Charging stations were installed on the Lawrence and Edwards campus' during winter break. The installation was an initiative of Student Senate and KU Information Technology.
The project was one of 12 different items on KUnited's platform this past year. Brandon Woodard, student body vice president, said that this project was made a priority because the idea came from the students.
"Kansas has been Kansas State's rival since I've been in the league," Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price said. "Our rival has been Missouri. That's now being refocused."
"You don't leave your phone at home; everyone has a phone," Woodard said.
Rachel Brasher, a senior from Ozawkie, said she thinks the stations will be helpful for students.
"I never felt that way against K-State," Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said of the Jayhawks' animosity for Missouri. "I think this will turn a little bit to become more heated as we move forward."
For some Kansas programs, there won't be much of a transition.
Not that one institution has dominated the other, but one school only focused on its fellow in-state competitor while the other looked in the opposite direction for a challenge.
"I know I'm never responsible about charging my phone," Brasher said.
might be a tad dramatic. Instead the University of Kansas is left with the Little Apple and a daunting task: Commit to a rivalry that has been one-sided since its inception.
Price echoes a rededication that has been the focus of Kansas' athletics department since Missouri's departure from the Big 12, and it's one that began at the top.
Robbie Bondi, a sophomore from Leawood, said he won't need to use the charging stations because he charges his phone at night.
The women's volleyball teams at Kansas and K-State, for instance, boast many players from within the state. That adds to a match that Jayhaws coach Ray Bechard said has always been important to the team.
"It started with Sheahon Zenger," Price said of Kansas' Athletics Director. "He has made it clear to everyone who coaches, regardless of the sport, that he's going to start

EDITOR'S NOTE
Sleep makes all the difference this week
By Victoria Pitcher
vpitcher@kansan.com
This week I take my last final exams ever. It's a little bittersweet. Actually, no, it's mostly just sweet. I have looked forward to this day for four years and one semester. Yes, I am a super senior. No more late nights writing last minute papers or cramming for tests.
That's a lie. I never really had too many late nights. I like sleeping too much. I tried to pull an all-nighter once just to say I did it, but by 6 a.m., I was crawling into bed to take a new class before. My roommates were always
talking about how they didn't go to bed the night before so that they could study or write a paper. I thought it was a right of passage, or something that I needed to complete. But I just couldn't.
I heard that sleep is important for doing well on tests, though, which must be how I have made it through college, since studying wasn't my strongest point.
So I guess what I am trying to say is that I made it. And so will you. I'm not saying not to study, but I am saying make sure you get some sleep.
Rest assured you will make it through this week, and you have the Finals Guide to help you through it.
Inside you will find music to help you study and advice on how to temporarily block your social media websites as well as puzzles for those breaks from studying. Good luck on your finals, and remember to make room for sleep. You won't regret it.

ACADEMICS
Prioritizing, sporadic breaks vital to studying
LYDIA YOUNG
lyoung@kansan.com
Finals week is finally in full swing, which means less time for social activities and sleep, and more time in the library under stress.
In order to maximize time, taking breaks from constant studying is vital to academic performance, and helps to refuel your mind in order to attack the information at hand.
According to a "Brainscape" blog by Sruthi Swami, the central point of a study break is to rejuvenate the mind, and should consist of activities that distract the brain from the subject matter.
That way, Swami said, you can come back to the material renewed and refreshed.
Before studying begins, students should plan ahead for scheduled breaks from study. Breaks should be set for short amounts of time depending on the student and subject matter.
However, it is imperative that students stick to the time allotted for the break: usually 20 to 30 minutes at a time.
Swami stressed the importance of remembering to eat during study breaks, but warns against the dangers of junk food.
Taking a break from studying to cook a meal and sitting down away from work helps
to refresh the mind and body.
"I feel like anymore, my breaks are eating or looks at apps like iFunny. Usually I walk away from the books and maybe watch TV while I eat," said Jon Simpson, a second-year law student from Wichita.
Exercise and physical activity offers stimulation to the brain, making studying more effective, while also loosening up the body during a study break.
According to an online article by Nicole Riccardi in Points Sports Health, exercise "improves attention, speed of processing and the ability to perform cognitive tasks."
Riccardi said the body stimulates the hormone epinephrine during exercise, increasing awareness and students' ability to concentrate, helping to improve study habits and promote healthy bodies and minds.
"[My friends and I] would try to find ways to exercise and figured we might as well do it during a study break. Wed either go outside and do a set distance or run on the treadmill for 40 minutes," said Cliff Brazil, a second year law student from Chanute.
In addition, the Office of Academic Achievement offers various ways for students to prepare themselves for the upcoming exams, featuring a final exam planner, procrastination
In the University's Academic Achievement Top Ten Tips for Better Study Habits, students should avoid "faking study behavior," advising students to take breaks to allow themselves to daydream if they are having difficulties with concentrating.
In order to help finish these tasks, students should prepare prioritized to do lists and cross off completed tasks while studying.
prevention tools and general study tips and test taking advice.

Price echoes a rededication that has been the focus of Kansas' athletics department since Missouri's departure from the Big 12, and it's one that began at the top.
The women's volleyball teams at Kansas and K-State, for instance, boast many players from within the state. That adds to a match that Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard said has always been important to the team.
"I never felt that way against K-State," Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said of the Jayhawks' animosity for Missouri. "I think this will turn a little bit to become more heated as we move forward."

FINALS GUIDE 2012
PEACE & QUIET
Campus offers variety of locations for studying
ALLISON KITE skite@nasa.gov
akite@kansan.com
As finals approach, students will be thinking more about where to study. There are a thousand nooks and crannies on campus, but some of the most popular locations are Watson and Anschutz libraries, the Kansas Union, the Underground and group study rooms in dorms.
Dr. Mary Ann Rasnack, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center (AAAC) in the basement of Strong Hall, emphasizes the idea that studying is different for each and every student. She said that while some students thrive on silent and independent study, other students enjoy being in locations with many others studying.
Above all, each student should do what is best for him or her.
"It depends on a couple of things, and that, obviously, is the individual student," she said. "Noise is especially distracting. For some people, it's the movement. Other people need to know that they're not alone."
"Here, that's what everyone else is doing" he said, "so there's not too many distractions."
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Junior Rachael Kerz, from Springfield. Ill.
One of the most popular study locations is Anschutz. Travis Ryan, a senior from Overland Park, appreciates the fact that everyone at Anschutz is there to study.

"it's quiet," she said. "I can put my headphones on."
goes to Anschutz to get away from distractions of her sorority house and study quietly.
Despite the benefits of studying at Anschutz, Ryan and Kez both admitted their drawbacks.
"During finals it gets really busy," Ryan said, "I won't come here because there will be too many people to even get a spot."
"It's hard because when you know people and you see them, it's hard not to talk to them and catch up and say hi and that's kind of distracting, so that's kind of why I go downstairs."
BRANDON SMITH/KANSAN
Anschutz is a great place for students to study whether they're looking for a quiet, independent setting or a group study session.
THE UNDERGROUND
KANSAN UNION
Another popular study destination among students is The Underground.
Angela Figgs, a senior from Topeka, appreciates the proximity of both food and socialization when she's at the Underground.
"I feel like I'm more likely to bump into my friends here, and if I want to chat with them, I don't feel like I'm disturbing anybody like I do when I'm at the library"
While the Underground is far more hectic than Anschutz, the environment is just what some students are looking for in a study space.
Though Figgs enjoys the social aspect of the Underground, she also sees it as a drawback to be productive and focus.
For students who like to study near the food, the Kansas Union is a similar option to the Underground.
"There's not a lot of seating, which means it's very limited to the amount of people that can come in," she said. "There's much more food options than at the library."
Stephanie Beauchamp, a sophomore from Wichita, said she appreciates both the atmosphere and the resources available at the Union.
Casey Miller, a junior from Hutchinson, sees the Union similarly. He appreciates the fact that he can stop by between classes.
"I came here today today I'm in between classes," he said, "and it's around lunch, so I can just
grab a bite to eat."
While Beauchamp appreciates the limited seating, Miller wishes the main level of the Union had more tables.
"I think they could have more tables down here for people that need to study because, a lot of times, when you come in here, you don't see very many spots open for people who need to put their books on a table and write stuff down."
Beauchamp's only qualm with the Union is its tendency to be a high traffic area.
"Sometimes, I'll catch people coming in and out, and I'll stop what I'm doing, and I'il avert mv

attention, and I'll just forget what I'm doing."
WATSON LIBRARY
Though the Union can get noisy, it's the perfect place for students who like having plenty of food and social options at their fingertips while they study.
Watson library provides an atmosphere similar to that of Anschutz. However, students who prefer Watson appreciate its lower noise levels. Kaleb Gilmore, a senior from Hoyt, appreciates the fact that Watson is less noisy and social than Anschutz.
"I feel like people take it more seriously here."
THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
BRANDON SMITH/KANSAN
Chas Strobel, a senior from Wayzata, Minn., agrees. "It's quieter than Anschutz."
Gilmore also appreciates Watson's extra space. "I get more space," he said. "I sprawl and get cozy."
Though Watson has extended hours during the week of finals, Gilmore and Stroble both wish Watson had longer hours all semester.
"I really don't have any qualms about it other than if it was twenty-four hours, I'd love it," Gilmore said.
Strobel also wishes he was able to check out a MacBook charger from Watson.
"You can't rent Apple chargers," he said, "so I always have to go to Anschutz to get a charger when I forget one at home."
RESIDENCE HALL STUDY
BOOMS
Finally, a popular study location among younger students is the study or conference room on their residence hall floors. Many students appreciate the ease of studying at home, but according to Rasnack, removing yourself from your living area can help you focus.
"It's where you live, and filled with easy distractions and easy ways to get off task," she said.
Rasnack's main tip to studying successfully was to find an environment where you can study without distractions, such as your friends or roommate or anyone else in your residence hall.
"Removing yourself from distractions is the most important thing," she said. "Putting yourself in an environment that is conducive is the next most important thing."
There are a thousand places to study on campus and in Lawrence. Sometimes, it can be tough for students to find that one place where they can focus. For help getting organized or finding a place to study, visit Dr. Rasnack and the staff of the AAAC.

The project was one of 12 different items on KUnited's platform this past year. Brandon Woodard, student body vice president, said that this project was made a priority because the idea came from the students.

Professors and students dread finals
Preparation and high expectations are apparent at both ends of the spectrum by end of semester
EMMA LEGAULT

After hours spent studying at the library, nights of no sleep and a few deep breaths, it's here, and the only thing standing between you and winter break is a packet of questions and a Scantron sheet.
The word "stress" goes hand-in-hand with finals, and it's a feeling that both students and professors share during this week.
"I find final exam week to be as stressful or more stressful than [students] do," psychology professor, David Holmes, said. "To watch students take an exam just drains the blood out of me."
Holmes said he finds himself in the same position as many other professors with the added burden of dealing with students' exceptional circumstances, such as getting sick or having travel arrangements on the day of the final.
students, the "extenuating circumstances" seem to be pouring in steadily.
"The only solution I have is to get ready very early. I've been getting ready for finals before [students] even thought about it," Holmes said.
Holmes said he has been preparing for the final for the past two weeks, and he has "all

of the pieces together." He said finals are valuable for gauging knowledge.
Unfortunately with such a large class, Holmes said he doesn't have much of an opportunity to give a more in-depth exam.
"I think it's better in another course where we can watch and test student's integration of a lot of material. Here I can't do that," he said. "There's very little I can measure on integration, that would require essay exams, and I'm not going to read a thousand essays."
Zachary Dennett, a freshman from Winfield, doesn't think that finals are a good test of
gained knowledge.
"It's just a competition to see who can memorize the right information the day before a test," he said.
Although he isn't stressing for finals, Dennett said he recognizes the importance of performing well on them.
"They will actually matter. If you fail these tests they have consequences," he said.
Unlike Holmes, Dennett hasn't felt the pressure of exams.
"There's no use being nervous for the inevitable" he said.
Hannah Arredondo, a junior from Parkville, Mo., said the reliability of final exams lies in the type of test. Although she doesn't like them, Arredondo said she thinks short answer and essay exams are a better reflection of what students have learned, than multiple-choice tests.
"There have been times students who do not study at all, end up with better scores than those who do," she said.

Arredondo believes students have an unfortunate disadvantage when it comes to test anxiety.
"I think professors often get nervous because they want us to do well, but I don't think they get nearly as nervous as students do," she said.

For some Kansas programs, there won't be much of a transition.
The women's volleyball teams at Kansas and K-State, for instance, boast many players from within the state. That adds to a match that Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard said has always been important to the team.
"Kansas has been Kansas State's rival since I've been in the league," Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price said. "Our rival has been Missouri. That's now being refocused."

STUDY AID
Music beneficial for memory retention
a
LYDNSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
Many students listen to music while studying, the good news is that music actually helps with memory retention. A research team from Stanford University recently discovered that music helps engage the areas of the brain that are responsible for attention and memory retention. The research shows that peak brain activity in these areas occurs during the short periods of silence in between music, which is often heard in classical symphonies.
Sarah Edwards, a freshman from Overland Park, takes advantage of this.
"I prefer to listen to classical music while I'm studying rather than other genres because it is more relaxing for me personally," she said. "Songs with words can be too distracting," which is an opinion that many students share.
However, according to a physician from Mayo Clinic, "melodious sounds help encourage the release of dopamine in the reward area of the brain," simply meaning that music can have a positive effect on mood. Such sounds can be heard in indie and folk music through slow melodies and light instruments.
Since simultaneously listening to music while studying is a form of multi-tasking, it is often better to listen to music in intervals—in
between reviewing. Music with lyrics will not only provide a subtle distraction but also keep you relaxed.
These 15 tracks will provide an hour of solid studying accompanied by soothing vocals and soft harmonies.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Plugins reduce distractions
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
In a few clicks, websites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit and StumbleUpon can open up and provide entertainment for hours on end. The Internet allows for instant communication and therefore, instant distraction, raising an important question: can students avoid wasting precious study time on social websites?
"There have always been distractions," Dr. Rasnak said. "The trick is balancing the need for stress relief, and the need for relaxation and the need to take time out and take a deep breath and laugh with the preparation that you need to do to do well on your exams and to be successful as a student."
Dr. Mary Ann Rasnak, the Director of KU's Academic Achievement and Access Center, said that social media can be used both positively and negatively. Browsing Facebook or getting notifications for messages and Tweets can suck time. She emphasizes the importance of finding a healthy balance.
For many, finding that balance is difficult. When students like Caitlin Uyenura, a sophomore from Osage City, are trying to study, social media becomes a time-wasting problem.
"it's such a big distraction," Uyenura said. "You think you'll only spend 10 minutes on it and then you end up on there for an hour."
Much of Uyenura's homework and study materials are online, which tempts her to browse Pinterest instead of studying. From spring break until the end of the spring 2012 semester, Uyenara deactivated her accounts on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram in preparation
for finals.
"I wasn't distracted, so I could study." Uyenura said. "I know that if my account was still up, it's just a habit to go over to your computer and click on Facebook. Since I didn't have an account, it forced me to just go straight to studying."
While Uyenura isn't sure if she will be able to avoid abusing social media through sheer willpower, deleting her accounts again seems drastic. Social media is a daily mode of communication in her life; her basketball camping group, for example, uses Facebook to keep in contact.
Plugins may be her solution. Students can activate plugins for Internet browsers — like StayFocused for Google Chrome and Leechblock for Firefox — to program how much time they want to spend on certain websites in a day. They can also limit browsing to certain times of the day, or block websites entirely.
Junior Collin Johnson, from Council Grove, uses a plugin to block Facebook, Twitter and websites like fmylife.com.
"If I just block the website, then I'm less tempted to have on it," Johnson said. "I can study better for longer periods of time without thinking. 'Oh, I should get on Facebook and see if I have any notifications!' or check out the latest tweets."
All major web browsers offer compatible website-blocking plugins that can be downloaded and installed for free.

The project was one of 12 different items on KUnited's platform this past year. Brandon Woodard, student body vice president, said that this project was made a priority because the idea came from the students.

For some Kansas programs, there won't be much of a transition.
The women's volleyball teams at Kansas and K-State, for instance, boast many players from within the state. That adds to a match that Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard said has always been important to the team.

CAMPUS
COLUMBIA ST. PARK, MARYLAND
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
On Monday, Lawrence residents, University faculty and students took part in a candlelight vigil on Jayhawk Boulevard to honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. The event began with speakers in front of Strong Hall and ended in the Union with speakers, music and dinner.
University celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, a message of equality and tolerance rang through Strong Hall and the Kansas Union yesterday to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The University's celebration of MLK stressed that his passionate message is more than a historical holiday, but is instead symbolic to today's beliefs towards civil rights.
Distinguished English Professor Maryemayne Graham opened the University's event by reading from the "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
"To live in a society that is relatively free of poverty, of social injustice, of racial discrimination, we've got a lot of work to do," Graham said. "We remember people who gave their lives to that kind of work."
Graham believes that Martin Luther King Jr. Day and similar events are about both looking at the past and using that history to gauge actions in the future. She hopes that honoring Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. will spark a discussion about what his beliefs symbolize in the 21st century.
In years past, the University hosted a large celebration that would fill the Lied Center. Fred Rodriguez, vice provost for diversity and equity, hoped that yesterday's celebration
"Are we the post-stay generation? Graham said. "Are we the post-feminist generation? Are we the post-you-name-it? Is all that over and done with? We can't just assume that everybody is on the same page."
would set a precedent for honoring those social issues.
After Graham's reading, organizers distributed candles, and the crowd walked to a reception and program at the Kansas Union. Rodriguez expects attendees to ask themselves who carries on as the advocate for equality of opportunity as the voice of King's message today.
"We want to start this tradition again on campus," Rodriguez said.
Blane Harding, director of multicultural affairs, who gave the keynote address, focused on the individual and what every person must do to live up to King's dream.
"Every single individual in society has to be aware of the responsibilities of moving us forward so that we are equal, so that we are a society devoid of racism or prejudice," Harding said. "We do that individually, we do that through relationships — we don't do that by enacting laws."
Harding believes King's message of tolerance and fighting oppression transcends race and applies to religion, gender, sexual orientation and all other forms of prejudice. Yesterday's program was intended to spark a discussion and encourage attendees to take personal responsibility to create a tolerant society.
"No one's going to make you go to an event in black history month, for example," Harding said. "But if you truly believe in the idea of equality, you need to expand that comfort zone so that you can meet folks that you generally would not meet."

Coaches refocus rivalry on K-State
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
The cloud of black and yellow lifted from Lawrence only to reveal gray skies. No enemy to fight, just angry mobs with nothing to torch.
So this is life in the Border Coul War.
And looking to the west, citizens of Manhattan have never attempted a sneak attack on Lawrence.
Maybe that would spice up the Kansas-Kansas State rivalry, but it might be a tad dramatic. Instead the University of Kansas is left with the Little Apple and a daunting task: Commit to a rivalry that has been one-sided since its inception.
Not that one institution has dominated the other, but one school only focused on its fellow in-state competitor while the other looked in the opposite direction for a challenge.
"Kansas has been Kansas State's rival since I've been in the league," Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price said. "Our rival has been Missouri. That's now being refocused."

But those other programs, the ones that recruit more out-of-state players, they'll be at the center of a rivalry that has become more important with the absence of Missouri.
Either way, there's a school 80 miles down the road that's beginning to receive a lot more attention from Kansas fans. And while it has been more cordial in the past, Wildcat fans have become a new target for a fan base without its natural rival.
Record: Kansas vs. Kansas State

Fraternity animal abuse investigation returns after hiatus

After being on hiatus for more than a month, the investigation into Beta Theta Pi's alleged animal cruelty is set to resume with the start of the semester. Police inquiry into the matter has temporarily been on hold because some of the students involved have been out of Lawrence due to winter break.

In December, The Kansas City Star, Lawrence Journal-World, and The Huffington Post reported that a turkey was abused and killed at the fraternity's annual "Turkey Pull" party on the Friday after finals week.

McKinley said alcohol was involved in the incident. However, McKinley was uncertain of what kind of animal cruelty charges, if any, would be filed. The charges can range from a misdemeanor to felony offenses. Although no arrests have been made, McKinley said a report would most likely be filed to the district attorney's office within 30 days.
"Just because class starts on Tuesday doesn't mean everyone is going to have time to visit with us first thing Tuesday morning," McKinley said. "This isn't a matter of rounding people up."

Board of Regents updates college admission standards
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jakowatz@kansan.com
Prospective students will have to step up academically if they want to be admitted to the University of Kansas.
For the high school classes of 2013 and 2014, these prospective students will have to meet the current admission requirements.
Starting in the fall of 2015 incoming freshmen must meet requirements that the Kansas Board of Regents has set in place for public colleges across the state.
For Kansans, incoming freshmen must complete the Kansas Qualified Admissions (QA) curriculum, have a 2.0 GPA and at least a 21 ACT score, or rank in the top third of their graduating class. Out of state students must have a 2.5 GPA and a 24 on their ACT or rank in the top third of their graduating class.
The University wants to take these requirements a step higher as a part of the Bold Aspirations initiative. For Kansas high school students graduating in 2016 who hope to attend the University, they must complete the QA curriculum with a 2.0

Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions at the University, said the whole goal of Bold Aspirations is to assert the University as the established research university it is.
"We are the flagship university, and the academic requirement at KU doesn't measure the admissions," Pinamonti said.
Non-residents must complete the QA curriculum with a 2.5 GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25 overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.
The first-year retention rate of freshmen in 2010 was nearly 80 percent, meaning that of the 3,491 students who were freshmen in the fall, only 2,790 came back for their sophomore years — a loss of 701 students.
"We've been working with high school counselors, and the feedback we are getting from counselors and students is that they say it's important we are

The timbre of the flute cadenza at the end of Symphonic Sketches from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story gave pre-pharmacy major Connor Bowman a sense of warmth whenever he heard it played by the KU Symphonic Orchestra (KUSO) in Lawrence or Kansas City, Mo.
The cadenza signaled the death of Tony, the Romeo-esque protagonist in the Shakespeare-inspired musical, after he was shot realizing his love, Maria, was still alive. Bowman, a sophomore from Lenexa, listened to this not from the audience, but from the stage as the principal flutist in the orchestra.
"I'm the only one playing, and that feeling is really cool," said Bowman, who is also working toward a music minor. "There's a moment when it resonated throughout the hall. I just stopped to take it in: embodying death in front of the audience."
It's not very common to have a non-music major play a solo or serve as the leader of an instrumental section in an audition ensemble at the University. In fact, less than 10 percent of the KU audition ensembles are non-music majors.
"Music majors are required to be in one of the ensembles, but you don't need to be a music major to be a part of it. It's a matter of passing the audition."
Neely said KUSO has a heavy practice workload and that the music and class is geared toward music majors. However, auditions are blind and seating is decided by the quality of the auditions. By achieving the principal seat, Bowman said the judges thought he played the best flute audition.
"It could mean that we don't feel the same pressure as music majors," Bowman said. "We're doing it for enjoyment, and we do it because it's something that we love to do."
"The audition process is the same process during the first week of class," said David Neely, the director of orchestral activities.

"It's not about what your major is, it's about do you love playing," Toulouse said.

"I miss playing in a group." Good said. "This is just an hour once a week, not a big time commitment."
She took University Band for no credit because to her, it was fun and relaxing.

when I come in, but it takes your mind off things." Good said.
"I've played for eight years, and I wanted to keep playing." Riley said. "I knew it just wouldn't overload my schedule. I haven't had to practice too much for this music. I just enjoy it."

majors who want to join orchestra in the future.
"One of the things we're looking at are options for some kinds of ensembles for non-major students," Neely said.
Right now, KUSO is the only departmental orchestra ensemble.
"It would probably be good," Bowman said. "I don't know if it would get people to go to more lessons and things like that. But I think it's a good idea."
BAND FOR NON-MAJORS

Sharon Toulouse, assistant director of bands, said some music students also play in multiple ensembles with primary and secondary instruments. Band has two ensembles that are audition-only: Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band. Those two also have blind auditions.
"We don't care if you are a music major or not," Toulouse said. "Even if that doesn't work, there's the opportunity to be in University Band."
This is a no-audition, sign-up ensemble that performs once every semester. Music majors only fill five to 10 percent of the

Trees planted on newly renovated Wescoe Beach
jhlavacek@kansan.com
JOANNA HLVACEK
Students returning from winter break will be greeted by a more beautiful Wescoe Beach. Several trees were planted in front of the remodeled terrace Wednesday as
part of Student Senate's Wescoe Beach Renovation Project.
This is the final segment of the $250,000 initiative, which included the installation of 12 seat-walls, LED lighting and 10 electrical outlets on Wescoe Beach last semester. There will be 12 trees total, with a
few held back at the moment for trimming and other preparations.
The trees were originally slated for planting early last semester, but plans were delayed due to unseasonably warm weather conditions, said Allison Gerth, a planning and landscape architecture assistant with the Office of Design and Construction Management.
"They have to be dug up from the nursery when they're dormant before they're transplanted to their new location," Gerth said. "It limits the shock on the tree."
locusts and giant elms will start showing more green foliage later this spring.

SAFETY
Guns bring fear to everyday living
You know this girl is gorgeous when she is still beautiful in sweats.
The previous three weeks left ten murdered and three wounded, but no gunshots were fired on Oct. 23, 2002. It was just my ninth birthday. I lived in Centreville, Va., where a 20-mile ride down the Beltway led to the nation's capital. And there, in the suburbs of freedom, I learned fear. But no one died on my ninth birthday - there was only a message released by the Chief of Police on behalf of the Beltway sniper.
It felt like I had aged far beyond the candles on my cake let on. I couldn't play freeze tag outside with my friends or roller-blade down the block. Field trips were cancelled, my soccer season was cancelled, Halloween was cancelled. My whole world was being held at gunpoint, and we were giving in to every demand.
I'm the kinda guy that asks for a to-go box at a buffet.
There were new procedures,new restrictions,new ways of life.We had to be prepared because we weren't safe anywhere.
The news anchors called him the Beltway sniper, but we didn't know if it was one man or 20. One day, someone was shot at a Shell gas station in Maryland. Another day, it was a woman in the parking lot of my local Home Depot. Anyone could have bought that gun. Anyone could have been the killer. Anyone could have been the woman lying dead on a gravel parking lot. Anyone could have been the husband weeping over bloodstained grocery bags and his best friend's lifeless corpse. But the sniper had a right to own his gun; no one could deny that.

believing in God. I learned that my dad wasn't really a superhero
could always be there to check for the monsters under my bed, and to protect me from the ones in the movie theatres and the elementary schools and the shopping malls and the beltways.
believing in God. I learned that my dad wasn't really a superhero – he waited in his car until the D.C. transit bus arrived every day instead of standing at the stop like a sitting duck. I stopped thinking I had a safe learning environment after a 13-year-old boy was shot and killed entering his middle school. I grew up too fast. And at the same time, I know there will always be a part of me that won't ever grow up; a part that will wish my parents
But as a country, we learned to be safer so that we could accommodate their rights. We put metal detectors in our schools and made "Code Red" drills and lockdowns as routine as saying the Pledge of Allegiance. And I learned to deal with it, too. I stopped sleeping, so I could always be alert. I stopped trusting people. I tried my hardest to block out a few years of my childhood. And now I see a therapist to work through my problems. Insomnia. Anxiety. Depression.
It's been over ten years since my town came under attack.
but the story repeats itself every day. And every day, there are new victims, and not just the ones in the caskets. There are kids in Newtown who saw their playmates die and still have to go back to school, and parents who have to let them. There are teenagers in Overland Park who will be afraid to go outside when concealed carry laws pass. There are amendments for gun ownership, but none for mental health, happiness and comfort. And so I'll make each day a little safer, as a slave to my fear and a slave to my freedom.

MUSIC
Saving Justin Bieber's career
If you're relatively "up to date" on things that don't matter, you know about the photos of Justin Bieber allegedly smoking marijuana and the nonsensical blattering that quickly followed in the media. When the ethical journalism pioneers at TMZ broke the "story" a few weeks ago, a gaggle of internet trolls started the horrendous "#cutforbieber" trend on Twitter, posing as dedicated "belieber" vowing to employ self-harm in protest of the pop star's supposed affinity for smoking weed. This turned an otherwise unsurprising photo leak — a child star doing drugs, whodat it? into a world-wide debacle that had world leaders and CEOs lying sleepless in bed each night for weeks.
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
Now, to be fair, there really hasn't been any solid confirmation that Bieber was actually getting high — or, in other words, coughing uncontrollably because it's his first time — on the evening the photos were taken. But the slow-burning object stowed between his fingers looks like a blunt, which just so happens to be rolled appropriately thin enough for a pop star sporting a pompadour haircut.
That's sufficient evidence for most people who feel as if they're obligated to offer up nuggets of sage-like advice, such as "Stop hanging out with those guys in the flat-billed hats," and "Go to rehab." Most of them offer it with the best of intentions: They want "Biebs" to continue being a "good role model," which one apparently can accomplish by writing songs for seventh graders to awkward
ly grind dance to in dimly-lit basements. They want Bieber to stay focused on his hits — the ones involving pop charts, not a bong.
That's good advice, really. However, if Bieber liked listening to good advice, he probably wouldn't have sparked up a J while some random groupie with a phone started snapping pictures right in front of his face. Nonetheless, he still probably needs some advice on how to move on, but don't bank on him otting for the good advice
So, in case he needs it, here's some bad advice: Why not use this situation as a stepping stone into the lazy, yet lucrative genre of modern "stoner music?"
It shouldn't be a hard transition, which is ideal if you're going to be getting baked all day, anyway. They don't make the stoner-favorites like they used to; you used to have to be musically talented and innovative like Grateful Dead, Sublime, Cypress Hill and other stonemusic pioneers. Nowadays, all you really have to do is latch onto the coattails of the successful artists who came before you and essentially do whatever they did, but with different lyrics. You want to try your hand at today's stoner rap, Biebs? As long as you mention that, you are stoner baloney once every two
The persona of a stoner music sensation is a lot less complex these days, too. Take a bunch of black-and-white photos with a stare that says "I'm rich, bro," while a robust, mushroom-shaped plume of smoke billows slowly from your lips like you're Notorious B.L.G. Then, start performing at Bonnaroo each year and make sure you get charged with marijuana possession at least once a year — apparently, if you're not on probation these days, you're not a legit stoner rapper.
sentences, you can get away with rapping about the debt ceiling and high schoolers will still hotbox their '96 Camrys to it every day. Your stellar record sales won't miss a beat.
The only real way that can go wrong is if you violate your probation and have to do a few months in prison. You're a celebrity, though, and they can't really throw you in with the rest of the ruffians, so it should be a cakewalk. When a reporter comes to interview you, just say you're working on a new record and it'll automatically become the "most anticipated record of the year." Worked for Lil Wayne; his first post-prison album in 2010 was garbage, yet he still cashed in.
Your new fans won't forget about you, either. "#FreeBieber" will probably trend on Twitter every day until your release, and believe me, that's a far better hashtag than "#cutforbieber."
ROLE MODELS
Finding the hero within ourselves
Heroes are crashing before us. In less than a week, we found the celebration surrounding Notre Dame linebacker a hoax and the acclaim surrounding 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong a fraud.
Teo should be fine — intelligence is not a prerequisite for playing linebacker in the NFL. In fact, with the controversy surrounding head trauma in football, maybe less brainpower is better.
Armstrong faces a steep climb, steeper than the French Alps he ascended while racing. I admired Armstrong when he raced. And I admire him for his public confession.
I cannot imagine a more boring sport to watch on television than cycling, but during his string of victories I tuned-in to watch the Tour de France, if only for a few minutes.
In 2001, I watched some of the race and witnessed a moment in sports I will never forget. Armstrong led the race with Jan Ullrich closely behind. As they climbed the mountainous terrain, Ullrich took a nasty spill off the side. Instead of increasing his lead, Armstrong dismounted his bike and waited for Ullrich to recover and rejoin the race. The spectacle gave me chills; I had never seen sportsmanship so precisely displayed.
I don't question Armstrong the athlete. Doping is not a secret in cycling. It's not part of the culture; it is the culture. I wonder about Armstrong the human. Armstrong's transgression was not doping. Armstrong's greatest crime is the lies he told to cover his darkest secret. Now he must make amends for the lives he destroyed in the wake of his deception.
Now that Armstrong confessed, however, we can no longer vilify him. That's how it works. When one seeks forgiveness, the proper protocol is to forgive. Granted, Armstrong must heed important stipulations: when one seeks forgiveness, one must commit himself
By David Scott
dscott@kansan.com
to righting his wrong. An apology, or confession, is not simply saying. "I'm sorry." It's about changing one's behavior and lessening the damage done.
I am confident Armstrong will do this. The magnitude of his confession leaves no other option.
Vilifying Armstrong is symptomatic of something more. Many feel let down, even betrayed, when athletes, celebrities, or politicians transgress a storyline we ourselves weave (often with the help of the media). Some people protest that these groups should not be seen as heroes in the first place. Instead, some argue, we should look to history, religion and education to find true heroes, like Martin Luther King Jr., Neil deGrasse Tyson and Jesus.
I say we choose "none of the above" as heroes. Instead, we look to ourselves and be our own heroes.
Finding inspiration in others is part of life. Revering and placing them on pedestal is not. Humans are perfectly imperfect. And no one will ever have the power to save you. Only you can do that. In the great dream of life, we must write our own story and play the lead character.
Don't look to others to pave your way. Pave your own way. Others will join you on your path. If someone wants to divert you, they were not meant for your journey.

FASHION
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
Come nightfall, Marquess can use her same blazer again with a completely different outfit. Here, she paired a high waisted velvet skirt, white snakeskin pumps and a grey blouse for a night out with the girls. A high waisted wide-leg trouser could easily replace the skirt for an intern shift, or a swipe of lipstick could make this a date-night ensemble.
CALLAN REILLY/KANSAN
One of the best things about fashion is the ability to experiment with clothing. Several people may purchase the same item, and yet they may all wear it completely differently. Those differences are what style is all about.
Despite varieties in personal style, there is certainly one article of clothing that I believe all women should own. It's flattering for any body type, can be worn in an infinite amount of ways, can be purchased at an array of prices and is appropriate for an endless amount of events. What
PARKER
is this mystery piece, you ask?
A pair of good jeans, maybe,
or perhaps a nice pair of black
pumps? While those are very
guestes — and should
also be closet staples — my
first and foremost must-have
item is a classic black blazer.
A blazer? How boring, you say. But you are so wrong. A black blazer is the most versatile article of clothing so far in existence — even better than a pair of perfect fitting jeans. Where jeans are inappropriately casual, a blazer is not. And you may be incorrectly convinced that a blazer is too fancy for places where jeans would come in handy, but with the right technique, it can be worn anywhere.
My favorite way to blaze, if you will, is oversized with a mini skirt or short shorts hiding beneath. The jacket is always a tad longer than what's under it, and a blouse is buttoned all the way to the top to balance out showing off the leg. A small clutch and heel and it weekend perfection.
Blazers are so crucial right now, that even the latest Glamour magazine gave them a shout out. The scoop: Each body type has a special blazer shaped for them. For flat-chested girls, aim for a blazer with a structured shoulder. Feminine detailed jackets work best for those with broad shoulders, and longer blazers look best on petite gals who lack in the height department. There are so many shapes, patterns and colors to choose from.

Sophomore journalism major Tayler Marquess from Scottsdale, Ariz., proves that blazers don't always have to be business friendly. This petite blonde threw her staple piece over a hooded zip up and t-shirt for a class-appropriate look. The skinny jeans and Converse are a perfect way to make this blazer daytime friendly.

This closet must-have goes for men, too. The hoodie-blazer combo is totally unisex friendly, though I wouldn't say the same for the high-waisted skirt and blouse sequence.

"OBLIVION" - APRIL 19
O.B.LIVION
Co-writer/director Joseph Kosinski constructed one of the most visually satisfying and flat-out cool sci-fi action films in recent memory with "TRON: Legacy". In his sophomore effort, he takes on an original concept involving a human-evacuated Earth. Tom Cruise stars as one of the planet's last drone repairman who discovers an underground group of survivors as well as a much greater threat. I can't promise an overly unique story, but it will certainly be a grand feast for the eyes.

DIMENSION 8.2023
"STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS"
- MAY 17
There's a reason FX plays the "Star Trek" reboot all the time. It's so perfectly entertaining that it never gets old. The only aspect lacking a bit is the villain. This seems resolved in the sequel, as British badass Benedict Cumberbatch plays a dastardly opponent who's destroying Starfleet from within, leading Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew on an epic fight for retribution. With J.J. Abrams at the helm again, this should be even more dazzling than the first one. The final frontier never looked so promising.
"PACIFIC RIM"-JULY 12
Creature master Guillermo del Toro returns to the director's chair
with a project of enormous scope and the simplest categorization: giant monster movie. Better yet, it's exactly the kind your inner-child has been dying to see ever since you stopped watching Godzilla films: humongous robots vs. garganuan monsters. Seriously, what's not to like? Even if that sounds silly, del Toro is an excellent filmmaker who's guaranteed to turn this guilty
pleasure premise into a righteously awesome spectacle.
"ELYSIUM"-AUG.9
South African wunderkind Neill Blomkamp surprised everyone with his mind-blowing blow, "District 9," creating one of the most unique, meaningful and visceral sci-fi movies ever made. Well, imagine that on steroids with a dystopian future instead of aliens and you've got his follow-up, "Elysium." Matt Damon stars as a man outfitted in crazy high-tech weaponry on a mission to equalize the playing field between the poor, living on a desolate Earth, and the rich, living on a perfect-world space station. Expect one intensely kick-ass ride.
"GRAVITY" - OCT. 4
a way home before oxygen runs out, is nothing short of revolutionary filmmaking. Alfonso Cuaron ("Children of Men") brings his signature long takes — the opening shot alone lasts 17 minutes — to the phenomenon of drifting weightlessly in magnificent 3D.

Short films shine on Monday at Sundance Film Festival
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Think of the Sundance Film Festival's shorts program as a glimpse into the future of movies.
Trevor Groth, director of programming for the festival, knows the crystal-ball aspects of Sundance's shorts firsthand. He remembers the years both Andersons' work surfaced in the pile of submissions. It still gives him chills. "Watching, you can feel the future that is going to unfold in front of them." Groth says. "From the beginning their voices were that distinctive."
Though you never know how fate, or fickle audiences, will favor them, the shorts filmmakers at Sundance this year are an eclectic international bunch whose work carries that sweet sense of discovery. The programming team's mantra show us something we've never seen before has resulted in a creative canvas of 65 shorts infused with an irrepressible sense of invention that is infectious to watch.
Groth, who began his Sundance career 20 years ago by helping program shorts, will never forget the moment when a studio exec passed along an underground video whose irreverent dark humor and inherent weirdness just spoke to him. Called "The Spirit of Christmas," it was by a couple of unknowns Matt Stone and Trey Parker before "South Park." Groth tracked down Stone and Parker, nabbed their film for the festival, and says it still stands for him as a classic example of how you can find "the purest of cinema in shorts there is no need to compromise."
It's easy to shortchange shorts as merely stepping stones to the real deal feature-length films. But just as a short story is not a novel with fewer pages, a short film is its own beast. A great one requires a rigorous discipline in storytelling, masterful editing and a clear understanding of what exactly you are trying to say. An inspired idea doesn't hurt either.
This is why Groth loves to see established filmmakers like Todd Haynes and Neil LaBute come back to the form again and again. LaBute, for example, is credited with writing three shorts in 2012, directing one, and contributing a segment to last year's "Stars in Shorts," which is exactly what the title suggests all that while working on three feature films in various stages of production.
Among my early favorites is the existential animation piece "Oh Willy .." from Belgium's Marc James Roels and Emma De Swaef. It unfolds during Willy's return to his most elemental self, specifically the nudist camp where he was raised. The stuffed-cloth characters, constructed out of what looks to be flesh-colored felt, tell a modern-day story about mortality and the measure of a life. It's a quirky yet emotional piece about a savage more pudgy than noble, his bumbling indecision remarkably captured in meticulous stopmotion.
Two other animation pieces that caught my eye "Seraph" and "Thank You" could not be more different in style or tone. Both take provocative cuts at the ways in which love leaves its mark: a graphically rendered gay teen who carves eyes into everything, including flesh, and a snowman whose heart literally melts for a fire-tinged puppy.
Whether 2013 will uncover any filmmakers, it certainly has its share of wonderfully weird shorts.
Sundance's short shorts and long shorts range from a few minutes to nearly 50; the average is closer to 15. With so little time to play with, a filmmaker can't afford to squander a second, much less a minute.
Los Angeles-based mixed-media artist Rachael Mayeri, whose work more frequently turns up in museums around the world, the film is a wildly provocative meta meditation on media, monkeys and humans dressed as monkeys. Essentially
a soap opera about the social dynamics of chimpanzees, it was made for chimp consumption and played to the primate inhabitants of Scotland's Edinburgh Zoo on TVs scattered around their space. It is strangely funny, yet absorbing to watch them watch and like so many of the shorts, leaves you pondering the implications long after.
Sundance's democratic process helps, literally anyone, can submit a short for festival consideration.
That audiences are increasingly open to embracing "six minutes of weird," as Sundance's current shorts programmer Jon Korn put it, is one of the more gratifying shifts he and co-programmer Mike Plante have seen take place. There are fewer "shorts as calling cards" from feature director hopefuls and more making the most of a few minutes in the entries the two personally screened during the selection process this year roughly 3,000 between them, a record 8,127 submissions in all screened by the team of eight.
And then there are the documentaries, typically the longest of the shorts, often close to the 50-minute cutoff. Among the standouts is "Outlawed in Pakistan," tracing one girl's fight against the rape that brought her, not her attackers, a death sentence by tribal elders.
The shorts are, quite simply, seductive; even the ones that don't hit all the right notes are intriguing. As Korn says, "It's great to see something on its way to being something special."

Jayhawks place sixth at UCA championship
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
The Kansas cheerleading squad placed sixth on Sunday during the Universal Cheerleaders Association Championship in Orlando. Fla.
The Jayhawks improved this year after finishing 10th in last year's competition. The cheerleading squad's two-and-a-half minute routine included two music portions and a cheer.
"We were very excited," said senior Jordan Snyder. "This is a big improvement from last year. We were proud of our performance and we were happy with how we were placed."
The cheerleading squad was 7 points short of earning a spot in the top five, which was the expectation from head coach Corey Stone and assistant coach Nami Stone.
"Our long-term goal for the program is to really be in the top three consistently and in the top tier of teams," Corey said. "We didn't quite get that, but we were close. There were a lot of people who after the competition told us that they really liked our routine and were surprised we didn't place even a little higher. That made us feel good that
we are getting close to where we want to be in the top tier of teams."
Despite being the head coach, Corey credited his wife, Nami, for the team's success as it prepared for the UCA competition.
"She's the one who really does coaching the national squad the most," Corey said. "She's at all the practices, and she talks to the squads the most afterward."
The Rock Chalk Dancers also made some noise in Orlando during the Universal Dance Association this past weekend. The dance team finished ninth in the hiphop category among all Division I schools.
After a two-year hiatus, the dance team returned to the UDA competition under first-year coach Raquel Thomas. Thomas was hoping her team could also place in the top five, but was excited to help Kansas make its return and compete in finals.
The University was one of 56 schools that competed in last weekend's national competition.

“There's so many” Releford said.
“I can't even name one.”
Now in his fifth and final year of eligibility, Releford has the privilege of being subjected to one more night of clever signs when the No. 3 Jayhawks face No.11 Kansas State in Manhattan at 7 p.m.
He said the K-State game is just
another game on his team's schedule, as they try to win a ninth consecutive Big 12 title. He did he
concede that the fans and media inflate the game's importance.
Releford and the Jayhawks' three other senior starters should be comfortable handling the pressure of playing a game that fans on both sides of the rivalry now view as "The Game."

In past years, Kansas fans tended to view K-State as the annoying
But the two rivalries have a vastly different feel to him.
"K-State's always been the rival, but I think it was more of a respect rivalry than what Missouri's was,
because I think on both sides of the Missouri rivalry, there was a lot of hatred that was involved," Self said. "I think this will turn a little bit to become more heated as we move forward because we don't have the Tigers around, and they don't have the Tigers around."
The fact that the Wildcats enter tonight's matchup ranked No. 11 in the country adds fuel to the rivalry's growing fire. It's the third time in
the past four years both programs entered the game ranked. For Self, that's a good thing.
"I don't mind our league being good, and I certainly don't mind K-State being good," Self said. "I would much rather play a K-State team that's ranked high than not play a K-State team that isn't ranked."

Syracuse rallies in final seconds
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — C.J. Fair tipped in the go-ahead basket with 19.4 seconds left and No. 3 Syracuse pushed past No. 21 Cincinnati to win 57-55 on Monday.
Trailing by seven with just over 5 minutes left. Syracuse tied it at 55 on Michael Carter-Williams' 3-pointer from the top of the key with 80 seconds left.
Fair's tip came after Jerami Grant drove the lane and missed. Cincinnati's Cashmere Wright missed a 3 from straight on with 2.9 seconds left and the Orange had their 35th straight win at home, the longest active streak in Division I.
Syracuse (18-1, 6-0 Big East) was coming off a 70-68 win at Louisville on Saturday that knocked the Cardinals out of the No. 1 spot in the nation. The Orange, tied for third in the rankings with Kansas, are the only Big East team with an unblemished conference record.
The Orange outscored the Bearcats 13-4 in the final minutes. Fair finished with 13 points.
Syracuse is 28-1 in regular-season play in the Big East in the past two years, that lone loss coming at Notre Dame exactly one year ago Monday.
The Bearcats (16-4, 4-3 Big East) had won three in a row. They lost on the road for the first time in eight games.
Wright, who sprained his right knee Tuesday in a win over DePaul and did not play in Cincinnati's overtime victory against Marquette on Saturday, finished with five points on 2-for-13 shooting. He was 1 of 8 on 3s.
Carter-Williams had 16 points and seven assists and Brandon Triche had 13 points for the Orange.
Syracuse's James Southerland, tied for second on the team in scoring at 13.6 points per game, missed his third straight game because of an eligibility issue. He was in street clothes on the bench.
Cincinnati played the shot-clock game with its deliberate half-court approach and kept the game close
Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati with 21 points and JaQuon Parker had 11.
A high-arcing 3 by Kilpatrick was the fourth make in five tries from long range for the Bearcats and gave them a 36-29 lead with 13:46 left.
Trailing by just a basket at the break, the Bearcats started the second with a 12-2 spurt keyed by consecutive 3-pointers from Parker when he was left unguarded in the right corner.
Carter-Williams responded with seven straight points, his 3 from the top of the key making it 36-all midway through the half.
Undaunted, the Bearcats kept charging, and Kilpatrick's sixth 3-pointer of the game and a layup by Cheikh Mbodj completed an 11-4 spurt that gave them a 49-42 lead with 5:44 left.
Triche, whose helped boost Syracuse at Louisville, then hit two straight jumpers and fed Grant for a slam dunk to draw the Orange within 54-50 with 3:17 left.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Before he competed in the tour-de-France, Lance Armstrong was a professional in what sporting event?
A: Triathlon
lancearmstrong.com
THE MORNING BREW Public not ready to forgive lying athletes
In the span of one week, two adored athletes saw both of their reputations crumble.
The truth shattered both Lance Armstrong's and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Tee's legacies, leaving them and their public relations teams to pick up the pieces. Hopefully, this can be a learning opportunity for other athletes: covering up a lie is always worse than telling the truth.
In the age of social media and smartphones, word travels fast. We are able to find out about Lindsay Lohan's arrest before she sobers up enough to find out herself. However, this advanced information sharing technology means that, if you lie, you are lying to the entire world. It only takes one person to uncover the truth before your entire lie is blown and the whole world knows.
By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com
The truth is still pending in the Manti Teo hoax story, in which his deceased girlfriend, who apparently inspired him to miss tackles in the BCS Championship, never actually existed. Whether or not Teo perpetuated the hoax is still to be determined, but it seems that at some point, Teo discovered that his girlfriend was about as real as the square root of a negative number and, in his embarrassment, told a lie. Understandable, right?
But when you or I get caught lying, we have to apologize to a few people. Teo has to explain himself to everybody. Do you think that Teo wishes that he publicized the hoax as soon as he found out
rather than prolonged it with a lie? I'd bet on the affirmative.
Meanwhile, Lance Armstrong Juiced up his legs to the point where his calves looked like a Thanksgiving turkey. The fact that Teo is getting most of the attention shows how strange his story is, but Armstrong's lie is far more damning.
For years, Armstrong not only vehemently denied allegations of doping, but also threatened lawsuits to anyone who made those claims. He manipulated the public by telling the press that the good guys trying to uncover the truth were actually the bad guys. At some point, Armstrong should have realized that he was never going to escape his past
If he had acted with more prudence at an earlier time, he would have still lost his records, but perhaps his charity's reputation could have survived and his
KU
brave fight against cancer would have been his legacy.
The public is willing to forgive many things, but it is hesitant to forgive dishonesty. Let this be the lesson from this bizarre week in sports.

