Fatal shooting in busy Toronto mall
Police Chief Bill Blair said the shooting at Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto targeted one individual and there were a number of innocent bystanders. Police constable Victor Kwong said two people were in critical condition after being shot at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto, including a 13-year old boy. The 25-year-old man who was killed died at the scene, he said.
TORONTO — A gunman fired shots in a crowded food court in one of Canada's busiest malls Saturday killing a man and injuring seven others, police said.
Blair said investigators have a description of the suspect.
Kwong said six people were shot in all, including the deceased. Two people were trampled on and pushed, including a pregnant woman who went into labor after she was pushed, he said.
"A lot of innocent people were hurt and a lot of innocent people were put at risk," Blair said. "We will be reluctant in our pursuit of the individual."
Witnesses said multiple shots were fired in the mall's food court and that hundreds of panicked shoppers sprinted for the exits. The mall, which is popular with tourists, was evacuated.
"Any place for discharging a firearm in Toronto is dangerous," Blair said. "In the food court of the Eaton Centre on a Saturday evening, it's not only dangerous, it's outrageous. I believe every Torontoian is shocked and appalled by this crime."
Toronto prides itself on being one of the safest cities in North America. Many Canadians have long taken comfort in the peacefulness of their communities and are nervous about anything that might indicate they are moving closer to their American counterparts.

Kwong said police are in the process of reviewing security tapes. He said they had concluded a search of the mail.

Plane crashes, leaving no survivors
LAGOS, Nigeria — A passenger plane carrying more than 150 people crashed in Nigeria's largest city on Sunday, killing all passengers and crew aboard, an emergency official said.
Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority Harold Demuren said that all aboard Sunday's Dana air flight had died. He did not say how many were on the flight.
.
The Lagos state government said in a statement that 153 people were on the flight going from Abuja to Lagos.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The plane first crashed through a furniture shop and then into residential buildings next to the workshop in this densely packed neighborhood.
The nose of the plane was embedded into the three-story apartment building, damaging only one part of the structure.
People gather at the site of a plane crash in Lagos, Nigeria Sunday.
At the crash site, an Associated Press reporter saw parts of the plane's seat signs scattered around. Firefighters tried to put out the smoldering flames of a jet engine and carried at least one corpse from the
building that continued to crumble.
Two fire trucks and about 50 rescue personnel were at the site after the plane went down. Some of those gathered around the site helped firefighters bring in the water hoses from their trucks.
The Nigerian Red Cross arrived, as well as Nigeria's air crash safety investigators.

EGYPT Mubarak's trial continues
CAIRO — Egypt's top prosecutor is appealing the verdicts in the trial of Egypt's ousted president and others, acquitting Hosni Mubarak and his two sons on corruption charges and clearing senior police officers of complicity in killing protesters, an official said on Sunday.
Under Egyptian law, the prosecutor must appeal the entire verdict, which also included convictions and life sentences for Mubarak and his former security chief.
Tens of thousands took to the streets in Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt to protest the verdict. The demonstrations also touched on the runoff election this month for a president to replace Mubarak, pitting Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi against Ahmed Shafiq, who was Mubarak's last prime minister.

Target struggles to please consumers
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Two years after Target Corp. angered gay marriage supporters with a political donation that benefited a fiery gay marriage opponent seeking the governor's office, the retailer is now upsetting same-sex marriage opponents by selling T-shirts to
raise money for a group working to defeat a gay marriage ban in Minnesota.
"Target is attacking traditional marriage, which is an incredibly misguided thing for them to have done," said Chuck Darrell, spokesman for Minnesota for Marriage, a group campaigning to pass the constitutional marriage amendment.
Family Equality Council director Jennifer Chrisler said the T-shirt proceeds will fund her group's
work around the country, ranging from community building to political advocacy.
"I know and understand what a big reaction that donation had two years ago, and I think they have taken steps, serious steps, to show that they understood that reaction," Chrisler said. "But I really think this is an extension of the longtime partnership we have had and their commitment to family."

Strong box office for new 'Snow White'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — There probably will be a happily-ever-after ending for "Snow White and the Huntsman" at the box office this weekend.
'The adaptation of the classic fairy tale — the second take on "Snow White" to hit theaters this year — is expected to open with a solid sum of $40 million to $45 million, according
to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. The studio behind the film, Universal Pictures, is projecting a softer opening of between $30 million and $35 million.
Either way, the movie should open with far more than March's "Mirror Mirror," Relativity Media's more comedic spin on Snow White starring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts, which launched with a weak $18 million
domestically and ultimately collected $62 million. However, "Mirror Mirror" had a budget of around $100 million, while "Snow White" cost Universal $170 million to produce.
Starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, "Snow White" has so far earned middling reviews; on Thursday, the film had a 52 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lil Wayne upset over Thunder ticket denial
The rapper said two Thunder players — Kevin Durant and James Harden — had reached out to offer him tickets to Saturday's fourth game of the Western Conference Finals.
LOS ANGELES — Lil Wayne said that after a recent NBA playoff ticket dispute he felt unwelcome and "unwanted" at the Oklahoma City arena and isn't planning to return.
"That's not the point, though," he told The Associated Press in an interview Friday night. "It's the players stepping up but of course the players aren't white. I don't want to be sitting there on behalf of you and I'm sitting next to a (person) that's like I don't want this (guy) sitting next to
me! (Forget) you ... I'm in Forbes" he said, laughing.
Lil Wayne claimed in a tweet Thursday night that he had been "denied by the team to be in their arena." The team responded by saying the seats he wanted were already taken.
Lil Wayne said a manager had advised him not to return to the city's arena for sports events or concerts, but "I never say never"
He said he felt welcome at other arenas including Miami, and likes being able to energize players — many of whom are fans of his music — on their home court.
A team spokesman has said Lil Wayne's representatives insisted that he sit in the front row, and none of those seats were available.

Mistress writes about John Edwards affair
RALEIGH, N.C. — John Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter is publishing a memoir about her relationship with the former presidential candidate and their daughter.
Jennifer Canzoneri, marketing manager at Dallas-based BenBella Books, says "What Really Happened" is set to be released on June 26.
Edwards and Hunter had an affair while the Democrat was running for the White House in 2008 and have
a daughter together, Frances Quinn Hunter.
On Thursday, a jury acquitted Edwards on one count of illegally accepting campaign contributions and deadlocked on five other charges. He had been accused of orchestrating a plan to use money from campaign donors to hide Hunter while he ran for the White House.
His relationship with Hunter currently remains unclear.

'Men in Black 3' censored in China
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — "Men in Black 3" is the latest film to face the wrath of Chinese censors.
At least three minutes of Sony's sci-fi comedy have been excised for its Chinese theatrical run, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who was not authorized to speak about it publicly.
The offending moments take place in New York's Chinatown. They include a Chinese-restaurant shootout between evil aliens and Will Smith's Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K — the aliens are disguised as restaurant workers — as well as a moment when Smith's J "neuralyzes," or memory-wipes, a group of Chinese bystanders.
A Chinese paper, the China Southern Daily, speculated that the latter scene may have been cut because it could be viewed as a comment on China's censorship of the Internet.
The news was first reported in the English-language press by Britain's Daily Telegraph, which pegged the total time of the cuts at 13 minutes.
"MIB 3" opened to more than $21 million in China last weekend, by far the largest total of any of the more than 50 foreign territories in which the movie bowed.
Chinese law limits the number of Hollywood movies that can be shown in its theaters, prompting studios to be unusually careful about any China-related content they include in their films.

Anti-abortion bill lacks sense
Here's a joke: Rep. Lance Kinzer says he is "standing up for conservative, traditional values.'
Are you laughing yet? Me neither.
Last month while campus was cramming for May finals, Kinzer was busy trying to legislate science under the guise of conservative, traditional values.
By Danielle Onions
donions@kansan.com
Kinzer authored a bill aimed at preventing abortions, which was strongly opposed by fellow pro-life Republicans Rep. Barbara Bollier. While much of HB 2598, and later SB 313, was distasteful and shortsighted, portions of it were irresponsible, irrational and downright dangerous.
The bill would force doctors to tell patients that abortions cause cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, that bold claim is absolutely not true.
Senate President Steve Morris argued it could jeopardize the University of Kansas' pursuit of a comprehensive cancer center designation from the NCI, which would allow the continuation and expansion of critical research. Kinzer preaches
about the importance of job creation and strong economies, but at the same time he risks the stability afforded to the state by the University in the form of jobs, research, and spending.
The bill doesn't just risk an NCI designation (something supported by officials across the state and both of our Republican U.S. senators), it could also risk the accreditation of the University of Kansas Medical Center, because it may prevent residents in obstetrics programs from learning the subtleties of induced abortions and the necessary procedures to protect the health of the mother. Residents in these programs currently gain that knowledge outside
of Kansas but that process would be ended in 2013.
But most sickening is that Kinzer's bill protects doctors and medical personnel from lawsuits should they decide to withhold health and medical information from a patient because it may lead that patient to consider an abortion.
It appears that Kinzer doesn't believe women have the right to know what is going on in their bodies. Instead, he believes that a doctor has the right to examine you, analyze you, and then withhold that information from you because he doesn't trust you to "do the right thing."
Kinzer wants to get rid of abortion, but he hasn't just targeted women seeking abortions. He has put at risk any woman who pursues pregnancy.
Even married and financially stable prospective mothers who follow traditional, conservative values would feel the effects. This bill would allow a doctor to withhold information about an unborn child's fatal disease because the information could lead to an abortion. No mother should have to give birth and watch her child die
days later, or be denied the chance to emotionally and financially prepare to raise a child with a known, severe disability.
I resent Kinzer and his supporters in Topeka parading as traditional conservatives. I was raised in a traditional, conservative household by proud Republicans, who believe in the sanctity of life and in respect for people. They believe in honesty and in transparency. The traditional conservatives I know don't support doctors lying. They don't support doctors playing games with the health of women.
They believe that the United States is long past the days of male doctors "protecting" female patients from big words and scary diagnoses. And while they are staunchly, fiercely, vehemently pro-life, they don't support taking away the rights of one group in order to elevate the status of another.

Sharing your crisis can help you cope
Have you ever gone through a situation you don't think anyone can possibly understand? Feeling alone isn't uncommon. I've been there. It's tough.
What's even more tough is when feeling alone goes so far as to become destructive. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 19 to 24 year olds and the age range where the majority of suicides are committed according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

We've seen the stories play out in movies, read them in books or maybe lived through them where someone tries to commit suicide, is sexually abused, bullied or has a disorder but their friends don't know what to do. In situations that could be dangerous or life threatening, who do you turn to? Kansas has a series of crisis hotlines that cover nearly every topic one could imagine. To name a few, there are suicidehotlines.com/kansas.html, overcomeyoured.tripod.com/id16.htm, and www.kcsvd.org/ksreSOURCES.html.
To find hotlines for other disorders or other states, Google: your state, the problem, "hotlines"
By reaching out and talking to someone who specializes in your type of problem yet keeps your identity confidential, you can truly open up and feel listened to. Most such centers are manned by volunteers.
Don't hesitate and don't feel like your problem isn't important enough or that you aren't important enough. You are important, and that's exactly why I'm writing this today.
Your life and well-being is worth so much more than what a small column by an unknown writer can express. Open up to those resources that can help you make it through those tough situations uncathed.

STATE OF WEED
Weed out-smokes other drugs in Kansas
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
Editor's Note: Names of people interviewed in this story have been changed to protect their identities.
Marijuana continues to be the most used illegal drug in the country and in Kansas. Douglas County is ranked in the top five counties in Kansas for possession of marijuana arrests, according to drugscience.org.
In 2009, over 3,200 pounds of marijuana were seized in the state, compared to 220 pounds of cocaine, the second most used illegal drug.
Hunter, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., sells marijuana all year. He knows a few people who have been arrested for possession of marijuana but believes there are ways to avoid getting caught.
"There is always a risk when you are dealing, but what I try to do is keep a low profile and not get outside my comfort zone," Hunter said.
Trust is extremely important for Hunter when dealing with customers. "The only people I deal to are friends," Hunter said. "And the only new people I sell to have a connection to one of my friends. The people I know who have been arrested for possession usually do something dumb to get caught, like smoke in a car on a busy street."
Hunter, who buys 1 or 2 pounds at a time, said his business usually goes up in the summer because of the lack of competition.
"There is a lot more down time for students, and I have a pretty good client base so I'm usually pretty busy in the summer," Hunter said. "This is pretty much my second job, and it helps me pay for bills and food so I don't have to
take out as many loans."
Jake, a senior from Overland Park who smokes occasionally, said it isn't difficult to find marijuana whenever he wants to smoke.
"Finding weed in Lawrence is pretty easy, especially after making a couple connections," Jake said. "I live in the student ghetto and I know a couple different people within a few blocks of my house that I can go to who sell weed."
However, Jake says it does become a little more difficult to find marijuana in the summer when the student population decreases significantly.
"The main guy I buy from is originally from California, and that's where he gets the bulk of his weed." Jake said. "He went back this summer. So did a couple of other dealers I know, so I have to go through people I don't know too well."

For dealers selling weed in the summer, it's easy to keep a steady income without much competition, while buyers lose their connections to dealers who leave for the summer.

Summer calls for more beer variety, new blends
SEASONAL COLLECTION
BLUE MOON
SUMMER HONEY WHISKEY
Blue Moon BREWING CO., LTD.
A variety of light and flavorful beers are popular for students during summer because they're easy to drink and have low alcohol content. Favorites include Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy and Blue Moon's Summer Honey Wheat.
KELSEA ECKENROTH keckenroth@kansan.com
Summer is the time for outdoor activities like camping, swimming, taking weekend trips to the lake, and going to parties. The summer heat can leave someone thirsty for something refreshing and delicious. Summer is beer season.
Beer drinking and summer activities go hand in hand. Matt Easley, the general manager of On the Rocks, a liquor store at 1818 Massachusetts St., said beer is most popular during the summer, and summer offers the biggest seasonal beer selection.
"Summer beers are usually lighter and usually lower in alcohol content so people can drink more of them," Easley said. "Lighter beers, wheat beers, fruit ales and summer beers like Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy sell well during the summer."
Dan Dutcher, a fifth-year senior from Wichita, said his favorite summer beer is Samuel Adams Summer Ale, which, according to the Samuel Adams website, is a wheat ale made with malted wheat, lemon peel, and a rare pepper from Africa called Grains of Paradise.
"Wheat beers are the right kind of beer to be drinking when you are sitting around a campfire or something,
Dutcher said. "It just feels right."
Blake Tillman, a fifth-year senior from McPherson, said he is always open to trying new beers and enjoys going to 23rd Street Brewery, a local restaurant and brewery at 3512 Clinton Parkway, to try whatever seasonal beers the brewery has on tap.
"I like the Bartertown Brown at 23rd Street Brewery," Tillman said. "I'm just trying to taste new things and not be hesitant to try a new beer."
People are very tuned into and interested in seasonal offerings, and local breweries are keeping up with the public's interest.
Magerl said Stormchaser is golden colored with a citrus flavor to it and that the beer is a great summer beverage. "We had two versions of Storm Chaser and served them both downtown." Magerl said, "then took the best characters of both and combined them into the beer that is in the bottles."
The Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., is coming out with a summer beer called Stormchaser Summer IPA. Free State owner Chuck Magerl said Stormchaser is already bottled and is in stores, as of June 1.

Farmers' Market moves, stays popular
JESSICA TIERNEY
jtierney@kansan.com
The new location of the Westside Farmers' Market is attracting both old and new customers.
After a recent and unexpected removal from its original location, the Westside Lawrence Farmers' Market has a new home at Emprise Bank, 1121 Wakarusa Drive. This is just a few blocks south of its original location at the corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.
Thanks to some quick action by members of the community and market leaders, the Westside Market was without a home for only a few days.
"Business has actually been better since the move," said Nicholas Kotlinksi, assistant coordinator for the Lawrence Farmers' Market. "The bank has helped us a lot."
The Westside Market started three years ago as part of an expansion project of the Lawrence Farmers' Market. Its primary locations are in downtown Lawrence, one on Tuesday nights on Vermont Street and another on Saturday mornings on New Hampshire Street.
"They thought they could get a new market going and wanted to appeal to new clientele in west Lawrence," Kotlinks said.
The market ran into some trouble, however, when the tenants of the shopping center where it began voted to remove the Thursday market from the parking lot and reserve that space for their customers and their vehicles.
In the same shopping center occupied by the Salty Iguana, businesses such as Morningstar's Pizza and Grinders recently opened shop. According to representatives of Concord Hospitality Services, the shopping center's owner, this created a conflict, which was eventually resolved by the vote to remove the Lawrence Farmers' Market.
Kottinski said leaders of the market were flooded with offers for alternative locations. Pam Bramlett, market coordinator, made the decision that the larger amount of space at Emprise Bank would allow for more expansion and the grass would be cooler for the vendors, as opposed to the pavement of the previous location.
The vendors agree. On a recent Thursday evening, a mixture of families, students, and young professionals perused the wares, purchasing everything from ice cream from Ewig Family Dairy to freshly picked herbs and homemade quiche from Marilyn Pilkey and her Little Woods Bake Shop.
"I think this will be a great location," Pilkey said. "The bank people have been really nice. They brought us water."
The closer proximity of the street and the surrounding neighborhoods is also an advantage.
"I think that this one is going to be better," said Katie Wohletz, a representative from one of the vendors, Wohletz Farm Fresh. "We have better visibility than before."
The Westside Market will be held every Thursday evening from 4-6 p.m. until the end of October.

