Family talk

Continuing Coverage
kansan reporter nancy Wolens is reporting on the debate teams progress from California. the championship round is today.

BERKELEY, Calif., The pairings are announced and the squad has 45 minutes to get everything set for a pivotal round of debate against Liberty University. Dylan Quigley and Sean Kennedy dont let the nerves get the best of them but they are increasingly aware that they need one more win in order to head to the elimination round, and thus be eligible to compete for the national championship. Quigley, a senior from Wichita, paces around the room rubbing his dark beard in sheer focus while organizing the cards he and Kennedy, a senior from Leawood, will be reading from during their debate. Its not just them though they have their unwavering coaches by their side helping them with some last-minute objectives. The coaches are in it as much as the debaters. This debate team is truly a family, with one head coach, nine graduate student coaches and four alumni, all there to

support the six debaters. Though serious about its objective, this team knows how to keep the mood light. On the way to day three of the National Debate Tournament, a day in which the results could prevent a second KU team from qualifying for the elimination round, the mood is buoyant. The witty remarks, laughter and anecdotes from team members and coaches alike help ease everyones nerves on the trip to the debate site. The team doesnt allow the gravity and

A question of race relations

Panelists discuss cultural differences, other questionable topics
BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com Racial dialogue was the topic last night at Ellsworth Hall where nearly 80 students of different backgrounds showed up for the Ask a Black Person a Question panel. The event, inspired by a Dave Chappelle skit and a similar event held by Queers and Allies, called Ask A Queer A Question, sought to provide an open dialogue about race relations and black culture in general. A panel of six African Americans, either on campus or somehow connected to the campus, answered questions posed by audience members. The purpose of the program is to bring about a better understanding of cultural differences, said James McIntosh, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and coorganizer of the program. I think thats something that kind of goes under the radar here at KU. McIntosh said the program is meant for students of other cultural backgrounds to ask questions about black people as a means of creating an interracial dialogue in a safe and open-minded environment. He said there are not a lot of minorities who are able to be role models on campus and that the few individuals portraying certain characteristics are associated with the entire race. He said the program was meant to tear down some of those stereotypes and misconceptions. Cody Charles, complex director of Lewis and Templin residence halls, said while the program is designed for other cultures to ask questions about black people, it was also beneficial for black students to create discussion amongst themselves and be a part of how they are represented on campus. The program, now in its third year, encourages tough questions. Panelists understand some questions may be touchy or stereotypical, but they attempt to answer everything and eliminate some of the misconceptions of black people. When asked if he thought it was appropriate to use the N word, Dr. Marvin McIntosh, James McIntoshs father and a physician in the Kansas City area, said it was a word that should never be used by anyone. The N word has a particular connotation and it will always have that no matter how you use it, Dr. McIntosh said. Opinions varied, however, with some panelists thinking it was acceptable to use the word in some circumstances and others thinking the word has come to hold a different meaning. Dr. McIntosh said another question was the difference between what is accepted and what is tolerated on campus. He said he thought other cultures are simply tolerated.

A lot of the time I may be the only black person in a class and I have to represent my whole race in the classroom, Brown said.

Project SAFER is a movement on college campuses across the nation to enact rules that make alcohol and marijuana penalties equal in college housing. If we can pass the Project SAFER referendum at KU, people in Kansas will take notice. The larger amount of supporters we can get can help in influencing actual state legislation to ease cannabis laws, Deacon said. Deacon is trying to reach out to the student body for their support and involvement. You dont have to smoke to support expanding peoples rights and safe access to a safer drug. People who want to be involved politically in their community should join. It is a unique issue in the U.S. because both people on the left and the right support its legalization, Deacon said.

Kelly Winfrey, a graduate student from Cheyenne, Wyo., and Lindsey Shook, a graduate student from Tulsa, Okla., sit in deep concentration in front of their laptops attempting to track down more evidence to further their argument. Mick Souders, a graduate student from Anacortes, Wash., chats with Quigley about the arguments; doing so ensures there wont be any holes in their defense. The opposing team walks in.

