as a hit, Gary Ross won't direct "Catching Fire," the second installment in Lionsgate's massively popular "The Hunger Games" franchise.
Ross went on to call-directing "The Hunger Games" "the happiest experience of my professional life." Then, addressing the reports, he said, "Contrary to what has been reported, negotiations with Lionsgate have not been problematic. They have also been understanding of me through this difficult decision."
After several weeks of reports that the parties were haggling over money and deal points, both studio and director made statements in an email from Lionsgate that sought to dismiss those reports even as they confirmed that they were parting ways.
Ross led the statement, saying that "Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct 'Catching Fire.' As a writer and a director, I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule."
The second installment of the Jennifer Lawrence-starring franchise based on Suzanne Collins' book series is scheduled to come out in November 2013. That's about 19 months away — not a luxurious timetable, but hardly a bang-bang one either.
The guessing game can now begin in earnest on which director should take on "Catching Fire," which centers on Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark after they leave the Arena in the titular games. The film already has a shiny pedigree in one respect: Simon Beaufy, the Oscar-winning "Slumdow Millionaire" scribe, is penning the new film.

Disney trivializes women's struggles
FILM
This Summer, Pixar is releasing their latest animated film, "Brave." Though the film is being praised by critics for featuring Pixar's first female protagonist, the film might not be as progressive as you think.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Pixar and its parent company, Disney, have struggled to come up with a likeable, strong female character and "Brave" does not look poised to remedy that.
Brave tells the story of Princess Merida, the daughter of a king who rebels against her parents' wishes when they try to marry her off. The trailer shows a litany of unworty suitors being paraded in front of the young princess only to have her roll her eyes and ignore them. When an archery contest is held to see who can win the princess's hand, Merida takes to the field, announcing that she'll be competing to win her own hand. She nails three bulls-eyes in a row before turning to glare at her mother.
The main mistake that Brave seems to be making, one that Disney and countless other studios have made, is that they think having a female protagonist means the story has to be about them being a woman and the oppression that
women face. Disney tried a similar tactic with Jasmine in "Aladdin" and Ariel in "The Little Mermaid."
It would be one thing if these movies were really groundbreaking looks into the struggles facing women in today's world, but they really come off like half-assed attempts to make the company look progressive. Jasmine is an especially eerrible example of this.
Disney attempted to make Jasmine a so-called "Strong Female Character" by having her complain about her father's attempts to marry her off at every given opportunity. While the message might be progressive (though not that progressive; I'm fairly certain everyone believes a woman should get to choose her husband already), the character comes off as shrewish and annoying.
If I had to rank my favorite characters from "Aladdin", she would come in eighth behind the evil Jafar, her incompetent father, and a decorative rug that has zero dialogue.
COME ON!
You can do better than this.
Many people like to say the abundance of unlikeable, but objectively "good" female characters like Jasmine or Marge Simpson is because men can't write good roles for women. While there is certainly a troubling lack of female writers in Hollywood, I think this is too easy of an answer.
I would say that the most feminist filmmaker currently working is Quentin Tarantino. Five of his seven movies feature female protagonists and three of those ("Death Proof" and the two "Kill Bill" movies) go even further and feature women almost exclusively.
However, what makes these movies feminist is not the number of female characters as how they are presented. In "Kill Bill vol. 1" and "Kill Bill vol. 2", Uma Thurman plays an assassin who hunts down the members of the primarily female "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad".
In a normal action movie, there might be a scene where she gets cornered by bad guys who

laugh at her because they think a woman can't be dangerous, showing off how progressive it is to have a woman in the lead role. But Tarantino at no point makes a big deal that she and her former colleagues are women. He acts like that's a perfectly normal way for things to be.
Similarly, "Inglourious Basterds" [sic] does not make a big deal out of having a woman, Shosanna, get as much screen-time as the title characters in World War II movie. It's just the way it is.
While Pixar and other studios
try to seem progressive by showing off the few female protagonists they have, filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Joss Whedon (whom I unfortunately didn't have enough room to discuss), create films and TV shows where the genders are balanced and then expect everyone else to follow suit.
As "Brave" and other movies like it get released, remember that constantly tells you how progressive it is isn't always that.

Ryan Gosling's heroic actions unappreciated by the media
An open letter to actor Ryan Gosling:
Dear Mr. Gosling.
Dr Daniel Obninotas
Last week I heard about how you saved a real-life woman (again) from almost certain peril! I was really impressed, having shied away from doing the same thing on multiple occasions and, indeed, been saved by women in like manner. I'm a really big fan of your acting, and you seem like a gennine stand-up guy. I'd like to buy you several beers and a couple of shots while we discuss how I can win the heart of the inexpressibly lovely and talented Michelle Williams.
By Daniel Obermeier
dobermeier@kansan.com
I expected that the damsel whom you saved (an ostensibly left-wing journalist named Laurie Penny) would react like any fairytale princess (or me for that matter) and swoon in profuse thanks over your selflessness and winsome personality. Because I'm greedy, I'd also ask you what your favorite part working on "Blue Valentine" was.
But did she really say, "I don't believe that the fact that A-list celebrities occasionally act like human beings is in itself news — it might have been slightly newsworthy had Mr. Gosling simply floated by on a cloud of his own cultural significance whilst a young woman got gumed into the tarmac,
but lucky for me, even the most chiseled-jawed of us are usually boringly dependable in times of minor peril."? That was a rhetorical question- she said that and much more via the Internet. Apparently getting saved by you is-the perfect opportunity to teach everyone else how meaningless it is to be saved at all.
Well Mr. Gosling (may I call you Ryan?), we all make mistakes about the people we save. We all might save some self-righteous journalist who was too busy thinking about "the importance of reproductive freedom to women's rights" to look both ways. Unless I misinterpret Ms. Penny's sentiments, she would rather be smeared on the tarmac than have people think well of you.
I was amused by the New York Magazine website's description of Ms. Penny as, "one of those leftie-types who is so sanctimonious they make you want to vote Republican out of sheer spite." Ain't it the truth?
Ryan. I know you do a lot of charity work and that's fantastic, but I've always had this instinctual distaste for people so busy volunteering for humanity they've forgotten how to be civil to their fellow man. You, my excellent actor friend, do a marvelous job of doing the right thing while not rubbing it in everyone's face.
As a member of the world, I have no desire to be saved by Laurie Penny or her busy work causes. I have enough trouble actually living in the ordinary way which you so excellently portray in "Drive," "The Notebook," "The Believer," and "The Ides of March."
In summation, it was her luck (and our misfortune) to be so heroically rescued. Really, Ryan, I'd hope that if I was saved by you or anyone, I would have the graciousness to thank you publicly then continue doing things that hardly anybody cares about. The things you do will stand as great monuments to what an unbelievably goodhearted person you are.
As much love as I'm legally allowed to send,
Daniel Obermeier

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
fifty one years ago, on April 12, 1961, history
April 12, 1961, history was written when Yuri Gagarin became the first man to go to space. He walked through the door leading to the cosmos for the rest of mankind to follow him. Every year on this day people around the world remind themselves of the advances in space exploration since the first bold leap of Gagarin. So I decided to at least write about his flight today to mark the 51st anniversary of the first manned space flight and how the world celebrates humanity's spaceflight as Yuri's Night.
Out of more than 3000 applicants to the first cosmonaut program, only 200 were short listed. Out of these, 20 were selected after extensive tests. Only 6 of them were named to be the first cosmonauts to go to space. Out of those, 6 it was announced that the first two would be Gagarin, with Titov serving as the backup cosmonaut. The rocket carrying a Vostok 3KA capsule with Yuri Gagarin strapped inside blasted off the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 6:07 UTC on April 12, 1961. Russia made an official announcement of Gagarin's flight only when his capsule had reached a stable orbit 25 minutes after the launch. The whole flight lasted 108 minutes, during which he completed one orbit around the Earth.
The Vostok capsule was not designed to land with a cosmonaut onboard because of a high,
unsafe landing speed, since it did not have retro rockets to slow it down. According to the mission plan, the cosmonaut had to eject at an altitude of 4 miles and descend with his parachute. On the morning of the launch, only a handful of people knew about Yuri Gagarin, but that night he became a world celebrity.
You might ask what you are going do about it. You can start by celebrating tonight! Gagarin's first flight has been celebrated every year since 1961, but in the year 2001, Yuri's Night—a global celebration of humanity's past, present, and future in space—was started. This party is in memory of Gagarin's first spaceflight and also the first space shuttle launch on April 12, 1981 (the dates are just coincidence and were not planned since the Shuttle launch was postponed by two days).
Last year, which marked the 50th anniversary of first manned spaceflight, over 100,000 people attended 567 officially-recognized events in 75 countries to celebrate Yuri's Night. The nearest officially recognized Yuri's Night celebration is in Wichita. Since it is too late to contact the host in Wichita, I say go and celebrate tonight. Have an all night techno, go stargazing, or gather with your friends at a bar.

Santorum's exit changes Romney's focus
As Rick Santorum finally suspended his Presidential campaign on April 10, I must raise my hand and admit my foolishness. If you'll recall, which I doubt you will, I wrote about Santorum's prospects on this very page immediately following the South Carolina primary. I said, "If Santorum is around by Super Tuesday (March 6), I'll be highly surprised." Who knew that hod stick around for as long as he did?
Let's do a quick Santorum caucus/primary win recap. The man I said wouldn't resonate with voters won in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Colorado, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. He won 285 delegates, which is a far cry from the 1,144 necessary to become the Republican Presidential nominee but is second only to Mitt Romney. Mr. Santorum clearly ran a campaign that mattered to the rural and religious communities and was very popular
By Billy McCroy
By Billy McCroy bmccroy@kansan.com
with Midwestern voters.
While the immediate reasons for his suspension are commendable; his three year old daughter has been in the hospital for a week. There are many within the GOP sphere that think Santorum's dropout timing was due to the fact that he wanted to spare himself the humiliation of losing the Pennsylvania primary, his home state, in hopes of running in 2016 or 2020. In a Washington Post opinion piece, Ralph Reed, a longtime social conservative activist said, "He [Santorum]...[is] the most...inurgent conservative candidate since [Ronald] Reagan in
1976. My guess is we haven't heard the last from Rick Santorum." No matter the real reasons, it was about time that he dropped out of the Republican race for the good of the party in November.
Traditionally, Presidential nomination campaigns have been decided by the late spring. Ultimately, the GOP must remind themselves that the real goal is winning in November and infighting will only hurt whomever comes out of Tampa with the nomination.
The strongest Republican nominee throughout the process has been Romney. However, it is clear that voters attempted to find someone else. The nomination process has been a carousel of potential Romney opponents; Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and finally Rick Santorum. All have had their chance to seriously challenge Romney yet none of them have been able to sustain that challenge. It was Romney's nomination to lose and he has buoyed himself
against polarizing himself against any potential voters in a move that shows great foresight. In the last weeks, Romney has shifted his targeting away from his fellow Republican nominee candidates and focused on attacking the President directly.
directly.
For all practical purposes, the Republican Presidential nomination race is over, Mitt Romney is the clear victor. It is a joke that Newt Gingrich thinks he still adds anything to the discussion. Gingrich was billed as just the right sort of conservative candidate that Southern conservatives would flock to, arguably the strongest wing within the GOP. But Gingrich hasn't carried a significant number of counties outside of South Carolina, Florida and Georgia, his home state. Gingrich has been deeply ensconced in third place for quite some time and likely won't surpass Santorum's number of delegates. Ron Paul would argue with a wall, if given the chance, so it's no surprise
As the clear nominee for President from the Republican party, Mitt Romney must now focus on relating with voters. While his popularity amongst the center of the Republican party and Northeastern voters, he has a lot to do in the South and Midwest. He'll have to either distance himself with the Massachusetts healthcare system he put in place or do a better job of explaining why it isn't the same as Obamacare. And while his financial background should help him with American business owners, both big and small, his image thus far has been that of the elitist, Northeastern "one-percenter". But what do I know? My bet for Santorum was a month and 285 delegates short.
he hasn't dropped out. He receives the benefit of at least having a small share of the GOP race spotlight before he inevitably becomes the Libertarian candidate.

Jayhawks snag two wins in doubleheader
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
GAME ONE
Behind a strong offensive night from several hitters, the Kansas softball team outhit and outscoored a struggling Wichita State team in both games of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Kansas (26-12, 3-9) posted 22 hits, combined for 17 runs and moved to a three game winning streak.
Kansas came out swinging in its first game at Arrocha Ballpark in more than two weeks.
After a Wichita State (7-31,
0-12) home run in the top of the
first, Kansas reclaimed the lead in
the bottom half with two runs of
its own.
The lajhwayk then send 12 hitters to the plate in a seven-run second inning. The resulting 9-1 lead would hold until the run-rule ended the game after five innings.
Junior infielder Mariah Montgomery, who went 1 for 3 with a run scored and an RBI, said the offense was able to feed off of one another throughout the first two innings.
"It's contagious," Montgomery said. "It's like a snowball effect. We see the momentum we get from taking a walk or getting a hit and everything flows after that."
Eight Kansas players recorded at least one hit in the game as the team posted the most runs in a single game since March 9.
Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (13-6) cruised after the first inning. She allowed just two hits on the night, striking out four and walking none.
The game marked the fourth time Kansas has run-ruled an opponent this season.
GAME TWO
It took a bit longer for Kansas to break through in the second game, but when it did, the runs poured in, yet again.
After falling behind by a run in the first inning, Kansas went scoreless until the third.
Then, a lead off walk by sophmore outfielder Elsa Moyer followed by a single from sophomore infielder Ashley Newman set the table for the heart of the lineup.
Two singles and a sacrifice fly gave Kansas a 2-1 lead before Montgomery stepped to the plate with two runners on.
Montgomery launched her sixth home run of the season just over the wall in left, knocking in three runs and giving Kansas a big inning.
"She needed it," coach Megan Smith said of the home run. "She's been a little up and down lately, and she needed to have a day like today. Offensively she stepped up."
Montgomery said it felt good to hit the ball on the barrel, but credited her coaches with building and maintaining her confidence through ups and downs.
Sophomore pitcher Morgan Druhan (8-4) picked up the win but struggled with her command. She walked five and struck out five before being relieved after four innings by Pille.
Smith admitted the emotion of a run-rule victory can make it difficult to regain focus quickly and said that could have contributed to a slower start in the second game.
KANSAS
In the end, Kansas took care of business in its midweek matchup before No. 4 Texas comes to Lawrence for a three-game series Friday.
For freshman infielder Chanin Naudin, that's all that really matters.
"We could have probably produced more or did little things differently, but we still pulled out wins that we needed."

Pierce scores 22 to beat Hawks in overtime
BOSTON — Paul Pierce overcame a miserable shooting game with a key jumper in overtime and Rajon Rondo finished with a triple-double with 20 assists, 10 points and 14 rebounds to lift the surging Boston Celtics to an 88-61 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.
It was Rondo's 19th straight game with double digits in assists.
Kevin Garnett had 22 points and grabbed 12 boards before fouling out with just under 3 minutes left in OT, and Brandon Bass, who also hit a jumper in OT, scored 21 points.
Je Teague led the Hawks with 21 points and Josh Smith had 20 with 11 rebounds. The Hawks had won eight of 11 since losing to Boston at home on March 19.
It was the Celtics' 11th win in 14 games. Pierce finished with 14 points.
Bass and Pierce hit jumpers, giving Boston an 88-84 lead early in the OT, but the Hawks sliced it to a one possession game on Kirk Hinrich's open jumper.
The teams traded turnovers over the next 2 minutes — with the Hawks' Smith getting picked cleanly by Pierce with 30 seconds to play, but the Celtics' captain was called for an offensive foul on the other end with 10.1 seconds to go.
Smith front-trimmed a 3 and Boston gained possession after a battle for the rebound went out of bounds off a Hawks' player in front of Boston with bench 1.3 seconds left.
Boston inbounded the ball to Rondo, who fired it in the air as the horn sounded. Pierce, just 6 of 19 from the floor, raised his arms in triumph.
In a back and forth fourth quarter during which the teams traded the lead five times, Boston went up 82-81 on Garnett's jumper from the top of the key with 1:26 to go, but Zaza Pachulia hit one of two free throws on the Hawks' next possession, tying it with 74 seconds left.
Bass then hit a short jumper in the lane and the Hawks' tied it again on Joe Johnson's jumper with 47 seconds to play.

Indians fall to the White Sox, ends Cleveland's homestand
Chicago 14 Chicago 12
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
With Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana watching at right, Chicago White Sox's A.J. Pierzynski (12) is congratulated by teammate Paul Konerko (14) after hitting a three-run home run in the sixth inning of a baseball game in Cleveland on Wednesday, April 11.
CLEVELAND — For four games, the Cleveland Indians had trouble hitting when it mattered.
On Wednesday, the offense had its most productive game of the young season, but the rest of the team faltered in a 10-6 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
The Indians ended their first homestand with a 1-4 record, which included a 16-inning loss on opening day and a defeat in 12 innings the following game. Cleveland, which had scored 14 runs and batted .153 in its first four games, begins a nine-game trip Friday in Kansas City.
"The homestand could have gone a little better, even when we struggled so bad offensively," manager Manny Acta said. "We put ourselves in a position to win a couple of games and things just didn't work out."
Although the Indians' poor play in spring training has carried over into the season, Acta thinks it's too early to consider personnel changes.
Jason Masterson, coming off a dominant outing against Toronto in the season opener, gave up four runs in the first. An error by third baseman Jack Hannahan made one of the runs unearned. A fifth-inning error by first baseman Casey Kotchman helped the White Sox score another unearned run.
“五 games is not going to make me panic about my bullpen, my offense, defense or anything like that,” Acta said. “We have to give it a little more time.”
The bullpen only added to the trouble. Relievers Dan Wheeler and Rafael Perez gave up home runs in the sixth to turn a 5-4 deficit into a six-run game.
"We swung the bats better, but we didn't pitch well enough or play good enough defense," Acta said.
If not for Chris Perez's ninthinning meltdown in the opener, Masterson would have been the winning pitcher. The Indians' best starter last season held Toronto to
one run in eight innings, and that came on Jose Bautista's home run
Masterson (0-1) ran into problems immediately against Chicago. After Alejandro De Aza started the game with a single, Hannahan's throw to first on Brent Morel's bunt was wide. A run-scoring single by Adam Dunn and an RBI double by Paul Konerko followed. Masterson's wild pitch added another run before A.J. Pierzynski hit a sacrifice fly.
Masterson then held Chicago scoreless until the fifth. Kotchman dropped shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera's throw on Moriel's grounder. Dunn singled and Konerko's RBI single added another unearned run.
"Masterson was a little inconsistent with his command, but he threw the ball well," Acta said. "We didn't play good defense behind him in the first inning that really hurt us."
"I did not totally know where the ball was going early on," he said. "I kind of settled down and worked through it."
Masterson was charged with five runs (three earned) and eight hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked one.
Thanks to Travis Hafner, the Indians managed to get back in the game. He hit a solo homer in the
Wheeler gave up a two-run homer to De Aza before Perez allowed A.J. Pierzynyski's three-run blast.
Cabrera reached in the first when his routine pop to right-center fell safely among three fielders for a double, then scored on a wild pitch. Hafner hit a 433-foot solo homer into the right-field second deck in the fourth, his first home run of the season.
fourth and followed with a two-run double in the fifth, but any idea of a comeback win ended in the top of the sixth.
John Danks (1-1) gave up four runs, seven hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings.
Shelley Duncan hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
"I needed every one of those runs," he said. "It felt great to get them, especially against Masterson because he's one of the best."
NOTES: leannar Gomez, the Indians' fifth starter who was skipped over in the rotation when Tuesday night's game was postponed, made his season debut by pitching two perfect innings of relief, striking out three. He's scheduled to start Saturday. ... Kotchman committed only his 12th error in 730 games at first base. ... Cleveland has eight homers by seven players in five games. ... The Indians' trip includes stops at Seattle and Oakland.

Oakland produces third game-winning hit
A's
Oakland Athletics' Yoenis Cespedes steals third base against the Kansas City Royals during the second inning of a baseball game on Wednesday, April 11, in Oakland, Calif. Cespedes scored after the stolen base on a throwing error by Royals catcher Brayan Pena.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Jonathan Broxton hit Jonny Gomes on the first pitch he threw with the bases loaded in the 12th inning, forcing Jamile Weeks home for the winning run in the Oakland Athletics' 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Moments earlier, Broxton (0-1) plunked new As cleanup hitter Yoenis Cespedes on the first pitch to load the bases and the closer received a mound visit from pitching coach Dave Eiland.
It marked the third time the As won on a game-ending hit by pitch in Oakland history and first since Olmedo Saenz on July 20, 2002, against Texas.
Coco Crisp's RBI groundout earlier in the 12th tied it at 4 after Billy Butler doubled home the go-ahead run in top half of the inning against Andrew Carignan (1-1).
A day after rain shortened the Royals' 3-0 win following seven-plus innings, fans got their share of baseball in the finale.
Kansas City heads home for the first time since the start of spring training in mid-February at 3-3, but without the same momentum it would have had with a second winning road series after taking two of three at Los Angeles.
Oakland closer Grant Balfour pitched a scoreless ninth and 10th. He allowed Alcides Escobar's leadoff single in the 10th and a two-out walk to Jeff Francoeur on
four pitches before striking out Mike Moustakas.
The AS now head out for their first real road trip — a sevengamer — considering the two matchups with the Mariners in Tokyo two weeks ago counted as Oakland home games.
Kansas City's Alex Gordon hit a tying home run off Brian Fuentes in the seventh.
Jose Mijares hit Josh Reddick with a breaking ball in the right shoulder area leading off the
eighth, but the ball appeared to ricochet into Reddick's helmet and he went down for a couple of minutes before leaving the game. Coco Crisp came in to run and Greg Holland relieved Mijares, but the A's couldn't capitalize.
Gomes hit a two-run homer in the fourth to put the A's ahead and starter Brandon McCarthy in position for his first victory of the season before Fuentes gave it up.
Cespedes doubled, swiped third for his first steal and scored on
catcher Brayan Pena's throwing error to make it 1-0 Oakland in the second. Pena threw wildly into left field trying to get Cespedes at third on his steal.
Cespedes hit his first career single in the 11th after his initial five hits went for extra bases. The Cuban rookie wrapped up his first homeand 4 for 16 with two home runs and eight strikeouts.
Gordon also singled in a run in the third for the Royals, who squandered a chance when they
left the bases loaded in the fifth.
McCarthy allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. Oakland's opening-day starter also struck out four and walked two in his third appearance in the team's first seven games.
The lanky right-hander retired his first seven batters and looked more in sync than he did in going only five innings his last time out, a 7-3 loss to Seattle in the A's home opener last Friday.
Mitch Maier started in center
need for the Royals as manager Ned Yost had planned. Maier entered Tuesday's game as an injury replacement for Lorenzo Cain, who left with a strained left groin following a double play in the second.

Granger puts up 23 points to maintain No.3 position
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Pacers, clinging to the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference, outscored the Cavs 10-4 in OT.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Granger scored 23 points, five in overtime, and George Hill made a dagger 3-pointer in the extra session, lifting the Indiana Pacers to a 104-98 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Antawan Jamison scored 21 and Lester Hudson 19 for the Cavs, a league-worst 0-5 in overtime games. The Cavs were just 2 of 9 in the extra five minutes.
David West added 19 points. Hill had 17 and Roy Hibbert finished with 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks for Indiana, 6-1 in its last seven.
The Pacers should have put the Cavs away in regulation but Hill, starting in place of the injured Darren Collison, missed three free throws in the last 21 seconds.
West opened overtime with a bucket for the Pacers, who went without a field goal for a 6:41 stretch of the fourth that allowed the Cavs to overcome a 10-point deficit and open a seven-point lead.
Granger then nailed a 3-pointer, and after Hudson scored for Cleveland, Indiana's leading scorer
made an 18-foot jumper to put the Pacers ahead 101-96. After Jamison misfired, Hill put the Cavs away with his 3, making it 104-96 with 53 seconds left.
It was some vindication for Hill, whose three missed free throws gave the Cavs late life and they tied it when Hudson, the D-League castoff who came in averaging 24.7 points in his past three games, dropped a sweet floater in the lane over West with 1.2 seconds to go.
The Pacers had one last chance in regulation, and Hibbert nearly made an impossible shot, arching an attempt from behind the backboard that bounced off the front of the rim.
Indiana improved to 17-14 on the road, the club's first winning record outside Indiana in eight years.
With the loss, the Cavs were officially eliminated from the playoffs.
Cleveland played its fifth straight game without rookie Kyrie Irving, who has a sprained right shoulder.
The Cavs were down 78-68 after Dahntay Jones dropped a 3-pointer for Indiana.
wing. Hudson scored six points during the improbable run, which the Pacers helped by making four turnovers and missing four shots.
But Hudson heated up and the Cavs responded with an 18-1 run, taking an 86-79 lead on Omri Casspi's 3-pointer from the left
Indiana ended up going nearly seven minutes between field goals, with Hill's 3-pointer with 4:19 pulling the Pacers within 88-85.
Hill then converted on two drives and after Hibbert dunked, the Pacers appeared on their way to a win, leading 93-89 with 30 seconds left.
Hill, though, failed to put the game away at the line and the Pacers had to work an extra five minutes to hold onto their playoff seed.
The Pacers began the third quarter looking to include Hibbert in their offense. The 7-foot-2 center, who scored just two points but had four assists in the first half, scored four quick ones as Indiana opened the third with an 11-2 spurt capped by Granger's three-point play to lead 57-48.
The Cavs didn't fold and closed within 59-58 after Jamison scored six points in a row. Granger and Leandro Barbosa then dropped 3-pointers in an 11-4 run and Barbosa added another 3 as the Pacers took a 73-66 lead in the fourth.

Flyers make overtime run beat Penguins in quarterfinals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jakub Voracek beat Marc-Andre Fleury from in close 2:23 into overtime to give the Philadelphia Flyers a 4-3 comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
Fleury stopped Matt Read's shot from the corner, but Voracek pounced on the rebound to cap a furious rally from a 3-0 deficit. Daniel Briere scored twice, and Brayden Schenn added a goal in his playoff debut. Ilya Brzygalov settled down after a shaky start to finish with 25 saves.
Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis scored for the Penguins, and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 22 shots, but Pittsburgh struggled after dominating the first period.
Game 2 is Friday night in Pittsburgh.
The rivals delivered on their promise to play "whistle-to-whistle" and leave out the rough stuff that highlighted their six regular-season meetings. The game featured only a handful of penalties and little of the typical animosity.
Crosby missed the playoffs last season while dealing with
concussion-like symptoms and the memory of watching from the rafters as the Penguins lost to Tampa Bay in seven games remains fresh.
The former MVP wasted little time making up for lost time. He gave Pittsburgh the lead on his second shift, shaking off a hit Philadelphia defenseman Braydon Coburn in the corner then bouncing to his feet and flipping a rebound over Bryzgalov's glove 3:43 into the first period.
Kennedy made it 2-0 just over 4 minutes later, his wrist shot from the left circle beating Bryzgalov over his stick.

Jayhawks fall in spite of an error-free game
The Wichita State Shockers defeated Kansas 10-2 in Wednesday's matchun
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
WICHITA — The scoreboard didn't read the way Kansas players wanted it to. The Wichita State Shockers ran the Jayhawks off the field 10-2 last night after delivering a heartbreaking loss to the Jayhawks in 16-innings Tuesday night.
One part of the scoreboard the Jayhawks could take pride in was the zero to the right of the nine hits they recorded. For just the second time in seven games, the Jayhawks did not commit an error.
"The defense has been the strength of our club," coach Ritch Price said. "In order for us to be good, we have to play really good defense because we're not as good offensively as we've been."
The Shockers loaded the bases in the third inning with
no outs and were leading 3-0
when red-shirt junior outfielder Micah Green hit a fly ball out to freshman Connor McKay in right field.
McKay caught the ball with his momentum
10
going toward home plate. He threw a perfect strike to senior catcher James Stanfield to tag out the runner at home. For the moment, the play kept Kansas in the game.
"The ball was there and I had the opportunity to make the play," McKay said. "We practice that play enough in the outfield, so it was just like practice."
The assist was McKay's fourth assist from the outfield this season, a team-high.
base stealers from behind the plate. He also threw out another runner trying to go to second after a play at the plate. His key throws kept the Jayhawks in the game until the Shockers blew the game open in the seventh inning.
Stanfield threw out one of two
Stanfield came to Kansas as a middle infielder until Price moved him behind the plate his sophomore year. Stanfield took the position change and has made his presence felt behind the plate.
"We have to play really good defense because we're not as good offensively as we've been."
"I'm really proud of his development," Price said. "He's the best catch and throw guy in our conference, and I'm really pleased with his progress."
With a depleted bullpen, Kansas had to use some of its inexperienced pitchers to get through the game. Price told his pitches he wanted them to pitch to contact and then he told ****

defense they needed to be on their toes and ready to play.
Last week.
Kansas was
ranked 10th
in the country in fielding percentage.
In just one
week's time, they've plummeted nine spots to 19th in the nation. Before Wednesday's loss, Kansas had committed eight errors in its last five games.
"I think we're ready to get over this," Elgie said of the errors. "We're ready to focus on the weekend and playing Texas A&M."
Third baseman Zac Elegie led the infield's strong defensive performance,charging in three times on softly hit balls and throwing on the run to first base.

Infeilder Kevin Kuntz bats in an earlier game this season.
As Kansas struggles offensively, the team relies on its defense to create momentum for the offense.
"Any time you make a good defensive play," Elgie said, "throwing out a guy at home, turning a double play or making a good play to get out of the inning, I think to get that momentum on your side is a big key."
The game wasn't pretty, but it was clean, and that's something for the Jayhawks to build off of.

Yankees win in extra-innings against Orioles BALTIMORE — Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in the 10th, and the New York Yankees beat Baltimore 6-4 Wednesday night for their second straight extra-inning win and a three-game sweep of the Orioles.
Curtis Granderson homered and drove in three runs for the Yankees, who won consecutive extra-inning road games for the first time since July 16-17, 2001, at Philadelphia, according to STATS LLC.
With two outs in the 10th, Mark Teixeira hit an opposite-field pop off Kevin Gregg (0-1) that landed just inside the left-field line and between third baseman Mark Reynolds and left fielder Nolan Reimold.

After getting swept at Tampa Bay and starting 0-3 for the first time since 1998, the Yankees are back to .500 heading into their home opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
NBA
Los Angeles tops Oklahoma City in 100-98 win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Chris Paul scored 31 points, including the game-winning shot on a layup with 8.8 seconds left, lifting the Los Angeles Clippers to a 100-98 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder that kept them in position for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Paul got past Thunder defensive specialist Thabo Sefolosha and squeezed the ball onto the rim past the league's leading shot blocker, Serge Ibaka, to put L.A. ahead.
Kevin Durant missed a 3-pointer that could have won
it, hitting the back rim on a shot over Clippers center DeAndre Jordan from the left wing.
Durant led Oklahoma City with 22 points and Russell Westbrook scored 20 on 3-for-14 shooting. The West-leading Thunder have lost four of their last six games.
Blake Griffin added 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Los Angeles.
The Clippers needed the win to hang on to fourth place in the Western Conference standings. Fifth-place Memphis came into the night a half-game behind L.A. and beat Phoenix.
Paul came up big in the fourth quarter, as he has all season. He
scored 11 points in the final period as the Clippers pulled ahead after trailing most of the way. He hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer and a floater along the lane to give L.A. a five-point lead and then the 6-foot point guard restored that edge by tipping in his own miss a few trips later.
After Durant's 3-pointer tied it at 98 with 32 seconds left, Paul drained the shot clock before coming up with the decisive basket — the ball rattling around the rim before falling through.
The first two meetings of the season were nothing alike.
The Clippers won easily on their home court at the end of January, getting one of the
season's most memorable dunks from Griffin over Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins and a flurry of 13 3-pointers.
The Thunder responded last month, with Perkins setting the tone by hitting Griffin in the face on a first-quarter foul. Griffin ended up with a career-low seven points and didn't have a single dunk in a blowout loss.
Griffin provided some highlight material in this one, most notably a right-handed slam over Ibaka midway through the third quarter, and he flirted with a triple-double before failing to register an assist in the fourth quarter.
But that's when Paul, playing
on the court where he once starred with the relocated New Orleans Hornets, was at his best.

His right-handed runner tied it at 80 before he came out for a brief rest, and Randy Foye's 3-pointer from the right side with 8:35 remaining put L.A. ahead for the first time since it was 6-5 in the opening 4 minutes.
Los Angeles won for the ninth time in its last 11 games all without top reserve Mo Williams, who is out with a sprained left big toe.
Eric Bledsoe's layup finished off a 15-4 run and bumped it to 87-84, and Oklahoma City could never regain control.

Oklahoma City fell two games behind idle Chicago for the best record in the NBA.
The Thunder started out 6-for10 from 3-point range and built a 39-28 lead after Derek Fisher's make from the right side with 7:21 before halftime, but then missed 3s on three straight possessions as Los Angeles scored six points in a row to get back in it.
The Clippers got within two late in the first half before Oklahoma City reeled off eight straight points and finished the half with a 55-48 edge.

THE MORNING BREW NCAA violations not worth the hassle
By Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
T
There are lines which the sports sector operates within. These lines are vital to the efficient machine which produces nightly entertainment starting with the games to press conferences and everything in between. These parameters are put in place to protect the athletes and coaches. The parameters are more important as athletes come into the spotlight at younger ages.
One of the constant struggles revolves around how to update these lines to make them appropriate and effective to current trends and technology. Athletic administrators deal with a slew of tweets and quotes complaining about starting time to rants shutting down the haters.
But now, the focus is shifting to how administrators control these athletes before they even step on campus. There are a variety of different rules regarding contact with athletes during recruiting periods that now attempt to regulate communication during high school.
The tech-savvy world we live in, texts and emails or even tweets have replaced
Recruiting a high school athlete is controlled by season, the athlete's age, and content of messages but there is some flaw in the process. Coaches know these rules which have been largely publicized in recent investigations, but it seems there is always someone new who is being nailed to these charges.
phone calls and letters as accepted communication in professional settings, but are presenting problems for administrators trying to make specific rules to control the style of communication.
A story broke on Monday about recruiting violations at Baylor from football and its men's and women's
basketball programs. Supposedly these impermissible phone calls and text messages occurred within a 29-month span and surrounded several athletes including National Player of the Year Brittney Griner.
As a sports fan I think it is tragic that the environment is full of recruiting violations across the board. The basketball season started with Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun suspended for three games and it ends with the women's national championship team losing recruiting privileges for the summer.
This is becoming a trend in sports investigation. And though recruiting infractions are less harmful than doping scandals in baseball, they are just as nonsensical. The focus is lost because it has pulled away from care for the high school athletes.
In baseball if you have a great hitter the underlying questions are still "Is he doping? When will he get caught?" Now, if the NCAA is not able to effectively control this problem, questions will start to trend regarding top recruits and whether their path to which school
KU
There is no easy way to fix this problem with the constantly changing technology, but it is necessary for schools to return to the rules. Lines are set and they are just not being obeyed. If a text shouldn't be sent, don't do it. If a call shouldn't be made, don't do it.
they choose is tainted in some way.
The high school athletes being recruited are chasing their dreams, and frankly deserve better than constant questioning on the legitimacy of their offers.
It may be naive, but I respect the lines and believe they are there for a purpose. Clearly coaches are not always getting away with their little moves to get ahead and nab their top recruits, so as simple and cliché as it sounds it is better to be play by the rules.

COMMENTARY Baseball needs new direction

Kansas takes down the
Wichita State Shockers
PAGE 6
Well Kansas fans,the college baseball season has been bleak to this point. What you're about to read may disturb you.
Nine Big 12 schools field baseball teams. Out of those nine teams, eight of them have won more than 50 percent of their overall games, and the Kansas Jayhawks are the only team that hasn't.
The college basketball season is over, whether we like it or not. The spring recruiting
not. The spring recruiting period is underway, but the Kansas basketball recruiting class is almost set for next season.
In regards to pitching, the statistics aren't much better. In the Big 12, the Jayhawks are sixth in earned run average and batting average, fifth in hits allowed and runs allowed, and eighth in walks strikeouts.
a plethora of statistics show why the Jayhawks have been playing dismal baseball thus far.
The change in season means it's time to focus our attention on baseball.
Kansas baseball is a tough sell for high school recruits who are searching for a program that can prepare them for the major leagues.
Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger is serious about revamping the Kansas football program because it's a cash cow, but if the baseball team's struggles continue, he should make an effort to revitalize the program.
Edited by Jeff Karr
As long as the Texas and Oklahoma schools are in the Big 12 conference, Kansas probably won't find themselves atop the Big 12 standings, but they shouldn't find themselves last in the conference either.
Why are Kansas schools such as Wichita State and Kansas State winning more games than Kansas?
Price significantly changed the baseball program's fortunes during his tenure, but is it time for a new direction?
I understand that Kansas baseball doesn't possess a winning pedigree like Wichita State — a school that has advanced to the College World Series seven times and won the NCAA Championship in 1989 — and that baseball is a non-revenue college sport, but Kansas baseball isn't meeting my expectations.
Despite the Jayhawks' recent woes, they accomplished quite a bit during Ritch Price's time as coach, winning a conference championship, clinching a spot in the NCAA Tournament twice and winning 30-plus games in seven of nine seasons. The Jayhawks' two trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2006 and 2009 doubled the number of appearances they made at the tournament in the 100 years before Price's arrival.
My expectations for Kansas baseball this season weren't lofty — middle of the Big 12 standings would be adequate — but I didn't expect them to be last in the standings. Last season, the Jayhawks finished last in the Big 12, winning only 50 percent of their conference games. They finished four games below .500 overall (26-30).
WICHITA STATE 10, KANSAS 2
INEXPERIENCE SHOWS
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
WICHITA — Coming off a 16-inning letdown Tuesday against Wichita State, a depleted Kansas pitching staff fell again to the Shockers on Wednesday.
It took the regular nine innings this time, but Wichita State's 10-2 victory handed Kansas its sixthstraight loss. Wichita State completed a season sweep of Kansas for the first time since 2008, dropping Kansas' record to 12-21.
Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick was scheduled to start Wednesday night, but he stayed in Lawrence with flu-like symptoms. Coach Ritch Price did not get word on Morovick's condition until this morning, so the late change in Kansas' projected starter gave junior pitcher Jordan Luvisi his first start as a Jayhawk. With six pitchers used in Tuesday's 16-inning game, Price planned to give his young pitching staff a lot of work Wednesday night.
"We basically didn't have a lot of options," Price said. "After using everybody last night, we thought we would start Jordan to matchup with their left-handers at the start of the game. We tried to send the guys out with the most experience."
Luvisi went two innings and allowed three runs on two hits. Luvisi transferred to Kansas from Pepperdine and has struggled in his short time as Jayhawk. One major difference for Luvisi is the large crowds that they must play in front of. The attendance at Eck Stadium was 4,002, which is considerably more than what Luvisi saw at Pepperdine.
"Coming from Pepperdine we didn't play in big venues like this, so the nerves were a little bit more than usual." Luvisi said, "Just having the experience of pitching in college games helped."
Wichita State scored at least one run in the each of the first four innings, and Luvisi ran into trouble in the first inning. After a Johnny Coy RBI ground-out scored the game's first run, Wichita State's Casey Gillaspie
Out of the five pitchers Kansas used in Wednesday's game, only Colin Toalsain had pitched more than five innings pitched this season with 9.1 innings pitched. The five pitchers combined for just 15.3 innings pitched heading into the ballgame, and freshman pitcher Taylor Rappaport made his first appearance of the season.
Redshirt freshman pitcher Jaydee Jurgensen was the only KU pitcher to hold Wichita State scoreless. The Shockers scored in every inning besides Jurgensen's perfect fifth and sixth innings. Jurgensen has battled arm injuries for two seasons, and despite losing nearly 10 mph off his original fastball velocity — topping off at 80 mph — he found a way to neutralize the Wichita State offense.
took Luvizi deep for a solo home run over the left-field wall.
"It was really just a matter of going out there and trusting my stuff." Jurgensen said. "Even though I've had arm problems, I still have a chance to help the team and be ready whenever there's the opportunity."
Before tonight's game, Jurgensen faced one batter and hit him with the pitch. Price was pleased to see Jurgensen respond to the challenge amid his lengthy arm recovery.

"We've altered his delivery because his velocity has been way down since it was in high school, but I have great admiration for how hard he's worked," Price said. "He's really tried to make the necessary adjustments to be effective at this level."
"I'm hoping we'll take a step forward and relish this opportunity." Price said.
The Jayhawks face a huge challenge this weekend as Baseball America's No. 2-ranked Texas A&M visits Hoglund Ballpark on Friday. Kansas will hand the ball over to sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan in hopes to end the losing streak.

Weis adjusts line up during spring practices
KANSAS 81
IOWA STATE 31
Wide receiver Marquis Jackson evades a tackle in a game last season. After having a chance to watch his team, coach Charlie Weis is making some changes to his line-up during spring practices.
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
After two weeks of spring practice, football coach Charlie Weis has had a chance to look at the team and has mixed feelings about what he has seen. He beamed about quarterback Dayne Crist during yesterday's press conference, but noted lingering questions about depth at positions across the board. This is a time for adjustment in the university sports scene, and his football team, which is preparing for its first season under a new coach, is no exception.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The team is also adjusting after losing leading rusher James Sims, who has been suspended for the first three games of the season following a DUI arrest. But Weis will keep him productive while he is gone.
"We going to have the best show team running back in the country," Weis said of Sims' new role of preparing Kansas' defense for opponents in scrimimage. "The only way to not get rusty is to go over there and run show team."
One way Weis is adjusting is by
At the running back position, the Jayhawks have sophomore Brandon Bourbon, sophomore Tony Pierson and Sims. That leaves a deep roster at wide receiver with six options for Kansas.
Weis said the Jayhawks would focus on getting Pierson more touches this season, but there is a challenge because he and running back coach Reggie Mitchell have to discover a balance to keep him productive, but fresh and injury free for the 13 game season.
"You are in a catch-22 now, because every time he touches the ball, he has the chance to score a touchdown." Weis said.
That is where the other ball-carriers will support Pierson and keep the offense moving forward.

4.23
That depth and versatility gives the coaches the ability to keep adjusting throughout the season to keep the ball with the hot hand.
They can tap their helmet when they want to go out, but I will wave them back in," Weis said. "You can get a break after you score."
Currently, training is a balance between weight-lifting for maintenance and conditioning. After

practice, Weis plans gassers, which is an attempt to increase the team's stamina.
"You can't play this game without having stamina," Weis said. "That is true on both sides of the ball and special teams."
The focus will be on short-burst running and weight training to prepare the Jayhawks for a tough and physical Big 12 season.

Student's memory honored among Greeks
RACHEL SALYER
rsalver@kansan.com
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.
Toren Volkmann, a recovering alcoholic and author of "From Binge to Blackout," shared with the audience his own story of alcoholism and the idea that it can happen to anyone. He showed pictures of his own party experiences. Wren's name, and the names of the event sponsors, were displayed on a banner hanning behind him.
The event was open to everyone free of charge, but event chair and SAE member Austin Wagner said that, of the about 700 people in attendance, the majority were sorority members. In the past, SAE asked 20 percent of all members from University sororities and fraternities to attend. Wagner said SAE did not do so this year because of a miscommunication.
Volkmann, who started drinking at age 14, said he never would have expected himself to become an alcoholic.
"I was from a normal family with a decent recipe for a very good outcome," Volkmann said, "but once I put myself in the category and started exhibiting that behavior, I was just as likely to become an alcoholic as anyone."
Wren talked about having repeated blackouts even though he thought he was drinking socially. Eventually, those blackouts led to his alcohol dependency.
Angela Guist, a freshman from Ottawa, said she and her friends attended the event to support
Before dismissing the audience, Chapin McLane, SAE president, reminded those in attendance that the point of the conference was not to tell students to be sober, but to ask them to drink responsibly.
their sorority, Sigma Kappa, which donated to the event.
"I have unfortunately blacked out a few times, and it's not a good feeling when you have no idea what happened," Guist said. "People say it's a part of the experience, but listening to him makes you think of how dangerous it can be."
The initiative started in 2010 and continued after Wren's father, Jay Wren, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity.
Wagner said he hopes to see the organization's efforts continue.
"Even after we're all gone, the message will still need to be said," he said.

--ate the arrival of the semester's end. You know that last minute that you wait for to finish final projects and papers? It's almost here, and the tempting distractions that come with the season make them all the easier to put off. The warm, front-porch-beer-drinking weather, the growing number of social obligations that come in anticipation of graduation or summers away from Lawrence, and all the warm-weather activities we've waited all winter to enjoy again fill our spare time
{ From the Editor }

W we're heading right into the fast, downward spiral that seems to speed up time and accelerate-
and then some.
For some, the coming of spring has another exciting aspect fresh and local produce. As the flowers bloom and green grass emerging from the earth, asparagus carrots and certain greens are also growing in the Midwest. Allison Bond's feature story on page eight looks at the influence and implications of the local food economy in our community.
Stopping to smell the roses every now and again is always a wise move, and that no different in regards to the food we eat, and how they affect us and the rest of the world. This will be the last spring I'll enjoy as a undergraduate student so before I wake up one morning and it's graduation morning on May 13, I want to take a moment to reflect on my final days at KU and think about what I really hope to walk away with, other than my diploma.
So as summer builds up and the semester winds down, take a second to think. You never know what ideas might sprout up.

Spring has sprung! Tulips are blooming, trees are blossoming, birds are chirping girls are in their Tempo shorts, and the boys are dressed like Carlton Banks. It's time for spring sex positions. All positions with the exception of Sunday Brunch and Tulip in Bloom, can be modified for anal penetration.
Bee Sting
Receiver flexibility is required for this anal position. The easiest way to get into the position is to first achieve Reverse Cowgirl; the giver lies on his/her back while the receiver straddles the giver on his/her knees, facing away from the giver. Next, the receiver leans all the way back until he/she is resting on the receiver's chest, keeping both knees bent. This position allows for intimacy between partners as the giver's hands are free to caress and stimulate the receiver's body and genitals, and both partners are positioned close enough for deep kissing.
Sunday Brunch
The giver lies on his/her back on the bed with his/her head over the edge. The receiver straddles the givers head, facing away from the giver. The position of the giver's head allows full exploration of the receiver's genitals and anus. The receiver can also bend and extend his legs for deeper penetration or stroke his shaft while the giver focuses on his huevos rancheros.

Tulip in Bloom
View her tulip in all its glory. This version of cunningling has the receiver lie on her back, raise her lower back and legs overhead, and rest her feet or knees (depending on flexibility) on either side of her head. Her tulip is raised and exposed for her partner to enjoy. The giver kneels behind her, allowing her to rest her hips and/or buttocks against his/her chest for stability and comfort. The giver has the ability to stimulate both her vagina and anus, as well as the freedom to explore the rest of her body with his/her hands! Enjoy all the beauty of her warm, spring tulip!
In the Czech Republic, women are playfully spanked by the men on Easter Monday to keep their health and beauty for the coming year. Join in on this springtime tradition with the Polmâzka position. The giver sits on the edge of the bed and holds the receiver's legs around his/her torso, the receiver's buttocks facing up. The receiver places his/her hands securely on the floor with arms extended, holding his/her upper body off the floor. The receiver can rock back and forth as the giver uses his/her arms to assist the movement. The receiver's buttocks is positioned for a playful spanking.
The Bunny Hop
Bounce your way to orgasm! The giver lies on his/her back while the receiver, facing the giver, straddles him. The receiver places his/her feet firmly on the bed, knees bent, with both arms and hands securely grasping giver's forearms. The receiver uses his/her legs to "bounce up and down, the giver assisting by securely holding the receiver's forearms with his/her hands. Hippity hoppity! Orgasm is on its way.
Price significantly changed the baseball program's fortunes during his tenure, but is it time for a new direction?
KANSAS 81
IOWA STATE 31
As long as the Texas and Oklahoma schools are in the Big 12 conference, Kansas probably won't find themselves atop the Big 12 standings, but they shouldn't find themselves last in the conference either.
Kansas baseball is a tough sell for high school recruits who are searching for a program that can prepare them for the major leagues.
Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger is serious about revamping the Kansas football program because it's a cash cow, but if the baseball team's struggles continue, he should make an effort to revitalize the program.

After two weeks of spring practice, football coach Charlie Weis has had a chance to look at the team and has mixed feelings about what he has seen. He beamed about quarterback Dayne Crist during yesterday's press conference, but noted lingering questions about depth at positions across the board. This is a time for adjustment in the university sports scene, and his football team, which is preparing for its first season under a new coach, is no exception.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The team is also adjusting after losing leading rusher James Sims, who has been suspended for the first three games of the season following a DUI arrest. But Weis will keep him productive while he is gone.
"We going to have the best show team running back in the country," Weis said of Sims' new role of preparing Kansai defense for opponents in scrimmage. "The only way to not get rusty is to go over there and run show队."
One way Weis is adjusting is by
At the running back position, the Jayhawks have sophomore Brandon Bourbon, sophomore Tony Plerson and Sims. That leaves a deep roster at wide receiver with six options for Kansas.
moving sophomore wide receiver Marquis Jackson over to running back during spring practice. Jackson adds size and a physical element to the position that Weis has not seen from other players.
Weis said the Jayhawks would focus on getting Pierson more touches this season, but there is a challenge because he and running back coach Reggie Mitchell have to discover a balance to keep him productive, but fresh and injury free for the 13 game season.
"You are in a catch-22 now, because every time he touches the ball, he has the chance to score a touchdown." Weis said.
That is where the other ball-carriers will support Pierson and keep the offense moving forward.
That depth and versatility gives the coaches the ability to keep adjusting throughout the season to keep the ball with the hot hand.
They can tap their helmet when they want to go out, but I will wave them back in," Weis said. "You can get a break after you score."
"I don't care how tired they get.
Currently, training is a balance between weight-lifting for maintenance and conditioning. After
practice, Weis plans gassers, which is an attempt to increase the team's stamina.
"You can't play this game without having stamina," Weis said. "That is true on both sides of the ball and special teams."
The focus will be on short-burst running and weight training to prepare the Jayhawks for a tough and physical Big 12 season.

Couples Advice: MYRON LIU AND CHELSEA LINDEN
THE RIGHT THINGS MAY BE TASTE
Chelsea Linden and Myron Liu never had that awkward phase in their relationship. They started out as friends, bonding over "Dexter" and puppies, and then began dating last spring break. Chelsea, a senior from Seneca, knew that she really liked Myron when she went home for a couple of days over break. "I told my mom about the situation with Myron, which is something I never do. That's how I knew this was serious," Chelsea says.
Last break, Chelsea and Myron spent every day together. "There was something there. Neither of us took it very serious at first. We needed that week to try it out and see how it would work," Myron says.
It obviously worked out well, because Myron and Chelsea have been dating for about a year.
Dating Tip It's important to take time to get away from the distractions of everyday life to spend quality time together.
One time each month Myron and Chelsea spend time together is on the 26th, because the date they started dating was last March 26.
Something that has really helped them afford to go on these outings is Groupon, which offers coupons and discounts for different places, including hotels and restaurants. "Groupon really started this relationship." Myron jokes. Myron and Chelsea enjoy renting hotel rooms so that they can just go cook dinner alone and spend the night away from everyone and everything. "We always love to make dinner together but we hate that we have to be at the house with our other roommates while we do this and eat on the couch," Chelsea says. "Doing things out of the ordinary is a good time to reconnect. When you get stuck in the weekly rut, it's nice to step out of that and hang out and do something fun."

The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
Toren Volkmann, a recovering alcoholic and author of "From Binge to Blackout," shared with the audience his own story of alcoholism and the idea that it can happen to anyone. He showed pictures of his own party experiences. Wren's name, and the names of the event sponsors, were displayed on a banner hanning behind him.
The event was open to everyone free of charge, but event chair and SAE member Austin Wagner said that, of the about 700 people in attendance, the majority were sorority members. In the past, SAE asked 20 percent of all members from University sororities and fraternities to attend. Wagner said SAE did not do so this year because of a miscommunication.
Volkmann, who started drinking at age 14, said he never would have expected himself to become an alcoholic.
"I was from a normal family with a decent recipe for a very good outcome," Volkmann said, "but once I put myself in the category and started exhibiting that behavior, I was just as likely to become an alcoholic as anyone."
Before dismissing the audience, Chapin McLane, SAE president, reminded those in attendance that the point of the conference was not to tell students to be sober, but to ask them to drink responsibly.

"I have unfortunately blacked out a few times, and it's not a good feeling when you have no idea what happened," Guist said. "People say it's a part of the experience, but listening to him makes you think of how dangerous it can be."
The initiative started in 2010 and continued after Wren's father, Jay Wren, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity.
"Even after we're all gone, the message will still need to be said," he said.
Wagner said he hopes to see the organization's efforts continue.

My favorites at the moment are Pachamama's and Esquina. Both have fantastic chefs, they use fresh, local ingredients and their recipes are very creative. That's a great combination.
WHAT IS THE PERFECT MEAL TO MAKE IF YOU
WANT TO IMPRESS SOMEONE?
I like to cook French food, and so I'd probably go that way. Something like a grilled leg of lamb.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN LAWRENCE?
My favorite meal is a grilled leg of lamb with a potato gratin, some fresh vegetables and lettuce out of my garden for a salad. And a glass of really good red wine.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?
I enjoy downtown Lawrence, I like to spend time in my community enjoying the fine food there. I enjoy events at the Arts Center. I like our Final Fridays in downtown Lawrence. We have so much to do right here locally.

A band performs at Pearson Rock-a-Thon last year.
For the Pearson Lawn Rock-a-Thon five bands will take to the grassy expanse in front of Pearson Scholarship Hall for an evening of free music and food on Saturday, April 14 from 5 to 11 p.m.
Who needs an arena when you can play on a lawn?
The event is in its 12th year and has became a tradition for Pearson residents although it has gone through some growing pains, says James Wilson, the social chair for the scholarship hall and a sophomore from Osage City. The evening of concerts used to be called "Bands in the Sand," complete with a faux beach, until the sand killed the grass.
Several of the bands feature current or past scholarship hall residents. Chicagobased rock band Verona Red includes 2009 graduate Adam Knoernschild, and the group Down With Gravity formed just to play at the rock-a-thon.
This year the line-up includes local bluesy garage rockers the Windup Birds and pop rocker Rachel Black, as well as Wood for Sheep.
Chris Carter, a sophomore from Lawrence and the band's drummer, was still in high school when two of his friends in the hall asked him to form Down With Gravity. They played their first show three years ago on the lawn of Pearson and have played every spring since. This year's rock-a-thon performance will be the last show they'll ever play together, since several members are graduating.
The experience is bittersweet for Carter, but he says he's happy to play to a crowd he's become familiar with over the years.
"They've seen us literally grow up as musicians and as students," Carter says.

Pulling up to a 65-acre farm, all I see is untamed grass everywhere. I think to myself, "This is a farm?" When I think of farms, I think acres and acres of one crop such as wheat, soybeans or corn. Or I think of hundreds of an animal, such as cows, pigs or sheep.
Sweetlove farm, owned by Phil Holman-Herbert in Jefferson County, is anything but my typical image of a farm. By the front of the house is a small chicken coop. In the back near the house stand a handful of Katahdin sheep and Dexter cows. All of Phil's animals are grass-fed, meaning a diet of only a mix of grasses, forbs and legumes nature provides in the pasture. Pasture farming, the healthier
option for animals, is not the norm anymore as bigger companies are resorting to feeding animals corn feed, which is not natural for animals to eat.
It wasn't until I took an environmental media class that I came to realize how important it is to know where our food comes from. With each experience of shopping for groceries, getting my hands dirty in the dirt and talking with local farmers, my knowledge of food in America grows. The more I learn, the more I realize the benefits local foods bring.
Within local markets, produce is usually sold within 24 hours after harvest, retaining its peak freshness, ripeness and nutritional value, says Harvard's University Center for Health and the Global Environment. Barbara Clark, owner of Maggie's Farm located just north of Lawrence, says the benefits of eating local
food are numerous, including freshness, flavor and the nutritional quality of foods consumed close to the source. I don't think anything can compare to the fresh taste of produce picked right from the ground, as I got to experience this spring break when I visited Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Ark. Looking forward to fresh salad greens everyday for a tasty mixed salad was the highlight of lunch.
Abby Olcese, a 2010 KU graduate who also is involved in Environs, a KU student environmental group, found that the more she got involved with environmental issues, the more she learned that local food is part of a bigger picture. "Not only is eating local food good for you" Olcese says, "it is good for the economy by supporting local businesses, and it's good for the environment because the food doesn't travel as far."

winning a conference championship, clinching a spot in the NCAA Tournament twice and winning 30-plus games in seven of nine seasons. The Jayhawks' two trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2006 and 2009 doubled the number of appearances they made at the tournament in the 100 years before Price's arrival.
Price significantly changed the baseball program's fortunes during his tenure, but is it time for a new direction?
Kansas baseball is a tough sell for high school recruits who are searching for a program that can prepare them for the major leagues.
As long as the Texas and Oklahoma schools are in the Big 12 conference, Kansas probably won't find themselves atop the Big 12 standings, but they shouldn't find themselves last in the conference either.

After two weeks of spring practice, football coach Charlie Weis has had a chance to look at the team and has mixed feelings about what he has seen. He beamed about quarterback Dayne Crist during yesterday's press conference, but noted lingering questions about depth at positions across the board. This is a time for adjustment in the university sports scene, and his football team, which is preparing for its first season under a new coach, is no exception.

The team is also adjusting after losing leading rusher James Sims, who has been suspended for the first three games of the season following a DUI arrest. But Weis will keep him productive while he is gone.
"We going to have the best show team running back in the country," Weis said of Sims' new role of preparing Kansas' defense for opponents in scrimmage. "The only way to not get rusty is to go over there and run show team."
moving sophomore wide receiver Marquis Jackson over to running back during spring practice. Jackson adds size and a physical element to the position that Weis has not seen from other players.
At the running back position, the Jayhawks have sophomore Brandon Bourbon, sophomore Tony Pierson and Sims. That leaves a deep roster at wide receiver with six options for Kansas.
One way Weis is adjusting is by
Weis said the Jayhawks would focus on getting Pierson more touches this season, but there is a challenge because he and running back coach Reggie Mitchell have to discover a balance to keep him productive, but fresh and injury free for the 13 game season.
"You are in a catch-22 now, because every time he touches the ball, he has the chance to score a touchdown." Weis said.
That is where the other ball-carriers will support Pierson and keep the offense moving forward.
That depth and versatility gives the coaches the ability to keep adjusting throughout the season to keep the ball with the hot hand.
They can tap their helmet when they want to go out, but I will wave them back in," Weis said. "You can get a break after you score."

--ing to Sustainable Table, an organization that works to educate people about food-related issues. Buying local foods instead of organic can help decrease your carbon footprint. According to Sustainable Table, food from the farm to your table has traveled an average of 1,500 miles. The farther food travels the more nutrition is lost in the food, as well as adding carbon dioxide emissions to the air from a 17 percent added petroleum use. Since the USDA took over setting the qualifications for what it means to be organic, the term organic is now watered down and doesn't mean what it used to mean because the qualifications are set so low. Holman-Herbet says. In the United States today, there are three different levels that qualify food as organic, meaning that produce doesn't have to be 100 percent organic to receive the USDA label.
WHAT IS MEANT BY LOCAL FOOD?
FOOD?
Turns out local farmers aren't so different from us: they love to eat good food too. At least that's the case with Holman-Herbet, owner of Sweetlove farm, who bought his farmland in 1999 to get the freshest and most delicious food from his own backyard. What started with chickens used for helping with the garden and feeding the family, the Holman-Herbert family slowly expanded to raising chickens, sheep and cows to sell. They sell their eggs and meat at the Farmer's Market and to Lawrence stores such as the 715 restaurant and the Merc. "The vast majority of local farmers around here are small farmers," Holman-Herbet says. "Growing food in the best possible way means that you have to do things on a small scale."
Maggie's Farm is also diversified, growing different fruits and vegetables as well as raising sheep. Maggie's Farm sells to the Merc, Genoveve, Wheatfields and Pachamamas. "It is gratifying that I can feed people." Clark says
Olcese, the KU Environs member, says the best part about eating local food is getting to know the people who grew it, talking to farmers as she shops at the Farmer's Market. "I like eating local food because I like being in touch with people who grew the food, who picked the food," Olcese says. "I really appreciate the effort that goes into it."
Both Holman-Herbet and Clark agree that freshness, flavor, and nutrition quality received from eating local food is unbeatable. There is also a trust developed between consumers and producers when eating local food, which translates into the food security of knowing where your food comes from, Clark says. She adds that local food can also help with food education. "It's imperative that the younger generation doesn't grow up thinking that you open a can with a can opener and think that is where your food comes from," Clark says.
LOCAL IS BETTER THAN ORGANIC
While organic foods generally mean foods produced without the use of herbicides and chemicals, what organic stands for today is not always the best option for the environment because of increased petroleum use, according to Sustainable Table, an organization that works to educate people about food-related issues. Buying local foods instead of organic can help decrease your carbon footprint. According to Sustainable Table, food from the farm to your table has traveled an average of 1,500 miles. The farther food travels the more nutrition is lost in the food, as well as adding carbon dioxide emissions to the air from a 17 percent added petroleum use. Since the USDA took over setting the qualifications for what it means to be organic, the term organic is now watered down and doesn't mean what it used to mean because the qualifications are set so low. Holman-Herbet says. In the United States today, there are three different levels that qualify food as organic, meaning that produce doesn't have to be 100 percent organic to receive the USDA label.
While the Sweetlove farm is not organic certified, Holman-Herbet goes above and beyond what an organic certification would require, particularly in his mission of soil growth on his pastures. Holman-Herbet practices pasture farming; he relies on his animals' stomachs to process the grass they eat to in-turn use their manure to create optimum conditions for topsoil growth. While this is a millennial process, only producing a couple of millimeters of topsoil a year, Holman-Herbet believes that we have a responsibility to do our part in keeping the environment healthy.
Whether organic certified or not, Clark believes that communities are more and more valuing a nationwide trend of eating more locally grown food. "Each community is going to have to be more self-reliant than it has been in the past. We are in this now for the long haul," Clark says.
EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
KU Campus and the city of Lawrence are finding ways to educate people about where their food comes from. KU Student Farm, which was set up as an environmental studies capstone class project in 2010, now works with students, faculty and staff to provide a space to learn how to grow your own food.
"We are all pretty disconnected from our food," says Kim Scherman, a senior from Eudora and president of KU Student Farm. "We don't know exactly where it's coming from or
how it's grown. The farm is all about education and being able to sustain yourself"
KU Environs, a campus student organization that seeks to promote environmental awareness throughout the KU campus and Lawrence, helps educate students on campus through hosting documentary viewing events and speakers. The Local Food group within Environs is also collaborating with dining areas on campus to help get local food to the residence dining halls.
Living in Lawrence, there are several ways to get more connected with food. Students have the option of getting involved in an organization which promotes sustainable living, such as KU Environs or KU Student Farm. Finding restaurants that buy food from surrounding farmers is another option. While some restaurants and stores sell more local food than others, some places in Lawrence where local food can be found include, The Merc, 715, Wheatfields, Iwig Dairy, Pachamas, Free State Brewery, Tellers and the Farmer's Market.
EATING ON A BUDGET
Eating local food can get expensive. According to a study conducted by the University of West Georgia, college students spend an average of $93 a month on food during the school year, 12 percent of their budget. Olcese offers her own tips on how to cut costs. Besides shopping at the farmers market and buying in bulk, Olcese says that she tries to shop smart by comparing prices at different stores. For example, Hildenbrand Farms Dairy, a dairy farm in Junction City, now sells its milk in Lawrence, which can be found at Hy-vee and Dillons, in glass containers for about $2.99. Customers buying Hildenbrand milk, pay a deposit on the glass bottle, but then get the deposit back when the glass bottle is returned. "Once you keep doing that you are actually paying less than if you were to buy regular carton milk," Olcese says.
Shopping comparatively for foods on sale at the Merc can also help save money. Olcese compared cereals from Dillons and the Merc and found that the cereal she liked was on sale at the Merc that week for cheaper. "It takes a little bit of extra time" Olcese says, "but it's totally worth it."
However, according to organic.org, there is no definitive research that proves organic food is more nutritious than conventional food. Organic.org does cite that researchers at the University of California have found that "organic tomatoes had higher levels of phytochemicals and vitamin C than conventional tomatoes." Either way, foods without the use of chemicals are believed to be better for the environment and body.
The term organic refers to foods grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. No antibiotics or growth hormones are used on animals, eggs and dairy products. According to the USDA National Organic Program, in order for a product to be organically certified a certifier inspects the farm to see if it is meaning USDA organic standards.

Student's memory honored among Greeks
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
Toren Volkmann, a recovering alcoholic and author of "From Binge to Blackout," shared with the audience his own story of alcoholism and the idea that it can happen to anyone. He showed pictures of his own party experiences. Wren's name, and the names of the event sponsors, were displayed on a banner hanning behind him.
The event was open to everyone free of charge, but event chair and SAE member Austin Wagner said that, of the about 700 people in attendance, the majority were sorority members. In the past, SAE asked 20 percent of all members from University sororities and fraternities to attend. Wagner said SAE did not do so this year because of a miscommunication.
Volkmann, who started drinking at age 14, said he never would have expected himself to become an alcoholic.
"I was from a normal family with a decent recipe for a very good outcome," Volkmann said, "but once I put myself in the category and started exhibiting that behavior, I was just as likely to become an alcoholic as anyone."
Angela Guist, a freshman from Ottawa, said she and her friends attended the event to support
Wren talked about having repeated blackouts even though he thought he was drinking socially. Eventually, those blackouts led to his alcohol dependency.
Before dismissing the audience, Chapin McLane, SAE president, reminded those in attendance that the point of the conference was not to tell students to be sober, but to ask them to drink responsibly.
"I have unfortunately blacked out a few times, and it's not a good feeling when you have no idea what happened," Guist said. "People say it's a part of the experience, but listening to him makes you think of how dangerous it can be."
The initiative started in 2010 and continued after Wren's father, Jay Wren, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity.
Wagner said he hopes to see the organization's efforts continue.
"Even after we're all gone, the message will still need to be said," he said.
THE FUTURE OF CHINA IS IN THE WAY WE THINK.

Desp woes,tl during

MARTIN PARKS
Jack races down the street on his leash, pulling his favorite human companion, Adrienne Mather, a sophomore from Olathe, along as they go on a run. Jack, a black Labrador mix, is excited about getting some exercise after spending his day in Mather's apartment while she was in class. Mather takes Jack running a lot, especially since the weather has been nice.
At first, Mather thought bringing Jack to Lawrence from her parent's house would become a hassle, but she says he's an easy dog. It doesn't take long to take him out in the morning and he adapts well to new surroundings. "The only bad thing is that he gets into the trash and drags it into my roommates room, but he gets into the trash at my parents house too," she says. Jack gives Mather a sense of protection living in the apartment.
"College students make good pet owners just like anyone else," says Dori Villalon, director of the Lawrence Humane Society. "There's a myth that the Lawrence Humane Society picks up pets that college students leave behind on the streets, but that's not true."
Villalon says college is a good time to have a pet. Some students have set schedules, making it easier to find time to care for pets, and an animal that usually roams the entire living space, such as a dog or cat, may enjoy an active house with a lot of roommates.
Students should consider these factors
before bringing a pet into the home, to make sure the pet fits their lifestyle. Villalon says it's hard to find landlords that allow pets, so that might restrict where pet-owners can live. Pets may limit travel opportunities during breaks. There are extra costs, such as pet food or veterinary bills, to owning a pet. Nakai Marr, a junior from Lawrence, owns seven pets: a Rottweiler, a cat, a California Kingsnake, two box turtles, and two tortoises. She spends up to $500 each month on all seven of her pets combined. "Money is the biggest shocker to any college student. If they live off their parents, then they need to realize the expenses of having a pet quick, if they want to get a pet," she says.
Matt Sanderson, a senior from Overland Park, owns a Doberman and a cat. The Doberman, Aiden, has a lot of energy. Sanderson says if Aiden doesn't get enough exercise, he turns into a nut job. "He needs at least one walk a day. Once he goes on a walk, he's chill," says Sanderson. Taking care of Aiden is the biggest challenge because Sanderson must balance it with school and work, his top priorities.
He lives in Overland Park half of the week and takes Aiden with him, but leaves his cat, Khloe, at his apartment in Lawrence because she doesn't need as much attention as the dog. His roommates don't have a problem helping out
to take care of Khloe when he's gone. Despite the stress he sometimes feels from being a pet owner and student, Sanderson enjoys the company of his pets. "Honestly, the cat is a stress release and I know it's cheesy, but a dog really is a man's best friend," he savs.
Sometimes students realize too late they aren't ready for the responsibility of being a pet owner. Emily Strom, a senior from Evanston, Ill., adopted Nala, a Labrador mix, from the Lawrence Humane Society at the beginning of the school year. Strom realized she didn't have the time to care for Nala, and wishes she waited to adopt a dog because of the expenses and time commitment they can require. Luckily, Strom was able to find a better situation for both her and Nala—living with her parents as the family dog.
If you miss having a pet while in college and need a pet fix, you can volunteer at a humane society. Kathy Maxwell, director of business affairs and adoption services at Helping Hands Humane Society in Topeka, says volunteering is a also good way to get to know different animals and figure out what kind of pet works for you. "If college students are wondering if their lifestyle can accommodate a pet, they should volunteer first," she says. If you don't have an hour a week to volunteer, then you won't have time to take care of a pet.

To Survive a Roadside Bomb

The burned truck.
Aubrey Rohlfing served as an E-4 Specialist in the Bravo Battery 1st of the 321 out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The following incident occurred in 2005 when he was stationed in Camp Speicher outside of Takrit, Iraq.
I was manning the gunner's station atop the armored truck, the cool desert night a welcome relief from the blistering Iraqi summer, when I allowed myself a false sense of security.
By my eight month of service, I had learned to relax in "safe" situations like these if I wanted to stay sane. Our truck was bringing up the rear on a routine convoy, just five minutes out of Camp Speicher, and I let myself slip. I started to nod off to the Radiobead playing on my iPod.
Then the truck in front of us braked hard, and we had no time to react when they swerved. A 135 mm artillery shell rested atop a landmine, detonating directly beneath us before I could make sense of what it was. The truck shook, ejecting the pin from my mounted gun and dropping the heavy weapon in my lap.
We were still going 40 mph when our team commander leapt from the truck. I looked at the driver in disbelief, neither of us revering the situation like our commander. Despite our brazen disregard, we obliged his frantic orders to abandon the still-moving vehicle.
Improvised explosive devices were a fact of life there, and we knew it was not "if", but "when." I high-fived the driver, knowing we now had the best LED story of our unit, but the moment was short lived as our commander screamed at us to hit the dirt. We remembered how snipers often tried to pick off survivors, and we did as we were told. I considered going back for my iPod, but saved my own life when I recalled the 1,500 rounds of ammo and 150 gallons of fuel in the back of the truck. The payload exploded just moments later, burning the truck well into the night.

Price significantly changed the baseball program's fortunes during his tenure, but is it time for a new direction?
As long as the Texas and Oklahoma schools are in the Big 12 conference, Kansas probably won't find themselves atop the Big 12 standings, but they shouldn't find themselves last in the conference either.

After two weeks of spring practice, football coach Charlie Weis has had a chance to look at the team and has mixed feelings about what he has seen. He beamed about quarterback Dayne Crist during yesterday's press conference, but noted lingering questions about depth at positions across the board. This is a time for adjustment in the university sports scene, and his football team, which is preparing for its first season under a new coach, is no exception.
The team is also adjusting after losing leading rusher James Sims, who has been suspended for the first three games of the season following a DUI arrest. But Weis will keep him productive while he is gone.
At the running back position, the Jayhawks have sophomore Brandon Bourbon, sophomore Tony Pierson and Sims. That leaves a deep roster at wide receiver with six options for Kansas.

"We going to have the best show team running back in the country;" Weis said of Sims' new role of preparing Kansas' defense for opponents in scrimmage. "The only way to not get rusty is to go over there and run show team."
Weis said the Jayhawks would focus on getting Pierson more touches this season, but there is a challenge because he and running back coach Reggie Mitchell have to discover a balance to keep him productive, but fresh and injury free for the 13 game season.
One way Weis is adjusting is by
"You are in a catch-22 now, because every time he touches the ball, he has the chance to score a touchdown," Weis said.

The focus will be on short-burst running and weight training to prepare the Jayhawks for a tough and physical Big 12 season.

Student's memory honored among Greeks
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
rsalyer@kansan.com
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.
Toren Volkmann, a recovering alcoholic and author of "From Binge to Blackout," shared with the audience his own story of alcoholism and the idea that it can happen to anyone. He showed pictures of his own party experiences. Wren's name, and the names of the event sponsors, were displayed on a banner hanning behind him.
The event was open to everyone free of charge, but event chair and SAE member Austin Wagner said that, of the about 700 people in attendance, the majority were sorority members. In the past, SAE asked 20 percent of all members from University sororites and fraternities to attend. Wagner said SAE did not do so this year because of a miscommunication.
Volkmann, who started drinking at age 14, said he never would have expected himself to become an alcoholic.
"I was from a normal family with a decent recipe for a very good outcome," Volkmann said, "but once I put myself in the category and started exhibiting that behavior, I was just as likely to become an alcoholic as anyone."
Before dismissing the audience, Chapin McLane, SAE president, reminded those in attendance that the point of the conference was not to tell students to be sober, but to ask them to drink responsibly.
Angela Guist, a freshman from Ottawa, said she and her friends attended the event to support
Wren talked about having repeated blackouts even though he thought he was drinking socially. Eventually, those blackouts led to his alcohol dependency.
their sorority, Sigma Kappa, which donated to the event.
"I have unfortunately blacked out a few times, and it's not a good feeling when you have no idea what happened," Guist said. "People say it's a part of the experience, but listening to him makes you think of how dangerous it can be."
The initiative started in 2010 and continued after Wren's father, Jay Wren, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity.
Wagner said he hopes to see the organization's efforts continue.
"Even after we're all gone, the message will still need to be said," he said.

A DAY AT THE SPA A relaxing way to have alone time, or bond with others
Ashley Butell, manager of Reiujene Salon and Sna-outs make up on a client
// RACHEL CHEON
We all have some kind of routine, such as getting car oil changed every three months, getting a hair cut every two months and taking a shower daily. For Abra Petrie, senior from Lenexa, one of her routines is getting a massage from massage therapist Susan Rickman. "I try to get them every 3 weeks. I wish I could go more often but that's really all I can afford,"Petrie says.
Petrie studies social welfare and says that in her classes, she learned that self-care prevents physical or mental collapse from stress and ultimately makes her a better social worker. To help manage her stress, she started to get massages, which is one of the most common spa treatments available and beneficial to students. Like Petrie, many other students go out to day spas to relax and get pampered.
ME TIME
Kirby McGovern-Crist, manager and cosmetologist from Sizzors Inc. Hair Salon & Spa, says most students come to get spa treatments alone like Petrie does, and that some of the most popular services among them include pedicures, facials
and massages. "Spa treatments not only help pamper themselves, but it's also a good stress relief." McGovern-Crist savs.
Jeremy McCarthy is the Director of Spa Operations, Development, and Marketing for Starwood Hotels and Resorts, which include Sheraton and Westin Hotel Spas. He says most people don't realize how powerfully a visit to a spa can relieve stress. Students who visit spas experience an act of self-compassion, learning how to relax and slow down. "In today's world, there are few places to go spend an hour in quiet reflection, separated from technology, while doing something good for ourselves," McCarthy says.
"THEM" TIME
Lily Mayer, senior from Olathe, and her boyfriend Philip Hudson, senior from New York City, went to visit a spa together to celebrate their anniversary. They got a couple's hot stone massage, which is when a couple goes into the massage room and gets massages next to each other by two different massage therapists. The therapists massage them with oil first, then they use the stones warmed by hot
water to massage the couple from head to toe. "It feels so warm and relaxing, like your bones are all softened," Mayer says.
Soothing music plays in the background and the massage therapists ask if there's any part that particularly hurts, and they pay close attention to those areas to alleviate the pain. After the massage, Mayer and Hudson are taken to separate shower rooms to take a hot shower, and then they are given cold cucumber water to sip on. "We just feel really light and relaxed afterwards." Mayer says.
Ashley Butell, a licensed cosmetologist, is a salon manager at Rejuvene Salon and Spa. She says she often sees groups of girls, college couples and moms and daughters coming in together. "People traditionally love to get pampered and catch up on their girl time or guy time. A little of 'them' time as well," Butell says.
PAMPERING TIME
Spa treatments may seem luxurious to some students due to the pricing. For example, pedicures typically cost from $25 to $35 and 30-minute massages are typically available for about $45. However, Butell from Rejuvene says that a lot of spas will work with customers' budgets and offer many discounts and specials especially to students. "People think of it as luxury. We kind of look at it as multiple things done in one place. Get your hair done, nails done and massages done," Butell says.
Jeremy McCarthy from Starwood Hotels and Resorts says many people don't ever go to a spa because of the cost or because they are unsure of what to expect. "Those who do finally try the spa quickly see the value of it,"McCarthy said.
Here are some services that add a twist to basic spa services. Check local spas for availability and price.
EAR CANDLING
Don't worry. This has nothing to do with sticking a candle in your ear and causing burns. A long cylinder is placed in your ear and the opposite end is lit to create slow vacuum, removing toxins and earwax. You experience no discomfort. Ear candling can help with headaches and sinus conditions.
SHELLAC NAILS
Shellac nail polish is applied just like regular nail polish, but dried in UV light almost instantly. The best part is that Shellac nails stay flawless for 14 days. It is removable with 100 percent acetone.
REFLEXOLOGY MASSAGE
Rellexology points are usually on feet, hands and ears. Pressure on these points relax your body and mind, increase circulation, help eliminate toxins and balance the flow of energy in your body
SEA SALT BODY CARE This treatment uses scented oil and sea salt, applied to the body to exfoliate and moisturize. This stimulates circulation, softens skin and leaves skin glowing. If you like to tan, having the sea salt body treatment will make your tan last longer.

THE POWER OF LOVE HOW SUPPORT CAN HELP IN TOUGHEST OF TIMES
R
// ALLISON BOND
X-rav of Allison's back before the surgery with an 80-degree curve in the spine.
R
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
Allison grew 3 inches in one day after going through scoliosis corrective surgery and having metal rods placed to straighten the spine.
I stared at the seventh-grade girl sitting across from me and all the memories came flooding back: the pain, confusion and helplessness. I had just learned that Molly, a new girl in the youth group I work for at Lawrence First United Methodist Church, had recently gone through a corrective scoliosis surgery, the same surgery I had gone through when I was her exact age. After a few seconds of shock I asked her, "Were you scared?" She silently nodded yes. I whispered back to her, "Me too."
My first memory about my curved back is of my uncle talking to my parents as they stare at me. My uncle had noticed that my back was slightly curved while I was in my bathing suit one afternoon at the pool. A series of doctor visits ensued after that and after touching my toes about 100 times while doctors examined me, I was eventually fitted for a back brace. Wearing a big hunk of plastic under your clothes to keep your back straight is not the most appealing thing for a middle school girl. Add the headgear and glasses I was already sporting and I
was the dorkiest middle school student in my grade. I felt like a walking magnet. I had to have help adjusting the brace sometimes.My friends were always supportive and ready to help.
Skip ahead a year and my next memory is my mom and I in a doctor's office, looking at x-rays and getting the news that my spine was now curved like an S at 80 degrees. The back brace had failed to hold my curve in place and surgery was the only way to correct the problem. I sink to the floor as a hot ball of tears stream down my face. The surgery would correct the problem by fusing two metal rods on either side of my spine to straighten my back permanently. As a seventh grader I had no idea what that meant. All I knew was that I was scared. After explaining what had to happen, it felt like the doctor then walked out of the room like it was any other workday; no emotion, no compassion. From that point on I hated doctors. And I saw a lot of doctors after that. I saw doctors for second opinions, for checkups and finally for my surgery. Major back surgery is a lot
for a seventh grade girl to wrap her mind around. Those months were filled with fear, wondering what surgery felt like, being terrified of the possibility of paralysis, complications doctors kept saying could happen and wondering if I would live through it. My dad tried his best to comfort me, and explain exactly what would happen.
Flash forward again and it's April 2, 2003. Surgery day. The day starts early at 5 a.m. at the hospital. An IV gets put in my arm and then it's waiting till surgery time. Family and select friends come to see me. I specifically remember Matt Johnson, my youth director at the time, and Craig Hauschild, my pastor, coming and praying with my family and me before I go into surgery. The comfort and support I received from Matt and Craig that morning filled me with courage.
The surgical room is a lot like you see in movies: clean, sterile and a team of people in masks busy preprepping around you. The anesthesia puts me out before I can count to 10. The next thing I remember is waking up to half a dozen
3
nurses around me to what feels like pins poking me. I quickly pass out again. My mother told me later that after a nine and a half hour surgery, I had very low blood pressure and that the nurses were finding it difficult to raise. I don't know when I wake up again, but when I do I'm as thirsty as Jesus walking in the desert for 40 days. Patients aren't allowed to have water for 24 hours after surgery. I want water bad. I can't talk because of the respiratory device shoved down my throat so I motion, almost violently, that I am thirsty. It doesn't help. The nurses finally give me ice cubes. I could drink a whole gallon of water. And all I get are a couple of ice cubes. It was the first of several trials that would follow over the next four months.
I don't remember much else of my hospital stay. Over the next week there were challenges like taking my first steps, getting my full lung capacity back up to par and staying awake long enough to see visitors.
After getting out of the hospital, I was confined to my parents' bed, completely dependent on other people for the basic necessities from eating to taking showers. Although I thought it torture, I had to keep walking to strengthen my back muscles. I didn't like walking but days I didn't were the worst. I would scream at the top of my lungs, writhing around on the bed in pain, as my mom rushed up to get me more medication. I was lonely too. My favorite part of the day was when my brothers came home from school. I finally had company. I hated weekends though, because everyone was busy and I was stuck at home in bed.
Relationships are what got me though my seventh grade year. My family took care of me in ways I didn't realize until much farther down the road. Little things from my Uncle Scott building me stairs to get into bed, to all the get well cards I received through my recovery, showed greater love than can be said. My church family always kept me in their prayers too. On Easter, I received the special gift of the church service coming to me. The contemporary praise band gathered around my bedroom and sang songs and prayed. My school friends and teachers let me know I was in their thoughts with visits, pictures and decorated banners to let me know I was missed. It's amazing what the power of love can accomplish. It can take a lonely, dorky seventh grade girl and give her hope. Love was exactly what I needed.

Student's memory honored among Greeks
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.

Price significantly changed the baseball program's fortunes during his tenure, but is it time for a new direction?
As long as the Texas and Oklahoma schools are in the Big 12 conference, Kansas probably won't find themselves atop the Big 12 standings, but they shouldn't find themselves last in the conference either.
Wide receiver Marquis Jackson evades a tackle in a game last season. After having a chance to watch his team, coach Charlie Weis is making some changes to his line-up during spring practices.
Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger is serious about revamping the Kansas football program because it's a cash cow, but if the baseball team's struggles continue, he should make an effort to revitalize the program.
Kansas baseball is a tough sell for high school recruits who are searching for a program that can prepare them for the major leagues.

After two weeks of spring practice, football coach Charlie Weis has had a chance to look at the team and has mixed feelings about what he has seen. He beamed about quarterback Dayne Crist during yesterday's press conference, but noted lingering questions about depth, at positions across the board. This is a time for adjustment in the university sports scene, and his football team, which is preparing for its first season under a new coach, is no exception.
At the running back position, the Jayhawks have sophomore Brandon Bourbon, sophomore Tony Pierson and Sims. That leaves a deep roster at wide receiver with six options for Kansas.
moving sophomore wide receiver Marquis Jackson over to running back during spring practice. Jackson adds size and a physical element to the position that Weis has not seen from other players.
The team is also adjusting after losing leading rusher James Sims, who has been suspended for the first three games of the season following a DUI arrest. But Weis will keep him productive while he is gone.
"We going to have the best show team running back in the country." Weis said of Sims' new role of preparing Kansas' defense for opponents in scrimimage. "The only way to not get rusty is to go over there and run show team."
One way Weis is adjusting is by
Weis said the Jayhawks would focus on getting Pierson more touches this season, but there is a challenge because he and running back coach Reggie Mitchell have to discover a balance to keep him productive, but fresh and injury free for the 13 game season.
"You are in a catch-22 now, because every time he touches the ball, he has the chance to score a touchdown." Weis said.
That is where the other ball-carriers will support Pierson and keep the offense moving forward.
That depth and versatility gives the coaches the ability to keep adjusting throughout the season to keep the ball with the hot hand.
They can tap their helmet when they want to go out, but I will wave them back in," Weis said. "You can get a break after you score."

Students participating in Friday night's relay aren't competing for a medal just the privilege of raising money for the American Cancer Society.
At Relay for Life events throughout the country, people form into teams, raise money and then try to keep one team member running, or more often walking, throughout the relay's 12 hours. The University's relay is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Friday at the Ambler Recreation Center.
According to the University relay website, Friday's event has 381 participants and 50 teams. So far, the KU relay has raised $21,237, a little more than half of the $40,000 goal set for this year. Katie Lord, the American Cancer Society's community manager of income who oversees the planning of local Relay for Life events, said that money often comes in during the event. Lord oversees the planning of local Relay for Life events.
The money raised goes to fund research,provide transportation for cancer patients and promote prevention and awareness efforts. Although the money is sent to the national office, all the money raised in Kansas does return to the state,Lord said.

Hannah Bolton and Brandon Woodard won nearly 85 percent of the student vote, running on the KUnited ticket. They received 1,814 of the total 2,147 votes cast Wednesday and Thursday.
Opposing candidates Gus Bova and Claire Kerwin, from the SPQR coalition, took 266 votes, or 12.4 percent. Sixty-seven students wrote in their own candidates, including Bill Self and Twitter personalities "KU Steam Whistle" and "Fake Jeff Withey."
KUinited candidates received the most votes in every senate seat contest. The two SPQR candidates running for College of Liberal Arts & Sciences freshman/sophomore seats, Noah Campo and Wade Briscoe, came
last in voting on the ballot out of 14 candidates. But both will still be sworn in as senators because 14 seats are available.
Results are not official until approved by the Student Senate elections commission.

Student's memory honored among Greeks
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
The initiative, hosted by University chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gamma Sorority, is designed to honor Jason Wren's memory. Wren was a freshman SAE pledge who died of alcohol poisoning March 8, 2009.
The Third Annual Jason Wren Initiative reminded the Greek community of the importance of moderation and understanding the effects of alcoholism yesterday evening in Budig Hall.
Toren Volkmann, a recovering alcoholic and author of "From Binge to Blackout," shared with the audience his own story of alcoholism and the idea that it can happen to anyone. He showed pictures of his own party experiences. Wren's name, and the names of the event sponsors, were displayed on a banner haining behind him.
The event was open to everyone free of charge, but event chair and SAE member Austin Wagner said that, of the about 700 people in attendance, the majority were sorority members. In the past, SAE asked 20 percent of all members from University sororities and fraternities to attend. Wagner said SAE did not do so this year because of a miscommunication.
Volkmann, who started drinking at age 14, said he never would have expected himself to become an alcoholic.
"I was from a normal family with a decent recipe for a very good outcome," Volkmann said, "but once I put myself in the category and started exhibiting that behavior, I was just as likely to become an alcoholic as anyone."
Before dismissing the audience, Chapin McLane, SAE president, reminded those in attendance that the point of the conference was not to tell students to be sober, but to ask them to drink responsibly.
Wren talked about having repeated blackouts even though he thought he was drinking socially. Eventually, those blackouts led to his alcohol dependency.
Angela Guist, a freshman from Ottawa, said she and her friends attended the event to support
"I have unfortunately blacked out a few times, and it's not a good feeling when you have no idea what happened," Guist said. "People say it's a part of the experience, but listening to him makes you think of how dangerous it can be."
The initiative started in 2010 and continued after Wren's father, Jay Wren, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity.
Wagner said he hopes to see the organization's efforts continue.
"Even after we're all gone, the message will still need to be said," he said.

Romney's wife answers motherhood criticism
WASHINGTON — Ann Romney fought back Thursday against a Democrat who suggested she's no economic expert because she "hasn't worked a day in her life." Raising the five Romney sons, she said, was such a full-time job that her husband, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, considered it more important than his work as the family breadwinner.
"He would say, 'My job is temporary...Your job is a forever job that's going to bring forever happiness.' Ann Romney told Fox News, wading into a multimedia furor over comments by Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen. "Mitt respects women that make those different choices."
Rosen apologized to Ann Romney later Thursday for her "poorly chosen" words.
"As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is," Rosen said in a statement. "A pundit, I
know my words on CNN last night were poorly chosen."
"In response to Mitt Ronney on the campaign trail referring to his wife as a better person to answer questions about women than he is, I was discussing his poor record on the plight of women's financial struggles," Rosen said.
First lady Michelle Obama, a working mother of two, even jumped into the fray with this tweet: "Every mother works hard, and every woman deserves to be respected. - mo." Tweets tagged "mo" are said to be from the first lady.
The series of exchanges brought the Mommy Wars to the presidential campaign trail as both parties court women voters critical to their prospects in the November election. President Barack Obama's high command had demanded that Rosen apologize, while the Democratic National Committee disavowed her comments.

North Korea rocket launched, flies for just over a minute.
PYONGYANG — North Korea fires a long-range rocket early Friday, South Korean and U.S. officials said, defying international warnings against moving forward with a launch widely seen as a provocation.
Days after threatening to do so, a rocket lifted off at 7:39 a.m. from the west coast launch pad in the hamlet of Tongchang-ri, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said, citing South Korean and U.S. intelligence.
However, the launch may have failed, U.S. officials said in Washington. Japan's Defense Minister Naiki Tanaka concurred.
"We have confirmed that a certain flying object has been launched and fell after flying for just over a minute." He did not say what exactly was launched.
Cameramen stand by to cover the PAC-3 surface to air missile units at the Defense Ministry in Tokyo, Japan, Friday.

He said there was no impact on Japanese territory from the launch.
In Pyongyang, there was no word about a launch, and state television was broadcasting video for popular folk tunes. North Korean officials said they would make an announcement about the launch "soon."
North Korea had earlier announced it would send a three-stage rocket mounted with a satellite as part of celebrations honoring national founder Kim Il Sung, whose 100th birthday is being celebrated Sunday.

Dioncounda Traore to head Mali nation as interim President
BAMAKO, Mali — Mali's new interim president took office Thursday, returning the country to civilian rule three weeks after mutinous soldiers overthrew the nation's democratically elected leader in a coup.
Dioncounda Traore, who heads the country's national assembly, is to serve as Mali's president for 40 days according to the constitution. Regional mediators, though, already acknowledge it will take longer than that for the country to organize new elections.
The deal to move Mali back to constitutional rule was hammered out between the head of the military junta that seized power in March and the West African regional bloc ECOWAS. Longtime Mali President Amadou Toumani Toure emerged from hiding
this week to render his official resignation.
Toure was just months from finishing his last term when soldiers on March 21 stormed the presidential palace, sending Toure into hiding and overturning a democratic tradition stretching back more than two decades.
The soldiers claimed they had grabbed power because Toure had mishandled a rebellion that began in northern Mali in January. However, it was only after Toure was ousted that the Tuareg rebels succeeded in taking the three largest cities in the region and declared independence.

The loss of the northern half of the country, an area larger than France, has plunged Mali into crisis. The fighters are divided between a secular group and an Islamist faction that wants to impose Shariah law in Mali's moderate north.
Mali's Interim President Dioncounda Traore, left, is congratulated by coup leader Amadou Haya Sanogo after being sworn in in Bamako, Mali Thursday.
Under intense international pressure and regional financial sanctions, Mali's coup leaders signed an accord last Friday, agreeing to return the country to constitutional rule.

Russian government to invest billions in space program
MOSCOW — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Thursday his nation will spend about $1 billion this year alone to build a new space launch pad in the far east that should ease the Russian space program's reliance on ex-Soviet neighbor Kazakhstan.
Putin told government officials in televised remarks Thursday that the first rocket launch from the Vostochny cosmodrome is set to be conducted by 2015, and in 2018 it should launch a first manned mission.
Officials have put the total cost of the project at about $10 billion.
Putin said Russia will continue to use the Soviet-built Baikonur launch pad it leases from Kazakhstan, but added that a new launch facility of its own is needed to secure the national space program's independence.
"Only the existence of several space launch pads would guarantee Russia a full independence in space activities," Putin said.
Russia also has the Plesetsk launch pad in the north used mostly for launches of military satellites.
the far eastern Amur region, 3,400 miles east of Moscow, and just about 60 miles away from the border with China.
Putin said the new facility will include more than 40 apartment buildings for personnel and the necessary infrastructure to make it a "comfortable, modern town."
"We aren't going to repeat the past when they were saving money on people," he said. "It will create a stimulus for the development of the entire far eastern region."
Officials have previously said that the new town will have a population of 40,000.

6.9 magnitude quake hits Baja, no major damage reported
MEXICO CITY A strong earthquake struck off the coast of Mexico on Thursday, waking up residents living near the Gulf of California, only hours after a separate quake swayed tall buildings in Mexico City, causing evacuations.

Authorities said neither quake left major damage nor victims.
People begin returning to a building that was evacuated after an earthquake was felt in Mexico City, Mexico, Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 6.9 magnitude quake hit the waters between the Baja peninsula and the northern state of Sonora at 12:15 a.m. local time.
Residents in the city of Hermosillo woke up as their beds swayed and their ceiling fans shook. Luis Enrique Cordova, director of emergency services in Sonora, said confused residents clogged the phone lines of the civil protection office in Hermosillo, the largest city and capital of the state, where some 700,000 people live. But Cordova said no major damages have been detected in the region.
"I was on my bed, leaning against the wall, and the fans kept moving nonstop, side to side," said Carlos Morales, a teacher in Hermosillo.
The quake was centered 82 miles northeast of Guerro Negro, and 133 miles west of Hermosillo, and it hit some 6.4 miles below the surface.
It follows a 6.4 magnitude quake which struck a sparsely populated area in the mountains of western Mexico on
Wednesday, and caused multi-story buildings to sway more than 200 miles away in Mexico City.
Wednesday's temblor was the latest in a series of strong shakes to hit Mexico City since a powerful 7.4-magnitude quake hit southern Mexico three weeks ago. But this was not an aftershock of that one, USGS geophysicist Dale Grant said.

Econ courses lack entrepreneur lessons
mschmidt@kansan.com
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
A study published by a University professor claims not enough attention is given to the role of entrepreneurship in introductory economic classes. Barbara Phipps, associate professor of curriculum and education, found that while the entrepreneur plays a vital role in the economy, most basic economic classes across the country rarely discuss the importance of entrepreneurship.
"We found that in most textbooks, there's little or no mention of the entrepreneur," Phipps said. "The entrepreneur and entrepreneurship is really the driving force in economic growth."
While Phipps said most universities offer classes about entrepreneurship, she pointed out that only a small percentage of students actually take those classes.
"The intro economics course is the only exposure to economics students, and ignoring the entrepreneur is ignoring a huge part of our economy" Phipps said.
In the study, Phipps and two collaborating professors looked at three economic textbooks that do cover the importance of entrepreneurship. The study found the books to be suitable models for educating students on the role of the entrepreneur
"We don't teach entrepreneurship explicitly, but we do teach things that do contribute to entrepreneurship," Becker said. "We talk about factors related to entrepreneurship without using the word."
Neal Becker, assistant professor of economics at the University, teaches introductory economic courses. Becker acknowledged that entrepreneurship is not covered in detail in the class.
Febrio Kacaribu, a graduate student in economics from Jakarta, Indonesia, said emphasizing entrepreneurship in the introduction course is unnecessary. Kacaribu views entrepreneurship as too complicated to teach in a basic economics class.
Becker said advanced economic classes discuss economic growth and factors relating to entrepreneurship, but that the complexity of the subject makes it difficult to cover in an introductory course.
"Economics is a theory about limited resources and how you make decisions." Kacaribu said. "Entrepreneurship is more of a business concept."

McKinley said the suspect was an acquaintance of the victim and the department placed the man under arrest after questioning him.
The Lawrence Police Department arrested a 36-year-old Lawrence man on suspicion of rape Wednesday night.
"We can't be all things in all courses." Becker said.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the police department, said the rape occurred within city limits at a residence in the southern part of town early Wednesday morning.

Axl Rose will skip, decline Hall induction
MUSIC
LOS ANGELES - This weekend, Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will throw its annual induction ceremony and concert to celebrate its newest members, which include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Donovan and Guns N' Roses.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Make that four-fifths of Guns N' Roses. Singer and co-founder Axl Rose released an open letter to the Rock Hall on Wednesday morning on a Los Angeles Times' blog declaring he'd skip the ceremony. He also requested that he not be inducted into the hall.
"I won't be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N' Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame." Rose wrote in the letter. "I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of 'Guns N' Roses'"
The Hall of Fame announced Guns N' Roses' inclusion in February, leading to instant speculation whether the five core members of the band circa "Appetite for Destruction" would appear
together for the first time since the early 1990s.
"This decision is personal." Rose said in his letter. "This letter is to help clarify things from my and my camp's perspective. Neither is meant to offend, attack or condemn. Though unfortunately I'm sure there will be those who take offense (God knows how long I'll have to contend with the fallout), I certainly don't intend to disappoint anyone, especially the fans, with this decision. Since the announcement of the nomination we've actively sought out a solution to what, with all things considered, appears to be a no win, at least for me, 'damned if I do, damned if I don't' scenario all the way around."
Just which Guns N' Roses members will accept the award remains a mystery. A spokeswoman for Slash, who declined to comment on Rose's letter, said the guitarist as of Wednesday morning was planning to attend. McKagan, meanwhile, will be celebrating the release of his book "It's So Easy (and Other Lies)" the night before the induction ceremony at Cleveland's House of Blues.
A spokeswoman for the Hall of Fame has not responded to calls or e-mails seeking comment.
MOVIES
Since February, Rose had remained mum on his plans, even as Slash had spoken out in favor of a Rock Hall reunion while also acknowledging Rose's antipathy.

a brief plot synopsis and publication date.
Newest Rowling novel named
The book will be Rowling's first post-Potter effort. Her seven-volume saga about the adventures of a boy wizard became one of the most successful fictional series in history and led to a series of extremely popular films.
The publisher said the "blackly comic" tale of rivalry and duplicity in a small English town would be available worldwide on Sept. 27.
The new book, aimed at a grown-up audience, will be set in a seemingly idyllic English town called Pagford which is described as far more menacing than its pretty facade would indicate.
The publisher said the 480- page novel will be sold as an e-book and audio download as well as in traditional hardback form.
It opens with the sudden death of a popular man whose unexpected demise shocks the town. The battle for his seat on the local council sets off "the biggest war the town has yet seen" with rich people fighting poor, parents battling their teenagers, and wives in conflict with their husbands.
The seven Harry Potter novels have sold 450 million copies and have been translated into 74 languages.
Rowling's final Potter offering, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was published in 2007. She published a short Potter spin-off collection of stories, "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard," in 2008.
Rowling said earlier this year she wanted to reach an adult audience, but kept the book's name and publication date secret until Thursday.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers can't complain there's nothing to see this weekend — 18 new independent productions and three studio works arrive simultaneously in local theaters. But what may be great for consumers has the people behind these movies losing sleep, worried that the intense competition could sink everyone's chances for box-office success.
LITERATURE
Although not all of the movies will open nationally, the 21 titles represent an anomalous uptick from even the most crowded release calendars. Last Christmas, one of 2011's busiest weekends for new releases, saw just 10 films open.
In the past, many successful children's writers have struggled to remake themselves as adult authors. Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne, a successful playwright in his early years, once confessed that he was forced to say "goodbye to all that" after his beloved books about the bear and friends.
Part of the reason for the mid-April bottleneck is that the number of independent films released in theaters has surged over the last five years. Despite the fierce competition this weekend, though, distributors — many of them small, shoestring operations — have hesitated to change their release plans, believing that the risks of box-office failure are outweighed by the potential rewards of favorable buzz that can boost DVD and video-on-demand revenue and the possibility of collecting some small windfall at the ticket window.
In some cases, the theatrical openings are intended largely to publicize an upcoming (or even
Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill and was shot on location in Tasmania, Australia.
Jeff Clanagan, whose Codeblack Entertainment financed and is distributing the Blair Underwood thriller "Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day," said when he dated his film in November the schedule looked wide open. "When we picked the release date, there wasn't a lot of competition there," he said.
Several of the 18 independent films have proper distribution deals, but the makers of a number of the new movies are financing their releases themselves. The doit-yourself slate includes the Sept. 11 documentary "The Woman Who Wasn't There," the romantic comedy "Life Happens" and the unsolved murder drama "Deadline."
"I'd like to think that the sheer volume week in and week out has plateaued, but that doesn't seem to be the case," said Jeff Lipsky, whose Adopt Films is releasing the performance art documentary "The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jave."
By releasing their films theatrically, even for one weekend, producers and distributors believe they can elevate their movies from so much VOD flatsam.
concurrent) video-on-demand release, where the lion's share of revenues are expected. (Although the major theater chains typically won't play movies that simultaneously are released on the Internet or cable and satellite television, a number of smaller circuits will.) The documentary "All In: The Poker Movie," the crime drama "Bad Ass" and the mercenary story "The Hunter" are already available on VOD channels or will be very soon.
Three movies will open in wide release: 20th Century Fox's "The Three Stooges," the outer-space thriller "Lockout" from FilmDistrict and Lionsgate's horror tale "The Cabin in the Woods."
"They get treated with more respect. You just get more attention," said Eamonn Bowles, whose Magnolia Pictures is releasing "The Hunter," which stars

EDITORIAL
Everything outside has turned green. Spring break offered a nice break from the usual schedule. March Madness has come to a bittersweet end. Meanwhile, we've hit that groove in the semester where homework and class seem like an inconvenience. Let's face it, procrastination is setting in and we'd much rather sit outside than go to class and focus on the remaining month of classes before finals.
BE IN CLASS:
There's still time to motivate yourself and prepare for finals. It sounds like a daunting task, but it's easier than you may think.
This is obvious, right? It's typical advice that everyone's heard before.
But things happen. You don't
want to go to class or you have other things to do. Then, when you do go, you're half asleep and not participating.
In some classes that's enough. Learn from the book and take the tests. In classes that may use material not in the textbook, going to class could be your only hope of getting that information.
In others it's not so easy. Participation points can cost you at the end of the semester. Make sure you know each of your professors' attendance policies.
Aside from simply occupying a seat in class, participate. Take an active role in your learning experience. If a class is difficult or you're on the borderline of earning a higher letter grade, showing initiative and taking advantage of the time you're already spending in
class could make a difference.
If distractions like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are getting in your way, try to leave your laptop behind and keep your phone in your backpack.
Likewise, when it's someone else's laptop that's a distraction, try sitting closer to the front of the room.
Sometimes speaking up in a room full of people may be scary. When something confuses you, write down your question and make an appointment to talk to your professor graduate teaching assistant or teaching assistant.
Another way to get over your non-involvement is to start slow and build your way up. Next time you're in class, resolve to answer one question. The next day, try to answer two.
Regardless of your method of learning, find a way to succeed.
TALK TO PEOPLE:
how you're going to study. In some cases, dividing the work up and creating study guides may work best, but in other cases reviewing each section as a group may work better.
Ask around; see how other people study for tests in the class. Find out if any of your friends took the same class in the past and what tips they have about preparing for the final.
Yes, I said it; talk to people. Finals are coming up and chances are that you have one in a class that you aren't really sure about. I bet someone else in your class feels the same way.
The only way to find groups like this is to talk to people. Network. Get the word out there and find people who are interested in helping.
If you know that your study method isn't working, or even if it is, try starting a study group. Find a group of people who have similar goals for the class and work with them to figure out a method to plan
SUCCEED:
This semester will soon be over. I know we're all aware of that. But as summer inches closer, so do finals.
Finish out the semester strong. Work hard in class and create ways to insure your success. You can do it; it just takes a little motivation.

