The story of chickens is turning
out to be a drama.
Amber Hansen, the current art-
ist in residence at the University,
received a grant to produce The
Story of Chickens: A Revolution.
The project consists of five chickens
being kept in a coop placed in high
foot traffic areas downtown.
After a month, the chickens will
be butchered and then served as part
of a potluck dinner the next day. The
public is invited to watch.
When asked to discuss her project,
Hansen said to refer to her blog and
would not comment any further.
Hansen wrote on her blog that she
wants people to realize the chickens
are beautiful and unique animals and
bring attention to the importance of
co-existing with food. Passing by the
chickens everyday will force people
to confront the part of the food
manufacturing process that they
normally dont have to think about.
Community members voiced
concerns about the treatment of
the chickens. Hansens blog and the
Spencer Museum of Arts Facebook
page received hundreds of comments
denouncing the project, although
some have been supportive.
Farm Sanctuary, a company that
rescues and advocates for farm ani-
mals, sent Hansen a letter suggesting
changes that could be made to her
project to make it more humane.
Bruce Friedrich, the direc-
tor for strategic initiatives at Farm
Sanctuary, said local animal rights
activists told them about the project
and requested they contact Hansen.
It was a bit shocking to read that
she was going to parade them around
Lawrence, and slice their throats
open and then feed their corpses to
the public, Friedrich said.
While he supports Hansens desire
to challenge people to think about
how meat is made, Frederich said
killing the animal undermines the
importance.
The conclusion should be that for
the same reason we dont eat cats or
dogs, we shouldnt eat chickens, pigs
or any animals, he said. Theres no
moral or ethical difference between
eating a chicken and a cat or a dog.
Cassandra Smyers, a senior student
from Olathe, and co-president of the
student organization Compassion
for All Animals, said the organi-
zation wrote Hansen letters about
their concerns, but never heard back.
While she hopes the Hansen doesnt
finish the project, she might still
want to go visit the coop.
I think our members would want
to go and educate people about alter-
natives, Smyers said. This is already
an alternative to factory farming, the
current status, and her alternative
would be local farming. Our alterna-
tive would be vegetarianism.
Other students are less worried
about The Story of Chickens and
what message it is trying to convey.
Payden van Matre, a junior from
Overland Park, said he was unsure of
the message the artist was trying to
convey but thought the project raised
an interesting point about peoples
views of livestock by forcing them to
think more about their food.
Im not sure about the gratuitous
violence, but Im well aware that
things die, Matre said. But the proj-
ect sounds like more of an idea than
anything.

An Israeli military fighting tech-
nique, Krav Maga, is giving stu-
dents an easy and realistic way to
learn self-defense. Classes to learn
the technique are for both men and
women and free to students at the
Ambler Student Fitness Recreation
Center.
Civilians are using the mili-
tary technique more because it is
designed to evoke a natural response
to defend yourself in stressful situa-
tions and will help users recognize
when a situation is potentially dan-
gerous.
Students taking the course will
learn basic footwork, hits, kicks and
holds. The course is not compre-
hensive so regular attendance is not
necessary to learn the technique.
Last week we learned how
to deflect a knife attack, Britten
Kuckelman said, a senior from
Wichita who is attending the class-
es. Its really cool because they train
you to work with your instinct,
which makes you feel like there isnt
a lot to remember.
The classes are offered in two
different forms at the rec center: on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30
p.m. to 5:30 p.m. until April 26 for
students only, in which no registra-
tion is required. It is also offered
in a Saturday workshop April 14
from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to students,
faculty and staff for free, and to
community members for $10, in
which participants need to register
at etwrc@ku.edu.
Student Senate, the Campus
Safety Advisory Board, KU
Recreational Services and the Emily
Taylor Womens Resource Center
(ETWRC), sponsor the courses.
Its the second year the courses
have been taught in this format,
Kathy Rose-Mockry the ETWRC
Director said. We taught them
last year using a different name,
and we will continue to offer the
courses in this format for next fall
and spring.
Susan Booth, an instructor for
the course and owner of Premier
Martial Arts School in Lawrence,
said learning Krav Maga will not
only help students defend them-
selves from an attack, but prevent
one from occurring altogether.
By learning how to defend
yourself you are also building
confidence, Booth said. You can
portray that confidence in your
everyday life and not become a
victim at all.
Kuckelman said for her, its not
only about self-defense but exercise
as well.
Ive been trying to work out
more this semester than normal,
and Ive always wanted to take a
self-defense class, Kuckelman said.
Once I looked at YouTube videos I
knew I wanted to take it, and I want
to keep learning it.

Do Life. That was the message inspirational
speaker Ben Davis had for KU students in Woodruff
Auditorium Tuesday evening. Davis told the story
of his battle with obesity and depression during his
college years through developing a passion for run-
ning. Davis lost 120 pounds of his original 365 and
now participates in Ironman competitions.
This isnt about me, Davis said. This is about
life. Not just enjoying, but spreading it.
Having been overweight for most of his life,
Davis decided in late 2008 to get in
shape with the help of his brother.
Not long after the creation of
his blog, Davis father joined
his training.
Starting with a 5K,
Davis and his family
eventually pursued an
Ironman triathlon.
A marathon con-
sists of running
26.2 miles. An
Ironman triath-
lon is composed
of swimming for
2.4 miles, biking
for 112 miles, and
running a marathon
distance. The entire
competition usu-
ally takes 17 hours to
complete.
In the process,
Davis met others dealing with hardships includ-
ing drug addictions, eating disorders and social
phobias.
Weve met so many people changing their lives
through running, Davis said.
Davis found his fathers and brothers support
instrumental in his life change. Davis also found
setting short-term goals rather than lofty, abstract
ones to be effective in making progress.
Jordan Dauer, a junior from Lee Summit, Mo.,
attended the speech and, like Davis, finds fulfill-
ment in running. Dauer runs three miles almost
everyday.
Running always makes me happy, Dauer said.
Dauer also convinced her roommate, Courtney
Schmidt, a junior from Shawnee, to join her. Having
known her since freshman year, Schmidt finally
joined Dauer on her runs beginning this past fall
after reading the book, Born to Run.
Schmidt was inspired by Davis story and related
to how finding a passion and sticking to it helps a
person be happier. Although Schmidt previously
disliked running, she finds that running with her
roommate gives the helpful support Davis gained
from his father and brother.
If you have a passion, it makes life more fun to
live, Schmidt said.
Davis presentation was part of Celebrate
EveryBody Week, sponsored by KU Student Health
Services. The week continued with Campus Largest
Workout from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Ambler Student
Recreation Center on Wednesday. The week ends
this Thursday with special discounts at different
eating venues on campus.

Boulevard recalls
sought-after ale
Boulevard Brewing Company
is offering a refund for one of its
most anticipated seasonal brews.
The company said last week
in a press release that a post-
release quality check revealed
three batches of Chocolate Ale
contained favors and aromas
not intended by brewers.
Along with the press release,
Boulevards brewmaster Steven
Pauwels and founder and
president John McDonald posted
a short YouTube video to the
companys website. In the video,
McDonald apologized for the
unwanted favors.
Were a proud brewery and
want to do the right thing, he
said in the video.
The unwanted favors were
only found in 2011-1, 2011-2
and 2011-3 and did not extend
to other Chocolate Ale bottles,
Chocolate Ale draft beer or
other Boulevard beers. According
Boulevards press release, the
defective beer does not pose a
health threat.

WASHINGTON First birth
control, now prenatal testing?
Once again a fact of life for many
American women has become a
jarring issue in the presidential
race.
Republican candidate Rick
Santorum is making free screen-
ings for birth defects part of his
attack on President Barack Obamas
health care law. Santorum, who has
a young daughter with a serious
genetic disorder, said rules requir-
ing insurers to cover prenatal tests
are designed to encourage more
women to have abortions that will
cull the ranks of the disabled in
our society.
Obama re-election campaign
spokeswoman Lis Smith called
Santorums remarks misinformed
and dangerous. She said the tests
are for the health of mothers and
babies and help bring about safer
deliveries.
Federal health officials and
the nations obstetricians recom-
mend that all pregnant women
be offered blood tests and an
ultrasound exam that assess the
risk of having a baby with various
birth defects or genetic disorders,
including Down syndrome. If the
screening raises concern, a woman
may choose further testing, such
as amniocentesis.
Some women say they dont
want the tests because they know
they wouldnt abort their fetus no
matter what the results. Others
who wouldnt consider an abortion
still want the tests seeking reas-
surance that all is well or, if not,
the chance to adjust emotionally
and prepare for a disabled babys
more complicated care. Babies
with Down syndrome can need
specialized attention at delivery
that affects hospital selection.
Some women avoid amniocen-
tesis, which involves withdrawing
amniotic fluid through a needle,
because of the small chance it could
cause a miscarriage. There are less
invasive tests available, however,
and newer ones on the way.
As Santorum noted, studies
show that in the vast majority of
cases where amniocentesis reveals
Down syndrome, women decide
on abortion.
Advocates for the disabled,
including many parents of Down
syndrome children, worry that
couples are choosing abortion
without considering that their
child could lead a happy, fulfill-
ing life. About one in 800 babies
is born with Down syndrome,
a condition in which having an
extra chromosome causes mental
retardation, a characteristic broad,
flat face and, often, serious heart
defects.
The prenatal testing issues have
been debated by abortion foes and
obstetricians and wrestled with by
prospective parents.