Head coach Harris is in the zone. Hes preoccupied with all kinds of affirmatives, resolutions and counter plans. His focus is 100 percent on his teams. And 100 percent on winning. Harris writes arguments for this tournament all year, researching things for the debates that no one knows about until the moment theyre needed.

Team members revel in having him as head coach. The joy he gets from fighting an argument or from the process of what we do is really cool and its really infectious, Shook said. In that way its a lot of fun working with him because you cant help but love debate when youre around him. What team members cant get over is his habit of pulling allnighters throughout the five-day tournament. The word is eating chocolate and sipping milk help him stay awake. He is an aberration, Shook said.

If you asked any random person thats around here they would say that Scotts ability to stay up all night is almost unsurpassed. His dexterity will continue today, the last day of the tournament, where rounds of octofinals will finally be held. This is the day the nations top debate teams will go head to head in the supreme psychological battle of the year. This is when the real competition for the national crown starts.

of his death has been met with great sadness, and our thoughts are with his wife and daughter.

Even without the chancellor, the event brought plenty of curious people and numerous questions I think its something different, McIntosh said. And Smith added, Especially when a lot of people think there are no blacks on this campus. Smith said that through her experience as a Residence Hall Assisstant, she has heard many different points of view from the many freshmen she sees each year. Thomas Hiatt, a sophomore from Shawnee, said he thought it was interesting to hear what all the panelists had to say about certain issues. I think there are a lot of misconceptions and this is a diverse university, but it is still predominately white and you dont deal with as many people of color on a daily basis, Hiatt said. Hiatt said he came away from the event with some different perspectives and ways to think about the topic of race in general. Edited by Anna Archibald

Songwriters death marks start of annual conference

McclAtchy-tribune
AUSTIN, Texas The 24th annual South by Southwest Music Conference began somberly Wednesday as word spread throughout this gathering of 13,000 artists and industry professionals that the iconoclastic singer-songwriter Alex Chilton had died. But in the early morning hours Sunday, South by Southwest came roaring to a celebratory close with some of Chiltons closest friends singing and performing one of his greatest songs. September Gurls, a classic song from Chiltons days leading the Memphis band Big Star, rang out at Antones, one of this music citys most revered clubs. On vocals were Susan Cowsill, R.E.M.s Mike Mills and the Watson Twins. Jon Auer was on guitar, joined by Andy Hummell, one of the founding members of Big Star who had not played publicly in decades. Ken Stringfellow played bass, anchoring the rhythm section with Big Star co-founder Jody Stephens, who smiled wanly as he attacked the drums.

Akon concert draws protesters in Sri Lanka

AssociAted Press
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Protesters outraged at an upcoming concert by R&B singer Akon hurled stones at a Sri Lankan private broadcasters headquarters Monday, injuring four workers and damaging the building. Police spokesman Prishantha Jayakody said several protesters against the Akon concert were taken into custody after throwing rocks at the headquarters of the Majaraja Organization, the broadcaster sponsoring the concert scheduled for April in Colombo. About 200 people suddenly gathered outside the office in the capital Colombo and threw stones at the building, said Shevan Daniel, an employee of Maharaja Organization. Four workers suffered injuries that were not serious, he said. The stones shattered some of the offices windows and damaged several vehicles parked outside the building. Placards left at the scene read, Stop Akons show. Some Sri Lankans accuse Akon of desecrating an image of Buddha in a music video.