Regulating brain cells could treat human obesity
What if the future treatment of obesity took form as an X-ray beam to the head? After all, appetite control is regulated by the brain, specifically the hypothalamus. A new study published in Nature Neuroscience explored new nerve cell production stimulated by a high fat diet in mice.
This would not be as unexpected if cells were produced in other organs, but in the brain, it is remarkable. With a few exceptions, the adult brain does not make new nerve cells.
By Monica Saha msaha@kansan.com
In the study, the mice were given a diet with a 60 percent fat content. Usually, mice are given a diet of 33 percent fat content to prevent them from weight gain. After consuming a fatty-rich diet for several weeks, the researchers noticed the neurons in the hypothalamus had quadrupled when no changes were seen in the mice that were given a normal diet. This was detected by a
c-fos molecular marker.
A high-fat diet changed the brain circuitry in controlling hunger as well as the addition of many neurons. The researchers found the new neurons were descendants of glial cells called tanycytes They were found on the mediian eminence which is located on the inferior boundary on the hypothalamus.
To test if the tanycotes were correlated to a high fat diet, the researchers targeted the newborn neurons for elimination by a beam of radiation to the hypothalamus. This is similar to using radiation therapy to kill cancer cells that are rapidly dividing. The radiation
cleaves the DNA of the cell while they are in the process of dividing, thus other neurons in the hypothalamus that are not dividing were secured while the tanycetes were obliterated. As a result, the adult mice gained less weight as well as had increased energy levels compared to the fat rich diet mice that did not have their neurons irradiated.
There is no evidence that an increased fat diet increases tanycyte production in humans or other animals, but this study shows insight of how the brain can remodel in the presence of more fat. Obesity is a serious health problem in America that will not go away anytime soon. A study like this offers possible new therapies to target fat in places other than the digestive system and stomach by targeting fat in the organ that controls our hunger.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to the column "Republicans are portrayed badly from Wednesday, April 11
I don't know anything about Mr. Corrigan's family history, but judging from his picture, he looks like a white man. I'm guessing he's never been followed around a department store, or watched parents cross the street to avoid him, or stood by as his new neighbors built a fence within six weeks of his moving in. He can express his opinion freely without readers blowing it off as "playing the race card." But these are all things that have happened to me, a black woman, and frankly, I consider myself lucky. These people found me suspicious, but at least I wasn't shot.
It's true, we don't know exactly what happened with Trayron Martin. But Mr. Corrigan left out some convenient facts. Like how 911 correspondents told Zimmerman not to pursue Martin, but he did anyway. Or how Martin was unarmed and Zimmerman had a gun. Or how Zimmerman has a criminal record of domestic violence and battery. If the races were reversed (and I know Zimmerman is Latino, but with his pale complexion and German name, he no doubt "passed" for white at the scene of the crime), Zimmerman would have been arrested or

I find it sad that Mr. Corrigan would turn this tragedy into a question of politics. This is an issue of race. Because believe me, if "prominent conservative leaders" like Herman Cain or Clarence Thomas were wearing hoodies, they wouldn't be able to pick up a cab. Sharpton and Jackson are taking a stand against a criminal justice system that has, too often and for too long, wrongly condemned people of color. If Republicans want to improve their image, they need to start by helping them.

tional experience to have so much support from all of the people in the room and the student body," said Bolton, next year's student body president. "Everyone's been on Wescoe Beach this whole time, everyone's sun burnt and exhausted. The watch party is a celebration for all of the hard work we have put in for active tabling."
Bolton and Woodard said they are excited to express students' wishes as the University implements new policies, such as the Changing for Excellence and Bold Aspirations initiatives.
"I want to walk away from this having accomplished every single platform that we promised the students and to make the student experience better," said the next vice president, Woodard.
Bolton wants the University to make the grading system more consistent by choosing the plus or minus grading system or the pass/fail system.
Woodward said he will ask the University to add a Spanish minor. A minor is available in just about every language but Spanish, he said, because the department doesn't have enough graduate teaching assistants.
Since KUnited has won the election 17 times in the past 18 years, the coalition will be able to build on the work of previous senators. Student Body Vice President Gabe Bliss said he and president Libby Johnson are leaving the office in good hands.
"It's kind of bittersweet for us because we had a year to work on everything for the student body." Bliss said. "Seeing our work flourish throughout the year, and seeing our new leaders emerging, is rewarding."
SPQR FOCUSES ON FUTURE
SPQR coalition members were at Henry's on Eighth, 11 E. Eighth St., when the election results were announced.
Their collective reaction was "congratulations to all."
Campaign manager Brian Sultana said that, despite the loss to KUnited, he thought SPQR accomplished it's goal: to provoke discussion about student government.
"This next year, I hope to not allow pointless wastes of students' money to be used on useless things, such as cell phone chatting kiosks," Briscoe said. "I would rather see sidewalk repair and better meal plans that are not $9.50 a meal."
The coalition will have two senators in Student Senate next year. Wade Briscoe, one of the coalition's CLAS senators, said SPQR plans to be active.

Next year, incoming University students will participate in the Common Book Program, one of several initiatives that have sprung out of the Bold Aspirations Strategic Plan.
Book of essays picked for Common Book
First-year students will be provided with the book "Notes from No Man's Land", a collection of essays addressing diversity in American communities by Eula Bliss.
The book will be discussed at orientation, as well as Hawk Week and convoiation on August 19.
"The goal of the program is to encourage students to think critically. It invites analysis of a common theme and opens up dialogues and discussions," said Provost Communications Coordinator Gavin Young. "It is important for first year students to learn the expectations at a four-year university."
Other book-centered events include book discussion groups and bringing in Bliss as a guest speaker. Some classes will incorporate material from the book, including COMS 130 and PRE 101.
While the program is directed at incoming students, all members of the University community are able to participate.

Social media expert from NPR discusses tweeting Arab Spring

Andy Carvin has become known as "the man who tweets revolutions."
Famous in the Twitter world as @acarvin, he has reported on Arab Spring, a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protest in the Arab world, since it began in late 2010.
"They began assembling in public places. Getting a group of people
Carvin leads NPR's social media efforts and was interviewed by Bill Lacy, director of Dole Institute of Politics, Wednesday night at the Dole Institute.
"It was always hovering in the background as something I was interested in," Carvin said. "I don't consider myself an activist, the sheer act of covering a revolution sheds light on it."
"I knew that social media played a part in Arab Spring, but I had no clue exactly how big a role," Lacy said. "Carvin was extraordinarily insightful."
Describing the current situation of daily public protests in Egypt, Carvin said the tipping point of the revolution was the day the Egyptian government shut off all media.

Once the people were able to use social media again, Twitter allowed the them to spread the word to other countries, including Tunisia, Syria and North Africa.
"They fought back as fiercely in social media as they did in the streets. The digital natives don't see a difference between online and offline life," Carvin said.
Andy Carvin, Senior Strategist for NPR, is interviewed on the Arab Spring demonstrations and the use of social media as a form of revolutionary activism Tuesday evening at the Dole Institute of Politics
Carvin called social media one of the most popular forms of journalism. For people in many Arab nations, Twitter is the quickest way to send information to the rest of the world.

"Especially in journalism, you have to drop the artifact of coverage and audience because on Twitter and Facebook, there is no difference," Carvin said.
Carvin was covering Arab Spring from America until last June, when visited the Middle East.

Cancer survivors take the first lap around the track, followed by a second lap for those who have been caregivers to cancer patients. At 11 p.m., participants will light candles to celebrate the memory of those who died from cancer as well as survivors. Students make resolutions that they feel will help in the fight against cancer during the Fight Back ceremony at 2
a. m., when morning is approaching. By the closing ceremony around 5 a.m., Kirkhart said, participants are exhausted, like a patient would be, but hopeful and starting a new day.
Jacob Peterson, a sophomore from Osage City, participated in the relay several times as a child but it wasn't until his grandmother was diagnosed with cancer at the end of his senior year that he decided to become more actively involved.
Peterson is now on the event's planning committee and has raised over $500 this year. He hopes to raise more, and said
the cause is significant to many students.
"Chances are that you or someone you know and love will be diagnosed during your lifetime," Peterson said. "We each have a story of how cancer has impacted our lives."

The Kansas softball team will face No. 5 Texas this weekend, but coach Megan Smith said the team is more excited than nervous.
"It's fun to play the best and that's what we're doing again this weekend," Smith said. "It's a lot of fun to see how we stack up against them."
Kansas,(26-12, 3-9),squares off against Texas (32-5, 6-3) in a three-game series beginning Friday.
Texas enters the weekend having lost three consecutive games, two of which came against No. 9 Missouri, while Kansas currently holds a three-game winning streak.
Against such a talented team, Kansas' goal is to focus on the team itself. Smith said the biggest keys to success this weekend are to approach each pitch individually and "just play hard."
The Texas offense is among the best in the country. Its .356 team batting average leads the Big 12 and is helped by senior infielder Lexy Bennett, whose .418 batting
"She's such a talented pitcher. She'll come out this weekend and hopefully have a better outing."

average is top in the conference.
Smith said Kansas' pitchers must stay composed in order to limit Texas' lineups.
The layhawks will need sharp outings from each pitcher, especially from junior Morgan Druhan. Druhan is the the team's second starter and she struggled to find the strike zone Wednesday
against Wichita State.
"She needs to throw strikes," Smith said. "She's such a talented pitcher. She'll come out this weekend and hopefully have a better outing."
The Longhorns' junior Luna Blaire and sophomore Rachel Fox lead the Texas pitching staff. Neither are elite strikeout pitchers, but both hold an ERA under 2.00.
Kansas' junior leftfielder Maggie Hull has faced Blaire twice in her career and hopes that helps her out this weekend.
"She's the type of pitcher where she may get you once, but you can figure her out easily," Hull said. "She's pretty predictable."
Hull is third in the conference with 48 hits on the season and will need help from the entire lineup if Kansas hopes defeat Texas.

Unbeaten starting pitcher to face No.2 Texas A&M Friday
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
With the Kansas baseball team (12-21) in the midst of a six-game losing streak, the Jayhawks will face a challenge this weekend at Hoglund Ballpark.
Kansas opens a three-game series with No. 2-ranked Texas A&M (26-7) on Friday as coach Ritch Rice's team looks to end the losing streak. Texas A&M lost 3-2 Tuesday against Texas-Arlington, which ended their five-game winning streak.
Junior pitcher Michael Wacha will take the mound on Friday for Texas A&M. Wacha is 4-0 with a 2.82 ERA, and College Baseball Daily ranks him as the 26th-best player in the country.
"Our starting pitching has been really good on the weekend, and when you see the three guys Texas A&M runs out there, you'll see the reason that they're No. 2 in the nation," Price said. "They have as good of starters on Friday and Saturday night as anyone in the country."
"The more that you can have momentum on your side, it gives us a better chance in the long run to come away with a victory," Elgie said. "We had opportunities to get clutch hits, but it didn't go our way – that's why you play the game though. Hopefully
The Jayhawks rank at the bottom of the Big 12 in both average and runs scored, so it will take an out-of-character performance from the offense to give the Texas A&M pitching staff trouble. Senior third baseman Zac Elgie said that a few key plays could be the difference in beating the Aggies.
we'll get those clutch hits this weekend and get a couple wins"
Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan is scheduled to start Friday against the Aggies. Duncan will enter the game with a 3-4 record and 3.49 ERA, but he has given the Jayhawks quality innings even in defeat.
25
"We're going to need quality starts from all three of our pitchers this weekend," Price said. "We do like our pitching - our starters have been good."
The usual weekend starters of freshman Wes Benjamin (2-3 with 3.93 ERA) and junior Thomas Taylor (3-4 with 4.13 ERA) face Texas A&M's Ross Stripling and Rafael Pineda. Both Stripling and Pineda have five wins and under a 3.00 ERA. Stripling is the only Big 12 player named to ESPN.com preseason All-American team.
Price's teams have found previous success against top-ranked opponents, and last season the Jayhawks beat top-ranked TCU in the first series of the year. Price said that the key to those teams success was their competitive nature and excitement when going against top-ranked clubs. However, Price is not sure how this young Kansas team will respond against Texas A&M.
"The teams that I've coached in the past have lived for this moment," Price said. "We're really young, and I'm hoping we can rise up another level. You have to be willing enough to compete against them and not be afraid, and we've been fortunate in the past to be afraid."

Blanton bounces back, Miami loses twice without Guillen
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
Blanton (1-1) allowed three hits and a run in his first start following an injury-plagued season. Blanton had two lengthy stints on the disabled list and pitched in only 11 games in 2011, the lowest for a full season in his career.
PHILADELPHIA — Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton homered, Joe Blanton pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami 3-1 on Tuesday night in the Martins' second game without suspended manager Ozzie Guillen.
Blanton is often overlooked in a rotation that boasts three aces. Against the Marlins, he was as effective as he was during his first two seasons in Philadelphia.
The Marlins lost their second straight game without Guillen. He was suspended five games by the Marlins on Tuesday for saying he admired Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Blanton outdueled Mark Buehrle (0-2) to help the five-time NL East champions win their second straight game and move back to .500. Blanton made only eight starts last season because of elbow problems. He was in a groove and had good command while throwing 85 pitches.
Jonathan Papelbon took the mound in the ninth to Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar," and quickly ran into trouble. But he retired John Buck on a game-ending double play for his second save.
The Phillies know they can count on Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels to help them overcome an offense weakened by the loss of Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. But Vance Worley and Blanton are rotation wild cards.
B.M. MASON
Lee, Worley and Hamels are the probable pitchers for this weekend's three-game series against the improved New York Mets.
Having Blanton back in the mix
as a dependable starter would bolster Philly's chances to hold off NL East teams on the rise such as the Marlins, Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves.
The Phillies broke through for seven runs a night earlier against the Marlins after scoring a combined eight runs over the first four games. They couldn't put together a big inning against Buehrle — but a team that became annual contenders on the back of the long ball went deep twice.
Buehrle retired the first nine batters before Victorino led off the fourth with a shot to left for Philadelphia's third home run of the season. John Mayberry Jr. added a run-scoring single later in the inning for a 2-0 lead.
The Marlins made it 2-1 when right fielder Hunter Pence displayed Buck's low liner and couldn't come up with the ball, scoring Omar Infante.

TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
This weekend, the men's golf team will compete in one of the nation's most prestigious college tournaments.
They'll travel to the Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif., where the 66th Western Intercollegiate's 14-team field features seven top-20 teams including No. 1 Texas, No. 3 California and No. 5 Southern California.
"If you look up and down that list of former winners, there are a lot of guys that went on to play on the PGA tour." coach Kit Grove said. "For us it's a great opportunity to go out there and play a great course, and it will be a great test for us going into the Big 12 Tournament."
The Alister MacKenzie designed course at Pasatiempo provides a tough test for players. Not unlike MacKenzie's Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., players must keep the ball below the hole on lightning-fast greens to play well over the course of the tournament's
54 holes.
"It truly is a great golf course." Grove said. "It's kind of like Prairie Dunes in the aspect that when you're 19 or 20 years old, you don't know what a treat it is to play."
Coach Grove said that, in some cases, the greens are a bit too severe thanks to modern greens-keeping methods. These methods create a small number of hole locations that can be nearly unplayable.
Patasiempo is known for being a shorter course with a feel like that of a longer course. With altitudes near sea level and several elevation changes on the course itself, Patasiempo must be managed well mentally.
"It's a golf course you just have to think," Grove said. "It's a course that you have to keep the ball below the hole almost at all costs, and accept the fact that you're going to hit some good shots and have some really difficult pitches and two putts."
The layhawks begin play at Pasatiempo four days after finishing play at the Cowboy Classic.
"That's the way it goes sometimes." Grove said. "It's such a special place, it's such a unique golf course and it's a great field. Do you like to go back-to-back? No, I'd rather be home for a few days, but the good thing is we played well last week so we're going in with momentum."
Pasatiempo favors a patient golfer that can grind out scores in tough conditions. Chris Gilbert, one of the more consistent ball strikers on the team, and Dylan McClure, who has hit 38 consecutive fairways, fit that mold.
"The aggressive game plans don't always get rewarded on this golf course, as much as the plotters and the guys that are patient," Grove said.
BASEBALL
The Jayhawks continue to focus on playing one hole at a time.
"You have to stay in the moment, and understand that you're going to get out of position on this golf course and you're going to make some bogies," Grove said. "As a player, you just have to accept that."

Twins comeback over Angels capped by Morneau's homer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS—Justin Morneau hit a two-run, go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied from six runs down to beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-9 on Thursday.
Joe Mauer went deep, too, hitting a three-run shot off Dan Haren in the fifth that cut into a 6-0 lead the Angels built against Francisco Liriano. Every Twins batter had at least one of the team's 20 hits, enough to make up for the 14 men left on base, including eight in scoring position.
Denard Span had four hits, including an infield single that tied it at 6 in the seventh inning. On the play, he reached first at the same time as Scott Downs, stomping down on top of the reliever's foot with his cleat. Downs right ankle rolled awkwardly and he left the game what the team called a bruise.
Peter Bourjos' RBI single off Brian Duensing, whose wild pitch let Vernon Wells take second, put the Angels in front again in the eighth — for a few minutes. Mauer singled off Rich Thompson (0-1), and Morneau followed with his first home run of the season. He had left seven runners on before
that. The Twins tacked on two more runs, and the drama didn't stop there.
Jeff Gray (2-0) picked up the victory, and Matt Capps notched his second save despite giving the Angels two runs back.
Albert Pujols, 5 for 23 with his new team, singled to start the ninth and reached third when Torii Hunter's possible double-play ball skipped off second base for a fluke single. Mark Trumbo cut the lead to two with an RBI single, Wells beat out another potential double-play ball and another run scored on a fielder's choice to first.
Chris Iannetta's slow roller to third ended the game with a runner on second.
Maicer Izturis had a two-run single in a five-run second inning and stole two of the Angels' five bases. Trumbo homered and scored a run in the fifth on Wells' two-out ground-rule double when he walked and stole a base.
Josh Willingham started a three-run seventh with his fourth of Minnesota's six home runs this year.
After hitting 28 home runs and winning the American League Most Valuable Player award in 2009, Mauer has only gone deep 13 times — and just twice at
Target Field, plus one in an exhibition game when the ballpark first opened in 2010. During that MVP season, he routinely pulled the ball to left, but most of the limited power he's shown in his career has been to the opposite field.
With all the problems he's had staying healthy, particularly last season while fighting weakness and soreness in his legs, Mauer has infrequently been behind the plate for matinees following night games. But Mauer hasn't been held back so far this spring, and manager Ron Gardenhire didn't hesitate to slot him in the lineup as Liriano's catcher for this one.
"I didn't ask," Gardenhire said,
grinning before the game.
Roughed up by the Kansas City Royals in his first start, Haren was remarkably hittable again, but he was tough when he needed to be against the two left-handed hitters. Mauer struck out and Morneau fled out to the warning track with Span on third in the first. Mauer's infield pop out and Morneau's lazy fly followed a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the third.
But Mauer, who was booed after his weak pop, got one back in a big way in his next at-bat.

mgoodwin@kansan.com
Coach Stanley Redwine is sure that the track and field team will be ready to compete in its only home meet of the year, the Kansas Relays.
He is just as sure that they will not be overlooking the other meets on their schedule.
For now, there is still one more meet to focus on before they return to compete in Lawrence. This weekend, the team travels to Texas once again for the UTEP Invitational with a chance to get into a rhythm the week before the Kansas Relays. Rhythm is everything, according to pole vault coach Tom Hays. Rhythm in the team's activities, training, and especially in the vault.
"If you get in the rhythm in the vault your confidence goes a lot higher," Hays said. "You might be able to grip up two or three fingers. You're just going to hit it more elastic and bigger with rhythm."
Sophomore Alex Bishop and freshman Greg Lupton appeared
to get into rhythm last week at the Emporia State Relays, where they both jumped to a new personal record. Bishop's jump currently ranks 17th in the NCAA, while Lupton stands at 30th.
Coach Hays has teased the two, saying that they were still jumping on high school poles; it was not until recently that they switched to bigger poles. These are the poles that will allow them to vault over the bigger heights and move to the next level of competition. These new poles require Bishop and Lupton to be faster, stronger and more efficient in their technique.
"A lot of it for them is mental." Hays said. "You take off a little further from the box, so it's a little harder. They have to grow up a little bit mentally; the competition is harder in college so you have to jump on bigger poles."
Bishop said he feels that his timing is pretty good, but agreed with his coach that there is room for improvement in his rhythm. The bigger poles unbend much faster, giving him less time to turn up in his vault. The team's training has focused on consistency and it has paid off in major ways for Bishop. At the Texas Relays, he jumped his personal record, clearing a 5.30 meter bar to win the event and defeating much of the same competition that he will face at the Big 12 championships.
"I was fired up. I'm hungry for more." Bishop said. "It got me in that mode where there are unlimited possibilities."
Last Saturday at Emporia State, Bishop again focused on consistency and jumped his personal record again. For the UTEP Invitational, rhythm is once again the key. Now that the consistency is clearly there, Bishop said, it is just a matter of time before the bar is raised once again.
"This week we'll try to add more rhythm to their activities." Coach Hays said. "Then come in and be a little bit more rested for the home meet, to give them a chance to try to show off for the home crowd."

CHICAGO - C.J. Watson scored 16 points, including the game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation, and the Chicago Bulls pulled away in overtime to beat the Miami Heat 96-86 on Thursday night.
Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 19 points and Kyle Korver added 17 points for the Bulls, who outscored Miami 12-2 in overtime to boost their lead in the Eastern Conference to four games.
The Bulls were able to pull off the victory despite a horrible shooting night by Derrick Rose.
LeBron James scored 30 points for Miami, but missed a free throw that would have made it a two-possession game late in regulation. Dwyane Wade added 21 points, Chris Bosh scored 20, but the Heat lost for the sixth time in 11 games.
Things were looking good for Miami when James nailed a 3 that made it 83-81 with 49 seconds left in regulation. But with a chance to seal the game, he missed the first of two free throws with 11.4 seconds remaining.
!That kept the Bulls in it and Watson made a 3 to tie it at 84 with 2.2 seconds left. The game went into overtime when Wade missed a baseline jumper at the buzzer.
Deng started the extra period with a jumper. Taj Gibson dunked on Ronny Turiaf for a three-point play and scored on a neat spin move after Wade hit a free throw, making it 91-85, sending the Bulls to a dramatic
win on a night when their super-star had perhaps his worst game as a pro.
Rose scored just two points and hit 1 of 13 shots, a brutal night for the reigning MVP. Then again, he hasn't played much lately.
He returned from a 12-game absence due to a groin injury for Sunday's overtime loss at New York, only to sprain his right ankle. He did not play Tuesday,
when the Bulls beat the Knicks at home.
But even with Rose struggling, the Bulls managed to pull this one out.
Korver, who scored 14 on Tuesday, again came up big, particularly down the stretch.
His 3-pointer and jumper put Chicago ahead 78-74 with about 3:30 left, and after Wade scored, Boozer nailed a jumper and Ronnie Brewer hit a free throw
to put the Bulls' lead at 5.
Wade, however, kept Miami in it.
He scored on a drive and a jumper to make it a one-point game, and Bosh came up with a key rebound off a miss by Wade, feeding James for the 3 that made it 83-81. But things unraveled for the Heat after that.

Cassie Dickerson onto the fall 2012 squad.
Kallmaier played for Deutscher Futball Verband of the German Football Association for four years before joining the Jayhawks. Some of her other accomplishments include taking Deutscher to a third-place finish at the European Women's Championship last summer and being a part of German soccer club FC Bayern Munich.
"Hanna is very technical and very comfortable on the ball, even under pressure," Francis said. "Her distribution is very consistent. She has good size, which makes her good in the air, and she is athletic. Defensively, Hanna does a very good job of winning the ball."
Dickerson, a first year law student at Kansas, Dickerson still has one year of eligibility after playing three years at Ohio State. She graduated from Columbus in 2010.
In 2010, she guided the Buckeyes to the Big Ten championship and the NCAA Final Four. She was also the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and grabbed first team allconference honors for a second time. She also participated in the U.S.U-23 National Team camp.
"When you add a player who has been a first team all-American, so she's been voted as one of the top 11 players in college soccer in 2010, you're adding a kid who obviously is a very high talent in terms of a soccer player," Francis said.
"She's bringing in a lot of experience, experiences that no one on our team has had. We don't have anyone who has been a first team All-American, we don't have anyone who has played in a Final Four and we don't have anyone who has been a captain for three years."
The Jayhawks continue their spring swing this weekend in Iowa City, where they will face off Sunday against Iowa and Iowa State. The first game is at 11 a.m. and the second game is at 1:45 p.m.

The Spurs looked helpless while Lakers center Andrew Bynum become just the second NBA player in the last dozen years to corral 30 rebounds in a game, but behind Duncan, their front line fared much better against the equally big Grizzlies. The Spurs matched Memphis
in rebounding and held Randolph to 10 points and 11 boards.
Gay shot just 7 of 22 one night after he had 32 points against Phoenix. The Grizzlies whittled an 88-74 deficit down to two points with 3 minutes left before losing steam. Memphis staged its comeback despite shooting just 29 percent in the fourth.
Danny Green added 10 points for the Spurs. Parker had nine assists and shot 5 of 12 after scoring just four points against the Lakers.
O. J. Mayo scored 16 points and Marreese Speights added 15 for the Grizzlies.

Hollins arrived in San Antonio reiterating that he has no intention of returning Randolph to the starting lineup anytime soon.

After a ten-day break from competition, the Kansas women's tennis team hopes to rebound from four straight losses in today's Border Showdown against Missouri.
"The girls know that this is a huge 'W' if we can get it this weekend," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It's right there with the way the girls have been playing and their intensity level. I think having last weekend off has built their enthusiasm and their drive a little more."
The Jayhawks travel to Columbia, Mo., this morning for their match versus their longtime rival. As of April 10, the Tigers were No.45 in the ITA Women's National rankings, sitting at 8-8 on the season.
"They're still Missouri. It doesn't matter what sport it is, just the name Missouri—that's the rivalry already," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "In basketball, football, or just tennis, we still want to beat them really bad."
Missouri comes into the match on a four-match winning streak, although none of those victories came against Big 12 teams. The Tigers are currently 1-4 in conference play, with the only win coming over unranked Iowa State last Friday, 6-1. None of Missouri's roster is ranked individually in singles or doubles play.
After playing in Columbia, Kansas travels to Ames, Iowa to take on Iowa State for a battle between two of the Big 12's three unranked teams. At 3-15, the Cyclones are also winless in conference play, and will play Kansas State on Friday.
The Jayhawks' match against Iowa State is set to begin Sunday at noon, but if it rains the match will be moved indoors. The last
match of the regular season for Kansas will be at Kansas State on April 15 before the Big 12 Championships begin April 26 in College Station, Texas.
"The teams we've played have been so tough," sophomore Claire Dreyer said. "Our conference is tough, but we're right there with
every single one of them. We've just got to keep fighting. I know it's discouraging looking at that, but we just seriously need to startling getting at it. We're capable of doing this, we just have to believe for real."

RANGERS
Rangers open conference series with a 4-2 victory

New York Rangers' Brian Boyle reacts after scoring a goal during the second period of Game one of a first-round NHL hockey playoff series against the Ottawa Senators Thursday in New York.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Marian Gaborik and Brian Boyle scored minutes apart in the second period to break open a tight game, and the top-seeded New York Rangers opened their first-round Eastern Conference series with a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.
The Rangers, the No. 1 seed in the East for the first time since they won the Stanley Cup in 1994, shook off their 1-2-1 regular-season mark against the Senators and easily dispatched them in Game 1.
Ryan Callahan scored in the first period, Gaborik and Boyle pushed the lead to 3-0, and Brad Richards added a goal in the third for the Rangers. New York will host the No. 8 Senators again on Saturday night before the best-of-seven series shifts to Ottawa for Games 3 and 4.
Henrik Lundqvist was sharp early, stopping Jason Spezza on a partial breakaway and then turning aside Jim O'Brien, who weaved his way through the New York defense before getting off an in-close drive that was knocked away.
Lundqvist's only blémises came in the third period. Daniel
Redfredsson wrecked his shutout bid at 10:05, and Erik Condra made it 4-2 with 2:19 left. Lundqvist finished with 30 saves.
Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots, but it wasn't enough for him to maintain his perfect mark at Madison Square Garden.
The Senators dominated play throughout the second period, but a couple of late lapses turned a tight
game into a virtual runaway.
Ottawa kept up constant pressure in the New York end. It just didn't produce any results. The Senators hemmed in the Rangers several times and forced a handful of icing calls. It got so bad in the middle of the second that New York coach John Tortorella was forced to use his lone timeout just to give his guys a breather after back-to-back icings.
ZENGER FROM PAGE 12
While Zenger's life appeared to be a huge blur in his first months at Kansas, the athletic director won't look at it that way. He frequently says he's not a victim, and what he did was just part of the job. But during that coaching search, Zenger did more than the usual parts of the job.
"It was a grueling, grueling day," Weis said of the interview process as he was introduced as Kansas' coach.
When he returned to Kansas on Dec. 11, 2011, Zenger had Charlie Weis by his side as Kansas' new football coach. And while Weis, the former coach at Notre Dame, has a resume that looks impressive, Zenger did not give the coach any breaks as he looked for the program's perfect fit.
Soon after Weis got settled in, conference play began for basketball. Both times Kansas played Missouri, Zenger and company had to answer questions about if Kansas would ever play Missouri again. The answer, for the time being, is no, a decision Zenger said was made at his desk.
And then came the Sweet Sixteen run for the women's basketball team, and the Final Four run for the men's basketball team. Zenger said the experience was a shot of confidence in the arm of Kansas Athletics.
Kansas coach Bill Self had high praise for Zenger, as Self complemented him at the Basketball Awards Ceremony on Monday night.
"We're on a serious uptick in our Athletic Department," Self said. "And Sheahon and his staff deserve a lot of credit."
Zenger, the man in charge of Kansas Athletics, started his career off on the high dive, dealing with experiences and pressures that he had never faced before.
"You just had to jump in and swim," Zenger said. "And hopefully in the right direction."

U.S. lacks enthusiasm about Olympics
O
one hundred and five days till the official Olympic flame is lit in London.
Every four years, athletes from numerous countries gather to compete in the Summer Olympics. Private leagues and individual championships don't compare when it comes to players competing for their country's pride.
Unlike most of the world, the U.S. doesn't have a strong fan following. People don't spend nights glued to the TV keeping tally of which country is winning the most medals.
As with each Olympic Games, it's an opportunity for nations to get involved on an international stage. We pride ourselves on being a nation of diversity and multiculturalism, but our nation is very isolated from the rest of the world.
By Tanvi Nimkar
tnimkar@kansan.com
The FIFA World Cup doesn't incite large crowds and intense rivalries for us. To us, the word cricket means a pesky bug rather than a national sport. By this point of the year, Super Bowl Sunday and March Madness are over, and there is a minor lull in sports. I recommend taking the opportunity to
brush up on your Olympic knowledge.
This year's Summer Olympics will have 26 sports, ranging from wrestling to equestrian jumping. On July 27, the opening ceremonies will start with introductions of the host country followed by introductions of all the athletes and their countries. The official kick off to the games is when the Olympic flame is lit. It remains lit until the end of the Olympics.
Although the Olympics may not hold the same thrill for us compared to other nations, it doesn't mean we haven't excelled in the games. For the past 12 years, the U.S. has won exactly 36 gold medals in each of the three summer Olympics.
Following the summer Olympics are the Paralympics, which will begin

on Aug. 29 in London as well. The Paralympics consist of 20 sports and were created for competitors with physical disabilities. The Paralympics were started in 1948 after a number of competitors returned from World War II with injuries.

COMMENTARY
There's a different premium
Women, not men, occupy the most entertaining, fastest-paced sport in all of Kansas athletics, and it isn't even close.
The following proclamation is sure to cause a lot of scoffing and eye-rolling, but after two years of covering Kansas sports, this is a statement I feel very comfortable making.
For those of you who end most of your jokes with punchlines like "WNBA" or "Title IX," that statement will likely come across as ludicrous. At a school that features Naimith Drive and Phog Allen Fieldhouse, it may even be sacrilegeous. And a few short months ago, I would have joined in on that line of thinking.
No. 5 Texas comes to town
Longhorns on losing streak,
despite their lofty ranking.
PAGE 7
But, after covering the Kansas volleyball team for a year, I can come to no other conclusion. Faster than the baseball team and more harder-hitting than the football team's defense, coach Ray Beard's squad made me a fan of the sport very quickly.
Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't have given volleyball a chance, if I hadn't unexpectedly been assigned to the volleyball beat last fall.
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
This seems to be the sad reality of Kansas women's sports. Outside of a dedicated group of hardcore fans, the sports don't seem to get too much traction with students.
The attendance gap is more surprising, because when it comes to the primary objective of sports - winning - the women's teams have the men's teams outclassed; and this academic year is only magnifying that fact.
Track has another weekend meet before competing in the Relays.
Yes, men's basketball is clearly king, and deservedly so. But this season has shown that when it comes to winning, the often-ignored women's programs could teach the men's programs a thing or two.
Kansas City-area sports fans deal with enough losing from their professional teams already. So, go see some winning teams a few times this spring, right here in Lawrence.
Losing is one thing, but most of these defeats are not even competitive. The football team lost its games by 27.8 points on average. Since conference play began on March 23, the baseball team has lost its games by an average of 4.45 runs.
Edited by Corinne Westeman
Meanwhile, on the women's side, softball just recently railed off a school-record 20-game winning streak. Women's basketball defied the odds and made the Sweet 16, after losing star junior Carolyn Davis. Volleyball stumbled down the stretch, but recorded a win over the highest-ranking opponent in program history, No. 6 Minnesota, on Sept. 10.
And the women's track team, which is perhaps the best-kept secret on campus, boasts several individual champions and an overall second-place finish at the NCAA indoor championship last month.
Former football coach Turner Gill was canned following a miserable 2-10 season. Baseball coach Rich Price could be next if his team doesn't recover from a downward spiral that has left them at 12-21.
Despite very poor on-field results, football and baseball still tend to occupy the two primary spots in Jayhawk random behind men's basketball, of course. Need an indication on how "well" those sports are going?

NO REAL BREAKS
Athletic director Sheahon Zenger has no time to take days off
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
When Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger moved into his new house in Lawrence with his family last June, he put most of his belongings in the garage. To this day, he still hasn't touched them.
There has been no time for Zenger to organize. From the very beginning, his new job at Kansas required his full attention and that hasn't changed.
"My wife tells me it was hard," Zenger said. "I kind of got lost in it."
Zenger was lost in his first year on the nonstop job at Kansas. He came to Kansas having to clean up the leftovers from a ticket scandal within the athletic department, handle a conference realignment situation that had Kansas fans sweating, fire and hire a football coach, and finally ride along as the women's and men's basketball teams had surprising NCAA Tournament runs.
"Your first year, an athletic director's job is always busy, and you kind of sellout your family and everybody else," Zenger said. "There are certain things you anticipate you're going to be doing, but there's no way I could've anticipated two or three of things that came our direction."
On Jan. 3, 2011, Zenger was officially introduced as Kansas'
athletic director. Zenger came at a time when the ticket scandal was something he didn't have to deal with much. In fact, the scandal is something Zenger doesn't talk about, even with his own employees in the Athletics Department.
However, conference realignment directly affected Zenger. As the Big 12 began to teeter, Zenger moved to the basement in his house. He didn't want to bother his family and he had to have his iPhone, iPad and blackberry charged, or charging at all times. His first phone call would come in around 6:30 a.m., and they wouldn't stop until around midnight every day.
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
"I never thought the Big 12 was going to go away." Zenger said. "In my heart of hearts I believed that the Big 12 would stand, and it did."
Once conference realignment came to its conclusion, football season did the same. And once again, the workload never stopped for Zenger. On Nov. 27, 2011, Zenger fired football coach Turr Gill. Three days later, Zenger took to the air, as he flew across the country for two weeks, looking to find the next football coach for Kansas.
"I did sleep from two to six every night and that was literally it," Zenger said. "When you're in that moment, you're willing to sacrifice whatever. That's what you get paid to do."
Dr. Sheahon Zenger, Kansas' athletic director, sits down for a conversation with the Kansan in his office. Zenger has been busy with the conference realignment and a run to the national championship.

With only a handful of days removed from the NCAA tournament, Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor have their eyes on the NBA. While signing autographs for fans, the two discussed what their plans for the upcoming NBA Draft that'll take place in June.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson take a moment to talk about their next move during the second half of the game against Kentucky in the National Championship in New Orleans April 2. Both players will enter the NBA draft this summer.
After an up and down four years at the University, Taylor is projected to be a late-first or early-second round pick, depending on what mock drafts you look at and respect. Chad Ford, of ESPN Insider, has Taylor ranked as the 33rd overall prospect in this year's draft.
When asked about Ford's projected outcome for him, Taylor laughed and said, "Thirty-three? Really?"
In order to improve on that draft grade, Taylor acknowledges he there areparts of his game that he needs to elevate.
"I'm just have to keep working hard, work on my jump shot and work on things they say I can't do well," Taylor said. "Can't worry about what the mock drafts say and just continue to get better."
Robinson, though, after averaging 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game during his junior campaign, is almost guaranteed to be a top-five pick in the draft. Ford has him as the fourth-ranked prospect and going third overall to the New Orleans Hornets. But the knock by scouts and evaluators is that he is too short to play power forward in the NBA. Robinson
isn't bothered by what has been said about his height.
"It only matters if I play like I'm too short," Robinson said, "Then we have a problem."
The two haven't started to prepare extensively for the draft yet — at least, not when it comes to workouts — especially since their season ended 11 days ago.
Both players have different things to offer whichever teams decide to take the Jayhawks' star players. Taylor and Robinson said they are both willing to do whatever they have to for their

respective teams to succeed.
Each has an ideal team in mind, when considering the draft.
Robinson, when asked the same question, laughed and smiled, and then said "New Jersey. I want to go to Jersey."
Taylor simply said, "The Lakers,
let's go Lakers."

Robinson and Taylor both realize
that they are about to capitalize on their childhood dreams -dreams that are only growing brighter and will continue to in the coming months.
"Just to be in this position is a blessing," Taylor said. "I'm going to take full advantage of it."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904
Moving to an apartment?
The Kansan ran a front page story Friday stating SPQR won two freshman/sophomore senate seats in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. However, further vote tallies show that SPQR did not win any senate seats.

The only non-KUnited seat a graduate studies senator position was awarded to independent candidate Thomas Ringenberg. There was no candidate for the School of Social Welfare's two senator seats.
Voter turnout took a dive from last year with only 8 percent of students casting their ballot.
The KUnited coalition won the presidential and vice presidal election and 53 of 54 senator seats after last week's elections, shutting out opposing coalition SPQR from Student Senate next year, according to unofficial elections results.
Last year, KUnited and opposing coalition RenewKU both ran strong campaigns that ended with an increased voter presence: 21 percent of the student body. That was up 9 percentage points from the 2010 elections.

The campaigns for last week's elections were a different story. KUnited spent more than $6,000 on campaign efforts, while SPQR spent $15, according to the coalitions' mid-elections expense reports.

Many of SPQR's chalking was found rubbed away Thursday morning, but some messages still remained. Elections commission chairman Keith Adams said that SPQR did enough cleaning to stay in the elections.
The two coalitions' final activity and expense reports are due Monday at 5 p.m. The elections commission is expected to officially validate the elections results on Wednesday.
SPQR faced a serious violation of the Student Senate elections code during a hearing on April 11 for obscuring KUnited's chalking. Members of the coalition were ordered to clean up all chalking by 10 a.m. April 12, or the elections commission would invalidate any seats awarded to the coalition.

RESTLESS CHARITY
Teams walk for twelve hours to raise money for cancer research

For 12 hours Friday night and early Saturday morning, students struggled to stay awake for a good cause.
Friday was the University's Relay for Life, an all night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. So far, participants have raised $28,500, but fundraising will continue throughout the rest of the year
"It was such a powerful event," said Jacquelyn Pedigo, a graduate student from Wichita. "I love the metaphor of staying up all night and being so tired but fighting through it."
Pedigo has participated in Relay for Life since it first came to the University in 2003. Over the years, she has raised around $1,000 to help fund research for an illness that took the lives of her aunt and two grandparents. Raising the money and walking in Relay makes her feel like she's making a difference, Pedigo said.
"Every little bit counts, but the more people that participate and the more times you do it, the bigger the difference it makes," she said.
Jana Schwartz, a freshman from Topeka, got involved in Relay for the first time this year after hearing that many of her friends wanted to get involved.
"It's fun because you're raising money, but you also get to really see what you're raising
money for, and everyone is here for the same thing," Schwartz said.
Although one person from each time is suppose to be on the track at all times, Schwartz said her team, "Save Second Base," didn't work out a schedule in advance for who would walk at certain times. They did come prepared with blankets, computers and a deck of playing cards to keep themselves entertained during the long night.

Bre Kirkhart, the chair of Relay and a junior from Wichita, said that although fundraising efforts brought in $28,500, Relay is still shy of the $40,000 goal.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
"We have a long way to go, but we can at least get closer to it," Kirkhart said. She said raising $35,000 might be a more realistic target.
The University's Relay isn't the only opportunity to get involved with Relay For Life in Lawrence. Douglas County organizes it's own relay, which will be at Free State High School June 6 at 7 p.m.

Comedian brings laughs to 'Gaypril'
Fortune Feimster excited to help celebrate acceptance

Coming out to your parents, turning the tables on potential kidnappers and being mistaken for a guy; no topic was off limits for comedian Fortune Feimster, who performed Saturday night as part of Queers and Allies' Gaypril celebration.
Feimster was a semi-finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2010. She now works as a fulltime writer and performer for "Chelsea Lately," comedian Chelsea Handler's late night show.
Nathan Stitt, a senior from Clay Center and media coordinator for Queers and Allies said the organization tries to choose a balance between educational and entertaining events.
It was Feimster's first Gaypiril performance, and she said she was excited to be a part of some-
Stitt said that Feimster was a great choice for Gaypril because she is outspoken and successful, despite the fact that lesbian comedians are underrepresented in the

Feimster performed a 45-minute routine that explored everything from adjusting to life in Los Angeles after being raised in North Carolina to posing as a Hooters waitress. Feimster also included in her performance an impromptu tap dance and rendition of the Ying Yang Twin's song "Get Low." After her stand-up, she took questions from the audience, many of which were about working at "Chelsea Lately" and working with her famously snarky boss, Chelsea Handler.
"We're going to go into the basement together," she said. "We're going to hunker down and hug each other, because I don't know how to deal with tornadoes. You're going to be like 'Fortune was supposed to be funny and she just cried the whole time.'"

President Barack Obama participates in a three-way conversation with Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff and Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos at the CEO Summit of the Americas, in Cartagena, Colombia, Saturday. Regional business leaders are meeting parallel to the sixth Summit of the Americas which brings together presidents and prime ministers from Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and the U.S.
Obama looks to congress for help changing immigration
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARTAGENA, Colombia — In his most specific pledge yet to U.S. Hispanics, President Barack Obama said Saturday he would seek to tackle immigration policy in the first year of a second term. But he cautioned that he would need an amenable Congress to succeed.
"This is something I care deeply about," he told Univision. "It's personal to me."
Obama said in the television interview that he would work on immigration this year, but said he can't get support from Republicans in Congress. Obama also tried to paint his Republican presidential challenger, Mitt Romney, as an extremist on immigration, saying that Romney supports laws that would potentially allow for people to be stopped and asked for citizenship papers based on an assumption that they are illegal.
CARTAGENA. Colombia
Romney aides have said that the former Massachusetts governor supports laws that would require employers to verify the legal status of workers they employ.
"President Obama only talks about immigration reform when he's seeking votes," said
"So what we need is a change either of Congress or we need Republicans to change their mind, and I think this has to be an important debate during throughout the country," Obama said.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "Then-candidate Obama promised to tackle immigration reform in his first year. More than three years into his term, America is still waiting for his immigration plan."
Hispanics are an increasingly important voting bloc in presidential elections. Obama won a sizable majority of the Hispanic vote in the 2008 election and his campaign is hoping for similar results this November.

Five people die after Sudanese planes drop bombs on town
RUBKONA, South Sudan — Sudanese planes bombed a disputed oil town near South Sudan's border on Saturday, a southern military official said, and a doctor said bombs aimed at strategic sites in South Sudan's Unity State killed five people.
Col. Philip Aguer said Saturday that villages near the disputed oil town of Heglig fell under heavy aerial bombardment and that he expected ground fighting to resume "anime" soon.
Troops from South Sudan on Wednesday captured the oil-rich border town that is claimed by Sudan.
Aguer said southern forces did not
plan to give up the town, which lies along the ill-defined border between the two Sudans.
Aguer could not say how many soldiers had been killed on either side. He said at least 19 South Sudanese soldiers and 240 Sudanese troops had been killed since the recent resumption of hostilities.
Heglig has been the focal point of more than two weeks of clashes between the two nations. Both sides claim the area, but Sudan operates Heglig's oil facilities, which account for nearly half of the country's daily production.
The U.N. Security Council demanded the withdrawal of South Sudan's military forces from Heglig and an end to aerial bombing by Sudan of South Sudan. It also urged Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Kirr to hold a summit to resolve their conflicts.
In Unity State, Bentiu Hospital medical director Peter Gatkuoth said bombs killed four civilians and a soldier Saturday. Jets released six bombs.

Fighting erupted in between Sudan and South Sudan May of last year, just months before South Sudan formally declared independence from Sudan.

Nations disagree on Cuba joining Summit of the Americas
President Barack Obama, right, speaks with his Chilean counterpart Sebastian Pinera at the sixth summit of the Americans in Caracena, Colombia. Sunday.
SOUTH AMERICA
Associated Press
The question hung in the air as the leaders convened Sunday for a private morning retreat.
CARTAGENA, Colombia Could this weekend's gathering of about 30 Western Hemisphere leaders be the last Summit of the Americas?
Washington, backed by Canada, was standing fast against widespread demands to include in the meeting's final declaration language specifying that Cuba be included in future hemispheric summits.
"All the countries here in Latin American and the Caribbean want Cuba to be present. But the United States won't accept." President Evo Morales of Bolivia told reporters late Saturday. "It's like a dictatorship."
Morales and other leftist leaders have been insistent that this weekend's meeting in this Caribbean colonial port will be the last regional summit under Organization of American States auspices unless Cuba is invited in the future.
The top international adviser to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Marco Aurelio Garcia, said the differences could
mean the summit will end with no final declaration.
U. S. President Barack Obama's peers lectured him Saturday over his unflagging opposition to Cuban participation due to U.S. objections to the communist-governed Caribbean island's lack of democracy.
The foreign ministers of Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay have said their
presidents won't sign any declaration unless the U.S. and Canada remove their veto of future Cuban participation
The Cuba issue led Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa to boycott the summit, and Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega also sat out the meeting.
Kim Jong Un stresses military might in first public address
ASIA
Kim Jong-Il
Kim Jong Un, North Korea's new leader and late leader Kim Jon Il's son, addressed the world for the first time on Sunday. He stressed military strength and unity.
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea's new leader addressed his nation and the world for the first time Sunday, vowing to place top priority on his impoverished country's military, which promptly unveiled a new long-range missile.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kim Jung Un's speech took North Koreans gathered at Kim II Sung Square and around televisions across the country by surprise. His father, late leader Kim Jong II, addressed the public only once in his lifetime.
Punctuating Kim's message that the North will continue to pour funds into its military, the parade culminated with the unveiling of a new long-range missile, though it's not clear how powerful or significant the addition to the North Korean arsenal is. Some analysts suggested it might have been a dummy designed to dupe outside observers.
Kim's address was seen by analysts as an expression of confidence by the young leader and meant to show that he is firmly in control.
"Superiority in military technology is no longer monopolized by imperialists.
and the era of enemies using atomic bombs to threaten and blackmail us is forever over," Kim said.
His message suggested no significant changes in national policy — the "Military First" strategy has long been at the center of North Korea's decision-making process.

Taliban militants raid prison and free about 400 prisoners
DERA ISMAIL KHAN,
Pakistan — Taliban militants
armed with automatic weapons and
rocket-propelled grenades battled
their way into a prison in northwest
Pakistan on Sunday, freeing close
to 400 prisoners, including at least
20 described by police as "very
dangerous" insurgents, authorities
and the militants said.
The raid by more than 100 fighters was a dramatic display of the strength of the insurgency gripping the nuclear-armed country. The escaped prisoners may now rejoin the
fight, giving momentum and a propaganda boost to a movement that has killed thousands of Pakistani officials and ordinary citizens since 2007.
The attackers stormed the prison before dawn in the city of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province close to the Afghan border, said police officer Shafique Khan. They used explosives and hand grenades to knock down the main gates and two walls, said Bannu prison superintendent Zahid Khan.
"They were carrying modern and heavy weapons," said Zahid Khan. "They fired rockets."
Once inside the building, the attackers headed straight to the area of the prison where death-row prisoners were being kept, he said. They fought with guards for around two hours, setting part of the prison on fire before freeing the 380 inmates, including at least 20 "very dangerous Taliban militants," said Shafique.
The militants coordinated with each other using radio handsets as they freed their colleagues in different parts of the prison, said one of the prisoners who did not escape, Amanullah Khan.

Powwow honors Native Americans' heritage
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
The powwow, sponsored by First Nation Student Association, (FNSA) was held at the Robinson Center gymnasium and was postponed from Saturday evening due to inclement weather. Through singing and dancing, Natives and non-Natives alike celebrated Native American culture.
Dressed in traditional Native American clothing of feathered head dresses, colorful dance shawls and decorated moccasins, more than 50 dancers performed to beating drums in front of at least 400 people at the 24th annual KU Powwow on Sunday afternoon.
"The powow creates a big opportunity for people on campus to come and experience Native American culture." Samantha Wiese, a senior from Sussex, N.J., and president of FNSA. said.
More than 20 tribes were represented at the powwow, including the Omaha, Lakota, Pueblo and Wiese's tribe, the Huron-Wyandot.
"It's always great to share your Native culture with other people," Wiese said.
Brian Horsewhitaker, a dancer who performed at the event, was glad to be able to dance one last time before heading overseas for military service. Horsewhitaker
preferred the smaller dances, and he performed a grass dance as part of the powwow.
"The Natives at the college come from all over, so it's a good way for them to come together and feel at home," Horsewhitaker said.
"I know a lot of people and it's nice to connect the AISES members to their heritage and culture," Curley said. "I like the music, dancing and mingling with friends and family."

Title of Burton film changed for overseas
LOS ANGELES — Abraham Lincoln won't get top billing in some foreign countries when his vampire-hunting adventure hits the big screen this summer.
In Italy and Portugal, meanwhile, the title character is gone entirely. The film will be called "The Legend of the Vampire Hunter" and "Secret Diary of the Vampire Hunter," respectively, in those countries.
Hoping to make its adaptation of the bestselling book "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" more accessible to overseas moviegoers might not be familiar with America's 16th president, 20th Century Fox is calling its June release "President Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" in Taiwan and Thailand and simply "Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" in Hong Kong and South Korea, a spokesman for the studio confirmed.
In the rest of Europe and all of the Spanish-speaking world, the picture will carry a local language version of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
It's not uncommon for movies to get new names in certain overseas markets, particularly when the original title contains references that have more resonance for Americans.
For "Abraham Lincoln," directed by Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, some at Fox are already concerned that the content itself — with a main character drawn from American history — will be less appealing than many other summer movies in certain overseas markets.

Filmmaker tries to keep Marley's music 'fresh'
ORLANDO, Fla. — Bob Marley remains, as his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography attests, "reggae's foremost practitioner and emissary." More than 30 years after his death at 36, his estate still earns millions from sales of his music — his "Legend" greatest hits disc has sold over 20 million copies, and counting — and the omnipresent T-shirt that bears his image.
"People love to listen to him at the beach, to hear 'Three Little Birds' or 'One Love' in parties," says filmmaker Kevin Macdonald ("The Last King of Scotland," "State of Play"). "Stir It Up' plays in

teacher, talked to his widow and surviving children and his mistresses. He got band mate Bunny Wailer to talk frankly about the man's genius and his faults.
"Marley" is Macdonald's critically acclaimed new documentary about the jamaican reggae icon
The filmmaker was going for something "more rounded," filling his film with blunt assessments of Marley's personal shortcomings and uncomfortable chats with a record company exec who signed him at a bargain-basement price, causing Peter Tosh and Bunny to bail out of The Wailers.
"I didn't want to talk to the people you expect to see in a Bob Marley documentary — Bono, Clapton, Mick Jagger, all those people who might go 'Oh, he was so wonderful.'"
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
INDIO, Calif. — Tens of thousands of visitors will descend upon the desert region beginning Friday for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Fans and bands may need an extra stamina boost this year. Coachella, one of the biggest events for pop fans, the music industry and the Mojave Desert, is expanding for the first time from one weekend to two and will feature 143 bands. By cloning itself into twin festivals, with identical lineups, spread over consecutive three-day weekends, it will easily rank as the highest-grossing festival in the world this year, according to Billboard magazine.
Macdonald found Marley's first

will more than double in population with the addition of 80,000 or more Coachella guests each weekend, and those two waves of visitors will bring money to spend. The influx of visitors also means sold-out hotels, packed cafes and a run on Smartwater in more affluent, surrounding areas such as the resort towns of Indian Wells and La Quinta.
Last year's one-weekend event grossed $25 million in tickets. This year that figure is expected to jump to the $50 million mark by the time the event closes on April 22. Three-day passes cost $285 sans service fees, and all 150,000 passes were gone within three hours of the lineup being announced in January.
"There were enough buyers in queue to buy online that we probably could have added another two Coachella weekends," said Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live.

Technology provides an easy way out
RELATIONSHIPS
It goes something like this: There's a girl you've never met before in one of your classes at the beginning of the semester. She's cute, smart and talkative, and your interest in her grows a little bit every time you have class together. One day, after class, you come up with a weird little way to start a conversation with her; maybe you compliment her shoes, or ask about that band t-shirt she's wearing.
You talk all the way to your next class, and you're both smiling and laughing the whole time. Needless to say, you get along really well, and it's clear that you're both at least a little interested in each other. You
say goodbye out in front of her next class, and walk on, feeling accomplished. "Next time I see her," you say, "I'll ask for her number or ask her on a date."
Unfortunately, you lose the nerve. You add her on Facebook, and she messages you, asking something about the class you have together. You have a small conversation via Facebook messaging, and that's that. You decide you'll test the waters by asking if she'd like to hang out sometime. That, my friends, is where it all goes wrong.
You see, this sends the wrong message, pun intended. What you're really saying is something like this: "Hey, I think you're attractive and I like talking to

you, but I'm too much of a coward to ask you out in person."
She's obviously not going to like that you wouldn't ask her in person, and she'll send a non-committal response, if she sends one at all. She'll think you've shown your true colors.
Now, I'm sure by this point you've figured it out. I have a little experience with this. I've
had a couple of opportunities pass me by because I took the easy way out. I can tell you this much: Ask her in person, and the chance of success is much, much higher that she'll say yes. Even if she does reject your offer, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You showed who you really were, and you decided to ante up instead of falling over and flopping like a deluded fish.
I certainly can't claim to understand the female mind, so you might want to check out my findings by consulting a close friend of the female gender. However, I can almost guarantee that she'll say being asked in person is more flattering and makes a much better impression.
Technology seems to provide an easy solution to the "asking her out" problem, but in reality, all it provides is a foolproof way to guarantee she'll lose interest.
If you show a girl that she's not worth the chance you'll have to take in asking her out to dinner on the walk after class, you also show her that you're not worth her time. Thus, I implore you, fellow men, to show her that she's worth your time, and maybe she'll return the favor.

RUM
FREEDOM
In this April 3, 2012 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum greets supporters in Cranberry, Pa. Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum's plan to use state conventions to pull support from Mitt Romney has stalled in North Dakota, where Romney has the largest group of backers among the state's national convention delegates.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Santorum withdrawal good, but needs to support Romney
On Tuesday, April 10, 2012, after a week end of "prayer and thought," Rick Santorum decided to suspend his presidential campaign, effectively succeeding the presidential nomination to Mitt Romney, barring some unforeseen disaster.
In his announcement, Santorum talked about how he found a "deeper love for this country" throughout his campaign. He talked about the unlikelihood of his campaign, calling it "as improbably as any race that you will ever see for president." His improbable, little-funded campaign ended up winning 11 states, including an improbable victory in Iowa. He collected a total of 285 delegates, but still trailed Romney's commanding lead of 661 delegates. His campaign truly was unexpected and created an element of surprise in the nominating contest.
However, with the number of states left to award delegates declining (down to only 19) and Romney's increasing his delegate lead over Santorum, the choice to suspend his campaign at this time makes sense. His suspension and effective withdrawal from the race comes earlier than many people anticipated, which is likely due to it being prompted in part at least by the hospitalization of his daughter, Bella. While unfortunate circumstances may have made or at least contributed to Santorum suspending his campaign it ultimately will give the Republicans a better chance to win back the presidency.
By Matthew Nygaard editor@kansan.com
Even though Santorum has suspended his campaign, he
did mention that "we are not done fighting," saying there is still work to be done to defeat President Obama in the general election, as well as work to keep hold of the House and regain the Senate. However, in his announcement Santorum did not mention Mitt Romney's name. Romney's campaign responded by calling Santorum "an able and worthy competitor" and congratulating him on the campaign that he ran.
Santorum's decision to suspend his campaign is the right one for the Republican Party and will enable Mitt Romney to begin to consolidate the Republican base in preparation for the general election against President Obama. The other challengers, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, should follow Santorum's lead and withdraw from the race sooner to begin preparing to defeat President Obama. Gingrich has acknowledged this saying that he would "help defeat Obama any way I could" stating that whatever "the team think[s] I can do to be helpful I would do." Gingrich withdrawing from the race would further help Mitt Romney rally the Republican base behind his campaign.
Santorum was respectful to Romney, calling to tell him about the suspension of his campaign prior to making the public announcement. Sources say Romney asked Santorum for his endorsement immediately during their phone conversation, but questions still exist
about whether that will occur. Romney and Santorum plan to meet face-to-face in the coming weeks, presumably to discuss a future endorsement.
I think that Santorum's withdrawal this early from the Republican nomination contest is the best thing that could have happened for Mitt Romney. Although Paul and Gingrich still remain, Santorum's withdrawal allows Romney to begin focusing on winning the general election. However, I do wish Santorum would have directly put his support behind Mitt Romney when announcing the suspension of his campaign. It will be necessary for the Republicans to take the Presidency.
I realize this has been a tough and somewhat bitter campaign between Romney and Santorum. Perhaps it is not realistic to expect Santorum to immediately support Romney. Romney needs Santorum's support to draw in the conservative right that have viewed his campaign less than favorably. An endorsement from Santorum could help rally the support of the conservative right for Romney.
Ultimately Santorum must support Romney for the sake of his party and for the sake of his country. While the fight between men in politics often becomes personal, Santorum must put those personal differences aside to ensure Mitt Romney ends up in the White House. The sooner Santorum makes that commitment to supporting Romney, the better.

Shop for healthy local food at the farmers' market
It's April and that means the advent of one of my favorite warm weather traditions: the farmers' market. Finally, after an admittedly not so harsh winter of supermarket produce, it's time for the immensely fresh and flavorful bounty sold at the local market. Lawrence's large Saturday morning market, at 8th and New Hampshire Streets, began April 14th and the smaller weekday satellite locations are opening the first week of May.
It can seem intimidating if you aren't used to shopping at farmers' markets. There are lots of fresh ingredients, maybe some you've never seen or heard of before, but you don't have to start with those. You can find many of the things you would buy at the grocery store at the farmers' market, and if it's in season it will often be cheaper than a supermarket
as well. The vendors at the market are very knowledgeable about the products they are selling because they often grew them.

Supporting farmers' markets is great for the community as they promote and build the local economy.
It's also better for you. It's proven that a plant-based diet is the healthiest for your heart and health as a whole, so shopping at the farmers' market will hopefully increase the amount of fruits and veggies you eat. But the markets are not only produce. The Saturday market features vendors who sell locally raised meat, cheese, breads and other goods, all delicious, homemade, and again from local sources. I can't
selves, so if you aren't sure what something is or how to prepare it, simply ask. The vendors are great resources and would love to tell you all about their products and how to cook with them.
Supporting farmers' markets is great for the community as they promote and build the local economy. Buying a tomato at the farmers' market is wonderful for many reasons: you know it was grown locally and picked fresh and recently, not shipped from Mexico with days of transport time, you can talk to the person who grew it and really understand where your food comes from and what goes into it, the money that you spend will go right back into Lawrence, and it just plain tastes better.
I hope to shake the image that farmers' markets are for uppity tree huggers because they are not. They are for people who want delicious and
stress enough how beneficial buying locally really is. Besides the aforementioned reasons, it is also drastically less impactful on the environment. The products you're buying are from farmers, not large industrial agriculture corporations that can harm the environment with their methods, and all the pollution that's created by shipping food around the world is totally avoided.
healthy food and who care about supporting local business and agriculture. Some farmers' markets in Kansas City are working hard to expand their
clientele and offer their services to groups of people who normally are not afforded the luxury of such foods. Through the Beans and Green Program in KC, many farmers' markets, including the gigantic City Market, now accept SNAP (government food assistance) and will actually match your purchasing power, dollar for dollar. This encourages low-income families access to shop and eat healthily and opens an entirely new market to the farmers trying to sell their products.
All in all, farmers' markets are a win-win-win. The farmers, the local economy, and especially the consumers all benefit from purchasing there. So with the market now open, don't be nervous and give it a try, maybe just pick up a few ingredients and I'm sure you'll be impressed and become a loyal follower like myself and everyone else who makes the weekly trip to enjoy some amazing local food.

Earth Day brings the community together

REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
Hundreds of students and Lawrence residents came together to celebrate our Earth by parading down Massachusetts Street and exercising global awareness in South Park during the 12th annual Earth Day Celebration downtown on Saturday.
Schools, University student groups, churches and environmental groups from around Lawrence marched down Massachusetts Street and displayed their love for Earth with outfits made from recycled products as well as instruments, floats and signs about environmental awareness. The parade ended at the fair in South Park.
"It's a really fun way to show how you feel about the Earth and to get together with a bunch of people who feel the same way," said Kim Scherman, president of KU Environs. "Sometimes environmentalists really want to feel that sense of community. I feel this celebration really does that."
KU environs has coordinated the Earth Day parade for about 11 years. It provides resources
for environmental action and encourages environmental awareness within the student body
This year, its float represented the Earth and its relationship to people. Two students tied themselves to an approximately 6-foot-tall ball of trash, which represented the Earth filling up with trash. Two other people in loin clothes walked in front of the trashy Earth to symbolize primitive nature and freedoms of a trash-free Earth.
After the parade, KU Environs tabled at the fair and sold notebooks made from cereal boxes and natural dyed T-shirts.
The Student Farm also set up a booth to recruit people to start growing their own food. The organization provides resources and 4-foot by 30-foot plots for students and community members to grow organic food for themselves. This year, Student Farm started a community plot with about 70 people involved. There are about 20 students involved and 50 community members.
The University's Chemistry Club paired with the First Presbyterian Church to increase awareness about chemistry and science. They had water-based activities such as a Dr. Seuss project called "oobleck." The project included creating a corn starch and water mixture, and as well as dying white flowers with red food coloring and water.
"We hope to raise environmental awareness in general, especially about getting active in the Lawrence community," Nicole Niehues.
"Chemistry doesn't have to be thought of asadangerousushing." Sonny Tallawajahala, member of the club, said. "It can be fun and interesting."
The purpose for their experiments was to show that chemicals aren't always bad for the planet.
co-coordinator on the Local Food committee, said. "It's important to make a difference in the lives of people around you."
Participating Earth Day organizations also offered free vegan ice cream sandwiches and a variety of tofuurky, imitation meats. In addition to all the energizing activities, there were also chances to relax with free massages and live music while celebrating love for the Earth.

Tornadoes damage Midwest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — The massive storm system that plowed through Kansas this weekend damaged businesses, uprooted trees, caused power outages and upended about 100 homes in a Wichita mobile home park. But no serious injuries or fatalities were reported, a feat one authority called "pretty much a miracle."
The National Weather Service said the system spawned at least a "month's worth" of tornadoes in Kansas, about as many as the state would normally see in April.
The storms hit the Kansas counties of Sedgwick and Rice especially hard. The Pinaire Mobile Home park in southeast Wichita sustained major damage, but there were no major injuries. Several of the mobile homes were demolished, others were heavily damaged. Some were still burning Sunday because of several gas leaks in the area.
Damage survey teams from the National Weather Service spent time Sunday in areas hit hardest by the storms that swept through Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa all day Saturday and early Sunday. They were trying to determine how many tornadoes the storm spawned, said Mike Hudson, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Kansas City.
"We knew well ahead of time that this was going to be ugly," Sedgwick County Commissioner Tim Norton said. "People listened. They sheltered in place, and we are very fortunate it didn't go through some major residential areas and that there wasn't any loss of life."
Yvonne Tucker was watching news coverage of the storms on Saturday night at her home in the Pinaire Mobile Home park. She said Sunday she joined about 50 people, including her son and a friend, in the park's storm shelter for several minutes.
Tucker thought about returning to her home, but when she got outside, she looked up and saw "a dark funnel cloud in the air."
She said Sunday she was "going day-by-day" and trying to gather some clothes for herself and her son.
"Iran back into the shelter and as soon as we all got in ... that's when it hit," Tucker said. "You just really heard a big boom... and the lights went out and there were babies crying and the gas smell, so we stayed down there for quite a while."
Gov. Sam Brownback said in a statement Sunday that Kansas residents appeared to have taken the storm warnings seriously.
Brownback, who issued a declaration of disaster emergency early Sunday, said the state was fortunate to have escaped fatalities. He said residents responded to the storm warnings and took cover.
"They did everything they could to protect themselves and their families. These actions may have saved many lives," Brownback said.
TORNADOES
Storm damages aircraft manufacturers in Kansas
Boeing says the storms that started late Saturday damaged at least three of the company's buildings in Wichita. Boeing spokeswoman Yvonne Johnson-Jones said Sunday that the company is still assessing the damage and isn't commenting yet on whether any of its aircraft were damaged.
WICHITA, Kan. — Wichita aircraft manufacturing sites were damaged in the heavy weekend storms and tornadoes that hit the area.
Spirit AeroSystems spokeswoman Debbie Gann said some of that company's building sustained significant damage.
The Wichita Eagle reports that one of Hawker Beechcraft's buildings lost part of a roof and repairs were under way Sunday.
A tornado in Wichita also damaged McConnell Air Force Base and a mobile home park. The storms also struck in Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma, where five people died.

NHL
Flyers rally from behind to sweep third win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA— Fists were flying faster than shots on goal. Sidney Crosby and Claude Giroux even became knotted in the pushing, pulling and shoving, a pair of superstars willing to mix it up to prove which team was the baddest on the ice and the scoreboard.
The Penguins and Flyers talked trash, laid the smack down, and played one wildly entertaining game. The result was still the same. The Flyers rallied from another early deficit for a decisive Game 3 victory that placed them on the brink of an improbable sweep.
"Our goal is to finish it right away," Briere said.
Danny Briere, Matt Read and Max Talbot each scored two goals to lead Philadelphia to an 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday in a fight-filled game in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal.
The goals might be hard to find on a highlight reel. This one was all about the brawls more suitable for a UFC card. Three players were tossed in the first period. There was a rare fight between superstars when Crosby squared off against Giroux.
No one got the better end of that scrap. But by the end, Flyers fans serenaded the Penguins with booming chants of "You can't beat us!"
"All three games were kind of weird games," Giroux said. "I guess I like weird games because we always finish by winning."
Giroux and Wayne Simmonds also scored to help the Flyers take a 3-0 lead in the combustible best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Philadelphia. The Flyers scored 20 goals in the first three games.
Jordan Staal and James Neal
scored twice for a Penguins team pushed to the limit by its hated, intrastate rival. Marc-Andre Fleury was benched after allowing six goals in two periods. He has allowed a whopping 17 goals in the first three games.
Philadelphia Fliers won its third game in a best of seven series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. If the Fliers win the next game they will advance to the Easter Conference semifinals.
Coach Dan Bylsma said Fleury would start, "the next four games."
Hard to imagine at this rate, especially with NHL scoring leader Evgeni Malkin (109 points) yet to score a goal for the Penguins.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Flyers played a postseason video that billed their run as the "Fight to the Cup." They never expected a first period that would have left those old Broad Street Bullies smiling.
Each team had their top defenseman — Pittsburgh's Kris Letang and Philadelphia's Kimmo Timonen — tossed. So was Penguins forward Arron Asham.
But the scene ripped straight out of the pages of Ripley's came when Giroux and Crosby went at it against the backboard.
penalized for roughing.
"In the end, that's really playoff hockey," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "A couple of the best players in the world dropping the gloves going at it. Would I rather have G keep his gloves on? Sure. But when he's fighting Sidney Crosby, that's playoff hockey. That's this series."
While the 20,092 fans dressed in their matching Hulk Hogan-inspired orange T-shirts roared, Timonen and Letang exchanged shots, and Voracek and Pittsburgh's Steve Sullivan each were

Crosby ignited the scrum when he twice jabbed goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's glove against the ice. Giroux, third in the NHL in points this season, shoved Crosby from behind. Crosby, clearly not caring about his history of concussions, retaliated by shoving Giroux's head against the glass.
Timonen and Letang were both hit with 5 minutes for fighting and were ejected because they were assessed a major penalty after the original fight had started.
Crosby insisted the Penguins weren't getting rattled.
"There's more than one team getting in those things," he said. "You can make a story all you want about us getting frustrated. They're doing the same things we are. It's intense."
The on-ice violence was just warming up.
Flyers forward Brayden Schenn rammed Paul Martin into the boards, turned around and was crosschecked in the upper body by Asham. Asham jumped a defenseless Schenn and connected with a vicious right to earn the match penalty — a penalty imposed on a player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner. Asham could get suspended for the punch.
As the game wound down, Crosby yanked the back of Scott Hartnell's jersey and the fireworks went off again. Simmonds, Neal and Pittsburgh's Craig Adams also were socked with penalties.
The slugfest on the ice overshadowed the one on the scoreboard.
Staal scored only 3:52 into the game to give the Penguins the first goal for the third straight game. It marked the 13th time out of the last 15 games the Flyers have trailed 1-0. At that point, the Flyers had been outscored 7-1 in the first period in this series.
The Flyers rallied from a 3-0 hole in Game 1, and deficits of 2-0 and 3-1 in Game 2.
They did it again. Talbot tapped a rebound toward Fleury that the Penguins goalie tried to stab at with his glove. The puck trickled
by for the tying goal.
Briere scored consecutive goals off a 5-on-3 power play and a one-timer to leave Fleury reeling.
"I thought the first two games in Pittsburgh were crazy," he said. "This one was even wilder."
Neal scored the first of his two goals to make it 3-2. Read ended the period when he snagged the puck behind the net, skated around and buried it for a 4-2 lead.
Crosby and Bryzgalov jawed at each other as the teams skated toward the locker room.
Philadelphia's lead stood even as the 108-point Penguins attacked with their offense instead of their fists in the second period.
Neal and Read swapped goals to open the second. Steal knocked in a rebound to help the Penguins close to 5-4.
Simmonds, though, took a perfect entry pass from Braydon Coburn and backhanded in the fast-break attempt for the insurance goal. That was their third power-play goal and the Flyers also had a short-handed score.
The Penguins were assessed 46 penalty minutes, and the Flyers 34. through the first two periods.
"I don't like them, because I don't like any guy on their team," Crosby said.
Flury, having a series to forget, was replaced by Brent Johnson to open the third. New goalie, same result. Giroux scored 27 seconds into the third on Philadelphia's first shot of the period.
The scoring continued and so did the hard hits. Neal flattened Game 2 star Sean Couturier in the waning minutes and sent the Flyers rookie center to the locker
room. Players from both teams
- including Schenn and Crosby
— had to be separated during a melee along the boards. Neal appeared to target Giroux's head in the third, though the Flyers star ducked and landed softly on the ice.
"We saw Neal going after Sean's head and Claude's head," Briere said. "Obviously, he had a plan in mind."
It's a plan Bylsma wants to avoid.
"The way the game was called, there was a lot of extracurricular activity during and after the plays," he said. "That's an area of the game we want to stay away from. We don't want to be involved in those situations against this team."

Jeter, Nova lead Yankees in victory over Angels Sunday
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter hit a three-run homer to extend his fast start and Ivan Nova won his 14th straight decision, leading the New York Yankees to an 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday night.
Raul Ibanez added a titanic homer
and Jeter also doubled during a four-run rally to help the Yankees take two of three in an early series between high-priced teams expected to challenge for the American League pennant.
The prime-time crowd for a nationally televised game included Tim Tebow and Dwyane Wade, who sat side by side wearing Yankees caps in
the third row next to the Los Angeles dugout. The new backup quarterback for the New York Jets, Tebow was mostly booed when he was shown on the giant video board — but he cracked a smile anyway.
New York spoiled the season debut of Jerome Williams, chased in the third inning, while sending Albert Pujols and the Angels to their
sixth defeat in eight games. The $240 million slugger went 1 for 5 with an RBI single in the seventh that cut it to 8-5, but David Robertson retired Mark Trumbo on a bases-loaded fly to end the iming.
Pujols is still looking for his first home run with his new team. He's gone nine games without one, his longest drought to start a season.
Howie Kendrick had a triple, a double and a bunt single for the Angels, his second consecutive three-hit game. Needing a home run for the cycle — the longtime Yankees nemesis hit one Saturday — he nearly got it with a drive that barely sliced foul in the eighth.
On the next pitch, Kendrick grounded out.
NBA
Nova (2-0) struck out eight over six innings, fanning Kendrick, Pujols and Torii Hunter in succession in the third. Often the beneficiary of big run support, the 25-year-old right-hander hasn't lost in the regular season since the Angels beat him 3-2 on June 3.
Heat beat Knicks to claim Southeast Division title
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The Miami Heat finally came to Madison Square Garden, a sea of orange surrounding them in what looked like a playoff game.
Maybe that's all it took to bring out their best on the road.
LeBron James had 29 points and 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 28 points and nine boards, and the Heat overcame Carmelo Anthony's 42 points to beat the New York Knicks 93-85 on Sunday to clinch the Southeast Division title.
"This is obviously a lot of our favorite places to play, but I think it came at a good time for us," Wade said. "We were struggling, as in to play a complete game on the road, and what better place to come in and focus then here, where this team has been playing well and can embarrass you if you don't play your game. So understanding that this could obviously be a first-round matchup as well, I thought today we came in, we didn't play amazing, but played good enough to win the game. We did a lot of good things, so it was a good time for it."
Originally scheduled to be here in November, the Heat's lone regular-season game in New York came with the compressed regular season coming to a close — and with a chance they'll be back again soon.
Chris Bosh finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Heat, who pulled away in the fourth quarter of a possible playoff preview. Miami is
second in the Eastern Conference and the Knicks came into the game tied for seventh, although they fell back behind Philadelphia after the loss.
Anthony had only two baskets in the fourth quarter, perhaps tired from playing 43 minutes and with James switching over to defend him after Anthony had overwhelmed Shane Battier. New York had its rinkgame home winning streak snapped.
Anthony had the Knicks hoping he could pull out another game against a power team after scoring a season-high 43 last Sunday in overtime against Chicago. His tip-in gave New York a two-point lead with 9½ minutes left, but by the time he had his other field goal on a 3-pointer with 1:28 remaining, Miami had opened an 11-point cushion.
"It was all a blur. I don't even know what happened. It just happened so fast. They made some tough shots down the stretch the last couple of minutes of the game, the last six minutes of the game," Anthony said. "We couldn't make shots. We had some good looks. Couldn't make them. Didn't make them."
JR Smith scored 16 points for the Knicks, who lost all three games against the Heat. Still without the injured Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin, New York didn't have the firepower to match Miami's Big Three for 48 minutes.
Wade moved easily and shot 10 of 18 after missing the last game to rest his ankle. Miami has won two in a row after back-to-back losses last
"It's all about perseverance and just continuing to stay with it," Bosh said. "We know we're a great road team, we just have to go out there and prove it night in and night out and I think were going to do a better job and continue to play well, and hopefully this will give us some momentum."
week against Boston and Chicago.
"We got some defensive stops in Chicago, but were unable to close it out," James said. "Tonight we were able to make some shots from the floor and then come back down and get some big stops."
Despite their talent, the Heat haven't measured up on the road in recent weeks, perhaps the biggest concern about them heading into the postseason. They are only 17-13 outside Miami and hadn't beaten a team with a winning record in nearly a month.
Miami held a few nine-point leads in the third, but the Knicks cut it to three by period's end, then got a tying 3-pointer from Steve Novak to open the fourth and Landry Fields followed with a basket to put New York ahead in the opening minute.
It was close for the next six minutes before Wade and James hit jumpers after Joel Anthony tipped in a miss, a flurry of six straight points that gave Miami an 87-80 lead. The Knicks, relying on jumpers most of the game, simply couldn't hit any, and lacked much inside presence when Tyson Chandler appeared slowed by knee pain after landing awkwardly in the third quarter.

Junior Jesse Vaughn was hoping to reach his goal of throwing the javelin 215 feet (65.5 meters) at some point this season. Instead, he surpassed his goal by 10 feet on Saturday at the UTEP Invitational with a throw that traveled 225 feet (68.57 meters). Such a far throw that it was even a bit surprising to Vaughn himself, who said the throw will give him a boost of confidence going into the Kansas Relays.
"It gives me some confidence to go with. Hopefully the weather will be better in Kansas so we can get some really good marks." Vaughn, a native of Tucumseh, said.
According to Vaughn, the wind was gusting upwards of 38 miles per hour during the preliminary throws, creating some tricky conditions for the throwers. In the finals, the wind actually died down a little and Vaughn was able to make the best throw of his javelin career.
The weather conditions thus far this season have made it difficult for coach Stanley Redwine to judge some of his team's events.
"I think there are some events that haven't run to their potential simply because of the weather" Coach Redwine said.
There were several individual and team performances that excited coach Redwine, aside from the javelin throw from Jesse Vaughn. The women's team had a very impressive day on the track as well.
"Paris Daniels did exceptionally
well. The women's 4x100, I thought, did a phenomenal job." Redwine said. "We had some performances that certainly rank high in the nation that we're excited about."
Junior Paris Daniels improved her performance from last week's Emporia State Invitational with her best race of the year in the 200-meter, the race in which she won a Junior College national title last year. With a time of 23.13 seconds, Daniels reached the B-provisional qualification mark for the Olympic trials in June. At the time, Daniels was unaware of what exactly she had accomplished.
"I actually didn't even know" Daniels said. "My teammates, as we were getting off the bus told me that I made the B-mark for the Olympic trials."
Daniels also ran the first leg of the women's 4x100-meter relay for her team, which ran a school record time of 44.45 seconds. Long jumper and spinner junior Francine Simpson ran the second leg and passed to junior Danesha Morris. By the time it was sophomore Diamond Dixon's turn to finish off the relay, the team already had a large lead. Dixon ran into a strong head wind to achieve the school record and victory for the four girls.
"I think we'll get better as the season goes on." Daniels said of her 4x100-meter relay team, fully aware that they had just set a new school record.

Kansas ends losing streak with victory against Texas A&M
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
Suffering from an eight-game losing streak and playing the No. 2 team in the country, the Kansas baseball team (13-23, 3-9) needed a solid start from junior starting pitcher Thomas Taylor.
Taylor (4-4, 3-7) is the only upperclassman in the Jayhawks' starting rotation. The team needed him to lead Sunday afternoon against the Texas A&M Aggies (28-8, 9-3).
Things didn't start as planned for Taylor; he gave up a run in the first inning. But then something clicked, and he started sending Aggie hitters
back to their dugout. After the first inning, only six Aggies reached base off of Taylor.
"I struggled a little bit with my command early in the game," Taylor said. "From then on out, I just tried to throw strikes and pitch to contact with the wind blowing in today."
Kansas answered with two runs

The Jayhawk baseball team rushes to congratulate their relief pitcher, Tanner Poppe, a junior from Girard, after he pitched the ninth inning against the Aggies at Hoglund Ballpark on Sunday afternoon. Poppe withstood pressure from the jeering Aggie fans in the stadium after he allowed two Aggie runs in the ninth before he delivered a 3rd out, winning the game for the Jayhawks.

But the story of the day was Taylor's ability to shut down a potent A&M offense. He threw seven innings, allowing just one run on four hits, three walks and two hit batters. Taylor also struck out four batters.
in the bottom half of the inning and never looked back. They went on to win the game 5-3.
Entering last week, A&M posted the 22nd-highest team batting average .308) and scored the 25th most runs in the country (218).
Sunday, the Aggies hit just .160 (4-for-25) off of Taylor. He used his fastball to get ahead of A&M hitters early in counts. Once he was ahead in the count, Taylor went to his off-speed pitches to help finish off hitters.
"Obviously they're a great team, they showed that the first two games," Taylor said. "We just wanted to come out here and not be afraid and just attack them. We wanted to show them that we could play with them despite our record."
The Aggies got their leadoff man on base only once in seven innings against Taylor. Junior designated hitter Matt Juengel ripped a single back up the middle.
Taylor got out of a jam with runners on first and third in his last inning; striking out the last batter he faced looking. He left the game with a 5-1 lead.
Kansas not only needed a strong
"He was lights out today," senior catcher James Stanfield said of Taylor. "Late in the game, he really hunkered down and that was huge for us."
outing from Taylor for psychological reasons, but also for physical ones. The Kansas bullpen was depleted from the two previous games in the series, and coach Ritch Price said he only planned on using Taylor and junior closer Tanner Poppe for Sunday's game.
"He had to go seven innings," Price said. "It was a two-man game, whenever Taylor left it was going to be Poppe after that."
Kansas will look to build off this victory when the team plays the Texas Longhorns in a three-game series this weekend.
"It's huge," Taylor said. "Going into Texas next weekend, this is a huge confidence boost. We just showed we can play with the best in the country, and we just have to keep that in mind."

Team struggles to perform on difficult course
TREVOR GRAFF
fgraff@kansan.com
The Jayhawks finished day one in seventh place in the 14-team field, but slipped to 12th on day two. Junior Chris Gilbert finished tied for ninth with a two-over pat total of 212 strokes.
The Kansas men's golf team finished 12th in the 66th Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif.
"He played absolutely rock solid," coach Kit Grove said. "He's been great from tee to green. Now he finally getting a little bit of confidence in the putter. It was a stacked field and he played shot-for-shot with them."
Gilbert finished the tournament with his third top ten in four weeks. His performance kept him in contention amongst a field that included the GCAA's top-ranked Texas Longhorns, third-ranked California and fourth ranked UCLA. Gilbert felt no pressure among the wealth of talent.
"I just worry about thinking how I think on the course, and focusing on the course." Gilbert said. "The rest will take care of itself, I just try to hit a solid shot every time I stand up there."
The course at Pasatiempo Golf Club was as tough as players expected entering the tournament. The Alister MacKenzie designed greens had difficult approaches leaving many hole locations nearly unplayable. With the degree of difficulty a bit higher than normal, players had to rely on stronger course management.
"It's like nothing you're ever going
to see." Grove said. "There's hole locations you just can't get it close. You hit some great shots and end up in bad positions, and it such a thinking golf course. That's where we got killed today as a team. Yesterday we were good at grinding out bogeys, today we were just awful at that."
The course fit Gilbert's style of play well.
"I think the key was being decisive on every shot and knowing, if you didn't hit your target, where you wanted to miss." Gilbert said. "I thought if I could limit my double bogies, I could limit my shots and everyone was going to make bogies on this course."
Senior Doug Quinones and junior Alex Gutesha finished tied for 48th and tied for 66th respectively. Both started off poorly after Quinones triple-boyeged the second hole and Gutesha double-boyeged the first.
Freshman Dylan McClure finished tied for 69th at 24 strokes over par. Sophomore Brice Brown finished for 74th at 27 strokes over par and freshman David Auer completed the lineup finishing tied for 80th at 30 strokes over par.
The Jayhawks move into the post season with the Big 12 tournament in Trinity, Texas April 27 to 29.
"You're not going to see anything harder in conference," Grove said. "That course is as mentally grueling as it's going to be. Hopefully they can learn from it, and hit the ground running in the Big 12."

Royals' center fielder forced to pitch against the Indians
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mitch Maier didn't particularly want to be on the mound. Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost didn't really want to see him there, either, but figured it was the best option.
In the ninth inning in a blowout loss to the Cleveland Indians, Yost moved Maier from center field and put him in to pitch to preserve an overworked bullpen.
"Let's hope it doesn't happen again," Maier said after the 13-7 defeat. "I don't like to be put in that situation, but we needed an inning."
It was the 11th time in Royals' history they've used a position player on the mound. It was Maier's second
time, joining Jerry Terrell and Joe Simpson as the only Royals position players to do it more than once
Maier threw a scoreless immin at Boston last year.
The Indians led 13-5 when Maier entered. He worked around a hit and was the only one of the four Royals pitchers not to allow a run.
"I was a lot less nervous this time," Maier said. "I wasn't trying to do anything fancy or throw curveballs or anything. I just wanted to throw strikes."
With the Royals' starting pitchers allowing 24 hits and 21 runs in 10 2-3 innings in the three losses, the bullpen was summoned often.
"Mitch saved us," Yost said. "Louis Coleman saved us. If we had to go
to one of the other guys that would have been two days in a row for them and they would be unavailable for us Monday."
Coleman, who was recalled Sunday from Triple-A Omaha, threw a career-high 57 pitches in three innings. He gave up home runs on back-to-back pitches to Casey Kotchman and Jason Kipnis in the eighth.
Travis Hafner hit one of the longest home runs in Kauffman Stadium history and Shelly Duncan homered and drove in three runs for Cleveland.
For the first time in the Indians' 111-year history, they scored at least eight runs in their first three road games of a season.

inning off Luis Mendoza went an estimated 456 feet and was the first to land in a sports bar behind the right-field bleachers. It was the longest home run at Kauffman Stadium since David Ortiz, then with Minnesota, hit one 458 feet on April 8, 2001.
"I've seen a lot of games here and I haven't seen a ball hit that far," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "That was pretty impressive. He's hit two balls already that the people in Cleveland were used to seeing before he hurt his shoulder (in 2008)."
Hafner went 3 for 4 and drew an intentional walk. Duncan hit a three-run homer in the Indians' six-run third inning and walked in his next three plate-appearances.
Ubaldo Jimenez (0-1), who had not pitched since April 7 while serving a five-game suspension from a spring training incident against Colorado, gave up four runs on nine hits and three walks in five innings to pick up the victory.
Mendoza (0-2) was pulled after four-plus innings, permitting nine runs — five earned — on nine hits and four walks.
"It's not the way we wanted to open up at home," Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "It would say a lot about this team if we could bounce back."
The Royals will try to snap a four-game losing streak Monday against Detroit and 2011 Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander.

Longhorns prove too powerful for Jayhawks
KANSAS
Infielder Mariah Montgomery attempts to bunt in the bottom of the third with runners on first and second. Montgomery would end up walking to first to load up the bases. The Jayhawks lost both games in the double header against the Texas Longhorns on Friday night and were 0-3 in the overall series against Texas this weekend.
ALEC TILSON

TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
GAME ONE
The Kansas softball team was six outs away from defeating No. 5 Texas in the second of its three-game series this weekend, but the Longhorns' potent offense combined with a defensive error spoiled a potential victory.
Kansas (26-15, 3-12) posted an impressive offensive weekend, scoring 14 runs and matching Texas (35-5, 9-3) with 23 hits, but the Longhorns overpowered Kansas and swept the Jayhawks at Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas never mounted a serious threat to Texas after freshman infielder Chanin Naudin batted in a run in the first inning to give the Jayhawks a 1-0 lead.
Texas' senior infielder Nadia Taylor hit her first of two home runs in the game to lead off the top of the second, an impressive opposite field shot, and helped Texas take a 3-1 lead.
"I think in some situations we just get too passive," said senior outfielder Liz Kocon. "We need to go out there and attack the pitches we can attack."
Kansas' junior pitcher Morgan Druhan kept KU within striking distance, trailing 4-1 through five innings, despite walking 10 batters on 175 pitches.
Then Texas' offense exploded for four runs in the sixth and seventh innings to take a 12-1 lead.
Kansas would score two in the bottom of the seventh when freshman catcher Lexi Bryant roped a double to left center, but the damage was done and Kansas lost 12-3.
GAME TWO
This was the one Kansas could taste. This was the one that got away.
Kansas held a 5-4 lead entering the top of the sixth, two innings from defeating a top team in the
country and, perhaps, a season-defining victory.
KU battled back from a three-run first inning deficit, outhit the Big 12's leading offensive team and appeared to control the momentum.
Then, the game began to unravel.
Texas' senior infielder Lexy Bennett, who leads the conference with a .427 batting average, led off the sixth by lining a solo home run to center field and tying the game at five.
"It was a pitch that missed its spot," coach Megan Smith said. "We were trying to pitch around her a little bit and it hung. She's a
great hitter; give her credit."
Hull came back with a one-out
The Longhorns' next two batters reached base and advanced to second and third on a wild pitch, but Kansas' freshman pitcher Alicia Pille retired the next two batters.
The mishap seemed out of character for Hull, who hadn't committed an error all season entering the weekend.
With two outs, Texas' sophomore Mandy Ogle lined a sharp single to junior outfielder Maggie Hull, who mishandled the ball, allowing the second runner to score unearned and giving Texas a 7-5 lead.
double to the gap in right in the bottom half of the inning, but Kansas couldn't rally, falling to Texas 7-5.
Still, Smith was pleased with the team's effort.
"We feel good about the fight we have," Smith said. "We were right there with them fighting."
GAME THREE
Naudin answered in the bottom half, squeezing a homerun inside the foul pole in left field as it became apparent the 20-plus
Texas' junior infielder Taylor Hoagland, the school's all-time home run leader, homered on the first pitch of the game.
mph winds would carry most fly balls.
Texas scored its second run on a throwing error by Bryant and took a 2-1 lead into the fifth inning, before putting up a sevenspot and taking a 10-1 lead.
Up against the run-rule, Kansas rallied in the bottom half and put up five runs of its own on Texas' pitcher Blair Luna. Luna entered the series with a 1.84 ERA and left with a 2.51.
"Offensively we were great," Hull said. "To come out against one of the best pitching staffs in the nation and put up that many hits consistently, then instead of ending it in five we
kept fighting."
Texas went on to win 13-6, but only seven of those runs were earned. Again, several balls got away from the Jayhawks, which committed three errors.
"In the Big 12 you can't make defensive errors," Hull said. "We made too many and that cost us two games."

Lakers win fourth-straight game without Kobe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Andrew Bynum had 23 points and 16 rebounds, Pau Gasol made back-to-back 3-pointers in overtime, and the Los Angeles Lakers won their fourth straight game without Kobe Bryant, 112-108 over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
Metta World Peace had 18
Ramon Sessions scored 22 points, and Gasol had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who are 4-1 while the NBA's leading scorer rests his bruised shin.
points as Los Angeles rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit before finishing off a four-game season sweep of the defending champion Mavericks, who swept the Lakers out of last season's playoffs.
Dirk Nowitzki had 24 points on 9-of-28 shooting and 14 rebounds, but Jason Terry missed a potential tying layup at the rim with five seconds left in overtime for the Mavericks, whose three-game winning streak ended. Delonte West scored 20 points, and Terry had 21 before missing a shot while trying to avoid Matt
Barnes' defense.
Gasol added two free throws with 0.5 seconds left in the Lakers' fifth straight regular-season win over Dallas.
The Lakers boosted their lead over the Clippers atop the Pacific Division to one and a half games with six to play. The Lakers also have the tiebreaker edge on their next-door rivals.
Dallas nursed a lead down the fourth-quarter stretch before the Lakers made a 14-6 run, taking the lead on Sessions' 3-pointer with 3:24 left. After Dallas tied it
at 98 on Terry's jumper with 55 seconds left, Sessions missed an awkward shot with 1.5 seconds to play, and Nowitzki clanged a 3-point attempt off the back rim at the buzzer.
In the second half, Bynum
Bynum has been fighting a respiratory infection, and he got off to an 0-for-5 start that matched the Lakers' early effort. Los Angeles missed 10 of its first 12 shots while the Mavericks jumped to an early 10-point lead propelled by West, who scored 16 points in the first half.
returned to the dominant form he showed while getting 30 rebounds and scoring 30 points in consecutive games, a feat last accomplished by Moses Malone in 1982.
After getting treatment during tipoff, Bryant sat on the Lakers' bench again, shouting instructions and cheering his teammates. If Bryant plans to return soon, Los Angeles has just five games remaining, including Tuesday's visit from San Antonio, before the postseason.

THE MORNING BREW As Playoffs intensify, so do the beards
ESPN.COM
It starts as a five oclock shadow but progresses rapidly as the victories pile up. Eventually, when the men step out onto the ice before each game, they look like they have been eschewing modern society for the isolation of a cabin deep in the woods that runs on a wooden furnace and has no electricity or running water.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
With hockey playoffs in full swing, it's only a matter of time before the playoff beards begin to pop-up on the television screens. The intensity of playoff hockey is unmatched. At any moment, the puck could take a weird bounce, deflecting off an unsuspecting skate, shin guard, or even helmet and ricochet into the goal, moving one team on, and sending another home.
And as the beards grow thicker, so does the intensity.
Playoff beards have long been a favorite tradition of mine. They remind me of times when men could still be men. When they wouldn't go around lying in tanning beds, waxing their chests or
wearing jeans that fit a little too tight.
Legend has it that the playoff beard started on the New York Islanders of the early 1980s. The Islanders played many games in a few nights, and simply never found time to shave. They went on to win four consecutive Stanley Cups, and the tradition was born.
Of course, not every hockey player is capable of growing a beard straight out of the 19th century. Younger players, such as former NHL MVP Sidney Crosby, who was just 21 years old when he hoisted the
cup, particularly struggle with growing playoff beards. Instead of a full beard, Crosby famously had barely more than a thin moustache and a chinstrap that couldn't connect to the chin.
But for every Sidney Crosby, there are two Jean-Sebastian Gigueres, whose legend grows with their beards. In 2003, Giguere, then a goaltender for the Anaheim Might Ducks (now known simply as the Ducks), backstopped his seventh seeded team to the Stanley Cup Finals. Both he and his wife hated his beard, but he kept it going until the Ducks were finally eliminated in game seven.
Despite losing, Giguere was rewarded for his excellent play in the tournament by winning the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoff MVP despite not winning the Stanley cup.
But that's the great thing about the NHL playoffs, despite the seven-game series, any team can beat any other, especially when their goaltender catches fire
KU
and his outstanding play can light a spark in his team deep into the playoffs.
Currently, out in the western division, the eight-seeded Los Angeles Kings hold the series lead over the one-seed San Jose Kings.
With every team playing tough defensively, games frequently enter sudden death overtime, where at any moment, one team's Stanley Cup dreams can die.
And when those dreams die, executives at Gillette, Schick and other razor companies rejoice, knowing that their product is being used once again.

The Ben McLemore experience will officially and finally begin.
But the player I'm most excited to watch is one that dressed in street clothes at every Kansas game last season: Ben McLemore.
In all honesty, though, Self didn't sign McLemore to be a lockdown defender.
McLemore will throw a couple dunks down. Sleepy eyes in Allen Fieldhouse will suddenly open wide.
The first time we'll get to see McLemore in action on James Naismith Court is Oct. 12 for Late Night in the Phog. The players will jog out of the tunnel and form layup lines. Those layup lines will slowly evolve into dunk lines.
Jeff Withey and Elijah Johnson: Two guys who showed flashes of stardom during Kansas' tournament run, will form the core. Travis Releford will play his old-man game, pivoting around defenders and locking down the other team's best scorer.
Never too early. right?
COMMENTARY
The next big star for Self
By Clark Goble cgoble@kansan.com
It's the middle of April in Lawrence, and we all know what that means: It's time to talk about next year's basketball team.
Incoming freshman Perry Ellis is a McDonald's All-American. Bill Self didn't have one last year. Anrio Adams, Andrew White and Jamari Traylor could also get minutes next year.
He's 6-foot-5, weighs 185 pounds and has made YouTube hits out of more than a couple hopeless post defenders trying to block his dunk. He doesn't really jump. He floats, then falls back to Earth.
Edited by Max Lush
One of my friends got to watch McLemore in a practice one day and came away convinced that he had the most NBA Draft potential of anyone in the gym. And yes, Thomas Robinson was at practice that day.
On an NBA TV segment on Friday night, former Kansas coach Larry Brown linked McLemore's athletic ability during Kansas practices to Russell Westbrook's while he was at UCLA.
To earn starter's minutes, McLemore will need to work on his defense. He told the Lawrence Journal-World a week ago that he struggled to keep up with Tyshawn Taylor in early practices.

McLemore may not be as talented, but if a former NBA coach looks at McLemore and connects him to Westbrook — one of the 10 most talented players in the NBA — that's incredible news for Kansas fans.
Some people got to see his athletic ability in action during practices this season.

STREAK SNAPPED
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The victory snapped a season-long eight-game losing streak and improved the Jayhawks to 13-23 and 3-9 in the Big 12. After showing signs of improvement in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Aggies, the Kansas offense put together a complete performance on Sunday.
The Kansas baseball team salvaged the final game of the weekend's series against No. 2 Texas A&M with a 5-3 victory at Hoglund Ballpark.
"I'm hoping this will be the one that gets us over the hump and takes our confidence to the next level," coach Ritch Price said. "It really starts with our experienced guys today."
Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor struggled with his command in the first inning, and after a Matt Juengel RBI single, the Jayhawks found themselves in the typical position of playing from behind.
Texas A&M's starting pitching staff dominated the Kansas hitters for much of the weekend as the Jayhawks did not score a run in the series' first 15 innings. With undefeated Rafael Pineda on the mound for Texas A&M, the Jayhawks jumped to a 2-1 lead following a pair of basesloaded singles from senior third baseman Zac Elgie and junior second baseman Jordan Dreiling.
"It was good to stop them right away," Dreiling said. "When you're playing a team like that and give them a couple runs, next thing you know it'll be 6-0. It was huge to go out there and take the momentum back."
Dreiling went 2-for-4 on Saturday, and he followed up with another multi-hit effort on Sunday. The offense continued to put pressure on Texas A&M, and an RBI single from senior catcher James Stanfield in the sixth inning extended the lead to 4-1. Kansas scored another run in the seventh, heading into ninth with a 5-1 lead.
Kansas' patience at the plate increased drastically on Sunday. Kansas batters walked just four times in the previous two games
against Texas A&M, but the Jayhawks collected seven walks on Sunday. The improved plate discipline forced Texas A&M to go to the bullpen often, using six reliefs pitchers after Pineda's five innings of work.
"We laid off the off-speed pitches a whole lot more today, and we were much more selective," Stanfield said. "In the end, that gets us our pitch that we need to hit."
Texas A&M holds the No. 2 ranking for a reason, and the
Aggies nearly completed a ninth- inning comeback against junior closer Tanner Poppe. Texas A&M scored two runs in the ninth inning off a Jacob House RBI single and a wild pitch.
With two outs and the bases loaded, senior catcher Troy Stein had an opportunity to give Texas A&M the lead, but Poppe threw a fastball right by Stein for the game-ending strikeout. The Hoglund Ballpark crowd of 1,103 and the Kansas dugout erupted as the frustrating losing streak
met its end.
"I don't even know how to explain it," Stanfield said. "When I caught that last pitch for strike three, it was like a weight vest just fell on the ground."
The Jayhawks will look to capitalize this week against St. Mary and Baker - two NAIA schools in Kansas - before traveling to Austin, Texas, to face the No. 23 Longhorns.

One more chance.
If the Kansas women's tennis team plans on winning a Big 12 dual match in 2012, it only has one more match to do so. Losses over the weekend to a pair of the league's weaker teams surely didn't help matters for the lavhawks.
The Jayhaws (9-10, 0-8 in the Big 12) dropped road matches to No. 45 Missouri, 4-3, and Iowa State, 6-1, moving them to the bottom of the conference standings.
"We've just got to keep fighting," sophomore Claire Dreyer said. "I know it's discouraging looking at that, but we just seriously need to start getting at it. We're capable of doing this. We just have to believe for real."
Kansas snagged the doubles point early in Friday's match against rival Mizzou, sealed by a 9-8 (5) tiebreaker victory at the No.2 spot for sophomore Paulina Los and freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Dylan Windom won had the other doubles win, an 8-4 rout.
Friday match was the first time in nearly four weeks where the Jayhawks won the doubles point, and it was the team's first in Big 12 play this season.
"The most important point is the doubles point," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "After getting the doubles point, it's always easier to go to the singles matches because of confidence."
But the Tigers bounced back
quickly, reeling off four straight singles wins to own what may be the final tennis chapter of the Border Showdown rivalry.
Windom and Dreyer's wins at the No. 4 and 5 spots only made the final score appear more competitive.
KU took the doubles point yet again in the 6-1 loss to Iowa State, but failed to pull out any singles matches. Before the match, the Cyclones were the only other team in
the big 12 without a dual match victory in conference play.
The Jayhawks' final opportunity to win a regular season conference match will come Saturday against the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan. Kansas State is one of three Big 12 teams not ranked, along with Kansas and Iowa State. The Wildcats currently sit at 3-5 in conference dual play.
"We have to win," Khanevskaya

said. "We cannot lose this match because it's winnable. We're always able, but I would say with this match we must win."
Five days later, all Big 12 teams will head to College Station, Texas to compete in this year's Big 12 Championships, which run from April 26-29.
FOOTBALL
Kansas adds another Notre Dame player
Former Notre Dame linebacker Anthony McDonald announced Friday that he is transferring to Kansas. Since McDonald sat out his freshman season and is graduating with a degree in sociology from
Notre Dame in May, he will be eligible to play for the Jayhawks immediately.
McDonald is the second player who
McDonald
played under Kansas coach Charlie Weis at Notre Dame to come to Kansas. He will be joining former Notre Dame and high school teammate senior quarterback Dayne Crist when he arrives in June.
McDonald played in the U.S. Army All-American bowl following his senior year of high school, and Scout.com ranked him as the eighth-best middle linebacker in his class. During his four seasons with Notre Dame, McDonald played in 28 games. He played in all 12 games of the 2009 season, and he played 11 games in 2010, but McDonald appeared in only four games in 2011 because of injuries. In one of McDonald's game appearances last season, he recorded three tackles against Navy.
By adding McDonald, Weis' first recruiting class at Kansas has 25 players, 14 of whom transferred from another NCAA institution or a junior college.

Editor's Note
I came back to my apartment late one night after a long day of work. It was near the end of the summer and people were moving in and out of apartments because their lease was up. I walked into my bathroom and stepped into a huge puddle of water. My bathroom had flooded while I was at work. It turns out my upstairs neighbors who were moving out were cleaning their bathroom pipes with Draino. My floor and counter were covered in a nasty green and brown color. I cleaned up the mess and called maintenance.
Maintenance arrived promptly and started working on my bathroom sink right away. The worker found the issue and filled out a form explaining the work that was done.
By Kayla Banzet
kbanzet@kansan.com
On-site maintenance at apartment complexes come to an apartment and fix whatever is wrong with the apartment. Apartment complexes that have maintenance can make your life very convenient. All you have to do is pick up the phone and they will come and save you from a flooding bathroom. I have ran into quite a few disasters so far while living in my apartment. Like when my thermostat decided to quit working or the time my kitchen sink leaked underneath
the counter. Each time maintenance workers have entered my apartment and fixed the issues.
When looking for a new apartment one should consider a complex that includes onsite maintenance. Some places offer maintenance but only come to the apartment if it is an emergency.
You don't always have to call maintenance. Some things can be fixed by you but it's best to leave it to the professionals. If you try to fix something in your apartment by yourself you may damage the apartment and owe the complex a lot of money.

Damages to an apartment can cause issues with complex and the deposit
KAYLA BANZET
kbanzet@kansan.com
Trying to make a newhome more decorative and cozy is a top priority for many, but decorating a rented house or apartment can cost the renter his or her security deposit.
Many apartment complexes and rental homes in the Lawrence area require tenants to pay a security deposit before moving in. This deposit is to protect the owner from property damage. Jennifer Girard, assistant manager of Campus Court at Nismith, 1301 West 24th Street, said those deposits help protect the proptery and the tenant.
"It is protection for us and really the resident themselves because they aren't having that additional charge when they are moving out if their security deposit is able to cover any damages." Girard said.
Deposits can range anywhere from $100 to a payment of the first month's rent. Sometimes landlords waive the deposit fee
but expect tenants to pay for any damages upon moving out. Gordon Cave, a junior from Augusta, moved into The Reserve, on West 31st street without having to pay a deposit.
"There was a special when I signed with them." Cave said. "If I
"We use t-pins to hang up art and other items around our apartment. They do minimal damage."
use anything larger than a standard nail in the wall it is considered damage and I'll have to pay a fee."
At Campus Court, Girard said, tenants are more than welcome to decorate their apartments but when they are liable for any damage. Nails and thumbtack holes in the wall for hanging pictures usually do not leave much damage but bigger holes in the wall can be a problem
Troy Aiden, maintenance supervisor at Campus Court,said it depends on how big the wall damage is, but it can take time and money to repair a hole in a wall.
"It depends on the size and if it is a big hole you have to fix it, texture it, let it dry and paint it," Aiden said. "It can take a couple of hours."
Small thumbback and finishing nail holes are usually an easy fix for the maintenance, but even they can cost.
"We just use caulking to fill in those holes but it is time consuming if there are a lot of them," Aiden said.
If damages are excessive, tenants could not only lose their full deposit but owe a landlord more money. Fees can add up when landlords and maintenance crews fix wounded walls. On top of decorating damages, management also looks at cleanliness of the rental property.
"We have charges that we go off of in our resident handbook," Girard said. If they leave paint on the walls and never painted them back, the carpet was ruined and they didn't clean the apartment, they can look at a couple thousand dollars You don't see that commonly though."
"We're not allowed to nail anything in, but we can hang stuff up as long as it doesn't do a lot of damage," Carlson said.
ERIN CARLSON
Towanda senior
"We use t-pins to hang up art and other items around our apartment. They do minimal damage and are easy to move around."
Carlson said she had been able to buy boxes of t-pins for $5, and found that white toothpaste could cover over any
holes the pins made.
There are other alternatives to decorating without losing your deposit. Girard suggested choosing items that are light, that you can hang with smaller nails and putty that you can buy at WalMart. She said it's a better choice than putting a hole in the wall.
Using hooks with sticky backs prevents damage to walls, too.
If a resident is not planning on living in a home for long, they could save money by not decorating.
"Really I would say if you're in an apartment and you're not going to be there long I would avoid hanging things like actual pictures and just hang things like posters." Girard said. "It's going to be cheaper for you in the long run and to start out with."