Hungary fails to reduce defcit, EU witholds funding
Chavez to have lesion removed
bRUSSELS The European
Unions executive arm said Wednesday it
plans to withhold 495 million euro ($655
million) in EU development funds from
Hungary after the country failed to reduce
its defcit.
The proposal to withhold the funds is
the latest stage in a protracted dispute
over the countrys fnances and suspected
violation of civil rights. Before it can be
applied, it has to be endorsed by the EUs
other 26 member states.
It is the frst time the European
Commission has proposed to suspend
development funds from one of its
members over an excessive defcit. The so-
called cohesion funds, which are targeted
in the sanction, support transport and
environmental projects in the EUs poorer
regions.
The Commission has been pressuring
Hungary to cut its budget defcit, which
has been breaking the blocs limit of 3
percent of economic output ever since the
country joined the bloc in 2004 when one-
off measures are stripped out.
Despite several warnings, the govern-
ment in Budapest has so far failed to take
any more structural actions to reduce its
spending.
This decision today is to be regarded
as an incentive to correct a deviation, not
as a punishment, said Olli Rehn, the EUs
economic affairs commissioner.
Since the funds that the Commission
is threatening to withhold are for 2013,
Hungary has until January next year to
take action and avoid sanctions.
cARAcAS, Venezuela Pres-
ident Hugo Chavez has raised serious
doubts about whether hell have the
stamina for a successful re-election
bid, revealing that he needs to return
to Cuba to have a lesion removed that
is probably malignant.
Chavez was meeting with top aides
on Wednesday to plan for his absence
while expressions of support poured in
from his allies around the region. Ven-
ezuelas foreign ministry said Chavez
had received messages of concern
from Presidents Daniel Ortega of Ni-
caragua, Francisco Mujica of Uruguay,
Evo Morales of Bolivia and Cristina
Fernandez of Argentina.
Chavez told Venezuelans on Tues-
day that doctors in Cuba had over the
weekend found a two-centimeter le-
sion is in the same place where they
removed a cancerous tumor last year.
The socialist president, who hopes
to extend his 13 years in power with
another six-year term in the Oct. 7
elections, said he will likely need ra-
diation therapy.
That will most likely mean being
incapacitated in the coming weeks,
though Chavez did not mention who
might replace him during a temporary
absence.
Im not going to be able to continue
with the same rhythm, he told state
TV in a telephone call Tuesday night,
adding he would need to rethink my
personal agenda and take care of
myself, confront what must be con-
fronted.
KAbUL, Afghanistan Afghan
President Hamid Karzai appealed for
calm Wednesday after clashes in several
cities between Afghan security forces and
protesters furious over the burning of
Muslim holy books at a U.S. military base
left seven people dead.
The Afghan Interior Ministry said in a
statement that seven people were killed
four in clashes in the eastern province
of Parwan, one at a U.S. base outside Ka-
bul, and one each in Jalalabad and Logar
provinces. It said an investigation was
under way to determine what happened.
The people have the right to protest
peacefully, but I appeal to my countrymen
not to resort to violence, Karzai said in a
statement. He also called on the Afghan
security forces to protect the protesters,
not battle them.
The U.S. apologized Tuesday for burn-
ing the copies of the Quran, which had
been pulled from the shelves of the Par-
wan Detention Facility, adjoining Bagram
Air Field, because they contained extrem-
ist messages or inscriptions.
U.S. Gen. John Allen, the top com-
mander of American and NATO forces in
Afghanistan, said after the books had
been mistakenly given to troops to be
burned at a garbage pit without realizing
it.
It was not a decision that was made
because they were religious materials,
Allen said Tuesday, one day after Afghan
workers at the garbage pit found the
books. It was not a decision that was
made with respect to the faith of Islam.
It was a mistake. It was an error. The mo-
ment we found out about it we immedi-
ately stopped and we intervened.
bUENoS AIRES, Argentina
A packed train slammed into the end of
the line in Buenos Aires busy Once sta-
tion Wednesday, killing 49 people and
injuring hundreds of morning commut-
ers as passenger cars crumpled behind
the engine. It was Argentinas worst
train accident in decades.
Federal Police Commissioner Nestor
Rodriguez says the dead include 48
adults and one child.
At least 550 people were injured,
and emergency workers were slowly
extracting dozens of people who were
trapped inside the frst car, said Alberto
Crescenti, the citys emergency medical
director.
The commuter train came in too fast
and hit a shock-absorbing barrier at
the end of the platform at about 16
mph, smashing the front of the engine
and crunching the leading cars behind
it; one car penetrated nearly 20 feet
into the next, Argentinas transporta-
tion secretary, J.P. Schiavi told reporters
at the station.
The conductors union chief, Omar
Maturano, told Radio 10 that the train
might have come in as fast as 18 mph.
Images from a security camera show
windows exploding as the frst two pas-
senger cars crumple into each other
like an accordion, with a man on the
adjacent platform scrambling across
the tracks to escape the wreck.
Many suffered bruises or lesser
injuries, waiting for attention on the
stations platforms as helicopters and
dozens of ambulances carried others to
nearby hospitals. About 200 people had
serious injuries, said city health minis-
ter Jorge Lemus.

Missouri reclaims spot as
nations top meth producer
LEGAL
ASSocIAtED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Methamphetamine
lab seizures rose nationally again in
2011, further evidence the power-
fully addictive and dangerous drug
is maintaining a tight grip on the
nations heartland, according to
an Associated Press survey of the
nations top meth-producing states.
Missouri regained the top nation-
al spot for lab seizures in 2011 with
2,096, the AP confirmed through
the survey that also found Tennessee
was second with 1,687, followed by
Indiana with 1,437, Kentucky with
1,188 and Oklahoma with 902. Lab
seizures in Kansas rose from 149
busts in 2010 to 172 in 2011.
The total for Missouri lines up
with preliminary numbers AP
obtained this week from the Drug
Enforcement Administration, whose
data appeared to show meth lab sei-
zures remained about even during
the past two years. But the totals for
each of the other states surveyed by
AP reveal the numbers are higher
than the federal data.
Combined, the numbers indicate
nationwide meth lab seizures rose at
least 8.3 percent in 2011 compared
with 2010.
Experts blame the continued
increase on the drugs addictiveness
and the growing popularity of the
meth-making shortcut known as
shake-and-bake, in which the drug
is concocted quickly in a soda bottle.
The method results in smaller labs,
but more of them.
Clandestine meth labs are most
common in the Midwest and South.
U.S. users who dont make the drug
themselves get it from Mexico, but
experts say the drug made in home-
made labs is more addictive than the
often-diluted product that crosses
the border.
When theyre manufacturing it
locally theyre making the purest
form and the strongest form they
can make, said Sgt. Niki Crawford
of the Indiana State Police Meth
Suppression Team.
Missouri had been the nations
No. 1 meth-producing state every
year from 2003 to 2009 until falling
behind Tennessee for one year. In
2011, a single Missouri county had
more busts than Texas, Florida and
California combined. Jefferson
County, which is near St. Louis,
tallied 253 seizures; the three states
had 219.
Missouri State Highway Patrol
Capt. Tim Hull attributed the states
consistently high seizure rate to
law enforcement agencies focus on
addressing the meth problem.
Police in many Missouri coun-
ties stake out pharmacies and watch
for pill shoppers who go from
store to store to purchase deconges-
tants containing pseudoephedrine,
a vital meth ingredient, now that
tighter state restrictions have limited
how much of the product they can
buy in one place at one time. Many
Missouri agencies also have officers
focused solely on meth.
Is Missouri that much worse
or does Missouri just take a more
aggressive approach? I think
Missouri law enforcement just
aggressively deals with the issue,
Hull said.
TECHNOLOGy
Apps help students learn
rather than avoid work
Some mobile applications actually help
kids do their homework rather than avoid
it. Here are a few that put the smart in
a smartphone.
Math, from yourTeacher.com, is free
for the frst fve lessons on an iPhone. To
keep going, though, it requires a one-time
$9.99 payment. The company makes in-
structional apps for Apple and Android.
From the opening screen in Math, type
a keyword, such as equations, to see a
list of lessons that include word problems
and real-world uses for the knowledge,
such as fguring sales taxes, discounts,
and interest. Each lesson has examples,
problems, and printable practice and re-
view sheets.
Wolfram Algebra Course, by Wolfram
Alpha LLC, is $1.99. Titles for calculus,
music theory, and other subjects are also
available at various prices for Android and
Apple. The algebra course provides oppor-
tunities to view examples or to plug in an
equation to examine its parts, calculate a
solution, plot the results, and ... do more
math stuff than I was ready for.
The Wolfram courses are an extension
of the brilliant computational knowl-
edge engine at Wolframalpha.com,
which handles a lot of the inquiries that
iPhone4s users put to the personal as-
sistant app, Siri.
HowStuffWorks, by HowStuffWorks.
com, is a free, advertising-supported app
version of the popular website, for Apple
and Android. It has a search screen, pod-
casts such as Stuff you Missed in His-
tory Class and Car Stuff, and chat
and Twitter functions. Share or save your
fndings.
Homeworkhelp.com makes dozens of
subject-specifc apps for learning and re-
view. They include instruction for SAT and
ACT preparation. Titles in the App Store,
some free, some not, include lessons in
various levels of math, the state capitals,
grammar, and vocabulary.
I looked at Homeworkhelp.coms $2.99
Probability and Statistics app. Lessons
begin simply by explaining the practical
uses for knowing probability, and progress
through frequency tables, exponential
distributions, and linear regression. Some
reviewers complain about there being no
practice problems.
Encyclopaedia Britannica is $1.99 a
month for iPhone. I grew up in a house
with a sagging bookshelf of encyclopedia
volumes, including the massive Britan-
nica. Its still authoritative, but now it
fts in your pocket, has more features and
costs way less.

