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.

A TEAM THAT INSTILLED PRIDE
Moments after Kansas lost to Kentucky in the national championship game, the lajhawks pressed their backs against their lockers and thought about it all. Some eyes were bordered with redness and tears. Some heads drooped and faced the stable, plainness of the floor. No one spoke until questioned. An entire season was spinning through their minds.
Senior guard Conner Teahan was breaking down. He vocalized memories of boot camp in September and how this team came together by March. Then he dropped his head and bawled as reporters, rookies and veterans alike, just stood around him watching. Teahan then held it in and carried on.
"I don't think you'll be able to really put it into perspective until a couple weeks go by," he said. "Just because it's going to hurt."
This pain, a proof of humanity and genuine passion, was one reason why Kansas fans adored this team. From Teahan to junior forward Thomas Robinson to senior guard Jordan Juenemann, the members of this version of Kansas truly cared.
Unlike many of Self's teams in the past, this one had many steps to take before it could reach real success. While Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor among others had undeniable talent, most of the team had to work through inexperience. Junior forward Kevin Young had never seen a grand stage. Junior center Jeff Withey never had to produce for Kansas to win. In this season, that changed drastically.
In New York City and Maui, Hawaii, the jayhawks showed that they had some unique talents, but weren't yet elite. They hung around with Kentucky before a brutal second half and they were a few bad breaks away from beating Duke. These games proved that this team would go as far as Taylor could take them. It also showed that Withey could become a force.
Shortly after, all the hope was punctured with the loss to Davidson. Overreacting fans wondered if this team would miss the NCAA Tournament. Coach Bill Self said this his team just stunk. He wasn't sure what the future would hold.
But the Jayhawks marched through the Big 12 schedule like it was any other year. They had two instant classics with Missouri; the latter ending at Allen Fieldhouse with a monumental Robinson block and a sweet tasting victory.
Joseph M. Ripka
As the victories piled up, it started to happen. These pieces pitched become players. Junior guard Travis Releford morphed from a robot to a defensive ace. Withey had his off games, but usually looked tougher as the season moved along. Taylor had one of the finest conference seasons in recent memory. Robinson became one of the best players in

mrothman@kansan.com
They didn't win the Big 12 tournament, but going into the NCAA tournament, with junior guard Elijah Johnson starting to realize his potential and the rotation taking shape, the Jayhawks looked like a dangerous No. 2 seed.
The fact that the Jayhawks made it to the championship game, to some, was a great surprise. But the way they got there, slow, hard-to-watch comebacks, made sense every time. Purdue's Robbie Bummel nearly ended their season, but the Jayhawks found a way, North Carolina's size and speed nearly ended their season, but Self used some defensive tricks to stall his foe, one of the top offenses around. Kansas led Ohio State for about 10 percent of the game, but still won and made it to the championship.

While Kentucky was supremely talented and deserved to win that game, Kansas proved that it could have done the same. A few more points, a few less turnovers and Massachusetts Street would have been hopping like it was 2008.
Perhaps easing the pain of what almost was, most Kansas fans I talked to handled the loss with class and understanding. This season, as a whole, was an incredible accomplishment. People around Lawrence understood this. When it started, few knew what exactly this team could do. By the end, every one knew what they were going to get. The question was: would it work?
In Allen Fieldhouse, they don't lift banners for tournament appearances, they lift them for championships. And while this team couldn't win it all, it did bring the best out of a fan base. Fighting through the hard times, an unusual phenomenon for fans of Kansas basketball. Testing your gut through times of uncertainty, such as both Missouri games, the Purdue game and the Final Four matchup with Ohio State. Sticking by your team, even if they couldn't fulfill a dream.
Self patrolled that sideline all year and on the way, squeezed all he could out of a hungry team with only so much skill. She said he never likes to teach effort, only execution. This thought meshed with this team. They always had an insatiable need to win, and so they gave it what they had. It wasn't enough for a championship, but it was enough to make layhawk fans proud.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
I was a Monday or Tuesday afternoon in February. Kansas and Missouri would meet again a few days later in Allen Fieldhouse and I was in the media workroom after a Bill Self press conference.
The room was empty except for myself and Vahe Gregorian, the Missouri beat writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We began talking about nothing in particular when the Tigers' move to the SEC was brought up. He immediately talked about how he was going to miss the old barn after visiting on a yearly basis for so long.
I then realized I had already witnessed 16 games in the Fieldhouse that season alone, maybe as many as he had seen while covering Mizzuo.
Then I made a newfound effort to soak up all of the atmosphere in the building every time I "had" to cover a game, because no matter how exciting a place or event is to a person, time seems to always drain that excitement, slowly and without fail.
Especially the excitement for the little things, like when the band started playing and you knew there was just an hour until tipoff. Or how I found it funny that the student section belted out the chorus of "Living on a Prayer" when the band played the song. It always seemed like a strange song to sing right before a home game.
There was also the spine-tingling pregame video and glancing over to the visitor's bench during the montage to see if any assistant coaches or players are peaking up at it.
There were usually three or four culprits.
In the early afternoon of Dec. 10, it was great. No. 2 Ohio State was in town and the buzz surrounded pre-season All-American center Jared Sullinger and his back spasms. He watched the game in street clothes and Kansas won, which isn't surprising because the lajhayes have had four undefeated home seasons in the last five years.
But, that wasn't what I remember most about that day. It was an encounter before the game between Bill Self and Buckeye coach Thad Matta.
"Merry Christmas early," Matta said he told Self guarding Sullinger's absence.
"I don't think his exact words were 'Merry Christmas." Self said after the game, smiling. "I think there were some other words in there, maybe describing the holiday"
Was it the most important part of that matchup of top 15 teams? No, but it's what I remember, and it reminds of the next time I ran into Gregorian. We were in the bowels of the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Self and a few players had just finished talking about their Elite 8 victory over North Carolina and the upcoming trip to New Orleans for the Final Four.
"The only bad thing about covering this

team," Vaha said. "Is that you might not ever have a better beat."
It's about a loss.
Time will tell, but the stories were great. The story I always come back to isn't about a great game or a road trip or the debauchery in New Orleans.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson slumped in his chair with his head down, talking to the media because that was part of the gig.
But he also talked about a shot.
"Kardiac Kansas" as CBS' Dennis Dodd had called them, were 30 seconds from flat-lining against Kentucky in the national championship game when Johnson had a three-point attempt in the corner to make it a one-possession game. National Player of the Year and shot-block extraordinaire Anthony Davis came flying down the baseline to contest his shot, and it worked. Johnson was in midair when he realized Davis' long arms would indeed swat the ball away so he tried taking an (illegal) dribble before landing on the hardwood floor.
He talked about missed opportunities and shattered dreams and Kentucky's dominance because the Wildcats were just that good. Buck was asked to pounce.
Travel. Kentucky ball.
Game over.
"That was big," Johnson said, shaking his head and half-smiling. "That was going to be the big shot, man."
Maybe Johnson sat there and grinned because Kansas wasn't supposed to be playing in April in the first place. The team raised more preseason question marks than Kansas teams are known to raise and they lived on a tight rope for five months, winning games with a bench that featured a former walk-on and a guy that didn't play basketball the previous year.
Maybe he smiled because he was thinking what I was thinking, that Kansas was playing with such toughness and resiliency that it could have beaten the 66 other tournament teams on that rainy Monday night in New Orleans, but it was matched up with No. 67, a Kentucky squad with enough talent and cockiness to fill Bourbon Street.
I'd like to think Johnson smiled because he realized what I realized, that you only get so many great opportunities in life and the moments you never forget are the moments you never thought you'd remember.

Legends game ends in cinematic fashion
MAX ROTHMAN
Every fan in Allen Fieldhouse had seen something like this before.
mrothman@kansan.com
Paul Pierce dribbled slowly at the top of the key, waited until just before the shot clock expired, then sunk a three-point shot with five seconds left.
"Mario ... Mario ... Mario ..."
That's when fans started chanting another name.
Mario Chalmers, the same hero who hit the miracle shot against Memphis in the 2008 title game, followed Pierce with a three-pointer of his own at the final buzzer.
There was no overtime, just a 111-111
tie — an ideal ending to the Legends of the Phog exhibition game on Saturday afternoon at the fieldhouse.
"It was just like his championship shot," Pierce said. "And everyone got a replay of it tonight."
For most of the game, there were more laughs than defensive stops and more air balls than swishes. That suited the game just fine. Simply having these guys back in the fieldhouse was all any fan could have asked for.
But the ending was simply cinematic.
Even after badly missing a few shots earlier in the game and losing control of the ball with six seconds left on the shot clock, everyone in the building knew that Pierce
would hit the shot. And so did he.
"If you don't believe that you're going to hit it," Pierce said, "Then why be out there?"
When Chalmers followed with yet another one of his dramatic shots to add to Kansas basketball folklore, the fieldhouse erupted.
"Yeah I heard it," Chalmers said of the fans chanting his name before the final shot. "It's something that I've done before."
After the game, coach Bill Self, former coach Larry Brown, Pierce and Chalmers praised the tradition and history of Kansas basketball.
Self reminisced on the day that Wayne Simien congratulated him for winning the national championship. Self told Simien
that he wished he could have won a championship with Kansas. Simien told Self: "Coach, you don't understand. I did"
"It meant as much to him knowing that we won it," Self said. "Because he is a team member and always will be."
Bud Stallworth strolled the fieldhouse with a sharp blue suit and a wide smile. Ted Owens teared up when greeting his team. Darnell Valentine even got on the floor and played with the younger guys. Yet for all the legends — the history, the theatrical dunks, the ending of Pierce and then Chalmers — is how this game will be remembered.
"I felt like this was a game-seven playoff game," Pierce said.

McLemore and Traylor ruled ineligible
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self announced Friday that freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor have been ruled as partial qualifiers by the NCAA, and will not be eligible to play in the 2011-12 season. They may practice with the team at the end of the fall semester, but cannot begin playing until the 2012-13 season.
McLemore, a freshman guard from St. Louis, was considered to be the jewel of Self's recruiting class this season. With length and athleticism, he figured to be a scorer and defender off the bench who could have worked his way into the starting lineup.

NEW ORLEANS
Traylor, a freshman forward from Chicago, was a bit more of a project for Self and assistant coach Danny Manning, but would have likely seen playing time because of the team's lack of depth at forward. His strength and rugged rebounding would have been useful, especially when junior forward Thomas Robinson and others get into foul trouble.
The roles of freshmen guards Naadir Tharpe and Merv Lindsay, sophomore forward Justin Wesley and junior forward Kevin Young will likely expand because of the duo's inability.
Freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor got used to each other on the sideline this year. The NCAA prohibited them from playing in the 2011-2012 season.

Top basketball recruit signs with Kansas
mrothman@kansan.com
MAX ROTHMAN
After years of following a top recruit from Wichita, coach Bill Self now has documented evidence of his prize.
Self announced Wednesday that Perry Ellis, a senior forward from Wichita Heights High School and the No. 24 recruitment on Rivals.com, signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Kansas next season.
Ellis committed to Kansas on Sept. 21 in his high school's gymnasium before coaches, teammates, media, family and friends. "We
felt like he was as important of a recruit as we have had since we've been here." Self said. "You have to get your local guys and certainly he has a chance to be in that same mold of a Wayne Simien-type guy. Fans are going to fail

in love with him because he is so responsible and disciplined."
Self and his staff began recruiting Ellis when he was a freshman at Wichita Heights and followed his development as he grew.
"He has progressed to the point to where he may play as much on the perimeter than on the inside for us," Self said. "He's going to be a three man."
Self praised Ellis' athleticism, speed, strength and explosiveness and said that he could contribute immediately as a freshman.
"We can pretty much put him out there and he can figure it out because he's so versatile," Self said.
Ellis' grade point average at Wichita Heights is 4.0. He volunteers as a youth basketball teacher and commits time to the
Wichita Children's Home Self attributes Ellis' talents and kind personality to his upbringing.
"The fact he has never made a B. The fact he's competitive in the classroom. The fact he will be a great ambassador for our University and athletic program, shows that he comes from great parents in Fonda and Will." Self said.
Self said he is looking forward to the Ellis family's future involvement with the team.

Teahan emerges as Self's 6th man in exhibition game with Pitt State
MAX ROTHMAN

mrothman@kansan.com
A former walk-on, backup quarterback and bench regular, senior guard Conner Teahan isn't used to games such as Tuesday night's exhibition, but he will be soon.
"Conner's our sixth man," Self said. "There's no ifs, ands or buts about that."
Teahan sunk three consecutive 3-point shots in the opening minutes of the game, an 84-55 victory against Pittsburgh State at Allen Fieldhouse.

and cemented his role as he first guy off the bench in Self's already thin rotation.
"I if Want to get in the game, it's got to be on." Teahan said of his jump shot.
His hot start masked what was a sluggish beginning for Kansas in the exhibition. Kansas scored just four points yet surrendered eight turnovers in the seven minutes that followed Teahan's threes.
Careless passes led to turnovers, which ushered the game into a frenzied, sloppy pace in the first half. However, the team settled down and pulled away from its in-state opponent as the exhibition progressed.
An exhibition game should not be viewed as a literal translation of what fans will see throughout the season. Three of Self's best players didn't suit up. However, early signs indicate that Teahan, a slow guard who can heat up from the perimeter in a hurry, will be more than a bench stallist.

Tharpe's productive night was a friendly reminder of the duo's high school days.
"This is the point guard 1 had in BA (Brewster Academy) right here." Robinson said, playfully rubbing Tharpe's head and smiling. "A shooter, passer, a true point guard. All around."
Tharpe's debut for Kansas was less than successful last week against Pittsburg State. He finished with nine turnovers, and according to him and coach Bill Self, an extra week of practice did wonders. Tharpe credited fellow guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson for pushing him harder in practice. Self credited Tharpe for not trying to make a spectacular play on every possession.
"We were eye-to-eye at Brewster," Robinson said. "Hopefully that will transfer over here."

Despite early foul trouble Kansas trounces Towson 100-54
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The potential of junior forward Thomas Robinson has been known and documented, even when the Morris twins starred and started ahead of him in seasons past. He's not the mystery of this year's team; it's the role players behind him. In 100-54 victory against Towson on Nov. 11 in Allen Fieldhouse, these lesser known pieces were the key to an early onslaught that never ceased.
"If it's possible to be underrated at 13th in the country, I think Kansas is," Towson coach Pat Skerry said.
Junior guard Travis Releford, a complementary piece, exhibited his usual high pressure defense on Towson ball handlers, which translated into offensive chances. He attacked the basket with quick, sharp steps and sunk timely 3-pointers.
"After getting a few layups, I had confidence in my shot," Reford said.
The same could be said for junior for

ward Kevin Young, who Self said was the team's best rebounder against Towson.
Young slammed a few crowd rousing dunks and had his strongest game of the season, finishing with 13 points and 7 rebounds.
"I'm still not sure how to react after a dunk." Young said. "At Loyola, I would pat my afro."
Despite Young's solid effort on the glass, Towson outrebounded Kansas 35 to 32. Robinson said that he should be fully responsible for the deficit after picking up two fouls and spending some unexpected time on the bench early in the first half.
"That was my fault." Robinson said. "I got those two fouls, so I had to sit out of the game. I wasn't able to help my team."
Friday marked the first time Kansas finished a half without a turnover since an 81-68 victory against Oklahoma on Feb. 22, 2010. With committed on-ball defense and turnover free basketball, this kind of quick and balanced offensive attack could match up well against No. 2 Kentucky in Tuesday's New York City showdown.
"We have to go after it like men," Self said. "We'll spend our entire next three days emphasizing that."

Kentucky outshines Kansas in New York City
IMAY ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Season to season, the Kentucky Wildcats ooze flamboyancy and supremacy. Whether they win it all or not, any team coached by John Calipari consistently frightens opponents and amazes oglers.
"There's no kid on our team other than Tyshawn that's played a big boy game like this," coach Bill Self said.
On Nov. 15, Calipari's high flyers matched the glitz of the shining hardwood at Madison Square Garden and trumped No. 11 Kansas 75-65. At first, the theatrics didn't resemble a fairy tale. Shots were swatted, not celebrated. Crossross led to tumbles, not easy baskets.
both jaywaks and Wildcats hacked arms freely.
"We didn't take care of the ball like how we practiced," Taylor said.
In his team's final possession of the first half, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor dribbed the seconds away, deked toward the hoop, then fell fat to that shining hardwood. By halftime, the score was tied at 28, but from there, all of Kansas' momentum died and never returned. At the start of the second half, the Wildcats blocked, sprinted and dunked their way to an 8-0 run.
The Jayhawks either turned the ball over or watched their shots skip to the sideline following a block. Taylor drove to the hoop but repeatedly met the same fate in freshman
forward Anthony Davis, who deflected nearly everything he could reach. Senior guard Conner Teahan, the team's best shooter so far in the young season, went cold from deep. Junior forward Thomas Robinson fouled too often and missed layups that he usually dunks at Allen Fieldhouse.
"We got beside ourselves on a couple of plays," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "We felt it."
Once the Wildcats got going, all normalcy dissipated. Any time the Jayhawks found a sliver of rhythm, their superior foe topped it with a 3-point swish or a powerful dunk.
Self was far removed from the glory of his 2008 national championship victory over Caliparí, who then coached Memphis. Self
tried to stall Kentucky with timeout after timeout, but the Wildcats never stopped running. He tried to find lineups that could score effectively against the length and speed of the defense, substituting players back and forth like boomerangs.
It just never worked. As a slowly increasing deficit tip-toed into the reality of a loss, Self could do nothing but stare at the dominance of some of the players he once failed to recruit.
Kentucky, flush with NBA talent, was meant for the glamour of the night. Kansas, still scattered with mystery, faltered under the lights in an early chapter of what may be an atypical ride.

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.

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
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 backfill.
"He could very easily be at 230 with a couple of cheeseburgers," Wets said. "That's what we were going to have to decide, what weight we want him at, but you can see he has some natural running instincts."

Kansas outlasts Georgetown in Maui

LAHAINA, Hawaii — A week removed from a loss in New York and a few long-distance flights, the Jayhawks never had a second to catch a breath of tropical air.
Georgetown wouldn't let them.
Kansas slipped out of the Lahaina Civic Center with a 67-63 victory after enduring a tense opening-round matchup in the Maui Invitational.
"We continued to keep our composure and we battled," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
Carried by junior forward Hollis Thompson, a stringy skyrocket who shoots 3-pointers with mechanical form, the Hoyas rarely led, but never relented. Thompson dazzled outside, swishing several contested shots from deep, yet never shied away from taking it to heart of the Kansas defense.
Kansas had to work around varying zone defenses and presses that clogged lanes and denied the right to dribble. At times, Georgetown's formations dictated the pace of the game and morphed Kansas into a slower half-court team. Without the privilege of steady fast-breaks, Self needed his shooters to step up.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor obliged, proving that his long summer of shooting
was worth the effort. He shot with balance and composure, knocking down all three of his 3-point attempts, establishing himself as a far more complete player than he's ever been.
"I just felt good," Taylor said. "I shot it pretty good in warm-ups, so I definitely went into the game wanting to look for my shot."
Then there was a brief scare.
With 14:28 left in the game, Taylor jumped to defend a Hoya three, but fell to the floor grabbing his calves. With players, referees and trainers circled around him, Taylor repeated: "I can't do it." After stretching and sitting on the bench for a few minutes, Taylor returned. Just as he had done before the fall, he energized an offense that was often dumbfounded by Georgetown.
12
"I knew I was coming back," Taylor said.
Under Taylor's tutelage, junior forward Thomas Robinson thrived. His experimentation with mid-range shooting produced average results, but he never needed it much. Instead, he hung by the basket, where he's always been effective. Alley-oop dunks and two handed rebounds came in bunches, as Robinson finished the game with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Kansas defeats UCLA in a game of defense
kcarpenter@kansan.com
KORY CARPENTER
LAHAINA, Hawaii — It's as if Kansas coach Bill Self saw this game coming weeks ago. Before the season, he talked in detail about this year's team and it's offense, or lack thereof. Self's teams at Kansas have been stellar defensively, and more often than not, those defenses have been paired with a very good offense.
This year wasn't going to be the case, though. At least not heading into the season.
Self said the Jayhawks "weren't going to outscore anybody," so 85-80 shootouts or scores of that nature weren't going to be the norm.
It was anything but a shootout. The Kansas defense gave up just 26 first-half points as the Bruins were unable to get clear looks at the basket.
In the first half, UCLA sat on two points until the 13:49 mark, due in part to plenty of missed layups, clanked free-throws, and turnovers. They didn't reach the 20-point point plateau until there was less than 6 minutes to play in the half. And by the break, the Bruins had just 26 points to the Jayhawks' 46.
UCLAS apparent advantage, its depth in the front court, couldn't really get anything going the entire night. Josh Smith and Reeves Nelson, the two best post options for the Bruins, finished with just 13 points and six rebounds combined, nullifying any hopes of overwhelming the Kansas back-court which many people see as thin.
Guards Tyler Lamb and Jerime Anderson shot well from from the field and finished with 19 points combined. However, many of those baskets were contested three-point attempts in the second half when Kansas had over a 20-point lead at times. The Bruins got within five with a second half run which included multiple three-pointers by Reeves Nelson and Jerime Anderson.
With 4:37 left on the clock and the Kansas lead sitting at 61-56, the Bruin offense went silent. They missed three layups in the final four minutes and didn't register a single point, eventually losing by 16. The run the Bruins made in the middle of the second half proved to be more an anomaly than an actual threat, caused mainly by bad shots and a swarming Kansas defense. It was an ugly game for Bruins fans, and it was just the game Bill Self expected to see many times this season.

Taylor's turnover helps Duke edge Kansas
I MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
"Nine out of 10 times, when you fake the ball screen, the defender will go with him," coach Bill Self said.
LAHAINA, Hawaii — Trailing 63-61 with one minute on the clock, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor dashed into a wall that never should have existed.
Junior forward Thomas Robinson approached Taylor at the center of the arc, faked a screen and sidestepped out of the way.
The wall, junior forward Ryan Kelly, must have been the one out of 10. He never budged, clogging the corner and the fate of the Jayhawks. With nowhere to go, Taylor
dribbled the ball off his leg and out of bounds; his 11th turnover. On the next possession, unlikely hero Tyler Thornton heaved and sunk a rainbow 3-pointer. No. 6 Duke needed nothing more, defeating No. 14 Kansas 68-61 in the Maui Invitational championship game at the Lahaina Civic Center.
"I don't even know if he saw the rim when he shot it," Self said of Thornton's three. "But it was a heck of shot."
Kelly won the tournament's MVP award, an honor that would have been Robinson's had the jayhawks pulled the upset. And they almost did. They outshot Duke 43 percent to 39. They outrebounded Duke 32 to 27. They led Duke 35-31 going into halftime. There were 12 ties and 16 lead changes.
They just didn't have enough in the decisive final minute.
"It came down to one possession," Self said. "That's the way most great games do."
Robinson, named to the all-tournament team, finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds. He's notched a double-double in all five games this season. Yet no matter the fine statistics, he converted just six of 15 shots, or 40 percent. That rate was ominous, especially for a player who resides by the rim and averaged 56 percent shooting going into the game.
However the Jayhawks clenched the Blue Devils with their defense too. They held freshman phenom Austin Rivers to just 10 points. Junior guard Seth Curry missed six of his eight shots. Even Kelly missed
11 of his 17 shots. But the Blue Devils hit 11 3-pointers, edging their opponent from deep as they always do. The Jayhawks hit just two from behind the arc.
"Give Duke credit," Self said. "They made threes in the last two or three minutes that were remarkable."
Kansas didn't finish the tournament on top, but not all was lost in the title game's collapse.
"I'm still a young player, but I do believe that game will go down as one of the top games of tournament," Robinson said. "It's too bad we got the short end of the stick, but I feel that my team got better."

Kansas calls it 'Hawaii hangover,' wins despite relaxing against FAU
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Call it post-Maui jet lag, laziness or simply overlooking their foe.
For the first four minutes of Kansas' tilt with Florida Atlantic University at Allen Fieldhouse, the layhayes appeared unready to avenge their loss to Duke.
"It was the Hawaii hangover" Self said.
"Too much pineapple juice"
After a float turnovers and a few Florida Atlantic jump shots, the Owls led the game 9-3 and coach Bill Self, face redened and disgusted, called a time out.
From that point on, the jayhawks found a lead through aggression and a sense of urgency, but despite the lead, Kansas regularly committed fouls, turnovers and mental errors. The ugliness wouldn't cease.
Kansas still won the game 77-54, but they never found a true rhythm in their
first game back in Allen Fieldhouse following the 19 day separation.
"I don't know if their concentration was where it needed to be because they were pretty much in control," FAU coach Mike Jarvis said. "They might have relaxed a little bit."
Perhaps baffled at what they were seeing, the usually raucous fans of the Fieldhouse never approached deafening volumes.
"We didn't do anything to juice the building" Self said.
No. 2 Ohio State will visit Lawrence on Dec. 10, but junior forward Thomas Robinson said that the team won't look past this Dec. 3 game against South Florida, nor Dec. 6 game against Long Beach State.
"That's something that comes over time," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "Just keeping our focus and not catching ADD."

Kansas overcomes the crud in 70-42 victory over South Florida
MAX ROTHMAN

There's a sickness going around that drained the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse on a misty Saturday afternoon.
"We've all got the crud," coach Bill self said after the 70-42 victory over the University of South Florida. "I don't know if you guys know the crud's around."
The Jayhawks were sapped of energy in the first half, then revitalized by senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's 20 points in the second half.
"I think there a little bug going around." junior forward Kevin Young said. "When I went to the store last night I got the NyQuil."
Young, who may be feeling the crud, said junior guard Travis Releford and freshmen guards Naadir Tharpe and Merv Lindsay were throwing up recently. Junior forward
Thomas Robinson said that he has been under the weather the past couple of days. Robinson finished with 14 points and 8 rebounds but snapped his double-double streak of six games. Self said several players and a coach have missed practice and visited Watkins Health Center for head colds and other symptoms.
Whether it was sickness or poor shooting that impeded Kansas early, Taylor's ensuing dominance broke the game open. He hit four of six 3-point shots, cueing the turnaround and extending the lead for the Jayhawks.
"Those 3-pointers were big for us to take the lid off the goal," Taylor said.
KANSAS 88. LONG BEACH STATE 80
The consistent defense paired with Taylor's scoring helped the jayhawks get past Saturday's mess struck by the crud.
Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey protected the interior as South Florida converted just 32.6 percent of their shots.

When junior forward Thomas Robinson shot the ball from outside the paint last season, spectators turned their heads in shame and blamed NBA scouts for his experimentation. Now, when Robinson fires away, those same spectators can breathe easy and expect a swish, or at least something close to it.
Robinson's eight-for-eight start from the field appeared rather routine. A jumper from the left elbow. Another from behind the free throw line.
"As much I worked on it, I'm going to be honest with myself," Robinson said. "Don't expect me to come out seven-for-seven every night."
Robinson's shots kept falling and the Jayhawks seemed to be on their way to an easy victory.
But that was the first half
Long Beach State augmented the pressure in the second half Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse and Kansas snuck away with a 88-80 victory that never should have been so close.
"That was a game we had won several times," coach Bill Self said.
Junior center Jey Withey left the game briefly in the second half when contact with the hoop forced one of his teeth through his lip. He returned to the game and finished with 13 points, 13 rebounds and 9 blocks, one block shy of a triple-double.

For all the blood, comebacks, contact and ADD, it was Robinson's show. He's a shooter now, and No. 2 Ohio State may want to take notice.
"We wanted Robinson to try to beat us from the perimeter," Monson said. "He certainly did that."

Sullinger sits, Taylor plays through the pain
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Ohio State coach Thad Matta shook hands with coach Bill Self before Dec. 10 game and said "Merry Christmas."
"I think there could have been a couple of other words thrown in there," Self said. "Maybe describing the holiday."
Matta couldn't have been thrilled at the time. In the Buckeyes first road game of the young season, he had no choice but to sideline sophomore forward Jared Sullinger, national player of the year candidate, for the second consecutive game with back spasms.
Despite the second consecutive game with a torn meniscus in his right knee, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor tossed a career high 13 assists, helping No. 13 Kansas beat No. 2 Ohio State 78-67.
"I wasn't missing this game," Taylor said.
I was miss this game. Taylor turned the ball over seven times, but Self said that he couldn't have won either of the past two games without him. Self also said that junior forward Kevin Young was the difference against the Buckeyes.
Formerly stuck on the bench with foul trouble and inconsistency, Young played his best game in a Kansas uniform since transferring
from Loyola Marymount. He scored 14 points, hit two of three from behind the arc, drew charges and energized the Jayhawks with his surprising effort.
"I haven't seen that," Self said. "If I have seen it, we've made a mistake by not playing him as much. That was his coming out game."
Young's previously unseen aggression complemented Robinson, who scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds without Sullinger to worry about. After the victory, Robinson can look back on the three toughest tests so far and feel better about his team.
"The main three were Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State," Robinson said. "The non-conference would have been incomplete if we didn't get one of them."
The Jayhawks wanted to prove their place among the nation's elite. They lost to Kentucky in New York City, Duke in Hawaii, then faced Ohio State without its best player. No matter, they held one of the premier shooting teams in the nation to 38.7 percent from the field, compared to their own 58.3 percent.

Junior forward Thomas Robinson walks down the court in frustration during the first half of Dec. 19 game against Davidson at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., in which Robinson went 7-18 for 21 points and 18 rebounds in the Jayhawks 80-74 defeat.

Whether on the road or in the friendly atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas players know all about hostile crowds. Whether cheering them on or raining down on them with boos, a good old fashioned lively crowd can keep a team engaged throughout 40 minutes of play. The 80-74刀 to Davidson in Kansas City's Sprint Center featured a rather lethargic crowd that seemed like it wanted to get rowdy, but never quite had the chance. The Jayhaws started off sluggish as Davidon opened up a quick 7-2 lead.
"Guys don't understand that a possession early in the game still counts, and we wasted so many possessions early that allowed them to get comfortable", coach Bill Self said. "And when you allow teams to get comfortable they get confidence."
Self took two timeouts in the first six minutes to try and jump start a Kansas offense that didn't get its second field goal until the 14:31 mark of the first half.
"Knuckle down and focus in." Those Self's words during the timeouts, according to junior guard Elijah Johnson. "Everybody was trying to focus in but it seemed like every play we just had one person that made a small mistake, and we just tried to get all five on the same page"
The nearly 19,000 fans in attendance dwarfed the usual 16,300 that fill up Allen Fieldhouse for normal home games, but the extra layhawk faithful in the seats couldn't quite match the intensity felt in the old barn. Whether it was the size and unfamiliarity with the Sprint Center or the slow start by Kansas which kept the crowd from erupting was hard to determine. The eight point loss was also the second in the last four tries against midmaiors at the Sprint Center. The other loss coming to the University of Massachusetts three seasons ago.
"We start off and we aren't ready to play as a team," junior guard Travis Releford said of the mid-major losses in Kansas City. "That kind of hurts us because we're playing catch-up the whole game. We can't come out and do that."
Bill Self said his team had productive practices leading up to Monday night and he thought they would be ready to play.
KANSAS 63, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 47
"I think Davidson had finals too," he said. "So I'm not buying into any of that."
Dec. 19 game was the first for Kansas since defeating Ohio State nine days prior. The lay-off may have effected the team during its slow start, but Self was having none of it.
"Even though we were only down one at halftime, it was an ugly one." Self said. "It felt like it could have been six or eight."

Abnormal atmosphere benefits Kansas in triumph over Trojans
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
LOS ANGELES — This city's basketball mecca rests at the Staples Center, a few blocks north on Figueroa Street. Unless it's football, the Trojans seem to be forgettable around here.
At the tippoff, the Galen Center was half empty. When reacting to a questionable call by a referee, the crowd cooled, almost politely. The University of Southern California, helpless and slow on offense, recorded 13 points by halftime.
Such a snooser may have been just what No. 11 Kansas (8-3) needed.
"We're spoiled," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "We used to playing in front
of a packed crowd every night. It shouldn't take a packed crowd to get us motivated."
So the Jayhawks motivated themselves and despite several offensive droughts, they defeated the Trojans 63-47 on Dec. 22.
"I don't care how we play as long as we win," senior guard Conner Teahan said. "Straight up"
After an unexpected 80-74 loss against Davidson on Dec. 19 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., the Jayhawks were forced to play in another atypical atmosphere. However this time, against USC in a game they felt was imperative to win, the pressure was eased.
Exclude a solid performance from junior forward Aaron Fuller and the Trojans shot 26 percent from the field. They never came
within 10 points of Kansas in the entire second half. The crowd was out of it, but coach Bill Self's defense stood strong.
"They didn't get a lot of good looks tonight." Self said.
The consistent defense enabled senior guard Tyshawn Tylson and junior guard Elijah Johnson to settle down and simply play.
Taylor had surgery last week on a torn meniscus and wasn't playing at full speed against Davidson. On Thursday, Taylor played cautiously and finished with nine assists compared to just two turnovers.
Johnson, who has seen the pinnacle of the mountain and the darkest caverns of the dungeon in the first 10 games of the season, played smoothly and in control. He finished
with 14 points and snagged four steals.
After the game, Johnson reflected on the mediocre atmosphere. He said it reminded him of another quiet game: the loss against Northern Iowa in the NCAA tournament.
Johnson was just a freshman then, but he remembers the scene.
"That was an empty gym," he said.
The loss to Davidson and the victory over USC, both played in abnormal environments, may prepare Kansas for March when all home games are done with.
Self also wouldn't tolerate two losses in a row.

KANSAS 89, HOWARD 34

Kansas defeats Howard by wide margin
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
By the time Howard had reached double-digit points on Dec. 29 in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas held a comfortable 42-12 lead. A 15-2 Jayhawk run to open the game assured fans that the outcome would really never be in doubt, and the Bison entered the locker room at the half with just 13 points and a 29-point deficit.
The halftime break didn't slow down the Kansas intensity, and the Jayhawks continued to build on the large lead throughout the second half, eventually winning 89-34.
"In the past we haven't really done a good job of that, not only in the first half but continuing over in the second half," senior guard Conner Teahan said of not letting off the gas when holding a big lead. "But today we were able to do that."
Teahan credited the big leads to a few things, namely a heightened energy level from players and more focus on playing hard regardless of how lopsided the score may be.
"No matter what the score is, you do the same thing every possession because you don't know what possession is going to turn the game," Teahan said. "And when you play against stiffer competition you have to be sharp on every possession."
With Big 12 play beginning on Jan. 4. Kansas will most certainly play against stiffer competition in the near future. The Bison
entered Allen Fieldhouse with just three wins over Division I teams. The level of play leads coach Bill Self to examine the 55-point win a little differently.
"I'll evaluate it but I'm not going to put a lot of stock in it," Self said. "I thought from an energy standpoint we played faster with more energy and we looked more athletic, which was good. Other than that, I won't spend a lot of time on it."
Because of the apparent effort to play competitively for the entire 40 minutes of the game, the 29-point halftime lead was extended almost immediately by the Jayhawks, who grabbed a 40-point advantage with just under 12 minutes to play. It gave senior walk-on Jordan Juenemann a chance to see 10-minutes
of action and he finished with five points.
"it's great to get some time out on the court, especially with all the reps we have in practice." Juenemann said of himself and the rest of the bench, which played a total of 94 minutes in the rout.
"I feel like the bench showed a lot more than we have been showing, and I think it's because we came out aggressive," forward reserve Kevin Young said. "We stayed after them and we had a lot of energy."
then they Conner Teahan and Tyshawn Taylor led all Kansas scorers with 13 points a piece while Thomas Robinson led the team with seven rebounds. The Jaywhaws return Saturday to take on North Dakota at 3:00 p.m.

Robinson has career night in lopsided victory
kcarpenter@kansan.com
I KORY CARPENTER
His 30 points led Kansas to an easy 84-58 victory over North Dakota, giving the Jayhawks a 10-3 record to finish out the non-conference schedule.
With New Year's celebrations just hours away and a sluggish first half in which both teams scored just seven total points in the first five minutes, junior forward Thomas Robinson had no problem making his presence known inside Allen Fieldhouse from start to finish Saturday afternoon.
"Tapes and DVD's do that young man no justice with the size of his body and strength," North Dakota head coach Brian Jones said after the game.
Robinson recorded his 9th double-double of the season before entering the locker room at halftime and finished the opening half with 12 points and 10 rebounds. His work wasn't done until getting subbed out by coach Bill Self late in the game with 34 minutes of action, walking off the court to a standing ovation with 30 points and 21 rebounds, both career highs.
"It definitely was a great accomplishment," Robinson said of his career day.
Robinson finished alley-oops that left the rim and backboard shaking after he was already back on defense, and was an obvious mismatch in the paint for North Dakota, who fall to 5-8 on the season. According to senior guard
Tyshawn Taylor, the alley-oops to Robinson just seem too easy at times.
"T-rob is a big target," Taylor said. "Just throw it up there and he is going to get it."
The improvement seen in Robinson this season reminds Taylor of a couple of former Kansas forwards, Marcus and Markieff Morris. Taylor said the off-season attitudes shown by the Morris twins before their junior seasons mirrored the work he saw from Robinson last summer, and the effects are shown nearly every time the layhawks take the court.
Head coach Bill Self called Robinson's game "totally unselfish" after he finished with four assists and was able to find open teammates on the perimeter when met with a double-team by North Dakota defenders.
Robinson's usual barrage of highlight reel dunks weren't the only thing fans saw from him, however. He connected on his first career three pointer from the top of the key in the second half, bringing the sell-out crowd to its feet once again. When asked about the shot, he just laughed.
Probably talking about the assists more so than the 3-pointer, Self summed up Robinson's game rather simply.
"To me," Self said. "He looked like a complete basketball player today."

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

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

When Kansas State coach Frank Martin was asked about the rebounding margin in his team's 67-49 to Kansas, he just laughed. It wasn't a good laugh, though, not for Kansas State fans.
"27 years, including coaching 13 yr olds," Martin said. "And I've never been a part of a game where our team got its tail whooped in the physical part of the game like we did today. It was a complete mismatch."
The Wildcats entered Jan. 4 game as the nation's sixth best rebounding team grabbing 41.8 per game, but were out-rebounded 50-26 by Kansas in the loss. It was a seasonlow for Kansas State.
"That's effort," Martin said. "Rebounds to me, is discipline and effort. When you're not willing to lay your body into somebody, that's not very good. We take a lot of pride in doing that and we obviously didn't today and we got what we deserved."
Kansas coach Bill Self said his team focused more on rebounding heading into Wednesday's game in preparation for Martin's physical style of play. It doesn't mean he wasn't surprised with the outcome, though. Self said he "never could have dreamed" his team would out-rebound the Wildcats by such a high number.
"I think so much of this game is what you
emphasize," Self said. "And guys respond to that I made a pretty big deal against North Dakota, I didn't even play guys in the second half at all because they didn't go after the ball. Sometimes guys respond to those things."
One of those guys was junior center Jeff Withey, who played just eight minutes against North Dakota. He saw 24 minutes of action against Kansas State, finishing with eight points and nine rebounds.
"We knew they were going to be physical and we definitely prepared to go have a physical game," Withey said. "We were working on rebounds all week and it showed up"
Perhaps the biggest benefactor of the added emphasis on rebounding was junior guard Travis Releford, who recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
"Coming into this game coach had me guarding Rodney [McGruder], and in the past he's been out-rebinding us on offense and defense." Releford said. "so he just told me to get after it and make sure he doesn't get any rebounds."
McGruder grabbed his season-average of five rebounds, but the 21 total rebounds from the rest of the Wildcats hampered most efforts to stay in the game.
"Before coming into the game we had out minds set on controlling the glass," Relefon said. "And we came and did it."

Then Teleford dropped a career-high 28 points on Oklahoma in Saturday afternoon's 72-61 victory at the Lloyd Noble Center.
Junior guard Travis Releford swiftly moves around his opponent to get to the goal during the Jan. 7 game against Oklahoma at Lloyd Noble Center where the Jayhawks defeated the Sooners 72-61.
"Today the light came on," coach Bill Self said of Leeford after No. 14 Kansas improved to 12-3 on the season, 2-0 in conference play.
In Jan. 7 victory against Kansas State, Releford scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, both career highs. After Saturday's scoring parade, Self said that Releford has clearly found a comfort zone.
"I don't really look to score," Releford said. "But coach Self lately has been telling me to stay aggressive and take what the defense gives me."

Leford's non-stop scoring bailed his team out of a mediocre first half performance.
The Sooners hit 11 of their 23 shot attempts in the first frame and headed into halftime
At that point, only six points were scored by players other than Reletford and Robinson, who finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds. The Jayhawks committed 11 touls and missed 10 of 12 3-point shots in the first half. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor was scoreless and junior guard Elijah Johnson had just two points.

"We were basically giving them points in the first half" Robinson said.

Then Kansas went on a 29-7 run in the first 11:21 of the second half, capped off with a 3-point shot from Johnson, who finished with 9 points and 5 assists. Self called the outburst the best run his team has had all season.
"Our defense was active, we got our hands on balls and we were able to get out in transition." Self said.
Releford was a primary benefactor in the fast break. Self even said that most of his points were "off junk." No matter, with his grandmother in the stands, Releford played one of his finest games as a jayhawk.
"Trav is definitely giving his butt off right now," junior forward Thomas Robinson said.

LUBBOCK, Texas — For a team that averages just more than 75 points per game, reaching 81 points on any given night isn't something out of the ordinary. That's what Kansas did in its 81-46 victory over Texas Tech, and it was the fifth time the Jayhaws had reached the 80-point mark this season. Again, nothing remarkable, especially against a team that has struggled as much as Texas Tech has this season. However, it wasn't the final score that raised eyebrows in the United Spirit arena in Lubbock, Texas. It was the way Kansas finished the final 30 minutes of play after an offensively anemic opening ten minutes in which the Jayhaws barely managed double figures.
their game too much. He called it the worst start to a game his team has had in a long time, but credited Red Raider coach Billy Gillespie for his physical game plan. Kansas didn't pull away until there was about five minutes left in the first half.
"We had 8 points with about 10 minutes left in the first half," coach Bill Self said. "How did we get to 81?"
"After about the 15-minute mark, I thought we locked in and we played better," Self said. "We just didn't make shots. And once we started making shots everything kind of fell together."

JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
Kansas ended the first 5-42 of the first half on an 18-2 run and didn't slow down after the halftime break, opening up the second half on a 24-6 run that put the once tight game to rest.
Against Oklahoma, Kansas trailed at the break 34-33 before winning the second half by 12 points and cruising to a comfortable 11-point victory. The Jayhawks didn't trail at halftime in Lubbock, instead holding a 15-point lead. But the second half was much more dominant as Kansas got out in space on the fast break and wore down the Texas Tech defense. Taylor credited the defense for the easy buckets.
"The same thing happened at OU," Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of the slow start. "We were kind of laid back when the game first started and they made some shots."
"Once we started pressuring their guards and
getting our hands on the ball, we started getting deflections and steals and turned them into points offensive", Taylor said.

JANUARY 14.2012
Withey nears triple-double in victory over Iowa State
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Throughout the season, junior center leff Withey has gradually transformed himself from a big body off the bench to a legitimate threat both offensively and defensively for coach Bill Self. In his teams 82-73 victory over Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse, Withey did a little more to reaffirm those notions. He captured his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 11 rebounds and was a pest on defense with seven blocked shots, the second most blocks in one game of his career.
"That was something we had to think about when we were going into the lane," Iowa State forward Royce White said. "He is a big-time shot-blocker and a big-time presence on the defensive end and it showed."
The blocks showed up in print after the game, but the altered shots because of Withey's presence in the paint had just as big an effect on Iowa State's offensive possessions. The Cyclones shot just 35.8 percent from the field, a far cry from their average of 45.9 percent for the season.
In a second half in which Kansas was suddenly down 12 after just three minutes of action, Withey had 11 of his 13 points
The usual dunks and newfound hook shot-for which he credits assistant coach Danny Manning-were teamed with a 15-foot jump shot near the free-throw line that he made on two occasions in the final 20 minutes of play.
"He's shooting 85% or whatever from the free throw line, so yeah, he's a good shooter." Self said. "I don't think that we thought defensively that they would dare us to shoot, and so we probably could have worked on that the last couple of days. I think we thought they'd play us soft but not that soft."
Often times being guarded by White, the Cyclones scouting report placed no faith in Withey's ability to knock down an open jump shot. He said it kind of messed with his head that he was so open near the free throw line, but he was able to connect and shot 60 percent from the field.
"We read stats and look at all that stuff, and he hadn't hit a shot outside the paint all year so we backed off and made him step up and shoot," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "He hit a a few then he got loose inside on a few as well. A couple rebounds, a couple dump offs, and he went up and finished. He's a long dude. That's a tough front line to play against."

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.

Kansas Jayhawks hand Baylor Bears their first loss
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The hottest offense in the nation paraded into Lawrence on Jan. 16 fresh off its most recent slaughter.
No. 3 Baylor, undefeated and flush with all the talent that an NBA scout could conjure, routed Oklahoma State for 106 points on Saturday. The Bears were merciless, just as network know it-alls preached they would be
Then No. 7 Kansas (15-3, 5-0) squeaked them on both sides of the floor.
A layered, sturdy defense and an offense unafraid of attacking Baylor's lengthy zone led to the 92-74 victory in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think the nation saw how tough they are:"
Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
The layhawks were out to prove it, too.
"He pressed the up button," said Taylor, who scored 28 points for the second consecutive game.
Just more than three minutes into the game, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor swiftly dribed down the right side of the floor and lobbed a pass behind junior forward Thomas Robinson's head. The national player of the year candidate leaped into the air, slung his right hand backward to catch the ball, and pounded the lob through the hoop with one hand, ensuring that Allen Fieldhouse would never hush.
Robinson's dunk underlined how the game would continue. It was the jawhacks, not the
Bears, who would dictate on both ends.
Robinson's increased patience with the ball provided him with cleaner shots and fewer mistakes. He finished with 27 efficient points and consistently freed space for his teammates in both fast break and half-court sets.
"He's become more a guy that understands the game and how he can take advantage of his skill set and his body," coach Bill Self said.
When the Bears attacked with forwards Perry Jones III, Quincy Miller and Quincy Acy, Robinson acted as the interior muscle to hassle shot attempts and swallow all rebounds.
"If you make it past that stage," junior guard Elijah Johnson said, "you've still got to go over a seven footer who's athletic and can do just
about anything."
Johnson was referring to junior center Jeff Withey, who played aggressively from the opening tipoff and never quit bothering the Bears with his long, shot altering arms.
After Withey clogged the opposition, Taylor initiated the fast break that broke the game open.
"I'm not saying that people are sleeping on us," Taylor said. "But people didn't really know what to expect coming from this team. They didn't really know what we have or what we can do. I think the last two games, we showed them we can be the best team in the conference if we play we have been playing."