SUMMER SCHOOL
Students branch out with quirky classes
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
dderryberry@kansan.com
Summer offers students a chance to take classes they may not usually have time for, according to Roberta Schwartz, associate professor of music who teaches History of Rock and Roll.
The University offers a variety of courses over the summer that give students the chance to experiment in something new, including bowling, singing lessons, physical conditioning and many more.
"I think summers are a great time to take optional courses that it's maybe tough to schedule during the
semester," Schwartz said. "Probably the best incentive, and it probably has to do with the lower class size: Grades in the summer session are always better."
Luke Samuel, lecturer of design, teaches Fundamentals of Photography and says that summer courses don't have to be particular to a student's major and can be beneficial to anyone.
Schwartz's class discusses the role of music in society and the differences in various genres, and gives students the ability to thoughtfully examine all music in a professional way.
"I seriously believe that when you do things that are outside your area,
it stretches your brain a little bit of a different way," Samuel said. "I tell kids all the time to take photography, take drawing, that in a sense it's good for you."
For film student Lukas Renard, a senior from Wichita, summer courses have helped him acquire quick credits. Having his film class everyday helps him understand the information, and it's an enjoyable time.
Samuel's course discusses basic camera operation as well as film and digital production. Samuel says the concentrated time and the smaller classes of summer terms are fun and that he is excited for the course to begin.
"I like summer courses because of how often we attend them. It's easier to retain the material than during the semester when we only meet once a week," Renard said. "I'm in Classical Theory this summer, and we get to watch a different movie each day."
Whether students take a required course or try something new, Schwartz says students need to keep the brain active between semesters.
"Keeping in the groove, becoming accustomed to the fact that you're going to be in that routine certainly makes it easier when August rolls around," Schwartz said.
Edited by Megan Hinman
Summer classes begin Tuesday, June 5. Here are some other dates to keep in mind during the summer term:
- If enrolling late, students have until June 11 to enroll online.
- Monday, June 18 is the last day to add or swap a class and Tuesday, July 17 is the last day to drop or completely withdraw from summer courses.
- There will be no classes on July 4, in honor of Independence Day.
- The last day for all summer courses is Friday, July 27.

EXERCISING
Ambler, parks provide workout services
ANNA ALLEN
aallen@kansan.com
Some students prefer to do it in the early morning. Others like to do it at the end of a busy day. Some like to keep it hot, and some enjoy to use it as a time to cool off. Whatever way you choose to workout, Lawrence during the summer has plenty of options for you to choose from.
For student Ashlee Baraban, a junior from Topeka, the Ambler Student Rec Center is the first place she goes when working out. In fact, it's where she usually goes to start her day three to four days a week.
"It keeps me calm, helps me get things done throughout the day", Baraban said about getting in an early workout.
The rec offers classes like yoga to help with just that; managing stress. But it also offers a variety of other resources to help your workouts.
"Basketballs and racquets are definitely checked out the most," said John Bertels, a sophomore from Overland Park, who works behind the rec's
checkout counter.
Bertels said some of the less checked out equipment included couquet and TRZ, but said its probably because of people's lack of familiarity with the two.
Additionally, canoes, tents, bikes and other outdoor gear are rented from the rec for different amounts of time, an hour to a weekend, Bertels said.
But some students turn to the rec for more than entertainment and reducing stress. Cedric Burrows, a May doctoral graduate from Memphis, said he started getting serious about his health after turning thirty. He said he realized the importance of staying fit after looking at his family's health history and knowing that fitness was the way to combat against possible health problems. He tries to get to the rec at least three times a week, but enjoys hiking the various trails Lawrence has, as well.
And when the ree is closed, what then? As Burrows pointed out, Lawrence has a wide variety of hiking trails. A list of these can be found on the Lawrence Parks and Recreation website, with additional options for classes
and intramural teams to participate with the entire Lawrence community. And, of course, if you're looking to cool down literally, check out the Lawrence Aquatic Center and its four different locations, both indoor and outdoor.

Top 10 things to do before summer's end
SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
Splashing around in the Chi Omega Fountain is one of students' favorite traditions over the years, on top of a fun and practical way to cool off during the summer.
VICTORIA PITCHER
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
vpitcher@kansan.com
The Spencer Museum of Art hosts events and activities such as 'Art in the Global Context' from 1:15-2:20pm on June 6th and a workshop to create your own art on June 9th.
If you are lucky enough to be staying in Lawrence for the summer, now is the best time to explore campus. Maybe you need something to do in between classes, or you just want to get to know the campus a little better Here are 10 things to do on campus this summer.
1. Spencer Museum of Art
For an escape from the sweltering heat, check out the Spencer Museum of Art. It houses almost 36,000 works of art from around the world, and it's free. Spencer Museum of Art is open limited hours Tuesday through Sunday. For hours and current exhibition information, go to spencerartku.edu.
2. Potter Lake
Play a game of Frisbee with friends or pack a picnic at Potter Lake. In its prime, Potter Lake was used for boat and swimming races. Now that the water is no longer in great condition, students find other ways to enjoy the area. Students with a valid fishing license can fish in Potter Lake, but eating the fish is not recommended.
3. Swim in the Chi Omega Fountain
Maybe you need a quick cool down or maybe you need to take the right of passage before graduation, but swimming in the Chi Omega fountain is one of KU's many traditions. In 1952, the Chi Omega fountain was approved as a memorial for the alumnae of the KU Lambda chapter. It is 12 feet in diameter, and according to KU Info, it holds 8,500 gallons of water.
4. Jaybowl
If you are looking for something to do with your friends, head down to the first floor of the Kansas Union for a game of bowling. Jaybowl offers games for students at $2.50 a game, and every Friday is $1 bowling. Jaybowl is open limited hours every day from June 1 to July 1.
5. Climb the Chalk Rock
If you want to test your strength and skill, or maybe even your fear of heights, climb the rock wall located in the Ambler Student Recreation Center. The rock wall, which was recently named the Chalk Rock, is a way to exercise that is different than the usual workout routine. The Chalk Rock is open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and is free to students who are enrolled in summer classes.
6. Take a KU Fit class
With a little more time on your hands during the summer, you can try out a fit class. KU Fit offers a variety of classes from cycling to zumba. They have classes for all levels of experience. KU Fit passes cost $25 for unlimited classes during the summer. Facility use is paid through required campus fees for enrolled summer students. For those students not enrolled, they can pay for a summer membership at the recreation center.
7. Wescoe Wonders
There is just something about Wescoe. Wescoe Beach is where students like to sit and study or maybe people watch. And the Underground is a popular student hangout. "Going to the Underground is a fun and easy way to meet new people," said Keith Johnson, a senior from Topeka. Johnson said he likes to get coffee and strike up conversations with people.
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
The rock wall inside the Ambler Student Recreation Center, now known as the Chalk Rock, is a fun and challenging way to get your exercise in during the summer.
8. Watch the fireworks on campus
This Fourth of July, if you are hunting for a tall building to watch the fireworks, look no further than campus. "I like to show people the view from the roof of the union," said Matt Mendoza, a senior from Winfield. The top of the Kansas Union parking lot is not only a great view of campus, it makes for a high-up spot for watching fireworks.
9. Get pampered
If you are in need of a haircut, but are short on cash, check out Salon Hawk. And while you are there, you
can get a tan at Sun of a Beach Tanning. Salon Hawk and Sun of a Beach Tanning are located on the third floor of the Kansas Union, and they accept Beak Em Bucks.
10. Eat on campus
Maybe you have avoided the dining areas during regular semesters because they are overcrowded or you just didn't have time. Now is the perfect opportunity to eat on campus. Maybe even try the Impromptu Café, a full-service restaurant located on the third floor of the Kansas Union. It is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Lawrence provides breadth of hobbies
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
Students staying in Lawrence this summer can take advantage of cooking classes, concerts and treasure hunting among many other activities.
Josh Fredrick, a senior from Lawrence, said one of his favorite things to do in Lawrence is go to concerts at the Granada, Liberty Hall and the Jackpot. Death Cab for Cutie will be playing Liberty Hall on July 8.
Treasure hunting in Lawrence is also a hobby of Fredrick's. Players find
where transferable treasures are, using GPS on www.geocaching.com, then they hunt. After finding a treasure, they can re-hide it and share their experience on the website.
"It's really fun and really easy to kill big chunks of time with," Fredrick said. "The first time I went, I found four or five in a row."
Another hobby to pick up is cooking. The Merc, 901 Iowa Street, offers cooking classes taught by professional caterers, nutritionists and chefs. Some of their classes are Beer and Food Pairing. A Simple Italian meal to Share with
Friends, Late Spring Fruit Desserts and A Mexican Taco Party for the First Day of Summer. For more classes, prices and times, check www.communitymercantile.com.
After a year of academic classes, Simona Dragieva, a senior from Overland Park said she likes to relax at apartment pool parties.
Student apartment complexes, such as the Legends, have pool parties during the summer.
"There is always barbeque, tanning and new people to meet," Dragieva said.
The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive, has a waterslide and a wheel-chair-accessible entrance into the heated pool. Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Kentucky Street, features lawn chairs for tanning, two water slides and a diving board.
Lawrence Parks and Recreation offers many outdoor activities, like skateboarding and two types of golfing. Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road, and River Front Park, Highway 24, both have 18-hole disc golf courses. Eagle Bend, 1250 E. 902 Road, has a public 18-hole golf course.
Clinton Lake also offers many outdoor activities.
Macy Migchelbrink, a senior from Atwood, Kan., said she enjoyed hiking, tanning and fishing at Clinton Lake last summer. When her friend's boat was available, they went tubing and wakeboarding.
"I had a blast; it's better than going home," Migchelbrink said. "There's always a lot to do in Lawrence. There are no worries about school and no studying for finals."

The Kansas baseball season came to a crushing end Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. Missouri beat the Jayhawks using the mercy rule in the eighth inning, winning 12-2.

on the mound today," coach Ritch Price said. "It was our fourth game and their third game, and that's why you want to stay in the winner's bracket."
But the problem all day for the Jayhawks was the "shut-down inning." Jakubov couldn't shut down the Tigers in the bottom half of the third inning, allowing two runs to make the game 4-1.
Tharp drove in another run in the fourth inning with an RBI single to center field.
Missouri jumped on Poppe early, scoring two runs in the first inning. Poppe made it through less than two innings of work, struggling to find the zone and walking four of the nine batters he faced.
Jordan Jakubov relieved Poppe in the second inning. Jakubov pitched the most of any Jayhawk pitcher on the day: 3.0 innings. He
Missouri blew the game open, scoring four runs in the sixth inning,' thanks to a bases-loaded, base-clearing double. They added another three runs in the eighth inning to get to 10 runs and end the game.
Kansas finished its season 24-33. The Jayhawks will look to build off their strong season finish next year as their young players mature.

One day later, the Jayhawks won game two 6-3 with a solid outing by freshman pitcher Wes Benjamin.

STANLEY CUP
Devils try to dethrone Kings in Stanley Cup finals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — The New Jersey Devils are suddenly hoping that the Los Angeles Kings' road magic is contagious.
After rolling through the previous two rounds by winning eight of 10 to reach the Stanley Cup finals, the Devils are quickly understanding what it is like to be ambushed by the Los Angeles Kings, who have won 10 straight away from home.
For the second straight game, goalie Martin Brodeur and the Devils were
beaten 2-1 in overtime by the Kings, who have carried an invincibility throughout the playoffs.
"It's hard, but we're not going to quit," captain Zach Parise said Saturday night of the two home losses. "We'll regroup, try to win Game 3 and go from there."
That one will be Monday in Los Angeles, and Game 4 will be played on Wednesday. If the Devils can get at least one of those, they will host Game 5 next Saturday night.
New Jersey hasn't had to get on a plane for a road game since Game 7 of
the first round against Florida. If the Devils don't pick up the scoring pace in a hurry, they will soon be flying home from the West Coast to clean out their lockers.
"We're still alive," said Brodeur, who was sharp in making 30 saves. "We're still in great shape to do something amazing."
Los Angeles has won the first three games in each of its first three series. The Devils weren't about to label Game 3 as a must-win, but the chances of a comeback are remote.
Several New Jersey players said
they had jitters in the series opener, but those seemed to be gone in Game 2 as the Devils picked up their game and looked more like the team that knocked out the Flyers and Rangers in the previous two rounds.
New Jersey only has to look back to last year to see that the Boston Bruins rebounded from an 0-2 deficit — both one-goal losses — against the Vancouver Canucks and captured the Cup.
But they didn't expect to lose two straight at home.

"Whether it's hard (to believe) or not, we did," Parise said.

Golf coach fired after disappointing run
The University's men's golf coach Kit Grove was fired on May 10, ending his five-year run as the Jayhawks head coach.
The Jayhawks finished in last place during the Big 12 Championships for the second time in the last three years and never finished higher than sixth in his five-year tenure.
Grove served as the assistant coach to former KU coach Ross Randall for one season before becoming
the head coach in 2007.
Grove played at KU for three years from 1995-1997 and participated in two national championships as a Jayhawk.
Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger told the Lawrence Journal World said the search to replace Grove would begin soon.
"Just like in other searches we've conducted, it's a personnel matter, and it will be conducted in a thorough and quiet manner;" Zenger said.

EDUCATION
Law school program aims to prepare future students
High school students from across Kansas found out what it's like to be in law school and what it takes to have a career in the legal profession. Last week during the third annual "Journey to J.D" camp, School of Law faculty and current students worked to encourage diverse students to attend college, law school and work in the legal field.
The camp was created by the School of Law's alumni Diversity Council to diversify legal education and the workforce, and it was funded through donations by alumni and corporate sponsors. Programs like "Journey to J.D." are known as "pipeline" programs and are used by numerous law schools and firms to address the lack of diversity in the legal field.
"Studies show that a fewer black collection of students graduate from
high school and college, and they're definitely underrepresented in the legal profession,'said Karen Hester, Director of Student Affairs and Diversity at the School of Law."Our thought is that if we can reach them now we can show them what steps they need to take, and we can hopefully make a long term impact on the legal profession and the diversity within."

RETIREMENT
—Jessica Tierney
University offers buyout incentive to employees
The University accepted early retirement applications from 106 employees seeking buyouts, and rejected 43 applications, according to The Associated Press.
In April, the University offered an early retirement incentive to roughly 655 employees at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
Employees approved for the program receive a one-time payment for a year's worth of salary. The maximum payment is $100,000.
Gavin Young, provost communications coordinator and spokesman, said the program is for employees who plan to retire by the end of the year. At the earliest, employees can retire July 24, and at the latest, December 31.
Employees have until July 15 to accept their offer and sign the agreement.
Young said the determining factor in which applications are accepted or rejected is based on the long-term best interests of the University.

China will send astronauts to dock with an orbiting module
BEIJING China will launch three astronauts this month to dock with an orbiting experimental module, and the crew might include its first female space traveler, a government news agency said Saturday. A rocket carrying the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft was moved to a launch pad in China's desert northwest on Saturday for the mid-June flight, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing a space program spokesman.

The crew will dock with and live in the Tiangong 1 orbital module launched last year, Xinhua said. The government has not said how long the mission will last.
Scientists will test the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, the Long March 2F rocket and ground systems, Xinhua said.
People watch the Long March-2F rocket carrying the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft which moves to the launch pad at the Jiuquan launch center in Jiuquan, China's northwest Gansu province, Saturday, June 9, 2012.

Contestant quits over foul play
MISS CINCINA DEL MAYOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miss Pennsylvania sheena Monnin rescigned her crown in the Miss Universe Pageant, claiming the contest is rigged, but according to organizers, the beauty queen was upset over the decision to allow transgender contestants to enter.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — The Miss USA pageant representative from Pennsylvania resigned her crown claiming the contest is rigged, but according to organizers the beauty queen was upset over the decision to allow transgender contestants to enter.
A posting on Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin's Facebook page claims another contestant learned the names of the top 5 finishers on Sunday morning — hours before the show was broadcast.
Monnin claims the other contestant told her the names of the top 5 she spotted on a planning sheet for the telecast — and she decided to step down as soon as those same contestants were named during the show.
"In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any longer," Monnin wrote in one of her Facebook posts.
Monnin, of Cranberry, Butler County, did not immediately respond to a Facebook message from The Associated Press.
Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe Organization, called Monni's claims that the pageant was fixed "totally ridiculous" in a live interview Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"We're going to be suing her now," Trump said. "She made a very false charge and she knows it's a false charge."
Pageant organizers confirmed Monniin resigned, but said it wasn't for the reason she claimed.
According to a statement from the Miss Universe Organization, the contestant who Monnin claimed saw the sheet vehemently refuted Monnin's account. The statement includes text from an email from Monnin that cites the decision to allow transgender contestants into the competition as the reason she's resigning.
Miss Rhode Island, the pageant's winner, Olivia Culpo, said Monnin's original resignation was based on her stance on the pageant's policy on transgender contestants and called it "strange" that Monnin is now saying something else.
MUSIC
Minaj nixes concert after host comments
LOS ANGELES — Nicki Minaj was set to headline Hot 97's Summer Jam festival in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday but pulled out shortly before her set.
Minaj nixed her performance at the festival, one of only a few annual hip-hop events of its size, following disparaging remarks from Hot 97 personality Peter Rosenberg, who also hosts MTV's
"Hip-Hop Squares."
Rosenberg, obviously not a fan of Minaj's club-friendly, RedOneproduced jingle, "Starships," told the crowd that the radio station was "all about that real hip-hop."
"I know there are some chicks in here waiting to sing along with 'Starships' later," he chided. "I'm not talking to y'all right now." He then quickly dismissed the song with some rather unprintable language.
That didn't sit well with Minaj
nor with her label head, Lil Wayne, who pulled the plug on all his Young Money artists who were at Summer Jam.
Minaj confirmed the snub on her Twitter feed, telling the station staff they messed up "history" (she just wasn't as nice about it). "The President has spoken," she wrote. "I go above and beyond for my fans. But won't ever go against Wayne's word. What he says, goes."