beatles ringtones now
available for frst time
LoS ANGeLeS Hello hello?
Beatles fans can now set their
cellphones to alert them to incoming
calls with Hello Goodbye, take a call
from IT support with Help! or signal
a call from an angry partner with We
Can Work It out as the Fab Fours
music has become available for the
frst time as cellphone ring tones.
The group has licensed ring tones
from its 27 U.S. and British No. 1 hits,
from Love Me Do in 1962 through
Hello Goodbye in 1967 to The Long
and Winding Road in 1970, replicat-
ing the track lineup of the 1 com-
pilation CD, which just surpassed 12
million copies sold in the U.S. since
its release in 2000.
The 30-second ringtones, also
downloadable to ipads and iTouches,
are available exclusively through
iTunes for $1.29 each the same
amount charged for downloading the
entire song.
Its the latest incursion of the
groups music into the digital realm
after long being withheld from legal
downloading. That ended just over
one year ago, when the groups cata-
log was posted on iTunes in November
2010.
Because only the No. 1 hits are
available now, it looks like well have
to wait for the next round of ringtones
for hopes of getting that wake-up call
to Good Morning, Good Morning or
Good Day Sunshine, a cellular sign-
off in the evening with Good Night
or a warning to unknown call num-
bers coming in at dinnertime, Dont
Bother Me.

LOS ANGELES
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats how
Chris Brown, 22, tagged his
remix of Turn Up the Music,
one of two collaborations with
ex-girlfriend Rihanna, 24, that
the pair intentionally leaked via
Twitter on Monday.
The blogosphere has been on
fire since late last week when the
two dropped cryptic tweets allud-
ing to a duet. After producers of
Rihannas lusty track Birthday
Cake tweeted the remix would
shock the world, rumors imme-
diately circulated that Rihanna
would celebrate her birthday by
releasing an extended take of the
track featuring Browns vocals.
It was an unlikely collabora-
tion to say the least, consider-
ing Brown is currently serving
five years probation for brutally
assaulting her three years ago on
the eve of the Grammy Awards.
But they are back together again,
at least on the two songs.
Hip-hop blogger/tastemaker
Karen Civil, who unveiled details
of the collaboration on her pop-
ular, self-titled blog last week,
said that given Rihannas knack
for being provocative, the track
shouldnt be a surprise to any-
one.
I think that it can only help
them both at this time, Civil
said. We cant go back and
change whats already been done,
or recorded and released in
this case. Will it hurt Rihannas
career? Perhaps, in the aspect
of standing up against domestic
violence. However a listener or
fan cannot dictate someones life,
and she is entitled to her own
decisions.
The controversial songs,
which werent officially released
by either artists label, come on
the heels of Browns performance
and win at the 54th Grammy
Awards last week.
He became a trending topic
on Twitter that evening, as did
the phrase wife beater. There
was furor that the Recording
Academy they invited the singer
to perform twice and rewarded
him with the trophy for R&B
album. His awkward shuffling
onstage demonstrated he hadnt
expected the win, and the relative
hush of the audience seemed to
say, You should not be here.
Chris Brown twice? I dont get
it. He beat on a girl ... Not cool
that we act like that didnt hap-
pen, tweeted country music star
Miranda Lambert.
The producers were also criti-
cized for giving the singer two
performance slots as the academy
struggled with how to pay tribute
to pop titan Whitney Houston,
who passed away on the eve of
the telecast.

NEW ORLEANS Ofcers
on horseback cleared Bourbon
Street early Wednesday, declaring
an end to Carnival 2012 in New
Orleans as Mardi Gras revelers
began to prepare for the begin-
ning of Lent, the period of fasting
and repentance before Easter.
Streams of people poured into
the French Quarter as the sun be-
gan to set Tuesday to continue the
party that began earlier along the
citys traditional Garden District
family-friendly parade route
which follows stately St. Charles
Avenue.
Bathed in springlike warmth
and showered with trinkets,
beads and music, New Orleans
reveled in the excesses of Fat
Tuesday. Te drinking was in
full swing shortly afer dawn,
and with it came outrageous
costumes and fesh-fashing that
drew thousands to the Quarter.
New Orleans police said late
Tuesday they were investigating
a stabbing on Esplanade Avenue
but had few details. In a second
incident, two people were shot
in the leg and two suspects were
taken in custody, police said.
Tom White, 46, clad in a pink
tutu, bicycled with his wife,
Allison, to the French Quarter.
Im the pink fairy this year, he
said. Costuming is the real fun of
Mardi Gras. Im not too creative
but when you weigh 200 pounds
and put on a tutu people still take
your picture.
His wife was not in costume.
Hes disgraced the family enough,
she said.
Costumes were the order of the
day, ranging from the predictable
to the bizarre.

Martina Mcbride set
to release new album
Country music veteran Martina
McBride, 11 albums deep into her
career, says shes starting over. Shes
representing this through her latest
album, eleven.
Im defnitely surrounding myself
with new energy and new ideas, and
thinking outside the box musically
and professionally, says McBride.
one element of her starting over
was recording eleven on a differ-
ent label, Republic Nashville, after
her long, successful run with RCA
Records.
I was there for 18 years, and
this was the frst opportunity I had
to pursue another record label,
McBride says. I owed it to myself
to look around and see whats out
there.
McBride also says she got out of
her comfort zone by delving deep
into songwriting for the frst time.
Its something she always wanted
to do.
I quit putting it off _ quit pro-
crastinating. I got all the kids in
school and devoted time to see what
happened if I dedicated myself to
this, says McBride, who as a result
was able to come up with something
more personal.
It was liberating to be able to
write what Im feeling. The chal-
lenge is just getting over being in-
timidated. Im the person who if I do
something, I want to do it well.
Her new freedom and confdence
also led to a new album on which
she was able to play around with
different sounds. Though she clearly
released a country music album,
she also experimented a bit with
R&B and island-favored songs on
eleven. She also recorded outside
Nashville for the frst time.
With that, McBride says, she was
able to make music without the
distraction of daily life.

R
ecently, Disney unveiled its
newest princess, Sofa the
First, who is the frst prin-
cess in the Disney dynasty to actu-
ally be a child herself.
Tis got me thinking: Why
would Disney create characters
that children are supposed to idol-
ize and relate to who are nowhere
near their age range?
Why didnt I have a princess
when I was growing up who was
dealing with the same troubles that
I was going through, like taking
spelling tests and being forced to
eat green beans?
Instead, we 90s girls were forced
to learn from 20-something beauty
queens with problems that we
couldnt imagine relating to, like
the difculties of fnding a lifetime
lover.
And naturally, we idolized these
characters and took note of their
behaviors.
Come to think of it, Disney was
my frst source of knowledge for
relationships (besides my parents,
which I paid virtually no atten-
tion to). And because I had no idea
what the hell a real relationship re-
ally was, I watched the movies with
a blind eye, idolizing behaviors
of the princesses, hoping I would
have the same ridiculous occur-
rences happen to me when I was in
my early 20s.
Now being in my early 20s and
still knowing the stories of my fa-
vorite Disney princesses by heart, I
realized that not only were most of
them completely spineless, brain-
less, and helpless when it came to
them fnding love, but their be-
haviors are so common in young
women my age who happened to
grow up watching them.
Momentarily, think back to your
favorite princess story, and its re-
ally hard not to blame Disney for
some of the relationship disasters
of our generation.
Beauty and the Beast? Tis
plot gives every girl who is holding
on to an abusive, psychotic, egotis-
tical jerk of a boyfriend because she
has briefy seen a glimpse of kind-
ness in that black heart of his and
spends all her energy into turning
him into a teddy bear, but is always
just disappointed.
Te Little Mermaid encour-
ages girls to drop everything and
change everything all in pursuit of
love. Friends, family, fns, you dont
need them as long as you have a
prince, according to Ariel.
And Sleeping Beauty just tells
us to get wasted, pass out, and be
overwhelmingly happy when you
wake up to stranger making out
with you.
I could go further, but I think
you catch my drif.
While I do realize that these
stories were all in the name of
fction, the fact that they served as a
lot of young girls frst perception of
relationships makes it hard to deny
that these underlying messages
had a bigger impact on us than
we perceived them to. Young girls
like myself really grew up idolizing
these characters, watching their
stories over and over again and
intuitively taking note of their
behaviors.
And I will admit, that Disney
has shown a lot of progress in past
twenty years with their princesses
(Pocahantas and Mulan were def-
nitely a step up), and this new pre-
school aged princess is huge prog-
ress from what it sounds, just as
long as shes not in constant pursuit
of fnding her pre-school prince.