LAUNDRY
Coin laundry versus laundry at home
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
Many students wonder if paying extra to do their laundry at home is worth the cost.
Having a washer and dryer at home is convenient but going to a laundry mat also has its advantages.
Alli Vorhees, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she would rather pay more for an apartment each month if it included a washer and dryer.
"It's just a lot less stressful to do your laundry in your own house," Vorhees said. "It saves me time and pressure because I don't have to rummage around for quarters every time I need to do a load."
Vorhees said she typically does laundry at least once a week. She said she doesn't have the extra time to run to a laundry mat and spend up to three hours waiting for her clothes to be done. For Emily Burnett, paying a little extra for a washer-dryer eliminates a lot of extra hassle.
"I would pay up to $30 extra to have a washer and dryer in my apartment." said Burnett, a sophomore from St. Paul, Minn.
Burnett said it would be extremely difficult for her to get to a laundry mat because she does not own a car. She also said she already has trouble getting to places like Target or the grocery store and she does not need another chore
to worry about.
"It is such a hassle to drag all of your clothes to a different location just to clean them." Burnett said.
Michael Gray, a sophomore from Toronto Canada, said he would rather save the rent money and wash his clothes at a laundry mat. Gray said it is surprising how much money you save each month by not adding the extra cost of a washer and dryer.
"I can just find quarters on the ground or use my extra change for my laundry," Gray said. "It is so much more economical than paying $20 extra a month for a washer and dryer."
For Gray, going to the laundry mat is something he looks forward to. He said that even though waiting for his laundry takes a few hours he uses that time to do things he does not normally do. Gray said he has met new friends and finished hours of homework in that spare time.
Students need to weigh out the options of paying extra for a washer and dryer in their apartment. Depending on the situation it can be very beneficial. In other cases going to the laundry mat can save money and create personal time for students to get things done.
"In my situation paying extra for having a washer and dryer at home has made my life a lot easier." Burnett said.

LELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
There are two types of grocery shoppers: the people who go to the store without planning ahead, and the people who carefully search the aisles with their grocery list in hand and their budget in mind.
Here in Lawrence, there are many grocery stores to choose from: Target, Hy-Vee, Aldi's, Dillons, The Merc and Walmart to name just a few. Many students have a personal favorite when it comes to grocery stores, though their reasons vary.
For any student, it is rewarding to buy food at the lowest price possible, and many students will choose one store over another based on price alone. Some stores, such as Dillons, provide frequent shopper cards that allow cardholders to purchase many items at a lower price.
"I like to go to Hy-Vee because of the proximity to my place and there's always a really good variety," Derek Shackelford, a sophomore from Shawnee said.
First, the distance from your fridge to the grocery store should play a role because the closer the store is,the easier it is to transport frozen foods and save time.
"I usually go to the Dillons on 6th street because it's always really cheap," said Emily Peterson, a junior from Kansas City, Mo.
Sales are another reason people keep going back to their favorite grocery store, whether a sale is on meat, cheese or any other popular grocery.
"Everything I buy I try to get while it's on sale," said Peterson. "Especially with meat — I always have meat."
Sales also allow students to indulge in their favorite buys and guilty pleasure foods.
"I don't really pay attention to when they say sales are going on, but when I go shopping I always compare prices of the name-brand stuff to the Great Value brand at Walmart," said Sarah Rettitt, a junior from Shawnee.
"I get a lot of produce, fruits and veggies more than anything," said Shackelford. "But I also have a soft spot for ice cream. I can't always get it but I do when I can."
Each of these students also had some tips for those new to grocery shopping in Lawrence.
Rettit said it is important to know how much food you like to cook and what you like to cook.
"Make a list and then get into a routine so you'll know roughly what you'll be spending," Shackelford said. "Pastas also extremely invaluable."
"Buy stuff you can make meals from over and over again," Peterson said.

Kansas snagged the doubles point early in Friday's match against rival Mizzou, sealed by a 9-8 (5) tiebreaker victory at the No. 2 spot for sophomore Paulina Los and freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Junior Monica Pezotti and sophomore Dylan Windom won had the other doubles win, an 8-4 rout.
Friday match was the first time in nearly four weeks where the Jayhawks won the doubles point, and it was the team's first in Big 12 play this season.

"The most important point is the doubles point," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "After getting the doubles point, it's always easier to go to the singles matches because of confidence."
But the Tigers bounced back
quickly, reeling off four straight singles wins to own what may be the final tennis chapter of the Border Showdown rivalry.
Windom and Dreyer's wins at the No. 4 and 5 spots only made the final score appear more competitive.
KU took the doubles point yet again in the 6-1 loss to Iowa State, but failed to pull out any singles matches. Before the match, the Cy-clones were the only other team in
the big 12 without a dual match victory in conference play.
The Jayhawks' final opportunity to win a regular season conference match will come Saturday against the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan. Kansas State is one of three Big 12 teams not ranked, along with Kansas and Iowa State. The Wildcats currently sit at 3-5 in conference dual play.

FOOD
Recipe: Easy to make comfort food at college
ANNA WENNER
awenner@kansan.com
Every person has their own version of comfort food that is dependent on their family and its meals. For me, comfort food consists of a lot of easy to make, filling meals that my family could all agree on. One such meal was Corn Chowder.
This recipe may not be the type of chowder that a true cook wants to experience. For those people like me who have managed to ruin boxed macaroni and cheese, it might be just the thing that we needed. It takes only a few minutes to make and takes no previous cooking knowledge. One batch should feed several people (between 2-5 depending on the serving sizes) or can be reheated as leftovers (it takes just as good reheated as it does freshly made).
I used to think that Corn Chowder was one of those meals that my grandmother spent a long time making, with lots of complicated ingredients. One day I learned the truth. Not only is Corn Chowder the go-to meal in my household when no one wants to spend much time cooking, it's also one of the few meals that I'll still spend time making on my own now that I'm at college.
- Edited byTanvi Nimkar
CORN CHOWDER RECIPE
In a large pot on stove heat the following (don't boil):
1 10.5 oz can of Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 can of milk (use regular milk and use the empty soup can to measure half a can)
- Add 1 approximately 15 oz can of Cream style corn (drain before adding).
- Add 1 approximately 15 oz can whole kernel corn.
- Drain and add 1 approximately 15 oz can of potatoes (chop them before adding).
- Add 1 tablespoon of dry onion flakes or a little fresh onion.
- When warm, add 2 tablespoons of oleo and salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat to desired temperature

MOVING
PAGE 15
There are many things to consider when moving from one place to the next
Students need to remember all of the steps for a smooth moving out process
STELLA LIANG
editor@kansan.com
Moving out of an apartment involves planning and decisions. First, one has to decide whether or not to resign a lease. Then, there is the issue of what to do with the furniture and other belongings. For students not staying in
Lawrence over the summer, all of those possessions have to be stored somewhere. Before moving out, an inspection also has to be done in order to determine if the student can get his or her deposit back or will be charged extra.
If the apartment complexes determine that the apartment is not clean or is not in the same shape that it was before the resident moved in, the resident will get charged.

"They get a letter," said Lori Eisenhour, leasing and marketing manager at The Reserve. "Everyone gets a move-out letter stating the

charges."
serve after this school year.
Johnson is moving out in August and says he has to get the condition of his apartment checked.
In some apartment complexes an inspection before moving out is not required. Once the residents who did not renew a lease move out, all of the empty apartments are then inspected. In other places, the inspection is done before the resident can cut ties.
"I actually like it there, but I would like a bigger living space," Johnson said. "It's nice living there for the social aspect, a lot of my friends live there, but it's kind of known as the sophomore dorms and people usually move on to a different place after one year of living there."
Jenna Baisick, the office manager at Williams Pointe and LeannaMar townhomes, says that they look for general cleanliness and dam-
"When you first move in, you have to fill out a damage report, listing the condition of everything in your room, kitchen, living room and bathroom. Then when you move out, they make sure that everything you listed is in the same condition as it was when you moved in," Johnson said. "If not, then you get charged a certain amount of money."
At Williams Pointe and LeannaMar, the charge is taken out of the deposit. It is not uncommon for residents to get charged.

"Most apartments have some kind of cleaning charge, unless it's spotless," Eisen-hour said.
Baisickagrees that most people will not get their
"It's very rare." Basisck said. "There are little things that they don't get back."
Aside from the inspection, most apartment complexes require former residents to leave a forwarding address.
The process is pretty straightforward and does not usually become a hassle.
"Having to pack everything up is really annoying, but other than that. The Reserve is pretty efficient with the move-in and move-out process," Johnson said.
As for transportation, there are different options that work better for different people. Some have to put belongings in a storage facility while others can drive it straight to a new living space.
"I am just planning on boxing everything up, putting it in my car, and making multiple trips to unpack it all," Johnson said.
After breaking down and planning out each part of the moving process, the transition does not have to be difficult.

Kansas snagged the doubles point early in Friday's match against rival Mizzou, sealed by a 9-8 (5) tiebreaker victory at the No. 2 spot for sophomore Paulina Los and freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Dylan Windom won had the other doubles win, an 8-4 rout.
Friday match was the first time in nearly four weeks where the Jayhawks won the doubles point, and it was the team's first in Big 12 play this season.
"The most important point is the doubles point," junior Victoria Khanevskaya said. "After getting the doubles point, it's always easier to go to the singles matches because of confidence."

KU took the doubles point yet again in the 6-1 loss to Iowa State, but failed to pull out any singles matches. Before the match, the Cyclones were the only other team in
the big 12 without a dual match victory in conference play.
The Jahawks' final opportunity to win a regular season conference match will come Saturday against the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan. Kansas State is one of three Big 12 teams not ranked, along with Kansas and Iowa State. The Wildcats currently sit at 3-5 in conference dual play.

HEALTH
Landlords educate renters over harms of lead paint
Students unaware of lead paint in their homes may be at risk for lead poisoning, should be aware of severe symptoms
KAYLA BANZET
kbanzet@kansan.com
When Sarah Stephens and her roommate moved into their apartment last August they were both handed information on lead-based paint. They were told that their apartment could contain lead-based paint on the walls.
Even though lead exposure can be seriously harmful to someone's health, the two roommates didn't pay any mind to the pamphlet.
"I'm not too concerned," Stephens said. "When we first moved in I was a little worried but I sort of forgot about it later."
Since 1996 landlords must provide renters with information on the possibility of being exposed to lead-based paint. They are required to give their renters a pamphlet. Renters receive these pamphlets but may not know all of the facts of what they could be exposed to.
Houses and buildings built before 1978 could have lead-based paint, which can be harmful to people's health. Knowing the facts about lead could prevent dangers to people's physical health.
The University of Kansas'
"Children who live in these homes are a big concern to us. It can affect the development of the child."
Timothy Jackson, an assistant professor in chemistry, said when someone has been overexposed to lead or has lead poisoning there will be symptoms.
"Someone who has lead poisoning will have low iron levels in their system," Jackson said. "Iron deficiency can possibly lead to anemia."
If the paint is left alone the exposure in the air should be minimal but if the lead becomes airborne overexposure to the lead can make a renter ill.
Environment, Health & Safety department, located in Burt Hall, specializes in many hazardous materials. Dan Narcomey, asbestos and lead manager for EHS, said it is important to stay informed.
According to the Kansas Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Prevention website other symptoms include headache, lack of appetite, vomiting, fatigue, stomachache, constipation or seizures. If these symptoms are not treated it could land someone in the hospital.
A mistake that many people make when dealing with lead-based paint is trying to remove the paint themselves. Scraping and picking at the paint can cause serious problems. Nacomey said it's best to leave it alone.
Exposure can be dangerous at any age. Jackson said he has not seen many studies on the age of the person but children are normally affected more when it comes to exposure. Narcomeye agrees and says children are a main concern.
"You should not let the paint become airborne," Narcomey said. "If you want the paint removed you should definitely leave it to the professionals."
"Children who live in these homes are a big concern to us," Narcomey said. "It can affect the development of the child."
"There are still problems with lead-based paint today." Narcomey said. "If you are concerned with lead consult your landlord or a professional."
DAN NARCOMY
Asbestos and lead manager, University En-
vironment, Health and Safety department
Not only can lead poisoning occur through the air but it can also be introduced to the body through ingestion.
"Another way that one could get lead poisoning is by eating paint chips that have lead-based paint in it," Jackson said.
If a person decides to
paint their walls they should take caution Painting over lead-based paint could possibly chip the paint away. However, it is a good way to keep the paint from chipping.
"Painting over the walls can keep the paint fresh." Narcomey said. "If the walls become too dry they can crack and chips could fall off."
Knowing the facts about lead poisoning can be very helpful. Stephens says she is more aware now about the symptoms and possibilities, and says she appreciates the new found knowledge.
"I didn't know about the symptoms until now," Stephens said. "I'm not overly concerned but it is good to know about it."

MOUNTAIN DEWDS
The Mountain Dewds explain tradition
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
They call themselves The Mountain Dewds, and the ten men living under one roof share more than just a lease; they share a Christian brotherhood. It's hard to miss the worn, white house dawning a big red Quick Trip sign on Mississippi Street, but it has been mistaken for a fraternity and even once for a real Quick Trip. The Dewds, however, say they are just a bunch of guys living together, who share a common goal.
"We are just trying to be good influences on the community," said Mikey Shaw, a Dewd and a freshman from Heidelberg, Germany.
The Dewds are known for their parties, but they aren't your typical college parties. Every year they throw a Halloween party, and instead of alcohol, the Dewds serve, you guessed it, Mountain Dew. Other events hosted by the Dewds are Ramp Day, where they ride bikes off a ramp into Potter Lake, and Keith Day which is always on the third Friday in April.
There is a story behind almost every tradition for the Dewds. The meaning of Keith Day has become increasingly abstract, but the real history behind the party will continue to be passed on between the Dewds. Keith was a former Dewd, who the other roommates never saw when he was living there. The roommates decided if they threw a party for him, he would have to show up. The party turned out to be a huge success.
"Everyone had so much fun at the party that it just kept happening," said Ty Crowl, a senior from Overland Park and present Dewd. "It's called Keith Day, but it's not really about Keith anymore."
The story of how the Mountain Dewds became the community they are today begins with a group of four or five friends who took a road trip. Along the way they came across a box of t-shirts at a gas station, reading "The Mountain Dewds". The guys decided to wear them and eventually began calling themselves the name from the shirts. When they moved in together, they found more roommates and the Mountain Dewds kept growing and the traditions was begun.
"There is a lot of history that just happens," said Greg Huenergard, a senior from Wichita. "It just happens and we don't understand it."
standing tradition in the house.
The Mountain Dewds went from a small group of friends to having 120 Dewds since 2003. Once the Dewds gained attention from outside the house, they ran into trouble. The Pepsi Company sent a cease and desist letter claiming they were using the Mountain Dewds name to make money, but when Pepsi found out their intentions were not for business, they were let off the hook.
After occupying two houses on Tennessee for years, the Dewds moved to the house on Mississippi with seven bedrooms and only two working bathrooms at the beginning of fall semester. The Quick Trip sign that hangs on
Luke Shaw, a senior from Heidelberg, Germany said that the Mountain Dews were the very first customers when Quick Trip first opened in Lawrence. His brother, Mikey Shaw said that about four times a week the Dews make a trip to Quick Trip.
"We are on a first name basis with the manager there," Mikey Shaw said.
Shaw also said that most of the Dewds were friends with the manager at Quick Trip on Facebook. Now, every year on the day Quick Trip opened, the Dewds throw a birthday party for the convenience store by bringing a cake and sometimes a present and by singing Happy Birthday. In return, the Dewds have gained a plethora of memorabilia from QuickTrip including mugs, a coffee table book, and even Quick Trip Monopoly.
VICTORIA PITCHER/KANSAN
The most recent addition to the Mountain Dewds is six baby chickens. Over spring break Luke Shaw purchased the chickens to raise and use them for eggs. When the chickens became too big, the Dewds built a chicken coop. Spontaneous ideas are welcome among the Mountain Dewds.
QuickTrip
"The chicken coop is probably a classic example of the sort of attitude where if someone has an idea, and they want to do something kind of out of the usual, the community will come around and embrace it and say 'Why not? Sounds fun' Luke Shaw said.
It's not always one big party for the Mountain Dewds, although they try to constantly be "awesome". Living in a house with 10 people takes patience and good communication. The biggest source of frustration in the Mountain Dewds house is cleanliness Mikey Shaw said, but the Dewds are always able to come together and clean the whole house in one day.
The Dewds have a handbook that they refer to when needed, but the general rule is "Don't be a knucklehead"
"There are no real hard and fast rules," Crowl said.
But Crowl said there are two things that come close to hard and fast rules: underage drinking and girls staying the night is not allowed. The Dewds are united by a common Christian background which is one of the reasons for the two rules. Every Sunday they hold a house meeting where they discuss bills and ask how everyone's week was. And at the end of every meeting, the Dewds pray.
"I was told at my first house meeting that the roommates and the Dewds that you meet here are going to be in your wedding. And that's the idea."
"The biggest thing in our house is just friendships. That's what we form here," said Huenergard. "We don't look here for church. We look for a Christian brotherhood here."
And for Mikey Shaw, he learned how important those friendships would become.
The Moutain Dewds house has been mistaken for a real Quick Trip before. Since 2003 the house has been home to 120 Dewds.

'Notes from No Man's Land' to be given to new KU students
ELISE REUTER ereuter@kansan.com
A book will be bringing new students together starting this fall.
In an attempt to replicate the sense of an academic community that many liberal arts colleges share, the University is creating a common book program to foster discussion among incoming University students.
At orientation, new students will be provided with a free copy of "Notes from No Man's Land" by Eula Biss. The book was chosen based on several criteria: intellectually stimulating, promotes conversation, available as an ebook and paperback, and lends itself to these events across several disciplines.
"The number one goal was to pick a book that is going to appeal to a wide variety of people, and that the students are going to read," said Kansas Athletics Learning Services Coordinator Howard Graham, who served on the selection committee. Graham said they also looked for content which you could begin reading at any part of the book. "You can start at the end, or the middle, or
the beginning. So it's very readable." he said.
The book is a collection of essays, contrasting living in Midwest, in the college town of Iowa City, which is comparable to Lawrence, with living in New York City and the West Coast. The book also brings up hard-hitting topics, including race and privileges.
"Eula Biss is young, and looks at things like many people at KU will be looking and thinking."

Hydraulic fracturing a hot topic at conference
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Atthe Second Annual University of Kansas Energy Conference last Friday, 250 students and professionals weaved in and out of The Oread Hotel, discussing hydraulic fracturing.
Coined "fracking" hydraulic fracturing is a drilling process in which natural-gas is obtained from shale formations. To obtain the gas, a well is dug thousands of feet into the ground vertically and then turned horizontally. Water, sand and a variation of chemicals are pumped into the ground at a very high pressure, releasing the gas.
REGULATIONS
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 exempted natural gas drilling from the Safe Drinking Water, Clean Water and Clean Air acts. As a result, fracking became more economical, with more companies doing it; this led to more questions about the process of fracking.
"A lot of the chemicals they use now, they weren't allowed to use under the old policy," Shannon O'Lear, a KU geography professor, said. O'Lear specializes in environmental policy.
The process is regulated on a state-by-state basis with guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency, which is currently testing to see if the process is harmful.
According to a 2011 report by the US House of Representatives between 2005 and 2009, at least 29 known carcinogens were being used in the chemical mixture to fracture. The chemicals are "regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for their risks
to human health, or listed as hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act".
Under current regulations, the companies are not required to list the chemicals put into the water and sand mix, but are encouraged to do so in Kansas by the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association, which was discussed at the energy conference.
THE COMPANIES
"Because it is so controversial, the companies are asked to provide more transparency," Greg Loving, KU Energy Club president and conference organizer, said, "The hope is that by providing the knowledge, people will be able to make educated decisions about the fracturing process."
Minh Le, a senior from Vietnam, attended the conference and said he plans to be a fracking engineer. Because the chemicals used dissolve and break apart the shale to extract the gas. Le said those chemicals could give companies a competitive leg-up.
"People don't know a lot about the technical side of it," Le said. "I think companies should provide more education for people, but they paid a lot of money and did research to come up with the chemicals they use and it doesn't make proprietary sense to give that away."
WATER CONCERNS
Currently, the water is pumped below the groundwater in Kansas to prevent it from leaking.The well casings are also designed to prevent leaking.
O'Lear said even if the chemicals used in the process don't leak into the main water supply, the millions of gallons of water
pumped into the well are no longer usable.
"It's really a water depletion issue," O'Lear said. "If those dangerous chemicals aren't leaking into our general supply, there is still an issue because all the water used per frack, many times we can't use that again."
In Kansas, the contaminated water is pumped deeper underground than the original well, preventing it from leaking into the main water supply. Loving, KU Energy Club president, sa id he thinks one of the largest causes of public concern is lack of regulation and the number of companies participating.
"We do have industry leaders like Exxon, and they are cycling the water and chemicals so they're being reused," Loving said. "The biggest problem is the companies that don't have the technology or resources available to dispose of fracking fluid safely."
PROGRESS
Kansas' current attorney general determined that the Kansas Corporation Commission does not have the authority to regulate fracking. However, a bill in the Kansas Senate would allow the commission to regulate hydraulic fracturing. Loving believes it is the best way for energy and environmental advocates to get along.
"Some kind of neutral entity would definitely help," Loving said. "Energy is always going to be apart of our day-to-day life, and we have to figure out the best way to use it safely, no matter what kind of energy it is."

53 million raised for Obama's campaign

rejuvenated GOP in the general election.
Obama has collected nearly $350 million since the start of the campaign last year, representing a boost in campaign cash
compared with recent months. He has raised about $127 million for his campaign, the Democratic National Committee and other campaign funds since the beginning of 2012.
Obama has entered a new phase in which he faces a direct challenge from Romney, who has begun raising money jointly with the Republican National Committee to overcome the president's fundraising edge. The RNC raised $13.7 million in March, its best month of the election cycle and has $32.7 million in cash.
Romney had raised about $75 million through the end of February and ended the month with about $7.2 million in the bank. His campaign was expected
to announce fundraising totals for March this week.
Obama's campaign had $84.7 million in cash-on-hand through the end of February and was expected to detail its cash position in an upcoming report with the Federal Election Commission.
Obama's campaign team has tried to generate a sense of urgency, telling donors they need to get involved because of Republican-leaning super PACs aiming to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat the president.
"We're all going to have to dig even deeper, work even harder, move even faster," said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina in a video released Monday outlining the fundraising totals. "It's
going to take all of us working together"
RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said Obama "cannot run on his record and is simply offering shiny objects to distract from his failure to bring hope and change to Americans as he promised."
The president has ramped up his fundraising pace in 2012, collecting about $29 million in January and $45 million in February. But Republicans note that Obama's fundraising efforts this year are slightly behind the $136 million his campaign raised during the first three months of 2008 when he didn't have the party's fundraising apparatus at his disposal.

Conflict of interest in Zimmerman case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — News organizations in Florida, including The Associated Press, challenged on Monday the sealing of records related to the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's fatal shooting. Meanwhile, Zimmerman's attorney wants the current judge to step down because of a potential conflict of interest in the case.
The organizations, led by The Miami Herald, filed a motion in Seminole County Circuit Court.
Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara asked for the records to be sealed last week, when his client was charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 fatal shooting of Martin, 17.

Circuit Judge Jessica Recksielder last week revealed the potential conflict in the case that relates to her husband, who works with Orlando attorney Mark NeJame.
Neljame was first approached by Zimmerman's family to represent the neighborhood watch volunteer. But the attorney declined and referred them to O'Mara.
"What I don't want to happen is to wait a month or two, and then we find out that what we thought is a potential conflict is an actual conflict," O'Mara told reporters outside the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center.

Pakistanian attack creates tension with U.S.
ISLAMABAD — A brazen, 18-hour attack allegedly carried out by Pakistan-based militants on targets in the Afghan capital, including the U.S. Embassy, could spark fresh tension between Washington and Islamabad just as they seemed to be patching up their vital but troubled relationship.
The attack, which ended early Monday, will likely re-ignite anger in Washington over Pakistan's unwillingness to crack down on militants using its territory as a base to target neighboring Afghanistan. But the Obama administration must weigh the impact any public criticism of Pakistan may have on the country's cooperation with it in other areas, including getting supplies to troops in
The potential flashpoint comes days after Pakistan's parliament finally approved new guidelines for the country in its relationship with the U.S., a decision that Washington hopes will pave the way for the reopening of supply lines to NATO troops in Afghanistan.

Pakistan closed its border crossings to NATO supplies in November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. It has taken the government months to navigate the delicate path of resuscitating ties with the U.S., a difficult process in a country where anti-American sentiment is rampant.

Investigation of Polish massacre ongoing
EUROPE
PARIS — The European Court of Human Rights said Monday it cannot rule on whether or not Russia properly investigated a World War II massacre of thousands of Polish officers because it has not received vital documents from Moscow to properly judge the case.
The court also said it considers the massacre in the Katyn forest a "war crime," but that it cannot force Russia to further investigate. Poland considers it a war crime, but Moscow has refused to apply the term.
The court found Russia in violation of the European Convention for
Human Rights for refusing to share investigation documents, and said that Russia's response to most attempts by victims' relatives to find out the truth about what happened had amounted to "inhuman treatment."
Fifteen Poles have complained that Russia failed to hold a proper investigation or to find those responsible for the 1940 killing by the Soviet secret police of some 22,000 Polish officers and intellectuals in the Katyn forest and other places.
Former president denounces coup
CARIBBEAN
BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau The second-place finisher in Guinea-Bissau's presidential election on Monday denounced last week's military coup, when soldiers attacked his opponent's home with grenades and arrested him weeks before the runoff vote.
Kumba Yala, a former president who was himself overthrown in a 2003 coup, issued a statement along with four other ex-candidates, saying they all "strongly condemn all forms of taking power by force."
The announcement came amid speculation about who is supporting the military coup leaders who grabbed power on Thursday — not long before voters were due to return to the polls for a second round in the presidential election.
Meanwhile, West African regional mediators headed to Guinea-Bissau for talks with the military coup leaders who seized power last week. On

In this April 13 photo, farmer Jerry Rogers talks in his alfalfa field in Clint, Texas. An early springtime release of water to farmers on both sides of the river requested by Mexico and opposed by Texans has caused farmers to fear water shortages during the summer.
Texas, Mexico struck with severe droughts
ASSOCIATED PRESS
McALLEN, Texas — Melted snow providing water for irrigation had barely begun burbling down a bone-dry Rio Grande toward a thin 4-mile-wide strip of farmland straddling the U.S.-Mexico border when a war of words erupted.
Mexico wanted a traditional early release from reservoirs so spring planting wouldn't be delayed. Texas farmers, fearing a historic drought could tighten its grip again this summer, wanted to delay the release for a couple of months to ensure enough water was left to help crops survive the hottest, driest part of the year.
Dividing the Rio Grande's waters is a complicated annual undertaking governed by arcane agreements and imperfect calculations. When there's plenty of water it flows smoothly, but with farmers on both sides of the border confronting severe drought — officials expect to have about one-third of the water of a normal year — Texas officials quickly lashed out an international commission's decision to release the water, accusing it of putting Mexico's water needs ahead of
drought-stricken Texas farmers in the El Paso Valley.
Mexico is guaranteed a fraction of the water from Rocky Mountain snows that drain into two New Mexico reservoirs. Once released, the water flows down the Rio Grande toward Texas, where it's diverted to Texas and Mexican farmers by dams. Local irrigation districts move the water through canals to farmers' fields.
With water expected to be scarce this year, two irrigation districts in New Mexico and Texas — which receive most of the water — decided in February to take their first deliveries in May rather than in March as they typically do. The idea was to delay the irrigation season in an effort to stretch what little water would be available to the end of the growing season.
CRIME
But this posed a problem for Mexican farmers who need water to get their cotton started in late March and April. Mexico asked the International Boundary and Water Commission, a binational body charged with applying the treaties governing the river and boundary, to take its share in March.
Police crack massive online drug marketplace
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A sophisticated online drug marketplace that sold everything from marijuana to mescaline to some 3,000 people around the world has been cracked with the arrests of 15 people in several countries, U.S. authorities announced Monday.
An indictment unsealed in federal court in Los Angeles claims eight men ran "The Farmer's Market," which allowed suppliers of drugs — including LSD, Ecstasy and ketamine
— to anonymously sell their wares online. They hooked up with buyers in 34 countries and accepted various forms of payment, including cash, Western Union and PayPal transactions, the indictment claims.
The market "provided a controlled substances storefront, order forms, online forums, customer service, and payment methods for the different sources of supply" and charged the suppliers a commission based upon the value of the order, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles.
From 2007 to 2009 alone, the marketplace processed more than 5,000 orders for drugs valued at more than $1 million, federal officials contended. It began operations as far back as March 2006, authorities said.
"For customers, the operators screened all sources of supply and guaranteed delivery of the illegal drugs," the statement said.
The alleged ringleader, Dutch citizen Marc Willems, 42, was arrested Monday at his home in Lelystad in the Netherlands, officials said.
Michael Evron, 42, a United States citizen living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was taken into custody on Sunday in Bogota, Colombia, authorities said.
The other six men were arrested at their homes. They are identified as Jonathan Colbeck, 51, of Urbana; Iowa; Brian Colbeck, 47, of Coldwater, Mich.; Ryan Rawls, 31, of Alpharetta, Ga.; Jonathan Dugan, 27, of
North Babylon, N.Y.; George Matzek, 20, of Seaucus, N.J.; and Charles Bigras, 34, of Melbourne, Fla.
It was not immediately clear whether the men had obtained lawyers.
The 12-count indictment charges all eight men with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and money laundering conspiracy. Some of the men also are charged with distributing LSD and taking part in a continuing criminal enterprise.
In addition, seven other people were arrested on suspicion of drug crimes Monday in the Netherlands, Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and authorities seized hallucinogenic mushrooms, hashish, LSD, marijuana and Ecstasy, the U.S. attorney's office said.
All could face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of conspiracy.
The investigation led to those arrests, but authorities still were trying to determine their connections to the
"Illegal narcotics trafficking now reaches every corner of our world, including our home computers," U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said in the statement. "But the reach of the law is just as long. ... We want to make the Internet a safe and secure marketplace by rooting out and prosecuting those persons who seek to illegally pervert and exploit that market."
online marketplace, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin S. Rosenberg.
The two-year investigation, dubbed "Operation Adam Bomb," involved law enforcement agents from several U.S. states and several countries, including Colombia, the Netherlands and Scotland, the U.S. attorney's office said.
The case was filed in Los Angeles because some of the customers and an undercover agent who bought drugs through the marketplace are from the area, Rosenberg said.
The marketplace "was distributing dangerous and addictive drugs to every corner of the world"

Young viewers prefer 'The Voice' over 'Idol'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
TELEVISION
"The Voice" has pulled even with "Idol" in ratings among young adults and has a median age of 43, according to Nielsen. Though not exactly brimming with youth, that figure nevertheless beats "Idol," which has a median viewer age of 48 — 14 years higher than it was when the show premiered back in summer 2002.
For years, "Idol" was TV's unrivaled ratings champ, and a big part of its success lay in its appeal to young people, who made it their No. 1 TV choice for years. But this year, critics are attacking the show as increasingly stodgy while viewership has plunged more than 30 percent among teens and twentysomethings. And many of those viewers have gone to NBC's "The Voice," a hipster and sexier upstart that has much younger judges and often edgier songs.
LOS ANGELES — As "American Idol" winds down its 11th season, it's time to ask: Is Fox's smash singing contest losing the kids?
University. "The Voice' has surprised me with the traction it has generated. It really does come off as younger than 'ldol.'"

Greg Lake's one-man show includes audience
PHILADELPHIA — Have a question you're dying to ask singer-songwriter/ progressive-rock titan Greg Lake? Well, here's your chance to do so.
Lake's one-man show, "Songs of a Lifetime," is a survey of the 64-year-old Englishman's musical output, but the audience plays a large role in the proceedings.
The show, he explained, "Is an interactive thing, not just about the material I perform. It basically depicts the journey the audience and I have shared over the years."
McClatchy Tribune
Fans have several opportunities during the evening to converse with Lake, a godfather of prog-rock thanks to his late-1960s work as bassist-vocalist.
'The Hunger Games' claims No.1 spot for fourth week
Jennifer Lawrence portrays Katniss Everdeen, left, and Liam Hemsworth portrays Gale Hawthorne in a scene from "The Hunger Games." The film has held the number one spot at the box office four consecutive weekends.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — "The Hun-ger Games" claimed the No.1 spot at the box office for the fourth consecutive weekend, becoming the first film since 2009's "Avatar" to remain in the top position for that long.
The fantasy epic starring Jennifer Lawrence collected an additional $21.5 million this past weekend, according to an estimate from Lionsgate. In the United States and Canada, the movie has raked in $337.1 million; overseas, it has sold $194 million worth of tickets in 60 foreign countries.
Heading into the weekend, a new spin on "The Three Stooges" had the only viable shot at taking down the wildly popular Suzanne Collins adaptation. Although the trio of goofballs may not have been able to pick off Katniss Everdeen, their film did pull in a decent $17.1 million.
Meanwhile, the Joss Whedon-produced horror film "The Cabin in the Woods" started with a soo $14.9 million. The sci-fi action flick "Lockout" had a far less impressive opening, grossing a weak $6.3 million.
"Stooges" marks the best debut for the brother-directors team of Bobby and Peter Farellly in more than a decade. After finding major box-office success in the early 1990s with films such as "Dumb & Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary," the filmmakers have struggled to attract moviegoers to their recent efforts. None of their last four films, including "Stuck on You" and "Hall Pass," opened with over $15 million or ultimately exceeded $45 million. Although "Stooges" should exceed that sum, it's unlikely that the movie will come close to reaching the heights of "Mary," which made $176 million by the end of its run in theaters.
The Farrelly have been working on "Stooges" for over a decade, and during that time bigname stars such as Jim Carrey and Sean Penn were at points attached to the movie. Ultimately,
the roles of Moe, Larry and Curly went to three lesser-known actors, the most recognizable of whom is Sean Hayes from TV's "Will & Grace."
Those who saw the film this past weekend didn't love it, assigning it an average grade of B-minus, according to market research firm CinemaScore. Even if word-of-mouth on the movie doesn't end up being fantastic, 20th Century Fox didn't spend much to produce the film: $37 million, after purchasing the rights to the production from MGM, where the picture was previously in development.
Not surprisingly, the movie attracted a 58 percent male crowd — the gender Fox has been heavily courting for weeks in advertisements on sports networks such as ESPN. Chris Aronson, Fox's executive vice president of distribution, said the studio consciously targeted men because "dumb, slapstick humor is male-driven stateside, and we've always known there was a barrier with females."
"The Cabin in the Woods" also appealed mostly to men and played best with an older crowd, 65 percent of whom were older than 25 — not the typical audience for a horror film. But those moviegoers didn't care for the film, giving it an average C grade.

Summer loving, have yourself a blast
EDITORIAL
Summer break is quickly approaching while students anticipate the extensive relaxation those three months in the sun can bring. As awesome as vacationing is and doing nothing sounds, summer also offers a variety of activities that can help you stay on track to graduate, pay for tuition and/or build your résumé.
Instead of occupying your couch this summer, try one of these alternatives:
GET A JOB
How many times have your parents used this line? Well, they may be onto something. Besides offering a change in scenery and
a day's entertainment, getting a job is useful in the long run.
First of all, you'd have a paycheck. Who doesn't like getting paid? What you do with that money is up to you. You could save it, put it toward next semester's tuition, buy a new car or take your significant other out to a movie.
Secondly, that job could help you after graduation. Employers will see that you went out of your way to do something with your summer. If your job is in the same field as your major, it could illustrate your passion and dedication to the field.
VOLUNTEER
Similarly,becoming a
volunteer in your field of choice shows off your dedication. Volunteering offers you a chance to help others within your community and reap the emotional benefits of your labor.
If you think you can't find a place to volunteer, think again. Contact local organizations like libraries, daycares, nursing homes, homeless shelters, doctor's offices and summer school programs. Somebody's bound to be looking for some help.
Although you'd work for free, the experience would be valuable in other ways. For example, your employer would see that you took enough pride in your community to give your time serving it.
Whether you're going home for the summer or staying in Lawrence, taking an extra class is still a possibility. The University of Kansas, along with many junior colleges, offers online courses over the summer
TAKE A CLASS
Take advantage of the shortened semester and catch up or get ahead of your classes. This opportunity could help you graduate earlier, on time or simply lighten your course load for the following semesters.
MIX & MATCH
GRADUATION
Without the chaos of the fall and spring semesters, you may have more time than you
thought you had. Don't waste it.
This summer is a perfect opportunity to build your resumé and stay motivated. Adding the structure of a job, volunteer program or class to your schedule provides you with a reason to keep a schedule and get things done.
Do what you can. And by all means, enjoy your summer. Unless you're becoming a teacher, you probably don't have too many of them left. Make them count, but not just in the shortterm. Make them useful for your future too.
Angela Hawkins for the editorial board.
Job-search woes: relax, embrace this chaotic time
W ell friends, graduation is right around the corner, and right on cue, demanding voices are coming through the framework.
They may be concerned or bitter parents, upset at their ambitious student's delusional goals at being a literature major. They may be fierce, opinionated editorialists, harping once again about the gap between employment and the liberal arts major. Or they may be your high-achieving half-friends off to law school or years teaching English abroad, judging you silently when you reply, "I'm not sure" to their cheerful questioning of what you are doing after graduation.
Such is the territory or soon-to-be-alumni.
Come graduation, I will become a statistic. The fresh, optimistic, and wideeyed college graduate with a degree guaranteeing little in the job market and a lot in uncertainty. The countless number of news articles, opinion columns, and TV news channel interviews attesting to how devalued the Bachelor's degree has become will ring true, and for whatever reason, they will seem brand-new as they lean on "new" unemployment statistics and trends to back up their arguments.

assurance at a stable-paying job is obviously denotive of a flawed system.
All of this is obvious, and I am a part of this movement. I have no plans come August, no idea where I will be living and working, and I'm also definitely not the only person intentionally or unintentionally playing up to the stereotype.
But this is okay. It is unfortunate, but it is okay. It is extremely easy to fall into a trap of hearing rhetoric telling those graduating that their degree is worthless and they have wasted thousands of dollars to now be virtually guaranteed at working a less-than-ideal job for a long time. We have to remember that while our situations are tough, they are not impossible to overcome. Countless Bachelor's degree holders have accomplished it before and countless will. That degree does mean something.
This is not to say that I support how the system is currently structured; when Bachelor's degrees seemed to be a little more difficult to receive and student loans were not the largest source of debt for Americans, they were probably more worth the jump. But today's world of the ridiculous amount of student loans for very little
remember that this is not some new phenomenon. Not everyone is going to find that perfect job, intern ship, or graduate school acceptance right out of school.
We should be mindful and aware of our situation and not oblivious to the path we are heading, but this does not mean we have to panic. Find a job. Take
"Find a job. Take a gap year before graduate school. Travel cheaply."
a gap year before graduate school.
Travel cheaply. Use the time while working that less-
than-ideal position to think about where you want to head, be happy about what you have accomplished, and use the skills you have acquired to think positively and realistically about the future. Get creative about the situation.
All it takes is a little confidence and willpower. Hopefully that degree has at least given us that.

ADVICE
Lying, cheating, stealing confined to the wealthy?
In the light of the looming elections, it seems that wealthy politicians, and wealthy individuals for that matter, seem to behave worse than other social classes while still feeling justified for what they do. Do you think this is true?"
This question has large implications on how we view individuals who are, let's say, bad people. There is significant literature holding that the wealthy are more likely to cheat, lie, steal, and in one study, literally take candy from kids. If you read last week's article on what makes us cheat on exams,you might remember that cheating, according to Dan Ariely,is often proportional to the potential benefits to the amount you can look yourself in the mirror.
In two field-studies by PhD student Paul Piff on the excellent psychology blog "The Situationist," upper class drivers were four times as likely to cut in front of other drivers at intersections and three times more likely to disrupt pedestrians as they crossed. In another study, participants were given tasks to complete and were invited to take a piece of candy or two from a candy bowl reserved specifically for children. Those in the upper class status took twice as much as those not. Lastly, participants in another study had to self-report total scores after rolling
By Michael Sofis msofis@kansan.com
dice five times. The researchers set the game so that it was only possible to reach a score of 12, however, those in the upper class cheated more often by reporting false scores.
So why does this happen? Do wealthy people tend to behave poorly because of their values or because of the circumstances that surrounded their acquisition of wealth? In the last study mentioned, the researchers primed the nonhigh income participants about the benefits of being greedy to try and get them to feel and act as if they were wealthy. They found that they responded the same as the high income participants on hypothetical immoral behavior in the workplace. This suggests that the values we personally identify with aren't immune to being influenced by the circumstances and environments we behave in. This seems to contrast with the lead investigator's opinion that wealth, "...shapes patterns of ethical behavior, and suggests that the different social values among the haves and the have-nots help drive these tendencies."
While it is undeniable that differences in unethical behavior exist in these experimental scenarios, the part that gets played down is
why this happens. Is it, as the researcher puts, because of differing social values? There seems to be a strong positive correlation with obtaining wealth and engaging in certain behavior but is it because they were greedy before they were rich or is being greedy just a side effect of becoming rich? Obviously, I'm arguing the latter. Many rich individuals in authoritative positions are constantly being reinforced (rewards to make your future behavior more likely to increase) for their productive behavior through monetary and social consequences and simultaneously not held responsible for immoral or illegal behavior. Additionally, individuals who we might be inclined to say were born greedy often grow up in families where reinforcement was given freely for all forms of behavior (e.g. Charlie Sheen).
Like upper class citizens and even criminals, we all function at least in part due to our environments and our histories in those environments. I'm by no means condoning immoral behavior of the upper class; however, to change such behavior from either an individual or societal standpoint we need to properly understand it.

This year has been especially big for Summitt, as her "We back Pat" campaign has drawn national attention because of her diagnosis with early-onset dementia of the Alzheimer's type.

Tennessee head coach Pat Summit discussed the final play during the last timeout of the NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday. Kansas lost to Tennessee 84-73.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson describes the next play during a timeout in the NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday. Kansas lost to Tennessee 84-73.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Summitt had a reduced role this year, including not meeting with the media regularly and sitting on the bench during much of the games.
Still, Summitt takes the time to help anyone who wants to learn about the game.
TUKE
But the Volunteers came within one game of reaching another Final Four before running into the buzzsaw of the Baylor Lady Bears in the Elite Eight.
Under her guidance, the Hokies reached at least twenty victories each season while also making five NCAA tournament appearances.
Summitt has relied on three former head coaches and associated head coach Holly Warlick, who played for Summitt from 1976-1980 and has been an assistant since 1985, for help with coaching in her condition.
"Like we said from the beginning, these are uncharted waters," DeMoss said. "We've kind of learned as we've gone, but I think what superseded this situation is the love and respect that we have for Pat. That supersedes everything."
After moving up the women's basketball assistant coaching ranks, Henrickson got her first shot as head coach in 1997 at Virginia Tech.
"Pat is a very grounded person," DeMoss said. "Always has been. She comes from humble beginnings. Her family is very important to her, and that never changes, that never waivers."
Summitt is a devoted and thoughtful person, but that is sometimes lost in the mix of her gruesome practices and harsh half-time speeches.
But when Henrickson had a chance to grab somebody from the Summitt coaching tree, she didn't
pass up the opportunity.
Fresh off of her stellar career that included two national titles with the Lady Vols, Kyra Elzy spent one year in 2002 as an administrative assistant under Henrickson at Virginia Tech.
Playing for coach Summitt might be one of the most demanding positions in college basketball, and Elzy felt the brunt of it, being a leader on the court by playing 126 games in four years. She also excelled in the classroom and became the first Tennessee player to earn a master's degree while still playing.
"She's very intense," Elzy said. "She's a winner. She demands excellence. She extremely demanding, but there's a method to her madness and it obviously pays off."
Although Elzy had personal success, Henrickson can only remember her talking about her teammates and her coaches.
"Kyra doesn't talk about how many games they won," Henrickson said. "She talks about how good they were to her."
Henrickson picked Elzy again to become a full-time assistant for the Jayhawks when she took the head coaching position in Lawrence.
Among many talents, recruiting is one of Elzy's specialties. Elzy helped the Jayhawks land its first top 20 signing class in 2007.
"I think you just have to be true to who you are and really be able to be and honest in what they're going to get from the university," Elzy said. "Make sure you sell your head coach, but more importantly you need to be persistent and just sell a family atmosphere."
Elzy has a special connection with Summitt dating back to her playing days. Summitt is someone that pushed Elzy, but always had a loving touch at the end of the day.
"I think what people don't get to see is the loving and the caring person that she is off the court," Elzy said. "She really wanted to make sure that we became women ready for the world and also stay humble enough to give back to other people."
Elzy also feels a great connection to Henrickson, someone who gave her the opportunities to move forward in her career, as well.
Elzy was the associate head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats team that made the Elite Eight this
season.
"I will always be grateful and forever indebted to Bonnie," Elzy said. "She gave me my first chance in the business straight out of college. I had the opportunity to study under and I think I'm a better coach today because of it."
Being a women's college basketball coach is a demanding job.
During the season, a head coach might notch a dozen hours of sleep in between watching film, while the athletes grasp a few hours for homework and freedom away from basketball.
The personal touch of a handwritten letter is special in an evergrowing technological environment.
Henrickson is one of these coaches, but something she picked up from Summitt long ago was to take the time to write letters.
Throughout her career, Summit has hand written a note back to every piece of fan mail she's received
until this year. In fact, Henrickson would occasionally write Summit a note and every time, she would get a handwritten note back.
That's why Henrickson has her own set of stationary to do the same thing with many of players and coaches that she writes to throughout the year.
Henrickson wants to show people that coaching is more than about being a great basketball player; it's about building a family around your team.
"If Pat Summit has the time to do it, Henrickson said. "Then I have time to do it."

Green replaces Franklin as assistant coach
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Mahogany Green, formerly of Central Michigan, joined the Kansas women's basketball staff as an assistant coach on Monday. She replaces Aqua Franklin who departed for an assistant coaching position at Mississippi State.
Green served a number of positions at CMU, including recruiting coordinator, academic liaison, scout and helped to develop the guards.
"Kansas is a great opportunity for me," Green said in a press release. "The athletic history there really drew me to the job and obviously the success they have experienced this past season and the last couple of years."
Green was a four-year letterwinner at Cleveland State. She led the Vikings in scoring, rebounding and assists. She was also named to the All-Midwestern Collegiate Conference All-Tournament Team in 2000 and 2001. She played one year of professional basketball in Ankara, Turkey, before returning to her alma mater.
"We are very excited to welcome Mahogany to Kansas," coach Bonnie Henrickson said in a press release. "Her energy and enthusiasm have made her instrumental in recruiting high-caliber student athletes to Central Michigan. She also has a great deal of success in developing quality point guards, a position which she played during a decorated career at Cleveland State."
Green coached in short stints at Eastern Kentucky, IPFW and Eastern Michigan before a four-year run at CMU.
White signs letter of intent with Javhawks
MEN'S BASKETBALL
The Jayhawks started individual work outs last week and are coming off a Sweet 16 appearance for the first time since 1999.
Andrew White from Chester, Va. signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Kansas, coach Bill Self said Monday.
"Bonnie has done a great job at KU and has had success everywhere she has gone." Green said in a press release. "I want to continue to progress as a coach and Bonnie is a great person to learn from."
Kathleen Gier
"I'm glad we can finally talk about Andrew," Self said. "He's been committed for a long time and we are so excited to have him. He's a tall guard. He can shoot it. He's a good athlete. He's tough, loves to play and certainly will be a great representative of our university."
White, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward, signed the letter in a ceremony at Miller School in Charlottesville, Va. Ranked No. 48 by ESPNU100 and No. 56 by Rivals.com. White averaged 22.9 points and 10 rebounds per game for Miller School this past season. He chose Kansas over North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Richmond, Texas and Getorgetown among others.
"He has been very well drilled and well coached at Miller under Scott Willard." Self said. "The transition to the collegiate level should be very smooth for him. We see him being an impact player for us beginning from day one upon his arrival on campus."
White, who will play in the Capital Classic All-Star game on Saturday in Alexandria, Va., joins Perry Ellis of Wichita, Landen Lucas of Portland, Ore., and Zach Peters of Plano, Texas, in the upcoming season's freshman class.
"Andrew's entire family has been great and so supportive to us throughout this process and what a great job Joe Dooley did in recruiting him," Self said. "One of the reasons we like him so much is the quality of person that he is. I believe having the Whites as part of our KU family will do nothing but enhance our program."

Stanfield mentioned in prestigious award list
Senior catcher James Stanfield was added to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List on Monday by The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. He joins a list of 50 other catchers from colleges across the country. The Johnny Bench Award honors college's top catcher every year.
Stanfield has contributed solid
Stanfield's best attributes as a catcher come on defense. Originally recruited by Kansas as a middle infielder, he possesses a strong arm from behind the plate. This season, he has thrown out 13-of-33 would-be base stealers, good for 39.4
numbers at the plate all season. He leads the Jayhawks with a .304 batting average. He is also batting .306 in Big 12 play. In 21 starts at catcher, Stanfield has hit three doubles and driven in nine runs.
The list will be narrowed to three finalists on June 4. After that, Division 1 college coaches will vote to determine the winner, which will be announced on June 28.
percent. He ranks second in the Big 12 at throwing out potential base stealers this season. He only trails Texas A&M's Troy Stein by 0.6 percent.

FACT OF THE DAY
Seventh-seeded teams have eliminated two-seeded teams 44.1 percent of the time in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the NHL employed a conference-seeding playoff format in 1994.

Q: Which team is the only eighth-seed team to play in the Stanley Cup Finals?

THE MORNING BREW Hockey playoffs bring parity to light
The Hockey Writers
If you said these two hollow terms to a sports fan, then they would imaginatively fly over the country in glee with their arms spread out like The Dude soaring above Los Angeles in cult-classic comedy film "The Big Lebowski": Overtime and game seven.
In 2011, one out of the NBAs 15 playoffs series matchups were determined in seven games. Out of last year's 80 playoff games played, six of them went into overtime.
By CJ Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
MLB fared much better than the NBA in playoff competitiveness last year. Four out of the seven playoff series matchups — three of them were in the Division Series, which implements a best-of-five playoff series format — were resolved in the final possible game. Four of the 38 playoff games went into extra innings.
Neither of those professional sports league could top the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Seven of last season's 15 playoff series were decided in seven games. If you
think that's astoundingly high, here's a big reason why: 22 of the 89 playoff games went into overtime.
Last year wasn't an aberration. The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been more entertaining and exciting than the NBA and MLB Playoffs recently, and last year's postseason statistics can justify part of the argument.
What makes hockey a special sport,
especially during the postseason, is that
goals are at a premium. It's not to say that basketball points and baseball runs aren't worth much, but scoring in both sports comes more frequently than in hockey.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are more unpredictable than the NBA Playoffs because of the parity. Since 1994, when the NHL changed the format of the playoffs, nine eight-seeded teams ousted the one-seed in the first round. The NBA has only had an eight-seed eliminate a one-seed in the first round four times since 1984 when the league changed its playoff format. It's more common for underdogs to advance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs than the NBA Playoffs. I can't say the Stanley Cup Playoffs are more predictable than the MLB Playoffs because wild card teams have eliminated one-seeded teams in the Division Series 19 times. However, only four teams qualify for the MLB playoffs from each league opposed to eight from each in the conference for the Stanley
KU
Cup Playoffs, so the discrepancy between the highest and lowest seeds in the MLB Playoffs is lower than in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
On top of all that, hockey players fight to earn the right to raise Lord Stanley's Cup above their shoulders. No trophy in sports has as much mystique and prestige as the Stanley Cup.
In the movie "Gladiator", after Maximus slaughters his opponents, he asks the audience "Are you not entertained?" I challenge you to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and ask yourself: "Are you not entertained?"

Women's basketball gets new assistant coach
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY KANSAS ATHLETICS
COMMENTARY
I know that the team thinks Sunday's win over Texas A&M was no fluke, and Austin will be the place to prove it.
Brew: Stanley Cup playoffs frenzy It's all about game deciding overtimes PAGE 6
Through 15 home games, the Longhorns have an ERA of 1.46 and are 11-4 at home overall. We often hear about the importance of riding momentum from a win, but it really doesn't get bigger than this weekend for Kansas. If the Jayhawks can sweep the Longhorns in Texas, Price's young team will find themselves, amazingly, back in Big 12 Tournament contention.

ball team sits at the exact spot they were expected to be in the standings: last place.
Crucial time to improve
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
With 12 conference games left in the season, the Kansas base-
Kansas is coming off a 5-3 victory over second-ranked Texas A&M. This was a win that ended an embarrassing eight-game losing streak, which had the team playing tight with every pitch. The Jayhawks finally put together the performance that coach Ritch Price had been waiting for.
Now, a 13-23 overall record and 3-9 mark in the Big 12 is not impressive to say the least, but if there is any hope of the Jayhawks turning around their season, it all starts with this week.
Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor shut down the conference's second-best offense for seven innings. Kansas' last-place offense finally woke up, frustrating Texas A&M with their clutch hitting and patience at the plate.
Kansas' dismai play on the road has been a recurring theme this season. The Jayhawks are 3-12 on the road and haven't won an away game since March 10. As bad as Kansas plays away from home, 23rd-ranked Texas is that great at home.
Baseball is a sport where, on any given day, any team can win. And the Jayhawks have learned just how difficult it is to win in the Big 12. Although a single ballgame doesn't hold the significance of a conference win in football or basketball, a win like this can do wonders for a young team.
NOW OR NEVER
Senior catcher James Stanfield described the final moments of Kansas' victory over Texas A&M as a weight vest dropping to the ground. The mere pressure of ending a losing streak is lifted from this team, and now that the Jayhawks have beaten a nationally elite team, there should be a very confident ballclub heading into this week.
The opportunity to turn the season around is there, but the Jayhawks have to perform like they did Sunday against the Aggies. Kansas will head into the weekend on its first three-game winning streak since the opening week of the season, but they will be in for a challenge in Austin, Texas.

Now that the losing streak has ended, the Kansas baseball team (13-23, 3-9 Big 12) will look to stay in the win column against a pair of NAIA schools from Kansas.
The Jayhawks host Baker University 6 p.m. Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark followed by the University of St. Mary on Wednesday night. Kansas defeated No. 2 Texas A&M 5-3 on Sunday, a statement victory that ended an eight-game skid for Kansas.
The Jayhawks' more experienced players stood out in the weekend's series with the Aggies, but coach Ritch Price thinks the early week games are important opportunities for the younger players.
"We use these as developmental games," Price said. "I'll get to play some of my younger guys that I quite frankly haven't gotten a chance to play as much as I would have liked."
Freshman pitcher Robert Kahana is scheduled to start on Tuesday against Baker. In his first season with Kansas, Kahana is already one of the Jayhawks' most versatile pitchers,
appearing in 46.1 innings - from the bulpen and as a starter - with a 2-1 record and 3.30 ERA.
Price also plans to give freshman catcher Nate Arnold more playing time this week. Perfect Game USA named Arnold as the No. 4 high school prospect out of Kansas, but it has been difficult for him to get on the field, playing behind senior James Stanfield and junior Alex DeLeon. Arnold singled in one of his two plate appearances, and Stanfield thinks that young players can carry this momentum into the weekend.
"We have so much momentum
in our dugout right now, and then going into two midweek games. We have to keep it going." Stanfield said.
Baker competes in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, and the Wildcats have lost four of their last six ballgames. Baker enters Tuesday's game with a 23-20 overall record and 11-7 mark in HAAC competition.
St. Mary is coming off a double-header sweep of Friends University, but the Spires have struggled for much of the season. St. Mary competes in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference and holds a
14-24 mark on the season. The Jayhawks are the only Division I school the Spires are scheduled to play all season.
Despite the difference in level of talent, the Jayhawks cannot afford a letdown heading into the weekend's series against No. 23 Texas.
"This is a crucial point in our season," junior infielder Jordan Dreiling said. "This could be the time when everything turns around from here on out, so we're looking to head into those two games and leave with two wins."

Head coaches Bonnie Henrickson (left) and Pat Summitt (right) hug briefly before Saturday's NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. The two worked together in the late '80s at Summit's summer basketball camps in Tennessee.

RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
It was the summer of 1987, Bonnie Henrickson just wrapped up her first year as a graduate assistant at Western Illinois University.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
With nothing more than a determination to work, Henrickson took advantage of WIU head coach Kelly Hill's connection to Tennessee assistant Holly Warlick from their time together at Nebraska.
Hill put in a call to the Lady Vols to see if Henrickson could help out with the annual Pat Summitt Basketball Camp.
Knowing no one, Henrickson picked up her things from Macomb, Ill., and drove to Knoxville to work as a camp counselor.
Henrickson remained quiet and composed all week, but then lunch time came around one day and people were looking for someone to do Dana Carvey's Saturday Night Live "Church Lady" sketch for the skit part of the camp.
"Bonnie comes across as a little stoic until you get to know her," former long-time Tennessee assistant and current assistant coach for the WNBAs Indiana Fever Mickie DeMoss said. "When she did the 'Church Lady,' we just all fell out. We all said, 'Bonnie is doing that.'"
Henrickson completed the skit decked out in a wig and dress picked out by some other camp workers. It became one of the funniest sketches of the week.
"I just remember that she was hysterical," former team manager and current Tennessee Assistant
AD for Compliance and Operations for Todd Dooley said. "Her personality and her sense of humor always had something easy to say or do."
Dooley was working the camp at the same time as Henrickson.
What Henrickson appreciates more than a few laughs was her priceless networking and eventual friendships that she made with many of the coaches.
Henrickson faced off against then and current Tennessee
legendary head coach Pat Summitt in Kansas' Sweet 16 game on March 24.
Throughout the years, Henrickson has been fortunate to get to know Summitt in small increments.
She's sat in on dinners where some of the coaching elite discussed the growth of women's basketball and the development of the game, among other subjects.
"There's so much seriousness
and it's so competitive, but you can appreciate people when you're sitting next to them and laugh and share stories," Henrickson said.
Summitt is the standard for women's basketball. Eight National Championships. 18 Final Fours. 20 All-Americans.
And that doesn't even include all the charity work that she's done to grow the women's bas-

Freshman guard says he will transfer from Kansas
Freshman Merv Lindsay will transfer from Kansas, KU Athletics confirmed Monday afternoon. Lindsay, a 6-foot-7 guard from Moreno Valley, Calif., averaged 15 points and 10.2 reebounds per game as a senior at Canyon Springs High School two seasons ago.
"Merv and I met last week about his situation and the opportunities he has here," coach Bill Self said. "He has decided it is in his best interest to look elsewhere to have an opportunity for more playing time."
"With the support of coach Self, me and my family have decided to transfer at the end of the semester to seek more playing time. Now I plan to sit down and look at options."
He was known in high school for his length and three-point shooting prowess and was a three-time All-League selection, but was not ranked by Rivals.com. He committed to Kansas last June, also holding a scholarship offer from Marquette.
He recorded season-highs with nine points and eight minutes in the Dec. 29 victory over Howard in Allen Fieldhouse.
It is not yet known where Lindsay will transfer.
"Merv is not a good young man, he is a terrific young man," Self said. "He has done well in school and he has impacted our program on the practice court and in the locker room in a very positive way. We're going to do everything we can to support and assist him. He's leaving here with a great taste in his mouth as we are with him. At this time he is at square one and we're just looking into it, but he has been granted his release."
"I will never forget my freshman year at Kansas, going to the Final Four and winning a conference championship," Lindsay said. "I was fortunate to learn under a great coach in coach Self and his staff. Being a part of such a great tradition and contributing to that tradition will always mean a lot to me. I love all my teammates, coaches and all the Kansas fans for their support this past year."

CAMPUS
False campus alarms come with a real price
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Students who have been forced to evacuate buildings for nonexistent fires may be relieved to know that of the hundreds of responses Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical makes to campus every year, only a few are caused by people with mischevious intentions.
According to the KU Office of Public Safety, in 2011, three fire alarms were determined to be pulled maliciously, and in 2010, 14 alarms were maliciously pulled.
Of the three alarms pulled in 2011, two were at Jayhawker Towers Apartments and one was at the Art & Design building. In 2010, five alarms were pulled at Oliver Residence Hall, the most of the year.
In 2010, one citation was issued for a false alarm at Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall. No citations were issued in 2011 for false alarms.
Maj. Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said it is hard to determine a suspect after the alarm is pulled.
"We investigate these the best that we can," Keary said. "A lot of times when we get there, we know what station was pulled but everyone is gone at that point, so establishing a suspect can be difficult."
Jim King, chief of the prevention division for Douglas County Fire and Medical, said it takes about 30 minutes for safety officials to ensure that the building is safe after reaching the fire alarm site. He also said that it costs about $200 each time safety departments respond to a malicious alarm, considering employee wages, gas and vehicle maintenance for the responders.
In most campus buildings, when a fire alarm sounds, the KU Emergency Communications Center is notified and dispatches the fire department.
"I know a lot of people think the trucks are out here all the time and that it's because someone pulled the alarm," Keary said, adding that in most cases the alarms are working properly, but are occasionally triggered by smoke from cooking or an overheated engine.
King said when the alarms are falsely pulled, people are less likely to trust the alarms the next time they are pulled.
Garrett Holm, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., who lives in Oliver Hall said he doesn't take alarms as seriously because one was pulled falsely last semester.
"When the alarm goes off, I still go outside eventually," Holm said, "but it's like slowly and I don't really care because I know the building isn't on fire."
But King said the department's biggest concern is having a crew responding to a malicious alarm when a legitimate emergency occurs.
"It's not about the money," King said. "It's hard to measure the impact, but if we have a true emergency and we could have responded differently or gotten there faster, it could be the difference between life and death."

Human rights activist and students call for intervention in Syrian violence
Radwan Ziadeh speaks at the Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday afternoon. Ziadeh is the founder of the Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies in Syria and has testified at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva twice.

Syrian human rights activist Radwan Ziadeh said the international community needs to get involved in the civil strife and conflict in his country.
Ziadeh, a senior fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace, spoke at the Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday afternoon.
Ziadeh said the international community should respond to the human rights violations as it did in other instances of the Arab Spring, such as in Egypt and Libya. He called for the creation of a safe zone between Syria and Turkey, as well as air strikes and enforcement of a no-fly zone in Syria.
"This has become a tragedy not only for Syrians who are living inside Syria, but also for us," Ziadeh said. "Syrians living outside who cannot do anything to help our brothers, mothers and sisters living in Syria."
Ziadeh said the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad has imprisoned more than 50,000 people, killed 12,000, and displaced more than a million of its citizens in the course of the conflict, which began in March 2011.
Hanny Sawaf, a senior from Damascus, Syria, attended the lecture to answer questions about KU students from Syria. He said his family is relatively safe from violence in the capital, which is stable compared to other parts of the country.
Although Ziadeh was not certain when or how the uprising would end, he foresaw the eventual overthrow of the Assad regime.
"I see hope," Ziadeh said.
"I understand that there's going to be some questions about how the opposition would handle governing if they were put in power,"
Sawaf was in Syria this past January, and although he had expected the conflict to be resolved by now, he thought the international community should intervene.
Sawaf said. "I just believe that any solution is better than what they have now."
"The U.N. should not allow what's going on in Syria to go on anywhere," Sawaf said.
Kristin Nance, a junior from
Topeka, helped the Dole Institute host the speech, as a study-group coordinator. Nance said it might be hard for American students who have never experienced a revolution to grasp the full scope of the situation.
"Programs such as this allow students to become not only educated, but engaged," she said.

University offers separation program
In an email to University faculty, Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Jeff Vitter outlined a voluntary program that would allow faculty and staff members to apply for early separation.
The University is offering buyouts for eligible faculty and staff at both the Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
"The Voluntary Separation Incentives Program is intended to prioritize our funding toward investment in the goals and strategies identified by the KU community in Bold Aspirations," Vitter said in the email.
According to the email, University faculty and staff are eligible for the program if they are at least 62 years old or have 85 points under the Kansas Public Educators Retirement System and have at least 10 years of service at a Kansas Board of Regents institution or with the Board of Regents office.
The email said each application would be reviewed individually and granted based on whether there is a benefit to the University.
Faculty and staff already on a phased retirement agreement, current University retirees who have been re-hired, and faculty and staff on approved long-term disability are not eligible for the program.
Employees who are approved for the program would receive a lump sum cash payment equal to one year's base salary, with a $100,000 maximum.
"This is an important decision, and I encourage eligible faculty and staff to consider their situation carefully," Vitter said.

ELECTION
Romney begins search for a VP candidate
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Don't look for a vice presidential shocker from Mitt Romney. His choice of a running-mate — a search he announced Monday he has begun — will be guided by both his methodical, risk-averse corporate training and the lessons his party learned from Sarah Palin's selection.
Preparedness to serve and loyalty to Romney are likely to trump other credentials as the all-but-sure Republican nominee looks to avoid the blowback John McCain faced four years ago with his surprise choice of the little-known, first-term Alaska governor for the GOP ticket. Questions about Palin's readiness to serve, McCain's decision-making and his advisers' vetting came to define the Arizona senator's flawed campaign.
Mindful of that, Romney will put experience at the top of his list of qualities as he chooses a No. 2, according to senior advisers and GOP operatives familiar with his thinking. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak candidly about a process Romney himself is trying to keep as private as possible as he works to narrow a field that may begin with as many as a dozen prospective candidates.
"The hallmark for Governor Romney's candidacy, and how he would be as president, is that he approaches these decisions in a well-thought-out methodical way," said Steve Duprey, a former McCain adviser and current New Hampshire-based member of the Republican National Committee. "It won't be like the McCain campaign where there was a big surprise and effort to create a game changer."
For all the secrecy surrounding the process, the former Massachusetts governor did give a few hints about his plans Monday, disclosing that he had chosen his former chief of staff and 2008 presidential campaign manager,
Romney was largely tight-lipped beyond the staffing announcement. He said the selection would certainly happen before the Republican National Convention in late August. But he wouldn't provide any more guidance on any internal deadline his team has set. And when asked about potential choices — and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, specifically — Romney hedged, as he has consistently in recent months.
Beth Myers, to lead the vetting and analysis of prospective running mates. Several other members of the tight-knit cadre that has surrounded Romney for years also are likely to be involved.
"Well I think he's one of the terrific leaders in our party, but I think it's way too early to begin narrowing down who the potential vice presidential nominees might be," Romney said in an interview with Diane Sawyer of ABC News outside Fenway Park in Boston. "But we're beginning that process, we'll talk about a lot of folks, and then go through he kind of vetting and review process that you have to go through to make sure whoever you select will pass the evaluation that's required by the American people."
In addition to his running mate being prepared to assume the presidency, Romney has laid out only one other public criterion; that he or she oppose abortion rights. The condition could help reassure social conservatives that Romney is serious about his opposition to abortion — a sore point because he supported abortion rights when he ran for the Senate in 1994.
Several Republicans familiar with Romney's thinking downplay the importance of choosing a running mate from a particular battleground state or demographic.

Many evacuations, little damage following Chilean earthquake Monday
ASSOCIATED PRESS
People gather outside a shopping mall after an earthquake was felt in Talca, Chile, March 25. Weeks later, a 6.7 magnitude quake shook the port city of Valaparaiso, Chile, prompting evacuations along the coastline but not causing any major damage.
SANTIAGO, Chile A strong magnitude-6.7 earthquake shook central Chile late Monday, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of a stretch of coastline and causing hundreds of people in the capital to flee buildings in panic.
There were no reports of major damage, but authorities in the port city of Valparaiso said a 72-year-old man died of a heart attack during the quake. The earthquake was felt for almost a minute in Valparaiso and the capital, Santiago.
The U.S. Geological Survey initially put the quake's magnitude at 6.5 but later raised it to 6.7. Its epicenter was 26 miles northeast of Valparaiso, and it had a depth of 23 miles. It struck just minutes before midnight local time Monday.
The Chilean navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service discounted the possibility of a tsunami, but authorities maintained an order for people to move to higher ground along a roughly 500-mile stretch of coastline running from the city of Constitution to Tongoy, north of the capital.
The quake knocked out power and telephone service in various parts of Santiago, but the National Emergency
Office of the Interior Ministry said that it had received no reports of major damage or injuries so far.
Chile is highly earthquake-prone. A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck central Chile on March 25, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since a huge quake devastated that region two years ago. In 2010, the 8.8-magnitude quake caused a tsuna-
mi that obliterated much of the coastal downtown of the central Chilean city of Constitución.

African Union suspends Guinea-Bissau because of army's corruption
BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau The African Union on Tuesday suspended Guinea-Bissau after a coup and arrests of top officials and said they may impose sanctions on coup leaders and supporters in the tiny West African nation.
Ramtane Lamamra, the head of the AU's peace and security council, announced the automatic suspension Tuesday at AU headquarters in Ethiopia's capital. Lamamra said the AU could apply more sanctions if coup
leaders don't take measures to return the country to constitutional rule.
Soldiers overthrew the government Thursday night.
The AU said in a statement Tuesday that the sanctions could affect those responsible for the coup and their supporters, and could include travel bans, asset freezes and more.
The AU said "the recurrence of illegal and unacceptable interference of the leadership of the BissauGuinean army in the political life of the
country contributes to the persistence of instability and the culture of impunity, hampers efforts towards the establishment of the rule of law, the promotion of development and the entrenchment of a democratic culture." It also said the country's instability makes "it difficult to fight against the scourge of drug trafficking."
Also Tuesday, ECOWAS Commission President Desire Kadre Ouedraogo said ECOWAS is "ready to send troops" to Guinea-Bissau to help reform the
military and security sectors.
Ouedragoa did not give a timeline or state the number of troops they were considering sending.
He said ECOWAS had "zero tolerance" for power apprehended by non-constitutional means.
He also said ECOWAS is holding the military responsible for the security of all detainees and demands their immediate release.

U.N. Security Council condemns North Korea's rocket launch
PYONGYANG, North Korea
North Korea accused the U.S. of hostility on Tuesday for suspending an agreement to provide food aid following Pyongyang's widely criticized rocket launch, and warned of retaliatory measures in response.
North Korea's Foreign Ministry also rejected the U.N. Security Council's condemnation of Friday's launch of a long-range rocket as "unreasonable," and reasserted the nation's right to develop a civilian space program.
North Korea fired a three-stage rocket Friday over the Yellow Sea in defiance of international warnings against what the U.S. and other nations said would be seen as a violation of bans against
nuclear and missile activity.
North Korean officials called the launch a peaceful bid to send an observation satellite into space, timed to commemorate the 100th anniversary Sunday of the birth of late North Korea founder Kim Il-Sung. The launch was a failure, with the rocket splintering into pieces less than two minutes after takeoff.
On Monday, the U.N. Security Council, including North Korea ally China, condemned the rocket launch as a violation of resolutions prohibiting North Korea from ballistic missile and nuclear activity, and directed its sanctions committee to strengthen penalties against the country.

Mali's interim president urges junta to release senior politicians, officials
BAMAKO, Mali — Soldiers arrested the head of one of Mali's biggest political parties and officials from the country's ousted government on Tuesday, deepening questions about whether the military is still in control even as a new civilian prime minister was appointed to the interim government.
Check Modibo Diarra, a former NASA scientist who served as Microsoft Corp.'s chairman for Africa until last year, is now tasked with organizing new elections in Mali after last month's coup.
His nomination as prime minister comes just days after a new interim president was sworn in after the regional group ECOWAS pressured the junta leader Capt. Amadou Sanogo into signing an accord that was supposed to pave the way to full civilian rule.
However, Sanogo has made clear in numerous statements since the agreement that he intends to continue to play
an important role in Malian politics, especially after the 40-day period the interim president has in office under the terms of the constitution.
On Tuesday, soldiers detained a number of senior politicians and military officials, including many prominent in the government that was toppled last month by the junta. "As soon as I heard I contacted Capt. Sanogo to tell him that's not the sort of thing that should happen in a country where there is the rule of law and that he should take measures so that those who have been detained know first of all why they have been detained and that they should possibly be released," Interim President Dioncounda Traore said.
"He promised me to look into the matter today. So I think this is a problem that will be dealt with today except of course for those who they have things against," he said.

Discovery space shuttle retires to Smithsonian
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHANTILLY, Va. — The space shuttle Discovery went out in high-flying style.
After three spectacular spins above the nation's capital, the world's most traveled spaceship completed its final flight and was ready to become a grounded museum relic.
But what an exit. Discovery took victory laps around the White House, the Capitol and the Washington Monument that elicited cheers and awe — the same sounds and emotions that used to accompany every thunderous launch.
Bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet, the shuttle took off at daybreak Tuesday from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Three hours later, the combo took a few final swoops around Washington at an easy-to-spot 1,500-foot altitude.
Sorena Sorenson, a geology curator for the Smithsonian Institution, was among thousands watching from the National Mall. For 43 years, she has carried an Apollo 11 medal on her keychain.
"This to me is just so bittersweet," she said.
People filled the Capitol balcony and stood on rooftops to catch a glimpse of Discovery as it circled three times through partly cloudy skies. Construction workers staked out prime viewing spots on cranes.
The nostalgia extended to the crew at the controls of the 747. "The sad part is we're retiring a very well-oiled machine"; pilot Bill Rieke said.
After landing at Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia, the shuttle will undergo final preparations to go on display Thursday at the Smithsonian's
National Air and Space Museum annex near the airport.
we pledge to take care of her forever," said retired Gen. John R. "Jack" Dalley, the museum's director. The shuttle will show young visitors "what America is capable of."
"it's huge," he said. "That's something you don't realize from seeing pictures."
The landing "was just unbelievable," said John, who would like to work in the space program someday. "This is history right here."
NASA ended the shuttle program last summer after a 30-year run to focus on destinations beyond low-Earth orbit. Discovery — the fleet leader with 39 orbital missions — is the first of the three retired shuttles to be turned over to a museum. It first launched in 1984.
Terri and Bill Jacobsen used the flyover as a teaching experience for
Riley, their son. They calculated the speed and angle at which the shuttle and plane would bank, plus other factors, to determine the perfect viewing spot.
"Oh, my God, look at that," Terri Jacobsen said as the shuttle first appeared. "That thing is mammoth."
Harold and Theresa Banks of Washington have watched many historic events on the mall since 1958: the inauguration and funeral of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington, the million Man March and Barack Obama's inauguration. Discovery's flight ranks high up with those events, they said.
When Discovery departed Florida's Kennedy Space Center, thousands of people — former shuttle workers, VIPs, tourists and journalists — gathered along the old
shuttle landing strip and the nearby beaches.
The plane and shuttle initially headed south and made one last pass over Cape Canaveral before returning to the space center in a final airborne salute.
Discovery's list of achievements include delivering the Hubble Space Telescope to orbit, carrying the first Russian cosmonaut to launch on a U.S. spaceship, performing the first rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir with the first female shuttle pilot in the cockpit, returning Mercury astronaut John Glenn to orbit and resuming shuttle flights after the Challenger and Columbia accidents.
With the shuttles grounded, private U.S. companies hope to pick up the slack, beginning with space station cargo and then, hopefully, astronauts. The first commercial
cargo run, by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., is set to take place in a few weeks.
For at least the next three to five years — until commercial passenger craft are available in the United States — NASA astronauts will have to hitch rides aboard Russian Soyuz capsules to get to the International Space Station.
Smithsonian space shuttle curator Valerie Neal lobbied for years to get the shuttle with the most history. She knew Discovery had logged the highest miles, completed every type of mission and had the distinction of being the first flown by a black commander and the first flown by a female pilot.
"It just has such a rich history," Neal said. "It's the champion of the shuttle fleet."

Apart from her time, Jolie has also given large personal donations to the organization, which relies entirely on voluntary contributions from governments, companies and individuals.
Jolie's new position will focus on the complex crises that result in the mass displacement of people, such as in Afghanistan and Somalia. In addition, on special occasions she will represent the U.N.'s High Commissioner for refugees, Antonio Gutierres.

'Good Morning America overthrows 'Today Show'
TELEVISION
The United Nations refugee agency has elevated the Hollywood star from being a goodwill ambassador to a special envoy, a role that will see her represent the organization to governments and diplomats. It is the first time the U.N. refugee agency has named a special envoy, said its spokesman Adrian Edwards.
LITERATURE
"Her work does go substantially beyond what we would typically see as being the normal role of a goodwill ambassador." Edwards told reporters in Geneva. "I don't think you need a rocket scientist to see the benefits that she is bringing in
"This is an exciting day, but we will save any celebrating for when the final numbers come in on Thursday," Tom Browski, "GMA's" senior executive producer, said in a statement.

"GMA," hosted by George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts — drew an average of 5,147,000 total viewers last week, just 13,000 more than "Today," according to Nielsen. While "GMA" has beaten "Today" before now on individual days, it hasn't done so in the weekly averages since 1996.
'Harry Potter' author writes book for adults
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — It may lack wizards and witches, but J.K. Rowling and her publisher are hoping her first novel for adults, "The Casual Vacancy," will have the magic touch.
It opens with the sudden death of a popular man whose unexpected demise shocks the town. The battle for his seat on the local council sets off "the biggest war the town has yet seen," with rich people fighting poor, parents battling their teenagers, and wives in conflict with their husbands.
The publisher said the "blackly comic" tale of rivalry and duplicity in a small English town would be available worldwide on Sept. 27.
The book's title was announced Thursday by Little, Brown & Co. along with a brief plot synopsis and publication date.
The book will be Rowling's first post-Potter effort. Her seven-volume saga about the adventures of a boy wizard became one of the most successful fictional series in history and led to a series of extremely popular films.
The new book, aimed at a grown-up audience, will be set in a seemingly idyllic English town called Pagford which is described as far more menacing than its pretty faade would indicate.
The publisher said the 480-page novel will be sold as an e-book and audio download as well as in traditional hardback form.
The seven Harry Potter novels have sold 450 million copies and have been translated into 74 languages.
Rowling's final Potter offering, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was published in 2007. She published a short Potter spin-off collection of stories, "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard," in 2008.
Rowling said earlier this year she wanted to reach an adult audience, but kept the book's name and publication date secret until Thursday.
In the past, many successful children's writers have struggled to remake themselves as adult authors. Winnie the Pooh creator
A. A. Milne, a successful playwright in his early years, once confessed that he was forced to say "goodbye to all that" after his beloved books about the bear and friends.
Jon Howells of British book store chain Waterstones said "The Casual Vacancy" would likely be the year's best-selling novel.
But Rowling has one advantage: the Potter books had a huge adult, as well as child, audience.
He said the synopsis came as a surprise and suggested similarities to the work of popular mystery writer Alexander McCall Smith and Mark Haddon, a children's writer who had a huge adult hit with "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time."
"We were all expecting some sort of crime or mystery novel, but she has, refreshingly, surprised us all," Howells said.

Top five books for every college student
At this point, some of my adoring readers out there are already saying, "Josh, that's two top five lists within a month. Come on now, that's just lazy journalism!" To that I say, touche. But I have my reasons, thank you very much!

Come on now, that's just lazy journalism! To that I say, touche. But I have my reasons, thank you very much! Also, my attempt to condense all of the great novels in human history into a paltry 800-word column is quite simply...asinine. There are thousands upon thousands of list-worthy works to choose from, all with significant purposes and themes to contribute to the human imagination. Nevertheless, here are my five books every student should have in their personal library.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
ZEN
MOTION
MOTION
MOTION
MOTION
MOTION
MOTION
"Zen and the Art" is less a traditional narrative and more a treatise examining the branches of philosophy known as aesthetics and epistemology. Pirsig proposes the question "What is quality?" to a society enamored with quantity. The question seems simple enough, but it's one that tortures the protagonist as he journeys on a cross-country motorcycle trip with his son. Loosely based
on Pirsig himself, the protagonist slowly regains memories from his pre-electroshock therapy days and rediscovers exciting but unnerving ideas about science and philosophy. ZAMM is an intellectually challenging read, as it should be. Pirsig scored a genius level 170 on an IQ test—at the age of 9.
Favorite Quote: "It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth', and so it goes away. Puzzling."
THE BELL JAR
SCHOOL SHOW
DANIEL H. WILSON
1920-1987
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
If "Catcher in the Rye" is the gold standard for pessimistic, angst-ridden boys, then "The Bell jar" has been the near equivalent for anti-establishment
women everywhere since its release in 1963. Yet another semi-autobiographical novel on this list, "The Bell Jar" was Plath's only novel amidst her short story and poetic works. Esther, the novel's protagonist, is smart, beautiful and talented but incurably sardonic and distant from most others. She is continually disappointed by her romantic relationships and begins to lose interest in her writing and schoolwork. Her descent into severe depression and psychosis is quite sudden and peculiar. "The Bell Jar" addresses self-identity and the often-mysterious distance between men and women. Plath committed suicide just months after the book's publication.
NICK MALONE
Favorite Quote: "I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."

On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Most people still champion Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" as the quintessential American classic of the beat generation. Kerouac wrote the novel in a stream-of-consciousness
KEROUAC
style, hammering out the story in a mere three weeks on a 120-foot paper roll. The story follows Sal Paradise, an alter ego of Kerouac, as he and his intellectual buddies (modeled after Kerouac's own beatnik friends) race around America in search of, well, something. Sal and his friends care little about their destinations, only that they keep moving and living life to the fullest extent. "On the Road" celebrates the freedom of the American frontier in a post-war world and has influenced countless artists since its release. There is also a film adaptation currently in the works.
Favorite Quote: "N isn't true that you start your life a sweet child, believing in everything under your father's roof? Then comes the day of the Laodicea, when you know you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, and with the visage of a grusome, grieving ghost you go shuddering through nightmare life."
Anthem (or anything else) by Ayn Rand
Rand is by far the most polarizing author on this list, and "Anthem" is perhaps her least known work. "Anthem" is very short novella
AYN RAND
FIRST EDITION
LONGMANS
(about 90 pages) set in a dystopian future in which individualism has been completely nullified and the government assumes total control of the people. Each person is given an identifying number and condemned to a monotonous life dictated entirely by "the Council." Slowly, the protagonist, Equality 7-2521, discovers what it means to be human, finds love and escapes the reigns of collectivism. I suggest reading "Anthem" before moving on to Ayn Rand's more expansive works. There is not much middle ground with Rand; you'll likely love her or hate her ideology.
Favorite Quote: "The secrets of the earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them."
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
THE
CATCHER
IN THE
RYE
J. D. SAUNGER
The most controversial American classic is also my No.1 recommendation for every student's personal library. The story's protagonist, 17-year old Holden Caulfield, is perhaps the most lovable anti-hero in modern literature. While many novels glorify the coming-of-age transition between childhood and adulthood, Holden has a strong disdain for it. He thinks most adults are "phony" and mourns the loss of innocence when a person matures. Holden himself is alienated, angst-ridden and dreadfully cynical. He smokes, curses and is just generally offensive. Most of us have at one time or another felt exactly as Holden does, making him one of the more relatable outcasts in recent
RELIGION
now where the hell you are. Girls, Jesus Christ
you can drive you crazy. They really can."
Favorite Quote: "That's the thing about girls.
Every time they do something pretty...you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls, Jesus Christ."
Freedom still limited in US
We have a long way to go when it comes to eliminating religious discrimination in the United States. On one hand, the Kansas House just passed a law (seemingly in direct response to anti-discrimination laws passed recently in Lawrence) allowing for flat-out discrimination against people based on gender identity, sexuality, race, etc. if such discrimination is part of an individual's religious beliefs. Though I am hard pressed to figure out exactly why parts of our country's majority religions condone discrimination in these ways, this means citizens may now use religion as an excuse for institutional discrimination.
By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
On the other hand, minority religions and even minority perspectives on religion are often attacked or considered "un-American." It's a commonly discussed problem that, at least in the foreseeable future, a Muslim president or an atheist president seems impossible.
Though I support civil discourse and disagreement because it encourages personal growth and the sharing of knowledge, I am disheartened when I see students dismiss Christians in a generalizing manner as totally and completely irrational or when I see hyper-religious writers reject groups simply because of different beliefs of which they disprove. But every now and then, I am reminded of how far we have come on the road to religious freedom. Unfortunately, that reminder usually comes in the form of a blatant violation of this freedom in another part of the world.
I had the privilege a couple weeks ago of meeting some students at our university who are part of the Baha'i Student
Organization. I'll admit that I didn't know much about the Baha'i religion before listening to them, but I learned that it is a peaceful religion focused on the gradual movement toward unity and justice in the world.
The student organization showed a documentary at Liberty Hall at the end of March called "Education Under Fire." The film highlighted the devastating struggles practitioners of the Baha'i faith face in Iran. They are persecuted in their own country, many executed for their beliefs, and they are not allowed to receive an education.
Many Iranian Baha'is study at the Baha'i Institute for Higher Learning (BHILO), a school created to provide a safe and open learning environment for young Baha'is. Though the school provided the benefit of a centralized education for marginalized students, the organization was constantly in danger of being shut down by the Iranian government. At one point, the school was closed and
Peace activists around the world have been calling for an end to the persecution. But to the political authorities in Iran, the Baha'i are undeserving of an education. They know that knowledge is power, and they refuse to grant the possibility of power to this oppressed group.
many professors and administrators were arrested. But Baha'i and allied Iranians still continue to use their network to educate students, rebuilding the school once again.
In an effort to continue their education, many Iranian Baha's moved to the United States for further schooling. However, the documentary highlighted the difficulties these students face in getting their credits accepted at American universities. Though they may have excelled at the BIHL, the curriculum standards may not be easy to match universities here. These students have a hunger for learning and a desire to work hard to achieve; they should not be prevented from learning here in the United States after already overcoming the obstacles to learning in Iran.
Some universities have begun accepting credits from BIHL, but the University of Kansas currently does not. The Baha'a Student Organization is collecting signatures on a letter to the University asking that administrators consider accepting these credits so that students from Iran who pursued their education through the BIHL can have the educational opportunities here that they should have had in Iran. We should support this student organization and echo its request that the University looks into accepting BIHL credits. Though religious freedom is not perfectly protected here, we must do what we can to protect the freedoms of those who have elsewhere experienced significant discrimination.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to Friday's results from Student Senate elections
Friday's Kansan said that SPQR had gotten two out of the 54 senator seats and that they were satisfied with that. Monday, with further votes tallied up. The Kansan pointed out that it actually didn't get any votes. With all due respect to SPQR, it failed on its mission.
Unlike last year, this time I voted for KUnited because they had the best platform. Let me rephrase that: They had a platform. The lack of political competition was printed on voters' lack of interest on the run. Only 8 percent of students cast their vote this year, falling from last year's high of 21 percent. This proves the lack of interest from students in their government, and there are plenty of reasons why that happens.
First of all, students generally undermine Student Senate's influence on the University. A lot of people don't realize that years ago, it was the Senate that fought for free KU on Wheels, which saves you ton of money each year, and installed the SafeBus and SafeRide system. Not to mention that the 600 student organizations on campus, which propel so many rich events that can and should be taken advantage of by all students, get their funding from Student Senate. This apathy toward the student government should stop, as it has the power to voice our concerns
But it's not the student body's fault; neither of these year's coalitions had a strong platform that could captivate the student's body attention. Last year's KUnited coalition proposed the bold goal of reducing general requirements in order to increase the speed and rate of successful bachelor's degrees. On the other hand, RenewKU proposed to serve beer in the Union to promote safe celebration and increase the University's revenue string. Both of these examples were the most controversial ideas, but those were the ones that drew the most people into the voting booths.
This year's coalitions had, in my opinion, weaker goals than the last term's, with SPQR's platform being as vague as reducing students' debt and KUnite'd's boldest propositions being stabilizing the grading system and creating a Spanish minor. Not to say that their objectives were weak, but they could have definitively been better.
SPQR's mission was to "start a conversation," but the conversation didn't start. In fact, fewer people had their voices heard. Hopefully, this will change next year.

Junior infielder Kevin Kuntz quickly catches the ball to throw it back to first base to get his opponent out during Tuesday night's game against Baker University. The Jayhawks won 7-3.
Kansas defeats NAIA Baker
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
Coming off of its best victory of the season — Sunday's 5-3 decision against No. 2 Texas A&M
the Kansas baseball team knew that it needed to avoid a letdown against the Baker Wildcats at Hogland Ballpark Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks, despite a paltry 14-23 record, are far superior to the Wildcats (23-21), an NAIA team. As a Division 1 team, the Jayhawks feature more talent across the diamond.
Kansas' freshman starter Robert Kahana appeared to be going through the motions early, allowing a leadoff double and a run in the first inning.
"After I gave up that first double, I was like, 'What? How did that happen?' " Kahana said. "I just
picked it up and started throwing strikes. I just let the defense work."
Kahana pitched 5 innings, allowing one run on four hits and a walk. He also achieved a careerhigh with six strikeouts on the evening.
The Jayhawks regained their focus in the bottom half of the first inning when senior third baseman Zac Elgie hit a towering two-run home run to left field. Kansas never looked back, going on to win the game, 7-3.
"He's done it all season," Kahana said of Elgie. "He's either going to hit a bomb or hit a base hit up the middle. That kid is unbelievable right now. He's swinging the bat well."
As a senior, Elgie has played in enough midweek games to know that if not approached correctly,
they can be closer than expected. For teams like Baker, a chance to play in a Division 1 stadium means the world to its players.
Elgie said the upperclassman talked to the younger Jayhawks about approaching Tuesday's game like any other.
"We addressed it early on," Elgie said. "These guys are here to beat us. We told the younger guys that Baker will give it their all because they wanted to beat us. I think they responded."
With a looming weekend series in Austin against No. 23 Texas, coach Ritch Price didn't want to risk approaching the game any differently than a Big 12 game.
"I think it was important that we got back on the field and have a chance to do all of our pregame routine and prepare properly," Price said.
Freshman outfielder Dakota Smith heeded Price and Elgie's advice and had a big game. Smith went 2-for-3 with an RBI. His one out was a deep drive to the warning track in center field, which Baker's center fielder caught just before running into the wall.
"Sometimes you play down to the level of a team that is not as good as you," Smith said. "Today, we didn't do that. We stayed competitive, and we did what we needed to do."
Kahana said that Tuesday's victory was key for keeping the momentum from Sunday's victory in the Javhawks' dugout.
"It was a big momentum feeder," Kahana said. "We just got to keep it going and get ready for Austin."

would not be happy if they played in the WNIT again and would only be satisfied with an NCAA appearance. Henrickson and her team delivered and silenced the critics with their first bid since 2000.
FROM BONNIE PAGE 10
"It was her chance to overcome so much of that and we saw it on a big stage," Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger said.
PLAYING FOR EACH OTHER
Kim Mulkey, coach of the national champion Baylor Bears, watched Kansas' second-round victory against Delaware from the team plane before joining Kansas in Des Moines, Iowa, for the third and fourth rounds. She and Henrickson have coached against each other in the Big 12, but have a tremendous amount of mutual respect and communicate throughout the season by text.
Mulkey was one of the first people to text Henrickson and offer support after seeing Davis fall, and when Baylor guard Shanae Washington was injured a couple weeks later, Henrickson returned the gesture. Mulkey said the struggle made the success a little sweeter in the end.
"I am just happy for Bonnie," Mulkey said. "For that team to just respond and not feel sorry for themselves and to get here, I was cheering for them as I watched them play Delaware."
She even admitted to a quick fist pump on the plane in support of her friend and in celebration for a team she had lobbied for throughout the season. Mulkey said she had thought all season the Jayhawks would be in the tournament.
It is that struggle that gave them the strength to persevere and, ultimately, have the success they did. Zenger compared the season to a story book with a happy ending.
"The beauty of athletics is to struggle through adversity and they are kind of the poster child of that right now." Zenger said. "They struggled through that adversity and got to a pretty special place."
They went to the tournament to prove themselves and when they focused and played with a purpose, they proved to the nation that Kansas women's basketball can contend.
"It's one thing to get them to play with each other unselfishly, but it is another thing when you get them and watch them play for each other."
Henrickson said. "That is a threshold that not everyone can cross, but we clearly crossed that."
CREATING A TOURNAMENT TRADITION
As Davis rehabilitates after surgery and the other players return to individual practices, the focus returns to the court as well. Henrickson said the tournament experience will help validate the work they did last season and the work they will start shortly.
And though the accomplishments this year were ground-breaking for Kansas women's basketball, Hendrickson won't rest on one seasons success.
"To me, there is pressure every year because I want to do that every year and go farther," Henrickson said. "I want to go to an Elite Eight, a Final Four and win a National Championship here; that's why I came here. I am not going to sit back here, have it cushy and on vacation because we did that; there is a lot of work to be done."
Sutherland is the only senior Kansas loses this season and the program has two recruits coming in who are excited to join the team. With Davis back and junior guard Angel Goodrich ready to lead the Jayhawks, they have their eyes set on a future of consistent tournament appearances.
In her eight years with Kansas, Henrickson has put together an experienced staff that spent time at Nebraska, West Virginia and Central Michigan. She did all that with the goal of giving her team the best chance at making the tournament, and now that it made it, she couldn't be happier.
"No one wants these kids to be successful and for this program to be successful more than I do," Henrickson said. "It doesn't mean I am more important than anyone else, but no one wants it more than I do."
Henrickson speaks of each young lady with pride. She has worked hard to make sure she creates a family atmosphere here at Kansas. With the net hanging symbolically over her shoulder, the team has tied knots unbreakable by the stress of injury and disappointment. They are united by their success this season, but most of all by their devotion to each other.

Jayhawks beat Baker, win second straight
Early Kansas home run gives young players a chance to play in later innings
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team (14-23- 3-9 Big 12) kept its winning streak alive Tuesday night with a 7-3 victory against Baker University.
Coming off their biggest win of the season, the Jayhawks found themselves in the familiar spot of trailing in the first inning. But as Kansas did on Sunday against No. 2 Texas A&M, the offense responded.
With one on and one out in the first inning, senior third baseman Zac Eligie launched the go-ahead two-run homerun deep over the trees in left field. Eligie's homer - his fifth of the season - gave Kansas a 2-1 lead, which it never relinquished to the NAIA Wildcats.
Heading into the game, Elgie reminded his teammates that they had to deliver against Baker's best
shot, but he led by example with the monster home run.
"It's one of things against these NAIA teams, where you know
you're going to get a pitch to hit," Elgie said. "The hardest part is laying off those pitches that are their pitches and trying to find the one that you want."
"When you're trying to clear your bench,it's important to get ahead early."
Coach Ritch
your bench, it's important to get ahead early," Price said. "We had to get a clutch swing for that to happen. If we ended up playing seven
Price emphasized that these midweek games are meant for the development of his younger players; but, to give the bench more playing time, Kansas needed an early lead. Eligie's home run gave Kansas the advantage necessary for Price to turn toward his bench.
COACH RITCH PRICE
Kansas baseball coach
"When you're trying to clear
up playing seven
or eight of our regular guys, then this game doesn't do us any good at all."
The two first-
inning runs were
all that freshman
pitcher Robert
Kahana needed
to hold off Baker.
Kahana pitched
five innings and allowed one run on four hits, striking out a career-high six batters. The win improved Kahana's record to 3-1, and he holds a team-best 2.92 ERA.
The Jayhawks used 20 players in the ballgame, and freshman outfielder Dakota Smith led the young players, hitting two-for-three with
an RBI. Smith is on a three-game hitting streak, which has improved his batting average by 43 points in one week (.246). The key to Smith's improvement at the plate has been simplifying his offensive approach.
"It definitely feels good to get back on track," Smith said. "They gave us pitches to hit, and we hit them."
The Jayhawks will take the field tonight against the University of St. Mary - another NAIA team - and Price plans to apply Tuesday night's approach to Wednesday's matchup.
"I expect to do basically the same thing," Price said. "That's the plan, and we'll start the freshman Drew Morovick and hopefully go out there and do the same thing tomorrow."

Downtown streets to host shot put
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
For the second consecutive year, the Kansas Relays will bring the nation's only street shot put event to downtown Lawrence tonight at 6. Eighth Street will be blocked off, allowing hundreds of spectators to gather and watch 300-pound men throw 16-pound balls down the road.
This year's participants—many of whom will compete in this summer's Olympics — include Kevin Bookout, shot put world champion Ryan Whiting and
2008 Olympic competitors Dylan Armstrong, Christian Cantwell, Reese Hoffa and Adam Nelson. Kansas junior Mason Finley, who is healing from a herniated disc that deterred him for the entire indoor season, was scheduled to compete, but a recent ankle injury will keep him from participating.
"It's an unbelievable meet," said Andy Kokhanovsky, Kansas' throwing coach and former shot put Olympian. "It's one of the greatest events around the world. I wish [Finley] would compete here, but it didn't work out."
Coach Kokhanovsky, who grew
up in the Soviet Union, said that he has never experienced anything like the downtown shot put event. He said that it's a great opportunity for people to educate themselves about an Olympic event in a sociable, local environment.
Meet director Milan Donley came up with the idea for a street shot put event after he heard about these events taking place in Europe.
"A couple years ago, we were trying to figure out something new," Donley said. "I heard that they had been doing some shot
puts in Europe outside of stadiums, in streets, in train stations. Some guys were throwing over a moat by a castle."
After the success of last year's event, other communities and meet directors are contacting Donley about organizing more events like the one in Lawrence.
"To me, it's one of those events that a non-track person can come and enjoy," Donley said. "And to some, maybe it's a nice introduction to track and field."

ROWING
Freshman chosen for US National Team camp
After last weekend's success at the Knecht Cup, the University rowing team celebrated two more victories this week.
The varsity four boat that won in New Jersey was named the Conference USA Boat of the Week on Tuesday. The winning boat consisted of juniors Emily Starr and Ashleigh Allam, seniors Kathryn Schoonover, Paige Stephens and coxwain Lindsay Brickleman. Kansas beat several big-name competitors, including the University of Massachusetts by eight seconds, followed by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania State, Villanova and Old Dominion. One of the younger faces on the varsity team was selected to attend the 2012 US Rowing Women's National Team Freshman Camp this summer because of her potential. Freshman Erin
Brogan was selected Tuesday along with 23 other athletes from across the United States to attend the camp.
This year, Brogan progressed from the second varsity eight to the first varsity eight. The camp will prepare her for the national-team experience through training sessions two to three times a day with other athletes of a similar level. Brogan will also learn to row in all boat categories and refine her technique, as well as address the psychological aspects of competing.
The camp will be held June 11 to 17 at the University of Washington in Seattle. Connor Bullis, the women's varsity assistant coach at the University of Washington, runs the camp. National team contender and former University of Washington rowe Jenny Park will assist Bullis.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 9
"Here is my crazy, unbelieveable prediction for the 2012 NFL Draft — Weeden will get drafted as the third QB off the board before Tahannah. My reasoning is simple, actually. Whoever drafts the third QB off the board will be reaching, so why reach for a player unless he can help you right away?"
— Migidee on Fanposts on arrowheadpride.com
FACT OF THE DAY
The NFL Draft now runs for three days, with the first round in primetime on Thursday. Friday consists of second- and third-round picks, and Saturday is the fourth- through seventh-round picks.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW
Q. Who is the quarterback that the Chiefs drafted in the 1983 NFL draft instead of Dan Marino and Jim Kelly?
A: Todd Blackledge
NFL Draft might help Chiefs' quarterback problem
— bleacherreport.com
The most wonderful time of the NFL offseason is almost here: the NFL Draft.
Yes, the NFL Draft, where fervent football fans lock into their televisions, tablets and smartphones to find out what the upcoming season's talent will look like.
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
I still plan a good chunk of the weekend around watching the draft and, for the life of me, I still can't figure out why I love the event so much.
Maybe it's the detailed player evaluation, or maybe it's watching the draft analysts, hoping to one day have their job. Since I no longer even resemble an athlete, maybe I could share part of the screen with Mel Kiper, Jr. and Todd McShay, discussing which Division III wide receiver has a chance to be a late pick in the fourth round because of his upside potential and great hands.
Regardless if that happens or not, I still enjoy the NFI. Draft. But beyond the mock drafts, the Kansas City fan
only cares about one thing: Will the Chiefs actually go out on a limb this year and take a quarterback with the 11th-overall pick?
Across the board, all I hear from Chiefs fans is that the team is a few players away from being a consistent contender.
For the most part, I agree. The Chiefs have a solid defensive core led by Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Eric Berry. All three of these players provide an on-field general to dictate coach
Romeo Crennel's defense.
Now back to original problem: the quarterback.
The Chiefs even maintained some offensive players, too. When healthy, Jamaal Charles is a freak out of the backfield with track-like quickness. Despite his off-the-field interactions, Dwayne Bowe has emerged as an elite wide receiver talent who uses his physical prowess and amazing hands to pull down some incredible catches.
KU
I like Matt Cassel. I like Matt Cassel a lot, actually. He's a good ambassador for the Chiefs and is a solid NFL quarterback, who is able to manage a game well. But the Chiefs are not paying Matt Cassel to manage a game. They're paying him to be on the same level as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. At this point, I haven't seen that level of achievement from Cassel.
That's why the Chiefs need to put pressure on him this year and draft
either Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill or Brandon Weeden from Oklahoma State. Both quarterbacks were exceptional in the Big 12 this year.
If I were the Chiefs, I would take Weeden with my second-round pick. He's experienced and professional — thanks to his days of baseball-playing — and knows how to deal with a prime-time receiver (i.e. Justin Blackmon).
Both Tannehill or Weeden could give Cassel the necessary push to prove himself.

COMMENTARY
Bringing new life to fans
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
The time is approaching for Kansas football. It's time to flaunt its new style — its new swagger, if you will. Time for quarterback Dayne Crist to strut his stuff and coach Charlie Weis to begin his path of redemption. Time to show off its improvements.
Yes, the spring game for Kansas football is 10 days away, and it's time to see if the football culture at Kansas is actually changing to change.
Remember, it was only one year ago that former coach Turner Gill was saying that fans needed to have faith in the program, but instead of believing, the bleachers reflected the spring sun as empty seats and sporadic play filled Memorial Stadium during the spring football game.
Quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Quinn Mechum had mediocre games, throwing a hair more than 100 yards. New defensive coordinator Vic Shealy was in over his head.
Most of Lawrence and Kansas fans had no reason to believe in Kansas football, no reason to hope that change was coming, no reason to think that the Jayhawks would have a winning season.
But now, things are different. The Athletics Department is doing everything it can to re-brand Kansas football to the student body and alumni. And Saturday, April 28, will be its time to lift the curtain on the future of Kansas football.
Now is actually the time to start "believing" in Kansas football.
We all anxiously watched the conference realignment situation. We all saw how the football program almost, or at least appeared to, severely hurt the chances Kansas had of getting picked up by a top conference.
It's no coincidence that Zenger brought Weis in now. Kansas football needed a way to get back in the good graces of Jayhawks fans, and Weis was the best solution.
How much will Kansas' record actually improve this season? Hard to say. But there is no question that Kansas football will be better, and that thought alone will bring more fans to the stadium for a scrimmage than ever before.
People are excited about Crist. People want to see Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo. People want to see the team win, and now, they actually believe that it can happen.
Fans are excited that teams such as Georgia Tech won't rush for more than 600 yards against Kansas football this year. Fans are excited that they won't have to worry about winning the easy games early in the season. Fans are excited that Weis will take care of business, or he'll at least do everything in his power to fix this program; after all, it's Weis' reputation on the line.
So next Saturday, when Memorial Stadium comes to life, soak it in. This is the tipping point of Kansas football. If it doesn't succeed now, it's hard to say that it ever will. It's time to embrace Kansas football again. It's time to start caring.

OLYMPICS OF KANSAS
Annual relays bring world's best athletes to Lawrence
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
"The Olympic dream starts here," say the advertisements around Lawrence and on the Internet for the 85th Kansas Relays.
And it just might be true. Two months before the Olympic Trials take place, many of the nation's best track and field athletes gather in Lawrence before beginning their prospective journey to the 2012 Olympics.
"The last five years, we've probably had as many Olympians run on our track as anybody," said Milan Donley, the meet director of the Kansas Relays. "That's part of the track and field that people need to come out and see, is those Olympians."
Donley spent seven years as the horizontal jumps coach at Kansas, which is one reason why he is really excited to see the downtown
field", Donley said. "If it's a good day, they could jump over 22 feet, which is definitely world-class."
Donley remembers during his coaching days when a senior named Eric Babb from Garden City won the men's long jump competition.
Many people who have been involved with the Relays seem to have a favorite memory from the meet.
"Through his diligence and never-give-up attitude, he went from being a walk-on to being an All-American." Donley said referring to Babb, who won the long jump in 2006. "Winning the Kansas Relays was a real special moment for him and for myself as well."
For Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine, one of

and we were a highly ranked collegiate team," Redwine said. "We were college kids racing professional athletes, and they showed us why we were not
" T he Philadelphia Pioneers were a club of all pros,
professionals."
Despite Redwine's loss to the Pioneers, his Razorback teams managed to perform well at the Relays. He still has the watches he received from winning at the Kansas Relays.
This is the only home meet that the Kansas track and field team hosts during the outdoor season, and it allows athletes from the area to invite family and friends.
"I do not have a good record at the Kansas Relays, but I'm hoping to turn that around," junior javelin thrower Jesse Vaughn said. "My parents should be able to make it — my sister and grandparents hopefully."
The family connections that have continued throughout the past 84 Kansas Relays are one thing that Donley thinks have made the meet a special event. Some athletes competing will have a parent, grandparent or sibling who once competed in the Relays as well watching from the stands.
The 85th Kansas Relays officially begins tonight in the downtown men's shot put and continue until Saturday, with world-class athletes competing in all the track and field events.