Food Revolution challenges fattest town in America

McclAtchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES In the film We Are Marshall, the town of Huntington, W.Va., reels, then regroups after most of Marshall Universitys football team is killed in a plane crash. Forty years later, Huntington is at the center of yet another potential turnaround tale. Only this time, rather than a phoenix emerging from the ashes, the image is more of a grilled chicken breast rising from a landfill of deep fryers. In Jamie Olivers Food Revolution, the British food guru known for a while as The Naked Chef because of his penchant for simple food, comes to Huntington in the hopes of transforming the unhealthiest town i.e. the fattest town in America. After overhauling the menus for the British school system, and with half a dozen TV shows to his credit, Oliver seems just the man for the job. Many of the people Oliver meets in the first episode are, of course, skeptical, bordering on hostile. This being TV, its difficult to know how much of the tension is scripted obviously Huntington invited Oliver and his experiment but that doesnt mean the issues Oliver is dealing with arent real. The schools are just the first step in Olivers revolution. He also plans to teach the community how to prepare healthful meals that dont cost the earth. As a first step, he takes over the kitchen of the Edwards family, cooking the food they had eaten the previous week _ a table-buckling assortment of fried, refried and heated junk that stands before the mother in greasy accusation. This food will kill your kids, he tells Staci as her eyes fill with tears.

budget freeze raises issues G

ov. Mark Parkinson promised to not cut any more funding to higher education next year, but because state revenue is hundreds of millions of dollars short of meeting that budget, students could potentially see a substantial rise in tuition. Affordable higher education is incredibly important for the state and its citizens, especially in this economy. Parkinson should do his absolute best to keep his promise. Facing the Statehouse Education Budget Committee on February 15, Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle gave a commendable testimony, bringing to light the critical importance of higher education if Kansas is to come out of the recession as a prosperous state. Parkinson backed this testimony when he stressed the importance of building great universities in Kansas and that it would result in the development of economic success. But if the state lacks $400 million in funding for education across the board, it needs to find a new way to replace that funding. Its likely there could be a significant rise in tuition because of this budget freeze. An increase that could hurt the reputation of the University. Not including fees, tuition is $3,670.50 per semester for undergraduate residents and $9,663.76 for undergraduate nonresidents enrolled in fifteen credit hours, according to the Universitys website. These rates attract students from states such as Illinois and Colorado, where in-state tuition rates are close to or more than the amount of the Universitys out-of-state tuition. The University is known nationwide for providing a quality education at an affordable price. The University can tout highly competitive tuition rates, successful sports programs and outstanding curriculum and research, all of which serve to attract strong students. Parkinson has said that his career was made possible because he didnt have to be rich to have the opportunity to attend a great university in the state of Kansas.

Recognize holiday
arch 8 marked the 99th annual International Womens Day, which is a day not just for women to celebrate themselves, but an opportunity for all of society to learn and grow together. This years celebration brought advances in the entertainment industry as Kathyrn Bigelow became the first female director to win an Oscar for her movie The Hurt Locker. Several countries, including China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Vietnam, make International Womens Day a national holiday. But the U.S. is yet to make the leap. The U.S. does mark March as Womens History Month. Still, most people I talked to hadnt heard of International Womens Day. In fact, until this year, I hadnt even heard of International Womens Day. The day is a noble cause, but is highly under-marketed. Many people in our generation operate under the false assumption that the fight to gain womens rights is a done deal. Im a big supporter of other civil rights movements, such as equality for minorities and alternative sexual orientations. But sometimes its easy to focus on the next big movement and forget about less in-your-face injustices. Although womens rights have come a long way, we still havent reached full equality when it comes to things such as employment and paygrades. The University can do its part by promoting the centennial International Womens Day next year. But, aside from that, the University already does a good job of marketing when it comes to the women on campus. The University has been celebrating female faculty, staff, alumni and students with the Women of Distinction calendar since 2004. The Womens Recognition Program has been in place since 2001 and the Womens Hall of Fame dates back to the 1970s. All of these programs and the Men of Merit Award, not to

Nothing in life is guaranteed, even if it should be. n n n

With or without additional budget cuts, future students will most likely still have to take some of the burden that already faces administrations at universities and professional schools across the state. But, the rise in costs shouldnt deter people from pursuing a degree: degrees are proven to be financially beneficial in the long run. Many career fields requiring college degrees are in high demand, as Gray-Little pointed out. These careers, which include nursing and engineering, are essential to state growth through technology development and medical care. Despite the lack of necessary funds, Parkinson should take every action to avoid additional budget cuts. This will show his support to higher education and a more advanced state. The economy has put strain on finances, but more cuts to higher education is not the solution.