Disney princesses gave us

CuLTuRE
I
magine there is a boy who
never has any negative con-
sequences. He punches your
brother and your mom says,
Great job honey! with a big
smile. Or maybe he steals a snack
pack from little Johnny at school
every day and enjoys that great
chocolate pudding without a care
in the world. He can do what
he wants when he wants. Tat
sounds like a good life to me. Well
what if the boy grew up like that
and the trend continued into his
adult life? Ladies and gentlemen,
meet Charlie Sheen!
Celebrities are the center of
our culture and likely will be for
a long time. In the case of little
Charlie Sheen, he is positively
reinforced for anything he does.
Tis essentially means he is more
likely to repeat whatever behav-
ior occurred prior to being re-
inforced. At the same time he is
never punished, which constitutes
not receiving consequences that
efectively control his behavior.
Lets say you work for a generic
fnancial sales company. Each
week you are positively reinforced
with $100 bonus if you meet an
average quota of sales that week.
But then say your boss triples that
weekly bonus and increases the
sales level by fve percent. How
would you react?
Youd probably be pretty ex-
cited about making an extra $200
a week just for a little more work.
Ten two months later you earn
$1,000 a week to sell an additional
fve percent. Will that motivate
you to continue to sell better? It
likely will, and this typifes how
the environment can drastically
change your behavior.
Now lets go back to celebrities
where their environment is much
less orderly. Take Ashton Kutcher
as an example of being reinforced
for inappropriate behavior. In
2011 he cheats on his wife and
subsequently is praised in US-
weekly by his secret girlfriend as
romantic. Additionally, ratings of
his show Two and a Half Men
continue to rise and reinforce his
behavior. He continues to make
millions and his celebrity status
only seems to rise.
Te problem here is celebri-
ties are difcult to punish in the
behavioral sense. Normal punish-
ments for illegal or other inap-
propriate behavior dont seem to
apply for celebrities.
Tere are two big pieces we can
take from knowledge of celebrity
behavior. Te frst is that idolizing
and trying to emulate celebrities
might not always be a good idea.
As the drug abuse, early deaths,
and confict of many celebrity lives
indicate, its not all fun and games.
Secondly and more importantly
though is learning from celebrity
mistakes to achieve our own sense
of happiness.
What do celebrities lack when
they go of the deep end? Usually
they lack direction, control, and
appropriate levels of intellectual
stimulation.
As human beings, we need to
fnd our fow to counteract these
potential issues. Te Psychologi-
cal Concept of Flow is when all of
skills and talents are thrown at a
challenge that is barely manage-
able. You become consumed in it.
You can be in Flow in both physi-
cal and intellectual activities.
But as Psychology Professor
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi tells us
in Psychology Today, Americans
tend to report being in such a
state markedly less than in Euro-
pean Nations like Germany. His
research measures consciousness
and attitudes by having partici-
pants report their scores at ran-
dom parts of two hour intervals
each day. Tese scores are inter-
estingly the lowest during pure
leisure time like watching T.V.
Te concept of fow isnt an
equation for happiness but you
dont need to be able to pronounce
Csikszentmihalyi to understand
that involvement is key as a col-
lege student.
Te next time youre tempted to
take Underwater Basket Weaving
II understand that youre making
shortsighted decision and not be
interested in the class might even
lower youre grade as well as in-
terest. Additionally, being able to
continuously challenge yourself is
a skill that is vital in all felds of
work.
And speaking of felds of work,
understanding what stimulates
and challenges you is important
in picking a job that is right for
you. Lastly, we tend to loaf so-
cially as opposed to spending free
time in engaging extracurricular
activities or hobbies.
More engaging activities wont
just make your free time more en-
joyable but will likely allow you to
engage in your work more efec-
tively as well. I hope youll forgive
my choice of words but just go
with the fow.

Wireless service on campus disappoints
I
nternet and wireless services
at the University of Kansas
have been hot topics since the
University signed a contract with
Apogee to provide internet ser-
vice in student housing. Students
now deal directly with Apogee for
internet service at their homes,
rather than with the University.
Originally, the contract called
for complete wireless installation
by May 2011, but the University
pushed back the time line for that
work. Today, all of the scholarship
halls, all of the residence halls, ex-
cept Corbin and Jayhawk Towers
A and D, have wireless internet.
Te University plans to begin in-
stalling wireless access points for
the remaining Jayhawk Towers
during February and Corbin Hall
during the summer.
Meanwhile, some students will
be paying more for internet next
semester. Kansas difers from oth-
er schools, such as the University
of Missouri and Kansas State, in
separating internet from tuition
and campus fees.
Te tierd service ofered by
Apogee charges $98 for its basic
package of 8 Mbps, $138 for its
intermediate package of 15 Mbps
and $158 for its highest package
of 20 Mbps. Te speeds were up-
dated last October when students
complained about the coverage.
Apogees proposed packages
for next year will charge students
$128 for a basic package of 10
Mbps, $148 for 20 Mbps and $168
for 30 Mbps.
To put internet service in per-
spective, it might help to look at
how Kansas State does it.
Our in-state rivals have a more
complete wireless program that
extends throughout the resi-
dence halls. Every hall has wire-
less that extends into students
dorm rooms. K-State doesnt set
a speed for users. A representative
said that students can expect four
Mbps or faster at any given time
of day.
If they have a problem with
their service, there is one number
to call.
Students at K-State pay for in-
ternet as part of their student fees
at the beginning of the semester.
Because that fee isnt separated
from their tuition, it is difcult to
tell how much each student pays
for their internet service. All of
the questions students have about
their internet are directed to the
universities Internet Technology
departments at K-State.
Tis difers from Internet sup-
port at the University in that stu-
dents here have two places to call.
Students should call Apogee if
they have a problem connecting
to the internet in their residence
area. But if they have problems
connecting in any other building
on campus, they should call KU
IT Customer Service , according
to David Day, a Communications
representative of KU IT Services.
Under this system, the Univer-
sity isnt responsible for a large
portion of the technical support
students may need. Instead, stu-
dents fnd themselves dealing
with a private frm that is insu-
lated from the consequences of
irritating customers. Tey have an
eight-year contract with the Uni-
versity.
Afer looking at K-States Inter-
net and comparing it to ours we
might conclude that our friends
in Manhattan are getting a better
deal
In the future, maybe the Uni-
versity should be more wary of
contracting out services to out-of-
state companies by ofering them
exclusive deals that last for years.
Its great for Apogee, and easier
for the University. But it seems
students may be lef hanging be-
tween them.

Adderall, which is prescribed
to treat Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD), has been difficult for stu-
dents at the University of Kansas
to get. There has been a shortage
in Kansas, and across the United
States.
The shortage has caused frus-
tration among students. Whitney
Beck, a senior from Lenexa, said
the lack of Adderall has made it
difficult for her to focus in school.
Whitney was prescribed Adderall
her freshman year of college.
It makes studying a lot more
difficult. It definitely takes me
longer to study or do homework
when I am out of Adderall, Beck
said.
Pharmacies such at CVS,
Walgreens and Target have been in
short supply since the beginning
of the fall semester. Beck said that
she starts calling pharmacies a
week before her prescription runs
out in order to make sure she can
get it refilled. Recently, Beck has
gone to local pharmacies around
Lawrence to get her refill.
Cathy Thrasher, Pharmacist-
in-Charge at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said the shortage
stemmed from a few problems.
Adderall is classified as a C2 drug,
which is the most restricted level of
prescription. Drug manufacturers
cannot produce C2 medications
whenever they want. They need
DEA approval first, and the DEA
has strict quota restrictions.
Thrasher said that more stu-
dents have been coming into
Watkins this year to fill their
Adderall prescriptions, and that
they try to help students as much
as possible.
We do the best we can to try
not to turn away students. If a
student comes in with a prescrip-
tion for 10 milligrams of Adderall
and all we have is 20, then we
contact the doctor to see if we can
prescribe them half tablets of 20
milligrams Thrasher said.
Adderall is not the only pre-
scription drug that has been in
short supply. From 2005 to 2010
the amount of prescription drug
shortages in the United States
nearly tripled from 61 to 178,
according to a White House press
release in October 2011.
President Obama issued
an executive order in October
2011 directing the FDA and the
Department of Justice to take action
to help prevent further shortages.
The Obama Administration said
they would increase staffing
resources for the FDAs Drug
Shortage Program. There will also
be early notification of potential
shortages by manufacturers.
Furthermore, the Obama
Administration released a report
from the Department of Health
and Human Services Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation which assesses the
underlying factors that lead to
drug shortages. Finally they will
include an FDA report on its role
in monitoring, preventing and
responding to these shortages.
Thrasher says the problem
hasnt been resolved yet, but
steps are being taken in the right
direction.
There has been loosening up.
Its not as tight as last semester.
The manufacturers are starting
to catch up to the demand, she
said.

