STATE GOVERNMENT
Pro-choice groups file lawsuits against abortion bill
MATT JOHNSON
editor@kansan.com
Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights have filed separate lawsuits against a 47-page anti-abortion bill signed by Gov. Sam Brownback in April.
House Bill 2253 is scheduled to take effect today. The bill bans sex-selection abortions, rescinds tax incentives for abortion providers and women who receive abortions, prohibits employees and volunteers of abortion providers from sharing information about sexuality in public schools and states that human life begins "at fertilization."
While Planned Parenthood has filed a federal lawsuit against three specific components of the bill, the Center for Reproductive Rights has filed a state lawsuit against the bill in its entirety. The bill requires doctors to disclose controversial information about the medical risks associated with the procedure — including the link between abortion and breast cancer, which the American Cancer Society disputes. Clinics also have to provide "Printed materials that inform the pregnant woman of the probable anatomical and physiological characteristics of the unborn child at two week gestational increments from fertilization to full term." These materials are to include information about the fetus's capacity to feel pain by the 20th week of development. Planned Parenthood only performs abortions before 21.6 weeks and rarely does so before the 20th week.
Elise Higgins, the manager of government affairs at Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, expressed her organization's concern with the 20th week threshold in the state's literature.
Kansas, said the information about fetal development and pain is unwelcome yet factual.
"I's a truthful consideration," she said. "Everybody knows these babies feel excruciating pain, it's just that the abortion clinics don't want people to hear about it."

House Bill 2253 also includes a provision requiring doctors to inform women that abortion terminates the life of a "whole, separate, unique, living being" — a provision Planned Parenthood alleges is a violation of free speech because some doctors do not share that view.
"We don't think government officials should be able to force us to publicly endorse their views about abortion," Higgins said.
Doctors are permitted to voice their opinions about the matter, even if they directly contradict the above claim. Ostowski said this caveat renders Planned Parenthood's case about free speech meritless.
"A doctor could have posters on the walls that read, "Disregard everything the state has told you," she said, "But you have to say exactly what you're going to do when you do a procedure."
"As long as we're being compelled by the government to make that ideological statement, then that's a violation of free speech," she said.
Planned Parenthood has also taken issue with a section of the bill that requires the websites of abortion providers to display a link to and endorsement of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment right-to-know information site. Higgins said this is more coerced speech.
Higgins argues that the requirement to call the fetus a "whole, separate, unique, living being" is coercive.

"I'ts not just the hyperlink, it's the endorsement," she said. "We're required to say that it's scientifically accurate, unbiased and nonjudgmental information — all three of which are false. The information is designed to coerce and shame women who are seeking abortions."
Ostrowski said the information is accurate and that women deserve access to it.
"They say they're pro-choice, but they want to deny women information," she said. "How can a woman be harmed by more information?"

City sponsors race through downtown
LAWRENCE
The Mass Street Mile race took runners on a course through downtown Lawrence yesterday. The race began at Weaver's Department Store on Ninth and Massachusetts streets. There were three heats: the men's and women's competitive races and the recreational mile. The mile-long race course was flat and went down Massachusetts Street, New Hampshire Street, Vermont Street and made a loop back to the starting line in front of Weaver's.
"It's a nice distance to go, and it's open to everyone," said GoSilverback employee Kelsey Vorgert.
The race was sponsored by
VanGo, Inc., the City of Lawrence and GoSilverback. While the races were not competitive, participants who placed first received a piece of artwork from children in VanGo's after school programs.
The flat race course was considered a plus to many of the participants, including Crystal Effler, who is visiting the University this summer.
"The race went very well," she said. "It was a great distance for me, and there was a good number of hills."
Participant Jeremy Hammer said that he was dared to do the race after having already participated in the Double Road Race earlier on Sunday.
"It was fun and crazy," he said after finishing.

Negative stereotypes define gender roles
There was a pronounced atmosphere of euphoria on June 26 when the Supreme Court ruled that section three of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional. While the justices themselves were responsible for the rendering of the decision, it wouldn't be possible to have achieved such a milestone in LGBT rights without the undying support of its allies. Indeed, what people must know is that personal beliefs, on the micro level, can have major implications for the rest of the nation. To achieve the next step in expanding LGBT rights, some widely held attitudes about homosexuality must change — namely, gender norms. These anachronistic social constructs charge men with fulfilling masculine roles in society, and women with fulfilling feminine roles.
In relation to the plight of the LBGT, gender norms often manifest themselves in labels such as "too gay," which suggests a gay person
By William Ashley
washley@kansan.com
has moved out of their acceptable, gender assigned role. People who say this about others are obviously making assumptions rooted in stringent gender binaries, which suggest that men should behave like men and women should behave like women. Those who adhere to this paradigm can only be partial supporters of the LGBT at best. Because they believe being gay is okay, so long as the gay person in question does not cross their arbitrarily constructed concepts of masculinity and femininity. What's more, gay people themselves face a stigma in their own communities
from this construct. Popular gay dating apps are riddled with statements like "no fem." With just two words, their entire personality has been discounted.
The statement, "too gay," itself is a fallacy. Homosexuality exists on a continuum and adheres to no socially constructed boundary. Studies have shown that many people fall into a grey area of sexuality, which makes these labels even more arbitrary and harmful. No human can be too much of who the are, and this label only serves to make them ashamed of it. When it comes to being gay, the limit does not exist.
Labels like these fracture group cohesion by otherizing the LGBT community internally and externally and keep them at a safe distance from their heterosexual counterparts. In order to move into equality, the LGBT community, in its multiplicity, must be fully embraced. That entails eliminating all conceptions of what roles
and behaviors men and women should adopt in society. Legislative victories will be hallow if the LGBT still feel excluded because they play a role society finds unfit for them.
Ten years ago, in 2003, the Supreme Court found in Lawrence v. Texas that criminalizing consensual homosexual sex acts was unconstitutional. Now, in 2013, our nation has taken the next greatest step. The societal gains made have been in no way infinitesimal or negligible. Our nation has gone from viewing homosexuality as a criminal offense to a normal display of human affection in a mere decade, but there's more to be done. Heteronormative beliefs are from a bygone era, and so too they must go. If we embrace all kinds of people for who they are, maybe at the end of our lives, we will be able to say we got to see the world change.

A CUP O' JO
Satisfying coffee addiction fuels daily routine
It's impossible, at least for me, to not feel like a motivational speaker after that first cup. I'm snapping my fingers, clicking my heels, and cheerly addressing people by their full names. The 8 a.m. hour is where about 90 percent of my daily productivity is focused. I won't complain if I'm the model American worker (if only for 60 minutes).
Without coffee, my day is like trench warfare. Blaring sounds, blinding light, and mud everywhere. I've sold my soul to the coffee plant like so many others and now my days are sitting somewhere between a quiet afternoon in 'Nam and a playground wrestling match.
If you're anyone looking to do anything, you've probably sat down for a cup of coffee first. Without thinking, you are filling up the reservoir with a half-gallon of pale brown water, punching the brew button, and slamming back a mug of raw fuel.
That's when the mid-morning famine happens. Some evil scientist at Folgers definitely met with an even more sinister scientist at Panera to add a bread-craving chemical to every batch of coffee ever. Fighting past that 11 a.m. urge to gobble some pastries has probably saved me a thousand dollars and my freshman 15.
Lunch and the hour and a half following are the least exciting of my day. I have enough caffeine-laced energy to function but not enough to really excel. It is the nadir of an otherwise entertaining struggle to get stuff done. But then comes the lowest of lows. The blasphemous Five-Hour-Energy popularized the concept of "that 2:30 p.m." feeling and at the same time underplayed it. It's even worse in the summertime, when walking around soaks you in sweat and leaves you gasping. In my more excited states I convince myself I'm dying of coffee withdrawal.
By Wil Kenney
wkenney@kansan.com
With a meth-head's ravenous hunger, I'm on the lookout for a Starbucks or a half-empty cup that somebody forgot at the Underground. I'm digging through trashcans in break rooms to suck on used filters. I am so high-strung you could pluck me for a high E.
It's there around 4 p.m. when I finally just resign myself to being trapped in that haze of sluggishness with no chance of escape until I hit the sheets. I normally chalk it up to a hard day's work, but if I'm really honest with myself, it's just the side
effects of a poorly managed addiction. I'd be terrible with heroine, I swear.
Despite my daily epic struggle with this bean, it's hard not to rely on it. If I weren't so manic and completely stuck in my head all the time, it'd probably be good for me. The only real drawback to coffee is dependence, and its benefits are what carried America through most of the 20th century. Between the Great Depression, Great War, and the 80s, I don't know where we'd be without it.
So on most days, I forego any sense of caution with my coffee and just go nuts. It hasn't failed me yet, and spending almost a third of my day in the bathroom means I'm playing a lot of games on my phone. Who cares about that though? Coffee up, America!

TELEVISION
Avoid confusing, disturbing, silly, sucky television shows
By Kaitlyn Hilgers
khilgers@kansan.com
Carly Aquilino, stand-up comedian and cast member of "Girl Code."
Whether it is a murder mystery, your latest addiction, or a silly sitcom, between cable and Netflix, there is something for everyone to watch on television. However, there are the shows that really shouldn't be for anybody. These shows are shows that should be avoided at all costs. They aren't all that bad; they just suck you in, causing you to lose a full day. Sometimes, they actually do suck.
MTV
ANYTHING ON BRAVO
Don't get me wrong, I am the first one to switch to Bravo during my channel surfing, and more often than not, there is something that attracts my interests. America's Next Top Model Marathon? Real Housewives? Top Chef? Yes, please. I will sit down with
my morning cup of coffee promising myself one episode, but time flies when you are watching stupid people argue, I guess, because all of a sudden it is the evening and I have successfully wasted a full day in front of the television. So if you are hoping to be productive, it would be wise to avoid Bravo.
'GIRL CODE'
This show just disturbs me on all levels. Not only is it shallow and stereotypical, but it makes it seem as though all women are like those on the show and even look up to them. Every time I watch this show, I am appalled that women — and men, for that matter — are showing support for a show that literally tells me I should wear makeup every day to look acceptable. I don't like anyone telling me what to do or how to do something, and I especially don't like it from women who seem to think they know everything. Shows should learn to build women up, not tear them down or tell them which kind of sport fan they should be in order to impress the men around them. I will watch baseball. Padres just
not wear makeup all at the same time,
thank you very much. Ultimately, this
show is trash, and not even the good
kind of trash, the stinky kind.
'HEMLOCK GROVE'
I really don't know what it is about this Netflix original that makes it so unwatchable. When I read the description, I thought it would be scary, interesting and downright good. Instead, it's a confusing, weird and just stupid show. I have tried three times now to get into it, and every time, I come out loathing it even more for taking precious time out of my day.
In the end, these are just my opinions. For all I know, Girl Code could
be your next obsession or you could think that Hemlock Grove is a television masterpiece. But I have a hard time believing that could happen, and so with that, I recommend you spend your time watching other shows. Like, pretty much any other show. Seriously.

STAYING COOL
Myth busters: warm weather foods
BAEWU
Lawrence is deep in summer, with humidity and rising temperatures inevitable.
Staying cool and hydrated is essential to a healthy July and August. Pavika Saripalli, a physician at Watkins Health Center, busted some of the most common myths associated with food and drinks during the warmer weather.
MYTH: A cold beer will cool you down.
ERIN BREMER/KANSAN
FACT. "Alcohol dilates the blood vessels. You may feel like you're more able to get heat out of the body, but this has not been proven," Saripalli
said. "I never want to advocate more than two drinks in 24 hours. Your liver cannot process more than five servings of alcohol. It may make you feel cooler, but it won't actually make you cooler."
MYTH: Spicy foods cool you down.
FACT. "There are no foods that can actually raise or lower your body temperature," Saripalli said.
WHAT YOU SHOULD BE EATING OR DRINKING:
"Dehydration will promote heat retention, so you should be drinking a lot of water," Saripalli said. "You can feel cooler by eating certain
foods like fruits and vegetables especially ones that contain a lot of water like grapes, melons, lettuce, cabbage and celery."
WHAT TO AVOID:
"Avoid caffiene; it promotes a sense of warmth. Take the least amount of decongestants and ADD/ADHD medicine as possible; they make you feel hotter," Saripalli said. "Don't eat any more carbohydrates than what is necessary because carb's converted to heat quickly."
So, before you reach for the beer or hot sauce to cool yourself down, remember that water is your best bet, whether in a glass or in your
fruit.
EASY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE:
1 pint of strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
1 pound seedless grapes, halved
3 kiwis, peeled and sliced
3 bananas, sliced
1 (21 ounce) can of peach pie filling
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and gently mix in peach pie filling. Chill for one hour before serving.

LAWRENCE
Tour of Lawrence brings cyclers to town, campus
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Rochelle Schleicher, from Kansas City, crossed the finish of the 2013 Tour of Lawrence at the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road after 33 minutes and 40 seconds of cycling the challenging course around Lawrence and the University campus.
She was the winner of the women's Masters Category Four race, but the difficulty of climbing the hills of Lawrence on her bicycle had left little energy for a celebration. However, Schleicher still managed to enjoy the ride.
"It's a climber's course," Schleicher said, referring to the many hills that riders had to overcome to reach the finish. "So, either you like to climb or you don't. I loved it."
The annual event was on Saturday and Sunday. The Meadowbrook Apartments KU Campus Circuit Race were on Saturday.
Bob Sanner has organized the event since it began five years ago. He became interested in hosting a cycling race in Lawrence after watching the collegiate nationals here nine years ago.
When he began organizing the event Sanner couldn't think of any better place for a cycling course in the area than the hills of campus.
"I'm grateful that the University administration allows us to do this," Sanner said as he stood near the start/finish line of the race. "I don't know if there's any other event where they shut the campus down for an
entire day."
Members of the KU Cycling Club team enjoyed competing on their own campus, and used their familiarity with the course to their advantage.
Adam Trunnell, a junior from Liberty, Mo., said he had been preparing for the race all year by biking up the hill to class.
He said that despite controversy the sport of cycling has recently faced in the media, there are a lot of people who still love the sport, and Lawrence is a perfect example.
"Lawrence is a nice pocket of a lot of really good cycling," Trunnell said. "I think these races are great for the community, the riders, and the University."