The fact that our University even has such a thing as the Resource Center, not to mention all of its programs, sets us apart when it comes to acknowledging female achievement. Add in the various womens studies classes and literature classes focused on female authors outside the traditional white male cannon, and the University has a lot to offer in the way of womens history throughout the year. As far as Womens History Month goes, the University has plenty of events planned, including guest speakers, documentary viewings, happy vagina crafts and a showing of the Vagina Monologues. These events are a wonderful way for women to celebrate their femininity, but the issue has never really been women failing to acknowledge themselves. I urge male students and faculty to attend as many of this months events as possible. After this month, branch out and take some womens studies classes. Its important for this time to be about women, but it shouldnt be exclusive to women. Just as its important for women to learn about all the important male figures in our history and to try to understand male culture, its important for men to return the sentiment. If the men on campus really show some interest now, maybe the International Womens Day centennial can bring a huge celebration by both genders.

Healthcare: From the perspective of a Libertarian
It isnt only that Americans will now be forced to possess insurance; it isnt merely that the government is coercing us to buy something we may or may not want to have, and it isnt simply that rich bureaucrats are robbing the well-off to give to the richer. Im not just upset that drug companies will now have more power than ever before, that the government is finishing its coup of confiscating the medical market away from private citizens; that Americans have been duped to believe that this bill would actually stop the special interests instead of strengthening them is frustrating. We now live in a basically socialist country has long since numbed my mind to the feeling that the government is too controlling; that we Americans have become clients of political demagogues who promise us the benefits they glean from other peoples money distresses me to no end. There is something so much greater, so much more shocking, more tyrannical and more inhumane than all these things. Because there may well be hypocrisy in promising healthcare for all by forcing people to attain it in the way that you prescribe; there could be some audacious ignorance in wearing laurels for bringing healthcare to everyone while destroying what remains of the free market, that very foundation upon which good healthcare has been built. But even these marvels cannot begin to describe my horror that we are being compelled by the government to pay money that will aid women to abort their unborn children. I am ashamed of my country. My heart is at half-mast and my mind is broken as to how I could be proud to be an American, where I dont even know that I am free to live and let live.

he year is still young, but 2010 is already feeling a lot like 2006. Four years ago, Democrats reclaimed control of Congress by promising to drain the swamp. Scandals surrounding top Republicans in Congress and GOP lobbyists fostered the perception that Republicans were presiding over a culture of corruption. The narrative worked: Voters were more likely to cite corruption than the deteriorating situation in Iraq as their prime motive for booting incumbents. Were Democrats engaged in nothing more than a cynical exploitation of Republican malfeasance? Not entirely. To be sure, there were political points to be scored in denouncing the Tom DeLays and Jack Abramoffs. But, once in power, Democrats did pass important ethics reforms. Among other things, they established an independent ethics watchdog agency, improved transparency on campaign fundraising, and made a few half-hearted attempts to rein in lobbyist-lawmaker ties. None of this has prevented a recent onslaught of Democratic scandals. New York Rep. Charles Rangel, embroiled in investigations into his personal taxes and corporate-sponsored trips, gave up his post as chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. (Fun fact: Rangel, who underreported his income by as much as $1.3 million, was, until his resignation, in charge of the Houses tax-writing panel.) Rangel stepped down amid increasing calls for accountability from within his own party. But this came only after two years of ethics allegations and investigative reporting by the New York Times. Many prominent Democrats had defended Rangel as an American patriot of the first order. He had, after all, served heroically in