Kings' owner to sell team to Seattle after NBA approval
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The only thing stopping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is approval by NBA owners. The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday morning. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors.
A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen's group will buy 65 percent of the franchise for $525 million, move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was waiting approval.
The sale figure is a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees. Hansen's group also is hoping to buy out other
minority investors.
The Malofos will get a $30 million non-refundable down payment by Feb. according to the deal, one person
said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale.
The plan by Hansen's group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The
deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1.
"We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the

fans and our team members. We would also like to thank Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise," Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family.
Johnson, himself a former All-Star point guard in the NBA, said in a statement that the city remained undeterred despite the agreement with the Seattle group.

"Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings by selling
"When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win. In particular, we have been focused like a laser on identifying an ownership group that will both have the financial resources desired by the NBA
and the vision to make the Kings the NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay Packers have been in the NFL"
In a saga that has dragged on for nearly three years, Johnson and Sacramento appear to be facing their most daunting challenge yet.
Hansen, a Seattle native and San Francisco-based investor, reached agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million arena near the city's other stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field.
As part of the agreement, no construction will begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. The arena also faces a pair of lawsuits, including one from a longshore workers union because the arena is being built close to port and industrial operations.
Hansen's group is expected to pitch in $290 million in private investment toward the arena, along with helping to pay for transportation improvements in the area around the stadiums.

The spring semester is just beginning, but the Jayhawk tennis team got back to work early as it captured three flight victories this weekend at the Clemson Winter Indoor Classic hosted by the University of Clemson.
For Kansas, this weekend shined a light on some of the team's strong points. Even though the team didn't win a doubles flight in this non-ITA sanctioned event, it beat a ranked LSU team in two of three doubles matches. It was also a bit of a bright spot for singles play, as the team bagged singles flights five, six and eight.
This tournament was the first action the Jayhawks have seen since the San Diego State Fall Classic in November, and it showed, as Kansas was 5-8 in singles play and 3-7 in doubles play, winning three of the possible 12 flights. The seeding for the fiveteam field was done by a hidden dual format, meaning the results would not count toward team records, but would count for the individuals.
The level of competition in the field had the potential to make any team look rusty, as three of the five teams came into the tournament in the ITA team ranking
top 60: No. 22 Clemson, No. 45 LSU and No. 55 Tulane. Charleston Southern and Kansas were unranked when play started.
The Jayhawks will look to build off last weekend's strong start as dual-play starts inside the Jayhawk Tennis Center against Denver University on Feb. 1 at 3 p.m.
Two players in the field were ranked in the ITA top 125 in singles play, but the most important player for Kansas last weekend was junior Dylan Windom. Windom won her first match against Caroline Magnusson of Tulane. Then she coupled with freshman Maria Jose Cardona to defeat Kaitlin Burns and Keri Frankenberger of LSU in a terribly close match, 8-6. Windom and Cardona then exhausted Magnusson and Caroline Thornton of Tulane, 8-7 and 7-5.
While Windom was clutch this weekend, Cardona has been steadily improving in doubles play throughout the season. In November, she won in doubles with senior Monica Pezzotti. Although she didn't win any of her singles matches last weekend, she did win two in doubles play with Windom, proving her ability to play well no matter the partner.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
Kansas travels to Manhattan tied with the Wildcats at 4-0 for the Big 12 lead, and the Jayhawks could just as easily be sitting at 2-2. Coach Bill Self said he judges senior Eliah Johnson by the team's win-loss record. For now, that record is sparkling, but if the senior doesn't start hitting shots soon, that record may become less appealing. To his credit, he has appeared to take it upon himself to get Ben McLemore involved in the offense.

State. The Jayhawks' other guards were stagnant for most of the game Saturday against Texas. If Elijah Johnson continues to miss shots, it'll be up to McLemore to demand the ball and look for his shot so the Wildcats can't sag on Jeff Withey down low.
Can Kansas snap out of its early conference funk?
QUESTION MARK
The Jayhawks could have a .500 record in Big 12 play if not for freshman Ben McLemore's threepointer against Iowa State and an ugly comeback against Texas. The Wildcats handled Kansas easily in Manhattan two seasons ago, but the Jayhawks normally find a way to win in Manhattan, where they are 22-2 since Bramlage Coliseum opened. Senior Elijah Johnson said his team learned a lesson after barely beating Texas on Saturday. If he's wrong, then Kansas is due for the loss it nearly had Saturday.
BY THE NUMBERS

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks' offense finds its groove. The Wildcats don't have the offensive arsenal Kansas owns, but that doesn't matter if that arsenal is misfiring. Perhaps the most important thing for senior guard Elijah Johnson is just to play smart. As long as he facilitates the offense, he doesn't need to score every time down the court. But when he does choose to shoot it, his shots need to be high-percentage looks within the offense's framework.

Withey was Kansas' most consistent player Saturday at Texas, finishing with 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks, two of which led to Kansas transition buckets. His 4.59 blocks per game is second in the country behind St. John's Chris Obekpa. His defense down low is especially crucial while Kansas fixes its offensive struggles.

BENJAMIN SMITH
One of the best glue guys in recent Kansas memory, Young hasn't proved to be a serious scoring threat game in and game out, but the Jayhawks don't need him to be. His biggest contribution during conference play has been his rebounding, especially on the offensive end. He's grabbed at least two offensive rebounds in each of the Jayhawks' last five games. Grasping extra possessions will be key against a Wildcat team that boasts the conference's second-best rebound margin.

The senior turned in a miserable shooting performance against Texas, finishing one of 11 from the floor. Coach Bill Self said it's only a matter of time until his shots start falling, but Kansas would benefit from that time coming sooner rather than later.

TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Releford hasn't made a three-point shot since conference play began, but he's only attempted seven of them. But he's been his reliable self in transition, helping Kansas change the tempo when its half-court offense is struggling. He'll be even more important defensively against Kansas State, where his versatility could help Self create matchup problems. The Wildcats typically don't start anyone taller than 6 feet 7 inches, although 6-foot-11-inch Jordan Henriquez plays significant minutes.
BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
★★★★☆
About the only complaint Self has about McLemore's offense is that he doesn't shoot more. The redshirt freshman admits he must do a better job of asserting himself and creating his own offense. After attempting only three shots in the first half against Texas, McLemore made four of his seven attempts in the second half, keying the Kansas comeback. In an early battle for the Big 12 lead, McLemore could stake himself as the top candidate for Big 12 Player of the Year honors in the conference with a big performance on the road.

ANGEL RODRIGUEZ, GUARD
Rodriguez is second in the Big 12 with a 2.16 assist-to-turnover ratio, behind only his teammate Will Spradling. He was one of four Wildcats that scored in double figures Saturday against Oklahoma, but his nine assists were even more important. He also recorded eight assists in the Wildcats' first conference game, a narrow 73-67 victory against then-No. 22 Oklahoma State.
The only Wildcat to average in double figures scoring, McGruder is third in the Big 12 with 15.5 points per game. He has to carry the offensive load if Kansas State is to knock of the Jayhawks. He scored only four points in the Wildcat's loss to Gonzaga in mid-December. He scored 16 points in the Wildcats' other loss against Michigan, but he didn't heat up until the second half.

A product of Shawne Mission South High School, Spradling has been regarded as one of Kansas State's most reliable three-point threats during his past two years in Manhattan. However, his consistency has always been his problem. He's made less than 35 percent of his three-point attempts this year, which is actually a slight improvement from his sophomore campaign. He is the conference's best protector of the ball, as he sports a healthy 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio.

THOMAS GIPSON, FORWARD

The tallest Wildcat starter at 6 feet 7 inches, Gipson leads Kansas State with 5.9 rebounds per game. His 48 offensive rebounds are 16 more than Jeff Withey has on the season, and 11 more than Kevin Young's tallied. Although he's undersized at 6 feet 7 inches, he weighs a bruising 270 pounds. He could struggle against Withey's length and Young's motor. Gipson has turned the ball over 29 times and has recorded only four assists.

Rodney McGruder, Guard
Under first-year coach Bruce Weber, the Wildcats are a serious threat to grab a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas State enters on an eight-game winning streak, including a victory over then-No. 8 Florida. This is the same Gators team that just shellacked Missouri by 31 points. Kansas State is led offensively by Rodney McGruder, the only Wildcat who seems capable of producing big offensive numbers every night.
PLAYER TO WATCH
X
The senior has posted five games of at least 20 points this season and is third in the conference in scoring with 15.5 points per game. The reigning Big 12 Player of
the Week is averaging 19.5 points per game during the Wildcats' eight-game winning streak and has earned the conference's Player of the Week award four times this season.
What role will turnovers play?
QUESTION MARK
The Wildcats value the basketball more than any other team in the Big 12, as they lead the conference with a +2.5 turnover margin. Will Spradling and Angel Rodriguez are the only players in the conference with an assist-to-turnover ratio above two. Kansas State turns the ball over 12.4 times per game, but turned it over only eight times in its past two games, while Kansas has committed at least 14 turnovers in four of its past five games. If the Jayhawks' half-court offense struggles again like it did against Texas, the Wildcats would put them in position to earn the upset by holding onto the ball and eliminating Kansas' transition opportunities.

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
The veteran Kansas team gets rattled. Three Jayhawk starters are fifth-year seniors, and Elijah Johnson came to Lawrence four years ago with Xavier Henry and Thomas Robinson. The seniors must stay composed for 40 minutes, but they also must help Ben McLemore play in what will likely be the most hostile environment he'll ever face in college. The Jayhawks' pace seems to follow McLemore's pace. If the Kansas State crowd gets him rattled, 40 minutes in Manhattan may feel like forever.

Kansas fans may have overlooked Kansas State when the 2012-13 schedules were released this season.
Many were focused on a non-conference schedule that included Michigan State, Ohio State and Temple in a year that the Big 12 appeared weak. Many cited the fact that the Jayhawks have won nine of the last 10 games against the Wildcats, and beyond that, 44 of the last 47 games.

tgraff@kansan.com
Now, just past the mid-season mark, this game couldn't be bigger. No. 3 Kansas heads to Manhattan to face the No. 11 Wildcats, and both teams are tied for first in the Big 12 regular season standings at 4-0 in conference.
The Jayhawks bring top-three prospect Ben McLemore to Bramlage to face a lineup full of gritty players like Rodney McGruder, and Bill Self gets the chance to face Bruce Weber, his replacement at Illinois.
Granted, the Jayhawks are 22-2 in K-State's Bramlage Coliseum and the vitriol in the Kansas sports community doesn't match that of Kansas vs. Missouri, but K-State is still a team Kansas fans groan at the thought of losing to.
Missouri hatred is hard to overcome, but Tuesday's game marks an opportunity for the Sunflower Showdown.
K-State lost Frank Martin to South Carolina, bringing in Weber. The two's personal rivalry dates back to Weber's mock funeral services as a response to Self leaving the Illinois program.
Edited by Taylor Lewis
The Sunflower Showdown isn't likely to lose its Midwestern family feel anytime soon, but there's never been a better chance for the rivalry to take a more intense path.
The newfound coaching rivalry within the Sunflower Showdow is unlikely to publicly boil over, but the history adds more intrigue to the matchup.
That level of intensity doesn't exist in the Sunflower Showdown. You're more likely to hear a coach laud K-State than take Fambrough's approach. Now, however, a few things have changed.
To be honest, it's an incredibly one-sided rivalry, with K-State dominating football in recent years and Kansas dominating basketball, but with the chaotic spiral of conference realignment, times have changed. The door is open to a shift in the intensity of the rivalry.
Missouri's a different story. Late Kansas football coach Don Fambrough said it best: "We're the good people, they're the bad people. That's the best way I know to explain it. I don't like their people. I don't like their players. I don't like a damn thing about 'em."
Think back to your high school days. Everyone had that school. The school across town, maybe the small town down the highway that you loved to beat in every imaginable sport. Root canals, spring cleaning and the DMV ranked slightly above losing to them, but you were still friends with a few people from that school across town.
That similar sibling rivalry feel has permeated the Sunflower Showdown for years.

Bramlage Coliseum.
From 1988 until 2008, the Jayhawks took the 88-mile drive down I-70 and returned with a victory against the in-state rival.
For a long time, this was "Alen Fieldhouse West" for Kansas fans, and for good reason.
However, since Kansas State's first victory inside the arena against Kansas on Jan. 30, 2008, it's been a frezzed battle between the two schools.

Now, the next chapter in this renewed rivalry takes shape today as No. 3 Kansas plays No. 11 K-State at 7 p.m. in Manhattan.
For senior guard Travis Reelford, one his best memories in "The Octagon of Doom" was former guard Sherron Collins' strong performance down the stretch on Jan. 30, 2010.
"He just put the team on his back," Releford said.
Collins dropped an off-balance layup over Wally Judge with 9.2 seconds left in overtime to propel the Jayhawks over the Wildcats.
That year, Releford was a spectator after being redshirted earlier in the year.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
But this year, he's got a different assignment: guarding Rodney McGruder, one of the hottest players in the Big 12.
On Monday, McGruder picked up his fourth Big 12 Player of the Week award of the season. He's also averaging 19.5 points per game during the Wildcats' eight-game winning streak.
A steadily improving player in his time with K-State, McGruder is now the key piece for its run to the top of the conference standings.

forward because we don't have the Tigers around, and they don't have the Tigers around," Self said.
In those two games, McLemore averaged 16.5 points and seven rebounds while shooting 56.5 percent from the field. On top of that, he also made 57 percent of his three-pointers.
"I think this will turn a little bit to become more heated as we move
Along with putting this as the central rivalry for the Jayhawks moving forward, this contest is also a matchup of former Illinois coaches.
And with his unruffled demeanor in many pressure situations this season, he sees this trip to Manhattan as another game to prove himself and his teammates.

For Kansas coach Bill Self, it's always been a rivalry, but he feels it will change in the near future.
The other storyline for this game — other than the matchup of two of the premier players in the conference — is the transition to K-State being Kansas' main rival after Missouri's departure to the Southeastern conference.

took the Kansas job in 2003. Weber was fired last March from the Fighting Illini.
While in Champaign, Ill., Weber attempted to move past Self's departure from Illinois. At one point, he even dressed in
black and told the team he was going to throw a funeral for Self after all the comparisons surrounding the two coaches.
At this point, none of that matters to Self. He describes his relationship with Weber as "cordial and fine," having no issues with him.
"I don't know if you can really take over a job and not, at some point and time, say something that appears to be controversial to the previous staff," Self said. "I know I probably did it with Roy. That stuff happens."
Ever since Weber replaced KState's former coach Frank Martin, he's done an admirable job getting the Wildcats high in the polls and in a position to capture the top spot in the Big 12.
"I see a lot of similarities, not so much in the X's and O's standpoint, but in what's most important in how hard you compete and how you play," Self said when asked about comparing Martin and Weber.
But even with all the preparation coaches can do before a game and connecting the dots of a 10-year coaching carousel, it still comes down to players and, of course, the raucous atmosphere.
That's why the Jayhawks are preparing for Bramlage Coliseum the best way they know how: relying on the experience of one of their

"Every game in the Big 12 is big," senior guard Monica Engelman said. "Especially for us trying to knock off this losing streak."
for a match up on Wednesday at 7 p.m. against another struggling Big 12 team: Texas.
The Longhorns have lost eight straight games and are 0-6 in Big 12 games. Texas is one of three teams that sit behind Kansas in the standings. Both teams will be hungry to put an end to their losing streak.
Texas may not have any wins against Big 12 teams, but it has managed to lead the league in rebounds per game. A huge portion of those rebounds come from two of the teams' starters, sophomore Nneka Enemkpali and freshman Imani M McGee-Stafford. Enemkpali averages 9.8 rebounds per game while McGee-Stafford averages 8.6 rebounds per game.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson thinks highly of Texas and the stamina its team has.
"That's a team that has tremendous energy, tremendous toughness, a team that will challenge us," Henrickson said. "We've got to be able to answer that challenge from a toughness and energy standpoint."
Energy has been a struggle for Kansas at the start of its previous games. In all of the last four games, the Jayhawks have allowed opponents to get early leads. Against West Virginia, Henrickson's team was able to make the comeback and earn a victory, but in the next three games, it could not.
"We have to start off better," senior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We've got to just come out and play ready."
There has also been a lack of toughness recently from the Jayhawks.
The reason for Kansas' struggles early in their games seemed obvious to Henrickson.
"Everybody plays better with confidence." Henrickson said. "Our lack of toughness and being aggressive has allowed people to be comfortable and confident."
In the team's last game against Texas Tech, leading scorers senior forward Carolyn Davis and Goodrich combined for just 18 points in 66 minutes. The Jayhawks have counted on the production of those two players for most of the season. There were some bright spots for Henrickson in that game.
"We did a lot of really good things," Henrickson said. "I thought Chelsea, Monica and Natalia, those three kids, made plays."
Kansas will need to make a few more plays in future Big 12 games, but it knows that a win against Texas is important on Wednesday.

University, city to build rec center
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Construction is underway on a new athletics facility that will feature a track and field, softball and soccer facilities, and recreation center. The venue, named Rock Chalk Park, will be located in northwest Lawrence.
The University teamed up with the City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department for the project. The City Commission approved the KU portion of the park in a Jan. 8 meeting, and grading and groundwork are moving forward. However, the city has not yet approved the plan for the new recreation center. Ernie Shaw, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said there is a possibility it could be approved in the Feb. 19 meeting.
Both Shaw and Kevin Loos, vice chair of the Parks and Recreation Department advisory board, said
this project has been in the works for well over a decade. Shaw said the lack of recreation facilities on the west side of town has been a hindrance for the city and the residents living in the area.
"It will give us a lot more opportunity for programming and give the people in the west an actual facility in their neighborhood. That's our number one goal: to meet the needs of our citizens," Shaw said. "It's also an opportunity to host outside and regional tournaments and bring dollars into the city."
Loos, who has been on the board for six years, said the recreation center has been a discussion since his first day, but that KU has helped push the process along by bringing in more support, as well as financial assistance.

Sandwiched between a' float representing the state of Florida and Marine personnel, the trumpet ensemble finally began marching the 1.3 mile parade at 4:45 p.m.

Despite the parade being delayed until later in the day; the University's Trumpet Ensemble played an arrangement of Kansas's state song "Home on the Range" for approximately 800,000 people who braved the cold.
With the parade finished, the ensemble packed, went out for dinner and re-boarded the bus to return home yesterday.
Assistant Director of Bands Sharon Toulouse, who has experience in the D.C. area, was overjoyed when Leisring invited her to join the Ensemble for the D.C. trip.
"It's important to know how much support the Trumpet Ensemble got from the school, the state and people from all over who saw the opportunity." Toulouse said. "We've very grateful and thankful for allowing this opportunity to happen."
Director Leisring said the quality of students and the quality of education in the School of Music has made the opportunity such a success.

buck," Loos said of partnering with the University. "The developer has offered financing for less for everybody, including the city."
According to a press release issued by KU Athletics, the track and football stadium will be able to seat up to 10,000 people, the softball stadium 1,500 and the soccer stadium 2,500. The total cost will be $39 million, spread out over 30 years instead of an estimated $50 million, thanks to the partnership with the KU Endowment Association and Thomas and Dru Fritzel of Bliss Sports.
"By partnering and coming together, we can build in one location and save some on that infrastructure cost," Shaw said. "We're being able to share resources without duplicating in separate locations."
Loos thinks the project will benefit the University as well as the entire city by drawing in tourists for KU events and youth athletic tournaments, and in turn, more revenue from retail.
"We're continuing to develop a better relationship between KU and the city," Loos said. "It's really been driven not only from a growth standpoint but also an economic standpoint, and bringing more into the city."
Although the two projects are separate, Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger shares Loos's belief in the joint effort bringing prosperity to Lawrence.

"If all the facilities are together
er, it will be a more vibrant park and it will be more of an economic engine for Lawrence," Zenger said.
Zenger's intention in building the park is to bring the track and field, soccer and softball facilities up to par not only with those in the Big 12, but with universities nationwide.
"Now more than ever, you have to stay at a certain level, not just with the competitiveness of your teams, but your facilities," he said.
By increasing the prestige of the arenas and changing the game day atmosphere, having state-of-the-art facilities will also aid in competing for recruits. Women's soccer coach Mark Francis said
the impact the new stadium will have on recruiting would most likely be the biggest difference.
"It's going to be like night and day. It will put us on an even playing field with the rest of the conference from a facilities standpoint," he said.
Francis said every athletic director in his 14 years of coaching at the University has told him that soccer would receive a new facility.
"I'm grateful to them that they've made it happen and it's a reality now," Francis said. "That's very reassuring and I'm appreciative."

A new iPhone application will allow students to the programming schedule for KJHK. IT Director Marc Schroder developed the app last semester. It will also stream broadcasts, call the station for requests and access articles on KJHK.org.
Student-run radio station unveils mobile application
HANNAH SWANK

KJHK is giving a new meaning to "easy listening." The nationally acclaimed station has developed a new mobile application that allows listeners to interact with DJs more effectively via their smartphones.
Stilwell junior Marc Schroeder, KJHK's IT Director, spent the fall semester developing an iPhone app that provides KJHK media in an accessible, convenient mobile format.
"I'm a DJ, writer and frequent surfer of KJHK content, so I am excited to connect people to KJHK's programming and media in that new context," Schroeder said.
With the app, users can stream live broadcasts, view the programming schedule, call the station to submit song requests without having to look up the phone number and access articles posted on the
"We wanted to connect people to the articles written on KJIK," Schroeder said. "In the last few semesters, I have seen a lot more DJs writing more articles on the music they are passionate about, as well as several new sports podcasts that seem to have pretty vibrant followings."
KJHK website.
Schroeder rearranged his class schedule during the fall 2012 semester in order to schedule time for development. The weekly equivalent of time he spent working, he estimated, was approximately the time spent for a five credit hour course.
To introduce the app, KJHK will host a launch party today from noon to 2 p.m. in Media Crossroads on level 4 of the Kansas Union. The event will debut the promotional video made for the app, and Schroeder will present in a "Meet
the Creator" segment. Students will also be able to directly download the app to mobile devices at the event.
Users can download the app free of charge to iOS 6 enabled devices through the App Store by searching "KIHK."
Schroeder has been the IT Director for KJHK since January 2011. He has completed projects such as aiding in redesigning the station's website that launched last year, and this is the first iPhone app he has created.
"I think making non-commercial, forward programming easily accessible on their mobile device is something a lot of our listeners, present and future, will see the value of" Schroeder said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — A fight between two people erupted in gunfire Tuesday at a Houston-area community college, catching a maintenance man in the crossfire and leaving students and others cowering in classrooms.
The shooting happened outside between an academic building and the library where Luis Resendiz, 22, was studying on the second floor. An employee called police and then hered the 30 to 40 people in the library into a small room and told them to crouch down, he said.
No one was killed, but the volley of gunshots heard just before 1 p.m. sparked fear of another campus massacre just more than a month after 26 people were killed at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"To stay where I was wasn't an option," said Cohn, who fled to a building that houses computers and study areas. All the students eventually were evacuated.
Keisha Cohn, 27, was in a building about 50 feet away and began running as soon as she heard the shots.
Authorities offered no details about what led to the fight. One of the people involved had a student
"The two people that I took care of had just minor injuries," he told KHOU-TV. "One gentleman had a gunshot to the knee and the (other) actually had an entry wound to the lower buttocks area."
Several school districts in Texas have either implemented or are considering a plan to allow faculty to carry guns on campus. While guns are not allowed on college campuses, the Texas Legislature this year may debate a bill that would allow them.

Richard Carpenter, chancellor of the Lone Star College System, said the campus is a gun-free zone that "has been safe for 40 years."
Mark Zaragosa said he had just come out of an EMT class when he saw two people who were injured and stopped to help them.
"We think it's still safe," he added.

TV a possible relationship deterrent
I spilled coffee all down my leg. It looks like I peed. It's my first class of the semester, and it looks like I peed my pants.
With the New Year upon us, an onslaught of new shows coupled with the dawn of awards season is happening now. I've hardly ever been one for following television shows, but despite my skepticism that "The Carrie Diaries" would be too young for me, my undying love for "Sex and the City" resulted in my waiting for the beginning of the series, which premiered Jan. 14 on the CW.
In the midst of all of the new winter shows beginning, however, experts like psychologist and sexologist Serenella Salomoni have been preaching in recent years that couples who spend a significant amount of time together watching TV — namely by having one in the bedroom — tend to experience a decreased sex life, which can make for a boring, monotonous, and predictable relationship.
And when a good night in a relationship is more frequently
characterized by Doritos Locos tacos and channel surfing together between the latest "South Park" and reruns of "Say Yes to the Dress" than making some kind of strengthening connection with your significant other, months of the behavior can send a relationship into a downward spiral.
In fact, according to Men's Health Magazine, Italian researchers have proven that having a TV in the bedroom on average cuts the number of times a couple has sex in one month by a staggering half. Despite the effect on relationships that TVs can have, however, the research shows that 64 percent of couples continue to have a set in their bedrooms.
Valuing TV over sex may seem like a problem for 50-somethings plus, but the wear and tear of the day can tire us out even as students. And, as the semester slowly progresses and midterms then finals approach us, the phenomenon will

likely become more common for couples here at the University.
No matter how much emphasis couples admit that sex has in their relationships, intimacy, at least on some level, is important for all committed partners, especially for those who are in it for the long haul. This particular factor is important for even the most conservative of us.
Totally banishing our TVs from our bedrooms may not be a desirable or realistic option, especially for those of us who don't live with our significant others. Even for me, I wouldn't want to give up my
However, a feasible option for us to meet halfway with the issue is to create our own rituals when we relax with our partners at night, sleep together, or, uh, whatever. If we start our own non-TV traditions, that can help us reconnect and therefore keep our relationships personal and our sex lives afloat.
ritual of relaxing with "Sex and the City" by my lonesome after my core workout because I'm interested in keeping my relationship with my boyfriend alive.
And other couples can do the same. They should create their own traditions sans screens (perhaps with the exception of an e-reader) because of their effect on connecting partners and even rekindling a fire that could otherwise be extinguished in only a matter of time.
For example, even when we're tired, my boyfriend and I have a tradition of me reading novels to him. Watching TV is easy, but we connect better over novels like "The Great Gatsby" and "White Girl Problems." He says he likes the "white noise" of my reading, and I like sharing my passion for literature with him. It's more old-fashioned than renting from Redbox, but it works for us.
In the end, a TV seems like an unlikely downer, but it can wreak serious havoc on healthy relationships that should be both personal and unique for each partner involved.
Relationships drown in a sea of problems that plague us every day, but we can at least find solace in the fact that this particular couple killer is solved as easily as turning a TV off to turn your sex life back on.

MEDIA
Magazine leads teens astray
I like o think of myself as somone who keeps abreast of the latest trends, and a big part of that is reading publications that tap into the modern zeitgeist. But, because I can't find any of those in a house where about 95 percent of the incoming magazines are addressed to my kid sisters, I'm stuck getting my information on how to stay hip from the teen fashion magazine "Seventeen" instead, filtered through pages of ads for eyeliner and overpriced purses. Herewith, some of the nuggets of cultural wisdom I've gleaned from "Seventeen" over the last few weeks:
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
CHARITY
Apparently, it's cool to be charitable these days, or at least to think you're being charitable: there's a page labeled "Seventeen Gives Back" that urges readers to donate their used jeans at their local Aeropostale store, allegedly to "boost a home-less teen's confidence." But, as confidence doesn't mean much when you're starving to death, I'm pretty sure that most of the homeless people who get these will, out of necessity, sew them into nice little tents or cook them up in a stew instead.
Here's an idea, Aeropostale: instead of donating the old jeans, put new tags on them, sell them with the rest of your stock as "destroyed denim," and donate the proceeds to a food pantry. If you go with this plan,
nobody will be the wiser; only the homeless people will be able to tell the difference!
RELATIONSHIP ADVICE
All you guys interested in finding a girl friend, listen up: the staff of "Seventeen" has cooked up a handy chart called "Is your guy being cute or creepy?" to help ladies identify deviated perverts like yourselves. Apparently, asking a girl to play Jenga at a party is cool, but asking her to play Twister at a party ain't kosher. Clearly I've been going about this "picking up chicks" thing all wrong! Next party I go to, I'm gonna smuggle in a Jenga set under my trenchcoat and make up some hip pickup lines to match (i.e. "Hey, baby, you wanna pull on my blocks?").
The guide also says that it's okay for a guy to kiss you good-night, but when "he bites you good night," things are crossing over into iffy territory. That strikes me as weird. After all, if there's one thing I learned from watching "Twilight," it's that most teenage girls consider biting a sweet, romantic gesture.
CELEBRITIES
A two-page spread advertises "17 Kisses You Need to Try Now!" Included is a list of the favorite kissing techniques of several minor celebrities, including someone named Tyler Posey, who says, "I love it when my girlfriend gives me a light, soft bite right on the lips." Oh, so biting is okay when girls do it to guys? I see how it is, "Seventeen." I see how it is.
MEN
The cover of the magazine says you can find a "Hot Guy Poster" inside. It sounds like one of those generic brands you buy at the grocery store when you're strapped for cash—little white cans with "GREEN BEANS" hovering in blue block letters above an unflattering photo. While I normally don't feel like I'm qualified to judge guys' hotness, I feel pretty confident in saying these are store-brand dudes: the first word that comes to mind when I look at most of them is "lumpy," and there's even the little block letters that say "CHRIS" or "DAN" or "JOE." Then again, maybe these are just the guys that they're going to donate to the homeless teens who can't afford men with chiseled, rippling abdominals. I have no idea.

TELEVISION
'Family Guy' or The Simpsons'
There are so many animated sitcoms currently airing on television today. You can turn on Cartoon Network for some random comedy and terrible animation graphics, or you can tune into Fox on Sundays for all new episodes of "The Cleveland Show," "Family Guy," and "The Simpsons." But which animated television sitcom is better, "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy?" Each series have been around for years and, by the looks of it, don't seem to be slowing anytime soon. There are many similarities and differences between these shows, but to me "Family Guy" stands on top of "The Simpsons" for many reasons.
The two series are both about a dysfunctional family with an alcohol-addicted father who would rather drink and hang with his buddies than take care of his family.
Look at "The Simpsons," Homer is an overweight alcoholic father who has an older son and an older daughter both who tend to fight with each other. Marge is often the one taking care of the family. Then there is Lisa the baby.
It is pretty similar for Family Guy. Peter is also an overweight alcoholic father who has both an older son and daughter just like Homer. But then there is Stewie who is an evil baby, unlike Lisa.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
But now onto why "Family Guy" is the better comedy. Both sitcoms use very different types of animation. As for the Simpsons, the animation of the human characters uses yellow for skin color and is inferior to "Family Guys'" animation. The type of animation they use is called digital ink and paint. "Family Guy" uses a much better type of animation and the dialogue is simultaneous with the mouths of the characters on the screen. It is better to watch a cartoon when the animation looks life-like because it gives us a sense of reality while watching.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
Also the jokes and the way they
are used in "Family Guy" is much more clever and original than "The Simpsons." For example, "Family Guy" uses cutaways or flashbacks that imitate current events, famous cultural or cultural influences. Although the humor is extremely politically incorrect, it catches the attention of the sitcom's target audience, which is clearly adult humor. Also the humorous jokes about everyday society that "Family Guy" uses is a great way to catch the attention because it makes the show more relatable and this is what we like to see when we watch TV. "The Simpsons" humor covers much of the same, but often tell jokes on the walls in the background, or newspapers and it is not easily recognizable. This is why "Family Guy" works better as a sitcom.
Even though "Family Guy" is in season 11 and "The Simpsons" is on 24, the creators of "Family Guy" have had much more successful careers. Seth McFarlane has created not only "Family Guy," but also "American Dad!" "The Cleveland Show," and the film staring the teddy bear "Ted." This is how we know that Seth McFarlane is a liked more by the public because he was able to make more hit shows while also keeping up the success of "Family Guy."
So trust me when I say this, and don't let the number of seasons fool you. "Family Guy" is the better show.

Prank callers target Chris Brown other celebrities in growing trend
A caller who contacted police shortly before 5 p.m. told them of a domestic violence situation and said he wasn't sure whether
LOS ANGELES-A fake report of domestic violence drew Los Angeles police to singer Chris Brown's home Monday, authorities said, the latest in a series of "swatting" incidents targeting celebrities.
Girl 1: "Does he wear boxers or briefs?"

the singer's mother had been shot, authorites said.
When officers arrived, only members of Brown's staff were at the home—the singer was not, police said. His parents arrived shortly after the police, who had already searched the home.
The incident was the latest in a string of recent "swatting" incidents targeting the homes of Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher.
The incidents, a fast-growing phenomenon, are started by anonymous mischief-makers who alert police to a bogus crime, prompting a tactical response—sometimes by SWAT officers—that involves a high-risk search for phantom assailants.
A 12-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the reports involving Bieber and Kutcher.

Trampled by Turtles, a bluegrass band from Duluth, Minn., will perform tonight at the Granada. This year, the band celebrates its 10-year anniversary.
Trampled by Turtles set to play tonight at the Granada
LYNDSEY HAVENS
lhavens@kansan.com
The quick-picking bluegrass band, Trampled by Turtles, will perform at the Granada tonight. The group consists of Duluth, Minn. natives Dave Simonett (guitar), Tim Saxhaug (bass), Dave Carroll (banjo), Erik Berry (mandolin) and Ryan Young (fiddle).
The group's title may seem humorous, but when asked where it came from, Berry said, "I wish there was a great story but there isn't, we were just brainstorming and it was hated the least."
This year marks the band's 10th anniversary, and in that time they have gained a strong fan following.
"It's pretty crazy. Outside of my parents and sister I haven't been in a relationship with anything for ten years," Berry said. "It's mind blowing, but it makes sense because it has always felt natural, easy and unforced. There's really been no reason why this shouldn't have kept going." In celebration, the band will perform in April and May at small
Minnesota venues to bring homage to their state.
The band's latest album, "Stars and Satellites," was released last April and since then they have kept busy with touring, playing festivals and appearing on late night television.
"We've had a really busy touring year," said Berry. "We've had a lot of high points, but it was a lot of work."
Considering that the group has played at Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, to name a few—in addition to performing on David Letterman and Conan—down time has been scarce.
Although the group is focusing on promoting its album, Berry said that, "next year we will have more time off and more down time, and then we will start to focus on the future. To give ourselves the mental head space to do so, we need to take that break."
The show starts at 8 p.m. and is open to all ages. Tickets are $22.

LOS ANGELES — Fans who marveled at Beyonce's prowess when she ripped out her in-earmonitor during Monday's national anthem at President Obama's inauguration might prepare to be disappointed.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Suspicious arise that Beyonce, Marine Corps Band used pre-recorded tracks
POLITICS
WASHINGTON - A woman singing at the U.S. Capitol stands before a man and another man, all raising their hands over their hearts. The event is the Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2013.
Suspicions that the anthem performed by Beyonce and the U.S. Marine Corps Band used pre-recorded backing tracks—as documented by Los Angeles Times reporters on hand for the inauguration, among others—were confirmed when Marine Corps band
Beyonce performs the National Anthem at the inauguration ceremonies at the U.S. Capitol Monday. Fans and spectators alike were suspicious of its authenticity.
Will fans be slightly let down if the Beyonce they heard wasn't the singer "flying blind" and nailing the anthem on our nation's most hallowed ground? Given the gravity and audience of the event, it would make sense to take all measures to ensure quality musical accompaniment, so as not to let mistakes distract from the event.
Maybe fans should be happy knowing that she did give a ravishing performance of our national anthem—even if it was just in a studio, a few days ago.
RENO, Nev. — Long before Hostess Brands' plan to shut down made Twinkies the rage, Nancy Peppin found something special about the cream-filled snack cakes.
There's long precedent for using prerecorded music at inaugurals, due to the District of Columbia's tendency to be frigid in winter months, making it difficult for brass- and drum-heavy military bands to perform. Yo-Yo Ma used a similar tactic during his performance at Obama's last inaugural, as the temperatures made his cello difficult to play in tune.
spokeswoman told the Times of London that Beyonce made a last-minute decision to use pre-recorded music for her anthem performance.
"We did prerecord it and it was Beyonce's decision at the last minute to go with the prerecorded version," the spokeswoman told British paper. "We prerecorded all music as a matter of course and have done since time immemorial," she said. "This is our 54th inauguration ... There is no question of there not being any music—it's not because the performer cannot do it."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's not yet clear if Beyonce was singing live to a prerecorded vocal track, or if she was lip-syncing entirely (we've reached out to reps for both the Marine Corps band and Beyonce for clarification).
Artist features Twinkies in paintings
No, she doesn't have a sweet tooth for them.
The prolific Reno artist says she was first influenced to focus on Twinkies in 1975 by Andy Warhol, who demonstrated that even a Campbell's soup can could be an object of art.
But she has featured Twinkies in hundreds of pieces of quirky, satirical artwork because of an obsession with what she calls the "ultimate American food icon."
This undated image shows artist Nancy Peppin's "The Last Snack," modeled after Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper," one of the dozens of pieces of art Nancy Peppin has created over the years using Twinkies and other Hostess products.
"He showed you a new way of looking at a familiar object," said Peppin, who has sold and exhibited her artwork. "That's what I'm doing with Twinkies. I'm having
people look at Twinkies in a brand new way and in an entertaining way"
Shortly after Hostess Brands Inc. announced plans to go out of business last year, Peppin was among those who joined the rush to stores to fill shopping carts with boxes of the spongy cakes.
"I needed art supplies," said Peppin, who uses Twinkies and their packaging to create some of her pieces. She also features renderings of the snack cakes in watercolor paintings, mixed media, prints and artwork.
Her works include her "Twinkies in history series," which portrays how scientists such as John James Audubon, Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci would have sketched and written about Twinkies in journals or books.
Peppin, an Oakland, Calif.
native who earned a bachelor's
degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1966, conducted extensive research to make the series seem as authentic as possible.
The artwork reflects the offbeat sense of humor of a woman who by day creates special effects animation for Reno-based International Game Technology, one of the world's largest slot machine makers.
Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., said he finds Peppin's artwork — and use of Twinkies as a metaphor to explore various subjects — clever, humorous and imaginative.
"In some ways, she takes this kind of silly art and treats it as a cultural artifact and imagines it as a subject of scientific studies," he said. "She's an excellent illustrator and the way she pulls these (works) together is amazing."

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCI
The Kansas Women's basketball team begins a three game homestand against the Texas Longhorns tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks return to their homecourt after losing three straight against Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas Tech. The Jayhawks struggled down the stretch in the 70-63 loss to the Red Raiders.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Angela Goodrich, point guard
Last week in Lubbock, the Jayhawks' senior guard struggled from the field shooting 3-15 from the field and 1-5 from beyond the arc. Goodrich was recently selected to the John R. Wooden award top-20 watch list. For the Jayhawks offense to rebound, Goodrich needs to have a big game.
M. SHANE MORRIS

QUESTION MARK
Can the Jayhawks get back to their brand of basketball and snap the losing streak?
Over the past three games, the Jayhawks have struggled to finish games. The Jayhawks dropped two games on the road and one at home against the top-ranked Baylor Bears. After the tough stretch, the Jayhawks have to get back to playing inside-out basketball in the homestand.

QUESTION MARK

Goodrich makes Wooden Award watch list
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Senior point guard Angel Goodrich continues to gain recognition as one of the nation's top
The John R. Wooden Award is given to the top basketball player in the
players. Now, she is being mentioned on the top 20 John R. Wooden Watch List.
country on both the men's and women's side of the court.
Goodrich
Goodrich is known for not liking personal awards and is the first to give credit to her teammates, but even she couldn't help but flash a smile and recognize what it means to be named as a top-20 player.
"It's great, it's an honor. A lot of players in the country try to work up to that." Goodrich said.
Goodrich is averaging 6.5 assists per game, which ranks second in the Big 12 and 12th in the NCAA. Last season, Goodrich led
the nation in assists with 7.4 per game. Also, she is second on the Jayhawks, averaging 13.4 points per game. She also leads the squad with 49 steals.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson said she has known for a long while that Goodrich would be a talented player while wearing Kansas across her chest.
"I've felt that she's played at that level and it's nice for her to be recognized. I've never taken for granted anything she could do and realized a long time ago that she was really special," Henrickson said.
Giving it all is exactly what Goodrich has been able to do while at Kansas. She has fought through two knee injuries, which occurred during her first two years in Lawrence. However, she looks at everything that surrounds her now and can say one word to sum it all up: blessed.
Goodrich said being mentioned among the nation's best has been her ambition since she was young, but she never really thought she would make it.
"No, I didn't think it was going to happen. But you want to set high aspirations for yourself and all you can do is try and give it your all," she said.
"I didn't think I would make it this far, especially after the first two injuries and doubling myself," Goodrich said. "But just being
able to be blessed to be on the court and play everyday"
Among the 20 finalists for the award are Baylor forward Brittney Griner, Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggans, Connecticut forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Stanford forward Chiney Ogwumike.
Being in that company, Henrickson said it will only add to what Goodrich wants to do and accomplish throughout the remainder of the season.
"She's part of an elite level and she should be awfully excited and proud," Henrickson said. "It'll be fuel for her to play at an even higher level."
But Goodrich wouldn't be the same player everyone knows if she didn't try to let the spotlight shine on everyone else and not just on her number three jersey.
"Awards aren't a big thing for me. I just like to enjoy and play the
game and be with my teammates," Goodrich said. "I give thanks to my teammates because they're the ones who helped me get here and pushed me every single day. I just want to thank them for all the support and all the honor."

Bonds, Clemens, other standouts deserve recognition
Watching baseball on television has truly never been better. Now with HD LED
televisions, we can see the green blades of grass as if we are holding them in our own hand. However, one aspect of the game these TVs do not clearly show fans are the morals and values of the players we admire. Although the steroid era in baseball was a dark time for the game's history, baseball writers recently chose to wrongfully not elect any players to this year's Hall of Fame.
If you think about why some of the best players in history are not going to the Hall of Fame this year, it is because of their ties to steroids, even though many of them have never been proven of any steroid use throughout their careers. What is worse is that for only

the second time in the past 43 years, the Baseball Writers' Association of America did not invite a single player to Cooperstown.
In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, Michael Weiner, the executive director of the players' union, said the situation is, "Unfortunate, if not sad. The Hall should include the best players
to have ever played the game. To ignore the historic accomplishments of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, for example is hard to justify."
Many people forget that Cooperstown is in fact a museum. A museum with rich history. A museum where the average person can walk in and learn about America's pastime, both the good and bad. I visited the website for the Hall of Fame and looked up the rules. Nowwhere was I able to find anything that states a player is prohibited from being elected due to steroid use.
KU
The great thing about America is that we are willing to give second chances to the ones we love after they do something wrong. When Tiger Woods committed adultery, we forgive him. He is still playing golf, though he has not won a major since. After Michael Vick
served time in jail for his dog fighting involvement, we forgive him and let him back in the NFL, although he is not the same player he used to be. So even though the accused baseball players were not elected to the Hall of Fame this year, the BBWAA should give the accused a second chance when they appear on the ballot for next year.

Paterno supporters commemorate one-year anniversary of his death

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Penn State students Dan Hamm, left, a freshman from Williamsport, Pa., and Nick Bucci, a freshman from Dayton, Md., visit the grave of former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno in State College, Pa. Supporters of Paterno are marking the 1-year anniversary of his death with a candlelight tilt Tuesday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Flowers and mementos left by supportors adorned Joe Paterno's gravesite Tuesday, a year after the longtime Penn State coach's death, while at the spot where a bronze statue of him used to stand, a makeshift sign of cardboard flapped in a cold wind.
"Joseph Paterno. Always remembered. Always a legend," read the sign outside Beaver Stadium and attached to a tree with white wire.
The Hall of Fame coach died of lung cancer Jan. 22, 2012, at age 85. Besides the bouquets and signs, supporters also planned to mark the anniversary of his death with a candlelight vigil at a downtown State College mural that includes a depiction of Paterno.
He died more than two months after being fired in the frantic days following the arrest of former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky on child molestation charges in November 2011. His legacy remains a sensitive topic for groups of alumni, former players and local residents.
A year ago, the campus was flooded with mourners. Commemorations were much smaller on a frigid Tuesday with temperatures in the teens.
A family spokesman has said the Paternos would not take part in public gatherings Tuesday.
Supporters like Dan Hamm, a freshman from Williamsport, have said
Paterno's 46-year career as a whole should be taken into consideration, including the longtime coach's focus on academics.
"We wanted to pay our respects. We wanted to celebrate who he was as a person." Hamm said after visiting Paterno's grave at a State College cemetery on a blustery afternoon.
Then, nodding his head in the direction of Paterno's adorned gravesite, Hamm said, "You can see here that Joe Paterno was Penn State, and Penn State will always be Joe Paterno."
Former FBI director Louis Freeh released findings July 12 in the school's internal investigation of the scandal. Paterno's reputation was tarnished after Freeh accused the coach and three former school administrators of covering up allegations against Sandusky.
The retired defensive coordinator has been sentenced to at least 30 years in prison after being convicted of 45 criminal counts. Prosecutors said allegations occurred off and on campus, including the football facility.
On July 22, Penn State removed Paterno's statue, which had been a gathering point for mourners last January. The next day, the NCAA reacted with uncharacteristic swiftness in levying strict sanctions including a four-year bowl ban, strict scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine.
Paterno was also stripped of 111 vic
tories, meaning he no longer held the major college record of 409 career wins.
Paterno's family and the three administrators have vehemently denied Freeh's allegations, along with denying suspicions they took part in a cover-up. Also, Paterno's family has been planning what a spokesman has called a comprehensive response to Freeh's findings.
But on Tuesday, the family was expected to remain in privacy. A delivery man dropped off flowers at the Paternos modest ranch home in the afternoon, walking past a sign staked to the snow-covered lawn.
The sign read in part, "Thank you Joel! Thank you Sue!", referring to Paterno's widow. "RIP JoePae ... 409 forever." Another sign posted near Paterno's grave read "Joe Paterno. Penn State's Spirit in the Sky."
Hamm's friend, fellow freshman Nick Bucci, said he felt his school handled the scandal well overall, given the extent of the fallout, with some exceptions.
At some point, Bucci said, the school should honor Paterno. He referred to one suggestion that dated back years before Paterno's death, of naming the field at the stadium after the coach.
But Bucci advocated for perspective.