DATING
Celebrating in style
A guide to making this Independence Day an "explosive" one with your significant other
SARAH NOONAN
snoonan@kansan.com
Last year, Kelcee Sachtleben and her boyfriend took their 4th of July celebration to a new level. They spent the day at Clinton Lake siping summer brew and cruising the water on a pontoon boat. At night, they ate barbecue and lay under a 30-minute firework show right in downtown Lawrence.
Lawrence doesn't have sun-kissed beaches or a wild party scene, but it does offer a range of amusing events to make this Independence day one to remember.
"I didn't have the money to go to the Ozarks or a big festival," Sachtleben said. "So, I just tried to relax and make the best of it in Lawrence, which ended up being a blast."
If Sachtleben's story sounds appealing, the full service marina at Clinton Lake is offering pontoon boat rentals, varying in size and price, from nine a.m. until five p.m. on July 4. The sandy shores also provide for a great fishing experience and the 400 campesites are ideal for a day-long picnic or cookout.
No summer celebration is complete with out one of Kansas City's most well-known foods, barbeque. Dillon's is offering their week-long Rib fest event from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Right outside the entrance will be ready-to-eat Hardwood Smoked Baby Back ribs available for only $10.99 a slab.
Seth Nauman, assistant manager at Dillon's, said the ribs will add some zest to peoples' Fourth of July eating.
"We're cooking them on a charcoal
grill daily," Nauman said. "There will also be samples for anyone who's interested. It's definitely worth checking out because ribs make for a great Fourth of July dinner."
Make Independence Day the ultimate date night. After dinner, grab a bottle of wine and a blanket, and head down to Seventh and Kentucky streets for the annual fireworks show in Lawrence. The display starts at 9:45 p.m. and should last about 30 minutes.
"Everyone should celebrate" Sachtleben said. "Even if you have to work in the morning or go to class, Fourth of July only comes once a year. America didn't fight Great Britain for nothing."

excess HOLLYWOOD review
Feig's 'The Heat' burns through buddy cop clichés
By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
Paul Feig's cheerfully profane lady cop comedy "The Heat" is the latest example of why it's never a good idea to judge a film by its trailer.
106
A neurotic FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) teams up with a coarse Boston policewoman (Melissa McCarthy) in Paul Feig's comedy "The Heat."
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION
One of two disconcertingly similar Melissa McCarthy vehicles initially set to debut in early 2013, the first trailer for "The Heat" undersold Feig's eagerly awaited follow-up to "Bridesa maids" as a middling mélange of odd couple slapstick and police procedural clichés. McCa-rthy's other project, "Identity Thief", conversely attracted viewers with ads promising a rollicking road comedy in the tradition of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles".
Yet quality – or lack thereof – is seldom the determinant factor of a
film's success. Even though "Identity Thief" ended up being, to quote my own review, a "lazy, obnoxious belch of a movie" that was greeted with almost universal critical disdain when it was released last February, it still managed to turn a hefty profit at the box office. In fact, its reception may have played a part in convincing 20th Century Fox executives to

move "The Heat," whose advance screenings had been generating considerably more positive buzz, from its original April 5 release date to the butter-clogged heart of blockbuster season.
Well, Fox's gamble is our gain,
because "The Heat" is actually one
of the summer's sturdier tent-poles:
a wickedly funny buddy cop spoof that capitalizes on the unlikely chemistry of its two leading ladies. Like "Bridesmaids," this is also a movie that seems bound and determined to prove that women can be every bit as raucous and raunchy as their male counterparts, subjecting McCarthy and her co-star Sandra Bullock to all manner of violent pratfalls, gross-out sight gags and a near-constant stream of genitalia references. Hooray for progress!
Bullock, essentially reprising her endearingly awkward "Miss Congeniality" character, plays Sarah Ashburn, a high-strung FBI agent tasked with hunting down an infamous South Boston drug lord. While interrogating a
low-level dealer (YouTube celebrity Spoken Reasons), Sarah runs afoul of Officer Shannon Mullins (McCarthy), a sailor-mouthed Boston-Irish cop who proudly wears her badge under several layers of biker denim and conveniently reversible t-shirts. Would it surprise you to learn these two eventually become the ultimate crime-fighting duo?
.
Let's be honest: the buddy cop flick is one of screenwriting's stalent formulas. Recent examples like "Cop Out" and "Showtime" lowered the industry's already low standards for rote, cynical storytelling. "The Heat" distinguishes itself not by breaking the mold but by acknowledging the set-up's inherent limitations, pepering its familiar plot with savvy, irreverent dialogue that knowingly parodies the hyper-masculine excesses of films like "Lethal Weapon" and "Bad Boys," particularly during a scene where McCarthy goes on an improvised tirade while searching her captain's office for his missing testicles.
McCarthy, a talented actress resigned to playing coarse, loud
mouthed eccentrices, nevertheless imbues the movie with an infectious sense of fun and confident charm, especially whenever she's taking Bullock to task for being too arrogant or socially awkward. Bullock, meanwhile, proves herself a worthy foil, taking the brunt of her co-star's insults while occasionally letting loose with a few memorable barbs of her own. A running gag involving her one-sided friendship with her neighbor's cat is oddly inspired.
"The Heat" also benefits from a supporting cast of comedy notables, including Michael McDonald (MADtv) as a knife-wielding mob assassin and Dan Bakkedahl as a misogynistic DEA agent who quickly becomes McCarthy's sworn enemy (and the target of a seemingly inexhaustible number of albino jokes). In the end, though, the success of "The Heat" can be largely attributed to McCarthy, a freewheeling comic presence whose appeal transcends typecasting.

Vegetarianism attracts college-aged people
ty cheeses
An employee at The Community Mercantile in Lawrence restocks the shelves with vegan options on Saturday. In addition to selling organic and vegan products The Merc, offers a variety of cooking classes to customers each month.

On a sweltering summer day 38 years ago, an order for a double meateater's deep dish pizza came up in the kitchen window. Standing next to the blistering heat rising from the oven, Nancy O'Connor — then fresh out of college — had a moment of clarity.
"I opened the oven door and went,
"Wow, I wonder what it would be like to walk away from this food," she said.
Thousands of students are finding themselves in O'Connor's shoes, making the movement away from meat. A 2008 study by Vegetarian Times reported that of the 7.3 million vegetarian Americans, 42 percent are age 18 to 34.
At O'Connor's childhood home, meat was the heart of the plate and vegetables were an afterthought. Even though when she left for college a vegetarian lifestyle was almost a sort of counterculture, she was empowered to explore outside the cuisine she grew up with.
It opened her eyes, and she never looked back.
Now O'Connor teaches classes geared toward a vegetarian diet at the Community Mercantile (the Merc). However, participants aren't all tried-and-true vegetarians. More often than not, they're simply looking for ways to improve, balance and broaden their palates.
O'Connor believes that for beginners, eating vegetarian at least once a week can have health and environmental benefits. Her philosophy is that meat can play a supporting role on a plate.
"If you're eating meat, it can be more of an embellishment rather than a star," she explained.
For around $5, her students walk away with a new recipe and a food freebie from a one-hour class like "A Crash Course in Tofu," or "A Veggie Picnic."
And the refrigerators and freezers
at the Merc are stocked with everything from veggie burgers and tofu hot dogs to vegetarian Indian entrées and pizzas.
The Lawrence community is incredibly vegan- and vegetarian-friendly, with local produce suppliers like the Merc, Natural Grocers and the Farmer's Market. According to
VegGuide.org, there are 20 Lawrence restaurants that offer alternative, vegetarian-friendly menu options. In the 2013 Best of Lawrence awards, Zen Zero took the gold for best vegetarian eatery.
Also included on the list are Ingredient and Mad Greek, two of Lauren Fleming's favorite spots to chow down on a vegetarian meal.

Fleming, a sophomore from Lawrence, said she was challenged into becoming a vegetarian when her sister decided to follow the lifestyle. It was gradual — first she gave up red meat and then made a full transition after high school.
It was a little awkward at family lunches at her grandparent's cattle farm. However, Fleming said her vegetarian diet has influenced her family to broaden what they put on their plates, like trying stir-fry and substituting fish for steak.
It just so happens that meat doesn't inspire her.
"It's not because they're forced to," she said. "I believe it can be an inspirational way of eating."
Fleming's love of animals was a deciding factor in her choice. Images of slaughterhouses in a documentary she recently watched came to mind.
"I understand that back in the day, that that's how people survived, eating meat," she said. "Now it's commercial farming where animals aren't treated that well."
"It was an adjustment, but I think it's prompted them to become more healthy," she said.
"I look at it as, for me, my answer is just 'no thank you'"
There are numerous reasons to choose a vegetarian lifestyle, but O'Connor and Fleming agreed that it shouldn't matter why — that diet is a very personal decision.
O'Connor's sons have continued to embrace a vegetarian lifestyle after leaving the house.

Online courses increase,offer convenience
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
A few clicks and keyboard strokes now equals college credit, and with the ease and flexibility of online classes, more students are opting for
the alternative format.
A 2011 study by the Babson Survey Research Group found during fall of that year, more than six million students were taking at least one online course, which was an increase of 570,000 students from
the 2010.
John Griffin, a sophomore from Dallas, took an online academic success seminar last spring.
"What I liked most about it was the convenience," he said. "I didn't have to worry about being anywhere
and I could do it anywhere and work at my own pace, which was nice."
Because of that convenience and no face-to-face interaction with his teacher in a classroom, it was often easy to procrastinate or forget about assignments.
He had to focus on personal responsibility to keep on top of coursework.
The University will offer 80 online classes for the fall semester, mostly on Blackboard.
2 ONLINE PROGRAMS FOR UNDERGRADS
- the RN to Bachelor of Science degree
- bachelor of science in respiratory care degree programs
5 ONLINE PROGRAMS FOR GRADUATES
- master's in dietetics and nutrition
- master's of science in education administration
- master's of science in pharmaceutical chemistry
- master's of social work
- master's of science degree in transition education services
67 undergraduate online courses this summer (39 in the CLAS) and 80 classes for fall 2013.
Costs are the same as classroom courses and can have additional fees depending on the school it's offered through. Financial aid applies to online courses.
7 CATEGORIES FOR NONCREDIT COURSES
- aerospace short courses
- biosciences
- fire and rescue
- law enforcement
- medical
- Osher lifelong learning
- test preparation.
Exams are either online or at a testing center on campus or at an approved off-site center for students outside of Lawrence.
Most offered through Blackboard, some require textbooks.

Students weigh in on recent DOMA repeal
CODY KUPIER
@kupier@kansan.com
"How did you react to the Court's decision?"
In a highly anticipated decision, the Supreme Court declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional last Wednesday.
The act defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman and denied federal benefits to same-sex couples whose marriages were recognized on the state level. Following the Supreme Court's decision, same-sex couples can now receive those benefits, like joint tax returns and health insurance.
CAPITAL CITY
WRITER
In his majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that DOMA was struck down because it "violates basic due process and equal protection principles applicable to the Federal Government."
We asked students on campus how they reacted to the Court's decision.
"I'm really excited that they struck down DOMA, and it's really great to see all the love and support on the internet from people who are excited about it. And I know that there are lots of LGBT activists who are happy to move on to other issues they consider pressing, so it's great to have that too."
Jennifer Nish, Omaha Neb.
"I'm elated. Me and my boyfriend can actually get married in Massachusetts and still be here. Obviously people would think the first step would be state-level gay marriage, but it's kind of backwards-good backwards -- where it comes federally first and states will hopefully follow."
Ana
"I was kind of surprised since we've generally had a conservative history concerning most acts, but it's kind of exciting because it's a move in a direction, which is good. So we should see what happens in the future, if they keep it up or change their minds."
Scott Lloyd, Boston, Mass.
— Annette Jardon, Overland Park, Kan.
"Honestly, it seemed like a long time coming. The first time someone told me what it was, I was like, 'Doesn't that violate Full Faith and Credit on Face?' It always screamed unconstitutional to me. It's not a surprise, but a good step of progress when we're overturning unconstitutional, discriminatory laws."
Scott Ross, Nevada, Mo.

Athletics seals new TV deal with ESPN
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
One week after the University agreed to a deal with Time Warner Cable and Kansas City's Metro Sports to expand the coverage of the University's athletic programs, they struck another deal with the worldwide leader in sports, ESPN.
The deal with Time Warner finished up the tier three television rights. There are three tiers in television rights. The first are owned by national networks, e.g. ESPN, and they get the first opportunity to pick games for over-the-air broadcasts. The second tier rights are for the unselected games that are appear on cable networks such as Time Warner. The third and final tier rights are to the games remaining, which the school and conference have to air as they see fit.
Having the Jayhawks streamed nationwide is something Jim Marchiony, the University's Assistant Athletic Director of Public Affairs, said will allow the Jayhawks to reach farther than ever before.
"It means hundreds of hours of KU-
themed programming that will be produced and aired in Kansas City and throughout the state of Kansas," Marchiony said. "That programming entails at least 50 sporting events, everything from men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, track and field and hundred of hours of KU-themed programming."
Some of the themed programming that will be aired will be pre-game shows, post-game shows and a magazine-type show that will be able to focus on the entire University, not just the athletic side.
The University is the last of the Big 12 members to agree to their tier three rights. Texas has their Longhorn Network, which is ESPN-backed. Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech have deals with Fox, Iowa State and West Virginia have agreements with local networks in their regions.
Being last to sign to a deal, Marchiony said the University was not rushed to an agreement.
"We think our deal is a terrific arrangement," Marchiony said. "It is near the best anywhere. We were not
in a hurry. We wanted to make sure that what we did, was to the benefit of the entire athletic program and the University as a whole."
The University wasn't finished with signing deals for television rights as they agreed to a seven-year deal with ESPN to broadcast over ESPN3, ESPN's live online streaming network.
Under that agreement, ESPN will carry a minimum of 70 live events each year including one football game, six men's basketball games, as many as 16 women's basketball games, nine volleyball matches, eight baseball games and as many as 12 softball, soccer and track and field events. The deal also includes 20 additional contests that will be seen nationwide.
"ESPN3 continues to serve as a destination for college sports fans, and our agreement with Kansas Athletics extends that commitment," John Lasker, ESPN's vice president of programming and acquisitions, said in a news release. "We look forward to delivering these live events to the KU fan base."

Dispatch from the draft: Jayhawks in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — About 50 people, including us, filed off the Brooklyn-bound N train onto the musty, underground platform at the Atlantic Avenue subway station. I checked the time on my phone — 7:28 p.m. The 2013 NBA Draft was officially scheduled to kick off in two minutes. "Dammit, we're going to miss the first pick, and we'll probably miss the second pick, too," I said to Tyler Burtscher, my friend and fellow University student, who'd traveled down from nearby Stamford, Conn. — where he's working this summer — to see the draft with me.
Missing the first, and possibly second pick in this year's draft would have been devastating for any Jayhawk fan, especially when you consider the uncertainty surrounding this year's draft, and the fact that Ben McLemore could very well have been picked first overall. He was who we were there to see — and Jeff Withey, of course — and there was a good shot wed miss his selection. Id read plenty of rumors about how the Cleveland Cavaliers
could possibly trade their No. 1 selection if they didn't bite on Kentucky's Nerlens Noel. What if they had traded it while we were in the subway with no cell signal? What if the team they'd traded to was one that could use a silky-smooth shooting guard like McLemore? Even if the Cavs were going to use their No. 1 pick, tons of "mock drafts" predicted that the Orlando Magic would surely take the one-and-done Jayhawk with the second pick. That was the likeliest of scenarios — or so we thought — so if we hurried, wed maybe have a shot.
We could hear faint cheers inside the arena, but there weren't any boos, so that meant NBA Commissioner David Stern wasn't yet at the podium. We still had time.
As we eventually got our tickets and made our way to our seats, we heard more than a few "Rock Chalk" hollers from passers-by and doled out our fair share of high fives to other Jayhawk fans. Bear in mind that we're more than a thousand miles away from the holy land — Lawrence — and in a place where most college basketball fans' blood runs Syracuse orange. In a city of eight million, it's comforting to know that good people — Kansas fans — are around, and that night, they were all at the Barclays Center.
He spoke about something for a few minutes — no one was listening, they were more focused on booing — before dropping perhaps the biggest bombshell of the evening: "With the first pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select... Anthony Bennett."
ANTHONY BENNETT?! What? Who the hell is this guy? He's the first pick? Not Nerlens Noel? The entire arena let out a collective "Whaaaat!?!!" before booing, because this was the draft, and that's what you do: you boo. Then, the Magic were on the clock. "This is where Ben's supposed to go," I said to Tyler.
That smug con-artist David Stern was approaching the podium to the tune of more than a thousand boos as we finally found our seats.
Nope. Victor Oladipo. He got a rousing ovation from the thousands of Indiana fans in the house, and a few claps from me because the dude can ball. But still, why didn't they pick McLemore? We waited ... and waited some more. Otto Porter. Cody Zeller. Alex Len (WHAT?). Nerlens Noel (finally).
hugged Coach Self and made his way to the stage. I let up on my cheers for a second and noticed something weird: We're like the only people who are cheering right now.
But as far as I'm concerned, this was the best possible draft we could have
And then, Stern gave us what wed come for: "With the seventh pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select Ben McLemore." We burst out of our chairs in applause as Ben stood up, hugged his family.
gone to. Each pick was followed by thousands of people thrusting their hands up onto their heads, jaws agape in surprise. People were throwing their hats down in frustration. We got to watch the weirdest draft in recent memory. That's hard to beat.