New York police watch Muslim groups
in effort to combat terrorist recruiting
NEW YORK Te mayor faced
of with the president of Yale Uni-
versity on Tuesday over an efort
by the citys police department to
monitor Muslim student groups
for any signs that their members
harbored terrorist sympathies.
Te Associated Press revealed
over the weekend that in recent
years the New York Police Depart-
ment has kept close watch on Mus-
lim student associations across the
Northeast. Te efort included dai-
ly tracking of student websites and
blogs, monitoring who was speak-
ing to the groups and sending an
undercover ofcer on a whitewater
rafing trip with students from the
City College of New York.
Yale President Richard Levin
was among a number of academ-
ics who condemned the efort in a
statement Monday, while Rutgers
University and leaders of student
Muslim groups elsewhere called for
investigations into the monitoring.
I am writing to state, in the
strongest possible terms, that po-
lice surveillance based on religion,
nationality, or peacefully expressed
political opinions is antithetical to
the values of Yale, the academic
community, and the United States,
Levin wrote.
New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, speaking to reporters
on Tuesday, dismissed those criti-
cisms as baseless.
I dont know why keeping the
country safe is antithetical to the
values of Yale, he said.
He said it was ridiculous to ar-
gue that there was anything wrong
with ofcers keeping an eye on
websites that are available to the
general public.
Of course were going to look
at anything thats publicly available
in the public domain, he said. We
have an obligation to do so, and it
is to protect the very things that let
Yale survive.
Asked by a reporter if he thought
it was a step too far to send un-
dercover investigators to accom-
pany students on rafing vacations,
Bloomberg said: No. We have to
keep this country safe.
Its very cute to go and blame
everybody and say we should stay
away from anything that smacks
of intelligence gathering, he said.
Te job of our law enforcement
is to make sure that they prevent
things. And you only do that by be-
ing proactive.
Bloomberg, an independent,
added that he believed that police
ofcers had respected peoples pri-
vacy and obeyed the law.
Te campus monitoring pro-
gram was part of a broad efort by
the NYPD, initiated afer the Sept.
11, 2001, terror attacks, to try to
spot any burgeoning terror cells in
the U.S. before they had a chance to
act. Te NYPD monitoring of col-
lege campuses included schools far
beyond the city limits.
Police talked with local authori-
ties about professors 300 miles away
in upstate Bufalo. Te undercover
agent who attended the City Col-
lege rafing trip recorded students
names and noted in police intel-
ligence fles how many times they
prayed. Detectives trawled Muslim
student websites every day and, al-
though professors and students had
not been accused of any wrongdo-
ing, their names were recorded in
reports prepared for police Com-
missioner Raymond Kelly.
Ofcers kept tabs on student
groups at Yale; Columbia; Te
University of Pennsylvania;
Syracuse; Rutgers; New York
University; Clarkson University;
the State University of New York
campuses in Bufalo, Albany,
Stony Brook and Potsdam;
Queens College, Baruch College,
Brooklyn College and La Guardia
Community College.
Levin said Yales police depart-
ment did not participate in any
monitoring by the NYPD and was
unaware of it.
An NYPD spokesman, Paul
Browne, explained the efort as an
attempt to learn more about student
organizations that could be ripe for
infltration by terror recruiters. He
cited 12 people arrested or con-
victed on terrorism charges in the
United States and abroad who had
once been members of Muslim stu-
dent associations, or MSAs.
He acknowledged that police
monitored student websites and
collected publicly available infor-
mation but said law-abiding stu-
dents have nothing to fear.
Students who advertised events
or sent emails about regular events
should not be worried about a
terrorism fle being kept on them,
he said. NYPD only investigated
persons who we had reasonable
suspicion to believe might be
involved in unlawful activities.
A Muslim student leader at
Yale, Faisal Hamid, challenged the
NYPDs justifcation.
An MSA is simply a group of
Muslim students; just because a
terrorist happened to be member
of an MSA does not mean that
MSAs, which nationally represents
hundreds of thousands of Mus-
lim students, have any connection
to criminal activity, Hamid said.
Law enforcement should pursue
actual leads, not imaginary ones
based on Islamophobia.
Syracuse University does not
approve of, or support, any surveil-
lance or investigation of student
groups based solely on ethnicity,
religion or political viewpoint, said
Kevin Quinn, senior vice president
for public afairs at Syracuse.
Columbia University would
obviously be concerned about any-
thing that could chill our essential
values of academic freedom or in-
trude on student privacy, spokes-
man Robert Hornsby said.
Te University of Bufalo said in a
statement that it does not conduct
this kind of surveillance, and, if
asked, UB would not voluntarily
cooperate with such a request. As
a public university, UB strongly
supports the values of freedom
of speech and assembly, freedom
of religion, and a reasonable
expectation of privacy.
Te University of Pennsylvania
contacted the NYPD and received
assurances that none of its students
is being monitored, a spokesman
said.
Te Connecticut chapter of the
Council on American-Islamic Re-
lations called for ofcials to investi-
gate to determine the extent of the
monitoring and how to prevent it
from happening again.
Teyre just going out and cast-
ing a wide net around a whole com-
munity, so theyre criminalizing in
a way a whole community based
on their religion, said Mongi Dha-
ouadi, director of CAIR in Con-
necticut.
Rutgers University, based in
New Jersey, called for the NYPD
to investigate its own activities.
Te Muslim Student Association
at Rutgers called the monitoring a
violation of civil rights.
ASSocIAtED PRESS
on Wednesday, Feb. 15, people walk on the University at Buffalo campus in Buffalo, N.Y. the New York Police department

the University at Buffalo, the ivy league colleges of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, the associated Press has

New bill that requires
proof of citizenship
advances in legislature
TOPEKA Secretary
of State Kris Kobachs bill to
require some potential voters to
prove U.S. citizenship ahead of
this years presidential election
received first-round approval
Wednesday in the state House,
though disagreements surfaced
among fellow Republicans.
The measure would impose
the proof-of-citizenship
requirement on June 15, more
than six months ahead of sched-
ule and in time for the normal
surge of first-time registrations
before a presidential contest.
Legislators enacted a proof-
of-citizenship requirement last
year that wouldnt take effect
until Jan. 1, 2013.
The House advanced the bill
on a voice vote, setting up a
final vote Thursday to deter-
mine whether the bill goes to
the Senate.
Kobach, a Republican and
former law professor who
helped draft tough laws in
Alabama and Arizona designed
to crack down
on i l l egal
i mmi gr at i on,
contends the
r e q u i r e me nt
will keep non-
citizens from
registering and
is part of a
larger effort to
combat election
fraud. Critics
note reports of non-citizens
voting in Kansas remain rare
and say the proof-of-citizen-
ship rule will prevent poor,
minority and elderly Kansans
from registering.
Kobachs bill had appeared
likely to pass the House, where
Republicans have a large major-
ity and most share Kobachs
conservative views. But a few
GOP legislators joined per-
sistent Democratic critics
on Wednesday in wondering
whether state officials, election
officials and Kansans involved
in registration efforts are ready
to have the rule in place this
year.
During a morning GOP cau-
cus meeting, Republican Rep.
Caryn Tyson, of Parker, noted
that county election officials
already are dealing with a law
that took effect this year to
require voters to show photo
identification at the polls.
During the Houses debate,
Rep. Bob Brookens, a Marion
Republican, said the rule could
be a burden for nursing homes,
which may have to help new
residents hunt down birth cer-
tificates or other documents.
Youve heard the other facts,
and Im not going into them,
but the practicalities for each
nursing home should weigh in
on what we do, Brookens said.
One issue has been a $40
million upgrade of the com-
puter system for issuing drivers
licenses to comply with a fed-
eral law that requires Kansas to
verify citizenship before renew-
ing them. The goal is to allow
the state Division of Vehicles
to transfer electronic copies
of birth certificates and other
documents to election officials.
The divisions officials say the
system should be ready before
June 15.
Some lawmakers also ques-
tion whether Kobachs office
can do enough voter educa-
tion this year. He is planning
a $300,000 campaign and said
it will blanket the state with
broadcast and print ads.
Kobach and his allies con-
tend fears that Kansas is unpre-
pared are unfounded. House
m e m b e r s
s uppor t i ng
his bill say it
makes sense
to have the
proof-of-cit-
izenship rule
in place ear-
lier because
a b o u t
150,000 new
voters are
expected to register between
July and mid-October, when
registration closes.
The secretary of states office
said it found 32 non-citizens on
registration rolls last year.
If we dont get this proof-
of-citizenship requirement in,
in June, we are going to have
more people that are not legally
qualified to vote in Kansas on
the rolls, said Rep. John Rubin,
a Shawnee Republican. It is
extremely difficult to find and
remove the aliens on the voter
rolls once they get on.
But Rep. Ann Mah, a Topeka
Democrat who voted for the
final version of last years leg-
islation, said imposing the
requirement early will hamper
voter registration drives. She
predicted that it wont be easy
for many Kansans to find their
birth certificates and other
documents.
How many tens of thou-
sands are just going to give
up? she said. The bill is bad
on many levels.

Casting is underway in
Lawrence for a new CBS reality TV
show about dating. Several hope-
ful University students were picked
amongst other applicants to go to
Tellers Wednesday evening for
screenings.
3 will air this summer and
is called a docu-series by CBS
because it hopes to dispel typical
reality TV show stigmas.
They told us its not going to
be like The Bacheleor, Danielle
Fuhrman said, a senior from Tulsa,
Okla. Theres no crazy or extrava-
gant dates, but we will meet 100 or
150 guys and see if we want to date
any of them.
The show will cast three single
women of various ages who have
never met to live in a house togeth-
er. Within the first couple of weeks
the women will meet men of dif-
ferent demographics and will pick
men to become more serious with,
but casting director Maria Skeels
said they arent expecting anyone
to propose.
We honestly dont even know
what the outcome will be, Skeels
said. It could very well be that none
of the girls end up with someone.
While the women will meet the
same men, the idea is not for the
women to fight, but to form a sup-
port system for one another and
help each other find love.
A similar show aired in Israel
called Shalosh, was a hit in the
Middle East.
Skeels, a University graduate and
founder of Hollywood Hawks, a
network for KU students and grad-
uates working in Hollywood, was
instrumental in bringing casting to
Lawrence.
One night in bed I just knew we
had to come, Skeels said. I made
my case. I said we need to go for
XYZ and they agreed.
Katie Merserko, a graduate stu-
dent from Overland Park, was
asked to go to Tellers and has tried
out for American Idol previous-
ly, but thinks its important to set
boundaries.
This seems down to earth and
realistic, but I have limitations,
Miserko said. I am going to be a
teacher, so I dont want anything
out there that might harm my repu-
tation, and I want to be myself. I
definitely dont want to look sleazy
or catty.
Casting is taking place all over
the country and requires hopefuls
to fill out an online application
on the CBS website, http://www.
cbsdatingshow.com/, to begin
the auditioning process. Men
and women can apply and those
selected will be asked to attend a
nearby screening.
The Lawrence screening takes
place from Tuesday to Friday and
students have until Thursday to
apply.