AUSTIN, Texas — Down three points with one second left, the Jayhawk killer, Texas junior guard JCovan Brown, hurled a fadeaway three. The shot clanked off the rim, wide left and No. 7 Kansas (16-3, 6-0) escaped with a 69-66 victory.
"He still got a look that scared me," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of Brown, who was defended by junior guard Elijah Johnson and sophomore forward Justin Wesley on the final shot. "I thought it was going in when he shot it."
It was Kansas' closest victory of the season, with only the 67-63 victory over Georgetown in the Maui Invitational bearing any resemblance. For a team with aspirations of success in March. Self echoed the importance of games like these.
"Coach was saying how good this was for us in the time-out when we were down four points," Taylor said. "Games like this are always learning experiences. This is how teams get better, having close games and fighting on the road."
One year after his mother's death, and one year after Brown scored 23 points and ended Kansas' 69-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse, junior forward Thomas Robinson started slowly, logging just six points and one
rebound in the entire first half.
He said his mother wasn't on his mind when he was out there.
"No disrespect," Robinson said. "But that's something that I have to live with every day. For the media it's the anniversary."
"It's a regular day" Taylor said. "just coming out here and doing work."
Without Robinson's typical production in the early stages of the game, Taylor took charge, slashing to the hoop and knocking down three-point shots. He finished with 22 points, five rebounds, four assists and perhaps more important than any other statistic, zero turnovers.
"Maybe it was that guy that said something bad about him on Twitter," Self said of Taylor's three-game streak of more than 20 points scored.
Robinson returned to his more typical, aggressive form in the second half, posting 11 points and eight rebounds. He grabbed four rebounds in the final 4:19 and squeezed a pass through Texas' interior defense to find junior center Jif Withey for a three-point play with 37 seconds left.
After missing his first three attempts, Robinson sunk his fourth shot from the free throw line, setting up Brown's final miss.
"I thought they were more active than us." Self said. "But we put the key ones later."

Self's coaching helps push Jayhawks to victory
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self's words of direction, no matter how pointed or audible, seeped through the ears of his players at Allen Fieldhouse.
After timeouts filled with nothing but play-calling, the same plays hammered into their minds by rote, some layhawes sauntered back to the court mindlessly, unaware that a play was called and unsure of their place on the floor.
With 37 seconds left in the game, Self made a few substitutions, but junior forward Thomas Robinson ignored his defensive assignment, Texas A&M senior forward David
Loubeau, who scurried downcourt freely and dunked the ball uncontested.
"Our heads weren't there at all tonight," Self said.
Even with the mental miscues and spotty execution, No. 5 Kansas denied the Aggies and found just enough points to win 64-54.
"We're just shooting the ball so bad." Self said. "Good gosh."
Robinson and junior guard Elijah Johnson, whom Self called "haywire, brain-dead," couldn't find their strokes early, combining to shoot one of 11 from the field in the first half. Loubeau succeeded in pushing Robinson out of the paint and forcing jump shots, turnovers and frustrating possessions.
"I realize that the deeper we get into the conference, the more the games seem to get harder for me," Robinson said.
After recognizing that his midrange game wasn't in tune, Robinson stuck his hands and legs into the teeth of the Aggies' interior, snatching rebounds and trading them for two points or a foul. When he got to the line, he made them count, sinking all 10 of his free throws. When he wasn't fouled, he used aggression and a quick first step to squeeze through the defense.
"I thought he was in the paint a long time," Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. "We couldn't move him."
While Robinson's success fluctuated, senior
guard Tyshawn Taylor continued to shine, scoring 17 points off six of nine shots from the field. Taylor, the former scapegoat of the layhawks, the same player who surrendered 11 turnovers against Duke in the Maiu Invitational title game, followed his turnoverless game at Texas with just two turnovers against Texas A&M.
"I'm trying not to think about it," Taylor said of his recent accomplishments. "I just want to play. I feel like if I think about it, I'll start messing up."

IOWA STATE 71, KANSAS 64

Royce White, Cyclones upset Jayhawks in Ames
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
AMES, Iowa — Royce White, Iowa State's sophomore forward with a full menu of skills, woke up on Saturday morning after having nightmares of missing free throws.
"It itches like an island up there when you're on a bad streak." White said of his struggles at the free throw line.
So he went to the gyn early and shot free throws with his coach, Fred Hoiberg. White's teammates encouraged him the entire day, even during the game, and he made the shots when they counted most.
With 1:42 to play and Iowa State leading No. 5 Kansas by three points, White drained his final two shots from the line.
After one of his six converted free throws, White walked from the free throw line to underneath the hoop, then looked up at the net.
"That was for Thomas," he said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. "He said I was going to miss them."
White, who tallied 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists, not Robinson, the national player of the candidate.
Robinson, who normally vacuums rebounds with two hands, rabbed a needes-

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

Second half focus key in defeat of Sooners
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The lavhawks couldn't help themselves
Can you blame them? Missouri's up on Saturday.
They took the Sooners seriously, especially after Oklahoma won 63-60 at Kansas State on Saturday. The Jayhawks knew that focus was mandatory, especially after they stumbled at Iowa State on the same day. But at times on Feb. 1, Kansas had another game in mind.
"In the back of our heads," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said, "somewhere we were thinking about that game."
Though coach Bill Self refuted it, perhaps the Border Showdown clouded his players' minds in the first half.
Still, No. 8 Kansas (18-4, 8-1) romped Oklahoma 84-62 at Allen Fieldhouse with a
tireless fast break that sprouted in the opening minutes of the second half.
"We took a lot of three-pointers in the first half," Taylor said. "Kind of playing into their hands."
Kansas led 34-31 at halftime, so Self told his team to stop settling for three-pointers, which are easier to shoot than convert, and start attacking the meat of Oklahoma's zone defense.
"We weren't by no means dominant in the first half," Self said. "I just thought we needed to play with more energy."
Keyed up by high-pressure defense, Taylor sped his team and ran right at Oklahoma's interior. With six and a half minutes left in the game, he took an inbounds pass on one end of the floor, sprinted with the ball to the other end, shedding would-be defenders, and converted a lay-up before the Sooners were
even close to ready for him. The possession transired in no more than three seconds.
With Taylor drawing so much attention, junior forward Thomas Robinson was able to return to his usual state.
"To me, Thomas hasn't been himself for three games maybe," Self said. "But he was tonight."
Robinson, who scored 19 points and corralled 17 rebounds, cleaned up missed shots by using his strength and size to displace the opposition. After all three of his dunks, he repeatedly beat his chest and raised his hands to the fieldhouse crowd, demanding more volume.
"He's an All-American candidate for a reason," Oklahoma junior forward Romero Osby said. "He's big and strong. He does a good job of positioning himself down low and shielding people off with those shoulders that he has."
The Jayhawks shot 39 percent from the field in the first half, then uped that to 71 percent in the second, augmented by a 10-for-10 start. Similar to the 72-61 victory at Norman, Okla, it was a tale of two halves, but a victory nonetheless.
In the locker room after the game, Self told his team they can finally start thinking about Missouri.
"I'm leaving out of here more excited about our team than I was before the game started," Self said.
Taylor said that he and his teammates need to continue to stagnate opposing offenses.
"If we do that and rebound the ball," he said,
"I think we can beat anybody."
Step on up, Tigers.

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

Jayhawks collapse late against Tigers
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Fresh out of the final television timeout and holding a 69-63 lead, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor seemed stuck on the baseline near the corner, the raucous Missouri student section nearly within arm's reach.
With any thoughts of a productive Kansas possession dwindling by each dribble, Taylor found space on the baseline and darted for the hoop, throwing down a dunk to quiet the Tiger faithful and giving the Jayhawks an eight-point lead with just under three-and-a-half minutes to play.
Unbeknownst to Kansas fans at the time — or anyone watching the game, really — Taylor's dunk was the final bucket for the Jayhawks in Saturday night's 74-71 defeat. Missouri ended the game on an 11-0 run.
"We let the game get away from us," junior forward Travis Releford said. "You have to give credit to them. They made big shots, but we also turned the ball over late."
While Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon was finishing an old-fashioned three-point play, a layup and a free throw, as well as two highly contested three-pointers; Kansas turned the ball over four times in the final three-and-a half minutes. Taylor had a chance to give Kansas a one-point lead with a
pair of free throws with 42 seconds remaining,
but missed both.
Taylor, who played 38 minutes in the loss, was noticeably winded in the final minutes. Fatigue could be pointed to as the cause for the missed free throws, but the guard is shooting just 67.6 percent from the free-throw line this season to begin with. Taylor was one of four layhawks to play 29 minutes or more and one of three to play at least 35 minutes.
"I don't think it was fatigue, but it could have been," Kansas coach Bill Self said of the failed execution in the final minutes. "We obviously made some really bad plays late. Really bad plays that just put them in position to win the game."
Self didn't think the collapse down the stretch was a composure issue,but said someone who watched the game could definitely make that case.
"We definitely did it to ourselves," junior center Jeff Withey said. "We had the lead and if we had just held onto the ball it would have been a wav different outcome."
They didn't, however, and Missouri picked up its second home victory over Kansas since the 2005-2006 season.
"We've had three sets of three minutes over here that absolutely stink," Self said. "And that would be right up near the top."

Withey: head and shoulders above Baylor
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
WACO. Texas — Every day in practice, junior center Jeff Withey's teammates scream at him, punch him in the chest and jump on him to roll his emotions.
"They'll do it any way." Withey said of his teammates' antics.
At Missouri, Withey lacked consistent aggression and didn't score a point. Coach Bill Self told him a scoreless night couldn't happen again.
On Feb. 8, Withey said his coach's words were stuck in his head, so he scored a career-high 25 points and guided No. 7 Kansas to a 68-54 victory over No. 6 Baylor at the Ferrell Center.
Exactly how big was the seven-foot Withey in the victory?
"As big as he really is," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "He was huge tonight."
Withey had a shaky start after a thun
derous alley-oop dunk from sophomore forward Perry Jones III. Withey turned the ball over and committed a foul, all within the first 30 seconds of the game.
But with the Jayhawks trailing 7-0 and momentum fading fast, Taylor shook junior guard Pierre Jackson with a quick crossover dribble at the top of the arc, drew another defender, then lobbed Withey an alley-oop dunk of his own.
The slam showed a glimpse of what was to come for Withey, who scored 17 of his team's 33 first-half points.
"I'm so happy with my big fella right now," Taylor said.
Kansas attacked Baylor's zone by exposing gaps and consistently luring two defenders to one player. With quick and judicious ball movement, the Jayhawks worked to the inside, almost always finding Withey by the basket for layups, dunks and free throws, which he converted a career-high nine of 11.
"Cole had some good games." Self said of
former Kansas center Cole Aldrich. "But I don't know if he had any better than that."
Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds for his 17th double-double, picked up his second foul with 5:26 left in the first half. As Robinson sat on the bench for the rest of the half, the Jayhawks worked the offense through Withey. For a nearly 12 minute stretch from the end of the first half into the second, the Jayhawks went on a 34-5 run.
Jones III had the first dunk. He's the prospect in this game who NBA scouts want the most, but he also missed seven of his eight shots, only scored five points and grabbed two rebounds.
"I don't know why Withey likes playing against us so much," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "But he looks like an All-American every time he does."
It was Withey's night, no matter what the scouting reports once said.

Junior center Jeff Withey puts up two points during the second half of the game against Oklahoma State on Feb. 11. Withey scored a total of 18 points and 20 rebounds for the Jayhawks' victory.

Opposition beware: junior center jeff Withey is falling on the scorer's table for possessions now.
Oklahoma State freshman guard Cezar Guerrero tried to up-fake Withey, who held his ground. A half-second later, when Guerrero took a shot, Withey soared at him with an extended right arm and blocked it. He tipped the ball to the sideline, beat Guerrero to the ball and threw it to his teammate, junior guard Travis Releford, as he fell on the score's table.
Withey ran from the scorer's table to the other end of the floor and demanded the ball. Once he got it, he drew two defenders and tossed a no-look, over-the-head pass to junior forward Kevin Young for the wide-open dunk.
It was this kind of hustle and skill from Withey, who finished with 18 points, a career-high 20 rebounds and seven blocks.
that propelled No. 7 Kansas to an 81-66 victory over Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Teams focus on Thomas a lot," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. "When Jeff is playing well, it gives us that extra threat."
With Withe飞ing all over the court for blocks, deflections, rebounds and points, Robinson reached 24 points and 14 rebounds, his 18th double-double, rather easily.
"I feel like I'm not even working to score anymore now with the way Jeff is playing," Robinson said.
Led by Withey's energy and production, the Jayhawks broke the game open early and led 51-24 going into halftime. However in the second half, perhaps because they felt comfortable with the lead, the Jayhawks played sloppily, committing 11 turnovers and succumbing to the Cowboys' full-court pressure.

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.

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.
"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.

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."

Close calls for Taylor in Manhattan
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
MANHATTAN, Kan. — He almost did it again.
In the final minute of Monday night's game at Kansas State, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor missed two free throws and traveled.
In the final minutes on Feb. 4 at Missouri, he missed two free throws and was called for a charging foul.
The difference? The Jayhawks won this time, edging the Wildcats 59-53 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.
"It crossed my mind a few times," Taylor said of the similarities between the rivalry games. "I was trying not to think about it."
Junior center Jeff Withey starred for the third consecutive game, falling just one block shy of a triple-double. But when Withey cooled off and Kansas State took a 37-36 lead with 11:49 left, Taylor hit two consecutive three-point shots and keyed an 11-0 run.
"That gave us a little bit of a cushion." Self said. "Ty made some great plays. He made some plays that weren't so great, but certainly those were huge at that moment." Self said of the three-point shots.
Even with a fairly comfortable lead and Self's guidance to do nothing but waste away the rest of the shot clock, Taylor found a way
to create points. Usually this portion of the game, a time to secure, not attack, stalls even the best guards in the nation. When the Jayhawks led 51-44 with only three and a half minutes left, Taylor dribbed the shot clock down to its final few seconds, shook his defender with a cross-over, drove to the hoop, nearly tripped himself, but lobbed a pass to an airborne Withey who laid it in for two points.
"Tyshawn has been unbelievable in conference play. Unbelievable." Self said. "Arguably as good a player in our league."
Just as he did at Missouri, when he nearly carried the Jayhawks to a victory, then unraveled in the closing minutes, he struggled at the end of Monday night's Sunflower Showdown. But Taylor won this time and he breathed easy after the game knowing that fact.
When the game was already decided but the clock had yet to run out, a Wildcats fan screamed at Taylor and reminded him of his failures at Missouri.
Taylor heard the fan, turned around, held up the front of his jersey and flaunted "Kansas" on his chest.
"They had their time to talk to me when I was warming up and during the game," Taylor said. "So I figured that I had my time to talk to them a little bit after the game."

Junior guard Travis Releford jumps up to get the ball into the basket for two points during Saturday night's game against Texas Tech where the Jayhawks won 83-50.
A blowout victory on a strange night at Allen Fieldhouse
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Any worries Kansas fans had of a possible letdown in the rematch against Texas Tech were quickly squashed, as the Jayhawks cruised to an 83-50 victory with four players scoring in double figures.
Things didn't necessarily start off smoothly, however. The popular pre-game video shown before Kansas players are introduced failed to start because of a power outage on the video board, altering a part of the ever-consistent Allen Fieldhouse pre-game rituals.
"I didn't know what was going on," coach
Bill Self said of the malfunction. "It was kind of a downer to me. I look forward to that every time."
With or without the video that often results in an Allen Fieldhouse volume decible reading in the triple digits, at least one person was worried about a sluggish start by Kansas against a team that's been proven to be inferior.
"I think its definitely something coach worries about," senior guard Conner Teahan said. "Especially today with that awkward introduction."
The opening sequences couldn't have gone much better for the lajayhaws, however, as
they hit their first seven shots and opened up an early 17-7 lead.
"It is not the way you want it to happen, obviously," Red Raiders coach Billy Gillispie said after the game, describing a pair of defensive miscues that led to the early onslaught of Kansas buckets.
The Jayhawks shot 57.7 percent in the first half and took a 44-22 lead to the locker room, led by junior forward Thomas Robinson's eight points.
The initial obstacle of not overlooking Texas Tech was a success, but not coming out flat in the second half was a new challenge. Is staying focused with a big lead tough?
"I think it is for this particular group," Self said. "I think its human nature, but we have shown over time that we're not the most mature team or handle prosperity that well."
led by eight points and five rebounds in the second half by Robinson, Kansas kept Texas Tech at a comfortable distance the remainder of the game. There was a moment midway through the second half that made Self a little worried, however.
The popular "Pop Up Video" clip was airing during a timeout, this time highlighting Robinson. Out of the huddle and waiting for action to resume, the players' eyes were glued to the video board.

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

"I don't know what it is," Senior guard
A few empty possessions late for the Aggies and timely free throw shooting from Jeff Withey were just enough for Kansas when the clock read all zeros.
"It's a good win and we'll be happy we won, but I'm not leaving out of here feeling great about anything." Self said. "I don't think anybody in our locker room is."

Hype builds as Border Showdown approaches
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
There wasn't a shortage of hype leading up to the first meeting between Kansas and Missouri on Feb. 4 in Columbia. But unlike many heavily publicized games these days, the first installment of the Border Showdown lived up to its buildup, with the Tigers pulling away with a 74-71 victory.
Now with the Big 12 regular season championship on the line, the hype is back. The Allen Fieldhouse concourse looks more like a homeless shelter with the blankets and mattresses of eager campers strewn across the floor since Sunday morning's lottery.
"The Baylor game this year was pretty good," said coach Bill Self Thursday. "That
have been so many that have been good, but I think this one, with our fans, will have a different feel."
Junior forward Travis Releford said his team gave the first game away and thinks the key for a different outcome this time around is execution and defense, two things that weren't present in the final two minutes of play in Mizzou Arena.
"We're playing for a Big 12 title, and this is a big game for us." Releford said Thursday. "The rivalry, the title and they beat us at their place. There are a lot of factors to it."
The Jayhawks will have history on their side, as the Tigers haven't won in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1998-1999 season. The last time they faced off as top-5 opponents in Allen Fieldhouse, however, No. 2 Mizzou
upset No.1 Kansas 77-71 on Feb.13,1990.
Fast forward 22 seasons, and Bill Self is looking for any edge possible to avenge the loss to the Tigers. He'll have help from Kansas State, who recently completed a season sweep of Mizzou. Self said looking at the film of those two games is on his-to-do list.
Self applauded Kansas State's ability to consistently get the ball inside and stay aggressive throughout the games against Mizzou, something his team wasn't able to do in Columbia. Junior center Jeff Withey attempted just one shot and was held scoreless against the Tigers while having trouble against the smaller lineup, playing for just 22 minutes.
"I think there are a lot of keys to Jeff staying on the floor," Self said. "One is that he needs to be more aggressive and be more of a presence."
Withey echoed those sentiments and said his confidence has "grown a tremendous amount" since then.
Which team makes the better adjustments before Saturday's 3 p.m. tipoff remains to be seen, but some things are certain.
"I think it will the best that I've seen it in my four years here," Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of the atmosphere. "It's going to be crazy, but I'm excited and I'm ready for it.

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.

THE FINAL BORDER SHOWDOWN

Coach Bill Self is surrounded by the media and fans as he walks out for a press conference after winning the rivalry against the Missouri Tigers at Allen Fieldhouse.

It may become, quite possibly, one of the most epocal plays in Kansas basketball history. The kind of play that shows up with Mario Chalmers and Wilt Chamberlain on the pre-game videos. The kind of play that, years from now, helps people remember this rivalry when it lived. And he did it, so he says, with his eyes closed.
The game, the last of its kind, the final Border Showdown with conference title implications, was tied at 75 when junior forward Thomas Robinson blocked the shot.
Robinson abandoned senior guard Kim English in the right corner after sophomore guard Phil "Flip" Pressey ignored a screen and dashed for the hoop. With two seconds to play in regulation time, Robinson hung in the air and swatted Pressey's layup attempt with a hammering right hand, denying the Tigers a victory, sending the game into overtime and riling the Fieldhouse crowd to a volume that was deafening.
"Thomas isn't a shot blocker," coach Bill Self said. "That was a big-time play from a
big-time player."
The No. 4 lajahaws trailed by 19 points with 17 minutes left, but erased the deficit in an arduous second half and won 87-86 in overtime, clinching at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title.
"Revenge, payback," Robinson said. "It definitely feels good. It felt like someone just jumped us and ran away and we finally caught up to them."
With Robinson and Withey on the bench,
Self played junior forward Kevin Young for
28 minutes and senior guard Conner Teahan
for 37.
"Missouri players played with house money," Self said. "We came out there trying to protect as opposed to go take"
For a 15 minute span, Missouri hit 17 of 23 shots while Kansas' offense spatred. Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey, who turned his ankle early in the game, both picked up two fouls in the first half. The silent fear of the Fieldhouse, from the Kansas bench to the student section, was tangible.
36
"Who would have ever thought that that would be what we needed to do to win?" Self said.
Young, who finished with eight rebounds, five points and four blocks, energized a stagnant Fieldhouse with dunks and hustle plays. However, it was senior guard Tyshawn Taylor who once again took nothing and turned it into points.
With his team down 19, Taylor hit a three-pointer, but was quickly answered with a three from senior guard Marcus Denmon. Taylor then found junior guard Elijah Johnson for two more threes in a 65-second span. Teahun hit two of his four threes after that to help carve into the Missouri lead.
Taylor hit a quick three for the first points of the overtime period and drained two free throws with eight seconds left to win the game. All this comes after Taylor missed two free throws in the final minute of the 74-71 loss at Mizzou Arena on Feb. 4.
Down 75-72, Johnson skipped a bounce pass to Robinson, who finished a layup with a Dixon foul, knocking him to a sideways landing on the blue paint. Robinson hit the free throw, then sent the game to overtime with his block.
"I feel good," Taylor said after the victory.
"Words can't even describe I feel."
After Taylor's free throws, the Tigers had one more chance, but Johnson blanketed Dixon, who zipped a pass to Denoman as the clock expired. Denoman's shot bounced around the rim and fell in, but it was just too late.
As the buzer sounded, Self walked on the court, the furor of the crowd swirling around him as he pumped his hands in the air.
"I'm not the most emotional guy" Self said. "But that was as good as it is ites."
"We had the game in our hands." English said. "We gave them a gift."
It was over. The final edition of the Border Showdown with everything on the line.
The comeback tied for the largest in Allen Fieldhouse history and gave fans of both sides a spectacle to witness before Missouri departs for the Southeastern Conference.
If it has to end, if these seemingly perfect foes must never again face off in an important game, at least it ended like this.
"We're never going to be a part of something." Robinson said, "as big as this game was tonight."

Taylor redeems himself in 87-86 victory against Missouri
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
In the final minute of a one-point game earlier this month against Missouri, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor stood at the freethrow line with a chance to tie the game at 72 or possibly give the Jayhawks a one-point lead.
Both shoots clanked off the rim and Kansas eventually lost, 74-71.
Shortly after, one of Taylor's friends told him he would face a similar situation when the Tigers traveled to Lawrence.
Taylor finished with 24 points while playing 44 out of 45 minutes and committing just one turnover. But his final two points stole the show.
Kansas came back from 19 points in the second half and forced overtime. Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon hit a floater along the baseline to give the Tigers an 86-85 lead with 12 seconds left.
Kansas almost never had a final chance to score, however.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson inbounded the ball while Taylor was peering up at the video board for a quick check of the time. The ball bounced a few feet past Taylor, leaving the nearly 16,300 fans in attendance momentarily gasping for breath.
"I'm sure I did," Taylor chucked when asked if his near-fatal slip up scared the

In the timeout moments before Denmon's bucket, coach Bill Self told his team to "go flat" on offense if Missouri scored, meaning he wanted everyone but Taylor to spread out along the baseline to give their point guard room to operate.

seam and attacked. He was fouled on a layup attempt, not unlike the final seconds in the first game against Missouri. But with the crowd holding its arms in the air in silent support of the four-year starter, Taylor coolly knocked down both attempts to give the layhawks the lead, 87-86.

"He got fouled," Self said. "And for him to make the two free throws in the same scenario that he missed them in Columbia, I thought that was good for him."
"He was absolutely right," Taylor said of his friend's prediction. "It was the same team again, but not the same circumstances and I came through this time. Words can't describe how I feel."
The Kansas Jayhawks go into the huddle before heading to center court for the tip off against the Missouri Tigers.

Jayhawks seal eighth consecutive Big 12 title

MAX ROTHMAN
"We got eight, baby," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "This one feels good, too."
STILLWATER, Okla. — Two days after Missouri, one Big 12 season later, the Jayhawks have done it yet again. And now it's outright and unquestionable.
After a 70-58 victory at Oklahoma State in Gallagher-Iba Brena, No. 3 Kansas, claimed its eighth consecutive Big 12 title for good.
As Robinson spoke, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor took a hat off his head. He turned it around and read "8 STR8 champs," running his fingers along the seams and smiling.
Taylor had reason to smile. He had con
queered the conference that pundits said was never supposed to belong to the Jayhawks. As the season progressed, he decreased his turnovers and started scoring more. On Monday, he dropped 27 points on the Cowboys.
"Every time we came down and made a big play, Tyshawn would come down and hit a big shot," Oklahoma State's senior guard Keiton Page said.
On his senior day, Page scored 29 points and hit seven of his 14 three-point shots. At just five-foot-nine, which some call a generous listing, Page used deceptive dribbles and fakes to evade defenders. Taylor and Johnson often tightly guarded Page, but he still made shots.
"He can shoot the rock," Taylor said. "If
he gets any daylight, he's putting it up and usually it's good"
"I'm glad he's a senior" coach Bill Self said.
Yet as Page and freshman guard Brian Williams continued to score, the rest of the Cowboys combined for 9 points and a 17.6 field goal percentage. Oklahoma state forwards and centers didn't score a point.
The low-scoring affair suited the Jayhawks just fine after Saturday's overtime victory against Missouri, which Self called "the most emotional regular season game ever."
"We were gassed, but it wasn't a fast-paced game," Self said. "Fortunately for us, there weren't a lot of possessions."
Self said that with the quick turnaround, this game was one of the season's greatest challenges. The Jayhawks had just 15 minutes of stationary shooting on Sunday, and a brief amount of time to warm up on Monday. The game wasn't filled with energy, it was more a game to fight through and finish with a victory, style points be damned
38
The layhawks did just that, and now they've got another conference title to show for it.
"You're supposed to win at home when you have a crowd like we have," Self said. "But for them to go 7-2 on the road, that's pretty special."

KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self said he received numerous letters from fans leading up to the game against Texas, urging him to allow junior forward Thomas Robinson to share a few words alongside the three seniors who would be honored before and after the final home game of the season.
It's obvious to most everyone that Robinson has played his last game in Allen Fieldhouse and considering his special circumstances, some thought he should be an exception to the time-honored senior night festivities.
"Paul Pierce didn't do it," Self said of the possibility of letting Robinson speak. "All the other guys that left early didn't do it. I don't think you make exceptions on senior
night to do that."
Robinson wasn't his usual self in the first half. He went to the locker room at the break with seven points and five rebounds as Kansas held a 26-21 lead over the Longhorns.
"I think he knows he kind of got off to a slow start," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Coach wanted him to do different things, and I think he picked it up."
Robinson traded in a 30-percent first half shooting performance for 7-of-9 in the second half.
He grabbed defensive rebounds and turned into a de-facto point guard at times, driving for a layup or pulling up for a midrange jump shot.
"He played like the player of the year," Taylor said.
Robinson finished with 25 points and 14
rebounds. He's now averaging 18 points and 11.9 rebounds per game in his first season of getting serious minutes.
He's ballooned from a potential All-American to one of the All-Americans, a leading candidate for the National Player of the Year Award and a near lock to be chosen in the top-10 of this summer's NBA draft.
But senior night at Kansas is a special thing. All of the national media praise and future riches couldn't hide the fact that Robinson is still just a junior.
After the 73-63 victory over Texas, a short video montage of the senior class-Jordan Juenemann, Conner Teahan, and Tyshawn Taylor-played on the video board above center court. Robinson sat on the floor in front of the Kansas bench with his teammates and listened to Juenemann and Teahans speeches.
As the crowd prepared to shower Taylor with a standing ovation, Self took the microphone.
"It was shocking," Robinson said. "I was looking round to see if anyone else knew about it. Then I was thinking I had to speak and I was going crazy at that point."
Self brought the packed house to a roar when he told Robinson to stand up and be acknowledged. He stuck to his guns, though, and didn't allow him to speak.
Robinson called it a special moment regardless.
"I do think he's definitely worthy of being recognized," Self said after the game. Then he smiled and said, "And if he wants to talk, like I said, he can come back next year."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Junior guard Elijah Johnson's uncle passed away last week and services were held Tuesday. Johnson was away from his teammates for three days, spending time with family. When he returned, coach Bill Self took notice of something.
In practice on March 7, in preparation for the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo., Johnson's shot just looked right.
"It looked as pure as it looked all year long." Self said. "I told him that."
Johnson took the words to heart and scored a career-high 26 points on Thursday afternoon, as No. 3 Kansas defeated the Texas A&M Aggies 83-66.
"I think coach kind of gave me a couple of words I needed to hear after going what I went through," Johnson said.
If only Johnson could face the Aggies everyday. When the Jayhawks last faced them on Feb. 22 in College Station, Texas, Johnson scored 18 points in the first half and energized a stagnant bunch with his quick scoring. But in that game, Johnson scord much of his points with laysups. On Wednesday afternoon, he thrived by way of the long ball, knocking down five of seven three-point shots and eight of 11 shots overall.
"You can't really double the post like you want to because he'll just kick it out every time," Aggies forward Khris Middleton said. "We just wanted to try to make it hard on the post and contest their threes, but they made most of those."
Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds — his 23rd double-double of the season — made both of his two three-point shots. It was the first game of Robinson's career that he made more than one three-pointer.
Despite a sloppy start that included a badly missed layup, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor turned it on as the game progressed. He hit three of four three-pointers and finished with 16 points.
With Johnson, Robinson and Taylor firing away, the lajhayks hit 10 of 15 threes.
"When they make ten threes and Robinson hits two threes," Aggies coach Billy Kennedy said. "they're a very difficult team to beat by anybody."
the team's best rate of the season.
Johnson said that after he made his first three-point shot midway through the first half, he hit another one after a referee's whistle. It didn't count, but he knew that he was starting to feel it. He told Taylor that "it felt great," and from then on, the Jayhawks fed Johnson the ball. Self said that after he saw Johnson make a few he knew "he really had a chance to have a monster game."
"Everything I let go just felt like it was going in, nowhere else," Johnson said. "Even off balance or however it went."
The Bears are led by Perry Jones III, who recorded a mealy five points and three rebounds on Feb. 8 in Waco, Texas, the last team he faced the Jayhawks. However Jones III, an NBA talent, torched Kansas State for 31 points and 11 rebounds just hours before Kansas defeated Texas A&M.
With the victory, the Jayhawks advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament, where they'll meet the No. 12 Baylor Bears.
"I opened up my whole arsenal," Jones 111 said after the game.
After defeating the Aggies, Johnson said that beating a team three times in one season can be easy or difficult; all that matters is the approach.
Going into the March 9 matchup with Baylor, he may consider his own words.
"If you pay attention to how you played them the first two games," Johnson said, "it can be quite easy."

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT: BAYLOR 81, KANSAS 72
FINAL FOUR
MARCH 9,2012
For Baylor, the third time's a charm
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While the comforts of Allen Fieldhouse were some 40 miles
away, Kansas still held a sizeable advantage in fan support during the Big 12 Tournament semi-final match with Baylor in Kansas City. The Sprint Center was a sea of blue with specks of yellow, green, and black mixed in.

Coach Belf Self covers his eyes after the Jayhawks have another bad possession on the offensive end during the Jayhawks. March 9 loss in the Bia 12 tournament to Baylor, 81-72.
And being the only team with the entire band, cheerleading squad and dance team present made it seem like a de facto home game for Kansas.
They just didn't play like it.
"They came out like a team that lost to us twice," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "They came out ready to play and I don't know what we did different. Maybe we weren't as aggressive." Baylor eventually won 81-72.
The Bears controlled the final eight minutes of the first half and took an eight-point lead to the locker room. They opened up the lead to 13 less than two minutes into the second half of play.
An 18-3 Kansas run closed the gap midway through the second half, but it wasn't enough in the end.
Kansas' stamina was questioned on its second day of back-to-back games. The Jayhawks are noticeably thin with a bench basically consisting of two players.
"We didn't rebound the ball," coach Bill Self said. "Those are man plays. Even though the battle of the boards was even, I don't think anybody thought that we controlled the glass. I think the perception would be that they controlled it."
"Baylor played as many minutes last night as we did," Self said. "I ain't buying into that stuff. If you're tired in that particular situation, then the reason you're probably tired is because your mind or your preparation level is such that allows you to be tired."
The lack of energy could have been for a number of reasons such as the game's outcome may have had little effect on the Jayhawks' seed in the NCAA tournament.
One thing is certain, though. Kansas will be watching the tournament championship from Lawrence for just the seventh time in its 16 year existence.
Self added after the game that if Friday night better prepares his team for NCAA tournament games next week, it would have been a 'good loss.'
Taylor said the extra day of rest will be beneficial.
He wasn't, however, happy with how they earned that rest.
"Going forward that could hurt us," Taylor said. "We've got to be ready to play from the jump ball."

In one of the Kansas football teams 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.

Kansas receives No.2 seed in NCAA Tournament
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
It's not what the Jayhawks were hoping for, but they'll take it.
"Should be a No. 1 seed," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "But we're cool with that No. 2 seed."
The layhawks enter the 68-team NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest region. Their first matchup is on Friday against No. 15 seed Detroit of the Horizon League in Omaha, Neb. If they defeat Detroit, they will face the winner of No. 7 Saint Mary's and No. 10 Purdue.
No matter the seed for Kansas, it takes six victories to win a national championship.
Coach Bill Self said that while his team hoped for a No. 1 seed, it won't harp on what could have been. Year after the year,
the supposedly mighty always fall, so seeds are irrelevant.
"It never plays out the way that you had envisioned it." Self said.
The Jayhawks have been a No.1 seed the past two seasons, but they lost to No.9 seed Northern Iowa in 2010 and No.11 seed Virginia Commonwealth last year.
With all the prestige and national attention of a No.1 seed, so too comes the pressure of expectations.
"We kind of felt like we had to win it," Taylor said of those two teams. "I think we feel the same way this year, but I don't feel like it's on us as much."
The lahayaws weren't surprised to hear that the selection committee chose them as a No. 2 seed behind No.1 seeds Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina and Michigan State. Self briefed his team before the seeds
were announced.
"I told them we blew that by not perform
in Kansas City." Self said.
In Big 12 tournament semifinal at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas fell 81-72 to the Baylor Bears. Despite defeating the Bears twice by an average of 16 points this season, the Jayhawks said they were tired. They played without the vigor that usually carries them to victories.
"When we do really guard and rebound, which I think are two key elements of toughness," Self said, "our team takes a whole different dimension."
Kansas' first opponent, the Detroit Titans, started the season 9-11, but finished 13-2 en route to a Horizon League tournament championship. The Titans feature five double-digit scors and are led by Ray McCallum Jr., the son of coach Ray
McCallum Sr.
McCallum Ir., who was recruited by Self before he joined his father's team, averages 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
"Ray is good enough to play for anybody, anywhere," Self said. "Certainly whoever guards him, Elijah or Tyshawn, will have a big challenge ahead of him."
The brackets are set. The teams are ready. And no matter the seeds, it's on. It's time for March Madness.

"If we prepare like we want to win and we're kind of like an underdog," Taylor said, "I think it's going to be hard to beat us."

Defense hinders McCallum, Jayhawks advance
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — The pre-game talks heading into Kansas and Detroit's second round matchup in the CenturyLink Center consisted largely of a high school All-American and a dunking YouTube sensation.
And that was just the 15 seed.
Sophomore guard Ray McCallum passed over big-name programs like Kansas and UCLA to stay home and play for his dad at Detroit. He was a First-Team All-Horizon League selection this season after leading the Titans with 15.6 points per game.
SIMON 1 KANSAS 5
"We knew he was going to be a big factor," senior Tyshawn Taylor said. "We knew he was going to be aggressive offensively, it was going to take a team effort to slow him down."
That team effort held McCallum to just eight points on 4-for-15 shooting. It was his lowest scoring game in nearly a month and it did the Titans no favors as they struggled offensively all night, finishing with just 50 points.
Taylor guarded McCallum for much of the first half and junior guard Elijah Johnson said Taylor "got in his head early."
Junior center Jeff Withey denies Detroit's Chase Simon from scoring with a block during the second half NCAA Tournament game at the CenturyLink Center.
The Titans were still able to score early on, however, and led Kansas 23-21 with under five minutes to play in the first half after Doug Anderson—whom Thomas Robinson called a walking highlight—threw down a monstrous dunk to give the Titans the lead.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
The Jayhawks clamped down from then on, going on a 34-7 run that stifled any hopes of a third No.2 seed bowing out of the tournament on Friday.
Taylor credited the Kansas big men for hedging on screens and not allowing McCallum and others good looks at the basket on the perimeter.
Junior center Jeff Withey had five blocks on the night, matching a personal best since recording nine blocks on Feb. 13 against Kansas State.
Johnson said he likes the way the Kansas guards play defense on the perimeter, especially with a safety net waiting in the paint.
"If you do get lucky and get past us," Johnson said. "You've still got to avoid a seven-foot-one person that was an All-American in volleyball that's ready to swat something out of there."
"People don't get excited about watching people play defense," Johnson said. "but the good teams are the ones that play defense."
The solid defensive performance carried Kansas on to the round of 32 on a night when Taylor played just 23 minutes because of cramps. The lajhawks failed to surpass 65 points for the first time in over a month.

NCAA TOURNAMENT: KANSAS 63, PURDUE 60
MARCH 18,2012
Jayhawks escape Purdue, advance to Sweet 16
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — On March 15, the first day that coach Bill Self and his Jayhawks were in this town, Self had a philosophy.
He added it up like this: He knows that most teams don't play their best in six straight games. He knows that in 2008, the Jayhawks would have never won a championship if they didn't swipe a game from Davidson. He knows something like that Davidson game happens for most teams that make runs in March. So he shared his philosophy.
"The teams that won the national championships," he said, "stole one when they were bad."
And then on March 18 there was the Purdue Boilermakers game, one that Self at times didn't think his team would win but still did, 63-60.
This was a game that solidified the philosophy.
"This was certainly our one," Self said
With the victory, the Jayhawks advance to the Sweet 16 in St. Louis; a trip they know almost never happened because of Purdue forward Robbie Hummel.
As junior forward Thomas Robinson so eloquently put it: "He don't miss."
In the first half, it was pretty much true. Hummel hit seven of eight shots to score 22 points before the break. On one play, with the shot-clock nearing nil, pressure from junior guard Elijah Johnson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor forced Hummel away from the perimeter. Still, about five feet from the three-point line, Hummel drained the shot.
"I felt like he was throwing a rock in the ocean," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
So in the second half, the layhawks trotted out a smaller lineup and a diamond-and-two zone defense, organized to swarm Hummel with defenders and dare other Boilermakers to beat them. The scheme worked, holding Hummel to four second-half points and Purdue to 24 points total.
But the Jayhawks also nearly missed out on a trip to St. Louis because they just couldn't score. While Hummel kept throwing rocks into the ocean, the Jayhawks missed their first six shots and 15 of their first 17.
Robinson, who missed 10 of his 12 shot attempts, said that the Boilermakers succeeded by challenging him with more than just double and triple teams.
"Four, five, six, seven," he said. "They'd have threw their bench at me if they could have."
While Taylor finished with just 10 points and Robinson with only 11, Johnson relieved his points-hungry team with 18 points, a key rebound and alley-oop assist to Taylor and a go-ahead steal and layup with 23 seconds to play.
"Man, Eliiah's a big-time player," Robinson said. "One of the biggest I've seen."
"I love my big man and I love my point guard," Johnson said. "I don't want them to feel like everything is on them."
A Taylor dunk with three seconds left added cushion, especially considering that a buzzer-beating heave by Boilermakers guard Rywne Smith clanked off the backbow and nearly dropped in the hoop.
But it didn't and the layhawks, led by Johnson, followed Self's script. They may have stolen one this time around.
"Stuff like that is stuff that you got to face to win a championship," Robinson said. "Coach said that it was going to be an ugly game and that's the ugliest I've seen."

MIKE VERNON
ST. LOUIS — Peppered with blue, red and green, Washington Street in the core of downtown St. Louis served as the unofficial home to the Midwest Regional of the NCAA Tournament.
During the weekend, fans from Kansas, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Ohio could be found walking up and down Washington, a street that runs parallel to the Edward Jones Dome. The street is full of food, bars and hotels, making it the perfect scene to fuel the NCAA Tournament.
Co-workers Kyle Dolinski and Mitch Miller, two layhawks fan from Kansas City , were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant
atmosphere that St. Louis provided for the event, and they had a surprising weekend themselves.
When they woke up Friday morning, neither Dolinski nor Miller planned on heading to St. Louis until the middle of the work day.
"We were sitting there, and he was like, 'You want to go?' Miller said. "And I was like, I'm game if you want to go. So we were just like, 'Alright, let's go.'"
The two left for St. Louis around 4 p.m. Friday. Neither had a ticket for the game, but that didn't matter; it was an event they were not going to miss.
They found a parking garage approximately 10 minutes before tip off and ran to the stadium. Luckily, the North Carolina-Ohio game went into overtime, pushing the start of the
Kansas game back quite a bit. Luck also found Dolinski and Miller when they found a ticket scaler with only two tickets left.
"It couldn't have worked out more smoothly" Miller said.
And with yesterday's game against North Carolina featuring a match up against former Kansas coach of 15 years Roy Williams, Kansas fans everywhere were eager to voice their opinion on the former Jayhawks' commander before the game.
While some still had sour feelings toward Williams for leaving Kansas, others had started to forgive the coach who left Lawrence nine years ago.
This includes Kansas fan Derek Feagans from Kansas City, Mo. Feagans was a shooting guard for Avila University in Kansas City, and
his history in college athletics gave him a more tolerant perspective toward Williams.
"He's North Carolina's coach," Feagans said. "All I care about is Bill Self and Kansas. Williams is a great coach at a great program. Coaches move on. He went home and that's great. I'm glad we have coach Self."
While Feagans was quick to answer questions on Williams, his seven-year-old son Will didn't say a word until he was asked who his favorite player was.
"Elijah Johnson," Will said.
Will wouldn't say why, but his dad, the former shooting guard himself, was quick to answer for him.
"Because he's a shooter," Feagans said.

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.
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 Jay-hawks' 4-3.

Kansas survives NC State scare in Sweet 16
KORY CARPENTER

ST. LOUIS — Purdue's unconventional lineup was sent home and Kansas players and coach Bill Self almost seemed relieved to be meeting up with a more traditional three-guard, two big-men team like North Carolina State in the Sweet 16 in the Edward Jones Dome.
Junior center Jeff Withey showed why most everyone associated with the Jayhawks welcomed that return to normalcy.
"He really changed the game," North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfred said after the 60-57 Kansas victory.
Withey had eight points and five rebounds on the night, but his shot blocking stole the show. His 10 blocked shots tied a school record, matching Cole Aldrich's performance against Dayton in the 2009 NCAA tournament.
Senior guard Conner Teahan said Withey's blocks must be "demoralizing" for an opponent.
"I was just in the zone," Withey said. "After the first block I just got in a rhythm and kind of knew they were just going to keep on attacking."
Attack they did, opening up a 9-1 lead on the Jayhawks that forced Self to call a quick timeout. Withe already had three blocks by then, though, and unbeknownst to most, was laying the foundation for the cause of bad shots later on by the Wolfback.
"His length really bothered us," Gottfried said. "It affected how we shot the ball around the basket. It seemed like we were always trying to make a tough shot."
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor called this
the best defensive team he's been a part of and Withey's 10 blocks, which sett a new single-season Kansas record with 126, couldn't have come at a better time for the Jayhawks, who struggled mightily on the offensive end of the floor. They shot just 37.5 percent and were 1-14 from three-point range.
"It bails us out of games," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "Especially like this, we were down 14-3 I think and without Jeff in there blocking those shots, the score could have been a little bit worse."
The layhawks eventually took an 18-17 lead thanks in part to three more blocks by Withey, but they trailed by one at the break.
They opened up an eight point lead midway through the second half but North Carolina State battled back in the final minutes and cut the lead to one with a minute to play.
Wolfpack sophomore forward C.J. Leslie drove to the hoop with a chance to take the lead with under thirty seconds to go, but his shot attempt became the victim of Withey's 10th block.
Taylor grabbed the rebound, which wasn't a foregone conclusion on a night where Kansas gave up 21 offensive rebounds.
Self noted multiple second-half possessions where Withey affected the Wolfpack offense even though they had three or more looks at the basket each trip.
"And if he didn't block it, he altered it seemed like every one of them." Self said of those possessions. "I thought he stepped up and played extremely well."

ST. LOUIS — Travis Releford dribbling the final seconds away before chucking the ball upward and into sweet expiration. Tyshawn Taylor, glossy eyed, twisting gnarled pieces of net around the edges of his brand new hat. Bill Self standing atop the ladder, snipping a slice of the net, only to toss it to the hardwood and grab the chunk of what was left. Child-like glee emitting from all seven feet of Jeff Withey. Heavy, wholesome embraces for all wearing crimson and blue. The Final Four in New Orleans—book Kansas a ticket.
"It's always more fun to do something when nobody really thinks you can do it," Self said.
Did you think these Jayhawks could do it?
Did you think these jayhawks could do it?
This is the same team that was supposed to be rebuilding. No Morris twins, no Tyrel Reed, no Brady Morningstar. Didn't matter.
This version of the Jayhawks, one of shallow depth but impenetrable toughness, slugged their way through Detroit and Purdue in Omaha, Neb., then North Carolina State and North Carolina in St. Louis.
"This is every kid's dream right here," junior guard Travis Releford said.
Now they're one of four teams still dancing, still hunting for a national title.
Three other teams remain: late-surging Louisville, freakishly-skilled Kentucky and the next opponent, heavyweight Ohio State. But Kansas would have never joined these teams if not for its clampdown on the North Carolina Tar Heels. The 80-67 final score at the Edward Jones Dome hardly hints at what took place.
In the first half, it was simply two of the nation's finest teams scoring nonstop. Speed and flair ruled just as the Tar Heels like it. They made 63.6 percent of their shots, while the Jayhawks made 56.3 percent. The score was tied at 47 going into halftime and Self knew something had to change.
"I really figured that if it was a horse contest wed have no shot" Self said. "At some point in time during the game, it had to become a grind-it-out, defensive game."
After the break, Self switched his team into a triangle-and-two zone defense; a funky little scheme that rattled Kansas State in the regular season and Purdue in the round of 32. This time around, the formation messed with North Carolina's traditional style of two
posts by the basket and shooters surrounding them. Self figured that freshman guard Stilman White wasn't going to beat anyone with his jump shot. So the junk defense kept two Jayhawks in the paint, then dared White, sophomore forward Harrison Barnes and sophomore guard Reggie Bullock to shoot freely.
In the second half, White missed all three of his shots. Barnes missed seven of eight. Bullock missed all three of his three-pointers. The Tar Heels scored just 20 points on 22.6 percent shooting, the lowest field goal percentage against Kansas in a half in NCAA tournament history.
"That triangle-and-two is coming in handy for us," senior guard Conner Teahan said.
said it was, without question, the biggest shot of the game.
As the Jayhawks confounded the Tar Heels' offense, they scored just enough to break away. Leading 68-67, junior guard Elijah Johnson knocked down a three-point shot that unofficially called it a night. Self
"He took that shot with no conscience, with a little smirk on his face like he knew it was going in." Taylor said.
Unlike the vast majority of games this season, everyone chipped in against North Carolina. Junior forward Thomas Robinson, all toughness, had 18 points and nine rebounds. Junior center Jeff Withey had 15 points, eight rebounds and three timely blocks. But senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who had struggled so mightily in the tournament before Sunday, truly gave the Jayhawks enough in the end.
Taylor had his typical bozo plays. Some passes and shots forced Self to do nothing but cover his face with his hands and shake his head in disbelief. Yet when Taylor was on, when he did all he could to make plays and did so cautiously, he was the best player on the floor. He finished with 22 points, six
rebounds, five assists and five steals. He also might have just rewritten his once somewhat shoddy legacy at Kansas.
"If you can look at the body of work that I've put in my four years, I don't understand how you can't love me." Taylor said. "I've made a lot of mistakes, but I feel like that's just part of a young kid being in college and growing up"
Who else, other than Self, could explain the improbable?
"You've got guys going from playing seven minutes a game to a national player of the year candidate," Self said of Robinson. "You've got guys that basically have been as criticized a player as there's been at KU since I've been there, and now everybody's saying he may be the best point guard that's played there in a long time," he said of Taylor.
"It's amazing to me how much these guys have gotten better. I take pride in that."