Pharmacy School earns high ranking in research funding
Public Library
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
For the 12th year in a row, the National Institute of Health ranked the School of Pharmacy in the top five for research funding. This year, the school was ranked No. 2.
ERIN BREMER/KANSAN
The School of Pharmacy recently ranked No. 2 nationally in research funding.
The rankings were based on data collected from the National Institute of Health's website and later posted by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
This marks the second year the school has been ranked No. 2 and the 12th consecutive year the school's ranking has been in the top five.
"Our expectations are to remain among the nation's elite in terms of pharmacy research," said Jackie Hosey, communications director for the school. "Our faculty researchers are world-renowned in their field."
Hosey also added that an interesting thing about this year is that even with the budget cuts and decrease in available funds, the school's funding actually increased some from last year.
"That's a great testament to the quality of our researchers and to the important work they do," she said.
Overall the school received $25,015,969 in grants during the fiscal year where data was collected.
However, Ken Audus, dean of the school, says that these grants aren't easy to come by.
He said only 10 percent of the applications for grant money get accepted.
"This NIH grant success is a good measure of the productivity and quality of the faculty," he said.
One of the stipulations with the grant money received requires that it be spent on specific research projects as opposed to being able to spread the money around the school overall.
The money received ends up supporting approximately 120 graduate students,80 to 85 postdoctoral students,15 to 20 other research staff and the purchase of equipment and supplies to carry out the individual research projects.
Hosey also said the ranking is tied
to the school's researchers.
The faculty researchers who secured the grants work directly with graduate students in the labs, performing research.
She added that the faculty also works directly with the Doctor of Pharmacy students in the classroom.
"In all of our programs, the goal is not necessarily to increase the number of applicants but to continue to attract the best candidates possible" she said.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a news release that the rankings affirm the school's status as a national contender.
"These rankings show that our faculty are aggressive in competing for external grants and demonstrate why KU has such a strong return on investment for the state of Kansas," she said. "More important, these rankings demonstrate that our researchers are leading the way in developing new cures and therapies to improve our health and quality of life."

SO LONG. FAREWELL
'Talk of the Nation' signs out for last time
The day I pooped my pants in the backseat of my mom's red Jeep, Neal Conan was on the radio. In the quiet car ride home from my uncle's funeral, "Talk of the Nation" was discussing Obama's reelection. NPR ended Talk of the Nation a few weeks ago and it feels like I've lost another uncle.
Every day at 1 p.m., Conan would go on the air, as reliable as the tide. Conan and his Wednesday sidekick Ken Rudin tucked into politics like a Paula Deen meal and dealt with all the stigma and subtext with poise and a strong sense of humor.
By Wil Kenney
wkenney@kansan.com
I was there, head propped against the window, watching trees go by as my mom nodded, laughed, and tut-tutted along with the stories. The callers that "Talk of the Nation" relied on were always respected, even when they were more passionate than informed. The best of them had anecdotes and points that made a show unforgettable, and the worst were politely steered back to their nutty blogosphere.
Controversies and tragedies were handled delicately but with confidence. The purpose at the end of the day was to report the news and dig up opinions from up and down the political spectrum.
Through it all, Conan was pressing here and pulling back there. Sometimes he was a nearly invisible facilitator and other times an assertive reporter probing for answers.
Eventually, after I had crapped myself into embarrassed tears and spent a while reading. I graduated to the front seat and began to listen along with my
mom. Most of our relationship developed around summer afternoon driving back from summer camp and discussing the Iraq War or the economy. We didn't always see eye to eye, but Conan was there, mediating as much his audience as his guests.
I consider myself incredibly lucky, growing up with and admiring a journalist who respected the public as much as his craft. In a world of Glen Beck and Howard Stern, finding a show that mixes news, expert input, and public involvement without a single shout is nothing short of spectacular.
It's too easy to get angry anymore. Of course there are those that will disagree with you; it's a given fact. But handing a honking microphone to everyone with an internet connection has gone straight to their heads. Everyone demands that his or her opinion be heard and heard first. A swift business decision put a handful of them on the air with sound effects and guest appearances from Sarah Palin. It's the modern need for passionate, uncompromising entertainment
I wrote most of this column in the Notes section of my iPhone. It's a sign of the times, and maybe Conan moving on is the same. Radio is an aging medium that is evolving rapidly to adjust, probably faster than I'm ready for. There's a lot left to be decided, but one thing I'm certain of is that my commute back from L-Town won't be the same for the rest of this summer or any summer for the rest of my life.
You and your team in Washington D.C. have done the listening public and I an invaluable service for more than a decade. From a young student to an old pro, thank you very much, Mr. Conan.
As bummed as I am to see "Talk of the Nation" go, at least we still have Science Friday.
Kenney is a sophomore from Leawood.

Notion of 'safe hookah'a bunch of hot air
Call me a stick in the mud, but I don't smoke hookah. When I tell this to others, I often receive looks of contempt, disappointment and mostly, curiosity. As a college student, it is almost presumed that you are willing to smoke hookah, because it is perceived as a harmless pastime. It's true, hookah doesn't carry the same disreputable connotation as smoking cigarettes does, ultimately to the detriment of many misinformed youth. As many students matriculate to the bacchanalian college experience, they should be fully aware that not all staple experiences are as innocuous as they might think. Compared to tobacco and cigarettes, there is scant research into hookah, but what is known suggests the practice is nonetheless deleterious to one's health.
By William Ashley
washley@kansan.com
Common explanations for the harmlessness of hookah range from
the "natural" qualities of the tobacco (because everything in nature is safe) to the infrequency of use, the most cursory of which suggests that the water in hookah pipes filters out undesirable substances. Doubts about the veracity of this claim arose when a study in Food and Chemical Toxicology comparing chemical intake of tobacco based and tobacco free hookah found results contrary to the widely held belief. The study concluded that both kinds of hookah resulted
in transmission of large quantities of toxicants, with little to no variance between the tobacco and tobacco free waterpipe, meaning this claim simply doesn't hold water.
Even more disturbing, however, is the research suggesting hookah may be more detrimental than other vices. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that hookah sessions can actually deliver more harmful chemicals than smoking cigarettes. "A typical 1-hour-long hookah smoking session involves inhaling 100-200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette" the CDC wrote.
The preponderance of evidence leaves, I should think, little room for confidence in the safety of hookah. Keep that in mind next time you crave apple flavored hookah. It's what you can't taste that matters.
Perhaps just as deadly as the toxins
themselves, however, is our attitude towards hookah and our health. Out of fear of being ostracized, many youth capitulate to peer pressure with little resistance. Evidently, the pangs of exclusion are more visceral than the diseases themselves. It seems as though it is much easier to accept the spurious claims of "safe" hookah when one knows their reputation is on the line. This, in tandem with a societal cheapening of good health, has left people blind to the adverse effects of these behaviors. But there is a solution. If people approach new vices with more skepticism, they won't have to see their spritely bodies and unmarred health go up in smoke.

Adam Reeves, right, receives a $2,500 scholarship check from 4K for Cancer on June 28 in front of the Kansas Union. Reeves is an incoming freshman from Pleasant Hill. Mo., whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012.
Cancer survivor's son receives scholarship for reflective essay
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
The news came a couple of days after Christmas that the lump Adam Reeves's mom had removed after having her last child was Stage II triple-negative breast cancer.
After the shock wore off, Reeves, a freshman from Pleasant Hill, Mo., realized he would have to step up to fill in for Angel, a stay-at-home mom who he said "basically runs our entire lives."
"Mom's kind of the glue that holds everything together, so knowing that she would be incapacitated or possibly we might lose her . . . it was a little unhinged," he said.
It didn't make things easier when his brother, the only other sibling who could drive, tore three tendons in one of his legs. The brunt of the responsibility fell on Reeves to take care of the family.
With his dad at work or tending to his mom, Reeves would wake up in the morning, fix breakfast for his five younger siblings and take them to school. After finishing up his own busy day of classes, he would rush to pick up and take everyone home, return to school for sports practice, come back and chauffer his siblings to their activities or help with homework, then sit down to start his homework at 9 or 10 p.m. before heading to bed. Wake up, and repeat.
It became a family joke that Reeves's coffee intake corresponded to his level of fatigue.
"I don't like coffee," he said. "But
I definitely started drinking it quite a bit."
The hardest thing wasn't balancing a busy schedule, though; it was reminding his mom that she was beautiful when she started losing her hair. It was reminding her that she was still the heart of the family even though she wasn't able to take on her usual roles.
"Getting her to realize that 'no, we understand that you need to have this done,' that it's OK and that we can pick up the slack was probably the harder part of being able to support her through it and stay on track and not want to give up," Reeves said.
When he found the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults was offering a scholarship to students affected by cancer, both Reeves and his mother were inspired to enter.
Reeves's essay inspired the committee to award him a $2,500 scholarship, which was presented to him by members of 4K for Cancer, an organization of members who bike cross-country to raise awareness and money for the Ulman Fund, on June 28.
"That was her way of feeling useful, like 'at least my cancer can contribute to something, send somebody to college," he said.
He wasn't sure what to write at first, but a high school composition teacher helped him focus on how he had to change and mature to help his family and stay involved in what he loved.
"My mother and the way that she loves, her actions speak more than what her words say. She doesn't like
to be vocal about 'I love you,' it's what she does for you. So the essay focused on how one of the ways that I can say I support her and I'm there for her, is that 'I can still help you, and I don't feel like you're interfering with my life at all'"
Reeves plans to study biochemistry, possibly double major in genetic or molecular biology and minor in theater. Although the University is a more expensive, out-of-state option, he prides himself that he will be able to make it a reality without adding the financial burden to his family's hospital and treatment bills.
The scholarship is a help to him and a tremendous moral boost for his mom.
"I don't interact with the world globally at this point just because I'm from a small town and I'm kind of closed in, so it was an eye-opener to the fact that there's always help out there, there's always support and there's hope for the future, and that as a human race we stick up for one another," Reeves said.
Angel said seeing her son receive his scholarship at the Union was a highlight in the family's difficult year.
"It's a really good, positive thing that came out of the whole cancer diagnosis and everything that we went through," she said. "It was a nice ending to all the things that have happened."
After a complete mastectomy in late June, the Reeves family got the news last week that, as of now, Angel is 100 percent cancer free.

COMMUNITY
Crowdfunding supports Lawrence filmmakers
CODY KUIPER ckiper@kansan.com
Two Lawrence filmmakers are embracing the idea of community in their debut feature-length film, "God, Grant Me."
The film focuses on a pill addict named Lea and her friendship with Silus, a cancer survivor she meets after confusing a narcotics anonymous meeting with a cancer survivor's support group.
Jesse McGinness, a Lawrence resident, and Will Frierederich, a business student at the University, began writing the film in March and said it centers on the idea that it takes human interaction to experience personal growth, which is why they chose to fund their project with Kickstarter, a website that allows people from around the world to donate money to fund projects, rather than going through traditional investment routes.
"Ultimately we decided on a crowdfunding way, specifically Kickstarter, because it embodies the message of the film," McGinness said. "The theme of our production has been that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and really Kickstarter is just a way to further that."
McGinness and Freiderich decided to collaborate on the film after meeting each other in Henry's Coffee House, where they discovered each other's passion for cinema.
McGinness focuses on the narrative of the film, while Freiderich's job lies in the aesthetics, which will be influenced by a combination of old and modern techniques.
"We want it to be pretty and do some good framing, so we're going to try to incorporate some Kubrick style shots," Freiderich said. "But we're also going to try to incorporate some of this new, Lena Dunham modern movement in it, where you use a handheld camera kind of closer to the person so that way the viewer kind of feels more connected to it."
"God, Grant Me" will be shot primarily in Lawrence and will feature two Lawrence residents in the leading roles.
Nick Johnson will play the lead role of Silus in the film, who is a survivor of colon cancer.
Johnson said the use of cancer in the film has brought more emotion to their film-making process.
"There have been a lot of random people coming up to us, talking to us about how they've survived cancer and how they've been through it and that's been a really humbling experience in that regard," he said.
Filming for "God, Grant Me" is set to begin at the end of the month. McGinness and Frierderich are planning to premier the movie in the spring in Lawrence and Kansas City after sending it to various film festivals throughout the country.

Community-focused website centers on giving back
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
atidwell@kansan.com
In this tech-savvy and ever-connected society we live in there is a social media site for everything. There's Facebook for connecting with friends, there's LinkedIn for connecting with employers, there's eHarmony for finding love and now, there's a site built specifically for connecting people with opportunities to give back to their community.
That site is SoRewarding.com, a Denver-based company built on the idea that people should be able to give back through their every day activities. And they have recently expanded to Lawrence.
"We want to engage the next generation of philanthropists," said Marion Mariithasan, CEO of SoRewarding. "And we're excited to get KU involved."
The website is a cause-focused social network that connects people with local non-profit organizations and small businesses that want to give back to the community.
Through their website, users can purchase discounts for local businesses and tickets to events while donating a portion of the proceeds to a cause of choice. Also, the website allows users to create a volunteer profile which connects them with local
non-profit organization seeking volunteers with their specific skill sets
“It’s very much like Precineline meets Groupon,” Mariathasan said. “You can say I want a $15 value but I only want to pay $10 for it, and it with either approve it or counter offer. Then when you pay for the voucher five percent goes to a cause that you choose.”
For college students, it can be difficult to find a way to give back to the community when on a budget. SoRewarding makes it easy by combining goodness with money saving.
"We want to change philanthropy to make it more accessible and easier to integrate into everyday activities,"
said Laura McKnight, consultant for SoRewarding.
SoRewarding features a discount program, which allows users to purchase coupons to various restaurants or stores and also donate money to local charities.
Users can also purchase tickets to events that support local charities as well. According to Mariathasan, it's the simplest way to give back to the community.
"SoRewarding is designed solely around goodness," Mariathasan said. "At the end of the day that's what it all comes back to, goodness."
As part of their effort to make be charitable easy, SoRewarding
helps organizations raise awareness and reach fundraising goals by hosting events in their honor.
With their expansion into Lawrence, SoRewarding will host two events for local organizations geared toward students.
The first is August 24 at the Eldridge Hotel, and students are encouraged to by tickets through SoRewarding. For more information on upcoming events, local organization and other ways to give back to the Lawrence community, visit SoRewarding.com.

EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
It's tradition for Emilyjane Pyle's family to go caroling every Dec. 23. However, last year after the fourth verse of 'Joy to the World,' she had an unexpected surprise.
"He was standing there next to me singing, and he was shaking like a leaf," Pyle, a junior from Dodge City, said.
Her boyfriend of four years, Brett Eichman, got down on one knee.
With all eyes in the room on her, Pyle remembers being "hot and excited" in the first few moments of her engagement.
"I knew that it was what I wanted, and I knew it was supposed to be," she said.
According to "Knot Yet," a report by the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, the average age to get married is at a historic high — 27 for women and 29 for men. Most who wait to get married do so because of economic and cultural reasons, but that's not stopping young couples like Pyle and Eichman from breaking the mold.
Young love
Pyle didn't know she would marry the boy she sat next to in World History on her first day of high school. After being cast opposite in the musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" when she was a junior, things clicked and they started dating.
"It just made sense," Pyle said. She never questioned it, even when Eichman, a senior at Kansas State, moved to Manhattan.
Eichman said he had known that he wanted to propose for most
"All of the details are important to us, but that's not what's the most important thing."
of the fall semester, but he wasn't sure how or when. In fact, he didn't have a finalized plan until a week before.
After clearing it with her parents and getting the ring, Eichman realized caroling was the perfect opportunity to pop the question.
"The stars aligned, and all of my family, even extended family, and all of her family was going to be there," he said.
Pyle said her parents love Eichman and are supportive of her decision.
"They know that I've never quite been the average kid; I've always kind of done things my own way," she said. "This is again another instance of me doing something off the beaten path."
However, Pyle remembers one family member made the proposal slightly comical.
"My whole family knew, yet my sister let me wear the ugliest Christmas sweater ever," she said. "It was teal, with a Santa that lit up."
The Big Day Since she was a little girl, Pyle has
BRETT EICHMAN Senior at K-State
always wanted a Christmas wedding, and Eichman wanted to do something different than his parents, who got married in the summer.
They've set a date for Dec. 21, 2014 in Dodge City. Both will finish the semester on that Friday and tie the knot on Sunday.
"Which is terrifying and possibly stupid," said Pyle. "But whatever."
They expect K-State football to head to a bowl game in early January, which means Eichman, who is a drum major for the band, needs to have those weeks clear.
"We've been squeezing stuff in between KU and K-State schedules for the last few years, why not squeeze this in, too?" Pyle said.
But they have plenty of time to get the finite details in place. Eighteen months out, they already have the dress, the ceremony and reception locations, the bridal party, the cake, the Kansas/K-State-themed rehearsal dinner and the New York City honeymoon planned.
"All that time just really takes the pressure off," Pyle said.
It's been tough to plan from three different locations, though. They credit their helpful and creative moms.
"We're both oldest children and perfectionists. I honestly think the most daunting part for us will be letting the day happen", Eichman said. "The most important thing that we keep having to remind ourselves is that at the end of the day, we'll still be married. All of the details are important to us, but that's
not what's the most important thing."
Happily ever after
It will be the first
After things settle down, the newlyweds will move to Lawrence so Pyle can finish her music therapy degree and Eichman can student teach in the area.
"Our wedding kind of marks when we get to live together and really start our lives," Eichman said.
time the couple will get to live together in their relationship — a long-awaited milestone.
"You're just excited you'll live with someone who will do your laundry," Pyle joked.
For the first time in five years, Pyle won't have to split her time between the University and K-State.
"I'm so excited to have home base where he is." Pyle said.
They'll just have to get through the whirlwind wedding between finals week and bowl games first.
"I think the only sacrifice being made is time," Pyle said. "I'm pretty happy with things the way they are. I'm sure portions of the wedding might be different if we were 27 or 30 years old, but I'm living in the moment and really loving the way things are working out."