He inter advocated for perspective. "A day like today, those emotions might be high," said Bucci, of Dayton, Md. "I don't think now is the time to do it. I think you have to wait."

And with his struggle on offense, especially from three-point range, that wasn't his main priority.
MANHATTAN—Travis
Relefond already had plenty on his
plate guarding Rodney McGruder
in the Sunflower Showdown on
Tuesday.
Turns out the senior guard from Kansas City, Mo., found his rhythm with two early 3-pointers that helped him lead Kansas to its 59-55 win over K-State.
"I thought Trav played unbelievable," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "One of the better games he's played for us."
However, even with a team-high of 12 points. Releford's main focus remained McGruder, who he held to only two points in the opening 20 minutes of the game.
"The first half I thought I did real well making him uncomfortable and not letting him get easy looks," Releford said.
McGruder did warm up in the second half, finishing with 13 points. It was, however, still under his season average of 15.5 points.
"Trav did a tremendous job and he definitely did what he needed to do for us to win the game," sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe said.
Tharpe calmly walked to the free throw line and nailed both of his free throws, extending the Jayhawks lead to 58-53 and out of reach of the Wildcats.
Tharpe also had a big moment during the game of his own. With 22.6 seconds left in the game.
"I just focused and knocked them down," Tharpe said.
Tharpe has become a major player off the bench the past few games and appears to have moved into an established role in the
game.
He finished the game with six points and two assists.
One of the major factors for the Jayhawks was the physical play inside by both senior center Jeff Withey and senior forward Kevin Young.
At seven feet tall, Withey always draws a lot of attention, but last night he faced a pair of tough players in the Wildcats' sophomore Thomas Gipson and senior Jordan Henriquez.
More than anything Withey was just happy for a good win after a difficult battle against the in-state rival.
Young also managed to make a pivotal play as he dumped in a layup before the half, extending Kansas' lead to 31-27.
Although Withe managed to get his seventh double-double of the season (11 points and 10 rebounds), it was the first game this season he did not record a block.
"It was definitely a physical game, that's how the Big 12 is, everywhere you go you get elbows in the back," Withey said. "I'm used to it and Kevin's used to it."
"Those are plays that end up being the difference in winning and not winning." Self said.
More importantly this game made it the 20th win for Bill Self and his players since he arrived in Lawrence in 2003.
But this game means a lot to a senior who will never soak up a big-time Big 12 road win after this season.
"I haven't been here that long, but I've inherited the rivalry just like any other player that comes through these doors," Young said. "You just take a lot of pride in it."

COMMENTARY Johnson, Tharpe a dynamic duo
Johnson finished 1-11 against Texas, with most of those misses being layups or short jumpers after aggressive drives to the lane. But he hit his first layup in Manhattan before four minutes had elapsed.
Kansas coach Bill Self employed a four-guard lineup that featured both Johnson and sophomore point guard Naadir Tharpe to help Kansas steal a victory at Texas on Saturday. He quickly trolled out his two point guards onto the court as part of his three-guard lineup at Kansas State Tuesday night.
And Johnson looked like his old self, the one that shot—and hit those shots—with confidence.
Once again Kansas had to battle through a prizefight to stay undefeated in Big 12 play.
By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
Grabbing its 23rd victory in 25 tries at Bramlage Coliseum, the nine-time defending champion proved why Kansas is Kansas and Kansas State is still Kansas State. And with an unexpected but welcome heavyweight in its corner, the lajhayws subjected Wildcat fans to their own dose of doom.
After riding freshman guard Ben McLemore and senior center Jeff Withey for most of the conference season, Kansas finally benefitted from what's become a tepid source as of late - senior guard Elijah Johnson.
And Kansas seemed to benefit from Johnson's poise, especially when the game got tight. His offense took a backseat in the second half, but his pesky defense resulted in two steals, equivalent to gold in this low-scoring rivalry game.
Edited by Brian Sisk
Self has maintained throughout the season that Johnson will eventually start making shots. Johnson shot 3-10 Tuesday night, but they were smarter shots than he's been taking recently, and he played within the offense, rather than forcing it. There's no doubt about Johnson's ability to put his shoes on. He just shouldn't have to try and help his teammates put theirs on as well all night.
It got better from there for Kansas fans. With Tharpe taking on portions of the ball-handling responsibilities, it left Johnson free to knock down a 3-pointer. Minutes later, Tharpe brought the ball up the court and found Johnson for a cutting lupy.
Although these plays simply resulted from running the offense, Johnson didn't have to look for his points while also facilitating the offense. By deferring to Tharpe to bring the ball up the court and establish the offense, Johnson slid back into his role from last year as the lajhwacks two-guard.
With Bramlage Coliseum amped up for the showdown between two ranked teams, Johnson's first half offense helped prevent Kansas State's brief run from turning into an all-out assault.
Johnson appears to relax when he doesn't have to bear the offensive load while also creating offensive opportunities for his teammates. As the point guard, it's been his job to help create opportunities for McLemore, the jayhawks' purest scorer. But when he shares the floor and the ball with Tharpe, Johnson returns into his natural two-guard role, looking for his shot.
Think about it. If Kansas didn't have Tyshawn Taylor running the point last season, especially during the NCAA Tournament, would Johnson have made his clutch three-pointer against Purdue? He very well may have, but so far this season, his play suggests that he plays best when he's part of the offensive flow, not the catalyst for it.

Jayhawk seniors say goodbye to Bramlage Coliseum with win
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
MANHATTAN — A final kiss goodbye, that's all Elijah Johnson wanted.
Johnson delayed his final steps off the court at Bramilea Coliseum to say farewell. He brought both his hands to his lips and blew multiple kisses to the notoriously boisterous Kansas State student section. The kisses were accompanied with the kind of beaming smile that children get as they're given a new toy.
And this was Johnson's last time to get that toy. The senior won his third game in four years in Manhattan after the Jayhawks beat the Kansas State Wildcats 59-15.
"That kiss felt good," Johnson said. "This was a game I always wanted to play in since I was a
freshman, and this was my year to actually go out and produce for our team."
While Johnson didn't have a particularly effective game offensively—shooting 3 of 10 from the field, finishing the game with eight points and turning the ball over five times—he did score five of the Jayhawks first 15 points, helping Kansas avoid the slow start that have recently plagued them.
Really, no player for the Jayhawks was offensively exceptional. This wasn't that kind of game. This was a battle of two former Illinois coaches that preach sermons in sound defense and toughness.
The Big Ten conference is known for playing defensively oriented, low-scoring basketball. And Self believes Kansas winning
"That's a typical Big Ten game," Bill Self said.
"My big belief is, you've got to learn to win games in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s," Self said. "You've got to, and we've been able to accomplish that."
by playing a game of this style was important.
While Self was pleased with the win, the game was a back-and-forth battle that featured two teams playing for the pride of winning the state. With 37 seconds left, the jayhawks had only a 3-point lead.
That's when sophomore point guard Naadir Tharpe was introduced to the pressures of a big time, in-state rivalry. Tharpe was fouled by the Wildcats and sent to the free-throw line to shoot a one-and-one.
If he missed, Kansas State would have a chance to tie the game. They never did, as Tharpe
made both free throws to inch Kansas toward its victory.
"I wasn't nervous at all," Tharpe said. "I just knew I had to take my time and get the free throws."
Tharpe sealed the win for the Jayhawks, and helped give the seniors their final hurrah in a building that Kansas is known for winning in. The Jayhawks now have a 23-2 all-time record in Bramlage Coliseum.
Perhaps that's why it meant so much to those seniors to beat Kansas State on the road for their final time like so many Kansas players before them.
Senior Kevin Young was one of the first players off the court after the final buzzer rang, but he still heard all about Johnson's postgame theatrics.
"They told me about it going in the locker room." Young said.
"They've been here longer than me. It means a lot more to them."
Yes, Johnson was the Jayhawk who so badly wanted to beat Kansas State one last time on the road. Perhaps he wanted the win so bad because it gave the Jayhawks the first place spot in the Big 12 standings at 5-0. Or perhaps it's because he knows he's taking his last tour of Big 12 road venues.
Either way, Johnson's kiss goodbye wasn't just him taunting the Kansas state crowd. There was a bit of sincerity in his final farewell.
"As crazy and weird as this may sound, I'm going to miss Kansas State," Johnson said. "It's probably the most fun environment to play in."

Lawmakers propose more than gun control
mschmidt@kansan.com
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
NATIONWIDE
Editors note: Gun control is a hot topic in the country right now, and it impacts college students in many ways. Over the course of the semester, the Kansan will examine gun issues from a variety of angles.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last month that left 26 schoolchildren and adults dead, gun violence has become an issue both national and state officials are attempting to address President Obama and Kansas Gov Sam Brownback have proposed measures to reduce gun violence. Here's a brief look at what they're proposing.
1. CLOSING BACKGROUND CHECK LOOPHOLES
The administration wants to close the "gun show loophole" by requiring all firearms dealers, not just federally licensed arms dealers, to run background checks on customers. Currently, private gun sellers are not required to run background checks. As a result, buyers in an estimated 40 percent of gun sales do not undergo background checks. The administration also hopes to remove legal barriers that prevent states from providing mental health information for use in background checks. States have voiced concerns that current health privacy protection laws prevent sharing such information for background checks.
In yesterday's article "University, city to build rec center," the lead, "Construction is underway on a new athletics facility." was incorrect. The plan for the recreation center has not yet been approved by the city.
2. BANNING MILITARY-STYLE ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES
CORRECTION
In addition to calling on Congress to "reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban," the administration plans to increase efforts to enforce current gun laws. The assault weapons ban was originally passed in 1994 before it expired in 2004. The president has called for banning semi-automatic rifles, which were used in the Aurora, Colo. theater shooting last August, limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds and banning the possession of armor-piercing rounds. Health care providers are also encouraged to talk to their patients about gun safety and report threats of violence to law enforcement. Calling the 30,000 gun-related homicides and suicides a year of a "public health crisis," the administration plans to lift the freeze on gun research, allowing the Centers for Disease Control to begin investigating causes of and solutions to gun violence.
3. MAKING SCHOOLS SAFER
The administration plans to spend $150 million to fund 1,000 new school jobs for resource officers, school psychologists, social workers and counselors. In addition to developing school emergency plans, the administration proposed a $50 million initiative aimed at training school personnel to create "nurturing" school environments. Currently, 18,000 schools have instituted strategies for improving school climate, and the initiative hopes to increase this by 8,000 schools.

children dying from gun violence and fewer children living in fear," said Arne Duncan, Obama's education secretary. "Harder to realize are the policies, actions and value changes necessary to reach those goals."
AMMUNITION BOX
4. IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Gun laws have come under scrutiny in the past several months and continue to be evaluated at the federal and state levels. In Kansas, a background check would be required to purchase a handgun such as the one above. State legislators are looking into mental health services as opposed to changing gun laws.
The president proposed a state-based strategy aimed at 16- to 25-year-olds to deal with mental issues including drug addiction. Three quarters of all mental illnesses manifest in a person by age 24. Yet less than half of children and adults with a diagnosable mental illness receive treatment, according to the White House. Furthermore, the administration plans to reach an additional 750,000 young people through its proposed Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education). The Affordable Care Act and Medicaid are guaranteeing mental health coverage through insurance.
"We are going to need to work on making access to mental health care as easy as access to a gun," Obama said.
STATEWIDE
In Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback has said he wants to address gun violence by looking into the state's mental health services, as opposed to changing guns law. The governor recently proposed shifting $10 million of state funding to regional mental health service hubs to address mentally at-risk Kansans. Additionally, the governor appointed task force to examine and overhaul the Kansas mental health system.

"One of the things I want to look at is whether or not we're providing sufficient mental health services. Brownback said in a December interview with the Associated Press."

Harriers make running a more social event

HANNAH BARLING
hbarling@kansan.com
Running doesn't usually coincide with beer drinking, but the Larryville Hash House Harriers know differently.
"Hashing" is a combination of running, socializing and having carefree fun. It was created in modern day Malaysia by British soldiers who started a hare and hounds running group. Modeled after the old children's game "paper chase", two hares route a three mile course by using chalk and flour. The rest of the running group are called the hounds and follow the chalked symbols passing through barriers and wrong turns.
Esther Tarshish, a sophomore from Minneapolis, was introduced to the Larryville Hash House Harriers by one of its founding members. Last Thursday, Tarsh

"It's a great way to expand your social circle and explore Lawrence because the locations change every week," Tarshish said.
Trevor Gunn recently moved to Lawrence and heard about the group through a friend. He said he likes drinking and wanted to mix things up.
EMILY WITTER/KANSAN Members of the Larryville Hash House Harriers, new and old, sign their name in a book before each event last Thursday at the Ranch. Members of the group can range from 21-55 years of age.
"I told people about it and they thought I was crazy," Gunn said, "so I thought I'd give it a go."
Hashing is a way for people to get away from their work or school routine and partake in a unique combination of exercise and fun. Socializing with new people and sharing crude jokes with fellow hashers makes for an entertaining

KU student arrested on suspicion of rape
A University student, Alexander Beglinger, was arrested in Lawrence on Sunday on suspicion of the rape of an unconscious female.
According to a statement released by Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department, a 19-year-old female University student reported being sexually assaulted at a local hotel during the early morning hours on Sunday. Beglinger was contacted by investigators and arrested later

Beglinger, a transfer student from City College of San Francisco, made his first appearance in the Douglas County District Court on Tuesday afternoon. Cheryl Wright, assistant to the District Attorney, said a preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 29 at 9:30 a.m. Bond is set at $35,000.
Additional details regarding the suspect, victim and the incident are not being released at this time.

"Drew faced so many strug-gles," said Wendee Anderson, his mother and an organizer for "Just Drew It." "He faced what he had to do and he faced it with a smile on his face."
Anderson worked for The University Daily Kansan as a copy chief during his time at the University. His effect on the newsroom and the School of Journalism led to the creation of the scholarship, which will select its first recipient

Rate My Professors is a website that allows students to rate professors after taking their class and allows for others to utilize professor ratings when enrolling for classes. The University has more than 2,000 professors listed on the website.
Students grade professors
IFNNA IAKOWATZ
iiakowatz@kansan.com
Many students now turn to the Internet for guidance before they enroll in a class.
Monica Marshall, a senior from Greenville, S.C., used Rate My Professors while enrolling this semester to decide what classes to take — and which professors to avoid.
"I've taken a certain class at a specific time because the teacher was rated so well by the other students on Rate My Professor," Marshall said. "I've also not taken certain classes because the teacher was rated so poorly."
Ratemyprofessors.com is a website where students can anonymously give feedback about the professors they have had at colleges across the country. According to the website, The University of
Kansas has 2.155 professors listed, with an average professor rating of 3.69. Comparatively, Kansas State University also has an average rating of 3.69, and Washburn University has an average of 3.78.
Rate My Professors boasts it is the "highest trafficked free site for quickly researching and rating 1.7 million professors from colleges and universities across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom."
However, some of the website's users are cautious before making a decision on a class or teacher solely based on the reviews.
Elizabeth Najim, a senior from
Wichita, is one of these users who is careful before taking the review of a professor at face value.
"Sometimes you have to use your common sense on some people's ratings, but usually they are quite accurate." Najim said.
"One of the downsides of the website is that it can become insulting and rude, or just infuriating because people can't spell, so how can you trust their judgement?" Naiim said.
Despite the website's drawbacks, many loyal users use it frequently and without hesitation.
"I use it every semester before I enroll." Marshall said.
The last day to officially add a class is Feb. 18, and the last day to officially drop or withdraw a class is April 22.

Fall marks curriculum changes
edonovan@kansan.com
Students can expect changes to KU's core curriculum starting next fall. The University Core Curriculum Committee is working on final revisions to the new KU Core, which will require students to take 12 general education classes along with classes specific to their majors.
Currently, 72 hours of classes are required for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' General Education degree. The KU Core will require approximately 36 credit hours. While the Core applies to all students regardless of their major and is in that sense an big change, it will likely cut down on total time spent in general education classes.
"Because the KU Core is based on educational goals and learning outcomes, students will have a better sense of what they are obtaining from the courses that they're taking," Haufler said. "The current general education requirements tend to just be lists of courses that don't seem necessarily tied to any particular learning goals."
Professor Chris Hauffer, who has been a leader in implementing the Core, believes that asking for only 12 units geared toward tangible learning goals such as strengthening written communication or expanding global awareness will give students a better sense of purpose.
possible courses to review this semester. When the reviewing process is finished, students will be able to choose between more than 800 classes to fulfill the required 12 units. Professor Chuck Marsh, chair of the University Core Curriculum Committee, believes that giving students so many class options in a variety of subjects will help them find courses that fit their interests.
Each school recommended courses to be added as options for the Core curriculum. The University Core Curriculum Committee has already approved nearly 500 courses and has more than 400
"It makes me want to be a student again," Marsh said. "One of the great things is to see how many courses in how many different departments across campus can clearly meet
certain of these learning outcomes."
"I wanted to be on the committee to make sure that while the college was making this change, that they were making sure that it was in the best interest of the students and that there was some student input," Childress said.
"It makes me want to be a student again."
Faculty members and student senators have been working to make sure that these core curriculum changes will positively impact the students. Tyler Childress, a junior studying sociology and political science, is a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Student Senator and a voting member on the 2012-2013 committee that has been working to define the new KU Core for its first year.
The new Core will be put in practice after the Provost and the
Chancellor moved to update general education requirements last fall.
"We've had the same curriculum in place pretty much as it currently stands for about fifty years," Hauffer said. "The fact that for the first time, all KU undergraduates — no matter what their major — will have the same grounding in general education will be a huge

change."
Incoming freshmen will be required to take the KU Core starting Fall 2013. When degree-specific requirements from each school are finalized after this
semester, current freshmen may meet with their advisors to decide whether to opt into the KU Core instead of continuing to study under current general education requirements.
"It may be advantageous for students to follow the KU Core rather than the current college B.A. requirements," Hauffer said. "However, I think, in the professional schools, it's just not going to have that much of an impact and it's much less likely that students will switch to the KU Core in engineering or journalism or architecture."
ODDITY
Current sophomores and upperclassmen will not be affected by the changes. More information can be found at http://kucore.ku.edu.

Two New Jersey men sued Subway this week, claiming the world's biggest fast-food chain has been shorting them by selling so-called footlong sandwiches that measure

At the time, the company issued a statement saying that the sandwich length can vary a bit when franchises do not bake to the exact corporate standards.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court in Mount Holly, may be the first legal filing aimed at the sandwich shops after an embarrassment went viral last week when someone posted a photo of a footlong and a ruler on the company's
Stephen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the New Jersey suit, said he's seeking class-action status and is also preparing to file a similar suit in Pennsylvania state court in Philadelphia.
He said he's had sandwiches from 17 shops measured — and
every one came up short.
"The case is about holding companies to deliver what they've promised," he said.
Even though the alleged short of a half-inch or so of bread is relatively small, it adds up. he said. Subway has 38,000 stores around the world.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Schwarzenegger makes his 'Last Stand' worth seeing
G
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
How best to explain the enduring appeal of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Over the last four decades, the former bodybuilder with the impenetrable accent has come to dominate nearly every facet of our culture, from the pop idolatry of Hollywood to the governorship of California. His post-politics comeback vehicle, the unapologetically sleazy action-western "The Last Stand," wisely sticks to the Austrian Oak's strengths, namely his charisma, his capacity for self-depreciation and his Rumpelstiltskin-like talent for spinning bad one-liners into eternally quotable gold.
"The Last Stand", an action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, was released on Jan. 18. Johnny Knoxville and Forest Whitaker also star in the movie.
The plot plays out like the demented, Hot Wheels-fueled fantasy of an especially gifted first grader. Imagine a pint-sized Michael Bay pitching "The Last Stand" to Lionsgate: "Okay, there's this drug boss, see, and plus also he's a racecar driver. FBI guys caught him because drugs are bad and he's bad, so he's going to jail. But he escapes, OK, in like this super-awesome mega-Corvette that never needs gas and also can outrace a helicopter. And his henchmen are building a bridge so he can cross the border and escape. But to do that, he's gotta drive through this one town where the sheriff is Arnold Schwarzenegert!"
Add in a layer of bone-crunching violence and a cast packed with cult favorites (Peter Stormare, Harry Dean Stanton, Luis Guzmán) and what you're left with is a full-tilt action smorgasbord worthy of comparisons to superior trash-classics like "Commando" and "Raw Deal." What sets this apart from the rest of Arnold's repertoire, though, is the sharp visual eye of director Kim Jee-woon, one of the enfantes terribles of South Korean cinema and a student of artsy action maestro John Woo.
Kim, the deviant talent behind 2010's serial killer odyssey "I Saw The Devil" and the cheerfully gonzo western "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", has a gift for staging action scenes using old knights in absurd yet effective new ways, and this film, his American debut, offers further proof of his prowess. Consider the car chase between Arnold and the drug lord's aforementioned Corvette (a souped-up version of the new ZR1) that ends in a surreal game of cornfield chicken, the blur of severed stalks obscuring the viewer's vision while the two battered vehicles prowl the interior of the maze like fiberglass minature.
The film also gets a surprising amount of comic mileage out of Johnny Knoxville's Dinkum, the local eccentric who turns his barely legal "weapons museum" into a makeshift armory for Arnold and his deputized posse. Watching him statically feed ammunition into the ex-Governator's mini-gun is one of the film's indelible highlights. Could this erstwhile jackass be angling for a late-career slide into character acting?
Not everything works. Far too much dramatic weight is hoisted on a flimsy love story between a
war vet turned jailbird (Rodrigo Santoro) and Arnold's token female deputy (Jaimie Alexander), while Forest Whitaker's wooden FBI agent seems like an emissary from an entirely different movie. Whitaker, an Oscar winner whose range definitely covers over-the-top, seems oddly restrained in a part that calls for spittle-coated bombast.
What about the big guy himself? Strange as it sounds, Arnold seems to have grown as an actor during his time away from the big screen. Maybe eight years in politics is the rough equivalent of a semester at Juliard. His Sherriff Owens, a weathered lawman who gave up big city clout for small town serenity, is a thoughtful, almost Eastwood-esque presence for much of the movie, at least until the slam-bang third act transfigures him back into the guntoting, quip-spouting Übermensch we all know and love. He said he be back, after all, and "The Last Stand" fulfills that promise with blood and bravado to spare.

'Mama' promises a big scare but lacks mystery on screen

Annabat (jessica Chastain) runs afoul of her nieces' jealous supernatural guardian in Andres Murchieini's horror thriller "Mama."
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
"Mama!" a maddening exercise in style overtaking suspense, a supremely creepy premise undone by gaping plot holes and saddled with a derivative, CGI-laden finale that shows entirely too much of the titular ghoul.
Despite the luminous presence of Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty") and the guiding hand of executive producer Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "The Devil's Backbone"), Andrés Muschietti's feature-length debut seems destined for the PG-13 "soft horror" bargain bin, a cinematic purgatory where jump scares reign supreme and quality aberrations like "The Sixth Sense." "The Mothman Prophecies" and "The Others" are few and far between.
The film starts off as a particularly grim fairy tale centered on Victoria (Megan Charpentier) and her younger sister Lilly (Isabelle Nelise), two little girls who survive in the forest for five years after both their parents are killed. By the time of their rescue, both children have been reduced to feral, monosyllabic wretches, barely capable of speech and seemingly beyond the thrall of civilization. Dr. Dreyfuss (Daniel Kash) becomes fascinated with their case, particularly their relationship with the invisible caregiver they call Mama, who Victoria claims has followed them back from the wilderness.
In order to study them further, Dreyfuss arranges for the girls to move in with their Uncle Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Walda) and his new wife Annabel (Chastain), a disaffected feminist still clinging to adolescent dreams of punk rock stardom. Chastain, almost unrecognizable beneath a black dye-job and globs of Joan jett eyeliner, nails the gradual awakening of Annaebel's long-repressed maternal instincts in ways both understated and touching, hardly two words one would normally associate with the horror genre. Her character are
is easily the film's most involving aspect.
Frankly, the main problem with the movie is Mama herself, who, of course, ends up being very real and wreaks ghostly havoc on the family after Victoria starts preferring the company of the flesh-and-blood Annabel. Mama's true form is one of those spindly, waterlogged wraths that have become ubiquitous since the heyday of J-Horror crossover hits like "Ringu" and "Ju-on: The Grudge." Even her excessive back-story, told through a
series of murky flashbacks, takes its cues from Gore Verbinski's 2002 version of "The Ring."
The film also makes the mistake of having Mama pop up almost constantly during the final act, robbing her of any remaining mystery or tacit dread. Have we forgotten what made "Alien" and "Jaws" so effective at shocking audiences back in the day? When it comes to inducing terror, less is more. One of the very best modern examples is Neil Marshall's 2005 spelunking shocker "The Descent," where the monsters aren't even seen until nearly an hour into the movie.

Muschietti, who adapted "Mama" from his celebrated 2008 short film of the same name, is undoubtedly a talented filmmaker, one with a firm command of atmosphere and the rare ability to elicit natural performances from very young actors (Charpentier and the nearly mute Nelise are both admittedly fantastic). Yet a second viewing of the original short makes the flaws on display here seem even more egregious by comparison. In the 2008 "Mama," we don't know a thing about this creature or why she's after these girls. We never even see her face. Now that's scary.

"I think going to the opera is a great chance to see something new" director John Stephens said. "There's nothing quite like the experience of hearing someone who has a really beautiful, strong, trained voice sing live."

KU Opera is hoping to bring a new audience to this form of entertainment with its upcoming production of "Tartuffe."
"Tartuffe' is different in a way that may bring in newer audience members," Stephens said. "It's in English, and it's a play that many people are aware of, as well. The subject matter is also one that a lot of people like to see, what with a hypocrite getting his comeuppance."
After months of rehearing, the cast of "Tartuffe" is ready to perform on Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 27 at 2:30 p.m. Performances will be in the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall. Tickets cost $10 for students and $15 for general admission.
People still might be scared away from "Tartuffe" because of the idea that the opera may be too foreign for them. "Tartuffe" promises to be different.

Coming out is becoming easier
The past year has, in a way, kind of been the year of the "exact com

ing out" From Frank Ocean, to Anderson Cooper to Jodie Foster just a week ago, more and more celebrities have been coming out as part of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning community. Not with covers on Time magazine, but with posts on blogs, as a vague allusion in speeches, a single line of "Yep, I'm gay, I also just adopted a puppy" in an article. It's still a big deal, to publicly declare to the world that your banner is the rainbow flag. But it's not quite as big of a deal as it used to be. In fact, there's a lot of pride held nowadays in being "out", and being able to publicly wave the rainbow flag—there's also a lot of pressure to be out, even if you don't necessarily feel comfortable, or even safe, in doing so.
of LGBTQ culture, where there's a growing expectation to be as out as possible: to publicly let your family, friends, peers, third grade lunch lady, every single person you come into contact with know that you're not heteronormative. There's a pressure, and an insulation, that as soon as you know this about yourself, everybody has to know this about yourself. And that if you don't thrust yourself out of the closet as soon as possible to every single person, you're doing a disservice to the LGBTQ community. There is pressure that not being super out means you must be carrying a lot of self-shame, which you need to get over. Which is a bunch of bull.
Some members of the LGBTQ community are simply not ready to come out, whether if it's just to their mom, or their workplace. This idea that you have to come out creates a mentality where not being super out means you're letting down the community.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
Especially for younger members of the LGBTQ community, there's a certain anxiety. You don't want to feel like you're hiding anything—you may even be out to some people already, or even to whole circles of people you know. But because you don't necessarily want to put on Facebook that Sally is interested in women, you're being made to question your own pride, when in fact, you're just not ready.
For some people, coming out even to just yourself can be a huge and lengthy process, and you may need time to sort out what it means for you on a personal level. For other people, you may feel comfortable confiding in certain people, but don't want to risk losing other friends or family in case they don't approve. Or you may not want to come out yet because of fear for your safety.
In 2011, 30 hate crimes were committed against members of the LGBTQ community that led to death, according to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs.
It sucks that despite the year being 2013, and living in a far more accepting world than the one our parents grew up in, that members of the LGBTQ community have to question being out for fear of being hurt. And everybody who is very much out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, queer, whatever your flavor, 'I'm glad you're' in a space in your lives where you can do that. Go you, because that's awesome. But not everyone feels they can do that. Some people, if they
came out right now, might be fired, or lose their housing, or be shunned by their families. They could literally be putting their lives at risk.
We need to keep working to make it safer, and more acceptable, to be out. We need to educate people, and create more protection under the law. And more people being out does help lend a stronger visibility, to make more people realize that whoever a person is attracted to, or whatever their gender identity is, it doesn't make them any more or less of a valid human being. But there also needs to be an understanding that some people don't feel comfortable being out yet, and not being out doesn't make them any less valid of a human being either.

Science still impressive even over winter break
I'm not going to lie, when it got around to the fourth week of break, being stuck in my house all day was starting to drive me crazy. I know some of us coped by getting jobs or taking trips to Mexico, but I was not so lucky; my only luxury was YouTube.
After 16 hours or so of a coma-like state of video browsing, I hit the jackpot and found almost every episode of "Bill Nye the Science Guy." I powered through two seasons in one day, and every episode reminded me of something I had forgot in my winter break stupor; science is awesome.
By Andrew Simpson
asimpson@kansan.com
I know it's the first week back from break and the last thing you want to do is learn about science, but some seriously cool discoveries and research has been down the last 30 days, and there's three main things I think you should know about.
NO DEATH BY ASTEROID
Based on data collected from orbiting telescopes, NASA announced that the 300-yard long behemoth, eraily named Apophis, will not crash into the Earth in either 2029 or 2036. Astronomers were able to get a closer look at the asteroid as it passed by Earth early this January. According to NASA, if it hit the earth, Apophis would be expected to impact with a force of 510 megatons of TNT, or 10 times the force of the largest nuclear weapon.
no way wed send astronauts to the spacerock a la "Armageddon," and we definitely wouldn't nuke an asteroid — that would just create a bunch of little radioactive asteroids that would still hit us — we could still hit it with a rocket to change its course by 1 or 2 degrees. And if we're playing with giant asteroids, that's exciting enough—for me.
While I'm happy I'll live (non-asteroid related deaths not withstanding) at least to the age of 41, I'm still disappointed we won't get to test out any of our anti-asteroid technology. While there's
SURPRISE: SUGAR IS TERRIBLE FOR YOU
After using MRI scanners to track eating control centers in the brain, researchers from Yale believe that our brains don't realize that fructose, as in high-fructose corn syrup, is actually sugar. In contrast, when a high amount of glucose, normal sugar, is registered in the bloodstream, our bodies release chemicals to make us feel full or stop eating. With fructose, our body doesn't recognize the sugar, so we tend to eat much more.
Fructose became the mainstay in most sugary foods, such as soda and most fast foods, starting in the 1970s, and not surprisingly, the increase in American obesity started at the same time. While there's no existing evidence the two events are linked, I mean, come on.
TELEPORTATION ALREADY EXISTS
Most ideas about the future always involve crazy ideas of transportation: from flying cars, to floating skateboards or teleportation. Most of these ideas will never come to fruition, but there's a bright side: teleportation already exists.
Alright, you got me. It's not as impressive as it sounds. We can only teleport at most a couple of photons. It's extremely complicated, and the simplest way to explain it is say we use quantum entanglement to send qubits, or an extremely tiny amount of information, one at a time. Still, researchers in Europe were able to teleport those two photons a distance of 88 miles.
Luckily for us who want to teleport, scientists at Cambridge believe they have a way to increase the amount of information sent via teleportation. According to an article published in Physical Review Letters, the researches have found a way to send multiple qubits at the same time.
Think of mailing a bunch of Legos to a friend. The old way would ship a single Lego piece at a time. The new teleportation technique would mail many Legos at once, but the more Legos pieces, the more jumbled they get.
Except right now, we can't send Legos, only photons. So we have a long way to go, but still, we've teleported things. Isn't that cool enough?

The claiming of the NBA throne
Is the NBA the Game of Rings? Maybe that is a stretch, but how does this sound? Competing self-interested factions making tactical maneuvers in order to be better positioned to take the ultimate prize.
Characters (players) change allegiances or find themselves betrayed as their odds at claiming the throne perpetually lengthen and dissipate (are traded and used as leverage to assemble pieces to a championship puzzle).
"Game of Thrones" is a TV show depicting powerful houses, lead by royal families, vying for power through politics and on the battlefield.
Bill Simmons authored "Game of NBA Thrones" last year at Grantland.com where he used quotes from his newfound favorite show to compare to moments and events in the NBA. Since then, thanks to the Los Angeles Lakers' woes and the Oklahoma City Thunder's budget constraint, the league has developed into a fully-fledged parody.
The NBA has seen the development of an evolved form of the player marketplace, as more star players enter the league and popularity rises, teams (and sometimes players) are assembling super teams, with multiple stars. Key players joining together to build great teams and challenge other teams for the title.
Starting with the pioneers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce in Boston, the NBA underwent an industrial revolution in how teams compete for titles. The Miami Heat, or should I say the Lannisters, popularized the concept when Lebron James and Chris Bosh teamed up with Dwayne Wade, Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion is the most likeable Lannister, who are power hungry and also the richest family in the Kingdom (the Heat have a wealth of superstars), but Tyrion is unique among them and aids them because of his strong family pride and loyalty.
The Starks, or the Thunder, are a more traditional, often honorable family that does not share the same power lust as other houses like the Thunder, who built their dynamic squad patiently through the draft. Ned

Stark, the leader of the Stark house (Kevin Durant) was thrust into the spotlight against his will and became Hand of the King without ever desiring such power, a modest superstar.
The Targaryens are a former dynasty now in ruin. They have a reason to be hopeful but find themselves far from their illustrious goals, much like the Lakers whose reign has ended and, although they have assembled the pieces, have performed poorly.
Stannis Baratheon, the brother of the former King, is willing to do anything to assume power. He consulted a quasi evil witch lady and took part in a sort of weird, dark magic ceremony where she gave birth to a demon thingy. The Brooklyn Nets have also trusted someone with the image of their organization—Jay Z. He may not be a witch but do you trust Beyonce? The team moved to Brooklyn from New Jersey and changed their team color to black, the same color as the demon thingy. They made some big offseason moves as well, acquiring pieces that made it clear that this longtime basement dweller was eyeing contention. Clearly, they will do anything to win.
And James Harden is obviously Jon Snow, the bastard son of Ned Stark who chose life on "The Wall" instead of as a part of the Stark house. James Harden was traded from the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder to the mediocre Houston Rockets. Instead of chasing titles with the Thunder he will be hanging out with Marcus Morris amid Cole Aldrich at the Night's Watch, or, I mean, in Houston.

COMMENTARY Border War good for Kansas fans
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
It was probably the biggest game of Kansas' regular season. The Jayhawks traveled to the Octagon of Doom to take on a red hot Kansas State team who was itching to beat its bitter rival. The stakes were enormous as both teams were undefeated in conference and battling for first place in the Big 12. Kansas State's only losses were to Michigan and Gonzaga while Kansas' only loss was a nail biter to Michigan State.
This game was obviously the headliner of the night, right? It must have been the featured game on ESPN.
Wrong.
The game was on the Big 12 Network.
The Big 12 Network. The biggest game of the Jayhawks season, and its viewership was the Midwest.
That's why Kansas needs to swallow its pride and play Missouri again.
No disrespect to the Wildcats. They are an excellent team that plays solid defense and if they can knock down their outside shots, they are capable of beating any队 in the nation. Yes, even the Jayhawks.
But writing kind words about the Wildcats did not make me cringe. It did not leave a sour taste in my mouth. However, if I had complimented the Missouri Tigers, I would be desperately seeking the nearest shower to wash away my shame. The hate for the Wildcats is just not there. And it is because of the hate for the Tigers that the Border War would never be televised on the Big 12 Network. Television executives would circle that game immediately and feel confident people all over the country would switch off Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and watch the game.
If the Jayhawks started playing them again, the Jayhawks are the jilted man who crawls back to his former paramour, despite her leaving him for a man who drives a Rolls Royce and has a nice, full mustache. And you know what? That's true.
I understand that the Tigers, in layman's terms, dumped us. They were offered a nice contract with a thriving football conference and pranced out the door without so much as glancing over their shoulders. It seemed they barely even considered that they were walking away from one of the storied rivalries in basketball.
But it's about more than just pride. It's about the fans. It's about tradition. It's about being the bigger man. When Thomas Robinson blocked current Missouri junior Phil Pressey, and Allen Fieldhouse registered a decibel that hadn't been heard since the Manhattan Project. It showed how much both sides care about the rivalry. It showed how every Border War has the potential to become a classic in the making.
Maybe it won't be next year or even the year after that. However, the Border War must continue. The Missouri game was always highlighted, underlined, and circled on the schedule of even the most casual fans around the United States.
The Kansas State game couldn't even make it on national television. It's a mantra that's often forgotten in college basketball, but it rings true.
It's about the fans.

KANSAS 76, TEXAS 38
BACK ON TRACK
Women's team snaps losing streak with victory over Texas
MAX GOODWIN
rmgoodwin@kansan.com
It had been 18 days since the last Kansas victory.
"What, you didn't think I was counting?" Bonnie Henrickson said after her team beat Texas by a score of 76-38.
It was almost the exact situation that Kansas found themselves in last season when they faced Texas at Allen Fieldhouse, feeling the desperation of having lost three games in a row, and once again, Kansas ended its losing streak.
Henrickson's team played with a sense of urgency after three straight Big 12 losses. After one half of play, the Jayhawks went into the locker room with a 46-12 lead after shooting 53 percent from the field and 50 percent from the three-point line.
The sense of urgency was shared by the Longhorns, who entered Allen Fieldhouse on an eight-
game losing streak. Texas was playing without its two top scorers, Chassidy Fussell and Nenka Enemkali, who did not make the trip to Lawrence because of team violations.
Senior Angel Goodrich showed off her shooting skills, which she has been working hard on in practice, going 5-of-7 from long range against Texas. She has become a real three-point threat.
"We had a shot to end it at [Texas] Tech," Henrickson said. "We wanted to make sure we took care of that business tonight."
Goodrich led the nation in assists per game last season, but she has focused recently to become a more aggressive shooter. The senior point guard is not just looking to add points to her career scoring; she is thinking about the reaction of defenders once they figure out that she can shoot.
"I want to change my game to where, if their hands are down, 1
can hit an open shot," Goodrich said. "Then they would have to put more pressure on me, so then I can drive and dish."
The first three-pointer of the game gave Goodrich 1,000 career points, joining Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis as the third current Jayhawk to reach the mark.
Goodrich and Davis both struggled against Texas Tech, combining for 18 points. On Wednesday, against Texas, Davis scored 18 points on her own while Goodrich was the leading scorer with 20 points.
Bonnie Henrickson can prepare her team for its game against Oklahoma State without counting the days in between. Her team will play Oklahoma State this weekend, hoping to begin a new streak.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Phog consistent with great moments
RYAN MCCARTHY mmccarthy@kansan.com
Basketball history is everywhere in Allen Fieldhouse. You can sense the ghosts of Wilt Chamberlain and "Phog" Allen anytime you curl your feet around the wooden bleachers or tilt your head up to the rafters filled with banners. The halls are bursting with shining trophies, gigantic murals and, above all, memories. Memories from games only seen in bits on the flashy video board or grainy video clips online. It's the 800th regular season men's basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday against Oklahoma. Here's a few memorable moments from the past 799.
MANHATTAN THEATRE
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
- After three years of construction, the Fieldhouse opened on March 1, 1955, with a Kansas victory over Kansas State. The Jayhawks came out victorious against the Wildcats with a 77-67 win.
- Before Danny Manning, the school's all-time leading scorer,
left to have a career in the NBA, he squeezed out a few indelible performances. One of the best for Manning came against Digger Phelps and the Fighting Irish on Feb. 8, 1987. Manning dropped 40 points that game as Kansas beat Notre Dame 70-60. It was Manning's best performance in the Phog behind a 42-point effort against Missouri State that year.
- 150 points is a major accomplishment in college basketball. But it means even more when Kansas played a team like powerhouse Kentucky. The Jayhawks dropped 80 points in the first half and went on to put another 70 points to set the school record for most points in a game. The final score: Kansas 150 Kentucky 95.
- In his first varsity game inside Allen Fieldhouse, Wilt Chamberlain started off his career with a bang on Dec. 3, 1956. The Jayhawks crushed the Northwestern Wildcats behind Chamberlain's 52 points. That record still stands as the most points scored in a single game by any Kansas Basketball player.
- In one of the more memorable Final Four runs for Kansas, no game was bigger than Nick Collison's 24-point, 23-rebound performance that led the Jayhawks over Texas by the score of 90-87 on Jan. 27, 2003. For those who watched on television, this was the game ESPN commentator Dick Vitale gave Collision a standing ovation. Also Kansas great Kirk Hinrich scored 25 points in his final game at Allen Househouse.
- It was a day full of record-setting accomplishments on March 3, 2007 when Kansas cam back from a 12 point deficit to win 90-86 over the Texas Longhorns. On that day Kansas won its 1,900th all-time game and clinched its 50th conference title. However, what is still remembered most is Texas' Kevin Durant's 25 point first half. He finished the game with a total of 32 points.
- Raef Lafrentz, Billy Thomas,
and Kansas won 83-70 over
Oklahoma on Feb. 23, 1998, completing the careers as Jayhawks
as undefeated at home. There was also a man by the name of Paul Pierce who impressed
Oklahoma coach Kelvin
Sampson with his 31-point performance that night.
- With the Border War appearing to be on hold for the near future, Kansas' 87-86 overtime victory over Missouri proved to be one of the greatest games in the rivalries history while also adding to the lore of the Fieldhouse. As you might remember, The Jayhawks overcame a 19-point second half deficit to force overtime and the eventual victory.

Robinson struggles in the Association
Thomas Robinson is perhaps the most beloved player in Kansas basketball history. While stealing
the hearts of basketball fans near and far, Robinson led the Jayhawks to the National Championship all while earning a spot on the first team All-American squad.
Everyone loves Robinson. All Robinson's actions, good and bad, were justifiable in the eyes of any Kansas fan. It needs no further explanation; everyone loved Thomas Robinson.
By Chris Hybl
editor@kansan.com
Robinson was selected fifth overall in the 2012 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. Not much has been heard of the man since. In short, it's been a rough start.
To start off, Robinson struggled through summer league, and was ultimately 'selected' to SBnation.com's 'All Disappointing Team.'
Bigger news involving Robinson came when his mid-game frustration resulted in a viciously angry elbow to the esophagus of Detroit Pistons' forward Jonas Jerebko (not a bad Youtube watch), earning T-Rob a two-game suspension.
On Jan. 15, Robinson wrecked his beautiful (and expensive) Porsche Panamera on a concrete median in Sacramento following a win over the
Cleveland Cavaliers. Robinson was a little late executing a right turn, and proceeded to pretty-well deface the front of the Porsche. The vehicle was left straddling on the foot-high concrete divide. Kings fans had plenty of fun with comments relating to 'Robinson lane troubles.'
Most recently on Saturday, Robinson was the victim of an unintentional Ramon Sessions elbow to the kisser. Robinson was still able to play Monday despite an 11-stitch patch-up-job.
As for a performance review, Robinson hasn't exactly been exceeding the expectations of the Kings' organization or himself. Robinson has averaged only 4.5 points and 15 minutes per game, but T-Rob is certain he's getting there.
"It just took me a little longer than the rest of them," said Robinson referring to the progress of other NBA rookies. "But
KU
I'm back on track."
With Robinson getting limited minutes, Kings head coach Keith Smart has made Robinson's objective clear.
"Try to be an efficient player in the minutes that you have." Smart said. "And I think so far over the [recent] games, he's played well with what he does well already."
This week in athletics
Edited by Laken Rapier
Robinson's NBA career has been everything but smooth so far, and in all honesty, no NBA doings will be able to taint the legacy left by the "Team F.O.E." co-president. But as for now, let's hold on to the older memories.

Ex-cheerleader sues gossip website
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hoooman Karamian, who goes by the name Nik Richie, testified in a northern Kentucky courtroom that cheerleader Sarah Jones was on national television and participated in community events because of the high-profile job. Public figures trying to prove defamation have a higher burden than people who aren't in the public eye.
COVINGTON, Ky. — A gossip website operator defended himself Wednesday against a defamation lawsuit by arguing that a former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader featured in posts on the site is a public figure.
Richie, 33, also said his Scottsdale, Ariz.-based website, thedirty.com, is similar to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the way it features user content. Richie has said the two posts cited in Jones' lawsuit included text and photos submitted by people who knew her.
"My position is freedom of speech, and people are entitled to their own opinion," Richie testified. "This is America."
Jones, a onetime teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with her 17-year-old former student, is suing Richie and the website over two posts in 2009 that were unrelated to her relationship with the teen.
Her attorney, Eric Deters, is arguing that the posts tarnished her reputation as a teacher and Bengals cheerleader before she ever had a relationship with the teen, causing her severe emotional distress.
In the first post in October 2009, Jones is pictured smiling for the camera with a former kicker for the Bengals. The caption says she had sex with every member of the team.
The second showed her in a bikini from one of the Bengals calendars. It claimed that her ex-husband contracted chlamydia and gonorrhea after cheating on her with more than 50 women, and that he likely gave it to
her.
Richie, who lives in Orange County, Calif., with his wife and 1-year-old daughter, said in an interview last week that the comments came from someone who knew Jones and had access to photos she posted on Facebook. He said the only thing he wrote about Jones was in the second post, saying, "Why are all high school teachers freaks in the sacks?"
Richie's attorney, Alexis Mattingly, showed jurors glossy calendar photos of Jones wearing bikinis and reminded them that Jones lied to police, her family and her bosses about her relationship with the teenager.
Jones has said repeatedly that she has only had sex with two people, her former husband and the teenager.
Jones pleaded guilty in October to having sex with the teen under an agreement that let her avoid jail time. The two are still together.
Testimony in the defa-
mation trial is expected to wrap
up Thursday and will include
footage of Richie from an
appearance on "The Dr. Phil
Show." The jury could reach
a verdict as early as the af-
ternoon.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks defense has been the difference maker in the last four games for Kansas as the offense continues to work through its slump. Kansas has held opponents to less than 60 points during that stretch but has struggled to score 60 itself. There were some encouraging signs against Kansas State (45 percent shooting), but it's not all clicking just yet.