Henrickson feeling strong in 2012

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson yells formations to her players during the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament March 19. Henrickson doesn't plan on coasting on this season's success next year.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
She talks about the trials and frustrations the jayhawks faced this year, but also of the motherly pride she feels looking at her team, which fought all the way to the Sweet 16 and refused to give up.
"The best days are when you get to watch them celebrate like that and just be able to sit back and watch," Henrickson said. "For me, there is a lot of pride in being a part of those kids getting to experience that. They will remember this for the rest of their lives."
The NCAA Tournament bid and consequent run to the third round brought the excitement and relief the Kansas women's basketball team has been waiting for. Eight years into Henrickson's career at Kansas, there is finally some buzz about her program after the season has ended.
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Freshman guard Asia Boyd walked into Henrickson's office one day after they returned with an enthusiastic message.
Bonnie Henrickson sits at her desk surrounded by freshly printed letters to recruits. The net that her Jawhayks cut down before going to the Sweet 16 a month ago is hanging from the shelves behind her left shoulder.
"We are going every year," Boyd said.
Despite the loss, some of the players were back in the gym two days later. The four freshmen met up at the Ambler Student Recreation Center and the team was eager to get back into workouts. Henrickson said they have returned with a new fire and desire to repeat their success.
"Yes ma'am." Henrickson answered.
DON'T LET IT GO
Henrickson can rattle off the score, key plays and the last couple
possessions of each game this season. From the 11-1 non-conference start, 5-1 start in conference play and the roller coaster that followed after junior forward Carolyn Davis was injured and eventually to her first tournament appearance at Kansas.
This season was a test for the jayhawks and their coach, who have struggled through a litany of high impact injuries in the last several seasons and failed to break into the NCAA Tournament. In mid-February, they were dealt another blow when Davis tore her ACL and dislocated her left knee in a loss at Kansas State. The team started to spiral downward, but pulled out key victories on the road against Texas Tech and Oklahoma, both ranked teams, to end the regular season.
Given their recent history with injuries, Henrickson approached her team about her expectations following this latest injury. She told them about how previous teams had struggled and finally given in and made the team promise her that it wouldn't happen this time.
The team's motto this season was "Believe in We" and that proved to be its biggest challenge, but also its biggest strength.
They didn't let it happen this time.
"You look at what we are able to do down the stretch and even the devastation of that day over in Manhattan and then the massive roller coaster that we couldn't find our way off of there for a couple weeks, but the resiliency and the resolve, that goes back to character," Henrickson said. "Those kids weren't pointing a finger at me or each other. They were very supportive of each other."
This resiliency led to their first NCAA Tournament berth and, in a similar fashion, a rebirth for the program, which was struggling to find an image after a series of recent disappointments.
That summer, she served as an assistant for Team USA in the World University Games and then moved to head coach of the gold-medal winning women's USA Basketball team in 2003.
She took Iowa to the Sweet 16 during her two-year stint as its head coach before returning to Virginia Tech as a head coach. She guided Virginia Tech to the Sweet 16 in 1998-1999, her second season at the helm. She was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year and was a finalist for national Coach of the Year honors.
THE SAINT OF ST. CLOUD STATE
Henrickson, though, is no stranger to this kind of postseason success. She played at St. Cloud State from 1983-1986 and led her team to the NCAA Division II Quarterfinals three times. She still ranks in the top five in SCSU program history in points, rebounds, free throws and free-throw percentage and maintains the lead in games played.
She served as an assistant for five years at Virginia Tech before being promoted to associate head coach and leading the Hokies to their firstever NCAA Tournament.
In 15 seasons as a head coach, she has led teams to postseason play 13 times, including six NCAA Tournament appearances. Kansas had four straight losing seasons before she took over, and in eight years, she has taken Kansas to five-straight post-season appearances, capped off by this year's Sweet 16.
With four hard-fought seasons that ended in the WNIT, the community around her was getting restless. The injuries had a great effect, but the Jayhawks wanted something more. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland said throughout the season that she

Difference in budgets meant as a message
VIKAAS SHANKER
KUinited spent $6,233.57 on student elections this year while opposing coalition SPQR spent $50 total, according to expense reports filed with the Senate's election commission Monday night.
Brian Sultana, SPQR's campaign manager, said that the lack of spending was a part of the coalition's message.
vshanker@kansan.com
KUnited swept the elections, winning president, vice president and 53 of 54 senator seats. Specifically, the presidential election was a windfall with student body president-elect Hannah Bolton and vice president-elect Brandon Woodard taking 85 percent of the vote.
SPQR reportedly spent $50 on its campaign: $15 on chalk and $35 on cloth for six togas. The materials were personally paid for by individual coalition members.
"We wanted to highlight the influence of money at the student government level," Sultana said. "It was a very bare-bones message, but we think that the best way to go. You can see the parallels of spending in larger national campaigns. It's an issue even at our level."
KUnited's budget was more complex, containing expenses, sponsorships and individual contributions.
KUnited reportedly spent $2,633.96 for campaign materials including supplies, chalk, buttons, banners, posters, flyers, KUnited cups and sunglasses. It also spent $176.55 on food and water, $3,223.06 on T-shirts, and $200 on the venue cost for a party.
"We take every coalition seriously," Woodard said about the difference in spending between the coalitions. "We don't really look at the numbers other coalitions spent."
Woodard said KUnited spent less on this campaign than previous years and that the amount spent isn't the main issue.
"If we're not out spending that, students won't know who KUInstad is and they won't care," Woodard said. "It takes money, time and a lot of energy. It's very vital for a successful campaign."
While KUnited's spending may have contributed to the landslide victory, Woodard said listening to students during the five-week campaign was a major factor.
"We hear what they want," Woodard said about the impact active tabling had on the campaign. "It's one week we can go to students and tell them about the ideas we got from them."

LGBT GAYPRIL FESTIVITIES
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Inject April with a healthy dose of music, comedy, film and drag queens and you get Gaypril.
The month-long celebration put on by Queens and Allies includes entertainers, educational workshops, a film festival, a pride parade and prom, as well as an on campus drag show.
Nathan Stitt, a senior from Clay Center and the media coordinator for Queens and Allies, said that having a full month of events, rather than just a week in years past allows members of the LGBT community to socialize and celebrate while educating other students about the gay community.
"They definitely get to see different facets," Stitt said. "Some people might think it's all a drag show, but some people might never have seen a drag show. I think it's good for them to realize these people aren't that much different from you or me when it comes to how they live their daily lives or treat other people."
Events also provide learning opportunities for anyone who might be interested in finding out more about bisexuality, pansexuality and asexuality.
Caitlin Riley, a senior from Overland Park, took part in an educational event where people tried to guess the sexual orientation of people on the panel based on their physical traits and responses to questions.
Although she thought it was interesting to hear people's guesses and looks forward to attending the pride prom and parade later this month, Gaypril is bittersweet to her.
"I wish Gaypril didn't have to exist," Riley said. "I wish everyone was understanding and open-hearted to others and loved thy neighbor for being a person, not just if they fit the heterosexist expectations conservative society is still trying to cookie cutter into a world that obviously does not operate that way."
Still, she thinks the events are an important opportunity for students to realize how similar they are, regardless of their gender identity.
One of last week's performers, comedian Fortune Feimster, said she was excited to be participating in an event that fostered that sense of community on a college campus.
I'm so happy to see more and more people be accepting of other people who are different than them," Feimster said. "When I was in college, there weren't many people who were out."

Additional expansion to help recruit students
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
The University School of Engineering looks to recruit students through expansion.
The University Engineering Initiative Act was approved in order to reach goals established by Kansas Senate. These goals include increasing the number of engineering graduates to 1,365 per year by 2021. The current average among the three Kansas Regent schools is 875. To reach the goal there will need to be an annual increase of 490 graduates. The University of Kansas is looking to increase the number of Bachelor of Science graduates to 420 by 2021.
In March 2011 the Kansas Senate approved multi-year legislation that would expand the capacity of the engineering schools at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
first year cost to the state to start this effort will be $400,000 and after the fourth year the cost will be $15 million. This money will be used for expansion and operating expenses in order to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Kansas is looking use the funds to include new classrooms and lab space including research labs.
WASHINGTON
The School of Engineering wants to take advantage of the Act by expanding on to the north side of The Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center. It is scheduled to be completed sometime this year; however, the expansion is still in the preliminary stages.
Across the three universities, the

Gabe Bliss, a junior from Olathe, is an undergraduate representative on the expansion committee said the committee met for the first time two weeks ago. The committee is made up of faculty, staff, department chairs and graduate level students.
Associate Dean of the School of Engineering, JoAnn Browning, answers questions from students during a collaborative meeting at Eaton Hall Wednesday evening to discuss plans for a new building proposal for the School of Engineering. The new building would most likely be based on a more interactive, collaborative style of teaching as opposed to the traditional lecture hall model.
CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
Associate Dean JoAnn Browning said there is no current time table for the expansion to begin, but the committee is looking to have the design ready by the fall 2012.

"We are making a push right now to get as much input from students as we can because we will be losing a big part of our student population over the summer," Browning said, "We are going to have other forums once the design is in place, we are going to show sketches and mock ups of the building. We want comments and want to know what people think, there will be other phases on the wav."
The estimated expansion will be between 100,000-120,000 square feet.

for more than two decades because of fears the nation's authoritarian rulers would not allow her to return.
The junta that ruled the country for almost half a century ceded power to a new government last year that has embarked on a series of widely praised reforms, including opening a dialogue with Suu Kyi and allowing her to run for — and win — a seat
Nyan Win, a spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, said the trip would prove that Suu Kyi "can travel freely. This is a very positive indicator."

Suu Kyi has not left Myanmar since 1988.

Since then, the daughter of national independence hero Aung San has spent 15 years under house arrest. For most of that time, she was separated from her husband Michael Aris and their two children, who still live abroad. In 1999, Suu Kyi refused to leave Myanmar to visit Aris as he was dying because of concerns that the former ruling junta would not allow her back.

During a brief visit to Myanmar on Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron invited Suu Kyi to visit, saying it would be a sign of progress if she were able to leave and then return to carry out her duties as a lawmaker.

The Pakistan army chief calls for a peaceful resolution with India during a press conference on Wednesday. Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani wants to spend more money on developing his country and less on defense.
SKARDU, Pakistan — Pakistan's powerful army chief on Wednesday called for the peaceful resolution of a Himalayan glacier dispute with rival nuclear power India, and suggested his country should spend less on defense and more on development.

Gen. Ashfaq Pavez Kayani's comments came after he visited the site of an avalanche near the Siachen Glacier that last week buried 140 people, including 129 Pakistani soldiers. The tragedy has refocused attention on what critics say is a futile standoff with India over an uninhabited stretch of ice where more troops have been killed by the elements than warfare.
Kayani noted that India began the conflict when its troops occupied the uninhabited Siachen Glacier in 1984. Pakistan sent in troops, and since then both armies have been facing each other on the glacier, which is located north of the disputed territory of Kashmir.
The Pakistani army chief said the conflict "should be resolved," and in order to do that "the two countries have to talk about" the issue.
India have warmed over the last year, especially regarding trade. But there has been little progress on other areas of disagreement.
Kayani did not set a timeframe, and his remarks were in line with Pakistan's general position that talks are needed to resolve all its disputes with its much larger neighbor.

Eight men arrested after video of rape emerges on Internet
JOHANNESBURG When a 17-year-old girl said to have the mental capacity of a 5-year-old was reported missing four weeks ago in the sprawling South African township of Soweto, police distributed her photo and asked neighborhood residents for help.
Then a video emerged of seven men and boys raping the girl. Within a day of media alerting them to the video, police said, they on Wednesday found the girl in a house across Soweto from her home. Eight men and boys were arrested on charges of kidnapping and rape.
The women's league of the governing African National Congress said the
video, apparently recorded on a cell phone, was widely circulated on the Internet and via cell phones. The league said it again raises questions about South Africans' attitudes toward rape and women in a country with horrifically high rape statistics.
"When does it become acceptable amongst a group of peas to rape a girl and laugh about it? It just makes one sick to the stomach," the league said in a statement Wednesday.
Police spokesman Kay Makhubela said soon after learning of the video Tuesday, police, with help from people in Soweto, arrested seven men who appeared in the video. Some of the
suspects identified the girl's possible location in sprawling Soweto, and police moved through that neighborhood Wednesday, announcing on loudspeakers that they planned to search every home.
The eighth suspect then surrendered and the girl was found in his home, Makhubela said. He described her as quiet and apparently traumatized, and said she was taken first to counselors and then to a hospital.
Makhubela said anyone found to have passed along the video could face criminal charges.

'Misunderstanding' leaves 22 dead at the Sudan border
JUBA, South Sudan — Soldiers from Sudan and South Sudan clashed at a river dividing their two countries, leaving 22 dead as fighting spread to a new area of the tense border. A Sudanese official demanded on Wednesday that South Sudan withdraw from an oil-rich area it occupied last week or face a concerted attack.
Tuesday's firefight began 'after a Sudanese soldier shot a South Sudan soldier who was getting water from the river, South Sudan government spokesman Barnada Marial Benjamin said Wednesday. In all, seven South Sudan soldiers and 15 Sudan soldiers died near the town of Meiram, along the border with Sudan's South Kordofan state and South Sudan's Northern Bahr e Ghazal state. he said.
Even as border violence was spreading to new regions, Benjamin labeled the fight as a "misunderstanding" and said he did not think violence would continue there.
The river battle comes amid wider violence along the shared border around the oil town of Heglig, which South Sudan troops took control of last week. Sudanese aircraft have been bombing South Sudan's Unity State as a part of that fighting.
Benjamin said there was no new fighting around Heglig on Wednesday.
But a Sudan official, Mustafa Osman Ismail, warned South Sudan that it must immediately withdraw from Heglig or face counterattacks. Ismail, a senior adviser to Sudan President Omar al-Bashir, spoke in Ethiopia's capital, where he met with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and African Union officials.
He said the trip was intended to "ask those with influence" to persuade South Sudan to withdraw from Heglig.
He said Khartoum is under pressure from Sudan's public to liberate "the invaded territory" after South Sudan TV broadcast images of what he said are medical staff captured in Heglig.

Checks for comics reap huge number in auction
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stephen Fisher, chief executive of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles in New York, said Tuesday that the 1938 check was auctioned online to an unnamed buyer.
"Two people were battling it out over the check," he said of the furious last minute bidding that lifted the price from its start of $1 last month to the final bid
PHILADELPHIA — The $412 check that DC Comics wrote to acquire Superman and other creative works by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster has sold for $160,000 in an online auction.
The check was made out to Siegel and Shuster and deposited. It includes a line item for $130 showing DC paid for full ownership and rights to Superman.
Siegel and Shuster created Superman together while teenagers in Cleveland, Ohio, in the early 1930s. His first appearance was in "Action Comics" No. 1 in April 1938.
Monday night.
And even though the check changed hands, a legal dispute over creator's rights to Superman has raged since then and is far from settled.

That's one exchange from the Sunday premiere of HBO's satiric and hilariously profane "Veep" that doesn't require the insertion of dashes. It also sums up the predicament in which the holder of what our first vice president, John Adams, called "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived" finds herself after losing her party's nomination to a man who apparently stopped calling as soon as shed helped

get him elected.
Not that we're going to find out what party she belongs to, the political realities of "Veep" being so universal that the show was created by a Scotsman, Armando Iannucci ("The Thick of It," "In the Loop"), who's been poking fun at politics mostly from the other side of the pond until now.
"I was always one of those geeks as a teenager who waited who stayed up through the night to watch the American election results," Iannucci told reporters in January.
And, yes, he "loved" "The West Wing." But "that portrayal of Washington as a clean and noble heartland just wouldn't wash with the public. We've seen too much now," said Iannucci.
LOS ANGLES — The late Tupac Shakur rose again Sunday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
brought to life by James Cameron's visual production house, Digital Domain, and two hologram-imaging companies, AV Concepts and the U.K.-based Musion Systems. The image joined headliners Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre for two songs.
MUSIC
West coast rapper revived in new form
It may not be the last we see of the rapper who was shot to death in Las Vegas in 1996. The Wall Street Journal reports that Dr. Dre is planning to take the holographic Shakur on tour in the coming months. "Dre has a massive vision for this," Ed Ulbrich, chief creative officer at Digital Domain, told the Journal. For now, however, Dre is quiet about his plans, and he's asked Digital Domain and AV Concepts to refrain from telling the press too much about how they rendered the musician.
"He doesn't want the magic spoiled for the people who will see it" during his set at the second weekend of the Coachella festival, a spokeswoman for Digital Domain told the Los Angeles Times.
Still, those familiar with special effects say the holographic Shakur was created using the same concept as an old magic trick, Pepper's Ghost. The trick is to have a transparent piece of material that will reflect an image projected onto it while still allowing other people on the stage to move behind and in front of the image.
In the past, the transparent material was usually glass. For Sunday's show, it was Mylar, a highly reflective, lightweight plastic.

Cochlear implants raise questions
My parents are deaf. I grew up in a household where American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English were used alongside one another. I also went to school with the same 90 kids from kindergarten until 8th grade, until I was shuffled off to high school, with over half of those 90 kids going with me. Because of this, I've spent most of my life surrounded by people who already knew about my parents being deaf.
Every so often, a personal detail would slip that would confuse someone who was not 'in the know,' and I'd give the abbreviated version: "Oh yeah, my parents are deaf—no, they don't lip-read, yes, I know my siblings and I aren't deaf, yes, I know sign language, yeah, it is pretty cool."
I'm used to these types of questions, and my responses are automatic. A few years ago,
however, a new question started to be asked — a question that forces me to recognize the divide that I straddle, that breach between my hearing world and my parents' Deaf one.
"What do you think about cochlear implants?"
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted electronic devices that allow a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. Doctors and scientists alike have tried to develop what is sometimes referred to as "bionic ears" for decades, but it was only in 2005 that the first cochlear implants were successful came about. Cochlear implants are now being heralded as an advancement to help the Deaf Community and praise lauded upon the medical community for finding a 'cure'.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgynn@kansan.com
Cochlear implant surgeries are now being performed in half of all children who are
born deaf, and why not? Hearing parents want their children to be able to hear music, birds singing on a summer's day, the bark of a pet dog — or even throwing out terribly romanticized notions: parents want their children to be able to go to the doctor without an interpreter, to visit a restaurant and not have to scrabble for a slip of paper and pen for a means of communication, to be able to hear the tornado sirens blaring through the streets and not remain oblivious (as I spent one panicked afternoon a few years ago, my mother having just left for the store, her phone left
behind).
Hearing parents don't want their children's lives to be hard. No parent does. For that is what being Deaf is, isn't it? A disability, a misfortune whether its cause is by genetics, disease, or accident. Why wouldn't the Deaf Community be overjoyed to join the hearing world, the whole world, to in fact become whole rather than defective?
These are the thoughts that I see buzzing around in the heads of those who ask me, "what do you think of cochlear implants?" This is not an easy question, and there is not an easy answer, and quite a lot of the Deaf Community is not overjoyed about cochlear implants.
It's not just the fact that cochlear implants require an intensive and risk-filled surgery, or that this surgical process is being pushed on children younger and younger, often on infants now. It's not just that hearing
parents are often being encouraged by doctors to get cochlear implants rather than considering looking into sign language, or trying to look for options within the Deaf Community. It's not just that the technology is less than ten years old and hasn't had the chance to test for long-term side effects. These factor in massively, of course, but they all transpire from one root issue at the cause of this debate about cochlear implants: the Deaf Community is outside the norm of society, and therefore, the Deaf must find a way to fit the mold, to join the Hearing world. The problem with the question "what do you think about cochlear implants?" is that no one is prefacing that question with one that is both vital and never asked: "What does it mean to be Deaf?"

Know the Titanic's history before you watch the movie
When I was 14 years old, I remember going on a field
going on a field trip to the Titanic Museum in Branson, Mo. I remember the stewardesses with British and Irish accents, the replica of Titanic's Grand Staircase, the black and white photos of a nearly finished ship and the gorgeous red dress that Kate Winslet wore in the movie "Titanic."
But more than any of those images, I remember the view from a fictitious deck where Captain Edward John Smith stood the night the RMS Titanic sank.
From there, I walked into a room with the names of passengers on the wall. I opened the passport I'd received as I

entered the museum. The alphabetized names would tell me if my character had lived or died. I lived while so many died.
My character wasn't a character at all; she was a human being.
That's when it hit
"Titanic" won the hearts of viewers with the unlikely love story between two passengers. It depicted the grandness of the newly finished ocean liner that couldn't sink. In the end, the movie even illustrated the reality that so many lives were lost and left floating in the freezing water.
I won't lie, as I realized this, I cried. The value of the lives lost on the Titanic was even more powerful than the movie directed by James Cameron.
me; this wasn't fictional. Out of more than 2,200 passengers, only 706 survived.
"The value of the lives lost on the Titanic was even more powerful than the movie directed by James Cameron."
As time has gone on since the tragedy, Americans have become more and more
detached from the tragedy.
We like to joke that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't really die at the end; he just sunk in that movie to reappear in
"Inception." Sometimes it's easier not to think about the other people on the ship, instead we focus on Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (DiCaprio) and ignore the enormous tragedy the Titanic was.
Today, we don't think twice about the Titanic. It's a movie more than anything else. That movie was just released to theaters in 3D on April 5.
It will undoubtedly draw viewers who saw the movie when it first came out as well as viewers seeing it for the first time.
The next time you see the movie, be it in 3D or not, I implore you to keep the reality in mind. More than 1,500 people died on the Titanic, including its captain. Although the Carpathia rescued any of the survivors she could, more than 75 percent of the crew and 75 percent of the third class passengers perished.
Titanic dominated the news for weeks as the New York Times covered, not only the initial sinking of the ship, but also the arrival of Carpathia and the bodies of the deceased to New York.
TITLES
I doubt the Titanic will ever lose interest for American audiences. The stories, artifacts, and discoveries surrounding the Titanic each bring something new to the table.
Before you re-watch "Titanic," take some time to learn more about the actual RMS Titanic. The movie will mean so much more and the journey will seem so much more powerful. Never forget that this tragedy of 100 years ago affected more lives than that of a fictional Rose Dawson. It really happened.

Real filmmaking is in the purpose
By Michael Coy
mcoy@kansan.com
Film majors, we used to create amateurish illusions. Today we're all living in one. We don't know what we are. We don't know what we're doing. We don't know why we fell in love with film in the first place. We don't even know what it is. We're guilty of voluntary ignorance. Independents of all ages have surrendered the integrity of their hard work for the hopes of financial stability. We sacrifice dignity for a bank account that is slightly less vacant than if we had taken the plunge and become real filmmakers. We've sacrificed our brains to pretend that's not true. So we call the videos we shoot films and we call ourselves filmmakers, because it's a title too sexy to drop. It's a pretentious lie.
Calling yourself something better than you are is a sign of shame, ignorance or apathy. The apathy and ignorance are tools used by directors to achieve notoriety with a clear conscience. Their crews, actors and writers now put the same amount of work into making something that is so much less than it could have been so that the directors can achieve instant fame, which was never promised to their heroes and frankly will not happen. The greatest personal success new independents can find is a spot on iTunes. When everyone and their cousins no longer have the required discipline or foolishness to make a film, and when the distributors became responsible for nothing but data, the abyss of iTunes is of course what came of it. Now, not even the special movies will be seen on a venue bigger than a television. In the days of celluloid, the small movies
had just as much worth as the big ones. Everyone, the hacks and the geniuses rich or poor were working with the same beautiful format and there was only one place for their films to go. Everyone working on those films, by the way, was a filmmaker. Everyone contributed to that gorgeous print.
Today, we've invented a lower class for ourselves, and anyone born after us. The opportunity to escape it is getting further and further away. Soon, because of the corners we're cutting, not even those who are willing to be filmmakers will have the ability. Film will be gone. The demand for celluloid is waning because we're demanding something different now. We're seriously demanding our format, our canvas, to serve us. It never could and it never needed to until now. So we have opted for the shinier, easier, safer, cheaper inferior format. It's cheapening our hardest work and it's dulling our dreams.
We affect the survival of our medium. Financiers, distributors and audiences affect our paychecks, but we are the only ones who can affect what they see. What they see, what appears on screen is all that matters. Throw everything else out. Money, audience, acclaim, story, theory, taste, style, all are superfluous when you understand that as a filmmaker your entire purpose, your whole distinguished identity, is based on shooting film, because it's beautiful. When properly manipulated and projected, the resolution, depth and physicality of traditional photography will lend your subjects inimitable resonance. It's been with us since the invention of movies. In fact, it is the invention. If enough young men and women are willing to dedicate themselves to their medium, then it may survive. Then their movies can be called films. Then we can call ourselves filmmakers.
Coy is a sophomore in film and media studies from Lenexa.

Day one at Relays proves succesful for Jayhawks
1380
Sheri Kaye Campbell, a junior from Lincoln, is pictured moments before executing a jump during the women's heptathlon high jump at Memorial Stadium for the 85th annual Kansas Relays. Campbell placed fifth with a clearance of 1.60 meters.
As the 85th Kansas Relays began Wednesday morning with the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon, Kansas coach Stanley Redwine strolled through the infield of Memorial Stadium, greeting coaches of other schools and prepping athletes for their events.
With four of the eight events completed after the first day, Vollmer is in second place, trailing Liz Roehrig, who is competing unattached.
This gesture proved helpful and successful for the team. Freshman Lindsey Vollmer started the heptathlon by winning the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 14.06.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
"It was a really great start," Vollmer said. "In hep, the first event means a lot. Coming off of a really good first event just carries on to the rest."
"I have a lot of improvement from the last heptathlon that I did," Vollmer said. "I feel like we're in a lot better place going into day two, so we're where we need to be"
Vollmer is looking forward to tomorrow's javelin throw, as she sees it as her best event. The shot put was an event that she would have liked to have done better in but is pleased with her overall standing of second place and point total of 3,304. Morgan Whitson, a runner for the University of Missouri, is in third with 3,136 points going into day two of competition.
Sophomore Amanda Caines is ninth in the standings. Caines feels good about her first four events since it's her first heptathlon.
Kansas Relay events will continue through Saturday. Today will feature the men's 110 meter hurdles at 8:30 a.m.

BASEBALL REWIND
Jayhawk pitchers step up and win against Spires
I MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
While the Kansas offense struggled to put away the Saint Mary Spires (17-25) early, the pitchers made sure that the Saint Mary never posed a threat.
The Jayhawks (15-23, 3-9) shut out their opponent for just the second time this season, winning 6-0 Wednesday night at Hoglund Ballpark. Their only other shutout was the third game of the season against Belmont, a 2-0 victory. The Jayhawks have surrendered at least one run in their last 34 games this season.
And it wasn't veteran players who didn't allow a run either, four freshmen took the mound and only one upperclassman pitched, senior Matt Kohorst.
"We really like our young players," coach Ritch Price said. "We're the youngest team in the country in a BCS conference."
Freshman starter Drew Morovick (3-1, 5.08) worked into the fifth inning for just the third time this season. He threw 5.0 innings allowing no runs on two hits. He struck out two batters on the evening.
It was the only time this season that Morovick didn't allow a run while pitching more than two innings.
"Every time we go out to the mound before an inning we're told to put up a zero," Morovick said. "It's kind of like our job. It's been beaten into our minds all fall and now in the spring. It's our job to put up zeros."
Morovick has also been fighting the flu since last week. He said his
appetite had returned only recently. He missed his last start against Wichita State a week ago.
"It felt great that I'm not sick and I got to go out and pitch," Morovick said. "I love this team, and I love being around these guys. I'm glad we got another shutout."
Another freshman, Colin Toalson (0-1, 4.40), relieved Morovick and took the game into the seventh inning. Toalson is just one of a number of young pitchers who get playing time during midweek games.
He threw two innings on the evening, allowing only one hit and striking out one.
"Playing these games like this and getting freshmen playing time, just seeing those guys up out there pumps the younger guys up even more," Toalson said. "The older guys like to see it too. It's kind of fun."
Perhaps the best stat of the day for the Kansas pitchers, aside from the zero on the scoreboard, was that they did not nurrender a walk in the game. Instead, they struck out more batters (6) than the number of hits recorded (5).
The Jayhawks are on a winning streak for the first time since the start of the season.
"It feels like there is a new energy surrounding the team," Toalson said.
"It's a lot of fun" he said. "We're really coming together. We have a new life kind of."
With an offense that ranks last in the Big 12 in most categories, outings from pitchers like Wednesday's will help.

Larry Brown in talks with SMU basketball
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
DALLAS — The official Larry Brown-to-SMU Watch continues, if only for the short-term.
While all signs point to the Hall of Famer becoming the next SMU men's basketball coach, Brown said Tuesday evening that no deal has been finalized. An SMU spokesman also said Tuesday afternoon that no announcement was imminent.
Joe Glass, Brown's agent, had not yet started contract talks Tuesday evening with SMU athletic director Steve Orsini, according to Brown.
None of this means Brown, 71, won't end up on the Hilltop, replacing Matt Doherty, who was fired five weeks ago, on March
13. And Brown has indeed started looking at possible staff members, including Illinois State's Tim Jankovich as a headcoach-in-waiting, according to a source. Brown could also bring Rod Strickland, an administrator at Kentucky and a former NBA player, and former Illinois assis-

These names all have ties to Brown and/or Kansas coach Bill Self and Kentucky coach John Calipari, who are close to Brown.
coach following Brown to leave a good position, a source said. He has a record of 104-64 in five seasons with the Redbirds, was previously an assistant to Self at Kansas and Illinois and was the North Texas head coach from 1993-1997, when he resigned. Jankovich, 52, has rebuilt Illinois
Jankovich could need contractual reassurances that he would become SMU's head

went 21-14 this season, falling to Stanford in the second round of the NIT.
Jankovich's earlier stops as an
assistant include Texas (1986- 87), Baylor (1991-1992) and Oklahoma State (1992-1993). He is a former Kansas State point guard.
The Dallas Morning News reported earlier this week that SMU had talked with Jankovich _ it's unclear if discussions were about the head job, the headcoach-in-waiting job, or both. He interviewed in Dallas, a source said.
Strickland played point guard for Brown for the San Antonio Spurs during the early 1990's. He most recently has worked as a special assistant to Calipari at Kentucky after losing his job as top assistant coach after an arrest for suspicion of DUI. He also worked for Calipari at Memphis previously.
Howard on Tuesday told illiniHQ.com that he was headed to SMU and had spoken to Brown earlier in the day "when the deal was finalized." Howard has worked previously at Texas A&M in an
administrative role under Billy Gillispie and played for Self at Illinois.
Howard, 31, is known as an ace recruiter. John Groce, who recently replaced Bruce Weber as Illinois coach, recently informed Howard he would not be retained.
Brown visited SMU on Sunday and Monday. A source said Monday that the job was Brown's to take if negotiations worked out. Many loose ends remained as of Tuesday evening, according to a source. ESPN reported Tuesday afternoon that Brown had agreed to take the job.
"I told Joe, I only want to do this (formally accept) if all things are in place," Brown said. "I'm sure they (SMU) feel the same."
Additionally, Brown said: "Nothing's been finalized. I don't know who put that out. Ever since my trip to Dallas, I've had a thousand people calling me for a job, I know that."
OLYMPICS
Lighting project to be a 'beacon of east London'
LONDON — Watch out, Eiffel Tower.
Lights are coming to London's Orbit.
The AnceloMittal Orbit, a 114.5-meter (375-foot) ruby red tower in the center of Olympic Park, will be decked out in 250 color spotlights that will make it a "beacon of east London," London's Legacy Development Corporation said in a statement.
The corporation has responsibility for the park after the end of the Olympics, which take place from July 27-Aug. 12. The corporation has secured planning permission to light the tower from dusk until midnight.
The lights wound through the tower will be used in a 15-minute nightly light show. The effects are being tested over the next two weeks.
The tower is designed by London-based artist Anish Kapoor, a previous winner of the prestigious Turner Prize, and his design partner Cecil Balmond.
"The feature lighting opens a completely new artistic aspect to the work of Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond." Andrew Altman, the chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation, said in a statement. "It will create a vivid landmark with dynamic effects that we can use in tandem with different events."

Professional sports are hungry for dirt
The current hot topic is the Hunger Games but not because it's about extreme competition.
For those who haven't read the books or seen the movie, I warn you of spoilers. The series depicts a nation that requires 24 teenagers to participate in an extreme survival competition every year. The catch is that only one competitor is allowed to survive.
The novels are laced with political commentary about violence in our society. Another important element of the books is that they show how sports or competition has the ability to determine a person's worth.
While this isn't a new theme or a new aspect of society, it does have an interesting new twist with modern celebrity

culture. The list of well known celebrities has expanded over the years to include well-known professional athletes to lesser known athletes as well. We all know more about our favorite celebrities than we need. Their personal lives are incorporated into our judgments
about their accomplishments and their careers.
For example, if a college or professional athlete has an affair, it suddenly makes headline news and then comes the official apology and promise for redemption. It is turning into a tired and old routine. Honestly, incidents like this occur all the time among civilians but none of them make headline news. I understand the argument that they are public figures, but at what point do their personal lives matter too much?
The Hunger Games tackles this issue by depicting an extreme case of celebrity love. The competitors get the royal treatment but the whole time they have to follow strict guidelines about how to act in the public eye. One wrong
KU
step and it could mean their lives. In our world, the consequences aren't that extreme but I really do wonder sometimes.
I enjoy watching sports just for the competition, not because the athletes are amazing people outside the arena. Frankly, I have better things to do than agonize over an athlete's fall from "grace."

COMMENTARY
Relays an event to watch
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
We live in an age where team sports dominate because they draw more interest and are more attractive to sports fans.
Much of our sports discourse revolves around the four main professional sports leagues — NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB — and the two revenue-generating college sports — NCAA football and NCAA basketball — because they are immensely popular to watch.
It's easy to understand these sports because the media does a great job exposing them to the public. Lost in the shuffle in our sports culture are the individual, Olympic sports that conceived these highly active, competitive games we've grown to love.
The 85th annual Kansas Relays started yesterday in Lawrence. The Kansas Relays were founded in 1923 by two legendary Kansas coaches: Former basketball coach Phog Allen and former football coach John Outland, whose involvement in the Penn Relays inspired him to carry on a similar tradition at Kansas. The Penn Relay is the oldest and largest track and field event in the United States.
Some famous meet referees from previous Kansas Relays events include inventor of basketball Dr. James Naismith, and former Kansas basketball player and Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp.
I encourage everyone in Lawrence this weekend to attend the Kansas Relays. They are steeped in history. It should be something that students and residents should be prideful about. If you're attending the meets in downtown Lawrence, you're able to not only enjoy watching the meets, but also visit downtown shops, restaurants and bars.
What makes the annual event unique is the placement of some of the competitions, most notably the shot put and long jump. Last year, these two meets took place in downtown Lawrence between Massachusetts Street and New Hampshire Street. This marked the first time in the United States that a track and field meet was held on a street. The men's shot put drew 2,500 people at the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets
JAYHAWK BASEBALL
The University will also attempt to break the record for world's largest nacho plate during the Relays. After all, records were made to be broken.
Don't dismiss the Kansas Relays because it's a track and field event instead of a team sport tournament. Track and field is the root of all sports. The Kansas Relays is a top destination for world-class athletes, not just high school and college athletes. Successful Olympic athletes such as Maurice Greene, Marion Jones, Stacey Dragila, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Bruce Jenner have competed in the Relays. Some these names you probably know, for good or bad, and some of them you might not know, but they've all reached the pinnacle of track and field. Who knows, maybe a future Olympian could emerge from the Kansas Relays this weekend or new records could be set.

KANSAS 6, SAINT MARY 0
THREE IN A ROW
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team extended its winning streak to three games Wednesday with a 6-0 victory over the University of Saint Mary.
The win improved Kansas' record to 15-23 overall and gave the Jayhawks their first three-game winning streak since the opening week. Similar to Tuesday night's victory over Baker University, the Jayhawks took an early lead and never looked back.
Senior third base on Zac Elgie hit an RBI double off the base of the left-field wall in the first inning, giving the Jayhawks a 1-0 lead. A sacrifice fly off the bat of junior infielder Jordan Dreiling had Kansas heading into the second inning with a 2-0 advantage.
After coach Ritch Price placed an emphasis on getting these quick leads, Elgie came through in consecutive nights.
"I think when it comes to playing teams like this, the older guys really want to come in and lead by example," Elgie said. "We sputtered off a little bit there in the middle, but the younger guys got a chance to play late. They've proved that they can play well, and it's good for the team as a whole."
Saint Mary used nine pitcher in the ballgame, but the 17-25 Spires — out of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference — held the offense in check for most of the night. The Jayhawks mustered just eight hits, but their recent improved plate discipline continued against Saint Mary, earning nine walks.
"As we get deeper in the season — now that we've played over 30 games — our hitters stop chasing that breaking ball out of the zone," Price said. "I think that's what we're seeing now. Our guys have played enough games and seen enough pitches where they're laying off on those out of the zone."
With the offense struggling to break the game open, Dreiling made his presence known, even without an official at bat. Dreiling went 0-for-0 with two walks and an RBI on the sacrifice fly. Sophomore infielder Ka'iana Eldredge's double in the fourth inning brought Dreiling home for Kansas' third run. Coming off a weekend series against Texas A&M's hard-throwing arms, the Jayhawks had to adjust to the drop-off in pitch velocity.
"For some guys it takes a little while for them to stay back," Dreiling said. "As we saw the last few games, people were able to get on time with swings and it ended up working out."
The Jayhawks only used freshman pitchers against the Spires, and Drew Morovick's five shutout innings improved his record to 3-1.
Having successfully avoided a mid-week letdown, Kansas' focus turns to this weekend's matchup at No.23 Texas.The Longhorns have one of the best home pitching staffs, and the Jayhawk rotation will need to match it to come away with a win.
Edited by Katie James
"It all starts with our pitching," Price said. "We'll need three quality outings from each one of the starting guys."

World's best throw at Relays
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
On Wednesday night the downtown Lawrence crowd saw three of the top throws in the world this year. People watched from rooftops and windows and many stood on the street surrounding the giant mound of sand constructed on top of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets as some of the world's best shot putters competed. Reese Hoffa threw over 71 feet to beat former silver medalist Christian Cantwell.
Hoffa won the event on his final throw, outdoing an earlier throw by Cantwell that had already been announced as the longest in the world this year. A day before the downtown competition, Reese discussed why he was looking forward to the event for this year's Kansas Relays.
"I love these kinds of meets because it gets the crowd into it," Hoffa said. "It's up close and personal and if they ever have any questions about what is shot putting, we answer that for them."
Hoffa's winning throw traveled 71 feet, 3' ¼ inches to show fans why shot put is on a world class level. After the competition Hoffa was the center of attention, answering questions, signing
autographs and taking pictures with fans.
All of the throwers seemed to enjoy the opportunity that the downtown shot put event provided for the fans to be able to see the event at such close range. The throwers normally don't have the opportunity to interact with fans after competition, so they took advantage of the moment.
"I think it's an awesome place to throw and a great way to feature the shot put." Adam Nelson, a two-time Olympic medallist, said.
"It's exciting that the fans here just enjoyed watching us throw," Hoffa said.
This competition was just the beginning of the outdoor season for many of the competitors, and from here they have just over two months until the Olympic trials take place on June 21.
"Usually we're in the middle of the field, and you're lucky if the fans are actually able to see the event." Nelson said.
Ryan Whiting, the 2012 World indoor champion said this is the first step toward trials. "We're all going to have to shoot it out in Eugene in two months," Whiting said.

Five Jayhawk golfers make academic team
It was released Wednesday that five Jayhawk golfers made the Academic All-Big 12 conference team.
To qualify, athletes must maintain a 3.0 GPA for two semesters and participate in 60 percent of the team's scheduled contests.
Seniors Katy Nugent and Maria Jackson, junior Audrey Yowell and sophomore Meghan Potee made the Women's Academic All-Big 12 first team. The women's team has produced at least three first-team selections for five consecutive seasons and 47 first-team selections of all time.
Junior Alex Gutesha made the Men's Academic All-Big 12 second team, which requires a 3.2 GPA over two semesters. Gutesha is one of 22 players to make the list.
Freshmen and transfer students are not eligible in their first year of academic residence.
The women's team is preparing for Big 12 Championship play at Lawrence Country Club in Lawrence April 27-29. The men's team travels to Trinity, Texas for the Big 12 Championship at Whispering Pines Golf Club.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
--last semester I published a personal essay in Jaylay called "Distorted Perception" detailing my struggle with
{From the Editor}
Praveen Sangwan
my self-image. For those who have not yet read it, the words "disgusting, fat monster" sums up the experience accurately. I felt that way about myself until my freshman year in high school until a good friend of mine, Tim Clark, fought my poor judgment persistently until I gave in and realized how warped my thoughts had been nearly all my life.
Looking back, I wonder how one insecurity got built up in my mind so much that I hated the person within my detested body, I grew up hearing, "it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, it's the inside that counts." In my head I changed it
to, "who cares who you are if you don't like what you look like? Both parts of you are useless." It sent me into severe depression where I'd spend entire days avoiding public interaction. I wore oversized sweatshirts to class everyday, paranoid that everyone was thinking about the obvious lumps all over my body. At night I'd cry; nearly every night, I'd cry. Sometimes even with Tim.
I'm not trying to retell my story, but draw your attention to how damaging the quest to be thin can get. My eating habits throughout my entire life are far from perfect, but at no point was I overeating or living a lifestyle where I was headed toward obesity. When we live in a culture where zero qualifies as a size, we start to think that is the size we have to be to be considered beautiful. Boney is beautiful? My African thighs seem to disagree.
There is a right way to lose weight and if you are concerned with yours, I'd suggest checking out this week's feature on page eight for some good nutrition tips. You will never be completely satisfied with the way you look, trust me. And even if you've got a lot, you should appreciate what you got. I don't know if you've heard, but happy is beautiful.

"Usually we're in the middle of the field, and you're lucky if the fans are actually able to see the event." Nelson said.
This competition was just the beginning of the outdoor season for many of the competitors, and from here they have just over two months until the Olympic trials take place on June 21.
Ryan Whiting, the 2012 World indoor champion said this is the first step toward trials. "We're all going to have to shoot it out in Eugene in two months," Whiting said.

Couples Advice:
If there's one word to describe Phill DeCoster, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., it would be persistent. Last year in his illustration class he noticed someone who he described as the "cute girl" to all of his friends. Lucky for him, that cute girl, junior Morgan Hutcherson, happened to pick him as his partner to work on a caricature project together. Although Morgan had a boyfriend at the time, Phill never gave up his attempts to woo her. "He always sat by me in class and would

It wasn't long before Morgan and her boyfriend broke up at the end of spring semester, so Phill took it as a sign, and asked Morgan out.

Every Thursday Morgan and Phill have a date night. Whether it's watching hockey, going to a coffee shop or working on illustration homework, they take the night to relax and spend time together. "It is always a nice end to the week," Morgan says. "Although it is sometimes hard, we always try to find time and maintain balance with school and our relationship." Whenever Morgan is having a bad day, Phill finds a way to surprise her and make her smile. Once when she was stressed out, he showed up outside of her class and took her on a walk around campus to ease her mind. "We went around the Campa-
nile to the stadium and then all the way up to the balcony of the Oread," Morgan says. "Sometimes I can be pretty serious but he always knows how to lighten the mood and makes things more easy going." The two have been together now for seven months, so it seems Phill's persistence paid off.

WHAT'S ONE PLACE IN LAWRENCE YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT?
The overlook on the edge of town because it takes Lawrence on a more micro scale, and you can see the quietness of it when you are in the hustle and bustle of school.
WHY ARE YOU A CATCH?
I think I'm the best of both worlds. I can be a country boy and I can be a city bitch I'm not afraid to wear my Ugg boots or my hunter boots, of course they are both designers because you have to stick to designers, always.

unique is the placement or some of the competitions, most notably the shot put and long jump. Last year, these two meets took place in downtown Lawrence between Massachusetts Street and New Hampshire Street. This marked the first time in the United States that a track and field meet was held on a street. The men's shot put drew 2,500 people at the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets.
I encourage everyone in Lawrence this weekend to attend the Kansas Relays. They are steeped in history. It should be something that students and residents should be prideful about. If you're attending the meets in downtown Lawrence, you're able to not only enjoy watching the meets, but also visit downtown shops, restaurants and bars.
The University will also attempt to break the record for world's largest nacho plate during the Relays. After all, records were made to be broken.

Dear Michelle,
I want to remain a virgin until I get married. My boyfriend and I have only kissed and touched each others' genitals with our hands. He wants more, but also wants to respect my morals. He suggested we try auxiliary sex. What is auxiliary sex? How do I do it? Will it keep me a virgin?
Virgin With Desires
Dear VWD.
Although some people define auxiliary sex as anal sex with a woman during her menstruation, auxiliary sex typically involves a man inserting his penis into a space on the body other than the mouth, genitals or anus of the partner. The most popular form of auxiliary sex is placing a penis between a woman's breasts. However, there are other forms of auxiliary sex that involve other parts of the body.
For example, your boyfriend may ask to insert his penis into your armpit, inner elbow, back of your knee or in between
your thighs. The pleasure comes from the skin-on-skin contact with his partner, as well as the tight space you can provide by closing down on his penis with your body parts. He will simulate intercourse by moving his penis in and out of the chosen space, reaching climax and finding a sexual satisfaction that most closely resembles having sex.
Communicate to your boyfriend how you feel about exploring this sexual activity. If you do decide to participate in auxiliary sex, remember to use plenty of water-based or silicone lubrication on his penis and in the chosen space.
Will this keep you a virgin? I can't promise you anything. The more you participate in sexual experimentation, the more you find the pleasure that comes with sex and sexual intimacy, the more likely you are to give in to your partner's desires and take your sexual exploration to the next level. Communicating your wants and desires (virginal or otherwise) with a trustworthy, loving and respectful partner will allow you to discover your sexuality at your own pace, without anxiety or regret. Go only as far as you really want, but always remember to enjoy the ride.

Every semester for the week of finals I tend to find myself with notes scattered all around me as I try to cram a semester's worth of information into my brain. It's the most stressful week of the semester.
Study breaks, however, can help relieve stress when studying as well as help retain long-term memory learning, according to a study conducted by David Gilden at the University of Texas. The study found that 35 percent of people who took study breaks retained more long-term memory information compared to those who studied straight through for a test. "The benefits of breaks in
learning are undeniable," Gilden says in his findings. "There is no question that a fresh mind learns better."
"I usually take a break every couple of hours so I don't go crazy staring at my notes," says Kelli Hammon, a senior from Andover. "It's important to get out of the studying zone and relax my brain by going to a movie or getting Sonic at happy hour with some friends."
Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., offers students tips for taking breaks when studying, such as using breaks as mini-rewards. Study for a couple of hours and then reward yourself by checking your e-mail or listening to a song. Taking breaks allows information to sink in, giving the brain time to grow new connections between cells, while focusing on something else for a short period of time.
ZENCOLLEGELIFE.COM, a website that offers students college and degree information, offers these study break ideas: take a walk, stretch, exercise, eat a healthy snack, concenetrate on your breathing or read a book for pleasure.

Artist Chen Shaoxiong and the Spencer Museum of Art invite local artists and activists to contribute to the "issue Fence," located on the front lawn of the museum.
Signs sporting various phrases of protest scatter the floor of the Spencer Art Museum's Center Court, contributed by local activists to raise awareness for causes they are particularly passionate about. Some look like they were drawn by children, while others glare with more serious messages. As I look around the room, one thing is clear — this space, like many activist movements, is a work in
Sponsored by the William T. Kemper Foundation, the Freeman Foundation and the Center for East Asian Studies, the opportunity for Beijing native artist Chen Shaoxiong arose in 2011, and the artist first came to visit the campus in September of last year. His residency began March 6, and he is the last in a series of Asian artists that have come through the Spencer Art Museum doors since 2008. "Shaoxiong's residency was very unusual because, in the end, he didn't want to show his own work but use it as a research opportunity to learn about protests," says Kris Ercums, the curator of the project.
One of the goals of the residency and this project is to create a space for practice and protest, so that everyone can know how to peacefully participate in a protest if they so choose. Through a series of workshops and other events inviting

Q & A: NATHAN REUSCH

Nathan Reusch is a co-founder of Kansas City label The Record Machine and was a curator for Middle of the Map Fest earlier this month.
// ALEX TRETBAR
Reusch, one of the founders of Kansas City label The Record Machine, was the mastermind behind Kansas City's Middle of the Map Fest earlier this month. The festival was more robust than Reusch's first attempt last year — this time around the festival featured 45 more bands, more venues and three total days instead of two. I talked with Reusch, 32, about the festival, local music and his label.
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INSPIRATION FOR MIDDLE OF THE MAP FEST?
Originally, I came back from South by Southwest two years ago, and just knew that I wanted to start something. We wanted to keep it within proper venues versus outdoor stages. We didn't want to go to a field somewhere and have to recreate something. We knew all these clubs were already here in KC and we could just reunite.
says. "I hope art can help political life." While workshops in collaboration with the Spencer have ceased, interested activists and local residents can still submit any protests they have via the "Issue Fence," set up outside the museum. It's covered in messages written on paper and cardboard and is an ever-growing aspect of Shaoxiong's exhibit. The exhibit, titled "Prepared: Strategies for Activists," will be on display until July 22.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DID YOU NEED TO GET IT OFF THE GROUND?
DID YOU RELY ON LOCAL BANDS FOR FILLING OUT THE FESTIVAL LINEUP?
I sat down with Ink Magazine and said, "Here's my idea to start a music festival." They helped out and gave us a backing in the beginning. We had never worked an event on this scale, so they helped with administration, too.
I was doing a radio interview and it was mentioned that there were 70 local KC bands on the festival. I was shocked. It wasn't necessarily intentional; it was just organic.
DO YOU PLAY MUSIC?
Not exactly, I used to perform years ago, but I'm pretty much retired. I used to play keyboards — a goofy one-man band called Bobcat Attack.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED SINCE FORMING THE RECORD MACHINE?
Immense amounts of info. There's so much trial and error in this business. You get to work with people you love,and we're always trying something different. Sometimes you feel like you're bashing your head against the wall, but it's worth
local activists and artists to participate, which Shaoxiong refers to as a "training camp for activists," the artist has evaluated the anatomy of a social protest. Some workshops were simply discussions of types of demonstrations, while others invited activists on stage for "Soap Box Fridays," where protesters got two minutes to state their causes.
"I hope people will get more knowledge, confidence and strategies for protesting from the exhibition." Shaoxiong
Middle of the Map Fest (April 5 through 7)

CUTTING, COUNTING AND CONSUMING
CALORIE INTAKE ON CAMPUS

CUTTING, COUNTING AND CONSUMING
CALORIE INTAKE ON CAMPUS
WHILE WE THINK WE'RE BEING HEALTHY, WE MAY BE CONSUMING MORE CALORIES THAN WE REALIZE. // MEGAN HINMAN
One-third of American adults are obese, yet somehow 90 percent of American adults say their diets are healthy, with 59 percent saying they are "strict" or "careful" about they eat, according to a Consumer Reports survey on nutrition last year.
Evan Glidewell, a senior from Olathe, is the epitome of this contradiction. He has salad for lunch at least three times a week. "I know that a salad is not necessarily healthy just because it's a salad," he says, "so I try to use a low fat dressing, if possible, and avoid any high calorie additives like crunchy chicken." But he eats out every weekend, sometimes multiple times a day if he's out late. "I usually fight with myself about getting something that sounds really good, or something that
isn't as good, but is a lot healthier," he says.
Glidewell's healthy side almost never wins his internal battle, and he's not alone in that. Many people disrupt their diets without realizing it, and then they wonder why the pounds aren't falling off.
The most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight are their choices in carbohydrates and beverages, says Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St. It's important to learn which carbs are good for you and will provide the most energy. As far as beverages go, "It would be the easiest thing in the world to just switch to water," Boos says.
The average American drinks 50 gallons of soda per year, according to a New
York Times article about America's soda consumption. That comes out to 17.5 ounces, which is almost a can and half, and 210 calories per day if you drink Coca-Cola. If you stopped drinking Coke for a year and changed nothing else about your diet, you could lose 22 pounds. It may seem like a minimal change, but it could have a maximum effect.
Cutting soda from your diet may seem like an obvious solution, but cutting juice drinks may be just as useful. We unknowingly undermine our efforts by consuming beverages that mask themselves as healthy, but are actually high in calories and sugar. One bottle of FUZE Mixed Berry has at least 40 percent of your daily need for vitamins A, C, E, and $ \mathrm{B^{6}} $ ,but the drink is only 5 percent fruit juice, and
one 16.9 ounce bottle is 180 calories, with 45 grams of sugar per bottle. The same amount of soda has 62.4 grams of sugar. Beverages aren't the only thing we deceive ourselves about, though.
Michael, a recent KU grad from Lawrence, had a salad with broccoli, cucumbers, mushrooms, carrots, celery and red and green peppers, all of which are very low in calories. Then he added grilled chicken, ranch dressing, bacon, cheese and croutons, and had a cup of chili on the side. He hadn't considered that his meal was close to half of his calorie allowance for the day when he made it, and he says may have reconsidered some of his toppings if he had thought about it.
According to NetNutrition, an online meal analysis system offered by KU

unique is the placement or some of the competitions, most notably the shot put and long jump. Last year, these two meets took place in downtown Lawrence between Massachusetts Street and New Hampshire Street. This marked the first time in the United States that a track and field meet was held on a street. The men's shot put drew 2,500 people at the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets
The University will also attempt to break the record for world's largest nacho plate during the Relays. After all, records were made to be broken.
I encourage everyone in Lawrence this weekend to attend the Kansas Relays. They are steeped in history. It should be something that students and residents should be prideful about. If you're attending the meets in downtown Lawrence, you're able to not only enjoy watching the meets, but also visit downtown shops, restaurants and bars.

from rooftops and windows and many stood on the street surrounding the giant mound of sand constructed on top of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets as some of the world's best shot putters competed. Reese Hoffa threw over 71 feet to beat former silver medalist Christian Cantwell.
"I love these kinds of meets because it gets the crowd into it," Hoffa said. "It's up close and personal and if they ever have any questions about what is shot putting, we answer that for them."
Hoffa's winning throw traveled 71 feet, $3\frac{1}{4}$ inches to show fans why shot put is on a world class level. After the competition Hoffa was the center of attention, answering questions, signing
enjoy the opportunity that the downtown shot put event provided for the fans to be able to see the event at such close range. The throwers normally don't have the opportunity to interact with fans after competition, so they took advantage of the moment.
"I think it's an awesome place to throw and a great way to feature the shot put." Adam Nelson, a two-time Olympic medalist, said.
This competition was just the beginning of the outdoor season for many of the competitors, and from here they have just over two months until the Olympic trials take place on June 21.
"Usually we're in the middle of the field, and you're lucky if the fans are actually able to see the event." Nelson said.
Ryan Whiting, the 2012 World indoor champion said this is the first step toward trials. "We're all going to have to shoot it out in Eugene in two months," Whiting said.

Dining Services, Michael's salad alone was about 600 calories, not including the chicken, which likely added at least another hundred calories. The chili added another 200 calories to his meal, and his beverage likely added even more, though it was not included in his total. If he would have skipped the chili, croutons, bacon, chicken and cheese, and switched to fat-free ranch dressing, his calorie total would've been about 250.
Michael is definitely not the only one to create a salad with health in mind and then later (or possibly never) realize the meal's calorie count. Only 15 percent of people in the Consumer Reports survey count calories. For calorie counting to work, you have to be meticulous with your calculations. You can't guess or forget something. You can't eat up your limit with empty calories, meaning foods that provide no nutritional value. You can find out online what your calorie intake should be. Try www.fatsecret.com, a site that doesn't charge or require sign-up.
To lose one pound, you need a net intake of -3,500 calories for the time during which you want to lose the weight, says Cheryl Wiley, KU Dining Services' registered dietician. That means if you have a 2,000 calorie diet, you can eat 250 calories less than usual, exercise to burn off another 250 calories, and you'll lose one pound per week if you keep it up, because your daily loss of 500 calories will total -3,500 by the end of the week. Losing one or two pounds per week is the healthiest rate to lose weight and though it may seem slow, you could lose 52 pounds in a year if you sustained it.
recipes KU Dining Services has, says Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services, and they account for about 20 percent of total KU Dining sales.
If you're looking for healthy food on campus, there are plenty of options. KU Dining Services created Better Bites, a program that offers foods with no more than 30 percent calories from fat, less than 600 calories per entrée, and less than 24 grams of fat per entrée. Better Bites options are about 30 percent of the 5,000
Better Bites includes items like the Chick-Fil-A char grill sandwich, which is a substitute for the standard breaded chicken sandwich, but the Chick-Fil-A Sauce (140 calories per packet) is not included. Better Bites also includes the buffalo chicken wrap from Brella's, which can replace the infamous crunchy chicken cheddar wrap. When you switch to grilled chicken, however, you also have to drop the ranch dressing. Better Bites items are at every dining location, and they're marked with the Better Bites logo on the corresponding menu. They're also listed online as part of NetNutrition.
Salsa contains many vitamins and nutrients, but tortilla chips are high in calories.
NetNutrition shows the nutritional information for every item KU Dining serves, except for Chick-Fil-A and Pizza Hut, but you can find information on the respective company's websites. Net-Nutrition makes calorie counting simple. All you have to do is select the foods you ate on a particular day and the system will total the nutritional values for your whole meal. "Students should do their research beforehand on the nutrition analysis of the items they're consuming," says Golledge, "just to be better informed and aware of what their options are."
Danielle, a senior from Olathe, was able to keep her calorie count low by analyzing calorie values and skipping the fattening toppings. She chose beans, tofu, carrots, mushrooms and fat-free Italian dressing (18 calories per one tablespoon serving). Her meal totaled about 400 calories, and she was able to get the same nutrients from beans and tofu as Michael got from his chicken and bacon, without the increased fat content.
Danielle is one of many students to take advantage of the healthier choices on campus. Sure, Brella's serves a lot of crunchy chicken cheddar wraps — KU
Dining uses 24 tons of chicken tenders every year — but students are eating even more salad. KU Dining uses 28 tons of mixed greens every year, Golledge says, and you can get a lot more servings of salad out of a ton of greens than you can get crunchy chicken cheddar wraps out of a ton of crunchy chicken, and each serving of mixed greens has a lot less calories than a chicken tender.
While calories may be the most important aspect to losing weight, it's still important to keep a balanced diet, even if you're not trying to lose weight, so that your body can get all the nutrients it needs to thrive. To do this, Wiley, KU Dining's dietician, recommends following the Mediterranean Diet, which KU Dining is facilitating currently — the dining locations are offering foods that are consistent with this diet and explaining it in displays and suggested plates.
The Mediterranean Diet consists of mostly whole grains, fruits, vegetables.
I downloaded the Calorie Counter application on my iPhone and calculated every snack, dressing and drink I had. I cut most drinks that weren't water because I hated seeing my calorie count rise for something that didn't fill me up. I also ate a lot more salad than before (with low-cal roasted tomato dressing instead of
beans, and "good" fats, like olive oil and avocados. To follow this diet, you should eat seafood twice a week, limit dairy, poultry and eggs to only the recommended portion sizes for your appropriate calorie intake. For the average 2,000 calorie diet, you should have four servings of low-fat dairy items and six ounces of high-quality protein foods, Wiley says. You should also drink plenty of fluids, but stay away from sugary drinks."Sodas are a fun beverage,"Wiley says,"but they provide the diet with empty calories."
If you're trying to watch what you eat, watch closely. If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, you have to pay close attention to what you consume, but make sure you still get the proper nutrients. In the end, it all boils down to your net calories, so don't cheat yourself.
my preferred choice of Thousand Island). I didn't sacrifice every food I enjoyed; I just made some of them healthier — like thin crust supreme pizza instead of deep dish pepperoni. I lost more than five pounds in the short time I counted, and I was more than pleased with my results.

Movie Review:
What max
"Lockout" //LANDON MCDONALD
AUSTIN LOMBARD
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Motor-mouthed mercenary Guy Pearce must rescue the president's daughter from an orbital prison riot in "Lockout."
There was a time when action heroes didn't have to carry the weight of the world on their brooding, perfectly toned shoulders. There was a time when they were like us: flawed, downtrodden, maybe a bit on the cynical side. Bruce Willis's John McClane and Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken got the job done with a wink and a grunt, saving the day with little more than blue-collar gumption and one-liners cut from the finest premium cheddar.
Agent Snow (Guy Pearce), the pun-happy protagonist of the high-concept, low-yield sci-fi yarn "Lockout," would make a worthy addition to their ranks, despite the fact that almost everything else in his movie reeks of creative compromise and the listless cataloging of hoary action clichés. French action gourmand Luc Besson, who seemed on the verge of a creative renaissance after producing "Taken" back in 2009, appears determined to continue cooking up potentially exciting concepts and diluting them into bloodless, sanitized rubbish.
The film would be a complete waste of space if it weren't for its admittedly astute casting choices. Pearce, a favorite of mine in films like "L.A. Confidential" and "The Proposition." plays Snow like the rascally kid brother of Han Solo and Spike from "Cowboy Bebop." I can't wait to see what he brings to Ridley Scott's upcoming "Prometheus." He develops a natural repartee with the lovely Grace, who between this and "Taken" must require rescue more often than Lois Lane. "Fargo" veteran Peter Stormare brings his usual oily menace to the role of Langal, a shadowy government operative may have framed Snow for high treason.
But honestly, how do you screw up a movie about a wisecracking badass who gets sent into orbit to rescue the president's daughter (Maggie Grace) from a riot that breaks out during an ill-advised humanitarian trip to Space Prison? Answer: you cram it to the gills with incomprehensible Scottish prison slang, green-screened backdrops and woefully derivative action sequences featuring some of the doggiest CGI in recent memory.
But a gifted cast can't save a sub-par movie. In the end, "Lockout" isn't funny or violent or even comically inept enough to warrant a watch. It just sits there for an hour and a half, dragging itself through the same tired paces, dredging up stolen memories of better films from better filmmakers. Trust me, sci-fi fans: this is one for the garbage compactor.

Saving money and the planet
Learn tips for reducing energy bill costs while becoming more environmentally friendly //ALLISON BOND
---
Amy Thompson, a sophomore from Shawnee, is proud to consider herself a hippie. A resident at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries (ECM) building, Thompson, as well as other residents, strive to live an environmentally conscious lifestyle, doing things like using eco-friendly soap, buying second hand furniture and clothes, having a compost pile and reducing meat consumption. "Ever since I can remember it's been something really important to me," Thompson says. "There was a fire under my ass
since I was a little kid: I'm not sure where it came from." While being environmentally conscious can help the planet, it can also help save money. While, you don't have to have the enthusiasm of a hippie, with gas prices rising to a predicted $4 this summer, everyone is looking to cut spending in some areas. One way can be through reducing energy bill costs around the home.
It all starts with the thermostat. "The highest amount of energy used in the U.S. is for heating and cooling spaces," says
Stacey Swearingen White, associate director of environmental studies at KU. Producing energy requires fossil fuel. Burning of fossil fuels releases pollutants, which cause air and water pollution. Fossil fuels also contain greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change. Using a programmable thermostat to control heating and cooling is the best way to save money and energy, Swearingen White says. However, if that is not an option, remembering to turn the thermostat down when you leave and turning it back up a few degrees when getting back home saves more energy than leaving it at a higher constant temperature.
Buying energy efficient light bulbs can also be effective. Although more expensive, fluorescent light bulbs use one-fourth the energy and last 10 times longer than regular
Another option for saving energy is powering off appliances and lights. "It used to be thought that you need to leave a computer running because it took more energy to power back up." Swearingen White says. "With new computers, though, it's thought that if you're going to be away for more than half an hour to turn it off." Turning off lights can have the same effect. Swearingen White suggests turning off lights if away from a room for longer than two to three minutes.
incandescent light bulbs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Swearingen White offers the tip to replace apartment light bulbs with fluorescents, and then remember to take the light bulbs with you when you move out to continue using them.
rmainy, tending a place to live that is closer to daily activities allows you to walk or bicycle instead of driving to help cut costs and fossil fuel pollution. Other ways the ECM saves money is by carpooling together, recycling, using the washer and dryer sparingly and not showering as often. "It seems like a lot but small changes over time are easy to make," Thompson says. Another unique way the residents try to save money is by dumpstering, a process where the residents find packaged food like bell peppers, bottled water, grapes and canned goods from dumpsters. "It's definitely the most unique thing our community does to save money, energy and resources," Thompson says.
Slowly implementing one or more of these lifestyle changes can help save money as well as help the environment. While you don't have to get dreadlocks or stop wearing shoes, you may find yourself becoming an earth-loving hippie too.
WESTAR ENERGY COMPANY OFFERS ITS OWN SUMMER ENERGY SAVING TIPS:
- Keep thermostat settings at 78 degrees or higher. Raise the temperature at night. Install a programmable thermostat.
- Move air with ceiling fans or use natural ventilation whenever possible.
- During hot, humid times, seal up the house and air-condition around the clock.
- Close vents to unoccupied rooms
- Run the bathroom exhaust fan while showering to reduce humidity.
- Be sure the clothes dryer is sealed and vented to the outside.
- Have air-conditioners or heat pumps serviced. Change filters once a month or when needed.
- Minimize heat in the kitchen by grilling outdoors and using the microwave instead of the oven or stove.

compromising the integrity of the icing. Students were invited to try the techniques themselves before chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were passed around.
The event was part of a recent series of cooking demonstrations hosted by Student Union Activities' culinary committee. A demonstration earlier this month featured Janna Traver, executive chef for KU Dining, who prepared Peruvian food.
Patrick Blanchard, a sophomore from Wamego and the committee's coordinator, said that the demonstrations aim to teach students useful techniques while introducing them to foods that might not already be in their culinary wheelhouse.

Blanchard said that his personal favorite was the Sushi with Gusto demonstration even though it wasn't hands on. Attendees watched chefs prepare veggie, California and tuna rolls, which were then passed around the room.

But once she gave it a try, she felt like she could recreate the techniques in her own kitchen.

With the economy in its current state, the last thing hardworking students need is to have to compete for admissions, scholarships and jobs with people that cut corners to get where they are. Fortunately, people right here at KU are leading a nationwide effort to ensure schools and testing institutions stay one step ahead of people who cheat on tests.
On May 23 and 24, the KU Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation will
hold its first scholarly conference to focus on using statistical analysis of answers as a way to detect test fraud through patterns of irregularity. Neal Kingston, director of the center, says that the conference will "benefit students by creating a fair system so that everyone is on an equivalent playing field."
Representatives from state education departments, college admission boards and private testing institutions will be attending to collaborate on methods to address test fraud. Schools and exam boards are able to do so, Kingston explains, by recognizing similarities in test answers and patterns in answer changing, as well as implementing state-of-the-art security measures and reviewing the incentives of schools.
Emerging problems in electronic test fraud will be given special attention, as well as the institutional problem of macro-level cheating that has risen from school districts competing for results-driven funding.

fried noodles //SARA SNEATH
He's stirring a large pot of rice noodles with metal chopsticks when he looks over at me. "You have to keep stirring the noodles or they will clump up," he says.
Sonephasith Phansiri, a senior from Vientiane, Laos, is preparing his own recipe of fried noodles, similar to Thailand's Pad Thai. He says his family told him he's not allowed to come to reunions without it.
Rice noodles, also known as rice sticks, are gluten free and take much less time to cook than noodles made from grain. He boils the noodles for 10 minutes before draining them and putting them in a bowl of cold water. Phansiri says the cold water keeps the noodles from overcooking. With 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick pan, he fries a pound of shrimp.
"You can steam or fry the shrimp, whichever you prefer," Phansiri says.
When the shrimp turns pink he sets the pan aside and scrambles three eggs. He says you can
in a deep pan, he pours in the noodles and adds one 8-ounce jar of Lee brand Pad Thai Sauce. You can find the sauce at the Chinatown Food Market, 202 Grand Blvd in Kansas City, Mo. He tosses the noodles around in the pan to work in the sauce.
or this recipe, Phansiri used half of the 14-ounce package of rice noodles. He adds the cooked shrimp and continues to pan toss the ingredients. He uses a flat spoon to plop a por-

eggs and shrimp and continues to pan toss the ingredients. He uses on my plate and then sprinkles on fresh onions, cilantro and crushed peanuts. He cuts a lime and places a wedge at the corner of my plate.
The dish has a nice balance of sweet and spicy. The red chili pepper in the pad that sauce smells much hotter than it is. The best part about making fried noodles in your home is there are noticeably more shrimp in every portion.

Out & About... Smartphone use and "Draw Something" //SARA SNEATH
Smartphones are quickly becoming the fastest growing technology in the U.S. The phones are saturating the American market more quickly than the radio, VCR and even the Internet, according to data analysts at Asymco. Asymco, a digital research blog, says that more than 50 percent of U.S. households now own a smartphone. The site estimates that it has taken the smartphone industry eight years to reach half of American consumers. Gartner, an information technology research and advisory company, predicts mobile application revenue will increase 1000 percent between 2010 to 2014.The popularity of "Draw Something" and Instagram appear to support this prediction.
Has this trend in mobile applications reached the University of Kansas? All of the KU students I spoke with in the Underground had a smartphone. They told me whether or not they've played "Draw Something" and about the best images they've seen or made.

RACHEL (RIGHT) CREDITS HER FRESHMAN YEAR ROOMMATE MEGAN AS BEING A MAUOR REASON SHE STAYED AT KU KHER FIRST YEAR.
My street wasn't plowed, and as I drove through the skids and bumps to get to my house, I once again started to get butterflies in my stomach, as I had for the past two weeks. It was December of my senior year of high school and I had applied to only one college, New York University, 1,300 miles away from my small hometown in Kansas. I hadn't heard back and was getting the gnawing feeling that I wasn't going to get into the college I had planned my future life around. I turned into my driveway and stopped at the mailbox, as I had done every day for at least a month. This was the first time in my life I had been anxious about checking the mail, as I had meticulously crafted my resume and stressed over perfecting my application just two months before. I carefully opened the box, took out its contents and flipped through. Bill, bill, catalog, and an envelope addressed to Miss Rachel Schultz.
I started shaking. It was the small envelope. I had heard from people I had met upon visiting that the big envelope was
the telltale sign of an acceptance letter. I didn't even have to open it to know that what I was holding wasn't that. I started crying. Now it seems so trivial, crying over not getting into my dream college. But that's what I did. Most people from Hays go straight from Wee Friends Preschool through middle school to Hays High School, and on to Fort Hays State University. The town was self-contained; hardly anyone moved away. Although I respect the people who choose to make Hays their home for life, I knew that would never be me.
Maybe it was the movies, maybe I was looking to fulfill a cliché, but whatever the reason, I dreamed that New York was the place for me. I wanted to get away from the country music and conservative life I had led in Kansas to meet new people and try the big city on for size. How would I ever know what I liked if I didn't experience it all? I planned to go to New York and do something in theatre, whether it was to star in the show or write reviews from the audience, I didn't know, but I
did know it was far away from the only thing I had ever known, and that excited me.
People had told me not to do it. Advisers didn't outright said that the chances were slim to none that a small-town girl from a public high school in Kansas would get into an East Coast private school, but they made it clear that it wasn't likely. I wouldn't listen. I was determined to prove them wrong and get out of Kansas for a life I always dreamed of in a big city (so typical, right?). But holding that letter in my hand, I knew those plans were coming to a screeching halt.
I got in my car and drove straight to my mom's store where she was working. Normally I walk in and am greeted with big smiles from her coworkers and sloppy kisses from the store Labrador retriever, but today they must have known something had gone wrong, because they kept their distances. I had calmed myself down, but when my mom saw my face, she knew immediately what had happened, and I started crying again. I apologized to her and my dad for taking me to New York (twice), for visiting the school and for an interview the month before. I was actually ashamed that they had done that for me, believed in me so much, and that I hadn't made it happen. Other deadlines for schools had passed (and I hadn't researched any others anyway). My mom knew this, so of course, with a smile on her face, she asked, "So, KU it is?" I nodded, but I was still visibly upset from NYU's rejection. I told her to keep that letter, because one day it wouldn't bother me anymore and I wanted to see it again then.
The next few months, I did a little research about Lawrence and KU. To be honest, I was still reluctant to apply because I didn't fully believe that I wasn't going to spend the next four years of my life in New York. I finally applied online in April, got an acceptance later that month, and visited campus for the first time that summer at orientation, all the while planning to apply for transfer to NYU second semester of freshman year. I found out who I would be living with in June, facebook-creeped her for the next two months, and finally met my freshman year roommate, Megan, on an especially
hot afternoon on move-in day in August. It didn't take long to learn that she was in the same situation as I; she applied to her dream school but came to KU, a fortuitous coincidence.
Recruitment began, a week later I pledged a sorority and classes began, and over the next few months my skepticism faded and eventually I closed the application for transfer that was forever-opened on my computer. Somewhere between those first few days in the dorm, tiptoeing around each other and hiding our bad habits, and only a few months later, embarrassingly singing Taylor Swift songs and dancing up and down the hallways like idiots together, Megan and I became great friends. I know that a lot of why I enjoyed KU so much and decided to stay was that she and I got to figure out our new paths together that first year here.
In the back of my mind, I kept considering revisiting the application, just seeing if I got in, and then deciding whether or not to accept, but then I realized I didn't want to know. In a matter of weeks I had made my life here, made friends I couldn't imagine leaving, and realized how lucky I was that I didn't go to New York. I came to KU, fell in love with the campus and people, and over the next four years gathered a collection of experiences that I never would have had in New York City.
My life may not have taken the path I originally planned, but it's for the better. As graduation approaches, I'm sure I'll have to face rejection again. Searching for jobs, I know I might not get my first, second or even third choice, and that's even if I get asked back for an interview. I may not know where exactly I'll be this time next year, but I can say that that NYU rejection letter prepared me more for life than a lot of high school and college did, because it finally taught me that I'm not always going to get what I want, when I want to get it.
I don't know if my mom still has that letter, but I hope she does. I'm sure she opened it at some point just on the off chance I did actually get in. Even so, I still wouldn't regret my decision to come to KU. Whatever paths I end up taking from here on out may not be the ones I originally planned on, but they will be good ones nonetheless.

compromising the integrity of the icing. Students were invited to try the techniques themselves before chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were passed around.
The event was part of a recent series of cooking demonstrations hosted by Student Union Activities' culinary committee. A demonstration earlier this month featured Janna Traver, executive chef for KU Dining, who prepared Peruvian food.
Patrick Blanchard, a sophomore from Wamego and the committee's coordinator, said that the demonstrations aim to teach students useful techniques while introducing them to foods that might not already be in their culinary wheelhouse.

Blanchard said that his personal favorite was the Sushi with Gusto demonstration even though it wasn't hands on. Attendees watched chefs prepare veggie, California and tuna rolls, which were then passed around the room.
Although Wednesday's demonstration was the last of the semester, Blanchard said that he hopes to see next semester's coordinator continuing the presentations.
"When they iced that cake, I've never seen somebody do that so fast and so well." Tretbar said.

unique is the placement or some of the competitions, most notably the shot put and long jump. Last year, these two meets took place in downtown Lawrence between Massachusetts Street and New Hampshire Street. This marked the first time in the United States that a track and field meet was held on a street. The men's shot put drew 2,500 people at the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets
I encourage everyone in Lawrence this weekend to attend the Kansas Relays. They are steeped in history. It should be something that students and residents should be prideful about. If you're attending the meets in downtown Lawrence, you're able to not only enjoy watching the meets, but also visit downtown shops, restaurants and bars.
The University will also attempt to break the record for world's largest nacho plate during the Relays. After all, records were made to be broken.

institution with faculty, staff, students and alumni who are nothing short of inspiring.
During Bell's time at the University, four major engineering-focused research centers were created, including the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. Eaton Hall and the M2SEC research building were both constructed during his tenure here. Doctoral student enrollment and annual research
awards to faculty have nearly doubled since Bell became dean.
FUNDING
Miller Coors offers grant to University
HANNAH BARLING editor@kansan.com
The University recently received a $10,000 grant from the Foundation for Alcohol Research's Great Plays program. The grant, which was funded by the Miller Coors Brewing Company, will assist with the development of the Jayhawk Buddy System.
The Jayhawk Buddy System is designed to encourage students to act responsibly and safely when drinking during both celebratory and typical weekend partying. This campaign will include a "responsibility" message in its advertising at Kansas Athletic events.
"Any help we can give this program helps the school because if this program works, then everybody wins", said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. "This program helps establish behavior that encourages responsibility before negative incidents happen."
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success, said a significant portion of the grant will be dedicated toward evaluating the effectiveness of the program.
"Thus far we've used the money we've had to market the program and brand it with students so that it's easily recognized," DeSalvo said.
The grant will also go toward the development of promotional campaigns to spread the Jayhawk Buddy System logo and its ACT message: Agree to stay together, check on each other regularly, take charge to get home safely.
9157268301
"With this grant we are really going to focus so that people will know the Jayhawk Buddy System and encourage them to use the three protective behaviors."
Check out the Jayhawk Buddy System's toolkit:
http://udkne.ws/HX53tb
DeSalvo said.
While some students wear ACT message t-shirts, others aren't as informed.
"I have no idea what the Buddy System is, but after hearing about it, it's a good policy not to leave your friends behind," said Katie Drape, a freshman from Overland Park. "I think it's good they got the money because they need to make students more aware."
Other students had suggestions to better the program in the future.
"I hope they continue to use the money to keep the KU students safe while out drinking with friends," said Becky Johnson, a sophomore from Lindberg. "Maybe they could team up with the SafeBus system and have a bus run on Wednesday nights since it has become such a popular night among students."
DeSalvo said this grant will allow the Jayhawk Buddy System to enhance its efforts and improve the program overall.
"Once we understand how effective we are, then we will be in a position to continue what we're doing if it's working, or to change it to become more effective," he said.

Cooking demonstrations end on a sweet note
KELSEY CIPOLLA

A cooking demonstration provided a sweet escape for students Wednesday afternoon in the Kansas Union.
Jennifer Yi and Amber Munoz from local bakery Billy Vanilly, 914 Massachusetts Street, taught students how to pipe frosting onto cupcakes, speedily ice a layered cake and add sprinkles without compromising the integrity of the icing. Students were invited to try the techniques themselves before chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were passed around.
Patrick Blanchard, a sophomore from Wamego and the committee's coordinator, said that the demonstrations aim to teach students useful techniques while introducing them to foods that might not already be in their culinary wheelhouse.
The event was part of a recent series of cooking demonstrations hosted by Student Union Activities culinary committee. A demonstration earlier this month featured Janna Traver, executive chef for KU Dining, who prepared Peruvian food.
"We try to bring people and representatives from restaurants that display skills students would be able to take home some of the
knowledge and put it to good use" Blanchard said.
Jenna Ollitsky, a junior from Leawood, was a fan of the demonstrations after watching the team from Billy Vanilly. She heard about the event from her friends but was ultimately swayed by one important factor.
She was one of several students who practiced icing and decorating cupcakes under the watchful eye of the experts, as was Bea Tretbar, a freshman from Wichita. Tretbar said that she was initially intimidated by Yi and Munoz's decorating skills.
"I love cupcakes," Olitsky said.
Blanchard said that his personal favorite was the Sushi with Gusto demonstration even though it wasn't hands on. Attendees watched chefs prepare veggie, California and tuna rolls, which were then passed around the room.

Police still searching for missing inmates

TOPEKA — A day after four people escaped from a Kansas jail, two inmates are back in custody while the other two are still at large.
All of the inmates who were moved from the facility were moved back in Thursday, according to the Department of Corrections. The remaining 18 prison inmates who were being held in the Ottawa County Jail because of prison overcrowding have been returned to the state prison in Ellsworth, department spokesman Jeremy Barclay told The Associated Press exclusively.
Two of the four inmates who escaped were apprehended Wednesday, one after he turned himself in at a Walmart in Nebraska. The other two, 22-year-old inmates Santos Carrera-Morales and Eric James, remained missing Thursday, Carrera-Morales was convicted of first-degree murder in connection with two killings in 2007.
Barclay said the temporary decision was made after four inmates escaped Wednesday morning from the jail in Minneapolis, a small town about 120 miles west of Topeka. The prison in Ellsworth is about 50 miles southwest of the jail.
The department said that as of Wednesday, it housed 88 male inmates in four county jails under contracts paying the counties an average of $40 a day per inmate. County lockups apply to the state but must pass an inspection that includes a review of training and facilities. The state has another nine inmates who are nearing their release from prison in a work program in Johnson County.
placement in Ottawa County right now, just during this period," Barclay said. "This is an interim step while the investigation is taking place."
Police warned that James and Carrera-Morales should be considered armed and dangerous, and that they may not be traveling together. Authorities acknowledged they were not sure where they might be headed but that they could be in or near to North Platte, Neb., after another inmate turned up there.
Barclay said the department has had informal internal discussions about providing supplemental training to staffers at county jails that house state inmates.
Drew Wade, 21, had traveled in a stolen minivan to the western Nebraska town and was alone when he gave himself up about 13 hours after the jail break, police said. Wade told North Platte police that he had phoned his father, and that his father persuaded him to turn himself in.
"He walked into the local Walmart," said police Sgt. Gary Hovey. "He approached the manager and asked him to call the police."
The inmates, armed with homemade knives, overpowered guards at the Kansas jail after complaining about a broken water line in the holding cell area, Ottawa County Sheriff Keith Coleman told The Salina Journal. Coleman, who didn't respond to a phone call by The Associated Press on Thursday, said the inmates were able to open the cell doors and make their way outside. The guards suffered only minor injuries.
Hovey said Wade told North Platte police; "They all went in separate directions after they got out."

Later in the day, he told reporters that he'd prefer to remain in Congress but left open the possibility of an ambitious political future in 2016 or beyond.
"I am really committed to doing a good job in the Senate," Rubio said at a sitdown session with a dozen-plus reporters. "If I do a good job in the Senate, three, four, five, six years from now, I'll have a different opportunity ... to do things inside of government and outside

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned photographs of U.S. soldiers posing with the bloodied remains of three suicide bombers as "disgusting" and said Thursday that only a quicker exit of international forces can prevent such mistakes.
Afghan president 'disgusted' by photos of severed bodies
Karzai joined top American officials in denouncing the 2-year-old photos, the latest in a string of embarrassing controversies that have jeopardized relations between the two countries in the midst of negotiations over the withdrawal of foreign troops.
The photos were published in Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. One shows members of the 82nd Airborne Division posing in 2010 with Afghan police holding the severed legs of a suicide bomber. The same platoon a few months later was sent to investigate the remains of three insurgents reported to have accidentally blown themselves up — and soldiers again posed and mugged for a photo with the remains, the newspaper said.
A photo from the second incident appears to show the hand of a dead insurgent resting on a U.S. soldier's shoulder as the soldier smiles.
"It is such a disgusting act to take photos with body parts and then share it with others," Karzai said. "The only way to put an end to such painful experiences is through an accelerated and full transition of security responsibilities to Afghan forces."
Associated Press
The Afghan government is currently scheduled to start taking the lead in security in 2013 and fully take over by the end of 2014 when the majority of international combat troops leave.

NEW DELHI India's successful test of a powerful new missile that can carry nuclear weapons to Beijing caused barely a ripple — even in China just days after North Korea was globally vilified for a failed rocket launch.
No concerns surround launch of weapon-carrying missile
"It's not the spear, but who holds the spear that matters," said Rahul Bedi, a defense analyst in India. "North Korea is a condemned nation. It's a pariah country. Its record of breaking nuclear agreements is well known. India has emerged in that sense as a fairly responsible country."
In 2008 the U.S. ratified a landmark deal to allow civilian nuclear trade that effectively accepted India as a nuclear nation.
The vastly different responses show the world has grown to accept India as a responsible and stable nuclear power, while shunning North Korea as a pariah.
The missile, with a range of 3.100
miles, still requires a battery of tests and must clear other bureaucratic hurdles before it can be inducted into India's arsenal in a few years.
India was clear from the start that it was testing a nuclear-capable missile that could reach major Chinese cities.
The differences between the two launches were clear before they even got under way.
The condemnation of North Korea's launch was swift. The United States canceled a plan to send food aid and the U.N. Security Council announced it would impose new sanctions.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
North Korea insisted its rocket launch on Sunday was merely part of a civilian space program aimed at putting an observation satellite into orbit. The U.S. and other countries called it a thin excuse to test technology for firing a long-range missile fitted with a nuclear warhead. The launch failed when the rocket broke apart soon after takeoff.
In 2008, the US accepted India as a nuclear nation. The missile hasn't transported any weapons yet because it still has a variety of tests to undergo, but when it is ready, it will carry nuclear weapons to Beijing. The missile hasn't received any backlash from other nations.

March to concentration camps honor Holocaust victims
NOW
WARSAW, Poland — Thousands of youth from Israel, the United States and other countries marched Thursday between Auschwitz and Birkenau, the two parts of Nazi Germany's most notorious death complex, to honor the millions killed in the Holocaust.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An estimated 10,000 young people, some carrying Israeli flags or wearing them draped around their shoulders, took part in the March of the Living in Oswiecim, a town in southern Poland where the Germans operated Auschwitz during World War II.
Ten thousand youth from around the world march from Auschwitz to Birkenau in remembrance of the Holocaust. Survivors and volunteers joined the march.
The event, which takes place every year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, involves a walk of two miles (three kilometers) from Auschwitz to Birkenau, where Hitler's men executed Jews, Roma and others in huge numbers in gas chambers.
The participants were joined by a handful of Holocaust survivors and American military veterans who helped
liberate several other death camps at the end of World War II.

Leaders to discuss tensions between neighboring nations
JUBA, South Sudan — The Arab League said Thursday it would hold an emergency meeting over the increasing violence between Sudan and South Sudan. The south reported new skirmishes even as Sudan's president increased his threats of war toward the south.
Sudan President Omar al-Bashir said the recent violence has "revived the spirit of jihad" in Sudan. South Sudan said it had repulsed four attacks from Sudan over a 24-hour period as fighting on the border showed no signs of slowing.

Despite the threats from Sudan, a southern government spokesman said South Sudan was only defending its territory and considers Sudan a "friendly nation."
South Sudan broke away from Sudan last year after a self-determination vote for independence. That vote was guaranteed in a mediated end to decades of civil war between the two sides. But the sides never fully agreed where their shared border lay, nor did they reach agreement on how to share oil wealth that is pumped from the border region.

Proposed pipeline route runs length of country
LINCOLN, Neb. — Officials unveiled a new preferred route Thursday for the Nebraska portion of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline that avoids the state's groundwater-rich Sandhills region.
The proposed route would ever east around the sandhills before looping back to the original route. Developer TransCanada has said the reroute adds about 100 miles to the original 1,700-mile project that would carry oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
The full $7 billion pipeline would travel from Canada through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. TransCanada wants to build the 36-inch pipeline to carry oil from tar sands in Alberta to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Nebraska became a pivotal battleground for the project last year, pitting environmentalists and some landowners against unions and the oil industry. Heineman called a special session to address concerns over the pipeline's proposed path, and TransCanada executive eventually agreed
to route the pipeline away from Nebraska's groundwater-rich Sandhills
Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill earlier this month authorizes the state Department of Environmental Quality to review possible routes through the state and hold at least one public hearing on its evaluation. Its findings would then be added to a federal environmental review, if the company reapplies for a project permit.
The review is expected to cost as much as $2 million.

Drama for the cast of 'Desperate Housewives'
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles County judge prodded lawyers for Nicollette Sheridan and the producers of "Desperate Housewives" on Wednesday to settle the wrongful-termination suit brought by the actress that resulted in a jury deadlock last month.
"I would strongly urge you to consider settlement discussions." Superior Court Judge Elizabeth White told attorneys during a hearing in which she set a September retrial date.

A jury split 8 to 4 — a vote short of the nine-vote majority required for a civil verdict — in favor of Sheridan's claim that her character was killed off in the fifth season of the show after she accused its creator, Marc Cherry, of striking her in a rehearsal.

It amazes me how many people over the age of five still chew with their mouths open. Seriously.
To the couple in Chem 184: Will you stop coming to class if you are going to just kiss and giggle every time? Thanks.
Holy crap. A hawk just swooped down, grabbed a squirrel and ate it on top of a light post.
Just saw a guy wearing the joker makeup while driving. Is Lawrence the new Gotham? And if so, who is Batman?
How cool would it be if we replaced our buses with a trolley system?
There is nothing better than having your friend, who is dressed in drag, give you a lap dance for charity.
To the guy in my Chem lab who says he sees me all over campus but never says hi; maybe you should.

Chances are that most students have heard or used the R-word without thinking twice. Although it started out as slang derived from the medical term "mental retardation" it has become offensive for individuals and family members with intellectual disabilities.
Campaigns against the R-word, like "Spread the Word"
to End the Word" have been around for quite a while, but although they've been working hard, they've failed to end the R-word thus far.
"I think that most people don't understand how insulting the R-word really is, and they use it without thought," wrote Dr. Michael Wehmeyer, a professor of Special Education at the University, in an e-mail.

as a reader have been made aware. It's your turn.
SIGN THE PETITION
Remember that this isn't about inconveniencing you. This is about respecting others regardless of society's views. Find another word; there are plenty to choose from.
What isn't often talked about is the referencing of words with similar backgrounds as everyday insults. Wehmeyer references "imbecile, idiot and moron" as words that once referred to a person with a disability.
Sign the "Spread the Word to End the Word" pledge:
As the words are introduced, they're a better alternative than the old, insulting word, but over time, people begin to misuse the word and turn it into something it wasn't meant to be.
If the national campaign for ending the R-word isn't enough, how can we delete the R-word from the national vernacular? Start with yourself.
Make a conscious effort to keep the R-word out of your personal vocabulary. Inform people around you who use this term.
"It is through efforts to make people aware of the inappropriateness of the term and the offensiveness of the term that people become aware and begin to monitor their use of them," Wehmeyer said.

EQUALITY
Deaf individuals should not have to compromise
My parents do not consider deafness a medical condition, disability or a bad draw out of the genetic bag of luck. It is a cultural identity integral to who they are; their identities do not center around being deaf, but being deaf factors into who they are as much as their religion, race, gender, etc. My parents don't condemn cochlear implants as a whole, but they dislike the way that their culture is being swept aside as some sort of aliment to be fixed.
Recently, a friend of mine sent me an article on Facebook from NPR about cochlear implants (one entirely discussing only on how cochlear implants have improved the quality of life for the Deaf). She and I got into a discussion about this skewed perspective. There was questioning and answering in comments on it from others about what could be bad about cochlear implants, but it all remained civil. That is, until someone I knew likened the position of those in the Deaf Community against giving cochlear implants to children to being the same as the disabled community condemning stem cell treatment for children with spinal injuries.
I felt upset, flustered, and above all, angry.
I am not completely against cochlear implants and neither are my parents. Doctors have good-intentions with this technology, I know. But cochlear implants are being given out as if they are a cure-all for the Deaf. It treats being Deaf as a condition and not as an identity, a group of people within society who suffer from an affliction rather than being treated as a demographic culture within society that shares a language, shared attitudes, values, and political stakes.
Comparing children who are born deaf to children with spinal injuries is NOT an appropriate comparison. It doesn't impair your quality of life. Being Deaf is not a life-threatening condition. It causes challenges, to have to navigate society differently, just as those who belong to the LGBTQ community, or those who are racial minorities in a white dominated culture, or believers in a religion that clashes with the Christian majority in the west. Deaf people do not wish to be separated from the Hearing world, far from it. They want to be able to interact with the whole of society; they don't want to compromise a part of their identity in order to do so.
What if the medical community found a way to produce feelings of hetero-normative attraction within a gay person by some sort of drug or surgical process. Would we expect the Gay community to embrace whole-heartedly the fact that they can now be straight?
By Kathrine Gwynn
THE FIRST HALF
This might seem like an

extreme example to some, but the issue is extreme. Many don't realize that the Deaf Community views themselves in this light, as a group of people who's social and political voice is being silenced in the discussion of cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are serious, particularly when the number of young children receiving them is frighteningly rapid. And this push to the Deaf to conform to the hearing world's norms allows society to remain comfortably in the status quo.
By giving a child an implant when very young, it says, "The Deaf Community is not a community you want to be in if you can help it." By having the discussion in the media and medical community focus on the improvement of quality of life, it says "Living life as a Deaf person is a lower quality of life." By focusing so solely on the voice of those Deaf in the media who support cochlear implants says "this is what all Deaf people think."
This is not admonishing Deaf adults who choose to have an implant. It is a personal decision, one that I believe should be decided by the individual in question, not done to a child as a solution to a problem.
My father was born Deaf, but he didn't learn sign language until he was 10-year-old. My father didn't have a means of language until 10 years into his life because when he was growing up, the mode of deaf education was one that tried to fit Deaf children into the hearing world. The Deaf Community have made astounding progress in the past few decades in rights and increasing their political agency.
But the way the talk about cochlear implants is going makes me think that a few years down the line, there will be no talk of teaching children sign language or about getting involved in the Deaf community. They will not ask "What do you think about cochlear implants?" but rather "So when do you want to schedule your surgery?"

INTERNATIONAL
US drug usage cause violence in the Americas
Today is 4/20, and as college students, I probably don't need to fill you in on the significance of this day for many across campus. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, an estimated 30.6 percent of US adults aged 18-25 have used marijuana in the past year. That's a surprisingly large portion of the college-aged population reporting illicit drug use. The intent of this column is not to pick a side in the drug decriminalization debate and is certainly not to advocate for illegal behavior. Rather, it aims to inform on the very real international implications of the US drug habit.
At $144 billion, the North American market for drugs is the largest in the world, according to the World Drug Report. To put this into perspective, our black market drug trade is more valuable than the GDP of 72 percent of the countries in the world. There's a lot of money in selling drugs, no surprise there. Considering that this market is 16 times more valuable than the global market for coffee, it shouldn't be a surprise when farmers in Central and Latin America or the Caribbean, the primary origins of US drug imports, elect to grow marijuana or coca instead of coffee or other agricultural goods. The US demand for drugs distorts regional economies and brings criminal activities and violence to communities across the Americas.
Many proponents of marijuana decriminalization argue that compared to other substances, pot isn't that harmful to people or society. In fact, several credible and nationwide studies, including a recent report by UCSF, have shown that marijuana is less harmful than most other drugs, including tobacco. So it probably isn't a stretch to argue that a hypothetical drug trade based solely on marijuana would be largely benign and very mellow.

gloving@kansan.com
But most international Drug Trafficking Organizations, or DTOs, don't exclusively traffic marijuana. Like any good business, they have diversified into other markets like cocaine, heroin, MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamine. Clearly, these are a bit more harmful and attract a much more dangerous criminal element. So with money to be made by selling all of these substances, DTOs are currently waging territorial wars versus each other and nation states in order to gain a larger market share of the US demand for drugs. Think of these skirmishes as corporate take overs, but substitute lawyers and boardrooms for Kalashnikovs and political assassinations.
Much of Central and Latin America is currently caught in the midst of bitter drug-related violence, which has significantly increased in recent years in response to increased drug consumption (note: research has correlated the economic downturn with increased drug use). This violence is part of
why the US Department of State recommends that you don't travel to Mexico or much of Central America for a vacation this year. In fact, according to the United Nations, of the top 25 countries in the world with the highest murder rate, 23 are in Central and Latin America or the Caribbean. San Pedro Sula, a Honduran city and major drug distribution point, is among the most dangerous places on the planet after recording 159 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2011.
This violence is simply a response to the massive demand for drugs in the United States. We cannot blame our Southern neighbors for drug-related crime; as "entrepreneurs," they are simply validating the free market's laws of supply and demand. Instead, we must realize that our addiction is fueling drug trade in the Americas and the hundreds of thousands of deaths that are associated with it each year.
President Obama returned to the US late last Sunday after attending the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Columbia. Though a Secret Service sex scandal dominated the coverage of the event, a much more important topic of discussion was the US hunger for drugs and its effect on the Caribbean and Central and Latin America. Though this was officially foreign policy trip, Mr. Obama would do well to realize that stopping drug-related violence abroad is also a domestic policy issue.

In the second day of the Kansas Relays, collegiate and professional athletes completed the women's heptathlon and men's decathlon. Only one of the two Jayhawks finished the heptathlon, as Lindsey Vollmer scratched from the 800-meter race, which was the final event of the competition.
The winner, with 5460 total points, was unattached competitor Liz Rohrig. Kansas sophomore Amanda Caines finished in seventh place with 4063 points in her first collegiate heptathlon. She set
a personal record in several of the events during the two-day competition.
The University of Nebraska took first and second place in the decathlon, as Bjorn Barrefors won with 6271 total points. Last year's Kansas Relays decathlon winner Teran Walford took second place and finished more than 500 points behind Barrefors.
"It's fantastic, great team effort really," Barrefors said of Nebraska taking the top two spots.
Of the ten events, Barrefors believed he performed best in the discus throw.
"In the discus I almost got a
personal record," he said after the decathlon concluded.
Walford said he was happy he and Barrefors were able to place first and second in most of the events. He was not surprised that Barrefors won the decathlon and finished ahead of him, because he has seen how good Barrefors is in practice.
"I don't do very many multievents," Barrefors said. "This is my first one this year."
After winning the decathlon at the Kansas Relays, Barrefors says he hopes to compete in more multi-event competitions.

Senior Alena Krechyk was the first Jayhawk to win an event of the 2012 Kansas Relays with a victory in the women's hammer throw on Thursday. Her winning throw went 66.05 meters. The throw is the best she has had at Kansas and breaks her own school record. Krechky fouled on two of her six throws, but of her four legal throws, even the shortest of 63.55 meters would have won the competition. The native of
Belarus has had a very strong final season at Kansas so far.
Chris Holly, who competed unattached, won the men's hammer throw with a throw of 57.73 meters. There were no Jayhawks involved in the men's competition.
Holly threw the hammer over 57 meters on three of his six attempts with only one foul. He was the 2009 junior college national champion of the hammer throw at Neosho Community College. In 2010, Holly competed for the University of Missouri, earning All-Big 12 in the
hammer throw. His best collegiate throw came at the 2010 Kansas Relays, a throw of 61.42 meters, which qualified him to compete in the NCAA Championships that year.
Tomaz Bogovich, competing for Kansas State, earned second place with a throw that fell just 6 inches short of Holly's winning throw. Bogovich, a senior and a native of Slovenia, is the current Kansas State school-record holder in the hammer throw.

Sutherland leaves her mark as a Jayhawk
Aishah Sutherland came to Lawrence on Late Night as a senior in high school in 2007 and fell in love. She chose Kansas with the goal of changing the program. She now leaves with the second most blocks in program history and a Sweet 16 appearance to go along with all the other memories.
"I felt like I left my mark here," Sutherland said. "How we finished it was a great way to finish my senior year."
Sutherland, the lone senior on the women's basketball team, was the queen of the night at the team's award banquet Wednesday night. All of her accomplishments were listed off. From when she was named an AllBig 12 Honorable Mention to when she became just the 15th Jayhawk ever to amass at least 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in her career.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson told the crowd made up of family, friends and fans a story from after the Sweet 16 loss to Tennessee in Des Moines, Iowa that she said highlighted Sutherland's time in Kansas.
After the loss, Henrickson asked Sutherland what she was most proud of. Sutherland quickly responded that she was proud of the fact that she never gave up.
In her four years at Kansas she has seen a run to the WNIT Championship game and now a run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament; but it didn't always come easy for Sutherland.
She came to Kansas in the same
class as junior guard Angel Goodrich. Goodrich received a medical redshirt after she suffered two season-ending knee injuries.
Sutherland, a native from Perris, Calif., sees her family only a few times a year. But at Kansas, her teammates and coaches have become like a second family.
She was vocal during the season about her goal of going to the NCAA Tournament. When they were named on Selection Monday, she couldn't wipe the smile off her face. They made the tournament despite losing one of their best players, junior forward Carolyn Davis, to an ACL injury in February. It was the adversity like Davis' injury that she and her teammates overcame that made their run to the Sweet 16 even sweeter for Sutherland.
"It has been a journey and we have been through a lot," Sutherland said. "I love those girls."
Assistant coach Chester Nichols said her contributions this season were necessary for the success the team achieved in the end.
"We don't win without Aishah," Nichols said. "The bigger the game, the bigger she played."
"and that is her legacy here."
Henrickson texted Sutherland before the tournament and told her that teams can go only as far as their seniors take them. Sutherland reassured her coach that she could lead this team. Since Sutherland helped carry the team in the tournament and kept her promise, she would be able to cherish that accomplishment for the rest of her life.
"It is better when she left than when she got here," Henrickson said,
Sutherland was not alone in her march to the end though. Goodrich led the team with four straight 20-point performances to end the season and valiantly lead the Jayhawks without Davis.
When the decision came around for who to be named Ms. Jayhawk, an award honoring high character and high competitive drive, the staff couldn't choose between Davis and Goodrich. Instead of leaving one of the two out, the staff awarded it to both players.
"Those two kids are as good off the court as they are on the court and that matters," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks are back participating in individual practices and preparing for the next season. Kansas will return all of its players except Sutherland next season.

After dropping eight-straight games, Kansas enters the match-up with No. 23 Texas (21-13 Big 12 record) on its best stretch since the opening week of the season. The Jayhawks defeated a pair of NAIA schools — Baker University and the University of Saint Mary — during the week, and the team will need to remain focused again the Longhorns.
Last weekend, the Kansas baseball team (15-23, 3-9 Big 12) proved they could beat the nation's elite with Sunday's victory against No. 2 Texas A&M. But the Jayhawks face a huge challenge this weekend in Austin, Texas.
"I think the mentality is good," said junior infielder Jordan Dreiling. "We have a lot of energy heading into this weekend, and I think we all believe we can win. It's going to take competing on every pitch."
With only nine Big 12 schools fielding a baseball team, the top eight teams in the standings
qualify for the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City. The Jayhawks find themselves at a four-way tie in sixth place and have to win on the road to separate from the pack.
Kansas is 0-6 in conference road games and 3-12 on the season, while the Longhorns hold a 12-4 home mark. Texas' pitching staff has been almost unbeatable at home, posting under a 1.40 ERA in 16 games. Coach Ritch Price does not expect to see a lot of offense at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, so Kansas needs to perform on the basic levels of the game to have a chance.
"They have one of the best pitching staffs in the country," Price said of Texas. "These are going to be low-scoring games. That yard is huge — it's one of the biggest ballparks in America — we're going to have to pitch, play defense and execute our short-game assignments."
Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan will start Friday night against Texas' ace Nathan Thornhill. Despite limiting opposing hitters to
a batting average of .204, Duncan is winless in his last seven appearances. Duncan enters Friday's start with a 3-5 record and 3.46 ERA, while Thornhill holds a 4-2 record and 3.53 ERA.
Senior third baseman Zac Elgie has been Kansas' offensive star this April. After struggling in March with a .254 batting average, Elgie has seen his batting average climb to .306 thanks to his .316 average in April. He has hit safely in 13 of Kansas' last 14 games and knocked in four runs during the current three-game winning streak. As the Jayhawks' senior leader, Elgie plans to lead by example at Texas.
"Any time you're getting some wins, it's great," Elgie said. "The biggest thing is that we have to compete.Every at bat,we have to go in with the mindset that yes we'll get some outs and strike out, but we have to string good at bats together and get clutch hits. You never know what can happen down there."

Caps even series against champs
WASHINGTON — Playoff rookie Braden Holtby followed up a shaky outing with a superb one by making 44 saves Thursday night, and Alexander Semin scored the go-ahead goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 victory over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins that tied the first-round series at two games apiece.

Marcus Johansson put the puck past Tim Thomas less than 1 1/2 minutes after the opening faceoff, but Boston's Rich Peverley tied it later in the first period. Semin put Boston ahead for good with 1:17 left in the second on a power-play goal, his second score of the series.

It's now or never for the Kansas tennis team, at least in terms of getting a win in conference dual play.
The Jayhawks, who haven't won against any conference teams and have now lost 11 of their last 13 matches, will have one more chance to win a Big 12 match Saturday in Manhattan against No. 71 Kansas State. The match, which is the last for both teams, is set to begin at 1 p.m.
K-State is 7-13 overall this season and had lost six matches in a row before squeaking out victories against Iowa State and Missouri last weekend (both 4-3).
"Any loss is tough regardless of who it is," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We want to beat everybody possible, and that's the way we go in. We don't try to have added pressure because it's Missouri or K-State or anything."
The Wildcats currently have two singles players ranked in the nation's Top 125: sophomore Petra Niedermayerova (No. 27) and junior Karla Bonacic (No. 101). As doubles partners, Niedermayerova and Bonacic are currently No. 78 in the country as well.
Paulina Los referring to the rivalry. "It's just one more match before Big 12's, so we just want to do our best in the last match."
Junior Monica Pezzotti said that the Jayhawks' problem is as much mental as anything. It also doesn't help that eight different Big 12 teams were nationally ranked at some point this season — the only two that haven't been are Kansas and Iowa State.
"It's Kansas State, so it's kind of like Missouri, I guess," said sophomore
"With Baylor, we lost 4-3." Pezotti said. "It's matches where they are some of the best in the conference. We were right there, so we need to build our confidence and believe in ourselves that we can beat those teams."
After playing K-State, all Big 12 teams will travel to College Station, Texas, for the Big 12 Championships, which begin April 26. The layhawks, who haven't won a match at the conference tournament since 2008, will likely be the No. 10 seed and could face the Wildcats yet again in the first round of the tournament.
"I think it's our minds," Pezzotti said. "We think, 'Oh, we're playing against Baylor or Texas, since they are top teams. We need to have the belief that we can win and be at the top of the conference."