COMMUNITY
Lawrence residents protest governor's legislation
ERIN BREMER
ebremer@kansan.com
The Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice gathered on Massachusetts Street on Saturday for "Brownback's Wall of Shame," a demonstration to protest the legislation of Gov. Brownback.
The event allowed Lawrence residents voice their opinions and to publicly display how Brownback's policies have affected them. Community members attached their written grievances to a board the organization provided.
Publication of Change of Heart, a quarterly newsletter sold to raise money for homeless in the community, was one issue addressed on the board. The posting asserted that because of cuts to funding, organizations can no longer afford to print the publication.
Other issues citizens addressed included the state's refusal to implement affordable care, restrictions on women's reproductive rights and questioning concerning Kansas' voting laws.
The Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice's website states that they are dedicated creating a peaceful society. It hopes to achieve this peace by fighting for equal rights, opportunity and fairness for all individuals, and through a commitment to the community's overall well-being.
The organization's next event will be a protest against the Americans for Prosperity agenda in Topeka on Wednesday, July 10.

Customers at Jefferson's, located at 743 Massachusetts St., enjoy their meal outside during the weekend. The 3/50 Project is a national campaign that promotes eating and shopping locally. The Downtown Lawrence Inc. is part of this growing campaign.

More than half of every $100 spent in Lawrence's locally owned independent businesses each month is channeled back into the local economy, according to a nationwide campaign for economic development.
The 3/50 Project, a campaign that advocates for strengthening of local economies, states that $68 of every $100 invested in local businesses gets cycled back to the community in the form of taxes, payroll and other spending. The project's mission is to engage the public in supporting small local businesses that generate necessary funding for the community's public resources and services. The University's Small
Business Development Center director Will Katz supports the project's mission.
"It's a great program. It certainly promotes awareness of small local businesses, especially in small communities," Katz said.
The 3/50 Project challenges consumers to spend $50 or more per month in three independently owned local businesses of their choosing. According to the project's website, if half of the employed workforce in the United States abided to the tenants of the 3/50 challenge, communities could generate more than $42 billion annually.
Pendleton's Country Market is a locally owned independent farm-to-table Lawrence business that is part of the campaign. Karen Pendleton encourages other Lawrence businesses to enroll in the campaign.
"Anytime you can get onto a list showing that you're supporting the
local community and local businesses, it's good." Pendleton said. "It's very worth being a part of"
Consumers are increasingly conscientious of their shopping habits and think it's important for businesses to advertise and support campaigns like the 3/50 Project.
Katie Farmer, a Lawrence native, said pursuing a degree in social work at the University motivates her to shop locally.
"I like to know the business that my purchases are supporting, it may be a more ethical motivation." Farmer said. "I don't want to support bad businesses, and I want to keep more money in our community."
While the online shopping can be convenient, those purchases bring no money back into the community. In May, a bill was introduced in
WILL KATZ
Small Business Development Center director
"It certainly promotes awareness of small, local businesses, especially in small communities."
Congress that would eliminate tax-free online shopping. Currently, online shops and retailers are not required by law to charge
shoppers taxes for their purchases. According to this bill, shoppers would incur state and any local or county taxes on their Internet and mail-order purchases.
Katz does not think tax-free online shopping will last.
"While that may seem like a big benefit right now, in the future that's not going to be much of a benefit for consumers," Katz said. "Likely sometime soon, consumers will be paying sales tax on Internet purchases."

Clairaudients' music features laid-back vibe
MARK ARCE
marce@kansan.com
The release of Clairaudients' newest album, "I'm a Loudmouth, You're a Puppet," marks a new chapter for the Kansas City-based music group. Last summer, the band decided to change its name to Clairaudiens, leaving behind its reputation and five years as The Atlantic. The word "Clairaudiens" means the supposed power to hear things outside the range of normal perception. The definition and name change reflects the group's ambition and representation of its music.
FANATICS
Clairaudients, formerly named The Atlantic, released its album, "I'm a Loudmouth, You're a Puppet," which features a laid-back vibe and folk-inspired tunes. The group recently performed at SXSW in Austin, Texas and Middle of the Map in Kansas City.
CLAIRAUDIENTSKC.COM
the whole band's chemistry is apparent, the percussion work of M. Blaire Geenens is especially potent.
Given the new name, it seems appropriate that the band's first song on the five-song album would be "Intro." It is a meditative piece drenched in harmonies and foreshadows the maturity and depth present on the rest of the album.
The next track, "Cellars," acts as a contrast to the soft opener. It's a heavy, hard rocking song and while
The third song on the album, "Like a Song" is a folk-infused tune that has both a piano and guitar solo that add to the emotional scope of the piece.
"Broken Mend" continues the laid back vide of the album, and has a gospel-like vibe. "Back to the Sun" is an up-tempo epic that rounds out the album and leaves the listener more than satisfied, a notable feat given the length of the album. Furthermore, both songs make the most of the six-piece band as each member has notable contributions that complement each other.
While any other group who had undergone a name and line-up change may have faltered in band chemistry or sound, Clairaudients didn't. In fact, the band has experienced little to no growing pains between the transitions. Undoubtedly, the experience the band has gained over the years and recently through
live performances, such as SXSW and Middle of the Map have helped it become comfortable.
On "Broken Mend," vocalist Patrick Robinson sings, "Eventually we will get it right." Based on the strength of
this album, it will be exciting to hear this band as it continues to produce music in search of that perfection.
And to anyone who has doubts about a new name or their maturing sound, Robinson reassures any skeptical listeners when singing "In the end, we're all the same."

TELEVISION
'Parks and Rec' continues to offer timeless laughs
Parks and Recreation WATCH THE FULL SEASON
By Kaitlyn Hilgers
khilgers@kansan.com
The cast of "Parks and Recreation," namely Ron Swanson (third from left), provides hilarious representation of a government office.
NBC
Usually, in the popular television scene, I am two steps behind everyone. I didn't get into "Game of Thrones" until the first season had ended, I just finished watching the second season of "The Walking Dead" and the entire "Lost" series is still waiting on my Netflix queue. So of course, when everyone was talking about "Parks and Recreation" (circa 2011), I steered clear of spoilers and didn't give it much thought. However, when I watched my roommate laugh her head off on the futon watching "Parks and Rec," I decided it was finally time. This was when I learned what everyone tried telling
me two years ago: "Parks and Recreation" is the best comedy on television, end of discussion.
There are just so many components that make this show great. The chemistry between the characters is flawless, the acting is spot on, the story lines are hilarious, and while being a mostly episodic-style show, there is still a continual story line that makes audiences come back for more. However, there is definitely one reason that this show is so much greater than all the others, and that reason is Ron Swanson.
For those of you who have not watched "Parks and Rec," Ron Swanson (played by Nick Offerman) is not only my favorite character in the show, but he has also become my dream man, my role model, my everything. Alright, that might be a little bit extensive, but that does not mean it isn't true. Ron Swanson, a man who hates the government, yet feels the need to work for the government in order to corrupt it, is also a softie and a lover of all meats. He
adds so much to the show, and while other comedies on television might have characters similar to that of Swanson, there will never be a single character that has generated more laughs, guaranteed.
Without Swanson, "Parks and Rec" would still definitely be funny, but I really don't believe it would be
the awesome comedy that it is now. With his fabulous facial hair, he is the perfect foil to the ever perky Leslie Knope. He grounds the show, makes it a little more real, and allows audiences to really see how completely different people can come together to not only make a great fake "Parks and Recreation" office in a small town of
Indiana, but through Ron Swanson, NBC has successfully continued creating the best comedies on television. So go watch, my little Swansonites. Go forward and learn.

excess HOLLYWOOD review
--earnest, silver bullets at the ready.
By Landon McDonald lmcdonald@kansan.com
'Lone Ranger' saddled with too much ambition
Who was that masked man?
And why doesn't anyone seem to care?
Gore Verbinski's madcap actionwestern "The Lone Ranger" resurrects a pair of outdated American icons (the eponymous Ranger and his monosyllabic Comanche companion Tonto) and surrounds them with solid performances, bold historical revisionism and a locomotive-powered finale that pays ecstatic tribute to Buster Keaton's silent classic "The General." So why has Verbinski and star Johnny Depp's latest collaboration been scalped by critics and shunned by audiences, many of whom opted to catch "Despicable Me 2" instead last weekend?
On paper, at least, Verbinski's revival seemed like a surefire hit, especially coming on the heels of the director's gloriously offbeat animated oater "Rango." After the brutal slaying of his Texas Ranger brother by notorious outlaw Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner), pacifist lawyer John Reid (Armie Hammer) assumes the mantle of the Lone Ranger and, with the help of Tonto (a chalky, mystically addled Depp), roams the Wild West dispensing wholesome, square-jawed justice (the kind today's angst-ridden heroes don't usually have time for). Along the way, the Ranger matches wits with a greedy railroad baron (Tom Wilkinson) and charms a one-legged bordello mistress (Helena Bonham
Carter). Sounds like all the ingredients for an easy-bake blockbuster, right?
To explain what led "The Lone Ranger" into a box office ambush, I would point to three factors in particular: the average viewer's lack of familiarity with the 80-year-old main character, a gargantuan budget - reportedly more than $250 million
- and the movie's daunting 149-minute runtime.
SANTA FE
By attempting to imitate the epic sweep and scope of their "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, Verbinski and his team of screenwriters have transformed what should have been a fast-paced adventure story into a rattler's nest of convoluted storylines and extraneous characters. The tone is almost comically haphazard, an absurdist cocktail that references cannibalism, horse manure and the genocide of the American Indian all in the same unsteady breath.
Yet in spite of these and other flaws, the majority of the film's ragi- and-bone eccentricities are enough to qualify "The Lone Ranger" as the most endearingly excessive release of the summer. It may be a drain on the senses and a "John Carter"-level financial disaster for Disney and mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but it's never once boring. And I would defy any true blue western fan not to break out in goosebumps once the William Tell Overture kicks in and Hammer's Ranger saddles up in

The standout performance of the movie undoubtedly belongs to William Fichtner, an underrated actor whose presence elevates everything from bargain-bin schlock ("Drive Angry 3-D") to prestigious blockbusters ("The Dark Knight"). Nearly unrecognizable behind layers of dirt, grime and an artificial cleft lip, his mangy cannibal gunslinger is a villain whose sinister appearance and ghoulish tendencies (he likes to cut out his enemy's hearts and eat them raw) add a nasty edge to the PG-13 proceedings (he's like a refugee from an unfilmed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian").
Walt Disney Pictures
Hammer, who first turned heads playing both Winnicklevoss twins in 2010's "The Social Network," turns in a sunny, gallant performance as the
Ranger, while Depp, who receives top billing for obvious reasons, succeeds in making Tonto more than a whooping, war-painted clone of Jack Sparrow, even if his portrayal may strike some as simultaneously more and less than politically correct.
Many cultural commentators were uneasy when Depp took the part, viewing it as a missed opportunity for an American Indian actor to restore dignity to a character long derided as the poster child of native stereotypes. For better or worse, the chameleon actor has instilled the self-proclaimed "last of the Comanche wendigo hunters" with equal parts cavort- and-caper kookiness
(he wears a stuffed raven on his head and insists on feeding it birdseed) and a stoic's sense of frustration, most of it directed at his impulsive white counterpart.
All this rigorously enforced modernization results in a movie where the heroes merely tolerate each other. Imagine a bizarro "Sherlock Holmes" movie where Dr. Watson solves all the cases and constantly admonishes Holmes for his stupidity. I knew the Lone Ranger and Tonto were allies, but this version never once convinced me they were friends.

Some of your friends might be jetting off to the beach while you're stuck in summer classes. However, that doesn't mean you have to be bored at home every weekend during your summer in Lawrence. Here are a few stay-cation ideas guaranteed to make your summer a little more exciting.
ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS:
- Who needs the beach when you've got a lake right in your own backyard? Clinton State Park, just four miles southwest of Lawrence, is the perfect spot for outdoor activities. There is a 25-mile hiking/biking trail, a 1-mile self-guided nature trail, an archery range, a swim beach, sand volleyball, a mountain bike skills course, a nine-hole disc golf course, a 3-acre trout pond, and plenty of great fishing areas.
For $5 a day for parking, you can enjoy all of these activities. If you like to spend a weekend outdoors, you can camp for $7 per day, or spend an extra $2 for amp service. Clinton Lake is located at 798 N.
1415 Rd. Call the Park Office at 785-
842-8562 for more information.
- If you're in the Kansas City area, Shawnee Mission Park at 79th Street and Renner Road in Shawnee offers a 120-acre lake, which is perfect for boating, fishing and sail boarding.
There is also an archery range, a 53-acre off-leash dog park, a disc golf course, and plenty of trails for mountain biking and horseback riding.
Shawnee Mission Park is also home to Theatre in the Park. the outdoor theater with shows throughout the summer.
- Loose Park, 5200 Wornall Rd., in Kansas City, Mo., is one of Kansas City's most popular parks and it boasts an extensive history. Loose Park was the site of the Battle of Westport, a battle that took place during the Civil War. Loose Park is home to Kansas City's municipal rose garden, which holds more than 4,000 roses of nearly 150 varieties in more than 1.5 acres.
COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA
Loose Park has plenty of picnic areas for enjoying a summer day.
- If you're looking for a more relaxing weekend, a night at the Country Club Plaza is right up your alley.
Located just under an hour from downtown Lawrence, the County Club Plaza offers fine dining shopping, beautiful architecture, fun nightlife and excellent people watching.
Some of the upscale shopping includes stores like H&M, Burberry, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, Sperry Top-Sider, Express and a two-story Forever 21.
With a large variety of upscale dining, the Plaza is a perfect place for a date. Brio Tuscan Grille is one of Kansas City's best Italian restaurants, and with decent prices for a delicious meal, you're guaranteed to impress your date with your frugality and taste in food.
Other eateries worth visiting include Jack Stack Barbecue, Fogo De Chao — a Brazilian steakhouse, Kona Grill, and Buca de Pepo, a family-style Italian restaurant. If you're looking to stay overnight, a
hotel room on the Plaza will cost you a minimum of $150 per night.
DAY TRIP TO TOPEKA
Our state's capital is home to the Brown v. Board of Education Natural Historic Site, the Kansas Museum of History, the Kansas State Capitol Building and beautiful Gage Park.
The Kansas Museum of History is $6 for admission, but the rest of the aforementioned are free. If you are interested in history, government, or are just looking for something to do that won't cost you an arm and a leg, a day trip to Topeka will not disappoint.
THRILLS THAT CHILL
- Kansas City is home to several attractions that will spice up any dull summer day. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun offer roller coasters and water rides that are perfect for a hot day. If you buy your tickets online in advance, one adult single day ticket is $38.99, and this gets you into both parks. Parking is $15.
- An adult ticket to the Kansas
City Zoo is $11.50, and parking is free, meaning for less than $12 you can spend hour after hour watching polar bears Nikita and Berlin play around and belly-flop into their pool.
- If you're looking for water with flare, Schlitterbahn is home to several water rides and attractions. The park is centered around the lazy river, meaning that once you want to go to a ride, you can just float your way there.
Schlitterbahn just recently added a zip line that takes you up 100 feet and then sends you soaring across the park. Schlitterbahn boasts the largest wave ride in the world at 1,800 feet and waves up to 4 feet high. Schlitterbahn is located at 1709 N.98 St. in Kansas City.
An all-day general admission ticket will cost you $36.99, but you can save $3 if you purchase your ticket online.
A ticket purchased for admission into the water park after 3 p.m. is $26.99