What will it take for the offense to return to its most productive level?
QUESTION MARK
Kansas coach Bill Self has used a variety of lineups, but it doesn't seem like he's found the right formula yet. Keeping Ben McLemore and Jef Withey out of foul trouble will certainly help.

Kansas State didn't get to see Johnson at his best, but he certainly bounced back from his 1-11 shooting performance at Texas. The Jayhawks point guard scored eight points and grabbed four boards against the Wildcats. Johnson also continues to be effective at getting the ball to freshman Ben McLemore.

One of the best defenders in college basketball lived up to his title Tuesday in Manhattan. Reifel forced K-State's Rodney McGrudor into taking nine of his 12 shots from three. The senior would also go on to score 12 points for the fourth time in five games.
McLemore

BEN MCLEMORE. GUARD
Kansas' best pro prospect continues to impress. McLemore caught off another 11 points against K-State and rattled up with two blocks in transition. McLemore has now scored in double figures in 16 of Kansas' 18 matches, averaging 16.1 points. The freshman tossed up just seven field goals due to foul trouble. That should be the only reason he shoots that few again.

It was definitely a game to forget for Kevin Young on Tuesday. Kansas' energy spark was a bit fried going 1-6 from the field and having trouble finishing at the rim. Yet he's proven to be in key game stretches and gets good looks in the paint.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
Kansas opens up with a late run and gets the bench active. Oklahoma has started receiving over 25 votes, and a painful loss at Allen Fieldhouse could knock out that idea. The Sooners handled Texas and Oklahoma rather handily, but have not experienced a team this year like Kansas.

AT A GLANCE
After three sub - .500 seasons, Oklahoma is in position to halt its slide from the Big 12's upper elcower with its 13-4 record. Second-year coach Lon Kruger is a proven winner, with 507 career victories, 13 NCAA Tournament appearances and a Final Four with Florida in 1994. Kruger coached Kansas State from 1986-1990 and took UNLV to the NCAA Tournament four times in his final five seasons in Las Vegas before accepting the Oklahoma job. The Sooners have won six of their past seven games, but lost a head-scorcher to Stephen F. Austin in Norman, Okla. in mid-December.

in the conference at 82 percent and has been to the charity stripe twice as often as any other Sooner. Look for him to use his 232-pound frame to try and bully Jeff Withey and Kevin Young down low instead of going straight up into Withey's taller frame.
QUESTION MARK
Which Steven Spledger will show up?
507-324
The senior is the Sooners' most experienced player, but he is scoring five points per game fewer than he did his junior campaign. He hasn't scored more than 12 points during conference play. But he led Oklahoma in scoring in the final three outings before conference play began, including games of 17 and 18 points. Osby will get his points, and either M'Bare or Hield will likely score in double figures as well. But if Oklahoma wants to pull off the almost mystical Allen Fieldhouse upset, it must get production from another player. Pledger is the best candidate.
BY THE NUMBERS
Lon Kruger's career head coaching record, with stops at Texas Pan-American, Kansas State, Florida, Illinois, UNLV and Oklahoma.
The number of three-point field goals Oklahoma makes per game, ninth in the Big 12.
4.76

Consecutive losing seasons for the Sooners after 28 straight winning seasons.
BABY JAY WILL WEER JE
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Everything goes completely wrong. The Sooners are firmly entrenched in the middle of the Big 12 in every statistical category except free throw percentage, where they are second. Along with a loss to Stephen F. Austin, Oklahoma beat 10-8 Oral Roberts by one point and 11-6 Northwestern State by four points. If Kansas can overwhelm Osby inside, Oklahoma should have no chance to win. If Osby scores a career high, the game could stay way more interesting that it ever needed to be. But even that might not be enough.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Angel Goodrich, Senior Point Guard
Not only did the senior point guard have a game-high 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 5-of-7 from behind the arc. She also added six assists and five rebounds. But the reason this will be remembered for the 5'4" point guard hit the 1,000 point milestone. When she got her second bucket to fall, she became the 26th player in Kansas Jayhawk history to reach that plateau.

GAME TO FORGET
Lamaria Cole, Freshman Point Guard
The high spring freshman guard got to see some play time as the Jayhawks stretched their lead throughout the entire game. When Cole was in there, she had a rough time trying to play within the system and at a good speed. In just 11 minutes, she had six turnovers. The future looks bright, but for this game it's more of a learning curve.

Goodrich becomes 26th player to reach 1,000-point milestone
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
After an early bucket, Goodrich was only a field goal away from being the 26th player in Kansas women's basketball history to reach the milestone.
Senior guard Angel Goodrich came into the game against the Texas Longhorns needing only four points to reach the 1,000-point milestone.
The ball hit the front of the rim, took a backspin to the top of the glass, then came back down to hit the side of rim to finally fall through the nylon net inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"The shot was just like, 'Finally' I've been working on my shot the last few days. The first two I missed, and they were pretty hard misses," Goodrich said. "So when that one popped up high, I was like, 'Wow,' and when it went in, I was like, 'Finally it went in.'"
Then with under 10 minutes left in the first half, Goodrich fired a three from the wing.
With a smile running down the court, Goodrich joined her two senior teammates Carolyn Davis and Monica Engelman in the 1,000-point club.
To make the moment even more special for the three seniors, all three of them accomplished the milestone on the hardwood of James Naismith Court inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"It's really cool doing it with them two," Goodrich said. "And especially since we all did it here in Allen Fieldhouse, we can look back and be grateful and honored to do it."

"It says a lot about how much we've worked since the beginning," Davis said. "For us to reach the milestone, it says a lot about our determination and I'm really proud of her."
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said it was appropriate that Goodrich joined her senior teammates with the milestone, because they have each helped the program in their own way.
"It's pretty special that they're in with so many great players in the program," Henrickson said.
All three players have had their difficulties and struggles in the past, whether it was injuries or poor play. They have had to fight through everything in their path in order to be the number 24th, 25th and 26th players to reach the milestone.
Goodrich's quest to 1,000 had been within reach the last two games, and none more so than last Saturday against Texas Tech. In that game against the Red Raiders, Goodrich needed just 11 points to reach the plate.
Freshman guard Lamaria Cole moves past a Texas defender on her way to the basket in Wednesday's game. Cole scored two points in her 11 minutes on the court.
With it so close, Goodrich made just 3 of 15 shots, leaving her four points shy heading into last night's game. Goodrich said she didn't even know she was close to the 1,000-point club in her last game, but being able to get it at home was a huge bonus.
"It is special to get in Allen Fieldhouse. Coming here and being in front of our loyal fans and get it in front of them, it feels great." Goodrich said. "It's very special because so much history has been made here anyway, and for me to get here, in front of our own fans, is a great feeling."
Even though Goodrich was highly recruited out of high school, Goodrich said she never thought she would actually reach the plateau that only an elite group of basketball players can actually reach.

I'll be there.
Duke head coach Mike Kryzewski, center, watches the final minutes of an NCAA college basketball game against Miami Wednesday in Coral Gables, Fla. Miami won 90-63.
Duke's worst loss in years brings Hurricane fans joy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — With a steady din coming from the sea of orange behind the visitors' basket, No. 1-ranked Duke had a tough time making a shot.
The Blue Devils went more than 8 minutes without a field goal in the first half Wednesday night, and a sellout became a blowout for No. 25 Miami, which delighted a boisterous crowd with a 90-63 victory.
The defeat was the third-worst ever for a No.1 team, and Duke's worst in nearly five years.
Durand Scott scored a seasonhigh 25 points for the Hurricanes, and Kenny Kadji added a seasonhigh 22. Shane Larkin had 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and Durham, N.C. native Julian Gamble had 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.
Miami (14-3, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a No. 1 team for the first time, taking control with a stunning 25-1 run midway through the opening half. The Blue Devils missed 13 consecutive shots despite numerous good looks, while four Hurricanes hit 3-pointers during the run that transformed a 14-13 deficit to a 38-15 lead.
Duke (16-2, 3-2) fell to 0-2 when playing on an opponent's court. The Blue Devils' other loss came at North Carolina State, a defeat cost them the No. 1 ranking.
They regained the top spot this week but seemed rattled by the capacity crowd, only the 10th in 10 years at Miami's on-campus arena. Students began lining up for seats outside the arena almost 24 hours before tipoff, a rarity for the attendance-challenged Hurricanes.
and the Hurricanes are alone atop the league standings. They won their sixth consecutive game and beat Duke for the second straight time -- but only the fourth time in the 19-game series.
But South Florida loves a winner.
Seth Curry, Tyler Thornton and Quinn Cook went a combined 1 for 29 for the Blue Devils, who shot a season-low 30 percent. Rasheed Sulaiman led them with 16 points.
Duke went 4 for 23 from 3-point range, while Miami went 9 for 19 and shot 57 percent overall.
A Duke mistake early in the second half had coach Mike Krzyzewski red-faced and on the court, screaming at his team. But he couldn't inspire a turnaround.
"Over-rated" the fans chanted with 3 minutes left. When the game ended, they poured onto the court and mobbed their team.
ROWING
Kansas expects to start spring season off strong
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
With four months in between competitions, the Kansas rowing team traveled to Tampa, Fla., for its winter training trip. The team, which last competed on Nov. 4, practiced 18 times during its 10 days in Tampa.
The team emphasized keeping in shape before the trip, so it could work on the mechanics during the training.
"It was important that everyone workout at the start of the break so that when we went on the trip we could focus on technical parts of rowing and not fitness," senior Olivia Kinet said in a Kansas athletics news release. "We told the
team that if they were not doing the work in their free time they were falling behind the rest of the teams in the country."
Kinet, an All-Conference USA selection last year, was among the 52 members of the team who made the trip. Head coach Rob Catloth said they spent much of the time working on being coaches during competition.
"There are no timeouts in rowing so part of this is teaching them how to fix things on their own in the heat of battle," Catloth said in a Kansas athletics news release. "I'm also seeing improved depth. Many of our sophomores and juniors are making big strides in their improvement."
The team will not be able to practice again for a few weeks due to the weather. The first competition during the spring semester, the Oklahoma Invite, starts on March 8 and ends on March 10. Other competitions include the Big 12 Championships on May 4 in Kansas City, Kan., and the Conference USA Championships on May 18 in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
"This is the most confident we have been heading into the season," Kinet said. "This is the best I have ever seen us perform. Our attitude is right and we are in a position to accomplish our goals in the spring."

Shockers win after weak first half
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — So much for assuming this was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Wichita State.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cleanthony Early had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Carl Hall added 15 points and the 20th-ranked Shockers rallied for a 62-52 victory over Missouri State on Wednesday night.
The Bears, behind freshman Gavin Thurman, used a 19-1 run to take a 33-25 lead with 16:13 remaining in the game.
The Shockers came away empty on their first five possessions of the second half then Early and Hall got more active in the offense, scoring all but two of the points in a 16-2 run that gave Wichita State a 41-35 lead with 10:53 to go.
"We weren't going very strongly (in the first half). It d:d:nn remind me of the guys I had seen on Saturday," said Wichita State coach
Gregg Marshall, referring to the Shockers win over Creighton. "But in the second half, they changed that."
The Shockers won despite their fourth-lowest scoring output of the season.
“There going to be some physical play and there’s going to be some holds and some grabs and some body-slamming in the Valley,” Marshall added. “They’ve got to know that. That’s what I told Cleanthony — I said, ‘You’re the new guy. This is the way we play, so you’ve got to adjust.’”
The Shockers (18-2, 7-1 Missouri Valley Conference), who were playing just days after upsetting then-No. 12 Creighton, remained in first place in the conference.
Thurman had 21 points to lead Missouri State (5-15,3-5), which lost its fourth straight before a crowd of 6,448.
It was the third straight win for
the Shockers, who were supposed to be in a rebuilding year after winning the conference regularseason title a year ago.
The Shockers won again without two injured starters, Ron Baker (foot) and Evan Wessel (hand). It was Hall's third game back since he missed seven games because of a broken thumb on his shooting hand.
Missouri State trailed by 12 points with about 5:15 left before halftime, but Thurman took over game's next 9 minutes to take a 33-25 lead.
He later added, "I was just trying to make stronger moves."
"They just told me to run the floor, sit in and keep playing," Hall said.

lwig Dairy Store is known for its ice cream, milk selections and signature glass bottles. Milk prices are expected to increase to $8 per gallon if Congress does not to extend a farm protection bill.
Local dairy combats adverse conditions
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
At 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. everyday, Iwig Family Dairy milks its cows. Within days, its natural, local, healthy products are on the shelf.
Located outside Topeka, Iwig Family Dairy is one of four family-owned farms producing for the northeast Kansas area. One of their two retail stores is located at 1901 Massachusetts Street. The location offers ice cream, butter, and other products including milk that was drawn from one of 65 Iwig cows less than two days before being stocked on the shelf for sale.
What makes Iwig unique, however, isn't just its freshness. While all other dairy distributors in the area use high temperature pasteurization, which damages the enzymes in cow milk, Iwig's low temperature process makes his milk more digestible for more people.
"There's no way you can get milk as fresh as ours anywhere else in Lawrence", said Tim Iwig, the company owner.
"Our milk is the healthiest milk you can buy that has been pasteurized," Iwig said.
Freshman Jordan Falley from Tecumseh, has been drinking Iwig milk with her family for years. More than anything, she appreciates that their products are environmentally friendly. Iwig milk comes in glass bottles which, Iwig says, is both cleaner and healthier and prevents the milk from tasting like plastic. When Failey purchases a gallon, she brings back her used glass bottles to exchange for a discount.
While Iwig's dedicated customers are willing to pay for premium milk, the company is experiencing hard times. Kansas has been experiencing drought weather for nearly two years, which makes finding ac-

To temporarily avoid inflating milk prices projected by some to be as much as $8 per gallon, Congress
approved a nine month extension of the Farm Bill in December 2012. Private farmers are hopeful that Congress will pass legislature that remodels and simplifies how milk prices are calculated before the Farm Bill extension expires.
Iwig is hoping sales at the Lawrence location, which opened this past summer, pick up and carry the company through tough economic times. The Lawrence location isn't doing as well as he had hoped for, possibly due to its less popular store location or its followers not knowing about it. In November, Iwig had to file for bankruptcy.
Iwig, however, is confident in the quality and healthiness of his product.
"If more people knew why ours is better, more people would buy it," Iwig said. "Not only do we do milk but we have the probably the best ice cream you can buy in Lawrence or Topeka."
In the meantime, lwig will be looking to expand in Lawrence.

ROAD TO RECOVERY
Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority show their support for their fellow sister, Eleanor Cizek, a sophomore from St. Paul, Minn., after she was seriously injured in a skiing accident in Colorado earlier this month. Cizek was put in medically induced coma and woke up after a week.
Community rallies creates campaign for injured student
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
As her friends huddle together in a circle on the floor, they're asked to describe her personality. The phrases they use give insight into her character: she's always laughing at herself and smiling. A hard worker. Values relationships with her family and friends. And although she isn't present, there is a common thread that connects each vignette:
"She's just got the biggest heart,
befriends anybody and everybody," said Tasha Johnson, a Highland Ranch, Colo. sophomore. "She's just the type of
PRESIDENT OF THE COMMUNITY
Cizek
person who's beautiful in and out, always."
Eleanor Cizek, a sophomore from St. Paul, Minn., was seriously injured in a skiing accident in Colorado on Jan. 9. According to posts by her family on her CaringBridge website, she hit a padded pole, became unconscious and was airlifted to Denver with bruising on the left side of her brain. After remaining in a medically induced coma, she woke up one week after sustaining her traumatic brain injury.
Although the road to recovery won't be speedy, Cizek's friends and members of her sorority have vowed to stick by her through her journey. Using social media and the hashtag "#CizekStrong", together they have raised awareness about Cizek and her condition and united their followers in a sea of support.
"We just wanted her to know that were all sending love and prayers and supporting," said Jillian Paff, a sophomore from Overland Park.
"She would have done the same thing for any of us," Johnson added.
Josie Vignatelli, a sophomore from Leawood, was with Cizek at the time of her accident. She expressed that the care she received immediately following the accident was life saving. While she continues to receive superior care, Johnson said the collective support is helping to improve her condition.
"Every time I visit her in the hospital they say how much they think her progress is going along because people are storming the heavens with prayers and the love and support she's getting is amazing," she said. "We just want to keep that going because it is such a long process."
Posts from her CaringBridge blog describe Cizek's recovery as "a marathon and not a sprint." Her MRI results were indicative of a "significant second phase to her healing that requires physical therapy and relearning certain skills." However, her doctors think that with her youth, Cizek's recovery looks promising.
In order to offer support for Cizek and her family, members of the campaign started selling bracelets with the Cizek Strong slogan. They are currently available for $5 and can be purchased by emailing cizekstrong@gmail.com. T-shirts are also being prepared and will be available soon. Proceeds will help offset the costs of the Cizek family's weekly commutes to Denver.
For more information about Cizek and her progress, visit http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/eleanorjoycizek. To purchase a bracelet or t-shirt or donate to Cizek and her family, email cizekstrong@gmail.com.

After seeing Cizek and her family in Denver, Vignatelli feels the campaign is representative of the family's attitude in the face of adversity.
"I think it's just important to get out there that not only do her close friends and people who know her here at KU support her, but the entire community and the entire school," Vignatella said. "No matter what, it's going to be a long road ahead, but we'll continue to support her whether it's a month from now, six months from now, and so will the entire KU community."
As her friends continue to converse about Cizek, her family and the desire to help, it's clear that Cizek Strong is sending a message of united, unconditional support.
"Her family just embodies so much strength and determination, yet they're so positive and upbeat about the entire situation," she said. "I feel like the bands are kind of a symbol of that."

Alum gifts $500,000 to debate team

Support and stability go hand in hand when talking about the potential success of a program. Recently, the University debate team got a little help to ensure both of those critical needs will be met.

In partnership with KU Endowment, David Pittaway, a 1972 University graduate and former member of the debate team, gave a $500,000 gift to the debate program.
BRITTANY THIESING/KANSAN
The debate team has its meetings to discuss its upcoming competitions, and the topics each team member will debate about. The team is looking forward to using funds to offer scholarships, have long-term caoches and help with traveling expenses.
"KU's debate team has long been important to David Pittaway. He realized that the skills he learned in debate helped further his career," said KU Endowment media relations manager Lisa Scheller.
interest could be available to the program in March of this year.
Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said Pittaway's gift will have an impact in many aspects of the University as well as the debate program.
["Pittaway"] recognizes the importance strong academic program have on the University's reputation," he said. "The professorship fund he has endowed will provide essential resources to sustain KU's legacy of stellar debate coaches for many generations. Moreover, his gift will help us reach one of the Far Above campaign's main goals, to develop future leaders."
Scheller said the gift applies toward KU Endowment's Far Above campaign, which she said "seeks support to educate future leaders, advance medicine, accelerate discovery and drive economic growth to seize the opportunities of the future." The $500,000 will count toward the campaign's $1.2 billion goal.
The focus of the endowed fund created by Pittaway's gift is to provide support for the head coach, including salary, travel and recruitment expenses, as well as any other related needs. According to Scheller, a portion of the fund's
Current debate coach Scott Harris said there are three specific needs that debate has targeted that he hopes endowment fundraising will alleviate: support for longterm coaching stability, generating additional scholarship revenue, and the ongoing costs of travel to competitions.
"When debate programs have come and gone at universities around the country, it's largely been a product of lack of support for a coaching position," Harris said.
"We compete with other schools, many of them offer full scholarships for debate, and we currently do not have the ability to do that, so it sometimes puts us in a non-competitive position," he said.
The ability to offer full scholarships for debate is also something that Harris believes is a setback for debate at the University.
This year, Harris said the team is about twice the size of most other years, traveling 30 students to approximately 20 tournaments all over the country, more students than the program has traveled in the past 25 years. The team is
currently fourth in the country in the National Debate Tournament Varsity rankings.
For Harris, the gift has a special meaning to KU debate. Donn Parson held the title of debate coach for 25 years and was the coach Pittaway debated for. At the end of last fall, Parsen retired after 49 years as a professor at KU.
"I have called him the 'Phog
Allen' of the debate program," Harris said. "The fact that one of his former debaters was committed to the support for coaching I think is a tribute to all that Dr. Parson meant to the debate program."

Lawsuit reveals support from anti-abortion activists
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — A lawsuit against a Kansas woman who publicly proclaimed her admiration for the man who gunned down one of the country's few late-term abortion providers is revealing the unwavering support a small group of radical anti-abortion activists has for the imprisoned killer despite an ongoing federal investigation into the 2009 slaying.
Though no federal indictments have been handed down by a grand jury investigating whether Dr. George Tiller's death was connected to a broader case involving extreme anti-abortion activists, the lawsuit against Angel Dillard is one indication the Justice Department is taking a more heavy handed approach to perceived threats to abortion providers. In addition to alleging Dillard, of Valley Center, sent a threatening letter in 2011 to another Wichita
doctor who was training to offer abortions, the lawsuit also highlights Dillard's relationship with Scott Roeder, the man convicted of fatally shooting Tiller at the physician's church.
When Roeder opened fire on Tiller, he propelled himself to icon status among abortion opponent extremists — a status that hasn't wavered since he was sentenced to life in prison. A leader in the Army of God, which supports violence against abortion doctors, notes Roeder gets more correspondence than other imprisoned anti-abortion activists.
Hailed by militant anti-abortion forces as a "prisoner of Christ," Roeder has been spreading his radical views from a Kansas prison. Other extremists have gravitated to Roeder, visiting him in prison, sending him money and offering legal advice, court documents show.
Abortion rights supporters fear a disturbing pattern whereby
imprisoned abortion opponents inspire others to commit further acts of violence against abortion providers and clinics. But radical anti-abortion activists contend the government is trying to suppress "serious opposition" to abortion by targeting Dillard.
"We are always concerned when extremists are getting together and spreading hate and encouraging others to engage in criminal activity," said Vicki Saporta, executive director of the National Abortion Federation, the professional association representing abortion providers.
A federal grand jury began investigating in 2010 whether Tiller's murder was connected to a larger case involving radical anti- abortion activists. Though no public charges have been filed, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Dena Iverson, said the investigation is still open.
The lawsuit against Dillard
was filed in April 2011 under a federal law aimed at protecting access to reproductive services. It seeks a court order keeping her from coming within 250 feet of the doctor, along with damages of $5,000 and a civil penalty of $15,000. The case is scheduled for trial in October.
Dillard had been under government scrutiny even before she mailed the letter to the Wichita doctor, and the FBI had interviewed her several times after she first wrote Roeder in prison.
Dillard is now claiming "ministerial privilege" in refusing to answer the government's questions about that relationship. Her attorney, Donald McKinney, argued his client's religious ministry is protected by the First Amendment. But defense filings in her case made public jail records detailing more than a dozen visits and deposits totalling $373 she made to Roeder's inmate fund between April 2010 and March 2012. Those documents showed contributions from others.
"I think they just wanted to check us out and make sure that we weren't nuts who were planning to pick up where they think Roeder left off," Dillard told The Associated Press in 2009, adding that she and her husband had no plans to "do anything of violence to anyone" and wanted to minister to Roeder. Dillard also said she admired Roeder and developed a friendship with him.
The ongoing support for Roeder also is apparent in the appeal of his murder conviction. Seven abortion opponents who asked in 2010 and 2011 to file friend-of-the-court briefs were spurned without comment by the Kansas Supreme Court. Other activists are now writing legal briefs for Roeder to file himself, arguing Tiller's death was necessary, to defend the unborn. No oral arguments are scheduled in his appeal.

'Smart gun' triggers debate
But when the White House called for pushing ahead with such new technology as part of President Obama's plan to cut gun violence, the administration did not mention the concept's embattled past. As with so much else in the nation's long-running divisions over gun rights and regulation, what sounds like a futuristic vision is, in fact, an idea that has been kicked around for years, sidelined by intense suspicion, doubts about feasibility and pressure tactics.
NEW YORK — It sounds, at first, like a bold, next-generation solution: personalizing guns with technology that keeps them from firing if they ever get into the wrong hands.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
in the fiery debate over guns,
personalized weapons have long
occupied particularly shaky ground
PAGE 3A
Now proponents of so-called personalized or smart guns are hoping the nation's renewed attention on firearms following the Newtown school massacre will kick start the research and sale of safer weapons. But despite the Obama administration's promise to "encourage the development of innovative gun safety technology," advocates have good reason to be wary.
— an idea criticized both by gun-rights groups and some gun control advocates.
To the gun groups, the idea of using technology to control who can fire a gun smacks of a limitation on personal rights, particularly if it might be mandated by government. At the same time, some gun control advocates worry that such technology, by making guns appear falsely safe, would encourage Americans to stock up on even more weapons than they already have in their homes.
Without the politics, the notion of using radio frequency technology, biometric sensors or other gadgetry in a gun capable of recognizing its owner sounds like something straight out of James Bond. In fact, it is. In the latest Bond flick, "Skyfall", Agent 007's quartermaster passes him a 9 mm pistol coded to his palm print.
"Only you can fire it" the contact tells the agent. "Less of a random killing machine. More of a personal statement."
In real life, though, there's no getting around the politics, and the debate over personalized guns long ago strayed well beyond questions of whether the technology will work.
Colt's Manufacturing Company
developed a gun equipped with a microchip that would prevent it from firing unless the user was wearing an enabling device located in a special wristband. But gun rights activists were skeptical, partly because the government was funding research of the concept and because gun control advocates embraced it.
Mike Bazinet, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents gun manufacturers, said questions remain about whether the technology has been improved enough to assure police officers and civilians a personalized weapon would fire when they need protection. But there are also concerns "about individual consumers' ability to choose the firearm that they think is best for them," Bazinet said.
The White House has promised to issue a report on the technology and award prizes to companies that come up with innovative and cost-effective personalized guns, and its interest has rejuvenated hopes that the gun of the future may actually have one.

Human trafficking talk to be held at University
The University will host a conference about human trafficking on Thursday. The Office of the Chancellor, Gov. Sam Brownback, the School of Law, the Office of Graduate Military Programs and the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department all host this event.
The conference will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium with a keynote speech by Kevin Bales. It will continue on Friday and include group discussions.
"This has been going on for decades but more so now because it's now more pervasive," said Hannah Britton, director of the Center for International Political Analysis. "There's been more focus and attention from world leaders and the state level."
Britton said human trafficking is one of Brownback's key issues. According to a recent news release, Brownback announced that he will ask the legislature to strengthen Kansas' human trafficking statutes.
"KU is in a very good position to deal with this both domestically and internationally." Britton said. "We have a rich history as a free state and today KU has significant research in migration and equality and social justice so because of this, it lets us do international research as well."

POLITICS
East Asia vital to Obama's new term
Inaugural festivities concluded last week, but any opinionated observer can point out that President Obama's real second-term challenges are just beginning. Instead of listing looming battles or bemoaning our political divisions, I'd like to reflect on a situation not too different from today's polarized political sphere. Before supporters began trekking to Pennsylvania Avenue, the North Korean government decided to spark some fireworks of its own by launching a satellite into space on Dec. 12. Although the move's news coverage couldn't match play-by-plays of the inaugural parade route or First Family's wardrobe, North Korea achieved its objective of making waves internationally — without actually sending the Unha-3 rocket splashing into the ocean.
Although politicians disagree on nearly every political question, at least the pundits can agree politics lacks bipartisan cooperation. In fact, the Huffington Post reported the 112th Congress passed fewer pieces of legislation than any other Congress since the 1940s. Partisan divides might seem overwhelming, but they're
not nearly as deep as disputes between North and South Korea
Compromise seems impossible; each side portrays itself as the legislator government of a future reunified peninsula. Just weeks before the satellite launch, Royal United Services Institute researcher Andrea Berger met with North Korean military personnel to discuss the nuclear program; the officials all blamed hostile U.S. policies for the build up. In turn, South Korea and the United States blame North Korean provocations for tough military postures. Like in Washington D.C., as long as each side can deflect responsibility it can avoid tackling shared challenges.
By Amanda Gress
agress@kansan.com
Countries and political parties can't always act in a unified way; individuals deviate from agreed-upon strategies. In Congress it might be a single representative publicly disagreeing with the party line; in the case of Korea it happened to be self-appointed diplomats. In early January, former New Mexican Gov. Bill Richardson and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt jettied to the North Korean capital
Pyongyang to meet with national leaders. Their visit wasn't directed by the White House foreign policy team. The State Department described the visit's timing as "not helpful," while a less diplomatic John McCain called the gentlemen "useful idiots" on Twitter. This kind of political stunt can dominate media commentary and prompt equally dramatic responses, so skilled politicians must ensure the broader dialogue remains on track.
That's easier said than done, as journalists and politicians often magnify the potential downside of any particular event. Just observe negotiations building to a crescendo as a new deadline looms. Some analysts predicted the North Korean satellite launch would immediately destabilize East Asia while South Korea.
Japan, China and the United States conducted power transitions. However, the Global Security Newswire interviewed experts who concluded that North Korea did not yet represent a credible threat. One even described the Unha technology as "a baby satellite launcher." Viewing challenges realistically can allow leaders to resist inflammatory rhetoric and frankly come to agreement about what should be done.
Of course, we assume our leaders inform themselves to understand the underlying structures that endanger political projects of motivate international actors. Chinese support remains essential to the success of Kim Jong-Un and the North Korean state. Chinese economic assistance and trade props up the North Korean economy, and China's global status can shield North Korea from international pressure. Absent Chinese cooperation, leaders cannot expect success engaging or sanctioning the North Korean regime. In the past this cooperation between the United States and China has been notably absent.
If one understands that basic reality, then the news that emerged as the Obama attended their Inaugural Ball becomes incredibly significant in the context of the ongoing Korean conflict. China and the United States managed to agree within the United Nations to expand sanctions against North Korea. For the first time China signaled "regret" for North Korea's progression toward nuclear weapons capability. The U.S. and China each gave up portions of their initial proposals, but by ignoring irrelevant political posturing and seeking out clear understandings two rival powers are working together toward a common goal. So before throwing our hands up in the air and declaring the incoming Congress incompetent, grid-locked, and ultimately doomed, keep an eye on East Asia.
The lesson? Progress can happen, even among unlikely partners.

Simplicity the secret to completing resolutions
The typical New Year resolutions of "be healthier,
"I be happy," or "get better grades" end not to work. They sound nice, of course, but very quickly into the year we find out we couldn't actually carry on with them, and we end up not changing much of our behavior.
When we realize we haven't changed anything it is easy to blame our lack of willpower, or our laziness. We usually tell ourselves we didn't work hard enough. That's possible. But here is the truth: the secret to New Year resolutions that produce results is not to work harder, but to make smarter resolutions.
If your New Year resolutions always work, no need to keep reading. But if you think you can use some extra help, I will show you a way of fixing the problem. All we need are two simple rules.
These two rules are based on two principles thought out by a modern-day American management guru and an Italian sociologist and economist. The rules are measurability and simplicity. And if you apply them to your New Year resolutions, I guarantee your results will be better than they
have ever been.
The American guy is Peter Drucker, and the principle behind measurability is his famous quote, "what gets measured, gets managed." So, rather than make broad, hard-to-measure resolutions, we use measurability to make our goals clear and easy to stick to. Here is an example: my girlfriend's resolution was to have more energy. But, damn, that is a broad goal. To make it measurable, she focused on what changes she could make to have more energy. Those boiled down to sleep, exercise and eating healthy. Because she does most of the healthy hippie stuff you are supposed to do (daily yoga, eating vegetarian and whatnot), she decided she would specify the resolution to sleep more. Definitely a smarter resolution. But to make it truly measurable, she changed it to be in bed at 10 p.m. on weekdays. Bingo! The resolution is now specific and measurable. She is already sleeping more, and wakes up with more energy.
By Arnobio Morelix
amorelix@kansan.com
Measurability is a pretty good rule. But when we are making very specific goals, it is easy to choose a lot of them, and make
it complex. For instance, my girlfriend could have decided to go to bed at 10 p.m., exercise twice a day, eat healthier foods, and do more yoga. The problem is: there are a beck of lot of goals to keep track of. And when we are overwhelmed with a complex resolution, lack of simplicity quickly becomes lack of action. So we use another rule to power-up measurability.
This second rule is simplicity. To simplify our resolutions, we use the help of the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He is the guy who came up with the Pareto Law, which states that 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of the causes. This tends to hold true in economics (80 percent of the wealth is owned by roughly 20 percent of the individuals), but also in our personal life (80
percent of the fun is packed in 20 percent of the days, or 80 percent of the homework is given by 20 percent of the teachers). Using the Pareto Law and the measurability principle we can transform our broad, difficult resolutions in a handful of specific and simple goals. Here is an example on how you can do it.
I have been reading a lot of Buddhist texts recently, and decided I could use some extra positivity in my life. My initial resolution was to be more positive. I am sure you can see the problem with it: too broad, yet too complex at the same time. Because I tend to be pretty positive about myself (you know, I buy into a lot of that "I am awesome" self-help stuff), I decided to be more specific on the goal. So I changed it to "only say positive things about other people." Cool: much more specific. I still needed to simplify it, though. So I decided to give away a dollar to the person I am talking to every time I say something negative about anyone. Sweet: specific, measurable and simple resolution
After some time, you start seeing the beauty of the Pareto Law.
Just a few weeks after starting the resolution I have lost some money, of course, but I have also held my tongue many times to not talk smack on other people (including basketball players playing against us), and noticed an overall increase in positivity. Changing this simple, single behavior has made me a more positive person overall on both my words and thoughts.
We are about a month into the New Year now, and most of us have done very little towards the resolutions we so excited made not long ago. More importantly, if we make the same kind of resolutions we did last year, we will invariably get the same bad results.
Give these two rules a shot. It is easy to try, and it just might make your year (and maybe the years after) a whole lot better.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I read the article on which animated sitcom is better, "Family Guy" or "The Simpsons." I was shocked and appalled. I understand everyone has their own opinion, and I respect that. However, you have no idea what you are talking about. Let me show you why that is not an opinion, but a fact. Let me assess what I gathered from your article.
First, you note the similarities between the families, which are comprised of a good mother, an alcoholic father, two older children, and a baby. Let the record show, the baby's name is Maggie, not Lisa. Lisa is one of the two "older children" who are actually in elementary school. Second, you say "Family Guy" is more clever and original...it catches the attention of the sitcom's target audience, which is clearly adult humor". Primarily, adult humor is not an audience, it's a style of humor directed towards young adult males, such as yourself. Secondly, if it weren't for "The Simpsons", "Family Guy"
"The Simpsons"; "Family Guy" wouldn't exist. It was one of the
Whether you are smart or dumb, young or old, American or not, "The Simpsons" is funny. That's what makes it a better sitcom.
Third, you say that the creators of "Family Guy" are more successful. Seth MacFarlane has three shows, and one film. Matt Groening, whom your article fails to mention, has two shows, at least one movie, and twelve Emmys, (ten from "The Simpsons" and two from "Futurama") while MacFarlane has two. "The Simpsons" has 27 and "Family Guy" has four.
You don't have to like the show, but learn to respect it, because it's probably one of the greatest shows ever.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 9
Back to work, big time, especially for the next phase. Maintain objectivity. And ignore fear, or at least use it to your advantage.
There will be resistance, and you'll be stronger for it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 9
Be cautious where others are impetuous. Your creativity helps you solve the problem. You're entering a cuddly phase. Things fall together for you today and tomorrow.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is an 8
The next few days are good for domestic projects, but don't rush into making choices. Double-check data and make sure a partner agrees. Compassion goes a long way.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 7
You're even smarter than usual. You may have to decline an invitation, but consider your decision carefully first. Take future appreciation into account.
Reconsider a risky move, especially around finances. Resist the urge to break things, no matter how justified you feel, and end up on top. Take deep breaths, often.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 9
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6
Assertiveness works well now, but be patient. It works here to have low expectations. Let yourself be surprised. Make a travel or educational plan that fits the budget.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Too many choices can overwhelm and even paralyze. Don't stress about getting the decision right. Trust your intuition, and give yourself permission to change your mind. Be careful traveling now.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
The task ahead seems challenging and maybe even impossible, but you can handle it with a little help from your friends. Consider family opinions, too.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
Open communication and risk-taking produces better results. If at first you fail, be patient. You'll get there soon enough. Tinkering is required. Be nice to everyone to avoid jealousies.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 6
As you travel the twisty road, look into the distance to see obstacles ahead. Save out some for unexpected expenses. A rebellion flares and your direction may change.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Don't buy trash; it'd be a waste of money. Invest instead in ideas that make the world a better place. Plant a seed through dialogue. You'll figure out the costs.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Family matters vie with work for your attention. At the end, your relationships count double. See that your actions support your environment in the long run. Add love.

Television favorites to revisit on Netflix
TELEVISION
BRETT PHILLIPPE bphillippe@kansan.com
With the middle of the television season upon us, I, like many of you, have often wondered what would be the best way to catch up on my favorite series. If you are behind on shows such as "Breaking Bad," "How I Met Your Mother" and many other iconic shows that are entering their final year, Netflix provides the best way to catch up on your shows. With Netflix, we have hundreds of shows that we could re-watch, get caught up on or even watch for the first time. The big question to ask then is, "What should we be watching?" Luckily, I have an answer for you. I spent my hard-earned winter break narrowing it down to three shows that you should be watching on Netflix to get up to date in time for the new seasons, or at the very least give you something very entertaining to enjoy with some friends.
1. Arrested Development: This short-lived show, which originally aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006,
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

I have.
follows the infamous Bluth family, specifically the son Michael, as he attempts to keep the family business afloat and deal with his dysfunctional family. Starring Jason Batman, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, and more, it is a cult favorite among many, although it only lasted a few seasons. Not only is it ridiculously funny and well-written, but it's been revived on Netflix for one more season starting in early May. This gives you all the more reason to either watch it for the first time, or re-watch it for the second or third time, like

2. Freaks and Geeks: Another cult favorite among many, Freaks and Geeks follows a group of high school students in the 1980s as they deal with relationships, drugs and trying to fit in. What makes this show stick out more than anything is the writing and the cast, Written and created by the now famous Judd Appatow, Freaks and Geeks has a star-studded cast that includes James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and even Shihah Lebouf. Although it only lasted for one season, it did launch the careers of some of today's biggest stars and remains a fan favorite.
Difficulty Level ★
1/28
3. Firefly: The final show that deserves mention is "Firefly," another short-lived cult hit. As a show, it stands out because of what it did for the careers of those involved in the project. Directed and created by the ever-popular Loss Whedon, who went on to direct "The Avengers," it follows the adventures of the crew of the spaceship "Serenity" almost 500 years in the future. This show was only on for 14 episodes and starred Nathan Fillion, but spawned a great film that goes right along with it, aptly titled, "Serenity."
MUSIC
So there you go. Three great television shows on Netflix that deserve a watch or a re-watch, especially if you enjoy familial dysfunction, teenage angst, and spaceships. It just goes to show that there are great, smart shows still out there to sink your teeth into.

Why director J.J. Abrams reached for the 'Star Wars'
After four months of rampant speculation and corporate Jedi mind tricks, Disney's search for the new "Star Wars" filmmaker ended with a choice that seemed both surprising and curiously inevitable. J.J. Abrams, the MacGuffin-loving creative force behind "Super 8" and the small-screen sci-fi hits "Lost" and "Fringe," has officially been entrusted with returning audiences to a galaxy far, far away by 2015.
In retrospect, the identity of the Chosen One should have been obvious. After all, Abrams, who directed 2009's "Star Trek" and its forthcoming sequel "Star Trek: Into Darkness" for Paramount, has a proven track record when it comes to resuscitating dormant franchises. Even hardcore Trekkies will admit that the series had fallen on hard times, having reached an all-time creative nadir with the release of the poorly received "Star Trek: Nemesis" in 2002, the same year "Star Wars" fans were being treated to a teenaged Anakin Skywalker's profound dissertation on the coarseness of sand in "Attack of the Clones."
By Landon McDonald
lmeddonald@kansan.com
Abrams changed all that. His "Trek" reboot, the most commercially and critically lauded film in the franchise's history, re-fashioned the originals' utopian vision of a future distinguished by exploration and interstellar cooperation into a
rollicking, action-heavy space opera whose plot owed more allegiance to Joseph Campbell and George Lucas than Gene Roddenberry. Honestly, Abrams "Star Trek" often felt more like "Star Wars" than any of Lucas' sterile, goofy prequels (with the exception of "Revenue of the Sith", whose merits I will always happily defend).
The similarities don't end with story structure. In Abrams' version, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) is reintroduced as a Luke Skywalker-Han Solo hybrid, a cocksure scoundrel pressured to join Starfleet as a way of measuring up to the legend of an absent father. Zachary Quinto's seething, guilt-ridden Spock, traumatized by the Alderaan-style destruction of his homeworld Vulcan, is light-years away from Leonard Nimoy's serene, mannered logician, who appears for an Obi-Wan-esque extended cameo thanks to a space-time continuity fluke brought on by the vengeful Romulan Nero (Eric Bana). There's also a greater emphasis on the pliable nature of fate: "You are fully
capable of deciding your own destiny," Spock's father tells him. "The question you face is: which path will you choose?" Sound familiar, this does?
For Abrams, an avowed "Star Wars" fanboy since childhood (even his earliest films are littered with TIE Fighter models and references galore), the temptation to blend mythologies was probably too much to resist. "Star Trek: Into Darkness," scheduled for release this May, looks to continue the comparisons by channeling "The Empire Strikes Back" and its legacy of dark revelations, deeper characterizations and higher emotional stakes. Want proof? Look no further than the newest trailer, where Benedict Cumberbatch's mysterious villain John Harrison unleashes a Sith-worthy swathe of destruction on Starfleet Headquarters before cryptically referring to the Enterprise crew as his "family."
So the question remains: what can we expect from a "Star Wars" directed by J.J. Abrams? Many fans have expressed their fear that the new film, still tentatively titled "Episode VII," will look and sound too much like the recent "Trek" movies, effectively blurring the lines of demarcation between the two most contentious camps in all of pop culture.
As for me, I just hope the new movie manages to produce a

sequence as intense and granny moving as the opening scene of Abrams' first "Star Trek," where Kirk's father George (a pre-"Thor" Chris Hemsworth) heroically sacrifices himself in battle while allowing his wife to give birth to the future Captain. With acclaimed screenwriter Michael Arndt ("Little Miss Sunshine," "Toy Story 3") penning the "Episode VII" script, such poignancy seems very likely. Could a similar end be lying in wait for an aging Han Solo?
Wars" fan is comparable to choosing between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; your answer speaks volumes about who you are as a person. Taken from this perspective, Abrams' decision to leave "Trek" for its rival franchise is exciting but also inherently reckless; a development guaranteed to court chaos and rouse the slumbering ire of the geek gods, "Cabin in the Woods" style. Don't be surprised if we soon hear tell of an Ewok born with the pointed ears of a Vulcan.

A$AP Rocky rises to potential with first full-length album
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Over the past year and a halt A$AP Rocky has become one of the biggest name in rap. In October of 2011 A$AP Rocky released his stellar debut mixtape "Live.Love.A$AP". The great success of the mixtape led to his eventual $3 million deal with RCA. After several release date push backs, A$AP Rocky finally delivers his first piece of full-length album material.
One of the biggest draws to "Live.Love.A$AP" was the great production throughout the album. For the most part, "Long. Live.A$AP" doesn't disappoint when it comes to production. A$AP Rocky has quite the ear for beats, and it shows on this album.
ASAP ROCKY LONG.LIVE ASAP
Rocky connects with longtime collaborator Clams Casino on a couple of tracks. He also hooks up with new producers as well
A$AP Rocky sticks with his signature style of a mixture of southern rap and traditional New York rap, but he improves on it in nearly every way. A$AP Rocky isn't known as the most impressive lyricist out there, but
as producing a few tracks himself. The only major flaw in production is the track "Wild for the Night" produced by Skrillex. In the track, Skrillex brings his signature dubstep sound while Rocky sounds incredibly awkward rhyming over the beat.
he impresses on several tracks on the album, such "Phoenix," "Suddenly" and the title track, "Long.Live.A$AP"
"Long.Live.A$AP" also contains some pretty impressive features. A$AP Rocky works with a wide range of artists on the album, including frequent collaborator Schoolboy Q. A$AP Rocky, and Schoolboy have great chemistry and it shows on "PMW"
"Long.Live.A$AP" is a great album, with A$AP Rocky capitalizing on the potential and promise he showed in his first mixtape.
The album also has a fantastic star-studded track which features several artists including Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf and Danny Brown.

Track team dominates at final indoor meet
For a team that might be No. 1 in the country Monday, the Kansas Jayhawks didn't look the part after Saturday's win against Oklahoma.
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Senior center Jeff Withey pondered his impressive performance with his chin resting on his hand.
Then there was senior guard Elijah Johnson.
From the tone of his voice and his body language, he seemed discouraged after his four turnovers.
couraged him his own runners.
In the first half of the game,
both Johnson and sophomore
guard Naadir Tharpe seemed to
have difficulty bringing the ball up
the court.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore had the same look he always has on his young face, occasionally cracking his now signature smile.
Oklahoma's pressure was nothing new, but the guards still couldn't handle it.
Kansas has obvious problems that need taken care of offensively, but the team still showed some crucial tenants of defense that will help keep them alive the rest of the season.
Kansas held Oklahoma to its lowest scoring half of the season with 21 points.
The Jayhawks held the Sooners to 35.6 percent shooting for the game.
And the most important point for the Kansas defense is that it has Jeff Withey. Nobody else in the country has Jeff Withey.
Withey a distinctive, athletic talent that will help guide Kansas through its difficult lows.
So now this team is getting used to the idea of being No. 1 while going into uncharted territories.
That's not a quality many big men in college basketball have in their arsenal.
- It's a place the Kansas basketball team has not yet played.
- However, an adversary Coach Self is familiar with in West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.
- The Huggy Bear's squad will come out playing fast and desperately; it needs a win to even think about the NIT.
: The Mountaineers know one of the ways they can do that is pull off a big upset against one of the top teams in the country.
"He's a unique player in not only our league, but (all of) college basketball in terms of the fact that you don't play against those types of players that often," Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. "He erases any mistakes on the perimeter, plus he guards his own guy inside." Here's that last line again: He erases any mistakes on the perimeter, plus he guards his own guy inside.
The Jayhawks move on to their next opponent in Morgantown, W.Va.
"I'll be a very physical game, probably one of the more physical games that we'll play this year," Self said on Saturday.
But at the moment, there's a consensus among the Kansas players and coach. They don't care about being No.1 in late January.
Self takes it a step further when asked about being the No. 1 team.
"No. Nor are we deserving.
You know somebody's got to be it though."

Kansas has now played seven games of its 18-game Big 12 regular season schedule. Every game is just as important as the last, or next, to the standings.
But the 65-52 loss that Kansas suffered to No. 12 Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday night seemed to have an extra sense of importance for the Jayhawks going in. The two teams entered the matchup tied
in the Big 12 standings.