Code of ethics changed
to extend privacy rights
Student Senates Rights Committee
passed a bill to the yesterday night with
amendments to the Code of Rights and
Regulations that offcially extends and
modernizes students expression and
privacy rights.
Originally, the bill also had an amend-
ment that would have extended the Uni-
versitys power to discipline students
for off-campus activities that has had
or may have an adverse affect on the
health, safety, or security of any member
of the University community.
But committee chair Aaron Harris
spoke against the amendment saying
it wasnt necessary due to the override
of federal law, and that he thought the
amendment was an attempt by the
University to limit students rights. The
committee voted to strike out the amend-
ment, and pass the rest of the bill.
The committee also rejected a bill that
would have eliminated Student Senate
seats reserved for Greek organizations
and organizations that arent registered
with the Student involvement &
Leadership Center.
The full Senate will vote on the
amendments at its regular meeting next
Wednesday.

third-grade girl shot,
classmate suspected
SeATTLe An 8-year-old girl was in
critical condition Wednesday after she
was shot in the abdomen at her elemen-
tary school near Seattle, and one of her
classmates was detained, authorities
said Wednesday.
The injured third-grader was airlifted
to Seattles Harborview Medical Center,
where she underwent surgery Wednesday
afternoon so doctors could assess her
injuries, hospital spokeswoman Susan
Gregg said.
Police said a third-grade boy was be-
ing questioned and a frearm was found
in a classroom. The boy apparently shot
the girl, though police provided no further
details about the incident and said their
investigation was just beginning.
The Bremerton Schools superinten-
dents offce said the girl was shot in the
abdomen.
Bremerton police Lt. Peter Fisher said
offcers and emergency crews were dis-
patched to Armin Jahr elementary school
in Bremerton around 1:30 p.m. in re-
sponse to a call that a student was shot
by another student. The school is in a quiet
residential neighborhood about 20 miles
west of Seattle, across Puget Sound.
The school went into lockdown imme-
diately after the shooting, said Bremerton
Schools spokeswoman Patty Glaser. Lock-
down procedures call for announcements
to be made over the schools loudspeakers
and for teachers to lock their classrooms,
she said.
Armin Jahr elementary has about 400
students, Glaser said. She said the school
will reopen Thursday and three counselors
will talk to teachers, students and par-
ents.
Our plans at this time, school will
continue as usual, Glaser said.
When asked how a gun was brought
into the school, Fisher said police were
still investigating the circumstances and
couldnt provide details.
Police were working with the school
district Wednesday afternoon to reunite
parents with their children, Fisher added,
and investigators were interviewing wit-
nesses, which included students.
As of mid-afternoon, parents were still
arriving to pick up their children from the
school. A police offcer was checking ve-
hicles as they entered the parking lot.
Many questions remained, including
how a child could have obtained a loaded
weapon and brought it into a grade school
classroom.
in the latest scorecard by the Brady
Campaign, a national gun control advo-
cacy group, Washington scored no points
in the child safety category because the
state does not require trigger locks for
guns and lacks laws to prevent child ac-
cess to frearms.

From homesickness to pro-
crastination and fnance help, the
Bounce Back workshop Wednes-
day at McCollum Residence Hall
covered potential problems a stu-
dent could encounter through-
out their academic career and
beyond.
Te workshop collaborated
with diferent departments
around the campus to ofer stu-
dents advice on a variety of prob-
lems such as procrastination, time
management, academic achieve-
ment and even job and internship
searching.
Students attending the work-
shop began by
flling out a
questionnaire
to identify three
key areas of fo-
cus and were
assigned dif-
ferent booths,
represented by
diferent Uni-
versity depart-
ments, to gain incite on how to
solve their problems.
Alahna Broadway a junior
from Jacksonville, N.C., appreci-
ated the one-stop-shop setup at
the workshop.
Its really nice because all the
organizations that you would
need to be successful are in one
place, Broadway said. You dont
have to make appointments, you
can just go around to each one.
Broadway utilized the time to
speak with the career center about
potential jobs and internships.
It was really insightful be-
cause I didnt really know what to
do afer college, Broadway said.
So, I got help with a resume and
got some internship information.
Now I feel better about both of
those things.
Sheryl Adelman Kimmel, a
senior advisor for the University
Advising Center helps oversee the
program. She said while it helps
students with an array of prob-
lems, some of the most common
are time management and aca-
demic standing.
Its a good way for students to
check in, Kimmel said. Using a
sounding board of experts helps
students understand if what they
are doing really works.
Kimmel said for students strug-
gling with academic standing, the
workshop can help students learn
how to communicate with profes-
sors and truly understand if they
need to drop the class or if they
can turn things
around.
K r i s t e n
Scott, associate
director for the
KU Academic
Achi evement
and Access
Center, said one
of the easiest
ways to avoid
procrastination is by keeping a
planner and working backwards.
Were all so busy, Scott said.
We all have a million things go-
ing on, but by noting an exam or
project in your planner, then you
have the opportunity to work
backwards and schedule time,
even if its small steps. If youve
got a paper to write, write the
cover letter. Giving yourself a
good starting place is really key to
having a strong fnish.
Additional Bounce Back work-
shops are Feb. 28 at Hashinger

Center from 4 to 5 p.m. No regis-
tration is required.

WASHINGTON Some
congressional offices outside
Washington and media organiza-
tions have received threatening
letters containing a suspicious
powdery substance that was tested
and proved to be harmless, the FBI
and the Senates top law enforce-
ment officer said Wednesday.
Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance
Gainer said in a memo to Senate
offices that the letters were sent
to three state and home district
offices. A district office of House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
received one of the letters, spokes-
man Kevin Smith said.
A federal law enforcement
official, speaking on condition of
anonymity, said that so far fewer
than 10 members of Congress had
received letters.
Letters were also sent to several
media organizations. FBI spokes-
man Peter Donald said agents had
responded to Viacom and at least
one other location in New York.
Preliminary tests showed that the
powder did not pose a threat, he
said.
So far, none of the letters have
contained a hazardous substance,
FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said.
We are working with those law
enforcement agencies affected to
determine if the mailings are relat-
ed. We take these matters seriously
and will investigate fully.
The letters tell the recipients
that there is a 10 percent chance
you have just been exposed to a
lethal pathogen.
Even though none of the letters
that have been tested have con-
tained harmful substances, Gainer
told staff to be extra vigilant.
The author of these letters has
indicated that additional letters
containing a powdery substance
will be arriving at more Senate
offices and that some of these let-
ters may contain an actual harm-
ful material, Gainers memo to
Senate offices said. Although
all letters received thus far have
proved harmless, it is essential
that we treat every piece of suspi-
cious mail as if it may, in fact, be
harmful.
The letters bore a return address
from The MIB and were post-
marked Portland, Ore.
The Portland return address on
the letters appears to be phony.
The combination of the address
given 2413 NW Burnside, ZIP
code 97209 does not exist.
The sender wants an end to
corporate money and lobbying,
an end to corporate person-
hood and a new constitutional
convention. The Associated Press
obtained a copy of a letter.
The threats raised memories of
post-9/11 incidents that rattled
Washington. In mid-November
2001, authorities closed two Senate
office buildings after anthrax
attacks on Congress. Those attacks
came after four people two
postal workers in Washington, a
New York City hospital worker
and a Florida photo editor died
from exposure to anthrax.
Also at that time, an unopened
envelope sent to Sen. Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., resembled a letter
mailed the previous month to
then-Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle, D-S.D. The Leahy letter
was discovered in the 280 barrels
of congressional mail quarantined
after a Daschle employee opened a
powder-filled envelope.

It was a short day of work for
the Kansas swimming and div-
ing team yesterday on the first
day of competition at the Big 12
Championships, but the quick,
two-event evening provided
enough time for two Kansas
swimmers to achieve their goal of
recording lifetime-best times.
Junior Svetlana Golovchun
gave the Jayhawks great energy in
the opening 50-yard backstroke
leg of the 200-yard medley relay.
She posted a lifetime-best time in
her split as the Kansas relay team
finished fourth.
During the second and final
event, the 800-yard freestyle relay,
senior Shannon Garlie posted
a lifetime best of her own. Her
impressive lead-off leg helped
spark relay teammates junior
Brooke Brull, sophomore Morgan
Sharp and junior Rebecca Swank.
The relay team finished in fourth
place.
It was about as good a start as
we could have hoped for, coach
Clark Campbell said. It was
significantly faster than we were
in the fall.
Along with Golovchun in the
200-yard medley relay were junior
Brittany Rospierski, sophomore
Sophiia Filatova, and freshman
Kaja Kolsek. The four displayed
good intensity and were able to
keep their composure while swim-
ming at a high level, Campbell
said.
Kansas two fourth-place fin-
ishes tallied 60 points and the
team currently sits in fourth place
overall, ahead of Iowa State and
behind Texas, Texas A&M and
Missouri.
Campbell acknowledged the
teams fourth-place standing, but
still believes the ultimate goal
is for his swimmers to achieve
their individual goals to see the
results of six months spent train-
ing for this week.
The most important thing is
that each swimmer is going for
lifetime-best times, Campbell
said. How that breaks down as
far as what team is ahead you,
we kind of let that play out at the
end.
The teams chance to reach those
goals continue tomorrow when
they compete in the 200-yard
freestyle relay, 500-yard freestyle,
200-yard individual medley and
50-yard freestyle events. Kansas
divers junior Christy Cash and
sophomore Alyssa Golden will
compete in the 1-meter diving.
In attempt to maintain focus,
athletes will not be available to the
media, at the request of Campbell,
until the Championships are com-
pleted Saturday.