THE MORNING BREW Wiggins meets, handles hype well
By Connor Oberkrom
editor@kansan.com
Before Andrew Wiggins' feet even touched Naismith Drive when he made his decision to commit to Kansas and Bill Self on May 14, he was pegged as "Maple Jordan," and the "best recruit since" discussion began.
After weeks of conversing among message boards, recruiting analysts and other experts on where the highly coveted Canadian recruit was going to attend college. Wiggins finally chose to commit to Kansas. The hype, the juicy stories and videos have only been magnified since then.
Wiggins will likely share preseason awards for Big 12 player of the year with returning Big 12 POY Marcus Smart. It's going to be a battle that will be closely watched all season, and he will surely be a contender for National POY. Wiggins will have the chance to break many of Kansas' freshman and single-season records including Ben McLemore's, which will be only a year-old record for most points scored by a Jayhawk freshman.
NBA teams are already talking
about where he'll be going and if he can live up to the hype, similar to what Harrison Barnes experienced and failed to live up to. But for now, it's all about his time in Lawrence for about a year and how big of an effect he will have on the Kansas team.
Wiggins has been on campus for about one month now, and the hype hasn't curtailed in any sense. Sure, it's a little quieter on the college basketball front, but the talk has been constantly stupendous.
hoopla hasn't dwindled, and the build-up continues all over Lawrence.
from The YouTube video of Wiggins dunking over Cole Aldrich to other rumblings about his supreme athletic abilities in practice, the
The splash has been exposed off the court, too. Stores have begun selling No. 22, Wiggin's jersey number this year. One of the popular sports gear stores in Lawrence that has begun selling the jersey is Jock's Nitch, 916 Massachusetts St.
"We've been selling for about three weeks now, and there's certainly been a lot of buzz around it," Ozier said.
Scott Ozier, manager of the store said the excitement has definitely commenced and Wigggins gear been a staple merchandise of the store.
The whole irony in all this is, of course, that Andrew Wiggins is one of the humblest guys you'll encounter, as reinforced by his high school coach Rob Fulford in an interview with USA TODAY Sports.
When asked about how Wiggins handles all this pressure of being the best and a potential No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, Fulford said, "He doesn't really like to talk about himself like
KU
that. He's not the kid that loves the spotlight. I do believe that he knows how good he is and, at the end of the year, he started to understand how much of an impact his name has. But he takes it all in stride."
Wiggins is just a few months removed from being in high school, and the landscape has certainly changed being in Lawrence, but by no means has it been a hard transition, something many coveted young collegiate stars struggle with. Wiggins has already seemed to adjust well to the spotlight and it has so far shown what personality the young man from Canada possesses.

Releford, Johnson not drafted hopeful to play professionally

mgoodwin@kansan.com
Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson did not hear their names called at the 2013 NBA Draft,but they still have an opportunity to make an NBA roster.
It was announced by a release on KUathletics.com that Johnson would play for the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA summer league from July 12-22 in Las Vegas, his hometown.
Releford was reported to be playing in both the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues with the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets, but said he was taking part in a Pacers training camp.
He also said he would only play summer league with the Nuggets in Las Vegas.
For Releford, a native of Kansas City, Mo., playing in the NBA has been a long-time dream, but just in case he is not signed by an NBA team, he has the option of playing overseas for Okapi Aalstar of the Belgian-Ethias league in Aalsat,

TRAVIS RELEFORD
Former Kansas guard
"Just my defense, the energy that I bring to a team, my toughness and being able to do everything good rather than being great at one thing." In the midst of planning his own
future, Releford supports his former Jayhawk teammate Ben McLemore being selected No. 7 overall by the Sacramento Kings.
"I don't know much about their roster," Releford said, "but I know he will come in and be professional on and off the court. He'll get with the players that have been there before him and the coaches and see what he can do to improve his game."
As for the uncertainty surrounding
Releford, it doesn't seem to faze him
He said he is looking forward to the opportunity of proving himself at the professional level.

"Medical costs are a big issue," said David Burress, president of the Kansas Progress Institute in Lawrence. "On a scale of problems, if raising the minimum wage was a foothill, trying to regulate medical costs would be the Himalavas."
One of the most complex issues surrounding the problem of balancing wages and the cost of living lies in determining how to best regulate the minimum wage and regulate inflation as it affects the cost of goods and services in the long-term.

Some University alumni, employees and Lawrence residents who rely on jobs that pay the state minimum wage and that do not offer health or dental insurance are experiencing first-hand the challenges of making ends meet while coping with medical issues.
Kansans struggle with insufficient minimum wage laws
JOSE MILITECH

editor@kansan.com
Minimum wage in Kansas falls far below the recommended living wage, according to a number of different groups, studies and organizations.
The Kansas Progress Institute in Lawrence, the Kansas Association of Community Action Programs and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have worked to identify and address the factors that contribute to poverty, low wages and the increasing cost of living in the state.
Clinic serves low-income patients but cannot do the particular surgery that she needs, and she was referred to a local dentist.
"I think it would be better if the government lowered (medical) costs or if part-time employees were given some kind of health benefits," Huston said. "I don't have benefits and it's going to cost me $2000. I didn't qualify for the dentist's credit plan. Instead of making payments I have to pay up front, which is hard."

He believes it's essential to both regulate medical and dental costs, which he says are necessities of life, and he supports raising the minimum wage.
"We need to have what Canada has," Robbins said. "We can pay for it in taxes and everyone is covered. It takes away so much stress. A lot of people want to get paid more because they want medical insurance. It's kind of ridiculous to do one thing or the other, we need to do both."
University School of Business economist George Bittlingmayer agrees that the current state minimum wage is not a livable wage but warns about the unintended consequences of raising it too much.
"It clearly would be hard to support a family on that; there is no doubt about it," Bittlingmayer said. "But there are good reasons to think that raising the minimum wage could create damage. It could price people out of the labor market."
According to the Living Wage Calculator designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a single adult in Kansas would need to make a minimum of $9.02 per hour to stay above the poverty level.
A single adult with one child would
need to make more than $18.51 per hour and a single adult with two children would need to make $22.69 per hour, and so on.
In 1988, Kansas minimum wage was $2.65 per hour.
After some minor increases throughout the years, it was raised to $7.25 per hour in April 2009 when then Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a new bill into law.
However, Kansas businesses that
gross more than $500,000 in sales annually or are involved in interstate commerce fall under federal minimum wage law.
"Ninety to 95 percent of Kansas businesses come under federal minis—a person's race, their gender and other factors in life — and certainly health is a big one." Stottlemire said. "We continue to fight the rhetoric of what do we do with our tax dollars. Until we begin looking at healthcare as a human right as opposed to something that only those that can pay for it receive, then we are stuck in this system of who is paying for whom... Raising the minimum wage is a step in the right direction in addressing
imum wage law," said Tim Triggs a labor conciliator with the Kansas Department of Labor.
"Raising the minimum wage is a step in the right direction in addressing poverty. TAWNY STOTTLEMIRE Executive Director Kansas Association of Community Action Programs
Kansas Association of Community Action Programs Executive Director Tawny Stottlemi talks about the minimum wage issue as described in a 2012 Kansas Poverty Report released by her organization.
"The causes and conditions of poverty are different depending on where a person lives, what their background
poverty."
The number of people working for minimum wage in the United States rose from 1.7 million in 2007 to 3.6 million in 2012.
The loss of quality jobs in the country can be attributed to the economic crisis that wreaked havoc on many businesses nationwide in early 2008.
Adding to the fears of Kansas workers, Gov. Sam Brownback signed House Bill 2069 into law last April, banning Kansas communities from requiring private businesses to provide a living wage in excess of what is required by federal or state law.
"I'm a little disappointed," Stot-
tlemire said. "Legislation passed prohibiting communities from establishing their own living wages. When communities talk about raising the minimum wage, part of the argument that comes back is that it's going to be really bad for business and businesses are going to have to cut jobs.
The research has demonstrated that that is very rarely the case. I think it's very important to weigh the rhetoric against the reality when these types of decisions are made."
KACAP will be hosting the 2013 Poverty Conference in Topeka July 17-19 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center.

TIME IS NOW
Internet intensifies thoughtless debates
George Zimmerman's acquittal stirred up a cesspool of hasty generalizations and personal attacks that is my Facebook feed. I'm a white millennial from suburban Kansas, so there's nothing substantial I can say about the case itself. What I can do is give all my equally white and suburban peers a friendly reminder to shut up.
Before I go any further, I have to admit that I betrayed your trust, readers. A few months ago I wrote about giving up arguing on Facebook and other social media. I promised you that I would take the high road. I failed.
I was baited into arguing about the millennial generation and in retrospect I can't believe I fell for it. The "other side" was someone burping up talking points just to grind my gears. It was a friend of a friend and I'd like to think that I stayed respectful. But having the buffer of a keyboard and the support of a few Google searches, I got ahead of myself.
And now I'm seeing dozens of flashpoint arguments explode across my computer screen like it's D-Day and I can't help but ask: what can any of you kids from Kansas who probably didn't spare five minutes to watch the trial have to say that hasn't already been said?
That's not to say I'm against healthy debates between citizens. Discussion is good; it reflects an informed and progressive society. What makes me doubt the rest of you is when racist terms get thrown around like snowballs and friends turn on friends because... well... there's not really a good reason for it, they just like to argue.
It's discouraging. When I got trapped into debating the millennial generation, I defended us. I said that we were just as smart, respectful, and rounded as the Boomers and our parents. But when I come home to see comment threads with five hundred responses and everyone is comparing each other to Hitler, I begin to wonder if maybe

the media is right about us
What's worse is that, just like my argument about generational relations, there's a good chance that the person you're attacking is just trying to get a rise out of you. There are entire sub-cultures on the Internet devoted to kicking up dust and just waiting for the inevitable pit fight with a bag of popcorn handy.
But maybe I'm just another idiot with a soapbox. Although mine's made out of paper and ink, I'm probably no different. Whether you like to hear it or not, you aren't as informed or insightful as you think you are. No one logs onto Facebook
or Reddit to get his or her mind's changed. They type in their favorite website to find a fight somewhere and get a punch in. Nothing is changed and the only thing that's been proven is that the combatants are ignorant.
Not ignorant of the topics but ignorant of one another. Julie Smith, the woman you just cussed out and asked to "kindly kill herself" on Facebook, is a person. She has a favorite color and a hilarious story about a beer in a blender. She might be wrong but she's just as stubborn as you are and can probably type faster.
So again, Facebook, pour some tea and just do a crossword. Run a mile and burn off some steam. Let the incoming hurricane of news analysts do the arguing for you and most of all: listen. Then, if you're in the mood to discuss and not fist-fight, get some talking points in.
Rest in peace, Trayvon.

AWARENESS
Social media weakens true activism
Facebook activism is ineffective and you can tell that to Joseph Kony, I am, of course, speaking about the phenomenon of Facebook users supporting political causes via social media interactions. Prominent examples include the infamous Kony 2012 sensation and the iconic red equals sign for marriage equality. I should preface this article by stating that there is absolutely nothing wrong with supporting worthy causes. Rather, I am merely suggesting that the practice certainly entails some unforeseen deleterious side effects.
By William Ashley
editor@kansan.com
It's one thing to, say, support marriage equality by changing your profile picture for a day, but it's a bit more comical when thousands pledge to affix a "Kony 2012" picture to their profile until the malefactor is caught. Well-grounded causes such as marriage equality do deserve our
respect, but fringe movements like Kony 2012 are an embarrassment to the world and highlight our short attention spans. In some respects, history will regret movements like these, because they represent the paragon of American Slacktivism, especially considering that most of North America probably can't locate Uganda on a map. At its worst, Facebook activism glorifies cursory
research for trite causes promoting vacuous platitudes, and only serves to give people a false sense of activism.
Done right, Facebook activism can be an efficacious platform for well-established movements, done wrong, it lets people take a stand but only from a safe distance. With the odious drudgery of actual service washed away, activism becomes less valuable — and certainly less effective. People become fulfilled by simply pressing a like button, which usually prevents them from becoming more deeply involved in the movement.
The cheapening of activism has to stop. I do realize that people's hearts are in the right place, but entrusting the Internet hive mind to change the world with mere likes is just another example of hare-brained American thinking. Real change occurs when
you step outside the safety and security of your social media profile and into the real world.
Where should the masses start? Simple awareness. People should seek information on the issue they find "like" worthy. They need not bear the burden of being the next great activist, but merely an informed citizen, because there is an intrinsic value in knowledge for knowledge sake. The more information people garner about a particular issue, the more involved and interested they will be in its development. If they do not seek information, they'll face great scorn — scorn as harsh as the glow of the LED screens from which these Facebook users became "activists."

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS
'FBO' determines relationship status
EMMA LEGUALT elegualt@kansan.com
Three letters have changed the dating game for millennials, and it's mostly for the worst.
FBO—"Facebook official"—is the new standard of a relationship. For a simple social network status, it's an incredibly delicate topic. Determining when to go FBO is a science of strategy and could require months of careful discussion and planning. It's comparable to a celebrity controlling tabloid rumors of a hush-hush project until the buzz goes public.
Once it hits one newsfeed,
"The thing is, you're creeping on him because you want to find something. You want to find something to be angry about."
it's free game. Facebook is a (if not the) mecca for gossip and often the source of cyber drama. While a new "single-turned-in-a-relationship" status evokes cutesy comments and heartwarming "awh's," it can get nasty during a breakup when FBO turns FUBAR.
Before deciding to be FBO, Nicole McCroskey and her boyfriend at the time had gone steady for a couple of months to test the waters. When they changed their statuses, most of their friends knew they were together already so it wasn't a big deal.
Although Facebook didn't affect that relationship, McCroskey, a sophomore from Overland Park, has also experienced the ugly side of social media relationships.
NICOLE MCCROSKEY sophomore from Overland Park
Because her last ex was often busy with homework and fraternity engagements, McCroskey accepted the fact that they wouldn't be able to text or see each other much. However, she suspected something fishy when he would post pictures and tweets from a bar after telling her he was spending his night studying or had canceled on her last minute.
"I would get upset, but I wouldn't want to text him and call him out," she said. "Guys get defensive, and I didn't want to come across as a crazy girlfriend."
According to "It's Complicated," a Western University student's 2012 survey about breakups and social media, less than half of the participants said they remained friends with their ex after the breakup. One participant compared blocking his ex to ripping off a Band-Aid of painful memories.
As these instances became more frequent, McCroskey had to end things. She cut off all ties, which meant unfriending him on Facebook and unfollowing his Twitter.
Results from the survey found that 88.2 percent of participants "creeped" on their ex after a breakup. More than 70 percent who unfriended their ex
She's not alone.
tried to get access through another account.
No matter how mellow or gruesome the breakup, there's almost always an element of jealously that accompanies moving on. The convenience of creeping on Facebook tends to
intensify the feeling. Another survey participant described it as unhealthy and "self-destructive."
"The thing is, you're creeping on him because you want to find something. You want to find something to be angry about. You want to see if any new girls have written on his wall or if there are pictures tagged of him partying or doing whatever. You're kind of looking for something to be mad about," she said.
McCroskey said she never went back to her ex's profile on her own, but had friends who would keep tabs for her. She said she wouldn't have checked up on him and his new girlfriend even if she had the means to.
"It wasn't a solid, good way of ending things, so it was like, 'I hate you and I never want to talk to you again,' she said. "I never felt too obligated to and make myself feel better by looking at [his new girlfriend's] ugly pictures."
When creeping gets out of hand, it's crucial to step away from the smartphone or computer screen and get a fresh perspective of the relationship itself.
"Sometimes it can make or break it," McCroskey said. "It's important to talk about it, give it some time and make sure that you want to date and are happy with the person, that you're putting it on Facebook because you have [a solid relationship] and it's not going to change how you feel about that one person."