On offense, Kansas struggled to get its post players shots against the 2-3 zone defense of Oklahoma State. Kansas had fewer shot opportunities because of its rebounding disadvantage, but also wasted more possessions with turnovers.

of the season, she said the day before her team dropped another game to the Cowgirls, this time by 13 in a loss that was perhaps even more frustrating.
"Basketball is a game of possessions," Henrickson said after her team committed 18 turnovers against the zone defense. "Some of those were forced, but most of them were unforced."
Kansas coaches had a plan on how to stop the high-powered OSU offense, and the players executed for the most part. The problem was the 12 offensive rebounds the Jayhawks allowed after OSU misses.
"We knew their sets" senior point guard Angel Goodrich said. "And we stopped their sets, but it was just them getting the second chance shots, the third chance shots. They were getting
ANGEL GOODRICH senior guard
This season was supposed to be a special one for the women's basketball program at Kansas. The Jayhawks returned all but one player
from the team that reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last season, and Carolyn Davis was returning from a torn ACL.
Bonnie Henrickson finally reached an NCAA tournament last season. The Jayhawks began the season with a mix of young talent, senior leadership and tournament experience.
With that in mind, this team was just not supposed to go on losing stretches of 1-4 in the Big 12 this season.
Kansas has played passively and without toughness at times in losing four of its last five
games. Now the Jayhawks risk watching their chances at making a repeat run in the NCAA tournament fade away if they can't get back on track against Iowa State and Kansas State in the next week.
After that, Kansas travels to Baylor, where a victory is as close to impossible as they get.
The disappointment was audible through the voice of Angel Goodrich as she spoke to the media after the loss to Oklahoma State.
"I just think we weren't as aggressive as they were," Angel Goodrich said. "We were passive."
Passive?
That is why this loss, in January against a .500 Big 12 team, was so disappointing.
One loss over the course of an 18-game Big 12 schedule is not the disappointment; it's that a team with such high expectations and abilities could not play aggressively in one of its biggest games of the regular season.
Kansas drops its record to 12-6 on the season and 3-4 in the Big 12 in a game that unraveled a tie in the standings, but has only left more tangled questions about the recent losing stride for the Jayhaws.

Jayhawks make first trip to Morgantown
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
It's Kansas' first ever game against West Virginia at 8 p.m. tonight in Morgantown consisting of a team that's struggling a new conference.
However, it's still not a team that the Jayhawks will take lightly, despite the Mountaineers record of 9-10 and 2-4 in Big 12 play.
"We know that they're a tough team," senior guard Travis Releford said. "We know that they play hard and going up there is always hard on the road. It'll be a fun game we just go to came ready to play."
After making five straight NCAA tournament appearances, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins has struggled to find offensive consistency, but that doesn't mean his team won't put out a maximum effort.
Huggins is also 0-4 all-time against Kansas in more than 30 years of coaching.
"It'll be a very physical game, probably one of the more physical games we'll play this year," Kansas coach Bill self said. "We'll have to play a little bit tougher than we did [Saturday!]."
Self also described West Virginia as a team that will play fast
"I don't think it will feel like a Big 12 game because it's the first time we've been there," Releford said. "Of course it's going to feel a little different, but we've just got to be ready no matter where it's at or how quick the turn-around."
and drive the ball to the basket. He also said the Jayhawks need to be able to move the ball in transition.
"We know that they're a tough team," Releford said. "We know that they play hard and going up there is always hard on the road. It'll be a fun game we just go to came ready to play"
For the Kansas players, they know despite the difficulties of West Virginia, going into WVU Coliseum will be a new opportunity.
Releford has played many Big Monday games, but he's never traveled this far of a distance in conference play.
Most Jayhawks fans are concerned with the team's struggling offense. Shooting 43.6 percent against Oklahoma, including some rough point guard play in the first half, the Jayhawks must rely on being one of the best defensive teams in the country.
One player who continues to struggle is senior guard Elijah Johnson, who is still searching for his stroke this season. He did hit two of his six three-pointers against Oklahoma.
"We're supporting him and coach is keep telling him to keep shooting," Releford said. "He hasn't done anything different or changed anything."
"Our team has got to be a great defensive team to win games," Releford said. "It creates easy
With all these concerns about offense and the difficulty of traveling to a new road destination, being ranked at the top of the polls is farthest from the team's mind going into tonight's game.
baskets for us on the offensive end. We knew coming into this season we were going to have time where we struggled to score and if we get the other team to do the same thing. We rely a lot on our defense."
"Being No. 1 right now, this early in the season, does not matter," Releford said. "We're just focused onto the next game. We're not really worried about who's going to be No. 1 Monday. We're just trying to get better as a team."

O
even more difficult is to maintain the success that everyone expects you to have. As we near the halfway mark of the NBA season, it seems like the traditional superpowers of the league are no longer powerful. The recent struggles of the Boston Celtics and season-long obstacles the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to overcome put these two historically successful franchises in a position that many of us do not usually see.
Time is not on the Celtics' side; the roster is aging. The team must figure out a way to get back to the winning tradition it is used to seeing before it is too late. The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 21, and that may be the only option for them. However, they have no one on their roster they can trade
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
Paul Pierce is likely going to retire as a Celtic and Kevin Garnett is really the only significant big man on the team, so they cannot be traded. The only person the Celtics could realistically trade is Rajon Rondo, but he is one of the best point guards in the league, provides the youth this team needs and just tore his
ACL on Friday.
As far as the Lakers are concerned, they are certainly not looking any better than the Celtics. Looking at their roster on paper, one would think they have the best team in the league. Sadly though, the game is played on the hardwood and not on paper. Entering Sunday's game with a dismal record of 18-25, the Lakers have played the entire season without excitement. It's a team that looks like it doesn't want to win.
To say the Lakers are having a disappointing season would be an understatement, as talks about trading Pau Gasol are circulating again. The problem with that is if Dwight Howard decides to leave after this season, then they will be short on big men. So, do you trade Howard so he doesn't leave the team for free? But
KU
how could you trade someone that could potentially be handed the torch from Kobe Bryant?
There are many questions surrounding both franchises as the second half of the season is approaching, but there aren't enough answers. The unfortunate thing about the situation both teams face is this: All dynasties come to an end.

Celtics overcome Rondo injury to beat Heat in overtime
on Friday night.
BOSTON — Paul Pierce hit a go-ahead jumper with 31 seconds left and the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat 100-98 in double overtime Sunday after learning that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Rondo will have surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He was hurt late in Boston's 123-111 loss, also in two overtures, to the Atlanta Hawks
This game was the first in Boston for Ray Allen since he left the Celtics after five seasons and signed as a free agent with Miami. He scored 21 points.
Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Pierce added 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for the Celtics, who ended a six-game losing streak, their longest in six seasons. LeBron James had 34 points for the Heat, whose winning streak stopped at four.
Pierce's basket gave the Celtics
a 99-98 lead. James had a chance to put the Heat ahead but missed a 12-foot jumper with 6.8 seconds to go from the left with defender Jeff Green jumping out at him. Pierce got the rebound and was fouled by Shane Battier.
He sank the first shot. Then, as a fan shouted "This one's for Rondo," he missed the second.
Miami had one last chance, but Battier missed a long jumper at the buzzer.
The Heat also could have won in the first overtime, but Dwyane
Wade, who had 17 points, also missed a long jumper as the buzzer sounded. They had led 93-89 after consecutive baskets by James, but Garnett hit a layup with 1:45 remaining and a shot from the right baseline with 1:14 to go.
Boston could have avoided the first overtime when Pierce inbounded from behind his backboard with two seconds left to Jason Terry. But Terry's shot from the top of the key was short. The Heat had tied it on a 3-pointer by James with seven seconds remaining in regulation after Allen missed a 3-pointer from the left corner with 15 seconds to go.
Boston coach Doc Rivers did not mention Rondo's injury in his meeting with reporters about an hour before the game, but Courtney Lee started in his place. Doctors decided to keep Rondo out of the game after he went through his normal pregame routine, the Celtics said.
Allen was part of the Big Three with Pierce and Garnett starting in 2007-08. In their first season together, Boston won its 17th NBA championship. He played against the Celtics once before this season, a 120-107 Heat win in Miami in the opener.
The crowd gave Allen a standing ovation when highlights of his career with the Celtics were shown on the video board above center court during a timeout with 5:33 left in the first quarter. At the Miami bench, he raised his left hand in recognition.

Jayhawks find success in season's final indoor meet
COLIN WRIGHT
cwright@kansan.com
The Kansas track and field team faced their toughest test of the indoor season so far when more than forty schools attended the Jayhawk Classic at Anschutz Pavilion on Friday. The meet featured a morning and an evening session for the first time this season.
The women had success both on the track and in the field. Senior Andrea Geubelle continued to impress, winning the triple jump with a jump of 13.45 meters (44-01.5 feet), her best jump of the season. Freshman Anastasia Muchkayev threw the shot put 55-0.75 feet, which is less than one inch away from the school record.
In the pentathlon, the jayhawks one-two punch of sophomore Lindsey Vollmer and senior Rebecca Neville finished first and second, respectively. Vollmer's time broke the record for the pentathlon. Both athletes finished in the top two of each of the five categories: 60 meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800 meters.
In the women's pole vault, junior Demi Payne continued to shine, winning with a vault of 4.25 meters (13-11.25 feet), also her best outing of the season. Sophomore Colleen O'Brien continued her success at Anschutz Pavilion with a personal best jump of 1.77 meters (5-09.75 feet).
In the long jump, a pair of Jayhawks placed first and second. Senior Francine Simpson won the event with a jump of 6.12 meters (20-01.0 feet) and freshman Sydney Conley followed her with a jump of 5.90 meters (19-04.25 feet).
On the track, senior Paris Daniels edged out the rest of the competition in the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.34, just 0.02 away from the building record that she owns. Junior Diamond Dixon held off the competition in the 400 meters to win with a time of 55.66.
The women's distance medley team won the event, as well as the 4x400 team of Daniels, Dixon, senior Denesha Morris and sophomore Alisha Keys. They finished with a time of 3:47.37.
On the men's side, junior Brendan Soucie continued his success in the 800 meter run, winning with a time of 1:54.49. Sophomores Michael Stigler and Kenneth McCuin finished second and third in the 600 yard run with times of 1:11.13 and 1:12.35, respectively.
The Jayhawks continue to dominate in middle distance races, running one-two in the 1000 meters. Junior Josh Munsch won with a time of 2.27.83 and sophomore
Reid Buchanian finished behind him in second place with a time of 2:28.47. Freshman Evan Landes won the 3000 meter run with a score of 8:28.26, his personal best.
The Jayhawks fielded two teams in the distance medley race and they finished first and second. In the 4x400 meter relay, the team of Stigler, McCuin, senior Kyle Clemons and sophomore Michael Hester won the event with a time of 3:16.82.
The Jayhawk Classic was the final home indoor meet of the season. The next time the Jayhawks perform at home will be in the Kansas Relays in an outdoor meet April 17-20. As for now, Kansas will travel to New York next weekend for the Armory Collegiate Invitational.

Woods sharp at Torrey Pines despite fog over weekend
SAN DIEGO — Due to the fog that wiped out an entire day of golf, the Farmers Insurance Open was never going to end on Sunday.

Tiger Woods follows the flight of his drive on the second hole of the South Course at Torrey Pines during the third round of the Tiger Insurance Open golf tournament on Sunday in San Diego.
Tiger Woods just made it look as if it was over.
Hands thrust in the pockets of his rain pants, Woods walked off Torrey Pines in the chill of twilight with a six-shot lead and only 11 more holes standing in the way of winning on the public course along the Pacific Ocean for the eighth time in his pro career.
He drove the ball with super-
control in the third round on his
way to a 3-under 69 to build a
four-shot lead after three rounds.
He lost control with his driver in
the fourth round and still man-
aged three birdies in seven holes.
"All we can do tomorrow is go out and try to make him think about it a little bit and see what happens," said Nick Watney, one
of two former winners at Torrey Pines who faced the tough task of trying to make up six shots on Woods.
"I've got a guy at the top of the leaderboard that doesn't like giving up leads," Snedeker said. "So I have to go catch him."
The other was defending champion Brandt Snedeker.
Woods was at 17-under par for the tournament and will resume his round on the par-3 eighth hole. CBS Sports wants to televise the Monday finish — no surprise with Woods in the lead — so play won't start until p.m. EST.
Snedeker played 13 holes of the final round. Watney played eight holes. Both were at 11 under par.
Woods played 25 holes. He started with a two-shot lead and tripled it before darkness suspended the final round.
"It was a long day ... and I played well today," Woods said. "Overall, I'm very pleased that I was able to build on my lead."
Thick fog washed out all of Saturday, forcing players to go from sunrise to sunset Sunday. They finished the third round, took about 30 minutes for lunch and went right back onto the golf course.
Woods finished 54 holes at 14 under 202 and was four shots ahead of Canadian rookie Brad Fritsch. It was the 16th time in his PGA Tour career that Woods had a 54-hole lead of at least four shots.
Woods has a 49-4 record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead, and it's even more daunting when the lead is his alone. The only two players to come from behind to beat him over the final 18 holes were Ed Fiori in the Quad City Classic in 1996 when Woods was a 20-year-old rookie, and Y.E. Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship a Hazeltine.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
KU AT A GLANCE
How unusual is this stretch of poor offense for Kansas? It's the lowest five-game scoring stretch since the 1981-82 season. Kansas coach Bill Self likes his teams to be able to grind out wins, but sooner or later the offense is going to need to turn on.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Naadir Tharpe. Guard
As long as Eliah Johnson continues to struggle, his backup, Naadir Tharpe, will keep getting chances to prove himself. Tharpe has provided a spark for the Jayhawks coming off the bench and is always a threat to pull up for a 3-pointer.

Young also bounced back from a lackluster outfall at K-State with three steals, five rebounds and six points against Oklahoma. Most importantly, he got back to his energetic ways and helped keep the Jahyhaws alive on offense.
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Conference play has not brought out the best in Johnson. Since the start of Big 12 play, Johnson has not had a game with more than four made field goals. The Jayhawks' offensive woes certainly begin with him.
KU

Reelford is the best defender on a team that has been living off its defense for the last six games. Not only has he shut down the opponent's best player every game, but he has done so without getting into foul trouble.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
★★★★★
★★★☆☆
There is only one thing to gripe about from McLemore's performance against Oklahoma. He should never take only four shots in a half. McLemore is the most natural scorer the jayhawks boast and he needs to get aggressive and start shooting like it. But give the kid credit, he still ended up leading Kansas with 18 points.

DENZI KILICLI, FORWARD
The senior from Turkey has turned into one of the more consistent scorers for West Virginia through his career.

He's a player with a unique skill set that can cause match-up problems against certain opponents.
Kilicli

ERON HARRIS, GUARD
One of the more crucial players for any of West Virginia's success this season, Harris continues to keep West Virginia competing in games. Harris led all Mountainer scorers in the game against Oklahoma State when he amassed 17 points. He also made five of eight 3-pointers in West Virginia's loss in Stillwater over the weekend. Harris continues to be one of the more consistent players with a team that is struggling on the offensive end of the floor.
★★★★
GARY BROWNE, GUARD
The sophomore from Puerto Rico played 23 minutes in the game against Oklahoma State and scored six points. This season, Browne is averaging 7.1 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game. Browne has also played with the Puerto Rican national team in the past and has some experience playing against some of the top point guards in the Big East and Big 12.

WEST VIRGINIA TIPOFF
WV
AT A GLANCI
Kansas travels to Morgantown with a four game lead over West Virginia in the conference standings. At the moment, the Mountaineers are in seventh place in a very down Big 12. There have been reports of frustration and some difficult practices around Bob Huggins' program in recent weeks as they attempt to save the season. If West Virginia can pull off this upset it will need great defense from all parts of the floor and will have to make outside shots. It looks grim for West Virginia.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Eron Harris, Guard
Harris
(1)
Harris remains the leading scoreer for the Mountaineers and really one of the only true threats to score consistently. Harris has led the team in scoring the last three
games. Harris also has eight games in double figures this year, shooting 46.3 percent. He's also averaging just fewer than 16 points in the past four match-ups.
QUESTION MARK
Can West Virginia actually pull off the upset?
The answer to this question is yes, because Kansas has never played in Morgantown before. You never know how a team will respond to a new road environment, but Bill Self's teams enjoy playing on the road. West Virginia beat a Top 3 ranked team at WVU Coliseum when they defeated UCLA on Feb. 10, 2007. It still will be a difficult task with two teams struggling on the offensive end of the floor.
BY THE NUMBERS
719 - Career wins for Bob Hu
Career wins for Bob Huggins. Currently he's tied with legendary University of Texas El Paso head coach Don Haskins at 19th place.
37-1 - The record of the Mountaineers under Bob Huggins when shooting 50 percent or higher.
80.7
307 - The percentage of time that West Virginia wins when an opponent visits for the first time.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Somehow Kansas' offense gets worse than it already has been over the last five games. As Mike Vernon pointed out in his story on Saturday for the Topeka Capitol-Journal, "The Jayhawks have averaged 62.2 points in their past five outings, the lowest-scoring five-game stretch since Bill Self has been at Kansas. In fact, it's the lowest five-game stretch since the 1981-82 season when Ted Owens was Kansas' coach." If Kansas plays this game in the 50s, it could be ugly.

game in
For the second straight game, Kansas' defense goaded the opponent's leading scorer into a poor shooting performance, helping the No. 3 Jayhawks defeat the Oklahoma Sooners 67-54 Saturday to extend its nation-leading winning streak to 17 games.
Oklahoma senior forward Romero Osby entered the contest averaging a team-best 14.5 points per game and shooting 53 percent from the field. He scored a career-high 29 points in the Sooners' last outing against Texas and led Oklahoma in scoring in its previous five games.
But he hadn't played against Jeff Withey yet this season.
"He has good timing. You try to get him off the floor with your pump fakes and he just stays down," Osby said. "He always bothers people, but I think I kind of let
it get in my head a little bit that I had missed a couple of shots."
Obsy tied for Oklahoma's scoring lead with 12 points, but he shot only four of 16 from the floor. He made only his fourth 3-pointer of the year against Kansas and tried taking long jumpers to get Withey away from the basket.
When those didn't work, Osby resorted to taking the ball back down low. But Withey refused to bite on Osby's pump fakes, leaving the Sooner with few options.
"It is frustrating because that's what our coaches teach us. That's what we work on every day in practice is getting people in the air with pump fakes." Osby said. "When you get down there and the guy does it and he just stands his ground, stands his ground and he's standing on top of you its kind of frustrating."
Withey finished with 13 points and nine rebounds. More importantly, he was one of Kansas' best
defenders, swatting four shots and nabbing three steals to tie senior forward Kevin Young for the team lead in steals. It was Withey's highest block total since conference play began.
In Kansas' outing in Manhattan last Tuesday, the Jayhawks held Kansas State's star guard Rodney McGruder to 13 points four of 12 in shooting.
All four of his blocks came in the first half, and one of them was against Osby. He said he noticed Osby became more passive offensively after his block.
"I think he was a little hesitant to shoot the ball," Withey said. "I might have blocked him in the first half kind of early and might have got to his head, but I'm not sure."
Although McGruder plays on the perimeter while Osby plays in the paint, Sooners coach Lon Kruger said Withey's value comes from his ability to affect the offense of players he isn't even assigned to
guard.
"He erases any mistakes on the perimeter plus he guards his own guy inside and not only blocks a lot of shots but changes a lot of shots and does that to a lot of people," Kruger said.
And in a game that featured another drowsy performance from Kansas in its hallcourt offense, Withey's defensive effort helped Kansas create a transition offense. The Jayhawks scored five points from Withey's blocks and seven points from his steals.
"The mistakes we made in the first half, he erased a lot of them, which led to points," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We didn't really do much offensively at all but we got easy baskets off of his defense when we did get out and run."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND
Despite better shooting percentage, lack of aggressive defensive play in the second half leads to Jayhawk loss
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
It was a game of two opposite halves for the Kansas Jayhawks, especially of grabbing rebounds on the defensive end.
The Jayhawks' aggressive play on the boards fell to the wayside in the second half. In the first half, the Jayhawks held the Oklahoma State Cowgirls to just three rebounds, but in the second half, the Cowgirls grabbed 12 offensive rebounds in the 65-52 Jayhawk loss.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the Cowgirls wanted the ball more and the lajhwacks were flatfooted on multiple possessions, allowing the Cowgirls to grab multiple offensive rebounds and secure extra possessions for Oklahoma State.
"It's an intentional effort to go back to hit someone and win a battle with your guy," Henrickson said. "We're a team right now that pivots and watches and walks. And they just flew from the three-point line and got a great read on the rebound, and we didn't go make contact. You have to go and hit somebody. We talk about win the battle with your guy, and we did not do that. They ran right by us to rebound."
Cowgirl head coach Jim Littell said he challenged the team to make a conscious effort to attack the glass after a miss at halftime. It was a challenge that the visiting team accepted and ended up being the difference in the Cowgirls' victory.
"We were getting blocked out in the first half, and we were staying blocked out," Littell said. "We challenged our players at halftime to be more relentless, have a better effort doing it and if you got blocked out initially, swim off of that and give a second effort going to the boards. We challenged some people saying this is going to be the difference in getting a road win or not. And our team responded. We took it as a
priority at halftime and that was the difference in halftime."
Oklahoma State senior forward Toni Young entered the game averaging 9.5 rebounds per game and 4.1 offensive rebounds within that total. She didn't disappoint on the glass, grabbing six offensive rebounds out of her total of 15 rebounds.
With Young leading the charge, the Cowgirls out-rebounded the Jayhawks 15 to eight on the offensive glass and 39-32 all together on the boards.
Kansas senior point guard Angel Goodrich said the team wasn't as aggressive in the second half, and it allowed Young and company to take over the game.
"We weren't as aggressive as they were. We were passive. Our defense wasn't bad the first shot, but the second, the second shot got offensive rebounds and put it back," Goodrich said.
The Cowgirls got nine points from the offensive glass in the second half when getting just two points in the same situation in the first half.
Kansas sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner, who grabbed nine rebounds, said the team was slacking after the first shot of possessions.
"I think we were slacking on the defensive end on their offensive boards, and we didn't box out like we should," Gardner said.
Despite the Jayhaws having a better shooting percentage, 42.3 percent to 40.3 percent, the difference in the game came on the second chance opportunity. The opportunities for the Cowgirls allowed them to grab the victory.
"We have to win the battle with our guy. If we can't get it, they don't get it. We didn't do that too well in the game," Goodrich said.

Watkins Memorial Health Center explores options to expand space
EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
"What's driving this is our desire to give students the best we can from that space."
Frank DeSalvo
Associate Vice Provost for Student Success
Watkins
elegault@kansan.com
Although there won't be any major renovations or construction crews occupying Watkins Memorial Health Center in the near future, the building could undergo some changes and some shifting of services.
Diana Malott, associate director of Student Health Services, said the physical therapy department had recently been downsized, and further consolidation of clinical services on the first floor is another possibility. This combination would allow for extra space on the second floor that other groups could potentially use.
"We're still investigating and exploring options on other departments within the University that might need some space, either temporarily or permanently, that might fit within both the mission of the building and the space that we may have available," she said.
In order to explore that possibility, Student Health Services has had to examine the will of Elizabeth Watkins, who funded construction of the building through her trust.
"Her will specifies what can and can not occupy this building," Malott said. "It made us realize that going to outside groups or someone outside the University or even a part of the University that's not tied to wellness of some kind or student benefit might be difficult because it would not really meet the terms of her will."
Groups wanting to occupy the building must be health-related and beneficial for students and can't disturb or detract from the services already being provided by the center.
"Space is at a premium here
on the campus," Malott said. "We just want to make sure that they're aware of ours, and we've tried to do that so that they know that we would be happy to host other departments if it works out for them and they fit well within our mission as well."
“What's driving this is our desire to give the students the best we can from that space,” he said. “If it's not going to be used for health care, then let's possibly look at generating some money that we can then direct toward the health care.”
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for Student Success, said there are some "obvious connections" between the health center and other departments and that renting the space could benefit students either directly or indirectly.
The Student Health Advisory Board is one of Student Health Services' outlets to get feedback and suggestions and to implement them. Natasha Kothari, a senior from Overland Park and board chair, said the occupation of the second floor had not yet been discussed because the board is currently beginning the revision of the student health fee.
Malott said the needs of the building as well as the needs of students are being considered as they look at what direction to take in the future.
"As the student representatives in this decision-making process, we take this duty very seriously in the hopes that we can provide students with a financially viable option that does not compromise the quality of our services," Kothari said.
"It's what we're going to need and what the students want that will help dictate what we do," she said. "There are some shifting services, but were trying to stay with what the students need and expect from their health service."

EMMA LEGAULT
For hundreds of young girls around the country, competing in the Miss America pageant in front of an audience of millions is a dream for the future.
elegault@kansan.com
For Sloane Lewis, it became a reality.
Lewis, a junior from Norwich, began her pageant career in high school. As one of five girls in her graduating class in a town of 491, she saw pageants as an opportunity to make friends.
Being from a small town, Lewis chose to come to the University to explore new opportunities. She became involved in Alpha Chi Omega sorority, holding the dual position of Vice President and Recruitment Chair, and was also a Greek Ambassador.
"A lot of my fun times have come from being a member there," Lewis said.
Lewis' journey to the 2012 Miss America pageant started with competing for a local title in Leavenworth County. After winning and being crowned Miss Wooded Hills in October 2011, she was eligible to compete in the Miss Kansas pageant the following June.
"I kind of thought I had the image of what Miss Kansas was supposed to be, and I didn't think I was that at all." Lewis said. "But I was one hundred percent Sloane and they still picked me."
She said the Miss Kansas win was completely unexpected.
As Miss Kansas, Lewis built her platform around empowering at-risk youth. Her cousin was placed in several foster homes and was living with Lewis and her family
when he committed suicide last November. His story and his passing have been driving influences for her to share his message with youth in similar circumstances.
In addition to her involvement in CASA, Youthville and the Urban League of Kansas, she has been able to travel around the state to speak to audiences at high schools, middle schools and juvenile detention centers.
"I had the image of what Miss Kansas was supposed to be, and I didn't think I was that at all."
SLOANE LEWIS Miss Kansas
"I talk to them about setting their own goals, defining their future, defining who they are," Lewis said.
Lewis has a personal connection to the issue with what she went through with her cousin and wants to be able to give back to those who need a boost of positivity in their lives.
"They come from these horrible situations and don't feel like they have a future," Lewis said. "As Miss Kansas, I want to tell them that they do have a future, and it doesn't have to be their past."
On Jan. 12, Lewis made her way onto the Miss America pageant stage in Las Vegas, Nev. However, the journey wasn't as smooth and glamorous as it appeared on television.
ing her talent routine on piano, rehearsing with mock interviews and constantly watching the news to keep on top of current events.
In the weeks and months before the national competition, Lewis prepared by working out, practic-
During the week of the pageant, on top of being nervous for the preliminary interview, she was battling the flu the day before. Lewis also said her swimsuit broke and her evening gown was too big, forcing her to switch into a gown that she had no experience wearing. Despite these setbacks, she said she was still excited to be a part of the Miss America experience.
As she prepares to return to KU in the summer and looks at the possibility of attending law school in 2014, her experience in the pageant and as Miss Kansas will be something that she treasures and hopes that others can take something from.
"I think the most important thing to keep in perspective is you only have one opportunity to fulfill your dreams," Lewis said. "I was so caught up in graduating in four years that I think I forgot about the bigger picture—finding what you love to do and what's important to you. As Miss Kansas, I'm lucky to live my dream."

GM plans $600M upgrade to Kansas plant
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — General Motors Co. announced plans Monday to pour $600 million into upgrades at its assembly plant in Kansas City, Kan., an investment that likely ensures the facility's long-term viability.
Construction on a new 450,000-square-foot paint shop, a stamping press and efficiency enhancements at the Fairfax Assembly Plant will begin this year and should take about two years to complete, GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson said.
"This major investment is a vote of confidence in the employees and leadership of this plant and will allow them to continue producing beautiful, world class vehicles ... with the same quality workmanship that has defined the Fairfax complex for nearly 70 years." Akerson said during a visit to the plant.
Akerson told a crowd that included Gov. Sam Brownback, Mayor Joe Reardon and a few hundred Fairfax employees that the company was experiencing a
"renaissance" and that the Fairfax plant would be among the automaker's "crown jewels." He said the $600 million was among the largest single-plant investments in GM's history.
GM, one of the Kansas' largest employers, announced earlier this month that it would invest about $1.5 billion in its North American facilities in 2013. The company has invested about $2.5 billion in the Fairfax plant in the last decade, showing the company's commitment to Kansas City, Akerson said.
GM nearly ran out of cash in 2008 and needed a $49.5 billion bailout from the U.S. government to stay in business. The company went through bankruptcy protection in 2009 to shed debt and burdensome contracts. Since then, a smaller, leaner GM has made money for 11 straight quarters and piled up $16 billion in profits.
"You all have been through some times," Akerson said. "In fact, the last four years have been really tough. They've been lean. But the tail has turned. » By way
of your commitment, your tenacity, your persistence, your support, we have done more than just survive. GM is thriving with the best in the industry"
The U.S. government got stock in GM in exchange for the bailout, and last month GM bought back 200 million of its shares for $5.5 billion.

shares, but has pledged to sell them by early next year.
Production at the Fairfax plant, where the company makes the Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Malibu, is not expected to be affected by the construction, the company said. GM said the upgrade is designed to cut the amount of energy required to
GM sold 9.29 million cars and trucks worldwide in 2012, making it second only behind Japan's Toyota in global sales.

ficient, state-of the art facilities.
The Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse are made at the plant.
"It is amazing to have this kind of money put in this plant," said Joan Kelly, a quality engineer manager who has worked at Fairfax for nearly 29 years. "It means we're going to be around for a long time.
"It's a testament to the Midwest work ethic. I'm glad to see this money spent in the middle of America."
An investment this large means
that Fairfax could get additional models. At a minimum, it is likely to get future generations of the Malibu and LaCrosse.
"If they're going to be putting a lot of money into a plant like that, you'd better keep it around a vhile," said Jim Harbour, author of a book on auto manufacturing and the man who developed a widely followed annual measure of factory productivity.
Brownback said the investment would help boost the state's economy. "GM is back, and Fairfax is here to stay," the Republican governor said.
Both the LaCrosse and Malibu have been decent sellers for GM in the past, but sales have slowed of late. U.S. sales of the LaCrosse, a big midsize luxury sedan, fell 2.4 percent last year to just over 57,000, according to Autodata Corp. Malibus sales rose 3 percent to almost 211,000, but that's a little more than half the sales of the Toyota Camry, the midsize leader and the top-selling car in the U.S.
GM launched a new version or the Mailbu in 2012. The car will get a makeover this year.
Local 'Red Bull Girl' travels to X Games
At the bottom of Buttermilk Mountain in Colorado lies the Red Bull Energy Hub.
Vasu Gupta, a senior from Overland Park, was one of twenty Bull Girl's, a promotional team for Red Bull, working this year's X Games in Aspen, Colo. People could come by the Energy Hub and grab a Red Bull, watch the games on multiple televisions and take pictures with a real X Games gold medals in the photo booth.
Gupta has been a Red Bull girl for about seven months. She said she was happy she was able to work the
X Games because it has been a great time. Gupta said they were constantly busy working the Energy Hub and driving around Aspen "giving people wings."
"It's been an amazing experience, and we've worked long days, but at the end of the day, it's worth it," Gupta said.
X Games Aspen 2013 kicked off Jan. 24 and concluded last night. About 140 athletes competed in several events in snowboarding, skiing and snowmobile categories.

Boy Scouts petition to include gay members
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Boy Scouts of America is considering a dramatic retreat from its controversial policy of excluding gays as leaders and youth members.
Under the change now being discussed, the different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue — either maintaining an exclusion of gays or opening up their membership.
Monday's announcement of the possible change comes after years of protests over the policy - including petition campaigns that have prompted some corporations to suspend donations to the Boy Scouts.
Under the proposed change, said BSA spokesman Deron Smith, "the Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents."
The Boys Scouts, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010, has long excluded both gays and atheists. Smith said a change in the policy toward atheists was not being considered, and that the BSA continued to view "Duty to God" as one of its basic principles.
Protests over the no-gays policy gained momentum in 2000, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the BSA's right to exclude gays. Scout units lost sponsorships by public
schools and other entities that adhered to nondiscrimination policies, and several local Scout councils made public their displeasure with the policy.
More recently, amid petition campaigns, shipping giant UPS Inc. and drug-manufacturer Merck announced that they were halting donations from their charitable foundations to the Boy Scouts as long as the no-gays policy was in force.
Also, local Scout officials drew widespread criticism in recent months for ousting Jennifer Tyrrell, a lesbian mom, as a den leader of her son's Cub Scout pack in Ohio and for refusing to approve an Eagle Scout application by Ryan Andresen, a California teen who came out as gay last fall.
"An end to this ban will restore dignity to countless families across the country, my own included, who simply wanted to take part in all scouting has to offer," Tyrrell said. "My family loved participating in scouting, and I look forward to the day when we might once again be able to take part."
Many of the protest campaigns, including one seeking Tyrrell's restatement, had been waged with help from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
"The Boy Scouts of America have heard from scouts, corporations and millions of Americans that discriminating against gay scouts and scout leaders is wrong."
said Herndon Graddick, GLAAD's president. "Scouting is a valuable institution, and this change will only strengthen its core principles of fairness and respect."
The Scouts had reaffirmed the no-gays policy as recently as last year, and appeared to have strong backing from conservative religious denominations — notably the

JENNIFER TYRELL
Cub Scouts Den Leader
Mormons, Roman Catholics and Southern Baptists — which sponsor large numbers of Scout units. Under the proposed change, they could continue excluding gays.
Smith said the change could be announced as early as next week, after BSA's national board concludes a regularly scheduled meeting on Feb. 6. The meeting will be closed to the public.
Were the change adopted, Smith said, "there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, and the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization's mission, principles, or religious beliefs.
"BSA members and parents would be able to choose a local unit that best meets the needs of their families," he said. "Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization's mission, principles, or religious beliefs."
The announcement came shortly after new data showed that membership in the Cub Scouts — the BSA's biggest division — dropped sharply last year, and was down nearly 30 percent over the past 14 years.
According to figures provided by the organization, Cub Scout ranks dwindled by 3.4 percent, from 1,583,166 in 2011 to 1,528,673 in 2012. That's down from 2.17 million in 1998.
The Boy Scouts attribute the decline largely to broad social changes, including the allure of video games and the proliferation of youth sports leagues and other options for after-school activities.
However, critics of the Scouts suggest that its recruitment efforts have been hampered by high-profile controversies — notably the court-ordered release of files dealing with sex abuse allegations and persistent protests over the no-gays policy.
al youth membership" — Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers — totaled 2,658,794 in 2012, compared to more than 4 million in peak years of the past. There were 910,668 Boy Scouts last year, a tiny increase from 2011, while the ranks of Venturers — a program for youths 14 and older— declined by 5.5 percent.
In addition to flak over the nogays policy, the Scouts have been buffeted by multiple court cases related to past allegations of sexual abuse by Scout leaders, including those chronicled in long-confidential records that are widely known as the "perversion files."
The BSA's overall "tradition-
Through various cases, the Scouts have been forced to reveal files dating from the 1960s to 1991. They detailed numerous cases where abuse claims were made and Boy Scout officials never alerted authorities and sometimes actively sought to protect the accused.
The Scouts are now under a California court order, affirmed this month by the state Supreme Court, to turn over sex-abuse files from 1991 through 2011 to the lawyers for a former Scout who claims a leader molested him in 2007, when he was 13. It's not clear how soon the files might become public.

Texas executes first woman in 8 years

A Dallas County jury already found former nursing home therapist Kimberly McCarthy guilty of the 1997 killing when evidence at the punishment phase of her trial tied her to two similar murders a decade earlier.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A Texas woman convicted of the grusome slaying and robbery of her neighbor, a retired 71-year-old college psychology professor, is set to be the first woman put to death in the United States since 2010.
"Once the jury heard about those other two, we were certainly in a deep hole," recalled McCarthy's lead trial attorney, Doug Parks. Jurors decided McCarthy should die.
Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics compiled from 1980 through 2008 show women make up about 10 percent of homicide offenders nationwide. According to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, 3,146 people were on the nation's death rows as of last Oct. 1, and only 63 — 2 percent — were
Her execution, set for Tuesday evening, would be the first since a Virginia inmate, Teresa Lewis, became the 12th woman put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976 allowed capital punishment to resume. In that same time, 1,309 men have been executed.
women.
McCarthy exhausted her court appeals, as the U.S. Supreme Court three weeks ago declined
McCarthy, who is black, was condemned for the July 1997 killing of neighbor Dorothy Borthy in Lancaster, about 15 miles south of Dallas. All but one of McCarthy's jurors were white.
The 51-year-old McCarthy also would be the first woman executed in Texas in more than eight years and the fourth overall in the state, which executes the most people in the nation — 492 prisoners since capital punishment resumed 30 years ago.
to review her case and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paslores last week turned down a clemency petition. On Friday, her attorneys asked Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins to delay the lethal injection, citing his interest in Texas adopting a law to allow death-row prisoners to base appeals on race. Watkins has not responded.
"It certainly doesn't make me happy," Parks said. "It's a fact of life ... The reality is, with some exceptions, they're going to execute your client."
Evidence showed McCarthy phoned Booth to borrow a cup of
sugar, then attacked Booth when she went to retrieve it. Booth was stabbed with a butcher knife, beaten with a large candle holder and robbed of a diamond wedding ring.
McCarthy declined to speak with reporters as her execution date neared. She's one of 10 women on death row in Texas but the only one with an execution date.
Prosecutors showed McCarthy stole Booth's Mercedes and drove to Dallas, pawned the ring for $200 and then went to a crack house to buy some cocaine.

Why gelatin isn't vegetarian-friendly

Maybe I can't spell. That's okay, I'm a science major.
Help me, Ben, you're my only hope.
At least once in elementary school, some kid brings up that glue is made from horse hooves. While that is no longer true, there is a variety of food made from animal skin. The majority of people are surprised when I explain why I cannot eat certain popular candies, cereals and yogurt. As a vegetarian, I choose not to eat products that an animal must die to produce. Although it may seem like a vegan practice, gelatin is present in a variety of today's foods and is indeed made out of dead animals. Gelatin is what most people think of as the main ingredient in jello and is an ingredient in gummy candies and serves as a thickening agent in other foods.
Gelatin turks in many unexpected foods and isn't made of the most appealing ingredients. Gelatin comes from collagen, a protein in animal skins. Andrew
Milkowski, adjunct professor of animal sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the source varies depending on the type of food. Gelatin used in desserts comes mainly from pig skin.
If you think that you're safe just watching for gelatin in food, vitamins and encapsulated medicines often contain gelatin. Hy-Vee Multivitamins are one of two brands of vitamins I have found without gelatin. The local Mercantile, or The Merc, also has multivitamins without gelatin, but the ones I found tended to smell like rabbit food. To be safe with medicine, choose pill form over capsules to avoid gelatin.

Gelatin is not the only emulsifier on the market. Pectin comes from apple skin or citrus peels. Pectin is usually used in jams and jellies, but has a long list of positive effects. According to eafus.com, Pectin removes unwanted metals and toxins, reduces the

Whether you are a vegetarian or not, a gummy bear made from fruit sounds more appealing than one made from bones. The company that manufactures Skittles seems to agree and capitalizes on the alternative. Formerly made from gelatin, Skittles is phasing into being gelatin-free. According to The Vegetarian Resource Group Blog, Skittles underwent a recipe reformulation in 2009 that removed the gelatin. However,
some old-formulation Skittles are still on the shelf, so be sure to read the label.
Other companies have capitalized on the alternatives. Both Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish are vegan candies. Most brands of Greek or organic Yogurt do not have gelatin. Also, at The Merc, gummies are sold without gelatin.
our emotions, our diet is an effective way to control how we feel. I originally became a vegetarian as part of a bet, but I ended up sticking with it because I felt energized and healthier.
What truly surprises me is the lack of knowledge that surrounds gelatin. I was informed of the ingredients of gelatin after a year of being a vegetarian as I was biting into our marshmallow. I find it relatively concerning to think about how blindly we put food into our body. I admit that I am unaware of what some of the ingredients listed actually contain. The weirdest part about it is that I am not motivated to try harder and investigate and understand what I am eating. While it seems minute, what we eat has a huge effect on how we feel and how we look. With the inconsistency of
As you have probably heard before, vegetarianism exists as a spectrum. Some vegetarians eat fish while others choose to be stricter with their diets. So if you are a vegetarian with a soft spot for gummy bears, remember that you control the extent of your vegetarianism.
If nothing else, I hope this article has given you a little food for thought. You may just want to read the ingredients label and do your research before you start enjoying your seemingly innocent Starburst.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Embrace vulnerability today
The beginning of a new semester is one of my favorite times of the
year. It always holds so much promise of the great things to come and chances to improve upon last semester's accomplishments.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
But for me, a new semester also brings a lot of pressure. After five weeks of hanging out with my dog and making queso, getting back into a work/school/activities/social life routine can be daunting.
And while syllabus week is (for some) the best and easiest week of the school year, for me, it provides plenty of anxiety about what's to come. Going over every paper, reading assignment, exam and project that will be expected of you in just a few days is definitely my "Welcome back to KU! Now get back to work" wake-up call.
My first few days of a new semester usually remind me of all the ways I slacked off in the semester before. As my political science professor doles out reading assignments, I remember that I hardly ever did any readings in the fall. When my journalism professor explains that our work this semester is expected to be professional and broadcast-ready, I think of all my botched news packages from last semester.
On top of all these perceived shortcomings is a sense that this semester I will do better. I will be better. This will be the semester I produce awesome TV packages, ace my political science papers and make a lot of new friends, all while getting eight hours of sleep per night.
But as relaxed syllabus week transitions into heavy course loads and intense schedules, those high expectations become overwhelming.
Rather than tear ourselves down for not meeting our expectations of a fantabulous new semester, what if we worked on accepting the way we are right now, today? Fortes and flaws included.
If I'm being honest, I know I'm not going to become an expert on political rhetoric, get a job offer from Anderson Cooper or become a campus "it-girl" this semester. Especially if I'm spending all my time obsessing over what I lack as opposed to what I have. Focusing on all the ways in which I fell short last semester or last year only sets me up to be miserable.
Adversely, I did some really awesome things last semester: got a new job, mastered a class that was really challenging and became a columnist for the Kansan. Chances are you did some awesome things as well. Isn't it exciting to know there's even more to come?
Over the break, I read an amazing book by Brene Brown called "I Thought It Was Just Me (but it is not!). Making the Journey from 'What Will People
Think'? to 'I Am Enough," to which I have to credit this line of thinking. Brene urges people to end the exhausting quest for perfection and embrace our vulnerability.
For instance, I feel pretty vulnerable admitting to everyone I read this book because it meant I don't have it together 24/7 and that I'm not perfect. Honestly though, it feels great to cut yourself some slack every once in awhile, and it allows you to cut others some slack, too. I'm looking at you, type-A overachievers. It's time we all let go a little.
This semester, I challenge you to balance goal-oriented thinking (though it's important), with a healthy dose of self-love and acceptance. Truth be told, this is a much more difficult form of self-improvement than hitting the gym three times a week or cutting carb. It requires us to be vulnerable, which is the exact opposite of the line of thinking that goal-making requires.
Start by answering a friend's "How are you?" with something more honest than "I'm fine. You!" Because how often is our day simply "fine?" Admitting our vulnerability to others can be a rejuvenating (and scary) experience. But with the support we need, we're much more likely to meet at least one of the expectations we form during syllabus week (And forgive ourselves for discarding the rest).

Facebook can't change policies
Let's say you knew how to fix the economy, make the U.S. energy independent, and solve the entitlement crisis.
That's great and all, but as a student and not a lawmaker, you're probably not in an ideal position to do all of those things. What's the next step? You can't just think, "If Congressman X could do Y, our healthcare system would be fixed. If President Obama made Z illegal, gun violence wouldn't occur." At some point, ideas not followed by action become tiring. You're tired of explaining what's wrong with America and how you disapprove of the government. Everyone's tired of hearing about it. But despite the mutual tiredness, it continues.
I know the idea of taking dinner table talk and turning it into action is intimidating. But it's too easy to get online and post plans for America's ascent to greatness from the comfort of home, safe from public scrutiny. There must be a balance between being cynical on the web and doing something that produces tangible results.
For a moment, ignore the issue of owning a gun being a protected right. In fact, don't consider why gun sales should be restricted or why they shouldn't be. In reality, if enough votes are cast, laws can be passed to restrict anything. Rather, consider what we, college students, can do from where we sit right now. Can we filibuster the senate? Can we whisper into the ear of the president? Can we promise reelection for a representative? Can we draft a compromise that will be passed? Probably not.
Let's consider gun control as an example. Public opinion polls have shown support for restrictions on high capacity magazines, assault style weapons and more background checks. But Congress has been slow to act.
Honestly, we don't call our congressmen. We don't create networks of donors. We don't create advocacy groups. We struggle to攻到 vote. We are remarkably adept at hastily crafting witty posts supporting our beliefs, but fail to get that message to the lawmakers who can enact the policy we want to see. Truly, the problem is will and effort.
The commitment it takes to organize support, contact legislators and raise funds proves too taxing for most of us. Being cynical, satirical or apathetic requires far less will and effort.
Yet, unless one channels their

inner Jonathan Swift, the satirical message a college student effortlessly posts probably doesn't change policy. It probably doesn't raise a single dollar. It probably doesn't organize a movement of people capable of lobbying elected officials. It likely doesn't affect any outcome.
College students, limited by time, money and experience, don't have to be inept when it comes to affecting policy decisions. We can matter if we become more active. It requires substantial will and effort.
Six PAC was founded by Richardson to advocate for possible solutions, raise awareness and connect like-minded individuals. Visit sixpac.org to see what it means to take a passion further than a thoughtful Internet rent.
Consider Six PAC, a student-founded, student-run political action committee focused on education reform. Six PAC bridges the gap between strong thoughts and strong actions. Instead of cynically pointing out the flaws in American education and providing no solutions, KU student Forrest Richardson sought out a different path for his efforts by founding this youth-driven political action committee.
We have the potential to affect policy change if, and only if, we recognize and overcome our limitations. Will and effort is only the beginning. Don't waste your time and my time ranting about how policies could be different. Choose to do something about it. If you think the federal government should legalize marijuana and that it's so "obvious," why are you telling all your Facebook friends, not your congressman?
If you think that taxation is "ruining" American values, why haven't you petitioned your tax collectors—the government?
Actions speak louder than words, and Congress creates laws. Don't let your own passion go to waste.

Difficulty Level ★★
To Betty White's way of thinking, retirement is for people who hate their jobs. That's why the 91-year-old funny lady, a TV icon who has won seven Emmy Awards, refuses to call it quits.
There's nothing about acting and make people laugh that bores her. "My problem is I love what I'm doing, and I love this business, and I enjoy the work, and I love the people I work with," White says.

Not only is she still going strong in the fourth season of TV Land's "Hot in Cleveland" (10 p.m. Wednesday), but she also hosts a hidden-camera

"When I started out, television was that miracle on the box in the corner of the room. Over the years, as television got to be such a major part of our lives, the audience has heard every joke. They know every storyline. They know where you're going almost before the first line is out. That's a hard audience to surprise and a hard audience to entertain. And it gets more difficult all the time."