LOS ANGELES — Circus animals and space beasts have lifted Hollywood to a huge weekend.
The cuddly critters of "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" led the weekend with a $60.4 million debut domestically, followed by a

ShenYl Crow revealed to an audience that she has a benign brain tumor. She also battled breast cancer several years back.
Crow discovers tumor
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
LOS ANGELES — Sheryl Crow says she has a brain tumor — one that was found after she became concerned about her increasingly spotty memory.
Crow's benign meningioma showed up during a screening the breast cancer survivor had done in November on a hunch.
"I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI. And I found out I have a brain tumor," Crow recently told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "And I was, like, See? I knew there was something wrong."
Though frequently referred to as "brain tumors," meningiomas actually form in the lining around the brain and spinal cord. Usually benign, they can press against the brain or spinal cord if they grow.
"I don't have to worry about it," Crow said, even though the situation gives her "a fit" — perhaps due to the aforementioned memory loss. She admitted she'd blanked on the lyrics to her hit "Soak Up the Sun" during a recent performance in Florida.
"Not only could I not remember the first line, I couldn't remember the first line to any of the verses," she told the Review-Journal.

CBS files lawsuit against ABC
LOS ANGELES — CBS has decided to throw a bigger rock at "The Glass House."
The network was set to file late Thursday night for a temporary restraining order against the show, which pits 14 contestants against one another in a house wired with
cameras and microphones. Claiming the series is a blatant rip-off of its summer staple "Big Brother," CBS originally filed a lawsuit against ABC and other defendants for copyright infringement and additional claims last month.

Scorecards enhance experience
Have you ever been to a baseball game and remember just how much of the game you paid close attention to? It's probably not very much.
I recently went to a Kansas City Royals game — one that the team predictably lost — with my father. We have a tradition where we both keep a scorecard throughout the game. It adds to the ongoing conversation about the game and fuels continued debates. It keeps us both involved in the game and aids in building a bond through the sport. His dad taught him all the intricacies of keeping score and he taught me; I hope to pass that along to my children some day.
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
However, I've noticed that fewer and fewer people actually take the time to learn how to keep score at a baseball game. The lack of scorekeeping is a lost opportunity for family bonding during a sporting event that lends itself to conversation. The declining interest in baseball is the product of several problems.
It is hard to say baseball is America's pastime while keeping a straight face. It's not nearly as popular as football, and the brains behind the operations haven't helped themselves.
Following the labor strike, baseball was buoyed by the home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire in 1998. But that was all thrown away once the use rampant use of steroids in baseball came to light.
Since then, baseball has fallen into a definite rut, and the powers that-be have come up with poor measures to remedy that. Despite the excitement in the Kansas City area due to the upcoming All-Star Game, the idea that an All-Star game should
determine home field advantage in the World Series is just a bad idea. If people got back to the grass roots and did something simple like keep score at a game, it would enhance their appreciation of baseball. It drives spectators to pay closer attention to the game. Technology has made keeping score almost archaic, a fact that's obvious when looking for a scorecard at Kauffman Stadium; you can't find them anywhere. People need to put down the iPhones and pick up a scorecard, a pencil and enjoy the atmosphere and great baseball even if some of the "great" is lacking in Kansas City.

Bars adjust specials for summer

KU graduate Elizabeth Cunningham takes a drink at Quinton's Bar & Deli Thursday night after ordering from bartender James Stephenson, a senior from Little River, Kan. Quinton's has daily specials such as $3 Long Islands and $1 Aquatini shots on Thursdays.

Bars are looking for different ways to maintain popularity this summer.
Tonic and Mass St. Pub, more commonly known as Tonic, manager Michael Surface said the bar uses different promotions to help maintain business. On Thursday nights, Tonic offers free cover for women until midnight.
Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St., also uses social media to advertise various drink specials throughout the summer.
"If you follow Tonic on Twitter, (@TonicLawrence), we have special offers for VIP entrance, free cover, or VIP room giveaways during the summer." Surface said. "Twitter is the best way to stay informed on events, parties, and special offers."
Surface said Tonic has maintained good business throughout the two years it has been open, which includes summertime.
While Tonic uses various promotions in order to draw in students, Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., maintains a lot of the same specials they have
throughout the school year.
Quinton's employee James Stephenson says they do see a drop off in business during the summer, but Tuesday and Thursday nights maintain popularity all year.
Stephenson said on Tuesday nights they offer $2.50 draws, but sometimes change specials in order to draw a bigger crowd.
"Once in awhile, we will have specials like $2 anything, which we use to get a different crowd to come in. Those nights are pretty popular, and it is something we will do randomly throughout the summer," Stephenson said.
On Thursday nights, Quinton's offers "wine night." For $12, the
bar offers five different four-ounce samples, along with a full glass of your favorite wine.
Quinton's doesn't change its prices during the summer, but it's open every day, and they offer various drink specials for each day.
Richard Arnett, a senior from Shawnee, said he enjoys the bar atmosphere in the summer because there are fewer students around.
"It is definitely a lot more laid back, and it is easier to get drinks at the bar during the summer," Arnett said. "The bar scene is almost better, just because it isn't as crowded. You can move around easier."

Lawrence LARPers create own world
JESSICA TIERNEY
jtierney@kansan.com
You're enjoying an evening hike in the woods. The sun is setting and the air is cool. You hear a soft rumble, but you shrug it off as thunder, a distant storm. Hiking further, the rumble becomes louder, like it's headed directly towards you. Then the rumble becomes more like a roar. You hear voices, shouting, even snarling. Then, a group of nine or 10 people emerges, running and shouting. You duck behind a nearby tree. The light is low, but you can see capes, shields, and swords.
Yes, swords.
No, this isn't a hallucination.
You've just witnessed a LARP
LARP is an acronym for "Live Action Role Play." It's a style of interactive gaming that can trace its origins to the late 1970s. Fans of tabletop role-playing games and fantasy films such as "Logan's Run" wanted to take their appreciation of those imaginary worlds and recreate them in real life.
gathering and the running, shouting, shields and swords are all part of this intricate game that takes imagination to a whole new level.
"I like to describe it as King Arthur in the woods with a plastic sword," said Joe Bearden, KU graduate and chapter director of Heroic Central, a LARP organization located in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas.
Its popularity has grown since the '70s, especially within the last decade
and the release of "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy.
The oldest recorded LARP group is the United States-based organization, Dagorhir, founded in 1977. Its name originates from I.R.R Tolkien's Sindarin Elven language and translates as "Battle Lords." According to its official website, "To experience Dagorhir is to grasp at the unobtainable."
Some LARPs are historical, some are fantastical, and the future are set in dystopian worlds of the controlled by androids. There is clearly an appeal to every nook and cranny of the human imagination.
For Bearden, it's become a full-time job and passion. He began LARPing in 1992 and is currently working on
developing a LARP camp at a site near LaCygne, Kan. He founded a local chapter of Heroic, a national LARP organization, in 2009.
Bearden says participants are mostly college age, but they can range anywhere from as young as 4 to working adults. He says its appeal can be different for everyone.
"For some people, it's just as simple as liking to fight," he said. "For other people, it's about creating a character and seeing the character develop over time."
For participant Larisa Hines, LARP is a creative outlet and temporary escape from reality.
"LARPing is my little Las Vegas," said Hines. "What happens in game, stays in game."
Hines has been involved with local LARP organizations for 8 years. She maintains two full-time jobs that sometimes conflict with weekend-long LARP events.
"I just tell people that I'm going camping with some friends if I don't think they'd understand," Hines said.
Both Bearden and Hines are passionate about the characters, the land, and the game. For those who don't know about it, LARP may sound strange. For them, it adds excitement and imagination, which real life lacks, and Hines is committed to it.

Students cope with allergies this season
KELSEA ECKENROTH
keckenroth@kansan.com
Allergies are bad this summer, causing runny noses, sore throats, itchy eyes, and other symptoms that can make summertime difficult to enjoy for people with allergies.
Ron Weiner, an asthma, allergy, and immunology specialist at the Lawrence Asthma Allergy Associates, 346 Maine St., said allergies are worse than usual this year.
"We had such a mild winter that allergies tended to be earlier and more intense than in the usual spring" Weiner said. He says grass and pollen are the two common summer allergies and tend to peak in May and June.
Amanda Kong, a recent graduate from Lawrence, said her grass allergy is worse during the spring and summer.
"Grass doesn't cause my eyes to itch or anything, but I can't sit in it or else I will break out in hives in about a minute," she said. "Ive just learned to avoid it because it's so itchy."
If Kong does touch grass, she said she takes medication to treat her allergy. "I have to take an antihistamine or use a topical cream to get the hives to go down," Kong said.
Weiner said eye drops and nasal spray are available for people whose nose and eyes are affected by allergies,
and cortisone nasal spray is helpful because it decreases mucus, swelling, inflammation, and sensitivity to the nose.
Nasal decongestants can be addictive or harmful, and can cause rebound nasal congestion, so Weiner said he doesn't recommend them. "They have more side effects than any useful purpose," Weiner said.
Weiner said people can get an allergy skin test done, instead of just taking medicine. "The test can tell someone what they are allergic to whether it's certain trees, grass, weeds, dust, mold, or pests," he said. "The test is an inexpensive and non-traumatic way to identify someone's allergies." Asthma Allergy Associates is the only place in Lawrence that does the allergy skin test.
The time of day and different weather conditions can intensify allergies.
Warren Frick, an allergist at the Lawrence Asthma Allergy Associates, said humidity creates mold, which starts growing in the spring and peaks in the fall. Frick also said climate change is causing pollen season to come earlier, stronger, and last longer than usual.
"Pollen is highest in the early morning and on windy days." Frick said. "Keep your windows and doors closed even if the weather is nice."

Summer's top 10 movies sure to thrill
ROYA IBRAHIMI
ribrahimi@kansan.com
Superheroes,aliens and talking teddy bears are coming to Lawrence. To check out the action,just visit the nearest movie theater,and buy a ticket for one of the top 10 movies to see this summer.
- The Dictator: Sacha Baron Cohen's latest controversial film includes jokes that range from stereotypical to political. Cohen plays the dictator of a fictional Middle Eastern country who "lovingly" oppresses his people and goes to great lengths to protect the country from democracy. "The movie was hilarious, I enjoyed it," said Shamroz Khan, a 2012 graduate from Helmand, Afghanistan. "Some scenes were vulgar, but at a whole I was pretty much happy I saw it." Now playing.
- The Avengers: If you're a fan of comic books or just enjoyed watching heroes like Iron Man, Thor and Captain America save the world from destruction over the last few years, then this action extravaganza is for you. A team of super heroes get together to save Earth from the villainous Loki and struggles to overcome big egos. Now playing.
- Men in Black III: The first two films became blockbusters with
their mix of sci-fi and comedy. A decade after the last film was released, the men in black are back. Agent J, played by Will Smith, must travel back in time to prevent an alien assassinating Agent K, played by Tommy Lee Jones. Now playing.
- Prometheus: This highly anticipated movie has ties to 1979's beloved "Alien," and both were directed by Ridley Scott. It is not just filled with action and sci-fi, it is this summer's thriller as well. The film follows a team of explorers who discover the origins of mankind only to find them in a horrific battle to save their lives and the human race. "Aliens itself was definitely a good movie," said Jejo Mathew, a 2012 graduate from Overland Park. "The fact that Ridley Scott is back on for Prometheus speaks volumes about the potential value this movie is going to have. And come on, a prequel to Aliens? Count me in!" Now playing.
- Snow White and the Huntsman: Snow White might make viewers think back to the Disney cartoon, but there is a twist to this fairy tale.

2012 class gift features Centennial Jay
ANNA ALLEN
aellen@kansan.com
Class gifts allow graduating classes to literally leave their mark on the University.
From the bronze Jayhawk statue in front of Strong Hall to an array of scholarships and war bonds, the gifts have come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are a University tradition that dates back to 1873, according to KU Endowment.
A large mosaic of the 1912 Jayhawk was exactly what the Class of
2012 wanted to give the University before parting ways.
Senior class officers began talking to Marion Waller Paulette, the University's Design and Construction Management project manager, in mid-fall.
From there, they knew they wanted a 1912 Jayhawk mosaic because it's the hundredth year since its creation.
At first, they wanted it to be featured on a walkway somewhere, but Paulette said they eventually decided on a wall feature because
of the fragility of mosaics. The mosaic, they decided, should be located somewhere with high traffic.
Though they looked at various places like the Union and buildings on campus that were constructed around 1912, the ultimate decision was Wescoe Hall.
After they determined where and what they wanted, the committee contacted Tina Murano, a mosaic artist from Wichita.
Murano said it was an honor when she was approached to create the piece in early January of this
year. Murano also said it made great sense to accept the project, especially since her daughter Emma is currently a sophomore at the University.
Murano began sketching and collaborating designs with the committee in January. She had the concept to work with, but still had intricate details to work out.
"With it being the 1912 Jayhawk," Murano said, "I played around with size and framing the curve of the frame, mosaic work, and the image of the jayhawk... how to lay the tile
for the curves of the feathers and bird legs to look like little bird legs, and the variety of colors."
Murano said she worked mostly in-studio all the way up until its installation before graduation in early May.
After nearly half a year planning, fundraising, and creating, the Class of 2012 has left their colorful mark in the entryway of the Underground in Wesco Hall with the help of some Kansas talent.

RECREATION CENTER
Guest membership offered at Rec Center
The Ambler Student Recreation Center is now offering a "Home for the Summer" membership. This membership is for non-KU students who attend other colleges, but are living in Lawrence for the summer. To get a "Home for the Summer" membership, students must present their college ID and their spring 2012 and fall 2012 class schedules and proof of residency at their college. The cost is
$5.20 per week or $20.83 per month.
"Home for the Summer" is a pilot program. Jill Urkoski, associate director at the recreation center, said the membership is an opportunity for non-KU students to use the facility and spark interest in the University in potential students. Urkoski said KU students are the top priority, however, and if the membership affects their recreation center experience, they will discontinue the membership.

STAY HYDRATED
PAGE 13
Water is the way to stay cool

JESSiCA JANASZ/KANSAN
Kristen Meier, a KU graduate student, drinks a bottle of water after a run in the heat to stay hydrated. "I try to drink an entire bottle before and after," Meier said.
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Whether drinking it or playing in it, water is the secret to staying cool this summer. With temperatures expected to reach into the 100s, according to Matt Elwell, a Channel 6 News meteorologist, students are getting creative with ways to keep cool.
"My philosophy is go anywhere near water," said Larry Flanagan, a junior from Raymore, Mo.
Flanagan enjoys going to the pool or the lake during the summer, and his favorite refreshment is summer brew, a mixture of beer, vodka and lemonade.
Jenna Fornari, a junior from
Cleveland, Ohio, also likes to be near water during the summer. Last year, Fornari spent a day at Oceans of Fun, a waterpark in Kansas City, Mo. Fornari also likes to hang out with friends at the pool and drink strawberry daquiri to cool off.
But the summer heat can be dangerous if proper precautions are not taken; someone can become dehydrated, or have heat strokes from being in the sun too long.
Roxie Dohogne, a registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students should try to avoid being outside from around 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun is the hottest. If exposure can't be avoided, Dohogne said to take breaks in a shady area and wear protective clothing.
Elwell said to pay attention to humidity. The higher the humidity in the air, the less efficiently the human body can produce sweat, which is the natural way it cools off.
Staying hydrated is important Dohogne said. Drinking clear liquids such as water helps keep the body from dehydrating, which is the most common side effect from prolonged sun exposure. Dohogne to stay away from caffeinated beverages, because they dehydrate the body.
Common side effects of dehydration are headache and fatigue, and if the body has stopped sweating, Dohogne said students should see their physician.

SCHOLARSHIP
Late Topeka couple donates scholarship
A new scholarship is available to students studying abroad in Germany, thanks to a $1.7 million gift from the estate of two late Topeka psychiatrists, Dean T. and Elisabeth Collins. The scholarship will provide support for students to study at an institution of higher education in Germany.
According to a news release, the Collinses loved the arts and donated significantly to the KU School of Music. The scholarship will focus on KU students studying music, particularly opera, but it is open to other majors as well.