Naturally, when Margo Bogossian returned home to El Paso, Texas from studying abroad in Argentina, her family wanted to see pictures of her trip. However, it was this small gesture that made her realize that the word "normal" had lost it's meaning.
"It was kind of like, 'life's supposed to be normal again, and for me it's not,'" she said. "I feel like I've changed and learned new things and seen all these new things and going back to normal life, it doesn't fit the same again."
Hannah Lujano had a similar encounter when she tried to describe an experience she had in the country and her family laughed at her.
Bogossian and Lujano, both seniors, spent six weeks studying advanced Spanish in Buenos Aires as part of the University's Language and Culture Study Abroad Program. However, after stepping back on U.S. soil, they've found the transition
back to small town American culture is a little more complicated than they thought.
They miss the convenience and buzz of city life. Lujano, who is from McPherson, said she's still adjusting to rural life.
"The lack of constant activity is deadly," she said.
"We benefitted immensely from the cultural immersion. The reality of South America is terrifying, intoxicating and stunning."
HANNAH LUJANO senior from McPherson
Bogossian has moved around the U.S. but never to a big city. Seeing buses and subways everywhere and waking up to blaring car horns at 6 a.m. were new experiences.
"it's a little bit like how I would imagine New York, where the people
are busy all the time and a little bit more blunt," she said. "It's a little different compared to Midwesterners."
Having traveled abroad prior to Buenos Aires, Bossogian expected to have a similar relationship to that of her warm, friendly Costa Rican host mom. She found her Argentine host mom had a more up-front, abrasive personality.
"Their look on life is a little bit different and their way of approaching people is a little bit different," she said. "It took me a week or so to realize she's not mad at me, that's just how she was."
Her host mom would often accuse Bogossian's roommate of opening and closing the blinds, even though the roommate never touched them.
"It was just little things like that and you had to get used to it. It's like, you can't argue with the woman; she's just going to keep saying the same thing," she said.

Hannah Luano (front) sits on a dock in Colonia, Uruguay. Luiano said one of the most difficult parts of returning to the U.S. was speaking primarily English and adjusting to rural life in her hometown of McPherson after leaving the hectic energy of the city.
CULTURE FROM PAGE 6
Lujano found the men were free with their thoughts concerning women.
"It was an off day when we weren't complimented by men at least a handful of times whenever we left our apartment," she said. "This made us nervous at first, but we came to accept it like all of the other women in Buenos Aires."
Bogossian and Lujano said returning from speaking primarily Spanish to their native English has been rough.
"At the end of a conversation I want to say 'ciao,' but everyone is like, 'what are you saying?' Bogosian said.
A traditional Argentine dinner is at
9 p.m. or later. At lujano's host house,
this was at least a two-hour affair. She
quickly learned to take advantage of the afternoon tea and snack, the merienda, after class.
One thing the two haven't had any problem adjusting to is homestyle food in the States. The first thing Lujano did when she got home was eat a burrito with her best friend and boyfriend, and Bogossian's grandma made her a huge, American lunch complete with ham, pototaoes and strawberry pound cake.
"While you're there, the whole time you're like, 'I would love to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, I would love a cheeseburger now, that sounds so good.' And then you get back and you're like 'I wish I could eat this from Argentina,' Bogossian said. "Wherever you are, you want the other type of food."
The short amount of time meant
that the group had to take advantage of every opportunity to explore the city and culture. Sitting on the plane back to the U.S. Bogossian had a "minor freak-out."
"I was just like, 'have I enjoyed Buenos Aires enough and seen everything I wanted to see? Because what are the chances of me coming back?" she said.
"Six weeks is definitely not enough time to become bilingual, what we learned came mostly from outside of the classroom," Lujano said. "We benefitted immensely from the cultural immersion. The reality of South America is intoxicating, terrifying and stunning."

City's 30th annual Sidewalk Sale this Thursday
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
Beginning Thursday morning at 5 a.m., some of the most serious shoppers from across the metro will break out their credit cards and empty their wallets for downtown's annual sidewalk sale.
atc
Sidewalk Sale here
7 am to 8 pm
next Thursday!
See you then!
Stephanie Orth, a junior from Lawrence, will be heading downtown around 6:30 a.m. to score some deals on shoes and clothing.
Arizona Trading Company advertises for the annual Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale. The sale lasts from 4 a.m.to 10 p.m.on Thursday, July 18.
"I have attended the sidewalk sale for a total of six years," Orth said. "I keep coming back for the good sales on shoes and KU apparel."
a lot earlier than usual.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Orth is just one of hundreds of people who will be up before the sun to take advantage of sales. Last year's Facebook event had 330 attending, and this year is expected to draw an equally large crowd.
"We're probably going to open around 6 or 6:30 a.m., and we'll be spending the whole week preparing," Dollar said.
This will be Dollar's first time working the sidewalk sale, but she won't have to work alone.
Elaine Dollar works at Britches, a women's clothing store at 843 Massachusetts St. She said she'll be at work
"Everyone on staff will be working that day." Dollar said.
Dollar said that Britches will have additional sales on items already discounted, and the store will feature
items like discounted tank tops and maxi skirts as well.
Weavecly RALLY HOUSE
Orth plans on taking advantage of sales like these, but is also keeping her spending within a budget.
"I usually limit myself around $50 to $70." Orth said.
Dan Hughes, manager of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike has been a part of the sidewalk sale for 24 years, and he and his staff have been gearing up for Sunflower's 30th sidewalk sale for a while.
"Everything in the store will be on sale," Hughes said. "it's been a lot of work. We've been preparing for the past four or five weeks so we're ready when the day rolls around."
Some shoppers have been known to start lining up as early as 3 a.m. to be the first in. Although people will be
in line well before stores open, Hughes advises shoppers to have a plan.
"Make a check list of stores you want to hit up first so you can knock those out of the way and get the stuff you want," Hughes said. "Then, once you're done with that, go back a second time and see if
there's anything you missed, or check out other stores that weren't at the top of your list."
Like Britches, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike will be pushing most of the sales toward items that need to go. Hughes saids shoppers can expect to see deals on items that stores have a lot of or
need to get rid of.
After working the sidewalk sale for 24 years, Hughes has one key piece of advice for shoppers:
"Stay hydrated," Hughes said.

'Magna Carta' overhyped, under lyricized
AJ BARBOSA
abarbosa@kansan.com
If you were expecting Jay-Z to release one of the strongest hip-hop albums to date — which isn't too lofty an expectation, especially when you consider the production team — you're likely disappointed. If you were expecting another pretty good Jay-Z album, you're likely satisfied.
That's what "Magna Carta." Holy Grail" is — it's a pretty good album.
But thanks to a series of long-winded, climactic promotional commercials, we were told to expect the "new rules." We were lead to believe this album was going to be 21st-century hip-hop's magnum opus. Had the music community not been so mercilessly blue-balled, the album would have received universally rave reviews.
This album was a slow, straight pitch with a full count and the bases loaded; it had some of the hottest
producers in the game — Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, J-Roc — behind the soundboards. All Jay-Z needed to do was swing, but he only managed to hit a single. He put another point on the board, but he should have hit a grand slam.
On "Tom Ford," for example, Hov squeezes out 16 weak, forced bars in the two verses between the song's admittedly catchy, yet nonetheless flaccid hook.
The same goes for "Somewhereina-
merica." I-Roc, who helped craft the genius beat on "Ni**as in Paris," tees Hov up with his swankiest, bounciest beat since The Blueprint's "Hola Hovito," with which he fumbles out a minute and a half's worth of mediocre — by his standard — rhymes. Sadly, the song's highlight is the infamous Miley Cyrus line, which is nowhere remotely close to the lyrical brilliance Jay-Z is capable of. It's funny, but Miley Cyrus name-drops should never be the highlight.

"Nickels and Dimes" is a solid track and closes the album nicely.

moments, though; "Holy Grail," minus the limp reference to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," is a downright jam, and its ominous, dense beat is one of Timbaland's best in years (not to mention the fact that it features what may be Justin Timberlake's best vocal performance, ever). Hov steps away from the album's underlying apotheotic theme to speak somewhat candidly about fatherhood in "JAY Z Blue."

By Landon McDonald
lmcdonald@kansan.com
Del Toro's 'Pacific Rim'a monstrous marvel
Guillermo del Toro's visually stunning monster mash-up "Pacific Rim" plays like a radioactive love letter to old Godzilla movies, mecha anime and the awesome, child-like joy that comes from creative destruction. In a summer beset with endless sequels, prequels and reboots, this is an atomic breath of fresh air: a whiz-bang Saturday morning cartoon brought to dazzling, cacophonous life by the ultimate fanboy made good.
Equal parts futurist fantasia, drive in creature feature and gobsmacking action ballet, "Pacific Rim" takes place in a world where skyline-leveling leviathans called kaiju (Japanese for "strange beast") routinely rise from an interdimensional rift in the Pacific Ocean and lay siege to Earth's major coastal cities, including Hong
Kong and San Francisco. Faced with the threat of imminent extinction and unwilling to use nuclear weapons near such heavily populated areas, the nations of the world ban together to create the Jaegers (German for "hunter"), an army of giant robots, each controlled by two pilots linked by a "neural handshake" that enables them to act in perfect unison.
The plot, a heady brew of "Top Gun" and "Mobile Suit Gundam," focuses on disgraced ex-flyboy Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam from "Sons of Anarchy") and his quest for redemption after the traumatic death of his older brother/co-pilot Diego Klattenhoff). Steely-eyed General Pentecost (end-of-days motivational speaker Idris Elba) sees great potential in the damaged
young man and, after the requisite rigmarole, pairs him up with the program's star pupil Mako (Rinko Kikuchi from "Babel"), a gifted warrior who has seen her own share of tragedy. The rest of the movie plays out as a euphoric tribute to man-insuit monster movies and the legions of children they helped to inspire (including the lifelong Godzilla fan writing this review).
This should probably go without saying, but filmgoers expecting the dark, melancholy genius of del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" and "The Devil's Backbone" may be disappointed by what they find here. There's plenty of heart, but not much in the way of depth or complexity (the movie is about giant robots fighting giant monsters after all, not the death of childhood innocence
in Fascist Spain). "Pacific Rim" is more comparable to the Mexicanauteur's "Hellboy" films, mainstreamfantasies bolstered by superior creature effects and a visionary'seye for set design (the film's actioncenterpiece takes place in a HongKong rebuilt around the skeleton ofa fallen kaiju).
Jaw-dropping visuals aside, the movie should be commended for its skill at avoiding some of the melodramatic pitfalls that dog the eyeball-straining, intellect-draining films of Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich. First of all, there's no pointless, shoehorned romance between Hunnam and Kikuchi's characters, only a gradually established professional friendship. There's also a merciful lack of brooding ant-heroes, ponderous flashbacks and ham-fisted social commentary."Pacific Rim" is escapist entertainment, pure and simple, arguably the best of its breed since the original "Jurassic Park" lumbered into theaters.
Another strength is del Toro's impish sense of humor, which lightens the mood without diluting the emotional stakes. Much of this stems from the yappy, excitable Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia")
a self-confessed "kaiju groupie" who believes he can forge a neurological connection with a brain-damaged sea monster, much to the chagrin of his simpering lab assistant Gottlieb (Burn Gorman, somehow channeling Crispin Glover and John Hurt simultaneously). Ron Perlman, del Toro's longtime friend and collaborator since 1993's "Cronos," also earns some well-deserved chuckles as Hannibal Chau, a black marketeer who traffics in kaiju organs to afford his 24-karat wardrobe, including a set of gold-plated teeth and shoes.
All in all, "Pacific Rim" is a rare and wonderful beast: a sci-fi opus with a custom mythology whose appeal seems readymade for all age groups. I would love to see it spawn a few sequels (and maybe a cross-over with Legendary's forthcoming "Godzilla" reboot), but nothing is guaranteed when you're dealing with an original, unproven property, especially in the middle of a season built on the promise of the safe and familiar. No matter the box office result, one thing remains certain: Guillermo del Toro has made the most ferociously entertaining movie of the summer.

Singer brings country experience
Slip on an old pair of blue jeans and grab a cowboy hat because Granger Smith is bringing Lawrence more than just a concert; he's bringing the entire country experience.
Granger Smith is set to perform at the Granada Theater in Lawrence this Thursday. Tickets are $10 in advanced and $12 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. with an 8 p.m. show time.
The Texas born-and-bred singer-songwriter has been busy remodeling the face of traditional country one chart-topping single at a time. With George Strait as his inspiration and a 1-year-old daughter to keep him grounded, Smith is doing everything in his realm to give his fans something exceptionally unique.
SARAH NOONAN editor@kansan.com
"If my fans have listened to my CDs, they don't wanna go to the concert and listen to them over again." Smith said. "I'm going to make the songs come alive, not just audibly, but visually. It will be more than a man strumming a guitar."
The release of his new full-length studio album, "Dirt Road Driveway" in April was No. 1 on iTunes Country Chart. It also landed him a music video spot on ESPN's College Football Live and E! News. Smith took the time to support American troops
"I'm going to make the songs come alive, not just audibly, but visually."
GRANGER SMITH Country singer
on a tour in Iraq and Kuwait earlier this year. Nothing compares to an audience of soldiers who have been away from home and crave a piece of America, Smith said.
"You feel the gratitude coming back to you tenfold," he said. "I wasn't prepared for how much I got from them. It was no longer me thanking the fans, but the fans thanking me. I have a whole new appreciation and understanding for what they are doing and what they stand for."
The intensity of country music culture can be almost shocking for some people. Smith's drummer, Dusty Saxton has been banging on pots and pans since he was two years old. The self-taught musician and Texas native played for years in the rock and roll genre, but crossed lines to the country scene to join Smith's band last September.
"I've come to realize country music fans are one of a kind, along with the lifestyle in general" Saxton said. "We travel to states we've never been to before and sell a club out to hundreds of people that already know every song by heart. It's just normally not the way it works with rock concerts."
It's clear that Smith and his band are both serious and playful when it comes to their craft; they're humble enough not to take themselves too seriously, but dedicated enough not to let their name slip out of mind.
"Lawrence, get ready for a rocking' country time," Smith said.

Upcoming blockbusters fill remaining summer weeks
By Kaitlyn Hilgers
khilgers@kansan.com
This summer has already proved to be a pretty successful one for new movies. With blockbusters like "Man of Steel" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness," comedies such as "The Heat" and "This is The End" and, finally, surprise hits such as "The Bling Ring," there has always been something worth watching.
And it doesn't seem to be slowing down as the summer wraps up. Rather, production companies seem to have been saving the best for last. Here are my top picks through the end of August.
"THE CONJURING"- JULY 19
Horror films seem to be out in abundance this summer, with "The
THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY
Purge" earlier on and "You're Next" coming out soon. However, no trailer has made me more frightened than that of "The Conjuring." And if the trailer alone makes me turn away in fear, I can only imagine how scary the actual film will be. On top of that, the basis of the movie being a "real-life" family looking back on their own terrors is a new and creative way of telling a story, which is what horror film junkies are begging for.
totally worth that $9.50.
"THE TO DO LIST" - JULY 26
I am not going to lie, this movie doesn't look as funny as "This is the End," but in my mind nothing can go wrong if Aubrey Plaza is involved. Add Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Rachel Bilson, Andy Samberg and Clark Gregg, and I am completely sold on whatever you are selling, even if it is a movie about an overly nerdy girl trying to ditch her "loser" ways in order to score a fling the summer before her first year in college. Maybe it won't be awesome, or maybe it will be totally lame and predictable, but I am holding out hope that this is yet another surprising comedy that is
"THE WOLVERINE"-JULY 26
I do realize that I am one of few who did not particularly enjoy "Man of Steel," so my summer cravings for a superhero action film has yet to be satisfied. Therefore, I have very high hopes and expectations for "The Wolverine," Switching up directors from the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" installment promises that this film will take a new — and hopefully better direction. Needless to say, this film will have action scene upon action scene, which hopefully will not lend itself to forgetting to tell an equally thrilling story.
"THE SPECTACULAR NOW" - AUGUST 2
Following the success of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Spectacular Now" is the story of two young teens who fall in love and work through their high school days. Not surprisingly, I was a huge fan of "Perks," so I am beyond excited for another film that can take me through an emotional roller coaster with characters I can connect with. The only
reservation I have is the casting of Shailene Woodley, but hopefully this will make me warm up to her before she stars in "The Fault in Our Stars."
"THE BUTLER"-AUGUST 16
From the director of "Precious" comes the story of Cecil Gaines, an African-American butler who served eight presidents during his time as the head burder of the White House. Similar to that of "The To Do List" this film is full of big name stars such as Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker,
Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., James Marsden, Alan Rickman and Oprah Winfrey. However, unlike the comedy, "The Butler" seems to also have a good story line, supreme writing and amazing music to add into the mix. While biography films can verge on boring in my opinion, it seems as though the issue and time that the movie is set in is going to allow for an exciting and exhilarating ride through history.

