SCIENCE
Grant funds research into nanotech
in question final sen.
JACOB MCNIEL jmcniel@kansan.com
The National Science Foundation granted $340,000 for research into whispering gallery mode resonators that can detect minute particles within the human body.
WGM resonators are tiny glass beads that trap the light of a laser and measure its refraction to detect disease and biological clues in the body. Resonators are so small that 10 of them could fit into the period at the end of this sentence.
Testing for early indications of disease is a challenge for many researchers. Robert Dunn, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, said these new tests could become faster, cheaper and simpler. Dunn plans on using WGM resonators to help detect ovarian cancer.

Scientists have applied this same principle to light waves to create the microresonators, which can measure particles smaller than 100 nanometers.

The term "whispering gallery" was coined to explain the how sound waves travel through the dome-shaped ceiling of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. A soft whisper underneath the dome could be heard clearly in another part of the building.

Q&A with Workaholics creators

Comedy Central's show "Workaholics" follows three friends trying to survive life after college by working as telemarketers. The show's stars Blake Anderson and Anders Holm, and writer and director Kyle Newcheck discuss what their worst jobs have been, why the show appeals to college students and what it is like to have a successful TV series.
Newacheck: it's about that mind state just coming out of college, where you have been free for so long and just partying every night and then you get put into a job and you're still in the mindset of partying.
Holm: We're lucky that we have awesome jobs, but we also had those jobs where you have to keep it light or you're going to go insane and kill yourself.
Q: Is the show a satire of nine-to-five jobs?
YOU. CAN!

Anderson: And a lot of the jobs you first get when you're first starting out, they're not your career for the rest of your life. Before I was doing this, it was pizza delivery. I'm not planning on doing it forever, although it would be cool to have three kids and be a pizza guy. I'd probably be their hero.
Q: What was the worst job you ever had?
Holm: I did tele-fundraising like they do on the show. It's brutal because you're not even selling anything. You're just asking people for money. You get like three 10-minute breaks a day with a 15-minute lunch, and you're just sitting at a computer, trying to read a magazine while you tell people to save whales or help out the NRDC. And then they just shout at you and tell you
Q: What's it like having a popular TV show?
that they're going to call their lawyers and sue them. It sucked.
Anderson: I worked at a butenec shop, but it actually wasn't that bad. It was just a bunch of guys making crude jokes, and I'm a fan of that.
Anderson: I've always said its just cool to have a popular show because other people in the industry are in industries you respect. It opens doors and opportunities to meet with cool people. And it only leads to bigger better things. When you have a successful show, people you like tend to want to work with you.

Clearinghouse has had ample time to die around and make a ruling.
to go around and make a ruling.
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
I'm arguing for a ruling.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense, I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I isn't mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
I'm arguing for a ruling.
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.
remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson.

Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win.
The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas' Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders.
The losses haven't been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in

What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks.
Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.
"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."

Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