Korea. Case closed. Note the contrast between the Rangel case and that of another disgraced New York politician, Gov. David A. Paterson. Even before revelations of his revolting witness tampering in a domestic abuse case, Paterson had lost the support of virtually the entire Democratic establishment. The White House had urged him as early as last year not to seek election. Once the latest bombshell was dropped, it was only a matter of time before leading party figures called for the governor to resign. Did the Democrats find religion, learning from the Rangel brouhaha the perils of stubbornly defending an unsavory character? Not quite. You dont need to be a full-blown cynic to understand why mem-

bers of his own party abandoned Paterson so early. His poll numbers had been in the tank for more than a year. Politically, there was nothing to gain from standing by the governor. His presence on the ballot in the unlikely event he would even have won his partys nomination would have dragged down other Democrats. Its a lot easier to act high-minded when it ultimately serves ones self-interest. For the party in power, it may all be too late. Mixing an already unfavorable political climate with scandals like those plaguing Rangel, Paterson, and former Rep. Eric Massa is not exactly a formula for retaining a strong majority. If the Democratic Party wants to maintain its grip on power, it must heed the lessons of Rangels ethical lapses. A party worthy of public support must demonstrate loyalty to principles, not powerful personalities. Luke Brinker is a freshman from Topeka history and political science.

Kansas, Missouri faults in no danger of quakes

BY sAMANtHA Foster
sfoster@kansan.com With two high magnitude earthquakes in the news already this year, its hard not to wonder whether earthquakes are increasing in frequency and intensity. But that doesnt mean students are worried about any immediate threats in Kansas. It would be bad if it did, but I dont think itll happen, said Nick Mott, a junior from Overland Park. Although media coverage of quakes has been substantial, the number of earthquakes so far this year isnt abnormal. About 18 earthquakes of a magnitude 7 or higher occur around the world each year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Four have occurred so far this year, including the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti and Feb. 27 earthquake in Chile. These quakes have generated a lot of news coverage and an outpouring of relief aid to Haiti, but they arent cause for increased worry about earthquakes in general. Don Steeples, senior vice provost and McGee distinguished professor of geophysics, said the earthquake in Haiti wasnt unusual because it was a magnitude 7. He said the infrastructure minimized the unusual thing about it was the num- amount of damage caused by the ber of people who were killed. quake.

Weak infrastructure in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, resulted in the collapse of the city. The magnitude 7 earthquake killed 230,000 people. Poor construction of buildings was a main factor in the death toll. However, if a quake were to happen at the fault in New Madrid, Mo., or Manhattan, Lawrence would barely feel the effects. Don Steeples, professor of geophysics, said a few chimneys might fall from a roof or dishes from a shelf, but there wouldnt be any casualties. the New Madrid fault in southeastern Missouri. In 1811 and 1812 there was a violent series of quakes along the fault that the U.S. Geological Surveys website, www. usgs.gov, said were the largest in U.S. history. He said the fault has a shift range of about 400 years, so there wont be another New Madrid quake for about 200 years. Steeples said researchers knew the damage pattern from the 1811 and 1812 quakes east of the fault line to the Mississippi River, so they could assume symmetry to predict what the quake would feel like in Kansas City or Lawrence. He said there was no need to lose sleep over it. It might topple a few chimneys, knock dishes off and scare everybody, but in terms of large-scale casualties not going to happen, Steeples said. Steeples said the closest active fault to Lawrence is in the Manhattan and Wamego area. The last quake along this fault was a magnitude 5.1 quake in 1867, and Steeples said the shaking in Lawrence and Kansas City was similar to what would happen in a New Madrid-type quake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is retrofitting the Tuttle Creek dam near Manhattan to make it earthquake resistant in response to concerns about the fault. Becky Coonrod, a freshman from Manhattan, said she didnt know much about the fault line near Manhattan although she had heard about the dams retrofitting project. Its not something that I think about, so Im not too worried about it, Coonrod said. Edited by Kristen Liszewski

Brothers in arms

What's next for Henry and Aldrich?