THE MORNING BREW Improvement critical to Weis' second year
Sometimes Charlie Weis is tough to take seriously. Sure he's an offensive guru and something to marvel at when he lineups up 3-WR sets with two tight ends ready to take off, but something about him doesn't exactly inspire confidence about developing players.
By Connor Oberkrom
editor@kansan.com
I'm not trying to tear into Charlie Weis' eccentric psyche here and say they he just doesn't have it in himself to cultivate the right system to develop college players but he surely hasn't done anything to disprove this notion. We love our second chances in this country and that certainly rings true in college football and Weis has just that.
Weis may not have any star-studded talent on this roster but there is talent. People have to be asking themselves if we can't judge Weis on wins and losses, then how the heck are we supposed to gauge this season.
First of all, does the system improve? Last year, elongated drives and time of possession was far from stellar on offense and the rhythm
was as more out of sync than a med school student's sleep schedule.
Jake Heaps, the starting QB is still learning a new system but he has been here for a little over a year and a half. The wide receiver corps, while may not be exactly formidable, has two highly regarded transfers coming in. Nick Harwell and Justin McCay will hopefully validate just how good Weis' system can be.
Defensive has the been the black hole of Weis' resume while he was in South Bend and it's not going to get any easier for a defense that lost its entire starting secondary. But, that's where the developing is going to have to spur and pick up
fast, especially in the state of the Big 12.
It's hard to pinpoint this and latch a value onto it, but college football coaching may be the most essential of any sport. Sure, the best coaches get the best players but those things tend to go hand in hand. While Nick Saban is has a snaky personality and recruits football players like Fox News recruits blondes, he is eminently unbelievable at developing players and milking every inch of talent out of them.
Once and maybe still a legend around these parts, former head coach Mark Mangino was unfathomably spectacular at this task. When three stars and no names such as Aqib Talib and Dezmon Briscoe are becoming linchpins of your program, you know the coach is working his wonders at getting maximum talent out of players. Weis needs to show that he can have a guy come out of nowhere and become a guy that can carry a team.
When you sift through all the teams, the great ones take the personalities of their coach and respect them. Many other little things that permeate a college football game can be the surefire difference of a 5-win team versus a 7-win team. While it's not tangible, it certainly shows down the stretch late in games as it did a little last year. You don't want to hear about the team quitting on Weis.
KU
While play calling probably isn't going to be a problem, the tougher things to take head-on are going to be the true tests that Weis is going to have to convey this season. The second year is important for a college coach because it's either the stepping-stone or the breaking point into that next level. This year isn't going to decide it, but it certainly will play a factor.

COMMENTARY
Kansas should produce more talent, fewer trades
10
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Jeff Withey dunks the ball against Kansas State at Bramage Coliseum Jan 22. Withey scored 11 total points with 10 rebounds. Kansas defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 59-55.
By Nathan Fordyce
nfordyce@kansan.com
2,101 victories, 721 winning percentage, 56 conference championships and five national championships. The Jayhawks are used to excellence.
Even with the prestigious history, the Jayhawks haven't produced the NBA level talent that would be expected from a powerhouse.
In fact, there is a growing trend in the NBA, a trend of Jayhawks being traded. There are 15 current NBA Jayhawks and only three haven't been traded at some point in their career whether midseason or draft night. The three Jayhawks not to be traded: Nick Collison (Oklahoma City), Markieff Morris (Phoenix) and Ben McLemore (Sacramento).
Jeff Withey was the latest victim to fall to the trend as he was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers in this year's draft and was moved a week later to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Withey joined five other Jayhawks who have been traded since the beginning of the new year. On that list are Thomas Robinson, who has been traded twice this year, Marcus Morris, Darrell Arthur, Cole Aldrich and Paul Pierce.
Robinson, Aldrich and Kirk Hinrick have all been traded twice in their careers. But no current Jayhawk has been traded like power forward Drew Gooden, Gooden, a former Big 12 Player of the Year, has been traded a whopping four times since he began his NBA career in 2002.
In the trading fiasco, one of Kansas' all-time greats in Pierce wasn't even exempt from the increasing trend. Pierce had played his entire NBA career donning the green jersey of the Boston Celtics, a 14-year career.
Mario Chalmers, Tyshawn Taylor and now Withey were all traded before they even played a minute in the league. Both Taylor and Chalmers
were traded on draft day.
When the picks of Chalmers and Taylor were selected, that pick had already been traded but NBA rules don't approve trades immediately so both were drafted by a different team prior to being with their current teams of the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets respectively.
This growing trend is no indication of how the Jayhawks are taught or play at the University, but it is increasingly odd that of the current Jayhawks in the NBA, very few have enjoyed a career without being traded.

Although she wrote much of her proposal herself, Stumpf said being awarded the fellowship wouldn't have happened without the help of the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, where she works.
For the fellowship, NASA will give the University a grant to develop an ultrawideband ice sensor while Stumpf develops a wide-flux imagining mode for it. After its completion, the sensor will be flown over Greenland and Antarctica

"really feel completely fortunate and so blessed that I have the support of the center and the faculty and all the other students," she said. "Everyone's pooling in on this big research mission, and it's given me the opportunity to do something really amazing. I don't think I'd have the opportunity if I had just been writing it as a free agent."
"I thought I had no shot whatsoever," she said. "Honestly, writing a proposal was the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do because you kind of had to know where you were going to go. You're standing in a place where you feel so lost, and it took a lot of planning and thinking, so it was really challenging."
Stumpf said being granted the fellowship came as a complete shock.

NASA awards grant to graduate student
A University graduate student has been granted a three-year, $90,000 fellowship from NASA to develop a new ice-penetrating radar.
to gather information from ice-sheets that can allow scientists to more effectively study the effect of climate change on the polar ice sheets and accurately predict future sea levels.
Stumpf is hopeful the opportunity to work on a project like this with such a prestigious institution will open more doors for her professionally.
"Certainly being able to go into the field, you make contacts with people at NASA," she said. "And for me, I always really wanted to work at a NASA research center as opposed to academia, and I think this
can only help hopefully, if I'm still standing by the end."
Stumpf's work on the project will begin in September when the grant money arrives. She hopes to be testing the imaging mode in a year.

Alumni donation doubles student financial support
EMMA LEGUALT elegualt@kansan.com
The late Stata Norton Ringle and her husband David's $10 million endowment gift will create student scholarships, support for getting new books and medical manuscripts and maintain current collections at the Clendening History of Medicine Library at KU Medical Center and the Kenneth Spencer Research Library on the Lawrence campus.
During her 28-year career at the University, Ringle served as professor emerita of pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics, professor in the Department of Dietetics and Nutrition and the dean of the School of Health Professions (then the School of Allied Health).
In addition to improving the two libraries, the gift will more than double the amount of financial support available for University students pursuing health-related
goals.
"It's a sizable gift that is very impactful, and it also has breadth of uses in terms of supporting students directly and providing special support for library collections," said Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment.
"She was an outstanding person, an outstanding dean and an outstanding scientist," said John Ferraro, professor and chairman of the Department of Hearing and Speech and Associate Dean for Research in the School of Health Professions.
Ferraro said Stata was aware of the need for student funding to bring the "best and brightest" into the school's programs.
"It's an amazingly generous bequeath on their part," he said. "It showed her conviction for supporting her students and the School of Health Professions."

Graduate receives Fulbright scholarship
Chelsea Hochstetler, a recent graduate, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Program scholarship. Hochstetler will be one of 1,700 people traveling abroad through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program for the 2013-2014 academic year.
"It is going to give me the chance to learn so much. It is also quite an honor to be given the opportunity to represent my country," Hochstetler said.
The Fulbright program is the premiere U.S. international educational exchange program funded by the U.S. government and is intended to bolster relations between the U.S. and other countries.
Hochsettler will be travelling to Indonesia for the coming year to
participate in an English Teaching Assistantship. She and the rest of the grant recipients were selected based on academic and professional achievement as well as leadership potential.
"I am excited to really study Islam, to understand Indonesian culture, to learn the language and to grow as an individual. I'll be teaching, but honestly, I'm certain that I'll learn as much from my students as they will learn from me." Hochstetler said.
This is a unique opportunity for recipients to broaden their educational horizons.
Outside of the initial opportunity of teaching abroad, a number of Fulbright recipients have gone on to have very illustrious professional careers. So far 44 recipients have won the Nobel Prize and 78 have won Pulitzer Prizes.

Overbearing government limits freedoms
I don't think I want to be a journalist. Free speech is becoming less a right and more a privilege. Questioning the government makes you a liability and a target, and that makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
I think it's telling that as I sat down to write this column there was this nagging fear in the back of my mind saying that if this piece is seen by the wrong person or in the wrong context, I could be put on a list. It would be the kind of list that deters employers or puts a big red flag by my name at the airport.
Terrifying because I've read this all before in "1984" and "Brave New World" and every other dystopian knock-off from the last fifty years. I've read the same process of turning citizens against one another, nightly
I'm not saying I'm some heroic activist or dissident for writing this. I'm saying that an attitude of fear for a watchful and suspicious government is already growing. And I'm having a terrifying sense of déjà vu.

curfews, and radical jingoism so many times that it feels like, in 2013 America, we're just going through the motions.
They were good reads but I'd like to leave that stuff in books.
When we talk about political reporting, it's not simply about having Matt Taibis and Helen Thomas prod the feds every once in a while. It's about having a community where citizens are allowed to question the actions of their government without being condemned and defamed.
It's happened before with Julian Assange and it's happening right now
with Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning. They start out as citizen heroes, turn into pitiful fools, and end as traitorous bastards who should have stayed silent. Just watch how the media gradually shifts their characterization of Snowden in the coming weeks.
Whether or not there are individuals around to expose them, there will always be evil corporations slowly melting our brains with subliminal messaging and candy bars. It wasn't even all that shocking when the NSA was exposed because it's the expectation that those in power will abuse it.
What won't be guaranteed is the ability to check and balance those organizations. Washington no longer sees an informed public as a mechanism for a healthy democracy but as a safety concern.
If we don't constantly engage and demand answers from our government, we become a big body of tax cows funding the next weapon to end all wars. Speaking up is just getting in the
way. Free speech is dangerous. Liberties and rights are secondary. Moo.
I think the worst part is that I don't really know what to do. I'm not prepared to break into Capitol Hill, riffle through cabinets of documents stamped "CONFIDENTIAL", and expose the Men In Black as being real. I don't even know where to begin with Manning and Snowden. It's so far over all of our heads that the best we can do is wring our hands and stutter about the First Amendment.
I'm still not sure if I want to be a journalist. The survival rate is diving, there was never any money in it to begin with, and it seems that people these days just draw the curtains and watch Netflix.
Maybe I'll tough it out. I may not know what to do but I do know that I'm not content with "Life, Certain Liberties, and a Closely Monitored Pursuit of Government-Approved Happiness"

THE TRUTH
Stop getting lied to, start asking questions
There was once an Emperor who was promised a suit by two swindlers that was of such high quality it was invisible to those unfit for their jobs. As one might expect, the subjects of the Emperor pretend to see it to save face. Finally, a child, too young to realize the charade, loudly proclaims 'he isn't wearing anything at all!' The Emperor's New Clothes is one of the most ubiquitous pieces of social commentary still applicable in the modern day. The story highlights two problems facing society: people who don't ask questions, and those who refuse to do it to save face. We face a similar problem it today's society. As deception expert Pamela Meyer describes, 'Lying is a cooperative act. You were lied to because you agreed to get laid to.' Indeed, far too many people fail to question the claims they here by word of mouth.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Water isn't a filter. Sweating doesn't burn calories. A lack of sugar doesn't mean there aren't other harmful substitutes.

Because our threshold for credible scientific

evidence is so low, we never think to question "conventional wisdom." This is first modern day application of the folktale mentioned above - those who don't ask questions out of instinct.
The second group of people refuse to do so based on a much more sinister social construct. Sometimes, we smell a sham before it's even uttered, but we fail to vocalize. We collude with it, like the subjects of the emperor, in order to save face. This mostly occurs when people are pressured into risky behaviors under the assumption that it is safe, usually based on some asinine explanation. Resisting peer pressure is hard enough, and can be nearly impossibly to fight when the individual looks like the uninformed one for passing on the opportunity. People have been indoctrinated into a society that looks upon curiosity and skepticism with disdain and intolerance.
But there is a way out of the morass. The reason misnomers maintain their
powerful vise-grip on your thought is simply due to a lack of information. Therefore, I suggest that people ask more questions. A simple Google search (or Google Scholar search for the extremely skeptical/paranoid) will yield more than enough information to make an informed decision. However, the problem is, when you bear the burden of this paradigm, you quickly will become a jaded, bitter husk of your naïve self. You will realize that you are living and breathing in half-truths, double speak, and harebrained explanations. But nonetheless, this lifestyle is holistically edifying. Remember, because lying is a cooperative act, you have the option not to participate. If you arm yourself with information and a skeptical lens to what you hear, you will shift the power dynamic in your favor and create an atmosphere where people know that you want nothing but the truth.

"SUMMER DREAMS, RIPPED AT THE SEAMS"
EVERY SUMMER HAS A STORY Will your fling live through the fall or is it time to move on?
EMMA LEGUALT editor@kansan.com
Bright and early on the first day of the fall semester, an alarm clock ringone signals the end of a summer free of commitment. Groggily, you get up and sit through the first English lecture.
Thirty minutes into class, a text comes in — it's that person you spent the lazy summer days and electric nights with.
However, there's a decision to be made before you hit reply: should the romance fade faster than a summer tan? Or could you see the two of you still snuggling up, sharing a peppermint late come winter?
If the fling is finished:
If you've decided that it was the delirious heat of the sun that turned you into a starstruck, love-crazed teenager for the past two months and
it's time to end it, don't beat around the bush.
There are a couple of central reasons why summer flings end: the inconvenience of a busy fall schedule, the appeal of having no commitment

and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with having a relationship.
Amy Schroeder, a sophomore from Colby, found herself saying "see ya" to a summer romance because she had a gut feeling going into the school year that it wasn't going to turn into anything else.
"A fling is something you jump into without thinking about it and not really having an expectation about, knowing it's most likely not going to last," she said.
The key is to let them down easy, but stick to your guns.
Schroeder said she started hanging out less and stopped communicating less to get the point across.
If the fling becomes a thing:
A year later, Schroeder was at
According to an article by Angela Kovalyak on CenegageBrain com, there are five steps to ending a summer relationship: spend less time together, don't make future plans, don't trade phone numbers or contact info at the end of the summer, know when the right time to end it is and be honest.