ATHLETES GET READY
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
dderryberry@kansan.com
From athletes who have chosen to take time away from the University, to athletes still living in Jayhawker Towers and taking courses, Howard Graham, Learning Services Coordinator for KU Athletics, said that a lot is still expected from the student athletes during the off-season, wherever they are.
Whether an athlete is here,
home, working or traveling, their
teams expect them to maintain their education obligations and stay in shape.
Michael Reynolds, a sophomore from Wichita who is an outside linebacker for the football team, says that he and his teammates take advantage of the summer semester to stay in shape, keep ahead in classes and create deeper bonds with one another.
"We have summer conditioning and summer courses right now," Reynolds said. "It's not actually a requirement, but most of everyone
[on the football team] is here to get ready for the fall. Mostly we're just spending time with the new guys, getting to know them and bringing them in and making sure they feel comfortable."
Associate Director of Athletics Jim Marchiony says that it is imperative for teammates to spend time with each other, especially over summer when everyone has more time to do so. Marchiony says this is the key to the success of any of the University's teams.
"Summer is a great time for athletes to acclimate themselves to college life in a much less stressful atmosphere and it's also a time for team members to bond, socially, academically and athletically." Marchiony said. "National championships are won in the off-season; part of the summer experience is the bonding experience with each other."

COMMENTARY
Price is out of excuses for performance
There is no denying the charisma of Kansas baseball coach Ritch
I charisma of Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. A native of California, Price is as low-key as any true Midwesterner and as approachable as Bill Self. Athletic directors drool over the persona he embodies.
There is also no denying what Price has accomplished since taking over KU baseball in 2003: seven 30-win seasons, more than 300 wins, 38 players drafted and the Jayhawks' first conference title since 1949 in 2006.
By Blake Schuster
bchuster@kansan.com
But recently, Kansas has struggled to be anything but the Big 12's doormat, and the Skipper has yet to right the ship.
The Jayhawks finished below .500 the last two seasons. They knocked off number two seed, Texas A&M, in the Big 12 Championship last week — before getting ousted by Missouri — in a tournament that they almost didn't qualify for.
"When you've got 13 freshmen on your roster in this league, you've got a tough task ahead of you," Price said after Kansas' season ending loss to Missouri. "I knew it was going to be a long season with growing pains."
Even though Price is a top recruiter, (move before Even though, as a sentence) the same justification for losing year after year just isn't enough.
E itchoes what he said about his youngsters at the conclusion of the 2010 season when the Jayhawks finished in 6th.
"We've got to get older and more experienced in order to finish games," Price said after failing to make the Big 12 tournament last season. "It just goes back to the fact that we need to continue to develop our guys."
"They have had their ups and downs like a lot of freshmen do during the course of the season. They are a big part of our future."
The 2010 Jayhawks had seven players get drafted. As for the freshmen that Price excitedly alluded to in his postseason remarks
— pitchers Tanner Poppe and Thomas Taylor — Poppe ended up in the bullpen as an unreliable closer, while Taylor has consistently kept her ERA around 4.50.
In a sport that goes hand-inhand with numbers, here are a few to ponder: two, one and zero.
In the Rich Price era, the team has two NCAA tournament appearances, one Big 12 tournament championship, zero finishes higher than 5th in the conference.
Perhaps consistently raising banners in the building next door to Hoglund Ballpark casts an inferiority complex over Kansas baseball. There is no denying that in the shadows of Allen Fieldhouse lurks a second-rate baseball team, but at least they're young.

Miami Heat's Chris Bosh, center, Mario Chalmers and LeBron James congratulate each other during the second half of Game 7 of the NBA basketball playoffs Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics. The Heat defeated the Celtics 101-88.
Heat beat Celtics in 7, go to finals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — LeBron James had 31 points and 12 rebounds, Chris Bosh hit a career-best three 3-pointers the last sparking the run that put it away and the Heat won their second straight Eastern Conference title by beating the Boston Celtics 101-88 in Game 7 on Saturday night.
Next up, the NBA finals — and James' third try at that elusive first championship. A year after watching someone else celebrate on their home floor, the Miami Heat were the ones dancing at midcourt.
Miami opens the title series against the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night. The Heat got there by outscoring Boston 28-15 in the fourth quarter, with the "Big Three" of Dwyane Wade, Bosh and James scoring every Miami point.
Rajon Rondo finished with 22 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for Boston, which got 19 points from Paul Pierce in what might be the last game of the "Big Four" era for the Celtics.
"We decided to come together and play together for a reason," Wade said.
Down by seven at the half and eight early in the third quarter, Miami started clawing back. An 8-0 run tied it at 59-all, capped by Wade hitting a jumper.
There were six lead changes and five more ties in the final 7 minutes of the third. Bosh scored with 29 seconds left for the last of those ties, and it was 73-all going into the fourth.
But then Bosh hit his third 3-pointer with 7:17 left. James made a runner on the next Miami trip, and suddenly the Heat had their biggest lead of the night to that point, 88-82 with 6:54 remaining.
"He was big time — every shot, every defensive play, every rebound — we missed him," James said of Bosh. "We're just happy to have him back at the right time. If it wasn't for him and the rest of the guys that stepped up, we don't win this game."
They were on their way.
"We had nothing left," Rivers said. "That's how it felt, as a coach... But overall, I don't know if I've ever had a group like this."
"Give them credit," Rondo said. "They spread the points out as a team tonight."
"That's what we talk about," said James, who lost Game 7 appearances with Cleveland in 2006 and 2008. "It has to be a collective group to win the championship. Everybody was in tune today. We wanted to give our fans a big win. We look forward to the next challenge."

WATER
Clinton Lake algae adds odd taste to local water
The water in Lawrence may have a strange taste and smell because of an algae compound found in Clinton Lake, said Jeanette Klamm, the utilities program manager for the Lawrence Department of Utilities. Clinton Lake is one of the water sources
for the water treatment division of Lawrence. The water may have an earthy or musty taste, but Klamm said the water meets all health standards and is safe to drink.
The city has started testing and making changes to the water, Klamm said. They have seen improvement after feeding carbon into the water, but they
are still trying to find the best cure.
Klamm said the city is not sure how long it will take to get the water back to normal because it depends on the condition of Clinton Lake, but the city hopes it won't last long.

DYLAN DERRYBERRY editor@kansan.com
The Kansas Geological Survey awarded five University students with various outstanding achievement awards. The KGS conducts research and studies to better understand the geology of Kansas and works to preserve the state's natural resources. The recipients received $500 cash and certificates.
Brian Platt, a 2012 doctorate graduate from Wayne, N.J., was presented the Lee C. and Darcy Gerhard Field Research Student Award for his work with trace fossils around Scott State Lake in western Kansas.
Mark Villarreal, a graduate student from Corpus Christi Texas, received the William W. Hambleton Student Research Award for his work on techniques for synthesizing the mineral siderite in microbial cultures.
Peter Monshizadeh, a 2012 graduate from Lawrence, received the Jack Dangermond/
Esri Geospatial Technologies Student Award, Monshizadeh scanned numerous topographic maps, then digitally archived them for easier access.
Jerry Gabrie, an industrial design student from Shawnee, KS, received the Norman Plummer Outstanding Student Award. Gabrie transported drilling core samples north of Lawrence, where he prepared them for examination.
Aimee Scheffer, a graduate student from Bennet, Colo., was also presented the Norman Plummer Award for her work testing the safety of storing CO2 underground.
"Obviously [the students] contribute a significant amount to what we do here at KGS," said Annette Delaney, Human Resources Manager for the KGS. "Each of these awards come from KU Endowment, so to be able to have support to recognize the exceptional talents of these students is great."

GREECE
Euro safe after conservative party wins Parliament election
EUROPE
ATHENS — Fears of an imminent Greek exit from Europe's joint currency receded Sunday after the conservative New Democracy party came first in a critical election and pro-bailout parties won enough seats to form a joint government.
As central banks stood ready to intervene in case of financial turmoil, Greece held its second national election in six weeks after an inconclusive ballot on May 6.
With one party advocating ripping up Greece's multibillion-euro bailout deal, the election was seen as a vote on whether Greece should stay in the 17-nation joint euro currency. A Greek exit would have had potentially catastrophic consequences for other ailing European nations, the United States and the entire global economy. Official results showed New Democracy winning 130 of the 300 seats in Parliament.

Greece voted Sunday amid global fears that victory by parties that have vowed to cancel the country's international bailout agreements and accompanying austerity measures could undermine the European Union's joint currency.

U.N. demands civilians be evacuated
BEIRUT (AP) — The head of the U.N. observers' mission in Syria demanded Sunday that warring parties allow the evacuation of women, children, elderly and sick people endangered by fighting in the besieged city of Homs and other combat zones.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood said the observers had been trying for the past week to bring out families and wounded trapped in Homs by heavily shelling of rebel-held areas. The offensive is part of a broader push by President Bashar Assad's forces to regain rebel-held villages and towns throughout the country.

"The parties must reconsider their position and allow women, children, the elderly and the injured to leave conflict zones without any preconditions and ensure their safety," Mood said.

PRIME TIME
'Dallas' draws big ratings
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — TNT's reboot of "Dallas" struck oil. Its premiere on June 13 drew nearly 7 million viewers, making it the No. 1 scripted series premiere on all of cable so far this year.
The rebirth of the classic CBS
series, which stars veterans Larry Hagman and Linda Gray reprising their roles as J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing alongside younger brethren Jesse Metcalfe and Josh Henderson, garnered 6.8 million viewers. The debut unsurprisingly drew hefty numbers in the older demographic: Nearly 1.9 million
folks who tuned-in were in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demo and 2.5 million were 25-54. You can guess who made up the remaining million.
The two-hour premiere of the new "Dallas," which Los Angeles Times critic Robert Lloyd said is "very much like the old" in his
review, even outdid broadcast networks during its 9-11 p.m. EDT airing. But considering the numbers the soap generated during its original run, its Wednesday showing is extremely undersized.The last episode of the original series which aired in 1991, brought in a whopping 33 million viewers .

Next season will be the last for 'Weeds'
LOS ANGELES — Showtime's upcoming eighth season of "Weeds" will be the last for the long-running comedy, a network spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.

Created by Jenji Kohan and starring Mary-Louise Parker as a pot-dealing mom, "Weeds" was one the premium cable channel's eminent series when it made its debut in 2005 and has picked up numerous Emmy nominations during its tenure.

The Lionsgate-produced comedy averaged around 720,000 viewers last season, according to Nielsen. News of the series' end comes just days after the network announced it picked up two drama pilots Liev Schreiber's "Ray Donovan" and Michael Sheen's "Masters of Sex" as series.
Mary-Louise Parker stars in "Weeds" as a suburban widow who turns to selling marijuana to support her family. The final season of "Weeds" will begin airing Sunday, July 1, at 10 p.m. EDT on Showtime.
Some cast and crew members have already lined up work: Justin Kirk (who plays Uncle Andy) had his comedy pilot "Animal Practice" ordered to series by NBC and will launch in the fall. And Kohan in March landed an overall deal with Lionsgate, where she is working

Controversy surrounds show about US Hutterite colonies
Hutterite Judy Hofer picks carrots from the garden in King Colony, Mont. "Meet the Hutterites," a National Geographic documentary series.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A TV documentary series about an Anabaptist community in Montana offers a "distorted" and contrived image, bishops representing the Hutterite faith in the U.S. and Canada said Thursday.
John Stahl, Peter Entz and John Waldner, bishops for the three sects encompassing the roughly 50,000 Hutterites and 500 colonies in North America, said in a joint statement they are "deeply disappointed" in National Geographic Channel's "American Colony: Meet the Hutterites."
The 10-part series that began airing last month promised a rare inside look at Hutterite colony life, focusing on the King Ranch Colony
"What was promised by the producers to be a 'factual documentary' is, in fact, a distorted and exploitative version of Hutterite life," the bishops said, one that paints all Hutterites in a "negative and inaccurate way."
The bishops accused producers of contriving scenes and dialogue in a "make believe" portrayal of "how we live and the spiritual beliefs we cherish."
David Lyle, National Geographic Channel's CEO, vigorously defended the channel and the series.
"This is a declaration of war from the Hutterite elders against the National Geographic Society, calling into account our fairness," Lyle said. "We absolutely are fairly representing the King community."
The bishops' criticisms reflect "the very tensions that are at the core of this story," he said, which he described as the conflict between Hutterite traditions and rules, and some colony members' efforts to remain devout while adapting to 21st-century society.
The Hutterites are Protestants similar to the Amish and Mennonites who live a life centered on their religion, but unlike the others, Hutterites live in German-speaking communes scattered across northern U.S. states and Canada.
"American Colony" depicts members of the 59-member King Ranch commune, located more than 100 miles from Billings, Mont., as drinking alcoholic beverages and cursing.
Some parents are shown questioning their faith's tenets, while a restless teenager flouts rules on dress and dating.
King Ranch is among about 50 colonies in Montana averaging roughly 100 people each, according to a 2010 state report.
The colony had declined comment before the series began airing and had no comment Thursday, according to Kristin Cole, a spokeswoman for the bishops.
"American Colony" producer Jeff Collins, who did not respond to a request for comment, said previously that the series would avoid such reality TV plays as "feeding" lines to people to heighten the drama. He described the production as an ongoing "negotiation," with colony members querying the crew on how and what they were taping.

Celebrities throw Obama fundraisers
Needing to boost his donor base, President Barack Obama is banking on elite entertainers for help so often they have essentially become a cast of characters in his campaign. He is using his Hollywood access and raffling it off as a prize to others, tapping into a culture that revels in celebrity even in hard economic times.
On June 14 at Sarah Jessica Parker's place in the West Village of New York City, the "Sex and the City" star, who is married to actor Matthew Broderick, hosted a cozy $40,000-per-person fundraiser along with Vogue editorin-chief Anna Wintour.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama will then appear at a second glitzy fundraiser in Manhattan, headlined by a performance by Mariah Carey.

Costner and Baldwin battle in court over BP
NEW ORLEANS — Kevin Costner said his reputation was at stake as he defended himself against accusations that he cheated fellow actor Stephen Baldwin out of millions of dollars in a lucrative BP contract for oil-cleaning machines after the 2010 spill.
Baldwin and a friend were seeking $17 million in damages,saying they could have made at least that much in the deal. A federal jury sided with Costner and gave them nothing.
Costner smiled and shook his attorney's hand as a grim-faced Baldwin left the courtroom.
"My name means more to me than money and that's why we didn't settle." Costner said.
After a two-week trial, eight jurors deliberated for less than two hours before giving their decision in the lawsuit brought by Baldwin and his friend, Spyridon Contogouris.
Baldwin referred questions about the verdict to his attorney, James Cobb.
"We're disappointed. We thought we proved rather convincingly that these two guys, Mr. Costner and Mr. Smith, defrauded us," Cobb said. "The jury saw it a different way but we respect the jury's verdict."
Contogouris and Baldwin sold their shares in Ocean Therapy Solutions for $1.4 million and $500,000 respectively. The company was marketing the oil-separating centrifuges
CRYPTOQUIP
Baldwin testified he would have held out for much more if he had known BP had committed to ordering 32 of them. Soon after they sold their shares, the oil giant made an $18 million deposit on a $52 million order.
Attorneys for Costner and Smith said Baldwin and Contogouris knew BP was preparing to order the machines when they walked away from the company rather than gamble for a more lucrative payout.

Chris Brown, Drake involved in club fight
NEW YORK — Police have shut down a New York City nightclub where singer Chris Brown and rapper Drake's entourage got into a bottle-throwing brawl.
A New York Police Department spokeswoman says the club W.I.P in the city's SoHo neighborhood was
closed Saturday, June 16 because of code violations. The NYPD gave no details on the violations.
Chris Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among eight injured during the fight inside the club last week. Police say members of Drake's entourage stopped Brown as he was leaving. The fight escalated and bottles were thrown.

BLOCKBUSTERS
Film hits causing reading craze
Hollywood has been stealing ideas from authors and the stories they write for years, but recently things seem different.
Ever since the very successful "Harry Potter" book series was made into a very successful film series, Hollywood hasn't stopped looking for novels to be turned into either a summer blockbuster or winter hit.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
But now, some books can owe their popularity to their cinematic reincarnations. The two most obvious book-to-movie series that came after "Harry Potter" are "The Twilight Saga" and "Hunger Games Trilogy". But those aren't the only novels being turned into films. Seth Grahame-Smith's new novel genre "horror mash-up" has created two novels, and
two films to boot, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". The first of the two, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is released nationwide June 22. Even today's most popular novel series "50 Shades of Grey" looks like it's going to be made into a movie.
But that's not new. After "Hunger
Games" made its advertising rounds throughout theaters this past year, I remember coming back to Lawrence and people constantly telling me to read "Hunger Games." Although I still have not given "Hunger Games" a chance, everyone else seems to be chomping at the bit.
The funny thing is that "Hunger Games" first started publication in 2008. I didn't hear about it until (very) late 2011. What took so long? Sure, it may have been a pretty successful book before the movie was made, but did the advertising for the movie make the books more popular? If so, I think "Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins owes Hollywood many thanks.
But there is something more important happening here than an author's free publicity. Hollywood may be lazy and just taking story ideas from someone who has already been successful, but the truth is they are getting more people to read. And for someone who is basing his career off of people reading what he writes, I couldn't be happier about this.
I'm not a fan of "Twilight" or "Hunger Games," and I haven't even looked at "50 Shades of Grey" yet, but if people are going to start reading because of movies, I can't complain. Maybe "Hunger Games" will push them to read more often, movie or no movie.