By max vosBurgh
ts time to turn the page on the mens basketball season. The next chapter for the Jayhawks comes when freshman Xavier Henry and junior Cole Aldrich announce their plans for next year. It is highly anticipated that both players will forgo the rest of their college eligibility and enter the 2010 NBA draft. Whether they both leave or not, it really doesnt matter. As we learned this year, returning two of your top players does not guarantee you anything. What Kansas faces this year is somewhat similar to what it faced last year. On April 13, 2009, both Sherron Collins and Aldrich revealed their intentions to return to school and go for another ring as Aldrich put it during the announcement. Last year, we all begged Collins and Aldrich to come back. We knew that if they did, we would have an incredibly talented team and a realistic chance to win a national championship. However, this year few people are begging as much. Maybe it is because it has been understood all year that both would go pro after the season. Aldrich was projected as a top 14 pick in the NBA Draft last year and he is again this year. He has little to gain by returning for his senior season. It is unlikely that he will increase his draft value anymore with another year in college. Staying would only delay the enjoyment of the millions of dollars he will likely earn in the NBA. Many people didnt even expect Aldrich to come back for this season. When he did, he put another year at Kansas above helping his family financially. To ask him to do that again would just be selfish. On the other hand, Henry was recruited as a player with the understanding that he would likely play one year at Kansas and then leave for the NBA. Unlike Aldrich, another year in college for Henry could help his draft value. Henry was forced to take a back seat to Collins as the leader and go-to guy on the team this year. That wont be the case next year. If Henry were to come back and take over the general spot for a likely top 25-ranked team, he could really help himself out. Both of these players have a lot invested in Kansas basketball. Coming back could mean they would be part of the hungriest team in college basketball. Kansas would obviously be better with them and people would be excited to see them back next year. Nonetheless, as this season demonstrated, not everything in college basketball, or the NBA draft for that matter, always goes to plan. Edited by Kristen Liszewski

Managers can fool with the batting order or change the pregame batting practice. In coach Ritch Prices case, he can just write the Big 12 Triple Crown winner back in on the lineup card.

He worked out indoors yesterday Thompson in practice, and though he still has some trouble running, he sees his time on the disabled list ending quickly. It will be great to get out there and see Tony play again, Price said. Hes one of our leaders and while we had guys playing well in the lineup, we could really use his bat right now. In Thompsons absence, the main hitter for the Jayhawks has been Jimmy Waters, with a .362 batting average. In addition to the high average, Waters also has a team high 20 RBI. Thompson lead the team in homers last season, but since his injury, Waters has also taken that mantle. Jimmy has been huge for us this season, Thompson said. During the teams five-game winning streak a few weeks ago, the offense only scored in single digits once. This latest four-game slide has seen the Jayhawks only reach a team high of eight runs, which was in a 12-8 loss to Saint Louis Saturday. The team has played well offensively for the first part of the season without their leading hitter Tony Thompson. With the Jayhawks beginning to struggle, the arrival of Thompson seems to be the tonic

twitter.com/c_thibodeaux Brett Ballard, Kansas director of basketball operations, is now the head coach of Baker University. Baker President and Interim Athletic Director Patricia Long will introduce Ballard at a Baker press conference at 1 p.m. today, according to a press release Monday. Ballard graduated from Kansas in 2003 and played for the Jayhawks during the

2000-2002 seasons. He acted as the backup point guard and earned Academic All-Big 12 during his senior year, when he also went to the Final Four. He has spent seven years on the Kansas basketball staff, serving as a student assistant, administrative assistant/video coordinator and now directing basketball operations such as overseeing academic progress and basketball camps.