Sheer fabrics, neutrals dominate Paris runways

This week Paris hosted the Haute Couture Fashion Week, where the most fabulous and well-known designers displayed their spring and summer 2013 designs for the very first time. Celebrities like Salma Hayek, Diane Krueger and the infamous Anna Wintour filled the front row seats of shows such as Chanel, Versace and Giambatista Valli.
While every line was showstopping, nothing compared to French designer Stephane Rolland's black and white gowns. Rolland's magical pieces were a perfect blend of structured meets flowy, creating a sexy and sophisticated line of gowns that had the crowd drooling. Black and white were the only colors used, despite one gray train on one dress and a jeweled emerald peplum on another. Wide-legged trousers and jumpsuits, floral embellishments and unexpected mesh inserts were frequent in Rolland's designs.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Common trends seen on the runways were tons of black and white, plunging necklines, peplums and major tulle and sheer fabrics. Think trendy punk meets ballerina. Another pattern in the flawless pieces; necklines. From low cut and risque to statuesque turtleneck, necklines were all about the detail in design Alexis Mabile's line.

Theater embraces digital age by offering free 'tweet seats'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Sarah Bertness slipped into her seat at a recent staging of the musical "Million Dollar Quartet" and, when the lights dimmed, started doing something that's long been taboo inside theaters: typing away at her iPhone.
The 26-year-old freelance writer from Providence wasn't being rude. She had a spot in the "tweet seat" section at the Providence Performing Arts Center.
The downtown theater is now setting aside a small number of seats — in the back — for those who promise to live-tweet from the performance using a special hash tag. They might offer impressions of the set, music or costumes, lines of dialogue that resonate with them or anything else that strikes them, really.
A growing number of theaters, including some on Broadway, have been experimenting in recent years with tweet seats and other real-time uses of social media as they try to figure out the relationship between the stage and the

"It's important that.. cultural institutions... jump on the social media bandwagon."
"I think that it's important that PPAC and cultural institutions in general kind of jump on the social media bandwagon and learn to engage a broader audience," said Bertness, who runs the blog The Rhode Islander. "I think it's such a valuable tool."
PPAC isn't sure yet whether any social media buzz generated by those in the tweet seats will have a measurable effect at the box office. But spokeswoman P.J. Prokop said the theater intends to keep the program through the end of the year, and then evaluate it. Those who sit in the tweet seats get their tickets for free.

Shifting from Williams to Self wasn't easy transition
Confession time. Unbeknownst to many of my friends, for the longest time, I preferred Roy Williams over Bill Self. It was hard not to love the teams put together by Williams and the back-to-back Final Four appearances in his last two years at Kansas. But before the 'Bill Self for President' campground makes a dartboard of my picture, let me explain.
By Chris Hybl
chybl@kansan.com
Born and bred a Kansas basketball fan, I grew up with Roy. At times, it felt as if I was even under his tutelage. The first tournament loss I can remember watching was against Duke in 2000. I hated Duke and coach Krzyzewski. In 2001, Kansas lost to Illinois in the Sweet 16. I despised Illinois and Bill Self.
The 2002 and 2003 teams put together by Roy Williams were hard not to like. A simple utterance of names like Aaron Miles, Keith Langford or Jeff Bosche is the easiest way to bring a smile to my face.
Players like Boschee and Kirk Hinrich were the driving inspirations behind hoop dreams of my own. My haircut was even modeled after Boschee. It was borderline idolatry.
Roy Williams led, in my mind, a perfect team to the 2003 National Championship game against Syracuse. My love for Roy was at an all-time high before Syracuse's Hakim Warrick swatted away the national championship dreams of both Michael
Lee and myself. Then it happened: his departure.
It was over. Roy had left. Although I was struck with sorrow, I didn't feel betrayed.
I was impartial to the hiring of Bill Self in 2003, but after first-round tournament losses to Bucknell and Bradley in Self's second and third years, respectively, I was slandering the guy.
Then Self's recruiting kicked in. My favorite Self-era recruit, Julian Wright in 2005, gave me a newfound sense of hope for Self. Suddenly, the recruits were piling in. The teams were better. After the Jayhawks' championship run in 2008, Williams and Self were still equal in my eyes. Why? By 2009, Williams had won two championships at North Carolina, while Self had only one at Kansas.
KU
Now, I can let go. The Tarheels have been unranked at one point in each of the last three years. The last time the jayhawks were unranked was Dec. 1, 2009.
Self is playing head maestro to one of the best teams in his tenure, a team that I have more confidence in to take the title than any of his past teams at Kansas. So yes, I'll say it: Bill is better than... Judas.

Big 12 athletic directors discuss possible conference additions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Big 12 athletic directors spent several pros and cons of maintaining their 10-tem configuration or eventually making additions to the conference — or maybe doing something in between.
League commissioner Bob Bowlsby repeated what he has said before "that our current composition is terrific for us" but the ADs went through plenty of "what-if" scenarios to be prepared for any
eventually in what has been an ongoing shift of conference affiliations. The Big 12 has lost four members to other leagues while adding West Virginia and TCU.
"I think we did gravitate around some principles that will guide us going forward and I think we created some filters that we all agreed on." Bowsls said after the first day of their regular scheduled two-day meeting. "I think there was a fair amount of unanimity in the room."
Among the possibilities is an alliance with other conferences,
including the ACC, and Bowlsby said there appears to be unar.imous support for the idea.
"We talked about those kinds of things, and I think there are some ways that you can get some of the benefits and some of the value of larger configuration without actually adding members," Bowlsby said. "We spent a good portion of the late afternoon talking about how that all fit together and how it worked."
Bowlbsy didn't get into specifics and wouldn't say what other conferences could be in the mix. Pac 12 and SEC officials have indicated they have had no such discussions with the Big 12.
All the Big 12 athletic directors agreed to defer questions to Bowlsby, but several seemed encouraged by their discussions when asked what was accomplished.
Their first day was reserved for discussing the makeup of the league, and Bowlsby said that was "talked completely through for about three hours." Bowlsby said there were a whole bunch of different financial and geographical and scheduling possibilities discussed.
Bowsby described the meeting as a free-flowing opportunity to interject a lot of ideas, and said the interactive nature by everyone in the room was probably indicative of the interest in the topic.
"I think that it's possible to make a considered decision to stay at the most favorable structure and that's where we have been," Bowlsby said. "But having said that, I don't think we ever want to be in a position of being un-nimble, and by that I
mean it's a changing environment and we have to be prepared to respond to that changing environment, and this meeting is certainly going to help us do that."
Bowslsby said there is evidence that dictates the league stay at 10 schools, and other that suggests getting bigger.
"We have evidence on both sides of it," he said. "But I don't know that any of it is compelling enough to cause change right now."

Jayhawks win despite tight margin
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
It was another ugly win for the Jayhawks.
In its 61-56 victory over West Virginia on Monday night, Kansas showed not only its struggles on offense, but also some mounting problems with free throws. The layhaws shot 52.9 percent for the game from the free-throw line.
Despite all these missteps, the Jayhawks managed to extend their winning streak to 18 games on the season in their first trip to Morgantown, W. Va., which is the longest streak in the country at the moment.
For the game, Kansas ended up making 18 of the possible 34 free throws, which contributed to the team never jumping to an extended
lead in the second half.
The only players to show consistency in both halves was fifth-year senior guard Travis Releford, who came up with a big three pointer with 7:30 remaining in the game to keep the Mountaineers at bay, and senior center Jeff Withey, who also had a big first half with 13 points.
Releford was one of Kansas' leading scorers with 15 points in the game. He also finished with four rebounds, four assists and two steals to fill out his stat sheet.
Senior forward Kevin Young struggled during some aspects of the game, but managed to put together seven points and seven rebounds.
Withey only had two points in the second half, but still managed to have four blocks and seven rebounds for the game.
Despite being in foul trouble for much of the game, freshman guard Ben McLemore still scored 13 points on five-of-six shooting.
The Mountaineers main offensive output came from junior forward Aaric Murray, who was the first man off the bench. He finished the game with 17 points and knocked down three 3-pointers.
He also grabbed two rebounds and one block in the first 20 minutes.
Sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds also contributed off the bench for West Virginia and scored eight points.
Although the Mountaineers starters scored a total of 26 points, they still managed to get some offensive output from sophomore guard Juwan Staten, who scored
14 points.
The game started out swimmingly for the Jayhawks, who held the Mountaineers without a field goal until the 12:32 remaining in the first half.
The jayhaws also knocked down back-to-back threes in the first two minutes that led them to an early 14-0 run.
Freshman forward Perry Ellis was one of the lone players to score off the Kansas bench with four points.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson still struggled running the offense with six points, five rebounds and three turnovers.

GAME TO REMEMBER
There wasn't much good play that came out of this game, but Relefond provided a much-needed consistency in an otherwise lackluster performance. He's the rock of this team and will be crucial in the come days as Kansas continues to work through their offensive troubles.

At this point it looks like Elijah Johnson is struggling at the point guard position. He finished this game with six points and five rebounds, but the three turnovers and inconsistent guard play is what continues to trouble Kansas fans.

COMMENTARY Late night calls in the newsroom
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Another game brought another victory for the Kansas men's basketball team. But this time, the number two team in the nation looked far from their best as the Jayhawks escaped Morgantown, W.Va., with a 61-56 victory.
Shortly after the conclusion of the game, The University Daily Kansan newsroom received a phone call. At 10:40 p.m. a middle-aged man from Minnesota called to vent about the game.
The caller complained about the Jayhawks' sloppy passes that lead to costly turnovers late in the game that allowed West Virginia to stay in the game. Even though Kansas shot 54.1 percent, the team's 16 turnovers kept the game close.
The caller continued to gripe emphatically about missed free throws. Kansas is normally a solid free throw shooting team, making 73.7 percent from the free throw line. Last night though, the Jayhawks barely made half of their attempts from the line shooting 52.9 percent.
Even the alternate, all-blue uniforms that Kansas sported received backlash from the caller.
The one thing that bothered him most, though, was this Kansas team's offensive potential.
Sure, the offense clicked at the beginning of the season, but since the Temple game, points haven't come easy for the Jawhaws.
Simply put though, that offensive prowess is still missing.
The most important missing piece for the team though is the killer instinct.
Kansas has a well-rounded lineup so it is only natural for fans to expect the offense to score points at will.
In seven conference games, Kansas has only broken the 30-point barrier by halftime in four of those games. A year ago, the Jayhawks broke 30 points by halftime in their first six conference games.
Kansas has only broken the 70-point barrier once in the past and that was against Iowa State in overtime on Jan. 9 in Allen Fieldhouse.

MEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND
The Jayhawks usually extend their leads to double-digits at various points in games. The only issue is when the Hawks limp to the end of the game, giving teams hope to stay alive with 10 minutes or less in the game.
Yes, Kansas has been efficient from the field. Senior guard Travis Releford has continued to put up points for the Jayhawks shooting seven of nine from the field.
The caller and fans have every right to be angry after that sloppy performance, but a team has to learn to win when playing its worst. Thanks for the call.
Kansas already leads the conference in field goal percentage—the they were shooting 49 percent as a team going into the West Virginia game. Cut down the turnovers and that number can rise.
Oh, and just like any Bill Self coached team, this group of Jayhawks has the ability to shut down opposing offenses. The Kansas defense has held 14 of its opponents in the last 20 games under 60 points while Jayhawks lead the nation in field goal percentage defense at 34.9 percent
But just imagine when Kansas solves its offensive problems. Watch out.

Senior center Jeff Withey dunks the ball in the first half of Monday nights game. Withey had 15 points in the first-ever match between these two teams, which ended with a 61-56 victory for the lavwhaws
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
With the Jayhawks leading West Virginia 61-56, Mountaineer guard Juwan Staten drove into the lane for a layup with 17 seconds left. Withey blocked it.
West Virginia recovered the loose ball and got it to center Aaric Murray for another shot attempt with 13 seconds left.
GEOFFREY CALVERT
ccalvert@kansan.com
Withey blocked it again, his fourth and final block of the night. Senior guard Travis Releford corralled the loose ball and ran out the clock, lifting the No. 2 Jayhawks to 19-1 and 7-0 in Big 12 play.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Never has the Withey Block Party meant so much to Kansas.
"They did an up screen and I thought No. 24 was going to pick and pop and shoot the three because that's what he was doing all game," Witty said of Murray.
"That was the first time kind of all game that a guard was in the paint where I could block the shot, so I blocked it," Withey said. "He got the ball back, threw it to the big guy and I was quick enough to be able to get there and block it again."
The Mountaineer fans were strategically grouped into sections depending on the blue or gold shirts they wore. Two fans held large cardboard cutout faces of the game's announcer, Brent Musburger, and Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarran's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, whom Musburger fawned over during the BCS National Championship last month. One fan was decked head-to-toe in a Pikachu costume.
When Staten drove the ball, Withey jumped into action.
The West Virginia crowd was pumped about its first ever matchup with Kansas, the newly-minted No. 1 team in the USA Today Coaches' Poll and the second-ranked team in the Associated Press poll.
"I enjoyed it," Releford said. "I like how the crowd is low, we get to see them and hear them. It's fun when we go to opponents' places and get the crowd into it and just take over a game."
The crowd nearly saw what they came for, as the Mountaineers threatened to take the lead nearly the entire second half before the
Jayhawks finally closed them out.
Some of the Mountaineers' best shots came from some of the most unlikely sources.
West Virginia's 6-foot-10 Murray entered the contest 6-20 from three-point range. He went 3-5 from behind the arc against Kansas and finished with 17 points.
Forward Kevin Noreen made one of his two three-point attempts, only his fourth three-pointer of the year.
Kansas could've survived those unlikely blushes with ease. But it made its own life hard with careless turnovers and a spotty performance from the free throw line.
"If you make your free throws, it turns out to be a pretty good, at least visually, a much better game," Self said. "If we make our free throws the first half, we could've probably scored 44, 45 the first half."
The Jayhawks turned the ball over 16 times, while West Virginia committed only nine turnovers. Seven of Kansas' turnovers came in the second half, while the Mountainers only turned the ball over twice in the second period.
"It was just guys just speed up, making boneheaded plays." Releford said. "That's about it. Give credit to them. They pressured, they pressured out high on the guards and stuff. That kind of got us sped up and turned us over a bunch."
The layhawks got to the free throw line more than twice as much as the Mountaineers did. But while West Virginia converted 12-15 free throws, Kansas hit only 18-34. In the final two minutes, Kansas made only four of its eight free throw attempts, with three of those misses coming from its guards.
In one stretch of the first half, Kansas turned the ball over on four straight possessions. Another turnover resulted in a Mountaineer layup before the halftime buzzer to trim Kansas' lead to 38-30.
"We're going to have to learn some lessons through losing, or we're going to have to mature, and hopefully, we can learn them through maybe escaping and so far we haven't learned them yet," coach Bill Self said.

Pro-medical marijuana Compassion and Care Act referred to committee in Kansas legislature
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
The Kansas state legislature doesn't care to hear about medical marijuana.
After two weeks of review, the "Cannabis Compassion and Care Act" was introduced to the House yesterday by Rep. Gail Finney (D-Wichita). The bill, originally introduced by Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas City, Kan.) would legalize medical marijuana in the state of Kansas and decriminalize possession of up to six ounces and home growing of up to 12 plants. By current Kansas law, possession of marijuana can result in up to a year in prison. Growing marijuana can lead to 17 years of jail time.
A similar bill died in committee last year.
"It's very prevalent amongst the leadership in Kansas that they think there's no interest in medical marijuana in Kansas," Finney said.
Once introduced, the Speaker of the House will assign a committee to review the bill. The committee would then open the bill to the chairperson, who can then decide whether to grant the bill a hearing for a vote or to let the bill die.
Rep. Laura Kelly (D-Topeka), the ranking democratic member of the Public Health and Welfare committee reviewing the bill, doesn't expect the medical marijuana bill to live.
"We have a very conservative legislature and this is the sort of issue that most would balk at," Kelly said. "In some ways, I think it's reflective of our citizenry. My gut instinct tells me that Kansans aren't ready for this yet. This will have to occur in a number of other states and Kansans will watch it play out and then sometime down the line they might be willing to consider it — but not now."
A national public opinion poll conducted by Public Policy Polling in December 2012 found that 58 percent of 1,325 registered voters believe marijuana should be legalized. That statistic, however, does not necessarily reflect the state of Kansas.
"In the state of Kansas, you have a few people that are in leadership positions or are chairpersons of committees and they have the power to say yea or nay about any bill that they want," Finney said. "That's one of the things that a lot of citizens in the state of Kansas do not know and do not realize. A lot of
these deals and things that happen here in the capitol are made by very few people"
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 18 states and Washington, D.C. have approved the use of medical marijuana. Some have done so through initiatives or referendum, which
"It's very prevalent amongst the leadership in Kansas that they think there's no interest in medical marijuana in Kansas."

Kansas State Representative
allow citizens to directly vote on a popular ballot rather than rely on the state's legislative body.
"They've been able to override and veto their legislature because they took it into their own hands to put it up to a vote on a ballot by the people," Finney said. "Kansas doesn't have initiative or referendum that would allow people to put issues on a statewide ballot."
The Sunflower state does not allow initiatives and referendum by the public but only legislation-referred constitutional amendments. To legalize medical marijuana in the state of Kansas, either the Kansas House and Senate would have to vote on and approve the Cannabis Compassion and Care Act or the Kansas legislature would have to refer the act as a referendum for a vote by the public. Still, Rep. Finney and like-minded lawmakers haven't given up hope. She believes that if and when states surrounding Kansas have legalized medical marijuana, the Kansas legislature will follow suit to keep additional tax revenue within the state.
"I do think it's just a matter of time, but Kansas has a history of coming in last," Finney said.
Kansas was the last state to end Prohibition, partially re-legalizing alcohol in 1948 and not allowing on-premises sale of alcohol until 1987. To this day, Kansas has complicated alcohol laws and forbids the sale of alcohol heavier than 3.2 percent in grocery stores.
It's significant that both Colorado and Washington, where recreational use of marijuana has been legalized on a state level, first legalized
medicinal marijuana, said political science professor Michael Lynch.
"If I was a conservative who was not excited about recreational marijuana being legalized, I would just stop it now by preventing a law that seems to be — at least for other states — the first step in that direction," Lynch said. "Because it has to be led by the state legislature, it is institutionally more difficult to do in Kansas, even if there were as much support for it here as there is in other states."
The Cannabis Compassion and Care Act would regulate marijuana exclusively for medical use. Medical marijuana, Rep. Finney believes, is a civil rights issue. The possession and distribution of marijuana for recreational use would remain a criminal act.
"This bill is not for recreational purposes. This bill is to help chronically and terminally ill patients," Finney said. "When you're at the end of life and suffering from a lot of debilitating pain, medical marijuana gives them the opportunity to hold food down, to eat and to still be conscious when you're in pain and taking hardcore drugs like morphine."

Regents, students oppose concealed carry on campus
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
A University student's 21st birthday means they can finally drink alcohol legally, as well as start packing heat. A bill allowing concealed carry permits on college campuses is likely to reemerge in this session of the Kansas legislature, said student body president Hannah Bolton.
"All the leaders from the Kansas Board of Regents Schools are in opposition to the concealed carry bill," Bolton said.
sne will meet legislators on Feb. 11 as part of the annual higher education lobby, which advocates for legislation on behalf of University students.
"We are trying to fight against having concealed carry on campus," Bolton said.
Students are not allowed to bring weapons on campus, but they may store their weapons at the KU Office of Public Safety, located on west campus.
"We realize that different students have different hobbies, and hunting's one of them," said KU
Police Chief Ralph Oliver. "We try to accommodate both bows and rifles."
Oliver said the number of students who keep their weapons on campus tends to be low and varies by season.
Regarding concealed carry permits, Oliver did not think allowing guns in the classroom would benefit students at the University.
"I don't think bringing concealed weapons on campus makes a student safer," Oliver said.
Edited by Tara Bryant
HOW-TO: OBTAIN A PERMIT
Students 21 and older who are U.S. citizens and Kansas residents can apply for a concealed carry permit after completing a weapons safety and training course, according to the Kansas Attorney General's Office.
WHO?
?
?
This course may be sponsored by the National Rifle Association, law enforcement agencies or any other institution approved by the attorney general's office, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
HOW?
After completion, permit seekers must fill out a license application answering questions regarding criminal history, child abuse, drug use and mental illness. Implication in such activities could result in denial of application.
WHERE?
Permit-seekers submit the weapons safety and training course certificate, application, $132.50 worth of state fees and fingerprint to the local sheriff's office. The documents are then forwarded to the attorney general's office, which runs background checks on applicants before they may be approved. The approval process takes approximately 45 days to complete, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Craft beers, home brews become popular
29
Cooper Nickel worked to boil, bottle and ferment. After hours of trying to find the right combination of ingredients and discussing the process with his two friends, both the over-sanitized beer and Nickel's vision of a delicious home brew went down the drain.
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
The way students drink beer is changing.
Dillan Straight, a senior from Wichita and employee at the Cork and Barrel liquor store, identifies popular craft beer brands. These specialty beers have become increasingly popular with university students.
Nickel, a senior from Lindsborgh, has left behind cheap beer for craft beer and his own home brew. And, although his latest experiment was unsuccessful — because of an overdose of iodophor — his other attempts have resulted in a good, cost-efficient beverage.
"I haven't bought cheap beer for a very long time." Nickel said.
Nickel and his friends Kurtis Myers and Grant Doerkson, both of whom are University alumni, first tried out home brewing a couple of years ago, and it made them appreciate the art of crafting beer.
"The whole process to start a batch takes about six hours from boil to bottling for fermenting. However, the rewards are great. The grain and all for one batch that makes around three to four gallons of beer costs around 40 bucks with shipping. It's well worth the price, as it tastes phenomenally superb to any cheap beer." Nickel said.
Nickel says that brewing his own beer is well worth the time and effort it takes to complete a batch.
"You get to play with the taste and in brewing your own beer you begin to appreciate craft breweries a whole lot more," Nickel said.
Over the last two years, the craft beer market has been growing rapidly. According to the Brewers Association, an organization made up of more than 1,500 United States breweries members, more than 34,000 American Homebrewers Association members and other craftsmen of the beer trade, there
are currently 2,126 breweries in the United States—up by 350 since June 2011.
Craft beer and home brewing are becoming so popular among students that a group of beer lovers started the KU Beer Club.
Alek Joyce, a junior from Lawrence and treasurer of the club, said that members share each other's favorite beers at the meetings.
"During our meetings, we focus exclusively on craft beers. Each meeting, we ask everyone to bring a six pack, and then we share the beers around the group," Joyce said, "All in all, I'd say our personal tastes are all shifting towards investing in craft beers rather than just sufficing with cheaper stuff."
Nickel also goes into liquor stores for craft beer and usually purchases a "make your own six pack" that many of the Lawrence liquor stores offer to beer drinkers who want variety.
"My favorite thing to do is to go to the liquor store and purchase a 'mix six' and try out a variety of craft beers," Nickel said.
Brendan Dowdle, the General Manager of Cork and Barrel on 9th and Indiana, says that sales reflect the shift in people choosing craft
Domestic beer companies like Budweiser and Coors are having trouble keeping up with the craft beer competition. Budweiser recently released its Budweiser Black Crown, and will be promoting it with ads during the Super Bowl.
beer over cheap beer.
"Domestic beer is selling less and less. Craft beer sales have gradually risen every year. We don't expect to see a slow down on craft beer sales over the next ten years, especially with the amount of microbreweries opening." Dowdle said.
Dowdle said that aside from the new Budweiser Black Crown, the larger beer companies are not really doing much to come out with new beers. The smaller craft beer companies, however, are releasing new beers quite often.
Index
"We see a new craft beer every week. I hope people are" turning to craft beer because they want to buy American, but I think realistically it's becoming popular, the word is getting out, they find out it's good and people like the flavor", Dowdle said. "They're not just drinking to get drunk."

Students to sing for recording artist at Lied
LELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
Select University students will have the opportunity to perform in a talent showcase for recording artist Suzanne Vega and her daughter Ruby Froom on Friday. The free showcase will be in the Lied Center Pavilion beginning at 7 p.m. and is open to the public.
"We've been trying for years to do a talent showcase-like event," said Topeka senior Hillary Berry, president of the Lied Center Student Association. "It's a lot of
fun and it's a great place to say you've performed in."
To be considered for the showcase, participants had to post a video on the event's Facebook page. The video had to be a live, acoustic cover of a song of the participant's choice.
Berry, who is participating in the showcase, looks forward to the opportunity to perform. Her cover is Jewel's "You Were Meant for Me."
"It feels good," Berry said. "It's a unique opportunity play for them and that the people at the Lied Center think I'm good
enough to play."

Conn. legislature considers mental health issues
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut lawmakers on Tuesday began reviewing mental health care following the deadly Newtown school shooting, even though they and the public have little insight into the mental state of the 20-year-old gunman.
The prosecutor in the case, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, said he cannot release information about Adam Lanza's mental health because of the Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct, which covers all attorneys in the state. His office is reviewing whether details of Lanza's mental state can be released to the public after the police report is completed, possibly in June.
"The shooters in Sandy Hook, Tucson, Aurora, Littleton, Blacksburg — we will not grant them the respect of using their names — were not in their right minds," said Richman, who, along with his wife, has started a foundation in their daughter's name to protect vulnerable groups from violence and to understand the mental underpinnings of violent behavior.
But Jeremy Richman, father of 6-year-old Arielle Richman, one of the 20 first-graders killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, told a legislative subcommittee on Tuesday that it is clear Lanza did not commit an impulsive act of violence, but rather a planned crime with the "goal of achieving infamy" like other mass shooters.
Besides gun violence and school safety, two task forces created by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the General Assembly are focusing on mental health services and
"Too little is known in the mental health area about what drives these violent behaviors," he said. "Clearly, something is wrong with the person capable of such atrocities."

"I don't think not having that information is going to prevent us from doing important work," said Dr. Harold Schwartz, a psychiatrist on the commission. "Adam Lanza is just one case.

"My Ana Grace was murdered. She was six years old. She was one of 26 innocent people massacred senselessly," Marquez-Greene wrote. "This tragedy could have been prevented."
Lawmakers were urged to look at numerous issues such as stronger civil commitment laws, mandatory mental health evaluations for gun purchasers, more funding for school-based health centers that provide mental health care and community-based mental health services, and allowing families to put a troubled relative on a list preventing them from obtaining a gun.

Woman claims self defense in murder case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JONATHAN MCKINNEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
denenant Jodi Arias appears in court for her murder trial at the Maricopa County Superior Court on Monday in Phoenix. Arias is charged with murder in the death of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander, and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
PHOENIX - The photographs present a chilling portrait of sex and death.
A nude Jodi Arias on Travis Alexander's bed. A naked Alexander in the shower. Then minutes later, an image of Alexander stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times in the heart, back, hands and torso, shot in the head, his throat slit from ear to ear.
Other evidence has stacked up since the June 2008 attack in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix. A bloody palm print; wildly conflicting stories; and, finally, a confession.
The evidence — including time-stamped photos from the day police say Alexander died — is being presented at a trial in Phoenix that's been dominated by the torrid affair, sex, jealousy and a defendant whose only chance at acquittal is to convince a jury she's the victim.
There's no question who killed the 30-year-old businessman and motivational speaker. Arias admits she stabbed and shot him, but claims she was defending herself against an abusive lover.
Alexander "lunged at Jodi in anger," her attorney, Jennifer Willmott, told jurors.
"Jodi's life was in danger. He knocked her to the ground in the bathroom where there was a struggle," Willmott said. "If she did not have to defend herself, she would not be here."
Prosecutors say the 32-year-old came prepared to kill, packing a .25-caliber handgun and knife, neglecting to call police and leaving behind a crime scene that investigators described as among the most gruesome they'd ever seen.
"This is not a case of whodunit," prosecutor Juan Martinez said in his opening statement. "The person who committed this killing sits in court today."
then blamed it on masked intruders before finally confessing.
Arias repeatedly changed her stories about the killing that could land her on death row if convicted. She first denied any involvement,
The case now rests largely on intent. Her attorneys are trying to convince jurors she was an abused woman defending herself from an enraged ex-boyfriend — something experts say will be difficult given the evidence.
"Why did she bring a gun to a love fest for one?" said San Francisco criminal defense lawyer Michael Cardoza. "This is about damage control now. No jury is going to let this lady walk. It's just about trying to save her life."
In Tuesday's third day of the trial, prosecutors showed bloody crime-scene photos and pointed out handprints, footprints and hair found by police in Alexander's bedroom. Arias appeared visibly shaken by the photos, covering her face with her hands at one point.
Maricopa County Medical Examiner Dr. Kevin Horn later explained wounds he found during the autopsy on Alexander's hands and feet. Prosecutors plan to question Horn about whether Alexander was shot after he was already dead — a fact that could determine whether Arias gets the death penalty if convicted.
The story began in fall 2007, when Alexander met Arias, an aspiring photographer, at a Las Vegas convention. The two began dating, and the stormy relationship went on for about five months. At the time, Arias was living in Southern California and would visit Alexander at his Mesa home.
Friends of the man say she practically lived there from time to time, and that Alexander became bothered with her possessiveness and jealousy. They say he broke it off and that she stalked him for months, slashing his tires and hacking into his Facebook account.
She claims she ended the relationship after catching him in too many lies. But she says it was at his urgring that she moved to Mesa from California for a time after their breakup.
He started dating other women, yet the two continued to have sex up until the day of his death.
They exchanged thousands of emails and text messages. He sent her photos of his genitalia and requested she wear a French maid outfit while cleaning his house. She sent explicit messages; he

The profile of Alexander is in sharp contrast to what some friends and

will I do this? By strict obedience to the commandments of God," Alexander wrote in a blog post before his death.

Arias' challenges are formidable. Police say her bloody palm print and hair were found at the crime scene, along with the photographs on a camera inside Alexander's

washing machine. In addition, authorities say Arias' grandparents reported a .25 caliber gun — the same caliber used in the slaying — stolen from their Northern California home about a week before the killing. Arias was staying with them at the time.
No weapons were found at the crime scene. Arias' attorneys have yet to explain why she washed Alexander's bedding and put the camera in the washing machine, why she left his body in the shower without reporting anything to authorities, and why she lied repeatedly to investigators.
All of this, combined with the sheer brutality of the attack, makes it more difficult for a

defense attorney to do anything but attempt to spare her the death penalty, experts say.
fter changing stories, the confession, the forensic evidence, it's just a very difficult case to defend," said California criminal defense lawyer Mark Gerapos.
Geragos said her only hope is if defense attorneys can convince jurors Alexander was abusive, and that he attacked her on the day he was killed.
As she sat in jail just three months after her arrest, Arias was adamant — at this point sticking with her second story about the intruders — that she was innocent of the crime.
In an interview with "Inside Edition," she was certain jurors would believe her.
"No jury is going to convict me," she said. "I am innocent and you can mark my words on that."

Obama brings hope for LGBT rights
The greatest benefit of making friends is the increase in seating possibilities in Anschutz.
The faint memory of a homophobic, eight-year-old me reared its head
old he reared his head at President Obama's inaugural address. His address was the first to openly support, or even mention, gay rights.
When President Obama recognized the movement in this way, jaws dropped and tears beaded in the corners of eyes. I was among them. This small, ten-second sound byte took all of us one step closer to securing my aunt and her partner's rights and, ultimately, their happiness.
In hindsight, it should have been obvious. It always seems that way. My mom said they were long-term roommates and left the rest up to me, an idiotic elementary school child. By the time I figured it out, it was something like realizing pancake was a portmanteau of "pan" and "cake"
at the sad age of eighteen (which also happened to me). But when the pieces fell into place, it was so natural that all of the negative labels attached to "two women in love" collapsed.
I had grown up a Protestant in a Catholic school, a little homophobic tyke with a penchant for hurling slurs with the boys out at recess. It wasn't sincere; I was an immature fourth-grader trying to fit in. I doubt that any one of my elementary school classmates had seen, let alone met an actual gay person. Everything they knew about the LGBT community had been run through a deeply conservative parental filter.

I met openly gay and even transgender students. They were more sure of who they were as people than me or my Catholic school friends had ever been. It was incredible.
One of my aunts is a schoolteacher herself and confirmed my
suspicion that simply knowing and interacting with someone who is a part of the LGBT community can dramatically change your perception of the issue. This is one of the main reasons the gay rights movement has been so successful: the LGBT community is everywhere. They are in classrooms, state and federal offices, and blue-collar jobs disproving bigots left and right.
Nowadays, Generation Y recognizes that marriage equality legalization is inevitable. Support for it among those born from the 1980s to the early 2000s is overwhelmingly positive and growing. So far, we've all just been too polite to say it: once the baby boomers exit the electorate, America will be a much different place.

President Obama's reference to all of these groups in the same breath gives me faith that the next four years will be filled with success for the LGBT community.

While the rest of us sit around gripping about privileges we already have, the most resilient and determined political group in America remains happy as can be. The rest of us could use some help in that department.

'Student loan horror stories' inspire creative solutions
As I was browsing the web one day an article caught my eye. "Nine Unbelievable Student Loan Horror Stories," published by the Business Insider. I knew better than to click on it, but it's like being a character in a scary movie—you hear the door rattle, you know if you touch it you'll probably die, but you just can't help it.
By Anna Wenner
awenner@kansan.com
So I clicked. And I read. And soon, my heart was beating faster and my palms were sweating, and I could have definitely outrun that movie villain if I'd had to. Unfortunately, what I can't outrun is my student loan debt.
Now, some people have accepted their loans as a part of their life. Like a child, they're a dependent that sucks all of your hard earned cash away faster than you can think. But what many students fail to realize is that there is another way. I mean, sure, there's the old cut spending and increase revenue idea, but when has that worked for anyone? If our elected representatives in our government can't do it, I don't see why we students should be expected to be any more responsible. So in the spirit of creativity, here are three sure-fire ways to lose those loans.
START YOUR OWN CHARITY
Charities are "institutions engaged in relief of the poor," and who is poorer than a college student? I recommend making a few dozen business cards, and maybe a T-shirt or two for whoever will be collecting for the charity, to make your institution a little more legitimate. Then go door-to-door, person-to-person, and ask in your nicest way for donations to the "Student debt relief fund."
STAR IN YOUR OWN REALITY
SHOW
LOCAL
These days just about anyone can be on television, all it seems to really take is the willingness to make a fool of yourself on a national scale. In the case of reality television, the stupider the better, and college is known to be the time in a person's life when they do the stupidest things.
Why not have it all recorded and shown to the world? If this
doesn't appeal to you, you could always start smaller and send tapes of your friends doing stupid things to America's Funniest Home Videos. Trust me, they'll love you for making them into a star, and you'll love the money that comes from a winning video. And if they don't love you for it? Well, clearly they lacked a sense of humor. Everyone else certainly thought it was funny.
GIVE ADVICE FOR A PRICE
Personally, I recommend waiting until finals week when the student body is at its most vulnerable. During that week of fogged thoughts and panic, an offer of help goes a long way. Plus, while Lucy only charged five cents, with inflation and your neediness added in, you could easily charge 50 cents a question. You'll be paying back your loans in no time.
Remember Lucy from the "Peanuts" comics? She had the right idea toward paying off her future college debts with her stand offering "psychiatric help". Sure, her advice was never what Charlie Brown wanted to hear, but you'd be surprised how many college students could use a bit of blunt guidance.

Lawrence offers unique businesses
If you're reading this article right now, there is a good chance that, like me, you also consider Lawrence to be the greatest city ever conceived by man. Having spent nearly three years at the University as a student, I have come to love my "home away from home." And at this point I identify myself more as part of this community, than the one in Kansas City that I spent the majority of my life in.
Now I'm no world traveler, but I have visited a number of other states as well as a few different countries and I have found that there is nowhere quite like Lawrence.
With this in mind, it breaks my heart when I hear of someone I know that has yet to sample some of the "hidden treasures" that this city has to offer. Those of you that have yet to branch out and try new things are living in woeful ignorance of some of the amazing food and great shops that make Lawrence such a great place to live.
Whatever your hobbies or food preferences may be, Lawrence has something for you. If you love a good burger and fries than look no further than my favorite local restaurant, The Burger Stand. Or you could try its biggest burger rival, Dempsey's. Are you addicted to coffee? Branch out from Starbucks and try Henry's Coffee, The Bourgeois Pig, La Prima Tazza, or Java Break and you will not be disappointed. Do you enjoy good food and even better beer? Get to Free State Brewery immediately and prepare to have your mind blown.
As well as offering up some

spectacular local restaurants, Lawrence has a number of shops that are both local and unique. Shops such as Sharks Surf Shop, Au Marche European Market and Brits offer a plethora of goods that you would otherwise have to special order for a steeep fee.
We are certainly spoiled with the sheer amount of amazing unique local businesses that are available to us at anytime.
I have said it before and I will say it again; the college experience consists of much more than simply attending class and making the grade. While your main focus during your time here should be to do well in class, if you aren't getting out and experiencing all that this amazing town has to offer, than you are simply not getting the most out of your time here.
So don't be "that guy" don't get stuck in the rut of Wal-Mart, Chipotle and McDonalds. Step out of your comfort zone and try something new. At the very least you will have bolstered your "hipster" street cred a bit but most likely you will discover that you have been missing out on some phenomenal food and merchandise.

'Parker' offers familiar Statham thrills
TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
This film publicity image released by FilmDistrict shows Jennifer Lopez, left, and Jason Statham in a scene from "Parker."
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Full disclosure: I've seen "Parker" before. And I'm willing to bet you have too.
Maybe you caught it back when it was calling itself "Ronin",
"The Italian Job" "Payback" or any of the other myriad heist movies where a gentleman thief with a strict code of ethics is betrayed and left for dead by his crew, resulting in roughly 90 minutes of hard-earned retribution, the acquisition of a suitably feisty love interest and perhaps the promise of an even bigger payoff. It's also a good bet that the film you saw starred Jason Statham, the chrome-domed Cockney bruiser whose tireless commitment to the action genre allows him to crank out several of these babies each and every year.
Don't get me wrong. Taylor Hackford's new movie, adapted from one of the 24 Parker novels crime fiction mastermind Donald E. Westlake wrote under his Richard Stark pseudonym, is an agreeable serving of strained pulp, the sort of film you might see to pass the time between work and dinner. It doesn't have much depth or originality, but it certainly offers a serviceable amount of action, hardboiled dialogue and the comic spectacle of watching Statham attempt to pass himself off as an Ecuador-born oilman with a shaky Texas twang.
Here's the set-up: Parker (Statham) wants revenge on Melander (Michael Chikilis, "The Shield") and his gang for betraying him and making off with his share of the loot following the improbably lucrative robbery of the Ohio State Fair. He turns to his mob-connected father-in-law a craggy-throated Nolte (to track down the scumbags, who have relocated to Palm Springs to plan a new heist involving a dead heiress and millions of dollars worth of precious stones. In order to beat them to the score,
Parker joins forces with a spunky real estate broker named Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), who helps him get the lay of the land, so to speak.
Id be curious to know what moved Hackford, the reliable filmmaker behind "The Devil's Advocate" and "Ray" and the current president of the Directors Guild of America, to take on a project whose subject matter seems better suited to the limited tastes and paltry ambitions of an action journeyman like Simon West ("The Mechanic") or Oliver Megaton ("Taken 2"). When a talented director goes slumming, the results can be fearless and electrifying (think William Friedkin's "Killer Joe" or Werner Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans"), but Hackford seems either unable or unwilling to take the necessary risks.
Statham, one of the last action heroes to actually do his own stunts, sticks to what he does best here: mainly doing his own stunts and grimacing through the occasional morbid wiscrack. I've been a Statham fan from his early days with director Guy Ritchie through the lurid magnum opus that is "Crank 2: High Voltage", but I'd really like to see the former British national diver flex the dramatic chops he demonstrated in 2008's underworld
drama "The Bank Job" and last year's "Safe." In the meantime, though, he seems understandably content to keep doing what most of his "Expendables" castmates can only accomplish through CGI and legions of stuntmen.
Jennifer Lopez, a likeable actress without much in the way of range, seems to work best in projects like this. The pop star's post-"Anaconda" film career took off after appearing in Steven Soderbergh's crime thriller "Out of Sight," where she played a U.S. Marshal battling an intense attraction to George Clooney's dashing bank robber. Her chemistry with Statham is comparably solid, despite her annoying tendency to overplay Leslie's hysterical side. The scenes with her mother are particularly grating.
"Parker" may not be a film destined to linger long in the memory, but it certainly outclasses most action movies branded with the ignominy of a January release date. One sequence, a hotel balcony brawl between Statham and a knife-wielding assassin, is especially effective, even with the groan-worthy double clutch at the end. It's January, after all, and like this movie's pilfering protagonist, we'll take what we can get.

Daredevil walks 500-foot span 200 feet above ground
SARASOTA, Fla. — Famed daredevil Nik Wallenda glided 500 feet across a wire suspended 200 feet above the ground on Tuesday, wowing several thousand people below in his hometown of Sarasota.
Without a tether or safety net, Wallenda was the lone figure against a blue sky, aided only by a balancing pole. He made the death-defying stunt easy, but the performance was anything but simple: it took dozens of circus workers to pull and release the thick black cables that controlled Wallenda's wire as he walked. The morning was winder than expected, and at one point near the end, Wallenda dipped down to one knee on the wire, which led to loud gasps among the crowd.
When Wallenda went to one knee, the drama reached a fever pitch.

"I have to get into a zone where I kind of forget about everything else and just focus on what I'm doing," he said shortly before he stepped on the wire. "Fear is a choice but danger is real, and that's very, very true for my line of work."
But Wallenda wasn't focused on the possibility of tragedy. In the hours before the stunt, Wallenda walked underneath the wire, which was suspended between a crane and a condo in downtown Sarasota. He spoke of his city, of the nearby sparkling bay and how he loved to hear the cheers of the crowd while hundreds of feet up in the air.
"Scary," said Neil Montford, a vacationer from the United Kingdom, while wiping sweat from his brow and looking skyward.
Wallenda, 34, wore a gold cross around his neck and prayed with his wife, children and parents prior to the walk.
The Sarasota City Commission allowed the stunt without a tether. Wallenda wore a tether for the first time last summer when he walked across Niagara Falls because the television network that was paying for the performance insisted on it.
"It's my job, it's my career, it's my passion, it's what I love to do," he said.
1814 W. 23rd Lawrence, KS
Wallenda is a seventh-generation high-wire artist and is part of the famous "Flying Wallendas" circus family. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died.

Kansas is coming off a disappointing second half in a loss to Oklahoma State. The team needs to be more aggressive against Iowa State.

QUESTION MARK
How many three's will Angel Goodrich make?
Goodrich has been looking to become a legitimate three-point threat, but so far there have been mixed results. She leads the team at 35 percent from long range. In the last four games, Goodrich has taken the 29 three-point shots. Against Baylor, she was 3-for-10. Against Texas, she was 5-for-7. What will be the result against Iowa State?

The number of shots that Carolyn Davis had against OSU. This number needs to be higher.

9 Kansas' defensive field goal percentage ranking in the Big 12. Just a reminder, the Big 12 only has ten teams.
Kansas can stop Iowa State from grabbing offensive rebounds and getting second chance points. The Jayhawks need to box out better, and stop the Cyclones from swimming around them. Oklahoma State took advantage of those against Kansas, and Iowa State is also a good offensive rebounding team. Coach Bonnie Henrickson and Angel Goodrich talked about a lack of aggressiveness after the OSU game, that needs to change.
BABY JAY WILL CRY
If the Jayhawks don't pressure the ball well. The Iowa State backcourt is dangerous from beyond the arc. Allowing Hallie Christofferson to get hot from midrange will pose problems for a Jayhawk defense that isn't rebounding the ball well.

Gardner
After Davis shot the ball just six times against Oklahoma State, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said that she needed to take more shots. Some of that is on Davis, Henrickson said. The guards do not deserve all of the blame for not getting the ball inside. The key for Kansas right not is aggressiveness, especially for Carolyn Davis.
CAROLYN DAVIS, FORWARD
★★★★☆
CHELSEA GARDNER. FORWARD
Gardner led the team in both rebounds and points against Oklahoma State. She is difficult to stop when she is playing well offensively, but she has been on a statistical roller coaster lately, with games of 18, four and 14 points in the last three games.
★★★★☆
Engelman
MONICA ENGELMAN. GUARD
Engelman has not been playing like herself lately. The Jayhawks have relied on Engelman for consistent rebounding for most of the season, but in the last four games Engelman has not grabbed any more than two rebounds. It is most troubling for the Jayhawks because this decline in rebounding began in the game after Tania Jackson, who was leading the team in rebounding, left the team.
★★★☆☆
Knight
NATALIE KNIGHT. GUARD
D. ALLEN
Even when Knight is at her worst, she still manages to take care of the ball. Knight has an assist to turnover ratio of 4.28. Nobody else on the Kansas roster has a ratio over 1.87. Kansas could really use some three-point shooting from Knight, as they have struggled to make shots from behind the arc, and so has Knight.
★★★☆☆
ANGEL GOODRICH, POINTGUARD
Goodrich is the team leader. After the Oklahoma State game, Goodrich said that the team had played passive. It will likely be up to her to bring out that aggression in her team, and she will have to lead by example on the court.

Poppens can also score, she is averaging 11.6 points per game as a senior. The last time the Jayhawks and Cyclones met, Poppens scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
★★★☆☆
Christofferson is a 6-foot-3 forward who shoots 46 percent from three-point range and 84 percent from the free throw line. She leads the Cyclones with 14.6 points per game and also collects 6.8 rebounds. Her shooting ability creates a difficult match up for forwards, but her height is an impossible match up for most guards.

The no. 23 Iowa State Cyclones head to Lawrence in search of their first win in Allen Fieldhouse since 2010. Iowa State is building on their recent come-bhind victory at West Virginia. Hallie Christofferson led the 14-point comeback with 23 points on 6-of-7 shooting.