Kansas shines bright where Bourbon Street's lights shine brightest
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS — There's no question this is a business week for the Kansas basketball team, but even the Final Four couldn't keep the layahays away from exploring New Orleans and having a bit of fun.
Normally when fun and New Orleans land in the same sentence, that means one thing: Bourbon Street. Shortly after Kansas landed in New Orleans on Wednesday, the Athletics Department let the team learn what the city is all about.
"Last night we went to Bourbon Street," Travis Releford said "We had dinner, they gave us time to walk around, but that was
it. That's probably the most fun we're going to have while we're here until we start playing."
Releford said the experience was a daunting one, and rightfully so. The epicenter of fun in New Orleans begins right on Bourbon Street, where neon signs light the sky for a series of "fun-filled" blocks.
While it may be considered a distraction for the team to get away from their normal routine of hotels, gyms and domes, this was not. This is the first small reward these players can get for all of their hard work.
gives us all of their hard work.
Most college students, including the basketball team, have heard rumors about what Bourbon Street is really like from reputation alone, so instead of wondering, the team got
a small glimpse of the famous street.
They now know the people watching doesn't get any better as a number of different characters call the notorious strip home. They know those people are either stumbling back from a long night out, that there are tourists taking in the scene, or locals just trying to pass through.
They also know just how much attention they're going to be getting for the rest of the year, even outside of the Kansas City and Lawrence area.
"We couldn't walk two or three feet without taking a picture or anything like that." Releford said.
It reinforced the belief that what Kansas is doing this weekend is bigger than just basketball and for more than just themselves.
kerson and for more than just themselves. It was a smart move by the Athletics Department to let the team have a moment of fun. To let the team get that curiosity out of their minds. While there's no doubt that Kansas came to New Orleans focused and ready to play, the trip to Bourbon Street let the team unwind a little before getting down to business.

Panic breaks out in rush for student tickets
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
NEW ORLEANS — As thousands of students lined up waiting for tickets in a parking garage adjacent to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, a "Let's go Jayhawks" chant bounced through the garage. Right on cue, Louisville, Kentucky and Ohio State fans drowned out the chant with boos. But that was the calm part of March 31.
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.
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.
Two Louisville students, senior Pat Hoagland and sophomore Grant McKenzie, said everything was orderly when they first arrived at the garage. But the relaxed nature of the line, quickly changed.
"We got here at 12:30 a.m. last night, and there was no one here," Hoagland and McKenzie said. "As soon as we all got back outside, it was literally 2,800 students, running in one direction and then the other direction. It was like running of the bulls with drunk college students."
Another Lousiville fan, who wished to remain anonymous, captured a video of a confrontation he had with a security guard for Festival and Event Staffing and Security Services Inc., or FESS, that turned ugly. The student recorded the video once the students were let back in the garage.
"I'm going to kick your fucking ass," the guard said.
Once they were let back inside, the students from opposing schools began to chant in unison, in haste of the security team and NCAA, who turned the students' morning into a nightmare.
The NCAA did hand out water bottles to every student lined up, which helped ease the students' frustration.
Hoagland and McKenzie said they also saw a girl with a black eye and that someone they know who attends Louisville got his forehead split open.
Two students, who made the drive from Lawrence, Kan., to New Orleans, junior Tanga Fastoski and senior Aaron Pearson, found themselves in the middle of the confusion.
Pearson lost his shoe while he was running in and had to turn around and face the crowd of hurried students. He retracted his steps and said he was being hit like a series of dominoes.
"It was crazy. It was horrible," Fastouski said.
The NCAA released a statement on Saturday's incident, saying that approximately 500 students crossed barricades and entered the garage without proper authorization around 12.30 a.m. The NCAA said students were instructed by their respective schools to arrive at the garage at 10 a.m.
But the system was on a first-come, first-serve basis, and students showed up early to get the best seats possible.
the statement said the NCAA adjusted their process to accommodate the students at 7 a.m.
"While they were being removed in an orderly manner, some students rushed back into the garage and remained there against the orders of security staff," the statement said.
The NCAA is reviewing the incident and taking measures with increased security for Monday night's game to ensure the safety of the students.
The scene reminded Kansas students of the camping scene for the first Ohio State game in Lawrence on Dec. 10, 2011, when an ambulance was called to Allen Fieldhouse to help a girl who had passed out after waiting in line for nearly three hours in frigid temperatures.
"It was camping to a new extreme." Fastoustki said of Saturday's incident.

NCAA TOURNAMENT: KANSAS 64, OHIO STATE 62
Jayhawks roll on in this season's style

Junior forward Thomas Robinson competes with Ohio State's Jared Sullinger for a rebounds during the second half of the semifinal win over the Buckeyes, 64-62.
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 Jayhawks 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.
"Isn't that weird?" senior guard Tyshawn
Twelor 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 1 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 happening."
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 quicksand," 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 lajayhaws 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.
"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."
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.
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 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
50
situations. Craft made the first free throw, but was called for a lane violation on the second attempt.
From there, the layhawks simply had to inbound the ball. They did and it was finally over. Now the layhawks, 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.
"It can't be scripted any better," Robinson said. "We're right back where we started."

Withey rejects Buckeyes, sends Jayhawks to title game
kcarpenter@kansan.com
IKORY CARPENTER
Most fans would be wrong.
NEW ORLEANS - If asked which player broke a Final Four blocked shots record in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, most fans 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 Jayhawk Danny Manning's previous record of six from 1988. Withey was dominant early and often, swatting three Jarred Sullinger shots less than three minutes into the game.
While the Sullinger and Thomas Robinson showdown received most of the hype leading up, Withey was the one guarding Sullinger, not Robinson. Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas' ability to thrive on the perimeter made him no matchup for Withey, so any hopes of slowing down Sullinger rested firmly on the seven-footer's 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.
He walked off the court with just 13 points on 5-of-19 shooting.
"He was just playing hard," Sullinger said of Withey. "Seemed like he stepped up his defensive intensity."
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 Baylor on March 9.
As aggressive as Withey has been, he's been able to stay out out of foul trouble most of the season. He's picked up four fouls just once since Feb. 8. Withey credits his volleyball background which gives him the 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 against the Buckeyes, more 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.
Self and everyone else will see that statement put to the test against Kentucky.
"Anthony Davis is the best shot blocker in the country." Self said. "But I think Jeff is probably second best."

Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior forward Kevin Young consolidate junior forward Thomas Robinson after teh Jahwakks fell to the Kentucky Wildcats in teh NCAA Championship, 67-59.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
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.
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.
"You make it to the national championship," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said, "and it still feels like you lose in the first round."
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 down 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.
"No one could tell us that we were going to lose except for the scoreboard," he said.
"If they were going to beat us, they were going to remember us," Johnson said. "They were going to feel the last of us."
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 its 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.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's hands, the magnets of fate, catch comeback teases with quick dribble drives, then eluded victory with five turnovers, one that was in the final minute of the game.
"I can't get this back," Taylor said. "That was my last time putting on a Kansas jersey."
52
It seems that junior forward Thomas Robinson, through that the tragedies and familial support from loving fans, has also played his last game as a lajhyawk.
Now all that's left is time to reflect. Coach
Self, take it away.
"From start to finish, there's 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."

Jayhawks struggle against Wildcats
kcarpenter@kansan.com
KORY CARPENTER
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.
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.
It wouldn't happen, though, thanks in part to an offense that struggled mightily all night.
"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.
"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.
Junior forward Thomas 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."
FINAL FOUR
Even with all the disadvantages offensively, Johnson said they never thought about staying away from the paint and shooting more outside shots. Coach Bill Sel'd 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.
That late run gave the Jayhawks a glimmer of hope, but a Tyshawn Taylor errant pass and traveling violation from Johnson — caused by Davis — sealed the deal.
"Nobody in America can simulate length like that," Self said. "It's hard to score over length, but that's who we are."
They locked in for those last four minutes." Johnson said. "They deserved it."
COMMENTARY
This season's memories will last a lifetime
N
EW 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 said this season would be a process. He said to enjoy the ride.Easier 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-zearous fans questioned if Kansas was even going to make the NCAA tournament. We will always remember how Kansas' season went from the gutter to the throne after that ugly, ugly game.
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.
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
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 smuck down and a 13 point come-from-behind victory against Ohio State.
Storming Massachusetts Street will be remembered, as Lawrence was bliss, strangers were hugged and friends were embraced.
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 miracle run that never was.
Yes, it's been a basketball season that every single one of us will remember for the rest of our lives.
And that's what led Angel Morris to grab Jeannell Taylor.

Tulsa introduces Manning as head coach
KANSAS

Assistant Coach Danny Manning yells out to one of the players during a timeout.
LANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The University of Tulsa introduced former Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning as the program's 29th head coach on April 4.
Manning first served as an assistant coach under Bill Self in 2007, and he will return to the school 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.
sight to leave himself.
"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 no-brainer," 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.
Manning's history and pedigree as a player made him a popular target for coaching jobs around the country, but Tulsa was ultimately the right fit. Since taking over a coaching role in 2007, Manning has coached five eventual 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."
Wojcik left Tulsa as the program's winningest coach with a 140-92 record, but he
never took the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA Tournament in seven seasons at the helm. Manning would like to see that streak end right away.
"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.
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 head coach couldn't be happier for his long-time protégé.
"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 Tulsa competing for championships in a very short time. I personally think it will be a great marriage for both parties."

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.
On a day when the University honored one of its football program's most significant figures, former coach Don Fambrough, it embarked on 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.
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.

2012 basketball team had distinct, winning flavor
During the 2011-12 college basketball season, the Kansas men's basketball team reinvented the art of winning.
In one of the most memorable postseason runs in Kansas history, coach Bill 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 3-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.
By Sam Kovzan editor@kansan.com
Given the circumstances facing the 2012 Jayhawks — poor depth, limited experience and 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 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 laj Hawks scored 73.5 points per game (+11.8 scoring margin), averaged 67 offensive possessions per
game and shot 47 percent from the field.
game and slot 47 percent from the field. Robinson was the only first round NBA draft pick on a team that had zero McDonald's All-Americans.
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.
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.
These numbers pale in comparison to those generated by the previous three Final Four teams. The Roy Williams-coached 2002 squad, which 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.
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.

Junior forward Thomas Robinson answers questions about his decision to declare for the NBA Draft
Thomas Robinson declares for NBA Draft
MIKE VERNON
mvenron@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
asone, 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.
Current Tulaa coach and former Kansas assistant Danny Manning even stood in the back of the room as Robinson made his announcement. Manning worked with him for the past three years, helping Robinson become a likely top five draft pick.
DraftExpress.com currently has Robinson as the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, and nbdaraft.net has Robinson slated second. Even with the high projections, Robinson gave a pitch to NBA teams who may be interested in him.
may be interested in,
"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.
"That's something that my mother would want me to get." Robinson said.
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."

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Lawrence Police Department obtained more than 400 pounds of drugs during the fourth annual National Drug Take-Back Day Saturday. Pharmaceutical drugs, that is.
The Drug Enforcement Administration coordinates with counties across the United States to ensure that unwanted prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs are safely destroyed. Unwanted drugs are sent to an Environmental Protection Agency-certified facility, where they are incinerated.
According to a news release from the City of Lawrence, people do not end up using up to 40 percent of their prescription drugs every year, which equals about 1.5 billion unused doses of medication per year. The release said that participating in Drug Take-Back Day can decrease the number of accidental overdoses, poisonings and abuse.
"It's a great and worthwhile program because a lot of people dispose of their medications inappropriately, which can be harmful to
not only other people, but to the environment because a lot of people flusli their medication down the toilet," KU Communications Coordinator Mai Hester said.
The local police department offered two drug take-back collection sites, located at 4820 Bob Billings Parkway and 1100 Massachusetts Street. Altogether, the sites collected 401.5 pounds of unwanted tablets, capsules and liquid medicinal products.
KU's Student Health Services and the School of Pharmacy also teamed up for their second year of participating in the event. Two locations were set up on campus last Wednesday; there was one outside of Wescoe and another in the parking lot of Watkins Memorial Health Center. The amount of collected drugs will be announced later this week.
The City of Lawrence Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Facility accepts unwanted drugs year-round with an appointment.

There's an expression that sex sells. Well, it also tweets.
In the beginning, proponents of the trend said the focus was on generating school spirit and eventually promoting breast cancer awaeness. The trend is beginning to fizzle now that the basketball team's run is over, but those involved seem optimistic for the upcoming year.
About a month ago the KU Booobs Twitter account made its way on computer screens and Jayhawk fans shared pictures of their chests in their Kansas t-shirts. The Twitter account took off as #kuboobs became a popular trend during the men's basketball team's tournament run. The Twitter account gained more than 6,200 followers and eventually took its trend to Facebook.
said he does a lot of promoting with the Truman Medical Centers in Kansas City and he hopes to use KU Boobs to bring attention to the importance of breast cancer screenings in Lawrence.
"I want to do something here in Lawrence," Soap said. "I have a lot experience promoting different events."
Milton Wendland, visiting assistant professor in the Women's Studies department, said he isn't surprised the trend took off.
"The use of women's bodies to promote team spirit is nothing
Patrick Loftus, a freshman from Oakley, said he first saw a link to the account on www.totalfratmove.com, a satirical network that focuses on fraternity culture.
Loftus said that if someone wanted to use it for breast cancer awareness they should change the name so people have a better idea of what it is about.
"I thought it was a joke." Loftus said.

Wendland said as social media takes off, it's becoming more common to see people of all ages engaging in public displays.
Soap said he's seen imitators like the Twitter account @rov-

Soap said he expected the trend to pick up again in the fall when the football season kicks off. Soap said October would be a good month
to revamp the trend because it's also Breast Cancer Awareness month.

University launches new campaign to increase endowment
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
KU Endowment hopes to raise 1.2 billion by June 2016. "Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas," the new University fundraising campaign, relies on the $612 million already donated to KU Endowment since July 2008. The funds will support scholarships, academic programs, faculty recruitment and facilities at the Lawrence and Medical Center campuses.
"A campaign rallies the University community and our alumni around a central cause," said Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president for communications and marketing for KU Endowment. "It presents a cohesive case in front of our donors."
Eliza de McCoy pointed to studies showing contributions from donors
The press release said that students are already benefitting from the donations. According to the release, 246 new scholarships have been created along with 14 new professorships, which retain

Almost all scholarships come from private donors through KU Endowment, Elizalde-McCoy said.
"In a typical year, 6,500 students a year receive some sort of financial aid through the endowment office," she said. "We've had donors establish scholarships in every field this year at KU."

GOP looks to keep supporters stirred during lull
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It is four months until the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., in late August. Democrats hold their convention a week later in Charlotte, N.C.
WASHINGTON — The long, grueling GOP primary race is over. Now comes a summertime lull the candidates could find just as difficult — not because the schedule is crowded but because it isn't.
That's a long time to fill, with no votes that matter, no debates to draw national attention. Voters tend to hibernate politically from the end of the primary season to the start of the conventions.
That lull should be a bigger problem for Republican challenger Mitt Romney than for Democratic President Barack Obama. A challenger must keep stirring up enthusiasm if he hopes to oust an incumbent president.
Romney has to figure out how to make news as he raises money and rallies supporters. He'll also be busy fleshing out a national organization and wooing disaffected conservatives — at the same time he's courting independents and other voting blocs where polls show he trails Obama, such as among women, Hispanics and young voters.
He'll pick a running mate at some point, and that's sure to ignite a burst of attention.
But it's not always entirely positive — as Republican John McCain found in 2008 with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin or as George H.W. Bush learned in 1988 after he picked Indiana Sen. Dan Quayle. So Romney may tread carefully in making his choice.
Obama, meanwhile, gets a lot of free coverage just from being president and doing things presidents do both domestically and internationally.
"The challenge is a tough one, especially for the non-incumbent," says longtime Republican consultant Ed Rogers. "There's a news hole to fill every day that's bigger than ever. So you've got to feed that. And if you don't, then you're vulnerable to being picked apart with gaffes becoming stories, becoming metaphors that become the narrative of your campaign."
Furthermore, for Romney "this is a vulnerable period where he's coming out of the primaries kind of scuffed up and doesn't have a general-election infrastructure yet." Rogers said.
But some worries lurk for Obama, too. The economic recovery remains fragile. If it gets stronger, that would clearly help Obama. But the reverse is also true. If the economy worsens, it could hurt the president's chances.
And with the suspense gone from the GOP race, attention recently has shifted to scandals at the General
Services Administration and the Secret Service, both more likely to hurt Obama than Romney.
The Obama campaign has shifted into overdrive to try to redefine Romney before he has a chance to better define himself.
The White House and Obama's Chicago-based re-election campaign have been moving away from echoing earlier GOP criticism that Romney lacked a core set of beliefs. Now, they're trying to make sure neither Romney nor the public forgets things he said to win over conservatives, including declaring in a speech that he was "severely conservative."
Romney is now the all-butcertain Republican nominee after his five-state sweep last Tuesday, and he has stepped up coordination with the Republican National Committee.
Newt Gingrich plans to suspend his campaign this week, leaving Texas Rep. Ron Paul the lone remaining Republican challenger to Romney. But Paul has few convention delegates.
Twenty-four more primaries and state conventions are scheduled through July 14, including delegate-rich contests in Texas on May 29, and in California and New Jersey on June 5. But they're basically cleanup exercises for Romney, who is now fewer than 300 delegates from the 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. He

A motorcycle carrying explosives and being driven by a suicidal bomber was meant to hit police commissioner Mamman Sule. Sule was heading to his office in a convoy.
Suicide bomber on motorcycle kills 10
JALINGO, Nigeria — A motorcycle-riding suicide bomber drove into a cowboy carrying a top police officer in northeast Nigeria on Monday, detonating his explosives and killing at least 10 people, rescue officials said.
The attack targeted police commissioner Mamman Sule who was being driven in a convoy toward his offices, near the governor's office in lalingo, the capital of Taraba state, said police spokesman Ibaiang Mbaseki. The bomber missed injuring Sule, but the explosives caused massive damage at a roadside market and blew out the glass windows of the nearby state Ministry of Finance building, witnesses said.
The commissioner "was the prime target," Mbaseki said.
Rescue officials collected 11 corpses after the attack, which left 26 injured, according to a report by the Nigerian Red Cross. The dead included
the suicide bomber, the Red Cross report said.
Speaking to journalists after the attack, Sule said officers would immediately begin an investigation into the attack. He also said only three people died, though police and the military routinely offer lower casualty numbers to make attacks appear less serious than what they are.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. It comes after gunmen attacked Christian worship services Sunday at a university campus and a church in northern Nigeria, killing at least 21 people.
Sunday's attacks mirrored others carried out by a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram. Representatives of Boko Haram, who typically speak to journalists at times of their choosing in telephone conference calls, could not immediately be reached for comment.
AFRICA
Kony not receiving government backing
KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan officials are renewing a claim made with some frequency over the years. That rebel leader Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army are receiving backing from the government of Sudan.
Ugandan forces commander Gen. Aronda Nyakairima said Monday he found credible a recent report from a captured LRA fighter saying that Kony was recently in the southern region of Sudan.
Col. Felix Kulyayig, the military's spokesman, said some of the LRA rebels captured by the Ugandan military wore "new uniforms" supplied by Sudan, though Nyakairima said military officials have not found LRA fighters with weapons supplied by Sudan.
President Barack Obama sent 100 U.S. forces into Central Africa last year to help regional militaries track Kony, and an online campaign this year by the advocacy group Invisible Children made Kony a YouTube sensation.
Abdulla Ali Masar, Sudan's information minister, denied his government has ever supported the LRA.
"We have no relationship, whatsoever, with this Ugandan rebel and we have not supported and are not supporting him now," Masar said. He said Kony "is nearer to South Sudan than to us, and in any case, we have no reason to support him. We rely on our own forces and we do not need anybody to support us in defending our country and ourselves."

Capsized ferry leaves 35 dead,165 missing
GAUHATI, India — A packed ferry boat capsized in heavy winds and rain in remote northeastern India late Monday, leaving at least 35 people dead and 165 others feared missing, police said.
Assam state police chief J.N. Choudhury said the boat was carrying about 350 passengers and broke into two pieces. About 150 people who were traveling on the top level were rescued or swam to safety, he said.
Details were sketchy because bad weather and the remoteness of the area hammered communication.
Choudhury said the accident occurred on the Brahmutra river near Fakriagram in west Dhubri district. The area is about 350 kilometers (215 miles) west of the state capital, Gauhati, and close to where the river enters Bangladesh. He said officials in that country had been contacted for help.
The area is dotted with riverside settlements and small islands, and boats are the most common mode of transport. Most ferries are overcrowded, with little regard for safety regulations.
Strong winds and rain likely caused the accident, Choudhury said. Police and paramilitary soldiers were sent to help local villagers with rescue efforts, he said.

Yacht demolished after collision, three sailors killed and a fourth missing
ENSENADA, Mexico — A 37-foot racing yacht was reduced to debris that looked "like it had gone through a blender," a searcher said Sunday after the boat apparently collided with a larger vessel, killing three sailors and leaving a fourth missing.
The U.S. Coast Guard, the Mexican navy and civilian vessels scoured the waters off the shore of both countries for the missing sailor before suspending their search Sunday evening.
The crew of tour sailors was aboard the Aegean, which was reported missing Saturday during a 124-mile race from Newport Beach, Calif., to Ensenada, Mexico.
It was California's second deadly accident this month involving an ocean race.
Race officials said they had few explanations for what may have happened to the Aegean other than it must have collided with a ship like a freighter or tanker that did not see the smaller vessel.
If the smaller boat was bobbing around in light wind, the crew might not have been able to get out of the way of a larger ship, said Rich Roberts, a spokesman for the Newport Ocean Sailing Association, the race organizer.
The Coast Guard said conditions were fine for sailing, with good visibility and moderate ocean swells of 6-to-8 feet.

MUSIC
It's catchy and upbeat and has a chorus that's instantly memorable. It's one of those songs that sticks with you long after you first hear it. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Justin Bieber got behind it early and introduced it to millions of his Beliebers.
Fan videos help pop song top the charts
NEW YORK — Carly Rae Jepsen's adorable pop song "Call Me Maybe" (Schoolboy/Interscope) would probably have found an audience the old-fashioned way.
What's unusual, though, about the song's rocket ride up the charts — currently No. 8 and already certified platinum after only two months of
availability in America --- is the role fan-generated videos have played in its success.
Her official video for the song just passed the gofy version from Bieber, girlfriend Selena Gomez and famous pals Ashley Tisdale and Big Time Rush's Carlos Pena, — who posted it on his YouTube channel — with both videos netting more than 35 million views. The Bieber video, which gets the song in front of his core audience by showing a slice of his life, established it as something fun and, more important, cool to like.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The nine young women of Girls' Generation sauntered onto the performance stage of "Late Show With David Letterman." Flanked by a DJ and live drummer, the South Korean pop group wore lacy black mini-dresses and thigh-high leather boots, as if they were hosting a goth cocktail party. It was a rare American network television performance from a South Korean music group.
Group parodies pop culture in America
"As soon as I heard that wed be performing there, I ran screaming and crying up and down our house," said Girls' Generation's Diamond Bar, Calif.-raised, Korean-American singer Tiffany. "The other members were just like, 'Huh?'
The song they performed on the January show, a slinky bit of minor-key dance-pop called "The Boys," owed an obvious debt to Kelis' catechalling hit "Milkshake." The band's gently lascivious choreography underscored the track's sex-appeal boasts; lead singer Kim Taeyeon made come-hither hand gestures while her bandmates pulled PG-13 versions of Lady Gaga's alien body bends. The song was in English, but the message was clear in any language. This was something new yet uncannily familiar on the American pop scene.
Girl's Generation is arguably the biggest name in an effervescent, operatic Korean pop music culture that quietly has won a fervent fan base of young Korean Americans and plenty of non-Koreans as well. K-pop artists pull from techno, hip-hop, R&B and top-40; singles are often focused vehicles for elaborate music videos and rarely less than bonkies good fun. Traditional Korean culture can be patriarchal, but K-pop's most famous acts, whose members often have roots in California, are groups of women deploying butt-kicking superhero imagery.

Poised at the intersection of
The song, written by the South Korean duo E-Tribe, used double-time electronic drums, fluorescent synthesizers and a cute-cloying repetition of the song's title. It's so insistent and poppy, it's almost avant-garde.
For years, Korean pop lived in the shadow of Japan's hyperkinetic music and fashion scene, whose anime culture stormed American television. But in 2009, one single instantly transformed the country's role in the Asian pop landscape. Girls' Generation's "Gee" was the K-pop equivalent of Elvis walking into Sun Studios: It drew the blueprint for a culture to come.
two countries' fast-moving pop cultures and cutting-edge media technology, the sprawling genre collouquially known as K-pop has operated outside the American pop limelight. But that's changing. A-list producers like will.i.a, Diplo and Kanye West are lining up to work with South Korean artists like 2NE1, GD&TOP and IYI.
K-pop comes alongside tide of Korean filmmaking and culinary interest turning heads in L.A. and in the U.S. As K-pop makes its first big moves into America this year with English-language tracks on U.S. major labels, a big question is this — does this music, at the vanguard of global pop, even need mainstream America at all?
"It's just really good pop music. It's very hooky and fast and just doesn't sound like Western pop," said James Brooks of electronica band Elite Gymnastics, who wrote an essay on K-pop for the influential music website Pitchfork.
The track stormed Asia — the official version of the video where the nine girls dance around a clothing store clocking in at just more than 70 million plays on YouTube. The song topped South Korean pop charts for two months and made Girls' Generation the first non-Japanese Asian girl group to top Japan's singles charts.
FILM
Avengers' expected to top box office sales
LOS ANGELES — "The Avengers" is set to dominate the domestic box office next weekend with a massive opening of more than $150 million, but overseas, the film's ticket sales are already soaring.
The movie, which was produced by Disney's Marvel Entertainment for about $220 million, brings together a cavalcade of beloved comic-book heroes played by A-listers such as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner.
The superhero action flick debuted in 39 foreign countries last week and has since risen in a phenomenal $178.4 million, according to an estimate from distributor Walt Disney Studios. By comparison, Universal Pictures' "Battleship" passed the $170 million mark overseas this weekend after three weeks in international release.

Compromise is key to restoring US
POLITICS
All boobs are beautiful.
America is on the decline." You hear that a lot these
days. We're being compared to the British Empire or Rome just prior to its collapse. Some argue that we cannot compete with China's centrally controlled economic machine. Others contend that we've become complacent since our rise to super power status after WWII and let our game deteriorate. Some even say that the very core of our system, the notion that any person can achieve success here regardless of the circumstances of their birth, has itself rotted away. I reject these views and am here instead to argue that America can still be great in the 21st Century.
First, I want to talk about what is wrong with the current state of our country and what must change going forward. Our current political climate is toxic and counterproductive. Despite what they'll tell you, neither party is without blame here. The most salient example of the complete dysfunction going on in Washington was the debt ceiling debate last fall. Neither side was willing to put political maneuvering aside and do what was right for the country. The result? The first debt downgrade
in the history of our country and a blow to the world's confidence in our economy. Even worse, the debacle raised questions about the very validity of a democratic system of governance. No political party "won" that showdown.
By Greg Loving
gloving@kansan.com
When we can't look to our leaders with confidence, we become divided and disengaged. People don't want to talk about politics anymore, not because they're too dumb to get it or too apathetic, but because the political climate has become so poisonous that such conversations inevitably end up offending somebody. The system has been taken over by radicals on each side who preach that compromise is not an option. Compounding this, cable news networks have replaced their journalistic integrity with a quest for ratings that has them catering to viewers with specific political beliefs. If you're a Republican, you can watch Fox News and hear what you want to hear. If you're a Democrat, MSNBC will reaffirm your beliefs. This type of environment prevents the open and honest conversations needed to address the problems we face, problems that must be addressed as US citizens, not along party lines. As a result,
a great many people have lost faith in their government and have understandably removed themselves from the discussion in order to focus on other, more constructive aspects of their lives.
There are many issues beyond the dysfunctional state of our political system that need to be addressed in order to return the country to a productive path. Changes must be made to entitlements, the tax code, spending etc.; the list is all too long. But the fact of the matter is, we already know how to fix those things. The fixes aren't being implemented because of juvenile infighting going on in Washington DC. Fix that and everything can be fixed. We deserve better than this and as voting citizens, we have the right and means to get something better.
This brings me to what is right
with our country and how we can use it to restore Washington to something we can be proud of. You are right with America. You chose to attend KU to educate yourself, to learn about the world and form your own opinions. And There are many, many others like you across the country and while they may not all be attending college, they all share your fundamental desire to continually make themselves better through their unique pursuits. You all fee' that deep down, regardless of where you come from, you can do anything in this country. You all understand that this belief is what made the American system work so well—it's not like that everywhere in the world. So now its time for you to demand that politics don't impede that system.
It's time to reject the "team" nature of politics, the notion that you're either red or blue and have to adopt all of that side's ideas and candidates in order to be on their team. Change the channel or radio dial when you aren't hearing both sides of an issue. If media companies want to play the ratings game that's fine, but they'll be forced to
THIS IS HOW WE FIX IT:
change what they broadcast if you refuse to listen to bias and misinformation. Engage others in conversation about the issues you think matter and most importantly, listen to what they have to say and never insult them for their beliefs. You'll quickly find that compromise is usually the best answer and should be what democracy is all about.
The end of the year is a busy time, but a break is coming quickly. Hopefully that time can be used to think about these ideas. Don't get me wrong. I know that not everybody is interested in politics, and they don't have to be. That's why our system allows us to choose people who will be interested for us. But I do know that the majority I spoke of earlier, what's right with our country, expects to continue to live in a place where anything is possible. Elections are how we send messages to our leaders, let's use 2012 prove that our system works and that America can still be great in the 21st Century.

IMMIGRATION
Are Americans overlooking foreign contributions?
As Americans, we pride ourselves on quite a bit. We're the greatest, the strongest, the most free, a superpower, a world leader, what have you. And when it comes to technology, at least, the United States has a proud tradition of innovation and entrepreneurship. Look no further than big names like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg, whose products enrich our lives and set high standards for our competition.
By Danielle Onions
But if you look a little closer than All-Americans like Steve, Bill, and Mark, you'll notice something. Do Pierre Omidyar, Sergey Brin, and Jerry Yang sound familiar? Maybe not. How about eBay, Google, or Yahoo, the companies each of these immigrants helped four'
Those who are fervently "anti-immigrant" are likely blissfully ignorant of the contributions foreign-born researchers, developers, and scientists have made in the United States. After all, it is hard to argue with facts, especially those that reveal that immigrant-founded companies based in the U.S. employ over 400,000 Americans and generate billions in revenue each year. And I don't hear "anti-immigrant" protestors complaining about the pharmaceuticals, computer systems, and hundreds of other products
created through the work of immigrants who are listed as contributors on over 25% of U.S. global patent applications
People should worry about immigration, but the concern shouldn't be over who we let into this country; it should be over who we are keeping out.
It may surprise you that in the U.S., over half of the doctorates awarded in mathematics, computer sciences, physics, and economics are earned by students from another country. That number increases to over 60% in engineering. The United States doesn't have a problem with attracting students to American universities. But after we educate them, our abysmal visa system sends the vast majority of them home to their countries of origin where they create products and services that compete with those in America. Where is the sense in that?
When 64% of Indian students and 68% of Chinese
students educated in the U.S. hope to start a business within the next decade, we should be capitalizing on the chance to jumpstart the economy and put Americans to work. We should be finding ways to increase visas for entrepreneurs and innovators, removing barriers to access, and creating environments that welcome the best talent in the world, regardless of origin.
And we better do it soon. While Congress drags its feet through another election year and the public continues to think of immigration as a fourletter word, our competition in the international race for talent is rolling out the welcome mat for the highly-skilled immigrants we are chasing away. While the UK, Canada, Russia, Chile, Brazil, and Singapore reform their systems in order to attract the next Zuckerburg or Omidyar, the U.S. should remember that pride is a dangerous thing. With an immigrant tradition as strong as America's, we would do well to return to our roots in order to defend our status as the land of opportunity.

ADVICE
Living minimally: why less is more in today's world
This past weekend I sat down to watch the second half of the Matrix Revolutions to get my dose of Keanu Reeves. I have Direct TV and a DVR that I use to record movies and shows but unfortunately this movie in particular was on live and I had no choice but to sit through the commercials. At first I was impatient and annoyed at the commercials, but eventually I started to enjoy the commercials as a part of the movie experience. It built anticipation and whenever I saw Keanu doing Ju-jitsu, it was all the sweeter.
"It's often said that our country is materialistic and is always looking for more whether it's technology or clothing or food. Is there an objective way of determining if this is valid?"
There is almost nothing we enjoy that isn't temporary, fleeting, or not always available. A good example is the commercials that made it exciting for me when the movie came back on. In Behavioral Analysis, this is referred to as deprivation. Deprivation is one of the main principles of reinforcement and the level of deprivation influences how hard we will work to get the reinforcer. A simple example is if you haven't eaten all day and it is 3 p.m., you are probably more likely to put forth more effort to get food than if you were stuffed and didn't want anything to eat. Similarly, because I was deprived of watching Keanu give cheesy one-liners during commercials, I was reinforced more when the movie came back on.
Psychology can also support the notion that less is more. Shawn Anchor is the CEO of a company called Good Think Inc. and he teaches about an upcoming trend called Positive Psychology. In his TED talk, Anchor discusses how, as individuals, we constantly heighten our goals when achieved and we focus on the next hurdle instead
of staying in the present. He says that this approach bleeds through management styles, parenting styles, and our general culture in America. His research seems to support our countries notion that we want more, more, and more.
Entrepreneur Graham Hill, the founder of treehugger.com and lifeedited.com also gave a TED talk about how we waste space, money, and hurt the environment with our attachment to material goods. According to Hill we have three times more space for our stuff than we did fifty years ago but have significantly less room as illustrated by the rise in the 22 billion dollar storage industry. Why is this a problem? He cites credit card debt, environmental impact, and a whole lot of stress that goes with owning so much. Lifeedited.org is his website where he gives advice, help, and links to create an apartment where one multi-purpose room can become 24 different rooms. Over time it saves money, stress, space, and helps the environment.
So how do we know that less is more isn't just grandma telling us to save our pennies? I'd argue that we know because people from different social science fields, entrepreneurs, and other individuals are creating independent, yet valid arguments for why less is more. Various proponents focus on quantifiable evidence, experimental evidence, observational evidence, etc. At some point though we just have to look at all the extraneous stuff we have and ask as Graham Hill does, "Is that really going to make me happier? Truly?"

Judge blocks funds to Texas Planned Parenthood
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge on Monday stopped Texas from preventing Planned Parenthood from getting funds through the state's Women's Health Program — a decision the state immediately appealed.
U. S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin ruled there is sufficient evidence that a law banning Planned Parenthood from the program is unconstitutional. He imposed an injunction against enforcing it until he can hear full arguments. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott appealed Yeakel's decision to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking that it remove the injunction.
Mary Green, Peg Armstrong and Jan Perrault hold up signs during Women's Health Express, a bus event held in San Antonio, Texas on March 6, 2012, to protest the attempt to cut Planned Parenthood out of the state's Women's Health Plan. Federal Judge Lee Yeakel ruled Monday there is sufficient evidence a law banning Planned Parenthood from participating in the Texas' Women's Health Program in unconstitutional and stopped the state from banning the organization from receiving state funds.
The law passed last year by the Republican-controlled Legislature forbids state agencies from providing funds to an organization affiliated with abortion providers. Texas law already required that groups receiving federal or state funding be legally and financially separate from clinics that perform abortions.

state health programs The judge accepted Planned Parenthood's argument that banning the organization from the program would leave women without access to clinics for basic health services and check-ups.
Eight Planned Parenthood clinics that do not provide abortions sued over the new law. The clinics say it unconstitutionally restricts their freedom of speech and association to qualify to take part in state health programs.
"The court is particularly influenced by the potential for immediate loss of access to necessary medical services by several thousand Texas women." Yeakel wrote in his ruling. "The record before the court at this juncture reflects uncertainty as to the continued

viability of the Texas Women's Health Program."
Texas officials have said that if the state is forced to include Planned Parenthood, they will likely shut down the program that serves basic health care and contraception to 130,000 poor women. Yeakel acknowledged that was a risk.
"It's a tremendous relief that someone is looking out for women," Gonzalez said Monday, referring to the judge's decision. "It makes me upset that these are men, for the most part, who are making decisions affecting our reproductive health and that they would try to shame us."
"The court observes that if the federal funds are phased out, Texas does not provide another source of funds, and the Women's Health Program terminates, the controversy now before the court may be of no consequence," he wrote.
The Women's Health Program was established to provide care for poor women who would not otherwise qualify for Medicaid. It supplies cancer screenings, annual exams, and access to birth control.
Xelena Gonzalez of San Antonio said she received abnormal test results and needed a follow-up appointment just before the state law took effect in March, and her area Planned Parenthood clinic lost funding. She said she couldn't afford the lab fees and other costs of going to another provider. She said she is thrilled she can return to Planned Parenthood to follow up.
"Texas has a long history of protecting life, and we are confident in Attorney General Abbott's appeal to defend the will of Texans and our state law, which prohibits taxpayer funds from supporting abortion providers and affiliates in the Women's Health Program," Frazier said.
Catherine Frazier, spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, said the state will pursue all legal options to keep the law.
Patricio Gonzales, CEO of Planned Parenthood Association of Hidalgo County, called on the Republican governor to stop trying to shut down Planned Parenthood in Texas.
"No woman should ever have to fear being cut off from her doctor's
care because of shortsighted political games," Gonzales said.
The court's decision comes after the federal government cut off funding to Texas because of the state regulation excluding affiliates of abortion providers. Federal officials said the rule violates federal law by restricting women from choosing the qualified medical provider of their choice.
Perry promised to make up for
the lost federal funds. State health officials say maintaining the program was cheaper than allowing it to expire, because ending the program would result in a spike in unplanned pregnancies among poor women who rely on Medicaid, which is also funded by the state.
before conducting an abortion. That injunction was overturned by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit and the law allowed to stand.
Planned Parenthood won a similar injunction earlier this year against the state's new requirement that doctors perform a sonogram
No matter what the appeal court decides, Yeakel's decision is temporary. A final decision will come after he presides over a full trial. Whatever decision he reaches will likely be appealed.

Expansion of Air Force training area won't damage environment
DENVER — The Air Force says the proposed expansion of a flight training area in eastern Colorado and western Kansas would have no significant environmental impacts.
A draft environmental assessment was released Monday. A 30-day period for public comment on starts Tuesday.
The current training area is about 2,500 square miles. It includes Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Kit Carson counties in Colorado and Greeley, Logan, Scott, Wallace and Wichita counties in Kansas.
The size of the proposed expansion wasn't immediately available. The draft environmental statement lists requirements from about 3,900 to 5,600 square miles for different types of training.
The training area is used by F-16s from the Colorado Air National Guard at Buckley Air Force Base and by refueling tankers from the Kansas Air National Guard at Forbes Field in Topeka.

The infant is going through drug withdrawal and is being treated with the same narcotic prescribed for her mother to fight addiction to powerful prescription painkillers.
Disturbing new research says the number of U.S. babies born with signs of opiate drug withdrawal has tripled in a decade because of a surge in pregnant women's use of legal and illegal narcotics, including Vicodin, OxyContin and heroin, researchers say. It is the first national study of the problem.
The number of newborns with withdrawal symptoms increased from a little more than one per 1,000 babies sent home from the hospital in 2000 to more than three per 1,000 in 2009, the study found. More than 13,000 U.S. infants were affected in 2009, the researchers estimated.
The newborns include babies like Savannah, whose mother stopped
abusing painkillers and switched to prescription methadone early in pregnancy, and those whose mothers are still abusing legal or illegal drugs.
Weaning infants from these drugs can take weeks or months and often requires a lengthy stay in intensive care units. Hospital charges for treating these newborns soared from $190 million to $720 million between 2000 and 2009, the study found.
The study was released online Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Savannah is hooked up to heart and oxygen monitors in an Oak Lawn, Ill., newborn intensive care unit. In a pink crib, she sleeps fitfully, sometimes cries all night, and has had diarrhea and trouble feeding — typical signs of withdrawal. Some affected babies also have breathing problems, low birth weights and seizures.
"It's really hard, every day, emotionally and physically," said Aileen Dannelley, 25. "It's really hard when your daughter is born addicted."
Doctors say newborns aren't really addicted, but their bodies are
ependent on methadone or other opiates because of their mothers' use during pregnancy. Small methadone doses to wean them off these drugs is safer than cutting them off altogether, which can cause dangerous seizures and even death, said Dr. Mark Brown, chief of pediatrics at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.
BASILA
Newborn drug withdrawal is rampant in Maine, Florida, West Virginia, parts of the Midwest and other sections of the country.
Dr. Stephen Patrick, the lead author of the study and a newborn specialist at the University of Michigan health system in Ann Arbor, called the problem a "public health epidemic" that demands attention from policymakers, as well as from researchers to clarify what long-term problems these infants may face.

University of Maine scientist Marie Hayes said her research suggests some affected infants suffer developmental delays in early childhood, but whether those problems persist is uncertain.
It's the 21st century version of what was known as the "crack baby"

epidemic of the 1980s. Some experts say that epidemic was overblown and that infants born to mothers using crack cocaine face no serious long-term health problems.
Some think the current problem is being overblown, too. Carl Hart, an assistant psychiatry professor at Columbia University and a substance abuse researcher at the New York Psychiatric Institute, noted that only a tiny portion of the estimated four million U.S. infants born each year are affected.
Hart also said the study probably includes women who weren't abusing drugs during pregnancy, but were taking prescribed painkillers for legitimate reasons. He said
Doctors pushing powerful painkillers "like candy" contribute to the problem, said Arturo Valdez, who runs the Chicago substance abuse program that Aileen Dannellee attends. Patients at his West Side clinic include men and women who are prescribed opiate painkillers for legitimate reasons, such as car accident injuries, and find them-
fight their addiction.
"It's really hard, every day, emotionally and physically. It's really hard when your daughter is born addicted."
AILEEN DANNELEY Mother to a baby born with addiction
he worries that the study will unfairly stigmatize pregnant women who are "doing the right thing" by taking methadone to
selves addicted when the prescriptions runs out. Some turn to street drugs, which can be cheaper and easier to obtain. Valdez said.
In some states, mothers of newborns with drug withdrawal are arrested and jailed, but Valdez said addiction is a brain disease that should be treated like other illnesses, not stigmatized.
Aileen Dannelley said she
started abusing drugs after an adult neighbor introduced her to crack when she was 14. She said she would "never have touched it" if she had known how addictive drugs can be.
She said she has abused Vicodin, which a doctor gave her to treat back pain from sitting all day at an office job, as well as other prescription painkillers and heroin.
Dannelle was still abusing drugs early in her pregnancy but decided in December to quit, vowing: "I'm not going to go back to that lifestyle. There's a baby inside me."
Now she is trying to get her life back on track. Estranged from her husband, she is living with her parents and just signed up for nursing classes at a local junior college. She visits Savannah every day. The baby has been in the hospital since she was born in early April, and her mother hopes to take her home soon.
"I am doing so good for the first time in my life." Dannelle said.

Crowded ferry boat in India capsizes and kills 41 people
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAUHATI, India — An overcrowded ferry boat capsized in heavy winds and rain in remote northeastern India late Monday, killing at least 41 people and leaving at least 150 others missing, police said.
Divers and rescue workers with rubber rafts scoured the Brahmaputra River early Tuesday in the search for survivors amid the floating debris, which was all that remained of the ferry. The boat was packed with around 350 people.
A passenger, Hasnat Ali, told local television that about 200 people were packed inside the boat along with cargo, and that he and around 150 others were riding on the roof when a storm hit as the ferry was heading to the shore to dock. The boat was
tossed about and many of those on the roof were thrown off and managed to swim to shore before the ferry was dashed to pieces, he said.
He managed to cling to a log and was later rescued by local villagers, he said.
Assam state police chief J.N. Choudhury said the people traveling on the top level were saved.
But 41 bodies have been found and rescuers are searching for at least 150 people who are missing, police said.
Choudhury said the accident occurred near Fakiragram in west Dhubri district, about 350 kilometers (215 miles) west of the state capital, Gauhati, and close to where the river enters Bangladesh. He said officials in that country had been contacted for help.
The area is dotted with riverside settlements and small islands, and boats are the most common mode of transport. Most ferries are overcrowded, with little regard for safety regulations.
Strong winds and rain likely caused the accident, Choudhury said. Police and paramilitary soldiers were sent to help local villagers with rescue efforts, he said.
Mohan Lal, a senior officer with the Border Security Force, said 35 troops were at the accident site on boats and were using hand-held searchlights. He said a team of federal rescue workers was also on its way.
Lal said troops had located the upturned and broken pieces of the boat but were unable to lift them without a crane.

'Crocodile Dundee' star resolves battle with Australian tax authorities
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYDNEY — "Crocodile Dundee" star Paul Hogan has resolved his seven-year battle with Australian tax authorities over alleged unpaid taxes dating back to his first international hit movie in the 1980s.
Hogan and his friend and producer John Cornell said through
their lawyer, Andrew Robinson, on Monday that the pair had reached a settlement with tax authorities to resolve more than 150 million Australian dollars ($156 million) in alleged unpaid taxes and penalties.
Tax officials barred the Australian actor from returning to his Los Angeles home for two weeks over the matter in 2010
when he returned to Sydney for his mother's funeral. Hogan's lawyers eventually secured a deal that allowed him to leave Australia.
The 72-year-old comedic actor became an international star with the 1986 movie "Crocodile Dundee."