Ballards departure is a win

aldwin City. For somewhere so close, Ive had to explain its whereabouts frequently. Usually, the answering of the innocent enough Where are you from? question begins with me saying Baldwin City is about 20 miles due south. When that elicits blank stares, and further geographical explanations do nothing to help, I end describing it simply as the town with Baker University and the Maple Leaf Festival. The latter, unless you really and I mean really like giant turkey legs and homey, little crafts booths, may not be of any interest to you. And the former wouldnt be either, except for one recent bit of news: Kansas Director of Basketball Operations Brett Ballard has filled Bakers head basketball coaching position, vacated by the retirement of 25-year-coach Rick Weaver. You could be forgiven for losing this tidbit in the cacophony surrounding Kansas early exit from the NCAA Tournament. Cole and Xavier are almost assuredly gone. Sherron definitely is. Thus the team, which was supposed to be one of the greatest in Kansas illustrious history, has disintegrated. But Ballard landing at Baker small news from a small town or not is a feelgood story which shouldnt be drowned out by more what ifs.

THURSDAY By alex Beecher

abeecher@kansan.com For Ballard, the Baker gig represents his first chance to run a program. And yes, it may be an NAIA program in Baldwin City, but the increase in responsibility gives him a chance to get his feet wet as a coach on a stage that provides little in the way of pressure. Furthermore, learning to function with decidedly sub-Kansas resources can only help Ballard. If he moves into the ranks of NCAA coaches one day, Ballard will bring with him lessons taught by experiences he never would have received at Kansas. For Baker, the benefits are obvious and numerous. Ballard played under Roy Williams and worked for Bill Self. Hes privileged to have seen, first hand, how two NCAA championship-winning coaches run top-tier programs. Having played and worked at Kansas also gives Ballard a certain cache that few other NAIA coaches can claim. Not that Baker womens basketball at Illinois state, 7:15 p.m.

FRIDAY
will ever land Rivals top-100 players, but neither will its competition. And Ballards high profile background can only help. Add in the fact that Ballard has connections throughout the Midwest from running Kansas basketball camp, and Bakers talent level should be expected to rise. That rise in talent, in theory, should also lead to an increase in wins. Consequently, winning games should give Ballard the credibility he needs to take whatever the next step is in his career. The situation, at least at this point, looks like a win-win. And a winning situation, for Kansas fans, should feel awfully therapeutic right about now.

Michigan State tournament run is in jeopardy after Lucas injury
AssociAted Press
DETROIT Kalin Lucas Achilles tendon injury has ended his season and possibly Michigan States Final Four chances, but coach Tom Izzo said Monday afternoon that indications from the junior point guards MRI exam are that the injury isnt as career-devastating as it could have been. Doctors said its up a little higher (on the Achilles) and not at the bottom, which some say is better for his long-term future and recovery, Izzo told the Shep and Sharp show on local WDFN-AM. The MRI exam conducted Monday confirmed that Lucas ruptured the Achilles tendon in his left foot. Recovery time is expected to be 4-6 months. them I had theirs.

Giants defeat Rangers 5-4

AssociAted Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Barry Zito pitched into the seventh inning but was charged with four runs and 10 hits in the San Francisco Giants 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Monday. Vladimir Guerrero, who signed a free-agent deal with the Rangers in the offseason, had two hits and two RBIs against Zito, who struck out four and walked none in 6 1-3 innings. Kevin Frandsen hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth to give the Giants the win. C.J. Wilson, getting an opportunity to join the Texas rotation after working as a reliever, pitched five innings. He gave up three runs and four hits. (Pitching coach) Mike (Maddux) made a speech the other day, saying that you can have a rough first inning, get a lot of bad bounces, but what matters is how you finish, said the 29-year-old Wilson, who was 5-6 with a 2.81 ERA and 14 saves in 74 games last season. My delivery was pretty good, my change up was pretty good and my cutter was working. Im proud of my change up and how far its come. Its keeping guys off-balance. Wilson said his progress in the remaining two weeks for the spring will be gauged on going out there and getting extended (more innings). He understands the difficult decisions facing team officials about where to put certain pitchers. Its like riding a teeter-totter, Wilson said. You need a good bullpen, but you need good starting pitching. Im just going to do the best I can to produce a lot of innings if I am a starter, or put up a lot of zeros as a reliever. San Francisco infielder Juan Uribe left after two innings with a tight right hamstring. He hit a two-run double in the first inning. He is listed day to day. Also, catcher Matt Treanor has been traded from the Brewers to the Rangers for infielder Ray Olmedo.