Effects of oil spill still present in Gulf
B british Petroleum's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is still affecting wildlife and seafood businesses.
By Monica Saha
msaha@kansan.com
On April 20, 2010, the BP Horizon Deepwater released 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico over a period of three months. It was the largest accidental marine spill in petroleum history. The explosion killed 11 workers and 17 were injured. Other immediate effects included birds and turtles covered in oil and dying sea coral. Two years later, the oil is no longer seen on the surface. However, scientists have found considerable amounts on the ocean floor. Consequently, fishermen are finding mutant seafood in the Gulf proving lasting effects BP's oil spill has had on the regional ecosystem.
The mutagenesis of the seafood has affected multiple marine species. This
includes fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, and eyeless shrimp. After the oil spill, many fisheries closed due to many marine organisms dying. In short: less business. The fisheries that remained open have to deal with the mutant seafood.
Fisher Tracy Kuhn stated "At the height of the last white shrimp season, in September, one of our friends caught
400 pounds of these." She was referring to the eyeless shrimp. What was most disturbing was these shrimp simply do not lack eyes but eye sockets.
The deformed fish and crustaceans are not solely due to the oil, but the chemical that de-clumped or "broke" the oil up. After the oil spill, BP released almost 2 million gallons of toxic Corexit dispersants. The chemical 2-butoxyethanol in Corexit causes harm to red blood cells as well as kidney and lung damage in humans. It can also arrest the development of human embryos. Imagine the effects it can have on simpler and smaller creatures like seafood. It is possible the mutagen entered the genome of shrimp to the few generations that survived the immediate spill.
Gulf seafood has constantly been tested lower than the safety thresholds
created by the Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. Seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is among the most tested in the world. Recent FDA reports have claimed the seafood as safe as it was two years ago. However, many tourists and locals are reluctant to eat it. BP claims the fish with oozing sores happened before the spill due to parasites in the ocean. Regardless, the oil spill has had pronounced effects after the initial explosion.
This catastrophic event has negatively affected the economy of Gulf fisheries as well as crustacean diversity in the ocean. This is something that may never be restored.

Protect skin to maintain youthful look
MEGAN HINMAN
mhinman@kansan.com
Sunlight is a carcinogen, meaning there is no safe dose of it, said Jerry Brewer, dermatologic surgeon at Mayo Clinic. If your skin turns any color other than its natural shade, it has been damaged. Sunlight is unavoidable, however, so
it's important to take the necessary precautions this summer to protect your skin.
One simple thing you can do to stay healthy is do a head-to-toe monthly self-skin exam. People who do this have higher survival rates of melanoma because they are able to catch it early.
People with blond or red hair, blue or green eyes, or more than 15 moles need to take extra care because they are at higher risk, Brewer said. But most importantly,
always wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
"If you put it on and still get burned, chances are you didn't put on enough," said Lee Bittenbender, dermatologist at Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St.
He says it takes about an ounce — one shot glass — of sunscreen to cover your body sufficiently, but most people only put on one-third of the amount of sunscreen they need. It's also important to reapply the same amount after you've been
sweating or swimming, when you may have toweled off your layer of protection.
If you're going to a tanning salon, however, the necessary skin care is different.
At SunKissed Tan & Salon, no one guarantees you won't get burned, but they come pretty close.
"If anybody burns in here," owner Mike Byrnes said, "we made a mistake." Byrnes is dedicated to educating customers on how to tan safely, which includes extensively moisturizing your skin before tanning and limiting time in beds to only what your skin can handle.

SunKissed, which is different from a normal bed because it filters out ultraviolet B (UVB) rays to make room for the UVA rays to oxidize your skin. Byrnes said.
MIDWEST PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
"The best way to promote better skin tanning is with hydrated skin," Byrnes said. He doesn't recommend using baby oil, which can dry out your skin. And though getting a head start on your summer tan might lower your chances of burning later, you still have to be careful. "The tan will not protect you from unlimited exposure."
Rachel Stattelman, a freshman from Topeka, tans twice a week. Though she uses a tan-deepening moisturizer in the tanning bed, she uses sunscreen when she tans outside. She says she's never been burned because she has built up her skin tolerance.
Stattelman also always wears eye covers to protect her eyes from UV rays while she's in a tanning bed. If she doesn't, she says, she could develop cataracts. "It's just like staring at the sun."
She uses the high pressure bed at
Though there are some ways to improve your tanning experience and decrease the amount of damage to your skin, it is important not to overdo it.
Bittenbender said that warnings about skin cancer and cautions to protect skin may seem like they don't apply to students, who can sometimes feel invincible. He demands students' attention by approaching the topic differently.
Both dermatologists equated tanning to smoking cigarettes. Similar to cigarettes' relation to lung cancer, the more often you tan, the higher risk you're at for developing skin cancer, Brewer said.
"This will make you look old," he says of tanning. "If you want to look as good as you can for as long as you can, sun protection is the main thing you can do."

OBITUARY
King's death brings race riot memories
B.J. Smith
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rodney King died at 47. The black motorist's 1991 videotaped beating by Los Angeles police officers began one of the most destructive race riots in the nation's history.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Twenty years later, Rodney King's simple yet profound question still lingers, from the street where Trayvon Martin died all the way to the White House:
"Can we all get along?"
Spoken as fires of rage and frustration wrecked huge swaths of Los Angeles, the plea distilled centuries of racial strife into a challenge — and a goal. Today, the various answers to his question measure the lasting significance of King, who died in California Sunday after he was found at the bottom of his swimming pool. He was 47.
"It was a critical question at a moment of crisis that forged our human bonds with one another," said Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson. "It grew up out of the hope and the desire, especially of people of color, to see this nation come together."
The nation first saw King as a black man curled up on the ground by his car, being beaten by four white police officers. On parole for a robbery conviction, he had been drinking, then speeding, and had refused to pull over. Police finally pulled King from his car, then struck him more than 50 times with batons and boots.
One of King's legacies is that he raised the curtain on the video age: If a man had not stepped outside of his home and videotaped the beating, King would have been lost to history.
King became an enduring symbol of police brutality - proof positive,
to many people, that the dogs and fire hoses Connor, the Birmingham police chief, loosed on civil rights marchers in 1960s Alabama had merely been updated, not eliminated.
"He represented the anti-police brutality and anti-racial profiling movement of our time," the Rev. Al Sharpton said Sunday.
The videotape was the central piece of evidence at the four officers' trial, which became a classic piece of modern racial drama.
There were no blacks on the jury in the predominantly white suburb of Simi Valley, Calif. After the police were acquitted — one got a mistrial — Los Angeles was engulfed in a fiery uprising that lasted three days, killed 55 people and injured more than 2,000.

Sorority sisters take top spots in Miss Kansas 2012 pageant
KELSEA ECKENROTH keckenroth@kansan.com
Some say beauty is pain, but for two University students,beauty means opportunity.
Sloane Lewis, a senior from Norwich, was crowned Miss Kansas 2012. Brooke Taylor, a senior from North Platte, Neb., won first runner-up in this year's Miss Kansas Pageant, which took place from June 7-9 in Pratt.
Lewis and Taylor, who lived down the hall from each other in Alpha Chi Omega for two years, had to balance pageant life with school and social life.
"We did a lot of appearances around Lawrence together, and it was nice to have a sidekick to go places with," Lewis said. "It's hard to get yourself to do stuff, so we kept each other going."
Taylor missed class a few times for appearances, but other than that, the pageant didn't interfere with school.
"I would have appearances and stuff on the weekends a lot and couldn't hang out with my friends as much as I wanted to, but I gained a lot more than I ever sacrificed," Taylor said.
Taylor said that preparing for the pageant, along with finishing her paperwork and building a pageant
platform, taught her a lot about time management.
Lewis and Taylor are familiar with the stereotypes that some people have about beauty pageants.
"I think it's hard for people to see the positive things about pageants because we have things like Toddlers and Tiaras," Lewis said.
The Miss Kansas pageant gives out $45 million in tuition scholarship money each year. Lewis earned approximately $10,000 in scholarship money when she won the state title. "This is not a beauty pageant by any means," she said. "It's definitely a scholarship organization."
Another beauty pageant title went to Gentry Miller, 2010 graduate from Wichita, who won the 2012 Miss Kansas USA title. Miller also competed in this year's Miss USA pageant on June 3.
Taylor is an intern at The Willow Domestic Violence center in Lawrence where she is an advocate for her pageant platform, teen dating-violence awareness and prevention. The pageant gave her the opportunity to speak before the senate regarding a bill about dating-violence policies in schools across Kansas.

"I don't think I would have gotten these opportunities without having a title," Taylor said. "I feel like it has benefitted me so much."

"It helped me be a public figure and be someone that could speak to others," she said.

Kickball league brings crowds, competition
JESSICA TIERNEY
nirvana@ku.edu
Sunday nights in east Lawrence usually mean one of two things: playing kickball or watching kickball in the Kaw Valley Kickball League (KVKL).
Every Sunday evening at parks across Lawrence, the combined energy of hundreds of spectators and more than 20 players is enough to conjure up some sort of athletic deity. In fact, for some players, watching their kick soar through the air at just the right angle and into the outfield is the most akin feeling to glory one can experience on a sports field.
"I love it because it's both really competitive and fun-spirited at the same time," said Geoff Wright, team captain for the Rockets and former commissioner of the KVKL. This is the eleventh season Wright has played in the league.
The KVKL was founded in 2002 and is now the largest kickball league in the city, consisting of more than 32 teams.
Groups of friends and local businesses compete every Sunday at parks throughout the city. The various teams end the day with a "Game of the Week" held at 9 p.m. at Hobbs Park in east Lawrence, 11th and Delaware Streets.
Many students play in the league and enjoy the lively spirit of the game and the different people involved.
"Ive played sports my whole life, and it's a good chance to get away from other students and just hang with the locals," said Mitch Favrow, a senior. Favrow plays for the Rockets, a KVKL team.
For Rockets player Adrienne Brown, a senior from El Segundo, Calif., the friendly competition is appealing.
"I like how it's so competitive, but everyone is friends," she said. "During the games, it gets so heated."
On a recent evening at Hobbs Park, the teams Balls Deep and West Coast Saloon played a match under the bright lights of the park's stadium. Both teams had a 1-1 record going into the game. The venue was lively as locals from all walks of life watched and socialized. There was even a crowd rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch.
West Coast Saloon wiped out Balls Deep and swiftly took a 10-3 victory. As per the spirit of the league, the players shook hands at the end.
The spirit of the game has also led to teammate romance.
"Last year, there was a proposal during a game," said Diana Garcia, co-captain of the Ghosts and current KVKL commissioner. "Then they did a victory lap around the bases."

Program for WWII Veterans in jeopardy after injury
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan.—Efforts to take World War II veterans to see the war's memorial in Washington are in flux in Kansas.
The Wichita Eagle reported that one organization that conducted the free trips is on the verge of disappearing.
Problems came to a head after Springfield, Ohio-based Honor Flight decided it no longer wanted Great Bend-based Central Prairie Honor Flights to help organize trips for the national network. Issues included a veteran breaking a rib after falling out of a top bunk in April 2011, reports being filed late and checks going un-

The bunk-bed incident happened after Curtis learned of inexpensive rates at the 4-H's national headquarters and told Miller she should book them instead of the hotel where the veterans usually stayed.

Gluten-free diets difficult but healthy
ROYA IBRAHIMI
ribrahimi@kansan.com
When you walk into a restaurant today and open its menu, you notice a gluten-free section. When you walk into a grocery store, you see a "gluten-free" aisle. The question for many is, "What is gluten?" Some may know that gluten is a type of wheat, or that there are people who are gluten intolerant. Yet, many people don't understand the term "gluten-free."
Beth Kerling, senior research associate and registered dietitian for the Department of Dietetics and Nutrition's Nutrition Clinic at KU Medical center, said gluten is a protein formed when certain cereal flours are moistened and mixed, and it is a primary element in wheat, rye and barley.
Kerlin said that because of manufacturing and processing, gluten is also found in other grains including oats, malt, bulgur, and spelt.
Although many consumers have added gluten-free products to their diet by choice, others have been restricted because of the genetic disorder known as Celiac disease.
Natalie Bragg, a senior from Shawnee, has this disease, which causes a severe immune reaction to gluten. Kerling says if left untreated, the small intestine loses its ability to absorb nutrients, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating.
"I have been eating gluten-free for three and a half years," Bragg said. "I can't eat anything with wheat, flour, rye, barley or other grains; even things like soy sauce can have wheat flour in it."
Bragg must read each ingredient label carefully before buying food because even a small amount of gluten can cause sickness for days.
Similar to Bragg, Megan Nguyen, a university graduate from Shawnee, is gluten-intolerant, but does not have Celiac disease. Gluten-intolerant people are not at risk for the nutritional deficiencies that people with Celiac disease face.
Nguyen has been gluten-intolerant for most of her life, but didn't know
until her freshman year of college.
"I always had terrible stomach pains and never knew why," Nguyen said.
A doctor's visit five years ago discovered her consumption of gluten caused the stomach pains.
Nguyen said this diagnosis brought a positive and healthy change to her life.
"The benefits of not eating gluten have made me so much healthier," Nguyen said, who is now a certified nutritionist due to this experience. "I feel so much better than I did just a few years ago, and I learned all about how bad gluten is for people."
Both Bragg and Nguyen said finding gluten-free options while eating out is one of the largest downfalls of
their diet.
"It's an expensive and restrictive diet," Bragg said. "I miss eating Red Lobster's cheese biscuits and Big Macs, but eating this way insures that I am not bedridden and nauseous all day."
However, Bragg said many restaurants in Lawrence offer appealing gluten-free choices.
"Lawrence is a surpassingly good place to live if you have to eat gluten free;" Bragg said. "Fuzzy's (Tacos) is perfect for those eating on a glutenfree diet. You can find something for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never eat the same thing twice. I say this from experience."

Keep clean to avoid this summer's pest problems
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Joy Stewart, a senior from Overland Park, talks about how she has had more issues this summer with ants and other pests around the house and near the windows. Stewart had to call her landlord to have maintenance come take care of the pests because "It's really frustrating that there are so many and that it's such a problem this year," Stewart explained.
When Lucas Singleton gets ready in the morning, it's a battle. Instead of his usual morning routine, he is preoccupied with killing every ant he finds. He has had an ant problem since spring. Singleton, a recent graduate from Hutchison, said he has found more than 100 ants in his kitchen at one time.
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
The rise in pests has also affected local farmers this year, and the mild winter may have something to do with it. Stephanie Thomas, owner of Spring Creek Farm in Baldwin City, said pests have been extremely bad because they were able to survive winter and grow into larger numbers.
"We are going to have a lot of problems this summer," Thomas said.
Thomas has lost much of her lettuce crop to caterpillars, which she has had to spray for three times. In a normal growing season, Thomas said she would only have to spray once. She also said people may notice a rise in produce prices because spraying for pests is expensive for farmers.
Nichole Lingenfelter, office manager at Advantage Pest Control in De Soto, also said the winter has had an effect on pests. Lingenfelter said this summer, residents are probably going to see a lot of ants
and spiders.
Lingenfelter said residents should make sure to clean up after themselves around the house and the exterior of the house to keep bugs out. Residents should
also make sure not to leave piles of wood close to the house.
Apartments and houses should be sprayed for pests every three months. Most apartment complexes have terminators come out
to spray.
Although Singleton's apartment is sprayed twice a year, he has yet to find relief from the ants. After cleaning and spraying Raid, the ants still came back.
Lingenfelter said students should call their management and let them know if they are experiencing issues with pests.

Tornado-torn town rebuilt eco-friendly
SCHNEIDER'S TREE
Wind, which stripped many Greensburg trees of their bark during the tornado, is now harnessed by wind turbines all over the town. The wind turbines are one of several clean energy sources the town is utilizing to save on energy costs and to reduce its carbon footprint.