Occupy activists might slow May Day commutes with protests
While protesters are backing away from a call to block San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, bridge district ferry workers said they'll strike Tuesday morning to shut down ferry service, which brings commuters from Marin County to the city. Ferry workers have been in contract negotiations for a year and have been working without a contract since July 2011 in a dispute over health care coverage, the Inlandboatmen's Union said.
A coalition of bridge and bus workers said they will honor the picket line, which may target an area near the bridge's toll plaza. Occupy activists from San Francisco and Oakland are expected to join the rally.
SAN FRANCISCO — May Day protests may disrupt the morning commute in major U.S. cities Tuesday as labor, immigration and Occupy activists rally support on the international workers' holiday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Demonstrations, strikes and acts of civil disobedience are being planned around the country, including the most visible organizing effort by anti-Wall Street groups since Occupy encampments came down in the fall.
"We ask supporters to stand with us at strike picket lines on May Day and to keep the bridge open," said Alex Tonisson, an organizer and co-chair of the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition.
Police say they are working with other area law enforcement agencies and have a plan in place for
potential disruptions. They would not discuss specifics.
Across the bay in Oakland, where police and Occupy protesters have often clashed, officers are preparing for a long day as hundreds of "General Strike" signs have sprouted across town.
In New York City, where the first Occupy camp was set up and where large protests brought some of the earliest attention - and mass arrests - to the movement, leaders plan a variety of events, including picketing, a march through Manhattan and other "creative disruptions against the corporations who rule our city"
Organizers have called for protesters to block one or more bridges or tunnels connecting Manhattan, the city's economic engine, to New Jersey and other parts of the city.
The Occupy movement began in September with a small camp in a
lower Manhattan plaza that quickly grew to include hundreds of protesters using the tent city as their home base. More than 700 people were arrested Oct. 1 as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge.
Elsewhere on the West Coast, Occupy Seattle has called for people to rally at a park near downtown Tuesday. Mayor Mike McGinn has warned residents there could be traffic delays and has said city officials have evidence — including graffiti and posters — that some groups plan to "commit violence, damage property and disrupt peaceful free speech activity."
The city broke the camp up in November, citing sanitary and other concerns, but the movement has held smaller events and protests periodically since then.
In Los Angeles, demonstrators are planning to take to the streets to champion immigrant rights.

COMMENTARY
Leaving the KU family
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
I remember the first time I stepped foot in Lawrence: Feb. 16, 2008. Man, it was cold, but it was the visit that changed my life. For a kid coming from Atlanta, the notion of attending the University of Kansas isn't just rare, it is absolutely unheard of. With almost all my friends going to schools in the Southeast like Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Auburn, I was the one who ventured over to the Midwest.
I'm sure most out-of-state students share this experience, but when someone asks us where we go to school, and we proudly tell them "Kansas," some variation of the same response always ensues:
"Oh, really. Why'd you choose Kansas?"
I want to roll my eyes every time I hear that question, and I cringe as a "Wizard of Ox" reference often serves as a complement to the inquiry. But at the same time, I love to answer that question:
Why did I choose Kansas?
Most college students across the country love their school, but they don't know what they're missing here. For me, it only took a few minutes on campus to know that Kansas was where I wanted to be.
Despite an enrollment of around 27,000 students, the University of Kansas is as much of a family as it is a university.
When Thomas Robinson tragically lost his mother and grandparents in a four-week span, the entire KU community rallied around Robinson and his sister, Jayla. Even with the loss and heartbreak Kansas let Robinson know that he was not alone.
The phrase "Family Over Everything" embodies the basketball program, but there are no three better words to describe this University. It only takes watching one game at Allen Fieldhouse to see how much the students and alumni care about their school.
When Robinson's eardrum-rattling block against Missouri sent Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy, it didn't matter whether we knew the people around us or not. Everyone hugged as if they'd known each other their whole lives.
Kansas extends beyond athletics and winning and losing. It is a home.
As I walk on Jayhawk Boulevard each day and gaze at the Memorial Campanile, I know I made the right choice.
Being a laj Hawk is much more than a school mascot. It's a part of every student's identity here at Kansas and something that I will always cherish.
As I finish my last column for The University Daily Kansan, I grow excited for the next stage in my life. But, at the same time, I'm grateful for the last four years.
"Oh, really. Why'd you choose Kansas?"
I know I'll get the question again, and when I do, I will simply respond:
"It's the only place I'd ever want to go to school."

STOPPING THE TREND
With Taylor on the mound, the team hopes to improve its away record
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team (17-27, 4-13 Big 12), begins a week with no conference games, starting with a one-game visit to Arkansas-Little Rock this afternoon.
The Jayhawks lost two weekend games against Oklahoma, but Sunday's series finale was cancelled due to rain.
The normal Sunday starter, junior pitcher Thomas Taylor (4-5, 4.08 ERA), will start today against the Trojans. Despite not pitching in mid-week games, Taylor's approach will stay the same
"Mymindset doesn't change at all," Taylor said. "It's still a baseball game, and just because it isn't necessarily a Big 12 game, you still have to go out there."
"I actually think he's been throwing the ball really well and that's one of the reasons why we are going to start him," Price said. "We want to keep him with the same routine and have that same rhythm, so we don't have him go a whole week without throwing."
The Kansas offense took a blow amid the news that senior third baseman Zac Elgie will miss two weeks with a broken finger on his catching hand. Elgie injured his finger sliding into third base Friday night.
"I actually think he's been throwing the ball really well and that's one of the reasons why we are going to start him."
Despite losing a senior player, Price said he is optimistic Elgie will be back before the regular season ends.
The Jayhawks have struggled in road games throughout the season and will need a strong performance from Taylor to stop the trend. Coach Ritch Price said he gave Taylor the starting position because of Taylor's recent improvement.
and compete to put the team in a position to win."

"If he could play through the pain, and if the swelling is gone, he could possibly be back in time for the Missouri series", Price said. "We lost Zac at the
worst possible time in the season, so it's devastating timing for him to be out as hot as he's been."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
After surgery Davis rehabilitates knee
RYAN MCCARTHY amccarthy@kansan.com
On Feb. 12, junior forward Carolyn Davis went up for what appeared to be a routine jumper just outside the lane at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan. It's a play Davis has shot a thousand times in practice and in games.
As she planted her left side, her knee buckled causing her to collapse onto the court.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich whipped her face around and put both hands on her head. It's something that happened to her twice before.
Davis lay motionless for more than 10 minutes; team doctors
and coaches surrounded her as she sat on the hardwood floor.
"When you hear the scream you know what it is," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
In Henrickson's time at Kansas, there have been six anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, but the team is also doing everything in their power to prevent
Femur
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
Tibia
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
these injuries, whether it's the training staff, orthopedic surgeons or the players themselves.
With surgery now passed, Davis is focused on recovery so she can have as strong of a senior season as possible. Davis has begun the process by participating in exercises with the team while also attempting to get as much movement possible back in her knee.
Having so multiple ACL tears on the women's basketball team allows Davis to rely on the expertise of not only the trainers and physicians on hand in the Kansas athletic department, but also her teammates.
Her roommate and close friend Goodrich tore the ligament twice while at Kansas. Sophomore forward Tania Jackson tore hers in high school and missed time as a Jayhawk.
"It kind of helped that I've been around a few of them," Davis said. "So I kind of knew what to expect in a way. I think what helped me was there were so many people around me that weren't going to allow me to isolate myself."
There's plenty of evidence that shows why women are more susceptible to ACL injuries than men.
According to an article published in American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) by Dr. Timothy E. Hewett in November 2010, women are two to 10 times more likely to sustain a knee ligament injury, such as an ACL injury, than male athletes participating in the same sports.
Dr. Hewett went onto say that most ACL injuries—whether in male or female athletes—occur by noncontact mechanisms, often during landing from a jump or making a lateral pivot while running.
There are several factors to go into why women are more susceptible to these injuries.
WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY
Dr. Larry McGee, the Kansas head team physician, and Dr. Douglass Stull and Dr. Jeff Randall, orthopedic surgeons at OrthoKansas on 1112 West 6th St, have all worked with ACL patients for the Jayhawks and provide similar theories on the issue.
- General muscle strength of males over females, in particular in their quadriceps and hamstrings.
- Some of the factors include the following;
- The female's anatomy is different from males, wider pelvises, creating different position for the knee, which results in valgus Knee. Women also tend to have a narrower notch in the knee where the ACL is placed.
- Another theory that Dr. McGee, Stull and Randall talked about, but has not been proven, hormonal differences with women and if the menstrual cycle has any factor. According to the doctors there are estrogen receptors on the ACL, which makes for increased laxatives during the menstrual cycle.
- They all concluded that there's not an exact answer for

THE MORNING BREW Women's basketball like Sleeping Beauty
When the Kansas women's basketball team returned home from the NCAA
tournament, I sat down with Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger to talk about the progress of the program and the success of the team under the guidance of coach Bonnie Henrickson. After all, this was the team's first conference appearance since 2000.
By Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
He compared the season to a fairy tale, and as the Kansan's lead women's basketball reporter for two years, I felt like that was appropriate.
In retrospect, I would compare this season to Sleeping Beauty with a dash of Aishah Sutherland's "California cool" added in.
The team started the year with high expectations, but was surrounded with the pressure of previous seasons in which they did not live up to the hype. But despite the critics, the team breezed through non-conference play, finishing 13-1.
Still, the shadow of inconsistent conference play and season-ending injuries lingered overhead.
In the start of conference play, the Iav Hawks were victorious across the
Henrickson guided them past these challenges,working to protect her team and lead it to the tournament.
Big 12 kingdom with three-straight road wins and a 4-1 record. Suddenly, they were ranked second in the conference and their season looked bright.
But Kansas hit a snag when it lost three consecutive games to the ranked trio: Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
However, they then returned home and picked up a win against Texas to complete their first season sweep.
After their victory, though, they traveled to Manhattan where the dark shadows were looming. This is where the team pricked its finger on the spindle and fell under the spell. Darkness fell over the Jayhawks' season as their captain and veteran forward Carolyn Davis suffered a season-ending knee injury.
The Jayhawks seemed lost. Kansas dropped five of the next
six games, and its tournament hopes seemed dormant.
But junior guard Angel Goodrich gave them the kiss that revived their post-season dreams. Their final conference game was at Oklahoma, and it appeared to be a must-win for the jayhawks. Goodrich valiantly led her troops, and they all returned to Lawrence victorious.
Things seemed to be looking up yet again when Kansas received a first round bye and a sixth seed in the Big 12 Tournament. But, when the draw came out, they were matched against the defending national champion, the Texas A&M Aggies. They lost the game and faced four long days before the selection show.
That night, they gathered in the castle - also known as Allen Fieldhouse - for a meal with family and friends as they awaited their post-season, NCAA fate.
After it was announced that Kansas would be making a tournament appearance, the room erupted in cheers. Finally, the Jayhawks had vanquished the foe that kept them out of the tournament for more than a decade.
KU
At the banquet, Henrickson said that they should have known they would be dancing. They started the
season with summer training in Italy where they danced while waiting for boats and buses. They did "The Wobble" at Late Night with a hesistant coach. The season started smoothly and kept getting more exciting. When Davis was injured, the team wobbled, but they never fell. One long month later, they were dancing again.
The season was not perfect by any means, but it ended happily. Davis is recovering, and Goodrich will return. Henrickson will safely rule in her throne as queen with the team surrounding her. Their storybook may have closed on this season, but the Jayhawks are praticing, preparing for even greater adventures to come.

Baylor holds lead, Aggies barely ahead of UT

MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
1. BAYLOR BEARS (38-8, 18-0)
The Bears are good. They're super good. They've played 18 Big 12 games and won them all. They've already clinched at least a share of the conference crown. They've simply out hit, pitched and out classed all of their opponents.
BAYLOR BEARS
2. TEXAS A&M AGGIES (31-13, 11-7)
ATM
The Aggies sit third in the conference standings, one game behind the Texas Longhorns. Why are tin the two spot then? Because they just took their weekend series from the Longhorns, winning two of three. Unfortunately, with only six conference games left, there is no way they can win the Big 12 regular season title.
3. TEXAS LONGHORNS (25-16, 12-6)
One who dominates the Big 12, but here they are any way, sitting second in the conference standings in a down year. There is still a faint glimmer of hope for the Longhorns in the conference race. They must win their last six conference games, and Baylor must lose its last six. The two teams face off the last weekend of the season.
T
4. OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (26-17, 11-7)
The Cowboys have rattled off six straight conference victories and eight overall. They sit tied with the Aggies for third in the conference. Their next series is with in-state rivals Oklahoma. This series could decide who earns fourth place in the conference. Oklahoma sits just 1.5 games behind the Cowboys.
OKLAHOMA
STATE
UNIVERSITY
5. OKLAHOMA SOONERS (28-16, 9-8)
The Sooners have won five straight in conference play. They swept the Missouri Tigers two weekends ago. The Sooners came to Lawrence over the weekend, and won both games. Sunday's was cancelled due to rain. They close their season with Oklahoma State and Baylor.
O
6. MISSOURI TIGERS (23-19,7-11)
The Tigers have dropped two in a row in conference play. They have the Border Showdown and a series with Texas left in their season. Barring a major collapse, the Tigers will qualify for the conference tournament easily.
TM
7. TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (25-22, 5-13)
The Red Raiders have possibly disappointed the most of any team in the Big 12 this season. They are loaded on offense, hitting .299 as a team, but the pitching allows 4.08 runs a game. They will face off with Texas A&M and Kansas State to end their season. They need to finish strong to insure that they finish eighth or better to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament.
T
8. KANSAS (17-27, 4-13)
The Jayhawks had an opportunity to pad their lead for eighth place over Kansas State against Oklahoma this weekend. Instead, the offense struggled all weekend and lost both games. Kansas only scored three runs in two games. Their series with Kansas State in two weekends will likely decide which team from Kansas will make the conference tournament and which will miss out.
KU
9. KANSAS STATE WILDCATS (19-26,3-15)
The Wildcats have dropped their last 10 conference games. The pitching has constantly let the Wildcats down this season They allow a conference-worst 5.55 runs per game and it's not even close. They allow 1.16 more runs every game than the Kansas Jayhawks, the next highest ERA in the conference.

Guillen criticizes players, says adjustments are imminent
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Ozzie Guillen headed to the airport Monday evening for a six-hour flight — plenty of time to decide how to shake up his slumping team.
The Miami Marlins fell deeper into last place in the NL East with a 9-5 loss Monday afternoon to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Guillen said something needs to change.
It might be the lineup. Guillen criticized his players' failure to change their approach at the plate or on the mound.
"If you cannot make an adjustment, I will make it for you," he said. "I'm going to make a very drastic change. I don't know which one yet, but I'm going to make an adjustment. I'm pretty good at that. That's my job."
The Marlins have lost eight of their past nine games, and the latest defeat was galling because it came against Arizona's Patrick Corbin,
making his major-league debut.
One day after falling behind 8-0,
the Marlins trailed 7-0 by the fifth
inning. Fans booed for the second
game in a row.
"Can you blame them?" Guillen said. "I was booing, too. It's a shame, because we've got a better ballclub than we've showed. The last couple of games, things got out of hand — very lousy baseball, period."
The Marlins, expected to contend for a division title after an offseason spending spree, are 8-14 as they begin a nine-game trip Tuesday in San Francisco.
"We are too good to continue to play the way were playing right now," shortstop Jose Reyes said. "We need to turn it around quickly."
The 22-year-old Corbin, a left-hander called up from Double-A Mobile, struck out six and allowed three runs in 5 2-3 innings. Cody Ransom and Justin Upton hit two-run homers for Arizona, and Willie Bloomquist had a two-run double.
Miami tapped into a 1-2-3 basesloaded double play and committed three errors, including one on a misplayed bunt that led to a five-run inning.
Mark Buehrle (1-4) endured his worst outing this season. Facing Arizona for the first time in his 370 career start, the left-hander lasted only five innings and allowed seven runs — four earned — and eight hits.
"I guess it could get worse," Buehrle said. "We won eight games this month. We could have won none. We've got to keep going at it."
Struggling closer Heath Bell gave up two runs in a non-save situation in the ninth. His ERA rose to 10.80.
"Everybody knows he has struggled," Guillen said. "Everybody knows he has a lot of problems. Make an adjustment, and hopefully it can work."
After the Marlins threatened in the first inning, they didn't manage another hit off Corbin until the
fifth, when John Buck singled and pinch-hitter Donnie Murphy homered.
Miami's Austin Kearns hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
"At least we fought back," Reyes said. "We put some runs on the scoreboard. That's good. But still we lost the game. It's kind of disappointing for us, because we're better than this."
The Marlins fell to 2-6 against left-handers with a batting average of.188.
Thanks to the retractable roof on the Marlins' new ballpark, a rainout may have been averted for a second day in a row. Announced attendance was 31,008, and the afternoon crowd included 12,000 schoolchildren who generated a high-pitched din throughout the game.
There were jeers from the adults in the crowd during Arizona's five-run fourth inning.

AWARDS
Senior athletes honored at K ring ceremony
M093
skruger@kansan.com
Seniors from all University sports attended the Jayhawk Senior Ring presentation at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday, a ceremony to honor student athletes.
Each athlete received a special "K" ring, a gold ring with a red face and marked with a blue "K".
"All of our student athletes strive to represent KU with integrity and honor and always striving to do their best," said David Johnston, director of the K Club and a former University student athlete. "To me, those characteristics are embodied in the K ring."
Athletic director Sheaon Zenger said the current class of senior student athletes is similar to those before them.
"Each class has their own class of champions and All-Americans," Zenger said. "This night is really about all of them."
Allison Mayfield, a volleyball player and track and field athlete, and Tim Biere, a football player, were both awarded the Robert E. Frederick Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year.
"I can't explain what it has meant to me to be here," Mayfield said. "It isn't just about the volleyball or the track; you meet people here. Tonight was a huge honor."
Mayfield left her mark at the University as an outside hitter for the Kansas volleyball team and a high jumper and javelin thrower on the track and field team. She
ended her volleyball career with more season kills, 462, and career attempts, 3,858, than any other player in Kansas volleyball history. Mayfield is also No. 3 on the all-time high jump list and among the top 10 javelin throwers in the Big 12. Biere was a team captain for the Kansas football team and played in all but one game in the 2011 season. He made the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention list, averaging 29.3 receiving yards per game. Biere was also an Academic All-Big 12 First team in 2009 and made both the Big 12 Commissioner's and KU Athletic Director's honor roll every year he was eligible.
"To be a student athlete at KU carries with it a lot of pressure, a lot of responsibility and of course a lot of pride," Johnston, director of the K Club, said. "Tonight was a chance to present them with a symbol of everything they have experienced."
The Del Shankel Teaching Excellence Award was awarded to Mehrangiz Najafizadeh, an associate professor in the sociology department. Najafizadeh said she was speechless after hearing seniors Steven Johnson and Jake Marasco announce she had won.
"I have had wonderful athletes in my classes," Najafizadeh said. "They do so much, but they excel really in both academics and athletics. I am truly honored to be nominated by them and winning it is just really great."

Pacers tie series against Orlando
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Danny Granger and George Hill each added 18 points and Paul George had 17 points and eight rebounds for Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS — David West had 18 points and 11 rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Orlando Magic 93-78 on Monday night and even the Eastern Conference first-round series at one game annie.
Glen Davis led the Magic with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but he shot 5 for 16 from the field. J.J. Redick scored 13 points and Jameer Nelson added 12 for Orlando.
The Pacers were heavy favorites in the series because Dwight Howard, Orlando's All-Star center, is out with a back injury. Indiana lost Game 1 81-77 on Saturday, and the frustrated Pacers fought hard to avoid taking a two-game deficit to Orlando on Wednesday.
Indiana outrebounded Orlando 26-13 in the second half and held the Magic to 36 percent shooting overall. Indiana has held the Magic below 40 percent shooting in both games.
The Pacers won despite making just 2 of 20 3-point attempts and Granger, the team's leading
scorer this season, shooting just 7 for 21 from the field.
Orlando led 44-42 at halftime despite shooting just 32 percent from the field. The Magic stayed in the game with 12 offensive rebounds. Davis had 14 points and eight rebounds in the first half.
Granger's three-point play extended Indiana's lead midway through the quarter, and a 3-pointer by Hill made it 64-55 and forced Orlando to call a timeout. The Pacers outrebounded the Magic 12-1 during their 22-11 run to start the second half.
The Pacers poured it on the rest of the quarter and led 72-57 heading into the fourth. Indiana outscored Orlando 16-2 over the final 6:40 of the quarter and held the Magic to 1-for-8 shooting.
Granger hit a 3-pointer to tie the game early in the third quarter, then Hill made a layup to give the Pacers a 54-52 lead with 7:17 left and bring an uneasy crowd back into the game.
George's stepback jamper on the baseline as the shot clock expired gave Indiana a 78-64 lead with nine minutes to play, and his three-point play two minutes later pushed the lead to 15.

NEW YORK — Alex Ovechkin's power-play goal with 7:27 remaining snapped a tie and gave the Washington Capitals a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers that squared the Eastern Conference seminal series 1-1 on Monday night.
Last minute goal moves semifinals into a tie
Just under six minutes after Ryan Callahan got the Rangers even with a power-play goal, Ovechkin put the Capitals ahead for good after they squandered a 2-0 lead.
NHL
Brad Richards had a goal and assist, and defenseman Michael Del Zotto had two assists for the top-seeded Rangers, who got forward Brian Boyle back from a three-game injury absence but couldn't turn it into a commanding lead in the series.
Mike Knuble and Jason Chimaera scored first-period goals for the Capitals, who will host the next two games of the series. Washington is trying to repeat its first-round feat when it lost the series opener but rallied to beat Boston in seven games. The Capitals have earned four of their five wins in this postseason on the road.

Knicks reach embarrassing post season milestone, may lose Stoudemire to injury
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss.
MIAMI — The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their ceuter right after.
"Let's talk about the game," Woodson said. "Thank you."
Miami-Dade paramedics, who staff every game at the arena, were seen leaving the Knicks locker room after the game. The Knicks said "doctors and paramedics" were working on Stoudemire, who was expected to need stitches.
LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Heat, who lead the Eastern Conference first-round series 2-0.
Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points on 12-for-26 shooting for New York, which got 18 points from Stoudemire and 13 apiece from Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith. The only other team to lose 12 straight playoff games is the Memphis Grizzlies, who dropped their first dozen postseason contests from 2004 through 2006.
Mario Chalmers scored 13 points and Mike Miller and Shane Battier each shot 3 for 5 from 3-point range on their way to 11-point games for the defending East champion Heat, who shot 52 percent.
New York's last postseason win came April 29, 2001. The Knicks get another chance to snap the drought Thursday when they host Game 3.
"Every game we try to find our shooters, get them comfortable in the offense and once they catch them, they can let it fly" James said. "It was concerted effort tonight to get them the ball and move the ball from one side to the other."
Baron Davis, who sat most of the first half and has been batting back issues, finished with 12 points for the Knicks.
Along with the Grizzlies, the
The Heat came into the game saying they expected Anthony to be much more aggressive. They were right.
Anthony opened with an 11-shot quarter — the last time someone took more in the first 12 minutes of a playoff game was May 15, 2006, when Richard Hamilton got 12 shots off for Detroit against Cleveland. Anthony missed all seven of the jumps he took in Game 1 when guarded by James, then got his first one to fall on the game's first possession Monday.
Knicks were one of four teams in NBA history with 11-game post-season losing streaks, according to STATS LLC, joining Denver (1988-94) and the Baltimore Bullets (1965-70).
By halftime, Anthony was up to 21 points on 9-for-18 shooting, the Knicks needing all that and more. Wade, James and Bosh combined for 41 points in the first two quarters, helping Miami take a 53-47 lead.
Chandler, who set a back pick that sent James tumbled late in
Unlike Game 1, it wasn't over by halftime. And play was heated, just not overheated.
Saturday's first half, picked up a technical for taunting early in the second quarter when he went over Miller for a putback dunk and then glared at him for a few moments. A few minutes later, James did a fistpump toward the seats after a layup late in the half.
But whenever Miami was on the cusp of pulling away, New York had answers.
Consecutive baskets by James midway through the third quarter, the second of those good enough for him to merit it worthy of a chest-bump and long look at the Knicks bench, put Miami up 67-56 — then its biggest lead. Four minutes later, the Knicks were within four, a dunk by Chandler making it 72-68 with 1:37 left in the period.
Miami's margin was back to nine after a flurry ended the quarter. James drove right and got just about every Knick to shift with him, leaving Battier all alone for a 3-pointer, and James' three-point play as the shot clock was running down had him laughing and the Heat up 78-69 going into the fourth.
The Knicks never got any closer.

FROM ACLPAGE 1B

why women are more susceptible to men in ACL injuries.
All of these could play a role into ACL injuries, but at the moment there is no clear answer.
Dr. Jeff Randall at OrthoKansas has performed dozens of knee surgeries over his 16 seasons working for Kansas Athletics.
THE SURGEON
Dealing mainly with knee injuries in the Kansas program, Randall been on hand for many of the surgeries the women's basketball team suffered including Davis' on March 27.
Randall is meticulous in his preparation, making sure all the necessary precautions are taken before going into surgery.
"Typically before the surgery I plan the day before," Randall said. "I always see what people are doing. What people need to
think about in the operating in that."
Randall usually relies on an autograph technique during surgery where he takes muscle from the hamstring and then creates a new ACL in the player's knee.
There have been huge strides in the Sports Medicine field, but Randall believes the more awareness and training available, the less prevalent of a problem ACL injuries will become in the near future.
Randall said that the mark is only 2.5 to 3 centimeters wide so most of the time the mark can barely be seen on a players skin.
"The less invasion you're doing going in, the easier it is on the athlete coming out," Randall said.
"I think you can always do more," Randall said. "There's new things every year and there are more people studying it and figuring it out and fine tuning it. I think as much as we've done

more can be done."
THE PERSON ON HAND
After two years training the swimming and diving team, she moved over to the Jayhawks women's basketball team five years ago.
Turner worked with many of the injured players on the Kansas roster including Davis, Goodrich and Jackson on not only their ACL problems, but also any other ailments.
PAGE 58
"Every time I have an injury I go back and re-look at what we do," Turner said. "There's always something to be learned from it."

toll.
Valgus Knee or "knock knee" is a term used to describe what happens to a woman when they suffer a non-contact ACL injury. In Dr. Hewett's findings of his Nov. 10 piece named, "Why women have an increased risk of ACL injury." His results indicated that valgus torque is controlled primarily by hip torque during a two-footed landing, but more by the change in the ground reaction force during single-legged tasks. Altering and enhanced training may increase leg control and decrease hip and knee valgus torques in females.
Turner works with each individual player on what they need to do to come back as close as possible to full strength after an injury.
"She's so positive," Davis said. "Even when I'm having a bad day, she's still positive. She let's me be mad and she just keeps working with me. She wants me to get back from this."
The main thing Turner works on with the players, when they have ACL injuries, is how to jump correctly because of the difference in anatomy between men women.

Turner said herself and strength and conditioning coach Andrea Hudy work together to teach the girls how to jump properly.

MOVING FORWARD
12 weeks have passed since Davis' knee injury, which puts her at about the halfway point to when she can see the court again.
On that February day, Davis left the game carted off on a gurney, with tears streaming down her face. Since then she's been active with the team.
Throughout their NCAA tournament run she was right there with the group. She could be seen often standing underneath the basket, talking talking to every forward about what they needed to do to improve. At some points she even cracked a smile, even though she was missing some of the fun.
"If you tear an ACL and get through it," Davis said. "You can be so much stronger and I think that's what I'm looking forward to being able to be a stronger person afterwards and knowing I'll be a totally different player and a totally different love for the game."
Davis still has a long way to go in the process of recovering, she knows the help and people around her will help her make full recovery for the start of the season in November.

RECOVERY PROCESS
1. After the surgery Dr. Randal instructs patients to be in the immobilizer for two weeks.
2. Then Turner works with the players and switch to a functional brace until the six-week mark, all day, every day. Turner does this so their range of motion gets better and swelling will be removed from the knee. At this time Turner is working on basic strength.
3. At the 12-week mark more Turner tries to get as much strength back into their knee as possible. She also wants to get more strength around the knee, especially with hamstrings and quadriceps. During this period, Turner works on basic running, landing mechanics, real easy jogging, cutting and jumping.
4. The goal for Turner is to have the player ready to go at the 6-month mark so they can participate in full contact drills and be back with the team. Turner also continues to work on landing mechanics and doing some different rotational drills to adapt to the rotational force once again.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens leaves federal court in Washington, Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Clemens' lawyer opened his defense of the former pitching star by telling jurors that evidence purportedly showing Clemens used steroids was manipulated by his former strength coach, Brian McNamee.
Audio and video clips heard in Clemens'trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prosecutors played audio and video clips Monday of Roger Clemens making a host of statements in his congressional deposition that the government will try to establish were lies.
"I haven't done steroids or growth hormone," Clemens' deep, booming voice said on the audiotape of his 2008 congressional deposition.
"Let me be clear: I have never used steroids or HGH", he said in the videotape of the congressional hearing a few days later, referring to human growth hormone.
Clemens, a former pitcher who won seven Cy Young Awards, is accused of lying when he made those denials to Congress.
The snippets of the hearing included the now-famous line from Clemens that his friend and former teammate, Andy Pettitte, "misremembers" a conversation in which, according to Pettitte, Clemens acknowledged using HGH.
There was also an embarrassing exchange from that hearing, when Clemens reiterated his claim that he never had detailed discussions with strength coach Brian McNamee about HGH. A congressman then asks whether Clemens had called McNamee on the
phone after his wife told Clemens she had taken HGH.
Barnett also testified Monday that the committee had considered skipping the hearing and just issuing a report based on the depositions of Clemens and others. Barnett said that he asked Clemens' lawyers if it would be fair to conclude the investigation without a hearing. Later, Barnett said, the lawyers responded that Clemens thought it would be unfair to do so.
"That very much is detailed conversation," Clemens replied in the clip, appearing to say that they had such a discussion.
The former pitcher's perjury trial resumed Monday with the testimony of Phil Barnett, who, as majority staff director for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was the lead questioner at the 2008 deposition. Barnett said the committee invited Clemens to appear because it wanted to determine whether the Mitchell Report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball could be relied upon as accurate.
That report said that Clemens has used steroids and HGH, which the pitcher vehemently denied.
The prosecution also played other audio clips of Clemens from the deposition. The jury heard Clemens say that he was injected with vitamin B12 and the local anesthetic lidocaine by former strength coach McNamee, that he had no idea that Sen. George Mitchell wanted to speak with him for a report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, and that he never attended a party at former player Jose Canseco's house.
That could be an issue in the trial, because Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin has questioned whether his client was really
testifying voluntarily. Hardin has argued that Clemens knew he'd be subpoenaed if he had refused the committee's invitation.
Clemens arrived in court wearing a blue short-sleeve dress shirt, red tie, and dark pinstripe suit. He was approached by a man, pulling one of the wheeled suitcases common among lawyers at the courthouse, who said "Good luck," and shook his hand.
All of those claims are listed as false statements in the indictment against Clemens.
"Thank you buddy," Clemens replied.
"Go Yankees," the man said as he walked away.

Missiles to be fired from roofs for opening ceremony

The Ministry of Defence warned residents that surface-to-air missiles could be stationed on their rooftops during the London Olympics, Sunday, April 29.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Some London residents are getting troops and surface-to-air missiles on their rooftops for the Summer Olympics.
British security officials identified potential sites for the missiles on Monday and announced plans for security tests during the week.
The potential sites include Lexington Building in Tower Hamlets, the Fred Wigg Tower in Waltham Forest, Blackheath Common, Oxleas Wood, the William Girling Reservoir and Barn Hill in Epping Forest.
News of one of the sites leaked out over the weekend when a journalist who lives in one of the buildings found a flyer notifying residents of the plan.
Around 700 people living a Whelan's building in Bow about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from London's Olympic Stadium have been contacted and warned that the weapons and about 10 troops are likely to be based at the site for around two months. London is hosting the Summer Olympics from July 27-Aug.12.
"From the few people I've spoken to, and the security we have here, they're not happy about it," said Brian Whelan. "I don't think it needs to be here at all."
In the leaflet, the defense ministry said the venue offered an uncluttered "view of the surrounding areas and the entire sky above the Olympic Park."
Troops plan to conduct tests this week at the building to determine
if the high velocity surface-to-air missiles will be stationed on a water tower attached to the site's roof.
Britain has previously confirmed that up to 13,500 troops are being deployed on land, at sea and in the air to help protect the Olympics alongside police and security guards. Typhoon fighter jets, helicopters, two warships and bomb disposal experts will be a part of the security operation.
"The majority of this exercise will be played out in full view of the public and I hope that it will have a secondary effect of reassuring the British people that everything possible is being done to ensure this will be a safe and secure Olympic and Paralympic
Games," said Defense Secretary Philip Hammond.

Detroit player suspended after hate crime charge
TOMMY BECKLEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Delmon Young was suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday for seven days without pay following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week in New York.
The commissioner's office said the suspension is retroactive to Friday, when Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets.
"Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our game's stature as a social institution," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode."
The statement from the commissioner's office also said that Young would be required to participate in a treatment program.
Young is eligible for reinstatement from the restricted list May 4.
The suspension will cost Young approximately $257,240 of his $6,725,000 salary.
Speaking before the Tigers game against the Kansas City Royals was postponed by rain, Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said Young will not appeal the ruling and that he will not face additional discipline by the team when he comes off the restricted list Friday.
"Under the (collective bargaining agreement), there's no dual discipline," he said. "He'll be activated and ready to play on Friday. If he's not in the lineup, that will be the manager's decision. He's been working out over the weekend, and took batting practice today, so he'll be physically ready on Friday."
Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, Young was standing outside the team hotel in New York. Nearby, a group of about four Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a yar-
mulke and a Star of David around his neck, according to police.
Afterward, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said.
It was not clear whom Young
It was wailing at, but he got into a scuffle with the Chicago group, and a 32-year-old man was tackled and sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police and the criminal complaint.
his arrest.
Dombrowski did not know any of the details of the treatment program. It is not known if Young would undergo sensitivity training, treatment for alcohol and anger issues or some combination.
"Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our game's stature as a social institution"
Both Young and the group went inside the hotel, and at some point, police were called, and Young was arrested, police said. Young was first taken to a hospital because he was believed to be intoxicated, police said.
BUD SELIG MLB Commissioner
Young apologized to his teammates and fans in a statement before being arraigned hours after
"We have not been told those details, and we might never know all of them," he said. "When Miguel (Cabera) was in a similar program last spring, I never saw the entire treatment program. The team is just told what they need to know to facilitate the player's work in the program."
Young is hitting .242 in 18 games, batting fifth in the order behind Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. He has one homer and five RBIs.

Kayaker trains for gold, works to overcome Crohn's
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
But as Johnson prepares for her third consecutive Olympic Games this summer, something else could squash her medal hopes before she so much as reaches the starting line.
The 28-year-old kayaker can handle endless days of training on the water. She can remain calm in a race — the flatwater sprint — that requires two minutes of explosive strength and steely nerves.
"It's frustrating," she said. "And I have no control over it."
Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disorder that afflicts the digestive tract. The symptoms can include pain, fatigue and weight loss, and they can flare up at any time.
With no known cure, Crohn's has forced Johnson to miss competitions and skip training for long stretches of time.
As the 2012 London Olympics
approach, she must keep it at bay for the next three months.
"You're continually trying to manage it and watch for the warning signs," she said. "That's all you can do."
Not much slowed the San Diego native as a teenager. She competed in gymnastics for more than a decade before discovering kayaking at a junior lifeguard program.
National coaches soon took note of this new paddler, built light and strong, and brought her into developmental camps at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center.
By 17, she was competing internationally.
But then, in 2003, Johnson began to suffer unexplained fatigue and anemia. The symptoms grew serious enough that she had to turn down a spot on the U.S. team headed for the world championships.
After months of medical examinations, a doctor finally diagnosed
the problem.
"I had never heard of Crohn's, so that was scary," Johnson said. "It took awhile to really learn about it and get over freaking out."
The Internet offered tales of the disease in its worst forms, but many of the estimated 700,000 Americans affected by this malady experience lesser symptoms.
Diet and medication can go a long way toward managing Crohn's.
"She has a really good strength-to-weight ratio," said Stein Jorgensen, a former Olympian who coaches her. "She gets out really well and can usually put some distance between herself and her opponents."
Barely a year after her initial diagnosis, Johnson was racing in the 500-meter sprint at the 2004 Athens Games, finishing one spot out of the finals.
HORSE RACING

Kentucky Derby lacks a clear prediction for winner
This year's running of the Kentucky Derby has more than its share of story lines with no horse clearly head and hooves above the others.
There's the first horse in more than 100 years trying to win the Derby without racing as a 2-year-old, or the horse trying to become only the eighth in history to be undefeated and win the celebrated race, or how about the early favorite who was a lock until finishing third in a recent race.
All this means for Saturday's self-proclaimed greatest two minutes in sports is a lot of guessing and the hope for a lot of racing luck.
"They all have questions, which is why it's so wide open," said Mike Battaglia, who will set the morning line for the Derby after
The horse that more people seem to love than hate is Union Rags, who was considered the easy favorite before finishing third in the Florida Derby. It was a tough race where he was caught behind horses and ran out of room. But, a truly great horse, finds a way to win. Union Rags didn't.
"All I want for the Kentucky Derby is to have Union Rags in a position to win and see if he can win," said jockey Julien Leparoux. "He's a great horse. We definitely have a great chance."
Union Rags was second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and won by four lengths in the Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park. He has won four of six races.

Two of the more talked-about horses have primarily run on the West Coast. Creative Cause won the San Felipe and then finished second to I'll Have Another by a nose in the Santa Anita Derby.

Bodemeister wasn't even considered the best horse in Baffert's barn when the 3-year-old campaign started. And, not many people were paying attention when he went to Arkansas. But his win by 9{ lengths got people talking about this lightly raced colt.
If he wins he will be the first horse in the history of the Derby to win without running as a 2-year-old.
"He's naturally quick," said his jockey, Mike Smith. "Get him out (of the gate) quick and then try and get him relaxed and go from there. ... He impressed me a whole lot more than I already was with him. That last eighth of a mile (in Arkansas) was pretty impressive."
The other horse expected to get some betting action is Dullahan, who won the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. However, he is 0 for 3 running at Churchill Downs, including a fourth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
And who can leave out Hansen (winner of the BC Juvenile) or Take Charge Indy (winner of the Florida Derby) or Went the Day Well (whose connections won the Derby last year with Animal Kingdom) or ...

Rain delay allows teams more time to improve
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Rain is following the Kansas City Royals.
Their scheduled game against the Detroit Tigers was postponed because of bad weather Monday night, Kansas City's second rainout in three days. This one will be made up at 7:05 p.m. on Sept. 24, which had been a mutual off day for both teams before playing each other the following day at Comerica Park.
"You don't want to wait until September, but that's a better option than sitting here for hours trying to wait out this rain," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "You don't want to sit here all night and still not be able to play."
Luke Hochevar had been slated to pitch for the Royals against
Tigers left-hander Duane Below. Hochevar was pushed back a day, but Detroit will skip Below and start Rick Porcello as scheduled on Tuesday night.
Play never started and the game was called after a delay of about 40 minutes.
"If you looked at the forecast and the radar, you pretty much knew there wasn't going to be a chance of getting this one in," Yost said. "There was just way too much rain."
The Royals had won three in a row before Saturday's game in Minnesota was postponed, but Yost doesn't think the lack of action has hurt his team's momentum. Kansas City lost to the Twins 7-4 on Sunday.
"These guys are in here ready and raring to go," he said.
"Obviously, they want to play baseball, but when you get to this level, you are used to things like this happening."
The rainout could help both teams on the mound.
The Royals will pitch Hochevar and Jonathan Sanchez in Detroit, then have Danny Duffy and Bruce Chen ready to start the first two games of a home series against the New York Yankees this week. That would allow Kansas City to skip struggling Luis Mendoza.
"It will help us a little," Yost said. "We go Hoch, Sanchez and Duffy, and then we can still use Bruce on his regular day if we want to do that."
The Tigers, already facing a shortage in the bullpen, were going to start Below against the Royals. The rainout not only gives
Detroit's overworked relievers an extra day off, it lets manager Jim Leyland return Below to his preferred role of long relief.
Doug Fister (strained ribcage)
is scheduled for a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, and the Tigers hope he'll be ready to pitch the next time his spot in the rotation comes up.

But things immediately brightened up when injured designated hitter Victor Martinez limped into the Detroit clubhouse. Martinez, expected to miss most of the season after injuring his knee during offseason workouts, hadn't been to Comerica Park yet this year.

One weekend winning the PGA, marrying his wife the next
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AVONDALE, La. — A first-time PGA Tour winner one weekend, a married man the next.
The spring of 2012 will go down as a memorable time in Jason Dufner's life.
Although it took pair of playoff holes, Dufner finally proved he could hold it together and make a mid-tournament lead stand up, making a birdie on his second extra trip down the par-5 18th hole at the TPC Louisiana to win the Zurich Classic in a playoff with Ernie Els.
"It's always really tough playing on Sundays whether you're in the lead or middle of the pack, and today I was fighting, trying to win an event, and I think I showed myself a good bit out there," said the 35-year-old Dufner, whose wedding is next weekend. "Ernie made a great run at me and it felt like with five or six holes (to go) we were probably going to be battling for the win."
Dufner, whose average score at the cut this season ranks second on the Tour, finished atop the leader board for the first time in 164 career PGA Tour starts.
Now if he can only figure out his honeymoon plans.
"The honeymoon is going to be at The Players Championship," Dufner joked about the event in two weeks at TPC Sawgrass. "They got an island green."
Dufner's fiancee, Amanda Boyd, wasn't about to complain. Watching from behind the 18th green, she was tearful as Dufner finally made the clutch shots he needed to finish on top.
"It's awesome. He's been so close so many times. I don't feel like it."
real," Boyd said. "It will be a good wedding."
Dufner said he was more nervous about his final putt of less than 2 feet than about his impending marriage.
"There's a been a good bit of pressure," Dufner said. "People talking about, 'Why aren't you winning? Why can't you close the deal?' ... Friends, family, media, even people in my inner circle. And not in a negative way, but when you're leading tournaments going into weekends and you're finishing 24th, there's going to be some questions."
The win should also stamp out some of the bad memories haunting Dufner since the Masters, when he shared the lead after two rounds but faded to 24th.
Dufner lost playoffs last year to Mark Wilson in the Phoenix Open and Keegan Bradley in the PGA Championship for two of his three career runner-up finishes. He had held five previous leads through two rounds, including twice this year.
Entering the fourth round with a two-shot lead in New Orleans, Dufner shot a 2-under 70, while Els had a 67 to match Dufner for a course-record 19-under 269 total.
Both missed birdie putts within 8 feet in the first playoff, so they went back to the 18th tee for the second extra hole, which Dufner won by hitting the green in two strokes and tapping home a short birdie putt after Els' birdie attempt from the fringe narrowly missed.
The 6-foot-3 Els, who goes by the nickname "The Big Easy," hasn't won on the PGA Tour since the 2010 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, a little more than two
years ago.
He did not have a bogey in the final round or the playoff, and could have celebrated his 19th career PGA Tour title in the Big
Easy if he could have made a birdie putt of a little less than 6 feet on the first playoff hole.
"It was a nice little charge I made and, you know, nice to catch the leader." Els said. "I had a chance to win the tournament with a 6-footer and missed it, but I
made quite a few putts on the back nine to keep myself in it. ... Hit the ball pretty well today — no bogeys on the final round — so there's a lot of positives."
"It's always really tough playing on Sundays whether you're in the lead or middle of the pack, and today I was fighting, trying to win an event, and I think I showed myself a good bit out there,"
On the second playoff hole, Els' tee shot went into a fairway bunker, and his second shot landed 137 yards from the pin. His third shot landed on the fringe, nearly 19 feet from the pin, but he nearly saved birdie from there, his putt missing by 2 inches.
Dufner then made his birdie putt, and in his typically low-key way, briefly raised both arms to acknowledge the cheering crowd before casually walking off the green to accept some congratulatory hugs.
After becoming the seventh player to take his first career PGA Tour triumph in New Orleans since 2002, Dufner called it a "great wedding present" for himself and his bride to be.
"It helps with paying for the
wedding, obviously," added Dufner, who earned $1,152,000. "They're a little more expensive than I thought or had imagined. ... It'll be a big celebration not only for our marriage

(It) wears on you, tires you out. Somehow I finished — I'm in the top 20. A lot of guys wished they did that."
While Els was on the practice green preparing for a possible playoff, Dufner chipped on to set up a potential winning putt from 10 1/2 feet.
Els' 17-foot birdie put on 18 missed by about an inch, opening the door for Dufner to win in regulation if he could birdie the 585-yard hole to cap his fourth round.
Els and Dufner were tied at 19 under after 11 holes. Els made par on each of his final seven holes of regulation. Dufner made par on his final eight, none more difficult than on 16, when he hit into water, but salvaged par with a 44-foot

The layhawks' spring practice regimen is done. The team's time listening to coach Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo has ended until practice starts again in August. The spring game marked the end of the spring practice period, and it was the team's first chance to show off its new components and improvements.
Here are the players who stood out in their first opportunity to show off their talents to the Kansas fanbase, along with quarterback Dayne Crist who had an impressive showing against a mostly second string defense.
SOPHOMORE RUNNING BACK
TONY PIERSON:
Pierson, voted the game's most valuable offensive player, stole some of the hype surrounding quarterback Dayne Crist. And Pierson to that wipe when he blazed down the field for a 88-yard touchdown run that made most at Memorial Stadium gasp.
Weis said the running back should get carries in the mid-teens this year, and Pierson showed why he'll be such an important part to the Kansas offense on Saturday.
"Tony is dangerous in space."
Weis said. "It's pretty obvious, when he's in space, it's a problem."
SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER MICHAEL REYNOLDS:
Welcome to the show, Mr. Reynolds. The defensive MVP of Saturday's game showed off his potential in his first game with extended playing time. He finished with five tackles, four of which were four a loss and three sacks.
Reynolds will be a key player in improving a Kansas defense that desperately needs back up. He should be a big player for the Jayhawks this season.
"My whole coaching point to him is that he's going to be one of the guys to really help us and hopefully today is just another step in him turning the corner," Weis said.
THE KANSAS RECEIVING CORPS:
Last season without Daymond Patterson, the Kansas recievers struggled. Saturday was a different story.
The Jayhawks caught 21 passes for 281 yards (13.3 yards per catch), as many receivers, including Patterson, made plays that turned heads. Senior receiver Kale Pick had a big day, including an impressive catch on a 44-yard pass from junior quarterback Jake Heaps.
"Going into the offseason, I'm not going to lose any sleep about having enough contenders at wide receiver," Weis said. "We will have enough guys to catch the ball."
But it wasn't all positive for the Jayhawks. Here are some players that left more to be desired on Saturday:
FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK MIKE CUMMINGS:
Cummings had an opportunity to shine, as he was the starting quarterback of the white team. Instead of shining, he had a dull afternoon throwing for 18 yards off of two of seven passing.
Cummings did have the elements against him, as his white team didn't have as many key players as the blue team did. And the mobile quarterback could be tackled by touch, as the position is protected in the spring game.
"Him throwing the ball is not the issue," Weis said. "His experience is the issue right now, but he's a freshman. He's been here one year, so that's part of your process."
WIDE RECEIVER
JUSTIN MCCAY:
McCay saw limited playing time on Saturday, so his performance was not the issue. It was disappointing that McCay was left off the field, as Kansas fans will
have to wait to be able to see what he can do.
Coach Weis said he expects to hear about McCay's eligibility by May 2.
SENIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN
TOBEN OPURUM:
Opurum was a part of the blue team defense that shut out the white队 offense. Still, Opurum's production of one solo tackle and two assists Saturday was underwhelming, as there were multiple opportunities to increase his statistics.
While Opurum's one tackle was for a loss, he still left more to be desired following the game. He'll have to be a leader if the defense is going to improve this season.