Orioles continue road-game success
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Jason Hammel struck out 10 and closer Jim Johnson fanned Alex Rios with the bases loaded 'Thursday to preserve the Baltimore Orioles' 5-3 win over the Baltimore White Sox.
Adam lones hit his fifth homer of the season and an RBI double. He's gone deep four times in the first seven games of Baltimore's 10-game road trip. The two-run shot in the fifth inning was his first this year with a runner on base.
Hammel (2-0) matched a career high for strikeouts, doing it in just six innings. He worked out of trouble early, leaving the bases loaded in the first and third.
The game was briefly delayed in the top of the seventh when a young boy who appeared to about 4 or 5 years old slipped through a barricade and went running across the outfield. With the crowd laughing, White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo scooped him up and handed him over to a security guard.
Johnson earned his sixth save. He has converted 14 straight chances dating to last season.
Hammel bested Gavin Floyd (1-2), who allowed five runs and six hits in six innings.
SOFTBALL
Adam Dunn had a walk, an RBI double and scored for Chicago. He extended his streak of getting on base to six appearances before striking out his next two times up, increasing his AL-high total to 21.
Dunn singled with two outs in the ninth, moving pinch-runner Brent Morel to third, and Paul Konerko was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Rios struck out looking to end the game.
The Orioles won three of four from Chicago and have won their first two road series of the season, including two of three at Toronto last weekend. Baltimore won just five road series last season.
Jones doubled during a two-run first. In the fifth, after J.J. Hardy's sacrifice fly broke a 2-all tie, hits a full-count fastball from Floyd into the left-field seats.
Endy Chavez reached bases three times and scored two runs for Baltimore.

Jayhawks planning to sweep away Cyclones
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
With 11 regular season games remaining, this weekend's three-game series again Iowa State (13-28, 1-11) means crunch time.
"Sometimes if you stress too much or want it too much, it doesn't happen for you," coach Megan Smith said. "We just need to take a deep breath and we need to play our game and whatever happens, happens."
Kansas (26-15, 3-12) will need to win against the last place Cyclones to reach NCAA Regionals next month.
Kansas' offense, now ranked fourth in the Big 12 with a .286 batting average, continues to hit, in large part because of the emergence of two freshmen infielders: Chanin Naudin and Maddie Stein.
Smith said she expects three tough games against a team that is "very similar to us."
Naudin is 18-for-30 (.600) during her current 10-game hitting streak and has taken full advantage of hitting in the third spot in the lineup. In that stretch, she has collected five doubles, two home runs and 12 RBIs.
Stein has also provided consistency in the lineup. Stein has 11 hits in nine games since she got regular playing time on April 1 against Oklahoma.
"It's been really cool to see some freshman step up who maybe were a little nervous at the start of the season, who have completely busted out of their shell," junior outfielder Rosie Hull said.
Junior outfielder Maggie Hull has been a strong presence throughout the season. She's tied for the league lead with 53 hits and 12 doubles and is third in the conference batting .398 on the year. Her twin sister, Rosie, called her "the strongest mental player I think I've ever known."
Added Smith of Stein's approach to the game after waiting her turn to crack the lineup:
"That girl works hard. She studies the game, she asks questions, she wants to know why, and what she should be looking for. She's a student of the game."
Kansas hopes to exploit an Iowa State pitching staff that carries a league-worst 7.07 ERA — a far cry from the sub-2.00 team ERAs of Oklahoma, Missouri and Bavlor.
41
"I'm definitely going to make sure I'm hitting my spots a little bit better and not walking as many," Druhan said. "Other than that, keeping the same mentality of going after hitters and taking care of business."
For the Kansas pitching staff,
Junior pitcher Morgan Druhan hopes to improve on a 175-pitch, 10-walk outing against Texas last weekend.
It's not every weekend Kansas faces a sub-.500 club in the Big 12 Conference. In order to reach postseason competition, Smith said Kansas couldn't ease up at this point.
it expects to face a strong ISU offense, one similar to Kansas' lineup. Both teams have 52 doubles on the season, while the Cyclones have 30 home runs to Kansas' 25.
"Sometimes at the end of the season you can coast: we're not doing that," Smith said. "We're pushing them even harder now, trying to lock in. But staying relaxed because, at the end of the day, whatever is going to happen is out of our hands."
MEN'S BOWLING
The series begins Friday night at 5 p.m. It is scheduled to continue Saturday at 2 p.m. and wraps up on Sunday beginning at noon.
Bowling team heading to nationals once again
For the second consecutive season, the Kansas men's bowling team is competing in the national bowling championship tournament.
Kansas, ranked 19th in the nation,
will participate in the 2012 United
States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate
Team Championships, which spans from
April 18 to April 22 in Lincoln, Neb.
Kansas won the national championship in 2004. Last season, it tied for seventh place.
"Our expectations are high going in," said Matt Washford, the team captain. "And our Matt wholly believes that we have a shot to win the title this year as long as we do what we need to do and execute shots."
Edited by Tanvi Nimkar
The top four of 16 teams for men's and women's fields advanced to the tournament. Wichita State joins Kansas as the only other in-state school to compete in the tournament.
"Going into sectionals with five seniors, I felt confident that we would make the cut to qualify for nationals," coach Burton Geftord said. "This year, we will not be going into nationals blind, since we competed in nationals last year. We will use that experience, hard work and determination to make a run at this year's national championship."
The championships are viewable on livestream, YouTube or BowlTV. Updates will be available on the team's Facebook page.

TRACK AND FIELD
Kansas Relays move to Memorial Stadium
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The sun reflects brightly off the empty bleachers of Memorial Stadium while coach Elsha Brewer sits a few rows from the track watching the Kansas sprinters finish practice.
Friday and Saturday they will be racing on this same track in the Kansas Relays, but with thousands of people in attendance. Right now coach Brewer appears to be the only one watching.
During the past eight years that Brewer has coached sprints and hurdles, her athletes have almost entirely rewritten the record books at Kansas.
"Nobody gives you permission to run fast, you take that." Brewer says to sophomore spinner Shawn Smith as he stands on the track after finishing his last sprints of the day. "What you have to do is you have to take the disappointment away by taking control of your own success and I think it is that simple."
Smith seems to understand. "Focus on what I can control," he
ly, " Brewer responds.
---
---
We this energy in practice and I think it carries over to competition, and I think they expect it," Brewer said of her athletes.
Though she didn't know if she would one day coach, she has always possessed a sense of natural leadership. Even in her days as an All-American in the 55-meter dash at Arkansas, Brewer was coaching her teammates. It just wasn't until years later that she realized it.
One of the biggest stories this outdoor season for Kansas on the track has been the success of junior Paris Daniels. Last Saturday in the UTEP Invitational, Daniels reached the B-provisional qualification mark for the Olympic trials in the 200-meters — the same event in which she was crowned junior college national champion last year at Coffeyville before transferring to Kansas.
As a coach, Brewer is always looking for ideas that her athletes can improve. Daniels could potential improvements in technique be said.
"Paris is a competitor, that's one thing that I've learned about her." she said. "I think she's very coachable. She listens, she wants to be successful, and she wants to help the team."
"Most people would say they need someone to push them to run fast" Brewer said. "I think for her she just needs a meet. She just needs the gun to go off for her to understand I'm trying to get from this line to that line the fastest I can.' I think it has to do with the competitive spirit inside of her."
"I've always heard about the Kansas Relays, and I finally get a chance to experience it," Daniels said.
Paris is excited to compete in her first outdoor home meet as a Javahawk this weekend.
Once the actual races start and the competitiveness kicks in for Daniels, there is one voice that she will likely hear above the noise of the crowd: coach Brewer's.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 11
"An off-day couldn't come at a better time."
Eric Hosmer, Royals' first baseman on the team's losing streak.
Source: kansascity.com
FACT OF THE DAY
Since 2003, the Royals haven't had an eight-game winning streak. However, they have had 11 eight-game losing streaks.
Source: baseball reference.com
1.
Q: Who was the Royals' only All-Star Game representative in 2006?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: Mark Redman, who finished the season with a 5.71 ERA.
THE MORNING BREW Wishful slogan backfires on KC Royals
Since its first utterance by team management, one phrase has haunted Royals fans across the
country. This phrase, shown during commercial breaks of virtually every game this season, has turned into a national joke and a rally cry for general manager Dayton Moore's non-believers: "Our Time."
A team with one winning season since 1994 and no playoff appearances since 1985 has the audacity to run a marketing campaign with the slogan "Our Time." The same team that today is known less for George Brett and more for Ken Harvey meeting the tarp, Chip Ambres' dropped popup, Ken Harvey's back meeting a ball thrown to home plate, 19 straight losses in 2005 and Ken Harvey's fist meeting Jason Grimsley's face.
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
And as the losses pile up, only one question remains for the long-time fans of this snake-bitten organization: What else could have happened?
If there are baseball gods the Royals organization is proof that they have a sense of humor. The Royals have now lost seven straight,
beginning with a back-to-back hit-by-pitch walk-off against Oakland and six consecutive losses at home to start the season. No Royals team in history has ever done that.
And so naturally the "Our Time" catchphrase has evolved into a sarcastic, backhanded hashtag on Twitter. Drew Smily shuts down your team's offense? #OurTime. Prince Fielder steals a base off your team's defense-first catcher? #OurTime. Your team has as many benches-clearing confrontations as wins by April 20? #OurTime.
Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez, whose squad swept the Royals last weekend, seemed to be motivated by the "Our Time"
nonsense after his team's second of three victories.
"Huge team win tonight," Perez wrote on his Twitter account, @ChrisPerez54, "Time for a sweep to tell the Royals it's not 'Our Time,' it's #TribeTime."
You know you've hit a new low when Cleveland is talking smack.
"Our Time" has received so much scrutiny that on Monday, #AlternateRoyalsSlogans was trending nationally on Twitter. And while even the most cynical fans did not predict a seven-game losing streak by April 18, the question remains: Who in the Royals marketing department couldn't have seen this coming?
The team's fourth starter, Luis Mendoza, is prospect roadkill. New closer Jonathan Broxton's ERA last season was almost as rotand as he is. The team has started two former Houston Astros backups in its last two games.
The organization demoted promising rookie second baseman Johnny Giavotella for defensive purposes, opting to go with a platoon of Chris Getz and Yuniesky Betancourt at the position instead.
KU
Yuniesky Betancourt, Defensive purposes.
Let that sink in for a second.
Yes, the season is still young, as are most of the key players. It would take an extraordinary failure for the Royals to reach my pessimistic preseason prediction of 100 losses. But the "Our Time" slogan has already made the team and its fans look delusional and underservedly braggadocios.
Now it's "time" for Royals fans to put this expectation-inflating nightmare slogan where it belongs: in the deepest, darkest corner of their minds, alongside Gil Meche's 132-pitch game, Juan Gonzalez's contract and Ken Harvey's token All-Star Game appearance.

Bowling strikes its way to nationals
You really like the memories, but it's only worth opening up once in a while.
Edited by Anna Allen
But — like many things outside the confines of Allen Fieldhouse — it doesn't get the recognition by the student body.
Results are important, but not everything for a track and field athlete. More than anything they want to stick out to everyone that's actually paying attention, before they're put back on the shelf until 2016.
Throughout the storied history of the Kansas Relays, it's always been looking off as a jumping point for the summer track and field season.
She will not only dazzle in the NCAAs or the outdoor Big 12 Championships, but look for her to possibly make some noise in Eugene, Ore., when America's eyes are on the best group of athletes competing for a plane ticket to London gor the Olympics.
But regardless if it's an Olympic year or not, Lawrence gives all of the athletes competing at the Kansas Relays its full attention for one weekend of April whether the Olympics are on display or not.
Dixon, a sophomore from Houston, will be someone to watch during the next couple of months, as we get closer to the Olympic Trials.
The Kansas Relays are a special campus tradition right up there with waving the wheat and the Rock Chalk chant.
COMMENTARY
Track and field is one of those tricky sports that we only pay attention to every four years. It's kind of like that yearbook collecting dust on your shelf.
Here's what I can tell you about these track athletes. They are persistent and focused. For the most part they all run, jump and chuck through injuries of all sorts.
Relays show off athletes
Usually throughout a season, a track athlete gets clipped in a race, blisters open up on the foot, or maybe a stress fracture impedes them from running at 100 percent. And you know what? They keep going.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
People don't notice their hard work throughout the year, but right now people are paying attention to them. Not just because it's an Olympic year, but also because the Jayhawks have put together a solid showing this year.
The women's team took second at the NCAA indoors in March. They also had two NCAA champions in the 400-meter. Sprinter Diamond Dixon.
From my experience around track athletes, it's usually the latter. They're a tight-knit group who realize this is their time to shine.
Each one has a unique set of qualities to them.
The most interesting part of track athletes is the camaraderie that they share with their teammates. Many of them spend countless hours training with their fellow runners so there are usually two options: Either hate the person, or learn to like them.
These are fascinating athletes who've homed their body to perform in a specific event that makes them run the longest, sprint the quickest or throw the farthest.
KANSAS RELAYS
LEAPS AND BOUNDS
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Janay DeLoach is enjoying her first trip to Kansas. Thursday night she competed in the unique downtown long jump and quickly became a crowd favorite.
"The fans are closer to you and they get to really see what it is like up close and personal," DeLoach said. "I like to put on a little bit of a show, so I liked it."
She came to the Kansas Relays as the defending USA Indoor champion in the long jump. After a couple hours she left with another victory, claiming the Long Jump title in Lawrence.
With her attempt, DeLoach set a high precedent clearing 6.37 meters which led competition for the first four rounds. Tori Polk pulled ahead with a jump of 6.43m on her third attempt, but one round later DeLoach recorded a jump of 6.61m which won her the title.
DeLoach was the most consistent of the jumpers, only being disqualified once. This was her first outdoor meet of the season and she said she still has a lot to do before she can go where she wants to.
"The one and only goal this season is to make it to the Olympics," DeLoach said.
While DeLoach had never been to Kansas, the athlete who followed her has quite the presence on campus and in the Relays. Kansas graduate Crystal Manning finished seventh, but garnered the loudest cheers from the Jayhawk faithful.
"It is unexplainable, it is just great to be back home," Manning said. "Everyone shows you so much love."
She graduated in 2008 and earned All-American honors that year. She was also the Big 12 Indoor Champion in the
long jump and triple jump that season.
Manning will also be competing in the triple jump later this weekend. In preparation for that event she jumped off her other foot during the long jump. Considering the recent change, she was pleased with her performance, but said there is a lot of work to do.
Late in the competition, the DJ switched her walk-up song to the Kansas fight song. She followed with her best jump of the night for 5.98m.
"It was pretty cool. I almost cried," Manning said.
Tori Polk finished second with her best jump remaining 6.43m from the fourth attempt. Brianna Glenn took third with 6.37m on her best jump.
Rose Richmond was a 2004 Olympian and she trains in Lawrence throughout the season. She got off to a strong start improving in her each jump in her first couple attempts, but peaked with a 6.36m jump before finishing with two scratches in her last three attempts.
She was disappointed with how it ended, but her consistency in the early jumps was encouraging.

Larry Brown officially named to coach at SMU

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Brown, a Hall of Famer, spent the past season spending time with different college programs across the country, most notably with Bill Self and Kansas. He could be found sitting directly behind the Kansas bench on numerous occasions throughout the season.
Brown began his coaching career in 1973 with the Carolina Cougars of the ABA and has coached at a number of places since, most recently with the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats in 2010. He's the only coach to win an NCAA championship (Kansas, 1988) and an NBA championship (Detroit Pistons, 2004).
Southern Methodist University officially named Larry Brown as head coach of the men's basketball team on Thursday.
KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
"I've built so many relationships in the basketball world and my success has been due to the coaches I've played for and the players I've coached," Brown said in a statement Thursday according to smumustangs.com. "I want to thank them all. I always thought of myself as a college coach and this gives me a wonderful chance to get back where I started."
At 71 years old, Brown will be coaching his 13th team next season with the Mustangs. The Mustangs
will be playing basketball in the Big East conference beginning in 2013. Brown is the 6th winningest coach in NBA history with 1,098 victories and has spent the majority of his coaching career at the professional level.
He coached at Kansas from 1983-1988 where he compiled a record of 135-44 over five seasons, highlighted by the 1988 national championship. While in Lawrence he gave Bill Self his first job as an assistant in 1985 as well as working with John Calipari the two years before.
"Larry Brown is one of the top coaches in the history of the game," SMU athletic director Steve Orsini said. "He is a legend and has made every team he has ever coached a winner. As we transition into the nation's top basketball conference, the Big East, his leadership will be invaluable."
Brown will look to guide the Mustangs to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993.

"Athletics is an integral part of SMU and developing a winning basketball program will dramatically increase our national profile" SMU President Dr. R, Gerald Turner said. "While providing a rallying point for our students, alumni, faculty, staff and the city of Dallas"

The alert, issued for sexual battery, said the woman was walking home at 2:10 a.m. along Sunnyside Avenue. She was outside of Haworth Hall when a white man struck her in the face and grabbed her breast.
The KU Public Safety Office issued two KU crime alerts Saturday afternoon after two separate attacks on 19-year-old University female students occurred on campus last week.
According to the alert, she described the suspect as collegeaged, between six feet and six foot three inches tall, thin build with dark eyes and dark hair between one and three inches long. He was wearing a green Ralph Lauren polo short and cargo shorts at the time of the attack. She received minor injuries but was not treated at the hospital. Police did not issue a composite of the suspect.

Kansas Relay participants and visitors feasted on heaping servings of the world-record breaking 4,689-pound nacho platter on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Centerplate, Salty Iguana, KU Athletics and Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (L.I.N.K.) collaborated to prepare the massive amount of nachos, which were 80 feet long, three feet wide and more than 10 inches deep.
total. To make an accurate decision, judges deducted the weight of the packaging and excess remnants, which was 313.6 pounds. The grand total was 4,689 pounds of pure nachos.
"We wanted to do something to match the spirit of the relays, which is breaking records," said Rick Brown, general manager of Centerplate. "We thought it would be great to do something with food and we really wanted to do something that we could involve the community in."
Judges from the Guinness World Records flew in from New York to observe the production and serving process of the nachos. The nachos, excess and packaging weighed 5,002.6 pounds in
L. I.N.K volunteers were at every entrance to the world's largest nacho area in Memorial Stadium. People were able to taste the nachos by donating money or a canned food. The proceeds were donated to L.I.N.K, which provides three-course meals for low-income families four times a week.
Philip Robertson, official adjudicator for the Guinness World Records, said Saturday was the fifth attempt of the record for the largest nacho serving since June 2002. The previous record holder belonged to 99 restaurants in Billerica, Massachusetts Street. The restaurants collaboratively served 3,999 pounds of nachos in October 2011.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
"It was fun to watch a team come together with an extraordinary goal," Robertson said. "It took a lot of coordination to get food delivered, heated and cooked thoroughly, and also for them to lay it all out in the trough and make sure everyone put everything on in the order that was necessary to fulfill our guidelines."
Preparation for the nachos started at 12 a.m. Saturday morning at the Salty Iguana and Memorial Stadium. Approximately 80 volunteers were involved with the entire process.
"Our signature on the nachos was putting on our Iguana dip," said LeAnn Brock, vice president of Salty Iguana. "It took about four of us to make all 230 pounds of dip."
Scott Peck, a sous chef from
Centerplate, said his team produced roughly 1,200 pounds of beef, bean and jalapeno mixture.
"We lost some of the product in a broken cooler this morning and had to remake it on the fly," Peck said. "It was a challenge, but the team came together."
Volunteers acted fast after losing almost 2,000 pounds of product. Philip Tillman, concessions manager for the University, received a call at 3 a.m. Since he
had access to Allen Fieldhouse, he was asked to bring as much beef, beans, and jalapenos as he could to Memorial Stadium. After adding product from the Fieldhouse, they still didn't have enough food. Tillman made trips to Walmart and Checkers to purchase the rest of the refried beans and black beans.
"I don't like to lose." Tillman said. "I was really thinking about what we could do overcome this.
It was a matter of putting our heads and resources together."
Jake Plevnic, a sophomore from Francis Howell Central high school in St. Louis, gave a scale on how excited he was about the nachos.
"On a scale of one to 10, six dump trucks," he said.

President Barack Obama speaks at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich., on April 18. Obama and the Democratic Party raised at least $53 million last month for November's re-election bid.
Super PACs may erode Obama's advantage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's re-election effort enjoyed a 10-to-1 financial edge over Republican rival Mitt Romney last month, out-raising the former Massachusetts governor by millions as Obama stuffed more than $104 million into his campaign war chest.
A nasty primary battle between Romney and his GOP rivals took a financial toll on his presidential campaign, which raised $12.6 million in March and left Romney with about $10 million in the bank by month's end. All told, Obama and the Democratic Party raised a combined $53 million in donations during that period, while Romney with his party pulled in about half of that.
for which Romney only recently started collecting donations. Super PACs like American Crossroads and its nonprofit arm, Crossroads GPS, raised $100 million this election cycle, and the groups plan to flood the airwaves in coming months with ads critical of Obama.
Still, an anticipated fire hose of cash from major Republican "super" political committees and the Republican Party is likely to bring some financial parity to the general election.
Obama's fundraising advantage puts him at a less-than-solid position when compared with the tens of millions of dollars the sister Crossroads groups have amassed so far. During the last six months of 2011 alone, GPS brought in $28 million from only a few dozen major donors, recent tax filings show.
Campaign reports also showed some disparity between the two frontrunners' staff sizes, with Obama paying more than 600 and Romney fewer than 100. But that number is expected to grow sizably as Republican donors contribute more to Romney's effort.

MANOKWARI, Indonesia — A powerful earthquake hit waters off eastern Indonesia on Saturday, sending residents and school children running into the streets in panic.

Wal-Mart accused of bribery to open new stores in Mexico
NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. hushed up a vast bribery campaign that top executives of its Mexican subsidiary carried out to build stores across that country, according to a published report.
The New York Times reported Saturday that Wal-Mart failed to notify law enforcement officials even after its own investigators found evidence of millions of dollars in bribes. The newspaper said the company shut down its internal probe despite a report by its lead investigator that Mexican and U.S. laws likely were violated.
Wal-Mart, which is based in Bentonville, Ark., said Saturday that it takes compliance with that law very seriously. It also noted that many of the "alleged activities" in the Times article occurred more than six years ago.
"If these allegations are true, it is not a reflection of who we are or what we stand for," spokesman David Tovar said.
The bribery campaign was reported to have first come to the attention of senior executives at Wal-Mart in 2005, when a former executive of its largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico, provided extensive details of a bribery campaign it had orchestrated to win market dominance.
The Mexican executive, previously the lawyer in charge of obtaining construction permits, said in emails and follow-up conversations that Wal-Mart de Mexico paid bribes to obtain permits throughout the country in its rush to build stores nationwide, the Times reported.

American, Afghan officials sign strategic ally agreement
KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. and Afghanistan reached a deal Sunday on a long-delayed strategic partnership agreement that assures the Afghan people their key American ally will not abandon the country militarily or financially for years after 2014, the deadline for most foreign forces to withdraw.
The agreement is key to the U.S. exit strategy in Afghanistan because it provides guidelines for any American forces who remain after the withdrawal deadline and for financial help to the impoverished country and its security forces. For the Afghan government, it is a way to show its citizens that its key
allies are not just walking away.
"Our goal is an enduring partnership with Afghanistan that strengthens Afghan sovereignty, stability and prosperity and that contributes to our shared goal of defeating al-Qaida and its extremist affiliates," said U.S. Embassy spokesman Gavin Sundwall. "We believe this agreement supports that goal."
After 10 years of U.S.-led war, Taliban and al-Qaida linked insurgents remain a threat and as recently as a week ago, they launched a large-scale attack on the capital Kabul and three other cities.
The draft agreement was worked
out and initialized by Afghan National Security Adviser Rangin Dadfar Spanta and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and must still be reviewed in both countries and signed afterward by the Afghan and American presidents.
"The document finalized today provides a strong foundation for the security of Afghanistan, the region and the world and is a document for the development of the region." Spanta said in a statement issued by President Hamid Karzai's office.
Neither Afghan nor U.S. officials would comment on the details of the agreement.

Soldiers searching for Kony face deadly jungle conditions
SILVER SPRINGS
RIVER VOVODO, Central African Republic — For Ugandan soldiers tasked with catching Joseph Kony, the real threat is not the elusive Central Africa warlord and his brutal gang. Encounters with the Lord's Resistance Army rebels are so rare that Kony hunters worry more about the threats of the jungle: Armed poachers, wild beasts, honey bees, and even a fly that torments their ears.

Ugandan soldiers searching for Joseph Kony face treacherous conditions and dangerous animals, like crocodiles and snakes. Many are more likely to be killed by wild beasts than catch Kony.
A soldier crossing the Chinko river in the Central African Republic on Wednesday was drowned and mauled by a crocodile, spreading terror among hundreds of soldiers who must camp near streams because they need water to cook food.
It is dry season these days, and the rivers are teeming with hungry crocodiles.
This week's crocodile attack was the second in two months, highlighting the perils of trying to catch a rebel leader about whom so little is known and who could be anywhere in this vast Central

While some young archers have been
doing it for years, motivated by generations of hunters in their families, the parents of others love it for its focus, independence and because they, too, have kids not drawn to more typical team or contact sports.
Games of a different sort are hoping for a "Hunger Games" bump come July, though kids in North America looking to catch Olympic archery will likely be sleeping during live competition.
"We're thrilled with the awareness and the excitement that The Hunger Games' has brought to the sport of archery," said Denise Parker, CEO of USA Archery, the U.S. training and selection body for the Olympics, Paralympics, Pan American Games and other world events.

FILM
'Hunger Games' 2 director predictions
director predictions
LOS ANGELES — "The Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire" will likely be directed by Francis Lawrence, a filmmaker whose resume includes the big-budget event film "I Am Legend" and the intimate drama "Water for Elephants," a person close to the production but not authorized to speak publicly confirmed Thursday. According to that person, the studio has yet to close the deal.
Independent studio Lionsgate offered Lawrence the job on Thursday, little more than a week after "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross departed in a dispute over financial terms and the amount of time he would have had to prepare to make the sequel, which starts production in August and will hit theaters in November 2013.
Lionsgate considered a number of directors for the job, including Tomas Alfredson ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"), Tony Scott ("Unstoppable") and Stephen Daldry ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"). By Wednesday, the negotiations were down to Lawrence and Bennett Miller, the Oscar-nominated director of "Moneyball" and "Capote."
Lawrence had been considered the leading candidate, however, because his schedule was open; Miller was supposed to begin shooting another movie, "Foxcatcher," this fall. In addition, Lawrence has experience with the type of special effects necessary to make "Catching Fire."
Bringing in a new director to a popular franchise is a tricky proposition, though Lionsgate subsidiary Summit did it successfully with its "Twilight" series. In Lawrence, the studio apparently believes it has found a director capable of balancing the high-octane action, personal relationships and social commentary that many critics praised Ross for capturing in "The Hunger Games."
The 42-year-old Lawrence was born in Austria and worked on music videos and commercials before making his feature film debut in 2005 on the comic-book adaptation "Constantine," starring Keanu Reeves.
McClatchy Tribune
Lawrence will have to move quickly to prepare to start shooting "Catching Fire." Screenwriter Simon Beaufoil is currently working on a script for the film.

'Downton Abbey' character-faceoff
THE ROSEMARY COURTNEY
VIOLET CRAWLEY
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Let's be real: there is no one greater than the Dowager Countess, Violet Crawley. The mother of the Earl of Grantham was introduced as an ice cold battle-axe who always got her way through either cunning or sheer force of will. Since then, the series has shown her to be empathetic and kind without ever losing the fiery spirit that made us love her in the first place.
Whether she's zinging Isobel Crawley or trying to marry Mary off, the Countess has outshone the rest of the cast with her nerve and wit.
While the show is chock-a-block with dry wit and pithy sayings, the Dowager Countess can barely speak without saying something hilarious. She's like Oscar Wilde if he were a seventy year-old woman.
Violet Crawley cemented herself as the series standout character as early as the second episode, when she asked, "What is a weekend?" and again in the Christmas special when Sir Richard threatened to leave and never come back and Violet shot back with, "Do you promise?"
When one of her granddaughters was down on her luck and feeling sorry for herself, Violet offered the immortal words, "Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class."
Of course, if all she did was constantly belittle people, it would be hard to root for Violet (although it would make "Downton Abbey" 10 times more entertaining). As the series progressed, Violet revealed herself to be the family's protector. While Robert Crawley is charged with the upkeep of Downton, Violet is the one who throws around her weight on behalf of the family and its staff.
When the servant boy William was injured in World War I, Violet is the one who pressured military superiors into moving him closer to home so his father could be with him. Around the same time, she also pressured a priest into allowing William to marry his love just before he died.
Without her hard work, thered be no Downton Abbey and without her wilt, there'd be no "Downton Abbey."
Schumaker is a senior in film & media studies and English from Overland Park.
THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
AUTHOR OF THE NOVEL "THE HARPER"
LADY SYBIL
By Gabby Pred
grped@kansan.com
Lady Sybil Crawley is by far the best character on the show. She is extremely progressive in all senses for the times and is not afraid to make her views known. She fiercely defends her opinions and stands her ground on them as well, making her a strong female figure for the early 20th century.
She stays above the pettiness of the aristocratic lifestyle, caring not for gossip, titles, or wealth but for people's individual character.
She is very smart, focusing her interests in politics, especially the suffrage movement. She rebelliously attends political rallies and wants to canvass for the Liberal party. This shakes up her fairly conservative family, especially her father and grandmother.
She is fashion-forward, in an episode of season one she sports harem pants instead of a traditional dress or skirt.
She is endlessly kind to everyone, especially the staff of Downton. She makes it her personal mission to help one of the maids pursue a career as a secretary, affording her upward social mobility (something rare and difficult for the servant class at the time).
She again defies societal norms at the advent of World War I by training to be nurse and tirelessly working at the local hospital to help take care of wounded soldiers. She understands and enjoys working an actual job, very uncommon for lords and ladies at the time.
In my opinion, one of the best sub-plots of the series is her secret romance with the family's socialist chauffeur, Branson. For years they have this secret courtship based on their mutual views on politics and society. Branson obviously loves her greatly and in the end of the second season Sibyl finally decides to tell her family. She disregards all societal pressure at this point and is willing to throw away her entire inheritance and family for love. Her father finally comes around and gives his approval and does not cut her out of the estate and the young couple moves to Dublin and gets married.
Lady Sybil is one of the only characters on the show who never acts out of malice and actively works to improve the world around her and right the many injustices present at the time.
Pred is a junior in political science and peace and conflict studies from Kansas City.

MR. BATES
By Bill McCroy bmccroy@kansan.com
I'm fully aware that the last episode of the critically acclaimed "Downton Abbey," was a few months ago but it is far too good to forget. I'm already counting down the weeks until the third season. But for now, I'm going to illustrate why John Bates is the best character and the best all-around person at Downton.
First and foremost, Mr. Bates is Lord Grantham's valet, a personal attendant who is tasked with taking care of the Lord's clothes and assisting the Lord in dressing. Bates is a man's man; an old army friend of Lord Grantham and was injured in the Boer War, which forces him to use a cane.
Above all, Bates is a highly honorable man and has a deep sense of duty and doing the right thing. Even in the face of constant ridicule in the first season from the rest of the house staff due to his need of a cane, he goes about his job without complaining or asking for extra assistance. He doesn't step out of line and doesn't get himself mixed up in other people's business, which is a constant problem in the mansion. He is honest to a fault and went to jail in the place of his wife.
Bates is flexible with the times, his dealings with his love affair, the head housemaid Anna Smith, showcase that he believes in love and equality within the relationship. And he is clearly patriotic, shown through his sense of duty and admiration toward those within the house that leave for World War 1.
So don't pay attention to my colleagues as they make the arguments for the best character. The Dowager Countess is a backwards old hag who can't understand what a weekend is. She meddles in the lives of everyone in the village and wishes the world wouldn't move on from a 19th Century way of doing things. Sybil Crawley is the youngest daughter of an Earl. She wouldn't know the plight of the working man if it hit her in the face with a croquet mallet. It isn't until the onslaught of wounded soldiers coming home from the First World War that she even considers helping anyone below her station.
Plus, Brendan Coyle, the actor who portrays John Bates in the series, is the great-nephew of legendary Manchester United football manager Sir Matt Busby. As a lifelong supporter, that settles it for me. John Bates is the best character in "Downton Abbey."

North Korea's provocations are not threatening
In 2007, 67-year-old Karl Szmolinsky made world headlines when he sold a dozen oversized rabbits to North Korea as a gesture of goodwill. According to Der Spiegel newspaper, the rabbits, which could weigh about 20 pounds each, were meant to begin a widespread breeding program to supplement the country's skimpy food supply. A few months later, the international community realized the North Korean regime didn't intend to continue fostering bunny diplomacy. Allegedly, the animals' time in Korea coincided conveniently with Kim Jong Il's birthday feast, ending that opportunity for engagement.
The most recent negotiations met a similar fate last Friday, as North Korea once again caught the world's attention. Rather than launching a weather satellite into space, the Uhna-3 rocket crashed 125 miles west of the Korean coast, according to CNN. Making predictions about the inner workings of the ultra-secretive North Korean ruling elite tends to be a difficult business, as the regime
maintains tight control over information flowing out of the country. That said, I'd bet top advisers wish they'd saved those giant rabbit feet; it looks like they're in for an eventful few months.
The violation of a series of negotiations in February, in which North Korea agreed to halt missile testing and nuclear development in exchange for food aid, fits within a broader pattern of behavior. Preparations to transfer power between Kim Jong II and his 29-year-old son Kim Jong Un began last September. In order to build Jung Un's reputation as a tough leader and create a narrative of his struggle against outside influences the regime orchestrated a series of provocations, including sinking of a South Korean naval ship, giving a Stanford physicist a tour of a previously secluded nuclear facility, and shelling a South Korean island. The advisers overseeing these moves carried out a similar strategy 40 years ago, when Kim Il Sung handed off power. After Kim Jong II's death last December, the newest leader appears prepared to cement his military credibility—an absolute prerequisite to his control over the country and its security apparatus.

To guess at what might follow, note that the launch took place just two days before one of the largest celebrations in North Korea, the hundredth anniversary of Kim Il Sung's birth. A success would have been a huge public victory for the new leadership, portraying North Korea as a major technological and military power to its domestic audience. Shockingly, the national news agency broadcast news of the failure, surely pressuring Jong Un to deliver fodder for successful propaganda soon.
to deter the country from prioritizing military strength over international goodwill or promises of foreign aid. During national festivities, Kim Jong Un's speech emphasized the importance of both military first policies and self-reliance. Government spending on military operations reaffirms this tendency. The Boston Herald reports that 15.8 percent of the official budget is devoted to defense, with other funds set aside for nuclear activities. Preparations for the failed launch alone cost $850 million, despite the sacrifice of 240,000 tons of food aid.
Don't expect this setback
With further acts of aggression likely, the question turns to what form these provocations might take. Historically, the regime has chosen to follow failed missile launches with nuclear testing, and on Tuesday it announced it would not allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to visit. Options to restrain the country remain limited. China will defend its ally's interests in the United Nation Security Council, and the Kim regime seems
Fortunately for the international community, the North Korean nuclear program still doesn't pose a particularly formidable threat. Wired magazine cites a number of experts, including former members of the U.S. Army's Space Command, who agree that the missile failure accurately reflects the country's lack of rocket capabilities. Without a functioning delivery system North Korea can't gain much leverage from its nuclear capability. Although tensions will remain high all powers will have an incentive to maintain some degree of stability, leaving the broader international community in a far better position than the giant rabbits.
unlikely to trade its biggest bargaining chip away for economic assistance. Empirically, the presence of U.S.military personnel on the island hasn't deterred unwanted aggression either.

Wren from page 1
---
Jason Wren was known as number six to the KU Lacrosse Club team. It was his constant smile and fearless athleticism that Brian Wright, a senior from
Chicago, thought of as he lifted his stick to the sky during the team's home game against the University of Wisconsin in March. The game was dedicated to Jason, and they were down 5-0 in the last quarter.
this season."
Wren's impact on campus
"We were playing like crap, to be honest," Wright said. "I remember running back to the crease and I said to myself, 'be with us out here Jay,' and right away the team just sprung. We put up five goals right away and we ended up winning 14-12, and we're still undefeated
March 7, 2009 — After missing the bus to go to a lacrosse tournament, Jason went to a local Mexican restaurant with SAE members and drank margaritas using a fake ID. The members returned to the house and continued drinking, where Wren played drinking games and drank beer, wine and hard liquor.
May 4, 2009 — Chancellor Robert Hemenway approved changes to the University's amnesty, parental notification and mandatory alcohol assessment policies.
Wright said it's the best season the team has ever had and he wished Jason, who would have been a senior, was there to play with them, and when Wright thinks of March 8, 2009, he can remember the day perfectly.
March 8, 2009 — Jason was put in his bunk bed by fraternity members about 3:00 a.m. and found unresponsive at 2:00 p.m. He was pronounced dead about 2:45 p.m. An autopsy revealed he died of alcohol poisoning and his blood alcohol concentration was .362 at his time of death.
November 12, 2009 — Jay and Mary Wren, Jason's parents, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Kansas chapter of SAE, the entity that owns the house, the national organization, six SAE members and four officers. The suit was settled privately in March 2011.
March 16, 2009 About 1.000 people attended Jason's funeral at Cherry Hills Community Church in Littleton, Colo., including some of Jason's lacrosse teammates, University friends and SAE members.
Jason Wren, a 19-year-old freshman from Littleton, Colo., was a Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge. He had just moved into the SAE house, 1301 West Campus Road, the weekend before, and was found cold, his shirt soaked in vomit, and dead in his bunkbed about 2:00 p.m. An autopsy later showed his blood alcohol concentration was .362 percent at the time of his death.
April 16, 2010 — SAE partnered with the Delta Gamma sorority to host the first Jason Wren Initiative, an event designed to educate students and members of the Greek Community about alcohol use in college. In March 2011, SAE announced its plans to host the initiative annually.

Sobering up
Jason moved into Oliver Residence Hall in the fall of 2008, but midway through the spring semester, hbut had to find somewhere else to live by the end
of February.
The KU Department of Student Housing prohibits alcohol in all residences. According to Clery Act records, during the calendar years of 2008 and 2009 in on-campus residence halls, there were 1,881 times in which students had violated the liquor law policy and received disciplinary action or a judicial referral, which an administrator determines if action is necessary.
Jason received at least three of those violations, and when he downplayed the violations to his father, Jay Wren, Jay started asking questions.
When he called the department to find out why Jason was asked to leave, he was told they could not discuss Jason's alcohol violations with him because of the University's privacy policy.
Jason was able to pledge SAE through a friend and permitted to immediately move into the house, but Jay wanted to try and keep Jason in the residence hall if he could.
"The weekend Jason had to move. I took Jason with me to the housing office so we could all talk about it together and plea his case," Jay said. "When we got there, they were closed."
Jay became outspoken about the University needing to change its privacy policy and spoke to various media outlets, including The University Daily Kansan. Jay also learned that Jason was put to bed by fraternity members, then stumbled back out of bed, slurring his words, and instead of calling for medical help, fraternity members placed him back in bed. It became apparent to Jay that students needed education to recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning.
On May 9, 2009, Chancellor Robert Hemenway approved three policy changes; one of the changes was parental notification. Under the new policy, parents are notified when a student under the age of 21
Jane Tuttle, Assistant Vice Provost for Student Affairs, said the University was already looking at changing alcohol policies after conducting a 2008 priority group, which recommended supportive services for alcohol and education.
on the Lawrence campus is in violation of the alcohol policy. Tuttle said in an email the University was already looking into changing the policy and found that other universities "had reported fewer incidents of alcohol abuse when parents were notified and viewed as partners in combating alcohol and drug abuse."
AlcoholEdu for College, a two-part education course, is required for all newly enrolled students who are seeking a degree under 22 years old.
"The AlcoholEdu program was adopted because it had been shown to make a difference in student alcohol use and abuse," Tuttle said in an email.
The third change was to the amnesty policy. Students who seek immediate medical assistance for someone involved in an alcohol related incident will not be punished by the University. Tuttle said the Public Safety Office was already implementing this policy when responding to alcohol calls, but making it official made more students aware of the change.
A month after Jason's death, Dalton Hawkins, freshman from Shawnee, died after falling off the roof of Watkins Scholarship Hall. A coroner's report showed Hawkins had been drinking.
After both deaths, the Public Safety Office received a push to better patrol and enforce alcohol violations.
"After the incidents, the University was very concerned and we are always very supportive of
the night before his death, Jason purchased pitchers of margarita with SAE members at downtown Mexican restaurant using a fake ID.
Since then, the Fake ID 101 Taskforce formed, a campaign led by Draw the Line Lawrence. Funded by grants, the campaign provides education, including how to spot fake IDs and the consequences of serving to minors to local bar owners and employees. It also provides posters around town displaying the consequences of possessing a fake ID. The taskforce teams up with the Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the KUPD to issue citations to underage drinkers. It targets local bars, liquor stores and most recently, house parties.
Jen Jordan, director of prevention at Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said 352 individuals were cited for 498 violations in the previous three semesters.
Jason the gentleman
Jason fit in at SAE though his friends say he could fit in anywhere. The fraternity's men strive to be gentlemen and learn to care for others
about etiquette and care for others,
a mantra that Jason already knew
SAE held its own memorial service for Jason, which thousands attended, including Wright. He also went to Jason's funeral in Colorado with the team and they gave Jason's number six jersey to his father. For Wright, seeing SAE members both times was difficult.
"Jason was the one that would do anything to help you," Wright said. "If you were the drunk one, he'd take care of you. I have no doubt about it."
"I had a whole lot of animosity towards SAE at first," Wright said. "He had lived there a couple weeks and then he was dead. They were talking like he was their brother,
The fraternity underwent scrutiny after Jason's death, though an internal investigation by the national SAE fraternity did not find criminal action or negligence led to Jason's death. The house did not become dry like Jay asked it to be, but McLane said significant changes have been made.
it."
"We're not trying to sweep it under the rug." McLane said. "We obviously took it and continue to take it very seriously. We had a brother die in our house. It was an accident and we know with the right education and management we can limit those accidents if not exclude them."
The fraternity returned to its core values of being gentlemen and active, productive members of society, which meant no longer having house parties or hard liquor in the house.
McLane said in fall 2010, 25 members either chose not to return or were not invited back because they could not follow or appreciate the changes made within the house.
"There were only 13 of us at that point," McLane said. "We have grown that number to about 40 since then, so yes, I'd like to think that it is a different house since 2009."
According to court documents.

"I think about the three of them every single day," Jay said. "It's been a tough journey, and I hope and pray that Jason will save someone else's life."
what KU wants to accomplish," said Maj. Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said. "We realized there were ways we could help do that. So, the officers made sure to look for and respond to those incidents on campus, particularly MIPs."
According to yearly criminal offense reports, in 2008, the year before Wren's death, one person was cited for liquor law violations. In 2009, the number rose to 28 and in 2010 the number was the highest it had been in 10 years at 55.
and it was just like, 'no, no he was our brother.' We lived with him; we spent hours together sweating at 5 a.m. and working so hard together."
SAE president Chapin McLane, who did not know Jason personally, said it's unfortunate when people blame the death on the fraternity.
"His memory is forever apart of this house now," McLane said. "Maybe in a different way, because a lot of the guys who knew him aren't here anymore, but we do still tell his story to the pledge classes and we want them to remember
After Jason's death, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic, the umbrella organizations for most Greek organizations, did not change its joint alcohol policy.
Seth Miller, the director of risk management for IFC, said in recent years, IFC has been working hard to assure all aspects of the IFC are working properly.
"The biggest thing we have done is just make sure every chapter follows the rules and that there are consequences if they don't," Miller said. The consequences are generally fines and an appearance before the judicial board.
Miller said IFC has also changed its party notification forms from one-page to four-page documents, requesting information from fraternities hosting official events. The party the night of Jason's death was not an official event, as the event forms must be turned in at least four days in advance, and
earlier Kansan stories revealed the party that night at SAE was the result of members choosing to stay in because of bad weather.
McLane said SAE ensures it is abiding by the standards put forth by the IFC by attending regular meetings and asking IFC or its other advisers for clarity and advice when there are questions.
"The new forms really provide us with more details about what the chapters are doing," Miller said. "Just being aware of what will be going on at those events. It just opens a line of communication and makes for better standards."
The SAE house also strongly advocates the Jayhawk Buddy System, which was designed during spring 2009 by a marketing class. Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student affairs, said after Jason's death it became obvious the program needed to be implemented. "There was the impotence to get moving on it," DeSalvo said. "We needed it right now."
The program officially launched July 1, 2010, and received a $10,000 grant this month. It plans to use a portion of the money to place posters in fraternities and sororities and educate the members.
"We are encouraging students to really care for one another," DeSalvo said. "We want to help students avoid incidents in halls, or incidents to their health. We ultimately want to avoid another tragedy like Jason Wren."
Life without Jason
In November of 2009 Jay Wren and his wife Mary, filed a wrongful death suit against the fraternity's local and national organizations
the local housing corporation and several SAE members. It was settled privately in March 2011, and SAE agreed to continue hosting the Jason Wren Initiative.
The initiatives began in 2010 and are held annually in April. Each features a speaker to educate Greek members and students about the dangers of alcohol, and generally 700 to 1,000 people attend the event.
The Wren family has not been invited to the initiatives, a decision McLane said is not up to the fraternity itself, but rather the housing corporation that owns the SAE house.
Despite the tensions that still remain between the Wren's and SAE, Jay is relieved to see the changed policies, but believes students should not be able to live in the fraternity until they are 21, unless it is a dry house.
"I am glad the University made changes and that SAE did too, but I still don't get letting kids that are under 21 live with kids who legally can and do buy alcohol," lay said.
"I think about the three of them every single day," Jay said. "It's been a tough journey, and I hope and pray that Jason will save someone else's life."
Jay lost another two members of his family after Jason's death. His 16-year-old daughter and Jason's sister Vickie committed suicide in January 2010. Months later, Mary Wren also committed suicide. For Jay, life has taken on a different meaning than he ever thought it would.
Jay said after Jason's death, he received a letter from a female student who believed Jason had saved her life. The woman had been very intoxicated after a night of partying and her friends thought it would be best to let her sleep it off. Jason did not think putting her to bed would be best and decided to stay up with her and take care of her until her state improved.
Wright recalled hearing the story later from friends and said it was in Jason's nature to care for others.
"He was just a good guy," Wright said. "There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for someone.
Wright said Jason's memory is never far away, and he now thinks of him as the mayor, a nickname his father explained during his funeral.
"He was the mayor because he knew everyone." Wright said. "Everywhere he went he was smiling and shaking hands with people. There couldn't have been a better nickname for him."
The lacrosse team made shirts with Jason's number and the phrase, "acta non verba," which means deeds, not words, to commemorate Jason's spirit.
Wright, a rap performer, has written songs dedicated to Jason and performed those songs at the Granada. As he prepares for graduation, his future career and his own walk down the hill, he knows what Jason's future would have been like.
"He's the type of guy that could have done so many things and done them all really well," Wright said. "He would have been a successful guy, there is no doubt about it."

To celebrate the coming of spring and mark harvest time for farmers, Hindus hold a religious festival called Holi. The South Asian Student Association and Cultural India Club at KU co-hosted its second annual celebration of Holi on Saturday.
"We tried to bring all of this kind of celebration to campus," Tiwari said. "It's just to keep it as a culture on campus because language by itself is not enough."
Geetanjali Tiwari, a coordinator of the South Asian Studies Program of the Center for Global and International Studies, said the organization tries to keep the Indian culture alive on campus by hosting these types of cultural events.
Participants celebrate the festival by throwing colored, chalk-like powder at each other, feast on Indian cuisine and play music. The naturally colored powder, originally composed of turmeric,
"We walk around colored in school for weeks because the color doesn't come off for a while," said Shubbankar Mathur, a freshman from New Delhi, India.
rose petals, saffron, sandal paste and fruit extract, acts as a cosmetic to promote healthy skin. More recently, though, people began using chemically based powder for a longer-lasting color.
Traditional Indian food was served at the festival. Entrees included poha, a rice dish, bhel puri, a spicy trail mix snack and chokla, a cornflower-based bread dish.
"We have food everywhere when we celebrate Holi back in India, much more than the festival here, but it was nice to have the traditional food," Mathur said.
Holi is a social time for reconciliation and signifies the triumph of good over evil that relates back to Hindu mythology. Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying spring's abundant colors and saying farewell to winter.
"Saturday's celebration took me back to the times when I was young and celebrated Holi back in India.
It was nice to speak to some Indian friends here in Hindi," Mathur said.
Deep Singh, vice president of the University South Asian Student Association, said best way to spread culture is through fun activities, and Holi is one of the most fun festivals to celebrate together. Singh's face was fully colored by red, green and purple powder after the 20-minute "color battle."
"It's a fair game. Look, everyone is having such a great time and everyone is so blessed," Singh said. "Anybody can get involved in any culture and there are not really barriers."
The University's Holi celebration attracted many newcomers to the festival.
"Ive never heard of the Festival of Colors until last week when my friends were talking about it. It was fun to see a traditional festival of another culture and experience it with my friends," Emily Jones, a freshman from Lindsborg, said.

To celebrate Earth Day on Sunday, the Prairie Park Nature Center unveiled its newest addition: Harlem, a black-footed ferret. The black-footed ferret is the rarest mammal in North America and is currently on the federal endangered-species list.
Lawrence adopts rare ferret for Earth Day
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
Lawrence is a new home for a black-footed ferret named Harlem.
This may not sound surprising at first, since ferrets are a common domestic animal, but Harlem is a descendant of one of the 18 survivors of the endangered species.
Most domestic ferrets originated in Europe and Asia, but black-footed ferrets are native to North America. In the 1950's, this species was believed to be extinct, until a few were spotted in South Dakota. In 1987, there only were 18 living black-footed ferrets. From then, the ferrets were placed in captivity until 1991, when some of the ferrets were slowly released to their natural habitats. Today, there are 200 ferrets in recovery sites in Canada, the United States, and northern Mexico, and there are approximately 1,000 in North American prairies.
"Black-footed ferrets are important because they were here before we were," Dan Mulhern, a biologist with the U.S. Fishing and Wildlife Services, said. "They became endangered because of actions that people took. It's only right that the actions that people take are to bring them back."
Black-footed ferrets have become an endangered species because of the decrease in their main food source, prairie dogs. Farmers and ranchers have been poisoning prairie dogs throughout the past century. Also, their habitat is shrinking because of farming lands, towns and residences.
Part of a black-footed ferret recovery project released 24 ferrets on two ranches in western Kansas in 2007. The U.S. Fishing and Wild Life Service biologists observe the ferrets twice a year. At the end of the ferrets' first year on ranches, eight survived and 16 more were born. Since then, their population has increased to a high of 106 ferrets.
"We are excited and lucky to be one of the three captivities in Kansas that has an endangered ferret," said Marty Birrell, director of Prairie Park Nature Center. Lee Richardson Zoo and Hutchinson Zoo are the other two facilities homing black-footed ferrets.
Harlem was debuted to a crowd for the first time, on Sunday at Prairie Park Nature Center during its Earth Day program.
Harlem is 6 years old, which is middle-aged for a ferret kept in captivity. She was named after the suburb of New York City in honor of the
9-11 victims.
The Nature Center received the ferret from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center in Wellington, Colo. Harlem is retired from breeding, after giving birth to five males, who were released into the wild, and two females, who were kept by the conservation center to continue the process of repopulating.
"Once the ferrets are retired from breeding, they can't be released back into the wild," said Heather Morgan, naturalist at the Prairie Park Nature Center. "They are kept in their captive environment until they die. So this is a good opportunity for Harlem to educate people one-on-one about the species."
The Prairie Park Nature Center plans to feature Harlem in its on-site endangered species programs.
"They are part of the natural ecosystem," Mulhern said. "We don't know what role they may be playing in the environment and the ecosystem and if we start taking away parts of the complex machine we call an ecosystem, things might start to crumble that we find important to us."

A new situation, right among his family and his former high school coach, is the optimal situation.

GOOD AS GOLD
There are some things about next year's football team that we know with near certainty.
Dayne Crist will be under center. Charlie Weis will say meaningful and interesting things at press conferences, unlike his predecessor. The defense will be worse than Alabama's (and probably a few dozen more schools, too).
But we won't know about the status of sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay until May 1. If he's rightfully made eligible, the football team may not be down in the dirt for long.
After two seasons in Norman, one a redshirt year, McCay transferred to Kansas. He never played much, but it's pretty clear that his decision is based much more on being closer to family than getting more playing time.
McCay was a four-star recruit out of Bishop Miege High School, the sixth-highest ranked receiver in Rivals.com's Class of 2010. The sixth-highest ranked receiver in the Class of 2008 was Michael Floyd, who could be a top-10 pick in this year's NFL Draft. Ranked two spots higher than Floyd on the Class of 2008 list? The guy who might get to throw McCay the ball this season — Crist.
Delcaring McCay eligible would certainly be good for the football team. Crist could definitely use a 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver that can run a 4.5-40-yard-dash.
McCay had offers from Florida, Oregon and Notre Dame, to name a few. But he chose Oklahoma.
But it's also the right thing to do for the NCAA. When McCay was going into his senior year of high school, he lost his father. He went to Norman, Okla., and seemed to lose a little fire for the game. Very understandable for a kid dealing with the death of his father and other private family issues.
Weis and offensive line coach Tim Grunhard, McCay's former high school coach, also vouch for McCay as vehemently as you can vouch for somebody.
To play next season, McCay had to submit a hardship waiver to the NCAA. That waiver was denied on Friday, but the NCAA told Kansas to appeal the ruling. A smaller subcommittee may be able to skirt around some of the waiver request guidelines that the NCAA as a whole cannot.
Exhibit A: Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan wouldn't allow one of his players to transfer without ridiculous restrictions until the media bashed him. Coaches don't want to let go.
If we take the bureaucracy out of the equation, we're left with a genuine kid who Bob Stoops allowed to transfer within the conference. The issues that McCay is dealing with aren't being made public, but bigtime coaches generally don't let quality players transfer this easily.

Sophomore sprinter Diamond Dixon prepares to run the Women's 400 Meter Dash Invitational Saturday afternoon at the Kansas Relays. Dixon recorded the NCAA's the best time in the event.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
As the only collegiate athlete running in the women's 400-meter invitational with six professional athletes, sophomore Diamond Dixon finished in second place on Saturday, ahead of Olympic gold-medalist Mary Wineberg, who won the 400-meter relay in 2008. Dee Dee Trotter, who was an Olympic gold-medalist in the 400-meter relay in 2004, was the only woman who ran faster than Dixon at the Kansas Relays.
Dixon ran the race in a time of 51.80 seconds, the fastest in the NCAA this year, but Dee Dee Trotter won first place with a time of 50.94 seconds. Following the race, Dixon walked up to Trotter, "Great job" she said. "You had a great run kiddo!" Trotter responded.
Trotter said Dixon, who is just 19 years old, reminds her of herself at that age.
"She's actually better than me because at least she has a focus on what she's doing." Trotter said after the race. "I wish I had that same focus that she has."
"She has a lot of determination when it comes to not being scared, getting out here and competing with the big dogs, the professionals, and she has taken it very seriously." Trotter said.
Dixon said that running with some of the world's fastest 400-meter runners on Saturday at the Kansas Relays gave her an idea of what future competitions will be like. As far as actually beating some of those professional athletes, Diamond was very respectful and actually quite surprised.
"I'm kind of speechless about it. I didn't think I would beat Miss Wineberg." Dixon said.
Dixon had some difficult stretches early in her life. Dixon's
mother was about 16 years old when she was born, too young to raise a child, so she lived with her aunt. After Dixon's mother left home, she did not see her again for nine years. Dixon's aunt stepped up and raised her as her own daughter.
Diamond began running track when she was nine years old to motivate herself to improve her grades. Dixon said she has dreamed about making the Olympics from the time she found out she was good at running track.
"It would mean everything because I've worked so hard," Dixon said of fulfilling her goal to compete at the Olympics. "Just the fact that I took myself out of a situation that could have been really bad and bettered myself and stayed strong and the fact that I am doing something that could take me to a big event like that would just be amazing."
With the time she ran on Saturday at the Kansas Relays, Diamond Dixon is currently ranked ninth in the world.
It does not surprise Trotter that Dixon runs as fast as she does as a sophomore in college; success at a young age is something that Trotter is very familiar with. She is the University of Tennessee 400-meter record holder with a time of 50 seconds. Trotter made her first Olympic team during her junior year of college, and she says Dixon is on the right path to accomplish.
"She's on the road to greatness." Trotter said of Diamond. "My advice to her is to continue doing what she's doing, stay focused, keep competing, and keep coming up against any contender that wants to step on the track with her and keep giving it her best."

Kansas closes series with two victories against Iowa

ALEC TILSON

Freshman catcher Lexi Bryant catches during Sunday afternoon's game against Iowa State. The Jaihawks won their series after defeating Iowa State 8-0.
The Kansas softball team brushed off a disappointing loss Saturday and defeated Iowa State 8-0 in five innings on Sunday, taking two of three games in the series and notching two important conference victories.
Kansas (28-16, 5-13) blew a six run lead in a 10-9 loss in game two of the weekend, a defeat that coach Megan Smith called "unacceptable," but Kansas' offense poured on 25 runs in the series and helped Kansas move to five victories in Big 12 play.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
Saturday's loss left the series tied at one game apiece and Kansas feeling as if it had given a game away, but Smith was pleased with the way the team responded Sunday.
"It's tough to sweep anyone in conference, especially a team that hits like Iowa State hits," Smith said. "We needed to win the series and the girls bounced back today and had a dominant performance."
Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille needed just 58 pitches to record the win, throwing a one-hit shutout, walking none and striking out three.
Pille's (15-9) second one-hitter of the season came a day after the Kansas pitching staff surrendered nine earned runs and could not take advantage of a six-run cushion.
It was another freshman, first baseman Maddie Stein, who shouldered a good portion of Kansas' offensive output on the weekend.
"I think it was more my attitude today than anything that was helping." Pille said. "We knew we could play this team hard. We were focusing on that and I think that attitude made a difference today."
"I think we had that chip on our shoulder and that fire underneath us," Stein said of Sunday's victory after the Saturday loss. "We know that we should never have lost that game and we were never expected to lose that game, so I think we might have been maybe ever a little embarrassed."
Stein went 7-for-12 with five runs and seven RBIs in the series. She connected on her first two collegiate home runs on Saturday and added a third on Sunday.
Junior outfielder Maggie Hull did her part as well and continued to swing the hottest bat on the team.
Hull added eight hits to her conference-leading total now at 61 and is batting .424 this season. She currently owns a 12-game hitting streak and has multiple hits in seven straight games.
On Friday, Kansas battled Iowa State to a 1-1 tie through five
innings in what appeared would be a close finish.
Kansas loaded the bases with one out in the sixth inning after taking a 2-1 lead on freshman catcher Lexi Bryant's home run.
After a substitution error occurred — a ruling that erased an Iowa State inning-ending double play — Stein received a second chance at the plate with
Stein knocked in Kansas' third run and continued what would become a seven-run inning and the difference in the 8-2 victory for Kansas.
The five conference victories come a year after Kansas won just one Big 12 game and figure to help in the team's goal of reaching NCAA postseason play.
Smith said winning the series after Saturday's loss shows a degree of toughness the team has been building all year.
"They're fighters," Smith said. "You can never count them out and when you think you've got them down, you don't."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"But sometimes when you bring the thunder, you get lost in the storm."
— Kenny Powers,
"Eastbound and Down"
FACT OF THE DAY
The show is named after the song "Eastbound and Down," by Jerry Reed. The show's creators initially weren't sure if they could keep this as the title without getting sued.
imbd.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. How old was Kenny Powers when he "changed the face of professional baseball?"
A:19
— "Eastbound and Down"
THE MORNING BREW 'Eastbound and Down' ends absurdly
I wanted to hate the series finale of "Eastbound and Down." I wanted to say it was a cop-out way to end the three-year watch party of Kenny Powers' baseball's vulgar, drug taking, racist, sexist pitcher — life. But when it was all over, I could do nothing but smile at the way Powers' career came to a close.
Last Saturday, the final episode of "Eastbound and Down" aired on HBO, just as creators Ben Best, Danny McBride and Jody Hill had planned three years ago when the television series started. The show was full of comedy with tragedy mixed in, and came to a conclusion that was fittingly unexpected. So if you haven't seen the show, or the final episode, and plan to, proceed with caution — something Powers never did.
Yes, Kenny Powers was the ultimate hyperbole of what a closer in baseball is: A foul-mouthed adrenaline junkie who loves the spotlight, and the bigger and brighter the light, the better.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
And that's how "Eastbound and Down"
and Kenny Powers' life ended — in the most theatrical, ridiculous way possible.
All three seasons of the show built up to this final episode, with Powers finally retaking his throne, the pitcher's mound in the major leagues. It was the second chance that he had been searching for. It was his dream. Or so we thought.
So after a stunningly foul-mouthed prayer between Powers and guest star Matthew McConaughey, Powers walks onto the field and soaks it all in. The man had come a long way since his world series victory in episode one, and this time,
he knew how special the moment was.
So Powers' first pitch was, as expected, a blazing fastball for a strike. And the second was the same. There he was, one strike away from completing the redemption story, just as we had all been waiting on since the show began. And then he dropped the ball. Just as he had done for three hilarious years, Powers acted for himself, and ran off the field. One strike shy of his comeback. One strike shy of everything we expected.
He was going back to his girlfriend April and son Toby, so Powers drove though the night, chugging beer and yelling that he was in a Cameron Crowe movie, as he finally figured out what he had been searching for throughout the whole show — a family.
That's when his car drove off a cliff and subsequently exploded. We are led to believe Kenny Powers is dead, and we see his companions and enemies react to Powers' death.
KU
had been. And of course, it was about to
get a little bit weirder.
Powers showed up at April's front door aline, and his hair has been bleached blonde. He tells his girlfriend that he left it all and faked his own death to be with her, and that April and his son Toby moving to Texas just wasn't possible.
Powers had to go out in the most truly absurd, yet oddly touching way he could. Quitting baseball and faking his own death to be with his family concluded the last three seasons of "Eastbound and Down" in 30 sidesplitting minutes — stunning, stupid and great.

Texas bullpen shuts down early-inning hitting streak
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
With a series victory on the line Sunday afternoon, the Texas bullpen shut down the Jayhawks' upset bid.
The Kansas baseball team (16-25, 4-11 Big 12) dropped its secondstraight game to No. 23 Texas on Sunday, falling 7-2 in Austin.
After defeating Texas 7-2 in Friday's series opener, the Jayhawk offense went quiet for the remainder of the weekend. The season-high four-game winning streak came to an end Saturday evening in a 3-0 loss at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
Kansas jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first inning against Texas pitcher Dillon Peters, but Peters' day was short-lived. A lead-off walk to freshman outfielder Dakota Smith in the second inning prompted Augie Garrido, college baseball's winningest head coach, to turn to pitcher John Curtiss out of the bullpen – a move that would pay off.
"We thought their bullpen was better than their starting pitching, so our goal was to get a few runs on the board early," sophomore outfielder Tucker Therp said. "Their bullpen was just really deep and
pitched well all weekend."
While Peters gave up two hits to Kansas in the first inning, the Texas bullpen trio of Curtiss, Hoby Milner and Corey Knebel allowed just two hits in the final eight innings.
Sunday was the fifth time in the last six games that Kansas scored in the first inning, Kansas' first inning success has been largely in part to Tharp's move into the leadoff spot. Since stepping into the role on April 6, Tharp has gotten a hit in all but three games, hitting over .360 in April. Although Kansas was able jump ahead first, the early pitching change forced the Jayhawks to change their offensive approach.
"He's got a power arm," coach Ritch Price said of Curtiss. "He was pitching it 90-93 [mph], and he was able to throw enough breaking balls in there for strikes to keep us off balanced."
able to get the first out, and then all of the sudden, he walks a batter and gives up a couple base hits. He set the table for Texas to put up a crooked number. It comes down to that he got out of sync and out of rhythm."
For the first four innings, junior pitcher Thomas Taylor made the 2-0 advantage appear like more than enough to defeat Texas. Taylor cruised into the fifth inning without surrendering a hit, but when Taylor lost control of his pitches in the fifth, Texas made him pay.
Taylor went 4.2 innings but allowed four runs in the fifth innion on three hits, walking a seasonhigh five batters. The loss drops Taylor to 4-5 on the season with a 4.08 ERA.
"He really just lost command of his fastball." Price said. "He was
With nine conference games remaining in the season, Kansas currently sits at seventh place in the Big 12 standings. The top-eight teams in conference play qualify for the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City.
The Jayhawks return to Lawrence with a losing record, but Price is already impressed with the team's improvement in Big 12 play.
"I was pleased with the way we competed, and I was pleased with the way that we played." Price said. "Overall, we are significantly better than we were when we played Baylor five weeks ago."

Soccer team wins spring season, trains for summer
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The Kansas soccer team capped off their spring season with a 1-0 win over Missouri State at Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Notching a 4-1-1 record in March and April showed that Kansas made a few important strides to put together a successful schedule.
"Overall the spring has been very good," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We've made a lot of progress. The intensity has been really good so we've been happy with that."
For the Jayhawks on Sunday, the most important aspect was working on more chances around the goal. The team had plenty of chances, but only put one shot in the back of the net.
Francis said the team moved the ball around really well, but had a few breakdowns in the final 25 yards of the soccer field.
Despite the struggles on goal, sophomore forward Caroline Kastor still netted the needed goal with 22 minutes remaining in the first half. Kastor weaved through a few defenders and then chipped the ball over the Missouri goaltender.
For the spring, Kastor has shown an explosive step that has placed her as one of the necessary strikers for the team going into the fall season.
"Caroline's had an unbelievable spring," Francis said. "Just from a confidence standpoint and how she impacted the game, she's a threat with her pace. She's making dangerous runs, she works really hard defensively, she's kind of done it all."
Along with Kastor the Jayhawks will rely on junior Whitney Berry and freshman Ingrid Vidal to make a major impact for the attacking players.
Another improvement for the Jayhawks has been the development of the defensive unit. Last year the defense was the primary concern, but the past few months, the unit improved its coordination and experience.
"We're not there yet, but we're getting there," Francis said.
Francis said that he was pleased with pressure they put on Missouri State and the defense made them play much quicker on the ball.
The Jayhaws already have a solid core group, but they will also add a few players.
Former Ohio State NSCAA All-American Cassie Dickerson will be at the top of list of people to make the squad more competitive.
Dickerson, a first-year law student at Kansas, still has one year of eligibility after playing three years at Ohio State. She graduated from Ohio in 2010.
Now with the spring season wrapped up, the women focus on keeping this intensity throughout the summer so the team can make some noise in the fall when the games count toward their march to the NCAA Tournament.
"I think where we're at right now is a good place to start going into August," Francis said. "This is where we want to be beginning and look to get better."
The Jayhawks move into the summer months where conditioning and training is up to the players until the coaches can have contact again in early August.
"We're looking forward to it, now they've got to do it in the summer," Francis said.

Third straight win for senior

MAX GOODWIN
After falling short of victory in her own 1500-meter race, Rebeka Stowe stood at the edge of the track Saturday to watch the men's competition.
She watched as senior Donny Wasinger achieved what she had hoped to by winning his third straight 1500-meter race at the Kansas Relays.
Stowe, also a senior, set a personal record Saturday in 1500-meter, with a time of 4:22.50 minutes. But she didn't win the race. She was passed on the final stretch by Amanda Dunne, a former Missouri Tiger and current professional runner. A victory for Stowe would have made three consecutive titles.
"I've been a little off this last week, so to get that P.R. [personal record], that's exciting for me as well," Stowe said. "You win some, you lose some."
With just one meet left before the Big 12 Championships in Manhattan, Stowe's goal is to continue setting personal records. She has set Olympic trial standards but not yet the actual Olympic standards, which would allow her to focus on finishing in the top three at trials and not have to deal with the pressure of running a standard time.
Stowe said she enjoys running the 1500-meter because it is a faster-paced race than the 3000-meter steeplechase that she usually runs,
but not quite as fast as the 800-meter that she also has run.
"Ultimately this race isn't the end-all be-all." Stowe said. "We've got a lot of meets left to go and it's just another step in the process of building into the season."
Wasinger ran his fastest race of the year, recording a time of 3:47.76 minutes. But he was hoping to run faster. He took the lead early and for the rest of the race ran by himself ahead of the pack.
It can be a challenge to run by yourself like that, Wasinger said. Following his victory in the 1500-meter, in his final Kansas Relays as a Jayhawks, Wasinger reflected on the event's tradition at Kansas.
"The 1500 has been a strong Kansas event ever since KU has been around, you know," Wasinger said. He talked about runners from the Kansas Hall of Fame, — such as Jim Ryun, Wes Santee and Glen Cunningham — names he also saw on the Track and Field Hall of Fame at Armory, New York. If he could run as fast as those runners, Wasinger said, it would be an honor. And that is his goal.
KU men and women win the final races
Wasinger accepted his third Kansas Relays 1500-meter trophy at the Champion's podium after the race.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
"It's been a great four years," Wasinger said. "The coaches, and the support system, and the fans have given me great memories. It's made me a better athlete, a better person, and I'll always remember KU."
The 4x400-meter relay races brought the 85th Kansas Relays to a close Saturday in a very fitting way. The Kansas teams won both men's and women's races, and the women's group, which competed in the NCAA indoor championships for the 4x400-meter relay, even set a meet record at 3:31.87 minutes.
"I saw the time so I was pushing for it," sophomore Diamond Dixon said of the meet record time after running the final leg of the relay.
"We actually weren't focused on the meet record; we were trying to break our time from yesterday"; junior Paris Daniels said. "We all came out and competed well and I'm happy."

surrounded by his three teammates.
"The sky's the limit now, because they're only freshmen."
In the prelimbs on Friday, the four women ran a time 3:39.34 minutes, which they improved upon by 7.5 seconds in Saturday's finals. This was really the first meet for the team that consisted of senior Shayla Wilson, juniors Danesha Morris and Paris Daniels, and sophomore Diamond
"It's crazy because I know it's only going to be better." Clemons said,
Morris said the time was much lower than the team expected coming into the finals. Now that they have seen what they are capable of, the women exp ect to continue to lower their time. This team appears capable of once again competing for the NCAA championship at nationals after running what as the sixth fastest time in Division 1.
The men's 4x400-meter relay race began next with freshman Michael Stigler in the blocks for Kansas, looking to build momentum from the women's win. The team gained the lead several times early but struggled to maintain it, with the three freshmen Stigler, Michael Hester and Kenneth McCuin. McCuin pulled into the lead before handing the baton to junior Kyle Clemmons who ran to the finish for the lajhwakes.
Dixon, running together.
"This is our first real 4x4 for the outdoor season, and our first time running 3:31." Danesha Morris said. "That's just awesome. That means we're ready for big things."
The win on Saturday came with a time of 3:08.67 minutes, which was their fastest of the season. It was an improvement of almost five seconds from their time of 3:13.66 minutes, which sophomore Dominique Manley ran as a replacement for Clemmons.
The men's team is focused on racing at nationals this season, and they think they have an idea of what it will take for the team to reach that level.
It may be too soon to ask the question, but after the performances by both men's and women's 4x400-meter relay teams, one must wonder if both teams could compete for an NCAA national title this year.
"To get into nationals, probably low 3:05, but we're trying to take it meet by meet." Clemmons said. He is excited about the potential of such a young relay group.

Junior wins long jump, sets personal best 100m
Her specialty is the triple jump, in which she holds the NCAA indoor national champion title, but Geubelle also finished eighth in the long jump at indoor nationals. Her 6.5-meter jump on Saturday is the second-ranked long jump in the Big 12 conference this year.
Geubelle was consistent in her long jumps at the Kansas Relays. She did not have a single foul in the competition and her fourth and the worst of her six jumps, still would have tied for the lead in the competition. Instead Geubelle left no doubt
Junior Andrea Geubelle ran her fastest time ever at 11.72 seconds in the preliminaries of the women's 100-meter dash on Friday. She said she has not run a time below 11.8 seconds since high school.

Geubelle's speed also launched her to a victory in the women's long jump competition on Saturday with a jump of 6.5 meters.

"I was just focused on having a good time here." Keys said. "There's only so much you can do, and focusing on mechanics can really mess you up, so I just decided to do what I do in practice and come out here and
do the same thing."
Keys ran the fastest high school 200-meter time in the state of Kansas in 2011 before coming to the University. The preliminary time of 24.10 seconds that she ran on Friday to put herself in the finals was the fastest women's 200-meter time to the Relays as well as her own personal record.

The Kansas men also saw success over the weekend with the relay team, recording a victory in the 4x1 mile relay. The relay group consisted of senior Austin Bussing running the first leg and handing off to sophomore James Wilson, freshman Reid Buchannan on the third leg, and senior Zach Zarda on the fourth and final leg. They finished the race with a time of 17:17.16 minutes, though Austin Bussing said
time was a secondary concern for the team.
Bussing is running in his final Kansas Relays as a Jayhawk and said it feels great to get a win in the event in front of a good home crowd.
"It was just about getting out there and competing." Bussing said.
"You get a good sense of the Kansas track tradition that we have here when you come to the relays," Bussing said. "It's always a great experience."
South Dakota ran the relay in 17:36.78 seconds, for second place. Fort Hays State finished third.

Kansas faces long odds in Big 12 tourney
CORBIN MIHELIC
cmihelic@kansan.com
After a promising 7-0 start to the season, the Kansas women's tennis team finished conference dual play winless.
The Jayhawks finished 0-9 against Big 12 teams in 2012, after their most recent loss in the season finale to Kansas State, 6-1, Saturday in Manhattan.
"Any loss is tough regardless of who it is," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We want to beat everybody possible and that's the way we go in. We don't try to have added pressure because it's Missouri or K-State or anything."
Kansas dropped all three doubles matches with the same score, 8-5. One of the losses was to the Wildcat duo of Petra Niedermayerova and Karla Bonacic. Junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Dylan Windom's 8-5 loss to the nation's No. 78-ranked doubles team was their fourth in conference play.
The lone Jayhawk who earned a singles victory on Saturday was freshman Maria Belen Ludueña. Ludueña, a native of Curico, Chile, defeated Kansas State's Ana Gomez Aleman, 6-2 and 6-3.
Sophomore Paulina Los had the most competitive loss for
Kansas at No. 2 singles, a 6-1, 3-6 defeat at the hands of Bonacic, the nation's No. 101-ranked singles player. Niedermayerova is also ranked No. 27 in singles for Kansas State.
"We think about it a lot because we want to win and sometimes I feel like it just stops us," Los said.
"We really want to win and we try really hard, but sometimes it just doesn't work. I think we just need to relax and try our best."
Kansas, which ended its regular season on Saturday, will now travel to College Station, Texas for the Big 12 Championships. Play for that event is scheduled to run from April 26 to 29, but the tournament format is single-elimination.
The last time the Jayhawks won a match at the Big 12 Championships was in 2008, when they defeated Iowa State before being blanked by Colorado in the second round.
"After the season is over, we need to get more confidence in the team," Pezzotti said. "We need to build our confidence and work on it."

Texas Rangers win in extra innings against Detroit Tigers
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Rangers — Alberto Gonzalez squared to bunt, hoping to drive in the go-ahead run on a squeeze play. The ball hit his bat and glanced off his right leg before bouncing off the ground and out toward the pitcher.
Then the Texas Rangers caught a break.
"As soon as he hit the ball and saw the ball was fair, he didn't stop himself," Gonzalez's translator said. "He was trying to go to first base. He knew the job was done."
Instead of being called a foul ball, Gonzalez's bunt went for an RBI infield single in the 11th inning, lifting the Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Gonzalez admitted after the game the ball hit him around the knee — and a replay confirmed that — but the play stood.
it. That's part of the game.
The bases were loaded with nobody out when Gonzalez bunted. Right-hander Thad Weber (0-1), who was making his major league debut, had no play at the plate on runner Nelson Cruz. Weber froze with the ball, and first baseman Miguel Cabrera struggled to get back to the bag in time. Everybody was safe, and Texas took the lead.
Detroit manager Jim Leyland came out to argue, but to no avail.
Plate umpire Tim Welke had a chance to watch the replay afterward and said the ball did in fact hit Gonzalez, but his crew hadn't seen that initially.
"I saw just what it did: The ball came down and hit him on the back knee. Clearly. Clearly. That's not even a question," Leyland said. "The ball clearly hit him, and four guys happened to miss
"We did not see the ball hit anybody on the field," Welke said. "We called what we saw."
Gonzalez appeared to be in the batter's box still when the ball hit him, meaning it would have almost certainly been ruled a foul ball if an umpire had seen the contact.
Robbie Ross (3-0) pitched a scoreless 10th for Texas, and Joe Nathan finished for his fourth save.
Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers.
The Tigers led 2-1 in the eighth — with rookie starter Drew Smlyh in line for his first career win. But Texas tied it when Elvis Andrus
drew a walk, went to second on a wild pitch and took third when catcher Alex Avila's throw to second went into the outfield for an error.
Hamilton hit a sacrifice fly to even the score.
Weber, who was called up from the minors in between games of Saturday's doubleheader, made his major league debut in the 11th. He walked Cruz and allowed singles to Mike Napoli and Yorvit Torrealba, setting up Gonzalez's at-bat with the bases loaded.
"Bases loaded, nobody out and the right person in the batter's box. The guy who was in the batter's box is one of the guys I do my fundamental stuff with," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "I had warned him that if this situation came up, look for the squeeze on the first pitch."
Weber then got out of the inning without any further damage by getting pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland to hit into a double play and Ian Kinsler to ground out.
Smyly pitched six innings, allowing a run and five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts, but he had to settle for his third straight no-decision. He's allowed only two earned runs in 16 innings on the season.
Texas starter Colby Lewis allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings.
Hamilton gave Texas a 1-0 lead in the first with his seventh homer of the year, and Michael Young followed with a single to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. But Smily settled in nicely after that.
Detroit tied it in the third when Ramon Santiago hit a leadoff triple and eventually scored on a two-out wild pitch.
In the sixth, Hamilton hit a single and went to second on a groundout. He then took third when — after one of Smyly's
pitches — catcher Alex Avila's throw went over the southpaw for an error.
Smyly recovered, striking out Cruz and retiring Napoli on a flyball to end the threat.
Brennan Boesch hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the sixth, but Detroit couldn't hold on.

Royals, in free fall, drop third to Blue Jays
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With the Kansas City Royals mired in a 10-game loss streak, personnel changes could be on the horizon.
Ricky Romero won his third straight start, Brett Lawrie stole home and drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Kansas City 5-3 Sunday, sending the Royals to their 10th straight loss.
The Royals have only six skids longer than 10 in franchise history. It is their longest losing streak since dropping 12 consecutive May 19-30, 2008. As the losses mount up — nine of them at Kauffman Stadium on this opening 10-game homestand — manager Ned Yost said changes may be necessary.
"We're close to getting to the point of needing to make some changes," Yost acknowledged. "If we need to make some moves, we will, but we can't continue with this."
The Royals have scored three
or less runs in five of their past six games and rank next-to-last in the American League with 56 runs. The starting pitchers have thrown a total of 18 innings in the past four games, none lasting more than five innings.
The Blue lays scored four runs in the fifth to chase Royals left-hander Danny Duffy, Lawrie's two-out single to right scored Yunel Escobar and Jose Bautista. Rajal Davis led off the inning with a double and scored on Escobar's single. Bautista, who walked three times, singled home J.P. Arencibia with the other run.
Duffy labored through 4 2-3 innings, throwing 113 pitches and walking five. He did not give up a hit until Ben Francisco singled with two outs in the fourth, but yielded four hits and two walks in the fifth while retiring only two.
The Royals cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning, which Jeff Francoeur and Mike Moustakas started with singles. Francoeur scored on an Alcides Escobar fielder's
choice grounder, while Moustakas scored on Yunel Escobar's throwing error.
"We ran a double steal in the eighth inning, which turned out to be a pretty big run." Farrell said.
The Blue Jays added a run in the eighth, when Lawrie, who had walked and went to third on Arencibia's single, pulled off a double steal. Arencibia broke for second and catcher Humberto Quintero fired to second baseman Yuniesky Betancourt. Lawrie broke for home and beat Betancourt's throw to the plate.

"This is not even a hole," Royals designated hitter Billy Butler said. "We finished 32 games under .500 (in 2009) That's a hole."
The Royals, who have had one winning season since 1994, again find themselves in a deep hole to start this season.
Moustakas singled home Betancourt for a 19th inning run, but pinch-hitter Brayan Pena grounded into a game-ending double play.

Lawrence might be far from any foreign country, but that can't stop students from experiencing foreign cultures this week.
Countries and cultures from all over the world will be represented this week as part of International Awareness Week (IAW), which was organized by the International Student Association, a student group with members from more than 50 different countries.
"We really do want to get the international community involved and allow them to show off their culture and be proud of their heritage, but this time around we're really trying to target the domestic community," Murphy said.
Amanda Murphy, president of the International Student Association and a junior from Overland Park, said that the events throughout the week provide an opportunity for students from all countries to come together.
Murphy said that she has lived in Kansas her whole life and was drawn to the organization because she wanted to learn more about her mother's Indian culture as well as other cultures around the word. International Awareness Week provides students with the same opportunity to connect with international students.

The Chancellor shares a glimpse of her experiences
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little acknowledges that limits are decided by the students. "You can go as far as you want to," she said. "And there's someone here who can help you with that."
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Not long after Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little wakes up in the morning, she might have a meeting in a room full of pointed representatives from the NCAA. Or an on-site visit to the University of Kansas Medical Center. Or a discussion of novel curriculum with other university presidents over a plate of eggs. Or she might have to make a statement about an honorable dean who took a job elsewhere simply because he or she was looking for another opportunity. All this before lunch.
"The papers always want a statement about everything," Gray-Little said.
Representing the University and its short- and long-term goals can be a day-to-day grind. Gray-Little said that she doesn't turn agendas into worries; she just keeps plugging away until she is satisfied with the shape of her day. A challenge, she said, is continuing full immersion in daily activities while keeping the future in mind.
With all the responsibilities press conferences and releases, office work and traveling — there's one base that Gray-Little aims to constantly consider: the students. She regularly meets with the student body president and vice president. She often attends on-campus speeches, events and receptions that are flush with students. She has even arranged meetings and meals just to be closer to students.
"One of the things about the University that continues to be attractive to me is how much the students and alumni care about it," Gray-Little said.
This persistent attraction stays with Gray-Little and guides her wherever she goes.
She recently visited Washington D.C. to diagram the future of academia with other educators from across the country. Less glamorous, but equally important to her, Gray-Little also stopped by Pratt, Hays, Garden City and Salina for various reasons like award ceremonies and speaking with alumni, politicians and journalists.
"I try to make sure that I have opportunities to be in touch with communities around the state
where our students come from or where our graduates go and live," Gray-Little said.
Whether she is relaxing downtown, strolling on Jayhawk Boulevard or cheering for the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse, Gray-Little is often trying to find new ways to encourage casual dialogue with
students.
"Just informally, I'll see students and they'll say, 'Are you the chancellor?' And strike up a conversation like that," Gray-Little said.
Be it a public statement, a written plan or a one-on-one talk with a high school junior mulling options for the future, Gray-Little
said she sticks to one theme:
"What can I say to this student to let him or her know that is the kind of place that would be a good place for them to be?"

Fambrough was known for his effect on players, love of the University and dislike of rival Missouri.
Two streets named for former football coach
Coaching the Jayhawks from 1971 to 1974 and 1979 to 1982. Fambrough passed away this past September at the age of 88.
Two stretches of Lawrence streets will be renamed after former KU football coach and player Don Fambrough, the University announced Monday in a press release. 11th Street between Mississippi and Missouri streets will soon be known as Fambrough Drive, and the stretch of Maine Street behind Memorial Stadium's press box will be called Fambrough Way.
The official renaming ceremony will be held Saturday April 28 at 11:15 am at the intersection of 11th and Maine.
"Don Fambrough was an icon — not just on the KU campus, but across the state of Kansas," said Kansas Director of Athletics Sheaon Zenger in the press release.

Romney targets young voters, discusses loans and immigrants
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASTON, Pa. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday embraced a student loan proposal that President Barack Obama is selling on the campaign trail and refused to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio's conservative immigration plan aimed at helping young illegal immigrants.
The two policy positions signaled an effort by Romney to move to the political center as he works to court critical general election swing voters — including young voters and Hispanic voters — after a brutal primary fight.
"I think young voters in this country have to vote for me if they're really thinking of what's in the best interest of the country and
what's in their personal best interest," Romney said as he stood next to Rubio, R-Fla., and answered reporters' questions for the first time since effectively securing the GOP presidential nomination.
Romney refused to embrace a Rubio proposal that would allow young illegal immigrants to remain in the United States to work or study. He did say there were provisions to "commend" it and that his campaign would
House Republicans oppose legislation to temporarily extend lowinterest rates for student loans. Obama has been pushing Congress for the extension and planned a three-state tour this week to warn students of the potential financial catastrophe they will face if Congress fails to act.
"study the issue.
Romney said that all illegal immigrants should return to their home country and get in line to be eligible for U.S. citizenship. Rubio's still-evolving bill would allow illegal immigrants who graduated from high school and have no criminal record to obtain a nonimmigrant visa. They could stay in the United States, obtain a driver's license and work or continued their studies but would have no special path to citizenship.
Romney's answers illustrate the careful line he has to walk as he transitions from the primary to the general election, where he'll have to tussle with Obama for support from the Hispanic, female and young voters who propelled Obama to victory in 2008.

Parties form alliance for fall election
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's two biggest pro-Western opposition parties announced Monday they will be joining forces in the fall parliamentary election in order to challenge President Viktor Yanukovych's grip on power.
The parties led by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and former parliament speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk said they will work together to reverse the democratic rollback that took place since Yanukovych came to power two years ago.
The alliance marks an attempt to break with years of infighting within the pro-Western camp that allowed the pro-Russia Yanukovych, whose fraud-tainted election victory was annulled in the 2004 Orange Revolution street protests, to make
a comeback in the 2010 presidential election.
"We will form a democratic majority in the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), will limit Yanukovych's unlimited power and return the power to the Ukrainian people," Tymoshenko, 51, and Yatsenyuk, 37, who both ran against Yanukovych on a pro-Western platform, said in a joint statement. "There is no time to lose, it's time to fight and win together!"
Experts and opposition activists hailed the union with cautious optimism, saying it was high time that opposition leaders sacrificed their personal ambitions and united. But they noted that the union was fragile and did not include two other key opposition parties.

North Korea threatens military action
PYONGYANG. North Korea
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea's military warned people on Monday of imminent "special actions" that would reduce South Korea's conservative government to ashes within minutes, sharply escalating the rhetoric against its southern rival.
The threat from the North's military leadership comes amid concerns that North Korea may be plotting another provocation in the wake of an unsuccessful rocket launch condemned by the U.N. Security Council as a violation of a ban against missile activity.
North Korea characterized the April 13 rocket launch as a failed bid to send a satellite into space — not a disguised test of missile technology
but then followed up two days later by unveiling a new long-range missile at a military birthday parade for late President Kim Il Sung.
There are new concerns that North Korea may conduct a nuclear test as it did after rocket launches in 2006 and 2009. South Korean intelligence officials say recent satellite images show the North has been digging a new tunnel in what could be preparation for a third atomic test.
"Nuclear weapons are not the monopoly of the United States," Lt. Col. Nam Dong Ho said on Monday on the North Korean side of the Demilitarized Zone, saying North Korea needs atomic weapons to defend itself against the threat of attack from the U.S.

Two killed and nine injured in Sudanese bomb attack on South Sudan market
RUBKONA, South Sudan — Sudanese warplanes bombed a market and an oil field in South Sudan on Monday, killing at least two people after Sudanese ground forces had reportedly crossed into South Sudan with tanks and artillery, elevating the risk of all-out war between the two old enemies.
The international community urged Sudan and South Sudan to talk out their disputes, which include arguments over where the border lies and over ownership of oil resources.
But Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir vowed Monday to press ahead with his military campaign until all southern troops or affiliated forces are chased out of the north.
The bombs fell from two MiG 29 jets onto Rubkona's market, turning stalls where food and other household items are sold into fiery heaps of twisted metal.
South Sudan military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said two were killed in that attack and nine wounded.

Egyptian authorities deny permit for election-monitoring, American nonprofit
CAIRO — Egyptian authorities have denied permission to eight American nonprofit groups to operate locally, including a center headed by former President Jimmy Carter that monitors elections, a ministry official said Monday.
The move to deny permission to The Carter Center and others comes only a month ahead of Egypt's first presidential elections since the ouster of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak last year. The rejection of Carter's organization, which tries to ensure free
and fair elections by observing votes around the world, raises doubts about whether Egypt's crucial ballot will be transparent.
The licenses were denied because the groups' activities "breach the country's sovereignty," the Social Affairs Ministry official said. He also warned that if any of the groups attempt to operate without permits they will be penalized in accordance with the law, which makes it unlikely that The Carter Center would be allowed to observe the upcoming vote.
Egypt's military rulers allowed The Carter Center to have 40 people observe the multistage parliamentary elections that ran November to February. The government also allowed local groups to observe the elections, and had judges monitoring in polling stations throughout the country.
The Carter Center said the vote was generally fair.
Military rulers have come under criticism for going after rights groups and civil society organizations in recent months, specifically ones with
American ties.
A recent investigation into alleged violations by U.S. democracy groups operating in Egypt led to the worst diplomatic row between Cairo and Washington in decades. American employees were accused of using illegally obtained funds to promote activities that undermined stability.
The diplomatic row eventually cooled when they were allowed to leave Egypt after intense U.S. efforts and pressure. But the case against the NGOs is ongoing.
STATE
Redistricting arguments may delay Kansas primary election
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach publicly warned legislators Monday that a potential constitutional crisis is brewing because the state's political boundaries haven't been adjusted yet, but he was wary of a proposal to postpone the state's primary election.
Kobach, a Republican and Kansas' chief elections official, said he worries that some members of the GOP-controlled Legislature believe that the Kansas Supreme Court can redraw legislative districts if lawmakers fail to do so.
But the Kansas Constitution says only that the high court reviews proposals approved by legislators and determines whether they are valid or whether lawmakers must
try again.
A bitter split among conservative and moderate Republicans has prevented the Senate from approving legislation that redraws members' districts. The House has approved a bipartisan plan for adjusting state representatives' 'districts', but it has stalled in the Senate. Both chambers have approved a congressional redistricting plan and killed the other chamber's proposal.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt, also a Republican, already has warned legislators and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback that the state may have to delay its primary election if redistricting issues aren't resolved quickly. He said the state also may face legal costs if residents sue because there's no agreement on new congressional districts.
Legislators return Wednesday from their annual spring break, and the session wrap-up could last until mid-May. But Kobach said problems will arise if new district boundaries aren't approved by May 10, which is why he held a news conference — to "sound the alarm bell."
"The clock is ticking, and they have to act quickly when they come back into session," he said. "This is a real potential for crisis here."
Legislators must redraw their districts and the state's four congressional districts to account for shifts in population over the past decade.
Kansas law says that if they don't complete redistricting by May 10, the candidate filing deadline will be postponed from June 1 to June 11.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Critics concerned over new Edgar Allen Poe movie
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
ORLANDO, Fla. — John Cusack has heard the sniping. He's Internet savvy, a big-time Twitter user. So he knew Edgar Allan Poe fanatics were complaining about the movie he was making about the writer. He knows the early reviews of "The Raven," in which he plays the poet/ thriller writer as a haunted man on the trail of a serial killer, haven't been kind.
"Poe probably deserved better than this movie which turns his heritage into a sub 'Se7en'-style serial killer thriller," sniffed Britain's Birmingham Post. But Cusack isn't taking that lying down.
"Somebody I've read said, 'Oh, he wasn't some heroic man of action.' And I go, 'Oh really? He went to West Point. He was kicked out, but he was there. He got in. And he was a swimmer. It's not a stretch to think of him trying to solve a mystery, a series of crimes. He had an analytical, mathematical mind. You can see that in the writing. He called it 'rationation.' But basically, he invented forensics in his fiction."
started. An actor fond of finding the dark side in light characters and bringing lightness to the dark ones, Cusack found Poe to be right up his alley. At 45, Cusack has lived his movie-making life by making more interesting choices than commercial ones. He's just hoping filmgoers get into Poe the way he got into the author of "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Raven" and "The Cask of Amontillado" — the 19th century author who popularized the short story, invented the thriller, detective fiction and, some say, science fiction. "The Raven," directed by James McTeague ("V For Vendetta"), re-imagines Poe's last days and the mystery surrounding his death.
And Cusack is just getting
"I loved the conceit, here," Cusack says. "Poe getting caught up in one of his stories, trapped by a fan who is mimicking the murders in his work.
"He wrote about gruesome crimes ... And he wrote about people going mad, as in 'The Tell-Tale Heart.'" The movie acknowledges Poe's mental state, but makes note of his scathing wit and wicked wordplay.
Turns out those guys on "The Client List" aren't the only ones looking to get busy on Lifetime.
Starting Thursday, couples in need of a marital tune-up will be seen challenging themselves to have sex for seven days (or nights) in a row in the aptly titled "7 Days of Sex."

RELATIONSHIPS
As we all know by now, "reality" television is all about the challenges and the journeys (though the journeys here don't extend much farther than from the kitchen to the bedroom).

These seven-day challenges some have extended them to 30 days, or even to 365 have become popular in recent years in some churches looking to stress the joys of lifetime commitment. And there are at least a couple of how-to books out for people who need help grasping the concept.

Monogamy means more than marriage
RELATIONSHIPS
Traditionally, the term "monogamy" has been defined as being married to one person at a time. However, the definition has since broadened to include merely being in one committed relationship with one person at a time.
With many college students becoming more serious with their partners now than in high school and before, "monogamous" is a term that defines a lot of our relationships.
Also, I imagine many of us would consider ourselves to be serial monogamists, or those who tend to exclusively date one person after another with relatively little time between relationships.
In general, this particular dating style is not uncommon, but it's sometimes treated like it should be nonexistent. However, it is a dating style, it is legitimate, and it's here at the University.
Comrades, I'm one of you, and today it's my mission to make a case in defense of our dating lives. The stigma that serial monogamy is harmful needs to be challenged, and here, I'm bringing that to you.
Popular blog host "Datingish" features many posts about serial
monogamists and discusses how the dating style works and how to spot said monogamists.
To put it into context, Datingish is like Xanga (cue the nostalgia) for blogs specifically about relationships and all that they encompass. Bloggers from far and wide post their stories about different elements of dating and get feedback from other users on them.
One in particular that bothered me is a blog post from October 2008 called, "Serial Monogamists — How Can You Spot One?" User "uhm_roar" opened the entry by telling the story of a friend who dumped a girl after two years and was crushed when she became cozy with a new beau six weeks later.
The writer said he was a "victim" of serial monogamy and suggested that readers post comments about stories and tips on the signs that their next love interest is, God forbid, one of them.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
I'm not sure where to begin on why I find fault in not only the blog post itself but also in many of the comments below it.
Many of the users' comments highlight past run-ins with serial monogamists and detailed stories beginning with "I used to
be a serial monogamist" and the like.
At what point did we start treating serial monogamy like it's a crime or something to be quarantined? When did waiting months or years between relationships translate into being mature or leading a healthy dating life?
One argument is that when people move on quickly, it may suggest that the relationship they delve into next was something that began budding in their relationship before. However, this isn't necessarily the case.
Many things in the dating world are not just black and white. However, exclusivity is.
We have a boy/girlfriend, or we don't. We are committed, or we're not. It really is that simple
And when we're not committed, there's nothing wrong with moving on in six weeks. As one of my ghosts of boyfriends past
put it two weeks ago, your exes are not obligated to stay out of another relationship as long as you are.
Because after all, Beyonce's right; if you like it, you really should put a ring on it. Not saying you should propose. But if you don't want to lose it, don't break up with it.
The only person who can be the victim of serial monogamy is the serial monogamist him/herself. Serial monogamy becomes harmful when the person depends on being in a relationship to be happy. Until that point, serial monogamy is legitimate, just like any other dating style.
Also, it is a mistake to compare being a serial monogamist to being a player. Playing someone always requires an element of deceit. There is nothing inherently deceptive about serial monogamy. Therefore, those who are not like us in being serial monogamists would be unwise to put us at that level.
I'm a big believer that no number of partners is too high and that no amount of time between relationships is too short. All that matters is that serial monogamists, like any other kind of dater, are leading a
healthy and manageable lifestyle.
Being in relationships becomes problematic when we are not smart about them and cannot function without someone to go home to at night. However, this isn't a product of serial monogamy. It's a product of an internal problem, which we do need to fix.
Whether we date seriously, casually, frequently or sporadically, we all need to understand and respect the legitimacy of dating styles, even if we don't share them. As long as we are honest with ourselves and those who come into contact with us, we should not get so hot and bothered by any particular dating style.
Serial monogamy is simply a reflection of the values and interests of the people who live within it. Sometimes I can be cynical, but many serial monogamists are die-hard romantics and believe in the power of intimate relationships. Sometimes they truly are just like the rest of you.

MUSIC
An on-campus walk and music soothes school stress
Spring is my favorite time of the year. With my birthday, March Madness, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, NBA Playoffs, MLB opening day, the weather allowing me to wear more comfortable clothes, the green grass, the rain, and everything else that's great about spring, I can't think of another season beating Spring for "Most Awesome Time Of The Year."
But then again, now that we're in college and have real responsibilities, there is something that ruins the spring for everyone: finals.
By Dylan Lysen
dllysen@kansan.com
Yes, it is now time to act like we are really concerned about our grades and start cramming all the information we never really paid any attention to, just so we don't fail a test that makes up 25 percent of our final grade in the class. It totally makes sense that a large chunk of your grade should come down to how well you do on a single test that covers four months worth of notes and things that may or may not have been said in lecture.
I'm obviously exaggerating, but to some, finals can be a make or break test, and that can be extremely stressful. My
suggestion to deal with the stress finals create is to enjoy the great campus that the state puts a great deal of money into just so it looks nice when you walk around it.
While I'm walking on campus (possibly to the impending doom of finals), I like to find some music that can go hand in hand with the sublimity that our campus creates. I have recently been listening to a British punk band named Sharks. Although the band is a punk band, they have a resemblance to the 1970s and '80s band The Clash.
When choosing music to help distract you from the stress, I suggest some happy-go-lucky pop punk like New Found Glory. If that's not your scene, I also like to listen to and indie-folk band named Fleet Foxes.
You've probably noticed
over the past couple of weeks that workers have been hard at work just to make some flowers bloom in front of Watson Library. The school and the state want this place to look as nice as possible. It may be for the students, or it may be so the university will end up in some Most Beautiful Campus rankings system, but regardless, you should take advantage of the beauty you are given.
Being from Wichita, one of my favorite things to do is drive through the Flint Hills on my way home. In the spring, after tons of rain, the hills will slowly change from the dead yellow grass into a vibrant green. I turn on some Led Zeppelin, roll down the window, and believe I'm in the most beautiful place in the world.
So while you're stressing out from finals, try to enjoy the campus and listen to some good music. Take a deep breath of that Kansas air (try not to sneeze if you have seasonal allergies), and take the time to smell the roses (or maybe they are tulips?).

FAMILY
Give mom credit this Mothers' Day
My mother (whose lovely name I withhold for her own reputation's sake) is a great woman, who deserves better offspring than me. Fortunately for her, she has two more Obermeier sons, well-adjusted and arguably my superiors (they don't read the UDK, so please don't tell them I wrote that). Every time I tell somebody that it was just me and my two brothers (unintentionally not reckoning my dad), the inevitable reply was, "Oh! Your poor mother!" In retrospect, that was the most appropriate sentiment one could express. Say what you will about my mother, she's quite a gambler in the children department.
Because my mother was a high-stakes gambler, I also give her the title "hero." You pretty much have to be to spend twenty-seven months of your life carrying someone else around, and then a couple more decades raising all of them while holding down a paying job or two. And in my childlike worldview, I simply took it for granted I had a mother who wanted to punish me with education.
Mother's Day is still a few weeks distant, but since I'm sure to forget on May 13th and can't recycle excuses to my mom as to why I even forgot to call, this column will show her that I do, occasionally, think of her. Also, print media is more economical than perfume and flowers, and my ma insists that I save for law school.
It saddens and perplexes me when people say they never want to have children. They give multiple reasons for electing childlessness; barring medical exigencies, all of them boil down to "it's too difficult." As a twenty-something-year-old who sometimes regresses back into childhood, I won't argue that children can be difficult. It's expensive, one child often costing billions of dollars for people with more money than sense. Children are disobedient. They don't like doing what they're told and complain over the most trivial things. As mature college students, none of us would ever dream of such infantile behavior, and God knows we've never witnessed it in adults.
There's something inexorably snarky in people like nobody political advisor Hilary Rosen saying that Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, (and, implicitly, all stay-at-home
Let's just chalk up the comments of Ms. Rosen and her ilk as the bitter vile of spiteful humanity. It really must be hard for Ms. Rosen to wake up every morning with no meaningful sense of purpose. I haven't changed a baby's diapers myself, but I believe it would be easier if the excrement I dealt with my own child's and not some Beltway figure's. I'm no sociologist. But I have a strong hunch that if more of us valued family and children above political consultants, it would be a merrier world.
mothers) "have never worked a day in their lives." It puzzles me as to how a political consultant could have the gall to say that anybody else hasn't worked a day in their life, let alone full-time mothers. The heaviest thing Ms. Rosen ever lifted was probably a docket of manipulated polling data; Mrs. Romney has had plenty of heavy lifting with her five boys (an unenviable prospect, even for a Mormon).
My mother isn't perfect; she's missed her share of Jeopardy questions (ironically in "Potpourri") and she got a manically dependent black lab to replace me. In her defense, I wasn't the easiest child to rear. My teenage angst made me curse my very existence, and my parents as the effective cause of that. Fortunately, that ended after I graduated high school and was free to do my own laundry, but many of my peers have yet to move beyond that phase.
Mothering in general is an unjustly scorned profession in our society which glorifies the party habits of Snookie above her decision to have a baby. It's a wonderful, awkward, mystical part of being human. Ma, I don't thank God enough that you read Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss to me instead of buying cable. Happy preemptive Mother's Day to you and all mothers!

CRIME
Zimmerman avoids public after posting bail
TNT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
George Zimmerman, left, walks out of the intake building at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility with a bondsman on Sunday in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman posted bail on a $150,000 bond on a second degree murder charge in the February shooting death of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin In Sanford, Fla.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman, who slipped out of jail on $150,000 bail in the early morning darkness, went back into hiding Monday and likely fled to another state to avoid threats as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for the killing of Travyon Martin.
Even though authorities can pinpoint his location with a GPS ankle bracelet Zimmerman must wear 24-7, the public may not see him again for some time. Zimmerman has waived his appearance at his upcoming arraignment next month, so he can stay underground if he wants.
Zimmerman already has experience laying low: For more than a month before his arrest, he eluded the media and his whereabouts were not known. His attorney has suggested he had several options for where Zimmerman can stay this time, and a judge indicated he was willing to let Zimmerman leave the state.
Until the next time he must come before a judge, Zimmerman will have to skip such routine pleasures as eating in a restaurant or taking a long stroll outside, said Jose Baez, a former attorney for Casey Anthony. Anthony, acquitted last summer of killing her 2-year-old daughter, went into hiding after her release from jail.
"He may be free, but he's not free," Baez said.
First, Zimmerman must limit who knows his whereabouts to avoid the risk someone will give the secret away, Baez said.
"Unfortunately, the people you think you trust, sometimes you find you just really can't," Baez said.
To throw off curious onlookers and the media, Zimmerman could change his look. Anthony went from a long-haired brunette to a bobbed blonde while serving a year of probation on an unrelated charge at an undisclosed location in Florida.
Next, Zimmerman needs to go someplace where he knows few people and they don't know him, said Evan Ratliff, who wrote the book (or at least the magazine article) on how to vanish in the 21st century. In 2009, Wired magazine challenged its readers to try to find Ratliff, who deliberately vanished with the help of disguises, prepaid phones, fake business cards and software that protected his Internet identity, at least for a while. Ratliff eventually was caught because readers were able to trace him through the IP address of a computer he had used.
"He needs to be where he is not around people who are known to be close to him." Ratliff said. "Not a friend's house. Not a relative's house."
Zimmerman needs to refrain from making any public statements, whether via social media
sites like Facebook or Twitter or his own website. www.thealgeorgezimmerman.com, both Baez and Ratliff said. Zimmerman is using his website to help raise money for his legal defense.
Early indications are that will be tough for Zimmerman to resist. After a judge agreed to release him on bond, a statement placed on his website said, "GZ hopes to be able to update the site in the next day or two, God willing. He sends his thanks for your thoughts and support."
Martin's parents have a "heavy heart" now that Zimmerman has been released from jail, said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the 17-year-old's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton.
"They hope his freedom is temporary because the pain he has caused this family is permanent," Crump said Monday.
As a condition of his release, Zimmerman cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. He surrendered his passport and will have to contact his monitors every three days.
Given his success at eluding searchers before his arrest, Baez said he is confident Zimmerman will keep out of public view.
"Based on his prior actions, he seems to be a very careful guy," Baez said. "Based on his prior ability to lay low, he will be fine. He is going to do exactly what is required of him."
WEATHER
Thousands without power after snowstorm hits Northeast
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A noreaster packing soaking rain and spring-time snow churned up the Northeast on Monday, unleashing a burst of winter, closing some schools and triggering power outages in communities that were basking in record warmth a month ago.
The earliest hits were on higher ground, where snow-laden tree limbs pulled down power lines and commuters navigated slushy roads. Up to a foot of snow or more was forecast for higher elevations through Tuesday morning.
Amy Shaulis, a waitress at the Summit Diner in Somerset, Pa., wondered if the storm was a bit of payback.
At the peak Monday, utilities reported about 50,000 customers without power in Pennsylvania and central and western New York.
The image shows a snowy forest with tall trees covered in frost. The ground is partially covered with snow, and the sky appears overcast. The scene captures the serene beauty of a winter landscape.
"We had a very,very light winter, we had summer in the middle of winter and now we're paying for it," she said.
Gov. Tom Corbett declared a disaster emergency and activated the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency's state operations center. By early afternoon, electricity had been restored to about 8,000 of the 25,000 customers who had been without power in the state and predictions of heavy snow in Pittsburgh melted away as the temperature remained well above freezing.
Buffalo, where an alternating mix of rain and wet snow fell throughout the day but did not accumulate on the roads or trees as expected.
It was a similar situation in
The National Weather Service canceled its winter storm warning for the Buffalo area and counties to the north and east in New York and a winter weather advisory for Allegheny and Washington counties in Pennsylvania.
A warning remained in effect through Tuesday for several counties along the New York-Pennsylvania border, where up to a foot of snow was still possible.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Fitzgerald, a National Weather Service meteorologist in State College, Pa., called the snowstorm "unusual, but not unheard of."
Snow blankets the trees and a road in Jackson Township, Pa., Monday. A spring nor'easter packing soaking rain and high winds churned up the Northeast Monday morning, unleashing a burst of winter and up to a foot of snow in higher elevations inland, closing some schools and sparking concerns of power outages.