COMMENTARY
A
close friend of mine
is the most fanatical
Auburn fan I know
told me once that Auburns
victory over Alabama was big-
ger than its 2010 BCS National
Championship victory over
Oregon.
For 53 years, Auburn had not
won a national championship in
football until 2010.
But what really matters is that
Auburn trails Alabama in the
Iron Bowl. Alabama leads the all-
time series 41-34-1.
For a fan to put more impor-
tance on a favorite teams victory
over its rival during the regular
season instead of its national
championship victory shows the
magnitude of a rivalry like the
Iron Bowl. Gaining the upper
hand over Alabama is just as
important to Auburn fans as
winning the national title.
The Border Showdown has a
similar mentality.
With the end to the Border
Showdown because of conference
realignment, Saturdays basket-
ball game between Missouri and
Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse has
to be one of the biggest games
in the storied rivalrys history.
Both teams are ranked in the top
five in the AP Poll going into
Saturdays pivotal matchup.
For Kansas, because of its rich
tradition and history in bas-
ketball, significant post season
victories always trump any win
over Missouri when it comes
to importance, but that doesnt
mean the rivalry takes a back
seat. The games mean everything
to both bitter rivals. Kansas
171-95 all-time series lead
over Missouri is a huge deal to
Jayhawks fans. Team records and
rankings are thrown out when
these two teams faceoff, but the
rivalry is obviously enhanced
when both are ranked.
The Tigers always consider it
the biggest game of their season
not just because the Jayhawks are
their biggest rival, but because
Kansas is a basketball blueblood
and the top dog in the Big 12.
Tigers fans have been look-
ing in one direction: up which
means always looking up at the
Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks loss to the
Tigers on Feb. 4, in Columbia
was as debilitating a loss as some
of the Jayhawks past postseason.
Neither side enjoys seeing the
other gloating. Seeing your big-
gest rival gloat provokes you to
find the nearest toilet and vomit
your guts out as if you had the
stomach flu. Its that painful.
Both fan bases go at each
others throat 365 days a year. Its
a continuous barrage of verbal
attacks that has no end in sight
despite Missouris move to the
SEC.
Kansas and Missouri dont
consider themselves rivals but
rather enemies.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
The rematch between Kansas
and Texas A&M in Reed Arena
Wednesday night wasnt totally
unlike the first meeting on Jan.
24. The tempo was slow, defense
ruled all and the Jayhawks even-
tually won by a few possessions.
How they got there, however,
was a different story.
If you told me wed won by
eight before we got here, Id be
ecstatic, coach Bill Self said after
the 66-58 Kansas victory. But
we were up 21 with about 10 left,
and you guys saw what happened
down the stretch.
There was actually 13:25 left in
the game when Kansas held a 21
point lead over the Aggies. Texas
A&M clawed themselves back
though, cutting the deficit to 10
with 4:36 to go. Self blamed the
minor meltdown on bad plays,
among others.
With 40 seconds remaining
and the Jayhawks clinging to a
62-56 lead, a loose ball led to
a pile-up on the floor. In the
middle of it all, junior forward
Thomas Robinson was called for
a technical foul for apparently
pushing an opponent. It was his
fifth foul and his night was done,
finishing with 10 points and 13
rebounds.
Inexplicable, Self called
Robinsons foul.
Theres a lot of teams out
there that can focus, but theres
not too many that can focus for
40 minutes, junior guard Elijah
Johnson said. Our goal is to
focus for 40 minutes.
Late game miscues arent
exactly new for the Jayhawks
this season. In the 74-71 loss at
Missouri on Feb. 4, Kansas was
held scoreless in the final 2:05 of
the game as the Tigers ended the
night on an 11-0 run. Late mis-
takes against Kansas State earlier
this month in Manhattan almost
proved to be fatal as well, with
the Jayahwks holding on for a
59-53 victory.
I dont know what it is, Senior
guard Tyshawn Taylor said on
the mishaps late in games. We
just need to focus in a little bit
more defensively and offensively
when the game is close or almost
over.
A few empty possessions late
for the Aggies and timely free
throw shooting from Jeff Withey
were just enough for Kansas
when the clock read all zeros.
Its a good win and well be
happy we won, but Im not leav-
ing out of here feeling great about
anything, Self said. I dont think
anybody in our locker room is.

F
inding a job, the economy, famine
and war are just a few of the issues the
world faces.
And with so many of those problems,
who would not want to escape to a world
where anything is possible?
That place can be found in the world of
sports. A place where Cinderella lives, and
legends come to fruition. Where kids who
never would have had a chance become
icons. Its a place where a Harvard graduate
like Jeremy Lin can capture the entire coun-
trys attention for something other than his
academic triumphs or business ventures.
Sports create memories that not only last a
lifetime, but are also genuine. They cannot be
faked or planned, they are simply real.
Thats why I brewed about my favorite
sports quotes last February, and thats why
Im brewing about them again.
Theres no way I could possibly limit
myself to only writing one of these, so with-
out further ado, heres brew number two:
Mike Eruzione! Winthrop,
Massachusetts! I play for the United States
of America. Patrick Demsey as Mike
Eruzione in the movie Miracle.
A team full of college kids playing the best
team in the world. What a miracle that game
was.
But the most special aspect of this quote,
and that team in particular, is that these kids
came from different schools that hated each
other. Because of the physicality of the sport,
hockey rivalries are some of the most intense
in sports among the players. When Eruzione
said this, he put everything in the past for the
good of the team.
Shes not Lois Einhorn! Shes Ray Finkle,
shes a man! Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura in
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
There are a number of great quotes in the
classic comedy, But this one takes first place,
as Ace Ventura reveals the true kidnapper
of Dan Marino, to be Ray Finkle, the for-
mer Miami Dolphins kicker. In the movie,
Finkle blamed Marino for not holding the
laces out on a kick that would have won
the Dolphins the Super Bowl. Instead, Finkle
missed the kick, and the rest is cinematic
history.
Show me a guy whos afraid to look bad,
and Ill show you a guy you can beat every
time. Lou Brock.
Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock nailed
this one about the importance of being fear-
less. Brock knew that the only way to suc-
ceed in sports is to not be afraid of making a
mistake.
Ive failed over and over again in my
life and that is why I succeed, Michael
Jordan.
Jordan referenced all of the shots hed
missed and the games hes lost as his motiva-
tion. Michael Jordan hated losing more than
anything else, and because of that hatred,
his work ethic became unrivaled. Jordan is
often considered the best athlete, or at least,
the best basketball player of all time. And the
man attributed his success to his failures.
At Kansas, there is a bond created from
sports, and that bond will be on display
against Missouri on Saturday. And like Bill
Self said before the 2008 national champion-
ship game, I want to thank you in advance
for the great memories its going to be.

When Kansas football coach
Charlie Weis started talking to
Dave Campo about joining his
staff as the defensive coordinator,
Campo had just one question for
Weis: Whats the quarterback
situation?
When I was the coach of the
Cowboys, I didnt have one,
Campo said. So I believe that you
really cant win without a quar-
terback. You have to have a leader
that steps out of that huddle,
commands respect and has some
talent.
Even though Campo is a
defensive-minded coach, he still
knows the value of a good starting
quarterback and the struggles of
looking for one.
During Campos first coaching
stint in Dallas he was able to expe-
rience the difference a good quar-
terback made. During his time as
the defensive backs coach, later
the defensive coordinator, Campo
saw the Cowboys win three Super
Bowls with Troy Aikman under
center.
But in Campos first season as
coach, Aikman missed time with
concussions, and then he retired
in the offseason.
In his defensive philosophy,
Campo believes there are two
defensive positions that mirror the
quarterbacks importance.
I think you need a middle
linebacker, and I think you need a
safety. Those two positions are the
guys that are kind of the quarter-
backs of the defense, Campo said.
While Campo is re-entering the
college game for the first time in
22 seasons, he is not unprepared.
Campo had the privilege to
coach under Jimmy Johnson
and Barry Switzer, the only
two coaches to win a National
Championship and a Super Bowl
as the coach of the team.
But there is another, much less
well-known coach who Campo
also believes deserves credit for
his success: University of Albany
coach Bob Ford.
Campo was a graduate assis-
tant under Ford and had to apply
against many applicants in a pro-
cess that was similar to applying
for a full-time coaching job.
He taught, every year, a new
set of graduate students how to
coach. We had to recruit. We
had to be the coach of the fresh-
man team in one of the freshman
games. We had to set up all the
travel, Campo said.
Now on the Kansas staff,
Campo thinks the group has the
chemistry and ability to thrive as
they attempt to turn around a pro-
gram that won five games over the
past two seasons.
When youre in the trenches,
youve got to have people who like
each other, Campo said. They
dont have to love each other, but
they certainly have to put their
egos in a drawer sometimes, and I
think hes got that group.