Officers from the Lawrence Police Department, KU Office of Public Safety and Alcoholic Beverage Control issued several citations in Lawrence, including 18 charges to 11 individuals. A Topeka catering service providing food and alcohol at the Sigma Chai fraternity house, 1439 Tennessee St., was issued an ABC administrative citation for several allegations, including allowing minors to possess alcohol.
The task force is part of the Draw the Line Lawrence campaign, which began in fall 2010.

"I knew that he ran in and out of the office a lot and was extremely busy, but I had no concept of what the president did," said Johnson, a senior from Lawrence.
Four years later, Johnson is finishing her term as student body president, leaving her mark on the University by accomplishing many of KUnited's platform issues with vice-president Gabe Bliss, a junior from Olathe.

The pair's platform included free graphic design service for student organizations, improving the student voice in administration, bus stops along Emery Road, Wescoe Beach renovations and bringing famous artists to campus.
Bliss said that working with different departments for the platform's bike rental program made him appreciate the campus ties.
"You know that you're going to be taking on an extreme leadership challenge and that you will learn about the University," Johnson said. "But the amount of what you learn is amazing."
"You start noticing how interrelated the campus is when you start a month or two in," Bliss said. "I think it came through on a lot of the platform issues we ran on."
"We were confident in our ideas, and students were obviously confident in our abilities," Bliss said. "It was making sure we met expectations; that's where some nerves possibly came from."
Bliss said that he and Johnson were sure of their platform, but they were a bit apprehensive about what to expect.

"There were times we disagreed," Johnson said. "But because of those times, we learned more about each other and how we work together. It ended up making a better product in the end."
With Johnson's term coming to an end, she's looking forward to transferring her duties to next year's president, Hannah Bolton, a junior from St. Libory, Neb.
Before she was elected, Johnson said that she was an introvert.
"I feel exhausted," Johnson said. "It was so much packed into one year. I hope that I am never this busy again, but looking back at the amount of things we got to do, to learn and how much we got to contribute to the KU community, it was 110 percent worth it."

Gingrich's race for the White House fizzles out
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Over the course of a career, Gingrich, 68, went from rabble rouser to the pinnacle of establishment power and back again.
WASHINGTON — Apresident candidate no longer, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich departs the race for the White House as likely the most consequent and certainly the most interesting Republican of his time never to sit in the Oval Office.
Rabble rousing was the way to power, he thought. It worked once, in Congress, but not the second time, in his bid for the White House. He bid farewell to his supporters in a video posted on his campaign website on Tuesday. "Your help was vital," he thanked them. A formal announcement that he is suspending the campaign, coupled with an endorsement for Mitt Romney, is on the calendar for Wednesday. By the time he decided to bow out, he had already weathered more crises than appeared survivable.
His entire senior staff quit in the summer of 2011, saying he wouldn't devote enough time to fundraising or campaigning in early states. He promptly announced he would run a "substantive, solutions-oriented" race.
When other challengers to Romney faded, Gingrich led the polls late last year before the Iowa caucuses, only to be knocked back by a strong barrage of attack ads financed by a super PAC aligned with Romney. Somehow, he recovered once more, and won the South Carolina primary in January, before losing Florida and beginning a long, final fade.
It is not clear exactly how long Gingrich has wanted to be president. He flirted with it in 1995, when he was speaker, and made
a joint appearance in the firstin-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire with Clinton to discuss campaign finance legislation.
Gingrich had lost his first two races for the House, in 1974 and 1976, before his career-defining persistence paid off when a long-term Democratic incumbent retired in 1978, creating a vacancy. Inside the House, Gingrich and his allies created the Conservative Opportunity Society to help build a policy framework on key issues. Outside Congress, he took over GOPAC in the mid-1980s and used it to build a farm team of future Republican political conservatives. As speaker, Gingrich made sure the House voted in the first 100 days on each item in the Contract With America, the Republican campaign manifesto from the 1994 election. His closest associates said he was often the smartest man in the room, and insisted on acting that way.
His ability to outmaneuver others and his understanding of technology were on brilliant display one night just before the Florida presidential primary. Facing a crushing defeat, he strolled over to a group of reporters in the lobby of a Jacksonville hotel. With a conspiratorial smile, he said a poll coming out in the morning would show him trailing Romney by only 4 points.
Was that on the record? It was and, within minutes, virtually the entire press corps had been gulled by a fading candidate into tweeting that a poll of unproven existence showed him with a slim and shrinking deficit.
Gingrich lost Florida to Romney by 14 points, not 4. and his White House campaign entered a death spiral.

President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai arrive before signing a strategic partnership agreement Tuesday in Kabul, Afghanistan. The meeting took place on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death.
KABUL, Afghanistan President Barack Obama slipped into Afghanistan Tuesday night on an unannounced visit on the anniversary of the killing of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Obama and Afghan president Hamid Karzai signed an agreement to set the terms for US-Afghanistan relations after US withdrawal.
Obama visits Kabul, sets withdrawal terms
The partnership spells out the US relationship with Afghanistan beyond 2014, covering security, economics and governance. The deal is limited in scope and essentially gives both sides political cover: Afghanistan gets its sovereignty and a promise it won't be abandoned, while the U.S. gets to end its combat mission but keep a foothold in the country.

in Afghanistan after the war ends for two specific purposes: continued training of Afghan forces and targeted operations against al-Qaida, which is present in neighboring Pakistan but has only a nominal presence inside Afghanistan.
Officials have previously said as many as 20,000 U.S. troops may remain after the combat mission ends, but that still must be negotiated.
The deal does not commit the United States to any specific troop presence or spending. But it does allow the U.S. to potentially keep troops

ASIA
BURABURI, India — Rescuers on Tuesday had recovered 103 bodies from a turbulent northeastern river after a heavily packed ferry capsized, saying they feared that dozens of others had been swept by the current to neighboring Bangladesh.
Divers recover more than 100 bodies from capsized ferry in remote Indian river
The overloaded ferry overturned and broke into two pieces in stormy weather late Monday. About 100 people were still missing Tuesday evening.
Abdul Mazid, a local villager, was among grieving relatives and survivors gathered on the banks of the Brahmaputra River in Assam state.
He had rushed there soon after the boat ferrying about 350 people — including his sister — capsized. Some passengers swam to safety or were rescued by villagers, but Mazid was still waiting in silence on the crowded river bank for news of his sister 24 hours later.
Rescuers said they feared that the swift-moving currents had carried dozens of bodies downstream into neighboring Bangladesh.
The ferry was a daily service that connected several small riverside villages and islands to the main district town.
Survivors told television channels how the ferry had been packed tight with passengers and cargo, with about 150 people riding on the ferry's roof.
The accident occurred near Fakiragram village in west Dhubri district, about 215 miles west of the state capital, Gauhati, and close to where the Brahmaputra River enters Bangladesh.
Deep sea divers and disaster rescue soldiers worked through the night to help survivors to shore and retrieve bodies from the river.
RAPID RIVER CRASH. A boat collapsed into the rapids of the River Rapid, killing hundreds of people and leaving many more injured. The crash was caused by strong waves and a sudden fall of water.
Rescuers pull out the wreckage of a ferry that capsized in the Brahmaputra River at Buraburi village, about (215 miles) west of the state capital Gauhati, India on Tuesday. Army divers and rescue workers pulled more than 100 bodies out of a river after a packed ferry capsized in heavy winds.

AFRICA
Fighting continues to plague Bamako
BAMAKO, Mali — After fierce fighting in Mali's capital Tuesday, troops loyal to the junta overran the main camp of the soldiers who tried to oust them in a countercoup.
Gunfire echoed across Bamako as Malian government troops battled each other, killing at least 12 people.
Mali's coup leaders who took power over a month ago and ostensibly handed control over to an interim civilian government on April 12, said they control the state broadcaster, the airport and a military base, fending off attacks by opposing forces.
Coup leader Capt. Amadou Sanogo told a private radio station Monday night that the countercoup had failed and that his soldiers have captured
foreign fighters.
A senior Western diplomat based in Bamako told The Associated Press that the fighting apparently started Monday when forces loyal to the junta tried to arrest the former head of the presidential guard. The presidential guard is part of Mali's parachutist regiment, known as the Red Berets, part of the faction that was seen as the most reluctant to submit to the authority of the junta. The regiment was the most loyal to ex-President Amadou Toumani Toure when he was in power.

Anti-junta forces tried to take over the country's state broadcaster and attacked the airport and the junta's main military base on Monday.
islamist sect bombs newspaper office
LAGOS, Nigeria — A radical Islamist sect published a video Tuesday showing a smiling suicide bomber drive into the offices of a major Nigerian newspaper and blow himself up, an attack that killed at least three people and made journalists a new target of the extremist group.
The 18-minute video posted on YouTube includes new threats against journalists and major Nigerian newspapers, as well as the Hausa language services of Voice of America and Radio France International. The video shows the suicide bomber drive a sport utility vehicle on April 26 into the Abuja offices of ThisDay, an influential newspaper.
As a man softly prays, the car blows up, sending a massive fireball into the air.
The attack killed at least three people at the offices in Nigeria's capital. A separate bombing at offices the newspaper shared with other publications in the city of Kaduna killed at least four people.
In the video, a narrator blames ThisDay for publishing inaccurate and biased information about the sect known as Boko Haram. "The punishment for that is the person should be killed, especially when you're talking about Prophet Muhammad," the narrator says.
The reporter who wrote the article later fled Nigeria for Europe.

Recording Academy slashes award spots
LOS ANGELES — Long a target of debate and criticism, the Grammy Awards this year had to deflect an attack from a block of its core constituency; the artists. Musicians and music activists cried foul after the Recording Academy slashed its number of award categories from 109 to 78.
Difficulty Level ★★★
Those still hoping for a reversal of this decision were dealt a serious blow as a New York judge dismissed a suit aimed at forcing the Recording Academy to rescind the changes. Latin jazz musician Bobby Sanabria was one of those behind the suit, arguing that the cuts would hurt an artist's career and unfairly targeted niche categories.

The Recording Academy will meet in late May to discuss any changes to the 2013 Grammy Awards telecast. President Neil Portnow praised the judge's decision in a statement and said Monday that he did not anticipate any massive overhauls to next year's nominations and awards.
"The reason we did this is because we believe in the academy," Sanabria said. "This past year, all of us were left out in the lurch — all of the people eliminated in
"I would anticipate there would be some changes this year, but what I don't think will change will be the overall restructuring." Portnow said. "We found a different way to categorize and to look at this very challenging process. We try to be objective about something that is subjective. The overall infrastructure that we implemented seems to work well."

LOS ANGELES — The Oscars aren't going anywhere. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced Tuesday that it has signed a new 20-year deal with CIM Group to keep the annual Academy Award show at the Hollywood & Highland Center through 2033. Also confirmed is a Dolby Laboratories agreement with the owners of the complex to take over the naming rights to the theater, previously belonging to Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy.

The agreement quels the rumors that the academy's board of governors was going to move its annual telecast downtown to the L.A. Live complex and its Nokia Theater.

University could benefit from subway system
Does anyone understand why you see people at the library sitting at a computer with their iaptops out? The concept perplexes me.
make no mistake, the Kansan values the KU bus system.
the KU bus system. The buses are a wonderful part of the KU transportation structure and the Kansan doesn't want the following idea to offend the bus drivers or devalue their importance to campus. Having said that, the campus would be greatly improved if there were a KU subway system.
There are so many reasons why a subway system would benefit KU students. The subways would be much quicker than the current bus system. How many people have missed class because the buses have to use the streets? Getting buses off the streets would also free up traffic. The subway system would run on computers, freeing up funds used to hire drivers for the bus system. Because of the computers, the subways could run 24/7 — no need to worry about catching the last bus. The subway system would run on electricity, and that would make our transportation system greener.
If the University wanted to get on the cutting edge of transportation technology, the KU subway, or JayWay, could run magnetically. Furthermore, the use of a subway system would make it possible to move current on-campus parking lots to a Park & Ride-like radial around the greater campus. It wouldn't take much space on campus to build stairs leading down to the stations. Subway stations could

be built underground and current parking lots could be turned into green space. The campus subway system would make the University a greener campus.
Essentially, the best situation would be if Lawrence also built a subway system. A KU-Lawrence subway connection would allow greater transportation access to students living off-campus. While SafeBus is an asset to KU JayWay would make taking a subway home after a night on Massachusetts Street much safer for bar-goers and locals alike. The subway system would have to be equipped with modern security systems, ensuring the safety and security of subway passengers. Inevitably, an intermodal system connecting the KU-Lawrence
subway to the Kansas City metro by way of a train would make campus and Lawrence much more accessible.
In reality, this subway idea isn't feasible and there are several potential issues. According to the Kansas Geological Survey, Lawrence sits on top of the lawrence formation, which is a limestone formation. The thickness ranges to about 140 feet. That's one hell of a solid rock formation we're sitting on.
Despite all the issues, the subway system would become a major asset to the University. The costs associated with a subway would be made up through a student fee and a pay-as-you-go system, like any other city subway system. Lawrence citizens and KU students alike would be able to use this mass transit system for years to come.
Another possible problem could be diagenesis — the chemical or physical change undergone by a sediment. The limestone underneath Mount Oread could have gone through compaction or cementation, turning the originally soft limestone into a much

ADVICE
Reduce stress with comedic YouTube videos
With finals coming up and my brainpower at an all-time low. I've decided to take a break from my normal, politically focused columns to focus on something a little lighter: Jim Gaffigan's new comedy special "Mr. Universe." I want to convince you to buy this comedy special. Normally, I'd just let you make that decision yourself, but I do not want you to miss out on this delightful bit of comedy.
Let me give you four reasons you should buy this one special:
P. S. If you don't know who Jim Gaffigan is, stop reading, access a computer, go to YouTube and type in "Jim Gaffigan Camping" (my personal favorite thus far) or "jim Gaffigan Holiday Traditions," watch the video and return. Although, truthfully, you'll probably never make it back to my article. You'll end up watching numerous Gaffigan videos on YouTube and eventually going to his site and buying the special anyway. If that's your path, have at it.
Before, I try to convince you to buy this, let me tell you about my path to purchasing this special. I was browsing Twitter, as I spend a lot of my time, and saw Jim Gaffigan tweeting about his new comedy special. Everyone should follow him because his tweets are pretty funny. Anyway, I went to his website just to see what the new special was all about. Once I got to the website, I watched the free sample clip about whales, which was hilarious. Then I found out it was only $5 and there were basically no restrictions on how the special could be used. It can be burned, watched as many times as you want, etc. By that point I was sold! I bought it and proceeded to watch the entire special immediately. It was hilarious!
First, the special is absolutely hilarious and who doesn't like to laugh. From Jim Gaffigan, the man who brought us the Hot Pocket and Cinnabon sketches, he brings us a brand-new, 75-minute comedy special that is truly hilarious. The new special contains hilarious sketches about vacations at Disney, the truth about exercising in the gym, the culture of McDonalds, whales, and Subway and Jared (you know Subway's spokesperson). If you buy it and watch it, you will laugh or you probably just don't understand what's funny. Your loss.
By Matthew Nygaard
mnygaard@kansan.com
Second, the special is not available in stores, on TV or online. The only way to access it is by purchasing it online. If you do not purchase it, you're going to be missing out.
Third, the special costs only $5, which is what many of us spend on one drink every weekend or on coffee every week. I guarantee the comedy special provides you more value for your money than that double rum and Coke or caramel macchiato you drink. Also, for that $5 you can download it three times in either SD or HD, stream it three times (on your phone for example) burn it, and watch it as many times as you want.
Fourth, and finally, $1 of that $5 goes to the Bob Woodruff Foundation to help injured U.S. service members. Not only can you laugh, but a small portion of that money can go to help the people who are injured serving the United States.
That's my best pitch. The choice is yours.

FOOD
ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN BENEDICK
Damn,it feels good to be a sandwich
Yo, have you ever had a sandwich? I have! I've had multiple.
sandwiches, in fact. I had a sandwich earlier today! It was a ground beef patty and cheddar sandwich, also known as a "cheeseburger." Cheeseburgers like to pretend that they're not sandwiches, but they're just playing hard to get.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
I'm writing about this amazing food product in celebration of Sandwich Appreciation Week, or I would be if that were a real holiday. Anyways, I'd like to share with you some amazing facts about sandwiches.
A lot of people don't know this, but sandwiches are the motherfreaking best. It doesn't matter what meat or plant-based paste you slap on the bread, it will always turn out righteous. Ham, turkey, peanut butter: there is no such thing as a bad sandwich topping (with the possible exception of chicken salad, which is delicious in theory but has been uniformly terrible every time I've ordered it).
Besides toppings, you can change up your sandwich by substituting different kinds of bread. There's white bread, rye, wheat, whole wheat, honey wheat and several thousand other variations on wheat. If this is your first time hearing about sandwiches, it might be a lot to take in, but trust me: If you stick with sandwiches, they'll never let you down (unless it is a chicken salad sandwich, which, again, will
be terrible).
Many people think that the Earl of Sandwich was the inventor of the sandwich, or at least gave it its name. This is, unfortunately, no more than a fanciful story. Sandwiches have, of course, existed since time immemorial and were first discovered in ancient Greece.
The story goes that Zeus of the Wandering Groin was cheating on his wife, Hera of the Jealous Ankles, with a wood nymph. When she discovered his philandering, she turned the nymph into a Reuben sandwich with a side of fries, and Zeus gobbled them up either in honor of the nymph or because he was hungry. Alternately, the chicken salad sandwich was created when Pandora opened her box and Evil spread into the world.
Of course, no discussion of the sandwich would be complete without a discussion of its place in our nation's history. During the battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate army threatened to overtake the Union flank. The men of the 20th Maine under command of Col. Joshua Chamberlain
were charged with its defense, but were low on ammunition and in need of a miracle. At that moment, Chamberlain downed a Philly cheesesteak and came up with the idea to charge the enemy. This is why Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are despised in the South.
Later, a sentient chicken salad sandwich shot President Lincoln.
As Sandwich Appreciation Week comes to a close, please remember to celebrate safely. I know many of you will be doing PBJ shots and deli stands, which is when you eat as many BLT sandwiches as you can while being held upside down, but please exercise moderation. Celebrate, but remember the spirit of Sandwich Appreciation Week.
We all remember the moment in Charles Dickens' classic, "A Sandwich Carol," when Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Sandwich Present and sees the Cratechit family happily eating sandwiches even though they can only afford measly chicken salad sandwiches. He's so overcome with compassion, he buys them all French dip sandwiches and they eat happily ever after.
The good book says it best:
"Whoever does not love does not know sandwiches, because sandwiches are love."

FROM MCLEMORE PAGE 12
they blew those away, so I'm very happy for them."
As a forward in his freshman and sophomore years in high school, McLemore didn't have to create shots or defend quick dribblers. When he became a guard as a high school junior, he started to learn how to shoot with range, dribble and drive.
These are still the areas that McLemore is working on. He practices two-ball dribbling and coming off screens with the left hand. He shoots every day and lifts weights multiple times a week.
While he wasn't able to help the Jayhawks on the road to New Orleans this season, he said it was valuable to practice against Robinson's strength and Tyshawn Taylor's speed. McLemore said he will use what he learned against both players to prepare himself for future opponents.
And, if that means getting schooled by Taylor, so be it.
While McLemore has struggled to defend both Robinson and Taylor, that doesn't mean it's a one-sided show. There was one practice, McLemore said, when he was unstoppable.
"They don't like trying to chase me around," McLemore said of his teammates in practice.
Both Robinson and Taylor are gone. Now McLemore has his time to lead the Jayhawks, Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey, Travis Releford, Kevin Young, Justin Wesley and Nadar Tharpe will return. Newcomers will include Perry Ellis, Andrew White, Landen Lucas, Zach Peters and Anrio Adams.
Kansas won't change because it lost Taylor and Robinson. Self will still preach the importance of defense, but most of the Jayhawks' struggles this season were on the offensive side of the ball.
McLemore, who will be eligible to play, wants to be the answer — with his improved ballhandling and a smoother jump shot. He's had a full year on the sideline to picture it.
"Now I can say I'm here," McLemore said. "I'm fully a Kansas basketball player now."

Pettitte testifies against Clemens
BASEBALL
ESPN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andy Pettitte leaves the Federal Court in Washington on Tuesday. Pettitte took the stand in the retrial of Roger Clemens on charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Andy Petittie and Roger Clemens sat some 20 feet apart, Petittie on the witness stand and Clemens at the defense table trying to avoid going to jail. The topic: a remark about human growth hormone Petittie recalled hearing from his longtime teammate, mentor and workout partner a dozen years ago.
"Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH," Pettitte testified. "And that it could help with recovery, and that's really all I remember about the conversation."
It's a conversation that Clemens has famously claimed that Pettitte "misremembers."
The right-hander on trial who won 354 major league games and the lefty on the stand with 240 wins had an awkward reunion Tuesday, Day 8 in the retrial of charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids or HGH.
Pettitte's appearance enlivened the proceedings and came
without warning. The government interrupted testimony from the trial's first witness to call Pettitte just before noon.
Pettitte testified mostly with his hands clasped in front of him and rarely looked at Clemens, even during the lengthy delays when lawyers held conferences at the judge's bench. Clemens frequently took notes. The two haven't spoken recently because of the trial, but Pettitta nevertheless said he found it difficult to testify because he still considers Clemens a good friend.
Pettitte is crucial to a government case that will otherwise rely heavily on the testimony of Brian McNamee, who worked as a strength coach for both Clemens and Pettitte and has said he injected both men with performance-enhancing substances. The government showed the jury photos of the three working out together in Texas during happier times — "Mac, Roger and me", as Pettitte put it.
Pettitte has acknowledged he received HGH from McNamee; Clemens has not. Pettitte said
he used HGH one other time, in 2004. He said he regretted it both times he tried it, that he doesn't think it helped him physically and that it has tarnished his name.
"I wish I never would've" taken HGH, he said. "If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't be here today."
LEGAL
Pettitte will return to the stand on Wednesday.
Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, spent the morning trying to challenge the merits of the 2008 hearing, specifically honing in on whether the questions asked of Clemens had anything to do with Congress' stated mission of passing laws.
But Hardin was walking a fine line. A substantial challenge to the validity of the hearings could open the door to allow the government to introduce more evidence about the widespread use of steroids and HGH in baseball — something Clemens doesn't want the jury to hear for fear of guilt by association.
Homicide trial continues for former NFL star's wife
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — A jury began deliberations Tuesday on the crucial questions of whether the wife of former Minnesota Viking Joe Senser knew she had struck and killed a stalled motorist on a freeway exit ramp — and when she knew it.
Prosecutor Deborah Russell told the jurors in closing arguments that the evidence proves Amy Sensor had to have known she hit Anousone Phanthavong, was probably drunk, concealed evidence and failed to notify authorities about the fatal accident. She urged them not to take Sensor at her word but to balance her testimony against
all the other evidence presented during the seven-dav trial.
"The evidence in this case demonstrates she knew she hit Mr. Phanthavong at the time she hit him," Russell said.
After deliberating more than four hours Tuesday, the jury recessed for the night without a verdict just before 7 p.m. CDT. Deliberations were scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
But defense attorney Eric Nelson accused prosecutors of rushing to judgment because Sensor and her husband, the former Vikings tight end-turned-restaurateur, are well known in the community.
"Amy Senser is a public figure. Joe Senser is a public figure. We want to make an example (of them)," Nelson said.
If she's convicted one or all of
Amy Senser, 45, of Edina, is charged with three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide plus a misdemeanor count of careless driving stemming from the Aug. 23 incident. To get a conviction on the first felony count, the prosecution had to prove that she knew she hit a person. On the second count, the prosecution needed to prove that not only did she know she struck someone but that she failed to report it as soon as reasonably possible. The third requires the jury to conclude she acted with gross negligence, not just ordinary negligence.
the felony counts, the state's sentencing guidelines recommend a prison sentence of four years. The misdemeanor count carries a maximum of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Senser testified Monday that she thought she had hit an orange construction barrel or a pothole when she heard a bump as she drove up an exit ramp off Interstate 94 in Minneapolis just after 11 p.m. last Aug. 23. She said she was not looking forward and never saw Phanthavong, a 38-year-old restaurant cook who had run out of gas and was filling it on the side of the road. She testified she was lost but not under the influence of alcohol.
front right corner of her husband's Mercedes SUV was damaged until the next morning. Although she said she was certain she wasn't involved in the fatal accident even after she learned of it through a news report, her husband contacted an attorney, who turned the car over to the State Patrol the night of Aug. 24. She did not acknowledge she was the driver until Sept. 2.
"Ms. Senser did not know what she hit on August 23rd. She did not know what she hit on August 24th. And she's struggling with accepting it to this day," Nelson said.
She said she did not see that

Royals fall to Tigers after rained-out game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Austin Jackson had four hits and Rick Porcello pitched eight strong innings to lead the Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals 9-3 on Tuesday night.
The Tigers scored five runs in the first and won for only the third time in 11 games. Porcello (2-2) took advantage of the offensive support to snap out of his slump, allowing three runs and seven hits. In his previous two starts, the right-hander was 0-2 with a 15.26 ERA.
Luke Hochevar (2-2) took the loss for Kansas City, yielding nine runs on 12 hits and three walks in four innings. Hochevar had given up only three runs over 11 1-3 innings in his last two starts.
The teams were rained out Monday night, Kansas City's
second rainout in three days.
The Royals have lost two straight following a three-game winning streak that came on the heels of a 12-game skid.
After the Royals went down in order in the first, the Tigers put their first seven batters on base and needed just 17 pitches to do it. After two singles and Miguel Cabrera's double made it 1-0, Eric Hosmer's wild throw from first base to the plate allowed two more runs to score.
The next three Tigers singled, increasing the margin to 5-0, before Ramon Santiago grounded into a double play and Don Kelly popped out to end the inning.
Detroit added three more runs i the third on an RBI single by Kelly and Jackson's two-run double before Jhonny Peralta made it 9-0 with a run-scoring single in the fourth.
Kansas City got on the board with an RBI groundout by Humberto Quintero in the fifth, and Alex Gordon made it 9-2 with a double in the sixth. Jarrod Dyson led off the eighth with a stand-up triple and scored on Gordon's groundout.
The game took a strange twist in the ninth, when Jeff Francoeur hit a long fly that bounced off the top of the fence in left-center. Jackson reached over the wall and caught the ball before it landed in the Kansas City bullpen, saving a home run. Second base umpire Tim McClelland — appearing in his 4,000th game — mistakenly called Francoeur out, but after a conference among the umpires, Francoeur was credited with a double.

Phillies beat NL East rivals in first meeting of season
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — John Mayberry Jr. doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Tuesday night in the first meeting of the season between the NL East rivals.
After Brandon Beachy gave up only two runs in seven innings to outlast Phillies starter Cole Hamels, the Phillies played a 2-1 tie with two runs against Jonny Venters (2-1).
Mayberry, in the game as a pinch-hitter, doubled to right with one out, moved to third on Jimmy Rollins' single and scored on Venters' wild pitch to Placido Polanco. Shane Victorino added an infield hit and Pence singled to right, driving in
Rollins for a 4-2 lead.
Antonio Bastardo (1-1) pitched a perfect seventh. Jonathan Papelbon earned his ninth save by retiring the Braves in order in the ninth.
Venters gave up four hits and two runs, the first he has allowed in 10 games, while recording two outs.
The Phillies (12-12), the five-time defending NL East champions, returned to .500 after finishing April at 11-12 for their first losing record in a full month since going 11-15 in June 2009.
The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Polanco singled and moved to third on a double by Pence with two outs. Ty Wigginton followed with a single which skipped past left fielder Martin Prado. Pence ran past third base before Prado's error,
so Wigginton, who advanced to third, was credited with two RIBs.
After Brian McCann's homer in the fourth, the Braves pulled even with one run off Hamels in the sixth. Singles by Freddie Freeman and Matt Diaz and a walk to McCann loaded the bases. Freeman scored from third on Juan Francisco's flyball to left field.
Hamels gave up two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings.
Beachy gave up five hits and two runs in seven innings.
The Braves helped Beachy with two strong defensive plays in the seventh. Tyler Pastornicky made a diving grab of Pence's line drive to open the inning. Matt Diaz, running at full speed, caught Wigginton's liner at the right wall.

Tampa beats Mariners holds its top ranking
The Rays played without third baseman Evan Longoria, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list before the game with a partially torn left hamstring. The three-time All-Star, hurt on Monday night while attempting to steal second base, is expected to be sidelined four to eight weeks.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Joyce had two of Tampa Bay's three hits, including a solo homer and RBI triple, to help the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 for their ninth victory in 10 games on Tuesday night.
The good news for Tampa Bay was Moore got his first victory of the season. The hard-throwing 22-year-old left-hander, who started and won Tampa Bay's postseason opener last October, walked one and struck out seven in the shortest of his starts this year.
Rookie Matt Moore (1-1) scattered seven hits over five innings to get the win, which kept the first-place Rays atop the AL East standings.
Joyce tripled off Mariners starter Hector Noesi (1-3), then scored on Luke Scott's sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead in the first. Joyce team-leading sixth homer of the season made it 3-1 in the third.
Burke Badenhop and Joel Peralta combined for three scoreless innings out of Tampa Bay's bullpen. Fernando Rodney struck out the side in the ninth to earn his eighth save in eight opportunities.
Saunders homered off Moore in the third. Seattle threatened in the fourth and fifth against the Rays starter, and again in the eighth when Montero doubled off Joel Peralta, but the Mariners failed to get a runner past second in each situation.
Michael Sauders had a solo homer and Jesus Montero went 4-for-4 for Seattle, however the Mariners went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position to lose for the fourth straight time following a season-best four-game winning streak.
Nosii allowed three runs and three hits in 5-2-3 innings. The right-hander walked three and struck out one.

THE MORNING BREW Rebirth of the Kansas football program
came to the University in the fall of 2008. The football team was fresh off of an Orange Bowl victory, and expectations were high that the program had turned a corner and would be competitive in the Big 12. Yet I sit here four years later, and the University is on its third coach since my arrival. The Jayhawks also won a paltry five games in the last two years. The school has done some things to right the ship, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
By Taylor Williamson twilliamson@kansan.com
FORWARD YARDAGE
This team needed an energy boost. That came in the form of new coach Charlie Weis. He's a big name who has some impressive jobs on his resume. Never mind that he was fired from Notre Dame after underachieving. If the Jayhawks had hired a guy like Auburn coordinator Gus Mahlzan or Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes, there would have been some
buzz, but not enough to start to erase the horrible taste of a 2-10 season.
Second, the team also got itself a talented quarterback. I watched Dayne Crist make throws in the spring game, and it was exciting to see someone who can perform.
And, third, you've got a guy in charge of Kansas Athletics who truly cares about Kansas sports. Lew Perkins seemed to care more about gym equipment than the reputation of his university. That's not the feeling you get
from listening to Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger.
NEXT PLAY CALL
First and foremost, don't get blown out. Winning is great, but Turner Gill didn't get fired just because he lost. He was canned because of how he lost. Putting up a grand total of seven points and allowing more than 100 combined
points in two games against Texas and Texas A&M should not be tolerated by any school in a power conference. Weis must get his team ready to play every week and must stay competitive to keep fans interested.
Kansas also has to get its facilities up to par for a Big 12 school. The practice fields and the updated Anderson Family Football Complex are great. But the stadium is still stuck in the 20th century. No football field should double as an outdoor track facility. Perkins tried to
KU
THE OUTLOOK
get the ball rolling with the Gridiron Club, but when your team can barely fill the stadium halfway for games, it is not the time to add luxury box seating.
This team is off to a good start in the recovery process, but there's only so much the school can do. It's also up to the fans to support the football team. And, hopefully, for the sake of the University, that support will be there come September.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawk, student, Bronco
Steven Johnson arrived at the University like most of us. Will you be kind of like us
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Well, he was kind of like most of us. And the unique thing about Johnson is that he'll leave the University still, "kind of like most of us," even though his first job will be playing football for the Denver Broncos.
Johnson lived at Oliver Hall his freshman and sophomore years. He was a walk-on linebacker for the Kansas football team. He once said that people would laugh when he told them he was going to play for the Jayhawks. Who would believe that about a kid living in a regular dorm?
Johnson got to experience the traditional student life at the University, and for that reason. Johnson is the player to remember from Kansas Athletics this year. He stood out not just for his talents on the field, but for his personality off of it.
Johnson described his freshman self as a "fat kid," even though he'll soon leave the University as a piece of muscle. Most of us would probably say that the opposite happened to our bodies after four years in Lawrence.
Even with that slight difference, Johnson is the perfect representation of what it "means" to be a Jayhawk. And it's all because of one of Johnson's muscles in particular — his heart.
Johnson was not the most talented player on the field for Kansas. But what Johnson did lead the team in was caring. If you saw Johnson struggling to walk after the Oklahoma game this season, or if you saw the absolute disappointment in his eyes after the Baylor game, you would understand this.
You would understand the enormous pride Johnson took in wearing his Kansas Jersey every game — Kansas was the only school that gave him a chance. You would also understand Johnson's disgust with losing, and why he put so much effort into trying to win.
Before that Baylor game, his last at Memorial Stadium, Johnson gave a pregame speech that was captured by the "Gridiron" series for KU Athletics. Johnson often gave pregame speeches, but few cause shivers like this one does. Johnson was crying as he pleaded for one more victory with his teammates.
"When you're tired, you've got to get up and go," Johnson said. "You've got to go because losing hurts, man, and I'm not trying to lose today. I'm determined to win. And I hope y'all are with me. This is in my heart, I believe in this thing."
Johnson had 10 tackles and recovered a fumble in a game that was one of Kansas' best in conference play. The Jayhawks gave up a 21-point fourth-quarter lead to lose 31-30 in overtime to the Bears. It would've been Kansas' only Big 12 win.
You see, it's the spirit that makes Johnson like most of us at Kansas. In 10 years, Johnson will be the guy who sees a Kansas shirt on the street in a foreign place and says, "Rock Chalk."
We're fortunate Johnson has had an opportunity to represent our University and will continue to do so in the NFL. So, when you look back on your time at Kansas and you remember the athletes that defined it, remember Johnson, because he'll be one of the few who will remember it like you do.

But when Kansas was in the house, McLemore said, something
Ben McLemore saw them sitting on a stage by the court at Wellston High School in St. Louis. During a district postseason game, Kansas assistant coaches Kurtis Townsend and Joe Dooley were in attendance. Warming up before the game, McLemore saw their Kansas shirts. Scouts from all over had watched him play in his junior season, when he switched positions from a forward to a guard.
was different.
On the first play of the game,
McLemore finished an alley-oop
dunk and screamed toward the crowd.
Townsend and Dooley noticed from the stage.
"I played good that night," McLemore said.
McLemore noticed that once Kansas took interest in him, Missouri faded as a possibility. He soon chose to play at Kansas, but the NCAA obstructed his path by ruling him a partial qualifier after he attended three high schools — Wellston, Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., and Christian Life Center in Houston.
Instead of beginning his time in Lawrence as a slashing scorer for the Jayhawks, McLemore watched from the sidelines as a redshirt freshman who would be eligible to play in the 2012-13 season. Forward Jamari Traylor joined him there after he was also ruled a partial qualifier.
Bradley Beal, McLemore's former teammate in St. Louis, starred at Florida as a freshman this season, and Beal could go as high as No.2 in this summer's NBA Draft. McLemore also knows Duke's Austin Rivers and Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who are off to the NBA as well.
But he didn't want a situation like that. McLemore saw what happened to Thomas Robinson at Kansas. He saw how Robinson braved tragedy with his school by his side. Then, this season from the sideline, he watched Robinson morph into one of the top players in the nation.
"It's kind of weird that all the people I came in here with are leaving now." McLemore said.
"I want to be one of those players." McLemore said.
McLemore tried to make the most of the opportunities he had this season.
He and Traylor watched their
teammates make mistakes, then they talked about it. They rapped or joked in the locker room when the team needed a laugh. They digested what their coaches preached.
"Sitting on the sideline with Larry Brown every game," Traylor said. "He's telling you tips all the time."
Coach Bill Self has been pleased with how both players have handled the irregular situation.
"I'm really proud of them," Self said. "The NCAA put some very strict stipulations on them, and

Freshman outfielder Connor McKay runs into the fence as he races to catch a foul ball hit by his opponent during a game against Creighton earlier this season. Kansas walked away with a victory Tuesday night in Little Rock, Ark.
ANDREW JOSEPH

The Kansas baseball team (18-27, 4-13 Big 12) broke out the bats Tuesday afternoon in a 16-12 victory against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.
After scoring just three runs in a weekend series against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks only needed an inning Tuesday to match that total.
The UALR Trojans ranked first in the Sun Belt Conference in batting average, runs per game and home runs, so coach Ritch Price thought that the Jayhawks would need a shutdown-performance from junior pitcher Thomas Taylor.
With the Jayhawks leading 5-0 heading into the fourth inning, Taylor ran to trouble, allowing four runs in the fourth inning and two in the fifth. The Trojans went on to score seven unanswered runs to take a 7-5 lead, but the Jayhawks offense came back with a quick response.
Junior infielder Jordan Dreiling cut the lead to one after a long
single with the bases loaded. Dreiling said that the offense plans to build on the performance heading
"It's big for our team to come out and put up that many runs," said Dreiling, who finished the game hitting a team best
into the weekend against Air Force and Missouri State.
RITCH PRICE Kansas coach
"It was perfect conditions for an offensive day[...] I couldn't be happier for our guys."
Suiter belted a three-run home run with no outs in the eighth inning, and junior catcher Alex DeLeye hit
four-for-six with three RBIs. "It will help a lot as we look forward to the weekend series down at Hogland."
Kansas went on to score three more runs in the sixth inning, taking a 9-7 lead. UALR would cut Kansas' advantage to 10-9 in the seventh inning, but the Jayhawks' six-run eighth inning secured a much-needed road win. UALR entered the game ranked fourth in the country with 50 home runs. Even though Kansas has only 18 home runs this year, the Jayhawks made use of the long ball in this game.

tage of a great hitter's park, and I couldn't be happier for our guys."
Kansas' 16 runs surpassed the team's previous best of 14 on Feb. 26 against Mississippi Valley State. The Jayhawks' three home runs were also a season high as Kansas earned itself a pleasant drive back to Lawrence.
"You don't want to lose games and have to drive on the bus for eight hours," Dreiling said. "It feels pretty good for us to have high energy. It'll be a good bus ride back."

Lauren Wismer sits in the front row of her biology class in Budig 120. She is in the center section in the seat on the far left. Though she faces forward, she does not see the professor. Instead, she is watching her sign language translator sign the lecture to her.
Wismer, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., was diagnosed as hard of hearing at age two. She said the hearing loss was caused by
medication given to her as an infant to treat ear infections. Her doctors do not know why her hearing is progressively declining.
Before last year, Wismer still heard fairly well, but then her hearing dropped off. She began having to use an FM-transmitter and CART, a closed captioning system for classes. Her professors would wear a small microphone that would transmit the sound directly to her hearing aids while she reads a transcript of what was being said on CART as it is typed by someone in the lecture.
This is the first semester she read sign language in classes. She was encouraged to learn sign language while she was studying at the University of Illinois because she was struggling in classes. She was a member of the diving team and dived there for two years until she broke her back.
"Since I've started using sign language I have done a lot better," Wisner said. "I wish I had started signing sooner."

University reminds students to safely celebrate stop day
Tomorrow's Stop Day marks the beginning of the final stretch for University students. Some will use the day to rest or study and others will use it to detox after celebrating the semester's close tonight.
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
Because students are expected to party tonight, the Jayhawk Buddy System is advocating for students to drink safely by handing out t-shirts on Wescoe Beach from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"We know it's a traditional party night," said Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student affairs. "We're not
really asking anybody to change their behavior, but instead to think ahead so that they make it home safely."
Anyone going out tonight is asked to eat before drinking, rotate alcoholic drinks with water and to start home by 1:30 a.m. DeSalvo said they are asking students to leave a little before the bars close to limit the cumulative effect of alcohol.
"Those last drinks build on earlier drinks ingested," DeSalvo said. "Usually they don't hit students until they are at home, and by that point they no longer be surrounded

Earlier this month, Hannan Bolton joined a group of nine people after winning the election for student body president.
It wasn't an afterparty. It was the list of women who have been elected president in Student Senate's almost 70-year history.
"Looking back, I feel like a lot of people might not have had faith in me simply because I was a female," said Bolton, a junior from St. Libory, Neb. "I still feel like we've come along way over the past few years in accepting women in leadership roles."
Throughout her campaign, she never felt like people were judging her or treating her differently because she was a women, which she credits to an increase in women leaders on campus, like Bernadette Gray-Little, the University's first female chancellor.
Senate as a freshman and tried to run for president her sophomore year, but lost the nomination for reasons she thinks were based on her gender. The next year, she won the nomination and election and became the University's first female student body president in 12 years. While most of her time in office was positive, she felt she was treated unfairly by some male administrators.
Although more women are now in high profile positions, they still earn 77 cents for every dollar that men make, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That struggle for equality was a part of Hannah Love's experience as Student Body President five years ago.
"I think things are really changing here at KU," Bolton said.
CHALLENGES IN OFFICE Love got involved in Student
"There were certain men on

"I think a lot of people, especially younger people, have the mentality that we live in a post-feminist era when that's the furthest thing from the truth."
said she relearned how to talk to men in order to get them to listen to her, using tricks like lowering her voice and trying to make them feel like they suggested her ideas.
Throughout the year, she struggled with how to handle the situation, but received some perspective on how far women have come after talking to her mother.
"My mom would say, 'When I was in school, I wasn't even
campus I wouldn't meet with unless I had another person or another male present because they simply wouldn't talk to me," Love said.
Although she came to meetings prepared and with information on what other schools in the Big 12 were doing, men would repeatedly shut down her ideas until they were proposed by her vice president, Ray Wittlinger. It became such an issue that Love
allowed to wear pants. I wouldn't even have been allowed to run," Love said. "She wasn't even allowed to play sports. Times have changed and they continue to change."
Libby Johnson, the outgoing Student Senate president and a senior from Lawrence, still remembers the effect that seeing Love in that position of power had on her as a freshman.
"I remember watching her give
a speech at commencement and having no idea what the student body president did, but thinking it was so cool that there was a female student body president," Johnson said.
Last year, it was a position that Johnson ran for and won. She felt that being president would give her an opportunity to have a strong voice and allow her access to the resources necessary to make changes on campus.
"I've felt very respected and empowered." Johnson said of her time as president.
But after a while, she began to notice subtle differences in how she was treated or how her ideas were received because of her gender.
After being introduced with vice president Gabe Bliss, people would shake his hand before hers, thinking he was the president. At times, she felt like she had to act more authoritative to counteract assumptions and be taken seriously.
"You kind of have to think extra hard about how people are going to perceive you and be conscious of it," Johnson said.

Johnson said she saw women assuming more leadership roles on campus during her time at the University. In her sophomore year, a third of student senators were women, a number that

Obama, Karzai sign pact to end war in Afghanistan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — On a swift, secretive trip to the war zone, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday night that after years of sacrifice the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan is winding down just as it has already ended in Iraq. "We can see the light of a new day," he said on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death and in the midst of his own re-election campaign.
He spoke after signing an agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai to cover the decade after the planned final withdrawal of U.S. combat troops in 2014. Obama said American forces will be involved in counter-terrorism and training of the Afghan military, "but we will not build permanent bases in this country, nor will we be patrolling its cities and mountains."
"Our goal is to destroy al-Qaida, and we are on a path to do exactly that," Obama said in an unusual speech to America broadcast from an air base halfway around the world.
The president landed in Bagram in darkness, and his helicopter roared to Kabul for the meeting with Karzai, under close guard with only the outlines of the nearby mountains visible. Later, back at the base, he was surrounded by U.S. troops, shaking every hand.
Two armored troop carriers served as a backdrop, rather than the customary Oval Office tableau.
His Republican re-election foe, Mitt Romney, was in New York, where the destruction of the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, set in motion the decisions that led to the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
He ended his lightning visit with the speech delivered straight to the television camera — and the voters he was trying to reach back home.
Romney accused Obama of politicizing the fleeting national unity that came with the death of bin Laden, the 9/11 terror mastermind.
In a statement released by his campaign later, Romney said he was pleased that Obama had returned to Afghanistan, that the troops and the American people deserved to hear from the president what is at stake in the war. "Success in Afghanistan is vital to our nation's security" he said.
It was Obama's fourth trip to Afghanistan, his third as commander in chief. He was less than seven hours on the ground in all. He also visited troops at a hospital at the Bagram base, awarding 10 Purple Hearts.
According to the Pentagon, more than 1,800 American troops have been killed across more than a decade of war in Afghanistan.
Some 88,000 remain stationed
there.
The wars here and in Iraq combined have cost almost $1.3 trillion And recent polls show that up to 60 percent of Americans oppose the continued U.S. presence in Afghanistan.
In his speech to the nation Obama said, "I recognize many Americans are tired of war"
He said that last year, "we removed 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Another 23,000 will leave by the end of the summer. After that, reductions will continue at a steady pace, with more of our troops coming home. And as our coalition agreed, by the end of 2014 the Afghans will be fully responsible for the security of their country."
Without mentioning the political campaign back home, Obama claimed that on his watch the fortunes of the terrorists have suffered mightily.
Over the past three years "the tide has turned. We broke the Taliban's momentum. We've built strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al-Qaida's leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders" he said.
"And one year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed Osama bin laden."

