GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU // LIP BALM
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.

Madelynne Lockhart uses her Nivea lip balm at least twice a day when her lips begin to feel dry. She knows exactly where she keeps her lip balm too - one at her desk and one in her purse.
Lockhart, a sophomore from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, says she's tried numerous lip balms, but Nivea is the only one that makes her lips feel soft and full of moisture.
People question if lip balm can be addictive, drying and even harmful if consumed. Over-the-counter lip balms tend to be hydrating and, of course, we like shiny, lubricated
lips, which is why we buy them, says Dr. Marti Byers, M.D., CLS at MedCosmetic in Overland Park. Lips become dry out naturally because of the continuous eating and washing we do, she says.
It is important to maintain the texture, tone and thickness of our lips because as we age, the bone, skin, and fat begin to thin. Byers says.
A lip balm with petroleum, which moisturizes the skin, and sunscreen, preferably an SPF of 30 to protect against UVA rays, are needed to keep your lips healthy. Selecting a brand and flavor depends on your preference.
Consuming lip balm is not harmful if it rubs off the lips into our mouths. There is no toxicity associated with lip balm nor has it been linked to any stomach problems, Byers says. Since wearing lip balm is habitual, and not an addiction, it's a good habit Lockhart has.
Verdict: Good for you, if contains petroleum and sunscreen.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS //
WORKING OUT ON A TIME CRUNCH
> If you're going to do it, be smart.
The hard truth about time management is that sometimes something must go. Even on those hectic days, when time just isn't on your side, an effective workout is possible. Amber Long, assistant director of fitness for KU recreation services, says the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise can be broken into 10 minute increments and still be beneficial. Circuit training, where a routine of resistance training exercises and high-intensity aerobics are done with little rest between them, is an effective way to work out in a short period of time, Long says.
Lifestyle changes, like parking farther away and walking or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, raises your heart rate without adding time to your schedule. "Be aware of how to efficiently use your body and muscles during the day. When you sit in a chair, focus on using your muscles like you're doing a squat," Long says.
Lauren Nelson, a senior from Lawrence, tries to exercise for an hour twice a week al-

though she admits it doesn't always happen.
"Even if it's just for a half hour or twenty minutes, I figure it's better than nothing." Nelson says. She says it helps to write out a schedule for her workouts. "If I actually write it down in my planter like everything else, then it seems like an activity I can't skip," she says.

Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
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'm not 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 Tauran 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.

pact on this ball game" Gill said. "We're looking at their team and what they're doing in 2011 and we're looking at what we're doing here in 2011."
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
The numbers really appear 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 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.