NCAA BASKETBALL
Larry Brown returns to college basketball
G 02/2 102
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Larry Brown stands on the sidelines during a game at the University of Kansas. Brown coached at Kansas from 1983 through 1988. He coached the 1988 National Championship team.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Larry Brown was introduced Monday as the next basketball coach at SMU, taking his first college coaching job in nearly a quarter century.
With trustees and more than 100 fans cheering and clapping, Brown said he was looking forward to coaching "quality basketball with quality student-athletes."
"I never realized at 71, this opportunity would present itself", Brown said.
The Hall of Famer is the only coach to win both an NCAA championship and an NBA title. Brown hasn't coached since leaving the Charlotte Bobcats in December 2010 and he hasn't coached at the college level since leaving Kansas after winning the NCAA tournament in 1988, the last year SMU won a tournament game.
Brown is taking over a program that has revamped its facilities and has lots of top high school talent nearby, but has struggled to win. SMU, which hasn't advanced to the NCAA tourney since 1993, is also moving from Conference USA to the much tougher Big East in 2013.
Brown said he thought SMU has the resources to compete with the powerful programs in the Big East.
"Walking around this campus, if we can get a kid to visit here, I can't imagine him going anywhere else," Brown said.
Brown replaces Matt Doherty, who was fired after six seasons. Doherty attended Monday's event, as did Kansas coach Bill Self. Details of Brown's deal with SMU, a private school, were not disclosed.
Brown's first coaching job was at Davidson in 1972, though he didn't coach a game there before going to the ABA and then the NBA. He coached at UCLA (1979-81) and Kansas (1983-88) and was the coach of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team that had a disappointing bronze-medal finish.
Brown has a reputation for impressive turnarounds and some messy departures from teams. He has held a record nine NBA jobs and was 1,098-904 (.548 winning
percentage) with Denver, New Jersey, San Antonio, the Los Angeles Clippers, Indiana, Philadelphia, Detroit, the New York Knicks and Charlotte. He took all of those teams but the Knicks to the playoffs.
Doherty went 80-109 in six
seasons at SMU before he was fired March 13 with one year left on his deal. The Mustangs lost 11 of their last 14 games, including a 47-28 home loss to UAB on Feb. 15.
SMU has plans for a $40 million renovation of Moody Coliseum and built a new practice facility
during Doherty's stint.
The hiring of Brown came as SMU's search was going into its sixth week. Other candidates included Marquette's Buzz Williams, Long Beach State's Dan Monson and Rick Majerus from Saint Louis.
Brown's hiring was welcomed by Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, who was fired by the Pistons in 2003 and replaced by Brown. Brown would win a championship in his first season and take the Pistons to the NBA finals before leaving to join the Knicks.
"It's a big-time hire," Carlisle said. "He's a guy that I know well, he's a friend. To get a guy in that stature and status to the city of Dallas to coach at SMU, it's a big deal. It's a big deal. He'll do a great job."

Royals lose to Blue Jays, add 11th-straight loss at home
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jose Bautista hit a two-run homer, Kelly Johnson also went deep and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the bumbling Kansas City Royals 4-1 on Monday night to complete a four-game sweep.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Blue Jays improved to 6-1 on the road this season, while
Kansas City lost its 11th straight to finish up a winless 10-game homestand. The Royals became the first team to lose its first 10 at home since the Chicago Cubs dropped 12 in a row at Wrigley Field in 1994.
Eric Hosmer scored the Royals' only run with a homer leading off the second inning.
Otherwise, Brandon Morrow
(1-1) took care of the struggling Kansas City lineup. The righthander allowed seven hits and one walk in 6 2-3 innings, and Luis Perez and Francisco Cordero did the rest. Cordero got some help from a double-play groundout in the ninth for his second save.

Power rankings: Jayhawks rise from the cellar
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
1. BAYLOR BEARS (35-7, 18-0)
The Bears are on a 24-game winning streak and have yet to lose a game in Big 12 play. Baseball America ranks the Bears third in the country this week. They hold a four-game lead in the conference. Baylor also leads the conference with a .315 team batting average and has scored 22 more runs (282) than the next best team this season.
BAYLOR BEARS
2. TEXAS LONGHORNS (23-14, 11-4)
The Longhorns struggled in the non-conference season, going just 10-10 before Big 12 play. They seem to have found their stride in the Big 12, losing only four times in conference play. Baseball America ranks Texas 20th in the country, the third-highest ranked team in the conference. Texas has struggled to hit the ball out of the park and ranks last in the conference with 12 home runs.
3. TEXAS A&M AGGIES (28-12, 9-6)
The Aggies have been in a tailspin since losing to Kansas two Sundays ago in Lawrence. They've now lost five in a row and have tumbled from second place in Baseball America's rankings to ninth. Last weekend, the Aggies were supposed to be in a battle with the Baylor Bears for Big 12 bragging rights, but instead, the Bears swept the Aggies.
ATM
4. OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (22-17, 8-7)
After the top three teams, there is a steep drop-off in the conference, but the Cowboys are the best of the rest at the moment. They've won their last four games and keep other teams off the scoreboard. They come in second in the conference in team ERA and allow just under three runs per game with a 2.98 ERA.
OKLAHOMA
STATE
UNIVERSITY
5. OKLAHOMA SOONERS (26-14, 7-8)
The Sooners have won their last eight games and come in fifth in the conference standings. They don't blow away their opponents in any one category. They rank sixth in the conference in team batting average (.275) and fifth in team ERA (3.90). They've hit the third most homers in the conference, though 21 balls have left the park off Sooner bats this season.
OU
6. MISSOURI TIGERS (21-17, 6-9)
The Tigers' offense is solid. The team bats .281 and has belted 20 homers this season. The Tigers' pitching is their biggest flaw. Their staff allows the second most earned runs per game with a 4.47 ERA. The pitchers struggle to miss bats and strike out only 6.17 batters per nine innings pitched, which is the worst strikeout-per-nine rate in the conference.
TM
7. KANSAS (16-25, 4-11)
Despite being only one of two teams with an overall losing record in the conference, the Jayhawks place seventh in these power rankings. In the last two weeks they went 4-4, but two of those victories came against teams ranked in the top 25. They beat Texas & A&M last Sunday and Texas last Friday. When the starting pitching is on, the Jayhawks can hang with any one, but they just need the bats to come alive on a more consistent basis.
KU
8. TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (22-20,3-12)
The Red Raiders' record won't blow anyone away, but just looking at statistics, it appears they have just been unlucky this season. Texas Tech claims the sixth best team ERA (3.94) and has surrendered the second fewest homers to opponents (10). The Red Raider offense is where the team excels. They have the second highest batting average in the conference (.298) and runs (260). They've lost their last five games overall and last four conference games, though.
T
9. KANSAS STATE WILDCATS (19-21,3-12)
The Wildcats have struggled in Big 12 play. Along with the Jayhawks, they're the only other team that has an overall losing record this season. They've dropped their last three games overall and their last seven games against Big 12 opponents. Pitching has let the Wildcats down this season. They allow a conference worst 5.32 earned runs per game and opponents are hitting .298 against their pitchers.

"At the end we just kind of make our charge, make our run, and there were some things that had to happen the last run really for us to work out, and those things happened."
The victory gave his Joe Gibbs Racing team some momentum heading to Richmond, where the Virginia driver has won twice before — and where he certainly won't sneak up on anybody.
"It felt a lot like Phoenix in the sense of we kind of hung around the top five all day," said Hamlin, whose best finish at Kansas had been third last year.
"We've had good cars, we got the win at Phoenix, and we've had consistent good performances," crew chief Darian Grubb said. "All these details are starting to add up."
NASCAR
Hamlin takes home trophy from Kansas Speedway
His team kept making slight adjustments on every stop and had his Toyota dialed in late in the race when Hamlin charged past Martin Truex Jr. for the lead. He then held off Truex's last-ditch move with two laps remaining to win for the second time this season.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It seemed as if Denny Hamlin was out for a Sunday afternoon drive at Kansas Speedway, hanging around the leaders most of the day but never really giving anybody too much reason to worry.
Turned out that Hamlin was playing possum, just as he did at Phoenix earlier this year.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jimmie Johnson was third for Hendrick Motorsports, which has failed in 14 tries to win the team's milestone 200th race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne also finished in the top 10.
"I was just watching from the third spot, hoping those guys would give me an opportunity," Johnson said. "I just wish I was
closer to those guys to race for it."
"They didn't panic," team owner J.D. Gibbs said. "They paced themselves, and I'm glad the sun stayed out a little at the end."
Truex dominated most of the afternoon, leading a race-high 173 laps, but had to settle for second place. It was his third top-five finish of the season, but he's yet to win in 175 races.
"Sorry guys, I lost this one for you," a despondent Truex radioed to his team.
Long green-flag runs on Sunday gave Hamlin the chance to sit back and watch as the race unfolded, never pressing for the lead until it mattered. When that happened, his team had made enough right decisions that he powered to the front as the sun finally broke through.
"Hey man, you did a great job," came the reply. "They know we were here."
Truex said his final set of tires cost him. He was the loosest hed been all race, and that allowed Hamlin to charge into the lead. Truex rallied within a car length, but he couldn't make a final move on the bottom side stick, allowing Hamlin to pull away.
"I guess if we can be this frustrated with second, it tells you how close we are as a team," said Trues, who hasn't won since Dover in 2007. "The race car was really good. I'm just not really sure what to think about that last set of tires. I was just wrecking-loose that last set."
Truex called the performance a statement moment for Michael Waltrip Racing.
Hamlin is starting to have a statement season.
He won this year at Phoenix, started on the pole at California, and led 31 laps a couple weeks ago at Martinsville before finishing sixth. He was 12th last week at Texas.
"It's hard to analyze your program by a one-week performance," he said. "There are always areas that we need to work in. We feel like we've identified those areas and we've gone to work on them. So right now I feel like we're bringing better race cars to the track."
"It was a tough day," Bifle said. "We were back and forth all day, and we were back just a bit. When the track had a lot of grip the car was unbelievable."
The 14-race drought for Hendrick is its longest since going 15 races without a win during the 2002 and '03 seasons. The streak began after Johnson's win last October at Kansas.
"Everybody here needs a win for one reason or another," Earnhardt said. "We're all working really hard, but I'm not really focusing on homing in on that too heavily. You've got to think about what your car's doing and what you need to do to help your car.
Kevin Harvick was sixth, followed by Earnhardt and Kahne, giving Hendrick Motorsports at least three cars in the top-10 for the second straight week.
Jeff Gordon had engine trouble late in the race and finished 21st.
Matt Kenseth finished fourth despite having a wild afternoon trying to get into the pits, often sliding across the line at the start of pit road. Greg Biffle followed up his victory last week at Texas with a fifth-place run, though he didn't have the car to contend at Kansas.
"Make your car faster, then the wins eventually take care of themselves."
The pressure will continue to mount on the four-car team, though. And when Johnson was asked whether he'll be relieved when someone gets the win, his reply came through unvarnished: "More than you could ever imagine," he said.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW Royals' slump ruins fans' expectations
As a lifelong Royals fan, the start of the 2012 season might be the most embarrassing one that I've witnessed.
Like many I bought into the "Our Time" slogan that the marketing department displayed throughout the month of March.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
While studying box scores and reading various articles about spring training, it appeared that Kansas City was on track for a rebirth.
The Royals even started off the season on a high note, taking two of three games from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Danny Duffy delivered another impressive pitching performance against the Oakland Athletics in the second series of the season.
Then there was the excitement of Opening Day. The Royals brought in all the big guns. They stretched out a gigantic flag across the outfield and George Brett, one of the most celebrated Royals ever, tipped his cap to the crowd and threw out the first pitch.
Every Roylals fan was excited, including myself. I thought this was going to be the year. The year that everything got turned around. A year like 2003 when "We all Believed" and "Lima Time" rang
among the concourses of Kauffman Stadium.
As Royals fans have found out, the former first overall pick in 2006, Luke Hochevar can show off unbelievable talents at times. But he also struggles at times to pitch to his capabilities. In the opener, Hochevar was lit up for seven runs in the first inning alone.
I know baseball is a long season and pitchers have bad outings, but if there's one day a year that a pitcher must bring their "A" game, it's Opening Day.
Then it all changed once the team trotted onto the field.
Insult was added to injury after Hochevar took a line drive to his left ankle in the fourth inning and had to leave the game.
This isn't the first time the injury bug has hit Kansas City already this year.
After signing their prized catching prospect, Salvador Perez, to a 5 year deal for $7 million with three club option years that total up to $19.75 million, Perez underwent surgery for his left knee to repair a torn meniscus during spring training that will leave him on the diabled list until late in the summer.
After a fantastic spring, center fielder Lorenzo Cain looked ready to show Kansas City why the Zack Greinke trade was worth it for the Royals.
He was on a tear this spring, batting .371 and posted an on-base percentage of 450.
Then he injured his left groin while slamming into the wall against Oakland on April 11. He's eligible to return on Thursday.
This might seem like an inordinate amount of injuries for the Royals, but considering they had minimal injuries in 2011, it does not come as much of surprise.
What comes as a surprise is the dramatic drop off of fan support after only 15 games, but in the end the fans are right.
Losing 10 in a row is depressing for everyone in a city that was excited to embrace a winner once again, something
KU
that Kansas City hasn't seen since the great teams of the 1980s.
I understand it's a long season and that adjustments will be made in the upcoming weeks, but people will start getting restless, including myself, if this losing streak continues.
It's clear that the Royals have the talent — especially on offense — to compete for the American League Central title this season.
All I'm asking is this: When I go to Kauffman this year, and spend my $10 for parking and my $30 for a decent seat and my $8 for drinks, I expect to see a decent product on the field.
So in order for that to happen, Kansas City needs to make some drastic changes now, otherwise "Our Time" will turn into "Will it ever be our time?"

COMMENTARY
In the two years under Turner Gill, the Jayhawks not only failed to win most games, but they also never gave a sometimes-fickle football fanbase a reason to believe improvement was on the way. With every ounce of momentum gone from the 2008 Orange Bowl title, it was time for a change.
Weis wants a fresh mentality
In the short time Weis has been at Kansas, there is an undeniable intrigue around Kansas football – something that rarely exists in April at Kansas. The Jayhawks have its first five-star quarterback in program history even if it is Dayne Crist, looking to resurrect a once-promising career.
PAGE 7 SMU welcomes Larry Brown
We saw Weis dismiss 10 players from the team back in January as he held players accountable for the transgressions that Gill's regime ignored. We've heard the team say that it's never been worked this hard and can already sense improvement.
Without a full recruiting cycle, it will be difficult for Weis to field a team that can contend in the Big 12. Let's remember that Weis has a massive rebuilding job ahead of him at Kansas, so the fix will not happen over night.
Mission accomplished.

When the spring game kicks off on Saturday, it will be interesting to see the improvement this team has made. This program was at rock bottom, so there is really nowhere to go but up.
From the moment he arrived in Lawrence to take charge of the Kansas football program, Charlie Weis made it clear that Kansas needed a new mentality. Almost six months into his Kansas coaching tenure, Saturday's spring game will give fans a first glimpse of what to expect in 2012.
— Edited by Anna Allen
Now, I don't expect Saturday's scene at Memorial Stadium to approach a normal game atmosphere with 50,000 fans in the stadium — let's be realistic. If there is one thing the Kansas football team has going for it right now, it's that there is a definite buzz around the Jayhawks with 2012's kickoff 130 days away.
"I can tell you guys aren't used to winning." Weis said to the team. "Hey, Hey, fellas. OK. Winning a football game is not supposed to be an uncommon occurrence. I know that's a novel concept around here."
Considering that the Big Ten's Nebraska has a Big 12 victory more recent than Kansas, I'd think most Kansas supporters would agree with Weis. Kansas needs to change, and while I'm not sure practicing a celebration is necessary, it's nice to see some enthusiasm from the head coach and players.
Last week, Weis held an open practice at 6 a.m. that the media was permitted to attend. To end the practice, Weis had kicker Ron Doherty practice a game-winning field goal, so the team could celebrate. Doherty missed the first but made the second. However, when the team's celebration wasn't as enthusiastic as Weis wanted, he let the team hear it.
THE FUTURE OF FOOTBALL

FIXING THE DEFENSE
Charlie Weis has been pleasantly surprised by a few of the football team's positions this spring. During Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference, Weis pointed to the running backs, wide receivers and cornerbacks as positions that have impressed him in one way or another so far.
While the running backs and wide receivers at least had some success last season, the cornerbacks along with Kansas' defense did not. The Jayhawks' passing
defense ranked 110th in the country last season, allowing 277.9 passing yards per game.
Weis admitted the secondary got exposed some last season, but he doesn't blame cornerbacks for all of the defense's struggles last season.
"They needed to get some bigger muchachos up front," Weis said.
Kansas will have some experience in the secondary next season. Senior cornerback Greg Brown and junior cornerback Tyler Patmon return next season and share 32 starts between them. And now Weis is bringing in six
defensive linemen this season to help the Jayhawks create more pressure up front.
Weis chose the third week of Kansas' season, September 15, to host TCU in Lawrence.
But the influx of new players can also be a disadvantage when it comes to spring practice for Kansas. Weis said he has players playing on his defensive line in practice right now, who likely won't be when the season starts. This creates a mismatch between the defense and the offense in practice.
"Players are creatures of habit," Weis said. "When you look at the big picture, once you get going into the season, you want to get going, you want to get in the same routine."
For now, Weis will have to wait for all of his recruits and transfers to come in before he can start having true competition in practice on the defensive line.
SCHEDULING TCU
Weis said it was about the mentality he's been trying to build at
Kansas had a choice of when its first Big 12 game would be. The Jayhawks could have either played TCU on September 15, or two weeks later on September 29.
Kansas. He said playing TCU will never be easy, and that the whole goal is to try to build momentum early in the season, following back-to-back home games to start the season.
"You're going to play good teams in the big 12 and your going to play them on a regular basis," Weis said. "So rather than waiting till the fifth week of the year to go ahead and play one, you might as well get your feet wet and get going."

Senior Donny Wasinger from Winona, Minn., finished the meet with the fastest men's 1500-meter time; it was the third consecutive year at the Kansas Relays that he had won the event.
"I will always remember KU," Wasinger said, holding his third straight Kansas Relays trophy.
Wasinger said he knows the University's track and field traditions well. He said he hopes his name will be added to the list of distance runners hailing from Kansas, including Jim Ryun, Wes Santee, and Glen Cunningham.
Meanwhile, Diamond Dixon, a sophomore sprinter from Houston, ran the 400-meter dash in 51.8 seconds. The only woman faster than that was Olympic goldmedalist Dee Dee Trotter, who set a new meet record at 50.94 seconds.
In the 4x400-meter relay, Dixon and her teammates set a meet record of their own. The team completed the relay in 3 minutes, 31 seconds. "I saw the time and I was pushing for it," Dixon said.

Student arrested on suspected gun possession
ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE
KU Police arrested a 22-year-old University student Monday night on suspicion of possessing a gun in his residence hall.
Police responded to Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, 1425 Alumni Place, around 11 p.m. Maj. Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said the hall's director placed the call, during which she said she had received multiple reports that the student had a gun in his room.
Keary said police made contact with the suspect, who was not brandishing the weapon at the time of his arrest, and recovered the gun.
The man was cited for unlawful possession of a firearm on government property (a misdemeanor) and given a notice to appear in Douglas County District Court.
Guns are not permissible inside any University building. Keary said all buildings are lawfully marked with signs stating this rule.

Police release mugshot composite of suspect
The KU Public Safety Office released a suspect composite for a Saturday night attack on a 19-year-old female University student.
The composite was released yesterday in an updated sexual battery crime alert.
Anyone with information that may help identify a suspect is asked to call the KU Public Safety Office at (785) 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at (785) 864-8888
Maj. Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said there are no new details in the case.
The student was attacked while walking home Saturday at 2:10 a.m. along Sunnyside Avenue, according to the alert.
The woman said

she was outside Haworth Hall when a white man struck her in the face and grabbed her breast.
The victim received minor injuries but was not treated at the hospital.
HAVE INFORMATION?
According to the alert, she described the suspect as college-aged, between 6 feet and 6 feet 3 tall, with a thin build, dark eyes and dark hair between 1 and 3 inches long. He was wearing a green Ralph Lauren polo shirt and cargo shorts at the time of the attack.
Keary said the department does not think the attack is related to an attack last Monday night on a female student outside of Strong Hall because of the differences in suspect descriptions. The department does not have any new details in the Monday night attack either, but Keary said it has continued its investigation of both attacks.
The Public Safety Office advises students to walk in groups, stay on well-lit walking paths and use SafeRide and SafeBus. Students are asked to be mindful of their surroundings and report any unusual behavior to the Public Safety Office or local police.

Earth Day came late to Lawrence. The official holiday was Sunday, but KU Environs, a student organization that promotes environmental awareness, hosted panel discussions focused on local environmental issues Monday evening in the Kansas Union.
The program, "Our Campus, Our Community, Our Environment," included discussions about solid waste management, preservation and land use, local health and food policy and the history of
environmentalism.
Kim Scherman, a senior from Eudora and president of Environs, said that she thought it was important to expose students to environmental issues on campus and in the city.
"I want the community to know that these are all things that they can get involved with," Scherman said. "They're not separate from them. They're not above them. These are things that we can all talk about and plan for and it should be a collaboration."
The topics were especially relevant to the audience considering
the recent popularity of being environ mentally friendly.
"We're in very exciting green times," said panelist Kelly Kindscher, senior scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey and a professor of environmental studies.
Preserving open spaces and the Haskell-Baker Wetlands were frequently mentioned throughout the conversation as was the question of what people can do to help the environment.
"We've not done a very good job at all of protecting landscapes in and around Lawrence," Kindscher said. "Things have been pretty out
of balance. We've added a very small amount of green space and a much larger area of developed space."
Kindscher and fellow panelists said that educating the general public about environmental issues was an important part of bringing about change.
"The biggest part of our program is outreach and education for all of our audiences," said Kari Cantarero, the program manager of the University Environmental Stewardship Program. "We really try to reach out to everybody and educate them on how to recycle and what we do
with the recyclables."
The evening also included a performance from local band Heartscape Landbreak, locally grown food from University dining services and a silent auction.
Rain barrels that were painted earlier in the year by students, faculty, staff, community and campus organizations decorated the room. Throughout the night, the barrels were auctioned off, raising more than $1,000 for the University's Student Rain Garden.

PRESIDENTS
The other side of Lyndon B. Johnson

Mark Updegrove (right), director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum and author of" Indomitable Will: LBJ in the Presidency," answers a question from a member of the audience during a presentation at the Dole Institute of Politics Monday.
Funding for higher education and federal student loans are just some of the many contributions from the presidency of Lyndon Johnson that students and the Lawrence community learned about Monday night at the Dole Institute of Politics.
Mark Updegrove, director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas, spoke about President Johnson's pivotal role in civil rights, the Vietnam War and American politics.
Updegrove acknowledged the negative image history has of Johnson, but said he sees Johnson as a complex figure who advanced the civil rights movement. He noted Johnson's ability to turn tragedies such as Kennedy's assassination into opportunities to pass civil rights legislation.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
"Nobody saw the same man," Updegrove said. "He treated everybody differently, which is why, in part, he was an effective legislator. He influenced people so advenantly."
And while many saw Johnson as a war monger and a power seeker, Updegre pointed to Johnson's desire to broker a truce during the Vietnam War between South and North Vietnam.

Updegrove said Johnson used a variety of tactics to pass many laws that shaped modern America such as Medicare, the Clean Air Act and other aspects of what he called "The Great Society"
"The biggest thing he got done
"He had that gift to read people effectively," Updegrove said.
Ryan Burton, a junior from Colorado Springs, Co., found Updegrove's analysis engaging.
Burton said he gained a greater understanding of the difficult position Johnson was in and came to appreciate the benefits from legislation passed under him.
"He did a great job of showing who LBJ was, not the man that people perceived him to be," Burton said.
Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute, said she was glad to have Updegrove come and share stories from Johnson's presidency that went beyond Viet-

As for how Johnson would fit in today's political system, Updegrove thought Johnson would be liberal, but remain fiscally conservative. Regardless, Johnson always worked
"He got so much done because he treated people with respect," Updegrove said. "He would lament the lack of civility."

President Barack Obama arrives at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Tuesday. He spoke about student debt.
Obama sympathizes with college students about the cost of loans
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Courting college voters, President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Congress needs to keep the cost of college loans from skyrocketing for millions of students, taking an important election-year message to three states crucial to his bid to hold onto the White House.
Obama told students at the University of North Carolina that he personally understood the burden of college costs, noting that he and first lady Michelle Obama had "been in your shoes" and didn't pay off their student loans until eight years ago.
"I didn't just read about this. I didn't just get some talking points about this. I didn't get a policy briefing on this," Obama said, recalling he and his wife shared a "mountain of debt" not a long time ago. "When we married, we got poor together."
The emphasis on his personal experience set up a contrast with
his likely Republican presidential opponent, Mitt Romney, whose father was a wealthy auto executive.
By taking on student debt, Obama spoke to middle-class America and targeted an enormous burden that threatens the economic recovery.
Pressuring Republicans in Congress to act, he sought to energize the young people essential to his campaign — those who voted for him last time and the many more who have turned voting age since then. Obama urged students to take their message to social media sites like Twitter to pressure their lawmakers.
Both Obama and Romney have expressed support for freezing the current interest rates on the loan for poorer and middle-class students but lawmakers are still exploring ways to pay for the plan. The issue is looming because the rate will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 without intervention by Congress, an

Ugandan soldiers hunting for fugitive warlord Joseph Kony deep in the Central African Republic eat a quick breakfast in the early morning on April 19. Encounters between Ugandan troops and Lord's Resistance Army rebels are so rare that the Kony hunters worry about other things when they walk the army: armed poachers, wild beets and honey bees.
Ugandan soldiers say there's no sign of Kony and the LRA
DIEMA, Central African Republic — The hunt for alleged war criminal Joseph Kony is heating up on international radars, but Ugandan foot soldiers who have spent years searching for the man are starting to ask a question their top commanders prefer to ignore. Is it possible he is dead?
Ugandan army officials say the Lord's Resistance Army leader is alive and hiding somewhere within the Central African Republic. Rank-and-file soldiers, however, say intelligence on Kony is so limited that if he dies, or is already dead, his foes might never know and could wind up chasing a ghost through this vast Central Africa
jungle.
Soldiers in one of many Konyhunting squads said their task in the Central African Republic could no longer be described as a manhunt. The soldiers, who requested anonymity for fear of punishment, said for years there has been no LRA presence in the areas they patrol.
The soldiers are growing increasingly disillusioned, complaining of boredom and having to carry around heavy guns they never expect to use.
want to keep us here, but up to now our squad has never come across any rebels."
Another soldier said: "We are bored. We have nothing to do. We are mobile every day but we never see the enemy."
"Our commanders don't want you to know the truth," one of them said on the banks of the Vovodo river, his colleagues nodding in approval. "They
Ugandan officials say Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, fled to the Central African Republic hours before the aerial attack, but LRA attacks have been frequently reported in Congo recently. Ugandan troops left the Congo last year after Congolese authorities asked them to go.

Court to deliver Gilani verdict Thursday
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's Supreme Court is expected to deliver a verdict later this week in a contempt case against the prime minister that could see him losing his job at a time

A guilty verdict could also result in Prime

That could stoke fresh political turmoil at a time when Pakistan is

But even if Gilani is forced to step down — a process that could take months — the deeper political impact could be limited since the ruling coalition has the majority in parliament needed to elect a new prime minister,
The court has summoned to Gilani to appear before it on Thursday, when it is expected to deliver its verdict, said his lawyer, Aitzaz Ahsan.
"I am hopeful that the prime minister will be acquitted," Ahsan said outside the courthouse in Islamabad.
The judges have repeatedly ordered the government to write a letter to Swiss authorities requesting they reopen a case against President Ali Ifi Zardari that is from the late 1990s.

President Salva Kiri's comments, made during a trip to China, signal a rise in rhetoric between the rival nations who had spent decades at war with each other. Neither side has officially declared war.
war that killed 2 million people.
NAIROBI, Kenya — South Sudan's president said its northern neighbor has "declared war" on the world's newest nation, just hours after Sudanese jets dropped eight bombs onto South Sudan on Tuesday.
Sudan and South Sudan have been drawing closer to a full-scale war in recent weeks over the unresolved issues of oil revenues and their disputed border. South Sudan seceded from Sudan last year as a result of a 2005 peace treaty that ended decades of
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir gave a fiery speech last week in which he said there will be no negotiations with the "poisonous insects" who are challenging Sudan's claim to disputed territory near the nations' shared border.
Kir, the southern president, arrived in China late Monday for a five-day visit to lobby for economic and diplomatic support.
Kiril told Chinese President Hujiao the visit comes at a "a very critical moment for the Republic of South Sudan because our neighbor in Khartoum has declared war on the Republic of South Sudan."
EUROPE
Migrants jailed while asylum claims pursued
NYIRBATOR, Hungary They say they came to Hungary to escape brutality, war or the threat of being put to death in their home countries. Instead, they are serving untold months behind bars without ever being convicted of a crime.
Migrants who arrive from violence-ridden countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan or Somalia are spending up to a year languishing in detention centers.
In 2010, the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban adopted a policy of locking up undocumented migrants while authorities adjudicate their asylum claims. Critics, including the writers of a U.N. report released Tuesday, say the policy is unusually harsh and out of step with European norms and international law.
"No other country (in Central Europe) is taking such extreme and harsh measures as Hungary does, and in no other country do we hear so many similar reports of abuse in detention," said Gottried Koefer, UNHCR's representative for Central Europe.
Inmates at a detention center in the eastern city of Nyribator jammed up against the metal grills covering the windows at the sight of Associated Press reporters on the street below.
"I come here for asylum, not prison!" shouted one skull-capped inmate.

MOVIE REVIEW

Jason Stahlaights off Chinese and Russian mobsters to protect Mei, a young Chinese girl capable of memorizing practically any J.J. Perry's new film "Safe." Despite a mediocre plot, the dialogue and characters remain strong.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Another B-movie thriller for action star Statham
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
His Awesomeness, Jason Statham, has let it be known that he chooses his films based on the fight choreographer the producers hire.
Often as not, that blows up in his face. Why else would the Human Bullet from Blighty end up in dogs like "War," "Transporter 3" and "Death Race"?
But with "Safe" working with choreographer JJ. Perry ("Haywire"), that strategy pays off. A slow-building B-movie thriller, the plot is nothing new for Statham. There's a girl in need of his protection from assorted gangs of bad men. But the dialogue crackles with flinty one-liners.
We meet Mei (Catherine Chan), who is in a Russian mobster's office. He wants something from her. A number. He says he'll subject her to "one of those tortures you people are so famous for."
Nobody in "Safe" is politically correct. And nobody thinks anything of menacing a little girl. Mei is 11.
Flash back to a year before, when Mei was in a Chinese school correcting her teacher's math. A Chinese mobster (James Hong, reliably evil) needs her as his courier. Numbers on a computer "leave a trail that's easy to follow," he purses in Mandarin. Little girls who can remember long strings of numbers do not.
Writer-director Boaz Yakin ("Remember the Titans," "Uptown Girls") keeps us off balance, spending much of the film's first half hour following Mei, winning sympathy for her plight. Shipped to America, in the care of a murderous adoptive dad (Reggie Lee), she's had to learn "business" the hard way — witnessing torture, murder, shakedowns and corruption.
Then, there's mixed martial arts cage fighter Luke (Statham), a man who has just crippled an opponent in the ring in a fight Luke was supposed to throw. The Russian gamblers plan elaborate punishment for him.
They kill his pregnant wife and turn him loose, promising to murder anyone he gets close to,
no matter where he goes.
Mei slips free of her captors, but only temporarily. The Chinese Triads want her, and the Russian mob, and crooked cops playing both against each other, led by Capt. Wolf (Robert John Burke; menacing as all get out). That's when Luke sees her and finds, in her, a purpose: keep her "Safe."
What we have here is basically an American "Transporter," with Statham caught up in the most jaw-dropping, quick-cut fights you've seen in years.
He plows through Russians on the subway, Chinese gangsters in a casino and cops in between, on the mean streets, which he navigates with dazzling automotive dexterity. Occasionally he stops long enough to make a threat.
The dialogue and the characters are better than the plot. And the fights are better than even the one-liners. Statham never phones it in, though his roles can seem to be one long version of the same guy: haunted and hunted, in need of a shave.

Just sitting in Watkins makes me feel sicker
Dear boy sitting in front of me in Geography playing Legend of Zelda: want to find my tri-force?
Sometimes when I'm bored during a lecture I just picture my professor bald. Male or female, its entertaining every time.
When you're halfway through the day and you realize your undies are on inside out, do you switch them?
Kevin Young shouldn't be allowed to be in my class, he's just too distracting.
Every time I have a class in Malott. I am just hoping to get a hazmat alert for evacuation.
Hey angel face, next time try buying a whole shirt.
I promise the library printers aren't that hard to use. You just have to be smart.
My roommates and I are starting a collection of guys clothes we've acquired throughout the semester. I love my roommates.
I received a statement in the mail last week from my insurance company thanking me for choosing paperless billing.
Finals week is approaching and people are starting to get that look in their eyes. The look of someone whose soul is about to break.
Just realized the only time I voluntarily take out the trash is when I'm procrastinating from doing big school projects.
There are 12 Schol Halls, and 12 districts. Time for the 76th annual hunger games!
The Hawk should invest in a photo booth in the Boom-Boom Room. One dollar a picture and that thing would pay for itself.
Finals are here. That means that the return of "no pants studying" is finally back.
I wonder if a receptionist at a sperm bank has ever used the phrase,
"Thanks for coming!"
Dear self flushing toilet: I wasn't done yet.
I don't care if he's dressed in pastel head-to-toe, I love when a man holds open a door for me.
When I see the ice cream man I grab my pepper spray.
Yes, I will dance on campus to my music. You should try it sometime.
I don't care how hot you are. There is such thing as your dress being too short. It's not cute to see that much

Buffett Rule won't affect US deficit
POLITICS
President Barack Obama has made raising taxes on the very rich a central theme of his reelection campaign, at least partly in preparation to run against one of the very rich, Mitt Romney. The primary means President Obama has pushed to tax the rich at higher rates has become known as the "Buffett Rule." The Buffett Rule refers to ensuring that the rich pay their fair share of taxes and ensuring they do not pay less in taxes than the middle class. The threshold level Obama has set for the tax rate on millionaires is 30 percent.
The Buffett Rule has taken the form of legislation in the Paying a Fair Share Act. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat Senator from Rhode Island. The bill effectively takes President
Obama's proposal and makes it law, incorporating a 30 percent effective tax rate phased in on those with adjusted gross incomes between $1 and 2 million, and applicable to all making more than $2 million. The bill does allow for deductions for charitable contributions, seeking to still incentivize the rich to give to charity. Sen. Whitehouse said making the rule law would ensure millionaires "pay a fair share no matter what loopholes or special treatment lawmakers add to the code in the future." While the bill was blocked in the Senate by the Republicans, according to Sen. Charles Schumer, the Democrats still "think we can pass something."
President Obama has claimed numerous benefits for instituting the Buffett Rule tax policy, includ

ing deficit stabilization. Last fall he claimed the Buffett Rule tax could "raise enough money to stabilize our debts and deficits for the next decade ... this is not politics; this is math." Just last week President Obama again claimed implementation of the rule would help close the United States deficit.
However, this claim is not actually true. Implementing the Buffett Rule would have virtually no effect on the United States deficit. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation the rule would only raise $47 billion over the next ten years. Now, this sounds like a large sum, until you consider the United States national debt ($15.6 trillion) and the projected
deficits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the national deficits will amount to $6.4 trillion in just the next ten years. At that rate it would take collecting from the rule for 1,360 years to pay for ten years of projected deficits.
President Obama also overstates the effect the Buffett Rule would have on the rich's effective tax rates. The Congressional Research Service found the average tax rate among millionaires to be close to 30 percent, with about a tenth of millionaires paying above 35 percent and about a tenth paying below 24 percent. The Tax Policy Center estimates that 35 percent of millionaires would pay higher taxes than they do today. While implementing the Buffett Rule would effect some millionaires' taxrates, the evidence shows the
tax rates are already close to what would be required.
The misleading nature of President Obama's comments concerning the Buffett Rule is disturbing. While it may be a prudent political decision to discuss such policies, there is also a duty for politicians to not mislead their constituents, especially the President. President Obama should stop claiming the Buffett Rule would deal with our deficit or debt problems and candidly admit only comprehensive tax or entitlement reform (or both) can adequately address this issue. Honesty is something we could use more of from our politicians and who better than the President to take the lead.

Judging the summer's movies before they open in theaters
As the year winds to a close and thousands of students get ready for graduation, many of us have only one thing on our mind: pre-judging upcoming movie releases and then making catty remarks about them. Truly, it is my favorite past time. Whether I'm gushing about how good the newest James Bond movie is going to be or rolling my eyes as hard as I can at "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," nothing makes me feel alive like when I offer opinions on movies I haven't even seen. So, join me as I take a look at the year's upcoming films.
By Lou Schumaker

MAY
The Avengers (May 4) — Even if "The Avengers" didn't look, scientifically speaking, super awesome, I would still be excited that Marvel is following through on this long-awaited sequel to its many superhero movies. While DC hasn't produced a decent non-Batman superhero movie in over three decades, Marvel is delivering a movie that comic book nerds would have laughed off as impossible ten years ago. If nothing else, this movie will at least give us a lifetime supply of Sam Jackson saying awesome things while wearing an evenpatch.
Battleship (May 18) - While everyone immediately thought it was a stupid idea to make a movie out of the board game "Battleship", I don't think anyone counted on it being this ludicrous. While the game featured bored youths reading numberletter combinations to each other, the movie features aliens blowing up airfields with crazy metal balls and Rihanna talking about her grandmother. I can't even
make a judgement call on this because I'm still not 100% the whole thing isn't a fever-dream I had.
JUNE
Prometheus (June 8) — Ridley Scott's newest addition to the "Alien" franchise is highly anticipated and if it doesn't deliver on the hype, I think we have to all agree to stop saying Scott is a great director. He made two great films ("Alien" and "Blade Runner") and has been coasting on those successes ever since. Seriously, does anyone remember how terrible "Body of Lies" was? Really terrible, that's how.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (June 22) - The recent popularity of nerd culture and comic book movies has been a double-edged sword. While it delivered big-budget, exciting adaptations like "The Dark Knight Rises" or "The Avengers," it has also allowed schlock like "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" to be produced.
Like last year's "Priest" or Finland's "Iron Sky," "Vampire Hunter" promises to be a highly-stylized, off-the-wall, action movie that also manages to look incredibly boring. I can't really get into more depth here, but I'll probably complain about it a lot on Twitter (@LouSchu) this summer, so stay tuned!
JULY
AUGUST
The Dark Knight Rises (July 22) — It's a Batman movie. What do you need, a map?
The Expendables 2 (Aug 17) — Now with Chuck Norris! Listen, I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I feel like we've lost sight of who Chuck Norris is. Chuck Norris has always been pretty lame and then people made the "Chuck Norris facts" website, which featured over the top "facts." Part of the joke of these was how lame Norris was in real life, but at some point people forgot that and now we're apparently excited that the star of "Walker: Texas Ranger" is going to be in a movie. This is a cautionary tale.
SEPTEMBER
Schumaker is a senior in film & media studies and English from Overland Park.
STUDY ABROAD
Finding Nemo (Sep 14) — Pixar is re-releasing "Finding Nemo" in an attempt to make money off of 3D and also to trick me into thinking I've gone back in time. No such luck, Pixar! I'm hip to your game!
Obviously there's many more movies coming out this year, including a new Bond film (exciting!) and a 3D version of "The Great Gatsby" (hold up, what?), but I've run out of room. As the year comes to a close, just remember these two things: it's impossible to judge a movie before you've seen it and the Superman movie coming out next year is going to be terrible.
How 'la dolce vita' gives meaning to home and comfort
W that is it that makes a place feel like home? I've been living in
Italy for eight months now and the thought of going "home" in June is terrifying. Sure, I don't want to leave all this cultural history in Europe, nor do I particularly want to return to American food, but my fear doesn't stem from the thought that I'll never come back to Europe.
Rather, my concept of what I'm going "home" to has drastically changed. Ever since I've managed to make a home out of a completely foreign situation. That "home" at home has become more foreign in itself. I know Kansas has changed. No matter how many times my friends and family claim how eventless their lives are, things are always happening, and I've selfishly been sad about those changes because I don't know how I'm supposed to fit myself back into them.
Instead I've managed to fit myself right into the middle of la dolce vita. It doesn't have anything to do with being a movie star or being so rich that I can fly myts to the middle of Romania and back for fun. La dolce vita for most Italians is about the little things. It's about the little things that you enjoy because you're comfortable enough to do so. I had no idea that I could be so comfortable in a world where I'm not even sure how to say "comfort."
When I come back to my apartment from a trip, I can easily collapse on the couch and fall asleep only to be woken up two hours later with shouts from my roommates about how my dinner is ready. If I make a mess in the kitchen, I can leave it out of sheer laziness and go back to finish later. I am comfortable hanging up all my
By Bernadette Myers bmeyers@kansan.com
underwear on the drying rack in the entrance hallway. I can even talk with my roommates about bowel movements.In Italian.
I used to want to drop raw pasta on the accordion player who plays outside my window every morning at 8 a.m. Now the same four songs he plays on repeat have become the soundtrack to my morning routine, and I can't fall asleep without the frequent shouts from the Irish Pub beneath my apartment.
I'm comfortable in Italy, and what worries me is that the "home" I'll be returning to won't feel as comfortable as I knew it to be. We constantly define home based on the past, what it's traditionally felt like and the memories that preserve that tradition. But as I come home to a place that is already different, I prefer to define "home" as a place that is always changing. Every time we come back to it, something will be different, but the fact that we're comfortable acknowledging and embracing those differences really makes it feel like "home."
The 6-year-old boy who I teach English to is now comfortable enough to pull his pants down in front of me. I don't know if I'm comfortable with it at this point, but his father seems to laugh about it. He is also comfortable enough to write the dirty words he knows while we're doing exercises. I don't tell his dad about that one.
Myers is a junior in European studies and Italian.

Chancellor's guesthouse broken into Saturday
A thief broke into the Chancellor's guesthouse this weekend and stole cash, according to a KU Office of Public Safety report.
The guesthouse is northeast of the Chancellor's residence, 1532 Lilac Lane, and comprises two apartments.
Maj. Chris Keary, assistant KU police chief, said a visiting professor living on the second floor left at 6 p.m. Saturday and returned around midnight to discover a broken window on the southwest
side of the apartment. Sunday morning, the professor reported the break-in and said $200 and 100 British pounds were missing.
Rachel Salyer
Damage is estimated at $250. Keary said the investigation remains open and anyone with information is asked to call the KU Public Safety Office at (785) 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at (785) 864-8888.

University, DEA partner to collect unused drugs
Students can help prevent drug abuse Wednesday by disposing of their unused prescription drugs at Wescoe Beach or Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The University and the Drug Enforcement Administration partner in these Take Back events each year. According to a University release, the goal is to prevent people from abusing prescription drugs obtained from family and friends.
Students will find a drop-off point for unused prescription drugs at Wescoe Beach between 10 a.m. and noon. Students can also dispose of medicine in a drive-up location in front of Watkins
between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Use of the drop-off points will be free of charge and anonymous, with no questions asked, according to the University.
Last April, the University drop-offs collected 37 pounds of prescription drugs. The DEA has recovered almost 500 tons of pills in the past three Take Back events.
The event will be sponsored by the KU Academy of Student Pharmacists, Peer Health Educators, Student Health Advisory Board, Student Health Services and the Office of Public Safety.

Mad cow disease found in random sample in U.S.
HANFORD, Calif. — A senior manager with a California rendering company said Tuesday a cow at its Hanford, Calif., transfer station tested positive for mad cow disease.
Dennis Luckey, executive vice president of Baker Commodities in Los Angeles, told The Associated Press the disease was discovered after workers selected the cow for random sampling.
The sample was taken from the dead cow's carcass on April 18 at a hide-removal site. he said.
"This animal happened to be one that we randomly selected," Luckey said.
The company does not yet know which farm the cow came from, but the animal never made it to Baker's rendering plant 50 miles away in Kerman, Calif., Luckey said.
On April 19, a lab at the University of California, Davis reported that its test on the sample was inconclusive, he said.
The sample was then sent on to the Agriculture Department, which confirmed on Tuesday that the cow is the fourth discovered in the United States to test positive for the disease.

BP engineer charged in spill
ENVIRONMENT

The Justice Department says the first criminal charges in the Deepwater Horizon disaster have been filed against a former BP engineer who allegedly destroyed evidence. Kurt Mix, of Katy, Texas, was arrested on charges of intentionally destroying evidence. He faces two counts of obstruction of justice. The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, killing 11 men and spewing 200 million gallons of oil.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Federal prosecutors brought the first criminal charges Tuesday in the Gulf oil spill, accusing a former BP engineer of deleting more than 300 text messages that indicated the blown-out well was spewing far more crude than the company was telling the public at the time.
Two years and four days after the drilling-rig explosion that set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, Kurt Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was arrested and charged with two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly destroying evidence.
The U.S. Justice Department made it clear that the investigation is still going on and suggested that more people could be arrested. In a statement, Attorney General Eric Holder said prosecutors "will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history."
Federal investigators have been looking into the causes of the blowout and the actions of managers, engineers and rig workers at BP and its subcontractors Halliburton and Transocean in the days and hours before the April 20, 2010, explosion.
But the case against Mix focuses only on the aftermath of the blast, when BP scrambled for weeks to plug the leak. Even then, the charges are not really about the disaster by us.
Mix
about an alleged attempt to thwart the investigation into it.
In court papers, the FBI said one of the areas under investigation is whether the oil company intentionally lowballed the amount of crude spewing from the well.
In outlining the charges, the government suggested Mix knew the rate of flow from the busted
well was much greater than the company publicly acknowledged.
Prosecutors also said BP gave the public an optimistic account of its May 2010 efforts to plug the well via a technique called a "top kill," even though the company's internal data and some of the text messages showed the operation was likely to fail.
An accurate flow-rate estimate is necessary to determine how much in penalties BP and its subcontractors could face under the Clean Water Act. In court papers, prosecutors appeared to suggest the company was also worried about the effect of the disaster on its stock price.
The charges came a day before a federal judge was to consider granting preliminary approval of a $7.8 billion civil settlement between BP and a committee of plaintiffs.
ment and added: "BP had clear policies requiring preservation of evidence in this case and has undertaken substantial and ongoing efforts to preserve evidence."
The FBI said in court papers that Mix had been repeatedly notified by BP that instant messages and text messages needed to be preserved.
In a statement, BP said it is cooperating with the Justice Depart-
Mix, who resigned from BP in January, appeared on Tuesday afternoon before a judge in Houston, shackled at his hands and feet, and was released on $100,000 ball. His attorney had no comment afterward. If convicted, Mix could get up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.
The engineer deleted more than 200 messages sent to a BP supervisor from his iPhone containing information about how much oil was spilling out, then erased 100 more messages to a contractor the following year, prosecutors said. Some of the messages were later
recovered via forensic computer techniques.
Many of the messages had to do with an effort to plug up the well with heavy mud injected under high pressure.
In public statements, the company professed optimism that the top kill would work, giving it a 60 to 70 percent chance of success.
On the day the top kill began, Mix estimated in a text to his supervisor that more than 15,000 barrels of oil per day were spilling three times BP's public estimate of 5,000 barrels and an amount much greater than what BP said the top kill could probably handle.
At the end of the first day, Mix texted his supervisor: "Too much flow rate — over 15,000 and too large an orifice." Despite Mix's findings, BP continued to make public statements that the top kill was proceeding according to plan, prosecutors said.

Wichita focuses on long-term tornado relief
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — With debris cleanup now in its second week, immediate relief efforts for Kansas tornado victims have been scaled back as disaster help moves into the next stage.
The Small Business Administration began taking applications Tuesday for low-interest federal loans to homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofit groups whose property was damaged or destroyed by the April 14 storms. The SBA loans are available in Sedgwick, Butler, Cowley, Harvey, Kingman, Reno and Sumner counties.
The Wichita Eagle reports that the American Red Cross, Midway-Kansas Chapter, has closed its shelter and fixed feeding site.
"We are working with the people who were affected to find more immediate shelter for them, more transitional and long-term housing," said James Williams, a Red Cross spokesman. "Now we want to encourage people who have been affected to visit us at the Oaklawn Activity Center where we have caseworkers who will listen to their needs and concerns and put them on a clear path to rebuilding their life and getting back to normal."
Cindy Wood is among the
affected Wichita residents. The tornado ripped away the rented mobile home she lived in with her three children and parents in the Pinaire Mobile Home Park.
"It is bumpy right now," she said. "Any place I try and rent is completely out of our price range. Once I stop cleaning up, I've got to go to the Salvation Army to see what they can do to help. The Red Cross gave me a little bit to help with replacing Mom and Dad's meds."
The Salvation Army is also no longer serving hot meals in the area, but has a mobile kitchen traveling through neighborhoods that provides sandwiches, water and snacks for volunteers.
"We have gone into another phase because people — those that still have their homes - have their utilities back on," said Maj. Douglas Rowland, city manager for the Salvation Army. "The immediate needs have been met, and now we look at the longer term."
Meanwhile, the cleanup continues. More than 500 loads of cut-up trees have been taken to Sedgwick County's designated burn pile in Oaklawn.
**Coca-Cola Co. of Brownsville, Texas**
About 1,000 people clean up debris, work on the roofs, test equipment and put some temporary fixes in place Monday so Spirit's 10,800 employees can come back to work. Some production returned Friday. Spirit AeroSystems CEO Jeff Turner said Friday the company is already back online in many departments following the tornado that hit the facility in south Wichita on April 14.

Legislative leaders struggle to redraw political boundaries
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas legislative leaders said Tuesday that work remains on drawing new political boundaries, and they expect several busy and contentious days, if not weeks, as lawmakers prepare for the final push of the 2012 session.
The House and Senate return Wednesday from a three-week break with several major issues to resolve, including work on next year's $14 billion budget and redrawing the state's political
boundaries. The new districts must be completed by May 10 to avoid delays in the June candidate filing deadline and August primary.
"I hope the Legislature will not waste a lot of time in the initial days of the wrap-up session and we'll get right to business," said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. "We have a tendency to sort of procrastinate until we run out of days. I hope that is not the case."
Democratic and Republican leaders said the redistricting work
has become highly partisan but that it needs to be resolved quickly. Lawmakers must redraw the boundaries of the 125 state House districts, 40 Senate districts and four U.S. House districts to reflect changes in population in the 2010 census.
Gov. Sam Brownback said legislators must put resolving redistricting issues "front and center." Both Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Attorney General Derek Schmidt have warned legislators that delays could lead to administrative problems and lawsuits or could force the state to postpone its primary election.
"It's been moving way late, and it's time — past time — to get redistricting done," Brownback said.
House and Senate negotiators are expected to resume talks on proposals to reduce the state income tax for individuals and eliminate the tax for nearly 200,000 businesses. However, legislators have also approved two versions of a plan to share state revenues with local units of government to reduce
property taxes by as much as $180 million over the next four years.
Legislators learned April 13 that the state can expect $252 million more in revenues over the next 18 months as the economy improves. That gives the state more breathing room in the $14 billion budget to restore cuts made in previous years and pay for income tax cuts.
"We have a lot of unresolved issues, but the budget is the highest priority," said Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican.
to seeing income tax cuts passed this session as a means to creating jobs and reviving an economy that has a 6.2 percent unemployment rate.
Brownback remains committed
"We need to get to a pro-growth tax position. We've got the proposal there. It's queued up. It's paid for," Brownback said. "We need to do it, and then we need to get a budget through that takes care of the needs of the state."

Groups raise money with new meters

franker@kansan.com
Repurposed parking meters in the Kansas Union have aided student organizations with funding throughout the semester.
David Mucci, director of Memorial Unions, said he saw another school using refurbished parking meters as a hub for donations and thought University groups could benefit from a similar program here. Mucci said KU Parking donated two meters, which maintenance workers repainted red and blue and placed on stands. The meters still operate as normal, displaying a time limit when coins are inserted and ticking for a few seconds afterward.
"It's an easy way to call funding attention to student groups," Mucci said.
Rebecca Swaringen, business manager for Union Programs, said student groups can reserve the meters for two weeks at a time. She said a group must fill out a contract if it wanted to reserve the
meters. Swearingen said Union Programs did not keep track of the amount of money the meters had generated.
Megan Watson, executive director of KU Dance Marathon, said her group was the first to reserve the parking meters when they
were installed at the end of last semester.She said a student group can benefit from using the parking meters if it has a strong media presence and can advertise the meters well.

CRIME
Jennfier Hudson emotional at trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Jennifer Hudson shut her eyes tight Tuesday, holding still on a spectators' bench, as a police officer at the trial of the man accused of killing three members of the Oscar winner's family described coming across bloodied bodies at the Chicago home where Hudson grew up.
Before prosecutors projected dozens of photographs of her mother sprawled on a living room floor in a blood-soaked, white nightgown and her brother shot through the head on his bed, the 30-year-old singer and actress left the room to avoid having to watch the disturbing images.
On the second day of testimony — a day after Hudson herself offered tearful testimony from the witness stand — prosecutors shifted the spotlight to the crime-scene evidence in the case against her former brother-in-law, William Balfour.
Balfour was estranged from his wife, Hudson's sister, at the time of the killings. He has pleaded not guilty to murdering Hudson's mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew. He sat with his eyes fixed on the murderscene photographs on a screen, but he didn't wince or show other signs of emotion.
Several of the photographs showed Hudson's 57-year-old mother, Darnell Donerson, face down on the floor, a large blood stain where she was shot through the back. Donald Fanselli, the forensics expert who was on the scene that day, testified that Hudson's mother may have used a broom by her hand in one picture in a desperate attempt to fend off the attacker. He raised the broom in court to show to jurors.
Other photos showed Hudson's 29-year-old brother, Jason Hudson, with a gunshot wound near his ear, his head still on his pillow as he lay in bed.
At least one person could be heard sobbing at the back of the courtroom, though it wasn't clear if it was coming from a friend or relative of Hudson's. To spare relatives the trauma, prosecutors often let them know when they will be showing unsettling evidence.
Earlier in the day, Hudson hung her head and closed her eyes as Chicago police Sgt. David Dowling described finding her mother's body in the living room. Dowling described finding Jason Hudson dead in his bed, with the sheets pulled up as if he had been sleeping.
Hudson's sister, Julia Hudson, also left the courtroom before the photographs were displayed on a large screen, though the star's fiance, pro-wrestler David Otunga, stayed.
Jennifer Hudson, wearing a black top, green skirt and kneehigh leather boats, sat in a fourth row bench well within view of jurors for much of the day Tuesday. Most of the time she seemed composed and engaged, leaning forward to get a better look at a witness.
Another officer testified about the frantic search for Hudson's nephew, Julian King, who was found in an SUV three days later. Prosecutors also played a surveillance video showing Balfour getting out of a car at a gas station near the Hudson house on Chicago's South Side before the killings. Prosecutors are trying to show he was in the area at the time — something Balfour has denied.
An auto mechanic who saw Balfour a few hours before the Oct. 24, 2008, triple homicide seemed to surprise prosecutors when he testified he never told a grand jury that Balfour told him he had a gun. Even after his grand jury testimony was read to him from a transcript, he persisted.
"He (Balfour) never said nothing about a gun. He just said he was dirty," Tyrone Dunbar said.
With no surviving witnesses to the murders, prosecutors must offer overwhelming circumstantial evidence that Balfour committed the crime. One challenge will be tying Balfour to the alleged murder weapon, a silver and black .45-calibre handgun.
Prosecutors claim Balfour targeted the family in a horrific act of vindictiveness against his ex-wife. They believe he became enraged by balloons he saw at the home that he thought were from her new boyfriend.
Defense attorneys have said the killing could be connected to alleged drug dealing by Hudson's brother.
Prosecutors contend Balfour went inside the three-story house around 9 a.m. and shot Hudson's mother and brother. Investigators allege he then drove off in Jason Hudson's sport utility vehicle with 7-year-old Julian inside, and later shot the boy in the head as he lay behind a front seat.
Jennifer Hudson took the witness stand for about 30 minutes Monday in sometimes tearful testimony. Hudson, who was in Florida at the time of the shootings, testified that she was dismayed when she learned in 2006 that her sister was going to marry Balfour, whom she said she always disliked.
If convicted of at least two of the murder counts, Balfour would face a mandatory life sentence.

COMMENTARY
Prized high school recruit Tony Parker, a 6-foot-9-inch big man, sat down with three hats in front of him. Georgia, Ohio State and UCLA were represented, but Kansas was not on the table. There was no love for the school that was once thought to be Parker's favorite.
And it's all okay. It's okay that Parker didn't pick Kansas and that, in all likelihood, Kansas' 2012 recruiting class is complete.
Self's recruits capable
Bill Self could still manage a last-minute transfer, such as Xavier point guard Mark Lyons, who has listed Kansas in his top three, along with Kentucky and Arizona. But, it's unlikely he will be a Jayhawk next year. Remember, Arizona coach Sean Miller recruited Lyons to Xavier in the first place.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
So, what now? We wait. We wait to see what 6-foot-8-inch McDonald's All-American forward Perry Ellis and 6-foot-6-inch forward Andrew White can do. And we salivate while waiting to see what 6-foot-5-inch guard Ben McLemore can do.
So, don't fret. Things are looking up for Kansas on the recruiting trail even if the 2012 recruiting period is over.
And if this column hasn't convinced you thus far — if you still think Self needs to recruit better for Kansas to succeed long term — remember, Norm Roberts is replacing Danny Manning as an assistant coach. Roberts is the coach who helped recruit Self's first class at Kansas and his master class at Illinois, which included Dee Brown and Deron Williams.
Edited by Corinne Westeman
Although this year's recruiting period appears to have ended on a whiff, this is not the year to be upset with Self's recruiting prowess, as Kansas fans have been in the past. Even when recruiting is rough, it always seems to work out for Self, and this year, there was nothing coarse about the recruiting period.
Everyone will know his role, once again. It's perfect. In the past, when Self has brought in an eye-widening recruiting class, players often didn't know their roles. They didn't gel like this year's team did, and it's led to early and disappointing downfalls in the tournament.
71 67
Ellis is a likely starter, and at the very least, will be a contributing factor for the team, along with White, who will provide much-needed depth off the bench. Jamari Traylor hasn't even been mentioned. He'll also provide much needed big-man minutes off the bench. (Sorry, Justin Wesley, hope you enjoyed your time on the court this season.) And even the class of 2013 boasts a top player in 6-foot-inch forward Brannen Greene, whose verbal commitment allows Self to spend his energy on other top prospects for next year.
Kansas is one point guard away from having a class that could give them everything they needed. The Jayhawks will have depth next season, but if Self learned anything from this season — and it's a safe bet that he did — he'll use a tighter rotation. This year's class allows him to do just that.

Senior quarterback Dayne Crist was sitting down when he was handed a slip of paper. He wrote the name Tanner Hawkinson on it, folded it to shield his vote and turned it in.
"I didn't want Tanner to know I voted for him," Crist said with a smile.
The team chose its captains for the upcoming season on Monday. There was supposed to be only one offensive player and one defensive player named as captain, but, when it came down to it, the voting was just too close.
On Tuesday, Charlie Weis announced that Crist, senior offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson and senior defensive lineman Toben Opurum will be the Jayhawks' captains next season. There will also be a special teams captain named on a game-by-game basis, based on the top performers from the previous week.
"I couldn't have handpicked three players any better than that," Weis said.
Both Hawkinson and Opurum have already played three years at Kansas, and Crist is a highly touted fifth-year senior who transferred from Notre Dame.
Weis' decision to hold the vote for captains this early in the season is an unusual one. In the past, Kansas has named its captains in August, not April.
"It definitely caught me by surprise," Opurum said. "Usually, we wait until the beginning of the season, so we can see how guys perform during the summer and training camp."
But after running back James Sims was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence and both sophomore linebacker Collin Garrett and red-shirt freshman cornerback Chris Robinson were dismissed from the team for violating rules, Kansas football needed to reinforce its discipline.
So, in May, when most of the coaching staff will be recruiting and Weis will be campaigning to boosters and alumni, the Jay-

our first acclimation period," Weis said. "So I think it's really important, especially for a team to go through a transition, to have some leadership that's been documented."
This will be Opurum's second year as a captain for Kansas, while Hawkinson — who has started all 36 games he's been eligible to
play for Kansas received the position for the first time.
"It's great to think that your teammates vote for you as a captain for the team," Hawkinson said. "It's definitely an honor."

Kansas has chance to redeem itself

Last season, the Kansas State Wildcats ended the Jayhawks' baseball season with a three-game sweep, eliminating Kansas from Big 12 tournament contention.
The Jayhawks (16-25, 4-11 Big 12) will get their first chance at payback this week as they open a four-game homestand against the Wildcats Wednesday.
Left-handed pitcher Wes Benjamin pitches for Kansas during its 5-2 victory against Texas Tech on March 31. Today's game is the only time this season that the Kansas State Wildcats will play in Lawrence.
Wednesday night is K-State's only scheduled visit to Lawrence this season, and the game will not count toward Big 12 standings. Kansas' conference series at K-State is May 11, but a nonconference match-up gives both fan bases a preview of the rivalry. Even though this game lacks the normal implications of Big 12 play, the team sees Wednesday as a chance to make the opening statement.
"They're probably still thinking about last year and how well they did," senior catcher James Stanfield said. "I know this isn't a conference game, but this will be a heads-up to them. We'll get to show them what we will be bringing come conference play."
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
infield rather than a hitting slump. Stanfield hit a number of hard-hit balls up the middle, but Texas' shortstop-second base combination of Jordan Etier and Brooks Matlow covered the ground. Regardless, one play even landed Stanfield a spot on SportsCenter's Top 10 - Kansas baseball's first-ever appearance on the ESPN segment.
"That made James a national star for an evening," coach Ritch Price said.
Freshman pitcher Drew Morovick is slated to start against the Wildcats. Morovick struggled with maintaining his command early in the season, but he has shown improvement as of late. He threw five shutout innings against the University of Saint Mary to improve his season record to 3-1. Coming from Hemet, Calif., Morovick is new to the K-State rivalry, but he doesn't expect that it will take long to get acclimated to the series' intensity.
Stanfield (.300 average) is coming off a two-for-eight weekend at No. 23 Texas, but his numbers are more indicative of the Texas' defensive prowess in the middle
"As a freshman, I'm not exactly sure about the rivalry, but I'm excited to get out there," Morovick said. "I kind of know rivalries, so I think I'll know what to expect."
Morovick is making his first start of the season against a Big 12-caliber opponent, and he will need to replicate the command of his previous two outings to be
successful against the Wildcats.
"He's going to have to command the fastball down in the zone and use both sides of the plate," Price said. "He also needs to continue the improvement of his breaking ball. When he throws it with some depth, it can really be a plus pitch for him. He gets in trouble when he leaves it
up on the zone."
Kansas and K-State have a combined 20 players from Kansas, which could make for a competitive evening at Hoglund Ballpark. With Missouri heading to the Southeastern Conference next season, Price expects to see the rivalry's emphasis shift toward K-State.
"We've always been K-State's rival, but for KU athletes, it's always been about Missouri," Price said. "With Missouri leaving, our rivalry will only be directed towards the Wildcats."

THE MORNING BREW All-Star weekend a chance for KC to shine
To say that I'm obsessed with baseball is an understatement. Just ask anyone who knows me and they will probably tell you there isn't anyone out there who loves the game more than I do.
Every year, I look forward to All-Star weekend.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
It's the only time during the season where everything that has happened on the field up to that point is irrelevant. It's the only time where the fans determine who starts. It's the only time during the season where the best players from all 30 teams put their respective teams aside and play together. Sure, there's home field advantage for the World Series at stake, but apart from that, this game is not a competition.
Why?
For the fans, it's a chance to see some of the most talented players in the league take the same field, wear the same uniform, play for the same team.
For the players, it's a time to relax from the everyday grind that comes with the 162-game season, a time to interact with fans, and a chance for fans to sit with a camera in one hand and their kids beside them.
But this year will be even more special than years past. This year, All-Star weekend will be taking place at our very own Kauffman Stadium. Of course I'm looking forward to the Homerun Derby, the Celebrity Softball game, and the All-Star game, but above that, there's an even bigger reason why this
weekend will be special. It will be a chance for baseball fans from around the country to see what makes not only Kauffman Stadium so special, but what makes Kansas City special. Why, win or lose, fans continue to take pride in their Royals, and why win or lose, they'll always have fans at the ballpark. Most of us have been the ballpark, but I think we sometimes take for granted how beautiful Kauffman Stadium is.
I've been fortunate to visit quite a few ballparks, and having had season tickets to the Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field, it really made me appreciate what a great ballpark we have in Kansas City. Regardless of the outcome of the game, there's always been a great fan base, something that a team like Tampa has never had.
July 6 to 10, Kansas City will welcome fans from every team across the league, both the National and American Leagues. After they feast on some
KU
famous Kansas City barbeque, they can head over to the stadium and soak in the amazing atmosphere that we have been spoiled with all these years. From the freshly cut grass to the fountains in the outfield to the post-game fireworks to the huge, high-definition screen, not much beats watching a ballgame at Kauffman.
Oh, one last thing: Does anyone have an extra ticket?

MEN'S BASKETBALL
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Frank Martin says he didn't 'run' from Kansas State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Frank Martin says he didn't leave Kansas State because of problems with Wildcat officials or administrators, no matter how much some believe that's the main reason he took South Carolina's basketball job.
"I didn't run away from Kansas State," Martin told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Martin has spent the past four weeks since taking over the Gamecocks' program from Darrin Horn setting up his office, meeting current players and recruiting new ones. Still, Martin gets asked too frequently, "Why leave a winning Wildcats program for one that was in last place in the Southeastern Conference?"
"I'm just telling you, (Game-cocks AD) Eric Hyman put his arms around me and it was hard for me not to feel the passion that he had for building the men's basketball program," Martin said. "I've never been through this before."
Since taking over for his mentor Bob Huggins, the 46-year-old coach had rejuvenated Kansas State and put together one of the most successful stretches in the Wildcats' long basketball history. The team had reached four NCAA tournaments in the past five years, including a trip to the round of eight in 2010.
Kansas State athletic director Jim Currie said after Martin's departure he always wanted the coach to be part of the long-term fabric of the school. Martin said there was no rift.
"I was happy there. Obviously, there's a team in place that can challenge for that Big 12 championship" he said. "We left a lot of good behind. You don't do that because you're unhappy."
Martin acknowledged moving to the East Coast makes family life easier. He's got relatives in his hometown of Miami while wife Anya is from New York City.
"We can see them more frequently now" Martin said.
Martin's barely stopped moving since he was introduced to several hundred fans at the Colonial Life Arena on March 27. He's gotten to know current players while he and his staff — Martin brought his assistant coaches from Kansas State — have worked hard to fill a roster that will see plenty of changes from last year's 10-21 debacle.
Forwards Anthony Gill and Damontre Harris, the team's third and fourth leading scorers last year, are transferring while point guard Bruce Ellington again plans to play football and basketball as
"We left a lot of good behind. You don't do that because you're unhappy."
FRANK MARTIN
Current South Carolina coach and former Kansas State coach
he did this past season.
Martin said change brings turnover and he doesn't fault Gill and Harris for doing what they believe is right. What about Ellington's split sports profile? Surely not having his point guard fully locked into basketball from day one is enough to bring out Martin's famous stony star, right?
"Hey, Bruce is fully committed to this university. Someone who sacrifices to play both sports is giving a lot of themselves to make two different programs better, not just one," Martin said. "I look at it that way, I don't look at it a negative way."
Ellington "is going to be part of our success," Martin said. "And it's up to me to manage it."
Martin's been busy finding recruits who want come on board for South Carolina's rise. Martin said he's got several commitments
lined up for the spring, which ends May 16, and he'll announce the group when it's complete. Martin has five scholarships available with the departures of Gill and Harris, plus the cost of Ellington's education being picked up by the football team.
"We'll have 14 scholarship players instead of 13" because of Ellington's status, Martin said. "I can't see that as a bad thing."
Martin's also spent plenty of time visiting fans, boosters and students. He spoke at halftime of the South Carolina's spring football game in front of about 34,000 supporters earlier this month.
"We hired a basketball coach a couple of weeks ago," football coach Steve Spurrier told the crowd. "I believe this man is going to take us places we've never been, Sweet 16s, Elite Eights, Final Fours."
That's Martin's goal, too, although he's not sure how soon that can happen. He and his staff have worked out the players some this month and will do what the rules allow over the next few months. Martin expects to have his recruits in summer school in time to join the returning veterans and give both coaches and players time to bond before the games start.
Martin's enjoying the moments he can as he sets up shop. Duke coach Mike Kzyzewski recently congratulated Martin on his time at Kansas State and offered to anything he could to help him at South Carolina, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive also welcomed Martin to the league family. And then there's the support from Gamecock fans.
Martin said he'd hear how South Carolina fans were dying to win.
"Now, that I've been here for a month, that's clear as day," he said. "Now, we've got to do our part."

Devils force seventh game against Panthers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Travis Zajac scored at 5:39 of overtime and the New Jersey Devils avoided elimination and sent yet another Eastern Conference first-round series to a seventh game with a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.
Steve Bernier and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored and Martin Brodeur made 14 saves for New Jersey, which squandered a two-goal lead and had fans dreading another first-round playoff exit until Zajac scored from the right hand circle.
The shot beat Scott Clemensen to the lower corner and set off a mob scene on the ice.
Clemmensen was outstanding, stopping 39 shots in an emergency start for the injured Jose Theodore. Kris Versteeg and Sean Bergenheim tallied for Florida, which was looking for its first series win since 1996.
Game 7 will be played in Sunrise, Fla., on Thursday.
Two other series in the conference are also headed to Game 7s. Washington will be at second-seeded Boston on Wednesday and Ottawa will be at the top-seeded Rangers on Thursday.
The Panthers had a chance in a scramble in front of Brodeur just before Zajac's goal.
However, Zajac pulled the puck away from the crease and led a rush up ice. Zach Parise took his cross-ice pass and gave the puck to Kovalchuk, who found Zajac skating down the right wing for a shot along the ice into the net
The Devils outshot Florida 42-16 in a game played before a sellout crowd.
Despite being outshot 29-10 in the opening 40 minutes, the Panthers rallied from a 2-0 deficit and entered the third period tied at 2-all.
The remarkable aspect was that the Panthers took only four shots in the second period and tallied on the two of the first three.
Versteeg cut the deficit to 2-1 at 7:05 of the period. Stephen Weiss
centered the puck from along the left sideboards and Versteeg's shot hit off the skate of Devils forward Alexei Ponikarovsky and into the open side of the net. Brodeur never had a chance.
The tying goal came at 12:49 after the referees ignored a slash by Bergenheim that knocked Kovalchuk to the ice. It led to a 4-on-2 rush. Brodeur made the initial stop on a shot from the between the circles by Tyson Strachan, but Bergenheim came late and tucked the rebound into an open net with teammate Marcel Goc hanging on the crossbar.
Kovalchuk gave the Devils a 2-0 lead earlier in the period, slam-dunking a pass from Zaajac into the net with four seconds left on a power play. It was his third goal of the series.
The Devils had a big territorial advantage in the final 10 minutes of the first period and it finally paid off when Bernier beat Clemensen with a bad-angle shot at 16:37 of the period.

Thunder's Cook fills in for Durant late against Sacramento
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant scored 32 points, reserve Daequan Cook had all 19 of his points in the fourth quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 118-110 on Tuesday night to win their first game since top James Harden took an elbow to the head.
each having one game left.
Durant extended his lead in a tight NBA scoring race with the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter in a close game. Durant is averaging 27.97 points per game to Bryant's 27.86 with
Cook filled the scoring void, scoring Oklahoma City's first 14 points of the final period to put the Thunder ahead for the first time since the first quarter.
DeMarcus Cousins, who was allowed to play only after his 13th technical foul was rescinded earlier in the day, led Sacramento with 32 points.
With the Thunder locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, coach Scott Brooks held his starters out in the fourth quarter even though it was a four-point game after three.
Cook wiped away that deficit
immediately with a jumper and a 3-pointer, and ably filled Harden's usual role as the big scorer off the bench. Harden averages 16.8 points, best among NBA reserves.
Harden suffered a concussion Sunday when he was elbowed in the back of the head by the Lakers' Metta World Peace, formerly Ron Artest, and didn't pass league-mandated tests that would have allowed him to return and play. The team has him listed as day-to-day and it's unknown if he'll be ready in time for the start of the playoffs this weekend.
The NBA suspended World
Peace seven games for elbowing Harden.
The Kings were without leading scorer Marcus Thornton for the third straight game with a left quad contusion, and reserve Terrence Williams was out sick.
Travis Outlaw moved into the starting lineup and scored a season-high 20 points — only his fourth game in double figures this season. Jason Thompson scored 22, Tyreke Evans had 18 and Isaiah Thomas 11 as all five Sacramento starters hit double figures.
It still wasn't enough down the stretch.
Royal Ivey put Oklahoma City
ahead to stay with a long jumper from the left side with 3 minutes left, and Cook's 3-pointer in transition extended the lead to 114-107 with 44.9 seconds left. Cole Aldrich hit all four of his free throws to close it out.
Sacramento made 18 of its 22 shots (82 percent) in the first quarter to get out to a 40-35 lead after Isaiah Thomas' buzzer-beating 3-pointer. It was the most points allowed by Oklahoma City in any quarter this season.
The Kings followed that by scoring 10 of the first 12 points in the second quarter to build a 50-37 lead following Jason
Thompson's three-point play, and Sacramento hit the half-century mark less than 15 minutes into the game.
Cousins hit a hook shot and a two-handed slam to get the Kings going again after Oklahoma City had closed to 59-57 at halftime, sparking a 10-0 run that pushed the lead back out to 13.
Oklahoma City then scored the next nine points to close the gap to 77-73 after Durant's 3-pointer.

Jayhawks finish Kansas Relays with victories

The women's team regained its top 10 ranking after an overall impressive performance at the Kansas Relays. It's now ranked No. 7 in the US Track and Field and Cross Country poll.
The men's team also moved into the rankings, at No. 25, thanks to several event wins in its only home meet of the season. The women's team dropped into the eleventh spot last week, while the men's team was unranked for the only week this season.
There are now five Kansas athletes in the top 10 of their individual events, as well as the women's 4x400-meter relay.
That 4x400-relay team has already finished with a time that's fast enough to qualify for the NCAA West preliminary meet in Austin, Texas. On Saturday, the team ran the Kansas Relais record time of 3:31.87 minutes, which is the sixth-fastest time in the NCAA this year. It was not the only 4x400-meter relay team to win though; the men's
team ended the meet with back-to-back Kansas wins, running a time of 3.08.67 minutes.
Junior Andrea Geubelle won the long jump competition with a 6.50-meter jump, the eighth-best jump in the nation thus far. She also showed she has some serious speed on the track with a 100-meter time of 11.72 seconds. That is the third-fastest time on the team behind sophomore Diamond Dixon and junior Paris Daniels.
Her long-jump partner junior Francine Simpson also had success on the track, running in the 4x100-meter relay and winning the event.
Junior Mason Finley won men's shot put at the relays. His throw of 19.89 meters (63.5 feet) is the furthest shot put in the NCAA this season.
Diamond Dixon's 400-meter time of 51.80 seconds at the relays is now the second-fastest in the nation.

Royals lose to Cleveland, tie third-longest losing streak

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Derek Lowe allowed one run over six innings and the Cleveland Indians handed the Kansas City Royals their 12th straight loss, 4-3 on Tuesday night.
The Royals have been outscored 73-44 during the streak, which ties for third-longest in team history. They also lost 12 in a row in 1997 and 2008. Kansas City lost 13 straight in 2006 and had a team-record 19 consecutive losses in 2005.
Cleveland built upon a recently completed 7-2 trip by returning
to Progressive Field and earning their second home win in six games.
Lowe (3-1) gave up eight hits and struck out five. Chris Perez got his seventh save, allowing a ninth-inning run.
Jack Hannahan had a two-run double in Cleveland's three-run fifth against Jonathan Sanchez (1-1).
Beforehand, the Royals continued to try anything to get out of their funk. On Monday, they vented frustrations in a closed-door pregame meeting in which voices were raised in anger. Before opening a three-game series
in Cleveland, players gathered around a clubhouse television to play a baseball video game.
That didn't help, either.
Sanchez hit Indians leadoff batter Jason Kipnis in the hand with his fifth pitch. Kipnis eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Santana to put Cleveland ahead 1-0.
On April 14, Sanchez hit ShinSoo Choo with a pitch. Indians starter Jeanmar Gomez retaliated the next inning by plunking the Royals' Mike Moustakas, leading to a brief bench-clearing scuffle. Gomez drew a five-game suspension and was suspended along
with Hannahan and manager Manny Acta.
A year ago with San Francisco, Sanchez broke Choo's left thumb with a pitch. The Royals acquired him in a trade for outfielder Melky Cabrera in November.
Sanchez walked the bases loaded in the second, but got Kipnis on a first-pitch popout, followed by a double-play grounder by Asdrubal Cabrera.
He also loaded the bases with walks in the fifth. One run scored on a sacrifice fly by Shelley Duncan. Hannahan followed with a double to right-center to make it 4-1 and finish Sanchez.

Jayhawks to host feisty UMKC

The Kansas softball team will use the momentum of its 25-run, 36-hit performance last weekend going into today's doubleheader against the University of Missouri - Kansas City at Arrocha Ballpark
The Jayhawks (28-16, 5-13) split its series with the Kangaroos (19-25, 7-11) last season. Junior outfielder Maggie Hull said she remembers that day, adding "it simply could not happen this time around."
"We're kind of like their World Series; they come in and they want to win so bad," Hull said. "But at the same time, we have to realize those games are equally as important for us. We can't overlook them at all."
Hull's impressive offense continued last weekend with an eight for 11 three-game stretch that extended her current hit-streak to 12 games. Hull now leads the league in batting average .424), hits (61) and is second with 13 doubles.
However, coach Megan Smith said she's not surprised with Hull's remarkable batting average.
"Why not?" Smith said, jokingly. "You could tell me she'd hit 1.000 and I'd believe it."
UMKC, which competes in the Summit League, will try to limit Kansas' offense with two solid pitchers.
Junior Deanna Friese (9-13) leads UMKC with a 3.03 ERA. This year, she's struck out 183 batters in 164 innings and has thrown 17 complete games. Freshman Cinda Ramos (9-11) carries a 3.30 ERA and has pitched 131.1 innings. The two pitchers have worked all but eight innings this season for UMKC, and Smith said she expects a good performance from both.
"They have a really good pitcher who gives us fits every single year," Smith said of Friese. "UMKC is always tough. We always get great games from them. We anticipate seeing both good pitchers in the circle for them."
For Kansas' first baseman, freshman Maddie Stein, the formula for carrying the weekend's momentum into Wednesday is a simple one.
"Good pitching, hitting performances and defensive performances," Stein said of her strategy against UMKC. "Just the routine stuff and playing like we know."
Stein didn't hit a home run all season before facing Iowa State on Sunday. Then, she hit three in
two days. Her .408 batting average is second on the team and she's working on an eight-game hitting streak.
Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (15-9) will also face UMKC for the first time. She threw a onehit, 58-pitch game against Iowa State and said she expects to be ready physically for Wednesday. She may not be familiar with the Kangaroos, but she said she wasn't worried.
"You're a little more sore because you don't get as much of a break." Pille said of competing in midweek games. "But it really doesn't matter who it is because we're going to be great."
The doubleheader begins at 3 p.m. and the second game is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Orioles benefit from Jays' errors

BALTIMORE — Tommy Hunter allowed three hits over six innings. Matt Wieters homered off the glove of left fielder Eric Thames, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Hunter (2-1) allowed one run, walked three and struck out three. The only runner to get past first base against the right-hander was Thames, who hit a long home run in the third inning.
Pedro Strop, the fourth Orioles reliever, pitched the ninth for his first career save. Baltimore's usual closer, Jim Johnson, spent Monday night in a hospital with flulike symptoms and was unavailable, manager Buck Showalter said before the game.
Henderson Alvarez (0-2) took the loss despite allowing only two runs and five hits over seven innings.
With the score tied at 1 in the fourth inning, Wieters hit an opposite-field drive to left that Thames tracked on the run. As
he leaped to make the catch, his upper body hit the wall and the ball bounced off his glove and into the seats.
The Orioles didn't get a runner past first base the rest of the way, but it didn't matter because the Blue Jays were unable to score more than one run for the first time this season.
Toronto was coming off a four-game sweep of Kansas City and looking to improve on its 6-1 road record. Instead, the Blue Jays lost to Baltimore for the third time in four games over a 12-day span after going 12-6 against the Orioles in 2011.
Leadoff batters in an inning were 1 for 19 against Alvarez until Endy Chavez opened the game with a single. The Orioles subsequently loaded the bases with no outs but scored only one run, on a double-play grounder by Adam Jones.
Thames led off the third with his first home run, a shot to right field that landed on Eutaw Street in front of the B&O Warehouse.

Engineering students build cars from scratch during semester

The KU Formula racing team is driven for success. Having worked since August designing and building a race car from scratch, the team will compete in two weeks and introduce its first electric powered vehicle into competition.
"This is definitely a hands-on way to learn the material we use in class," said Cameron Bryant, a junior from Baldwin. "In class we learn the theoretical equations and concepts, but in this project we actually apply them in real life."
The team will travel to Jackson, Miss., during finals week to compete against 120 other teams from around the world. Last year, the team took first in the autocross competition, and ninth overall.
Bryant serves as the Manufacturing Lead for the team, which means he is in charge of the 50 team members and their efforts to machine and assemble parts of the car. Bryant has been on the team for six years, beginning in high school. In the past he had worked at least 20 hours a week on the car, but now that the competition is two weeks away, Bryant and some of the other team members have been putting in more than 100 hours a week.
Trent Strunk, a junior from Silver Lake, is one of the drivers on the team. Strunk said he enjoys the engineering side, but he also enjoys the thrill that comes with the fast paced driving. The car can
accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds, topping out at 65 mph. The car accelerates faster than twice the force of gravity around corners
"Even though 65 miles per hour doesn't seem that fast, when you're scraping by cones it seems like you're doing 150 miles per hour," Strunk said.
Strunk said he knows there is always the potential for danger, mostly from the car catching fire from a fuel leak, but he said he tries not to think about it. The fire-proof gear he wears from the team's sponsor, Sparco, helps to keep him safe while driving the vehicle.
The team is also sending some of its members to New Hampshire to compete in the hybrid competition
with its first ever electric powered vehicle.
Emily Dellwig, a senior from Overland Park, applies her soon to be electrical engineering degree in the designing and construction of the car. Dellwig said she sees the importance of such vehicles because similar alternative energy technology is emerging in the automotive industry.
But more importantly, Dellwig is confident in her team's ability to perform in the competitions.
"We've given up a lot of things in our lives, worked real hard, and it's all going to pay off when we win that trophy," Dellwig said.

Complaints heard at parking forum
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com

Community members voiced their grievances about campus parking last afternoon during an open forum sponsored by the parking commission.
Parking permits and ticket fees most likely will not be increased next year, although the Mississippi street parking garage hourly rate will increase from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour as part of a two year increase plan that is already in place, said Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit. Hultine answered questions along with Angela Lumpkin, chair of the parking commission and a sports and exercise science professor.
Terese Thonus, director of the University writing center, asked that the department reconsider the parking situation created when sporting events coincide with weeknight classes. Thonus said that thousands of students are enrolled in classes that meet in the evening.
To maintain its membership in the Association of America Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), the University must increase undergraduate student retention and degree completion which is hindered by the difficulty of parking on campus during games, Thonus said. She also proposed a solution that would reserve campus lots for students and faculty and require game attendees to the park in Park and Ride lots and be shuttled to Allen Fieldhouse
"The fact that the University permits this preemption sends a strong message to KU constituents that athletics trumps academics during a time when the University is struggling to maintain its position as an AAC&U member," Thonus said.

but currently students and faculty are only allowed to park in a few designated lots on game nights, which makes it harder for students to find available spaces.
John Mullens, a retired public safety director with the police department, speaks during the meeting. Mullens was displeased free parking for KU retirees wasn't available.
"For the 30 years that I've been here, that has been the battle," said
Hultine said she would provide more information on the specific challenges of accommodating game night parking for those attending
games and faculty and students who need access to campus, but that changing the entire parking scheme would be very difficult.
Other attendees raised concerns

Conference gives Model UN students leadership practice
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Students in the University's Model United Nations group spent the better part of a semester studying a country most people have never heard of.
Earlier this month, 15 members of the organization traveled to New York for an international Model UN conference where they had to assume the role of foreign leaders for the African country of Mauritania and work with other representatives to develop resolutions to global problems like clean water supplies and women's health, just as real UN does.
The journey to get to there started at the beginning of the year. Although some money was provided by the Multicultural Education Fund, students also worked at four football games and every home basketball game to raise money for the trip, which costs $900 per person, said Jessica Brooks, a senior from Rich Hill, Mo., and the president of the organization.
Then came the intensive research needed to fully understand and accurately represent the country's policy interests. Brooks estimates she spent 50 hours learning about Mauritania.
All the hard work paid off when the students went to the conference in New York, said Joey Hentzler, a freshman from Topeka and Model UN's vice president. 5,000 students attended the conference, half of whom were from foreign countries.
"It's a cultural experience, an eye opener," Hentzler said.
Learning to assume the role of a diplomat was valuable to Ashton Adams, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., who hopes to become a foreign service officer after college. But trying to stay true to her assigned country's values was a challenge while participating in a committee about women for Adams, who said she is very passionate
"Mauritania is a very male dominated society," Adams said. "It was kind of tough when people would ask us questions about our country's personal feelings and they weren't the most positive."
about women's rights.
Next year, the organization is hoping to give back to the Lawrence community more by holding a conference for high school Model UN groups, hosting an international focused event with other student organizations. They also hope to attend another major conference. Until then, they have the memories of their New York trip to enjoy.
"I tried other groups and I'm still getting involved, but this is the one that I really jumped into." Hentzler said.
"When it came time to propose the resolution we had been working on all week, our resolution passed," Adams said. "I felt so proud, almost like I'd actually done something for the world. It was a really great moment."
For Hentzler, the organization was a way to get involved and meet people in his first year at the University.
It was a lesson in translating what she's learned about diplomacy and theory into the real world, Adams said.

about charging retirees for permits and the number of parking places accessible to visitor's riding motorcycles.
"I think we became really close this year with all the hard work we had to do at the concessions," Brooks said.
The conference also provided an opportunity for American students to see how international students approached issues differently. Adams said that Americans tended to look at issues from an emotional perspective, like fostering community discussion, whereas German students emphasized technical approaches, like creating a board to evaluate the medical economy of different regions throughout the world.

Questions and comments could also be submitted anonymously or via email, and many included complaints about parking issues that have easy solutions.

Kansas engineers win ethics award
Kansas electrical engineers brought home awards this past weekend from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Region 5 Annual Conference held in Tulsa, Okla. against more than 20 other university teams.
Jalashree Mehta, a junior from Mumbai, and Luke Ezell, a junior from Leavenworth, in electrical engineering, took first place in the Student Ethics event. Mehta and Ezell were presented a hypothetical ethics case, in which they presented an ethical solution. Their proposal was given the top prize by a panel of judges, and earned them a $500 prize.
POLITICS
Brady Maasen and Meghna Eluganti, seniors in electrical engineering, took fourth place in the Circuit Design competition. Maasen and Eluganti designed a circuit that worked in theory, but had issues in practice. However, the design kept them in the top tier of the competition.
"I am extremely happy that both our teams have done so well at the conference, and hope this generates more interest among EECS students to get involved with KU IEEE," said Mehta.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — In the state that began his White House march, President Barack Obama looked every bit the campaigner Wednesday as he told supporters that "Iowa always feels like home to me."
With a focus on student loans, he rallied young people during his third visit to a university campus in two days and said keeping college affordable "is at the heart of who we are."

Obama, who was born in Hawaii and hails from Illinois, made his comment about the at-home feeling of Iowa to hundreds of people crammed into an overflow room before his speech.

Pakistan launches missile capable of carrying warhead
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan successfully launched an upgraded ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead Wednesday, days after its neighbor and archenemy India conducted its own missile test, the Pakistani military said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Hatt IV Shaheen-1A missile was fired into the sea, the military said in a written statement.
It was described as an intermediate-range missile having a longer range than its predecessor, the Shaheen-1, which is believed to fly up to 465 miles.
If the Shaheen-1A is indeed an intermediate-range missile, it would represent a quantum leap from the previous version. Pakistan's longest range missile before Wednesday's launch was believed to be the Shaheen II, with a range of 1,240 miles. That is far enough to hit targets anywhere in India.
"The improved version of Shaheen-IA will further consolidate and strengthen Pakistan's deterence abilities," said Lt. Gt. Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, who witnessed the launch and is responsible for the country's nuclear program.
Intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a range of 1,865 to 3,110 miles, according to the website GlobalSecurity.org.
India announced last Thursday that it had successfully test-launched a new nuclear-capable, long-range missile, the Agni-V, which has a range of 3,100 miles.

North Korea has capability of building stronger weapons
PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea is armed with "powerful modern weapons" capable of defeating the United States, a top military chief in Pyongyang said Wednesday, a claim that matches the country's regular rhetoric but is questioned by experts.
Washington worries about the possibility that North Korea might develop a reliable intercontinental ballistic missile and a nuclear bomb small enough to use as a payload.
But outside experts believe that is still a long way off.
North Korea has enough plutonium
for about four to eight "simple" bombs, according to estimates by scientist Siegfried Hecker of the Center for International Security and Cooperation, but it doesn't yet appear to have the ability to make bombs small enough to mount on a missile.
Ri Yong Ho, who is chief of the army's general staff, emphasized the importance of strengthening the military to defend North Korea against threats it sees from the United States and South Korea. He called his nation a nuclear and military power and praised new leader Kim Jong Un, believed to be in
his late 20s, as a "military strategist" who has been giving the army guidance for years.
"The Korean People's Army is armed with powerful modern weapons ... that can defeat the (U.S.) imperialists at a single blow," he told party and military officials, using familiar descriptions of the country's rivals.
Ri did not provide further details about North Korea's weapons, but his call to arms comes as the United States, Britain and others warn the North against provocations that would further heighten tensions.

The motion to limit Ugandan president's term might fail
NAIROBI, Kenya A bid to limit the tenure of Uganda's longtime president looks set to fail, Ugandan politicians said Wednesday, as ruling party officials argue he needs more time than the 26 years he has already served.
But critics and opposition politicians say the ruling party's reluctance to limit President Yoweri Museveni to two more terms is a sign he is interested in ruling for life. Museveni originally seized power in the East African nation in 1986. His term ends in 2016.
Presidential spokesman Tamale Mirundi said those who want Museveni gone are merely afraid to
compete with him. He said Museveni had brought peace and prosperity to Uganda.
He said: "Why should I remove the padlock that has protected my house in a neighborhood where there are robbers?"
Museveni removed the two-term limit in 2005, a year before he sought his third term. He said the limits were an obstacle to demo-
racy since he was still popular among Ugandans.
Museveni
"The question of term limits is quite important because Uganda has never seen a peaceful transfer of power," said Frederick Semppeba, a Kampala-based constitutional lawyer who in 2001 led a review of the constitution that preserved term limits. "Our fear is that if this president goes on and on you never know what will happen. There may not be a smooth transition."
SOUTH AMERICA
Museveni is now one of Africa's longest-serving rulers. Only four have been around longer: Paul Biya of Cameroon, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola and Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea.
BRASILIA, Brazil Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday three Marines on a U.S. Embassy security team and one embassy staff
Three members of security team and one US Embassy staff member punished after dispute with Brazilian prostitute
member were punished for allegedly pushing a prostitute out of a car in Brasilia late last year after a dispute over payment.
Panetta, speaking to reporters in
Brasilia, says the Marines were pulled out of the country. Two had their ranks reduced. The embassy staffer was removed from his post.
Panetta said he had "no tolerance
for that kind of conduct."
"Where it takes place you can be sure that we will act to make sure that they are punished and that that kind of behavior is not acceptable," he said.
According to a defense official, "there were at least two women with the Marines outside a nightclub." The official said it appears that one of the women started a fight in a vehicle.
then she was removed from the car and when she tried to re-enter fall to the ground and was injured. The official also said that no charges were filed by Brazilian authorities.

The Kardashian family signs a new TV deal
LOS ANGELES — E! thinks there's even more to keep up with. The network confirmed Tuesday the Kardashian family has signed a three-year deal with it.
The pact gives viewers three more seasons of the network's flagship "Keeping With With the Kardashians," taking the show into Season 9. The deal covers the entire Kardashian litter, including those who don't boast the last name formally. Kim Kardashian, Courtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian Odom, Rob Kardashian, Bruce Jenner, Kristen Kerr, Kendall Kennel and Kylie Jenner

with Fox to continue on as host of "American Idol." Seacrest has yet to finalize an agreement covering the three years "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" will remain on the air, but likely will as part of an upcoming agreement with E!'s parent company, NBCUniversal.

It's only logical that E! would aim to keep the celebrity family on its roster. "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has produced hit spinoffs for the network, including "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" and "Khloe and Lamar," which is currently airing. The most recent season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" averaged more than 3 million viewers — a far cry from the less than 1 million it garnered for its premiere when it launched in 2007.

SEATTLE — "It's really exciting, intense, nerve-wracking and wonderful—like it's supposed to be," says the infectiously enthusiastic bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding of her life since winning a Grammov last year.
Grammy winner enjoys new fame
4/26
Spalding, whose thrilling new album "Radio Music Society" (Heads Up) came out Tuesday, is having a good time with success. But it's not the trappings she likes
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
MUSIC
such as the fashion shoot she did last year for The New York Times style magazine cover -but the opportunities it affords, such as the luxury of traveling with 12 musicians.
"I don't like putting on makeup and having my picture taken," says the diminutive, photogenic bassist with the double-wide, gaptoethot smile and exploding Afro. "But I do love what it does, like making it more likely we can fill a venue. And I'm grateful."
Raised in Portland and catapulted from student to professor at Boston's Berkley College right after she graduated, the 27-year-old approaches music with supple technique and an open mind. Her new album laces soulful funk and pop with the moving parts of jazz.
The opener, "Radio Song," sets the tone, conjuring the ecstasy of singing along with a new hit on the car radio, even before you know all the words. That sense of discovery imbues the album, as Spalding tumbles forward, often on electric bass, navigating the unexpected twists and turns of her arrangements for horns, synthesizers and, on one song, an African lute. Spalding's songs spill out in long, talky lines.
"I usually write a melody first," she says. "When I'm writing, I don't know the words. Writing for me is very painstaking. It doesn't just flow."
"Radio Song" has a nice hook— appropriately enough, since its subject is the catchy part of a tune you can't help singing along with. "Crowned and Kissed," a sensual, up-tempo romance with a horn fanfare, also has an irresistible
repeated figure. But some of Spalding's songs meander and are carried by the energy and drive of her playing.
“Where’s the hook? — that’s what the label asked, too!” she says, laughing. “I don't think about a hook. If it happens, cool. If it doesn't, I'm not going to barge into what is already existing and cram a hook into it. It's got to happen naturally.”
Spalding's rejection of artifice reflects her jazz background, but the social engagement of her lyrics sets her apart from the too-often-rarefied world of her jazz brothers and sisters. On "Black Gold," she advises a young African American to take pride in himself, even when assaulted by negative messages.
Spalding, who is part Latino, says she felt a lot of "positive reinforcement" growing up, but that it's often missing for boys.
"There needs to be a positive guidance for boys, when they become teens," she says. "For white men, too. To try to instil a sense — 'I'm of value, just because I am.'"
On "Land of the Free," Spalding sings about Cornelius Dupree, a man held 30 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. "Endangered Species" (premiered on Earth Day) decries environmental degradation. Spalding makes a point of mentioning she will be wearing a different "sustainable" (eco-friendly) gown every night on her tour.
Her relentlessly positive outlook — some would call it naively idealistic, but it's undeniably refreshing — draws people to her, often for reasons she finds difficult to understand.
"Some night when we've just played our asses off, someone will come up and say, 'Man, your arms are so sexy.' I try to be nice. But it makes me feel like I'm a spectacle."
But such are the wages of fame.
"I just hope people are able to perceive what we're putting out there — so much beauty to share, with loving, sincere, truthful intention in every note we're playing" she says. "That's what you're paying for."
MOVIES
Director's framing could change films
LAS VEGAS — Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" is preparing to leave the shire.
The director of the Oscar-winning "Lord of the Rings" trilogy previewed 10 minutes of assorted footage Tuesday from his upcoming prequel.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," was filmed in New Zealand using more frames per second than the Hollywood standard. Jackson said in a video introduction that using 48 frames per second produces a smoother image.
The movie could usher in a new era of filmmaking and require film houses across the globe to embrace digital technology.
"The movement feels more real." Jackson said while introducing his film at the CinemaCon convention for theater owners on the Las Vegas Strip. "It's much more gentle on the eyes."
Jackson said the human eye no longer sees individual pictures under the faster speed, but a steady stream of clear images.
Indeed, the footage was vivid,
with grass blades, facial lines and
soaring mountains appearing luminous and pronounced. The actors looked almost touchable, as if they were performing on stage.
It's unclear what the final product will look like when it's released in December. Jackson said he was still editing the movie and the shared footage included green screens that will eventually be used to add in scenery, action or special effects.
Other digital pioneers are making the same push for higher film speeds. "Avatar" creator James Cameron has promised to shoot the sequel to his science-fiction blockbuster at 48 or 60 frames a second.
Jackson warned the new approach would take time to adjust to. Some bloggers agreed, quickly branding the footage released Tuesday as a failure in digital technology. The critics claimed the unfinished scenes looked like a low-budget TV show.
British actor Martin Freeman stars as Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit who acquires the evil ring that sets the action of "The Lord of the Rings" in motion.
The footage showed Baggins lost in Gollum's cave. Andy Serkis' portrayal of the strange creature known for his "precious" obsession and speaking in the third person is just as disturbing as it was in the trilogy, with Baggins forced to appeal to Gollum's love of games to survive.
Ian McKellen, repriming the role of the wizard Gandalf, persuades Baggins to leave the shire and join him on his journey. The footage of the hobbit's hometown is stunning, with each color having almost a neon glow.
There were other brief snippets of story. Orlando Bloom, as the elf Legolas, was shown with his character's flowing, blonde hair. McKellen toured an ancient tomb that he surmised once housed someone evil. Trolls engaged in battle.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is the first chapter in Jackson's two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic.

Kansas should be a better red state
POLITICS
Last week, the Wall Street Journal ran an interview with Joel Kotkin, a leading U.S. demographer, Professor of Urban Studies, and self-described Truman Democrat about the mass exodus of people from California in the last two decades. Kotkin argued that "Californians are now voting more based on social issues and less on fiscal ones than they did when Ronald Reagan was governor 40 years ago." and that progressive economic policies have caused the state's decline. It reminded me of a theory I had heard about Kansas.
After high school I left my conservative bastion in Wichita to attend college in big city on the east coast. As a Republican from Kansas, I expected a culture shock and knew I would be in the political minority. What I did not expect was how much I was going to learn about my home state. In my political science classes, I frequently had to
discuss Thomas Frank's infamous 2004 book "What's the Matter with Kansas?" where the author argues that conservatives in Kansas and other red states have used divisive social issues to gain power and then impose economic policies detrimental to the interests of their socially conservative constituents.
Many of my northeastern liberal friends (and those here with that "Kansas: as bigoted as you think" bumper sticker) really believe we are a state filled with gun-happy religious zealots who still believe the earth is flat. I pity them because they have either not experienced or have failed to appreciate what a great state this is. It is a place that values faith, family, and freedom. But it's not right for everyone. Kansas is not California or New York and I am perfectly content with that.
By Christian Corrigan
cccorrigan@kansan.com
The genius of federalism is that it allows states to be "laboratories of democracy," forcing them to compete with one another to
attract businesses and residents. The California experiment, like Greece, has failed miserably and is a prime example of the follies of runaway entitlements, powerful public sector unions, and high taxes. Meanwhile, the conservative states chastised by Mr. Frank and others seem to be flourishing.
Just examine the results from the 2010 census. Which states had the greatest percentage of population growth from 2000-2010? Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. Which states lost the greatest
percentage of their populations during that time? Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, and Michigan. And for the first time ever, California will not gain a Congressional seat after this census. We can all agree Kansas has much more in common with the former group than the latter.
So why are people moving out of blue states and into red states? Because they desperately need a safe place to hate gays and hide from abortion while getting robbed economically as Mr. Frank suggests? I doubt it. They relocate because low taxes, less government spending, and less regulation mean more jobs and a better quality of life.
What is really the matter with Kansas is that we have not been enough like our fellow red states over the past decade. In 2009, the Tax Foundation scored Kansas as having the 19th highest tax burden in the country. Blue states in worse shape than Kansas, such as
New Jersey (1st) and Wisconsin (4th), began the arduous process of fixing their fiscal situations after the 2010 elections. Even California, the gold standard of progressive government, was forced to implement radical austerity measures to close its $24.5 billion shortfall in 2011.
Governor Brownback recognized this and has proposed an overhaul of our tax system headlined by the eventual elimination of the personal income tax. The plan has stalled during this session and is opposed by Democrats and many of the moderate Republicans in the Senate. Kansas has an important choice to make at this critical juncture. We can continue to idle along as jobs and people flock to Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida or we can throw our hat in the ring and begin to compete.

RELATIONSHIPS
How to let go of 'the one who got away' and move on
Another year is nearly over, and that means another year of hookups, breakups and makeups. A lot can happen over a year in a dating life, and many of us may have a little more baggage this year than we did last.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
Often, the worst kind of baggage is what we get from the one who got away. It's baggage like no other, and as we may find, it can be extremely difficult to shake. Letting go of it can take years.
This past February marked the four-year anniversary of the most devastating breakup I've ever experienced. I'd never been hurt like that before, and I haven't felt that kind of pain since.
When I dated my first love I was a senior in high school, and he was a sophomore at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The distance between us spanned over 900 miles, but when we exchanged our first "I love you," there was nothing distant about it.
We soon became serious, and he applied to transfer to the University and was accepted. He had ties in the Midwest from previously living in Kansas, so he had a support system here. We talked about it for months, and I revealed in the idea of finally being physically together that next school year.
But I noticed around Valentine's Day that year he seemed to be acting strange. Six days later, he said he couldn't afford to transfer and pay out-of-state tuition, and then it was over.
When he dumped me, my heart shattered. My self-esteem went with it, and I was vulnerable.
It took a long time to pick up the pieces, and sometimes the
memory of that pain and how happy I was during the relationship still burns in my heart. It was the most innocent love I've ever experienced because it was baggage-free, and my whole heart was devoted to our future.
I stopped talking to him about a month after our split so my wounds could heal. It was difficult, but I figured if I wanted to get over him I needed to cut the ties between us.
With that, I unfriended him online, took a deep breath, and solemnly deleted his number from my phone. We stopped talking for about four months then began again right before I moved to Lawrence to start college.
Since then I have remained in contact with him. We aren't buddy-buddy, but we text sometimes and Skype occasionally. Sometimes the issue can still be touchy with me, but it doesn't sting like it used to.
But in cases when those breakups are more recent, dealing with them takes more than a trip to Orange Leaf and venting to our friends. Once our commitment to the one who got away is gone, we need to make a commitment to ourselves.
When we are dumped and rejected in these situations, there is no more important time to be
selfish. It is imperative that we do what we want, we do things that make us happy, and we start personal long-term projects we know we can finish.
In the process we become preoccupied and remain focused on what will make us happy and stop considering the one who got away to be a part of that. In mind of that, though, we have to remember that what we replace our lost love with needs to be something productive, like an art project or seeing a therapist who can help in the coping process.
In dealing with the one who got away, we must be proactive. We must always allow ourselves time to grieve, but we also need to take the initiative to start picking up the pieces ourselves. Turning to others for help can generally yield good results, but we need to take the first step ourselves to begin that process.
Getting over the one who got away is a feat like no other, and because not everyone can relate, dealing with it can be a really drawn-out process that can make us feel isolated. It can take weeks, months, or years.
However, if we allow ourselves grieving time and are proactive in being able to stand back up and mend our own hearts, we'll be able to check our baggage at the door when we enter our next relationships.
The first cut is always the deepest, but it if we take the time to be a little selfish after the fact, we can make a full recovery.