Taliban takes responsibility for explosions in Kabul two hours after Obama visit
...
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Smoke billows out from a compound after it was attacked by militants in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday. Taliban insurgents attacked a compound housing foreigners in the Afghan capital, killing seven people.
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban struck back less than two hours after President Barack Obama left Afghanistan on Wednesday, targeting a foreigners' housing compound with a suicide car bomb and militants disguised as women in an assault that killed at least seven people.
It was the second major assault in Kabul in less than three weeks and highlighted the Taliban's continued ability to strike in the heavily guarded capital even when security had been tightened for Obama's visit and Wednesday's anniversary of the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in neighboring Pakistan.
Obama arrived at Bagram Air Field late Tuesday, then traveled to Kabul by helicopter for a meeting with President Hamid Karzai in which they signed an agreement governing the U.S. presence after combat troops withdraw in 2014. Later, back at the base, he was surrounded by U.S. troops, shaking every hand. He then gave a speech broadcast to Americans back home, before ending his lightning visit just before 4:30 a.m.
"We broke the Taliban's momentum. We've built strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al-Qaida's leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders." he said.
He also said that "the tide has turned" over the last three years.
But the violence that erupted about 90 minutes after his departure was a stark reminder of the difficult task still ahead for Afghan troops as they work to secure their country after U.S. and other foreign troops end their combat mission following nearly a decade at war.
The deal signed with Karzai does not commit the United States to any specific troop presence or spending. But it does allow the U.S. to potentially keep troops in Afghanistan through 2024 for two specific purposes; continued training of Afghan forces and targeted operations against al-Qaida.
The United States also promises to seek money from Congress every year to support Afghanistan.
The attack began with a suicide car bomb near the gate of the privately guarded compound, which sits on Jalabad road — one of the main thoroughfares out of the city, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi said.
Kabul Deputy Police Chief Daoud Amin said those killed in the blast included four people in a station wagon that was driving past the area, a passer-by and a Nepalese security guard. He didn't have the identity of the seventh person killed. The Interior Ministry said 17 other people were wounded, many Afghan children on
their way to school.
Explosions and guntire shook the city for hours as Afghan soldiers rushed to the scene and battled the attackers.
A Western official who had been briefed on the assault said the attackers had breached the perimeter defense, around the compound's parking areas, but had not gotten past a secondary security gate that protects the actual living areas. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the in-
The area appeared to have calmed down by about 10 a.m. NATO said all the attackers had been killed.
The fundamentalist Islamic movement later announced that its annual "spring offensive" would begin Thursday. The offensive comes every year as the snows melt, making both travel and fighting easier as the Taliban try to retake lost territory and intimidate the Afghan government.
Islamist fighters in southwest Mali penalize citizens for breaking religious laws
BAMAKO, Mali — In one town in northern Mali a man has been whipped for drinking alcohol. In another, pictures of unveiled women have been torn down. In a third, traditional music is no longer heard in the streets.
While government soldiers were fighting each other this week for control of the capital in Mali's southwest corner, Islamist fighters were asserting control
over the Texas-sized northern half of the country. The Islamists, some of whom are foreigners, are imposing strict religious law, setting up a possible showdown with Tuareg nationalist rebels who say they want a secular state and who seized northern Mali in March alongside the Islamists. The two groups were once allies might soon be turning their guns on each other.

Residents of the three biggest towns in the north say the Islamist fighters seem to be elbowing aside the Tuareg nationalists and are stronger on the ground.
On Monday in the city of Gao, two men caught smoking hashish were given 30 lashes in front of the police station, according to Hama Dada Toure, a teacher in Gao. One man who had allegedly beaten his pregnant wife was given 10 lashes

Toure said a flexible tree branch is used in the whippings, the blows delivered with less than full force. The last to be punished that day in Gao were two men had been fighting. One man had been cut in the fight and the other was told that when the injured man recovered he would be able to inflict the exact same cut on his enemy.
HAVANA — After controlling the comings and goings of its people for five decades, communist Cuba appears on the verge of a momentous decision to lift many travel restrictions. One senior official says a "radical and profound" change is weeks away.
Cuban government looks at the possibility of reversing travel laws
The comment by Parliament Chief Ricardo Alarcon has residents, exiles and policymakers abuzz with speculation that the much-hated exit visa could be a thing of the past, even if Raul Castro's government continues to limit the travel of doctors, scientists, military personnel and others in sensitive roles to prevent a brain drain.
Other top Cuban officials have cautioned against over-excitement, leaving islanders and Cuba experts to wonder how far Havana's leaders are willing to go.
In the past 18 months, Castro has removed prohibitions on some private enterprise, legalized real estate and car sales, and allowed compatriots to hire employees, ideas that were long anathema to the government's Marxist underpinnings.

Hungarian parliament votes former lawmaker to incumbent presidency
BUDAPEST, Hungary — The Hungarian parliament chose a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orban to be country's new president Wednesday, guaranteeing that his conservative Fidesz party will be able to pass laws at will without interference.
Janos Ader, a European Parliament lawmaker, was elected to a
five-year term by a vote of 262-40. Ader replaces Pal Schmitt, who resigned last month after Hungary's Semmelweis University trimmed his
his doctoral degree over charges that he had plagiarized his 1992 thesis.
Ader
The choice is sure to fan increasing tensions between Budapest and the European Union. The EU and civil rights groups fear that Orban
and Fidesz are engaged in a power grab that restricts basic freedoms and civil rights in Hungary, an EU member.
Ader fanned those fears, addressing parliament in a speech peppered with nationalist imagery after taking the oath of office Wednesday.
"I say to the people of the neighboring countries, and to our allies in the European Union and NATO, we offer them friendship and respect — which also means that we expect the same respect and friendship back." Ader said. "The homeland before all else!"
While Hungary's presidency is largely ceremonial, the head of state has the power to send bills back to Parliament for reconsideration or refer them to the Constitutional Court. Ader, an ally of Orban for nearly a quarter century, is expected to follow his predecessor's example of signing into law every bill that crosses his desk.

The University
The University of Kansas began a campus-wide review of accessibility issues in 2010. The review was led by Fred Rodriguez, the Vice Provost for Diversity and Equity, and Ola Faucher, the Director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Department.
Rodriguez said all members of the campus community were invited, including the AbleHawks and Allies, the campus advocacy group for students with disabilities.
SOURCE: KU OFFICE OF DISABILITY RESOURCES
Elizabeth Boresow, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., is an Ablehawk. She was diagnosed with autism in elementary school.
"It is the opinion of AbleHawks and Allies that it would have been more beneficial for them to take the
When the accessibility review was released, Boresow was not happy because she felt AbleHawk's names were included in the review and they did not participate. In an email she sent to the Kansan in November, Boresow said,
"It is a disability that affects communication, social skills, a lot of sensory stuff." Boresow said.
time to do the report correctly and involve the right people instead of just speeding through everything to get it done. The report is complete and published, there is nothing we can do to 'fix' the fact that we had no chance to be involved in the evaluative process. This is unfortunate because students provide a unique perspective on accessibility issues that staff alone cannot necessarily see or infer."
AbleHawks members Preston Brown, George Li, Carmen Thomas and Cynthia Marta sat down for a group interview with the Kansan in February to express concerns over the misuse of their names last semester. The members said Rodriguez thought they had been
contacted.
According to the group, Rodriguez said he would look into the matter, but their names had not yet been removed from the review. Because the University was searching for a full time ADA coordinator to oversee all compliance issues with the American's with Disabilities Act at the University. [They said they believed the Provost office had been too busy to address the issue.
Rodriguez said students were involved but probably did not attend all of the task force meetings. He said he felt the relationship between the University and AbleHawks had been repaired and acknowledged Boresow's concerns.
Rodriguez said he and the new director of Accessibility & ADA Education, Jamie Simpson, would discuss their concerns in upcoming meetings.
"I think they are making a lot of progress," Boresow said about the hiring.
Simpson began work in March. Over the summer she plans to create a Twitter account to represent the Disability Services office. She said it will be the best way to notify students about up-to-the-minute accessibly issues on campus.
Simpson wants to be able to communicate with the students and faculty directly about issues such as elevators being out or fire alarms, so that they may plan

"I can still move my arms, I can easily do my wheelchair transfers on my own," Li said. "I aim to keep as independent as possible until it is necessary for me to get help."
Currently, Li lives in Lewis hall by himself and gets around campus using a power wheelchair. The decision to use a wheelchair was his own. Li said when he decided
to attend KU the number of hills and the strain they would put on his body made the decision easy.
The University offers several accommodations for students and faculty in wheelchairs. The JayLift Paratransit service is complimentary to students with mobility-related conditions. Students must give the University documentation of their disability to become eligible for the service.
According to the KU on Wheel's website, LayLift rides must be
scheduled. The service will provide rides to students from their home to anywhere inside the city limits between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on days classes are in session. On days when classes aren't in session, students may schedule rides that originate within 3/4 mile of campus. That is approximately the distance between campus and Meadowbrook Apartments.

safely around campus. He is also able to drive onto the handicap equipped KU buses when he needs to travel longer distances.
For students who also use wheelchairs like L1, an open line of communication between themselves and the Disability Services office is key. Cracks in the sidewalks and damaged curb ramps can damage the chair and keep Li from getting to class.
The University makes its best efforts to repair damaged sidewalks as quickly as possible, especially when students like Li notify Disability Services about not being able to reach classes. But some repairs are just too large of a project to complete during the school year.
One such project is a signage project known as the Hawk Route, and their purpose is to direct students in wheel chairs to the best routes to get up hills and around

stairs on campus. It is a $40,000 project. Rodriguez said the money is coming from the University alone with no help from the state or federal levels.
Jim Modig, the Design and Construction Management campus administrator said the signs will direct campus visitors to the easiest way to enter buildings in wheelchairs. For example, the signs would direct people to go to the back of Strong Hall where they would find an elevator to reach their desired floor. He said many students are not aware of this
route.
Because campus buildings were constructed during different decades with different accessibility requirements, the University has had to be creative when coming up with solutions to assist students in need.
Just days after school ends this week, construction will begin to convert Strong Hall room 30 into a designated testing room. A quiet testing room is one of the most common accommodations given to students. Rodriguez said in the fall semester 700 requests
for testing accommodations were made through the Academic Achievement & Access Center. For each request, the center must find a quiet room and a proctor for the exam.
The new testing room will be the first designated room on campus for students who need accommodations. Rodriguez said the room will make scheduling exams simpler for everyone involved. The renovations will be completed in time for classes in the fall.
TECHNOLOGY

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Preston Brown, a sophomore from Wichita, is partially blind. He said because of the technologies made available to him, he has no reason to learn braille and that he does not see his disability as holding him back from anything.
the ADA review also found that the University is not providing enough technological support to students with disabilities.
Students like Preston Brown, a sophomore from Wichita, who has limited vision, and Wismar, rely heavily on available technologies to stay on track and independent in classes.
Brown was diagnosed as a child with retinitis pigmentosa or RP. It causes him to have tunnel vision with added night blindness. He said he has almost zero peripheral vision. When Brown was 14, he was diagnosed with an astigmatism, which causes the optics in his eyes to have trouble focusing. It also causes his eyes to
twitch up and down.
Brown never learned to read braille. He said his teachers continually tried to teach him braille, but his rebellious spirit would come out and he would say no.
"They would always pull me out of P.E. or recess or another subject, so then I would have more homework and that would make me bitter," Brown said.
He said modern technology makes it so he does not have to know how to read braille to do anything.
Brown uses his laptop for just about everything. It reads everything on the screen and what he types. He also has a scanner that will scan papers into the computer for it to read to him.
to bring a handheld recorder to classes. He is also given extra time in a room to himself for tests because he is given a reader and scribe for tests because he cannot clearly see the test.

IT'S NOT JUST A DOG

Lauren Wismer, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., has progressive hearing loss. She uses hearing aids and was just paired with her service dog, Apollo. The pair is new to the University this semester and is learning to take the transition in stride.
The audiologist put the hearing aids on her in a quiet room, but said they needed to go outside to make sure she was not frightened by the sounds from the world around her. This is when Wismer heard her flip-flops for the first time.
The first words she heard were her cousin saying, "Lauren, can you hear me?"
Lauren said her first pair of hearing aids only amplified the sounds, but now she needs a new pair because her hearing loss has become too great for her current pair. This time around she is working with her insurance company to be fitted with a pair that will change high frequency sounds to lower frequencies that she can hear more easily.
The technology does not come cheap, but it helps her keep up in the classroom with the help of her
The University is still looking for the right person to hire to oversee the technologies involved with ADA accessibility. Rodriguez said the campus facilities could and should be better. But he said to do so the University must find the finances to hire an individual to focus on making sure those technologies are available across campus and not limited to a specific library or classroom.
The ADA review committee recently met and discussed the campus animals in buildings policy. The committee found that "owner-accompanied assistance dogs, either certified by the

"My teacher's don't know that I speak, or at least I don't think they do." Wismer said.
Last week, Wismer was introduced to her first service dog, Apollo. His job is to help keep Wismer safe from things she cannot hear. Wismer cannot hear the electric busses on campus because they are too quiet.
Both Wismer and Brown have service dogs.
She also may not hear the fire alarm going off at night if she does not have hear hearing aids in. Apollo is trained to jump on her bed and wake her up and make sure that she leaves the building when the alarm goes off.

Elizabeth Boresow, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., was diagnosed with autism as a child. After attending speech classes to gain confidence around others in elementary, middle and high school, Boresow has become a key member of the University of Kansas music therapy program. She plans to work with other people with disabilities as a therapist.
rown, Wismer, Boresow and Li all understand making a campus like KU accessible is a slow process. Rodriguez
agrees.
He said that Boresow is an example of how the Disability Services office is a key advocate and resource for students with disabilities."
She came to the University because of the music therapy program. She said the transition from high school to college took time.
"My dad and I would practice the drive and walking around campus," Boresow said.
She said she also visited friends who were a year older and lived in Lewis so she could practice being away from home and being around more people.
Though many people told her living in a dorm would be a bad choice for her because she does not like being around large groups of people, she has lived in Lewis for four years now.
"You've got a small community in your floor with people to check in on and make sure you're doing OK," Boresow said.
Boresow can best manage her autism with a lot of practice with things that can be expected. She has extremely sensitive hearing and when a loud unexpected sound like a fire alarm happens, she is debilitated for the day.
But other loud sounds like those she experienced playing in the marching band she can handle because she knows they are coming. She also wears earplugs while she plays.
"It was cool to play those songs that you've always heard," Boresow said.
The University excuses Boresow from classes on days when there is a fire alarm or drill. When construction was done on Murphy Hall, the fire alarm was constantly set off. Boresow's music classes are all in Murphy. She would begin the day then the alarm would be set off and she would miss the rest of her classes.
She spoke with her disability coordinator who arranged for the fire marshal to examine the alarms and remedy the situation.
The University granted her a course substitution so she could take an exercise science class rather than anatomy. She said it is just how her brain works. She cannot remember as many pictures and memorize them as you need to in anatomy.
Boresow was also offered a note taker and extended time on tests, but she did not see that as a way to help her progress in her independence.
"In real life, you're not going to have someone next to you taking notes while you're working with someone," Boresow said.
Independence is important to her. She does not rely on someone to get her to class, but she said other people can be very helpful.
"I think independence is more about setting up a system that you can function in not that its only you in the system," Boresow said.
The ADA review was aimed at helping students remain independent by identifying their individual needs. In the fall, much of the oversight that was done in Disability Services will transition to Jamie Simpson's office. She will then contact the correct University groups to remedy any problems that students have.
Rodriguez said the additions and modifications will end up benefitting the entire campus community, not just the disabled. The construction projects and hirings are expensive, and in a limited government budget, the process is moving slow. However, Rodriguez and the AbleHawks are optimistic about the future of accessibility at the University.
"There are a lot of areas on this campus that pose a lot of unique and significant challenges, but I think we are moving in the right direction that we want to go to be a truly inclusive campus," Rodriguez said.

'Whitney' creator starts new talk show in fall
In the sequels-and-remakes department, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones team up again for "Men in Black 3" (May 25), whether you wanted them to or not, and Jeremy Renner stars as a spy who isn't Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Legacy"(Aug. 3). And, if you've ever looked at Colin Farrell and thought, "That guy reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger," then you might understand the casting of the "Total Recall" remake (Aug. 3), with Farrell taking over the Schwarzenegger role, alongside
LOS ANGELES — Whitney Cummings' NBC sitcom, "Whitney," may have been a critical and ratings disappointment (it hasn't yet been renewed for a second season), but that doesn't appear to be slowing the comedian down. She's set to launch a weekly
talk show, "Love You, Mean It With Whitney Cummings," which will air Wednesday's in the fall along with "The Soup." The show is being described as Cummings' open forum to discuss her favorite topics, which include pop culture and celebrity happenings, life, relationships, sex and more. Meanwhile, the CBS show Cummings co-created, "2 Broke Girls," will be returning for
The summer blockbusters kick off with a team of superheroes: "The Avengers 3D" features Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo; wait, Mark Ruffalo?). "Battleship," based on the game that involved sticking pegs into holes but presumably a little more exciting (let's hope), arrives May 18; "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," inspired by those handsome dolls, opens June 29. "Prometheus," Ridley Scott's sort-of-prequel to "Alien," arrives June 8 and stars Noomi Rapace (the original Girl with a Dragon Tattoo), Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender.

Norwegian crime story adapted to big screen
"Headhunters," the latest Scandinavian page-turner to make it to the big screen, is an almost perfect example of the form. Aksel Hennie is Roger, an Oslo executive who seems to have it all: cushy career, gorgeous Heidi Klum look-alike wife, an attractive mistress, and a home straight out of a Swedish architecture magazine.
But he's subsidizing his lifestyle with art heists. When he plots to steal an extremely rare Rubens from the home of a mysterious newcomer to town, his comfy life turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Based on a Norwegian novel by co-writer Jo Nesbø, "Headhunters" is full of chilly, Nordic calm masking the burning fires of jealousy, ambition and revenge underneath.

Bryan Cranston.
Johnny Depp dons fangs for "Dark Shadows" (May 11), the Tim Burton film based on the '60s vampire soap opera. Snow White turns up on screen in her second incarnation this year (following "Mirror Mirror"), this time played by Kristen "Bella" Stewart, in "Snow White and the Huntsman" (June 1), "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (June 22) goes from page to screen. Michael Winterbottom's "Trishna" (July 20), starring Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire")), is a version of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," set in contemporary India. "Sparkle" (Aug. 17), inspired by the 1976 movie, features American Idol Jordin Sparks and the final screen appearance of Whitney Houston. And the year's most unlikely adaptation has to be "What to Expect When You're Expecting" (May 18), based on the
popular how-to-be-pregnant book and transformed, somehow, into a romantic comedy.
Sacha Baron Cohen returns as "The Dictator" (May 16) — that character he was portraying on the Oscar red carpet earlier this year, when he tossed fake ashes on Ryan Seacrest. Will this start a trend? In "Ted" (July 13), Mark Wahlberg's teddy bear comes to life, in "That's My Boy" (June 15), Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg play father and son; in "Neighborhood Watch" (July 27), Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn defend their suburb against alien invasion, and sometimes it feels like I'm making all of this stuff up, doesn't it? Meanwhile, Tyler Perry returns with "Madea's Witness Protection" (June 29), starring Perry and Eugene Levy as unexpected housemates.

A subway on campus? That's preposterous. What we really need is for Dan to fly a blimp across campus.
Professors don't care about evaluations. They've got tenure and a nice salary to go with it.
I'm beginning to wonder if my cold streak in the FFA is directly correlated with my recent dry spell.
Driver Dan, will you please drive a safe bus route on stop day?
Bladder's full, bladder's full, why does this class have to be so dull?
For the final effing time, sudoku is not about math, it's just numbers!
Since when did Jesus sandals come back in style?
Hey you just woke up, and this is crazy, but I'm your alarm, so get up lazy!
Pillow pet in the library. Girl knows how to study.
All in favor of starting KU balls say aye!
I don't know why but overhearing two very large football players talking about buying umbrellas makes me giggle.
Dear teachers, why have you given me excessive amounts of homework this week?! FINALS are NEXT week!
I've got a mini Etch-a-Sketch, a plastic dinosaur, a Game-Boy Advanced, and a Nerf gun in my backpack. This girl knows how to study.
Thanks KU Endowment. That "Far Above" campaign video is going to take months to live down.
I don't care how manly you are, when a little girl waves to you from across the bus you have to wave back.
Saw some guy at the rec jump roping wearing a gas mask. Creepy.
Yeah, that's what I'll do. Walk up to a girl dancing alone in the stacks and tell them they're beautiful. There's no way that could be awkward.
We don't compliment you in person because we don't want to be the "creepy" guy you complain about.
A subway system named the JayWay? Worst idea ever.
Instead of subway, why not monorail? You could put stations on top of all the dorms, Wescoe, Watson, and the Union!
To the creep looking up my dress as I went up the stairs: next time don't smile at it. I can see your reflection in the door.
If you're wondering who yelled at you while you were texting and driving, it was me. Stop it!
Free food and free red bull from the library? This place isn't so bad after all!

EDITORIAL
Recently, two women were attacked after dark on campus. Although neither victim went to the hospital, the two incidents can serve as a reminder to keep safety in mind when students are on campus after dark.
The University Daily Kansan Editorial Board would like to suggest some ways you can keep yourself safe.
Your friends are a valuable resource whether you're going out to a party or a study session in
Anshutz. Ask if a friend could join you as you walk to your destination. If he or she doesn't want to walk with you, maybe they'll give you a ride.
In cases where neither of those options are possible, make sure someone knows where you're going and what time you should return home. Text that person and let them know when you've arrived, when you leave and when you get back home. On the other hand, if your friend is counting
When you're walking, regardless of if you're with friends or alone, try to stay on well-lit paths.
on you, watch the clock and text that person when the time approaches if you haven't received a text.
Shortcuts in areas without lights open you up to attacks because no one can see you and it would be harder for you to identify your attacker.
Also, keep your hands free. Try not to carry your books
in your arms. Should you need to fight back, it would be easier to do that without things in your hands.
If you're walking to your car, don't keep your keys in your purse or backpack. Keep them out if possible. This will allow you to get into your car quicker without the vulnerability of searching for your keys in a dark parking lot.
Remember that your safety is important. Pay attention to your surroundings and keep yourself
safe. When something is wrong, call the police.
With the end of the semester approaching, final parties will start occurring. Alcohol increases the chance of such attacks. Not to mention that the two attackers from the previous incidences this month have yet to be caught. Protect yourself.

LIFESTYLE
Structured life not best result at times
Checking off items on my todo list can seem a bit cathartic at times. Finishing up those assignments I've long thought about or stressed over and finally crossing them off the list brings a huge sense of relief.
But what about my life before I starting making those lists? Except for those times when I approach the list too rigidly and forget to put items on it which I then forget about until much later, structuring my academic life in this way has been exceedingly rewarding and a stark contrast to how my life operated before.
By Brett Salsbury
bsalsbury@kansan.com
The idea of seeing our lives as a structure is relatable to the idea that our society can be seen as a structure: the way the different aspects of the system are built up, whether they are the way we individually choose to live day-to-day or the way our society operates, clearly denotes the possibilities and limitations of that system.
As an example. I remember once when I actually did forget to place an item on the list and only remembered it the day before it was due. It luckily wasn't worth too much in the grand scheme of my final grade
for the course, but the fact that I forgot it completely clearly shows me how much of a slave to my own system I've become.
As I've mentioned once, this way of seeing our lives as structures translates from a student perspective to a societal perspective. If we continually repeat mistakes, whether they be individual ones such as studying for tests in similar ways and receiving similar grades, or societal ones such as addressing socioeconomic issues like poverty and coming to similar conclusions in terms of action to altering its patterns, then nothing will change. To truly make a difference, the structure itself has to change.
or the dynamics among you, your roommates, and the pile of dishes sitting in the sink. If you don't take any time to think about why the structure isn't working or why it continually leads to less-than-ideal circumstances, then you cannot expect the endresult to be different.
This way of seeing can be applied to any system: governmental politics, the bureaucracy of your office space,
We need to be mindful of how our lives are structured and flip this structure over if we aren't enjoying its effects. Individually, this could mean changing up your study habits if you aren't getting the grades you desire or taking emotional time to step back and recover your sanity by doing other activities. Societally, this could mean analyzing those separate pieces of how systems have come into being and understanding how they could be structured differently to achieve different effects.
Above all, remember not be a slave to the system. It is only when we forget to assess our place inside of one that it can repeatedly take advantage of us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to the article. "Man charged with rape employed by University from Monday. April 30
After having read the article about a University employee charged with raping his 20-year old daughter and him still employed, I was angry. Not angry that he is employed after being charged, no. He is innocent until proven guilty. I'm upset with the University and its staff sending a conflicting statement to students.
I sat as the Student Rights Chair for Student Senate this year. During that time, Dr. Jane Tuttle and Nick Kehrwald, Assistant Vice Provost of Student Affairs and the Student Conduct Officer, respectively, presented the committee with proposed changes to the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities. There was one proposed change that would give the University broad powers to hold students accountable for crimes committed off-campus. This would include actions that could be charged as felonies, most notably, rape or sexual assault of another student. Rights killed this proposal. Federal law already requires action in the case of rape and some members felt that the broad powers wanted were too much.
At present time, the Office of Civil Rights requires that the University take action if a student is accused of sexually abusing or raping another student. That's right, a student only has
to be accused of such crimes to be pulled out of class. Yet, so it seems, a University personnel actually has to be proven guilty. We call that double standards.
It is absolutely astounding to me that the Office of Student Affairs would bring this up for approval by students in two consecutive years, yet there is no such policy in place for KU employees. The point of the proposed change was to protect students that have been raped or sexually assaulted. It was to ensure they would not have to see their charged attacker in class.
This man, supposedly, raped his 20-year old daughter, a woman the same age as many of the women that the Office of Student Affairs, and the University as a whole, wishes to protect. How can we hold students to a higher standard of conduct than University personnel? Administrators would like to keep a student from class for rape charges, but the same would not hold true for a professor? This seems just a bit off. The University desperately needs to rewrite its personnel policies before getting involved in the off-campus actions of its students.

'Mighty Ducks' best example for sequel success
In response to the comments for "The sequel to Anchorman sure to be hit"
Recently, I wrote a column about the announcement of the new "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" sequel. In the column, I argued that the film would be a success because of the power of the cast. I compared the "Anchorman" sequel to "The Hangover 2" and referenced that the movie made a lot of money, but was not necessarily a good film. The response to my column in the online comments allowed some disgruntled readers to tell me to "get some perspective" while another listed several films that were very poor seucls.
I started to lose confidence.
Maybe these commenters are right.
Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about, and I do need to get some perspective. They did list a lot of sequels that were pretty terrible.

This little scene we played out was from the greatest sequel of all time. Yes, Disney's "D2: The Mighty Ducks." Sure, maybe there are a lot of films out there that are cash grabs sequels. Maybe a lot of them are really bad. Maybe the writers and producers of those films don't really care what you think because they got your money.
But in the end, not all sequels are bad. Some even make a film franchise, make the parent company buy an NHL team, raise awareness in

Sometimes a sequel can change someone's life. And that's exactly what "D2: The Mighty Ducks" did for me. I think I've got all the perspective I need.

has steadily increased. And earlier this month with Bolton's win, Johnson and Bolton became the second pair of back-to-back women student body presidents since the 1940s.
Powerful positions for women exist outside of Student Senate. Kimberlee Hinkle, a junior from Wichita, recently took over as president of Student Union Activities and will hold the job until next April.
"SUA to me has been a huge family," Hinkle said. "I think its awesome that you can look at an organization like this and say 'Wow, those four girls are doing great things.'"
OUTSIDE OF SENATE
The position requires her to oversee the organization, coordinate communication between leaders, set up meetings and advise three of SUAs eight student committees. She also has to serve on several University committees.
Hinkle said she has never felt like her gender is an issue at SUA. In fact next year, the other three executive positions will also be held by women.
Equality shouldn't be about deciding men over women but fairly choosing the best candidate for the job, Hinkle said.
Haley Miller is a junior from Kingman and president of the Commission on the Status of Women, a student organization that works toward social and political equality.
Miller said one of the problems facing the University might be that people don't think gender discrimination is still a problem, considering the progress that women have made.
"I think a lot of people, especially younger people, have the mentality that we live in a postfeminist era when that's the furthest thing from the truth," Miller said. "Women are still having to fight for really simple things, like having access to birth control."

PAYROLL FROM PAGE 1A
Eden said the Lied will use a system that allows employees to swipe their IDs to clock in and out.
Faucher said both the Lawrence and KU Medical Center campuses will use the system and all University workers will use it.
She said because both the Lawrence and KU Medical Center campuses are engaged in the Changing for Excellence initiative of the University's Bold Aspirations plan, the human resource department is taking improvements to its business operations.
"We can be more efficient in our HR and payroll processes and be less dependent on out-of-date paper processing." Faucher said.
Faucher said the University is revamping the way it handles payroll to take advantage of upgrades to PeopleSoft, a human resource and payroll management software. She said the upgrades include employee and manager self-service features like the ability to make changes to name, address, W-4 and bank accounts, and allow viewing paychecks or leave balances all online. She said there is also an enhanced applicant tracking system that is integrated with the HR/Pay system for more efficient hiring.

Patricia Krentici, 44, waits to be arraigned at the Essex County Superior Court, Wednesday, in Newark, N.J., where she appeared on charges of endangering her 5-year-old child by taking her into a tanning salon.
Woman takes child tanning
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — A New Jersey mother accused of causing skin burns to her young daughter by taking her into a tanning booth pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a child endangerment charge, and the tanning salon's owner appeared to corroborate her story.
Patricia Krentil faces a second-degree child endangerment charge. Through her attorney, she pleaded not guilty in Newark
Municipal Court on Wednesday morning. Krentcil was free on $2,500 cash bond.
Before Wednesday's court hearing, Krentcil called the accusation a lie.
"It's all made up," she said.
She told The Associated Press her daughter, who was 5 at the time of the alleged incident in mid-April and has since turned 6, got sunburned by being outside on an unseasonably warm day. She said her daughter, however,
had mentioned to school officials when she complained of itching that she had been to a tanning salon with her mother.
Krentcil had told various TV stations her daughter was in the room at the salon but not in the stand-up tanning booth.
Krentcil's attorney, John Caruso, said outside court that she will be exonerated, because the evidence will show the child never entered the booth.

Desalvo wanted to remind students using SafeRide and SafeBus to do so respectfully and remember not to bring alcohol on the rides.
"We've really had a very good year so far," DeSalvo said. "We have had very little problems and I want to congratulate the students on that."
Another way students can work off stress is by attending the Stop Day Fit Fest tomorrow on the front lawn of the Ambler Student Recreation Center tomorrow from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Anyone can attend the free event and is asked to wear clothes they feel comfortable working out in. The fitness class will feature cardio, strength and flexibility training.
"We know working out can help the long and short term memory," Amy Long said, assistant KU recreation services director. "It will be a great way for students to unwind."
All KU Fit classes will also be free during finals week. For a schedule of classes, visit <http:// recreation.ku.edu/programs/fitness/>.

With interviews for vice provost of student affairs complete, students and faculty are now waiting to see which of the three candidates will fill the position.
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of educational leadership and policy studies and member of the search committee, said she thought there would be a decision later this week.
"The search committee has completed its work and that the decision is now in the hands of the provost's office," Wolf-Wendel said. "We eagerly await the announcement of the new vice provost for student affairs."
Hannah Bolton, a junior from St. Libory, Neb., and next year's student body president, said she thinks whomever is selected needs to include students in important decisions at the University.
"When the vice provost is in a
meeting with administration about big issues, that person needs to make sure students are part of the conversation," Bolton said. "They are probably the most connected administrator with students on campus."
Students also have a responsibility to have their voices heard, whether they are serving in Student Senate or not. By voicing their opinions to the new viceprovost, herself, or senators serving on committees, students can be a part of discussions that affect their education Bolton said.
She added she is confident that the provost's office will choose a qualified candidate and looks forward to working with them.
"The relationship between the student body president and the student affairs direction has been strong throughout the years, and I look forward to continuing that tradition." Bolton said.
Outgoing student body president Libby Johnson, a senior from
Lawrence, said the duty of the viceprovost of student affairs is being an advocate for students.
"I think this person should be someone who students can recognize and feel that they can go to with concerns," Johnson said. "They should be visible on campus and interested in what students are interested in."
Johnson said the person selected needs to be ready to navigate the changes coming to education as part of the Chancellor's five-year "Bold Aspirations" initiative.
"Any time you have this many changes happening all at once as we do now, it is important to have people, students and administrators alike who are invested in protecting the student voice at KU," Johnson said. "I view that as the main job of the student government and the vice-provost of student affairs."

CRIME
Arizona man found dead after shooting four people
GILBERT. Ariz. — A man fatally shot four people, including a toddler, at a home in a Phoenix suburb Wednesday before being found dead, authorities said.
Gilbert police said they weren't sure yet whether the man committed suicide.
At a briefing for reporters, Gilbert police Sgt. Bill Balafas said all the evidence points to the shooting being a domestic violence situation. He didn't elaborate.
Authorities said the man was armed with several firearms, and officers
recovered two handguns and a shotgun.
The gunman's identity and motives weren't immediately known.
The genders and ages of the other four victims also weren't immediately released, but Balafas said the toddler was a girl between 1 and 2 years old.
He said the girl was alive when authorities arrived at the scene but was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police said the other bodies were still inside the home.
About three hours after the shooting, a man walked up to the police tape, pointed to the crime scene and said, "I have a daughter who lives in that house."
Police pulled him behind the tape and out of view. Several seconds later a loud cry of anguish could be heard. Minutes after, the same man was weeping and left the scene with police.
The shootings occurred after 1 p.m. in a subdivision southeast of Phoenix that is filled with stucco homes with red-tile roofs.
Witnesses said a SWAT team sealed off part of the area and investigators told residents to remain indoors.

Seattle Police officers arrest a man that threw a glass jar and hit an officer in his face shield during a May Day rally on Tuesday, May 1, in downtown Seattle. The rally turned violent when black-clad protesters smashed windows and thrown objects at police.

May Day demonstrations end in mild injuries and arrests
(AP) - A policeman is knocked out while being attacked by a group of protesters in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
While some protesters clashed with police, the melees were far less violent than ones that erupted last fall when the Occupy movement was at its peak. There were no major disruptions, though arrests were reported — including dozens in the San Francisco Bay area.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Many of the rallies, which drew activists pushing a variety of causes, also did not have the same drawing power that gatherings had last year for the Occupy movement or a half-dozen years ago for May Day rallies for immigration reform.
In recent years, activists in the U.S. used May Day to hold rallies for immigrant rights, but the day has been associated for more than a century with workers' rights and the labor movement both in the U.S. and elsewhere.The U.S. protests were the most visible organizing effort by anti-Wall Street groups since the movement's encampments were dismantled last fall.
OAKLAND. Calif. — Thousands of protesters in New York demanded an end to income inequality and housing foreclosures. Police fired tear gas to disperse marchers in Oakland, Calif. And black-clad demonstrators smashed windows in Seattle and occupied a building owned by the Catholic archdiocese in San Francisco.
Activists across the U.S. joined in worldwide May Day protests Tuesday, with anti-Wall Street demonstrators leading the way in some cities as they tried to recapture the enthusiasm that propelled their movement last fall.
their supporters spilled out onto Fifth Avenue in a confrontation with police amid citywide protests, while thousands later gathered peacefully in Union Square.
In Oakland, the scene of several violent clashes between activists and police during last fall's Occupy-inspired protests, the situation threatened to boil over again when police fired tear gas, sending hundreds of demonstrators scrambling.
Occupy organizer Mark Bray said the mood had changed since the group's first organized events late last year. "There was a sense of novelty to Occupy in October," he said. "Today is more celebratory, and nostalgic."
Marchers briefly flooded the avenue and blocked traffic before police in riot gear pushed them onto the sidewalks. The group chanted: "We are the people. We are united!"
In Seattle, black-clad protesters used sticks to smash store windows and ran through the streets disrupting traffic. Police arrested eight people.
While much smaller in scale, the mayhem was reminiscent of the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in the city that caused widespread damage to stores and forced the cancellation of some WTO events.
In San Francisco, about 200 people took over a vacant building owned by the local archdiocese and targeted in previous protests. Two men on adjacent rooftops lobbed pipes and bricks at officers.
About two dozen protesters were taken into custody as police officers in riot gear cleared the building Wednesday, KGO-TV reported.
Officers also fired "flash-bang" grenades to disperse protesters converging on police as they wrestled people to the ground while trying to make arrests, and used more tear gas on Tuesday night to break up the bottle-throwing remnants of what had been a peaceful rally of several thousand.
At least 25 people were taken into custody during the course of the day, including one for setting a police car on fire, police said.
Authorities said many of the most violent protesters tried to hide in the crowd by shedding their all-black clothes. A spokesman for Seattle's mayor said Wednesday that vandals threw rocks into the mayor's home around midnight but no one was injured.
Police Chief Greg Suhr told reporters he assumed some of the people inside the building were part of a group that vandalized shops, cars and a police station during a pre-May Day demonstration Monday night.

COMMENTARY
Special thanks to all
By C.J. Matson
cimalson@kansan.com
On Thursday, March 5, 2009 my friend and I took an eight-hour drive from
my friend and I took an eight-hour drive from the Twin Cities to Lawrence for the Kansas men's basketball game the following day against Texas. At the time, I was a freshman at the University of St. Thomas, unsure of my career aspirations.
My friend graduated from Kansas in 2008. He was eager to take me to a game at Allen Fieldhouse and to show me around Lawrence and KU campus. He knew how much I loved college sports. This three-day vacation in Lawrence, highlighted by the Kansas basketball game was life-changing.
Before my friend and I drove back to the Twin Cities, one of his friends, who I eventually befriended, asked me if I would transfer to Kansas. I said no because I was afraid transferring out-of-state was unrealistic.
As I was finishing my freshman year at St. Thomas, I pondered transferring to Kansas, but I had doubts that my family and I could make it work financially. After much contemplation and discussion with my friends and family, I decided to transfer to Kansas after my sophomore year to enroll in the school of journalism.

Coaching praises to be for sports image
The Kansas men's basketball team and Allen Fieldhouse will always have a special place in my heart. Countless, indelible memories were created watching and covering the team, ranging from covering it in the Champions Classic and NCAA men's basketball Tournament to witnessing the stupendous final Border War game at Allen Fieldhouse.
I grew up during my time at Kansas. I learned to overcome my fears, my Asperger's Syndrome and the absence of my father.
Leaving my friends and family in Minnesota was difficult, but transferring to Kansas was in my best interest since I was serious about pursuing a career in sports journalism. Plus, I wanted to make the most out of my college experience.
I thank everyone in my life — my mother, sister, relatives, friends, colleagues, etc. — that supported me through good and bad times and sacrificed a lot to put me in a position to succeed. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you as I embark on the next chapter of my life.
My greatest joy at Kansas was my sports journalism work and sharing my thoughts with you, whether it was sharing my University Daily Kansan Sports articles or my KJHK Sports articles, PJ 2 CJ podcast episodes and radio show archives. I thank all of you who took time to read and listen to my work, regardless of whether you agreed or disagreed with my opinions.

When I arrived in Lawrence at the start of my junior year, meeting people and forming friendships was imperative. I am incredibly blessed to have met many great people and to have made special friendships during my time at Kansas that I'll always cherish.

KU professor Michael Zorgry has been awarded a sabbatical to work on how religion impacted James Naismith when he invented basketball.
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
James Naismith could have been the Tim Tebow of his generation.
That's what Michael Zogry, director of Indigenous Studies and Associate Professor of religious studies, plans to explore in "Religion and Basketball: Naismith's Game": a book about Naismith's connection to Christianity. The University awarded Zogry an sabbatical for next fall to work on the book, which will focus on how religion influenced Naismith's life, his creation of basketball and his eventual legacy.
"His religious beliefs were foundational to the creation of the game," Zogry said.
Zogry said that Naismith originally wanted to be a minister but decided to teach physical education at the YMCA International Training College in Springfield, Mass. He said, apart from a basketball coach, the University hired Naismith as a chapel director and director of physical education in 1898. Zogry said it is not widely known that Naismith was a founding member of the Kansas School of Religion, which later became the University's department of religious studies.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said Naismith's connection to Christianity is not secrete among those who have studied him.
"Anyone familiar with Naismith would be well aware of the influence," Marchiony said. "He was universally known for his character."
Marchiony, who has read a few Naismith biographies, said he had read accounts that Naismith actually officiated games his

Zogry said the well-known story of Naismith's desire to create a game that could be played during the cold New England winters was certainly accurate, but he believed it was
He said Naismith belonged to a popular movement of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries called Muscular Christianity.
The movement strived to build character, instill Christian values and promote masculinity through rigorous athletics and other physical activities.

Justin McCay's appeal denied, will not play
The NCAA Subcommittee for Legislative Relief denied Kansas sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay's eligibility waiver request. This means McCay is required to sit out the 2012 season and will be eligible to play in 2013 as a junior.
"I'm extremely disappointed that common sense did not prevail," coach Charlie Weis said. "I have read all of the information on this case and it is a shame that this case resulted in a rejection. I cannot release all of the details of Justin's case as it would be an invasion of his privacy. I can only say that the University of Kansas felt the evidence was overwhelmingly in his favor. I also do not understand why the NCAA had us appeal this case to the subcommittee only to have received the same answer with the same rationale."
McCay, who transferred from Oklahoma to Kansas in January, received the news Wednesday afternoon.
"This is a very disappointing day for me and my family," he said. "I was very hopeful throughout the process that I would receive a more favorable result, but unfortunately that is not how things turned out."
"I am so grateful to all of the people who worked so hard on my behalf throughout this process. First of all, I would like to thank the compliance staff at KU for all of the effort they put in to submitting my waiver request. I would also like to thank the Athletics Director at the University of Oklahoma, Joe Castiglione, for his assistance and support. Lastly, I would like to thank Coach Weis, the entire KU staff and all of my teammates in supporting me during this process."
"Despite the disappointment I am feeling today, I have no regrets. I am very happy to be at Kansas and I am going to go out and work hard every day to be the best teammate I can be. Even though I won't be playing in games this year I am going to take advantage of every opportunity I have to improve as a player."

Kansas battles through tough season
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
In the pre-season, it was clear the Jayhawks had a talented roster that could compete with ranked Big 12 foes. The challenge was putting that talent together as a team on the course.
Although the Kansas Men's golf season featured inconsistent play, the Jayhawks found a wealth of talent in young players, and gained experience in several elite tournament.
The unusually warm spring dealt coach Kit Grove the opportunity for more practice time and two extensive 81-hole qualifiers.
Grove discovered two things early in the season. The team struggled to put together a well-grounded game on any given day, and found young talent in Dylan McClure. The freshman from Justin, Texas, started his season by leading the Jayhawks with a 17th place finish at Louisiana Classics. He followed that performance with more consistent play, often times recovering from rough first rounds.
"I'll give the young man credit," Grove said. "He's a grinder. He's getting better at making the most of the situation."
K
McClure started several rounds bogeying four of the first five holes this season.
Junior Chris Gilbert from Simi Valley, Calif., delivered the
best individual performance on the Jayhawks' biggest stage, The Western Intercollegiate. At two-over-par, Gilbert landed tied for ninth in what is equivalent to a major tournament in the college regular season.
"He played absolutely rock solid," Grove said after the tournament. "He's been great from tee to green. Now he's finally getting a little bit of confidence in the putter. It was a stacked field and he played shot-for-shot with them."
Gilbert's top-flight play occurred on a top-flight course in Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif., which was designed by famous architect Allister Allister. Kenzie. Despite the added pressure of the tournament, he focused on what mattered.
"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 team's final tournament before Big 12 play happened on the toughest course.
"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."
Gilbert's mentality on the course keyed his solid play this season.
"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."
For the Big 12 championships in Trinity, Texas, the team played on another tough course designed by MacKenzie featuring tough pin placements."It's just a difficult golf course," 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."
With the talent in place and most of the line-up returning the team will look to improve. The focus in the offseason will be on developing course management to gain that mental toughness Grove would like to see in pressure situations.
With Gilbert and McClure returning, along with juniors Paul Harris and Alex Gutesha and freshman David Auer, the Jayhawks will have only one spot open in the starting lineup. Senior Doug Quinones graduates leaving an open leadership role to be filled.

THE MORNING BREW KC a great place for the casual fan
Forbes recently named Kansas City the ninth worst miserable sports city. With the Chiefs finishing their 2011 season at a dismal 7-9 and the Royals sporting a losing regular season record, many diehard fans would concur.
"This is about misery as defined by heartbreak," the article said of the list, "Teams good enough to win a lot of games and advance through the post-season, only to disappoint fans in the end by falling short of a championship."
By Lisa Curran
lcurran@kansan.com
While Kansas City may very well be a "miserable" sports city, it's a pretty good place for less-than-avid sports fans: those who make a few games per year just to be outside, hang out with friends or enjoy a hot dog on dollar night. They miss the games on ESPN, but they turn on SportsCenter for the highlights later. Here are a few reasons Kansas City isn't miserable for the casual fan:
CHEAP AND AVAILABLE TICKETS For Friday's game against the New
York Yankees, the Royals are selling tickets for as cheap as $16. Against teams who aren't the most popular team in Major League Baseball, tickets can be as low as $7, and they rarely sell out. Sure, you might have terrible seats, but you will still get the inside-the-ballpark experience.
CELEBRATING EVERY VICTORY
After the Kansas men's basketball team defeated North Carolina in the Elite Eight this year, coach Bill Self said, "At Kansas, winning is a relief, and losing
TAKING PRIDE IN THE LITTLE THINGS
When fans can't celebrate big victories, they take pride in little victories, such as the Royals' farm system. One ESPN columnist called it "the most bountiful, prospect-laden system in the game." And when there aren't positive accomplishments to take pride in, they might just take pride in the negative ones. After all, they can proclaim that the Chiefs had a valid "Suck for Luck" campaign at the beginning of last year.
KU
SPORTING SUCCESS
Forbes' list failed to include Major League Soccer in its calculations. If it had, Kansas City might have been
bumped off the shameful top 10, thanks to Sporting KC (7-1). Soccer may not be the most popular sport in the Midwest, but this team is certainly performing better than the Royals and Chiefs. The ticket prices aren't too bad either.
If nothing else, fans have the old cliché "misery loves company" to fall back on. Despite the losses, disappointments, firings and season after season of hopes being raised and crushed, fans in Kansas City always have each other. And fountains. And jazz. And barbecue.