GOVERNMENT
Districts argue cuts to education are unconstitutional
MATT JOHNSON editor@kansan.com
Over the next two years, Kansas schools will receive $1.23 billion less in state aid than the amount mandated by existing statutes. After scrambling to fund basic programs and pay for their personnel over the past few years, a number of school districts have sued the legislature, arguing that such a massive budget shortfall violates the state constitution.
Lawsuits of this kind are nothing new in Kansas. In a 2005 case, the Kansas Supreme Court reversed a state court's 2001 decision (Montoy v. Kansas) by ruling that education funding levels were unacceptable. The court required the legislature to redress the problem by increasing funding to Kansas public schools.
Although this lead to a temporary spike in funding, it quickly diminished again. According to the current statute set by the Montoy case, the base state aid per-pupil should be $4,492, but the state has only budgeted $3,838 per-pupil for 2014 and
$3,852 per-pupil for 2015.
Gannon v. Kansas is the most recent lawsuit that includes a number of school districts as plaintiffs. It was heard by a Shawnee County court in January, and the ruling reaffirmed the minimum of $4,492 per student. However, the state appealed the case, which will now be heard by the Kansas Supreme Court. A decision is expected in December.
Even if the Kansas Supreme Court rules in favor of the school districts, there remains the question of enforcement. The court ordered the legislature to provide $4,492 per student in 2005, but this responsibility was simply side-stepped in subsequent years. The superintendent of USD 305, William Hall, considers the actual dispersion of funds a troubling issue hanging over the new lawsuit.
I've heard some legislators make the comment that they expect to lose, but go on to say, 'Good luck trying to enforce it.' So, I think we're going to see a lot of friction between the legislature and the courts as a result of this."
"I expect the court will say the legislature is not fulfilling its constitutional requirement to adequately fund schools, and it will order the legislature to do so," he said, "Still,
There has been a steady decline in state funding since 2006, and a sharp decline since 2009. "This is not new for us," said Julie Boyle, communications director for USD 497, "Since 2005, we've seen reductions. But they told us this legislative session that our funding level would be the same for the next two years."
And although funding will, if the current budget remains in place, remain unchanged in 2014 and 2015, schools have already been forced to contend with insufficient funds in unorthodox ways. Boyle notes one of the most worrying methods being employed across the state.
"You see a lot of districts — including us — relying on contingency reserve funds. We're taking money from our emergency funds and using
it for things that are ongoing. So, you see a lot of districts using those funds for salaries and ongoing costs when that's really not what they're for. If you have an emergency need, then you won't have emergency funds," she said.
"We had to use a portion of our emergency funds to get through the year. The problem with that is: it's your savings account. When that money's gone, it's gone for good," he said.
Hall has similar concerns.
As was the case for USD 305, matters deteriorated the most for USD 497 in 2009 as the economy stalled. Boyle lists a series of cuts USD 497 has been forced to make in the last few years.
"We had about a 10 percent cut to our general operating fund back in 2009. That turned out to be 4 or 5 million dollars. So, we looked at pretty much everything. We closed some schools, we reduced the number of teachers we had — which meant increasing our class sizes. We weren't
able to give staff the raises that we wanted to, we stopped taking a lot of field trips and cut back on what we provided in terms of transportation, so we've had cuts in all areas since 2009" she said.
Hall said USD 305 has tried to implement cost-cutting without sacrificing the quality of education students are receiving. "We've tried to do some things that don't impact what happens in the classroom," he said, "We've downsized information technology, structural assistance, maintenance, custodial and administrative departments."
However, he thinks it's time for Topeka to honor the statutes set by the courts.
"The reality of it is that schools are underfunded. They are not where, by court order, the legislature is supposed to be funding them. They're 6 or 7 hundred dollars less on the base than they should be," he said.

a party and called a friend for a ride home. He showed up with his friend, Michael. They hung out that evening, and the next day, which happened to be his birthday, he invited her over.
They saw each other through the summer, but when he took Schroeder to dinner two weeks before school started and asked her to the Homecoming dance, she knew this fling was meant to last.
And it has — for three years.
"When we started hanging out I was like 'oh he's cool,' but I didn't really expect anything out of it," Schroeder said. "Wed been in the same school since we were little kids. It was hard to imagine anything would come out of it."
What made the difference for Schroeder was asking her to the dance, a sign that he was making an effort to fit her in to his future.
If you're wanting to stretch the romance through the fall, winter and spring, Allie Duncan's article on HerCampus.com offers four tips to turn a fling into a relationship: to make plans to accompany each other to a date party or other event, to be upfront and communicate your feelings, don't overwhelm yourself or your crush with romantic tunnel vision and don't panic. If it's meant to be, it will work out in time.

For those looking for alcoholic beverages with fewer calories, light beer is a favorite. But according to a recent article by USA Today, many light beers have more calories than other drink options.

'Breaking Bad,' 'Web Therapy'fill last summer weeks
By Kaitlyn Hilgers
khilgers@kansan.com
As the summer winds down and summer classes come to an end, summer classes are ending, and we're all trying to take our last few weeks as an opportunity to completely veg out, whether it be at the pool or in front of the TV. If the second option sounds like a bit more fun to you, as it does to me, here are some of the shows that should be on your radar.
TOM PETTY AND JOHN RYAN
"WEB THERAPY" - JULY 23 (SHOWTIME)
Web series-turned-television show, "Web Therapy," is returning for the fifth season of this uniquely funny show. Starring Lisa Kudrow as a therapist named Fiona Wallace, who
has created a new version of therapy that lasts three minutes, in order to cut out the irrelevant information, and is done completely through iChat. The show cuts between the computer screen of the sessions, or the singular person talking straight at the camera, which creates a different viewing experience for the audiences. Full of guest stars and witty comments, this show is definitely worth a tune in, regardless of whether you have watched any of the other seasons previously.
"BROADCHURCH" - AUG. 7 (BBC AMERICA)
and emotional roller coaster ride, as shown from its success earlier in the UK.
If you are looking to start a new show that is just beginning, "Broadchurch" may be the best option for you. Over the span of eight episodes, this show will explore a town's reaction to the death of an 11-year old boy and how the media, the tragedy, and uncertainty can tear a small town apart. Starring Olivia Colman ("Peep Show") and David Tennant ("Dr. Who"), this drama promises audiences a tragic
"THE WHITE QUEEN" - AUG. 10
(STARZ)
THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY
Starz is debuting perhaps this summer's only costume drama, the 10-part British drama "The White Queen." The show is set during the Wars of the Roses and is based off of the novels by Philippa Gregory, and seems to be trying to capture the audiences who are waiting for the return of "Game of Thrones." While this seems to be much less exciting and, honestly, not as well done, it could be just what the doctor ordered for the viewers who are going through extreme withdrawals.
"BREAKING BAD"-AUG.11 (AMC)
There was no way that I could not add in the second part of the final season of "Breaking Bad." Audiences will be able to watch the final eight episodes and finally see what happens to Mr. White and his partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman. While this is not a
show I would recommend coming into now, the first four seasons are on Netflix, the difficult part will be finding somewhere to watch the first half of the final season. All you diehard "Breaking Bad" fans, don't worry - there are many promises
of a spin off series focusing on the character Saul Goodman. Just remember as the tagline for the season states, "All bad things must come to an end."

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis at Power and Light District
The rising hip-hop stars Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are set to perform at the 2013 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City on July 29. The duo recently released its debut album, "The Heist," which sent them to the runner-up position on Billboard Hot 200.
The album's single "Thrift Shop" topped a number of charts including the Hot 100.
Within a genre full of fronting, beef and bravado, Macklemore's music is shockingly genuine. From his platinum-selling marriage equality anthem, "Same Love," to his American slang hit, "Can't Hold Us," Macklemore works hard to increase his level of success and personal potential no matter what obstacles stands in his way.
The concert starts at 9 p.m. It's free, but fans will need a ticket to enter. For more information on how to get
tickets, visit www.MLSsoccer.com/ allstar.
Their hits, "Sadie Hawkins Dance," and "Be My Escape" will have the crowd moving in no time. Lead singer Matt Thiessen, who formed the band in 1998, focuses on finding a balance between a crazy yet emotional performance.
The American rock band Reliant K is gearing up for a one-of-a-kind performance at the Granada today. After the release of its newest album, "Collapsible Lung" on July 2, fans have been anticipating the pop-punk bands national tour.
Relient K at the Granada
Many of its songs are fun, catchy mainstream pop songs with some Christian undertones.
Over their career, Reliant K has sold more than 2 million records, won two Dove Awards and was nominated for one Grammy. The concert starts at 8 p.m. tonight at the Granada. Tickets are $35.
The Postal Service at Midland Theatre
A band can spend all the time,
money and effort trying to create the perfect pop-music line-up,but sometimes the stars need to align all on their own.
The band, The Postal Service, became something unique through the meaning of its name- the U.S. Postal Service.
Lead singer and Washington native, Ben Gibbard, sent recordings back and forth with producer Jimmy Tamorello, to mix exquisitely matched synthetic sounds with natural ones.
Their hit single, "Such Great Heights," from their debut album, "Give Up," was the beginning of a phenomenon that brought together a fan base spread out across the musical spectrum. The Postal Service performs at the Midland Theatre in Kansas City on Wednesday, July 31 at 8 p.m. Ticket prices are $35 to $40.
Taylor Swim at the sprint center The blonde bombshell Taylor swift is set to perform at the Sprint Center in Kansas City on Aug. 2 and 3.

Summer camp attracts future Kansas players
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
It's a summery mid-July morning in downtown Lawrence as sophomore forwards Ashley Williams and Courtney Dickerson of the Kansas soccer team dodge the heat to grab breakfast in a restaurant on Massachusetts Street.
The two of them are taking a short break between an early morning weight lifting session and a day of working as counselors for the Jayhawks Soccer Camp.
Williams and Dickerson are coming off of a freshman season in which they each played in all 20 games and combined for 12 goals, but it was just a couple years ago that they were high school campers themselves, experiencing their first tastes of Division I soccer.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
"We got to meet older girls and they told us what to expect." Dickerson said of attending the Kansas soccer camp in high school. "It definitely helped me to be prepared."
The camp that coach Mark Francis runs each summer has become a way for current jahwakes to mentor future
Jayhawks who are already committed to Kansas, as well as other young hopeful soccer players.
KANSAS 9 ACKAKEE 26
Sophomore forward Ashley Williams crosses the ball during a match against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Kansas lost to Arkansas 0-1, closing the spring play for the Jayhawks.
"We know how they feel," Williams said. "We were in their situation a couple years ago. It's nice to see good girls continuing to come through."
Williams said the camp serves as a way to become familiar with the team in a soccer setting for the players who have already committed to Kansas.
"We talk with them and see how they're doing during lunch breaks and times like that," she said.
For Coach Francis, the camp is a way for committed players to be mentored and to scout potential players up close. In past years, Francis has discovered several hidden gems from watching them play in camp.
"Do they have the athleticism and the speed to play in the Big 12?" he said. "And the way we play, players have to be technically skilled with the

ball, so, how's their technique under pressure? How do they play under pressure?"
One of the players that caught the critical coaching eye of Francis years ago was Caroline Kastor, now a senior forward from Wichita. The coaches at the camp could see her potential in the way she played against older, more experienced players. Kastor was offered a scholarship after the camp.
"I just remember getting on the field with some of the KU players at the time and thinking 'Wow, this is really cool.' Kastor said.
Last season, Kastor lead Kansas with 11 goals. As she prepares to be
a teamleader in the coming season, Kastor said she first seriously considered playing at the college level after attending the camp as a sophomore in high school.
"The last night of the camp, when we scrimmaged, I had a really good night," Kastor said. "That was the highlight of the camp for me. I kind of shocked myself, honestly. All of the sudden I was playing really well and that gave me a boost and made me feel like I could keep up athletically with those players."

NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team is coming off one of the best seasons in program history and is poised to make a big splash this season as it has nine upperclassmen to help anchor the team.
The team will begin its 2013 season with nine out of 10 games on the road.
Kansas will also have 14 matches against teams that made it the NCAA tournament a year ago, including defending national champion Texas.
"If we've ever been equipped to handle a schedule like that, this would be the year," coach Ray Bechard said. "Hopefully with a team that's been through three, four years of Big 12 battle, they'll be able to handle that, a very difficult non-conference road schedule this fall."
Bechard, who is heading into his 16th season as Kansas' coach, said the team has lofty goals, but with the national champion looming within the conference, the goals are realistic ones.
"All goals have to be realistic and challenging," Bechard said. "We were a top-three team last year in the Big 12, and that certainly would be a goal again this year. We were an NCAA
participant last year and got to host.
"The NCAA tournament and the Big 12 finish are two very important goals of ours. We want to have an upper finish in the Big 12 — top three, top two — whatever that may be, and I know this team wants to get back to the NCAA tournament."
Last season, the team set a program record with 17 victories inside Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
It should come as no surprise that the Jayhawks are playing the majority of their non-conference games on the road.
Bechard said teams aren't afraid to come to Lawrence to challenge the Jayhawks.
"You want to set up your nonconference road schedule to where you're going to have success, and we're no different than anyone else," Bechard said. "The sense is, KU was pretty good last year and they got all these players returning."
With the experienced team. Bechard said it doesn't have a glaring weakness, provided the injury bug avoids the team.

"I think we can hit the ground running because we feel like we can be a good team, but we can't forget how hard it was last fall," Bechard said. "In this league, it's much easier to take two or three steps back than it is to take one big step forward."

Athletics signs deal with ESPN3, Time Warner
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Earlier this month, Kansas Athletics signed a deal with Time Warner Cable Metro Sports and then followed that up with a seven-year deal with ESPN3.
Although the numbers weren't released, it is one of the largest deals ESPN3 has ever signed.
The deal with Time Warner finished up the tier three television rights.
Time Warner will air at least 50 live events each year which include one football game, six men's basketball games, up to 16 women's basketball games, nine volleyball matches, eight baseball games and up to 12 softball, soccer and track and field events.
ESPN3 will also air an additional 20 live contests that will be viewed nationwide.
All of those numbers can change by the year depending on what the tier one and tier two decide to broadcast.
"It's terrific exposure around the country for all of our sports," said Jim Marchiony, the University's Assistant Athletic Director of Public Affairs. "This is key, this doesn't
have to be confined to be just Kansas Athletics. We want to find ways to publicize the great things that are happening around the University, and this is a way we can do that."
Through the two deals, the University will garner hundreds of hours, approximately 300-500 hours, of live programming.
TIME WARNER
The long-term deal between Time Warner and Kansas Athletics and IMG College, which is the multimedia rights holder for KU Athletics, was an opportunity to gain the most exposure for the University.
The general manager of Jayhawk IMG Sport Marketing, Jason Booker, looked at the overall size and reachability of the market to get the most out of the television deal.
"If you look at the size, comparative to other cable providers on the market, they are the dominate provider. Between Time Warner and Comcast, they have a large percentage of the market share. In addition, having Metro Sports and programming, they have a heavy concept on local programming and they have a full-time production staff."
Metro Sports is a 24/7 sports net-
worke based in Kansas City. As a part of Time Warner, millions of viewers nationwide will be able to see live events from the University.
"Time Warner Cable Metro Sports is extremely excited to partner with Kansas Athletics and IMG to bring Kansas programming to Time Warner Cable subscribers in Kansas City and across the country," said Chris Huwe, general manager, Time Warner Cable Metro Sports, in a press release. "We know how much KU
"We wanted to look and see what was unique about Kansas and what can we do that will benefit us the most."
JASON BOOKER
Jayhawk IMG Sport Marketing
general manager
fans care about the Jayhawks and are proud to produce live games and extensive Kansas Athletics programming on Time Warner Cable Metro Sports.
One of the biggest draws for the University was to be able to get all sports, especially the Olympic sports
— swimming, soccer, track and field,
etc. — suitable coverage. 0 "I think
it's very important to get exposure
for all of our sports," Marchiony
said. "It helps the overall strength
of our athletics department. It helps
recruit really good student athletes to
Kansas and it also helps raise the
visibility of the University which may
help recruit the general student body
as well.
"Because part of this deal, we can highlight the University programs. We can devote some of these hundreds of hours to things that are going on at the University of Kansas."
The University is the last of the Big 12 members to agree to their tier three rights. Texas has their Longhorn Network, which is ESPN-backed; Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech have deals with Fox. Iowa State and West Virginia have agreements with local networks in their regions.
"We wanted to sit back and look at all of our options and we didn't want to jump on the first opportunity that we looked at," Booker said. "We wanted to get a good feel of how everything is working at Texas,
Oklahoma and the other schools with their Fox deals. We wanted to look and see what was unique about Kansas and what can we do that will benefit us the most."
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard, whose team will get some of the first coverage under the deal, said it's great for the University to get the extra publicity outside of the local area.
"It's a whole different kind of following, not just a region basis but a national one," Bechard said. "It's good for Kansas athletics and good for Kansas volleyball."
Under the contract, the volleyball team will have nine games aired over Metro Sports, starting on Sept. 22 against Notre Dame.
Other than the 50 live events that will air, there will be hundreds of hours of Kansas-themed programming. This includes pregame and post-game shows and a weekly magazine-type show that will focus on the athletics and the University.