At first, Greensburg looks similar to the many small towns you would pass through on U.S. Highway 54.
But there are also barren patches of land, many of them dotted with dilapidated homes, shacks and abandoned farm equipment. And scattered among the handful of these blank blocks are newly built homes, strangely juxtaposed against the remaining wreckage of a tornado that leveled nearly all of Greensburg five years ago. The town is still here because of a massive amount of support from countless individuals since the disaster. But the town hasn't just been rebuilt — Greensburg has been reenvisioned. Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, is certainly proud of how far the town has come, but he doesn't consider the mission complete.
"We want to keep growing," said Dixson, 58. "We can never 'be done,' because you're either growing or you're dying. There's no staying put in one place."
The Tornado
On May 4, 2007, an EF5 (the most damaging category, with winds over 200 mph) tornado struck Greensburg, a 1.5 square-mile town in south-central Kansas, 110 miles west of Wichita. The tornado was approximately 1.7 miles across, wide enough to encompass the small town of about 1,400 people. National Weather Service estimated the tornado's wind speed to be 205 mph. Eleven people died and 95 percent of the town was completely destroyed. The only historic building downtown to survive was the S.D. Robinett Building, today an antique shop.
A sergeant for the Kiowa County
Police Department, Zane Huffman, was on duty the night of the storm, helping clear the trashed roads. Huffman, 48, knew where his children were at the time of the tornado, but had no way of contacting them — cell phone reception was shot within the city limits. People searching for loved ones immediately after the tornado were forced to drive to nearby Haviland or Mullinville and attempt calls to friends and family, but the disabled phone service in Greensburg made it unlikely for anyone within the city to receive the calls. Navigating the streets was impossible, so it was out of the question to physically search for anyone in the aftermath
"You couldn't get anywhere," Huffman said of the debris-ridden streets. "I tried calling the next morning when I was off duty, but couldn't get a hold of them. I didn't see or talk to my two kids until the
next afternoon."
Houses were in pieces in the street, personal belongings strewn among splintered wood and shattered glass. Kathleen Sebelius, Kansas governor then, announced her plan for Greensburg to become the "greenest city in the state." The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were immediately deployed, along with volunteers from throughout the country. Greensburg began the slow but steady healing process.
FEMA, EPA and Greensburg officials created an immediate recovery plan and a long-term recovery plan, the latter containing most of the "green" initiatives. Perhaps the most important immediate goal, aside from cleanup, was FEMA's building of 300 trailers over the first two years, to assist residents moving back into town (it was eventually dubbed "FEMAville," among a handful of other nicknames). The agency also set up trailers over the summer to serve as classrooms for the start of school in August.
The Recovery
Teigan Ellegood, now an eighth-gradeer at Kiowa County Junior High in Greensburg, didn't live in town when the tornado hit, but his family uprooted and moved from a nearby town right away to join in the recovery effort. Ellegood's family had lost everything in a house fire four years before the 2007 Greensburg tornado. Ellegood, 15, says it was his mother's decision.
"She knew what it was like to lose everything," he said.
The family slept on the floor of a nearby church, crammed alongside displaced families, when they arrived in Greensburg the month after the tornado. Ellegood attended fifth grade in a trailer that fall

Mayor Bob Dixon uses his laptop to show an aerial view of the destruction the town of Greensburg faced in the wake of the 2007 tornado. The tornado was an EF5 --- the strongest kind --- with an estimated wind speed of 205 mph and a diameter of 1.7 miles.

— most trailers housed two grades from kindergarten through twelfth.
"Most of the kids I talked to on the first day of school were relieved," Ellegood says. "They didn't think they'd have an education that year."
But many people didn't return to Greensburg after the tornado. The town lost about half its population to emigration — the population is currently about 777. Residents claimed their insurance money and moved away — the rebuilding process was too tedious and expensive for many.
Greensburg Today
Over time, natural beauty has grown in and around the remaining ruins. And the town isn't ashamed of or hiding the telltale signs of the major disaster. An old auto-repair garage has, "Open as soon as we can," endearingly spray-painted on its side facing the highway.
The town doesn't look like your typical rural Kansas town, especially one that was destroyed by a tornado five years ago. Most prominently, there are ten large wind turbines three miles outside of town and smaller turbines throughout the city. Many of the municipal buildings near the center of town are sleek, modern structures you might find in Seattle or Tokyo (Mayor Dixson likens the rooftop solar panels to skate park ramps). But they aren't designed this way
for style.
Greensburg was the first U.S. town to achieve LEED Platinum ratings for all its city-owned buildings. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum is the highest rating a building can receive under the U.S. Green Building Council's rating system. Greensburg has the most LEED-certified buildings per capita in the world, making it a global model for researchers, students and developers in the sustainable energy field.
The impressive SunChips Business Incubator (perhaps Greensburg's most practical and progressive addition) is a key component to the town's long-term recovery plan. SunChips donated $1 million toward the building's design and execution, and Leonardo DiCaprio chipped in another $400,000. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Greensburg covered the rest.
The building offers five streetlevel retail spaces and nine second-level offices as well as a storm shelter. The incubator, completed two years after the tornado, is city-owned and LEED Platinum-certified. Make it easier for new local businesses to get off the ground and "hatch out" into the city to survive on their own, as Mayor Dixon puts it.

The list goes on, and most of these features are common among the LEED Platinum buildings in Greensburg: the school, the 5.4.7 Arts Center (designed and constructed by 22 KU architecture students in the Studio 804 graduate design program), the BTI John Deere dealership, the hospital and Prairie Pointe Townhomes. But all of these significant changes to the landscape don't erase the fact that a tornado destroyed Greensburg and that it could happen again.
Ray Stegman, Greensburg's emergency manager, said earlier this spring the whole town immediately disappeared underground and into shelters at the first news of a tornado warning.
I think the biggest thing people miss is the trees. It's probably the biggest thing for me, personally. Everyone used to sit in their backyard under the shade and hang out, but there just aren't that many trees here anymore."
Stegman, who worked for local law enforcement for 16 years before the 2007 tornado, was asked by the city to be emergency manager just two days after the tornado. He immediately picked up the duties of organizing cleanups, helping FEMA set up trailers and whatever else he was asked to do.
The city administration has fought an uphill battle since May 2007, overcoming economic, environmental and even political obstacles.
Once Greensburg was established as a burgeoning "green"
community, conferences for disaster recovery and sustainable planning began inviting Mayor Dixson to share his story of Greensburg's transformation from a pile of rubble into a worldwide model for sustainable communities. At one such conference, a sustainable energy expert asked Dixson why the town decided to rebuild in the first place, considering the tornado left practically nothing behind and the town was "in the middle of nowhere."
"It was never a question for any of us — whether we should rebuild," Dixson said. "For one, it's our home, our town. And secondly, Greensburg isn't in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of everywhere."

Two convicts escape in truck, now on the run in stolen car
WINFIELD — A box truck that two inmates used to escape from the Winfield Correctional Facility in south-central Kansas has been found abandoned about 15 miles away.
The Kansas Department of Corrections said in a news release that the truck sustained a blowout northeast of Rock and was found Sunday, June 17.
MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2012
The discovery was made one day after corrections officials
identified 52-year-old Robert Cook and 48-year-old Frank Crutchfield as missing.
Now, officials say a truck belonging to the nearby city of Douglass is missing and that the fugitives are suspected of taking it. The vehicle is described as a dark blue 2006 GMC Sierra with a Kansas license tag of 74914.
Authorities are asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of the two men or the missing truck to contact law enforcement.

Hurricane Carlotta causes major destruction in Mexico
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ACAPULCO, Mexico Hurricane Carlotta slammed into Mexico's resort-studded Pacific coast late Friday, June 15, toppling trees and lashing hotels while authorities evacuated people from low-lying areas.
The rapidly changing hurricane made landfall as a Category 1 storm
near Puerto Escondido, a laid-back port popular with surfers, and is expected to push inland and northward in the direction of Acapulco.
"The wind is incredible and the trees are swaying so much. A window just shattered," said Ernesto Lopez, a 25-year-old engineer who was visiting Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca state for a graduation.
Coral Ocampo, receptionist at the Hotel Careyes, said the wind was tearing down the skinnier palm trees and that she had asked guests to return to their rooms and stay there until the storm had passed.

Carlotta strengthened into a powerful Category 2 hurricane Friday and forecasters expected it to move northward, parallel to the coastline, possibly reaching Acapulco as a hurricane. But instead it moved inland and weakened. Forecasters then expected Carlotta to become a tropical storm on Saturday and a tropical depression on Sunday.
Rain was also falling in Acapulco in neighboring Guerrero state, but authorities lifted the hurricane warning for the famed Pacific resort late Friday night and lowered it to a storm warning.
By late Friday night, Carlotta's winds had lessened to 90 mph (150 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The center of the storm was about 10 miles (15 km)s northwest of Puerto Escondido and was moving to the northwest at about 10 mph (17 kph).
Oaxaca's civil protection service said some roads near the resorts of Huatulco and Pochutla were affected by mudslides, and that authorities had opened emergency shelters and evacuated dozens of families from low-lying areas.
"We don't care about the rain,
Ines Vos, a German who has lived on Mexico's coast for 22 years and now runs the Beach Hotel Ines in Puerto Escondido, said she had readied the hotel's generator and stocked up on gasoline and bottled water in preparation for the storm.

Olympic torch visits Buckingham Palace other London cites
LONDON — The flame for the 2012 London Olympics will be
making a house call.
Olympic officials said Thursday the fire will visit Queen Elizabeth's home, Buckingham Palace, on July 26, the second-to-last day of the 70-day torch relay across Britain and Ireland.
The flame, which was lit in Greece last month, will also tour other London high points including Downing Street, St. Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe theater.
Huge numbers of people have
turned up all over the country to see the flame as it makes its 8,000-mile (12,875-kilometer) trek around the U.K. The turnout has prompted authorities to bolster crowd-handling plans for central London during the
games.
The Olympics take place from July 27 to Aug.12.

Sandusky trial moving along quickly
[Photograph of] Sir Robert McNamara.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky leaves the Centre County Courthouse after the first day of his trial in Bellefonte, Pa. He is accused of 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a period of 15 years.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sandusky himself could take the stand in his own defense at his criminal trial, but it's not certain that will happen.
During his first remarks to jurors, his lawyer Joe Amendola suggested he might, though the jury has already heard an audio recording of a stilted television interview Sandusky conducted shortly after his November arrest, denying the allegations against him.
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — After a gripping, emotionally charged four days of testimony that saw eight men from 18 to 28 years old tell jurors that Jerry Sandusky sexually abused them as children, the former Penn State assistant football coach will soon get to tell his side of the story.
The defense has sought to create doubt in jurors' minds by showing how the stories of accusers have changed over time, and to paint Sandusky's interactions with children as misunderstood and part of a lifelong
effort to help, rather than victimize them.
"Jerry, in my opinion, loves kids so much that he does things none of us would ever do," Armendola said at the start of trial.
The first four days of testimony may have already cast the die if jurors have made up their minds about the credibility of the eight accusers, young men ages 18 to 28, six without a father in their lives, three who have never known their fathers.
In a large and crowded courtroom, with a crush of national media watching their every word, the accusers counted in detail their experiences with the 68-year-old Sandusky, allegations that include severe sexual attacks of children too scared and too small to escape or fight back.
Their testimony is the heart of the case the government has been trying to prove, in the words of lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan, that Sandusky has been a predatory pedophile.
The accusers said he plied them as children with gifts, dazzled them with
the prestige of Penn State's vaunted football program and then scaled up physical contact from a hand on the knee or a fatherly kiss to fondling, repeated oral sex and in some cases violent anal rape.
During cross-examination, Amendola pressed the accusers' memories for their detailed involvement with the kids' charity Sandusky founded, arrests or drug problems, contacts they have had with Sandusky in the years since the alleged abuse ended and the terms of representation deals with civil lawyers.
At least six said they told incorrect or incomplete stories in early contacts with police, and three testified that some of the details only came back to them in recent years.
Jurors appear to be paying very close attention to the trial, which in its first week moved along more quickly than many observers have predicted. The rapid pace has left the prosecution close to wrapping up its case in chief, something that could happen as early as Monday.

With mere seconds left in the game, Keith Langford drained his final three pointer of the night to tie the game at 110-110. The buzzer went off, and event coordinator and local media personality Brian Hanni announced the alternate overtime plan. The game would come down to which coach, the reserved Blue coach Bud Stallworth, or the rather unreserved Red coach Scot Pollard, could hit more free throws.
More than 30 former players came back to Lawrence Free State High School to compete in the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic, which is an annual celebrity, charity basketball game that benefits local children and teens battling cancer.
Stallworth stepped up and made his first one, and Pollard missed his, giving the Blue Team the victory for the second straight year.
Langford led all scorers with 47 points, which he scored in a variety of ways. He shot three pointers and cut into the lane for easy baskets.
He led the Blue team to a narrow 111-110 victory.
The Blue team featured Langford, Jeff Hawkins, Conner Teahan, Lester Earl, Ryan Robertson, Darnell Valentine, T.J. Pugh, Christian Moody, Ron Kellogg and Aaron Miles.
The Red team featured Russell Robinson, Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed, Nick Bradford, Jordan Juenemann, Julian Wright, Greg Gurley and Matt Kleinmann.

Students support Jayhawks in the NBA

With the University basketball team finishing their season in April, KU students have a different basketball team to support.
The Oklahoma City Thunder has gained popularity among students because of proximity. The Thunder is currently playing in the NBA finals against the Miami Heat after beating the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs earlier in the playoffs.
Cody Fawl, a senior from Mcpherson, said he started supporting the Thunder because of the youth they have on the team, as well as their style of play.
MIAMI
"They are a fun team to watch," Frawl said. "They are young, athletic and fast. They like to get out in transition and play a fast paced style of basketball that is very attractive."
The average age of the Thunder is 25, led by Kevin Durant (23), Russell Westbrook (23) and James Harden (22).
"I was at Brothers for Game four of the Thunder-Lakers series, and it was getting pretty loud in there," Fawl said. "I noticed a lot of people cheering for the Thunder, and when Durant hit that 26 footer to win it, the place went crazy."
Fawl says he watches most of the games at his house but does enjoy watching the bigger games at a bar.

"I was a huge Nick Collison fan growing up, so I followed his career from when he was with Seattle," Fawl said. "It is awesome to see him have a chance to compete for a title."

"They are an easy team to root for. They built their roster the right way," Tidd said. "You see Miami and Boston building their big three through trades and free agency. The Thunder got Durant, Westbrook and Harden all through the draft."
Tidd said he became a Durant fan after watching him play against KU when Durant was with the Texas Longhorns.
Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Nick Collison shoots against the Miami Heat during the second half at Game 1 of the NBA finals basketball series, Tuesday, June 12, 2012, in Oklahoma City.
"I was at the game in 2007 when Durant came to the Fieldhouse," Tidd said. "I remember in the first half, he couldn't miss, and I thought he was going to score 50. I remember he sprained his ankle in the second half, and when he came back out of the locker room he got a standing ovation. I don't think I've ever seen KU fans give a standing ovation to an opposing player."
When the Seattle Supersonics drafted Kevin Durant with the second pick in the 2007 draft, Tidd became a fan because of Durant. After the Supersonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 as the Thunder, Tidd said he transformed from a Durant fan to a Thunder fan.
"When they moved to Oklahoma City, it seemed like it was easier to cheer for them," Tidd said. "Since Kansas City doesn't have a team, I
because of how close they are to us. I'll keep cheering for them until Kansas City gets a team."

Kansas basketball hires new director
Former University of Nebraska basketball head coach Doc Sadler will join the University of Kansas basketball staff as Director of Basketball Operations. He will replace Barry Hinson, who was named head coach at Southern Illinois University.
At Nebraska, Sadler compiled a record of 101-89 in his six year tenure, but had a record of just 34-63 in conference play.
"This is an unbelievable opportunity to have a chance to get back into college basketball," Sadler said in a statement announcing his hiring. "When making decisions, I really thought I would sit out this year, but when this came along I don't think anyone would ever pass it up. I am thankful to Coach Self in giving me this opportunity. To be part of a program such as Kansas is unbelievable."
Prior to Nebraska, Sadler was the head coach of University of Texas at El Paso, where he had back-to-back 20-win seasons, and had an overall record of 48-18.

Clutch Royals beat Cardinals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS— Cardinals manager Mike Matheny had no trouble with closer Jason Motte's two-strike pitch to pinch-hitter Billy Butler.
Problem is, neither did Butler.
Down to the Royals' last strike in the ninth, Butler hit Motte's fastball 438 feet for a tying home run, and Kansas City went on to beat St. Louis 5-3 in 15

"I would have thrown the exact same pitch," Matheny said. "He threw the exact same pitch by him twice. If he would have thrown something else, I probably would have been upset."

"He blew the pitch right before by me," Butler said. "I just figured I had to shorten up and put the barrel on it. That's what I did."
Motte said he was just trying to end the game.
"That's the way it is" Motte said. "One mistake in those situations (can cost you). Give credit to Butler. Sometimes you have to tip your cap."
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 15th to lift the Royals to the win.
"I don't even know if I could (describe it)," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "We won, that's all I can say."
Betancourt gave the Royals a 3-2
lead in the 14th on an RBI double, but Kansas City closer Jonathan Broxton (1-1) gave it back. Betancourt then came through with his next opportunities.
"That's destiny," Betancourt said of his two RBI chances through an interpreter. "It was my opportunity to put the team ahead twice. I was trying to do my best and it happened."
Yadier Molina, the last available St. Louis position player, had a pinch-hit RBI single in the 14th off Broxton to tie it 3-all. Broxton was perfect in the 15th for the victory.
“This is as tough as they have been," Mathey said. "I don't know any other way to say it."
Matt Holliday and Allen Craig hit back-to-back home runs for the Cardinals and Carlos Beltran extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a first-inning single. Beltran is batting .462 (18 for 39) during his streak.
Humberto Quintero drove in the Royals' other run with an RBI single in the second off Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, who allowed one run.

NBA FINALS
Heat hold home court, take 2-1 lead over Thunder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — LeBron James and the Heat remember the pain from a year ago.
They needed two wins for a title and never got another, their superstar player coming up small in the biggest moments — *a* finals failure for which
James has accepted the blame.
He seems determined not to let it happen again.
James had 29 points and 14 rebounds, and the Miami Heat took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 91-85 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.
Dwyane Wade had 25 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists for the Heat, who were in this same position through three games last year, then didn't win again against the Dallas Mavericks.
Kevin Durant had 25 points for the Thunder, but picked up his fourth foul in the third quarter and had to go to the bench when they had seemed to
have control of the game.
"It was frustrating," Durant said. "Of course we had a good lead and they came back and made some shots. We fouled shooters on the 3-point line twice. It's a tough break for us, man. You know, I hate sitting on the bench, especially with fouls."
The Thunder were just 4 of 18 on
3-pointers and hit only 15 of 24 free throws. Harden, the Sixth Man of the Year, shot 2 of 10 for his nine points. Westbrook finished with 19 points.
The Heat survived their own fourthquarter sloppiness — nine turnovers — by getting enough big plays from their Big Three.
I'll just use the provided text. There is no image to recognize.