How two Jayhawks stack up before the draft

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
THOMAS ROBINSON
The NBA Draft isn't until Thursday, June 28, but scouts already have a pretty good idea of the prospects who could work best with their team. Junior forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor are the two Jaywhaws in this season's draft. Let's analyze some strengths and weakness for each player that could weigh into decisions on draft night.
Height: 6-foot-10 (generous, according to coach Bill Self among others)
Weight:237 pounds
KANSAS
10
Wilson
Strengths
His greatest strength is, well, his strength. Robinson is one of the strongest, if not the strongest player in the draft. You can't say the same for automatic No. 1 pick Anthony Davis of Kentucky. Robinson's strength will help prevent severe rebounding regression as he goes from the Big 12 to the NBA. It could also create easy scores, especially against the plethora of lazy, defenseless backup forwards that litter the league.
Last season, Robinson could only succeed by avoiding foul trouble. Because he played such a significant role in the offense, he couldn't play such physical defense. He often had to let a player score an easy layup because the foul just wasn't worth the cost. In his rookie season, he'll likely be able to use his strength and physicality to become a lockdown defender. A foul here and there won't hurt him like it did in college. His NBA-ready physique only helps.
Also, as documented this past season, Robinson has a wholesome menu of post moves. Assistant coach Danny Manning certainly helped in this department, but Robinson's nonstop work last summer is also to thank. The more ready the player, the better.
Weaknesses-
Robinson occasionally relies on his jump shot too much, instead of simply mauling opponents by the basket. He will need that shot
in the NBA, but it could mitigate his value as a post player. Many talented young players, such as DeMarcus Cousins and Josh Smith, often settle for jump shots when they should be working inside. Robinson should remember what got him to this point and only settle for the open jump shot if the shot clock is about to expire or if teams beg him to shoot.
Robinson sometimes struggles to make proper decisions when double teamed. He probably won't see too many double teams as a rookie, but when he faces one, he needs to use patience and if necessary, pass to an open teammate.
Robinson's biggest knock is that once he arrives to the NBA, he may be too small to play power forward and too big to play small forward. Tweeners, or guys in between positions, have struggled in the NBA. Detroit's Austin Daye is a prime example. Other tweeners have thrived, such as Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley. The team that drafts Robinson is probably hoping his strength and tenacity compensates for his below-average height, allowing him to play power forward.
Best scenario in draft: No. 2 pick overall
Worst scenario in draft: Outside the top 10 picks
Likely scenario in draft: Top 5 pick overall
Height: 6-foot-3
TYSHAWN TAYLOR
Weight:185 pounds
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Strengths-
Man, can Taylor run. He is one of the fastest players in the entire draft, and once he gets going, his speed can completely take a game over. This speed has blessed players such as Ty Lawson and Derrick Rose, who use a quick first step to shake defenders and get to the hoop for a score or an easy assist.
Also, when energized, Taylor has the tools to be an excellent defender. He has long arms and a quick sidestep, making him a difficult defender to shed. He has guarded and succeeded against skilled players such as Austin Rivers, Marquis
After a long summer of practice, Taylor truly improved his jump shot. This was the biggest knock on Taylor's game, but then the conference season rolled around, everything started to click. He wasn't flicking his wrist, he was following through. Then he struggled with his shot in the NCAA Tournament, so scouts aren't sure what to think. This could be one of his strengths or his greatest weakness.
Teague and Aaron Craft. There's still room to improve here.
Weaknesses-
As Kansas fans have come to learn, Taylor doesn't always make the best decisions with the basketball in his hands. He seems to know the right choice in his head, but he doesn't always back that up with his actions. If Taylor can settle down and make better decisions without taking away from his speed, he could become a serviceable point guard in the league. If he doesn't fix this issue, he'll be too much of a pain to play.
Also, Taylor needs to keep proving that he's all about hoops. This past season was a great start, as he became the vocal leader of the overachieving Jayhawks. However his previous three seasons were tainted with suspensions, fights (from Twitter to the football team) and sloppiness. At times, it seemed like Taylor didn't care much about getting better. One of the NBA's biggest issues is that once players receive their paychecks, they lose that extra hustle and passion. Just
as he did this past season, Taylor needs to keep hustling and preserve his current image as a guy who really cares.
Best scenario in draft: Late first round pick
Worst scenario in draft: Late second round pick
Likely scenario in draft: Early second round pick

Los Angeles off to a good start in series against Denver
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES _ The star of Game 1 shot the ball seven times.
Then, before Game 2 was even a minute old, the Staples Center crowd was chanting "DEEE-fense."
Much of the talk entering Tuesday was about the legality of how the Lakers had stopped Denver.
DEEE-fense? That's the desire?
Here? So soon?
Lakers fans have chanted "DEEE-fense" in the past, sure. But they usually waited to do so until the final 60 seconds, not the first.
So far in this series, the final 60 seconds haven't mattered as much as the Nuggets would like. The Lakers won Game 2, 104-100, with a little late drama but have not yet faced as much as a deficit in these playoffs.
This first-round matchup isn't over. As Denver coach George Karl noted before tipoff Tuesday, "it's the first one to four (victories), not the first one to one." And, if you don't think nearly anything is possible in the NBA, you didn't witness what the Clippers did Sunday.
But with things now shifting to Colorado, the Nuggets are going to need the thin air and a whole lot more to find resuscitation.
Running is the only way the Nuggets can make this difficult on the Lakers, who, when the games slow down, can really answer the
They better hope the altitude robs Kobe Bryant of his legs and has the rest of the Lakers gasping to keep their legs under them.
calls of "DEEE-fense."
If this team is capable of assembling a deep postseason run this spring, it will be one of the more un-L.A. runs of all-time. It will be built on the basketball fundamentals - the boring fundamentals - of defense and rebounding.
Defense is what Mike Brown brought to this team and this town when he was hired to be the Lakers coach. It's not an easy sell. Let's be honest. L.A. isn't a defense kind of town. Defense doesn't twinkle or titillate. Defense generally is as sexy as Santa Claus.
If the Lakers are winning and going deep, fine. "DEEE-fense, DEEE-fense, DEEE-fense" it is. But if they aren't winning, Mike Brown will be renamed Mike Beige and his style officially will be the latest thing in Laker colors since Smush Parker.
It took Andrew Bynum blocking 10 shots in Game 1 - more than any Laker ever in a postseason game - to make it OK for Staples Center to go wild over points not being scored.
He mentioned it again to ESPN recently, and the claim apparently sounded so bizarre that it led to spirited debate on the network throughout Tuesday morning.
Bryant has been repeating the theme for much of this season's second half. He maintains this team is championship-capable because of defense and rebounding.
Rest assured, this is still L.A. and still Lakers basketball. Bryant's electric offensive performance in Game 2 - 38 points, a number of
Minutes before the opening tipoff, one of the referees had to come down to where the Lakers were warming up to get Pau Gasol for the pregame meeting at center court. Gasol was preoccupied and didn't realize he was needed. He was busy talking courtside to David Beckham.

ridiculous baskets — was straight out of the early 2000s. When he dunked early and eluded 60 percent of the Nuggets on the floor en route to the rim, no one was thinking about defense.
And, as Denver tightened things late, closing to within four points, what was the crowd chanting then? What was on their minds? "We want tacos!" The reference was to a promotion the Lakers have where the fans can receive free tacos from a fast-food chain.

Karl was the one who initiated the discussion about the Lakers cheating defensively in Game 1. He claimed that Bynum picked up his 10 blocks in part because the referees permitted him to anchor his 7-foot body in the lane.

Coach Brown is off to a good start, yes. But Coach Beige will always be lurking.
"This is not a hot building," he said. "This is kind of a stage, a Broadway stage. It has a history and an energy to it, but it's not one of those where you can't hear... This is more of a stage than an intense building like Oklahoma City or something like that."

Pressure's on to qualify for Big 12 tournament
MAX LUSH
mlush@kansan.com
CHEVY
The Kansas baseball team is 45 games into the season. Only 11 games are left until the Big 12 Tournament begins.
Kevin Kuntz, a junior infielder from Overland Park, gets tagged out at home plate during Kansas' game against Texas Tech at Hogglund Ballpark on Sunday afternoon. The Jahvahs ended the game with a 5-3 win over Texas Tech. The Jahvah's next game will be against Baker at home on the May 17.
The layhawks sit at 18-27 and just 4-13 in Big 12 play, good enough for eighth place out of nine teams. To qualify for the Big 12 tournament, Kansas must finish in at least eighth place.
Six conference games remain on the schedule for the layhawks. One next weekend against in-state rival Kansas State in Manhattan. The following weekend, the Missouri Tigers come to town to finish off the regular season.
Before the Kansas State series, Kansas will host the Jayhawk Classic this weekend. Kansas will play Air Force on Friday and Saturday before playing Missouri State on Sunday.
CLAIR HOWARD/KANSAN
The Jayhawk Classic will be an important opportunity for Kansas to build confidence before going into the two most important series of the season.
Here is a preview of the importance of each conference series remaining;
May 11-13 at Kansas State
This series could decide which team is left out of the conference tournament. The Kansas State Wildcats is the only team behind Kansas in the conference standings at 3-15 and 19-27 overall.
The Jayhawks already beat the Wildcats 8-7 in 11 innings this season in a non-conference game in Lawrence, Kansas had an opportunity.
nity to blow that game open, leading by as many as five runs in the fifth inning. But the Jayhawks let the Wildcats back into the game, giving up two runs in the sixth before giving up three runs in the ninth to tie the game.
Senior third baseman Zac Elgie won the game on a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
The Jayhawks will need to attack Kansas State's pitchers in order to have success in this crucial series. Wildcat pitchers give up runs. They have the worst team-ERA in the conference at 5.62 this season.
The layhawks have the second highest team-ERA in the conference, but it's better than the Wildcats' by more than a run at 4.54.
The biggest mismatch is the two offenses. Kansas State holds the fourth-highest team batting average .277) in the conference while Kansas comes in last at .250. The Wildcats have scored 66 more runs than the Lavhawks this season.
The Kansas pitchers will need to keep Kansas State bats in check and the Kansas hitters need to get ahead early.
Whoever wins this series is likely to be playing postseason baseball. The loser will likely miss out.
May 17-19 vs. Missouri Tigers
It's the last Border Showdown ever most likely. Whoever wins this series will hold bragging rights over their rivals.
Should the Jayhawks take care of the Wildcats the weekend before, it is important that they finish the season strong against the Tigers to
insure that they don't miss out on the conference tournament.
Missouri sits sixth in the Big 12 with a 7-11 conference record and a 23-20 overall record.
Despite the difference in records, the Jayhawks and Tigers match up well according to statistics.
Missouri pitchers have allowed less earned runs, 180 to Kansas' 203. Kansas pitchers more bats. The Jayhawks have struck out 291 batters while the Tigers have struck out 252.
The Tigers hold a slight edge over the lavavhaws in offensive categories. They have a .272 team batting average and have scored 43 more runs overall. The Tigers have slugged 22 homers while the Jayhawks have hit 21, Kansas is more patient at the plate, walking 20 more times than Missouri this season.
Nothing would make a disappointing Kansas baseball season better than taking a series from its fierce rival who is bolting the conference for the SEC.

Toronto hands Texas consecutive losses, win 11-5
- Edited by Jeff Karr
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Blue Jays celebrate after beating the Rangers 11-5 on Wednesday. Encarnación brought in three runs after hitting a home run. Texas deals with their first consecutive losses of the season.
TORONTO — Promoted to the leadoff spot, Kelly Johnson provided the Toronto Blue Jays with some extra pop at the top of the order. Edwin Encarnacion, meanwhile, provided the same power he's been showing all season.
Encarnacion hit a three-run homer, Johnson added a two-run drive and Toronto beat Texas 11-5 Wednesday, giving the Rangers consecutive losses for the first time this season.
Blue Jays manager John Farrell flipped Johnson and Yunel Escobar in his lineup, bumping Johnson up to leadoff for the first time this season.

Johnson said facing the AI's top team was as much of a boost as the change in batting order.
"Sometimes you put a guy in a different slot and all of a sudden they have a different view and maybe a fresh start and it worked out today," Farrell said.
Johnson scored twice and Escobar had three hits in the two-hole, including a bases-loaded triple.
"Any time you play these teams that are really good, there is a different vibe and a different feel," Johnson said. "When you beat them and they beat them in a series, it gives you a big boost. It gives you a high."
Texas, which blew 5-0 lead and lost 8-7 on Brett Lawrie's walkoff
homer in the ninth inning Tuesday, has not won a series north of the border since sweeping a two-game set in April 2008.
"It looks real bad when you lose one you should have won the night before and then you've got to face a Ricky Romero," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I didn't really feel like he was at his best but we just couldn't hold their offense down. We had to score 12 today to win."
Joel Carreno, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas before the game, pitched the ninth for the Blue lays.
Romero (4-0) won for the fourth time in five starts, giving up five runs and six hits in eight innings. The left-hander walked three and struck out a season-high six.
Matt Harrison (3-2) allowed eight runs — tying his career high — and eight hits over 3 1-3 innings. He has given up 15 runs over 8 1-3 innings in his last two outings.
"I've just got to do a better job ot putting guys away and not giving out free passes," Harrison said.
The left-handed Harrison retired six of the first seven batters before running into trouble.
Brandon Snyder put Texas ahead in the second with his first career homer, but Johnson gave Toronto the lead in the third with his sixth homer, a two-run drive.

Disabled student takes case to Michigan court
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A 19-year-old with Down syndrome took his case for high school sports eligibility to state lawmakers Wednesday, arguing that Michigan should join a growing number of states that consider age-limit exemptions for student athletes whose playing careers are delayed because of disabilities.
Under the current regulations, Eric Dompierre can't play high school football or basketball as a senior next school year because he had turned 19 prior to Sept. 1. However, he is asking the Michigan High School Athletic Association for a waiver because his disability caused him to twice be held back early in his school career.
Dean Dompierre said 23 other states allow waivers for students with disabilities. Eight states specifically provide for an age-eligibility waiver for students with disabilities, while 15 additional states allow for waivers from any rule if undue hardship to the student would occur. Athletic association officials confirmed the statistics.
Dompierre, who attends Ishpeming High School in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, testified in front of the Senate Education Committee Wednesday alongside his father, Dean.
When a senator asked whether he'd rather be there testifying or out on the playing field. Dompiere's response was immediate: "Be playing."
Association officials did not attend the hearing, but Executive Director John Roberts sent a letter this week to committee Chairman Phil Pavlov that points out Michigan is in the majority of states that don't allow exceptions to the maximum age. Even some states that do allow waivers have never granted one, Pavlov wrote.
"Something has to be done," the elder Dompierre said. "A solution is already out there."
For three decades, the MHSAA's bylaws have said rules can only be changed by a two-thirds vote of the superintendent and principals of the association's member schools. The letter said numerous meetings were held last year across the state to discuss the age-waiver proposal.
"We are aware of the responsibility to balance the needs of an increasingly diverse student population where the diagnoses of disabilities are exploding as the definitions of disabilities are expanding." Roberts wrote. "We believe these trends explain why local school administrators have continued to request a bright line with respect to the maximum age rule."

The Kansas softball team enters its final series of conference play this weekend feeling like it has nothing to lose. Facing a ranked team with an elite RPI, Kansas believes it really can't hurt its already legitimate case for reaching postseason play.
But it could certainly better its chances.
"We're in a good spot," coach Megan Smith said. "Luckily for us, we have one team left to play and they're in the top 10 in the RPI, so that will only help us. It will not hurt us."
It's a familiar position for Kansas' upperclassmen, who played on last year's team that the selection committee left out of the tournament. Senior outfielder and team-captain Liz Kocon said this time it feels different.
Kansas (31-17, 6-14) face No. 16 Texas A&M (33-16, 13-8) in College Station, Texas, in a threegame series before ending the regular season with an off-week next weekend.
Texas A&M currently ranks ninth in the RPI poll, while Kansas ranks 42nd. A victory, or more, could ensure an NCAA bid for Kansas, which received votes in the ESPN.com/USA softball poll this week.
"I think in previous years we kind of choked under this pressure," Kocon said. "This year we're reacting a little better to it. We're handling the pressure better."
Kocon leads a senior class that ended its final appearance in Arrocha Ballpark with a 5-4 victory over then-No. 24 Texas Tech last weekend.
This weekend against Texas A&M, Kansas faces a pitcher in Mel Dumezich (24-11), whose 232 innings pitched, leads the Big 12 by more than 36 innings. She ranks in the top five in the league in wins, strikeouts (261), appearances (41), shutouts (11), and complete games (36).
On top of her 2.14 ERA, Dumiezich also leads the Aggies with 12 home runs and 38 RBIs.
Smith said Kansas has plenty of tape on Dumezich — thanks, in part, to the Longhorn Network televising the Texas versus Texas A&M matchup earlier this season — and feels it can make offensive adjustments as it did last weekend against Texas Tech.
"We've got a lot of info on her" Smith said. "We've got a great plan, it's just a matter of executing. We don't really have a lot of information on their other pitchers because they don't really throw."
Texas A&M ranks fifth in the conference in hitting with a .285 team batting average, two spots behind Kansas'. 295 average.
Whatever happens this weekend, Kansas won't know its fate until the NCAA selection committee reveals its choices on May 13. That includes a potentially long week of anticipation.
"It's a little bit weird," junior shortstop Mariah Montgomery said. "It will just be kind of a waiting game. That might be a little scary."
Working against Kansas could be that the Big 12 could conceivably send seven teams to the NCAA tournament ahead of the Jayhawks. Smith said it would simply be out of Kansas hands at that point.
"That's our fear is that they're going to look at the Big 12 and question letting eight of nine teams in," Smith said, "But we're worthy. It just a matter of what the committee thinks."
Record Watch ...
Kansas' current team batting average of.295 ranks as the best in school history since 1985.
Junior outfielder Maggie Hull needs two runs to break the all-time single-season record of 46 at Kansas. She also needs 14 hits to break the single-season record of 78.
Junior Mariah Montgomery's 45RBIs put her in fifth place all-time in a single season. She needs five more to pass Maggie Hull's 2011

Organizing chief wants to avoid security trouble
LONDON — London should not be turned into a "city under siege" by the heavy security measures being put in place for the Olympics, London organizing chief Sebastian Coe said Wednesday.
Coe spoke as the British military embarked on operations to test Olympic security, including flights over London by fighter jets and helicopters. Visitors to the Olympic Park encountered lengthy delays at times Wednesday as they went through airport-style security checks.
"We want to make sure these games are safe and secure but at the same time we are not presenting a vision of London that is a city under siege." Coe said inside Olympic Stadium.
About 75,000 spectators are expected at Olympic Park on Saturday for five test events ahead of the July 27-Aug. 12 games.
Typhoon fighter jets from around Britain arrived Wednesday at a Royal Air Force base at Northolt in west London for the test operation, code named Exercise Olympic Guardian. It is the first time that fighter aircraft have been stationed at RAF Northolt since World War II.
The Royal Air Force is also sending Puma transport helicopters and Lynx helicopters carrying teams of snipers trained to intercept aircraft flying without authorization in London's airspace.
"What we will have is a plan that has many levels to it, which will allow us to deal at one end — which is that 9/11-type attack — perhaps down to the lower and the slower type of threat that we may face," said Air Vice-Marshal Stuart Atha, air component commander for Olympics air security. "There is no specific threat and all we are doing is having in place what we would describe as prudent and appropriate measures ... (so) we could react, if required, in a timely and appropriate fashion."
On the ground, British soldiers are also testing missile systems that may be based on buildings and apartment blocks near the Olympic site in east London.
Olympic visitors could also encounter delays just getting into Britain, with a growing furor over recent snaking lines and lengthy delays at Heathrow Airport's immigration desks.

Players need to keep improving

SPRING FOOTBALL NOTEBOOKS
With the Spring Football season in the books, it now falls onto the players' shoulders to continue improving until the coaches can resume practices in the fall. In the spring game, the Jayhawks looked like they made great strides, but summer training will show how disciplined the team became in the first few months under Charlie Weis.
OFFENSE:
Dayne Crist: Crist looked good in the spring game and Weis frequently praised the quarterback he initially recruited to Notre Dame out of high school. In the spring game, he moved around well in the pocket, and made the throws he needed to make. At the same time, the spring game defense was far less skilled than anything he will face this season. The real proving ground for Crist won't come until the regular season starts. He has to prove he has the mentality to become a player who can succeed in games after struggling to establish himself during his time at Notre Dame.
Mike Cummings: Cummings is in position as the number two quarterback, and Jayhawk fans should not fret too much about his lack of production in the spring game, as he was playing with the less talented white squad. Third string quarterback Blake Jablonski didn't do anything special that would apply pressure to Cummings' spot. After the game, Weis came quickly to Cummings' defense and praised his strong arm. Cummings' biggest competition will come when Junior College transfer Turner Baty arrives on campus in the fall. Baty's biggest advantage is that, while Cummings spent last season as a red shirt, Baty gained starting experience playing in
game situations, leading his team to an undefeated 12-0 record.
Marquis Jackson: Jackson showed promise in the spring game, reverting back to his running back roots. Weis might use Jackson and his bigger body more in short yardage situations, which would give him plenty of opportunities to bruise his way across the goal line. While he scored three touchdowns, at times he looked unsure, clearly showing signs that the transition is not complete.
SPECIAL TEAMS:
to it the situation calls for a last minute field goal. As the Boise State Bronco's have shown the past two years, a reliable kicker can be the difference between a BCS birth and a spot in the MAACO Bowl in Las Vegas. But honestly, the Jayhawks will be happy if their season ends in any bowl this year.
Last year Alex Mueller started the season as the place kicker before being replaced by punter Ron Doherty towards the end of the season. While Doherty made three of his four kicks, neither player has truly established himself as the go-to guy in the clutch. In order for the Jayhawks to compete week each week, they'll need a guy they can turn

LEGAL
Pettitte testifies in Clemens'trial
WASHINGTON — With two short answers, Andy Pettit called into question the validity of his testimony against Roger Clemens, part of a discouraging day for prosecutors in the retrial of the seventime Cv Young Award winner.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After stumbling its way to a mistrial of Clemens last year, the government is struggling again in the retrial — to the point that the crux of Pettitte's testimony might be tossed out. First, the exasperated judge criticized the questioning of Pettitte on Wednesday, then he ruled against prosecutors in another matter. Finally he cried out: "You're taking positions that are totally absurd to me."
Pettitite, Clemens' longtime friend and former teammate, was on the stand for a second day in the trial that is to determine whether Clemens lied at a 2008 congressional deposition and hearing when he denied taking steroids and human growth hormone.
"I could have," Pettitte answered. Is it fair to say there is a "50- 50" chance that Pettitte misunderstood?
Might Pettitte have misunderstood when Clemens supposedly acknowledged using human growth hormone to Pettitte in a conversation during the 1999-2000 offseason?
During cross-examination,
Clemens' lawyers got exactly the
answers they wanted.
"I'd say that's fair" Pettitte replied.
The government tried to salvage their witness, but prosecutor Steven Durham's follow-up questions were lacking — at least in the minds of Clemens' lawyers and, more importantly, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. Clemens' lawyers moved to strike Petitite's testimony about the 1999-2000 conversation as "insufficiently definitive."
The judge seemed to agree, openly wondering why Pettitie
wasn't asked for a current, definitive recollection of the conversation. He repeatedly berated Durham, who was also part of the government team last July when prosecutors showed the jury a snippet of inadmissible videotaped evidence, prompting the mistrial.
"I was waiting for you to ask, and you didn't ask that," Walton said.
"My understanding is that (Pettitte's) position is at this time, he is conflicted. ... His testimony now before the jury is 'I don't know,' the judge continued. "I thought that what we would hear is, 'Mr. Pettitte, currently, what is your memory of what Mr. Clemens told you back in 1999?"
In other words, the jury might have concluded that maybe Pettitte did "misremember" the conversation, as Clemens has claimed.
Durham tried to contend that he addressed the matter in a different way. The defense will file a brief in support of its position, and Walton could rule on Pettitte's testimony as early as Thursday.
During his first day on the stand Tuesday, Pettitt recalled the crucial conversation, which took place at Clemens' home during a workout, as: "Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH." Pettitt's testimony — as a reluctant witness with no ulterior motive — is considered vital for the prosecution's case, which otherwise relies heavily on Brian McNamee, a former strength coach for both Pettitt and Clemens who says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.
After his testimony, Pettitte signed a baseball in the hallway and left the courthouse in a black SUV without commenting, free to continue his comeback with the New York Yankees.
Inside, the government's woes continued. Its next witness wasn't even allowed to take the stand.

NAISMITH FROM PAGE 1B
"There was a sense among the upper class that young men were effeminate because there was less of a need to do manual labor." Zogry said.
The influence of Muscular Christianity can still be seen today through organizations like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action. Athletes like Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin, who openly share their beliefs, are examples of contemporary athletes who might have been a part of this movement.
He said the religious influence on Naismith is still evident today through Naismith's legacy.
"The commemoration of Naismith has this reverent aspect to it," Zogry said.
Zogry points out that a brochure where the Naismith Memorial Committee called a precursor to the Basketball Hall of Fame, "The Naismith Temple of Basketball." When the hall of fame was finally built, it included a room full of mock stained-glass windows that honored important figures in basketball history. Naismith's window is on display in the Booth Hall of Athletics.
Zogry said items from Naismith's life are collected and then auctioned off, which he said is an interesting phenomenon. He said there is a memorial to Naismith in the cemetery across the street from where Naismith is actually buried here an in Lawrence. Despite the fact that Naismith's body is not actually there and the memorial is slightly separated from the rest of the cemetery, a few families have chosen to have plots immediately adiacent to it.
"Is it religious, is it not religious? I don't know, but it's on the line," Zogry said. "There's obviously a very important reason that that's where they wanted to be."
Zogry said he expects his book to be published in 2016.

Astros complete series sweep against the Mets

Houston Astros' Jed Lowrie (4) welcomes teammate Chris Johnson (23) at home plate after Johnson hit a three-run home run against the New York Mets in the second inning of a baseball game Wednesday in Houston.

HOUSTON — Chris Johnson had a pair of homers among his four hits and drove in a career-high six runs to back up another solid outing by Wandy Rodriguez, and the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets 8-1 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.
The win gave Houston its first series sweep of the season and first series win since the opening three games.
Johnson's first homer of the season off Chris Schwinden (0-1) was a three-run shot to the Crawford Boxes in left field that put Houston up 3-0 in the second inning. Jed Lowrie and Brian Bogusevic reached on consecutive singles.
Johnson went deep again in his next at-bat, this one a two-run homer to left center that pushed the lead to 5-0. It was the first career multihomer game for Johnson and first by an Astro this year.
Rodriguez (3-2) yielded six hits and a run in seven innings to lower his HRA to 1.64. He has won three in a row and allowed just three runs combined in those starts, after opening the season with two consecutive losses.
Schwinden allowed six hits and five runs in four innings in his second start of the season. He also pitched four innings in his other start this season, an 18-9 loss at Colorado in which he received a no decision.
The Astros tacked on three runs in the fifth inning with an RBI double by Bugusev, and run-scoring singles by Johnson and Jason Castro Johnson added a single in the seventh, but Castro grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Houston piled up 15 hits, including three from Lowrie and two apiece from Carlos Lee, Boguevic
and Castro.
David Wright walked in the fourth inning, stole second base and scored on a single by Andres Torres to leave Houston up 5-1. Wright tripled with one out in the eighth, but
reliever David Carpenter retired the next two batters to leave New York empty-handed.
The Mets had trouble stringing hits together against Rodriguez. They got more than one in an inning just once while he was pitching. A single by Kirk Nieuwenhuis followed a double by Scott Hairston in the sixth, but Rodriguez retired the next two batters to get out of the inning.

Website tracks a crash just past Mexican border
SAN DIEGO — An American yacht destroyed while racing from California to Mexico ended up on the rocky shore of an island just past the border, according to a website that tracks boats by GPS, potentially undercutting the theory that it was crushed by a large ship.
Coast Guard investigators have not
recovered the GPS device but will consider the coordinates as they try to determine what caused the crash of the 37-foot Aegean that killed three sailors and left one missing, agency spokesman Lt. Bill Burwell said Tuesday.
Investigators are also scrutinizing the sailboat's debris, interviewing race participants and seeking records of any large ships in the area. Burwell said.
The GPS tracking information shows the
boat landed on Mexico's Coronado Islands at 1.36 a.m. PDT Saturday at a speed of 6 knots. The coordinates were the last posted by the ship a day after it left from Newport Beach, where the 124-mile race to Ensenada, Mexico, began.
The maker of the device was Spot LLC, a unit of Globalstar Inc. Its palm-sized gadgets track movements of sailors and other outdoor enthusiasts.
Michael Patton, a spokesman for the
yacht owner's family, noted the tracking shows the GPS device landed on the rocks but not necessarily the boat. He dismissed the theory that the boat hit rocks because debris found just offshore was too small.
"Look at the destruction of it all," Patton said. "You're talking about it being squished."
Eric Lamb, who found the wreckage Saturday while on safety patrol, said debris strewn over 2 square miles looked as
if the boat had "gone through a blender," with some of it a quarter-mile from the shore.
The San Diego County medical examiner said Kevin Eric Rudolph, 13, of Manhattan Beach and William Reed Johnson Jr., 57, of Torrance, both died from blunt force injuries. Rudolph's injuries were to his head and neck.

Kansas City defeats Detroit with Getz's single
Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez only allows one hit in five innings in 3-2 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Chris Getz's infield single in the ninth inning put Kansas City ahead, and the Royals held on to beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Wednesday.
Joaquin Benoit (0-1) gave up a double to Mike Moustakas, who advanced to third on a ground-out and scored when Getz hit a grounder that was too deep into the hole for shortstop Jhouny Peralta to make a strong enough throw.
Tim Collins (1-0) got Prince Fielder to fly out to the warning track in left and struck out Ryan Raburn in the eighth for the victory after Detroit tied the game on Brennan Boesch's two-run homer.
Jonathan Broxton gave up a one-out single and got Andy Dirks to ground out into a game-ending double play for his fourth save in five chances for the Royals.
Tigers ace Justin Verlander started two innings by letting the leadoff batter get on, and both of those batters scored. Jarrod Dyson opened the game with a walk and scored on Eric Hosmer's two-for single that ended his 0-for-19 slump. Alex Gordon singled in the sixth and came around on Jeff Francoeur's groundout.
Verlander allowed two runs, six hits and a walk and struck out seven. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner also hit a batter in his 123-pitch, eight-inning outing.
Kansas City starter Jonathan Sanchez gave up only one hit — with one out in the fifth — two walks, hit a batter and struck out two in five innings. Jose Mijares
pitched a perfect sixth inning.
Kelvin Herrera allowed two runners to get in scoring position in the seventh, but Aaron Crow kept Detroit scoreless by getting Ramon Santiago to ground out. Crow, though, gave up Austin Jackson's leadoff single in the eighth, and Boesch made it 2-all with a line drive over the right-field fence.
Kansas City finished a 4-3 trip and starts a homestand Thursday night against the New York Yankees.
Detroit, which hasn't won back-to-back games in two weeks, has fallen to .500 after a 9-3 start.

Rockies beat Dodgers 8-5

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz delivers against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the first inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, in Denver.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Pinch hitter Jason Giambi launched a three-run homer off Scott Elbert in the ninth inning, lifting the Colorado Rockies to an 8-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
With first base open and one out, the Dodgers elected to pitch to Giambi. Carlos Gonzalez was waiting on deck — hed hit two home runs off NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw earlier in the game.
The Rockies took a 2-1 lead into the late innings before it turned wild at Coors Field.
The Dodgers scored twice in the eighth, but Colorado bounced back for three in the bottom half for a 5-3 lead. Los Angeles tied it with two runs in the ninth.
It was the sixth multihomer game of Gonzalez's career and helped the Rockies take two of three against the NL-leading Dodgers.
Gonzalez hit a solo shot in the fourth on a fastball from Kershaw and then lined a 85 mph slider just over the right-field fence in the eighth for a two-run homer. Backup catcher Wilin Rosario also hit a solo shot off Kershaw, who surrendered three homers in a game for the first time in his career.
Kershaw lasted 7 1-3 innings and gave up a season-high five runs. He was on the hook for his first loss since Aug. 7, but escaped with a no decision when the Dodgers rallied in the ninth off closer Rafael Betancourt (1-0).
Betancourt gave up a single to Adam Kennedy to start the inning and then struck out the next two batters. Rather than challenge big-hitting Matt Kemp, Betancourt intentionally walked him to face Dee Gordon.
The plan backfired as Gordon delivered a two-run double to right. Maybe earlier in the game, Gordon's hit might have been just a single. But with Michael Cuddyer playing deep in right, a
hustling Kemp was waved home by third base coach Tim Wallach and just beat the relay home with the tying run.
Jamey Wright (1-1) walked the first two batters he faced in the Colorado ninth and Jonathan Herrera bunted them over. The Dodgers brought in an extra infielder from the outfield, but it didn't matter as Giambi, batting for Dexter Fowler, met Elbert with a shot to center field.
It was the eight pinch-hit homer of Giambi's career and fifth as a member of the Rockies.
Drew Pomeranz received a hard-luck no decision after the bullpen couldn't hold a late one-run lead. Pomeranz gave up one run and four hits over 6 2-3 innings.
Relying on a four-seam fastball, Pomeranz struck out five before being relieved in the seventh with two on and two outs. Matt Belisle got former Rockies infielder Mark Ellis to fly out.
eighth and surrendered a single. Rex Brothers entered the game and gave up a single to Kemp, followed by Jerry Hairston's two-run double down the left-field line.
The Rockies tied it up in their half of the eighth when Marco Scutaro led off with a single and was bunted over second. Fowler followed with an RBI single. Soon after, Gonzalez gave the Rockies the lead with his two-run shot. The player nicknamed CarGo has been locked in at the plate of late, hitting seven homers and driving in 18 runs since April 24.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was livid with a call by Tim Welke at first that ended a threat in the sixth. With a runner on, Hairston sent a roller into the hole that third baseman Chris Nelson snared and came up throwing. But his throw was off target and pulled Todd Helton off the bag.
peration. He had words with Welke, before pleading with plate umpire Paul Schrieber. The call stood and the inning was over.
Welke called Hairston out and Mattingly ran from the dugout with his arms extended in exas-
Rosario gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead in the fifth when he hit his second homer of the season. He was filling in for Ramon Hernandez, who was given the day off after playing the night before.
NOTES: Mattingly said INF Juan Uribe is still bothered by a sore left wrist he originally hurt while sliding into a base two weeks ago in Milwaukee.
Gonzalez tied the game in the fourth when he hit a solo shot. He also homered the night before off Dodgers starter Ted Lilly.
... Despite his prodigious offensive numbers, Kemp was walked intentionally for the first time this season in the third.
FOOTBALL
Green Bay Packers 'boom-or-bust"picks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREEN BAY, Wis. — General manager Ted Thompson has been known to gamble on greatness. But, by and large, his risk-taking has been reserved for the mid-to-later rounds.
Perry and Worthy were inconsistent competitors in college, which isn't atypical for defensive linemen. Still, their level of effort was so mediocre that they are anything but safe picks, at least not in the way that such players as Clay Matthews and Bryan Bulaga were.
Not this year. The Green Bay Packers' top two draft choices, junior Nick Perry and Jerel Worthy, could be categorized as mild boom-or-bust selections along with small-school Jerron McMillan.
It was obvious that Thompson was banking that position coaches Kevin Greene and Mike Trgovac would be able to push the right motivational buttons.
Twenty-seven trades were made in the three days of the draft, and Green Bay, with three, traded up more times than any other team.
Considering that Thompson had moved ahead just three times in his first seven drafts in Green Bay, it truly was a dramatic departure for the most consistent of National Football League executives.
Call it the draft of living dangerously for Thompson.
Rather than resort to superficiality and place a letter grade on this overall draft, let's dig into the eight players. Much of the information stems from countless interviews with personnel people in the last five months on more than 300 draft-eligible players.
Following each selection are two numbers. On a 1-to-10 scale with 10 being the highest, the first number is the player's chance to really contribute as a rookie and the second number is his chance to really contribute during his career
in Green Bay.
Nick Perry, OLB. Southern California (9, 9): Scouts view the high-performing Matthews as one of the exceptions from USC. The Trojans' bust rate has been high. Some personnel people regard USC as a soft program with entitled players.
Perry, who hails from Detroit, didn't give teams pause from a character standpoint. He just didn't play hard. In fact, one scout maintained that if Worthy was a 70 percent-30 percent player in terms of giving effort, Perry was 30 percent-70 percent.
His physical gifts are limitless. He hasn't played to that ability, but there are flashes of him playing D-end in a 4-3 that suggest he can be a terrific pro.
It isn't that Perry wouldn't set a hard edge and therefore let teams run right at him. He has more pride than that. His lack of tempo shows most often as a pass rusher.
It's never easy converting from a three-point to a two-point stance, but Perry has more than enough athleticism and intellect to do it.
Thompson will be relying on Mike McCarthy and Greene, his outside linebackers coach, to get it out of him.
Jerel Worthy, DE, Michigan State (9, 9); He's a little like B.J. Raji, who did his share of coating at Boston College, too. Most collegiate D-linemen do.
But the way Worthy played for the Spartans wouldn't cut it in the NFL. Trgovac, the D-line coach, will let him know every time he gets lazy and plays too high. Ditto for when he loafs in pursuit or doesn't play the defense exactly as it was called.

Editor's Note
I love graduation. I love wearing the polyester gown and the funny shape hat. I love hearing Pomp and Circumstance play while graduates await their diploma. I love the feeling that comes over you when you hear your name announced to receive the diploma. It lets you know that all our hard work has paid off.
Sadly, I still have another year before I graduate from my beloved KU. Even though I'm only a junior I still appreciate the ceremony of graduation. KU has some of the best college traditions around and the graduation ceremony is one of them.
By Kayla Banzet
kbanzet@kansan.com
Walking down the hill with friends and classmates is a great memory to have. I hope the graduates remember all the great times they have had and all the memories they have made as they walk down the hill.
When you finally make it down the hill into the stadium a sense of accomplishment comes over you. I hope that everyone decides to attend the ceremony on May 13. It is a great opportunity for a graduate to be with his or her fellow Jayhawks one last time as they say goodbye to the past and hello to what awaits them.
Congratulations, Class of 2012! Good luck with your future. Don't forget, you will always be a Jayhawk.

Graduate tassels have significance
ELLY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com
In pictures the mass of graduates walking down the hill during Commencement all seem to be wearing the same outfits, but upon closer examination one can find the differences between them. These differences, all of which are small, such as the color of the tassel or the shape of the gown, indicate what school each student is graduating from at the University.
According to past Commencement programs, "Faculty members and graduating students dress for Commencement according to the traditions stemming from the world's oldest universities. The academic dress worn by participants, including mortarboard tassels, not only contributes to the colorful pageantry of the event, but also signifies the wearer's academic discipline and degree-granting institution."
Professor Steven Grabow, an architecture professor at KU who has served as Chief Marshall, Associate Marshall, and as a member on the University Commencement Committee, specified that the graduation traditions that the University follows come from Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England.
These reason these protocols come from those Universities is
because they are the oldest, and establish the protocols people follow. "The mortarboard is from Oxford. The reason the mortarboard is worn by more people in the United States is because they are cheaply mass-produced. The Cambridge style (soft berets) is more expensive to produce."
"The colors of the tassels, velvet trim, and lining, all have significance," Grabow said. "For example, blue-violet is the color of architecture so all the School of Architecture graduates will have blue-violet tassels on their mortarboard. That color also would bethe color of the velvet trim on the master's hood and the trim on doctoral gowns for that discipline."
Although the black mortarboard cap is the same for every graduate, the tassel that is attached is the identifying piece of the ensemble.
Because of this, it is necessary that students buy their regalia with their degree in mind. However, while most of the colors in the ceremony have to do with the particular degree, the satin lining of the hoods of masters and doctoral graduates are crimson and blue for KU.
The gown adds the last identification, and serves to separate the different levels of degrees received. The Commencement program states that, "Gown styles
symbolize the level of academic achievement. The bachelor's degree gown has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown has longer, square-cut sleeves, and the doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves trimmed with velvet chevrons. Master's and doctoral gown may be worn open or closed."
Sometimes before the ceremony students add items or extra colors to their graduation regalia, and while it is not allowed, it's hard to control.
"Nowadays, people just sort of wear what is comfortable, so just getting the cap and gown on is an achievement," Grabow said.
When asked if Grabow would ask graduates not to add things to their regalia he laughed and said, "Yeah, but then I would also ask them to wear clothing under the cap and gown, but some people go down nude."
Grabow said he wanted students to remember that the ceremony wasn't just for them, but was also for the thousands of guests that come to the event, including family and friends.
"Basically all of this is about dignity, ceremony, and creating an atmosphere as important as the occasion is. It deserves all of the dignity, and ceremony, and pomp and circumstance because it only happens once in your life."

Seniors recall favorite University memories
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
As the end of the year comes closer seniors are getting ready to take the final step in their college career: graduation. This is an emotional time for students who realize this era of life is ending and another is about to begin.
"It was worth the wait because we got second row seats and experienced the action first hand." Morello said. "We got on ESPN every two minutes and I felt famous."
Tony Morello, a senior from Overland Park, said his time at the University went by too fast. Morello said one of the best experiences he's had was camping outside overnight at Allen Fieldhouse for the game against K-State.
Morello said he knew that night that he went to the best
school in the nation. He said win or lose KU's school spirit is like nothing else in the country.
Kevin jackson, a senior from St. Louis, said one of his favorite pastimes at KU has been tailgating by the stadium for football games.
"I love being outside and going from house to house cheering for KU" Jackson said.
He said tailgating is something both students and alumni bond over and that he looked forward to visiting with old friends every game. Even though Jackson is sad to leave he looks forward to coming back to tailgate as a KU graduate.
"I love getting together with family and friends and grilling out." Jackson said. "We always have a great time messing around outside and socializing."
Ashley Deluca, a senior from Leawood, said one of her favorite memories about KU is going
to Dempsey's every Tuesday with her friends.
"My favorite thing about Demsey's are the hamburgers, they are absolutely amazing." Deluca said.
Deluca said there are so many great places to go in Lawrence but those Tuesday nights at Dempsey's are something she will never forget.
"You just connect with some places more than others." Deluca said. "I had some of the best nights just hanging out at the bar with my friends."
KU is one of the best schools in the nation to be and although seniors are ready to graduate there are many great experiences that will be missed.
"KU has given me so many memories and great stories." Deluca said. "KU will always be my home."

CAREERS
Students start their future after University years
ANNA WENNER

Life changes fast.
Almost in an instant, graduating seniors will cease to be students and start to be something else, somewhere else.
Some will be professionals living in Los Angeles, Chicago or rural Kansas. Others have found a life for themselves in Lawrence, for now, or will go back to school again. Some seniors will decide to continue their education by going to graduate school to help their chances of job placement after school.
Gates said he felt his last four years have gone really fast.
"I decided I didn't want to go to medical school anymore and I know I'll eventually get paid more if I go to grad school," said Michael Gates, a senior from Coffeyville. "Plus it's more fun to go to school than working all the time and I've learned all the basics for my major and area of study, which will help because I want to be a GTA."
"I look forward most to having my degree," he added.
Some seniors have also decided to remain at their current jobs and will use their education later on. Jori Krenzel, a senior from Chanute, enjoys her work as florist.
"Technically I'm already doing what I want to do for my career," Krenzel said. "But my education from here will help if I ever decide to get a different job. These last four years have gone really fast."
Other seniors have decided to enter the work force after school. One example is Tyler Wayne, a senior from Kansas City.
"I'm going for an analyst job in Chicago," he said. "I really want to be a DJ but I need financial backing for what all I want to do so this will help. I've enjoyed the last four years but I'm ready for a change and I most look forward to the extra time I will have."
Matt Mendelsohn, who plans on taking a job for the clothing company Pink Dolphin in his hometown of Westchester, near Los Angeles.
"They offered me a paid internship and I plan on starting my own clothing company someday," he said. "The life lessons and experiences I've had living here in the Midwest for the last four years will help me.
Mendelsohn also added what he looks forward to most about graduating.
"I took forward to getting back to the nice weather in L.A." he said.
Another senior who's choosing this route is Rachel Mulford, a senior from Lawrence. She plans on helping her dad's business as a bookkeeper and later seeking a similar job.
TRADITIONS
"Even when I was younger, that was always kind of my passion there was never really any other option," she said. "I basically went to school to find out what I really wanted to do, and what I've done here will help when I'm interacting with people and dealing with others along with my lessons from my teachers."
So whether graduation is a happy or stressful time for seniors, they can be sure to find success in whatever they decide to do and leave KU with valuable lessons and experiences.
Graduation ceremony part of Kansas tradition
Edited by Ian Cummings

STELLA LIANG editor@kansan.com
From the moment that they step on campus, University students are immersed into century-old traditions like the "Rock Chalk" chant and Waving the Wheat. There are a few traditions, though, that are less visible but just as special. One of the most anticipated traditions is to walk through the campanile and down the hill to Memorial Stadium for the commencement ceremony.
"I'm looking forward to walk
ing down the hill with my friends," said Julia Bernard, a senior from Lawrence. "I've been watching others walk down the hill since I was a kid, and I can't believe it's finally my turn."
According to a University news release, the first commencement ceremony took place in 1873 with four graduates, and students have been a part of a graduation process since 1907. Back then, they would walk from Fraser to Robinson Gymnasium, or where Wescoe is now. In 1923, the graduation ceremony was held in a
tent because there wasn't a building that was large enough to accommodate everyone, but when Memorial Stadium was built in 1924, the procession was moved there. The class of 1950 started the tradition of walking through the campanile even though it wasn't finished until the following year.
Etter Hoang, an alumnus from Wichita, said that he understood the significance of walking down the hill on graduation day.
"[My favorite tradition] was]
probably walking through cam-
panile and emerging to cameras flashing like you're someone special." Hoang said.
Bernard grew up familiar with the hype that surrounds the graduation tradition, and that makes it even more special for her.
"I've been watching the ceremony since I was a little girl," Bernard said. "So I truly feel like I've been waiting for it for over 20 years."

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
--it's the last *j*ayplay of the semester and I don't know how to feel about this end. Part of me is sad because it feels like the end of a story.
{From the Editor}
TAYLA MCGREGOR
like the end of an era. I will no longer receive about a million texts/emails each day with questions, comments or concerns. I've never been so popular. Not to mention the fact that this is the last time you will all see that gorgeous face as soon as you open up the magazine. That will be the hardest part for you, I'm sure.
At the same time, the other part of me is ecstatic. We have taken a few risks this semester, changed up the design and content, put two absolute off-the-wall characters (that would be me and Lindsey) in charge and it was a success. Both the writers and designers have done me proud, and I couldn't have asked for a better associate editor. In addition to a se-
mester's worth of amazing magazines and new magazine skills, I get to keep the memories of hanging out in the newsroom with a new friend who didn't judge me even when I was so sleep deprived that I no longer formed real words. Thanks Lindsev, it's been real.
For me, I will be traveling to Dakar, Senegal for a study abroad program. I will be enriching myself in the culture, staying with a host family, learning about public health and education in Senegal in French and learning Wolof. All of these things will be new for me and I cannot wait to get out of my comfort zone and into a new world of stories to bring back.
So what's next? We all part our separate ways in that cliche scene in the movie with all of us crying, then doing a blood brothers ritual and getting matching tattoos that say "Jayplay fo' lyfe." Okay maybe not. But this does mean a fresh beginning, starting this summer.
For those of you graduating, I wish you all the best in the real world. Check out the feature on page eight to see different programs you might want to get involved with abroad if you don't have concrete plans for the future. For everyone else, I hope you enjoyed the semester under the Reign of Nadia for Jayplay. It's been real.

Amy Warner
Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, is a graduate student in communication Studies. She studied psychology and human sexuality at KU and the University of Amsterdam.
Email questions to michelle@michellemacbain.com
Dear Michelle
I'm curious about bestiality, I heard it is common, but is it risky? Will I go to jail, catch something, or get an animal pregnant?
More Than Your Typical Animal Lover
Dear MTYTYI.
Bestiality is the sexual activity with an animal. Zoosexuality involves romantic and sexual desire for an animal. While both are considered a mental disorder, the act of sex with an animal is illegal, the desire is not.
While sexual activity with animals does occur, it is not common. Data on bestiality is scarce and what has been reported is consistent with Alfred Kinsey's study. Kinsey (1953) found:
IF YOU COULD BE ANY CARTOON CHARACTER,
WHO WOULD YOU BE? I really like Doug from
"Up." He's so chill and he's fun. Everybody
loves Doug.
WHAT IS YOU FAVORITE ANIMAL? Moose. I saw one walking into a Walmart once when I was in Alaska and thought it was totally
- Eight percent of men and 4 percent of women reported having had a sexual experience with animals at some point in their lives.
- For women, the animals involved were most commonly dogs and cats, and the sexual activities most often reported were general body contacts with the animals, and cunningius performed by animals.
- Female intercourse with an animal was rarely reported.
- Eight percent of men brought themselves to orgasm with an animal.
While you will not impregnate an animal (it is not genetically possible), and there is no data to suggest you will contract an STI, you are at risk of worms, fleas, ticks, salmonella, campylobacteriosis, scabies and other viruses.
MAJOR TURN-OFFS? Arrogance and someone who lies. Also, people who are shorter than me.
If you are experiencing sexual attraction or participating in sexual activity with an animal, speak to a professional about your sexual curiosity and desires. Sexual curiosity, experimentation, and acts should be healthy — mind, body, and spirit. You can find options for sexual exploration that don't involve the family pet.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY? Somebody with confidence who can laugh at himself and who doesn't take life too seriously. I like a good smile. That's always nice.