New show 'Girls' is highly relatable
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
On April 15, 2012 HBO premiered a new series titled "Girls." The plot of the show revolves around Hannah: a recent college graduate who is living in New York City as a struggling writer whose parents have just pulled the rug out from under her by stopping to support her financially.
The first I heard of this show was a few days after its premier when I noticed the title on my HBO on demand. The characters are young adults, in their midtwenties, who recently graduated college, and who are struggling to find ways to support themselves even with that college diploma. I felt we had some similar qualities, as I soon will be joining the recent graduated from club college.
I watched the pilot episode and while reading the credits it said that the show was created, written, and directed by Lena Dunham (also, it is produced by Judd Apatow, i.e., "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Pineapple Express"). Then I discovered she also is one of the lead characters in the show. After some more Googling, I also found out she wrote, directed, and stared in a film called "Tiny Furniture," where, in a loosely similar plot, she moves back in with her mother and younger sister after graduating college and as she tries to figure out what she is going to do with her life.
I know that this show might not be fully intended for a twenty-four year old male, with a cast of four main female characters, but I could not stop watching the episode. I watched it a total of three times. Lena Dunham is becoming quite successful and we are the same age, not to mention her character, Hannah, in the show is the female version of me (something that is kind of creeping me out). I couldn't seem to figure out what intrigued me so much about
Dunham, so I decided to watch the Girls pilot episode two more times and I think I figured it out.
The shows dialogue has this cerebral intellectual New York speak, which is hilarious. As Hannah and her friend Ray talk about her trying to find a job, she protests about getting a job at a demeaning place like McDonalds
"What's wrong with McDonalds? You should work for McDonalds... They make an incredible product. It's affordable, it's delicious, plus I can walk into one in Nigeria... and you know what it is going to taste like. It is going to taste like home."
As Hannah replied, "That doesn't mean I have to work there. I went to college."
I feel that is the same attitude I have, as I am soon to graduate. That with this piece of paper I am too good to work at McDonalds, not to mention I have no desire to ever work in the restaurant industry again, but what I have come to learn is that I am not the only English major with a desire to write the next great American novel, or even a mediocre television show.
There have been many negative reviews on how the show is merely about four spoiled white girls who live in New York City. However, even if that is the case, the dialogue and humor is much more sophisticated then the majority of comedy television series, e.g., "Two Broke Girls."
The main argument against the show is that they are just spoiled rich white girls, but I disagree that, that makes it a bad show. I think that it is especially related to college students and/or recently graduated students and maybe that is why some people don't like or understand the show. For example, as a twenty-four year old college student I have not met anyone who watches "Two and A Half Men." There will always be critics, and Twitter users, who dislike a certain show, but don't let that turn you away from "Girls." There is far more beneath the surface than rich white girl problems.

Gingrich focuses support on Romney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Newt Gingrich began taking steps Wednesday to shut down his debladen White House bid, setting the stage to endorse one-time rival Mitt Romney next week and rally Republicans behind their apparent nominee.
contests in five states.
Gingrich had a friendly telephone conversation Wednesday with Romney and had started planning an event where he would throw his support behind the likely nominee, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said. The pair agreed to work together to unite conservatives against President Barack Obama.
"It's clear Romney is the nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama. We should not focus on defeating ourselves." Gingrich told disappointed supporters in Kings Mountain, N.C., the morning after Romney tightened his grip on the nomination by sweeping primary

Republican presidential candidate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich speaks in Cramerton, N.C., Wednesday, April 25.
Gingrich also telephoned Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and supporters, such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in states with upcoming primaries to inform them of the decision he had been hinting at for days.
Gingrich had been under pressure for some time to leave the race and clear a path for Romney.
Gingrich declined to comment when asked about his plans multiple times during the Kings Mountain stop.
"You have to at some point be honest about what's happening in the real world as opposed to what you would like to have happened," he told supporters at a suburban Charlotte, N.C., restaurant.
"There seems to be a general acknowledgment that the process has moved to that stage," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with the president.
Gingrich's campaign tested conventional wisdom from the beginning. Could the 68-year-old grandfather — a politically divisive figure shamed by an ethics probe and subsequent reprimand, pushed out of congressional leadership and saddled with marital scandal — find acceptance among cultural conservatives?
As the White House ratchets up its focus on Romney, Gingrich will shift to helping Republican candidates across the country, paying off more than $4.3 million in campaign debt and rebuilding his reputation among conservatives.
His campaign was full of contradictions. He pointed to his 20 years as a congressman from Georgia, including four as House speaker, and claimed a political kinship with President Ronald Reagan. Yet he also contended to be an outsider and anti-establishment candidate.
While arguing for a less-intrusive federal government and dramatically
lower spending and taxes, he promoted programs and initiatives with murky price tags, including establishing a colony on the moon
and allowing younger workers to have private retirement accounts backed by the government.

Thousands protest changes to Medicaid program
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A Republican leader and frequent ally Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday that he'll try to delay part of the GOP governor's plan to overhaul the state's Medicaid program, and several hundred people rallied at the Statehouse to protest changes for the developmentally disabled.
Developmentally disabled Kansas residents and advocates leave personal items on the south stops of the Statehouse to protest part of Gov. Sam Brownback's plan to overhaul the state's Medicaid program in Topeka on Wednesday.
House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid confirmed he is drafting a proposal to exclude long-term services for the developmentally disabled for a year from Medicaid contracts Brownback's administration plans to issue this summer. The contracts will turn the $2.9 billion-a-year program over to three private, managed-care companies, starting Jan. 1, 2013.
AP PHOTO
Siegfreid, an Olathe Republican,
said he'll offer his proposal this
week as an amendment to the state budget. It will allow pilot projects to test whether a managed-care program can deliver long-term services to the developmentally disabled. Advocates for the disabled have been the most vocal critics of Brownback's efforts to overhaul Medicaid, which covers medical services to the poor, needy and disabled.
Brownback's office did not immediately respond to Siegfreid's proposal, but it has said the overhauled Medicaid program — to be called KanCare — will better coordinate care for participants, improving their long-term health. The administration also has said the overhaul will reduce the state's costs and savings are crucial because the federal government, facing its own budget problems, is likely to cut its Medicaid fundine.
Most of the 387,000 Kansans receiving state medical assistance are covered by managed care though private contractors, but the Medicaid overhaul is the first time the state has tried to include relatively expensive, long-term care for the disabled and the elderly, including those in nursing homes. Under Siegfried's plan, the state would "carve out" long-term services for the developmentally disabled until 2014.
Some members of the Republican-controlled Legislature agree, particularly Brownback's fellow GOP conservatives, and they've blocked efforts to tinker with the overhaul.
Participants in Wednesday's rally left personal items on the Statehouse's south steps in a temporary display to urge Brownback to change his plans and persuade
legislators to intervene.
The administration has said repeatedly that the Medicaid contracts will require the companies to
work through providers of services for the developmentally disabled and won't allow the contractors to cut payments to providers.

A federal judge previously denied a request to block military discharge proceedings against Stein, who called Obama an enemy on Facebook.
U. S. District Judge Marilyn Huff ruled then that the military has the right to respond to Stein's online comments in a case that has called into question the Pentagon's policies regarding social media and the limits regarding the speech of active duty military personnel.
Attorney J. Mark Brewer told Huff the entire process violates the First Amendment, which federal courts have the right to uphold.
Huff disagreed, calling Stein's postings "truly troubling." Service members have had their speech limited since the Civil War, especially if their comments are believed to disrupt good order and discipline.
The judge pointed out Stein's March 1 comments on a Facebook page used by Marine Corps meteorologists in which the sergeant stated, "Screw Obama and I will not follow all orders from him."

Fears of copycat crimes after trial in Poland
Rehring Breivik raises a right-wing salute during his trial in Poland. Breivik's trial has raised questions about media access to trials over crimes that were committed in the name of religion or politics
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WARSAW, Poland — As Anders Behring Breivik has given shocking and remorseless accounts to a Norwegian court of how he massacred 77 people, his testimony has revived a debate about how much of a public platform mass-murderers should be given in trials.
Such atrocities, after all, are often waged for attention and carried out in the name of political or religious goals, and a trial gives perpetrators more of what they crave: a huge audience.
In the worst case, there is a risk that Breivik's trial, during which he has raised a right-wing salute and gloated over his killing rampage, could spawn copycat crimes by others who share his hatred of Muslims.
"There is a contagion effect that one has to take into consideration," said Brigitte Nacos, a Columbia University professor who studies terrorism and the mass media.
Col. Zbigniew Muszynski, the head of Poland's Counterterrorism Center, said security experts believe there have already been violent acts inspired by Breivik, including an Italian extremist's killing of two African immigrants in Florence late last year.
"There is always the potential danger that someone who hasn't been exposed to extremist propaganda could become interested in it and could undertake activity that is in violation of the law," Muszynski said.
Democracies generally tend to give suspects in even the most horrific crimes the chance to speak out freely in court, though sometimes they place limits on what can be broadcast to a wider public.
When Serbian autocrat Slobodan Milosevic went on trial in The Hague on war crimes charges, he tried to use the court as a pulpit to defend policies that led to the Balkan wars of the 1990s and to rouse nationalists back home.
The court closed his sessions several times when his rhetoric reached fever pitch, though by then
m times when his rhetoric reached fever pit, though by then — with Milosevic's rivals holding power in Serbia — his words had little impact on the political situation in his homeland.
Peruvian courts silenced Abimael Guzman, the founder of the once-fearsome Shining Path guerrilla group, during a series of trials after his 1992 capture.
His sessions were mostly held behind closed doors with journalists watching from a soundproof booth. Microphones were shut off during a 2004 trial, when he was given a chance to speak, and used it to declare: "Long live the Communist Party of Peru! Glory to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism! Glory to the Peruvian people!"
In Breivik's case, there's a strong sense among Norwegians that the public has a right to know as much as possible about the killing rampage.
The court has allowed reporters to cover the grisly details of Breivik's testimony over the past week-and-a-half. But it has also tried to deny Breivik excessive publicity: Photos for the most part are allowed only at the start of sessions, and filming during his testimony has been mostly restricted.
Even so, some Europeans say their gut reaction is that it's too much coverage. They have been horrified by images splashed across newspapers of Breivik making a defiant fisted salute and reports of his bloodcurdling admission of his crimes.
"The trial should have been kept secret or at least behind closed doors and the court should only issue a statement with the verdict," said Malgorzata Rogala, a 50-year-old translator in Poland, where courts sometimes limit media coverage in sensitive cases. "It is an insult to the families of the victims and publicity he does not deserve."
But some legal scholars argue that true openness is essential, if only to prevent conspiracy theories. And public trials are a bedrock of democracy that experts say must be allowed in most cases.
"The underlying human rights dimension of this is that public trials have a very central place in the consciousness of the community," said Mike Newton, a law professor at Vanderbilt University. "And so the presumption should be an open trial unless there is clear evidence that what goes on in the courtroom is just an extension of hostilities."
Newton, co-author of "Enemy of the State: The Trial and Execution of Saddam Hussein," argues that Saddam's trial is a case where there would indeed have been good argument for a closed trial because the deposed Iraqi dictator used his testimony — broadcast on Iraqi television — to encourage the ongoing insurgency.
Perhaps ironically, some extremists who carry out horrific attacks to make a political point reject the opportunity to speak out in court.
who acted out of hatred for the U.S. government when he bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people. Defense attorneys feared that if McVeigh testified, it would open him up to too many questions from prosecutors about his role in the bombing.
McVeigh's distrust of the government might have also played a role in his refusal to testify, but he later worked with a biographer to tell his side of the story, and he appeared to welcome the attention he got before he was executed in 2001.
"Timothy McVeigh got a lot of mail when he was on death row. Some people were supportive, and he even got marriage proposals," Nacos said. "McVeigh died a happy man. He said he accomplished what he wanted."
Cult leader Charles Manson, who persuaded others to kill for him, also refused to testify in the raucous 1970 trial of him and other members of his "Manson Family."
An example is Timothy McVeigh,
In an unusual proceeding, Manson was allowed to testify outside the jury's presence so that the judge could rule on whether his testimony was admissible in front of jurors. Manson spoke at length, telling his life story and denying killing or ordering anyone killed.
But when the judge said he could tell his story to the jury, he refused.
Court testimony is clearly not a criminal's only chance at attention.
Breivik shared his vision with the world in a 1,500-page manifesto that he posted online before waging his attacks on July 22 — a bomb in Oslo's government district followed by a shooting spree at the governing Labor Party's youth camp outside the capital.

She said that allowing only written coverage of Breivik's testimony — but not film footage — is a "very clever solution" given the importance film and photos can have in recruitment and brainwashing of extremists.

Gray-Little talks with ROTC members about retention
vamin@kansan.com
Tuesday afternoon marked the first time the Chancellor of the University of Kansas met with members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in the Military Science building.
The Air Force ROTC program hosted Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little in an open house to show her the facilities and to give her more information about the programs.
"This was a good opportunity for me to learn more about the goals of the program, the people that are there and the needs of the program," Gray-Little said. "They seemed pleased with the changes in the building and would like more funding for students who are out of state."
Air Force ROTC Detachment Commander Montague Samuel said their goal was to make the University aware of the ROTC programs and show what the programs offer to the University. Samuel said there are currently 57 members enlisted in the program and 35 are on scholarship. The average GPA for members of the Air Force ROTC is 3.0.
"We wanted to show Chancellor Gray-Little that we are working for the University and we are also out there recruiting for the University by bringing in quality students," Samuel said.
One issue brought up during the meeting was the lack of retention in the ROTC program, and Samuel said the support from the Chancellor and the University could go a long way in helping students stay in the program.
"Economic times are tough right now, but if you complete our program, whether it is through the Air Force, Army, Navy or whatever, you will have a job waiting on you even if you don't stay in the military and make it a career. You will still have that experience," Samuel said.
Chancellor Gray-Little said she was pleased to hear about programs underway to upgrade the building.
"The ROTC program is a part of a long tradition at the University and it is outstanding that we have one of the highest ranked programs in the country," Gray-Little said.

New York woman faked cancer to get donations for wedding
GOSHEN, N.Y. — A New York woman admitted Wednesday that she faked cancer to con donors out of money and services for her wedding and Caribbean honeymoon.

Jessica Vega, 25, isn't likely to do any time in state prison, court officials said, but will have to repay $13,368 to her victims and remain in jail until her sentencing May 15.
She pleaded guilty in Orange County Court to scheming to defraud and possession of a forged instrument charges.
In 2010, Vega spread the word in her Hudson Valley community that she was dying of leukemia and wanted a "dream wedding"
to Michael O'Connell, the father of her infant daughter, in the few months she had left.
Donors stepped up with rings, an embroidered wedding dress and a time-share in Aruba for the honeymoon. Other contributions included food, wine and hairdressing.
Vega was living in Montgomery, a town 60 miles north of New York City, when she launched the scam, which picked up steam when her story was featured in a local newspaper, the Times Herald-Record of Middletown.

COMMENTARY Coaches have a tough job
Nobody said the life of a college football coach was easy, although we're envious of the perks.
Try imagining yourself managing hundreds of 18 to 23-year-old men who are in the growing stages of adulthood, yet prone to making consequential mistakes? Kansas coach, Charlie Wies, knows part its part of the job.
Earlier this week, Weis dismissed sophomore linebacker Collin Garrett and freshman cornerback Chris Robinson from the team for violating team rules. Two weeks ago, junior running back James Sims was suspended for the first three games of the season for operating under the influence.
"I understand that 18 to 20-year-old kids will mess up in life just like we all did when we were 18 to 23-years-old," Weis said. "There are learning experiences that take place when you are in college. The number one thing that happens when you are in college is that you grow up."
College coaches are caught in a juggling act. Winning games is a main reason why coaches coach, but they also mentor players because they need discipline.
College athletes are old enough to make responsible and independent choices, but when they make irresponsible choices, they need someone to tell them that their actions warrant disciplinary action. Because Weis can oversee his players on a limited basis, the team voted on permanent team captains.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
"There comes a time in their stay at Kansas where they have to determine when enough is enough and when it's time to turn the corner," Weis said. "I think that you can give players a couple of hiccups along the road, but there comes a point where two issues and mentalities are involved with dismissing a player. Number one is if whatever they did is severe enough to let them go right now, but more importantly is when a player has had multiple things occur in their background that you finally give them an ultimatum and say the next time something happens that is going to be it."
It's not just notorious off-the-field behavior such as bar fights or operating under the influence that's deserving of disciplinary action. Poor academic performance, and missing or being late to class and meetings is unacceptable too.
The football team has embarrassed the program and the University enough in the previous couple seasons with its uninspiring and lousy on-the-field performance, and adding off-the-field embarrassment would set the program further back.
Discipline existed during the Turner Gill era, but it wasn't emphasized like it has been during the current Charlie Weis era. A coach's emphasis on discipline is an effort to maintain order and structure. Without it, progression halts.
"I am not trying to be a drill sergeant here." Weis said. "I am just trying to make practical decisions based off of how people act on and off the field."

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Senior infielder Zac Elgie slides home during the bottom of the fifth to score his first run during Wednesday night's game against Kansas State at Hoglund Ballpark.
WALK-OFF FOR THE WIN
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
With the disappointment of last year's season-ending sweep against Kansas State still fresh in their mind, the Kansas baseball team (17-25, 4-11 Big 12) sent their in-state rival home in dramatic fashion.
Senior third baseman Zac Elgie launched a walk-off homerun to straightaway center field in the bottom of the 11th inning, earning Kansas an 8-7 victory over the Wildcats. The homer was Elgie's team-leading fifth of the season and the first Jayhawk walk-off homer since March of
2009.
Elgie went two-for-four with two RBIs in the ballgame, and the senior — recovering from a celebratory pie in the face — said that he went up to the plate looking to end the game.
"The funny thing about it is that Kuntz and I were talking at shortstop prior to our coming up. And I was like Kuntz, if they're going to throw a first-pitch fastball, I'm going to take a leg kick and try to end it," Elgie said.
Wednesday's game ended offensively for Kansas the same way it began. Sophomore center fielder Tucker Tharp hit a
leadoff homerun to center field, tying the game in the bottom half of the first. The homer was Tharp's second of the season, and it started the early offensive onslaught for the Jayhawks. Kansas went on to score six runs in the inning on seven hits.
Tharp went four-for-six in the contest with an RBI and run scored. In his last 11 games, Tharp's batting average is a lofty .378, and he attributes much of the offensive improvement to his approach as a leadoff man.
"I like starting the game off whether I can draw a walk or get on base, it just sets the tempo for the game," Tharp said. "I think
the guys feed off that, and I'm excited to be in that role."
Kansas led K-State by as much as five, and with two outs in the ninth inning, the Wildcats' Wade Hinkle ripped a game-tying two-run homer off junior closer Tanner Poppe. Inconsistency has been an issue for the newly appointed closer as Poppe's ERA hovers at 5.70 to go along with a 0-4 record. Despite Poppe's alarming statistics, coach Ritch Price was not as concerned with this ninth-inning letdown.
"I tip my cap to the guy that hit it out of the ballpark," Price said. "That's as hard hit as I've seen a baseball hit all year. He
took 93 miles an hour, and he sent it over the fence at like 120 mph. That ball was crushed."
The game did not count toward Big 12 standings, but the Jayhawks will take an emotional victory over their in-state rival heading into the weekend against Oklahoma.
"Any time you beat another Big 12 or BCS team, it's great," junior first baseman Jake Marasco said. "The fact that it's K-State just makes it better."

ATHLETICS
Conferences realign drastically in 2011
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
When the Kansas baseball team closes the 2012 regular season on May 19 at Hoglund Ballpark, a rivalry so deeply embedded in the history and culture of the two universities, will end with the final pitch.
The Universities of Kansas and Missouri have met every year since their first football game on Oct. 31, 1891, creating one of the most intense rivalries in all of sports. But the rivalry's days are numbered.
Throughout the past 20 months, the landscape of college sports has changed drastically, but no period was more critical than the fall of 2011. The term "conference realignment" dominated headlines and casted a shadow of uncertainty over athletic departments around the country — including Kansas.
As the conference realignment dust settles, many schools around the country prepare for change, and others are simply thankful for their BCS survival.
Dennis Dodd, a national college sports columnist for CBSsports.com, has covered college athletics for more than 20 years. Dodd said he has never seen anything quite like conference realignment, but he
REALIGNMENT'S ORIGIN
"It's unprecedented," Dodd said. "Conference expansion really originated with Penn State's move to the Big Ten in 1993, and that was a huge deal."
can still pinpoint where it began.
Penn State was a long-time independent, and its decision to join the Big Ten set the stage for further conference expansion 17 years later. When the
University of Nebraska announced on June 11, 2010, that the school was leaving the Big 12 for the Big Ten, the Big 12 became the ground zero of conference realignment.
In 2006, the Big Ten signed a $1 billion deal with ESPN/ABC, and the conference already generated profits from its nationally syndicated Big Ten Network. A 2010 Chicago Tribune report estimated that Big Ten expansion could potentially result in an allocation of $40 million annually to each school. After Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman saw those figures,
BIGTEN
Football is widely considered the driving force of conference realignment because it's the sport that schools generate most of their athletic financial benefits from. The Big Ten provided Nebraska with stability to a degree that the Big 12 could not match at the time.
Nebraska brought a completely new television market and a national fan base to the Big Ten, and the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) looked to be the next beneficiary of conference expansion.
"It's really a function of market sourcing," Dodd said. "College football, since really the time the BCS started in 1998, has become the runaway second most popular sport in the country as far as viewers go."
On June 7, 2010, it seemed that the Big 12's disbandment was inevitable. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott offered invitations to Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado. It took three days for Colorado to accept the invitation, but the other five schools remained committed to the Big 12.
the decision to leave the Big 12 was an easy one.
Former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe's last-ditch effort to save
the conference worked.
He gave Texas, and the other

Big 12 schools, permission to start their own networks. At the time, Beebe was praised for his ingenuity and received a three year contract extension. Two months later,
FALL OF DISCONTENT
With one swipe of a pen, UT president William Powers Jr. made Texas the most powerful university in collegiate athletics.
Fox Sports Media Group and the Big 12 reached an agreement that would pay the conference $90 million annually in addition to the conference's $65 million a year deal with ESPN. It was a huge sigh of relief for the Kansas and the "Forgetten Five," who, less than a year earlier, could have found themselves scrambling for a conference.

In April, 2011, the Big 12's stability appeared ensured, even with just 10 universities entering the following academic year.
"It looked like there was a chance it would not stay together," Kansas associate athletic director Jim Marchiony told the Associate Press after the contract was announced. "But we knew a year ago that Fox was very, very interested in the Big 12 even without Nebraska and Colorado."
Even with all the money going around the conference, the Big 12 was far from stable. When rumors started circulating that the

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW This year's Jayhawks had true passion
kusports.com
A
A after the craziness of the college basketball season, I finally feel like I recovered. It's odd to say I recovered because all I did was watch and cheer on the Jayhawks. However there is something that draws all fans together, especially Kansas fans; passion.
This year's team proved to me that passion can lead to great success. Kansas played with passion which allowed it to defy the odds. The number of times the Jayhawks trailed at halftime and came back to back to win the game is unbelievable. Most top five teams plan to win outright with a comfortable lead. That was the story of Kentucky's season, but Kansas' will to win is what made its season great not just for Jayhawk fans.
Watching the final minutes of the Border Showdown game in Columbia. Mo., was just heart-wrenching.
By Tanvi Nimkar
tnimkar@kansan.com
especially knowing that victory was inches away. Several analysts predicted that loss was an indication that the Tigers would win the Big 12 season championship this year rather than the Jayhawks. Instead of letting the loss negatively affect the rest of the season, Kansas turned into a winning machine. With an impressive win against Baylor, Kansas established the fact that the Big 12 season championship was still up for grabs.
During round two of the Border Showdown at Allen Fieldhouse, my heart sank as Missouri got a 19 point lead in the beginning of the second half. Honestly, I should have known better. Kansas grabbed the lead in the final moments of the game with a highlight ending. This is just one game.
Again and again the Jayhawks showed Purdue, North Carolina and Ohio State that with the will to win, anything is possible. In the beginning of the NCAA tournament, the Jayhawks were definitely not the overall favorite to win. Every game preview I read started with different types of skepticism regarding Kansas' ability to win. Each time, fans got the thrill of proving the previews wrong. Kansas made it to the final game by battling until the end. With each victory, the passion grew as well. This season, like every season, was unique
KU
but incredible because the fans, the program and the players all care and have passion about being a favhawk.
As I approach my senior year, I hope to have that same determination and passion for what I am doing. At 5-foot-1, I know I won't ever dunk like Thomas Robinson, but there is something out there that I can strive to be the best at. All I have to do is find my passion.

Kansas beats UMKC, prepares for Texas Tech
SUNDAY, JANUARY 18TH 1972
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
Jayhawk outfielder, Elsa Moyer, from Kirkland, Wash., dives to retrieve a ball during Kansas' game against UMKC at Arrocha Ballpark on Wednesday afternoon. Kansas won the first of its two games against the UMKC Kangarops on Wednesday 3-1.
CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
Freshman first baseman Maddie Stein hit her fourth home run in three games, freshman Alicia Pille picked up her 16th and 17th victories and the Kansas softball team (30-16, 5-13) won both games of its doubleheader against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Wednesday at Arrocha Ballpark.
Pille (17-9) pitched a complete game, struck out six and allowed one earned run in Kansas' 3-1 victory during game one of the twin bill.
After a pair of singles gave UMKC (19-27) its first run of the day in the second inning, Pille settled in and held the Kangaroo scoreless the rest of the way. Since giving up three runs in relief and taking the loss last Saturday against Iowa State, Pille has pitched 14-and-two-thirds innings and allowed just one run.
Pille credits a stronger mental approach in helping put the loss behind her.
"Coming in as a freshman I think I was worried about trying to be perfect." Pille said. "I was too afraid to make a mistake, and that's where I was getting in trouble. You can't throw afraid or nervous."
Sophomore centerfielder Elsa Moyer, who started in the leadoff spot for the fourth consecutive game, singled to start the fifth inning. A Stein single put runners at the corners with one out for senior outfielder and cleanup hitter, Liz Kocon.
Kocon caught UMKC off guard when she dropped a textbook bunt that stopped just inches in front of the plate.
The squeeze play provided Moyer enough time to slide into home and gave Kansas a two-run lead with two innings remaining. Meanwhile Kocon made it safely with no play at first.
"I don't bunt very often, but
I know when coach calls it, it's a very serious moment," Kocon said. "Whatever she calls, I'll do. You just have to lock in and do it."
Coach Smith wasn't surprised at Kocon's execution and, with speed on third base, said she saw it as a perfect moment to put the play on.
"I thought we needed another run, we needed an insurance run," Smith said. "Liz is one of our
best bunters, and I thought she executed it perfectly."
Despite trailing 2-1 after four innings, Kansas never appeared to be in danger of losing.
UMKC took a two-run lead in the first inning as Kansas' junior pitcher Morgan Druhan struggled to find the strike zone. Druhan walked three batters in the first inning before being relieved by sophomore Kristin Martinez.
Martinez pitched three-and-
one-third innings, giving up two hits and two walks. Most importantly, though, she worked three-plus innings for the Kansas pitching staff.
"We need to get quality innings out of them," Smith said. "If Kristin and Morgan can piece together some good innings for us and then we can bring Pille back in, that gives us a good chance."
That's how it went in game two.
Pille returned in the fifth inning to a bases loaded, one-out situation and was able to get out unharmed. That appeared to give the Jayhawks some momentum.
Kansas scored two runs in the bottom half of the inning with the help of a UMKC throwing error and took the lead for good in the 3-2 victory.
An 0-for-4 performance ended her 12-game hitting streak in the first game, but junior outfielder
Maggie Hull started a fresh one.
Hull homered in the first inning and finished a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Hull needs four more runs to break the all-time single-season record runs record at KU.
Kansas faces Texas Tech this weekend in a three-game series at Arrocha Ballpark.

GAMÉ TO REMEMBER
Senior third baseman Zac Elgie
Elgie went 2-for-4 on the night with a walk, two runs and two RBIs. Most importantly, he ripped a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 11th inning to cap his solid offensive night. He also hit the team's only double of the night.

GAME TO FORGET
Senior closer Tanner Poppe
Poppe came into the game with a three-run lead and only needed three outs to earn the save. Instead, he gave up a two-run homer and a game-tying single to send the game into extra innings. He gave up two hits, two walks and three runs. He needed 37 pitches to get through just one inning of work.

The Jayhawks have been playing their stretch of baseball in the last two weeks. With Wednesday's 8-7 victory in 11 innings over the Kansas State Wildcats, the Jayhawks improve to 5-2 in their last seven games and 17-25 on the season.
Pitching wasn't the problem for Kansas when the team was struggling earlier in the season. Kansas pitchers have posted a solid 4.27 ERA. However, consistent hitting has been the problem. They Jayhawks rank last in the Big 12 in batting average, hitting just .247 as a club — 23 points lower than the next team.
Junior first baseman jake Marasco singled and scored in the first inning. Marasco had been struggling lately, going 5-for-32 (1.16) in his last 10 games before going 2-for-4 with a walk against the Wildcats.
On Wednesday night, the Kansas offense delivered as Jayhawk hitters spread 14 hits, including two homers and a double, over 11 innings. Every offensive player got on base at least once.
"I thought they really did a good job of staying back behind the ball," coach Ritch Price said of the offense. "We put some really good swings on the ball early."
scored eight runs in the second at Minnesota on March 10.
Kansas left 12 men on base, including three different innings when they left the bases loaded.
"Things got rolling in the first inning," Marasco said. "You got guys from the top of the lineup to the bottom contributing, and that's the ideal scenario."

and it's ended poorly. It's about time."
Elgie, said the team is finally starting to come together at the plate.
"It's great, we finally caught a break," Tharp said. "We've been there before
"We're finally starting to gel," Elgie said. "We had guys who would have real good months, and we would have some guys who would have sub-par months. Now we're starting to get some hits together as a group."
The increase in production starts with the team's upperclassmen. Batters like Elgie and Marasco have struggled with consistency throughout the season. On Wednesday upperclassmen combined to go 8-for-22 (.364) with six walks, five runs and three RBIs.
"You can see the difference in the number of runs we're putting up." Price said. "It's almost doubled since we're starting to get some production out of Elgie, Marasco, Alex DeLeon and Chris Manship."
After allowing a run in the top of the first inning, sophomore outfielder Tucker Tharp leveled the score immediately, belting a leadoff homer to center field. His blast prompted an inning in which the Jayhawks scored six runs and sent 11 batters to the plate.
It was the Jayhawks' biggest inning since they

ONFERENCES FROM PAGE 1B
THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2012
The conference voted not to expand, which meant that the Big 12 returned from the brink of death once again. It took 20 days of arguing and back-and-forth threats, but Texas A&M got its official release to join the SEC.
But as the previous 20 months showed, long-lasting peace in the Big 12 doesn't exist.
When Missouri officially announced its move to the SEC on Nov. 5, the school's athletic department knew it was in for a long process.
MISSOURI'S MOVE
The transition to the SEC extends beyond simply playing a new schedule, but the school believed it was ready for the challenge.
"We've had numerous meetings and orientations with the SEC." Missouri senior associate athletic director Tim Hickman said. "We've poured through to their bylaws to gain an understanding of how they do things. We have been getting on top of all those types of things that will be different for us."
Those differences include anything from logos on buildings and uniforms to eliminating the student re-entry rule which is allowed in the Big 12 at football games. Just two weeks ago, Missouri released its new uniforms, marking the athletic department's rebranding after the transition to the SFC.
The non-revenue sports will encounter more logistics challenges than it did in the Big 12. While the school was a member of the Big 12, its closest conference opponent was Kansas 155 miles away. Texas' campus in Austin was the farthest Big 12 school from Missouri at 678 miles. Competing in the SEC East division, Missouri's closest division rival is Vanderbilt University at 359 miles, and the Tigers will travel as far as 858 miles to the University of Florida.
"There will be some travel differences for our Olympic-sport teams," Hickman said. "As you can imagine, there will probably be a few more flights then there were before in conference play. We'll need to make the necessary adjustments for that."
With the SEC's payback, Missouri shouldn't have trouble funding the extra flights. The SEC offers schools financial benefits that only
the Pac-12 can match. According to the business of College Sports, the SEC has an $825 million contract with CBS and a $2.25 billion deal with ESPN that both extend through 2024.
While times have never been busier around the Missouri athletic department, Hickman said that the entire staff is looking forward to the change.
"It's definitely exciting, and it's busy", Hickman said. "There's an energy about the excitement and the new opportunities for us. Even though there are a thousand details for us to try to mark off our list, we look at this as a multi-year process to get acclimated."
THE NEW KANSAS
"When Nebraska left, before everyone expected it to happen, then we had a second bye in the schedule, and it's been really hard to fill those," Price said. The fact that the Big 12 survived the last two years means that Kansas finds itself firmly in its original BCS conference. There was no chaotic dash to find a suitor in a post Big 12 scenario, and without an elite football program, that's what the university hoped for.
"They are literally afterthoughts," Dodd said of non-football sports. "The people involved in it would never say that. But it became clear to me in June of 2010, where for a few days there, it looked like Kansas, with a top-five basketball program, was going to be left out in the cold."
Conference realignment may be about football television revenue, but it affected every sport this past year.
For Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price, this past fall was an uneasy time to be in the Big 12. With so many uncertainties as to where Kansas would be next season, the simple task of putting together a non-conference schedule was nearly impossible.
If Kansas had been left out of a BCS conference, it would have created a nightmare that athletic director Sheaah Zenger hopes never becomes a reality.
With Texas Christian University and West Virginia joining the Big 12 in July, the conference finds itself looking forward, but as realignment has shown, the Big 12 can never be too comfortable.

Sutherland, a senior from Perris, Calif., finished her career
at Kansas as the second alltime shot blocker and third best rebounder. During her senior season, she also became the 15th player in program history to amass 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career.
She helped Kansas reach its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000 and sparked
a run to the Sweet 16 while averaging 13.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. She ranked in the top 10 of the conference in both scoring and rebounding and was chosen as an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention.
While at Kansas, Sutherland was also a part of the 2008 WNIT runner-up team as a freshman.
She is Kansas' lone graduating senior. If she is selected by the Dream, she would join former teammate Danielle McCray in the league. McCray, a 2010 graduate, plays for the Connecticut Sun.

Cardinals beat Cubs 5-1 Wednesday

CHICAGO — David Freese homered and Lance Lynn threw eight strong innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday afternoon.
Lynn (4-0) held Chicago to six hits in becoming the first four-game winner in the majors and helping the Cardinals avoid a three-game sweep.
St. Louis Cardinals' Daniel Descasso (33) crosses home plate safely on a Matt Carpenter single as Chicago Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger tries to apply the tag in the third inning during a baseball game in Chicago, on Wednesday.
Freese's two-run blast in the sixth capped a three-run, two-out rally against starter Chris Volstad. Freese added an RBI double in the eighth.
Volstad (0-3) threw six solid innings, retiring St. Louis in order during four of them. But he's still 0-8 in 15 starts since July 10, 2011.

Bryan LaHair homered to lead off the fourth for Chicago's only run. LaHair has four of Chicago's lowest seven home runs this season, the lowest total in the majors.
The Cardinals avoided being swept at Wrigley Field for the first time since July 27-30, 2006. The Cubs took the first two games of the series in their final at-bat, winning their first series of the season under new manager Dale Sveum.
Lynn threw 110 pitches, only the third time this season a Cardinals pitcher has surpassed 100. He's done it on two of those occasions, not bad for a pitcher who only became a starter
because rotation stalwart Chris Carpenter went on the disabled list with a shoulder problem. His eight innings marked the longest outing by a Cardinals pitcher this season, and he lowered his ERA to 1.33.
Freese led the Cardinals offense with two hits and threeRBIs. Carlos Beltran doubled, walked, scored two runs and stole two bases. Beltran has five steals on the season, already his most since 2009.

Hamels strikes out seven to beat Arizona
PHOENIX — Cole Hamels pitched eight strong innings and also hit a two-run single Wednesday as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2.
Hamels (3-1) gave up a leadoff double to Willie Bloomquist in the first, then retired the next 18 batters.
The left-hander allowed two runs and four hits. He struck out seven, including his final three hitters.
Hamels' single capped a five-run sixth inning. The Phillies won consecutive games to salvage a 5-5 record on their now-completed road trip.
The Diamondbacks have lost seven of nine. Trevor Cahill (1-2) gave up four runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings.

Fresh start at Big 12 leaves tennis hopeful

The Kansas women's tennis team is currently 0-0 heading into the Big 12 Championships this week in Austin, Texas.
Or at least coach Amy Hall-Holt wants her team to pretend that's the case.
"Anytime you go into tournament season, it's a new ball game," Hall-Holt said. "It's a new season, basically, and so that's the mentality that we have to take. We've got to go in with a killer attitude."
A promising 7-0 start to nonconference play turned sour, and the Jayhawks won only two of its last 14 dual matches. None of those victories came against conference foes, and the team compiled a troubling 0-9 record in the Big 12 (9-12 overall).
The Jayhawks will face Oklahoma in the first round of the conference tournament, a
squad that handed Kansas its first conference loss, 5-2, a month-and-a-half-ago. To give an idea of how competitive the Big 12 is for women's tennis, the seventh-seeded Sooners are ranked No. 47 nationally. Eight different Big 12 teams hold positions in this week's ITA Division I rankings.
"When we played them the first time, we held our own," Hall-Holt said. "We can compete, and that's what we've got to do. We just have to compete for every point, go after it and work hard."
As players and coaches quickly point out, Kansas has fought and shown signs of success against some of the Big 12's best this season. No. 12-ranked and tournament two-seed Baylor barely squeaked by the Jayhawks, 4-3, only a month ago.
"We were right there," junior Monica Pezzotti said. "We need to build our confidence and believe in ourselves that we can beat those
PAGE 7B
Kansas will begin its match against Oklahoma today at 10 a.m., and the format will be identical to every dual match played during the regular season.
teams."
This time, however, the single-elimination bracket has teams playing for their lives. One subpar match could be the difference between an upset victory and the Jayhawks thirteenth loss of the 2012 season.
The last year Kansas advanced past the first round of the Big 12 Championships was April 2008, the same month that Bill Self's men's basketball team cut down the nets in San Antonio to celebrate its national championship.
"I guess we're just going into it like we have nothing to lose," sophomore Dylan Windom said. "Just play to win, and we literally have nothing to lose."

Astros end 11-game skid with victory over Brewers
MILWAUKEE — Jose Altuve had a career-best four hits, and J.D. Martinez had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Houston Astros over the Brewers 7-5 Wednesday and stop an 11-game losing streak against Milwaukee.
Chris Snyder put the Astros ahead for good at 5-4 with an RBI single in the seventh off Jose Veras (2-1) after Brian Bogusevic doubled and stole third.
Wilton Lopez (2-0) pitched a 1-2-3 sixth, and Brett Myers got three outs for
his third save. Houston, which hadn't beaten the Brewers since May 1, had 14 hits and won for the third time in 11 game overall. The Astros avoided a three-game sweep.
Martinez boosted the lead to 7-4 in the eighth with a two-run single off Mike McClendon.
Corey Hart hit a solo homer off David Carpenter in the eighth, when Wesley Wright induced an inning-ending flyout by to Cesar Izturis to Bogusevic, who made a sliding catch in right-field foul territory with two on.
David Carpenter had buzzed Carlos Gomez in seventh. Gomez ducked out of the way and glared at the pitcher. Brewers starter Shaun Marcum had hit Snyder leading off the second. Snyder walked to first, not even never looked at Marcum.
Astros starter J.A. Happ allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings with eight strikeouts, which tied his season high. Marcum had only one 1-2-3 innings and gave up four runs, eight hits and four walks in five innings.

Sporting KC shows appreciation for young fans
JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com
Graham Zusi and several partners rode down Jayhawk Boulevard Wednesday afternoon in a large van with decals obscuring the windows, looking for a victim.
They found a student walking by himself on the sidewalk and told him to get in the van and ride with them, which he did.
But the student was on his way to take a quiz and couldn't stay, he told the men in the van, so they dropped him off at his class and drove off, eventually arriving at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
The polite kidnapping was part of an on-campus promotional appearance by Sporting Kansas City, the Major League Soccer.team that plays its home games in Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan.
After walking and driving through campus at 2 p.m., Zusi and his teammates held a public practice at the soccer complex on campus in front of about 200 to 300 fans. Afterward, several players and coaches greeted fans at Johnny's North.
Some Lawrence families with younger children came out to watch the public practice, but this appearance had a more specific focus: targeting college-age fans who have been a significant factor in the explosion of popularity that Sporting has experienced since the team rebranded itself in 2010.
"Obviously the reason we're coming out here is to try and get the college kids and young professionals who have become a big part of our fan base," Zusi said.
A significant part of that fan base in Lawrence is the Mass Street Mob, a group of Sporting fans started by Adam Critfas and several of his friends after the rebrand, when the team changed its name from The Wizards to Sporting.
"There were six of us who have always watched soccer our whole lives, we always played soccer," said Crifasi, a second-year graduate student from Olathe. "We just realized there are a lot of people around campus who like soccer too, and we just wanted to get them all together."
When the group was founded, Crifasi imagined it might hit 20 members or so. But this year, Mass Street Mob regularly rents buses to take about 60 fans to every home game. Last Saturday, for Sporting's game against Portland, the Mob and other Sporting fans packed the Red Lion Tavern to capacity for a watch party.
Crifasi and the rest of the group helped promote the appearance through Facebook and Twitter during the day, as the team kept its appearance a secret from the general public until Wednesday morning.
Andy Tretiak, Sporting's Vice President of Marketing, said the team's increase in popularity among college-age fans over the past couple years was definitely by design.
"More kids grow up playing soccer now than any other sport, so we have very much marketed our team to that generation," said Tretiak. "And
we want that generation to adopt Sporting as their team"
Martin Ramos, a senior from Chanute, adopted Sporting a year ago and came to see the practice despite having never attended a Sporting game.
"Since the World Cup, I've been attracted to soccer, and I just needed that fix." Ramos said. "Sporting KC kind of gives me that."

Documentary prompts race discussion in schools

Patrick Monroe, a senior from New Berlin, Wis., looks through a lens to focus a shot for his documentary. The documentary features the "Can We Talk" program at Free State High School, which focuses on racial issues in public schools

Sylvia Yimer, a graduate student in the School of Social Welfare, went to visit the program "Can We Talk" at Free State High School. "Can We Talk" is a localized part of a national program. Yimer said her visit was driven by her interest in race equality in public schools.
Yimer said the program was meant to facilitate understanding of different races and reduce the academic performance gap between white students and students of minority groups. She said she was surprised by how unrecognized the program
A group of University students is producing a documentary called, "Courageous Conversations about Race," a program encouraging high school students to face racial issues.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."
Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
Monroe said it was great to know that Sylvia was as dedicated as he was to filming and directing.
Yimer said Singleton was personable. The author set aside more than four hours of his day to meet exclusively with Monroe and Yimer.
The program is inspired by the book "Courageous Conversations about Race — a Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools," by Glenn Singleton and Curtis Linton. In February, Yimer and Monroe flew to San Francisco to interview and film Singleton.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
--already purchased since I graduated high school. I'm not kidding: I graduated in a class of 36 and already need all of both hands to count how many of my classmates are engaged, married and/or have children or are expecting one soon.
{From the Editor}
PATRICIA GRAYLEY
In less than three weeks, I'll be a bachelor degree holding college graduate. Save for some sort of disaster that I shouldn't even mention for fear of jinxing it, so will a slew of other young Jayhawks. I'm sure I'm not alone in all the uncertainties that arise during this time, as my future's horizon is quite hazy.
My parents ask regularly if I have any plans or prospects after I graduate. My boss wants to know how long he can expect me around. Every time I speak to someone from back home, they want to know what I'm up to. I'm running out of nice ways to say "I don't really know."
But I am confident and feel blessed to have so many people that care about and support me, when so much of my life is yet to be written. It's easy to be skeptical and get weighed down by the expenses that I'll soon be shouldering: student loan repayment, car and health insurance, rent, gasoline, taxes, and the million wedding and baby shower gifts I feel like I've
Then I think about how much I already have, even if a legitimate career prospect isn't one of them. Even in my characteristic skepticism, I have a family, a lover and a web of friends that I genuinely love and trust. I have a job at arguably the best restaurant in town that I can support myself with. I pay my own rent. I have a car, a laptop and a pet kitty. In the wise words of Dave Chappelle, "I'm rich, bitch!"
Give or take a thing or two, these are all things that most all other Jayhawks have too. Too often do we allow the pressures of our complex society and busy schedules to skew the way we view our own lives and all the things we are lucky enough to have. Aliza's story on page 12 reminded me of all the things I have to be grateful for, as well as the ways society used to limit the lives of people like Lisa and Hal, the couple featured in her story
So Dave Chappelle wasn't talking about quite the same thing I am, but his words still apply. With our economy in a rut and the job market in a similar state, I think our generation can bring about a new way of viewing wealth. If that's the case, my kitty Charles is worth his weight in gold.

Dear Michelle.
My girlfriend told me that she cannot get pregnant while she is on her period, so we have not used condoms during this time. Should I be worried about getting her pregnant during her period?
Baby While Bleeding
Dear BWB.

Adopting the notion that a woman cannot become pregnant during menstruation will eventually fail you. I assume you are trying to prevent a pregnancy from happening, so why don't we start with a crash course on the female menstrual cycle.
Ovulation:
Ovulation is not a straight-forward process; the 14-day ovulation cycle is not accurate. Tracking ovulation requires much more time and attention. To begin, your girlfriend should pay attention to her menstruation cycle and determine whether it is regular or irregular. Regular cycles will produce a menstrual period consistently, after a set number of days (28 on average, but can range from 21to 35 days).
If your girlfriend has regular, "like clockwork," cycles, then she can determine ovulation through basic math and with the help of ovulation predictor devices found at your local drug store. Ovulation with regular cycles can be estimated two ways: 1) Counting 11 to 21 days since the last menstrual period, or 2) Counting 12 to 16 days from when you expect the next menstrual period to begin. During ovulation, an egg is available
for fertilization for about 12 to 24 hours after being released. Since sperm can live in the body for up to five days, the woman can be fertile for up to seven days.
Ovulation predictor devices will detect the presence of luteinizing hormones (LH). LH rise right before ovulation occurs. These devices will only detect whether you are ovulating, but cannot ensure you do ovulate.
Menstruation and Pregnancy:
A woman can only become pregnant during ovulation. If your girlfriend has a regular cycle and can estimate time of ovulation, you should avoid having unprotected sex during her ovulation. Usually, a woman with a regular cycle has little chance of becoming pregnant during her menstrual period. However, (and pay attention to this next part) it IS possible for a woman to become pregnant when having unprotected sex during her menstrual cycle.
How?
Let's say your girlfriend has a 21-day cycle and she averages about seven days of bleeding for every cycle. Ovulation can occur 12 to 16 days before the next period. With this cycle and the amount of bleeding time, she would be ovulating at days 6 to 10 of her 21-day cycle. Remember, sperm can live inside her body for three to five days. If your girlfriend happens to ovulate on this schedule and you have unprotected sex during her menstruation, you can tell your friends to start calling you daddy.
Finally, let's say she has a regular cycle, she tracks her ovulation through calculation and the ovulation detection device, and she determines ovulation does not occur during her menstrual cycle. What could go wrong? Well, you forget to factor in lifestyle and stress. Ovulation can be affected by stress, illness or the disruption of normal daily routines. A woman's cycle is sensitive to these factors and although she may assume her ovulation is occurring at the same time every month, something like demanding finals or a week-long flu could throw her ovulation way off.
sport, so we have very much marketed our team to that generation," said Tretiak. "And
So what does this all mean? If you want to prevent an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, use effective contraceptives properly EVERY time you have sex.

The Laws of Attraction WHY YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS JUST CAN'T AGREE ON JOHNNY DEPP
Chelsea Mullen, a sophomore trom Eudora, likes guys with facial hair. If he can make her laugh, she's putty in his hands. But, Mullen says, her friends just don't get it.
"Most of my friends like pretty boys who are overly groomed, and I don't think that's attractive in the least," she says. While Mullen and her friends might be at odds over it, science has proven that there are characteristics found to be most desirable in the opposite sex. A 2008 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that red is the most attractive color to members of the opposite
sex. Another study done at the University of Texas found an ideal waist-to-hip ratio for women to be 0.7 - which represents a much smaller waist than hips. Various other scientific research has pointed to facial symmetry as being of high importance when it comes to attracting a mate. With these conclusions, can we assume that an ideal specimen exists?
Dennis M. Dailey, retired professor of the school of social welfare, says no. The basis of our attraction to other people is based on a attraction template that is formed as we grow older. Dailey says the preferences that make up this attraction
1987

// SASHA LUND
template vary greatly from person to person, but we all have our type.
"If everyone had to be a stunning model that represented the thing men are attarcted to, we'd be in trouble. There are social standards that says what is or isn't beautiful, but that doesn't represent everyone's attraction template," Dailey says. Dailey says that experiences such as Mullen's are common, and because there is so much variance in attraction, it's impossible to determine what one person's attraction template is compared to another person's. Sexual attraction, however, Dailey says, is just one component of overall attraction - an umbrella term which includes values, intelligence, money, religion and power all as things we consider when evaluating someone's attractiveness. Our attraction templates, Dailey says, will alert us if a possible mate has enough of these qualities that we desire.
Everyone's attraction template is unique, Dailey says, so where does it come from? The answer is simple: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Our differences in attraction can stem from our parents, social learning from peers, or childhood sex play and fantasy. One thing is for sure though, Dailey believes: we aren't born with our templates.
Isadora Alman, a syndicated advice columnist and marriage and family therapist, agrees that while attraction is based on many things, it almost always starts out as something physical. She advises people to identify their physical triggers, and use them to their advantage.
"People have to cop to the fact that they have a penchant for redheads or great bottoms or something. That will make the difference of whether they'll talk to someone and get to know them," she says.
While physical attraction may be important for a new romance, Alman warns people that it may not always lead to a long-term relationship. She says sex appeal can be overridden quickly if someone says something offensive or unintelligent.
"Someone can look absolutely great, and then once they open their mouth, it's gone," she says.
Alman believes that, while there are many things a person can do to decrease their attractiveness to other people,the only thing a person can do to appear more attractive to the opposite sex is be friendly and be themselves.She says if you're looking to stand out from the pack, don't be self-concious and just reach out to someone.
"If someone is willing to smile and say 'hi,' they are going to make a wonderfully better first impression that is going to override any physical characteristics," Alman says.
Dennis Dailey agrees that little can be done to enhance your appeal to the opposite sex. He advises someone looking for love to be authentic and genuine, and love will find its way.
"I don't think you can dress yourself up to be attractive to someone of the opposite sex. No one needs to do anything extra. There are people out there who will find you attractive," he says.

Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."
Yimer said Singleton was personable. The author set aside more than four hours of his day to meet exclusively with Monroe and Yimer.

"It was easy to tell how passionate he was about his work and how eager he was to help us," Yimer said. "The interview with Glenn is by far the most important interview for the film."

The program is inspired by the book "Courageous Conversations about Race — a Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools," by Glenn Singleton and Curtis Linton. In February, Yimer and Monroe flew to San Francisco to interview and film Singleton.
"As a filmmaker, I hope this will be a calling card not just for me, for the club, but for KU." Monroe said. "We want to show people what KU students are capable of."
anything solid to work on," Monroe said. "Then Sylvia called me with this golden idea."
Monroe said a lot of work needs to be done to make the documentary successful and he hoped they could eventually send the documentary to film festivals. He hasn't yet announced a release date.
Monroe said the project would expand through the school year and develop into a 70-minute feature.
During spring break the team conducted an interview with a Free
State High School student who said to have benefitted from the program. Yimer said their next goal was to set up an interview with Tim Wise, one of the leading authors on race and racism in America.

Cassie Rupp, 24, a small town girl from Dighton, never thought she would star in the CMT reality show "Sweet Home Alabama." But after graduating from KU in 2010 and moving to California, she was cast for the second season of the series, where country girls were pitted against city girls to vie for model Tribble Reese's heart. She made it past six rounds before being eliminated.

When I first met Tribble I really liked him and he seemed really hot. It was hard to really get to know him because of the situation; I'm not one to fight for a guy, so I honestly wanted to give up.

Preparing for the job search LEARN TIPS OF THE TRADE FOR GETTING THAT JOB AFTER GRADUATION OR FINDING AN INTERNSHIP FOR THE SUMMER // ALLISON BOND
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JESSICA JANASZ
Getting that job you want is as easy as nailing the preparation.
Alyssa Keith started off the month of March by putting on her best business attire, printing off copies of her resume and heading to the journalism career fair. "I went in there with an open mind," says Keith, a senior from El Dorado. "I'm open to anything. It's pretty much 'have bag will travel.' But before connecting with journalism employers from around Kansas, Keith prepared by also going to the University Career Fair and seeking help from the University Career Center.
Keith is not the only one preparing for career fairs on campus. The University Career Center director David Gaston says 1,000 students attended the University Career Fair in February with 116 businesses to choose from. Two things to prepare and polish before career fairs are resume and interview skills.
One of the ways the Career Center, located in room 110 at the Burge Union, can help is through building and polishing your resume. Students can work on
Debbie Snyder, employee at World Company, which employs around 200 people in places such as the Lawrence Journal-World, Mediaphormedia and Sunflower Publishing, offers a tip for student resumes. "Include all of your experience, even if you feel it's not relevant," Snyder says. "You learn something from every experience." Gatson reminds students though that the purpose of a resume is to secure an interview. Resumes provide the opportunity to promote your experience and skills as a good fit for a position.
Once the interview is secured though, how can you make sure the interview goes great? One way is to practice through mock interviews. Students can fine-tune their interview skills by sitting down with a career coach for a video recorded mock
interview. After the interview, the tape is replayed and talked about.A new edition of this process is called the optimal interview, found at kucareerhawk.com. Students can perform a self-directed mock interview where they select a set of questions that an actor in a video then asks in an interview. Afterward, students can send in the tape to get critiqued, a process that is done all online.
"First impressions are pretty important," Gatson says. Going into an interview, "you have to communicate what you have to offer with a 30-second commercial of who you are and what you want to do," Gatson says. Through a very individualized approach, the Career Center, serving around 3,000 students a year just for individual appointments alone, seeks to assist students in any phase of figuring out what they want to do, from choosing a career direction or major to helping develop resumes and search for jobs.
Paul Coleman, who works at Lazer
105. 9 radio station in Lawrence, agrees that it is all about the interview process. "You come in and say, 'I didn't know what else to do so I thought I would come and apply,' that's not going to work," Coleman says. "We are looking for people who are motivated and know what they want."
Whether finding an internship for the summer or trying to get that first job after college, polishing your resume and interview skills never go to waste. "The Career Center is here to help," Gaston says. "We love to help folks realize their dreams."
THREE BIG INTERVIEW TIPS David Gatson, University Career Center director,says there are three big tips to preparing for a great interview.
Self-Assessment: Know who you are and what you want to accomplish. Network: Look for opportunities that correlate with you. Then communicate what value you can add to an organization. Do background research on the company you are interviewing with. When interviewing make sure to include some of that research into the conversation. Follow-up: Make sure you follow up the interview with a written note or an email afterward.
Kucareerhawk.com offers these tips for building the best resume:
Be clear: A resume should address the experience required for the position you are applying for.
Be concise: Try to fit your resume on one page.
Be clean: Make sure your resume is neat and easy to read. Tips to accomplish this are use a readable font such as Times New Roman in 11 or 12-point type, highlight achievements and skills using bullet points, use action verbs and avoid abbreviations.

GET INVOLVED:
Africa World Documentary Film Festival
Four days, 21 films. //ALLISON BOND
Films submitted from around the world are appearing in the Spencer Museum of Art this week as the University of Kansas hosts its first of the Africa World Documentary Film Festival. Presenting 21 movies from April 25 through 29, the film festival seeks to promote knowledge and the culture of the people of Africa, says Christina Lux, assistant director of African studies. The films range in length and content, focusing on different parts of African culture.
While the media tends to focus on conflict in Africa, Lux says the film festival is a way to expose students to a variety of perspectives and topics. "Students see Africa in a particular way." Lux says. "This features people showing their own voices in their own reality."
Mugabi Byenkya, a sophomore from
Kampala, Uganda, who helped in the selection process of the movies, says that his favorite pick was "Surfing Soweto." It focuses on the lives of three surfers and portrays the lives of a new generation of youth in Soweto, South Africa.
Byenkya believes that in showing documentary films about Africa, students can broaden their perspective on African culture. "If you can step outside of your comfort zone and watch something you normally wouldn't watch, it teaches you to see the world through someone else's eyes." Byenkya says. "It can help you relate with other people.

Watch, learn, or join in. //MEGAN HINMAN
If you've ever walked by Budig on a Monday afternoon, you've probably seen the KU Performance Club, a group that recently combined with the KU Juggling Club. The group practices from noon to 4 p.m. every week, and their performances are eye-catching.
Hula hoop, fire staff, levitation stick, and poi are some of the acts Rachel Berry, a sophomore from Johnson County, performs with the group "Occasionally we'll go down to Mass. Street and do little performances down there," Berry says, as she passes her hula hoop to a friend. They might even perform at Busker Festival, a street performers' gathering downtown in August.
The energy within the group of about 15 is high as they practice their different performances, with upbeat music playing from a stereo by one of the trees with a slack line on them. Those
are the flat ropes tied to two trees that you might see people walking or balancing on.
The group will teach you any performance art they can, says leader Shawn Nelson, a sophomore from Overland Park. As he twirls his poi — strings with balls on the end that can be lit on fire for effect — around his body effortlessly, he explains that it doesn't matter if the strings touch his arm. But he wouldn't do that if they were lit, would he? "Oh, absolutely I would," he says.
"It's like running your finger through a candle flame," interjects Bridget Lamb, former Juggling Club President and senior from Exton, Pa. "As long as you don't hold it over it for like, five seconds, you'll be fine."
While many passersby turn their heads shyly to glance at the group, Lamb says aloud what the performers are thinking. "It's okay to watch. It's even better to come try something. You can stop and watch. It's okay."

Everyone slouches. That may seem like an exaggeration, but as I looked around one of my classes for a slouching student, no one stuck out. Everyone was slouching, so I didn't have a good-posture comparison.
"If I'm standing and I realize I'm slouching," says Davina De La Torre, a senior from Liberal and one of the students in that room. "I'll straighten up because it looks like you have low self-esteem and you aren't very confident." But she slouches when she's been sitting, working on a paper for a long time, and she notices later that her muscles are sore.

Therapy Services, 2200 Harvard Road. Bennetts sees an necks and backs at the end of each semester, and she suggests taking a study break. "In some ways," she says, "the more you study, the more pain you could have because of static pain," which is what makes you sore after sitting for hours with poor posture.
When you do have to sit at your computer, make sure your screen is eye-level. If you need to pile books underneath your laptop to prop it up, do it, Bennetts says, and attach a separate keyboard that you can keep at a comfortable position. Also, sit in the 90-90-90 position. That means your knees are at a 90-degree angle with your feet resting flat on the floor, your hips are at a 90-degree angle with your legs flat and your back straight, and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle with your wrists straight.
It may seem unnecessary,but these simple steps could really reduce your pain from poor posture.

Q&A:
Greylag
//RACHEL SCHULTZ
Although Greylag's Andrew Stonestreet attended Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville for a year, he soon left after advice from his professors. He knew he wanted to be a musician and, being a history and philosophy major, didn't want to "pay to be fickle" any longer. Originally from West Virginia, Andrew Stonecrest made the move to Portland in 2009 to pursue his music career with friend and now fellow band member Daniel Dixon. Greylag's first album, "The Only Way to Kill You," debuts in May and is a culmination of genres, especially folk, blues and rock and roll. The band opens for Augustana at the Granada on May 2.
WHY DID YOU TURN TO SINGING? HOW DID YOU GET IN TO MUSIC AND BEGIN YOUR CAREER?
I've been in music my whole life. When I was 11 or 12, I started writing songs — they were horrible. Daniel and I started the project several years ago and when we moved to Portland it began to solidify.
HOW DID THE BAND GET ITS NAME? WHAT'S THE MEANING BEHIND IT?
We just wanted to pick something that didn't have a real association with anything. When you're a band you've just gotta have a name, something to call yourselves (laughs). It doesn't hold a lot of weight.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVE PERFORMANCE AND LIVE MUSIC?
There's something special that happens on stage. There's an intimacy with the people you're playing with and the people you're playing for and I've always loved it. I get a sense that it draws people together in a really unique way, more than most things, and there's a special kind of unity for a short moment in time.
HAVE YOU EVER PERFORMED IN LAWRENCE BEFORE? No. But I have exactly one friend from Kansas.
WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU FACE IN THIS BUSINESS?
I think from a band's perspective the goal is always to have a band you can hold closely and have deep friendship with. Mixing friendships and art and money together is not an easy task. You have to know how to define those things and keep them as separate as possible.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT TRAVELING OR MAKING MUSIC?
A lot of hiking and walking and I love going to the coast, having bonfires and having friends over and just enjoying Portland. So many things that are beautiful to do. I bike everywhere up. It's just relaxing.
IF YOU WEREN'T PURSUING A CAREER IN MUSIC, WHATWOULD YOU BE DOING? Definitely something that has a large element of creativity involved, like painting or design, or something between design and a form of photography. I've also thought a lot about having a bike shop.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO IN YOUR FUTURE CAREER?
Hopefully sustaining it and being able to continue doing it and making music.I'd like to be able to live and take care of myself and my loved ones and do what I love.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR COLLEGE AGE PEOPLE?
KENNY'S JACKSON
I think college is a beautiful and rewarding thing. It can give you a strong context for moving forward, as long as you are moving forward. But being a professional student is a danger, mostly for financial reasons. So keep diggin' try and remain curious and never lose wonder. Never let things be so controlled. Pursue passion.

Patrick Monroe, a senior from New Berlin, Wis., looks through a lens to focus a shot for his documentary. The documentary features the "Can We Talk" program at Free State High School, which focuses on racial issues in public schools.
editor@kansan.com
Sylvia Yimer, a graduate student in the School of Social Welfare, went to visit the program "Can We Talk" at Free State High School. "Can We talk" is a localized part of a national program. Yimer said her visit was driven by her interest in race equality in public schools.
Yimer said the program was meant to facilitate understanding of different races and reduce the academic performance gap between white students and students of minority groups. She said she was surprised by how unrecognized the program
A group of University students is producing a documentary called, "Courageous Conversations about Race," a program encouraging high school students to face racial issues.
Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
Monroe said it was great to know that Sylvia was as dedicated as he was to filming and directing.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."
Yimer said Singleton was personable. The author set aside more than four hours of his day to meet exclusively with Monroe and Yimer.
The program is inspired by the book "Courageous Conversations about Race — a Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools," by Glenn Singleton and Curtis Linton. In February, Yimer and Monroe flew to San Francisco to interview and film Singleton.

Movie Review Bully
I will just use the text content as it appears.
The image shows a group of children sitting in a school bus. They are facing forward, and their expressions vary slightly, with some looking directly at the camera, others smiling or frowning, and one child seems to be sleeping. The interior of the bus has large windows that reflect the surrounding trees and sky. There is no visible text on the seats or windows.
// LANDON MCDONALD
"Bully" is ostensibly an effort to show how the problem of bullying has developed into a full-blown epidemic, how the recent spike in teen suicides has carried with it a rancid undercurrent of startling cultural prejudice, homophobia and the kind of malignant stupidity that could easily be mistaken for evil. It paints a tender, vivid portrait of bullied youths and their families, including two couples whose children turned to self-destruction after years of torment and ridicule.
But does Lee Hirsch's documentary, which opens amid a well-publicized ratings tiff between the MPAA and executive producer and notorious Oscar hoarder Harvey Weinstein, really do justice to its subject? On one hand, it has popularized an issue that too many school administrators seem content to shrug off as part of the rigors of growing up. And no one can doubt the sincerity of the families affected, many of who have since rallied in
Yet the film itself is far too narrow in its focus, framing the problem as a regional quirk by insisting that all its subjects hail from working-class Bible Belt communities, a decision which has already led to predictable accusations of coastal elitism and the concealment of thornier psychological implications regarding the universal cruelty of children. The phenomenon of cyber-bullying, an often-anonymous brand of harassment that led to a number of the suicides the film mentions, is barely touched on.
I'm also skeptical about the legitimacy of certain sequences. A frail, bespectacled middle-schooler named Alex is savagely beaten aboard a school bus with one of Hirsch's cameras stationed only a few rows away. There has been no obvious attempt to hide the camera. Did the bullies know it was there? Did they care? Should

In the end, the kids are the film's saving grace. Alex, awkward and unknowable, has been numbed to the point where he regards the bullies as his only point of human contact outside his immediate family. Kelby, a lesbian tired of being persecuted at her high school, is pulled back from the brink by her merry band
the cameraman have intervened? No one ever elaborates.
of friends and lovers. The best friend of an 11-year-old suicide victim reveals that he was once a bully himself. And, in the film's most achingly honest scene, a kindergartner is asked how he feels about a bully calling him a faggot. His answer: "It breaks my heart." Despite all its faults, "Bully" might do the same for you.

--over the city like a dirty hangnail. An elite SWAT team under the command of Jaka (Joe Taslim) is dispatched to storm the building and arrest the mobster by any means necessary. Rama (Iko Uwais), the unit's token rookie and expectant father, is there with an ulterior motive: to find his no-good gangbanger brother Andi (Doni Alamsyah) and bring him home. And that's all you need to know. The rest is sound and fury, signifying the arrival of a new gold standard for action cinema.
You can't keep a Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian) down in the Indonesian martial arts extravaganza "The Raid."
Movie Review The Raid
CONTRIGUTED PHOTO
// LANDON MCDONALD
Believe everything you've heard about this one. Gareth Evans" "The Raid" is a certifiably insane bone-cruncher of an action film; doused in uncut adrenaline and primed to detonate in a glorious firestorm of high kicks, low blows and a disturbing appreciation for what bullets, blades and exploding refrigerators can do to the human body. I haven't seen perfectly choreographed mayhem of this caliber since the glory days of John Woo and Bloody Sam Peckinpah. Here's a film designed for your inner caveman, the hulking brute that nearly tore out your spinal column and used it to pole vault when your better half-dragged you to see "Titanic 3D."
The set-up couldn't be simpler. An Indonesian drug lord rules the slums of Jakarta with an iron fist thanks to his most vicious enforcer, the appropriately named Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian). The kingpin's entire operation is housed in the grimy confines of a 30-story tenement building, an ugly slab of concrete that looms
ONTRIBUTED
Despite originally hailing from Wales, Gareth Evans has done more to popularize Indonesian martial arts than any filmmaker alive. The style most often showcased in "The Raid" is the discipline known as Silat, which involves the careful manipulation of one's joints in conjunction with wielding multiple blades. The result is fight choreography like none you've ever witnessed; a blood-drenched ballet of death that couldn't be replicated with even the most finely detailed CGI. The combatants become a flurry of appendages, landing blow after blow in rapid succession until the enemy is literally torn open.
doubles as his own stuntman, adding to the seamless quality of the film. Ruhian, who brings an almost mythic malevolence to the role of Mad Dog, even trained for the Indonesian equivalent of the Secret Service. Uwais, whose character quickly becomes our central protagonist, also astounds, both with his incredible martial prowess and the occasional flicker of vulnerability he lends to Rama and his quest

to redeem his wayward sibling.
For those who still take their action red of tooth and claw, seek out "The Raid" and treat yourself to a full-tilt action smorgasbord. But be warned: it might sour you on Hollywood blockbusters for a while. Turns out they really do make 'em like they used to, at least in Indonesia.

--h al Schultz and Lisa Barcus sit patiently in their apartment. Hal has a big smile on his face as he answers every question with ease, jumping at the chance to elaborate on a story that comes to mind. Lisa sits across from him, reserved and shy. When I ask her a question, Hal encourages her to answer by gently saying, "You've got this one honey." As Hal speaks with pride about how they met, Lisa sits back in her chair, carefully listening as he explains how their love blossomed.
a love that
outweighs it all
Although Lisa and Hal's love story is comparable to any couple, something sets them apart. Lisa, 31, was born with Down syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body and brain's normal development, while Hal, 31, was born with the congenital disorder cerebral palsy, which impacts how the brain and nervous system function. Down syndrome can cause mild to moderate intellectual impairment, and cerebral palsy can affect one's movement, language and memory. Hall's cerebral palsy is a mild case, while Lisa has trisomy 21, the type of Down syndrome where her 21st chromosome is affected; instead of two chromosomes she has three. Despite having to grow up with many odds against them, their supportive families helped them thrive in their home and school environments.
Hal Schultz and Lisa Barcus have been together for six years. Despite having disabilities, they thrive in the Lawrence
Jennifer Carroll, resource specialist at the National Down Syndrome Congress in Roswell, Ga., says that there was a time when parents were told to put their children with developmental disorders such as Down syndrome into institutions. The congress, which provides information, advocacy and support for individuals with Down syndrome, believes that 50 years ago these children were kept at home and most people would never see a child with disabilities out in the community. "About 20 years ago is when things started to change," Carroll says. "It was then that children could access speech therapy and occupational therapy. They began going to school, and their regular peers were able to learn alongside the students with disabilities."
community and as a couple // ALIZA CHUDN
In the U.S. today, there are an estimated 400,000 people affected by Down syndrome and 500,000 people affected by cerebral palsy. Caroll says less than 1 percent of people with Down syndrome get married, but she hopes that number
will soon change. "Last year we had our national convention where more than 300 individuals in the U.S. attended," Carroll says. "Out of those 300 individuals, I would say we had two couples who have been married, a lot of boyfriends and girlfriends and a lot of engaged couples." As the saying goes, all you need is one;
even people affected by developmental disabilities need love in their lives, which leads to Hal and Lisa's story.
love at first sight
Hal and Lisa's love story began six years ago at a national sales convention for people with developmental disabilities. At the time, Hal lived in Overland Park while Lisa lived in Lawrence. When they both traveled to the convention, Hal's friends mentioned Lisa's name to him explaining that he would really like her. "My friends said they knew Lisa was a little bit shy so they decided to join us when we met," Hal says. "And that's what

happened. I was a little bit nervous, I don't know about her." Lisa, now smiling, shakes her head when asked if she was nervous, and replies with an immediate no.
That trip to Anaheim where they first met was one of their best memories because they were also able to go to Disneyland together. "We got to go to a special part of Disney with a lot of rides and food," Hal says. "That was really fun." Within a year of dating, Hal told his mom that he was moving to Lawrence for Lisa. That was five years ago, now the couple is currently living together, going through their everyday tasks by each other's side.
thriving in the community
Although Lisa and Hal are able to live alone, together in an apartment in east Lawrence, they still receive support from Cottonwood, an agency whose mission is to help people with disabilities shape their own future. Cottonwood is considered a full-service agency that serves more than 580 people by offering day programs, residential programs and employment programs. In Lisa and Hal's case, it provides them with different employment opportunities through contracts with Cottonwood as well as different places in Lawrence.
Hal works five days a week at Cottonwood and the nonprofit organization the United Way, to support people with developmental disabilities in Lawrence. Lisa is also employed at Cottonwood and spends two days a week at McDonalds as well. Peggy Wallert, the director of community relations at Cottonwood, worked directly with Lisa and Hal and believes it's a remarkable feeling to be a part of something that is making such a difference in people's lives. "There is a lot more that I take home every night than I could possibly give," Wallert says. "You learn so much, it's like being in a 'Cheers' environment. Everyone knows your name and wants to share with you. Hal and Lisa, and all the people that work here are tremendous."
While working during the day keeps both Hal and Lisa busy, they are able to spend their nights together cooking dinner, watching TV or going to different Parks and Recreation activities. "They make each other laugh and help each other when they are sad," says Lisa's mom, Angie Barcus. To cheer each other up after a long days' work, Lisa gave Hal a cassette tape while Hal surprised Lisa with sacks of candy. They also make sure to help one another around the apartment, and always cook dinner together. "A great thing about them as a couple is they are so complementary with their strengths and weaknesses," Barcus adds.
As far as bills go, they both split their payments equally, each paying 50/50. They also have their own, individual lease on their apartment, and when it comes to groceries, they buy their own separate things." "They have a staff person from Cottonwood pick them up and they always schedule their rides whether that is to the store, work or night activities," Barcus says. Technically, Barcus and Lisa's dad are her guardians, but they still urge her to make her own decisions and are amazed by everything she has accomplished, including being together with Hal. "I think everybody should have a partner in life," Barcus says. "They are a great couple, and it is neat to see that yes, it can happen. I hope all people regardless if they have a disability or not can have what Lisa and Hal have."
Just like any couple, Lisa and Hal have experienced different obstacles in their relationship. When they first started dating, Lisa had some medical problems that were hard for Hal to handle. "Hal was very concerned about Lisa," Barcus says. "That was probably the worst obstacle they have dealt with, but Hal was very supportive, and they did very well working together to get each other through it." The two aren't perfect though, as they do fight from time to time. Usually when they argue, they can work it out themselves, but once in a while they will turn to Barcus for help to sort out their problems. "Sometimes Lisa or Hal will call me and say what happened," Barcus says. "I try to listen and give them their options of what they can do."
Another topic that the couple must deal with is the possibility of having children of their own. Barcus has discussed her concern with Lisa about having children and the possibility that if she did, her children would be likely to have Down syndrome. Resource specialist Carroll says that because Hal does not have Down syndrome, there is a 25 percent chance that the couple's children could be born with the disorder. "They definitely know the issues and the fact that if Lisa ever became pregnant, there is a chance of having a child with Down syndrome,"
Barcus says. "I think they understand that along with the physical parts of their relationship."
natural ties
One organization that's become prominent in Hal and Lisa's lives is Natural Ties, a KU organization founded in 1988, that strives to integrate people with developmental disabilities into college life. The KU Greek system plays a significant role in Natural Ties as it was started by the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon after they formed a bond with a boy who has developmental disabilities and made him an honorary member of their fraternity. It was then they decided to create an organization that could help many people with disabilities living in the community. Now, almost every fraternity and sorority on campus are paired with one or more people with disabilities and are able to engage in different activities with them. Lisa has participated in Natural Ties for the past 10 years, while Hal has participated the past six.
Andrew Edmunds from Prairie Village, and Mike Lierz from Saint Joseph, Mo., both sophomores and members of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, have been paired with Lisa and Hal since the start of their freshmen year. Every Wednesday they drive over to Lisa and Hal's apartment to pick them up and take them to a Natural Ties event, such as holiday parties, movie nights and game nights. "They love events where they can eat," Andrew says. "Hal likes Cherry Coke and Lisa likes Dr. Pepper." Hal agrees with this statement saying that their favorite event is when they go out to eat at CiCi's Pizza. Although Andrew and Mike did not know what to expect before their first time meeting Lisa and Hal, they have developed a friendship with them that continues to grow every day. "They always remember everything you say," Mike says. "We've gotten really close the past two years. We absolutely consider ourselves friends with them."
For some students, Natural Ties is all about forming bonds with people they normally wouldn't interact with. Codirector and senior Erin Atwood, Topeka, has been involved with Natural Ties since her freshman year and thinks the organization is really good for college students who don't know how to act others who have disabilities."Natural Ties puts you in a very laid-back, relaxed environment," Atwood says. "Going to these
events and being with the same people every week, you really do become friends." Hal and Lisa know just about everyone at Natural Ties as they have formed many lifelong friendships through the expanding organization. "There are about 100 ties," says Caroline Godfrey, social coordinator, junior from Leawood. "We have really grown. Sometimes it is challenging because you have to plan a big enough space and enough food for 200 people. But it is definitely worth it when you see that moment where everybody is having a good time, the energy of the event is up and you can tell there is no stress living in that moment."
fireworks
Lisa remained very quiet throughout the evening, listening intensely to everything Hal said. It wasn't until my last question that she sat up, eyes wide, ready to speak. "I have something to say," she said in a gentle voice. She turned to look at Hal for a brief second then turned back to me. "When I first met him it was kind of like fireworks shooting off." That answer says it all. Regardless of their disabilities, it is safe to say Lisa and Hal share a love that anybody should envy, a love that outweighs it all.
DIFFICULTIES WITH GETTING LEGALLY MARRIED Jennifer Carroll, the resource specialist at the National Down Syndrome Congress says that sometimes it is difficult for people with Down syndrome to get married. Individuals with the disorder receive social security benefits, but if they were to get married those benefits would go away. "That's one of those things I think is very unfair," Carroll says. "They need that money to pay rent and utilities, it's not enough to live off of, even if each spouse has a job." Because of these financial difficulties, a lot of couples choose to live together without receiving a legal marriage license. "There are a lot of programs that provide services for people who want to live together on their own," Carroll says. Married or not, couples with developmental disabilities are learning to overcome government regulations, by living their lives to the fullest.

A group of University students is producing a documentary called, "Courageous Conversations about Race," a program encouraging high school students to face racial issues.
Monroe said it was great to know that Sylvia was as dedicated as he was to filming and directing.
Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."

TOP ALBUM:
Not for the faint of heart: The Mars Volta
The slow-tempo rock sounds of The Mars Volta, an American progressive rock band that formed in El Paso, Texas, blare from my laptop's speakers from a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments. The band's sixth full-length album, "Noctourniquet," topped the KJHK charts this week at No.1, beating out new music from bands Bear in Heaven and White Rabbits.

Capps says that the album is mellower and has catchier choruses than those in the past, and compares it to the sounds of bands Radiohead and King Crimson.
"Mars Volta is the type of music that I listen to when I'm in a doldrums-type of mood," says Ashton Capps, an interior and environmental design student. "It's something that's not going to be boring to my ears. I listen to take my focus off of other things on my mind; there's so much going on in the music that it takes over your head."

Making Movies On No Budget YOUNG FILMMAKERS USE LIMITED RESOURCES TO CREATIVELY OVERCOME CONSTANT OBSTACLES // ALEX TRETBAR
PEACE
Brian
Christopher Good, 31, is an independent filmmaker based out Kansas City. He was able to raise $20,000 through Kickstarter.com to fund his current film project "Mudjackin'." CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Christopher Good asks his girlfriend and co-producer to call one of their lead actresses with a costume question.
"Ask her if she still has the same outfit from when we filmed at the Ozarks," Good says. "Remember, the pink thing?"
This is just one facet of what Good, 31, and other independent filmmakers call "no-budget" production. Good and his girlfriend, Megan Mantia, are getting ready for a shoot at Mantia's parents' house in Lenexa. They're working on Good's first feature film, "Mudjackin", and the pair has to jump through a number of hoops to make the project possible—but it takes time and patience.
"One thing that slows the process down is having to work around people's work schedules," Good says. "It just takes longer. We can't have concentrated bursts of filming because of it and, of course, there are the money-related issues. We make a lot of trips to Home Depot and Hobby Lobby."
But Good and Mantia were able to raise their goal of $20,000 last July through Kickstarter.com, a website that enables anyone to pitch ideas to friends and strangers alike, who then decide whether the project is worth donating cash toward. Most notably, 63 people donated between $25 and $50, and three donated between $2,500 and $5,000.
"Mudjackin" is an absurdist summer comedy set in the Ozarks. Mudjackers are
workers hired to repair sinking concrete by drilling a hole and filling the area underneath the concrete with a mixture of mud and concrete, raising the sidewalk or driveway back up. The story revolves around two mudjackers trying to have the summer of their lives. The pair have a rap-metal project, rival mudjackers show up and the story eventually becomes a kooky murder mystery.
Before "Mudjackin", Good, who graduated from KU with a psychology degree in 2003, wrote, directed and produced two short films, "Return of the Gumshoe Kids" and "Holy Moly," released in 2010 and 2011. Good's style is frantic and fast-paced with dark comedy sprinkled throughout. He says "Mudjackin' has roughly 200 scenes, and the script isn't even complete yet.
Good first met Mantia, 28, when she helped organize a screening for him at Tivoli Cinemas in Kansas City's Westport district. He eventually asked Mantia, who graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2006, to help him get "Holy Moly" started, and the two began dating shortly thereafter.
"He's ultimately at the helm," Mantia says. "I've filled the roles of co-producer, production coordinator, manager and documentation photographer. And those often extend to craft services—I'm the general gopher. Sometimes I help with casting, props; even hand-stitching letters
to a jacket for a costume."
"Mudjackin" is coming along, but as lead actor Jimmy Darrah explains, Good's filmmaking process is careful and patient.
"It's a lot of hard work," Darrah, 28, says. "He's definitely a perfectionist who really really knows what he's doing, and he knows what he wants. He does a lot of takes until he gets exactly what he wants from me. It just really rewarding—I love working for him."
Good, Mantia and Darrah face problems and issues throughout the production process, but imagine the difference $20,000 makes. Graham Young, a Lawrence filmmaker, doesn't have that kind of money, but he makes do.
Young, 29, graduated from KU with a theater and film degree in 2008. He began production on his film "Kurtwood" at the end of last summer, finishing filming within the first few months of the fall semester. Having worked on the film for the better part of a year with virtually no budget ($763.41 to this date, which Young insists is not much in the film world). Young is finally close to finishing. It's been a rough road, though.
"The hardest part is finding people that want to work for free," Young says. "When you're working at an independent level it's hard to find people that can sacrifice a number of things, including pay. The good thing about independent filmmaking is that it allows you to solve problems
creatively instead of having to use your checkbook."
But, as in the case of Good and Mantia, Young needed a second-hand man. Young met Jordan McClain, 22, about four years ago when McClaim first moved to Lawrence from Wichita. Last summer Young asked McClaim to sort through multiple film ideas, and they eventually settled on "Kurtwood," a story about a prisoner who learns of a fortune hidden on the outside. McClaim, who is set to graduate from KU with a film degree next month, offers advice to the budding filmmaker.
"Be prepared for constant failures and constant difficulties, 'cause they'll happen a lot," McClaim says. "The most important thing for a young filmmaker is just to produce stuff. The value of having physical material to show people is irreplaceable."
Young says "Kurtwood" will be done by June.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO...
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO... Level with a Brazilian Druglord //AS TOLD TO JOHN GARFIELD BY SARAH STERN
During the course of a photo assignment in Rio de Janeiro, Sarah Stern, junior from Lawrence, found herself in a precarious situation after irritating the local drug runners.
Rocinha was run by the drug traffickers, the mother-of-all Rio slums. It was, however, the home of an uncommon, dignified and improvisational brand of beauty. The resilient and jubilant population offered a sharp contrast to the dire circumstances of their survival.
For my two partners and me, capturing that beauty on film was a careful game of trying not to step on toes. The cameras drew apprehension from the gang-bangers, and a temporary lapse of judgment cost one of my partners his equipment.
He had ignored advice never to shoot without a guide, and had thoughtlessly captured a dealer on film. We had heard horror stories of a murder following a similar incident, but I felt we had nothing to fear. We were no narcs, but a steady uneasiness nagged at me the days after.
I spread word of our good intentions, asking around for a chance to meet the man who ruled Rocinha.
Through broken Portuguese patched with Spanish, I had finally arranged to meet with "Nem," the leader of the local gang. We were led up through the winding, crowded streets of the slum, to a gigantic party where I joined the crowd in Samba to ease the tension of waiting.
Called out of the crowd, we ascended to our audience and were greeted by an unassuming character. He seemed tame collected. A young, well-dressed man, he listened politely as I explained our good intentions and my partner's unfortunate oversight.
He was kind and receptive, and ordered the camera returned so that we could continue to document his kingdom. I enjoyed a breath of relief and returned to the party to dance.
Months later, at home in America, I saw his face on the news. Antonio Lopes, one of the most wanted criminals in Latin America, was on trial and linked to dozens of murders. In hindsight, the situation might have jarred me, but I was 20, American, by no means did I imagine I could have died there, by the hand of a drug kingpin.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO... Have Lyme disease //AS TOLD TO KELSEA ECKENROTH BY SAMMI WHITCUP
504116829327
Sammii will probably have the disease the rest of her life, but has had no serious side effects.
Sammi Whitcup, a junior from Vienna, Va., was a junior in high school when she found out she had Lyme disease, a bacterial infection transmitted by a tick bite. Whitcup doesn't know when she got the disease, but has had it for more than seven years.
I started showing symptoms in junior high and didn't know what it was. The symptoms are vague, but my left knee kept swelling and I had no idea why. I was tired all the time and my dad wouldn't be able to wake me up for school. The symptoms got worse by the time I was in high school, so I went to the doctor and got a blood test done. Blood tests aren't always accurate and sometimes give a false negative, so the doctor drained fluid out of my knee and tested it for Lyme disease. The test came out positive.
My family was in the room with me when I found out. We were all really shocked and asked the doctor all kinds of questions like if there was treatment or if I would be able to be cured. I didn't know if I was going to die or how serious
the disease was. My initial thought was that it would kill me. I don't even recall ever having a tick bite. I went to camp a lot growing up and Virginia has a lot of woods and trees, but I don't know where I got the disease. The doctor told me there's treatment for it, but it's experimental treatment. I've had Lyme disease for so long that it's chronic, so I'm going to have it for the rest of my life. I'm lucky because Lyme disease can also affect your brain and spine, but it only affected my major knee joint.

TEN THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT...
Liberty Hall //JOHN GARFIELD
1. The name Liberty Hall belonged to the original venue, built above a butcher shop in 1856. The title was a nod to Abraham Lincoln's having once called Lawrence the "cradle of liberty."
2. Before it held the original Liberty Hall, the space on the 600 block of Massachusetts belonged to the abolitionist newspaper the Herald of Freedom, which was burnt down in 1855 for being a "nuisance" to a Midwest that still harbored many people with pro-slavery sentiments.
3. The space that is Liberty Hall today was the prolific Bowersock Opera House from 1882 to 1911, when it perished in a fire.
4. Liberty Hall and the Lawrence Journal-World have a long and storied history of cohabitation. When the Bowersock Opera House burned down in 1911, it took the Lawrence Journal (half of the modern Journal-World) with it.
5. In addition to showing independent films, the theater operates a video rental store which offers many titles not available elsewhere in town.
6. Since being the original venue in the mid 1800s, Liberty Hall has been a half dozen venues including the Dickinson Theater, the Jayhawker Theater and the Red Dog Inn Night Club.
7. On your birthday, Liberty Hall will offer a free movie complete with a drink and popcorn and a free movie rental.
8. During World War II, inspectors certified the building that is now Liberty Hall as capable of withstanding an aerial bombing.
9. On Tuesday nights, theater tickets are two-for-one, making it a great place to take a mid-week date.
10. Liberty Hall is the only place in town to see a movie on the big screen while drinking a beer.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT... Water Fluoridation?
Poisoning the Well? //JOHN GARFIELD
PHOTO BY JOHN GARFIELD
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Douglas County's water supply contains 90mg/L of hydrofluorosilic acid, a byproduct of industrial fertilizer production. The fluoride compound is toxic and illegal to dump, but is added to municipal water supplies throughout the United States as a means of strengthening teeth.
While this number falls well within the 4mg/L figure established as safe by the U.S. National Research Council, international scientific research spanning the last 65 years links fluoride exposure at much lower levels to a variety of adverse effects. To name a few, scientists believe fluoridation to be linked to thyroid disorders, endocrine dysfunction, reproductive harm, skin conditions, brittle bones, immunodeficiency, premature puberty and even a lower IQ.
Fluoridation resistance has a history within Douglas County. With 6,000 members, the Community Mercantile represents about one in 19 Douglas County residents. According to Merc wellness manager Tyra Kalman, it is because of those 6,000 members and their skepticism of water additives that the Merc employs two separate water distillation systems.
Fluoridation is outlawed in the majority of European countries with many international scientists proclaiming that, at best, the verdict is out. Even the winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Arvid Carlsson, is an outspoken opponent of the practice, though the United States continues to champion it to be one of the top 10 greatest advances in public health policy since its implementation in the 1950s.
One of the most damning pieces of research occurred at the University of Surrey in 1997 after Jennifer Luke discovered that the pineal glands in some medical cadavers had accumulated fluoride to the point of mineralization.
The pineal gland produces melatonin for the human body. While many know melatonin to be the hormone associated with sleep, KU Professor of Molecular Biosciences Paul Kelly
explains that its function permeates all aspects of life;
"Melatonin is a secreted product of the pineal gland, and as you probably know that is functionally important for circadian rhythms; our ability to have an internal clock and be able to adjust a lot of the physiology and metabolism in our body, our brain and all our organs so that it is optimal for daylight, awakening behavior and also optimal for sleeping at night."
In a study to determine the effects fluoridation has on prepubescent mammals, Luke conducted a study for her doctoral dissertation comparing groups of gerbils with high and low fluoride diets. The results of Luke's study showed female gerbils undergoing puberty significantly earlier and male gerbils exhibiting lower mean teste weight after puberty after being given the high fluoride diet than after being given the low fluoride diet.
Dr. Albert Burgstahler, KU Professor Emeritus of Chemistry has been a lifelong skeptic of water fluoridation and maintains that the studies which led to its original implementation used scientifically-unsound methods. Historically, he has had an accurate track record of criticizing other harmful chemicals such as DDT that have since been repealed.
Burgstahler actually participated as a subject in the landmark 1944-45 study in Grand Rapids and Muskegon, Michigan that paved the way for fluoridation in the United States. However, he says that the sample size was adjusted partway through the study to include fewer schools. The remaining schools, Burgstahler says, happened to be in more affluent districts where subjects had greater access to dental care and quality nutrition, thus compromising the scientific integrity of the study and exaggerating the findings on a national scale.
Even in retirement from the University, Burgstahler presides over and contributes to the Fluoride Journal, a collaborative scientific effort that he has been a part of since its inception. The Fluoride Journal acts as a culmination of over 50 years of research from hundreds of scientists challenging the studies espousing fluoridation and pointing to the health complications it is linked to.
When reached for comment, Jeanette Klamm, Program Manager of the City of Lawrence Utility Department, said that neither her personal opinion nor anyone's opinion mattered in the implementation of water fluoridation. The decision, she said was the result of the ordinance passed in the 1950's, but that they would repeal fluoridation if a contrary ordinance were to pass.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT... Flash mobs?

In the summer of 2011, a shooting occurred at the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo. A group of teenagers gathered and the gathering took a violent turn, injuring three of them. The group was viewed as a flash mob, a public event where people appear together at the same time and perform a predetermined action and disperse.
Missouri and the executive director of the Kansas City Area Education Research Consortium, or KCAERC, are conducting research showing how and why teens organize flash mobs.
Hyunjin Seo, a journalism professor, says flash mobs are a growing cultural phenomenon. She studies the role of social media in different areas of communication and pays attention to flash mobs, which are usually organized by digital or mobile communication. Seo, along with a professor from the University of
The researchers developed a survey questionnaire based on 10 focus groups of teenagers from around the Kansas City area who they contacted through schools, youth centers and youth-oriented radio stations. The data collection began last December and lasted until March. They were able to identify the communication behavior and tools used to get information about flash mobs, which are social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube. Clay Larson, a senior from Lawrence, was part of the KU student section flash mob at the NCAA National Championship game this year. Larson received an e-mail about the flash mob from the company that sold the student tickets. The company also sent a video for students to watch and learn the dance moves.
soccer
The researchers are now analyzing the data that shows reasons why teenagers organize flash mobs. "The research is not to prevent teenagers from participating in flash mobs, because flash mobs are mainly benign, fun activities for them," Seo says. "The idea is how can the city provide a safe environment for teenage gatherings for teenagers to express themselves."

TAROT CARDS
The Tarot cards are a set of 78 cards that are divided into 12 houses. Each house represents a different aspect of life and is represented by a card with a unique symbol. The cards are arranged in a fan-like pattern, each card fanned out to show the whole set.
The symbols on the cards are often used to convey various messages or interpretations. For example, the tarot cards can be used to predict future events or to understand the current state of one's life. They are also used in spiritual practices and for divination.
The cards come in various formats, including printable versions, blank sheets, and card decks. They are available in both physical and digital formats, making them accessible to a wide range of people.
The Tarot cards are popular among people of all ages and backgrounds. They are known for their vivid imagery and their ability to convey complex ideas and emotions.
The Tarot cards are not only a tool for spiritual practice but also a source of inspiration and guidance. They can be used to explore the mysteries of the world and to find new insights into life.
The Tarot cards are also a popular gift item. They can be given as a gift to someone special or simply as a fun accessory to your collection of tarot cards.
The Tarot cards are a fascinating and intriguing set of cards that offer a glimpse into the world of tarot. They are a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about tarot and its uses.

Tarot cards help predict certain situations that seekers ask about
What comes to your mind when you hear the words "psychic," "tarot card," "crystal ball," or "fortune-telling?" You may think of one of those stereotypical psychics on TV with head wrap and a crystal ball talking to a call-in customer, or just a fun, unique way to spend your time. These are examples of metaphysics, which are philosophies and methods that help people understand reality in ways science can't explain. However you view these experiences, they are significant for some college students.
Belief in the paranormal or metaphysics increases during college from about 23 percent among freshmen to 31 percent in seniors, according to the study in 2001 conducted by Bryan Farha at Oklahoma City University and Gary Steward Jr. at University of Central Oklahoma with 439 college students. Another study done by Baylor University and the Gallup organization in 2006 with 1,721 Americans concludes that 52 percent believe dreams can sometimes foretell the future or reveal hidden truths, 30 percent think it's possible to influence the physical world through mind alone (telekinesis), more than 20 percent think it's possible to communicate with the dead, and nearly 40 percent believe in haunted houses. Horoscopes are common in newspapers, and there are psychic businesses everywhere, including places in Lawrence.
Aruna Dawn is a tarot card reader in
Lawrence and president of the Reiki Rays Institute, which offers online courses about metaphysics. Reiki is a form of healing by hovering hands over the client's body and channeling positive force. Tarot card reading interprets and predicts a certain situation with a deck of 78 cards. Each card represents distinct elements. For example, the card "devil" represents intense passion and possessiveness. Dawn says tarot is helpful for getting the answers you seek if you ask the right questions. "Who you are going to marry or winning the lottery are usually not the type of things to get the right answer," Dawn says. She also says that sometimes psychics are good interpreters of body language, voice and eye reactions rather than knowing what the cards are trying to say. "When talking to someone, you know what answer they want." Dawn says.
Perhaps this was the case for Emilie Newell, senior from Kansas City, Mo., Newell thinks tarot cards present universal lessons that are useful for getting a new perspective, but not necessarily tools of psychic power. Newell and her friend went for a palm reading at Lawrence Metaphysical Shop, 727 Massachusetts St., three years ago as "just sort of a fun, quirky thing to do." The psychic told Newell that she was going to either make or be part of a movie in mid-June, but that didn't happen. When Newell was studying abroad in the United Kingdom
On another hand, Nick Ward, graduate student from Shawnee, came out with an astonishing feeling after $35 tarot card reading at Lawrence Metaphysical Shop. The psychic accurately talked about how close he is to his family or how he tends to notice things in environment better than his friends do without Ward telling her. Ward says the psychic was even more specific when talking to one of his friends. "She told my friend that her boyfriend is her soul mate and that one of her friends is extremely jealous of her," Ward says. Ward's friend is now engaged to her "soul mate" boyfriend, and she is no longer friends with a former close friend after incidents that pointed to jealousy problems. Tarot card reader and Reiki master Aruna Dawn believes that real psychics exist, such as the psychic she encountered during a vacation in Massachusetts who read out of gemstones, and knew about Dawn's grandfather's death and how he used to play Frank Sinatra on piano. Although she thinks the gemstone psychic was the real deal, Dawn acknowledges that there are fake psychics out there. "A true psychic will not advertise that they can heal anyone," Dawn says. She also says psychics who advertise a low price, but offer more expensive services to answer some questions may be fake. This requires clients to come back and spend more money. "The key to a real, intuitive psychic seems to know specifics without you having to give them any information," Dawn says.
Metaphysics can be a unique way to help understand reality better, but some people become dependent and addicted to metaphysics, expecting that metaphysics can fix anything. Dawn says that there are clients who come back to ask the same question over and over again, only to not take the advice and come back to ask about fixing the same condition. "If I make them feel better and they keep injuring themselves, and I'm like a pain killer, I don't want my time wasted
and accused of doing something wrong," Dawn says. Having a metaphysical experience may not result in the accurate prediction of your future, but having exclusive attention on your problems and talking about them can be a remedy in itself.
TRYING OUT A CALL-IN PSYCHIC SERVICE
I was curious how much the "professional" psychics with "years of experience" are like. After trying it out, this is what I learned.
I call the number from an advertisement. A lady answered and I give my credit card information, and I was asked to choose a psychic after listening to the choices. Before connecting me to the psychic, the lady says "This reading is for entertainment purposes only," and I asked, "Wait what? So it's not real?" to which she says, "Oh we're just required to say that by law." Interesting, I was connected to the psychic and I complained about made-up boy problems. She talked about some general things, more like a therapist, but nothing about the future or specifics. She called me by my Korean name as given in the card information, and asked where I'm from. I replied "South Korea," and she says "Let's see. Let me try to see you how you look. Ahh, I see you have black hair and dark eyes." Are you kidding me? I'm Asian. Then she went on to say "and I see that you are patite, right?" Uh, yes. I am 5-foot-3, but I bet she was saying that out of a stereotype and not out of some psychic ability. I lie and said, "Not really, I'm five-eight." She replied, "Oh alright," and changed the subject about how my hypothetical boy needed professional help. After minutes of common sense, I asked directly, "So what can you see in the near future?" She replied that my dude and I will keep having conflicts, but that things will get better. Really? I can predict that too. I said thank you and hung up, feeling like I paid $10 for 10 minutes to talk to a nice, listening stranger than a psychic.

Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
Monroe said it was great to know that Sylvia was as dedicated as he was to filming and directing.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."

"As a filmmaker, I hope this will be a calling card not just for me, for the club, but for KU." Monroe said. "We want to show people what KU students are capable of"
Monroe said a lot of work needs to be done to make the documentary successful and he hoped they could eventually send the documentary to film festivals. He hasn't yet announced a release date.
Monroe said the project would expand through the school year and develop into a 70-minute feature.

DO THIS.. take a ghost tour //SARA SNEATH Learn about Lawrence's haunted history
A ghostly noise seeps out of the stone fireplace in the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Legend has it that in the early- 1900s Kansas Gov, Roscoe Stubbs, the resident of the house at that time, came home to find his mistress, Virginia, hanging from a third-floor ballroom. Stubbs had Virginia's body entombed inside the fireplace, legend says. A plaque on the fireplace adds to the tale. The plaque reads "The world of strife shut out, the world of love shut in."
This night the ghostly noises are coming from a fraternity brother who is entertaining a paranormal tour hosted by Ghost Tours of Kansas. The Sigma Nu house is the second stop on the tour, following the Eldridge Hotel. Each stop has its own history as well as several ghost stories. Olga Secvuka, a senior from Overland Park, says her favorite story was the one from the Sigma Nu house.
As Sevcuka enters the Pioneer Cemetery on west campus, she says she hasn't
seen paranormal activity yet, but thinks a cemetery is a good place to look. There are about 30 people of varying ages in the tour group. Nancy Sullivan, one of the paranormal tour guides, says Ghost Tours of Kansas chooses the ghostly locations based on interviews and investigations it conducts prior to the tours. Sullivan is also a member of the Kansas Paranormal Investigators, or KPI, which works with Ghost Tours of Kansas to verify just how haunted a place is.
KPI conducted an investigated of the Sigma Nu house in 2009. Sullivan says during the inquiry KPI recorded a disembodied voice saying "mommy." One of the KPI cameras was also dismounted from a stairwell by an unknown force, she says.
Sullivan says there will be more tours in the area as Halloween approaches. The next Lawrence tour is on June 16. For more information go to ghosttoursofkansas.com.

SERVICER
PHOTO BY OH SNAP? PHOTOGRAPHY
Sara poses in just her Marine Corps blouse
I like to do things that scare me. I've joined the Marine Corps, repelled off buildings, jumped off cliffs and, most recently, taken boudoir photos.
I heard about boudoir photography from a season four episode of Sex and the City in which Samantha decides to take nude photos to look back on. The idea sounded intimidating to me until recently when I read an ABC News story about the intimate photography sessions becoming a trend. One photographer in the story said 40 percent of the brides she worked with have booked boudoir sessions.
I found three photographers in Lawrence who take boudoir photos: OhSnap!Photography, Chelsea Donoho and Atomic Photography. The average price was $225. I decided on
OhSnap!Photography, because I've had good experiences with its photo booths and event photos in the past.
Ailecia Ruscin, the owner of OhSnap1Photography, arrived at my house at 10:30 a.m., but my nervousness began much earlier. I kept wondering how I should answer the door. It was like that moment in movies when the woman says she's going to "freshen up" and the man tries to decide whether this means he should take off his pants or not. I decided to take my pants off.
Ruscin put me at ease by giving good direction and constantly asking for my approval. She told me she would take several hundred photos — 682 to be exact — and I would pick 10 photos for her to edit. She would then give me all of the edited
and unedited images on a disc, which I could print or publish.
We took several pictures in "safe posses", which Ruscin said are flattering for every body. In one such pose, I lie on the bed, pushing my chest out and put my feet in the air. Afterward, we took fun photos. In one, I put on my Marine Corps blouse. In another, I wore apple print galoshes.
I saw the photos the next day, when Ruscin uploaded them to a password protected page on her website, www. ohsnapphoto.com. They were beautiful, artistic and classy.The images gave me just as much confidence as any cliff I've ever jumped off of or building I've repelled down.

After having warm squash soup throughout the day, she recovered from her illness, and continues to drink it often. "It was super yummy. It put me in good mood and I also felt relaxed. I had soup in bed and just took a nap that day and felt much better afterward" Kim says. Even when she's not sick, she still enjoys this recipe because it's healthy.
She says any kind of squash is fine, and even using pumpkin will result in a similar taste. The main ingredients are one squash, half a cup of rice flour, and three cups of water. Here are the steps:
- Peel the squash and get rid of the seeds.
- Dice the squash.
- Put it in blender and blend. You can adjust the timing depending on if you prefer lumpy soup or smooth soup.
- Pour three cups of water and the blended squash into saucepan and boil.
- When it boils, pour rice powder and stir, while heating on low.
- Let it simmer for about ten minutes.
- According to your preference, season the soup with salt and sugar. If you want the soup to be less thick, add more water or milk and simmer.

Brendan Dowdle, the general manager of Cork & Barrel Downtown, says he is no longer surprised by the new flavors vodka distributors come up with. Dowdle says the trend began last year with cake-flavored vodka. He didn't think it would gain popularity, he says, but after trying it, he understands.
"It's sweet and tasty," Dowdle says. "I drink it with grenadine and pineapple juice, as a shot. It tastes like pineapple turnover cake."
He says when a new flavor comes out Cork & Barrel Downtown, 901 Mississippi St. ,purchases two bottles. If those go over well, the store makes a bulk order. Dowdle says the wacky flavors tend to catch the eyes of students. Matt Easley, the general manager of On the Rocks, agrees.
"People in their early 20s are more willing to try things. They are trying to figure out what they like." Easley says.