(AP)
From left are Trent Johnson, in a 2011 file photo; Bob Huggins, in a 2011 file photo, and Bruce Weber, in a 2012 file photo. The Big 12 has a trio of new coaches; Johnson at TCU, Huggins of West Virginia, and Weber at Kansas State, who'll spend their summers getting to know a new league.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
First-year Kansas State coach Bruce Weber is so new to the Big 12 that he called into his first league teleconference from Champaign, Ill., as movers were packing his family's belongings for the journey to Manhattan, Kan.
Weber, West Virginia's Bob Huggins and TCU's Trent Johnson are the newest coaches to join the Big 12.
Weber, who was fired by Illinois in March after nine seasons, has been impressed with what he's seen so far after being immersed in the Big Ten.
"The success of the Big 12 as a basketball conference, a football conference, is just pretty eye-opening to be honest. Our whole staff, that's the one thing we've talked a lot about," Weber said Thursday in a call with reporters. "Comparing to the Big Ten, probably a little better athlete and maybe a little bit more open, up and down."
Huggins said that one of the changes that fans in Morgantown are most excited about in the leap from the 16team Big East to the Big 12 will be the true round-robin schedule.
It should help the Mountaineers generate some heated rivalries before
long.
"There were times, I think we played at Syracuse four years in a row and I think Louisville played at our place four years in a row. You don't get to see
all the teams." Huggins said. "I don't think you develop the rivalry like you do when you're playing people on a home-and-home basis like we're going to be able to do."
Johnson left LSU after four seasons to take over at a school that got an invitation to the Big 12 based on its football success.
"There's some excitement, but also
there's a curiosity and there's a wait- and-see approach or a wait-and-see attitude. Can we compete? Can we get it done at this level? And that's good," Johnson said.

MLB,KU Hospital partner to provide first aid for events
On June 6, 2012 the University of Kansas Hospital was named as "The Official Healthcare Provider for Major League Baseball AllStar Week."
In a news release by the hospital, Major League Baseball Properties and University of Kansas Hospital announced that KU physicians and nurses will be
providing first aid during All-Star Week.
The hospital is the primary health care provider for the Royals players. This agreement expands the roles of the hospital to provide further care for both fans and players.

"The University of Kansas Hospital will provide our fans
the best care available if they need medical assistance at any of our All-Star events," said Lou Koskovolis, senior vice president of corporate sales & marketing for the MLB. "We are thrilled to have this level of comprehensive health care experts on our team."

Sporting KC gets win No.9 over Toronto
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—C.J. Sapong and Julio Cesar scored in the first half to help Sporting Kansas City beat Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday night, spoiling the debut of new manager Paul Mariner.
Mariner, who had been Toronto's director of player development, took over last week when Aron Winter was fired when a 1-9-0 start
Graham Zusi had his eighth assist for Sporting (9-3-1),moving
him back into a share of the MLS lead with Dwayne De Rosario of D.C. United, and Jimmy Nielsen made three saves for his sixth shutout.
Sapong put Kansas City up 1-0 in the 18th minute, scoring from close range after a cross from Jacob Peterson, and Julio Cesar added an insurance goal in the 35th when he volleyed home Zusi's corner kick from the top right corner of the 6-yard box.

KU Med tops list of most popular medical schools
The University of Kansas Medical Center tied for first place with the Center for Health Sciences at Oklahoma State University in US News and World Report's list of the 10 most popular medical schools. The results were based on the enrollment percentage, according to the report released on June 19.
"We know that rankings are just one of many ways to measure the success of a medical school, and we're very pleased to be at the top of this list again this year," said Donna Peck, assistant communication director for the Med Center. "There are so many factors that go into rankings like these, but we would like to think that one of them is our reputation as one of the best medical schools in the country for educating primary care doctors. Many of our applicants are interested in pursuing careers in primary and rural medicine, and they are very aware that this is the place to get the best training for those areas."
The Med Center had 3,270 students enrolled in the Fall 2011 semester.

shopping mall roof collapses killing one person, injuring many
ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario — A roof partially collapsed at a busy shopping mall in Canada on Saturday, June 23, prompting an evacuation and a search for anyone who might have been injured.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A portion of the roof that serves as a parking area crumbled in the afternoon, exposing metal and concrete supports as Algo Centre Mall bustled with weekend shoppers.
One person is thought to be dead and another is trapped inside the rubble. Several people are still missing and 22 suffered minor injuries.
The collapse also triggered a gas leak and prompted emergency officials to shut off the mall's power.
A worker assesses the damage caused by the collapsed roof at a busy shopping mall in Canada on Saturday, June 23. The collapse killed one person and injured many more.
Emergency officials quickly cleared out the mall and closed surrounding roads. Mayor Rick Hamilton declared a state of emergency soon after the collapse.

Muslim Brotherhood wins Egypt election
CAIRO — Islamist Mohammed Morsi was declared the winner Sunday in Egypt's first free presidential election in history, closing the tumultuous first phase of a democratic transition and opening a new struggle with the still-dominant military rulers who recently stripped the presidency of most of its powers.
In Tahir Square joyous Morsi supporters wept and kneeled on the ground in prayer. They danced, set off fireworks and released doves in the air with Morsi's picture attached in celebrations not seen in the square since Hosni Mubarak was forced out on Feb. 11, 2011.
President Barack Obama telephoned the U.S.-educated Morsi to congratulate him on his victory and offer continued support for Egypt's transition to democracy.

tary career as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot while easing into married life and taking on more royal duties. He is stationed at an air base in north Wales and was recently on a temporary deployment in the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic.
He and his wife have made a number of public appearances in recent weeks, often representing his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, at events to mark her 60 years on the throne, a year-long celebration called the Diamond Jubilee.
He has seemed increasingly comfortable in public, escorting his wife, formally known as the Duchess of Cambridge, to high society soirees and "meet and greet" events.
Along with Prince Harry, they are expected to play a prominent role as special ambassadors at the London Olympics.
William also stands to inherit an estimated 10 million pounds ($15.7 million) on his birthday under the terms of the will of his late mother, Princess Diana.
The precise amount is not known because the current value of the trust set up by his mother has not been made public.
Palace officials decline to comment on William's private finances, and it is possible he may choose to leave the money in a trust.
His brother, Prince Harry, stands to inherit a similar amount when he turns 30 in 2014.
William is second in line for the throne behind his father, Prince Charles.

Arsenio Hall returns to late night lineup
LOS ANGELES — The Dog Pound will woof again: Arsenio Hall is returning to late-night TV.
Two decades after his self-titled show rebuilt the talk genre, for a new generation, the 56-year-old comic and recent "Celebrity Apprentice" winner will attempt a major comeback with a nightly syndicated offering starting in September 2013.
Hall is partnering with syndicator CBS Television Distribution and Tribune Co., which will broadcast the 11 p.m. show on its 17 TV stations, giving it instant access to more than half the country. Tribune also owns or is a partner in scores of websites and operates eight daily newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times.
"In the end I'm a comic, and nothing fits the talk-show mode like a stand-up comic," Hall said in an interview Monday. Referring to the crowded field in late-night TV, Hall added: "I know there are a lot of shows, but I think there's a space for my show."

Johnny Depp splits from longtime love
Although Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were never married during their 14-year relationship, Depp is paying Paradis £100 million as a pay-off for breaking up, according to The Sun and DailyMail. Representatives of Depp made the
breakup official Tuesday.
People Magazine said there were rumors of Depp being involved with different women during the last months of his relationship with Paradis. Some of these rumors involved Bond-girl and "Dark Shadows"co-star Eva Green,"Rum Diary"co-star Amber Heard and his publicist, Robin Baum.

Pearl Jam CFO accused of stealing money
SEATTLE — Pearl Jam's former chief financial officer allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of several years from Seattle's seminal rock band, spending the money on lavish family vacations, spa treatments, life insurance and pricey California wines, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Rickey Goodrich was charged
with 33 counts of theft on Thursday, which was his 54th birthday, according to charging documents. A summons was sent to Goodrich's home in Novato, Calif., that day, ordering him to appear for arraignment in King County Superior Court in Seattle on June 28.
Charged with 25 counts of first-degree theft and eight counts of second-degree theft, Goodrich is accused of bulking the band out of at least $380,000 between October 2007 and June 2010, when Goo-
drich's alleged embezzlement was discovered by another band account tant, charging papers say.
He was fired in early September 2010 and could face 3 to 5 years in prison if convicted.
After he was confronted about financial discrepancies following a May 2010 tour, Goodrich repaid the band $45,000 for so-called loans he allegedly paid to himself by forging another executive's signature, the papers say.

TBS to air 'Two Broke Girls'reruns
TELEVISION
LOS ANGELES — "Two Broke Girls" may have to be renamed "Two Rich Girls."
The cable channel TBS has agreed to acquire reruns of the CBS comedy "Two Broke Girls" at a price tag industry insiders said is between $1.5 million and $1.7 million per episode — believed to be the most paid ever for reruns of a comedy by a cable network.
"Two Broke Girls," about two Brooklyn diner waitresses struggling to save money to open a cupcake shop, is known for its raunchy humor and sexual innuendo. It was a hit for CBS in its first season.
Despite the early success of "Two Broke Girls," it is unusual for rums of a show to be sold after only one season on the air. If the comedy starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs endures a sophomore slump, TBS could end up with buyer's regret.
Also being shopped by Warner Bros. to cable networks are reruns of "Mike & Molly."

Attitude can make a difference
Attitude can make all the difference in the world. It can positively change your perspective and keep those whom you meet during the day happy. Every morning I wake up early and drive to work. From there, my day includes more than one hundred adults and kids at the Kansas Children's Discovery Center until the center closes.
By Angela Hawkins
ahawkins@kansan.com
As anyone who's worked with kids knows, they have spider senses when it comes to how someone really feels. I wouldn't dare try to convince a child that I'm interested when I'm not; they'd see right through me. As part of my role, I need to be genuinely happy and intrigued for everyone I meet while I'm at work. And for the most part, I manage to do it. I enjoy talking
to the kids and discussing their brilliance with doting parents and grandparents.
I love my job. It's full of adorable children and their families and my coworkers are great. But let's be honest, I'm not a morning person. I hate mornings. That's not an exaggeration. Before noon the only thing I want to do is sleep. However, I don't have that luxury. I could be
my perfectly grumpy morning self, but I'd rather not scare people, especially small children.
What's the solution to my morning problem? Not coffee. Not energy drinks. No, even better, it's as simple as a smile. There's no way I'd be able to make it through the morning if I dwelled on the fact that it was morning and how much I hate mornings. But if I focus instead on the amazing things about the day, the people I work with, the fun things I get to do, the adorable children I see, or the sunshine and flowers, I find myself in a much better mood.
And every day I begin and end with the simple goal of providing each guest to the center an equally positive experience.
Yes, this is an isolated example
to a much more widespread issue, but its relevance remains. At some point, we all have done something we'd rather not do—in this case, I've traded something negative (sleeping in) for something more productive (working).
Your entire outlook on things can change simply by making your mind up to change it. And you aren't the only person your attitude affects. You affect everyone you encounter in a day with your attitude.
So do what you have to do, only happier. Change the way you look at your day. Become a glass half-full person. Your attitude can make a difference if you let it.

Energy audit saves University $1.8M
JESSICA TIERNEY
jtierney@kansan.com
With changes both big and small, the University continues its efforts to be a greener campus.
After beginning a new energy audit in 2009, the University is now assessing how much energy was saved as a result of the various upgrades across campus.
The $25 million contract with Energy Solutions Professionals (ESP), an efficiency firm in Overland Park, began in 2009 and was mostly completed in the early months of 2012. The project was large-scale and included approximately 50-60 buildings on University grounds.
"A lot of the major work was done in Malott and Haworth Halls. Those buildings use a lot of energy because of the laboratory spaces and the energy needed for ventilation," said Jeff Severin, director of the University's Center for Sustainability.
A walk by Malott Hall, home of the chemistry department, shows just
how much ventilation is needed in the building. The roof is a crowded maze with various vents and air systems.
"I can see why they'd make some changes," said Heidi LeSage, graduate student from Minneapolis. "Malott has so much going on inside it."
Laboratories use an immense amount of energy because of the large number of fume hoods on the buildings. The fume hoods help to ventilate the spaces where experiments are taking place. The air that is removed then has to be replaced with conditioned air. The costs of ventilation can very quickly add up.
According to Paul Graves, deputy director in the University's Office of Design and Construction Management, this problem was solved by retrofitting the fume hoods in Malott and Haworth and installing a new ventilation system.
"Electric, which includes some heating, and most cooling is the highest (utility bill for the University), said Graves.
The audit made other changes on
campus as well.
"There is a motion sensor on the hallway lights outside my office," said Severin of his office in Carruth-O'Leary. "They only light up when someone is walking by."
Lights like the ones in Severin's building were installed in approximately 50-60 other buildings across campus. Faucets and toilets were fitted or replaced with low flow fixtures to save on water expenses as well.
In addition to the physical changes
made to buildings, the audit also encouraged behavioral changes by students, faculty and staff.
In the fall, student volunteers were trained to replace inefficient light bulbs on campus with more cost-effective ones, and in the spring, a competition was held between Bailey, Green, and Summerfield Halls to compare energy use in 2012 from the same time in 2011. The building using the smallest amount was awarded with a barbeque lunch. Bailey Hall won.
Even simple tasks such as turning off the lights in an empty classroom or a firm but gentle reminder to a professor to turn off their computer when they leave a classroom were encouraged.
Behavioral changes alone were expected to save the university $200,000 per year.
Severin said the entire audit should save about $1.8 million per year.

KU took on a similar project in 2000, but the current contract has given the University the most savings so far.
2000-2001 energy conservation project saved: 335,000

KC woman charged with child abuse
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City woman was charged Saturday with abusing her 10-year-old daughter who weighed just 32 pounds when she was found locked in a closet that reeked of urine.
The 29-year-old woman faces charges of assault and child abuse and endangerment in Jackson County Circuit Court. The Associated Press is not naming the mother to protect the child's identity. Prosecutors are requesting that bond be set at $200,000.
Officers freed the girl after responding Friday morning to a call to a child abuse hotline. Neighbors told police that they didn't know the malnourished child taken from the public housing complex even lived there.
When officers first arrived, two women told the officers that the mother had left about 20 minutes earlier with two girls, whom they described as "clean and well fed," a Kansas City officer said in the probable cause statement.
A social services worker said there should be three children at the home. But the women insisted, "No, we have lived here for several years, and she only has two daughters that stay here, and we have never seen the other girl, but we heard she stays with the father or an aunt," the probable cause statement said.
Officers ultimately made their way into the apartment, where they found a portable crib pushed up against a bedroom closet, which was tied closed. The officers asked if anyone was inside, and a child's voice answered "yes," the probable cause statement said.
The girl was transported to a Children's Mercy Hospital, where she was diagnosed with multiple skin injuries. Hospital staff said she had gained just 6 pounds since she last was at the hospital six years earlier.
The girl told officers that her mother took her sisters out to breakfast, but she didn't go because "she messes herself."

Coming up with ideas to woo your significant other can get a little
tricky. Whether you're in the beginning stages of your relationship, been together for years, or just want to plan a first date, it can be hard to keep things fresh.
Don't fret too much, these 10 ideas will definitely keep you and your mate busy with adventures.

date, or even as a way to end a date.
Tad's Tropical Sno, 939 S. Iowa Street,
hits just the spot. With more than 20
flavors, grabbing a sno-cone from the
walk-up shack allows you and your
date time to sit outside and cool-off.
- Perhaps you're into more romantic dates, but still prefer an informal atmosphere. Music in the Park in South Park, between 11th and 13th streets on Massachusetts Street, can be just that: romantic and relaxed. As you sit in the grass on a blanket together, you can also chat and people watch the hundreds there. It's Wednesday nights at 6.pm., and it's free!
- Playing sports is a wonderful way to learn more about someone. Playing tennis is even better. Don't know how to play? Rent racquets for you and your date and make it into a learning experience. If your date knows how to play, let them teach you what they know. If you both know how to play, learn who's more competitive and who's the better sport by playing a few matches. Take this idea to the next level, eHarmony suggests, by joining an intramural league with your significant other.
- If you want to get your hands dirty, Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St., could be right up your alley. You can pick out a piece of pottery for you and your date and create together. Plus, you'll have a keepsake to remind you of your great time.
- Dating can get expensive, especially if it's a date to the movies. But Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., has a deal on Tuesdays. With the two-for-one ticket deal, you and your date can see a film in the ambiance of historic Liberty Hall.
- Another two-for-one special for Tuesday night dates is at Sylas and Mady's, 1014 Massachusetts St., starting at 7 p.m. "Ice cream itself makes a great date place," said Kelsey Coplen, a senior from Shawnee. "It's not overly crowded, it's cool and can be cozy, or you can just walk around on Mass with your ice cream."
- If you want to be more quirky, think about taking a class at the Camelot Ballroom, 1117 Massachusetts St. With private or group lessons, the pros at Camelot offer lessons in dances from Cha-Cha to Samba.
- The Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St., offers a series called "The Taproom Poetry Series." If you're looking for a more upbeat event, the Taproom also has dance parties late in the basement of the bar. "End at the Taproom to make your final move," said Taryn Miller, a senior from Winfield. "It's your last chance."
- Clinton Lake, Lawrence's own man-made masterpiece, allows for a variety of dating adventures. Clinton Beach allows you to picnic and sunbathe, and its marina has boats and equipment to rent. Maybe you can rent a rowboat and recreate that scene from the Notebook. Now that's a date.
If you're looking to really impress, the Eldridge, 701 Massachusetts St., has a monthly wine tasting event that costs only $15 per person. "You can be interactive or you can discuss the wines amongst yourselves," said Lindsay Robinson, one of the event organizers. "It is a casual, fun event to bring a date or a friend."