For Allee Cassel and Hannah Rucker, a music festival was the start to their romance. In August before her freshman year in high school, Hannah met Allee at a music festival in Michigan. The two were inseparable all week, spilling their deepest secrets to each other, thinking they would never see each other again.
However, after they left the festival, they continued emailing and talking on the phone. "We never stopped talking. We ran up a lot of phone bills," Ailee says. That December, they decided to make their relationship official.
One way to prevent overanalyzing is to pursue interests and activities, either alone or together. "Doing small mindless activities together can help. We went on a knitting kick. We felt old but it was fun," Hannah savs.
Last August at the music festival, Ailee took Hannah aside to go for a walk. Ailee pulled out a book that she had made, illustrating the journey of their relationship. "Every page had a charm. And there was an 'I Do' charm that I can't put on my bracelet until we get married," Hannah says. They will be married on July 7.
spending all of your time together. "It gets to the point where when you talk, you have nothing left to tell the person, so you just pick fights," Ailee says.
*Dating tip* Don't try to overanalyze everything.
Hannah, junior from Spring Hill, and Ailee, sophomore from Milwaukee, have had problems with getting into fights because they overanalyze. They say this usually happens as a result of talking all of the time and
When things get tense, Ailee and Hannah suggest figuring out how to fix this before the fighting gets out of control. "We step back and try to think about what is actually going on instead of immediately getting angry." Ailee says. "We've always been really good at seeing what the bigger picture is, which helps you not to overanalyze."

Survival Skills: STAYING HYDRATED
// MEGAN HINMAN
Will Wright, senior from Wichita who rock climbs. must stay to hydrate for all of his outings.
"I have this theory," Case-Cohen says, "that almost any bodily ailment can be improved by just drinking water." In addition to her regular biking, Case-Cohen also rock climbs frequently. She always keeps a gallon of water with her while climbing, as do the rest of the club members.
Alex Case-Cohen, a junior from Wichita bikes to campus at least three times a week from the Connection, which is about three and a half miles from campus at 3100 Ousdahl Road. Every time she has to stop at a light, she takes a drink from the water bottle she keeps on her bike so she can stay hydrated and healthy.
Though we're often told to drink water, we may not realize all the benefits it provides. A study at Loma Linda University in Calif., found that people who drink more than five glasses of water daily are less likely to die from heart disease or a heart attack than people who drink less than two glasses daily.
They may not realize the benefits yet, but Lawrence residents and students are taking one simple step to drink plenty of water this summer — they are buying water bottles. Sunflower Outdoor & Bike, 804 Massachusetts St., sees an increase in water bottle sales at the beginning of every summer, says employee Kristen Nerad, who has a degree in health promotions. This summer is no different.
Nerad suggests using the eight-by-eight method, meaning you should have eight ounces of water, eight times per day, which adds up to 64 ounces, or one gallon. Nerad meets this goal with ease because she carries a water bottle with her. Just keeping one with you can promote regular sipping. "It becomes more routine," Nerad says, "and it makes you want to drink water more often."

Winging It //SASHA LUND
How to find and be the best wingman ever
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CHRIS NEAL
Having a good wingman is about finding the right chemistry as partners in crime.
The Do's and Don'ts of Being a Wingman:
DO:
- Warm up the crowd before your friend is introduced.
- Chat up the friend(s) of the person your friend is interested in.
- Understand the night is not about you.
- Order another round of drinks for your friend when he's too busy connecting with potential dates.
DON'T:
- Steal the target.
- Be rude or offensive.
- Be overly flirtatious.
What's the secret to getting a date with the girl you've been eyeing all night? Relationship experts agree that bringing your good-looking, charming friend along could increase your chances. Greg K, the owner of GK Dating, a social coaching company, says the industry recognizes a term called "social proof," which says that you are judged by the company you keep.
"If you're with cool friends, or even an attractive female friend, who speak highly of you, this will boost your odds of making a good impression on women. It's no different from getting a reference for a job," says Greg. In fact, a study by the University of British Columbia concluded that people pay closer attention to an attractive person, so a good man could improve the way potential look at you. Reasons like this are why son, a dating expert and author Seduction System," says valuable tool wher
Step one: Find your wingman
Before you go out and test your luck, you need to find your partner in crime. Thomas Edwards, the founder of The Professional Wingman, a dating and lifestyle consulting company, says a good place to look is in your own social circle. But, Edwards says, if you don't know anyone that fits the bill, check out nearby bars and house parties.
"Ask if you could roll with them and meet
women too. You would be surprised at how many guys are willing to help other guys," Edwards says.
Greg K says finding a good wingman is much like finding a girlfriend: you have to have the right chemistry together. He also says that he has had luck on websites that match you to wingmen based on your geographic location.
Edwards says it's important to choose the right wingman who will ultimately help you attract the most people. While he says wingmen come in all personality types, they all have an ability to connect with people whether it's telling stories or getting someone to open up.
"A wingman doesn't have to be this amazing Don Draper type, as long as he's prioritizing your love life over his and he can connect with women. The best wingmen are always thinking about helping their friend," Edwards says. Jackson agrees that selflessness is the most important element of a good wingman. He suggests that the ultimate wingman employs a strategy known as "jumping on the grenade," in which he makes a move on the least attractive woman in the group so that his friend will be accepted by the more attractive woman. Moves like this wingman, says Jacksor deal with
"The more we are connected by technology, the faster we lose our ability to really communicate at the core-to-core level with other human beings. Be a more fun and social person — the seduction just comes as a byproduct," Jackson says.
Step two: Use your wingman
Once you have secured a reliable wingman, Edwards suggests taking him out for a test drive. The benefits of having a wingman, says Edwards, will be immediately noticeable. Make sure your wingman is socially savvy however, as Edwards offers this piece of indispensible advice: You are only as cool as your wingman.
"Your wingman should be acting as a logistics manager, and making the connections between you and the girl more seamless. That's the goal of the wingman — he's there to make it easier for you to focus on talking and interacting with the girl," says Edwards.
While your primary job is to connect with someone, Jackson says learning how to utilize your wingman is a necessary skill as well. Your wingman can serve as "opening bait" by warming up the crowd before you join the conversation, to ensure that the person you want to meet will open up to you. Your wingman will also be invaluable in drawing the crowd away from you and the person you're with, so you can enjoy some quality time together.
"The wingman should be seen as the tool or "double agent" of seduction. They act as friendly guys, but they are really understanding the relationships between the girls they
are targeting and assessing how viable it is for his own friends to succeed that night," says Jackson.
Step three: Return the favor
Stephen, a senior, says his first experience as a wingman was unsuccessful, to say the least. He was at a loud, crowded bar and was pushed into a circle of women that were unwelcoming, to say the least.
"I had to go break the ice with the girls, and I could tell right away that they weren't interested. I tried to be funny and make a joke about how there were five of us and five of them, but they obviously thought I was a creeper," he says.
To avoid awkward situations like Stephen's, Edwards suggests being extra-confident and making an effort to understand the situation you're in, so that you can use certain strategies to your advantage.
"With my clients, if I notice their drinks are empty, I order another round. Nothing ruins a conversation more than trying to get a bartender's attention," Edwards says.
Whatever you do, Edwards cautions against any behavior that may come across as rude or offensive — it will ruin your friend's chances of success.
"If you're rude, your friend is also going to be seen that way. If they're thinking 'Wow, this guy is a dick,' they're going to make sure their friend doesn't connect with your friend," says Edwards.

ENTERTAINMENT Get Some Culture Cinco de Mayo, DIY Style
Local bands and artists perform this Saturday at Studio B, a new warehouse venue and art gallery in North Lawrence //ALEX TRETBAR
Evan Herd offers a diverse and inexpensive alternative to the usual Cinco de Mayo bar shenanigans. Herd, 20, put together bands, DJs and artists for a night of hip-hop and electronic music combined with live painting. The party is BYOB and the suggested donation is $3, but Herd says it won't be strictly enforced.
"We're not trying to make money off of it," Herd says. "We're just trying to cover our expenses and make sure the artists get paid."
Brain Food, an electronic guitar/drum duo, headlines the night. Herd says they shift between heavier dub beats and a lighter, popier sound in the vein of Black Moth Super Rainbow. Ryan Forest, a local hip-hop act, two DJs (Gada Beats and DJ ON.IT) fill out the rest of the bill. The show will also feature "Live Art from Brooke and Arai," two local artists who will paint while the bands play.
Herd's dad purchased the warehouse space last November and they've been preparing it for art showings and live events since. Herd's first show was last Saturday and featured local vets Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk.
"I got a lot of good feedback from that show," Herd says. "The band and everyone
there seemed to be really excited that there was a new space that wasn't centered around a bar. It's more of a DIY venue, a place really open to anything. It doesn't have to be just music, we can feature all kinds of art."
The show begins at 10 p.m. this Saturday, May 5. Herd says to take Massachusetts Street across the bridge into North Lawrence. Then take a right before the Burger King, onto Industrial Lane. Studio B is on the left just past the car wash.

Really bad? //KELSEY CIPOLLA
What happens when students stop being polite and start getting real about reality television
In Spanish, reality TV is referred to as "telebasura," a word that literally translates to "television trash." Erin Carlson, a senior from El Dorado, learned the word in a Spanish class and says it pretty tidily sums up her feelings on the reality TV genre.
"It's sad when we have to watch other people do crap to feel better about ourselves," she says.
Despite the harsh words, it doesn't look like reality programming is losing any steam. Since the first season of the "Real World" debuted in 1992, shows that capture people's daily lives, put us in the shoes of weird and fantastic people, and dare us to compete for lavish prizes have become mainstays of network and cable television stations.
They might be trash to some, but many people are still tuning in and trying out, University students included. Last Friday, MTV casting directors came to the Kansas Union looking for prospective stars of "MADE," a show that provides young adults an opportunity to radically transform their lives by setting a goal and trying to reach it with the help of a coach.
One student has already made a successful career out of appearing on reality TV.
For Cassie Rupp, a 2010 graduate who grew up in Dighton, being on a reality show was a once in a lifetime experience. Rupp appeared in the CMT dating show "Sweet Home Alabama" last year. A few months after taping that show, she was approached to be part of a spinoff, "Southern Nights," which features former cast members living and partying together in Savannah, Ga.
Rupp said that the shows were not staged and really do reflect what life was like during that time.
Rupp recalls the only piece of direction the cast received was, "We need you all to be brutally honest with each other and with yourselves. We need you to open up and have
a lot of fun. We just want our viewers to have fun watching you have fun."
Having fun is something that comes naturally to the 25-year-old, who says filming "Southern Nights" involved lots of drinking and partying. So far, there haven't been any moments she is embarrassed to have televised, although Rupp does admit that in one episode of the show she saw herself delivering a speech that she had no recollection of after a night of heavy drinking.
"The next day you wake up and say 'Shit. That was filmed. That was on camera.'" Rupp says.
She doesn't think being constantly on camera is something she will ever get used to, but Rupp didn't worry about what she said or did during filming.
"They filmed, literally, us every second," Rupp explains. "There were cameras, hidden cameras, mics in the beds. There was absolutely no way to get away from the cameras."
Sarah Weaver, a senior from Overland Park, said that she watches "The Amazing Race" and "The Biggest Loser," but tries to stay away from getting sucked into the drama that characterizes most reality television.
"It's like watching a train wreck." Weaver says.
The genre might be wrecking our psyches as well. The psychological effects that reality shows have on us haven't fully been explored, but a study released last year by the Girl Scout Research Initiative said that teenage girls who watched reality TV shows expected life to be more dramatic and were more accepting of using underhanded tactics like cruelty and lies to get ahead. Some of the study's results suggested that reality TV was actually empowering too — 68 percent of girls felt like they could achieve anything in life after watching reality shows. Maybe that includes achieving reality show stardom.

Mann, a Wichita native and opera singer, impressed vocal coach Christina Aguilera during the show's blind auditions in February this year. He has now advanced to the semi-final round thanks to his performances of songs like Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" and a rich, powerful voice that draws comparisons to Josh Groban.

--few others, however, are opting for more unique options, such as providing medical care in New Delhi, teaching English in Zanzibar, or studying culinary arts in Italy. These experiences, called a gap year, offer graduating students a chance to explore various national and worldwide service or learning opportunities. A gap year, which first became popular in the 1960s with high school graduates, is defined by Planet Gap Year, an online gap-year planning community, as a length of time — anywhere from three months to two years — that a student takes off from formal education to travel, volunteer, study or intern. The gap-year option offers recent college graduates a chance to transition into the real world, learn life skills, add to a resume and explore a possible career.

Gap to Real Life

A after graduation, most students expect to be sitting in a cubicle, or perhaps waiting by the phone for an interview. A
Ben Wilinsky, a senior from Overland Park, decided to apply for Teach For America because he liked the idea of making a difference in the world of education. Teach For America is a corps that recruits people for a two-year commitment to teach in public schools. Since the corps was chartered in 1990, Teach For America has reached more than 3 million students.
"I really relate to the cause it stands for. The demographics of a school directly correlate to what kind of education students receive. That concept really resonated with me," Wilinksky, a journalism major, says.
Wilinsky will begin working for Teach for America in Chicago in June. He says he expects that every day will be different, and he is looking forward to developing his personal skills.
"I wasn't interested in taking a job sitting in a cubicle. I'm going to try to be the best teacher I can be, and whether I go into education, journalism or go to law school, I think I'll have a better idea of who I am," Wilinskv savs.
Wilinsky says that Teach For America has an intense selection process. With the
organization emphasizing leadership as an essential skill, he says he went through an online application, oral interview and finally a unique group interview, which involves carrying out a lesson plan, and finally a one-on-one interview. Wilinsky says everyone in the group interview interacts and works in a group together.
"I didn't feel like I was competing with the people in the room, I was just competing with myself. They just want to find the right people, and so we were all trying to help each other out," Wilinsky says.
Jefferson Baum, the recruitment manager for the University, says that the selection process, while highly selective, is not competitive. He says that for candidates to set themselves apart from the rest, they must have assumed leadership responsibilities.
"I think everything that distinguishes a top leader is a learnable skill. Take on leadership responsibility. That doesn't always mean being the president of something. It could mean a responsibility within sports team or one of your classes," Baum says.
Baum also says an important step to take before applying to the corps is educating yourself about the obstacles that students face.
Baum, who served as a Kansas City corps member before joining the staff,says he thinks the best time for someone to consider taking a gap year is right after completing an undergraduate degree. He says that participating in the corps after college gave him a new perspective on life.
"After college, I felt I had a high level of skill. My vision of myself shifted quickly when I became personally responsible for 70 students. Everyone that comes into TFA cares about education and children, but you leave with a very different, more passionate feeling." Baum says.
Lila Givens, the program manager for City Year New Hampshire, agrees that learning about yourself is one added bonus of working with children. City Year, a nonprofit in which members work in schools for one year, has spread to 23 cities with more than 2,000 corps members that each

--pledge at least 1,700 hours. Givens says there is a good mix of all kinds of people, many of which are recent college graduates.
"City Year is a great opportunity for anyone who is looking to make a difference in the world. You serve as a role model within City Year, so it's a big responsibility that really teaches you a lot about yourself," Givens says.
The program, which consists mostly of working in schools in both a classroom and outdoor setting, can help a recent college graduate gain leadership experience, Givens says. A typical day starts with touching base with teachers at the school and then corps members move on to using music or games to get kids in the right frame of mind for school. Then, a corps member can spend their day doing anything from whole class instruction to one-on-one tutoring, and they finish their day by running the "Starfish" after-school program. Givens served as a corps member in San Antonio before becoming program manager, and says she joined after college looking to gain as much experience as possible.
"There are so many life skills that you pick up when you work for City Year. Humility was a huge one, especially when
working with so many people; you can't always assume that you're right. Communication is also something that you can't help but learn when the basis of your job involves interacting with all kinds of people," Givens says.
In addition to effective communication and humility, Givens says she gained valuable experience in event and project planning, which will help anyone in the professional world.
Givens notes that for those who want to join City Year, proving that you can work well with others is an essential skill. Givens, who volunteered for a mentorship program during college, says any experience with children will improve your chances of being selected into the competitive program. If you are selected, Givens says the experience is fulfilling and invaluable to someone looking to enhance their skills or resume.
Thanh Nguyen, the director of outreach and administration at WorldTeach, says that participating in a volunteer organization is great for resume building, even if a volunteer ultimately ends up in another field. WorldTeach, which was founded in 1986 by Harvard professor Michael Kremer, places about 500 volunteers in 16 differer

ent countries — from Latin America to the Pacific Islands — every year. While they have volunteers from 18 to 74 years old, Nguyen says the majority of them are recent college graduates. She says WorldTeach can be useful especially if someone is testing out the teaching profession to decide if it's right for them.
"The international experience that volunteers gain through WorldTeach is of great value regardless of where they end up," Nguyen says.
Nguyen says it's hard to pin down exactly what a typical day is like for a WorldTeach volunteer, but the majority of them work with subjects such as math, science, information technology, entrepreneurship, community health, environmental education and HIV prevention. She says that when volunteers begin their time with WorldTeach they expect to simply be teachers, but through community integration, they leave with a richer understanding of the world outside the U.S.
Maureen Lavin-Arcand, a consultant for Taking Off, a consulting firm that helps prospective "gappers" find an opportunity that suits them, says a gap year can provide a fresh outlook and help a recent graduate narrow down their career options.
"The general sentiment is that even though they arrive in-country as teachers, they have come to realize that the lessons they've learned from this challenging but rewarding experience far outweigh the lessons they've taught," Nguyen says.
"It's really great for kids who are just finishing college, who haven't figured out their life plan yet," Lavin-Arcand says. "Even if they have a plan, getting some experience in another country is a great way to figure out what you do or don't want to do."
Lavin-Arcand says that while she works with people of all ages, recent college graduates have the ideal situation that allows them to take a gap year.
"I think every student should at least think about the possibility of a gap year. It really broadens your horizons and sometimes you can even parlay it into something else," Lavin-Arcand says. "I don't think necessarily that volunteer work becomes a job all the time, but it can help you see what's out there either in your field or in something totally different and unexpected."
GETTING ACCEPTED
With Teach For America accepting only 14 percent of the record 48,000 applicants into the 2011 corps. admission is highly selective. For someone interested in becoming part of one of Teach For America's 43 divisions, the organization offers these tips:
Leadership skills are essential. TSAS motto says it all: Teaching is leadership. While they evaluate every applicant individually, leadership skills are a common thread among successful candidates.
The Corps is diverse. TSA corps members have undergraduate majors ranging from communications to economics to art, and represent Greek life faith-based campus groups and honor societies.
Corps members must have superior interpersonal skills. TSA keeps a list of qualities that most corps members possess, and interpersonal skills remain at the top of the list.
WHAT IS A GAP YEAR?
A gap year is defined as any amount of time taken off from formal education to travel, volunteer, study an area of interest, or intern. Maureen Lavin- Arcand, a consultant at Taking Off, a consulting firm that helps people find a gap-year opportunity that fits them, says the options for gap-years are infinite. After a client hires her. Lavin-Arcand will begin searching for a gap-year opportunity that matches the budget and interests of the client. While the options are infinite, the client must consider airfare, health and travel insurance, out of pocket expenses, visas, shots and equipment, program cost, accommodations (if not included), and food. She shares stories of past clients and their gap-year experiences, which have included:
- Studying yoga in India
- Working with Tibetan refugees in Asia
- Sailing the Caribbean and exploring marine biology
- Learning flamenco dance in Spain
- Working on community service projects in South America
- Teaching in a rural elementary school in Africa

Q&A
with Jonas Stein from Turbo Fruits //KELSEY CIPOLLA
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
From left to right: Kingsley Brock, Jonas Stein, Dave McCowen and Matt Hearn make up Turbo Fruits the southern rock band playing with Deer Tickeet at the Granada on Tuesday, May 5.
Turbo Fruits is climbing up the food chain. The Nashville-based quartet released two albums between 2007 and 2009 before taking some time away from the studio after feeling neglected by their record label at the time, Fat Possum, and facing changes to the line up. Now lead singer Jonas Stein and the crew are back on track, releasing a new album in September and playing their blend of playful, infectious Southern rock while on tour with fellow rockers Deer Tick. Both bands will play at the Granada on Tuesday, May 15.
Stein talked to Jayplay during a 12-hour drive from his home in Nashville to the next tour stop in Dallas.
HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO MUSIC?
When I was 13, I got exposed to punk rock and roll. I started playing in a rock band at a really young age, and I never stopped. When I was 17, I was playing in an older band that I started called "Be Your Own Pet." We got lucky and it just basically became an overnight success. Music is really all I know. That and motorcycles, so I kind of have to continue with this career.
WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT FROM BUTTER, THE NEW ALBUM?
We did it with Jim Eno from Spoon in his studio, Public Hi-Fi in Austin, Tex. It was great working with him. It's been a little dismal lately. Now that we've got all our shit sorted out, we can start pumping them out. And I'm really happy with the team we have behind us now. We actually almost have our next record finished. That just kind of shows how busy we've been staying.
Any rewards that we get, I feel like we have 110 percent earned versus my last project. It was given to us so quickly it was hard to appreciate. It wasn't quite as emotionally satisfying an experience as this band is.
HOW HAS TOURING BEEN?
It's pretty exhausting. You kind of get into the mentality of like you're going to war for a few weeks. You're just like "Gotta get in the zone. Can't think about home for a few weeks." You just try to stay tough and go with the flow. There are fun times and bad times and weird times. Fighting, making up, getting along. Pretty much anything humans have within their emotions comes out on tour.
YOU'VE PLAYED IN LAWRENCE BEFORE. WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF THOSE SHOWS?
We played the Replay both times. We made some friends there. Lawrence is like a place that I look forward to going. I feel like we always get in trouble in Lawrence. The good kind of trouble. I don't know what it is, probably taking a few too many shots and waking up with some stories.
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE COME CHECK OUT THE SHOW?
I think there are a lot of bands out there that try to act a certain way or keep their cool or act like something that they're not. One thing about Turbo Fruits though is that we're a fun bunch of dudes. We express our personalities while we're on stage. I think people feel like they know us personally by looking and listening to us on stage. We get into arguments on stage. We're down to get down and go up to random people afterward. We'll make you have fun, and we'll get rowdy.

Parks and Rec Tearing it Up with Local Skaters
Following months of cooperation, the city and skaters break ground on a longtime goal. //JOHN GARFIELD
100%
As of April 20, Lawrence said goodbye to a landmark of recreation. Tucked away in the valley of Centennial Park at 600 Rockledge Road, the skatepark has been many things to many people over the last 14 years. It has been an unofficial daycare, a venue for birthday parties, a competition grounds and a training facility, but for the time being, it is no more.
The first day of re-contruction at Centennial Skatepark.

But soon, it will be back in spades.
According to Rowan Green, supervisor of Lawrence's #2 park district, the old park served the city for 14 years and was slowly crumbling atop the foundation of an even older tennis court. "It was in disrepair and something had to be done," Green says.
Taylor Brown, 19, has spent most of his life in Lawrence skating the park every day and heartily agrees with Green. "There were safety issues that needed to be taken notice of and fixed," Brown says, citing the cracks that would frequently catch skaters' wheels, causing unnecessary falls.
Under supervision of Green, along with Parks & Maintenance Superintendent Mark Hecker, the city approved funding for the project last year and formed a committee consisting of city staff and community skateboarding activists.
According to David Campbell, member of the Lawrence Skaters Association, there is a core of skaters at the heart of the reconstruction effort that was involved with the original construction 14 years ago.
"I'm new in town but apparently, the first time around, the city didn't give them a lot of respect in terms of their knowledge and their opinions," Campbell says. "When I got involved, they thought their chances weren't good to get cooperation. That turned out to be not true. There was a tremendous amount of cooperation very early on."
Green states that the LSA took a great interest in the project, attending city commission meetings and helping the city narrow down the potential contractors, a process made tricky by conflicting interests.
While the city wanted to tear up the original foundation and re-pour it completely, every estimate the city received projected that this alone would have spent the overwhelming majority of the $125,000 budget. As such, the drafts for potential expansions on the pre-existing obstacles fell short of the skateboarding community's expectations.
Despite the apparent conundrum, the city stayed resolute on meeting the needs of the skaters. "We didn't want to go through the
Eventually, the city and skaters were given a unique proposal from Who Skates Municipal Skatepark Design and Construction, based out of Kennebunkport, Maine. Who Skates proposed that instead of tearing up the foundation, they would build new ramps, ledges and rails atop the pre-existing obstacles.
whole process and have the community say we did it wrong," Green says.
Tom Noble, owner of Who Skates, says that he believes the old park served the city of Lawrence "amazingly well," that he is surprised it held up as well as it did over the years and that he plans on the new design lasting even longer.
After months of deliberation, a panel of two LSA members and three parks and recreation members finally agreed on the design, giving Who Skates the all-clear.
"We were hoping and trying to be the voice of the greater skateboard community in Lawrence and that's where it gets really tricky: trying to get everyone to agree." Campbell says.
Though Campbell admits that getting skateboarders to agree on a design was tantamount to herding cats, the LSA concluded that the Who Skates design did the best job of reaching a compromise. While some skaters wanted a large concrete installation mimicking a drained swimming pool, others desired a layout that better approximated a street-skating setting with benches and stair sets. By following comments posted by locals on the LSA's Facebook photos of the various designs, it is easy to see that they agree more than ever on the current design.
Despite the fact that the design offers a lot for skaters, it will be much smaller than the old park. As a result, the LSA plans to organize a non-profit operation to finance expansions themselves. "Basically we're going to have half the park that's just gone," Campbell says. "Instead of begging the city, we want to raise funding ourselves."
Regardless of whether or not further fundraising will come to fruition, Taylor Brown says he is excited about the current remodel and that he visits the site every day to see the progress that Who Skates is making. However optimistic, Brown remembers to have a healthy apprehension until he sees the final product. "What I'm concerned about is how smooth the concrete will be," he says. "But looking at their other parks, it looks like it'll be good."
Further Expansions
In addition to rebuilding Centennial Skatepark, the city is rebuilding the miniature skatepark outside of Deerfield Elementary School at 101 Lawrence Avenue. Previously consisting of some-assembly-required mail order ramps, in a matter of weeks it will be a brand new, fully concrete beginner's skateboarding facility. Even more exciting to younger skaters who do not have transportation readily available, the old pre-fab ramps will likely be relocated to a third location. The third location, rumored to be Holcom Sports Complex, is yet to be determined.

KU students — in Anschutz Library, The Underground, Watson Library and the Kansas Union — were asked "What is one thing every KU student must do before leaving campus?" Forty-one students were interviewed. Below are the top 20 must-dos as well as a few honorable mentions.
20. Go to jaybowl: "At least once, it's pretty neat. Go there on a Saturday when they bring out the neon lights. It's free."
- Wyatt Robinson, a junior from Hill City
Fact: Jaybowl, a bowling alley on the first floor of the Kansas Union, has free cosmic bowling after 10 p.m. on Saturdays.
19. Go to a class that you're not enrolled in: "I swung the door open — it was like a 50-person class — and I was like, 'It's my birthday!'" — Danny Woodroof, a junior from Kansas City, Kan.
18. Get a close-up of the steam whistle: "I want to go to the building and see how it works." — Tayler Marquess, a freshman from Scottsdale, Ariz.
Fact: The KU steam whistle, also known as Big Tooter, began signaling the end of classes on March 25, 1912, according to kuhistory.com.
17. Get a picture with a KU basketball player: "It was something I wanted to do all year. I finally got a picture a couple weeks ago with Conner Teahan. It was pretty great." — Liv Hunter, a freshman from Madison, Wis.
16. Run around Memorial Stadium: "Mizzou does that. They run around the stadium and lie on the tiger. I think it would
be cool if we did something similar"
— Maia Bridges, a sophomore from O'Fallon, Ill.
15. Meet Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, "I'd like to talk to the chancellor."
— Goyland Williams, a graduate student from Houston, Texas
14. Chalk Jayhawk Boulevard: "We played a prank on our guy friends and we chalked the entire campus with all of their names saying that they were having a party at their house and that everyone was invited. It rained the next day." Abby Vickers, a junior from Kansas City, Kan.
13. Storm Mass Street when we win the national championship: "WHEN we win, because we will...next year." — James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
12. Get a picture with Big Jay: "I want to take a picture with him outside of the Kansas Union." — Karen Nitisingkarin, a graduate student from Bangkok, Thailand
11. Walk under the Campanile: "But not until I graduate." — Andrew Saunders, a junior from Overland Park.
Fact: Myth has it that those KU students who walk through the Campanile before they graduate will not graduate on time.
10. See Bill Self without his toupee:
"That's something I've always been interested in. It looks so real. I think he has the sides still, but not the top." — Killian Cull,
a sophomore from Overland Park.
Fact: Bill Self's toupee has a Twitter account. The bio for the account says, "Bill
Self doesn't wear me. I wear Bill Self.
9. Streak through campus: "It's hot outside you know. It makes sense." — Maggie Swanston, a junior from Southlake, Texas
8. Tailgate for a KU football game: "It just seems like a cool thing to do."
— Josh Wichman, a junior from Milwaukee, Wis.
7. Go to every bar in Lawrence: "Every bar in Lawrence before I graduate, but not in one night." — Jackie Wing, a sophomore from Shawnee
6. Be on the cover of the UDK; "I want to get my picture on the cover." — Sarah Cazares, a freshman from Overland Park
5. Sit front row at a KU basketball game: "We've gotten close, but not front row." — Mackenzie Viets, a freshman from Greenwood, Mo. and Abby Lewis, a freshman from Tulsa, Okla.
4. Campout on a building on Jayhawk Boulevard: "I want to camp out on Lip-pincott. I was told it's really easy to get up there and I feel it would be a really good view of campus. I've never actually even been in the building, but I'd like to be on top of it, for sure." — Max Bearce, a freshman from Johnson City
3. Jump in the Chi Omega Fountain: "On a hot summer day it would be fun to go and do something spontaneous."—Mai Chieu, Lawrence
2. Sled down Mount Oread: "Last year there wasn't any snow really. I felt like I was missing an opportunity." — Josh House, a junior from Stillwater, Okla.
1. Camp for a KU basketball game: "I've never had to, but I think that would be really neat." — Amanda Croker, a sophomore from Wichita
Honorable mention:
Go to the Hawk with Dan the bus driver:
"Is that socially acceptable?" — Meryl
Higgins, a freshman from Omaha, Neb.

BECOMING A MARINE
GOING THROUGH BOOT CAMP, DEALING WITH ANGRY DRILL INSTRUCTORS AND FINDING AN IDENTITY AS A MARINE RECRUIT // SARA SNEATH
GRAFICO DE ABUQUEDA
Sara, on right, while serving in Marine Corps Embassy Security Detachment in Quito, Ecuador.
Every morning in Marine Corps boot camp, the recruits do some form of physical training. They are separated into groups based on their athletic ability. This recruit was in the most athletic group, more specifically, in the very bottom of the most athletic group. It's March of 2004 and the recruits are going for a run. This recruit doesn't know what time it is, but it is early, the kind of early that produces a bluish light, without the yellows painted by the sun's advance through the sky.
This recruit is not allowed to use the words "I," "me" or "mine." When referring to herself, she says "this recruit." To everyone else, she is Recruit Sneath. It is difficult to strike from your language the words you use most often, but one month has passed of the three-month-long training, and this recruit finds it easiest to refrain from speaking, other than two phrases: "Yes, ma'am," as a sign of understanding, and "Aye, ma'am," in response to a command.
It's raining at Marine Corps Depot Parris Island. The South Carolina air is usually eaten, but today it can be breathed. There are 12 female recruits in the group; they run in a two-by-six formation. The drill instructor runs to the left of the formation, next to the third row. This recruit
is on the right-hand side of the third row, one recruit away from the drill instructor. The drill instructor is yelling," Run faster," "Yell louder," "We're going to run like this forever." In response, the recruits yell, "Aye, ma'am," "Aye, ma'am," "Yes, ma'am," as their feet pound the wet concrete.
Maybe it's because this recruit is within arm's reach or because the drill instructor has been working in alphabetical order this whole time and she's finally at "S." Whatever the motive, the drill instructor begins singling this recruit out. "Sneath doesn't want to sound off*," "Sneath is too slow" "Sneath doesn't deserve to be a Marine," she barks. Every call demands a "Yes, ma'am" from the group. Although this recruit's ability has not changed, the drill instructor's target has.
Early on in boot camp, this recruit was conditioned to believe that the only thing she ever wanted to be was a Marine. If Marines didn't breathe, neither would she. She would learn how to separate oxygen from water. She would grow leaves and exist off photosynthesis.She would do anything, but be less than a Marine.
When the drill instructor begins calling this recruit out by name, Recruit Laura, a peaky girl with a high-pitched voice, takes it as her duty to validate the statements. In the military, everyone is
called by his or her last name. Laura has the privilege of having a female first name for her last name. Laura's "Yes, ma'am" responses sound as though she is talking gossip with a friend.
The drill instructor takes note of the tone in Laura's voice and begins directing all her comments toward Laura. "Sneath is too slow." "Sneath doesn't deserve to be a Marine," "Isn't that right, Laura?" Again, Laura responds, "Yes, ma'am," her inflection rising and falling like a head nodding in agreement. The drill instructor continues, "If Sneath doesn't sound off, we're all going to run further and faster."
I know the attack isn't personal. My hatred toward Laura is like the hatred toward a couch on which you stub your toe, for the fifth goddamn time. In boot camp, you barely have time to eat or sleep, let alone learn the first names of the women you eat, sleep and take showers with. I don't know Recruit Laura, but she is in the way of what I want most, which makes me want to play the one-man-band on her face, to turn her into bad Avant-garde art.
The drill instructor takes off on a sprint. We all run after her. The perfectly formed rows and columns become a thin line, like a stretched candy necklace. Laura passes me. She is much faster than me, but today I have something she doesn't: an injured ego. I stretch my arms and legs in front of me as I run, grabbing and pushing the air behind me. I pass Laura, throwing my legs hard against a mud puddle we run through, envisioning myself in a SUV, splashing lowly Laura with mud as I go by. My drill instructor is far ahead of us, unable to see me flip Laura the bird as I ran past her.
One moment, I am running past Laura, my hand in a backward salute. The next, we are in our living quarters; the same drill instructor is making Laura hold the pushup position. Laura faces the ground, her arms bent at 90-degree angles. The drill instructor calls me over, not to let me take joy in Laura's pain, not to let me torment her as she did me, but to hold the pushup position with Laura.
We are facing one another, our feet extended in opposite directions. Laura's face is twisted in pain. Her knees keep
dropping to the deck*. She is a good runner, but has little upper-body strength. The drill instructor yells at us both every time Laura's knees buckle. I look Laura in the eyes, emotionless as I hold my body off the ground. I imagine a game of Twister, hoping the next call will be "left hand, Laura's face."
The weight of the hatred is heavier than my body and much harder to hold. I begin to encourage Laura to maintain the pushup position. If she could just hold a little longer without dropping her knees on the deck, we could get up, I tell her. Her hands slip, but she keeps trying. Eventually, we are told we can "fuck off."
I learned in that moment with Laura that "this recruit" and "I" don't mean the same thing. I am an individual, one who is fulfilled by becoming something different: a Marine. This recruit, on the other hand, is a part of something much bigger. This recruitment is completed not by egotistical desires, but by other people, like Laura.

Editor's Note
Finals week is finally here, fellow Jayhawks. I can't believe that the semester is almost near an end. Before we know it summer vacation will be here and this makes me very happy. But there is one little thing standing in the way of anyone laying next to a pool. Finals week.
By Kayla Banzet
kbanzet@kansan.com
I really don't like tests. I'm terrible at them. Every time finals week approaches I start having nightmares that I miss my test. Recently I had a dream that I slept through my alarm and completely missed my test. I kept waking up every hour to check my alarm.
In real life I always go to my finals but they freak me out. Once the exam is placed in front of me at my little desk I panic. Everything I have studied for flies out of my mind. Multiple choice tests are the worst.
There are so many choices. A, B, C or D: all of the above. Even if I know the answer I always second guess myself. This time around I plan on staying calm on my finals. Panicking makes the test taking experience worse.
If you haven't started studying for finals yet I suggest you get on it. If you don't like studying by yourself teaming up with
classmates is a good idea. If you are missing information from your notes other students typically have notes that are helpful.
Try not to stress out over studying. Staying up all night may be good for some folks but getting plenty of sleep is the best solution. To learn more about pulling all nighters check out Victoria Pitcher's story on page 10.
Remember to get lots of sleep and study hard. Once the last test is taken school will be out for summer and we can all take a much needed break. Good luck on your finals and may the odds be ever in your favor.

STRESS
Students weigh in on how to avoid stress
AVALON COLE
acole@kansan.com
The stress of finals is finally here. This is the time students fill the libraries, zone out and focus on only one thing: studying. This crazy week is usually filled with stress and anxiety, but there are many ways to reduce the chaos and survive finals week.
Lauren Wooden, a sophomore from Overland Park, said that she creates a study schedule to reduce the stress of finals week. She said making designated study breaks and sticking to them helps calm her down.
"I make sure I start early enough for harder tests so I am not cramming at the last minute," Wooden said. "I also wake up earlier to study so I'm not up all night."
Nicole Davis, a professor in the department of French and Italian, said it is extremely important to get plenty of sleep before an exam and to choose study techniques that are specific to your needs.
"If a study task seems too big, break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks," Davis said. "If you pace yourself and build a sense of accomplishment, it is a lot less overwhelming."
Anna Pavelonis, a sophomore from Scottsdale, Ariz., said that she doesn't study
for more than a certain amount of time.
"If I study more than three hours straight, I won't retain what I am trying to learn," Pavelonis said. "I won't leave the library, but I will step outside for a few minutes or order food."
Pavelonis said that she also goes to the gym a lot to relieve stress, refresh her mind and keep her alert. She said it is important to stay active during finals week to avoid tensing up.
Brooks Foreman, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., said that he prefers to study in a quiet room on the top floor of Anschutz Library. Foreman said that it's less stressful to be in a quiet room because there are not as many people sitting around you.
"It is more private, there's a wider working space, more plug-ins and I can write out numbers or formulas on the white boards." Foreman said. "I am less stressed out when I can rely on that larger space to work in."
There are many ways to reduce the stress of finals; you just need to find the technique that's right for you.

STUDY HIDEOUT
Libraries offer alternate spots to study
ANNA WENNER
awenner@kansan.com
Having an area that you are comfortable studying in is essential in order to succeed during finals week. For each student, this area involves different elements that make it a learning-conducive environment.
Kendall Cole, a freshman from Houston, said her favorite study places are either Anschutz or the Union.
"I like when stuff is going on around me"
Cole said. "I don't like it to be quiet."
Clint Cornejo, senior from Wichita, held the opposite view for his favorite study spot — Watson Library.
"It's quieter, and there are a lot less distractions going on around you," said Cornejo. "It's not as crowded and has less activity than Anschutz."
These two students provide an example of how different each student is with his or her study habits. Some prefer noises and activities going on around them, while some prefer silence. Some want access to Internet and cell phones, while others know they cannot focus with such distractions. Some others do not have one specific environment, but purposely stay on the move when studying.
If you haven't found your perfect study area yet, here are a few suggestions.
"I usually bring a study sheet with me and study anywhere I can," said Rachel Hawes, a freshman from Paola. "If I sit in one place I get bored, and so when I have an hour I make a study sheet."
WATSON LIBRARY
This library provides the option of three different areas: group study, quiet study, and the stacks. The main floor of Watson group study - provides minor distractions but remains a mostly quiet area. The stacks and quiet study area both are secluded and silent, and also provide very few distractions. Decent food and coffee options.
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Anschutz also has the three different areas, but tends to be busier and noisier than Watson, particularly on the main floor. The basement stacks of Anschutz offer some areas that have no Internet or cell phone reception, which is ideal if you are distracted easily. There is decent food and coffee options inside the library and, it is located right beside The Underground.
THE KANSAS MEMORIAL UNION
Always a lot going on and generally has a lot of people. Excellent food options (The Market, The Pulse, The Hawk Shop, etc.) and several different areas of chairs and tables to study on.
RESIDENCE HALL STUDY ROOMS
All of the KU residence halls have their own study rooms, which can provide close, easy access study areas for residents. These areas vary widely by how social the floor of the residence hall is, but during finals week the residence halls put longer 'quiet hours' into effect.
OFF-CAMPUS COFFEE SHOPS
Coffee shops tend to be quiet with some low key distractions. The advantage is that they are off campus, so it is less likely that friends will stop to visit, but this only works if you avoid "usual" areas that you meet friends or family. Also, these naturally have good coffee and food selections.

Weak and weary students pull all-nighters to study
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Average is how Jessica Washington, a senior from Basehor, described her performance on a Japanese final last spring. Washington arrived at Anschutz library around 7 p.m. the night before her final to meet with a group of classmates to study.
"People stayed; people left. It was a mess of caffeine and naps." Washington said.
Washington spent the whole night at Anschutz and took her final at 9 a.m.
Swallow didn't intend to stay up all night, and although she still passed her final, she doesn't recommend going all night without sleep.
Kristin Scott, the associate director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, said some students resort to pulling all-nighters because they wait too long to start studying or they need more time to study than they had planned.
And for some students, all-nighters just happen. Emily Swallow, a senior from Naperville, Ill., said she had prepared for her cognitive psychology test weeks before the final, but the night before, Swallow's mind was racing because of her test anxiety; she stayed awake the entire night.
"The rest of the day was miserable, because I was just so exhausted." Swallow said. "It's never a good idea to pull an all-nighter."
Not everyone is successful at pulling an all-nighter. Scott said she has heard stories about students who took a break from studying for a short nap and ended up oversleeping and being late for their final. She has even had a student fall asleep while taking a final.
Scott said students should be alert and thinking clearly when going into a final. She advises students to start early on studying and plan how much time each subject will need. And, of course, she says students should avoid pulling all-nighters.
"When you go to a final, you want to be at your best," Scott said.
"I think if the student has the experience of taking a final when they have gotten sleep, when they are actually at their best, they will find that it's a much different experience," Scott said.
Scott said when students go into a final without getting enough rest, they may not think as clearly and may miss words or misunderstand questions, which causes them to perform worse.

STUDYING
Sunshine and exercise can help study habits
STELLA LIANG
editor@kansan.com
There are a variety of ways to prepare for finals and some ways work well for certain people. Here are a few tips that have worked for other students. They include studying early, setting a schedule and making time for living life.
Brock Ternes, a graduate student from Emporia, recommended starting to study early.
"April is a very underrated month," Ternes said. "Try to focus on the semester's final projects in April so May is not so intense. Of course, that advice is coming too late, isn't it? Try reviewing the material as early as possible. The sooner you start working with the final project, the more time you will have to give yourself exposure to the demands of the class."
It can also help to have a plan, according to Alysse Ong, a sophomore from Malaysia.
"Start early and set a study schedule," Ong said.
Rithvik Mongoli, a freshman from Overland Park, said a study plan can also include activities other than just hitting the books.
"Start studying for your most difficult subject first and plan out your next two weeks carefully." Mongoli said. "Allot yourself time for hanging out with friends in this
plan, so that things don't just pop up and be reasonable with the content you want to review each day."
George Lee, a sophomore from Overland Park, said it can be unhealthy to do nothing but study all day.
"Pulling all-nighters is a bad idea in the long run and if you are in the dorms, check out a conference room or go to the library." Lee said.
Others agreed that is important to take a break and not neglect other duties.
"Do eat, sleep and shower," said Anrenee Reasor, a freshman from Thayer. "Don't stay in your room 24/7."
Ternes said that exercising had been a good way for him to recharge for another round of studying.
"I also recommend taking breaks and giving yourself enough time to sleep and exercise," he said. "If you hit a wall in the library, go to the gym or run a few miles to clear your head. Try looking at the material with fresh eyes and see if that helps you stay focused."
Finally, one tip uses humor to serve as a reminder that preparing for finals is not just a one week event.
"If you didn't listen all semester, your best bet is a time machine," Wade said.

For many students, there is a palpable feeling of stress and anxiety in the air around finals time. There may be several reasons for this fear, including the feeling that one is unprepared.
Ruth Atchley, professor of psychology, said not all test anxiety is the same. She said research suggests that chronic academic anxiety might be something different from worries over a specific test. Some students, she said, have a general and persistent fear of failure, a psychological trait that they show in many academic situations such as tests, public speaking, or any time they face an academic challenge.
"This trait is persistent and does not necessarily change," Atchley said. "Even if they are well prepared for an exam or doing well in a course."
The second cause of anxiety is probably a result of a person's specific worry about a specific test.
"Maybe they have not studied enough or they are struggling in a class and so they feel a high degree of anxiety about a specific final." Atchley said.
But Atchley said most students won't be stressed if they have nothing to be stressed about. She also offered some good news about the anxiety itself, and offered some advice on how to help relieve it.
"In the average undergrad population, according to several studies, the overall effect of high anxiety isn't usually all that big." Atchley said. She said anxiety impacts test scores, but the effect usually averages only a few percentage points.
"My best advice is to simply be prepared." Atchley said.
Danya Goodman, a doctoral student of clinical psychology, said there are some simple, commonsense actions students can take to decrease that anxiety, wherever it comes from.
Studying is at the top of the list.
Goodman said studying can help decrease anxiety, even for students who have more on their mind than just the test.
"The best way to decrease anxiety about something is to confront whatever it is that is making you anxious," she said.
Dr. Ketty Wong, an assistant professor of music, said poor study habits throughout the semester were one source of finals stress
"Procrastination's definitely one of them," said Wong. "Students tend to put homework and other projects off and then they end up not knowing the materials. Also, not coming to classes and not knowing the materials can also cause high anxiety."
Goodman said that even for well-prepared students, there are other reasons for stress around finals time. Students have more to do, she said, balancing increased study time with the need to sleep, eat well and, for some students, work a part-time job.
"Sometimes people take finals almost too seriously," Goodman said. "It is important to try your best in school, but is one final going to determine the course of the rest of your life? Hopefully not, but sometimes it can feel that way."
Goodman and Wong said time management was key to preventing a panic at the end of the semester, and that included taking time to relax with friends.
Wong said her advice comes partly from her own experiences.
"When I was a student my finals were stressful," she said. "But they were also an opportunity to realize what all I had learned through the year. It was definitely a huge learning opportunity," she said.
