If there's a spill across the keyboard, you should shut down the power immediately so that the liquid can't short-out the top-case (where the keyboard is) and power button. If possible, you should remove the battery, says Tony Krug, technology specialist for The Tech Shop inside the Kansas Union."Water, or any type of liquid, can start to corrode the logic board and cause shorts," Krug says. "You'll also want to rest your computer upside down on a towel so as much liquid as possible can drain away from the insides."

Ali Lanners, a senior from Eagan, Minn., had an oil diffuser spill on her computer, "It was a mess, I tried to wipe it off as best as I could, but it had already damaged the outside of my computer," she says. "It still worked for the most part, but I ended up getting a new one."
> In case of an emergency, read quickly.
It's been drilled into our brains since kindergarten: don't keep liquids near your computer. When an accident happens, what can you do to save your computer? Taking action quickly is your best bet when it comes to spills.
A clean-up don't; putting your computer into uncooked rice to try and absorb the liquid, an old wives tale that doesn't always work.
"The rice will absorb the water, but often makes more of a mess and takes more time to get out of ports and vents than the repair itself would have," Krug says.
The best thing to do is to disconnect the power and take it to a licensed repair shop. With spill repairs ranging between $300-800, it's a good idea to think twice about where you set your drink.

Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.
My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.

vantage doesn't help volleyball coach Ray Bechard when it comes to his team's set of twins.
Sophomore Amy Wehrs said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.
"The challenge for me at first was just telling them apart." Bechard said.
"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business. Let's get stuff done' person. I'm just always happy."
Kara, a setter, is a starter who sees more playing time than her sister, who is one of
on the court.
"She's extremely capable," Bechard said. "She's a high-level pass and serve. Right now in the system we've got going on, her role hasn't been extensive as far as playing time goes, but I know if she is called upon she will be ready to go."
In last Saturday's first game against Valparaiso, Kara helped the team overcome its third five-set contest of the season with a double-double of 52 assists and 13 digs. She said she can only have a standout performance if her hitters are play-

Despite the differences in position, playing time and personality, the twins are always there for each other when the going gets tough.
But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them.
"We didn't care if we went to different schools," Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that we went to the same school."
"Whenever we're having a bad day, we're there for each other," Amy said. "Whenever we're having a good day, we're there to congratulate each other."
Kara said she knows her sister can play great volleyball when called upon.
"Anyone who comes off the bench like Amy did is going to have great success
and always in a good mood, and Kara is a little more intense". Riley said. "That is definitely how you can separate them on the volleyball court."

After the members of the Oklahoma Board of Regents authorized University of Oklahoma President David Boren complete control of the Sooners' conference affiliation, Boren specifically mentioned the Pac-12 as a possible destination for the school. However, Oklahoma's sights now seem to be solely on improving the Big 12.
Boren said in a statement issued Tuesday night that even though Oklahoma didn't apply for membership to the Pac-12 this year, Oklahoma's leaders have developed a positive rela-