Hollywood celebrities teamed up for a game of Wiffle Ball Friday, June 22, at Kauffman Stadium's "Little K" as part of a fundraising event benefiting Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics.
The game was part of the third annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend fundraiser in Kansas City, hosted by University alumni Rob Riggle and Paul Rudd and Kansas native Jason Sudeikis. Other celebrity attendees included Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Johnny Knoxville, Eric Stonestreet and David Koechner.
"We are here to support Children's Mercy Hospital, raise money for the Cancer Center specifically, and have a blast doing it," Riggle said.
Wiffle balls were thrown at the person batting, beers were chugged while playing and even some "fighting" broke out during the game.
Paul Rudd gave the audience a heads up on what could take place on the field.
"What may make it worse is that every single one of us is completely jacked on steroids," Rudd said. "We've got rage like you wouldn't believe."
With beer bottles in one hand and wiffle balls in the other, celebrities battled it out on the field. The blue team, headed by Riggle, played the white team, led by Rudd and Sudeikis.
The game ended at 6:30 p.m. with

the blue team winning, though the game was more of a scrimmage that didn't have a real score.
All proceeds go to Children's Mercy Cancer Center. To send a $5 donation text SLICK to 50555, or as Paul Rudd said, "George Brett, 0, George Brett, George Brett, George Brett," who wore number 5 for the Royals before his 21-year career ended in 1993.
Other fundraising events took place Saturday. A poker tournament began at 10:30 a.m. at Harrah's Casino. Seats for the poker tournament started at $500 and sold out immediately. Some auction items include a day at "The Daily Show," a VIP night at the ESPY Awards, tickets to watch a KU basketball game with Riggle, and an opportunity to have Chief's punter Dustin Colquitt sign autographs at your office or school.

Tuition raised, new standards approved
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
dderryberry@kansan.com
The national student loan debt is now more than $1 trillion, which is higher than the country's credit card debt, but this trend doesn't seem to be near an end as University tuition increases once more.
The Board of Regents met June 20 and approved the University's proposal to increase tuition and assign new standards for admission.
Comparable Costs of Big 12 Conference
Comparable Costs of Big 12 Conference School In-State Tuition and Fees Out-of-state Tuition and Fees
Texas Christian University $34,590 $34,590
Baylor University $33,716 $33,716
University of Texas $9,792 $32,379
University of Kansas $9,222 $22,608
Texas Tech University $8,765 $18,155
University of Oklahoma $8,325 $19,278
Kansas State University $7,657 $19,123
Iowa State University $7,486 $19,358
Oklahoma State University $7,418 $18,765
West Virginia University $5,674 $17,844
Current students in the tuition compact won't be affected by the increase, but those entering the undergraduate class of 2016 can expect standard tuition rates to rise by 4.9 percent for in-state students and 6.7 percent for out-of-state. Required fees for all students will also increase by 3.5 percent to $440.
"Tuition increases can be prohibitive for students who want to come to school, especially with the economy as it is, but we're also seeing cuts in state funding, so it's understandable," said Emma Halling, a junior from Marian. "We keep talking about how we want to bring business and economies to Kansas, so if we want that to be something other than manual labor, you have to invest in education."

Information from Collegeboard.com
A lack of state funding may leave the University with fewer options, but this year's proposal was the lowest increase since 1999. The pitch to raise tuition was created by the Tuition Advisory Committee, which is made up of students, faculty and administrators at the University. Former Student Body President
Libby Johnson, who picked the students on the committee, said that increased tuition is a necessity to continue to offer students the best services possible.
"It has happened so many years in a row because we haven't seen the support that at one point we did have from other sources, such as the state of Kansas," Johnson said. "When that happens, the school is put in a real jam. You either have to cut back or find resources
somewhere else, and a lot of that has come from tuition."
According to the proposal, the funds created by the increase in tuition will be used to enhance various areas of the University. Included in the proposal's list was a $1.1 million KU Tuition Grant to help students in financial need, provide funds to retain faculty and staff, and continue improvements in technology on campus.
Tuition Advisory Committee member and recent KU graduate Julia Barnard said that a common trend among institutions is a 3 to 7 percent tuition increase each year, but the committee found this yearly increase to be unsustainable. Barnard understood the financial burden tuition can have, but encouraged students to get involved with government to make a change.
"Those who are unhappy with the tuition increase should get involved not only with Student Senate, but also in local and state elections and vote for candidates who will fund public education." Barnard said. "Tuition increases are direct responses to the budget cuts coming from the state."
The Regents also approved new standards for admission for incoming freshman. For automatic acceptance, students must have an ACT score of 24 (1090 SAT) with a minimum 3.0 high school GPA or a score of 21 (980 SAT) with a 3.25 GPA. The current requirements for admission are a 21 on the ACT, rank in the top third of their class, or have a 2.0 GPA.

Elizabeth Gustin, Alyssa Lokits, Kristen Meier, Joy Stewart, and Caitlin Young show off their favorite shoes because of a study that was done by Psychology Professor Omri Gillath on how your personality traits relate to the shoes you wear.

Shoes may indicate person's personality
KELSEA ECKENROTH keckenroth@kansan.com
You can't judge a book by its cover, but can you judge a person by the shoes on their feet? Apparently so.
A University research study found that the type of shoes a person wears can help judge a person's personality traits, status, and political views. A group of 63 students accurately judged the age, gender, income, and attachment anxiety of shoe owners based on pictures.
Omri Gillath, a psychology professor involved with the study, said the idea came from researching people's abilities to read others as a way to find people with similar traits and become friends with them.
One of the traits the study, published in the August 2012 edition of the "Journal of Research in Personality," found was that shoe color relates to attachment anxiety. Gillath said the more colorful the shoes are, the less anxious the person who wears them is.
The study also showed that high top shoes are associated with low agree- ableness.
Campus is filled with many different types of shoes worn by the variety of students.
Sadie Johnson, a recent graduate from Osage City, has a closet full of brown, black, and neutral colored shoes. Her collection consists of hightop Chuck Taylor's, cheap sandals, boots, and what she calls "random flats I got from my mom."
"Sometimes I feel like I am more crazy than what I wear, because I tend to wear a little bit more neutral things," she said, "but I am a little bit more loud and obnoxious sometimes."
Last week, Johnson went shopping for shoes to go with everything. She ended up buying two pairs of TOMS shoes, but was hesitant at first because she didn't want to "look like everyone else."
"I was thinking, 'Oh you know, everybody has Toms,'" she said. "They are very bland and boring. I didn't want
to wear something everyone else was wearing and look like I was trying to fit in, but I ended realizing I actually liked them."
Erin Gomer, a senior from Bonner Springs, said that the type of shoes she wears depends on where she is going and what she is doing during that day.
"I don't really like to wear socks. So, if I can wear shoes without socks, then that's good," she said. "I have a favorite pair of moccasins that I wear a lot that are leather and are really light, so it feels like I'm not wearing shoes."

Student farm provides room to grow
VICTORIA PITCHER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Ask around at the University student farm and the growers will tell you it's about the connection to their food.
"I just think it's important that people go back to knowing where their food comes from," said Julia Yang, a sophomore from Manhattan. Yang said it's exciting to eat something that she grew from a simple seed.
Just two years ago, the student farm, located in north Lawrence near
the municipal airport, was a mere five people working on one small plot of land. Since then, the student farm has expanded into 50 plots, and it is continuing to flourish.
"We've grown a lot," said Kim Scherman, a recent graduate from Eudora and the student farm facilitator. Scherman estimates about 100 students, faculty and staff are involved with the farm.
The student farm was originally a capstone project idea, but Scherman planted the farm and fostered it to what it is today. The student farm has
50 rectangular plots of land that measure 4 feet by 32 feet. Those who want to participate can purchase a plot for $30 by contacting farming officers at kufarming@gmail.com. At the end of the season, $20 is refundable and $10 is kept to help pay for water.
This is some students' first time growing their own food.
"I'm learning a lot still." Yang said, who is in her first growing season with the student farm. Yang has already produced kale and is starting to see tomatoes. "I'm super excited about my tomatoes."
This season has been unusually hot and dry, which has made it more difficult for first time growers.
"There was a drought for quite a while," said Rebecca Crook, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. "It pretty much affected everybody." Cook said they had to water the plants more often because they came close to dying.
Cook didn't know much about growing plants when she first started, but she has learned a lot by helping out with the community plot.
The community plot runs between the student plots, and anyone who
works on the plots can take food from it. A committee of people who share the farming responsibilities manage the plot.
The community plot is less intimidating than owning your own plot if you're just getting started, like Cook.
"It's not as intimidating as it seems if you don't really know what you are doing." Cook said.
The student farm has a potluck once a month, and plans for a fundraising dinner are in the works.

TRAGEDY
Oregon plane crash kills four Saturday
ELMIRA, Ore. — A small plane crashed soon after taking off from
a private airstrip in Oregon timber country Saturday and killed all four people on board, authorities said.
The small plane went down around 3:10 p.m.in a rural area west
of Eugene, according to the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
Citing witness reports, authorities said the plane began to lose altitude shortly after take-off and hit a large
tree that Lane County District No. 1 Fire Chief Terry Ney said tore off a wing of the aircraft.
The single-engine Cessna landed upside down, Ney said. Fire authorities pronounced the four people inside the aircraft dead at the scene.

LATE RECRUIT ARRIVES
Milton Doyle, a freshman recruit from Chicago, explains how he almost played for Florida until head coach Isaiah Thomas was fired, and how his next top choice was Kansas because of its history.
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
Incoming freshman guard, Milton Doyle, knew he wanted to play for Kansas.
Doyle, who de-committed from Florida International University after coach Isaiah Thomas was fired, re-opened his recruitment in the spring, but knew he wanted to play basketball in Lawrence even before taking an official visit.
"Basically I was sold before I came, knowing the history of Kansas," Doyle said. "Finally being here, I was able to put it together."
Doyle, a 6-foot-4-inch, 175 pound guard from Chicago, mainly played point guard in high school, but Coach Bill Self sees Doyle as a combo guard.
"I do think he can play some point," Self said. "I think there's a difference in being a point guard and being able to play some point. The way we play, whover gets it brings it. Tyshawn (Taylor) wasn't a true point, at least the way we played. Elijah (Johnson) is not a
true point. We've got a lot of combo guards. He'll be one of those combo guards."
Self said Doyle, who averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals per game his senior season, could earn playing time next season.
"He is a good athlete, has great length," Self said. "He has to get stronger, which is natural for all freshmen. He probably has to get where his stroke is a little more consistent. We have minutes to be earned back there from a depth standpoint. He should provide us extra depth, no question."
Doyle, who is waiting for a few classes to be approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse, said he is happy to finally be settling in Lawrence.
ACADEMICS
"It feels good to be here," Doyle said. "It feels good to finally workout, be around the team and be around the guys. They welcomed me in good. It felt like I was already a part of the team from the beginning."

University athletics score high in APR
vamin@kansan.com
While the University of Kansas men's basketball team notched its eighth straight Big 12 Conference championship in 2012, the team kept another valuable streak alive as well.
KU officials announced the results of the 2010-2011 Academic Progress Rate for the athletics department on June 19. For the sixth straight year, the men's basketball team received a perfect Academic Progress Rate score of 1,000.
The women's cross country team was also recognized by the NCAA for achieving four-year APR scores that are amongst the nation's top 10 percent in each sport. Both teams received a multi-year APR score of 1,000 from 2007-2008 through 2010-2011. Women's golf and tennis added to the achievements with a perfect score of 1,000 for the 2010-2011 academic year.
All 18 KU athletics programs
scored above the multi-year rate, 925 which is needed to be eligible in post-season play. However, the NCAA recently raised the multi-year score for post-season eligibility to 930, which will begin in the 2012-2013 season.
According to Paul Buskirk, the University's associate athletics director, only student athletes who are on scholarship contribute to the APR score. The scholarship athletes can earn up to two points per semester, one for each retention and eligibility.
"No. 1 is if you transfer to another four-year institution and when you do, you have a 2.6 GPA. No. 2 is if there's a documented medical (or)
The number of points the players earn is divided by the number of points possible, and then it's converted to a percentage. The percentage is then multiplied by 1,000 to determine the final APR score.
Buskirk said there are three situations in which a student can leave an institution without penalizing the school's APR score.
family reason," Buskirk said. "And the big one is if a student leaves for a professional sports opportunity."
Coach Bill Self was pleased with his players, who, although they left school early for play, still took care of their academic responsibility. Even though standout forward Thomas Robinson is leaving early for the NBA draft, it won't negatively impact the men's basketball team's APR score.
"Here, they love the school so much, and the place has been so good to them, they have an obligation to do that," Self said, "That's why we have a 1,000 APR, because those kids that leave, they know they have to finish before they leave.
"I'm excited about that, I think there is a correlation between being good on the court and taking care of business off the court," Self said. "It's amazing to me: The better we do in the classroom, it seems, the more games we win."

POLEVAULT
University freshman will travel to Spain for Junior Olympics
Casey Bowen, a freshman from Gardner, finished second in pole vault at the USA Junior Championships on June 15. The championships were held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind.
Bowen's runner-up position earned him a spot on Team USA, according to the athletics department. The team will travel to Barcelona, Spain for the 2012 World Junior Championships, July 10 - 15. Bowen is one of only two Americans representing Team USA in the pole vault competition.
During his first season at Kansas, Bowen was one of the most consistent pole vaulters competing in both the indoor and outdoor Big 12 Championships. He came in seventh place at the outdoor league meet and qualified his way into the NCAA West Preliminary Meet, where he tied for 41st.
Bowen wasn't the only successful Jayhawk last Friday. Reid Buchanan, a freshman from Manhattan, advanced to the semifinals of the 1,500-meter run by running the race in 3:53.53, earning a spot in the finals as the 12th qualifier.

Dixon earns spot in Olympics
TYLER CONOVER editor@kansan.com
A school record was set on Sunday in the women's 400-meter, at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., as Diamond Dixon earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Relay Team.
In the final round of qualifying for the 400-meter Sunday night, Dixon was up against some of the best in the world, including 2011 World Champion Sanya Richard-Ross. Needing at least a top-six finish to make the U.S. Olympic Team, Dixon ran a school record time of 50.88 and a earned a fifth-place finish that secured her spot on the team.
Had Dixon finished in the top three, she would have been guaranteed to run the 400 in London. The fifth-place finish earned her a spot in the 4x4 relay pool instead.
There are several other Jayhawks in Eugene for Olympic qualifying, but only two, Kyle Clemons and Andrea Geubelle, have seen action thus far.
Clemons finished 23rd in the men's 400 on Friday, which was not enough to advance to the next round, but Geubelle is still very much in the hunt.
Geubelle competed in triple jump on Saturday, qualifying with a jump of 44-4 1/4 feet (13.52 meters), which placed her at the top
of the leader board through the first round. In the second and third round of jumps, Geubelle had consecutive faults and consequently fell to fourth place.
Still firmly in the mix, Geubelle will compete in the 12-person final qualifying round Monday at 7:45 p.m. CST. She will need to best her previous jump by .78 meters to hit the necessary A-Standard mark of 14.30 meters (46-11 feet) in order to earn a spot in the London games.
Geubelle also competes in long jump. Qualifying for that event begins June 29.

NBA FINALS
LeBron finally a champ
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Music blared and confetti fell, the only celebration LeBron James really wanted in Miami.
CHAMPIONS
HAMROS
Not that one two summers ago, the welcoming rally where he boasted of multiple titles, perhaps without realizing how hard it would be to win just one.
He dreamed of this moment, with teammates surrounding him and the NBA championship trophy beside him.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LeBron James of the Miami Heat is flanked by the Larry O'Brien Championship (left) and the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophies at a press conference as he talks about his dominant performance, helping his team win the NBA Finals and cementing his legacy.
"You know, my dream has become a reality now, and it's the best feeling I ever had," James said.
James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Miami Heat in a 121-106 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals in five games.
Ripped and ridiculed for the way he announced he was leaving Cleveland and taking his talents to South Beach, it's all worth it now for James.
Best player in the game. Best team in the league.And now,NBA champion.
"I'm happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I've been drafted, that I can finally say that I'm a champion, and I did it the right way."
James said. "I didn't shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off"