Under the Tuscan Sun
Making a tough decision and coping with an irreplaceable loss
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Kelsea (far right) and her friends Katie and Dani stop to take a look at the Tuscan countryside.
I stared at the stacks of clothes on my bedroom floor trying to figure out how they were all going to fit in my suitcase. The next day, the last day of May in 2011, I was leaving for a month-long study abroad trip in Florence, Italy. As I was deciding if I should bring all of my dresses, or just three of them, I heard the phone ring downstairs.
My dad called from my grandparent's house in North Carolina. My Nana had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks before and my dad flew from our home in Kansas to visit her and my grandpa, whom we all call Pop Pop. My dad called to tell the rest of my family Nana's prognosis. The cancer had spread throughout her body. The doctors said she would die sometime within the next two days.
My Nana was 68 years old and a huge Chicago Cubs fan. Four years ago, my family went to a Cubs game while we were all in Chicago. My cousin and I made a sign saying, "We got Nana in the bleachers. Buy her a beer!" People bought Nana beer throughout the game and
When I heard the news about Nana, my body went numb and my eyes filled with tears. I crawled into my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I stayed like that for about two hours wondering how I would be able to go to Italy knowing my Nana was dying. I didn't know how I was going to manage being away from my family during such a hard time. I didn't know who was going to be in Italy to help me cope with Nana's death. I needed someone to help me make a logical decision about what to do.
Pop Pop called me a little while later. I almost didn't answer, but I'm glad I did because I don't think anyone else could have made me get my ass out of bed and find the strength to finish packing my bags. "Kels, your Nana would be pissed if she knew you didn't go to Italy because of her," he said in a tone I had never heard him use before. He sounded angry, but I could also hear sadness in his voice. Pop
Pop never gets angry, so I knew he was serious. I also knew he was right. I had to go. Nana wouldn't have wanted me to miss this opportunity and if she had been able to speak, she would have told me this herself.
I hadn't seen my Nana since summer 2010 when I was last in North Carolina. That year my grandparents hired a photographer to come to their house for a family photo shoot. We put on our best fake smiles and went along with it. At the end of the photo shoot, my family gathered in the backyard by the pool. I looked over and saw Nana whisper something to the photographer.
Nana started to run full speed towards the pool. When Nana got to the edge, the photographer snapped a picture as Nana jumped in the pool wearing a white shirt and jeans. When she surfaced, she had a giant grin on her face and looked at the rest of us as we laughed uncontrollably. That's the exact reaction she wanted from us. I have an action shot of her jumping into a pool fully clothed to remind me of how spontaneous and goofy she was. No

one would have believed Nana would be taken from us a year later.
The flight to Italy was long and miserable. I couldn't sleep and felt sick. I knew bad news was in my near future. After the plane landed and I got Internet access, I found out Nana died while I was in the air. I like to think that she waited to die until I couldn't change my mind about going to Italy.
The next few days were a roller coaster of emotions. I kept thinking I wanted to come home. My friends Dani and Katie were traveling with me and tried their best to cheer me up. A week went by and being submerged in a new culture with so many distractions eventually made the sadness temporarily disappear and gave me motivation to stay.
Nana's memorial service happened to be on the same day my friends and I planned to ride Vespas through the Tuscan countryside. I felt guilty. My family was gathering in North Carolina to mourn the loss of Nana, and I was in Italy about to live a day people read about in novels. I remembered the last time I spoke to Nana. I called her two weeks before she died. The last thing she said to me before we hung up was. "I love you sweetie. Have fun in Italy." I strapped on my helmet, hopped on the Vespa and took off.
I felt calm and at peace despite the wind whipping me in the face as we sped through the green Tuscan hills. I looked around at all the tiny stone houses sitting on the peak of each hill and wondered what it would be like to live there. Grape vines were planted in perfect rows, and as we went up and down the hills, the vines looked like they were moving in zigzags.
We pulled over to take a walk through a vineyard. Once we shut off the Vespas, it was completely silent. The grape vines looked so much bigger up close and the zigzags turned into lines of vines that went on forever. I gazed off at the panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside in front of me and couldn't imagine a more perfect moment. I was thankful that I was here instead of in North Carolina. I was closer to Nana here in my own personal heaven. She would have loved to live this moment and I was living it for her.

Sylvia Yimer, a graduate student in the School of Social Welfare, went to visit the program "Can We Talk" at Free State High School. "Can We Talk" is a localized part of a national program. Yimer said her visit was driven by her interest in race equality in public schools.
A group of University students is producing a documentary called, "Courageous Conversations about Race," a program encouraging high school students to face racial issues.
Yimer said the program was meant to facilitate understanding of different races and reduce the academic performance gap between white students and students of minority groups. She said she was surprised by how unrecognized the program
Last September, Yimer brought the documentary idea to a University student club, the Documentary Film Society. The student club was just established by then. The president of the club, Patrick Monroe, a senior studying film, was excited to hear about the idea.
"Film can be used to make change and be the outlet for voices that are marginalized to be heard," Yimer said. "These kids wouldn't get an opportunity to get their stories heard without someone giving that to them necessarily."
Monroe said it was great to know that Sylvia was as dedicated as he was to filming and directing.

Yimer said Singleton was personable. The author set aside more than four hours of his day to meet exclusively with Monroe and Yimer.
The program is inspired by the book "Courageous Conversations about Race — a Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools," by Glenn Singleton and Curtis Linton. In February, Yimer and Monroe flew to San Francisco to interview and film Singleton.
"It was easy to tell how passionate he was about his work and how eager he was to help us," Yimer said. "The interview with Glenn is by far the most important interview for the film."
anything solid to work on," Monroe said. "Then Sylvia called me with this golden idea."
Monroe said a lot of work needs to be done to make the documentary successful and he hoped they could eventually send the documentary to film festivals. He hasn't yet announced a release date.
"As a filmmaker, I hope this will be a calling card not just for me, for the club, but for KU," Monroe said. "We want to show people what KU students are capable of."

Engineering seniors compete in showcase
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
Engineering seniors competed for a $500 top prize, which was awarded to the highest-rated senior project at the third annual Senior Showcase. The event was on Wednesday evening in Eaton Hall.
Each engineering department selected their best projects for the competition, which was judged by representatives from Hemco Corporation an engineering corporation from Independence, Mo. that produces laboratory devices and appliances.
"Projects are judged on their use of the design process, their technical quality, and their implementation to society," said Megan Ketchum, a senior from Ottawa and officer of Engineering Student Council, which sponsored the event. "Some of these projects will actually be used in companies."
Ketchum said besides the judging aspect of the showcase, the event allows upperclassmen to give younger students an idea of what they will be doing for their future projects.
The showcase had two divisions conceptual design and project design in which there were five and nine entries respectively.
The jet engine design won first place in the conceptual design division. Second and third places were awarded to the airplane and petroleum designs, respectively.
In the project design division, the Jayhawk Motorsports electric car won first place. The Jayhawk Motorsports combustion car and the solar thermal heating systems won second and third place, respectively.
in the same division.
The first place projects won $500;
second, $250; and third, $100 in each
division.
Andy Petz, a senior from Lawrence, and his 10 civil engineering teammates showcased their display project — a canoe made entirely out of concrete.
The team just returned from the annual American Society Civil Engineering regional conference where it raced its canoe. The canoe, despite its concrete material, completed the 600-meter race in 5:30.
"We are showing off what we are trying to accomplish all year," Petz said.
Kim Fisher, a Billings, Mont., senior in petroleum engineering, and her two teammates won third place with their conceptual design entry. The group developed a secondary recovery for Brexco and Vess oil wells found in Thomas County.
"Usually there's at least 80 percent of oil left in a reserve after primary production," Fisher said. "Without our system, it would become uneconomical to pump the rest of the oil."
The team's proposed system would flood oil wells with water, which would push the remaining oil to the top and allows the company to double the amount of oil it produces from each well.
The team will travel to Wichita next week and present its project to companies, and it hopes the proposal will be put into production.
"We've put in countless hours working on this project," Fisher said. "We hope they choose our design," Fisher said.

MIGRATING MONARCHS
Warm weather brings swarms of butterflies to Kansas.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
The Monarch Watch habitat
mschmidt@kansan.com
Swarms of monarch butterflies are migrating to Kansas earlier than usual this spring because of the recent warm weather.
Chip Taylor, professor of insect ecology, runs Monarch Watch out of Foley Hall on West Campus, which acts as a preserve for the study, preservation and habitat for the butterflies of Lawrence.
"I have never seen this many butterflies before this time of year, in this garden or anywhere in Kansas," Taylor said.
Within the past week, Taylor has seen a great influx of the butterflies migrating from Texas, where fall and winter moisture provided ideal conditions for a boost in monarch populations.
contains a garden full of flowers and milkweed, which are necessary for monarch preservation. It also sees 10 to 15 butterfly species besides monarchs.
Since 2005, Taylor said, more than 5,300 similar habitats have been created and registered with Monarch Watch, with an additional 10,000 unregistered. These habitats are made in an effort to reverse eroding butterfly habitats, he said.
"We are losing so much habitat due to development — 6,000 acres everyday," Taylor said. "Monarch populations are much lower now than in the '90s."
the main food source for
Monarch Watch is hosting a plant fundraiser on May 12 from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. to sell 5,000 plants helpful for butterfly populations. Four thousand of these plants are milkweeds,
the main food source for Monarch caterpillars. Taylor also encouraged students to come to Monarch Watch to see the preserve anytime, as it's always open to the public.
Leslie Reece, a senior from Manhattan, has been working as a researcher at Monarch Watch since August. Reece helps raise monarch caterpillars and butterflies in the lab and is researching the respiration rates of male and female monarchs.
"My favorite part is learning about the species and the preservation of the habitat," Reece said. "We need to take care of their habitat and environment."
Chris Elniff, a senior from Baldwin, helps coordinate efforts to plant milkweeds as part of the
"Bring Back the Monarchs" campaign, which is a
part of Monarch Watch.
"I like having the opportunity to promote monarch preservation, because it's such a visible species," Elniff said.
He also noted how the unseasonably warm weather is bringing monarchs to Kansas earlier than ever, because the flowers are blooming earlier.
Taylor said the monarchs' livelihood in Kansas this year will all depend on the weather.
"If the weather patterns that we have now continue, this is going to be a boom year for pollination, and monarchs will bounce back," he said.

Taxpayers pay for presidential travel
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama flies Air Force One when he leaves town. So does Candidate Barack Obama.
Either way, taxpayers are on the hook for a hefty amount.
The souped-up Boeing 747 that typically serves as Air Force One costs $179,750 an hour to operate, according to the latest Pentagon calculations, meaning that expenses for presidential travel mount quickly.
And, no matter what the reason for the president's trip, there are all sorts of other necessary big expenses anytime he moves around the country; advance teams, cargo planes, armored cars, Secret Service protection, communications and medical staff and more.
Presidents always are quick to stress that they reimburse the government for the costs of their political travel.
That's true, but they do so under rules that still leave taxpayers paying most of the tab.
For political trips benefiting his own campaign, Obama's team repays the government for air travel under a formula that's based on what it would cost to charter a Boeing 737 for a comparable trip, according to the White House. Obama's campaign doesn't have to pay the full cost for a chartered plane, though. It pays a reduced amount based on the number of people aboard Air Force One who were traveling for political reasons. That number excludes Secret Service agents and other support staff
who always travel with the president.
Obama's political team also pays for items on the ground like food and lodging that are related to political events. Similar reimbursement rules govern political travel by the vice president and first lady, who fly on smaller, less costly military aircraft.
Despite the high costs to taxpayers, "these White Houses aren't doing anything wrong," says Brendan Doherty, an assistant professor at the U.S. Naval Academy who's written a forthcoming book on presidential campaigning.
If a president had to pay the true costs of his campaign travel, says Doherty, he'd never go anywhere for political purposes.
Obama is the first president to pay for re-election travel under updated rules adopted by the Federal Election Commission in 2009 to implement a lobbying and ethics reform law passed by Congress in 2007.
David Mason, a former FEC chairman, said the new rules — linking reimbursement amounts to charter air rates rather than commercial airfare — require the Obama campaign to pay significantly more than it would have under the old rules.
When President George W. Bush was running for re-election in 2004, his campaign and the Republican Party reimbursed the White House more than $1.3 million for "airlift operations," an Associated Press review of federal data shows. Those include itemized expenses for "inflight services."

40,000 gather to rally against far-right fanatic Breivik
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Some 40,000 people stand in drizzling rain in Youngstorget square, Oslo, Norway Thursday to participate in the singing of "Barn av Regnbuen." The song has become a signature tune for the victims of the July 22, 2011 bombing and shooting
1000
OSLD, Norway — They gathered by the tens of thousands in the drenching rain to face down terrorism with song.
Defiant singalongs of "Children of the Rainbow" were staged in Oslo and other major Norwegian cities, even as the ninth day of the trial went on with survivors of Breivik's attacks giving tearful testimony.
In downtown Oslo alone, about 40,000 people raised their voices as Norwegian artist Lillebojer Nilsen played the song, a Norwegian version of Seeger's "My Rainbow Race."
Drawn by a Facebook-organized protest, Norwegians flocked to public squares across the country Thursday and rallied against far-right fanatic Anders Behring Breivik, now on trial for a bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people.
They sang the Norwegian Ivries:
They sang a Norwegian version of a Pete Seeger tune that the confessed mass killer claims has been used to brainwash the country's youth into supporting immigration.
"A sky full of stars, blue sea as far as you can see
"An earth where flowers grow, can you wish for more?"
"Together shall we live, every sister, brother
"Young children of the rainbow, a fertile land."
Seeger's lyrics in the original version have a similar message of living together in harmony.
In testimony last week, Breivik mentioned the tune as an example of how he believes "cultural Marxists" have infiltrated Norwegian schools and weakened its society.
China to invest billions in projects in Central and Eastern Europe

WARSAW, Poland — Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said Thursday his country is setting up a $10 billion credit line to support joint projects with Central and East European nations.

Wen said that China would like to invest in infrastructure projects, new technologies and green energy in order to boost business and trade that would benefit both sides. He spoke at the opening of a business forum of hundreds of business people from China and Central Europe.
"China will work with countries in Central and Eastern Europe to mutually open the markets and to increase the trade exchange to $100 billion before 2015." Wen said.
In the biggest Chinese investment in the region so far, China's Wanhua Industrial Group has gained full control of Borsodchem, the Hungarian chemicals manufacturer, in a $1.6 billion deal.
construction of car and TV screen factories, as well as food processing plants.
Wen also pledged to open the Chinese market to goods from Poland and from Central Europe to balance the
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland is a good place for Chinese investment due to its persistent economic growth, in defiance of a global crisis, and due to its leading role in the region, where some of the countries are European Union members and some are attempting to join the bloc.
Chinese investment in Poland is valued at $120 million, according to the institute, while government figures say that total trade exchange last year was over $19 billion, but only 10 percent of that was Poland's exports to China.
In Serbia, the biggest Chinese investment is a $225 million bridge over the Danube river in Belgrade. Other projects in the region include

Analysts say missiles in North Korean parade were fake
TOKYO — Analysts who have studied photos of a half-dozen ominous new North Korean missiles showcased recently at a laivish military parade say they were fakes, and not very convincing ones, casting further doubt on the country's claims of military prowess.
But the weapons displayed April 15 during the failed rocket launch appear to be a mishmash of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel components that could never fly together. Undulating casings on the missiles suggest the metal is too thin to withstand flight. Each missile was slightly different from the others, even though all were supposedly the same make.
They don't even fit the launchers they were carried on.
The missiles, called KN-08s, were loaded onto the largest mobile launch vehicles North Korea has ever unveiled. Pyongyang gave them special prominence by presenting them at the end of the parade, which capped weeks of celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the country's founding father, Kim Il Sung.
That's a big concern because, along with developing nuclear

weapons, North Korea has long been suspected of trying to field an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, capable of reaching the United States. But after poring over close-up photos of the missiles, Schiller and Schmucker, whose company has advised NATO on missile issues, argue the mock-ups indicate North Korea is a long way from having a credible ICBM.
David Wright, a physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists who has written extensively about North Korea's missile program, said he believes the KN-08s could be "somewhat clumsy representations of a missile that is being developed."

Argentina's Senate approves takeover of energy company
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina Argentina's Senate on early Thursday approved the forced takeover of the YPF oil company from Spain's Repsol.
LUCHE Y UELAVE
YPF
The expropriation bill passed 63 to 3, with 4 abstentions. President Cristina Fernandez's allies control the Senate, and even opposition legislators said they would vote for the takeover even though they don't like the way Fernandez handled it.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Next week the bill will be voted on in the Chamber of Deputies, where it is also expected to pass.
A supporters of an oil nationalization bill proposed by Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez holds a flag reading in Spanish "Fight and return YPF" outside Congress as senators debate the bill in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Taking back Argentina's largest company from Spain's biggest company has proven hugely popular in the South American country, despite threats of retaliation from the Europe Union and fears of unintended consequences in the years ahead.
Fernandez infuriated Spain, Argentina's largest foreign investor, but elated many Argentines by expropriating Repsol YPF SA's majority stake in
Argentina's formerly state-owned YPF energy company.
Only two months ago, Repsol YPF uped its estimate for the shale oil and gas it found in Argentina to nearly 23 billion barrels, enough to double
the country's output in a decade, but the Spanish company said it would cost $25 billion a year to develop, and warned that Argentina would need to overhaul its energy policy to attract the necessary investment.

Universal faces risks with new movie release
LOS ANGELES — Thousands of theater owners and executives gathering in Las Vegas for the annual CinemaCon convention will see the first footage of Universal Pictures' "47 Ronin" on Thursday. But they won't get to showcase the big-budget Keanu Reeves action film in their cinemas this Thanksgiving as they had expected.
back the movie's planned release date of Nov. 21 to Feb. 8. The move was made because the remaining work on its extensive 3-D special effects would have made it difficult to hit the November date and impossible to assemble a compelling trailer ready to show this summer, when theaters are packed with audiences watching similar event movies, according to two knowledgeable people who were not authorized to speak publicly.

MTV's 'Jersey Shore' has a summer twist
But the network also believed it could be sitting on a gold mine, and programmers set about crafting a series that would depict its main characters in an unexpected way.
NEW YORK — Of all the people surprised when "Jersey Shore"'s Snooki revealed two months ago that she was pregnant, perhaps none were more taken aback than the executives at MTV.
The network had been planning to ride the high jinx of Snooki and gal pal JWoww in a new spinoff series titled "Snooki & JWoww," and the idea of following one of its main characters as she spends many of her nights taking it easy at home — sans alcohol, no less — wasn't exactly what they had in mind.

Beach Boys kick off 50th anniversary tour
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
TUCSON, Ariz. — Let's not make too much of the fact that the Beach Boys kicked off their 50th anniversary tour on casino grounds, nowhere near the beach, on a day that hit 105, with gusts of dry wind blowing in from the surrounding Arizona desert — not a wave, T-bird or little surfer girl in sight.
After all, the band, touring for the first time in decades with co-founders Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine, as well as longtime voice Bruce Johnston and early member David Marks, transcended the literal summer ages ago in service of the metaphorical kind, one that celebrated Southern California life and put sound to a cultural vibe.
This is one reason why at Casino del Sol on the Yaqui reservation, the band, augmented by a dozen instrumentalists and vocalists, was able to convincingly sing about summertime joys, fears and frustrations even though most of the remaining Boys have been doing this for four decades and are themselves approaching
proverbial wintertime.
The first of a five-month, 56-show tour that would challenge a band half its age, the Beach Boys will travel the arenas, festivals and outdoor amphitheaters of America (and, later in the year, Europe and Asia) offering a version of this concert.
If opening night is any indication, the Beach Boys will celebrate not only their sound, but the music that gave birth to it and was inspired by it. They performed songs by Phil Spector, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and the Mamas and the Papas, among others, while images of the band in its glory days cascaded across the big screen.
And if Wilson's distant onstage presence in Tucson is a hint, it's going to be a long summer for him.
Wilson, the sole living brother from the trio that included Dennis and Carl, has avoided the Beach Boys stage like the plague — while his revolutionary aesthetic has been reverently honored by new generations.

Starting over the summer, the University will be encouraging incoming freshmen and current students and staff members to read "Notes from No Man's
Land" by Eula Biss.
The initiative of starting a "Common Book" program is designed to foster feelings of inclusion for freshmen and boost the freshmen retention rate. Although this may or may not be the best idea the university's ever had, it's definitely not a bad idea.
At some other colleges, the common book is a part of a class that freshmen have to take. But the University of Kansas has made it convenient for upperclassmen to participate as well. They're even planning on bringing the author in to talk to
students.
By drawing on her experiences and research Biss creates a book that everyone can learn from.
While this isn't the most riveting way to involve students, "Notes from No Man's Land" is actually quite good. Sure, it's no movie, but through elaborate examples, Biss makes her points in a way students can relate to. In her first chapter she used the history of the telephone and telephone poles to illustrate the unintended consequences of their growth in a rough period in American history.
nected by everything surrounding them.
Gray Wolf Press, the book's publisher, describes the book on its website as "Eula Biss explores race in America. Her response
to the topic is informed by the experiences chronicled in these essays."
The book deals with more than racial relations in America. Although Biss uses her experiences as a teacher in Harlem during 9/11, a reporter for an African American newspaper and a spectator in Iowa during the days following Hurricane Katrina, she also addresses the ever present issue of finding one's place here. Regardless of where you are in your life, inclusion plays a role in our lives. Biss questions the idea that Americans aren't already con-
Regardless of your grade status, interests, and opinions about the program, "Notes from No Man's Land" is a read you should definitely check out this summer. Personal growth and a good book go hand in-hand, and the university has just handed you a summer starting place.

Add adventures to summer plans
Do you remember when summers meant adventures? Including discovering buried treasure with the neighborhood kids outside and watching cartoons during lunch?
Somehow that adventure some spirit disappeared from my summers. Well, I want it back.
I've devised a plan, a bucket list if you will, for my summer.
It's a fairly simple idea and easy to come up with. I encourage you to write your own, or steal my ideas and add some spice to your summer as well.
GO ON A PICNIC
I've always wanted to go on a picnic. The red checkered blanket, sandwiches and quality time with a good friend or significant other and the whole shebang sounds like fun. Just make sure it's a nice day and the chosen park, beach or field has a comfortable place to dine.
RUN A 5K
Last summer, the highlight was a 5K I ran with a friend. Every morning for the month before the run I woke up early and ran. This gave me a purpose. I had something that I had to do. Not to mention that afterward I felt like I'd accomplished something.
DISCOVER A HISTORICAL LOCATION
I've grown up within a two-hour radius of my house. Although I've explored several museums in the Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City areas, there's bound to be one that I've missed. The United States are filled with history and finding one new area to explore shouldn't be too hard or unreasonable.
READ A GOOD BOOK
During the semester, it's hard to read for fun. I'd miss
READ A GOOD BOOK
By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com
so many good books if I didn't have the summer to try to catch up.
GO ON A ROAD TRIP
SHOPPING SPREE
Ok, you caught me; I'm a broke college student and I don't have enough money to go on a real shopping spree. But I do have a lot of fun looking! One of my favorite parts about strapped for money is taking friends on a hunt for the best deal. Finding just one great buy and the quality time among friends make all the work worth it.
Despite my (somewhat) adventurous spirit, I've never traveled outside of the Midwest. It's time to change that. The change of scenery, maybe some mountains or an ocean might do me some good. Not to mention, it'd be bundles of fun to go on with a few friends to spend a few days with non-stop laughing.
TAKE A PERSONAL DAY
Like a lot of other students, I plan on being busy this summer. With jobs, internships, family, and summer classes, there's plenty of things to do. But let's not forget that it's summer. Relaxation has to be on the list somewhere, so why not here?
Okay, so maybe I have a lot of plans and things.I want to do, but at least I have no excuse to be bored this summer. I'll be creating adventures. I plan on making this my most successful summer yet; what will you be doing?

Running can improve people's well-being
"It seems weird that people run today for a hobby when it used to be more a function of getting somewhere. Why do people run in their free time?"
If you ask people whether they like to run, you typically either get one of two responses: "I love it," or "I hate it," usually with the latter being the more common response. Running is a behavior that works very intricately in our culture and therefore what motivates one individual doesn't necessarily motivate another. It's likely, however, that running generally motivates people by helping them take control of the challenges in their lives and improve their health to boot.
By Michael Sofis
msofis@kansan.com
People enjoy running because it simulates life and its challenges, victories, and everything in between. This was clear when looking on the website of Runnersworld.com, the number one site for running. The site has a current reader contributed segment called, "Why Run." One of the first responses given was from a women saying, "I have a disabled daughter and I started running so I could do the Pleasant Prairie triathlon, which raises funds for her therapeutic recreation program. I began running when I was 42 and ran my first marathon at 48. Why I run? For my beautiful girl, Christine, who can't!" Maybe the best overarching explanation came from one man who said, "I want to discover what that limit is. I'm 58; I have finished all 23 marathons that I started; I PRd (personal record) 5 years ago. Now I'm out there running to enjoy my ability and find my limit. Life is a point-to-point course and we have no idea what the distance is."
It's clear that running symbolizes and eventually becomes a representation of confidence, achievement, and overcoming of personal goals. The behavior of running generalizes to many other aspects of life where personal initiative is necessary and the ability to overcome obstacles is just as crucial. Performing such tasks while running symbolizes such accomplishments.
Another crucial detail to why runners run is the physiological component. When running, and especially after a consistent schedule is followed, runners get what is a called the "runner's high," which is essentially a mix of endorphins and other chemicals making the runner feel great. This great physiological feeling is paired with the previously mentioned behavior of accomplishing goals and breaking personal records. This is vintage classical conditioning which is illustrated by Pavlov's dogs. Pavlov would ring a bell right before or during giving his dog's meat and therefore the dogs associated the previously neutral bell with the reward of meat. Something similar happens with humans when very pleasurable experiences (physiologically and chemically speaking) occur during certain behavior (i.e. running).
When you add in the health benefits and increased life expectancy it begins to seem pretty sensible to pick up your old sneakers and head out for a short run. When you feel great physiologically while you achieve goals, you might surprise yourself with your own ability, and you'll feel more apt to do so with other goals in life. Maybe that's why it's a common expression to say, "I'm a runner for life."

FOOTBALL
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Weis stresses importance of team discipline
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
When Charlie Weis took over the Kansas football program in December, he made it clear that he wanted to bring discipline back to a team that lost its way.
The Jayhawks lost their final 10 games in an excruciating fashion, with mental errors such as missed tackles and blown assignments occurring all over the field as their opponents routinely ran them out of the stadium.
After viewing the culture, Weis made discipline one of his top priorities.
"I think you only get one opportunity to set it right." Weis said "You only get one chance and you do not get a do-over. It is a common philosophy with coaches that
it is always easier to loosen up on a team after it has been rigid than it is to tighten up on a team after it's been lose."
The spring game this Saturday gives Jayhawk fans a first chance to see the new look of the squad and the adjustments their new leader is making.
One of the reasons this year's inter-squared tilt is generating more interest than in the past is because it is the public's first chance to see some of the new players Weis brought into the program, specifically highly touted quarterback Dayne Crist.
But while Crist may provide the excitement, especially after the team voted him a captain along with senior lineman Tanner Hawkinson and senior linebacker Toben Opurum, the true measuring stick for future football success lies in the improvements shown by the holdovers from the Turner Gill regime.
"I would just like to see us go out there defensively and run and tackle and have some fun," Weis said. "I would like to see us sling it around a bit on offense and have some success, especially with the front line guys to see how there continuity is playing with each other. I would like to be able to run the ball in the red zone when people are stacking it up on the goal line and daring you to run it."
It is unreasonable to expect a turnaround of seismic proportions. Kansas won't magically transform into Alabama's defense after allowing the most points per game in division one FBS last season, but if the secondary can avoid letting receivers break free over the middle,
it will be noted improvement.
It also may not be such a bad sight to see Weis get after a player that missed a block or dropped a pass with no defenders in the vicinity, something that was rarely seen on the sidelines during the Gill era.
The jawhaws lack depth in some areas such as the defensive line, but Weis still plans on having two squads competing in game situations. But as he waits for reinforcements to come in August, he knows the importance of player safety.
"At the end of the day I would like to see everyone walk off the field healthy, because we are going to need everyone," Weis said.

Jayhawks defeat Wildcats despite late game comeback

ainsenh@kansan.com
Coming off an emotional
walk-off game against Kansas State, the Kansas baseball team (17-25, 4-11 Big 12) looks to keep the momentum alive this weekend against Oklahoma.
April has been a roller coaster for coach Ritch Price's ball club, but since snapping an eight-game losing streak on April 14, the Jayhawks are 5-2 with wins over No. 2 Texas A&M, No. 23 Texas and rival Kansas State.
The Big 12 coaches picked Kansas to finish last in the conference, and with nine conference games remaining, the Jayhawks are poised to exceed expectations.
"I hope we'll play as good as we have been playing previous weekends," Price said. "It starts with our starting pitching, which has been really good. If we can continue playing like that the last three conference weekend series. I'll like our chances to get to the tournament"
Kansas' weekend starters have been effective all season, and sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan (4-5, 3.17 ERA) is coming off the best performance of his Jayhawk career. Duncan dominated No. 23 Texas on Friday, throwing a three-hit complete game in front of 6,256 people at Disch-Falk Field. The Big 12 named Duncan as the conference's pitcher of the week on Monday, and he is the first Jayhawk to win the weekly honor since junior pitcher Thomas Taylor did on Feb. 20. Earlier in the season the Jayhawks struggled to score runs in the first inning, however the Kansas offense has found a new rhythm of scoring at the beginning.. In the last seven games, the Jayhawks have scored a first-inning run in all but one game. Much of this first-inning resurgence is due senior third baseman Zac Elgie. Of Elgie's 26 RBIs this season, 18 have
come in the first inning.
Elgie said that he tries to set an example early on in the game, but he has seen the entire offense improve over the last couple weeks.
"The biggest things is that we've gotten to gel, but finally now, we are starting to get some hits together collectively as a group." Elgie said.
Elgie's walk-off homerun Wednesday against the Wildcats saved the Jayhawks from a devastating loss. With the confidence back on their side, the Jayhawks expect to avoid a letdown this weekend.
"I think we need to carry it over," sophomore outfielder Tucker Tharp said. "It was a big, exciting win for the team, and this will be a confidence booster throughout the whole lineup. To carry this over into conference play would be great."

Kansas earns Big 12 honors
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Junior thrower Mason Finley and sophomore spinner Diamond Dixon were named Big 12 track and field athletes of the week after both excelled at the Kansas Relays. It is the first time ever that two Jayhawks have won the men's and women's categories in the same week.
Finley threw the shot put over 65 feet, and Dixon ran a 400-meter race in 51.80 seconds and beat an Olympic gold-medalist.
It is the fourth time in Finley's three years at Kansas that he has won the award in the outdoor season. Dixon won the award in January, during the indoor season, and once during the outdoor season during her freshman year.
The two athletes share one other thing in common; both have said that the deciding factor in their original decision to come to KU was based on finding ideal coaches at the University.
Finley says coach Andy Kokhanovsky was an experienced thrower at the Olympic level and had a laid-back mentality.
The Big 12 championships take place in Manhattan from May 11
Dixon said coach Stanley Redwine was sincere and cared about his athletes.
Both coach Redwine and Kokhanovsky deserve credit for helping Finley and Dixon develop into national champion contenders in their respective events, but they say both athletes are determined and put in the effort it takes to improve.
Next week Finley will travel along with the rest of the throwers to San Diego for the UCSD Triton Invitational, while Dixon will compete on Saturday in Joplin, Mo., at the Bill Williams/ Bob Laptad Invitational with the sprinters and jumpers.
to 13. Even though there are two weeks left until the championships, both Finley and Dixon appear to be the favorites in their respective events.
Some of the distance runners including seniors Donny Wasinger, Austin Bussing, Zach Zarda, Rebeka Stowe, Shayla Wilson and, Cori Christensen, will be running in Stanford, Ca., for the second meet of the season, this time for the Payton Jordan Invitational.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. What was the most points junior guard Travis Releford scored in one game?
A: 28 against Oklahoma on Jan. 7.
THE MORNING BREW Recalling the players in their long journey
It was a season that will stay permanently with those who followed along. The Kansan men's basketball team didn't have much instant talent, but that's what made the season-long success so easy to root for. I covered the team from its first exhibition game against Pittsburg State to its loss in the national championship game against Kentucky. Like many of you, I witnessed Thomas Robinson's block and the eventual victory against Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse. I was there when Jeff Withey dominated Ohio State's Jared Sullinger in New Orleans. But when you have the fortunate position to talk with the players and coach Bill Self for an entire season and sit courtside to watch it all transpire, you harness an appreciation for some of the things that don't glisten or make the post-game replay.
I'll remember talking to Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson in the
By Max Rothman
mrothman@kansan.com
Fieldhouse on the team's media day. Taylor promised that he spent the summer practicing jump shots. Johnson said that his shot was like butter on a steak. I'm still not sure what he meant by that, but it oozed confidence and readiness for a long season. Taylor proved himself quickly, but it was the turnovers, not the shot that had fans worried. Well, both the shot and the turnovers were in order by conference season, so Taylor had one of the finest
senior seasons in Kansas history. Some hinted that maybe he, not Robinson should be named the conference player of the year. Johnson took a little while, but by the postseason, he was also playing some beautiful, clutch basketball.
I think about Jeff Withey after the loss at Missouri, face grim behind a cold sweat. He didn't score a point that night and was hardly playable. Not long after, he established himself as the conference's defensive player of the year. He was fouling less, staying on the floor against different kinds of lineups and blocking nearly anyone who challenged him. After he recorded 10 blocks against North Carolina State in the Sweet 16 and his team was one game away from the Final Four, Withey was the absolute man in the locker room. All the television cameras flocked. Reporters with pens, pads and recorders danced around one another just to
KU
get his quote. Withey shook his head and smiled, submerging himself in the joy that comes after a game well played.
After losing the title game to Kentucky, Thomas Robinson had few words. He probably knew his time in that Kansas jersey was done. Even more so, he knew how hard his team fought to get where no one thought they'd be. Conner Teahan had to pause after a question about his teammates. He ducked his head and had to pour tears that developed over years of watching, waiting and finally playing. It was all he had left.

As the football beat writer for the Kansan, I had the unenviable task of trying to pry interesting quotes from then-coach Turner Gill — the king of clichés.
During my first road trip covering the football team's game against Southern Miss, my colleagues and I were stranded outside M.M. Roberts Stadium because of a communication error. After two hours, our taxi driver finally arrived to take us back to our hotel. Unfortunately, he was completely hammered. The beer bottles clanked on the floorboard as he sped and swerved our shuttle back to the hotel.
My worst memory is easily when I made a stupid, rookie mistake and lost my awesome dream job halfway into the football season. I worked hard to return to The Kansan and rise to my current position as associate sports editor. But shortly after starting, one high-ranking Kansas athletics official asked me if I won my job in a contest.
Daily Kansas, I couldn't help but think of all the stories and experiences I have collected while covering Kansas sports.Several of those stories are unpleasant memories I've tried filing away. It seems at times I have been snake-bitten in my two years as a student journalist.
But the best story from my two years is you (yes, yes) reading my Friday columns. I got a rush of pride every time I saw one of you reading one on the bus. My face lit up every time one of you sent me feedback, good or bad.
I learned that Baylor and the staff at Floyd Casey Stadium puts on perhaps the best media brunch buffet in the country. In fact, I learned that several times that morning. (Note: I could have filed the hours after the pregame gorging as a major negative.)
The fact that some of you care enough to read this transfer student's still-developing ramblings truly humbles me. And while my time here is done, I am confident someday your eyes will once again meet my text on some other platform.
I'm also confident I will have a new laptop when that time comes.
I have come to think that volleyball-beat writers should receive some sort of hazard pay, because while covering Kansas first conference home game last fall, a rogue volleyball off the palm of an Iowa State player smashed my laptop into pieces. Needless to say, every contest against Iowa State is now a rivalry game for me.

SPRING CLEANING
Senior quarterback Dayne Crist looks on as his team finishes drills Tuesday afternoon during practice.
WATCH FOR THESE FIVE

MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Saturday marks the beginning of a new era for Kansas football. The Jayhawks will play in their annual spring game, as coach Charlie Weis and his new staff will have their first opportunity to show of the team's improvements to Kansas fans.
Here are five players to keep an eye on when the Blue team faces the White team at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Senior quarterback Dayne
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
No other player on the Jayhawks roster has created buzz like Crist has since he signed on with Kansas in late December. The Notre Dame transfer was the top-ranked quarterback in his high school class and will have his first chance to flaunt his talents on Saturday.
Weis referred to Crist as a man among boys earlier in spring practice, and no other player has higher expectations on Saturday. Crist said he just hopes to be efficient during the game, and that his main goal is to have everyone leave the field in good health.
Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson:
No player during Turner Gill's two seasons at Kansas was more entertaining than Patterson. Along with the widely popular videos, "DP and AJ take on KU" Patterson was one of the most electric players Kansas has had to offer.
After his season-ending injury in the first game last season, Patterson took a redshirt and will
have a second chance at his senior campaign. He led the team with 60 catches in 2010 and will be a top target for Crist once again in 2011.
Senior defensive end Toben
The former running back is now in his third season with the defense and will be crucial player for the Jayhawks this season. With so many defensive struggles for Kansas last season, Opurum will have to continue to elevate his play and become the defensive presence that Gill and his staff first thought was possible.
He led the team last season with four sacks, seven hurries and 10.5 tackles for a loss. He'll be the anchor for a defense that looks to be much improved under new defensive coordinator Dave Campo.
Sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay;
In 2009, McCay was listed as a five-star recruit by scout.com. He signed with Oklahoma, but after a redshirt year followed by limited playing time last season, McCay transferred back to his home state of Kansas.
Because of a limited number of available participants, the Jayhawks will have their defensive lineman play for both teams during Saturday's game, giving Opurum many opportunities to get the fans excited about Kansas' defense in 2012.
the NCAA's denial of a waiver that would allow McCay to play this season for the Jayhawks, he'll play Saturday, and should turn heads in Lawrence.
He's a potential threat at receiver that Kansas has lacked since Dezmion Briscoe was drafted in 2010. While Kansas is appealing

Junior quarterback Jake Heaps:
Heaps, like Crist, was the number one ranked quarterback pros
Heaps,a transfer from Brigham Young University, will not be eligible to play for the Jayhawks this season. He will be eligible in the spring game and should be the starting quarterback for Kansas, opposite Crist.
pect coming out of high school, and came to Kansas with a load of hype behind him. Kansas fans will get a glimpse of the future on Saturday, as they'll have their first
opportunity to see Heaps take the field.

TENNIS
Chilean freshman adjusts, leads singles players
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
KANGA
Freshman Maria Belen Ludeja returns the ball in her singles match against Oklahoma State Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. Khanevskaya was defeated 6-4.
CORBIN MIHELIC
cmihelic@kansan.com
But she didn't let those challenges hinder her performance. By the beginning of March, Luduena had yet to lose a singles match while playing for the Jayhawks, and her 7-0 record propelled her to a No.
Two months ago, freshman Maria Belen Ludueña was generally hesitant to take part in interviews, even as her success on the Kansas women's tennis team continued to flourish.
Even the surface of a tennis court was different. In Chile, she played all of her matches on clay courts, which demand a different style of play from the hardcourt surface of Division I tennis.
Looking back, however, her discomfort at the time was completely understandable.
Why? She felt her English wasn't up to par.
"When I came here, I thought the first three months would be so difficult," Ludueña said of the playing surface adjustment. "It's more fast so I need to play differently, but it's good and I prefer it."
In January, Ludueña (who goes by Belen) moved to Lawrence from Curico, Chile, more than 5,000 miles away. So many things were new: the English language, American culture and above all, college life.
118 ranking in the ITA Division I singles standings.
Success in competitive tennis wasn't new for Ludueña, though, as she was already one of Chile's best junior players years before coming to the United States. At 16, she made her country's U16 National Team, and traveled to compete in both the South American Cup and World Cup for her age division.
Ludueha began the season at No. 4 singles for Kansas, but her immediate success bumped her up to the No.3 spot by the sixth match, a position she would hold for the rest of the year.
"It's very encouraging and very exciting to see that somebody, after only having been here for two-and-a-half months, is already ranked," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "That's pretty exciting."
She even moved schools and cities in order to pursue her athletic career. Curico, a city slightly larger than Lawrence, lacked the adequate competition and coaching that her tennis dreams demanded, so Ludueña transferred to a private academy in Chile's capital, Santiago.
"In my city, you can't practice like a professional," Ludueha said. "I went to Santiago to practice in this academy, and it was a very good choice because after that I played in very good tournaments."
The Kansas coaching staff got in contact with Ludueña through the
coach of her U16 National Team, who directly knows Kansas' assistant coach German Dalmagro, anArgentina native. When she arrived, she was warmly welcomed by a team that had lost its No. 1 player, senior veteran Ekaterina Morozova, for undisclosed reasons before the season even started.
"She's adapted and adapted very well," Hall-Holt said. "The team is helping her become better and she's helping the team become better."
Although the rest of season may not have gone as planned for the Jayhawks, Ludueña's 14-7 singles record in 2012 is the best on her team. A notable statistic, Ludueña was 5-0 this season in matches where she split the first two sets with her opponent.
But Ludueña has appreciated her time at Kansas for much more than her athletic career, even though tennis is essentially what gave her the opportunity to come to the United States. She has built lasting relationships with her teammates and coaches. "I feel so comfortable here because my teammates are so, so nice," Ludueña said. "I can speak with anyone about personal problems, German or with coach, I feel like I have a little family here."

With summer around the corner, many students will spend their break away from books working internships, both paid and unpaid.
Regardless of major, students can apply their academic knowledge in a workplace environment while gaining valuable experience for their future career.
"Internships are being sought by more and more KU students because they realize how important internships are in their future job search," said Erin Wolfram, assistant director of career networks at the University
Career Center. "Employers are really seeking candidates that have hands on related experience."
Wolfram said internships relating to engineering, business, journalism, strategic communications and nonprofit organizations were most prevalent. While internships relating to more technical fields such as business and engineering are usually paid — from $10 an hour to over $20 an hour — those in journalism, marketing, and nonprofit organizations are often not, she said.
In fact, a journalistic organization now faces a lawsuit because of unpaid internships. Hearst Corporation, publisher of Harper's Bazaar fashion
magazine, faces a lawsuit from former intern Xuedan Wang, a recent graduate from Ohio State University, according to Reuters.
Wang worked at the magazine from August through December of last year, and her case claims her internship violated labor laws.
"If the interns weren't doing the work then they would have to hire someone else to do it," said Elizabeth Wagoner, lawyer of Wang.
The Hearst Corporation claims no violation occurred under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which allows academic credit to be considered proper compensation.
Overall, Wolfram thought half of
University students' internships were paid, which has remained consistent over the years.
While making money as a student is preferred, Wolfram still encouraged students to pursue unpaid internships.
"A lot of unpaid opportunities provide a lot of valuable experience," Wolffrom said. "It's the experience that really makes the difference on a resume."
AstudyconductedbytheCollegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University found that more than one third of companies were expanding their internship programs. Sixty-six percent of
companies offered paid internships, 18 percent offered unpaid, and the remaining 16 percent offered both types. The study found that recruitment had increased in the past year and a half, but found monitoring the growth of unpaid internships difficult.
The number of students involved in internships is also difficult to monitor, Wolfram said, because of the different ways students find them. Some find internships through professors, family members, or career services.
But regardless of where they find them, students are able to gain class credit for their experience.
"An internship allows students to fulfill a graduation requirement or elective while reflecting on their experience," Wolfram said.
As for when to look for them, Jolene Phillips, Assistant Director of Business Career Services in the School of Business, suggests looking early.
"The main recruiting time is in the fall for internships starting the following summer." Phillips said.
While most students opt for summer internships only, some work them part, time during the year.

Student Debt
Andrew Porter discusses the student debt problem in America at the Young Democratic Socialists meeting at the Kansas Union Wednesday night.
Student debt may not be impossible to decrease
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
April 25 marked the day where economists predicted student debt would hit $1 trillion, according to Andrew Porter, national organizer of the Young Democratic Socialists group.
Porter said Wednesday night in a speech at the Kansas Union that student debt surpassed credit card debt as the largest debt in the United States. Porter and the Young Democratic Socialists believe the rise in debt has caused access to higher education to be a privilege rather than a right. The event drew a little more than 20 people, but Porter feels his presentation had an impact. Porter believes free higher education is possible it is just whether the government chooses to pay for it.
"The most immediate thing we can do is to work on the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012," Porter said. "On top of that, we need to be pressing state and national representatives to invest in higher education, so to actually get them to put the funding back into higher education."
The Student Loan Forgiveness Act would allow forgiveness to borrowers by paying 10 percent of their discretionary income for 10 years as long as income is above the poverty line.
Porter said it would cost the government about $15 billion to pay for everyone's tuition in college right now, and it would cost $80 billion if everyone who was eligible
for college attended.
Porter said free higher education is possible through a two percent military budget cut. However, in order for this to be possible, Porter believes more students need to be aware of how high student debt is because they are the ones that can make free higher education possible.
"Students need to be out on the street. We need to show that students care about this issue," Porter said. "We need to build movements to get to the point where there are enough people on the streets to see this is a real problem. In the same way Occupy allowed us to shift the conversation away from budget deficits toward income inequality, student movement will allow us to show that funding is the real problem."
Jackie Sewell, President of KU Young Democrat Socialists and
"It's not going to happen overnight," Sewell said. "It takes a lot of time for a campaign like this to reach a lot of people. It will take a combination of more teach ins, more events like this and reaching people on an individual level, whether in the classroom, through tabling or on campus."
"Even though the turnout wasn't great, funding for higher education is something all students should be active in." Sooner said. "If students can't get politically active in this issue where it affects all of us then, there has to be changes and we need to do a better job of raising awareness."
Matt Soener, a senior from Overland Park, was particularly motivated by Porter's presentation.

Last Friday, University students had the opportunity to audition.
Preston Brown, a sophomore from Wichita, wants to be made into a stand-up comedian.
"Being visually impaired, a lot of funny shit happens, and I don't have a problem talking about it," Brown said. "I just think it would be cool to share those stories. And I love attention."
Brown said he has experimented in acting and comedy for years, but thought being on "MADE" could launch his skills and public profile
The show usually follows high school students, but casting producer Nathan Johnson said that after 11 seasons, a change was needed.
to new heights.
"It's time for 'MADE' to grow up," Johnson said. "We have a really great formula that really changes lives, and we wanted to transpose that to college-age kids."
Johnson has been interviewing students on campuses for months and said he decided to come to the University because it would be a beautiful place to shoot.
"There are a lot of kids who want opportunities that they can't get unless they're in a big city," Johnson said.
During interviews, Johnson looks for energetic and honest people with a great goal. Although many people want to become rappers, actresses or models, having a popular goal doesn't automatically rule a candidate out. Personality

University employee faces rape charges
A University employee charged with rape in Douglas County still works at the University, according to Jill Jess, University spokeswoman.
The 49-year-old Lawrence man was arrested March 24 on suspicion of raping his 20-year-old daughter in his rural home.
Jess wrote in an e-mail that the
University does not have a policy requiring action against personnel if they are charged with a felony, but could take action depending on the circumstances.
"The University takes its responsibities seriously," Jess wrote. "If an employee is charged with a felony offense, the University will take appropriate personnel action if warranted and supported by available facts."

Red Cross worker's body found after ransom was not paid
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pakistani volunteers and hospital staff transport the body of British Red Cross worker Khalil Rasjed Dale at a hospital in Quetta, Pakistan on Sunday. Dale had been held captive in Pakistan since January. His body was found Sunday.
Associated Press
QUETTA, Pakistan — The body of a British Red Cross worker held captive in Pakistan since January was found in an orchard Sunday, his throat slit and a note attached to his body saying he was killed because no ransom was paid, police said.
Khalil Rasjed Dale, 60, was managing a health program in the city of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan when armed men seized him from a street close to his office. The identities of his captors are unknown, but the region is home to separatist and Islamist militants who have kidnapped for ransom before.
"All of us at the ICRC and at the British Red Cross share the grief and outrage of Khalil's family and friends," said Yves Daccord.
Dale's throat had been slit, according to Safdar Hussain, a doctor who examined the body.
The director-general of the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the "barbary act."
Quetta police chief Ahsan Mahbooob said the note attached to it read: "This is the body of Khalil who we have slaughtered for not paying a ransom amount."
Militants and criminal gangs often kidnap wealthy Pakistanis and less commonly, foreigners.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned Dale's killing, and said "tireless efforts" had been under way to secure his release after he was kidnapped.
Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, the group said.
Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, lies close to the Afghan border and for decades has hosted thousands of refugees from that country. The Red Cross operates clinics in the city that treat people wounded in the war in Afghanistan, including Taliban insurgents.

Children's book illustrations of bombs and knives upset parents
LUCKNOW, India Angry parents are demanding to know why their kids are being taught about bombs and knives at nursery schools in a northern Indian state.
They complain that a book on Hindi language alphabets for children aged 4 to 5 says that "B" stands for bomb and "Ch" for "Chaku," or knife. Pictures accompany the words.
Ram Authar Dixit, president of the Parents-Student Welfare Association of Gurukul Academy in Uttar Pradesh state, said Sunday that the national
education board was investigating how such a book was cleared for private nursery schools.
More than 100 schools in the state have been using the book.
"It is the responsibility of the education board to provide clean books to the students," said Dixit, a parent.
The publisher could not be immediately reached for comment.
The Federal Board of Secondary Education issues broad guidelines to state and private schools relating to books, but leaves the content to publishers. It steps in in case of complaints, Alam said.
"Children have an impressionable mind. If students are taught about bombs and knives at this stage this would develop a negative mindset for them,' Ananya Tiwari, a child psychologist, told The Associated Press in Lucknow, the state capital.

Sixteen worshippers gunned down at university in Nigeria
KANO, Nigeria — Gunmen attacked church services on a university campus Sunday in northern Nigeria, using small explosives to draw out and gun down panicking worshippers in an assault that killed at least 16 people, officials said.
The attackers targeted an old section of Bayero University's campus where religious groups use a theater and other areas to hold worship services, Kano state police spokesman Ibrahim Idris said. The assault left many others seriously wounded, Idris said.
"By the time we responded, they entered (their) motorcycles and
disappeared into the neighborhood." the commissioner said.
After the attack, police and soldiers cordoned off the campus as gunfire echoed in the surrounding streets. Abubakar Jibril, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency, said security forces refused to allow rescuers to enter the campus. Soldiers also turned away journalists from the university.
Andronicus Adeyemo, an official with the Nigerian Red Cross, said a canvas of local hospitals and morgues showed the attack killed at least 16 people. A number of people suffered injuries, though the aid agency did
not immediately have an exact figure. Adeveno said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility. However, Idris said the attackers used small explosives packed inside of aluminum soda cans for the assault, a method previously used by a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram.
Diplomats and military officials say Boko Haram has links with two other al-Qaida-aligned terrorist groups in Africa. Members of the sect also reportedly have been spotted in northern Mali which Tuareg rebels and hardline Islamists seized control of over the past month.
Anti-Kremlin activist beaten after trying to enter cathedral

MOSCOW — An opposition activist was detained and beaten Sunday after he tried to enter Moscow's landmark Christ the Savior Cathedral to pray to deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Several riot police officers forced Roman Dobrokhotov into a police car just meters (feet) from Russia's largest church, widely seen as a symbol of resurgent Orthodox Christianity after seven decades of atheist Communist rule. Dobrokhotov, who leads a small anti-Kremlian youth movement, heckled President Dmitry Medvedev during his speech in the Kremlian in 2008.
Members of an Orthodox militant group stand in front of Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral to prevent access of opposition activists, Sunday. The activists planned to pray to Holy Mother to deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin.
Another activist, Mariya Baronova, of the Resistance anti-Kremlin group, entered the cathedral, but was cornered by a group of Orthodox priests and men who tried to escort her out.

A dozen activists from the militant Union of Orthodox Banner Bearers group lined up in front of the cathedral, shouting obscenities at Dobrokhotov and Baronova. The group is known for dispersing gay rallies, and for protesting against pop star Madonna's shows in
Hours later, when Dobrokhotov was leaving a police station where he was held, seven men assaulted him, damaging his ear, he said.
"They looked like soccer fans," he
said, referring to burly and aggressive young men who are often involved in street fights and violence after soccer matches across Russia. "Luckily, police interrupted them and detained one of them."

Viewing experience enhanced by tablet
TECHNOLOGY
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES - When viewers watch a TV program with a tablet device, they tend to check their email, hunt for sports scores or seek additional information about the show or a commercial they were watching on the big screen.
A new report by Nielsen Co., released Friday, underscores what network television researchers have been preaching for more than a year: that "second screen viewing" appears to augment the TV viewing experience rather than steal away viewers.
commercial (24 percent versus 21 percent).
The report also found cultural differences in TV watching and the use of digital video recorders. Nielsen said that white TV viewers use digital video recorders on a daily basis twice as much as any other group, while Asian Americans appear to spend a higher proportion of their overall TV time watching their previously recorded programs.
Not surprisingly, teenagers with tablets were far more apt to visit a social media site while watching TV than were older baby boomers and seniors (62 percent versus 33 percent).
Nielsen's State of the Media: Advertising & Audiences report found that men, when watching TV and using a tablet simultaneously, were more likely than women to look for information related to a TV program they were watching (39 percent versus 34 percent). Women were more inclined to seek information related to a television
CRYPTOQUIP
Adults age 25 to 54 appear to be heavily influenced by advertising. Nielsen said that demographic group was 23 percent more likely than the average U.S. Internet user to follow a brand through social networking sites.
After all, the director of the 23rd film in the franchise, which spans half a century, is Sam Mendes, whose cinematic studies of personalities in emotional turmoil and even meltdown include "American Beauty" and "Revolutionary Road."
"You always go back to the Fleming because the character Fleming created over a number of novels was incredibly complex." Mendes said Sunday at a news conference in Istanbul, where the crew of "Skyfall" has filmed.
ISTANBUL — The next James Bond movie, "Skyfall," promises the usual action, exotic locations, scheming villains and beautiful women. For fans of the original novels by Ian Fleming, there's more: a journey into the troubled psyche of the iconic spy.
"Some people sometimes forget in the cliche of Bond, which is the international playboy, and someone who always untrubbed, and almost never breaks a sweat, that actually what (Fleming) created was a very conflicted character," said Mendes, who was joined by cast members, including Bond actor Daniel Craig.
FILM
Fleming created a secret agent who was sometimes frustrated and ambivalent about his job. Many Bond movies sidestepped the inner demons, showcasing instead a debonair 007 whose exploits were enhanced with gaudy gadgets and special effects.

TRAGEDY PREVENTION
Visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Wash.
Visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. is like walking through a shrine. After receiving a booklet containing the life story of a victim of that horrific event and absorbing the place for three hours, walking back out into the bustling, bright world feels overwhelming—a feeling dwarfed by the enormity of the task of stopping similarly terrible events. After two such experiences, I've yet to reconcile the horrors of our world and my own responsibility to solve them.
Last Monday, in that halowed space, President Obama announced the first meeting of the Atrocities Prevention Board, an interagency group working to institutionalize the United States response to genocides and mass atrocities worldwide. This announcement couldn't come at a better time—human rights
abuses are gaining more prominence in the media and threaten international security. From refugee camps in Sudan to gulags in North Korea, with killing fields in Syria and violence in the DRC and Uganda, diverse and committed groups seem prepared to continue carrying out unspeakable harm against innocent civilians.
Sixty-six years after the Nuremberg Trials and 10 years after the creation of the International Criminal Court, it's doubtful that any credible source believes the creation of another government council will dissuade regimes from harming their own citizens. After all, the Responsibility to Protect doctrine established by the United Nations in 2005 justified intervention in Libya, but it isn't applied in many other countries where such intervention would be politically costly or unlikely to succeed.
By Amanda Gress
agress@kansan.com
This doesn't mean that the Atrocities Prevention Board (APB) should be eliminated or derided. The president and Congress face an enormous number of national security and domestic concerns, and the nature of large-scale human rights abuses make synthesizing information and crafting policy difficult. As per the recommendations of the 2008 Genocide Prevention Task force, an interagency and codified process can ensure that these pressing issues receive attention.
The new council faces valid criticisms, notably from Stephen Walt of Harvard. He argues that the APB may encourage future interventions, while failing to address the structural reasons why these situations are difficult to resolve and glossing over abuses perpetuated by the U.S. itself. President Obama acknowledged that making atrocity prevention a permanent priority "does not mean that we intervene militarily every time there's an injustice in the world." Doing so would be impractical and irresponsible. However, by bringing together different branches of the government, decision-makers can craft better-informed choices about the feasibility of a wide range of options. In some cases the U.S. may not intervene; in others, actions taken may fail to bring about their desired goal. This does not mean we should cede the possibility of acting and turn
inward, nor should we wait to first purge every injustice from our foreign policy.
As the presidential election cycle picks up, debates will likely focus on fixing the economy and countering potential rogue nations and terrorists. Human rights policy should not slide to the backburner, nor should three years of contributions the United States has made in Côte D'Ivoire, Libya, Uganda, Sudan, and elsewhere be disregarded. The Atrocities Prevention Board is a good first step towards fulfilling the challenge the memory of the Holocaust and other genocides pose; now the focus should turn towards what policies the Board can enact to make the promise "never again" a credible commitment.

O f Baby Penguins, Freshman year, and the Importance of Mentors
I've surmised that most freshmen tend to fall into two camps: either they come in with absolutely no idea of what they want to do, like baby penguins flung out into the depths of Antarctica, or they come in fully prepared, ready with a plan of action of exactly what they're going to major in, be involved with, and do with their life. Then have the world say to the latter, "Aw, that's adorable, but you're a baby penguin, hush," before being flung out anyway.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
I definitely fall into the latter camp.
I came to college thinking I had my four years planned out. Double major in English and Journalism, be involved in theater, and volunteer casually— this was a list to be checked off, not altered. I was nervous as hell for college, but I hid under a veil of self-confidence and assurance. If I had a plan, and kept to it, everything would work out, right?
Almost the moment I got to campus, I was thrust into Antarctica, all thanks to the mentors in my life.
As my first year at the University is coming to a close, I can't help, underneath the battering ram of work I have to do these last few weeks before finals, but muse about the past nine months. It was during one of these ponderings, my Geology notes judging me as I listened to Vitamin C's "Graduation" on repeat and a bowl of ice cream in hand, that the thought of all relationships I've made this year struck
me. I've met some incredible people during my first year at the University, amazing people, so amazing that I can't be sarcastic or veil my compliments in wordplay. People, that have become my friends and often, my mentors.
It's the mentors that I've found this past year that have changed my path at the University, and my life.
I came to campus unaware I was a baby penguin, and ready to blindly surge forward with 'my plan.' But it was a friend, who I now see as a mentor as well, who encouraged me to get involved with Student Senate, a student activity that definitely was not on "Katherine's College Checklist." I thought it was a horrible idea, but she convinced me to check it out, so reluctantly I did, and found myself running for a senate position, not once, but three times until I earned one.
This was my first shove out of the nest (penguins don't construct elevated nests, so the imagery might not be as dramatic, but ignore that for metaphor consistency). I was forced out of my comfort zone, my assumptions, and above all, my checklist mentality, all thanks to the mentors in my life who pushed me to challenge myself and explore my options. I started to discover what the
University had to offer: classes, organizations, and great people. As I branched out I encountered people who I could learn with, laugh with, and not feel incredibly dumb for incessantly barraging questions at.
I've found mentors everywhere, from my professors to the women I live with. My mentors have encouraged and educated me in my writing, in my academic pursuits, in my growing passion for activism and advocacy, and in my level of student involvement, but they've also been there when my days at the University haven't looked so bright. They've been there to pick me up (sometimes literally) when I was down, to talk me through fluttery panic attacks, and gave me coffee when I've felt like my brain was about to fall out of my head.
The mentors in my life have made an astounding difference in my life. That's the point of having mentors. Mentors not only encourage you and direct you to new opportunities, but they genuinely care about you. Good mentors help their mentees navigate through unfamiliar territory, show them paths they weren't aware existed, and when needed, are there to help them when they fumble on those paths. I've been lucky to find a plethora of friends I consider mentors who do just this.
Maybe I'm still a baby penguin, but because of my mentors, I think I've managed to avoid hitting many icebergs.

PERSONAL GROWTH
Be a person, not just a student
It sounds really simple and maybe a little too obvious to miss, but when I came to school here, I forgot that I was learning how to live, not just how to do research and write papers.
A friend of mine who has a couple years left as an under-grad called me a couple weeks ago asking for advice. She wanted to make the rest of her time in college worthwhile, and she asked if there was anything I would have done differently during my four years if I could go back.
I'm prone to overanalyzing; so for days and days after she asked, my mind has wrestled with this question. I was a traditional student, going straight to college after high school and spending four formative years at KU, and I will go straight to graduate school after I graduate this spring. I've done things by-the-book in a lot of ways, and instead of thinking about how I'd feel at the end, I just kept plowing ahead, following my to-do list.
My first instinct was to assess all the memorable details of my experiences, especially those related to academics and student involvement. I could have done a better job evaluating my roles in student organizations each
year, identifying time wasters, recognizing difficulties before they became problematic, staying focused and organized, not spreading myself too thin... There are easily 100 general and specific complaints I could make against myself for how I handled my undergraduate career.
"Sometimes the subtle experiences contribute more to personal growth."
By Kelly Cosby

How productive would it be to analyze these minor points? I started to realize they wouldn't make a difference in the larger scheme of things, and for that matter, that way of thinking might be a symptom of a more pressing problem.
By focusing on the minor things I could have done differently but probably would not have mattered much, I would do myself a disservice by giving into self derision with no productive outcome. So many
It's really easy for college students to get bogged down in the details. It's even easier to neglect important parts of yourself, especially if you're an uptight "type A" personality like I am.
of my friends have done this on a routine basis, and it just isn't healthy. We aren't doing ourselves any favors by beating oursels up over inconsequential moments in the past.
The reality is that when someone asks me about my
But self reflection can be beneficial when it comes to the important things. On that note, now that I've started to recognize that I tend to agonize over small mistakes or details from the past, I can use that assessment to stop that habit.
This reflection has also reminded me that those small things I couldn't change from the past don't comprise my whole experience as a student at KU. The academic experience I had was wonderful, as were the various opportunities for student involvement. But I realize that I, like some students do, have made those elements central to my whole being as an undergraduate student.
four years in college, there is more for me to think about than some projects or events I worked on. Sometimes the more subtle
experiences contribute more to personal growth. Maybe I didn't realize that going out to eat on Mass Street with my friends or having a good conversation with a professor was having an invaluable impact on me at the time, but those experiences weaved together have meant just as much in the bigger picture as my class assignments.
My point is not that we should undervalue our scholarly experience or negate the positive effects of the parts of our lives that we "plan out" on campus. I just want to remind the students out there (who might need reminding as I did) that our experience here is about more than that; one's development as a person is more than one's development as a student.

INTERNSHIPS FROM PAGE 1A
Mock interviews, resume workshops, and research of companies are great ways to work towards finding them, she said.
"The demand for internships this year has been good." Phillips said.
Bryce Allenbrand, a junior from Olathe, has been interning at Kiewit Power Engineersince the summer of 2008.
"The internship has allowed me to apply the concepts I've learned in the classroom," Allenbrand said. "I can see how it's applied in the real world rather than just to a simplified book problem."
While his pay is lower than the other engineers who have graduated — $18 an hours versus $30 an hour — Allenbrand feels like he gets paid properly for the work he does.
He said the most valuable part of the internship was finding out if he was truly passionate about engineering . Luckily for Allenbrand he enjoys his work and hopes to work for the company full-time after he graduates.
"It's win-win because we get real world experience and they get to see possible future employees," he said. "The engineers are still doing a lot of the work, but interns help take some of the load off their hands."
While Allenbrand thinks all internships should be paid, he does not think they should all be paid the same.
"Internship salary should be proportional to the pay of that industry," Allenbrand said.
also plays a part in the decision.
Tyler Waugh, a graduate from Topeka, heard about the casting call through Facebook and thought auditioning for the show could help him become rapper. Waugh currently performs under the name New Suede.
"Look at an internship more for the experience versus the money you'll make," Allenbrand said. "Think more of your long term goals versus immediate rewards."

Waugh said he was nervous, but relaxed once he started to tell his story.
"I feel like I've always been an entertainer," Waugh said. "The way I rap is sort of comedy, but not really. I can say things that normally I wouldn't say, but in a rhyme they're easier to say."
Johnson said he is still accepting online applications to be on the show and personally reviews every application submitted through the website.

Brown Bag Drag attracts attention
ENTERTAINMENT
ELISE REUTER
ereuter@kansan.com
Deja Brooks strutted across the Alderson Auditorium stage, wearing skyscraper heels and a violet peplum coat. When the music started, Brooks threw his coat across the stage, singing and dancing in a matching one-piece.
This was Brooks' third year participating in Queens and Allies's annual Brown Bag Drag. Brooks has been performing in drag shows since 2004, and hopes to win the national title of Miss Gay America.
"I look at this as entertainment: being on stage for theatrical purposes or pageantry purposes," Brooks said.
Backstage, Brooks and the other drag queens prepared for their performances. The getting-ready process takes about two hours, during which costumes are fitted, and copious amounts of makeup are applied. All of the costumes are elaborate, though some are flashier than others. Brooks' costume is custom-made, but several of the other queens wear costumes designed by students.
The entire show lasted about an hour and a half and consisted of several music and dance pieces.
"You kind of have to pick the genre that best suits you — what kind of music is going to best entertain the audience — just getting in that mindset," Brooks said.
A group of women dressed as men also performed a hiphop routine and rapped. The show's grand finale featured the host, Daisy Buckets, and a few other acts singing in nun costumes.
Buckets, also known offstage as Spencer Brown, is a professional drag queen who
has hosted the show for six years. The show is put on by Queers and Allies each year, and this year Student Union Activities' Comedy and Music Committee also helped with the event.
"We want to bring awareness to the LGBT community, and we thought that this was a fun way to get a diverse group involved," Comedy and Music Coordinator Amanda Kravitz said.

The show was one of the final events of Gaypril, a series of events KU Q&A sponsors to celebrate LGBT pride.
Protesters from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka showed up to picket outside the Union Friday. Many of the protesters were children or teenagers holding signs with messages like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," "Keep God's Law," "Fags Doom Nations" and "Antichrist Obama." They also sang parodies of popular songs including Nicki Minaj's "Check it Out" and Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie." Two police officers stood next to the protesters, who were lined up in front of the parking lot adjacent to Smith Hall and across from the Union.
A large group of students congregated at the Union to watch the action. Some took photos with the protesters while others, such as Tim Barta, a senior from Lawrence, held up counter protest signs reading "Love not hate," "We support LGBT" and "Honk for Equal Rights."
Westboro picketers left campus a little before noon and the beginning of the show, which was held in Woodruff Auditorium.

World Expo encourages cultural education
XIN LI
editor@kansan.com
At this year's World Expo, visitors were attracted by a raindroplike sound coming from the entrance of the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union. People later discovered the sound came from an amadinda, a traditional wooden, xylophone-like musical instrument from Uganda.
Milton Wabyona, a graduate student of music composition from Hoima, Uganda, and Tim Clark, a junior of physics from Lawrence, were playing the amadinda for visitors at the presentation table of Uganda. People are invited to play the instrument as well.
Wabyona said he came to the Expo because he wanted to present music from his country and be with his friends from home. He said it was also interesting to see the other presentations.
"It's very interesting to see people from different countries and to see what they have to show," Wabyona said. "It's very different from what you know from your
own country."
Students from about 50 countries,including Vietnam,Malaysia,Bolivia,Sweden,Chile and Russia demonstrated their cultures at the 60th annual World Expo,hosted by the International Students Association. Visitors learned about different cultures through presentation boards pasted with pictures of scenery,traditional costumes and food from different countries. Table exhibitions showed examples of handicraft works,jewelry and musical instruments.
Students who represented their countries at the Expo drew visitors' attention in a creative manner. Japanese students invited visitors to fold colorful origami cranes; Chinese students taught people to play Chinese chess; a student from Singapore compared her country's geography and population with Kansas'; and students from Saudi Arabia brought their living room at home to the Expo. They showed the Arab people's hospitality by inviting visitors to sit on the Arab style carpet to have homemade qahwah and mamoul, the Arab coffee and cookie
Raed Alzarah, a sophomore from Saudi Arabia who was hosting guests on the carpet, said they had more than 150 guests.
"We wanted to show our culture," Alzarah said. "This is what we did about 50 years ago, but it's still our culture."
This year's Expo had large-scale performances, which made it different from past years' celebrations. Two students represented Vietnam entertained the crowd with a lion dance, and Wabyona and Clark later played the amadinda on the stage as well.
Amanda Murphy, president of the International Students Association, said the organization wanted the World Expo to celebrate different cultures at the University and to provide a chance for people to experience more than 50 countries at one time.
"It's a way to facilitate cultural education," Murphy said. "It allows people studying here that are from other countries to have pride for their heritage and show off their culture."

Lied Center to host party to promote venue's programming
Broadway hits and international musicians will grace the stage at the Lied Center next year.
The 2012-2013 show schedule was announced Friday night and includes Broadway musicals like Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and "Westside Story" as well as performances showcasing Indian dance, Scottish pipes and drums and even a Swiss Pantomime troupe.
The Lied Center Student Association (LCSA) is trying to make students more aware of the venue's programming by
hosting a party tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Lied Center Pavilion. The evening will include free food, prize give-aways and musical performances by LCSA members.
LCSA public relations officer Hillary Berry, a junior from Topeka, said that students often don't take advantage of the center.
"I think a lot of students don't know about the Lied Center, and they don't think about it as a venue." Berry said. "We have a lot of really cool stuff that comes in and it's a really fun way to learn about different cultures."

CRIME
University student charged on suspicion of domestic violence
The student was arrested April 21 on suspicion of aggravated battery, criminal restraint, criminal damage to property less than $1,000 and domestic battery.
The Douglas County District Attorney charged a 38-year-old male University student with domestic violence last week, according to court documents.
He was released on $500 bond last Monday after being charged with domestic violence, a class B misdemeanor. He is suspected of knowingly causing physical contact with a household or family member, according to documents produced by the district attorney's office.
The man is scheduled to appear in district court for a hearing May 21.

Stanley Rolfe selected as interim dean for the School of Engineering
The University announced Friday its selection for interim dean for the School of Engineering as Stanley Rolfe, professor of civil engineering. Rolfe is replacing dean Stuart Bell, who recently accepted the position of executive vice chancellor and provost at Louisiana State University.
Roffe brings his 23 years as department chair for the department of civil engineering from 1975 to 1998. Roffe is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the highest professional achievement for an engineer, according to the press release.
"After consulting with engineering faculty, staff and students, Dr. Rolfe's name was consistently mentioned as the ideal individual to lead the school during this transition," said Jeffrey Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor at the University, in a press release.
"I look forward to continuing our progress in implementing the Building for Excellence initiative as the search proceeds for our next dean." Rolfe said in the press release. Rolfe will be involved in the process of selecting the permanent dean.

COMMENTARY
He hoped he could be a student with his team in the Final Four, because that's when school pride would reach its highest.
He will walk down the hill in 13 days. He wishes it was 13 years.
The end of a wild journey
He looked up at Allen Fieldhouse, then over to Fraser Hall. Two weeks left. A long walk down a hill. And then it's over.
He swears there was something in his eye.
As he sat on the Fieldhouse grass, he realized something. His column was nearly finished, his college journey two weeks from completed.

He was born in Missouri, but taken across the border a few hours after. He never returned willingly, except to scarf down a beef sandwich from Arthur Bryant's or watch a Royal's game. As a high school senior, he hemmed and hawed about attending other schools, but he never wavered.

And after Kansas beat Ohio State, he high-fived strangers and watched Kansas fans test the hydraulics of a parked truck while B Double E, a local rap artist, rapped in his ear.
Three years came and went. Kansas had some pretty damn good basketball teams. Those teams were expected to make the Final Four. They didn't. The team in his senior year wasn't expected to do much — not enough talent, not enough experience.
He knew about the basketball. Everybody knows about the basketball, but that's because it's worth knowing about. Hakim Warrick made him cry in 2003; Mario Chalmers made him doggie with his friends in 2008.
It was a week that made him remember how much fun he's had in the last four years. He's met people he'll never forget, people he'll never remember and people he'll never remember meeting. And he's learned from all of them.
A few days ago, a senior sat on the grass outside Allen Fieldhouse and tried to figure out what to say in his final column for the Kansan.
His Final Four dreams were just about dead. But then this team did something wonderful.
He watched KU survive against Purdue in the basement of a London hotel. He watched KU beat North Carolina on an iPad next to a baggage carousel at KCI. He couldn't drive to Lawrence fast enough.
During Final Four week, he walked by the greener-than-usual grass of Fraser Hall more than he needed to. He sat in his FMS 100 class, feeling so jealous of those that have three or four more years in this wonderful place.
He ate a Wang burger at the Wheel. He ate — er, swallowed — a Smoke burger and truffle fries from The Burger Stand. He ran by Allen Fieldhouse, because there aren't many times in life that you can run past the world's basketball cathedral.
He drank cheap beer and hatched plans that only make sense after drinking cheap beer. He smiled with hundreds of people wearing crimson and blue all week long, ready to scream at televisions and Tyshawn Taylor.

MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Quarterback Dayne Crist stepped up to the line of scrimmage and decided to alter the play call. The audible was a simple one: Sophomore running back Tony Pierson would run to the right instead of the left.
When Pierson was handed the ball, he saw a crease and took off. The second he saw the hole, he knew he was gone. 88 yards later, Pierson was in the end zone.
The game started with Dayne Crist showing the 15,000 fans in attendance why there's been so much hype surrounding him. Crist threw four consecutive passes of 10 or more yards in the game's first drive.
The speedy running back flew past the entire white team's defense to put the blue team ahead 31-0 in a game they would later win 45-0. The blue team featured a majority of the likely starters for Kansas football, and they controlled the game from start to finish.
"When I hit the hole, once I saw the green, I ran toward the goal post," Pierson said. "That's all."
He went on to throw multiple
The audible Crist called on Pierson's run wasn't a one-time thing either. Pierson said Crist makes adjustments on two of every five plays, something that the team and coach Weis trust him in doing.
"Dayne had a great day," sophomore linebacker Michael Reynolds said. "He's our captain and he knows what to do. He knows our offense. He knows how to be a general on the field."
long passes down the field, a risk that Kansas didn't take too frequently last year. Crist's longest completion on the day was a 27-yard strike to senior wide receiver Davonn Patterson.
While most eyes in Memorial Stadium focused on Crist, blue team backup quarterback and junior Jake Heaps' first throw in a Kansas uniform brought the crowd to its feet.
Heaps handed the ball off to Pierson while senior receiver Kale Pitch streaked down the field. Pierson pitched the ball back to Heaps — making the flea flicker play apparent — and Heaps threw a 46-yard strike to Pick down field. Heaps would throw a six-yard touchdown pass on the next play.
"I could've created some situations to have the game closer," Weis said. "I didn't have to call reverses and I didn't have to call flea flickers, but the fans want to have some fun, too."
"I think we've taken a bunch of steps, but we have a bunch of steps to go." Weis said. "Too many times coaches go ahead and give you some phrase 'here's exactly where we are,' trying to tell you some sugar-coated thing, but for us to be competitive on a weekly basis, we have a lot of work to do."
Weis' debut as the Jayhawks' head coach was a fairly smooth one. The team escaped the day without any injuries and the first string players showed why they've earned their spot, but the team as a whole has a ways to go.

Recurring ACL injuries plague team
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
KATHLEEN GIER
Coach Bonnie Henrickson has had six lousy days at Kansas. Her teams have struggled to perform consistently in conference play and for seven years had not made it to an NCAA Tournament. This is frustrating, but there has been another painful storyline: ACL injuries.
A starter for the Kansas women's basketball team has torn an ACL in three of four the last seasons.
kgier@kansan.com
"The hardest part for me is to watch those kids go down," Henrickson said. "I have had six lousy days at Kansas, when those six players got hurt."
The Jayhawks alone may seem to struggle with ACL injuries, but the reality is ACL injuries are becoming more prominent, especially in women's sports. Lorin Maletsky, an associate biomechanical engineering professor, said that women are three to seven times more likely to suffer this injury compared with men.
Maletsky works at the Experimental Joint Biomechanics Research Lab in Learned Hall. He created the Dynamic Kansas Knee Simulator and uses it to test the effect of different weight applied to human knees through regular activity.
He said one of the most difficult things about knee research is that the injury is so unpredictable.
"A lot of them you can't really tell because they are doing a stop
like they have done before or doing a turn and all of a sudden the ligament gives out," Maletsky said.
That is exactly what happened when junior forward Carolyn Davis tore hers on Feb. 12. She received a pass in the lane, jump stopped and collapsed to the ground. Junior guard Angel Goodrich put her hands on her head because she knew what happened.
Goodrich had torn her ACL
twice since coming to Kansas. Her freshman year she tore it in October doing a crossover move in practice and then she tore it again as a sophomore during a game. Of the 10 Jayhawks currently on the team, four of them have suffered this injury in their career.
Davis was on the floor for more than 10 minutes before she was wheeled off on a stretcher. When Henrickson made her way over to
"I know the pain and just hearing her holler it just hurts," Goodrich said.
She did not simply apologize for her season ending, but for the pain and frustration she had seen the team go through two years before.

have seen this injury a number of times, but each occasion has been different and the reaction is always the same.
"When they scream like that, you know what it is," Henrickson said.

Early predictions for the MLB playoffs
THE MORNING BREW
Believe it or not, we're already a month into the 2012 Major League Baseball season.
Because it's only been one month, making predictions on pennant winners and playoff results based on team record and player performances is absurd, although we could ascertain which teams could contend or slide and which players could dominate or struggle as the season progresses. Here are two of my bold predictions:
By C.J. Matson
cmatson@kansan.com
WASHINGTON NATIONALS IN THE PLAYOFFS
Experience isn't on the Washington Nationals' side, but their youth movement this season will be the beginning of grander times for this historically irrelevant franchise.
The biggest reason why the Washington Nationals currently sit in first place in the National League East is because of their remarkable pitching. Amongst all major league teams, the Nationals are first in earned run average, quality starts, strike outs, earned runs allowed and opponents' batting average. Washington is also second in saves.
Yes, highly touted pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg has much to do with the Nationals' pitching success, but not all of it. The rest of the starting pitching staff - Edwin Jackson, Gio Gonzalez, Ross Detwiler and Jordan Zimmerman - is a combined 9-3. Complementing the stellar starting pitching is the outstanding bullpen, which has been led by Tyler Clippard and Henry Rodriguez.
The offense will eventually come around once Ryan Zimmerman returns from the disabled list and Bryce Harper gets more at bats in the majors.
The Nationals will either clinch the
National League East title or earn a wild card berth. They'll most clinch a wild card spot because the National League East is the most challenging division in the league. The Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies were all considered playoff favorites before the start of the season, and they've yet to find their stride.
NO PLAYOFFS FOR LOS ANGELES ANGELS
They're stacked with talent. If your team consists of Jared Weaver, Ervin Santana, C.J. Wilson, Dan Haren, Albert Puiols, Mike Trout, Torii Hunter, Mark Trumbo and Kendry Morales, then your team should qualify for the playoffs, but the Angels won't play in the postseason.
Nobody has been a bigger disappointment this season than Albert Pujols, who signed a lucrative 10-year, $240 million deal with the Angels during the offseason. He, along with C.J. Wilson, who was also signed during the offseason, would help the Angels replace the Texas Rangers as the top team in the American League West.
The Rangers are a powerhouse, and the Angels simply aren't.
KU
Offensively, the Angels rank in the bot
tom half of the majors in runs, batting average, home runs, hits and on-base plus slugging. The Rangers rank astonishingly in the top two in all of those categories.
If the Angels cannot clinch the American League West, then they certainly can clinch one of the two wild card spots. right?
As the season continues, I expect the Angels to improve their pitching and offense, but I also expect the Rangers to keep pitching and batting well the rest of the season, which is a scary thought.
Well, they could, but based on how the season has played out thus far, American League East teams could earn both wild card bids. Every team in the American League East has a winning percentage that's .500 or greater so far, and it's proving to be the toughest division.

Congratulations!
Assistant Professor Albert Romkes
Voted the 2012 Most Outstanding Faculty Member for KU's Mechanical Engineering Department
We, the Students and Alumni of KU's Mechanical Engineering Department, wish to acknowledge Professor Albert Romkes' superior skills as a Researcher and Teacher and congratulate him on winning this most well deserved award. With 18 major publications, $670,000 in sponsored research, multiple invited international lectures and the unanimous support of his School's Promotion and Tenure committee, his Research record is truly remarkable. Our independent research shows that it far exceeds norms across the university in several ways and eclipses a number of faculty
members in his own department who have just recently been granted tenure. We are impressed by his work on new materials for reducing jet fuel consumption. This is currently at the heart of a $387 million dollar effort being patented and proposed by KU to the US Air Force and is being actively pursued by multiple aircraft manufacturers. As the only computational mechanician in the US who has ever analyzed such materials, he is truly an asset to the University, State and Nation. In addition to a stellar research record, Professor Romkes' teaching style and methods are among the best in the university as evidenced by his 5 major teaching awards and extremely high evaluations. Accordingly, we hereby applaud Professor Romkes' outstanding dedication to his Students and the multiple missions of the University of Kansas over the past seven years. We have checked the public vitae of all faculty members who have recently been tenured across the University and found that his record
is superior to at least nine out of ten of them in terms of sheer numbers, accolades from students and colleagues and internationally recognized magnitude and quality of his work.
If
eve

v
Because Professor Romkes has so clearly demonstrated first-order scholarship and a high level of proficiency in research and teaching, we sincerely wish that the Chancellor would reverse her decision not to grant him tenure as it gives the unmistakable appearance that Professor Romkes is being judged by the gender of his partner rather than the content of his character. Just saying that "KU doesn't discriminate" cannot outweigh the facts of this grossly unjust case. We ask the Chancellor and Regents to take note that if this decision is not reversed, She,the Administration as a whole and the individuals populating KU's current Governance
structure will most likely be remembered as one of the most intolerant, capricious and prejudicial in the history of the University of Kansas. Further, it will irreparably damage KU as a whole by painting the university and the School of Engineering in particular as markedly hostile to gay students and faculty. To have not a single openly gay professor in a faculty of more than 100 individuals is the unmistakable fingerprint of institutionalized prejudice itself. This also runs the risk of rippling far into the future, even long after this Chancellor and Provost have moved
long after this Chancellor and Provost have moved on.
If the Chancellor's decision does stick, the Chancellor and Regents should take note that this callous treatment of a stellar researcher and teacher and flippant dismissal of the opinions of the SoE students, faculty and alumni will very adversely affect donations to the Alumni Association as we will encourage multiple generations to withhold their support unless the situation is corrected. We
will not forget it and we will tell everybody what has been done. We ask the Chancellor and Regents to remember from which department multi-million dollar donor and former Chrysler CEO Robert Eaton graduated. Given what we've seen, the Robert Eatons of our generation will most likely keep their checkbooks in their pockets rather than fund the next Eaton Hall. So in short, if this decision stands, it will: 1) cost the University hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct and immediate lost income as Prof. Romkes' considerable contracts will go away,2) jeopardize many tens of millions of dollars in lost
research income by crippling our ability to do critical research supporting the largest and most important manufacturing industry of the state,3) cost jobs for the State and the US by seeding this critical technology and intellectual property elsewhere,4) alienate a generation of students from at least one Department and many from the school and 5)-worst of all-cover the University with the indelible stench of intolerance.
So as this Administration decides whether or not to seriously damage KU, the State and the Nation by supporting an unsupportable miscarriage of due process, we will ask you to join us in wishing Professor Romkes a fond farewell, hearty congratulations and sincere apologies for being so unjustly mistreated on Sunday 6 May, 4:00pm at the picnic area of Potters Lake on the KU Campus.

SOFTBALL
Kansas honors seniors with win over Texas Tech
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
Saturday was a memorable and emotion-filled day for Kansas softball. The team honored its five senior members, and the walk-off 5-4 victory over No. 24 Texas Tech that followed only made the day sweeter.
"Senior Day is a nerve-wracking day, not just for the seniors but for the underclassmen because they want to win it for the seniors. It makes all of this," coach Megan Smith said, looking at the celebration around her, "a lot more fun."
Kansas (31-17, 6-14) trailed 4-1 entering the bottom of the sixth,
recording just four hits in five innings.
Junior outfielder Maggie Hull said that was when the game turned.
"In our team huddle we just said, 'guys we're doing it for the seniors, we're doing it for Kansas, we're doing it for Regionals'." Hull said. "That when we all believed."
Kansas' next three batters reached safely to load the bases with no outs for freshman third baseman Chanin Naudin.
Naudin, who's been one of KU's clutch hitters this season, smacked a 0-2 pitch for a single down the left field line, scoring two runs on what Hull called "the biggest hit of
the game."
In the top of the seventh, sophomore pitcher Kristin Martinez (6-2) continued her strong outing, holding the Red Raiders (38-14, 11-9) in check after entering the game in the third inning. Martinez threw four-and-one-third innings and allowed one earned run on five hits.
Kansas, trailing 4-3, had the top of the order due up with three outs remaining.
And it all came together.
Leadoff hitter sophomore Elsa Moyer hit an infield single and brought the winning run to the plate.
Hull roped a double to center field, knocking in the speedy Moyer and moving the winning run to second. Still no outs.
Texas Tech, with first base open, opted to walk Kansas' freshman first baseman Maddie Stein, presumably to keep force-outs in order, which brought junior shortstop Mariah Montgomery to the plate.
Montgomery, whose second- inning home run gave the Jayhawks an early 1-0 lead, looked at a first-pitch ball before driving a single to the gap in left field. Hull scored from second and Kansas won 5-4.
The team captain's game-winning RBI tied her for fifth all-time in a single season at Kansas with 45. But she didn't do it for the record books.
"It was undoubtedly for the seniors," Montgomery said with tears in her eyes. "Love those guys, been with them for three years and it will be a sad day to see them go. That was definitely for them."
Five seniors - infielders Kelsey Alsdorf and Marissa Ingle, catcher Leah Dalber, outfielder Liz Kocon and pitcher Ashley Spencer – were honored after what would be their final game at Arrocha Ballpark.
Sunday's contest was cancelled due to rain and will not be rescheduled.
Montgomery said the victory meant more than winning a game for the seniors.
postseason, " she said. "That gives us a little better chance of getting there. It might be the biggest win of the year."
The first game of the series was postponed due to rain and lightning in the fifth inning on Friday evening. Kansas trailed 3-1 at that point, and the teams resumed play Saturday at noon. Texas Tech went on to win 4-1.
"That's a huge win to get us to

Kansas takes on Texas A&M in College Station, Texas this weekend for its final three games of the regular season.

No matter the distance, Dixon remains a competitive runner
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Friday was an exceptionally impressive day of races for sophomore Diamond Dixon. She won both the 100-meter and 200-meter event titles at the Bill Williams/Bob Laptad Invitational. This was not the first time she has won multiple titles in one day. But Dixon had something to prove on Friday.
The first thing you should know about Diamond Dixon on the track is that she is a competitive athlete who strives to be the best. Dixon is a very good 400-meter runner; she was the 2011 Big 12 champion and the 2012 NCAA indoor champion. On top of that, Dixon is determined.
this year.
There is one thing, however,
that Dixon claims she is not—an
800-meter runner. She said she sees
herself as more of a 200-meter runner.
Of course she is a 400-meter
runner first and foremost, but is
she a spinner or a distance runner?
Does she run with speed or endurance?
Where does the balance lie for
someone so talented?
"I don't really want to turn into a 400/800 runner, I want to be a 400/200 runner." Dixon said earlier
Coach Stanley Redwine was a two-time U.S. Champion in the 800-meter. He qualified for the Olympic trials in the event five times from 1980 to 1996 before going into coaching. Dixon is thankful for everything her coach teaches her, but she has one disagreement with him.
"He believes I'm an 800 runner" Dixon said. "I beg to differ. I know it helps though, that's why I do it." Teammate Danesha Morris overheard Dixon's statement and said with a laugh, "She's an 800 runner."
Dixon trusts her coach, and that's why she came to Kansas two years ago. She knows that Redwine is sincere and knows what will help her improve on the track, but she prefers to run with speed in shorter distances. Dixon won an 800-meter event title at the Emporia State Relays after Redwine encouraged her to run the event.
On Friday Redwine gave Dixon the opportunity to run short-distance events in Joplin, Mo. She won both the 200-meter and the 100-meter events. Her time of 23.13 seconds in the 200-meter is now the fastest on the team. Even faster than junior Paris Daniels, the National Junior College 200-meter champion
last year at Coffeyville. Dixon ranks tenth in the nation in the 200-meter with that time.
So, Diamond is a spinner, she is also the defending 400-meter Big 12 champion, and she is even a pretty good 800-meter runner whether she admits it or not.
"Diamond is an athlete and she's going to compete in whatever event she's on the track to do." Redwine said. "Any time she steps on the track she's going to give it her all."
No matter how far away the finish line is, Dixon will run as fast as she can to reach it first; that is what you should remember about Diamond Dixon.

Lack of offense plagues team in Big 12 loss
VANSA
CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
Kansas' freshman outfielder Connor McKay, gets tagged out by Oklahoma's sophomore catcher, Dylan Neal, as he slides into home during Kansas' series opener.
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team (17-27, 4-13 Big 12) dropped its second game of the series Saturday night 8-2 to Oklahoma.
In front of a season-best 1,682 people at Hoglund Ballpark, the Jayhawks failed to take advantage of opportunities. Kansas left 10 runners on base in the ball game, including two innings with the bases loaded.
After junior third baseman Jordan Dreiling knocked in the game's first run with a sacrifice fly, the Kansas offense disappeared as Oklahoma pitcher Jonathan Gray pitched a dominant 6.1 innings. Gray's fastball was consistently measured in the mid-90s, and the Kansas hitters could not adjust.
"It's definitely something we haven't really seen much
this year," senior catcher James Stanfield said of Gray's fastball. "But it all comes down to getting ready to hit."
The Sooners jumped ahead of Kansas in the fifth inning when third baseman Max White took an 0-1 pitch from freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin the opposite way for a three-run homer. The home run came with two outs, and Benjamin did not return in the sixth inning.
In a losing effort, freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin put together another quality start. Benjamin went five innings and allowed three runs on five hits, walking three batters. The loss dropped Benjamin to 2-6 on the season, and Stanfield would like to see Benjamin improve in three-ball counts.
"He's pretty mature for a freshman, but there are certain situations when a lefty is up, and White is the next guy after him, it's pretty crucial to get that guy and not get
to him," Stanfield said. "But he did a really good job today for a freshman. He kept us in it."
Despite collecting just four hits in the ball game, the Jayhawks trailed 3-1 heading into the ninth inning with a chance to rally. However, Oklahoma's top-half of the inning ended any chance for a Kansas comeback. The Sooners scored five runs on six hits, which all-but-secured another Big 12 road win.
With Texas Tech defeating Missouri on Saturday night, the Jayhawks and Red Raiders are tied for the final spot in the Big 12 Tournament. Kansas must finish in eighth place or better to qualify for the tournament, which makes Sunday's game against Oklahoma even more important for coach Ritch Price's club.
"Any time we're playing someone in the top 25, we need to pick up a 'w' and stay in contention," Price said. "It will give ourselves an opportunity to get in the thing

Weather woes at Big 12 meet
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
The Kansas women's golf team finished 10th in this weekend's Big 12 Championship at Lawrence Country Club.
Sophomore Thanutra Boon-raksasat and junior Audrey Yowell led the team by finishing tied for 30th. Inclement weather conditions caused delayed tee times and a short delay during third round play Sunday.
"The course held up great, especially today," coach Erin O'Neill said. "I think we got an inch and a half or rain in a short period of time. When we went back out, it was pretty dry. The greens were rolling well. It held up pretty nicely."
Multiple rain delays made it difficult for players to stay focused while
waiting in the clubhouse. To occupy time in the clubhouse during the delay, Coach O'Neil and the players worked on a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
"It kept them occupied," O'Neil said. They were thinking about the puzzle not how long the delay was or what would happen next. It worked out pretty well."
The Jayhawks didn't have time to finish the puzzle before heading back into the breezy conditions. Senior Katy Nugent struggled with the wind early in the tournament; shooting an 88 on day one before finishing the tournament with a 79 and 75 placing her in a tie for 39th with a total score of 242 on the weekend.
"She finished strong today," O'Neil said. "She had a couple of funky shots here and there, but she
still managed to pull a par out a lot of the time, which she's really good at. She did a great job."
Nugent struggled with ball striking early in the tournament. She said in Friday's round she hit a tee shot that started on the left side of the fairway and landed in the second cut of rough on the right side.
Nugent became the senior leader in the spring season; helping a young squad, featuring four freshmen, develop.
"I really struggled with my ball striking," Nugent said. "Anytime the wind is blowing like that you don't know where it's going and it's really tough. It got a lot better in the last two days. The wind made a big difference."
"They've made great strides this year." Nugent said. "I'm confident they're going to come out playing
really well next year. The team has a lot of talent. Everyone has their head in the right place and it's been a fun year."
For Nugent, finishing her career at the Big 12 tournament provided an opportunity to play in front of many friends and family members.
"It was great finishing up at home." Nugent said. "It was cool to have a lot of our support staff and administration out there this week."
Oklahoma won the team tournament with a score of 904. Texas A&M's Mary Michael Maggio won the individual tournament with a score of nine-over par.
Kansas sophomore Meghan Potee finished 42nd with a total of 243, and freshman Gabby DiMarco finished 50th with a 253.

Golfers struggle with challenging course at Big 12 Championship
MEN'S GOLF
The men's golf team ended the season with a tenth place finish in the Big 12 Championship at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Tex. this weekend.
Freshman Dylan McClure led the team tied for 27th with a four-round total of 305. Whispering Pines gave some of the top players in the country a challenge.
"It's just a difficult golf course," coach Kit Grove said. "We aren't the toughest team mentally, and it's one of those deals where it can snowball. It's a very visually intimidating golf course that you have to get off to a good start on every day."
The green speeds were quick over the weekend. Grove said the greens
might have been a bit too difficult over the weekend.
Texas A&M won the team tournament with a four-round score of 1,165. Texas took second with an 1,168, and Texas Tech finished third with a 1,183.
Baylor's Joakim Mikkelson won the individual tournament with a three-under par performance. Tyler Dunlap of Texas A&M finished second at one-under.
For the Jayhawks, junior Chris Gilbert tied for 38th at 22-over par. Senior Doug Quinones finished 44th at 26-over, and junior Alex Gutesha tied for 45th at 30-over par. Freshman David Auer struggled getting off to good starts over the course of the tournament. He finished 50th at 52-over par.

test is to say, 'Oh, you are at risk," Denney said. "We don't have that yet and we don't have a prevention program that is good."
Though Kansas' athletes have recovered and returned to the game. Maletsky said this injury continues to affect quality of life in the future.
"When someone ruptures their ACL, regardless of how soon it is fixed, they dramatically increase their risk of developing arthritis in the knee," Maletsky said.
There is also a high possibility of re-injury even after reconstructive surgery.
Maletsky and his researchers received CDC funding to research and battle the prominence of this injury. They used a cadaver knee in the simulator and mimicked a cutting move with various amounts of pressure to see when the ligament would rupture.
He said that is the most common
way athletes injure it after a jump landing. Kansas athletes have hurt theirs both ways.
One downside to their research is the limitation of subjects to study. The average cadaver knee they received was a male or female in their 60s. That makes it difficult to extrapolate information to a younger study group.
"It is going to be big money for whoever finds the perfect program that prevents these injuries," Denney said.
However, they use their work to interact directly with athletic departments and surgeons to better prevent these injuries.
"You try to protect them, but you can't from that unfortunately," Henrickson said.
But, for now, there is no definite answer.

Season becomes roller coaster ride for team
CURBIN MIHELIC
cmihelic@kansan.com
A roller coaster might be the best analogy to describe the 2012 season for the Kansas women's tennis team. The ride saw its share of historic highs and rock bottom lows.
Before the season's dual play portion started, the team received news that two contributing Jayhawks would not be back in the spring. This was a huge blow to a program.
Sophomore Claire Dreyer celebrates with her teammate junior Victoria Khanevskaya after scoring a point in their doubles competition against Illinois Feb. 12 at the Jayhawk Tennis Center where Kansas won 8-0.
"We lost our No. 1 and No. 2 so everyone had to move up two spots," sophomore Dylan Windom said. "In the Big 12, I feel like an increase in two spots is very hard to overcome."
Freshman Karen Hernandez left the team after one semester, but the loss of senior veteran Ekaterina Morozova was crippling.
record through March 1 was the program's best in two decades. Ludueena, who had been in the United States for less than three months, soared to a No.118 national singles ranking as the Jayhawks shot toward the sky in January and February.
Morozova, who was clearly the team's best player, remained on the roster but was forced to miss the spring for undisclosed reasons. At one point, she was ranked No. 76 nationally in singles (No. 33 in doubles), and she is best known for her magical quarterfinal run with Windom at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's All-American Championships in October.
"Like our strength and condition coach said, 'Adapt and overcome,' Windom said. "Adapt to new things and try to overcome them. Don't make excuses for anything."
Those losses weren't apparent at first, at least in the first seven matches of the season. The addition of freshman newcomer Maria Belen Ludueña aided coach Amy Hall-Holt's starting lineup, and Kansas' 7-0 non-conference dual
KANSAS
However, none of the seven victories came against ranked teams, and none of those teams played in any of the known six BCS automatic-qualifying conferences.
Why is that important? Ten of the Jayhawks' next 13 scheduled matches were against teams ranked in top 75 of the ITA Division I standings.
This new level of difficulty showed immediately, as Kansas dropped the next four matches on the road to ranked opponents—North Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Just like that, the Jayhawks received a reality check and a bruise to the team's ego.

Las Vegas. Still, the team had yet to defeat a ranked opponent, despite playing its way to a solid 9-5 record at the end of spring break.
"It was definitely eye-opening playing against ranked teams, but I think we did really well," sophomore Claire Dreyer said after the team's early-March trip to Tulsa, Okla. "We just kept fighting and it wasn't really a negative weekend for us."
The season's outlook brightened a bit when Kansas won two of three matches in its mid-March trip to
Then Baylor and Texas Tech came to town—teams that would end up finishing No.1 and 2 in the conference's regular season standings. The Jayhawks fell to both, but gave the No.13 Bears a 4-3 scare, and junior No.1 singles player Monica Pezzotti notched her best singles win of the year in the team's 6-1 loss to the 18th-ranked Red Raiders.
"With Baylor we lost 4-3. It's matches where they are some of the best in the conference," Pezzotti said. "We were right there, so we need to build our confidence and believe in ourselves that we can beat those teams."
But this year's shorthanded Jayhawks couldn't get over the hump in the talent-rich Big 12. The conference only had one other unranked team Iowa State. Kansas went on to lose all nine of their regular season conference matches, closing the season with a second loss to Oklahoma, 4-0, in the first round of last week's conference tournament.
In interviews, several Kansas players said that losing had created a mental block by the end of the season, but it's barrier that Hall-Holt and her team repeatedly vowed to overcome in the offseason.
"I don't want to say that I think it got in their heads," Hall-Holt said. "Does it affect you? Yes, Does
it physically drain you? Yes. I just think with our long season, it's draining and it can wear on you a little bit."
For next year, the Jayhawks are thinking on the positive side with the entirety of Hall-Holt's senior-free lineup set to return. Hall-Holt also seems to have found a perfect fit at No.1 doubles—Pezzotti and Windom finished the season
ranked No. 89 nationally, despite playing doubles together for the first time just over a month ago.
Another plus, junior Haley Fournier, a native of Leawood, Kan., will be eligible for next season after transferring from Texas Tech in the fall. As a freshman for the now-21st-ranked Red Raiders, Fournier finished the 2010-11 season 19-11 in singles, 20-6 in
doubles, respectively.
"It's exciting for us that we're a young team because we have so much talent," Dreyer said. "Everyone is just excited to come back next year and keep going at it."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Special Olympian impresses women's team
kgier@kansan.com
KATHLEEN GIER
Brady Tanner won three gold medals in Greece last year at the World Special Olympics Games. He practices four days a week for power lifting competitions. But after his own workouts, he devotes his time to supporting Kansas women's basketball.
Tanner participated in a Special Olympics power lifting competition on Saturday morning at Haskell Indian Nations University and when he found out the Jayhawks would be presenting the medals, he was determined to impress.
When the Jayhawks found out Tanner was going to be at the event, they contacted their coaches and asked if they could assist in some way.
The competition was split up into three different stations: dead lift, squats and bench press. Tanner attracted attention at each station. He dead lifted 450 pounds, squatted 600 and set a personal record on the bench press with 405.
"It is inspiring," Kansas freshman guard Asia Boyd said. "I would never be able to lift that much."
The Jayhawks trickled into the gym during the final round and Tanner made his way over to greet
them. They watched and cheered as he set his new personal record. Tanner let out a triumphant cheer that filled the gym and he was met by a line of fist bumps and high fives from the team.
According to Tanner's mother, Janie, junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior forward Carolyn Davis are two of his favorite Jayhawks. Goodrich appreciates his support and enjoys reciprocating.
"He comes to all of our games with his face painted and we want to do something for him too," Goodrich said.
Tanner, 32, has been competing in power lifting for 11 years for Douglas County Special Olympics. His mother and father, Janie and Gary, serve as his coaches and trainers. Between lifts, Gary would check his belt and rewrap his knees. Janie would take pictures and video of each lift and then take her seat back on the sideline thrilled to see her son succeeding and having fun.
She said the Jayhawks have been very hospitable to Brady and that makes a huge difference. When he returned from Greece, he was honored before a women's game and then joined the team in the locker room after the game.
"He understands when everyone is rooting for him," Janie said. "It is important for him to be recognized by the community."
His high school teacher, Deb Engstrom, continues to purchase season tickets for Tanner and meet him at the games. Janie credited her with starting his love of Kansas women's basketball.
Goodrich said she enjoys spending time with Brady because of his positivity.
"He is always happy," Goodrich said. "He puts smiles on our faces."

FOOTBALL
Spring game shows defensive improvement
KANSAS
3
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
Sophomore running back Tony Pierson sprints down the sideline after breaking a tackle in the third quarter of Saturday afternoon's Spring Game at Memorial Stadium.
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
In one of the Kansas football team's practices last week, sophomore linebacker Michael Reynolds had three different coaches talk to him about running the play full speed.
At the end of practice, coach Charlie Weis called him out for it, trying to explain to him that they are going after him because he is one of the few players on the team who can make that play.
"My whole coaching point to him is that he is one of the guys that can really help us and hopefully today is another step in him turning that corner," Weis said.
Reynolds burst onto the scene at the Jayhawks spring game, making five tackles and recording three sacks on his way to being named defensive MVP. In 2011 he appeared in 10 games as a true freshman, but did not have the same impact.
His performance helped lead the blue squad to a 45-0 victory over the white squad. The shutout victory by no means thrusts the Jayhawk defense into the upper echelon of collegiate defenses, but it is a welcomed sign for a team that allowed the most
points per game in the NCAA Division I last season.
Reynolds, along with fellow linebacker senior Toben Opurum, played a hybrid linebacker/defensive end position normally seen more in a 3-4 defensive scheme than in the Jayhawks' 4-3.
"I'm very comfortable with it because it gives me the chance to stand up and rush the passer and also play in coverage," Reynolds said.
Weis likes playing more versatile players at both positions because it allows him to keep his best players on the field no matter how the opposing offense lines up.
Sophomore running back Marquis Jackson also showed improvement after converting from receiver earlier this spring. He ran strong and hard as he piled up 76 yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries.
"I'm looking at this big, physical kid, saying. 'He looks like a running back, he doesn't look like a wide receiver,' Weis said. "So I sat down and talked to him and said 'You play running back?' and he said 'Yeah, I was a running back', so I said 'Good, you're a running back again.'"
While Weis was impressed with Jackson, he is still trying to figure out
what his role will be in the fall. Because of Jackson's bigger build, he has the ability to play in the traditional halfback position as well as a bulkier fullback.
"He could very easily be at 230 with a couple of cheeseburgers," Weis said. "That's what were going to have to decide, what weight we want him at, but you can see he has some natural running instincts."
The zero on the board beneath the white squad's name is an impressive feat, but it must be noted that the teams were not matched equally. The blue squad clearly had more of the first team guys while the white squad, which struggled to move the ball all day, had more players that are expected to be second and third string on the depth chart this fall.
COMMENTARY
"I think that offensively, we're ahead of our defense," Weis said. "But I truly believe we're going to be much improved on defense. Not only philosophically do I believe in what they're doing, but I do believe that with some of the guys that we have coming in, interjected with the people we have here, I do think that come September, we'll be much improved."
Weis' influence evident by impressive pre-season preview
- Edited by Christine Curtin
On a day when the University honored one of its football program's most significant figures, former coach Don Fambrough, it embarked on a new era.
An estimated 15,000 Jayhawk fans caught a glimpse of the new Kansas football team under the leadership of new coach Charlie Weis during the spring game Saturday.
New quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps showed off their extraordinary passing ability that Kansas fans haven't seen since Todd
Reeing, and relatively unknown linebacker Michael Reynolds displayed his defensive prowess on the field by recording four tackles for a loss and three sacks. Running back Tony Pierson ran for 141 yards and scored an 88-yard touchdown that would have made NFL scouts drool over his incendiary speed.
By C.J. Matson
cmatson@kansan.com
But the game was what it was; a spring game. Let's remember that last season this team didn't even win a conference game, and it has lost 26 of the last 31 games for numerous reasons. Realism must set in. This team has a long way to
go to being at par with the Big 12's contending teams.
New, experienced quarterbacks can go a long way in improving a team, but they can't solve all of the team's problems, especially on
the defensive side of the ball. Last season, Kansas was ranked dead last in total defense, yielding 516.42 yards-per-game.
Weis said the offense is ahead of defense in terms of progress, but he believed the defense would improve by September because of the new players inserted into the lineup as well as the new defensive philosophy.
All the success and relevance
"We've taken a bunch of steps, but we have a bunch of steps to go." Weis said of his team. "For us to be competitive on a weekly basis, we have a lot of work to do."
that Mark Mangino brought to the football team through his mentality and football philosophy quickly evaporated when he was dismissed and Turner Gill succeeded him. As abysmal or disappointing as the Kansas football team has been for most its history, the Turner Gill era might have been one of the lowest, if not the lowest point because of its excellence in futility. The players' effort and execution were questioned during the Gill era, and Gill, along with his assistant coaches, were criticized for not preparing his team.
We live in an instant gratification-oriented society. When teams aren't winning games, we at least expect a coaching change.
Give Weis and his team time. As Weis said in his introductory press conference in December, he doesn't have a magic wand.
The spring football game was a sneak peak. I wouldn't say it doesn't tell us anything, but I would say it doesn't tell us much. It's a practice session essentially. We can only know if the team has improved or not when it plays games that count against actual opponents.