Q: What is the com-

the 2008 season?
A: 25 wins to 56 losses
Espn.com
THE MORNING BREW No room for optimism with Kansas sports
Kansas City has recently been "blessed" with some of the most underperforming franchises in professional sports. With the exclusion of Sporting Kansas City—which, mind you, lost in the first round of the MLS playoffs this year—area franchises have been as underwhelming as it gets.
the problem, and mine sometimes as well, is that we all think with our heart and not our mind. I believed in Dayne Crist and Kansas football this year. I believed when the Royals said it was "Our Time," that it was actually our time I believed that when multiple so-called experts predicted the Chiefs could win the AFC West that they had a chance.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
What do we get?
One win. 90 losses, two wins.
I am now convinced that we humans believe too much for our own good. I hate to play Debbie Downer, especially in a very public setting, but what good reasons do we have to truly be excited about next year? I'm not a pessimist but I'd love to caution our collective optimism.
Sure, Jayhawk football looks to be
making a turn. Charlie Weis found some high-quality junior-college players, even drawing the nickname #DreamTeam2013. Jake Heaps has a year in the system and will make an impact at the team's most important position as quarterback.
But do the 'Hawks really have what it takes to make great strides? The team gave away some games in the 2012 campaign, making one think that we may fall on the right side of the fence this time. The problem is no one gets a break in the Big 12. It simply is too good. Week in and week out, Kansas will have its hands full with the team on the opposing sideline.
It has been an eventful offseason for the Royals. Bringing in pitcher James Shield and pitcher Wade Davis bring help to the pitching staff, but at a cost of their best prospect, outfielder Wil Myers. Fixing the pitching and removing depth is most certainly the win-now, go for broke approach. Essentially, based on Shields contract, the men in blue have two years to make a run at the post season. This means no injury setbacks, upside performance from most of the players, and a continued weak American League Central division.
The Chiefs are actually the scariest of the three. So far, they've sucked us in with a coaching hire, GM selection and our first round draft pick. I love the Reid pick, and new GM John Dorsey has an incredible history with the draft.
To me, the biggest concern is that the team will change very little from last year's two-win squad. The number one pick isn't half what it was last year. Some experts even say there isn't a quarter-back worthy of a first round-selection. The Chiefs picked the wrong year to be awful.
KU
Free agency could make or break
Sundays at Arrowhead. Wide reciever Dwayne Bowe and offensive lineman Brandon Albert would be key re-signs. But the Chiefs need addition from free-agent talent, specifically at the quarterback position.
Alex Smith appears to be the common desire from most fans. Drafting a signal caller to develop wouldn't be a bad move either. The time is driven by quarterback play, and the Chiefs just don't have it.
I'm all for being wrong on this, believe me. I just don't want everyone to get too excited and be let down again; a trend recently. Take caution in the upcoming seasons. Our local sports might not be ready just yet.

Bowl alignment discussed at Big 12 athletic directors meeting
IRVING, Texas — Big 12 athletic directors worked Tuesday to determine the league's preferred bowl line-up with the anticipation that the Cotton Bowl will become part of college football's new playoff system.
The 2½-hour discussion about bowl alignment took up a bulk of the agenda as the ADs wrapped up a two-day meeting with Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and other league
officials that also involved football scheduling.
Most of the first day was spent discussing the makeup of the 10-team league and "what-if" scenarios about staying at that number or eventually expanding.
"We feel very good about our current lot in life. We like our revenue distribution, we like our competition, we like our composition. We feel very good about where we are," Bowlsby said Tuesday. "Beyond that, wed be unwise
to be oblivious to all that is going on around us. We need to be constantly vigilant. I think in coming out of these meetings we're prepared very well for that vigilance."
The Big 12 had nine of its 10 teams to bowl games this
According to Forbes, the Big 12 will generate about $26.2 million per team this school year through network television deals, bowl games and NCAA tournaments. That's the highest per-team average of any conference.
past season. No other league had ever sent 90 percent of its teams to a bowl in the same season.
Bowllsby said Tuesday started with a quick recap of what was discussed the first day to make sure there was nothing else the ADs wanted to talk about after thinking about it overnight. There was none.
So they moved on to the primary agenda items of bowls and schedules.
While the first semifinal
games in the new playoff system at the end of the 2014 season will be played in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl, the site of the first championship game hasn't been selected. Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the Cotton Bowl is played, seemingly a front-runner for that title game and then to be in the rotation for semifinal games after that.
When all that is finally settled in the next few months, the Big 12 will be ready to
work on other bowls.
"Once we know the host bowls, we're going to be anxious after that to put some deals together and we've got to go to that bowl which we think we want to have first after the so-called system, and try and get a deal with them, and then go to the second one after the system," Bowlsby said. "This was just a way to sort of identify our priorities."
Under current arrangements through the 2013 season, the Cotton Bowl gets the top pick of Big 12 teams not in the BCS.
Bowlbsy said it would be a "fair projection" that the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, which now has the next pick after the Cotton Bowl, or the Meineke Bowl in Houston could move up in the picking order it the Cotton Bowl is in the playoff rotation.
The Big 12 already has a bowl agreement with the Holiday Bowl in San Diego.

Kansas' ugly basketball keeps winning
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
But that doesn't mean it's not art. It's just not good art. It's not art that's nice to see or makes you smile as you look at it.
This is the art that makes you scratch your head and wonder how the hell it's hanging in a gallery.
The answer: Everyone else keeps losing and Kansas keeps winning.
Wednesday, January 30, 2013

Basketball is a sport that can paint such a pretty picture when played well, and the oh-so-talented Jayhawks have a knack for throwing mud on that picture.
However, anyone that watched the Jayhawks squeak past West Virginia 61-56 on Monday, or the slumber-filled 67-54 victory over Oklahoma Saturday or even the 59-55 bruising win over Kansas State will tell you that there is no way that the Jayhawks deserve the No. 1. ranking. Not yet, at least.
That's how it's happening. That's how the jayhawks' gradual rise in the rankings has landed Kansas basketball with a claim to be America's No. 1 team.
DAUNTING DEFENSE
But it hasn't been pretty, you say. Well, fortunately for the Jayhawks, there are no stipulations for winning ugly. Kansas is not penalized for its sloppy play as long as another win is recorded.
Kansas currently holds a slim margin in the No. 1 spot in the Coaches' poll, but in the AP poll, Kansas is squately in second place — a more fitting home for the lavwhacks.
Kansas winning its first seven conference games is a result of a weak Big 12 conference this season. The conference isn't terrible by any means — it's just mediocre this season, especially compared to years past. In both the AP and Coaches' polls, the Big 12 only has two ranked teams: Kansas and Kansas State.
Normally, making 23 field goals and scoring 64 points in Austin against Texas will result in a loss for Kansas. Not this year. Normally games against Kansas State and Baylor require the Jayhawks" "A" game to get the win. Those games normally flaunt the potential that Bill Self teams so often have. Not this year.
This year, the Jayhawks have been able to get by playing their "B" or "C" game and forcing teams to play down to their level. You can credit the Jayhawks for forcing other teams play poorly. They deserve that credit.
Senior center Jeff Withey goes for the block during the second half of the match against Oregon State Nov. 30, 2012 inside the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks' defense has been the hallmark of the team's ability to continue its nation-leading 18-game winning streak, despite inconsistent offensive production.

ENDLESS STRUGGLE
Kansas keeps winning streak alive despite inconsistent offense
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
After taking a step back and reexamining Kansas' win over West Virginia, it appears there are a few positives to take away from a 61-56 victory.
For starters, the Jayhawks extended the nation's longest winning streak to 18 games.
Although the streak helps distract many followers of the program from the offensive problems, it's another number that the Jayhawks do not look at on a daily basis.
"None of us is really even paying attention to it," senior guard Travis Releford said. "We hear it on ESPN but that's it. We don't sit in the locker room and put pressure on ourselves about it because we know
it's a long season so we're not too worried about it."
Releford was one of the more dependable players for Kansas in Monday night's matchup, where he filled out a stat sheet with 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Although Kansas struggled on the road in all four conference games, coach Bill Self will never apologize for a victory away from Allen Fieldhouse.
"Hey, you look across America, there's a lot of teams out there that would give anything to be 5-0 on the road," Self said. "There's hardly anybody in America's done that with the schedule we played. We shouldn't make any excuses for winning games away from home."
The Jayhawks also managed one
solid half from senior center Jeff Withey, who took advantage of his matchup with senior forward Deniz Kilicil. Withey finished the first 20 minutes with 13 points.
and so we didn't really shoot the ball too much". Withey said. "I just knew that I didn't want them to score. They kind of drove right at me so I just blocked it and then had another opportunity to block it and didn't really think too much."
"Jeff was good the first half, but second half..." Self said. "You know he's a good free throw shooter, he shot 80 percent last year or right at it and he's probably shooting in the fifties this year or low sixties, so we can improve that and he will improve that—but I thought Jeff played pretty well."
"Well he wasn't in the game the first half," Self said. "Picks up two bad foul, I mean two obvious fouls the first half that doesn't have anything to do with the play. Second half he did OK but he was never plugged in and that's what we have to do a better job of for him, but a lot of that was Ben tonight. Ben
The other major contributor of the night was freshman guard Ben McLemore. Regardless of his early foul trouble, he converted six free throw attempts and ended up with 13 points.
Withey managed to block four shots against Kilici. He also realized his performance on the defensive end was essential, especially after the laj Hawks guards struggled to take care of the ball throughout the game.
"We turned the ball over a lot
didn't have his best game."
The jayhawks' performance in conference play hasn't been pretty
conference play hasn't been pretty. The growing frustration for the lack of scoring and the struggles of offensive consistency appear to concern the Jayhawk faithful.
But it's late January, not March, and the Kansas players have an understanding of that.
"The beginning of the season coach broke down the season," Releford said. "He told us we were going to have bad games. And out of all those bad games, we got to win them. And the key to winning the Big 12 is winning on the road: So ugly or not, it's plays we going are to watch on film, but he's happy overall on the win."

Jayhawks aim to improve rebounding
Edited by Brian Sisk

NATHAN FORDYCE

Compete on the glass. Thats what's written on Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson's practice notes as priority number one.
Lately, the Jayhawks haven't been able to secure rebounds on the defensive side. The offensive rebounds that the Jayhawk defense has given up have been the difference between victory and defeatand losses.
Even though it's reiterated before and after every game, nothing is done about rebounding. The team gets tired of hearing the same thing; compete on the glass.
"Our rebounds have to change," sophomore guard Natalie Knight said. "And like Coach Bonnie says, it's only going to change when we get tired of it. I'm pretty sure we've gotten tired of it."
In the Wednesday matchup against the No. 23 Iowa State Cyclones, rebounding will affect the game more than almost any other game for the Jayhawks this season.
The Cyclones are one of the best rebounding teams in the Big 12. The Cyclones have out rebounded or equaled their opponents in 16 of the team's 18 games.
Iowa State senior forward Chelsea Poppens, the Big 12's leading offensive rebounder with 403 career offensive glass. This year, Poppens is averaging 8.9 total rebounds per game.
In the Jayhawks last game against Oklahoma State, the rebounding margin led to the Jayhawks failing to capitalize on a victory. The Cowgirls out-rebounded the Jayhawks 15 to eight on the offensive glass.
"It's a bigger emphasis and we know we can lose the game if we don't," senior forward Carolyn Davis said. "We always talk about even if you don't get it, you can't let your man get it."
"You look at the disparity on the offensive rebounds and turnovers, it was like 15 possessions against a quality team," Henrickson said.
With Poppens leading the charge on the glass, the jayhawks face a personal battle of maintaining defensive integrity after the shot is up.
"It's a shared responsibility," Henrickson said. "If it was one guy, I'd sub that guy out. But it's a collectiveness and get better on the offensive side. We have to compete on the boards on both ends of the floor."
Henrickson was quick to point out that the change in rebounding isn't a one-man-fix-it problem, but rather a complete team effort.
On the season, Christofferson
Alongside Poppins in the front-court is junior forward Hallie Christofferson. In her last four games, she averaged 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds all the while shooting 66.7 percent from the field, 58.3 percent from behind the arc and is a perfect 11-for-11 from the free-throw line.
The Cyclones are 14-4 on the season and post a 5-3 record in the Big 12. As the Jayhawks keep seeing Ls instead of Ws, the sense of urgency for a team that was supposed to be one of the top teams in the Big 12 could start s.
Christofferson and Poppens are set up by one of the best guards in the Big 12 in sophomore guard Nikki Moody. Moody leads the Big 12 in assists, and is ranked third nationally.
is averaging 14.6 points per game,
which is eighth in the Big 12.
The layhawks have lost two of three at home and are 1-4 in their last five games. But even with the sliding record, Davis said the layhawks aren't panicking about anything.
"We're not panicked, we're just concerned." Davis said. "We're concerned that we keep making the same mistakes. We're concerned we're losing the same way.
"We don't want to dwell on the last loss because we can't get it back. We just have to learn from that and keep moving forward."
But everything comes back to winning the battle on the glass. Even with Henrickson making the team run extra during practice and stressing it night in and night out, the number one priority will continue to be to compete on the glass.
"It drives me insane, it keeps me up at night," Henrickson said.

STUDENT SENATE
Student rights compare with Midwest universities
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
You have the right to challenge your grade, but you can't drink alcohol on University grounds.
A document made by the students, for the students specifically outlines what you can and can't do on campus.
That document is called the KU Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, and it makes sure your civil liberties are protected on campus.
"It makes it clear what rights you're able to have on campus," said Michael Laverty, chairman of the Student Rights Committee. "It makes rights a little more about the students. It puts students as priority and makes them involved with the process."
Laverty, a senior in political science from Manassas, Va., said the Code is a safeguard for students, who may feel their civil liberties were infringed upon by the University or other entities. Now that Student Senate is reconvening, students can play an active role in the political process by joining the committee.
"The Code represents the very best of the University," said Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost of Student Success. "It's based on the principles of fairness, honor and integrity. It determines a forum for violations. The University should be purposefully open, just, disciplined and caring. The Code brings a sense of community."
COMPARING OTHER UNIVERSITIES
The Code was drafted by the Student Senate and approved by the Chancellor in 1970. This makes the University one of the first to chart out students' rights.
Even now, many universities don't have a separate document like the Code to protect students. As a result, the Code grants students more explicit protection than other universities.
"There isn't an explicit document that says that there are specific rights for students," said Bill Harlan, acting coordinator of Student Activities at Kansas State University. "There's a collection of policies that apply specifically to students. But they're not really centralized."
Harlan said the Office of Student Life is the main authority for students' rights, Kansas State's Policies and Procedures Manual lists rights of the whole community, and that can be extended to students, too.
T h e
University of Missouri has a campus-wide manual called the "M-book," that lists the
Laverty
J. C. HENRY
basic student rights and responsibilities. Compared to the Code, the M-book grants most of the same rights. But unlike Kansas, it doesn't explicitly grant protection of classroom speech along with other rights.
The University of Oklahoma also has a code of student rights and responsibilities, which was enacted in 2011. Like Missouri, Oklahoma doesn't protect classroom speech, but it does protect students from being charged twice for a crime, something the KU Code doesn't do.
The University of Texas uses its extensive General Information Catalog to list out rights of the whole community. It focuses on students' rights and organizes them into an appendix of the catalog. Unlike the other four universities, Texas doesn't say anything about the freedoms of student media in its catalog.
Kansas is the only university in the Big 12 conference that grants students' protection from academic punishment for off-campus crime, a point debated over the past couple of years. Also, compared to many of these universities, Kansas allows students more say in their on-campus rights.
RIGHTS COMMITTEE
The Student Rights Committee is one of four standing committees of the Student Senate, and any interested student is welcome to join and comment on legislation.
According to the Senate's rules and regulations, the Committee reviews the Code every two years. Last year, the committee approved changes that allows University housing violations to be evaluated on an individual basis, and expands students' free speech rights to the Internet.
"The Code shows how powerful we actually are," Laverty said about the Committee. "Right now, we're considering a resolution concerning guns on campus."
The Committee didn't see much legislation during the fall semester, about 20 bills, but Laverty has a couple of main goals as chairman for the spring. One goal is to task the Committee with a judicial committee.
"The other standing committees have broad tasks," Laverty said. "So bringing more judicial concerns to Rights would make sure it isn't being underused. It would make rights more broader and increase its credibility more."
Laverty also wants to help clean up the Senate's rules and regulations and get students to show more interest in Senate and committee meetings.
"I'd love to get people on the committee more involved," Laverty said. "It's just a hard task sometimes, hunting for legislation. But hopefully we get some good issues."
Edited by Hayley Jozwiak Infograph by Trey Conrad
Only Kansas and the University of Oklahoma have specific codes that document students' rights. Students' rights at Kansas State, faxes and Missouri are laid in their general policy manuals, but separate policy documents for different departments of those universities may also list more rights.

Women considering new paths in the military
EMILY DONOVAN
THE BATTLE IS ON
edonovan@kansan.com
Members of the University's Reserve Officers' Training Corps are reconsidering their career paths as the U.S. Department of Defense opens options for women.
Brittany Simek, a freshman from Leavenworth and one of 23 female cadets in ROTC, had previously been interested in joining the military police. Now that more positions in the Army will be available for her, she is considering joining the infantry.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced last week that women will be allowed to serve in frontline infantry positions by Jan. 2016. A 1994 Pentagon policy previously barred women from being assigned for duty below the brigade level. In short, Panetta's announcement will allow women in the military to enter the infantry and elite commando units. Military services may seek exceptions to the policy if they believe any positions must remain male-only.
"It's definitely an eye-opener," Simek said. "I think it's life-changing."
Opening these military positions to women will grant them more career opportunities. Without infantry or commando experience, women have had difficulty earning
promotions to high military rank and being trained for certain military situations.
profession, Cadet Mohrbacher has found respect and camaraderie between her fellow cadets. The male cadets treat her as if they were her big brothers, she said. "It's not as big of a deal as you would think," Mohrbacher said. "As long as you get your job done and you do it well and you work well with other people, I feel like people usually respect you and will be respectful."
"Many women have fought in combat but they don't necessarily receive the same training as men," said freshman cadet Brittany Mesa. "Even though they end up in the same situation, they aren't given the same training. That's just as much of a disadvantage and it just doesn't seem right."

"It's really going to bring us together."
to women include more than just the soldiers who are sent out on the front line. Sophomores Susan Mohrbacher and Kendall Gregg, pre-nursing and premedicine majors respectively, are more likely to pursue medicine than combat
That mutual respect is no surprise. The military, said Master

Each infantry battalion includes a Medical Corps officer who runs a troop aid station. Previously, only male officers could hold this position—making life and death decisions for wound$^4$ soldiers immediately after they are injured. With Defense Secretary Panetta's release, women can enter down this career path.
BRITTANY SIMEK Freshman from Leavenworth
Despite the initial, temporary intimidation of entering a field of study that's typically seen as a man's
SergeantChad Brown, is a system where people must earn their positions. He brings that view to RTOCT at KU, where 20 percent of the approximately 125 students enrolled are female. On a national level, 14 percent of soldiers serving on active duty in the U.S. Army are female.
"We don't look for types of people—gender, training, color of race or anything—what we look for is that merit to be in our program." Brown said.
On his last deployment to Iraq, he was moved to a brigade special troops company that was 30 percent female.
Brown, now the University's Senior Military Instructor, has served in the army as first sergeant of an infantry company, the branch currently closed to female soldiers.
"Any prenotions that I had prior to that were dispelled in the time that I was in that company," Brown said. "The army is truly a merit-based system. We award and promote people that work hard. It really is a system where it's not who you are, it's what you do that matters."
to where—after they see how hard you work and how much you want it and how much a part of the essential team you are just as they are—it doesn't become a problem."
All members of the U.S. Army must pass a basic physical fitness test twice per year: a two-mile run, two minutes of sit-ups and two minutes of push-ups. Standards for males require more push-ups and a faster running time than those for females.
Cadet Simek believes that Panetta's announcement will not only open more career opportunities to women, but eliminate the barrier between genders to help soldiers work as a one unit.
Workout standards for women at the University's ROTC, however, are on par with men. Regular physical training lasts from 6-7 a.m. three days a week and focuses on exercises included in the fitness test as well as platoon competitions requiring teamwork. An optional Ranger detachment last from 5:30-7 a.m. five to six days a week and includes weight training and sprints.
"Coming into the military, there is an aspect of being a female where you have to prove yourself, especially physically-wise," Gregg said. "But you do form that team bond
"It's really going to bring us together," Simek said. "And I think it's going to make a lot of females be interested in the Army or be interested in the service."
the cadets at the University, said Master Sergeant Brown, will have their career options greatly broadened by these nationwide decisions from the Department of Defense.
Although the ban is lifted, women will not immediately be seen in the infantry until the training system is revised and running. Women soon to enter their military careers like
"Not to sound romantic—and I guess if you stay in the Army as long as I do, you kind of feel that way about national pride and stuff like that—but these students are unbelievable," Brown said. "I can sit you down with who it's really going to affect. And you can look in their eyes and say, 'Wow, that's a fellow Jayhawk that's on the cutting edge of America right now in the news and potentially could be on our honor wall as a general in 30 years."

Student Senate votes to wait on renovations

David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial Unions, presented the bill and said they are looking to create

more access for the 560 regular student groups on campus, increase engagement and offer more storage for the SILC.
The bill asked for a sum of $60,000 from the Student Senate Reserve Account. KU Memorial Unions has agreed to match Student Senate's distribution for the project if approved. Mucci said the project would take an estimated $120,000 all together.
Mucci presented three different design options from three different companies. Josh Dean, chair of the Finance Committee, wanted to postpone the bill for the next committee meeting on Feb. 13.
"We should postpone this until we figure out exactly how it will be done." Dean said.
The Finance Committee voted to wait until KU Memorial Unions presents one final design or until Senate appoints a committee that will choose the design after the bill is passed for funding.

In its first regular meeting of the spring semester the Student Rights Committee approved a resolution in opposition to concealed carry of firearms on campus last night.
Student group opposes campus concealed carry
Senate's Government Relations Director Zach George said that the resolution was a collaborative effort involving other universities in Kansas.
"We have spoken to administrators and campus police," George said. "And both
institutions are against concealed carry on campus. This resolution passed by the Senate would be sent to all legislators in the state." The resolution will be passed to full Senate for a vote on Feb. 6.
The resolution is a response to a proposed measure in the Kansas Legislature that would open the doors to guns on campus.
While passing the resolution, committee members suggested to George that he inform any student groups that support concealed carry on campus about the resolution.
Also passed at the meeting was a funding measure for the KU Natural Museum student group, and development of a bill to align non-discrimination language in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities with University policy. The changes include adding "gender identity" and "genetic information" to the code.
Another bill that would have given the committee oversight of a student judicial review board was held due to a miscommunication between the committee and the student executive staff.

New restaurant downtown provides variety for burritos

Freebirds, a Tex-Mex restaurant, is bringing a new face to Massachusetts Street's burrito scene.
"We're all about freedom at Freebirds," said Bryce Katz, director
When patrons headed to Mass Street in the search for a taste of Tex-Mex, their choices were somewhat limited. However, Freebirds is looking to change that by bringing a new, casual experience to the plate.
"Freebirds is not your typical fast, casual restaurant," said Cattlin Noble, director of marketing. "Our mentality is very easy going. Everything's cool; there's no uniforms. We're all about having fun and enjoying life to the fullest."

The freedom found at the restaurant, according to those who have already had the opportunity to try Freebirds, is abundant.

personable," said John Tobin, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan. "They were also very well informed. I didn't know much about Freebirds when I walked in, but they were definitely able to help me out."
Guest services are another main area of the restaurant that may help set Freebirds apart from the rest.
"One of the things that really sets us apart at Freebirds is our variety," Noble said. "We have 35 trillion different combinations, so someone is almost guaranteed that they'll find something that they'll love."

REVIEW
'Warm Bodies' provides a fresh take on zombie movies
While romantic zombie comedies are rare, this sub-genre has in fact been around for quite some time. "Shaun of the Dead" comes to mind as the prime example, although Peter Jackson made the first foray into this territory more than 20 years ago with the bloodiest film ever made. "Dead Alive."
However, "Warm Bodies" takes a totally new approach by not only telling the story from the perspective of a zombie, but placing the romance between an undead boy and a human girl. Before you go and think "so, 'Twilight' with zombies?" let me clarify: the story cleverly models itself after a famous piece of literature, but it sure as hell isn't one about misogynistic, sparkly vampires.
By Alex Lamb
alamb@kansan.com
The opening sequence makes it clear that "Warm Bodies" intends to bring some lightness and warmth to a genre that's usually full of darkness and despair. More importantly, it wants to imbue the walking dead with some heart.
Our protagonist (Nicholas Hoult) wryly narrates this tale, filling in the audience on his daily routine. Though he remembers
his name started with an "R," he doesn't know where he belonged before. So, he wanders around an airport and continues some habits from his living days, like listening to vinyl records and conversing with his friend (Rob Corddyr), mostly through grunting.
While searching with a group for food one day, they encounter some scavenging humans. Among those survivors is blonde beauty Julie (Teresa Palmer, aka the hotter, more likable Kristen Stewart), whose boyfriend is eaten by R. He becomes smitten with her at first glance and manages to bring her back to his airplane home, where he shows Julie he won't eat her. R slowly becomes more human-like, being able to talk in broken sentences and show emotion, while Julie develops a strange connection with him as well.
I never thought I'd call a performance as a zombie impressive, but Houtt manages to portray this undead nice guy with an understated depth that makes you actually sympathize and care about him. Palmer's sweetness and gorgeous allure engages viewers too, and John Malkovitch reliably satisfies by angrily hamming it up as her controlling father and leader of the human resistance.
Much of the charm in this movie comes from its subtle silliness. Writer/director Jonathan Levine perfectly balanced humor and drama in "50/50," while here he is able to create a friendly, nongory,inventive crowd-pleaser out of creatures we usually watch for their bloody carnage.
So with "The Walking Dead" returning next weekend, prepare by taking in the delightful entertainment zombies can occasionally offer us before diving back into their normal brutality.

excess HOLLYWOOD review
--helmed by name directors like James Guin ("Slither") and Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour"), are strictly of the hit-or-miss variety. The good ones are over too soon and the worst seem to plod on forever. My audience's favorite sketch was the one starring Kate Winslet as a lovelorn businesswoman and Hugh Jackman as her handsome blind date whose scarf masks a tragic case of scrotum-throat. No, seriously. He has testicles on his neck. I apologize if I ruined that for you.
MOVIE PRODUCTIONS
Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin take dirty talk to agonizing extremes in the grossly uneven comedy "Movie 43."
'Movie 43' skits turn stale with bad humor
Steve Martin, a preeminent comic authority, once famously remarked, "Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke."
Martin clearly never anticipated the existence of something like "Movie 43," a deliberately tasteless anthology piece that has far more interest in triggering the gag reflex than tickling the funny bone. The film features A-list listener (Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Chloe Grace-Moretz and Richard Gere) who engage in painfully self-aware attempts at naughty sketch comedy. Movie 43 desperately wants to convince you that what you're seeing is genuinely shocking and outrageous, to the point where even its most outlandish material seems forced. For this desensitized YouTube viewer, it feels pitifully quaint. The average episode of "Tosh.0" contains more artful gross-out humor.
The 12 short films that make up "Movie 43" are framed around a marginally clever premise: an out-of-work, mentally unstable filmmaker (Dennis Quaid) takes a Hollywood producer (Greg Kinnear) hostage and begins pitching him ideas at gunpoint, with every pitch dissolving into a new segment. Quaid, wearing what appears to be Justin Bieber's hair and a club rat wardrobe that would look unsettling on a man half his age, clearly took inspiration from his off-the-reservation brother Randy to play this crazed nincompoop. Kinnear, for his part, manages to look about as befuddled as the rest of us.
The shorts, some of them
By Landon McDonald
Imcdonald@kansan.com
ketball fan Jason Sudeikis playing a horndog Batman who interrupts Robin's (Justin Long) speed-dating session with Lois Lane (Uma Thurman, mercifully not reprising her Poison Ivy role from "Batman and Robin") and Supergirl (Kristen Bell). 10 minutes of bad puns and stale vagina jokes ensue.
The most disturbing segment has Naomi Watts and her real-life husband Liev Schreiber playing the parents of a hapless, home-schooled teenager. In an effort to give their son the complete high school experience, the two alternately abuse, seduce and ridicule him, all ostensibly for the sake of his own growth and development. The most tedious vignette is a tie between the lazily written "truth or dare" session with Halle Berry and Stephen Merchant at a Mexican restaurant and the skit starring Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin (the highlight of "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World") as ex-lovers trading obscenity-laced nonsense at a grocery store checkout counter, at a horde of late-night shoppers has gathered to gawk and glare at them. The worst bit of them all has SNL star and KU bas-
It's no surprise that my favorite ("favorite" being a relative term here) story happens to center on Anna Faris ("Observe and Report"), a blithe comic presence inexplicably condemned to forever elevate bottom-rung dreck like "Movie 43." Her segment, involving a bizarre romantic gesture and the consumption of untold quantities of bean burritos, ends with an abrupt, scatological climax worthy of vintage "South Park."
Aside from that brief stirring of competence, the rest of "Movie 43" plays like a communication intercepted from some bizarro parallel universe where comedy was never properly introduced as an art form and supposedly cultured, intelligent movie stars shed their integrity at the first sign of an easy payday. There's something almost whimsical about the idea that someone, somewhere actually spent millions of dollars to get this thing made.
So, is this the worst movie of all time? No, but to paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones in "No Country for Old Men," it'll do until the worst gets here.

FASHION
Super Bowl Sunday perfect time to try designer trends
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
PARKS CITY UNIVERSITY
PHOTO FROM IAM.BEYONCE.COM
If you're like me, you're going to be spending the Super Bowl drooling over Beyoncé and using it as just another excuse to support wedge sneakers and the athletic trend. What is this athletic trend I speak off? It's quite possibly the most convenient movement in fashion since the beginning of time. Alexander Wang, DKNY and Isabel Marant are all supporters of the comfort meets chic theme. Try pairing a classic graphic Adidas trefoil tee with a pair of feminine printed pants and heels and you've found yourself a match made in heaven.
The thought of a heel and a sneaker combination scare you? Both the halftime act, queen Beyoncé, and Victoria's Secret's front woman Miranda Kerr wear them nonstop. The sneakers also give you a hidden and subtle lift, causing your legs to instantly look slimmer and longer. What more could you want in a shoe? They're comfortable, and make you look skinnier. They suddenly sound much more appealing, don't they?
Super Bowl Sunday couldn't be a
better time to try the trend. Rather than throwing on a jersey and jeans and matching 40-year-old drunken beer bellies nationwide, incorporate your favorite team's colors into your outfit instead. Baseball hats are huge on runways right now too, thanks to Tracy Reese, Jen Kao and Lacoste. The trick is to always have a girly edge to go with your sport look. My favorite ways to include femininity are pops of pink, lipstick, or some faux fur. Sporty can be glam when it's done the right way.
Color blocking is another great way to support your team. Luckily
both the 49ers and the Ravens have great colors to work with. Rich hues are always fun to wear head to toe, so whether it's purple or red, you'll be looking royally stylish.
Whether you'll be wearing your preferred teams colors or a Destiny's Child concert tee this coming Sunday, be sure to wear it fashionably. Just because you're pretending to watch football doesn't mean you should let the fashion slide. Think Sporty Spice meets Posh Spice, and you'll be the real winner come Feb. 3.

Prejudice still a problem in Kansas
I was in the bathroom at Watson Library last semester when I looked over to find racial profanities written on the stall. I don't remember what they said. I see them so often cowardly etched into the wall with sharpe that I've started to tune them out for the most part.
Similarly, I found anti-Semitic remarks tagged on the wall in the bathroom of Wescoe last week. This is at the University of Kansas, one of the most highly regarded, culturally diverse institutions in the Midwest. Doesn't that seem a little bit pathetic?
Black History Month is knocking on the door and I'm reminded of the days spent in school learning about the terrible struggle that black citizens had to face in order to be treated equally. We learned about Harriet Tubman's 13 trips to liberate Black Americans and Dred Scott's Supreme Court Lawsuits to be considered a free citizen.
Every year, we listened to Dr. Martin Luther King. It's dream of living in a world where blacks and whites would live together peacefully. Lo and behold, we're on the very brink of that dream being completely realized. In fact, I have found that within the millennial generation there is very little racial animosity.
By Nathan Bartocci
nbartocci@kansan.com
However, there are those who would not share this dream. There are those who to this very day, in the year 2013, still insist on perpetuating an absurd, demoralizing, and disgusting way of life in which they feel somehow superior to someone because they are different. These hateful people have no place in the 21st century.
I'm not an authority on the subject and I'm certainly not perfect, but racism just puts a bad taste in my mouth—not just racism, any kind of discrimination aimed at somebody for no reason other than the fact that
they have different skin, beliefs,
or customs than you disturbs
me. I think this is because it
reminds me of the world's deeply
unsettling history.
Black History Month represents something different for a lot of people. For some it is to pay respects to family members who had to fight for freedom. For me it's a time to remember the heroes who shifted the world we live in for the better. This was a radical movement carried out to be treated with respect and it changed the entire game.
The Civil Rights Movement represents a time of great change
when tolerance became demanded and anything else became ignorant. It has led to a fundamental restructuring of our society where now no race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion is lesser. To me, Black History Month is for paying respects to the people and movements that led to us finally standing behind the notion that all people are created equal.
Today, the belief is simple: If you prejudge somebody, you're ignorant. That's not to say we're all about to hold hands and sing, but at least now, everyone has an equal opportunity to earn respect or earn disrespect. There are few faster ways to earn disrespect than by writing something like "hail Hitler" on a bathroom stall.
Racism and discrimination are still American problems, manifested today when a lot of people discuss Mexican immigrants or express a fear of Muslims. Even
if it's not an immediate problem for you, it's a problem in our proximity and its negative effects resonate throughout our culture. I do however think it's safe to say we're headed the right direction.
If you've ever been discriminated against, for whatever reason, then let me apologize. You never deserved it. To the persons who perpetuate discrimination: it's OK; keep your head down. We don't know who you are. But I hope wherever you're sitting, that you dislike me. I hope you find my words grating as nails on a chalkboard. Because, the truth is, you make me sick.
Here's to the month of February, where we celebrate our cultural diversity and our equality.

The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (SHIELD), run by my spirit animal Nick Fury, works to protect the earth from human and not-so human enemies.

Gregg has played Coulson in several movies, including "Thor," "Iron Man," "Iron Man 2" and several Marvel films.
What makes this news even sweeter is the show isn't just a compilation of flashbacks. No, according to Collider.com, ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee announced the show will occur after the events of "The Avengers."
Spoiler alert, guys, Coulson supposedly "died" when Loki stabbed him with his stick of
Which means our boy Phil is alive. Whether he's brought back as a resurrected human or an incorporeal being (or maybe he was never dead at all) this show ensures plenty of Coulson love. Halleluiah.
doom. His death helped unite the team of superheroes to fight off hordes of aliens and a God of Mischief. I never thought I would cry in the middle of an action-packed superhero movie, but when Nick Fury held out the blood soaked Captain American trading cards Coulson had wanted Steve Rogers to sign, well, I won't lie, there were tears. Lots of them.
I fell in love with Coulson in "Iron Man 2." At one point, he threatens to taze Tony Stark and watch "Supernanny" if he tried to leave the house. His dry humor and professionalism in the wake of treacherous gods and egomaniac superheroes makes him worthy of his own show. His snazzy black suits aren't too bad either.
I'd hoped his death was a hoax devised by Nick Fury to get the team to work together. When it was revealed that the trading
cards had been in Phil's locker, not in the pocket of the suit he died in like Fury said, I knew there was a chance to get our boy back.
And I wasn't the only one.
Twitter broke out the #Coulsonlives hashtag, and bloggers dedicated entire Tumbels to the idea that Agent Phil Coulson would return alive and well. Everyone wanted the snarky and Captain America obsessed SHIELD agent to survive, and our desire has finally been heard.
Filming for the pilot will begin this month, and with Marvel's "The Avengers" Director Joss Whedon as its producer and co-writer, its bound to be a hit.
Whedon was also responsible for the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and to put it simply, he is a talented writer. It also ensures the TV series will follow and mesh with all of the other Marvel movies. Or at least, provide add-on material.
I can't wait for the pure awesomeness this show is bound to be. And if the producers can manage to get Samuel L. Jackson to cameo as Nick Fury, then I can die in nerdy superhero peace.

NIGHTLIFE
Study the music before the show
The Lawrence music scene boasts a plethora of musical talent. And because of this, it's not difficult to find an affordable and engaging live show around town every night of the week.
Personally, I'm into live shows that reach me on an intellectual level in some capacity, and to get there I feel it's a wise move to, for lack of a better term, "study" some of the music you'll be listening to before the show. Whether it's the lyrics in a particular song that I connect with or the entrancing guitar riffs in a slower tune, the vibe from album recording to live show is pretty consistent as an everyday music listener.
I'll give you a perfect example of what I'm talking about; I was at Jazzhaus last Friday night to see local group Pink Royal perform. Having only listened to their album for only a few weeks prior to the live show, I became instantly drawn in by the riffs on two tracks in particular, "So Long (Farewell)" and "January." It's these hidden treasures in music that keep me coming back for more. The ambiance of the Pink Royal can't be overstated, and their live show was a big "thumbs up" from this guy.
My experience at Bassnectar last fall at Burcham Park also carries with it fond memories of musical connection. Granted the lasers and a very sophisticated light show presented a formidable stage for both Bassnectar and electro-sensation group Ghostland Observatory, the real musical embrace came before-hand when I was well aware of what each group was bringing musically to the table in some facet. Although, quite frankly, I don't think I could adequately describe some of Bassnectar's work that night; it was "masterful" if I had to sum it up in one

word.
I feel that since I put in a little time prior to Pink Royal's live performance, I should be rewarded with an equally sufficient live show in return. Think about it: if I hear about the show through a friend, decide I'd rather do something else that night and never get to hear Pink Royal's lead vocalist David Guthrie and his "Dave Matthews-like" vocals, that's a pretty big fail on my behalf.
In any event, I can honestly say that roaming around Lawrence a few times a week without any kind of idea who's playing where will work. You'll meet lots of different kinds of people and enjoy yourself thoroughly. But those that want to take it a step further and find out about the local bands they're going to listen to live will find that they're attending more shows to their general musical interest.
---
Now this isn't a suggestion to strictly listen to a group before attending a local live show. Far from it, actually. My only point is having listened to a few tracks before heading to a show can only enhance that experience. I know lots of people that get by with just attending live shows of groups they've never heard, and it works for them. But do you miss out on other shows taking place that same night that could have been a better musical fit?

COMMENTARY
McLemore in NBA will help Self recruit
Ben McLemore is going to the NBA next year.
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
No, McLemore's Kansas career isn't going to have an M. Night Shyamalan twist ending. It's going to be predictable, like the denouement of a Nicholas Sparks novel. The two star-crossed love interests are going to end up together. And, barring an injury, Ben McLemore is going to be a top-five pick come June.
ayhawk fans. Brace yourselves, this news may come as a shock to you.
- Edited by Tyler Conover
Although his Kansas career will end soon the pressure for McLemore to perform for Bill Self's program will continue as his NBA career progresses. Kansas is looking for a player to fill Paul Pierce's shoes as a young NBA star. Having a former player who is currently succeeding wildly in the NBA just makes recruiting less arduous. If McLemore properly fills those shoes, then Self will find it easier to recruit the next generation of Kansas ball players.
Granted, Self's coaching strategy mainly involves developing players through their junior and senior years rather than bringing in one-and-dones. He gets players to buy into a system, preferring a team approach rather than focus on the individual. But every now and then a coach needs to find a star that can take over games when the offense is stagnant. McLemore's future in the NBA could go a long way to helping, or hurting, Self in that endeavor.
In the last seven years, the traditional powers all have fresh faces that their former college coaches can utilize to sell the program to current recruits. Duke has Kyrie Irving while UCLA has Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook. Kentucky has a cavalcade of stars that John Calipari seems to spawn using a combination of magic beans and hair gel. Big 12 teams such as Texas and Oklahoma have Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin respectively. Self will be competing with all these schools for recruits, and you can be certain those coaches are name-dropping their professional stars.
In those same seven years Kansas has produced a multitude of NBA players. Some are role players, some are disappointments, some are on winning teams, and some are on losing teams. But none are bona fide stars. Josh Selby has more trouble getting off the bench than Wayne Knight in Space Jam. Xavier Henry couldn't get playing time for the New Orleans Hornets despite Eric Gordon's persistent injuries. Both these players were top-ten recruits, and were supposed to be destined for NBA stardom.
If you think that Calipari won't bring up those names, when he and a high profile recruit are enjoying a dinner of lobster with a side of hundred dollar bills (I'm only sort of kidding), you are grievedly mistaken.
In addition to Selby and Henry, Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, and Julian Wright, among others, have also not panned out professionally. The Morris twins, Mario Chalmers, and Brandon Rush are solid role players, but haven't yet achieved their high NBA potential, although they still have much time to improve.

jayhawks win a wild one in OT; erased an 18-point deficit
As the clock dwindled down, senior guard Angel Goodrich dribbled at the top of the arc with 30 seconds left in the game.
To that point, the Jayhawks erased a 18-point deficit with 8:56 remaining in the game to be within three.
Goodrich got a screen and fired up a shot and as the ball spun through the air, Goodrich said it looked like all her other shots—which were bricks.
"No one was getting into the right spots," Goodrich said. "Then we set the screen and I said 'let me just shoot this and get a shot off'"
But this shot wasn't a brick. The 3-pointer dropped to give the Jayhawks a tie game with 16 seconds remaining.
"We were absolutely a train wreck with no timeouts," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "CeCe was on the wrong side and Angel just dribbled. I'm trying to yell cause it got busted and we had players in the wrong spots. Often it's not the play you run, it's about making a play and she made a play."
After being down 55-37, the Jayhawks found themselves in the improbable situation of a tie ball game and after some tough defense, sent the game into overtime and eventually came up with a 78-75 overtime victory against No. 23 Iowa State. This is the third straight meeting between these teams in Lawrence that went to overtime.
Goodrich finished the night
with a double-double going 10-of-18 for 24 points and 10 assists. Goodrich did most of her damage in the second half and overtime as she went 7-of-9 from the field.
Knight started out the game on fire, scoring 10 of the first 12 points for the Jayhawks. But it was the second half that gave the team even more of a surge. Knight had some big steals and buckets on her way to a 21 point night, including 5-of-9 from behind the arc.
Along with Goodrich, the spark to overturn the huge deficit came from sophomore guard Natalie Knight.
Knight came up with a steal and a layup to cut the deficit to three with a 1:46 left in the game. But Knight went down awkwardly and had to leave the game with a leg injury.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis, finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, was batting with foul trouble most of the second half and overtime but managed to do most of her work in the stretch when the team went 10-of-13 since they were down 18. She said it was her duty to make sure the team still had faith that they could come back from the huge deficit.
"I tried to stay positive and I didn't want to let my teammates see me down," Davis said. "That's what I do; at every huddle, I try to say something positive. I didn't believe for one second that we were out of it. I knew we were tougher than them at that moment."
Iowa State sophomore guard Brynne Williamson, who led the Cyclones with 19 points, said the Jayhawks didn't care they were
down by such a large margin.
"They knew they weren't going to go away," Williamson said. "Eighteen points weren't going to stop them."
Though it is tough to believe a team can come back from such a hole, Davis said she had no doubt that the team could come back.
"I couldn't let my doubts be sent to my teammates," Davis said. "I had to cover up my doubts and no matter what I was thinking, I had to send out positive things. That's what you have to do as a leader."
The Cyclones shot 52.4 percent from the field in the opening half and held the Jayhawks to just 37.9 percent. But in that second half, the numbers were switched. The Cyclones managed to shoot just 37.5 percent as the Jayhawks shot 62.5 percent, including the 10-of-13 down the stretch and in over-13.
Kansas sophomore forwards Chelsea Gardner and Asia Boyd had a minimal impact until the final few minutes and into overtime. The combined for 13 rebounds.
With the 18-point lead, the Cyclones could have easily put the game on cruise control. But Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly said the team isn't good enough to put it on cruise control, but it came down to one simple thing: Kansas made plays down the stretch.
"Disappointing last eight minutes for our team," Fennelly said. "Give KU credit, they kept playing hard and made some big shots, and we didn't."

Although Kansas isn't winning pretty, it's still winning.
For coach Bill Self, escaping with a road victory in conference play is more important than how a team gets that victory.
After defeating West Virginia 61-56 in Morgantown, W. Va.
Monday night, the Jayhawks sit at 19-1 overall, and 7-0 in Big 12 play. Their record to date, after Monday's game on Jan. 28, is tied with the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 teams as the second best in the Bill Self era, trailing only the 2007-2008 national champions' 20-0 start.
SPECIAL REFERENCE
Self
Senior guard Travis Reelford goes to pick up a loose ball before his opponent on Saturday, Jan. 26's game against Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse where the Jayhawks won 61-56. Reelford had three turnovers during the game.
"If you tell us before the season, you could tell us last night, you could tell us this afternoon, 'Hey you're going to win by five in Morgantown,' we'd say 'Well we'll take that and go to the house' Self said.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
While much has been made of Kansas' offensive struggles since conference play began, its defense has kept opposing offenses just as frustrated.
Kansas leads the nation in field goal percentage defense at 35 per cent, just above Texas' '35.2 per cent.
cent. The Jayhawks have held five of their seven conference opponents to 37 percent shooting or worse, and held Baylor to a paltry 23.2 percent shooting night.
If it holds, the lajwhaws' field goal percentage defense would be the best during Self's reign. Currently, the 2005-2006 team has the best field goal percentage defense of his era with a 37.2 percent field goal defense.
"We're pretty sound defensively," Self said. "I don't know if we're great defensively but we're pretty sound."
On the flip side, Kansas has shot above 43.6 percent in five of its conference games, with at least 50 percent shooting in two of those games. Besides their narrow victory at Texas Jan. 19, the Jayhawks have outshot all of their conference opponents by at least eight percent. Only the Longhorns managed to outshoot Kansas.
So with a defense so dominant, why has Kansas won three of its past four games by five points or less and not scored 70 points since Jan. 9?
Well for one, free throw shooting has been spotty. Kansas shot only 18-34 from the charity stripe against West Virginia.
"That's bad," senior guard Travis Releford said. "Normally as a team we don't shoot that bad. We just got to keep working on it, get in the gym, get up some free throws.
That's about it."
The two previous games weren't much better for Kansas from the free throw line. The Jayhawks swished only 12 of its 19 free throws against Oklahoma, and shot 13-21 from the line at Kansas State.
The other problem is turnovers. The Jayhawks have turned the ball over more than their opponents in five of the seven conference games, including 16 turnovers Monday night against West Virginia's nine turnovers. Kansas has committed at least 13 turnovers in six conference games.
The Jayhawks' three starting guards had three turnovers apiece against West Virginia. Starting point guard Elijah Johnson is averaging 3.9 turnovers per game.
since conference play began and his assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.52 is 203rd in the nation.
"Our guard plays got to get better," Self said. "Teams that pressure us and get after us, we've turned it over here of late. I thought we actually did some good things but we made some bonehead plays."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"He's a tremendous competitor, and it's a great challenge and a task to play his team. Also, my brothers are at our sideline, for he who sheds his blood with me today shall be my brother. That's the way I feel about our players and our coaches."
Jim Harbaugh at Media Day on Tuesday at the Super Bowl.
FACT OF THE DAY
The First 'Herbaugh Bowl' was played on Thanksgiving Day in 2011. Baltimore won the game 16-6.
— NFL.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Where did the Harbaugh brothers' dad, Jack Harbaugh, coach between 1989-2002?
A: Western Kentucky
wkusports.com
THE MORNING BREW
Competing comes naturally to brothers
hit my brother in the head with a foam baseball bat when we were kids.
We were just playing in our backyard, throwing a baseball around, and for some odd reason, I decided to give him a nice whack on the side of the noggin.
I don't remember why I did that.
He cried. My mother scolded me and wiped away my brothers' tears.
It might have been an accident. It might have been because I was dumb kid who was jealous of my brother getting attention.
I've got hundreds of these stories from my childhood of the constant combative nature of two brothers competing against each other.
Whether it was beating him at a Madden video game or winning the badminton tournament we made up to entertain ourselves on a sunny summer afternoon, it was always a competition between the two of us.
Some people want to make Ray Lewis the story of this Super Bowl weekend. Some want it to be the revolution of the spreadoption offense and Colin Kapernick.
For me, nothing means more than watching two brothers coach against each other in a Super Bowl.
Sure it's over-hyped (just like everything at the Super Bowl), but when Jack and Jacqueline Harbaugh were raising their kids, I'm sure they were hoping they would be happy and healthy boys who enjoy life.
Instead, they both became professional head football coaches.
In my limited experience around high-level football coaches, I know one thing is certain: They never stop working.
They live, breathe and sleep football the entire time they are under contract with their employers.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@h
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
They don't have much time for their families or golf in the offseason when the recruiting season is over.
They just love football.
My job as a student and sportswriter doesn't come close to the same stress and pressure as a professional football coach, but I live for my job.
By my own choice, I spend most of my days doing homework, watching sporting events or reading and writing stories.
For most of my time since I've been in college, I've been working to become a better writer.
Growing up I didn't spend a lot of time with my brother (especially when I was a teenager), and I don't spend a lot of time with him now even though he's only 30 miles away in Lenexa.
He's asked many times to come up and stay with me for a weekend, and yet most of the time I say I'm too busy.
Even when I was at home, I didn't talk to him much. We still don't talk that much.
The main reason?
I let my head get in the way. My anxiety takes over my brain and my mind gets in the way of enjoying college.
I've blamed a lot of it on my parents because they have similar problems.
I've done everything to try to cope with this problem: pills, acupuncture, talking
And the whole time while I've been worrying about myself, my brother has carried on without any of that stuff.
with therapists.
He wrestles. He exercises. He talks to friends. He talks to his family. More than anything, he works hard. He takes responsibility for his homework and his body.
He grew up too fast and now, at 18, he's a smart kid who's got a bright future with very little thanks to me.
With all that said, that doesn't mean my brother and I haven't had some good times.
We've seen a lot of this country together. We've hiking the Grand Canyon, seen the inside of the White House and petted Ernest Hemingway's cars in Key West.
But one of our biggest connections is football and cheering for the Green Bay Packers.
Thanks to our father, we've been cheeseheads since birth. And even though we've grown up, we never stopped loving the Pack.
When we were kids, we played one-on-one football against each other in the backyard pretending to be Antonio Freeman or Robert Brooks. We performed over-the-top touchdown dances after we would crash into the chain-link fence.
Neither one of us played organized football, but we love the game.
Now during games, proftivity-filled texts are exchanged after the defense misses an assignment, calls are exchanged when my dad gets a little too amped about a sack by Aaron Rodgers, and we laugh.
Football is one connection I have to my brother, and it's one I'll have my entire life.
So when I watch the football game on Sunday, I'm going to enjoy the Super Bowl,
KU
and I'm going to enjoy it with my brother.
Michael Rosenberg wrote a fantastic piece for Sports Illustrated about the Harbaugh brothers that was published on Oct. 18, 2010. It was a well-written story about the brothers' shenanigans growing up and how these two brothers had become great football coaches.
This excerpt summed up their relationship very well:
"Jim's superior athleticism sent him off in one direction, and John went off in another—and ever since, Jim has been known as the brass athlete and John the reserved thinker.
"But both say repeatedly, We're a lot more alike than you think. 'We had the same mind-set,' John says, 'but the difference was he was a lot better. That kind of dictated his path."
I don't think my brother and I will both be facing off at the pinnacles of our careers when we're older, but I do believe millions of brothers have a similar story that I had as a child.
I also know that brothers love to compete. They're competitive in their DNA.
Brothers have a lot of the same mindset, but what you don't realize sometimes is you're grooming someone to be better than you.
Kevin, you are better than me.
Love you, brother.