Tennessee routs Dayton

Lady Vols make 28th Sweet Sixteen appearance
associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. After a rare early loss in the NCAAs last year, its back to business as usual for Tennessee. Alicia Manning scored a career-high 17 points and had 10 rebounds to help No. 1-seeded Lady Vols beat eighth-seeded Dayton 92-64 in the second round of the tournament on Monday night. Tennessee (32-2) will make its 28th appearance in the regional semifinals Saturday, this time playing 350 miles from home in Memphis. The Lady Vols lone absence from the round of 16 in the tournaments 29-year history came after last seasons loss to 71-55 to Ball State in the opening round. Dayton (25-8), which managed to rally from an 18-point deficit in its 67-66 win over TCU in the first round, was tasked with playing only its second NCAA tournament game in front of about 10,000 orange-clad fans on the court named for Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. A three-point play by Shekinna Stricklen launched a 17-2 scoring run for Tennessee. The Lady Vols had their way under their own basket, hitting wide-open shots from the perimeter and slashing the lane to take easy layups. Manning cut through the paint to hit a layup that gave Tennessee a 19-4 run with 13:31 left in the first half. Taber Spani, who was 4 for 4 in the first half, sank a smooth 3 from the sideline to push Tennessees lead to 23 points, and the Lady Vols entered halftime with a 50-30 lead. At the break, Tennessee led in every category except rebounds something Summitt emphasized in the first round game. The two teams each had 20 at halftime. But the Lady Vols didnt need the boards as they took care of the ball on offense and scored 13 off seven Dayton turnovers in the first half. Tennessee scored the first 10 points of the second half, and Manning reached her career high on a fast-break layup that put the Lady Vols ahead 73-44 with 12:11 left. She also had a career-high seven assists. Justine Raterman led the Flyers with 17 points. The Lady Vols hit 53.9 percent of their shots as their lead ballooned to 34 points off a layup by Glory Johnson with 14:59 left. The Flyers hit 41.5 of their shots.

Freshman forward Carolyn Davis is fouled as she attempts a shot. Behind Davis team-high 25 points, Kansas defeated Creighton 71-68 in the second round of the WNIT on Sunday.

CLEARWATER, Fla. Wilson Valdez homered off Phil Hughes with two outs in the ninth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Yankees 9-7 Monday. Starters Cole Hamels of the Phillies and A.J. Burnett of the Yankees combined to allow 11 runs and 16 hits in eight innings. Mark Teixeira went 4-for-4 with a home run and double for the Yankees. Dane Sardinha homered, doubled and drove in four runs for the Phillies. Sardinha, Valdez and Ben Francisco homered off Hughes. He was up, manager Charlie Manuel said of Hamels, who had been sharp this spring. He threw a lot of fastballs and when you get stretched out, you go through that period in spring training. He was up in the strike zone, with his off-speed stuff, too. Hamels, who entered the day with a 1.69 ERA in three spring starts, allowed seven runs (six earned) and nine hits in four innings. His spring ERA jumped to 4.91. Hamels said he was unconcerned with his stats since he was using the outing to work almost exclusively on fine-tuning his fastball. Now is the time I want to get the fastball going and hit my spots, said Hamels, who is scheduled to follow ace Roy Halladay in the teams rotation. I thought I was doing a pretty good job, but then in the fourth inning, I was cutting it off unintentionally and I definitely wasnt releasing the ball where I wanted to, and it wasnt going where I needed it to. A lot of the pitches missed over the heart of the plate. The two teams combined for 24 hits.