KANSAS TIPOFF
KU
AT A GLANCE
Kansas and Oklahoma State have a deep and interwoven history. Cowboys alum Bill Self played in Stillwater from 1981-1985. He also was an assistant coach in Lawrence and Stillwater. For reasons yet to be explained games against the Cowboys can always be weird. Still Kansas needs a statement win to put itself in a position for a No. 1 seed when Selection Sunday comes around. The Big 12 conference is down and Kansas needs to keep winning to impress the committee.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Elijah Johnson, guard
Everyone is hoping Johnson can turn into the point guard, but at the moment it's the burning question. Johnson or Naadir Tharpe must step up and give Kansas

good point guard play down the stretch. If Johnson starts to develop this, Kansas could become an unstoppable force in the Big 12. If he does not then concerns will continue to grow.
Will the free throw woes continue for more than one game?
QUESTION MARK
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
With 16 missed free throws, there was grave concern about the team's concentration down the stretch. After being fairly consistent throughout the year it appeared the Jayhawks could not make free throws down the stretch against the Mountainers. I would expect the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse to help Kansas get back on track from the free throw line and get back to its 67.6 percent for the season.
The Jayhawks' offense finds some sort of rhythm. It was difficult to find many good plays for Kansas in the second half of its game against West Virginia. If the Jayhawks can start to put together remnants of their game against Colorado earlier in the year then the fans will start to breathe a little easier.
BY THE NUMBERS
33 - The number of consecutive home wins that Kansas at the moment. Only Syracuse has more with 35 victories at the Carrier Dome.
34. 9 - Kansas' field goal percentage defense number, which is still the best in the nation.
18 - The Jayhawks' current winning streak, which began after a November loss to Michigan State.

Withey continued to be the backbone of the Kansas defense blocking another four shots against West Virginia on Monday. He also had a solid first half with 13 points on five of six shooting. Currently Withey is third in the country with 4.32 blocks per game. He's behind St. John's Chris Obekba and Kentucky's Nerlens Noel. The Withey block party will have to continue for Kansas to extend its winning streak.

MARK SCHRODER
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
The curious case of Elijah Johnson continues to develop and everyone is asking the same question: can he play point guard? At this point it's hard to tell with Johnson who has struggled transitioning from his natural position at shooting guard. Johnson remains the main question on the Jayhawks offense. His shooting appears to be getting better but Kansas needs a floor general in order for the wins to keep rolling in.
Young has made a few plays here and there in the past few games, but not with the same consistency. Still having him in the starting lineup remains the best rotation for Kansas to have going forward. He's crafty and has a great motor on defense. If Young can stay controlled around the rim look for his scoring numbers to go up along with his confidence.
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
★★★☆☆
★★☆☆
TRAVIS RELEFORD. GUARD
The fifth year senior has continued to be the most balanced player on the team the past few weeks and it has not really been close. Releford has made several clutch shots and continues to have lockdown on-ball defense. He's an important piece to the Jayhawks puzzle, and without his leadership the Jayhawks might have lost a few of the closer games this season.
PETER RICHARDSON
Although foul trouble has been a problem of late McLemore continues to get into double figures whether it's from the free throw line or from three-point range. His 13-points against West Virginia was not very impressive, but he's continuing to become more aggressive. McLemore continues to grow as a complete player while working to cement himself as the No. 1 NBA draft pick. McLemore's a special player. Enjoy him over the next few weeks.

Jurick has been a monster on the glass with five games of more than 10 rebounds, yet the points haven't been coming as easy. Against Baylor and Kansas State he came up empty. Like Cobbins, Ford just wants his center to play physical and let his presence be known.

★★☆☆☆
LE'BRYAN NASH, FORWARD-GUARD
Nash was on his way to a stellar freshman year (13.3 ppg) before a hand injury caused him to sit out the tail end of the conference schedule, including a match-up at Allen Fieldhouse. Not so amazingly Nash has continued to average 13.3 points per game in 2012-13 with a season high of 27 against Missouri. He'll be key to any success the Cowboys have.

JACKSON
★★★☆
MICHAEL COBBINS, FORWARD
Cobbins
The buckets have been hard to come by for the OSU sophomore, not the rebounds. In his last two games against West Virginia and Baylor Cobbins pulled down a combined 13 rebounds while in foul trouble. Cowboys' coach Travis Ford has challenged Cobbins to get more aggressive, in the last three games he's certainly stepped up.
★★★☆☆
Brown
MARKEL BROWN, GUARD
★★★☆
Brown makes up half of OSU's deadly backcourt and is a lock to score 20 points most nights. Coach Ford uses Brown to guard the opposition's best perimeter player and for the most part he's been able to shut them down while playing 34 minutes per game.
MARCUS SMART, GUARD
There's no question that Oklahoma State runs off its freshman point guard. Since breaking out against NC State in November, Smart has been a staple of the Big 12. He's averaging 13 points per game while dishing out 4.5 assists. Yet like with most freshman, turnovers have been the one thing slowing him down.

Phil Forte, guard
The Cowboys are clearly one of the better teams in the Big 12 yet a few losses have knocked them to the middle of the pack. It doesn't help their odds on Saturday that all but one of their five losses came on the road. When Nash, Smart and Brown are at their best they can do things like beat NC State by 20. When they're not, they can do things like lose to Virginia Tech.
Forte
PLAYER TO WATCH
Forta
It used to be Keiton Page killing Kansas from behind the arc; now it's Phil Forte. The freshman sees 26 minutes per game off the bench and is currently second in
the big 12 from three (46 made). Look for OSU to use him early and often.
QUESTION MARK
Why Doesn't The Talent Match The Record?
Five losses aren't the problem, but with as much talent as Oklahoma State boasts why are the Cowboys dropping to Virginia Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma and Kansas State? Is it a coaching problem or has this team just not reached it's potential yet?
BY THE NUMBERS
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF.
The Jayhawks can't disrupt the Cowboys offense. OSU is averaging 70 points per game and Kansas hasn't scored that much since its overtime bout with Iowa State. The Jayhawks have been relying on defense since conference play started that shouldn't change on Saturday.
3 - The Cowboys have three players averaging more than 30 minutes per game (Nash, Brown, Smart)
49 - Marcus Smart leads the Big 12 with 49 steals
75. 5 - Oklahoma State's free throw percentage, also best in the Big 12

The score that brought Kansas to within one possession of the lead also forced Knight to the ground as she landed awkwardly on her right leg. Knight immediately grabbed the back of her knee in pain.
Knight was carried off the court by trainers as the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse fell eerily quiet. She left the game after scoring 21 points and shooting five of nine on threes.
It was with 1:48 left in regulation that Knight stole the ball from Iowa State point guard Nikki Moody and sprinted in the other direction and hit a lay-up that cut the lead to 63-60, the closest the Jayhawks had been since the Cyclones 23-20 lead in the first half.

Senior diver Christy Cash will be competing in the NCAA Championship Zone "D" in March in Houston for her last season at Kansas. Cash qualified earlier this month in Hawaii scoring 226 on the 10-meter platform. Cash is excited for her last season as a Jawhayh. "I'm just looking forward to conference," Cash said.

Senior aims to improve at NCAA diving tournament
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
Senior diver Christy Cash made some goals coming into her last season. She wanted to learn two new dives and earn personal best scores during meets. She also wanted to build upon her success from last year and qualify for the NCAA Zone "D" Diving Regions again.
Needing a score of 225 on the 10-meter platform event to qualify, she earned a spot with her score of 226 on Jan. 18 in Honolulu.
Cash
"My goal was to qualify as early as I could so that I didn't have to worry about it," Cash said. "I hoped to be qualified by the end of winter training."
According to the NCAA, there are five regional zones and Kansas is part of zone "D". At the regional meets, divers compete for spots to the NCAA championship. This year, the zone "D" competition will be held in Houston March 11-13. Scores needed to qualify are 265 for the one-meter springboard event, 280 for the three-meter springboard and 225 for the platform.
Cash said she estimates there are 40 divers who compete at the zone "D" championships. The top 11 divers move on to the NCAA
championship.
This will not be her first time there and she hopes her experience from last year will help her at this year's competition.
"I think that my nerves will be a lot less," Cash said. "Going in there, I will know what to expect. I've been there before. I know how the format works and how everything is run."
Beyond her goal of reaching zones, as she calls it, she wanted to finish her diving career on a strong note. She did learn two new dives this year, the back two-and-a-half pike on the three-meter board and front three-and-a-half pike on the 10-meter platform.
Cash started swimming her
freshman year at Shawnee Mission West High School. She was a gymnast at the time and joined the school swimming and diving team because her friend asked her to try it out.
For the next three years, she continued doing gymnastics and dove for the school team. Her senior year, she stopped doing gymnastics and started diving year round. When she had the opportunity to come to Kansas to dive, she knew it was the right decision for her.
"I've grown up a Jayhawk," Cash said. "Since I was little, this is where I wanted to come. The coach here, Eric, was my club coach, so I knew his coaching and I knew I liked him and got along with him. I knew it
would be a good fit for me."
After diving for many years, she said some dives become routine and are etched into her muscle memory. When it comes to new and more difficult dives, she said she still feels the rush when she dives off the board.
"It's just so crazy." Cash said. "The coolest thing is the adrenaline rush that you get after you learn a new dive or do a dive that you've just learned. It just gets you so hyped to learn other dives or try other things."
Cash recently had the opportunity to try diving somewhere new during the winter training trip the swimming and diving team took to California and Hawaii over winter
break.
"We got to dive outside in the sun with mountains in the background." Cash said "Overall it was a really good experience."
Cash has been enjoying her senior season so far and is looking forward to the rest of it.
"I think our team is in a really good spot this year as far as team chemistry goes," Cash said. "We have a lot of talent on the team, so I'm just excited to see how we all pull together in the end and how we do. Obviously, I'm excited for zones, my potentially last meet."

Student organizes marrow donor drive in light of husband's diagnosis
Jonathan Mathews poses for a family photo with his wife, Sharilyn, and two children. Mathews was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2010. He was declared in remission, but doctors discovered that he had a hodgkin lymphoma mass in his chest last year.
CONTRIBUTED PHTOTO
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
When Jonathan Mathews, a healthy, active duty Air National Guardsman, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2010, he and his wife, Sharilyn, were shocked. After his cancer was declared in remission, they thought he was in the clear. Two years later, his doctors discovered a Hodgkin lymphoma mass in his chest. A marrow donor's sacrifice will help Jonathan through his chemotherapy treatment this March.
The couple has organized a marrow donor registration drive today in the Traditions Area on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registrants from today's donor drive may be a match for cancer patients like Jonathan who are in need of healthy marrow to get their immune systems working again.
"It's opened my eyes," Sharilyn said. "I never thought of being on a registry. I didn't even know a registry existed for this kind of stuff. I never thought of cancer because it never affected me before."
Jonathan's chemotherapy and treatment regimen will require him to receive a stem cell transplant. Be the Match, a registry run by the National Marrow Donor Program, lists 9.5 potential donors. Only two registered
individuals match Jonathan's DNA chromosomes, and both are international donors.
"This could happen to anybody," Sharilyn said. "You don't think that someone that's young—that's 22—is going to get cancer and then need a stem cell transplant—twice. It really can happen to anybody, no matter how healthy you are."
Annually, 53,000 people are diagnosed with either Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Registering as
"We're just one of the many families that are going through the exact same thing."
a potential donor, Sharilyn realized, is a simple act that could potentially save a life.
"At first, I really thought that no one's going to care." Sharilyn said. "But we're just one of many families that are going through the exact same thing."
Potential donors must be between 18 and 44 years old. Registration requires legal identification such as a driver's license or passport, filling out a small amount of paperwork and a Q-tip swab of the inside of the cheek.
The donor and patient must have the same human leukocyte antigen tissue type. Fundraising will take care of the lab fees, which cost $100 to check each potential donor for an exact chromosomal match. Between collecting donations online and fundraisers at a church at Jonathan's hometown in Lecompton and at UnderGround Lab Fitness, the Mathews have already raised more than $5,100. Another fundraiser is scheduled for next month.
Sharilyn's fundraising goal is to raise more money than the number of people that register to donate so that any additional funds can help
SHARILYN MATHEWS
Wife of Jonathan Mathews
another registration drive down the road. She's hoping to register as many potential donors as possible, since the National Marrow Donor Program can financially back up the registration drive.
A full sibling has a 50-percent chance to match, but Jonathan's brother did not match. On average, only one in 540 people who register to donate are found as a match to someone in need.
"You're already putting your name on a list to save a life, the least we can do is not have you pay a penny" Sharlyn said.
If a donor is found to match, he or she may be asked to donate marrow or peripheral blood stem cells.
Marrow donation is a surgical procedure requiring general or regional anesthesia where a doctor makes a few incisions and uses a needle to collect bone marrow from the pelvic bone. The donor may experience discomfort or side effects for a few days to a few weeks after the procedure.
Peripheral blood stem cell donation does not require surgery or anesthesia. Before the procedure, the donor receives a shot of filgastim, a prescription drug that helps the body produce white blood cells, which creates extra stem cells that seep into the bloodstream. The donor then goes to a hospital where blood is drawn from one arm, run through a machine to separate the platelets that contain the extra stem cells and pumped back in through the other arm. This procedure is similar to donating blood plasma and takes about five hours and could be spread over two days.
The donating process is largely anonymous. Some centers allow direct contact between patient and donor, but only after one year or more has passed.
"Someone will greatly appreciate your donation," Jonathan said.
During his first battle with cancer, Jonathan underwent an autologous stem cell transplant in Sept. 2010. Essentially, Jonathan donated peripheral blood stem cells for himself a month before his treatment and was injected with his own stem cells to restart his immune system during chemotherapy.
When his immune system is fragile after he receives a peripheral blood stem cell donation in conjunction with chemotherapy and possibly radiation therapy this March, Jonathan will have to be in isolation. He'll be staying at Hope Lodge, a free housing facility sponsored by the American Cancer Society for patients receiving treatment in
Kansas City, and receiving treatment from the Cancer Treatment Center at KU Medical Center's Westwood Campus. While Jonathon is taking a break from classes this semester for treatment, with only nine credit hours left before he receives his bachelor's, Sharilyn will try to work with her professors to balance her pre-nursing program with caring for her husband and two sons.
Jonathan's cancer fight is covered through military medical insurance—both he and Sharilyn joined the Air National Guard in 2006. They've found support through cancer programs and fellow survivors who have reached out to them in the recent months.
"Two years ago, we would get a gas card for gas from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society," Sharilyn said. "The money that people raise actually does get to people like us and families that are going through cancer and chemo. You never know
when it's going to hit your life or your family"
Now that cancer has affected their lives, they hope to help others get through similar struggles.
"We plan on hopefully doing these kinds of events regularly, turning them into annual events somehow—if we can handle it," Jonathan said.

Coalitions prepare for election season, host kickoff parties
KUnited and Ad Astra, the coalitions running in the Student Senate elections in April, both hosted their kickoff parties at The Burger Stand, 803 Massachusetts St., last week.

Topeka senior Brandon Woodard, KUUnited's 2013 presidential candidate, said about 80 people showed up to their kickoff party last Wednesday. Woodard
Blaine Bengtson, a junior from Salina, is KUnited's 2013 vice presidential candidate. He is a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and director of Recycle and Blue KU, a past KUnited platform and Student Senate's recycling program
"It was nice to see each other in a social environment," Woodard said.
said this was more of a meet-and-greet because KUnited has its regular business meetings on Sundays.
on football game days. Bengtson said Student Senate has incredible opportunities every year to affect students on a larger scale.
"The experience of giving back to KU at that level is something I wanted to do, and serving as vice president will give me that opportunity" Bengtson said.
KUnited has been brainstorming ideas and formulating their platforms for the upcoming election in the spring.
Ad Astra's presidential candidate for next year, Marcus Tetweiller, is a junior from Paola. He is serving as transportation coordinator for the University this year. Tetweiller said Ad Astra has been working on outreach with student groups that are already involved on campus, but not necessarily with Student Senate.
"It's been a positive process of laying the ground work so far," Tetweller said.
Emma Halling, a junior from Elkhart, Ind., is running as Ad Astra's 2013 vice president. She is serving as Student Senate's associate finance senator this year. Halling said about 30 people showed up to their kickoff party at The Burger Stand on Jan. 27.
Halling said they started brain-storming platforms and ideas at the kickoff party.
One of Ad Astras main goals is to have a sense of transparency across the board. Presidential candidate Marcus Tetweiller said regardless of how much experience a member has had, they should never hesitate to speak up.

Amendment would allow legislature to set school funding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - A proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution designed to stymie a pending education funding lawsuit won't end the litigation and could face its own legal challenge, a lawyer for the students and public school districts suing the state says.
SEN. LYNN
Attorney John Robb criticizes the proposal as a "power play" by conservative Republican legislators upset with past Kansas Supreme Court rulings that the state wasn't spending enough money on its public schools. The measure would add a new sentence to the constitution's education article, declaring that the Legislature has the exclusive power to set spending on schools.
The GOP-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee plans to have hearings later this month on the proposed amendment. It was introduced last week, less than a月 after a three-judge panel in Shawnee County ruled that the state isn't meeting its constitutional obligation to suitably fund schools. Legislators would have to boost annual spending by at least $440 million to comply.
Kansas state Sen. Julia Lynn, right, an Olathe Republican, asks questions about a proposed amendment to the state constitution to change how appellate court members are selected, as Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, watches during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting last Thursday.
But Robb, from Newton, said even if lawmakers put the measure on the ballot and voters approve it, his clients still have legal issues to pursue, including whether legislators were arbitrary in their decisions about school funding. Robb represents 32 students, their parents and guardians and the Wichita, Hutchinson, Dodge City and Kansas City, Kan., school districts.
Robb also said the proposed statement explaining the measure for voters is so misleading—and, in his mind, designed to push them to approve it — that
it opens the measure to being invalidated by the state Supreme Court. Robb did not rule out his clients filing such a challenge if the measure is placed on the ballot or even after its approval by voters.
"The Legislature ought to be focused on what's good for kids and not focused on this power play over who is the supreme decision-maker," Robb told The Associated Press in an interview. "They're trying to fundamentally change our system of government in Kansas."
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican who helped draft the proposed amendment, was skeptical that it's vulnerable to a potential legal challenge. He said the amendment, if adopted, would prevent the courts from stepping into decisions that the constitution meant to reserve for elected officials.
"Whether the Legislature is making suitable provision for the financing of education rests in the hearts and minds of Kansas voters and at the ballot box," King said.
The education article says that the Legislature shall "make suitable provision for finance" for the state's "educational interests." The proposed amendment would add a new sentence saying, "The financing of the educational interests of the state is exclusively a legislative power" and "shall be established solely by the Legislature."
A proposed constitutional change must be adopted by two-thirds majorities in both chambers and approved by a simple majority of voters in a statewide election. Supporters hope the measure will be on the ballot no later than the August 2014 pri-
The state Supreme Court has said the Legislature is constitutionally obligated to finance a suitable education for every child, suggesting in 2005 and 2006 rulings that the state could face continual increases in spending. Lawmakers dramatically increased spending on schools after those rulings but backed away from their promises during the Great Recession, prompting the lawsuit by Robb's clients.

The Shawnee County ruling cited the Legislature's duty under the education article in saying that current school funding is inadequate. The state has appealed it, and it's not clear how quickly the Supreme Court will rule.

court panel didn't decide claims that lawmakers were arbitrary in the past or that their actions discriminated against some students. The proposed amendment, if adopted, "isn't going to make this lawsuit go away," Robb said.
But King, an attorney who also serves as Senate vice president, said the state's courts don't typically order additional spending to remedy the other issues Robb's clients raise.
"It will impact this lawsuit, but it won't resolve it," he said.

Participants were also given the chance to split into groups to discuss different aspects of human trafficking.

Fort Hays State newspaper discontinues print edition
MEDIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAYS, Kan.-The student newspaper at Fort Hays State University has halted its print edition after its funding was slashed.
"We can't publish," said Molly Walter, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, called the University Leader. "There's no funds."
The Hays Daily News reports that the Student Government Association voted last spring to cut funding to $19,750 from $32,250. Student government
leaders mentioned readership as an issue.
The last print issue was published Thursday. For the foreseeable future, the student journalists will produce news online only.
In 2003, the Student Government Association also pulled the plug on funding for the Reveille, the university's yearbook.
Larry Gould, the university's provost and chief academic officer, said the university doesn't want to eliminate the Leader, but "wanted it tied back into academic affairs."
Before 2003, the Leader was a recognized student organization overseen by student affairs. Students working on the newspaper could enroll in a one-hour lab class run through the communication department and

Falling out of love with Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg has us trapped and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.
do about it
Last month, Zuckerberg and his army of sly, pimply programmers unveiled Graph Search, a new feature that is currently being rolled out to Facebook users. Graph Search will be a sophisticated, versatile search engine that, according to Facebook's "Introducing Graph Search" page, will allow you to siphon through years of your friends' visible activity so you can "start a book club or find a gym buddy."
As Tom Scott, one of the feature's early users who started the "Actual Facebook Graph Searches" Tumblr, learned, you can easily find results for married people who like prostitutes, or men who are interested in men and live in Tehran, Iran (where homosexuality can be punished by death).
So obviously, people are breaking out about this. Plenty of tech pundits speculate that this could be the final, overly invasive straw that breaks users' backs and drives them away in droves. They could be right, but many of us have already left.
But why — and when — did we fall out of love with Facebook?
I'd say it all started hitting the fan on September 20, 2011. That morning in a convention hall, Zuckerberg unveiled the three features that would kick-start the downfall his multi-billion dollar empire.
The features were subscription (which no one uses), timeline profiles (which everyone hates) and a new, revamped news feed. Before that fateful Tuesday, your news feed displayed every post from every person on your friends list in the order in which they were published.
Since the previous news feed bombarded users with tons of posts, the minions in Zuckerberg's Palo Alto cult developed an algorithm that would, in theory, decide whose posts you want to read. For example, if you "liked" a lot someone's photos or chatted with them regularly, you'd see more of their updates — or at least that's what Facebook tells us. Exactly what the algorithm uses to decide relevant posts is largely kept hush-hush.
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
But news feed part deux was like communism: good as a theory, a disaster in practice. Many people on my friends list,
whom I'm actually friends with, were heated about the timeline and stopped using Facebook. Those people used to post pictures I would "like" and would post dumb links they found on StumbleUpon on my wall. According to Facebook's algorithm, their posts would show up on my feed.
As they left, that almighty algorithm had less and less to work with. So, instead of leaving me with a blank feed, it panicked, grabbing any and every random post from random people whose friend requests I randomly accepted in 2006 after they randomly added someone I'd randomly met at soccer camp. Friends of a few, random mutual friends, if you will.
And good God, do their posts blow. They're extremely painful to read—not because they're sad,
but because they're just so mind-bogglingly absurd. They're overly personal rants and ramblings from people whose posts I've never once "liked" and from people with whom I've never once talked. We just became "friends" in 2006.
I'm not alone, either. Within 30 minutes of asking people on Twitter to share ridiculous news feed posts from "friends" they don't know, I received tons of anonymous snippets from everyone's "friends."
These glorious fits of rage include, "it is what it is ppl yes i date my best friend twin brother get the over it," and, "People make me wanna take my piercings out." Both were posted on Facebook, which, in case they didn't know, is a public forum.
That's what my news feed looks like these days, and it's what a lot of our news feeds have now become. Some of us have moved to Twitter over the last year or so, where we're less likely to follow throngs of random people who tend to throw verbal hissy fits over cheap, poorly drawn tattoos.
But most of us haven't deleted our Facebook profiles, and we probably never will. If we did, wed be giving up all those priceless pictures that were first tagged back when each one of us had bad haircuts and acne. Plus, our grandmas "don't get" Twitter, so how else would they be able to innocently comment about how cute the girl standing next to you in a picture is if we severed our ties with Facebook? I don't know if you're cool with cutting your grandma off from your life away at college, but I'm certainly not cool with cutting off mine.
That's just how it goes, though. No matter how disappointed with Facebook we become, we never can fully quit it. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it's good to keep all that stuff around.
But as long as our profiles towards the number that matters most to Facebook's financiers: "users." As long as that number stays big, Zuckerberg will keep getting paid and will keep rolling out new "features" that continue to make Facebook more miserable than it was before.
And the Wal-Mart of the internet will keep rolling on, whether we like it or not.

Dealing with divorce: how to heal and find happiness
I've been in a hangover since I was 9 years old.
Not the kind of hangover that consequently occurs the next morning after attending dollar night. No, this hangover is far worse. And permanent.
It's the kind of hangover you get when you start to question if your greatest memories were lies, when everything good is a blur, when you can't remember what went wrong and when the deleterious weight of reality starts to mentally change you.
It paralyzes you; mentally and physically. It's the divorce hangover and the side effects can have negative long-term effects on physical and mental health.
I know I was only 9 years old, but I vividly remember my many awkward social encounters shortly thereafter, my restless nights, the confusion which led to anger, my life had permanently changed.
By Bryonn Bierwirth
bbierwirth@kansan.com
By no means am I blaming my parents for my problems. In fact, they've helped me with a lot of my problems. Plus, if they weren't happy, who am I to force them to stay together for my benefit? I absolutely love my parents; so much so that I wish they were still together.
For nine years I was drunk; believing that everything was fine, that my parents were happy and that nothing could come between us. It wasn't until the summer of 1999, that my drunkenness wore off and I was left to deal with the hangover.
But that's part of the hangover, wanting to go back to how things were before the pain.
If you have experienced a divorce, I understand what you're going through and it can get better.
My five part remedy that best helps me get through tough days is hanging with friends, keeping up communication with both families, listening to music – preferably cheerful and upbeat songs — exercise regularly and find a hobby that keeps you busy. Mine's writing. I know this remedy sounds cliché, and it is, but it works.
According to the Barma Group, a research and resource organization focused on the intersection of faith and culture, 33 percent of all marriages end in divorce. This statistic is worrisome to me, because, if this rate stays constant, it means 1 out of 3 people will get a divorce. This means that nearly 9,900 of my fellow lajhavks will get a divorce.
I can't help but to think which of my friends will fall into this statistic.
Of course, I want to be optimistic and hope that the divorce rate decreases. Unfortunately, I feel in certain circumstances, it's inevitable and there are no pre-cautions that can be taken. There is no divorce shot that prevents
I just hope it isn't me.
divorce. There is no pill that makes the relationship better. It's up to you.
According to a 2009 study by Linda Luecken at Arizona State University showed that a peaceful divorce resolution helped students stay healthy while a divorce that was never finalized and fully resolved caused a negative long-term effect on health.
Furthermore, the students who kept in close contact with their father did better post-divorce than those with little or no contact.
Luecken says anger and stress management are the biggest problems that divorcee kids face. The key is to find an effective relaxation method (see my five-part-remedy above). Luecken suggests controlled breathing or exercise. Also, students should change their state of mind by focusing on a pleasant aspect of life for 10 minutes. I agree with Luecken.
I often wonder how my life would be if that summer day never came back in '99. But then I stop, because this is where I'm supposed to be. This molded me into the person I am today. Maybe everything does happen for a reason, the good and the bad.
Life is what you make it. It's time to wake up and shake off the hangover, because today is a new day, a new you, a stronger you. Don't you ever forget that.

Beauty standards still rule women
I used to love those "feel beautiful" ads and I would tell people they were pretty almost every day. I felt everyone should feel pretty no matter what cards they were dealt. However, as I grow older I realize what those ads and doing that is complete crap. Those ads are just doing the same thing magazines with skinny models do. Make us believe that beauty is most important.
I have not done that to look prettier; it really was to feel I was moving forward with my life. Nevertheless, I cannot help to ask myself, "Why do I care so much? Why are we woman so focused on looks? Have they become what define us?"
lately I have been dedicating a lot of time to myself. I decided to invest more in my looks. I have been wearing heels, more makeup, changing my hairstyle and I bought new clothes.
Why are they so many ads emphasizing beauty and not enough telling women they are smart? Why are there not enough ads saying: "Go to medical school, law school, or engineering. You can do this!" Isn't that more important? Our grandmothers fought so much for us to have these opportunities. Yet we are as submissive as the women in the 1930s. Sure we are not getting married as young, but aren't we submissive to these beauty standards?
How can we progress? Have more women in politics and equality on the job market, when we get so distracted with feeling pretty. It does not. Power does not come from being a size 2 and having perfect hair, ladies. Power comes from following your dreams and not letting anyone convince you of the opposite. I spent years thinking being prettier would make life better, would bring happiness. Getting prettier did not make me happier. What made me happier was knowledge, friends surrounding me and achieving professional

goals.
We need to stop caring so much about having or not having self esteem and instead focus on being leaders. Being smarter, wiser and nicer. Not prettier. Love and beauty is wonderful. I am happy they are both emphasized every second of the day. But we need more in our lives than just being pretty and feeling loved. We need to keep women moving forward in society. We are stratified in this imperfect model, nothing really changes. We are distracted with looking perfect, instead of actually being. We need to know we can do more. Yet we let people convince us that having a man and a nice pair of boobs is enough to have it all.
WDK
I am not saying every women is like this. In fact we have outstanding examples out there of humanitarians, politicians, poets and artists, who just prove what we are capable of. We need to focus women of all the world! Stop letting the world tell us who we are supposed to be and get a back bone to make our own decisions. Those ads are just another form of power over us. Which we sadly follow.
There is still a lot to be done. Some women do not even have a voice in some countries. Women are still tortured, raped and murdered everywhere. We have the luxury to live our lives how we please. Let's live them with more meaning.

Beyoncé showcases her fashion transformation
In honor of Sunday's Super Bowl Sunday halftime performance, a walk down memory lane of Queen B's style evolution is only natural. It's hard to imagine a life pre-Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, as she has brightened our lives since Destiny's Child came out with its debut single 16 years ago. It's harder to believe that the icon has done any wrong over the years, but it wasn't exactly smooth fashion sailing to where everyone's favorite diva sits now. Beyoncé managed to steal our hearts from the very beginning, fashion flaws and all, and here she will stay.
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
When Queen B first emerged as Destiny's Child frontwoman, she was all about sparkle and showing some serious skin. Her style was young, fun and feminine, which makes sense considering she was just 17 years old when the group first emerged. Since then, we've seen everything from jaw-dropping stage costumes, designer gowns and, of course, her Goldmember afro hairstyle. Whatever it was, Beyoncé was always making a statement with her one-of-a-kind style.
BETWEEN THE BACKS OF MARS
The triple threat's most recent memorable moments cannot be forgotten. From her flawless gowns at both the 2011 and 2012 Met Galas to her unforgettable pregnancy style at the 2011 VMA awards, Beyoncé has always showed off her curves well. Her black and gold Emilio Pucci mermaid gown at the 2011 Met Gala, followed by her sheer black and purple feathered Givenchy dress the next year put everyone to shame. She pulled back an orange Lanvin flowy dress at the VMA awards in 2011 to showcase Blue Ivy for the first time.
Beyonce's love for unique clothing didn't come randomly. Her mother, Tina Knowles, was the brain behind the beauty's signature looks. The mother-daughter duo created their own fashion line House of Dereon in 2006, which was named after Tina's seamstress mother. Tina was both Destiny's Child's and Beyonce's stylist for many years, giving the band their unique style.
Beyoncé performs during the halftime show of the NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens Sunday in New Orleans.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If there was ever a constant in the star's style evolution, it's always her confidence. Even with many hits and misses along the way, Beyoncé could never be anything but loved. Queen B's half-time performance was nothing short of monumental. Though I was expecting more color, her leather body suit and lace skirt
were hotter than all the players combined. A Destiny's Child reunion is never a bad idea, either. Did anyone actually keep watching the game after she left the stage? I doubt it.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I played my heart out, every opportunity I had," Peterson said. "The result of that is not what I wanted, which is being in the Super Bowl game. But I have a couple of good pieces of hardware to bring back and (put) in my statue area. So it feels good."

THE MORNING BREW Peterson's comeback earns him NFL MVP
A
Adrian Peterson undoubtedly deserved the MVP Award. The NFL announced its regular season awards on Saturday and the winners were obvious and well deserved.
Robert Griffin III won Offensive Rookie of the Year, Bruce Arians won Coach of the Year and J.J. Watt won Defensive Player of the Year.
By Chris Schaeder
cschaeder@kansan.com
The most debated award was the MVP Award.
Each award winner deserves our praise and congratulations for his marvelous season, but the most deserving was Adrian Peterson. It came down between Peyton Manning, who led the Broncos to the number one seed in the AFC playoffs, and Peterson, the best running back in the game today. Peterson took home Offensive Player of the Year and MVP after having arguably the best season by a running back in NFL history.
He finished just nine shorts of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season
rushing record and finished the season with 2.097 yards and 12 touchdowns. His accomplishments aren't just about what he did individually; it's what he did for the Vikings team. He almost single-handedly took a team that was 3-13 in 2011 and helped them earn a playoff berth in 2012.
The 2012 season was a rebirth for the Vikings franchise after suffering through miserable seasons in 2010 and 2011. Although the Vikings lost in the Wild Card round to the Green Bay Packers, Peterson and the Vikings were significantly better
than everyone projected them to be.
The first mistake people made was questioning whether Peterson could come back this year after blowing out his left knee on Christmas Eve in 2011. From the beginning of training camp, Peterson constantly told the media that he would be ready for the season opener against Jacksonville. This was something that fans and media alike questioned. After starting the season fairly slowly, he exploded after the Vikings lost Percy Harvin for the season, when handing the ball off to #28 was the only way the offense could succeed.
Peterson should have won the Comeback Player of the Year Award as well, but I understand that Peyton Manning should receive an award for the great season he had (up until the playoff game).
You also have to love Peterson's MVP acceptance speech. He said that he is excited to win the award next year, but unfortunately he won't be there to accept it
KU
because the Vikings will be playing in the Super Bowl.
It may be a stretch to say that the Vikings will be in the Super Bowl next season, but Peterson's confidence in himself and the team should rub off on other players. Yes, there were other great players up for MVP, but Peterson had a season for the ages, and that's something that couldn't be ignored. The scary thing is that Peterson could be even better next season with another offseason to strengthen his knee.

Jayhawks prepare for last home meet
The Razorbacks earned first-
The Kansas swimming and diving team fell to 18th-ranked Arkansas 219 to 81 Saturday at home.
place finishes in all 15 events and broke two pool records. Arkansas sophomore Lauren Jordan set the new record in the 1,000-yard freestyle event. Freshman Anna Mayfield broke the 500-yard freestyle record from 1993.
"They are a very good team,
especially in distance events," Kansas assistant coach Jen Fox said in a Kansas Athletics news release, "Overall, it was a good meet. We knew it was going to be tough, but we saw some good performances today."
Kansas had some positive
results despite the final score.
Senior captain Brooke Brull placed second in the 100-yard backstroke and 200-yard IM as well as third in the 100-yard freestyle. Her backstroke and freestyle times (56,92 and 52,27 respectively) were season-best
times. Her 200-yard freestyle relay team placed second.
Junior Alison Moffit swam a season-best time in the 1,000- yard freestyle (10:16.75), while sophomore Deanna Marks placed in both butterfly events.
Kansas finishes its dual-meet
schedule next weekend against fellow Big 12 Conference school Iowa State next weekend, Feb. 8-9, at home. The meet starts at 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. The team's next meet will be the Big 12 Championship. The four-day event will start Feb. 27
and conclude March 2. Fox said the team is in a good place and next week's meet will be "really good" for the last home meet.

COMMENTARY
Will the real Elijah Johnson please stand up
There's only so much magic a team can use to save itself late in a game.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
With the Jayhawks down eight points at the 54-second mark, freshman guard Andrew White III ripped off his warm ups to replace senior guard Eliah Johnson. A vocal Johnson sat on the bench and watched White score six points in 30 seconds.
Johnson returned to the game and immediately attacked the basket for a quick layup. With seven seconds left, Kansas needed only a 3-pointer to tie the game.
The senior point guard passed up a chance at a 3-pointer, attempted a crossover and lost the ball, sealing the victory for Oklahoma State.
Sure, the defense didn't play well, the offense was sluggish and late-game rebounding killed Kansas' chance at a comeback.
But the main reason for the Jayhawk loss was point guard play. Coach Bill Self replaced Johnson, his senior leader, with the true freshman White III.
"We needed something, and we were definitely a better team with him sitting down," Self said of benching Johnson.
Bingo.
Johnson couldn't find the bucket, only making three of his 14 field goal attempts. He did have six assists, but he turned the ball over four times, including the one that ended Kansas' chance to tie the game.
Everyone has a bad game, but the senior leader is struggling.
That's the "real" Elijah Johnson that the Jayhawk nation saw at the end of last season.
The glaring statistic, though, is his turnover percentage, which stands at 28.2 percent. It could be worse, but compare that with former Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor's 22.6 percent.
His effective field goal percentage and total shooting percentage are both lower this year as well.
Maybe that's the reason why fans are disappointed. Everyone knows what he is capable of doing for this team. He has the potential to be great as a shooting or point guard.
Johnson saved his best performances for the end of the season as he scored in double-figures in the final eight games. His shot was spot on. He was aggressive by attacking the rim and showing his explosiveness.
The expectations are only fitting after playing a crucial role in the NCAA tournament run.
Despite the decrease in his stats, Johnson can still get out of this funk. If anyone on the team can bounce back, it's him.
Ken Pomeroy, creator of ken-pom.com, explains basketball on a possession-by-possession level, and Johnson's numbers have decreased. His offensive rating was 107.7 last year, but this year, it drastically went down to 93.7. Since the start of conference play, Johnson has only broken the 100-rating barrier twice.
There's obviously something wrong, and benching Johnson could help him refocus. The pressure of being the leader might be getting to him. The expectations on repeating a trip to the Final Four have to be on his brain.
Will the real Elijah Johnson please stand up? If not, Kansas has a problem here. The Jayhawks need him.

Freshman guard Ben McLemore shoots the ball over Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart in Saturday's game at Allen Fieldhouse. McLemore was 3 of 6 on 3-pointers and 9 of 17 on field goals.
It was a pair of talented freshmen squaring off at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.
Marcus Smart dominated the glass and hit some big free throws down the stretch.
Ben McLemore helped guide Kansas to a beautiful run in the second half, giving Kansas the lead.
McLemore managed to match the number on his jersey with 23 points on the stat sheet.
"They were just trying to get me going and make plays for me," McLemore said. "I was just taking what the defense was giving me."
McLemore flew through the air the entire game. Whether it was pinning the ball against the glass on defense or finishing an alley-oop, he flashed more of his athleticism in Kansas' 85-80 loss to Oklahoma State.
For the Cowboys,Smart grabbed important offensive rebounds on two different occasions in the final few minutes that led to an extension of the Cowboys' lead.
"We encouraged him in timeouts to start rebounding," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. "We needed him to start rebounding. He can be a big-time rebounder when he wants to. He's so physical people can bounce off of him a little bit."
Smart celebrated the win with a few well-executed back flips, but his ability to crash the offensive glass down the stretch is what helped lead the Cowboys to this upset.
Smart finished the game with 25 points, nine rebounds and five steals.
"We're just very excited," Smart said. "We beat one of the top teams with a great coaching staff. It's hard for teams to come to their home court and get a victory."
Kansas coach Bill Self agreed that Smart's competitive nature helped propel the Cowboys to their first road win over a top-five opponent since 1958.
"He was terrific down the stretch, and he definitely whipped our guards," Self said. "That was physical beat-down that he put on our guys."
The layhawks' emotions are at the opposite end of the spectrum from Smart's. With many close wins over the past few weeks, a result like this remained a possibility.
"This one hurts, definitely," senior center Jee Withey said. "We don't really lose at home. We wanted to pull this one for Coach. I know he wants to win against Oklahoma State every time because it's his alma mater. This one hurts a lot, but we can spin it into a positive just like we have in the past with losses."
The loss ended the NCAA's longest winning streak of 18 games and a 33-game home-court winning streak for the Jayhawks.
Still, his 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals were not
"Like Coach says, we've been playing on borrowed time, and we've been cutting it close a lot, and it was bound to happen," Young said. "Now that it did, we just got to spin it into a positive and come out and get better tomorrow in practice."
Regardless of being in foul trouble for portions of the game, Withey battled with Oklahoma State's big men to grab 11 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
Senior forward Kevin Young also struggled with foul trouble. Despite the fouls, Young provided the necessary hustle plays on both ends of the floor, including an alley-oop he executed with 6:32 remaining in the first half.
This week in practice, Self will probably address all the problems seen on Saturday.The biggest concern is the inconsistent guard play throughout the game.
enough for Kansas to come back.
"I wish we could play without guards to be honest with you, but that would be kind of an ugly game if you have five big guys playing out there at all times," Sell said. "But we have got to do something. We are better than what we played today, and we will get it back. With this league race, all we did was invite everybody right back into it. It's a joke what we did today. Hopefully, we can regroup. It's not panic mode or anything like that, but I know our staff feels the same."
Even with all the guard trouble, it's still a collective effort for the Jayhawks. The next stretch of games will be about focusing.
"When the game's on the line all of us have to go get the ball and we just didn't have that sense of urgency," Withey said. "Whenever a team does that, it's heartbreaking."
Even with the heartbreak, it's hard for Kansas fans not to appreciate watching two of the more talented freshman players in the country.
A guy who spends the time following the toughest loss of the season answering the media's questions and signing autographs for all of the Kansas faithful waiting outside the locker room.
Also. McLemore.
A guy who walks around with a grin on his face, who speaks with a quiet tone that's barely picked up by the microphones surrounding him after games.
The confident and charismatic Smart, flipping his way off of Naismith Court. His toughness and leadership helped lead Oklahoma State to a statement win.
He understands the responsibility of this team and knows he doesn't want to feel another loss anytime soon.

There was no question what the game plan for Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was. The question for K-State coach Deb Patterson was how to stop it.
bigger than the nine straight points she scored after halftime. That stretch kept Kansas in the game as K-State continued to score.
Kansas played with the same mental toughness it showed at the end of its 18-point comeback victory against Iowa State in its most recent game. Once again, when Kansas desperately needed a 3-pointer—in a strikingly similar situation as they were in against Iowa State—Angel Goodrich stepped up and drained her first bucket of the game.
There were 24 lead changes and 19 ties in 50 minutes of game time.
This time the shot forced a second overtime, as it went in with 10 seconds remaining in the first. In the second overtime, the Jayhawks established a quick lead and didn't look back.
"I was excited for our guys to get it out in the second overtime," Henrickson said. "It was big for us to win the opening tip in the second overtime, score and push the lead to four. I think that was our biggest lead of the game."
Though a three-point shot saved them, the Jayhawks lived in the paint with forwards Carolyn Davis and Chelsea Gardner. In the second half, Henrickson adjusted her game plan to make sure the post players were touching the ball.
"We said, 'You're both gonna sit on the block and all we're gonna
do is dribble, weave or hand-off,"
Henrickson said. "Just throw it to
those guys and let them work."
The plan sounded good to Gardner, and she executed it by scoring 19 points on nine field goals while adding four blocks on the defensive end.
"Bonnie told both of us that we needed to sit down," Gardner said, "so we sat down and waited for the basketball."
It was the first game
Henrickson's team played since that Iowa State game, when sophomore guard Natalie Knight tore her ACL, an injury that will most likely keep her out for the rest of the season. Knight would have defended senior K-State guard Brittany Chambers, the Big 12's leading scorer this season.
"Of the many wonderful things that Natalie Knight does. She is our best defender, and she has done the best job on her (Chambers)."
"At the end of the day, it's a big, big, big win for us." Henrickson said.
Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks still managed to hold Chambers to 14 points on 5 of 22 shooting from the field without Knight by defending with junior CeCe Harper and Goodrich.