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
Indiana forward Christian Watford (2) is fouled by North Carolina Central forward Dominique Sutton as he drives around the top
of the key in the frst half of an NCaa college basketball game in bloomington, Ind., Wednesday, Feb. 22.
OMINGTON, Ind. Instead of
taking a bye, the Indiana Hoosiers
opted to play a non-conference
game Wednesday night.
It was almost as easy as taking
the day off.
Cody Zeller had 17 points and
seven rebounds and Victor Oladipo
scored 16 points, leading No. 23
Indiana to a 75-56 rout over North
Carolina Central.
The game was originally sched-
uled for Dec. 7, but when the confer-
ence schedule-makers dealt Indiana
two byes in less than two weeks dur-
ing league play, the Hoosiers asked
North Carolina Central to move the
game to late February.
The Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference school agreed, but it only
prolonged the inevitable. Indiana
(21-7) was too big, too strong, too
deep and too athletic for a foe in its
first season as a full-fledged Division
I member.
North Carolina Central (14-13)
went more than 9 minutes in the first
half without grabbing a rebound and
had only four during the final 15:09
of the first half.
Dominique Sutton scored 21
points to lead the Eagles and Emanuel
Chapman and Jeremy Ingram each
had 10 points, not nearly enough
to prevent North Carolina Central
from losing its third straight in the
series or dropping to 0-7 against
Big Ten schools since moving to
Division I.
The Eagles came into Wednesday
with five wins in their previous six
games.
Indiana coach Tom Crean wanted
the new date to prevent his team
from getting stale with so much
time off.
They werent.
Despite the lack of energy inside
Assembly Hall, the Hoosiers still
looked sharp. They shot 51 percent
from the field, outrebounded the
Eagles 35-16 and never let North
Carolina Central get close after
extending the lead to double digits
in the first half.
The Eagles rallied, closing to
28-18, but Indiana rebuilt a 39-26
halftime lead and never let up.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Jerian
Grant scored 20 points and No.
20 Notre Dame extended its win-
ning streak to nine games with
a 71-44 rout of West Virginia on
Wednesday night.
Scott Martin added 15 points
and Jack Cooley and Eric Atkins
had 13 each for the Irish, who
shot 61 percent. They outscored
the Mountaineers 41-16 in the
second half after leading by just
two points at the break.
The Irish (20-8, 12-3 Big East)
have not lost since Jan. 16 at
Rutgers and are 15-1 at the Purcell
Pavilion. Its the first time in pro-
gram history Notre Dame has won
nine straight Big East games.
The Mountaineers (17-11, 7-8)
have lost six of their last eight.
Kevin Jones had 15 points for
West Virginia, which shot just
31.5 percent and made only 6
of 27 field goal attempts after
halftime.
Notre Dames quickness began
to show in the first 5 minutes of
the second half after the Irish led
30-28 at halftime.
Atkins three-point play, a steal
leading to a dunk by Grant and
Grants 3-pointer after an offen-
sive rebound built a 10-point
lead. After a timeout, Atkins hit a
jumper and Martin connected on
a 3-pointer and the 17-4 run put
the Irish up 47-32.
Grant took off on a dunk
attempt with just less than 10
minutes to play and lost the ball
on his way to the rim. But he
hustled and came up with the ball
in the corner and hit a 3-pointer
to give the Irish a 58-35 lead.
West Virginias Darryl Bryant,
scoreless in the first meeting
between the teams, a 55-51 Irish
win in Morgantown on Feb. 8, had
10 points in the first half and none
in the second.

The same guy who every Kansas fan has been ragging
on fnally saved the day. He scored his second highest total
of the season with 21 points, 18 in the frst half, and led all
Kansas scorers. On a night when Robinson and Taylor were
lackluster offensively, Johnson kept the Jayhawks in front of
the aggies.

Robinson was frustrated throughout the night. He missed
seven of his 10 shots, many of which were near the basket, and
he fouled out with a technical that enraged coach Bill Self. He
still grabbed 13 rebounds and contributed to the stout defensive
effort in the frst half, but Robinson wasnt himself on Wednes-
day.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
As No. 4 Kansas (23-5, 13-2) has
ascended fromoverachiever to con-
tender, one player has been the typi-
cal scapegoat when things dont go
smoothly.
Its not guards Tyshawn Taylor
and Travis Releford, who have been
reliable options on both ends of the
foor. Its not forward Tomas Rob-
inson, who is a candidate for the na-
tional player of the year award, nor
center Jef Withey, who has elevated
his game and cut down on fouls.
It was guard Elijah Johnson,
who had hit just 27.9 percent of his
three-points shots in conference
play. Ten, on Wednesday night at
Reed Arena, Johnson ignored the
past, scoring 21 points and leading
his teamto a 66-58 victory over the
Texas A&MAggies.
Johnson, who didnt turn the ball
over once, said it was just like play-
ing in the park.
I needed to score for us tonight,
he said.
On a night when Taylor and
Robinson scored 22 points, 13.6
points fewer than their combined
conference-season average, Johnson
attackedthe Aggies witha quick frst
step and a balanced, accurate jump
shot.
I didnt realize he had 18 until I
got to the stat sheet, coach Bill Self
said of Johnsons frst-half scoring
total.
Afer the Maui Invitational, Self
said Johnson, who was scoreless
with seven turnovers against Florida
Atlantic on Nov. 30, sufered from
the HawaiianHangover. Whenthe
shots continued to rim in and out,
Self insisted that Johnsons shots fall
in practice, just not yet in games.
Johnson continually assured
doubters that hes too good of a
player to continue his cold shoot-
ing streak. He said it would only be
a matter of time until things would
change. By taking it to the hoop
early and getting lay-ups and free-
throwattempts, Johnson was able to
fnd a rhythmfromoutside.
On the frst play of the game,
Johnson drove with the ball to the
right side of the hoop and hit a
foater. Ten one minute later, he
knocked down a jump shot.
Weve kind of been waiting for
Elijah to come on, Taylor said. It
was good for him today to get a
little bit of confdence going into the
game Saturday.

MILWAUKEE Jae Crowder
scored 27 points and Darius
Johnson-Odom added 21 to
lead No. 10 Marquette to an
82-65 victory over Rutgers on
Wednesday night.
The win was the fourth
straight and 11th in 12 game for
the Golden Eagles (23-5, 12-3)
and it kept them tied for second
place in the Big East with No. 20
Notre Dame, which beat West
Virginia 71-44 on Wednesday.
The top four teams earn a dou-
ble-bye for the conference tour-
nament.
Crowder, named the Big East
player of the week Monday
for his career-high 29-point,
12-rebound effort against
Connecticut on Saturday, hit
11 of 14 shots, including two
3-pointers, and scored 14 points
in the second half.
Jerome Seagears had 14 points
and Gilvydas Biruta added 12
for Rutgers (12-16, 4-11), which
lost for the sixth straight time,
including three in a row to ranked
teams. The Scarlet Knights were
routed by Notre Dame on Feb.
15, but held its own against No.
2 Syracuse before losing 74-64
on Sunday.
Rutgers, which trailed nearly
the entire game, trimmed the
lead to 58-52 with 11:30 remain-
ing when Dane Miller scored on
an offensive rebound.
But Marquette responded with
a 12-2 run to push the lead to
72-54 with 7:40 remaining when
Johnson-Odom stole the ball
and scored on a dunk. Crowder
had six points during the run,
including a nifty reverse layup.
Rutgers, which had 23 turn-
overs, could get no closer than
14 points the rest of the way.
Marquette, which had 12 steals,
scored 31 points off the turn-
overs.
Vander Blue added 10 points
for Marquette.
The Golden Eagles, known for
their slow starts, jumped out fast
against Rutgers, hitting seven of
their first eight shots, including
three 3-pointers, and took a 21-6
lead when Todd Mayo scored
on a driving layup with 14:51
remaining.
But Rutgers used a 23-12 run
to trim the lead to 33-29 when
Miller scored on a driving layup
with 7:16 remaining.
Marquette ended the half on a
13-6 run for a 46-35 lead.
Johnson-Odom and Crowder
combined for 32 points in the
first half as Marquette forced 14
turnovers and scored 18 points
off them.
Marquette forward Davante
Gardner missed his sixth straight
game with a sprained left knee.

Syracuses Kris Joseph, left, shoots against South Floridas Augustus Gilchrist during the frst half of an NCAA college basket-
ball game in Syracuse, N.Y., Wednesday, Feb. 22.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Scoop Jar-
dine scored 15 points to help No.
2 Syracuse overcome a 13-point
frst-half defcit and beat South
Florida 56-48 on Wednesday
night.
Kris Joseph had 12 points and
nine rebounds for the Orange (28-
1, 15-1 Big East), who matched
school records for most regular-
season and conference victories
both set in 2009-10.
Anthony Collins scored 16
points for the Bulls, who en-
dured a 12:33 stretch without a
point spanning halfime. South
Florida (17-11, 10-5) had a four-
game winning streak snapped and
dropped to 1-9 against Syracuse.
Te game was decided in the
fnal 5 minutes, with the Orange
leading 47-46.
Jardine was fouled making a
layup with 4:04 lef. He completed
the three-point play, and Joseph
added two putbacks of his own
misses to seal the win.
It was a game of back-and-forth
runs.
South Florida took advantage of
Syracuses cold-shooting ofense
by opening an 18-5 lead 10:25
in when Augustus Gilchrist hit
a 10-footer from the paint. Afer
going 2-for-14 from the feld, the
Orange mounted a rally of their
own, scoring 26 straight points.
Te run began with Dion Wait-
ers scoring in the post to cut the
Bulls lead to 18-7 with 9:19 lef in
the frst half. And it ended with
Jardine scoring on the transition
2:05 into the second half to put
the Orange ahead 33-20.
Te Bulls werent done.
Afer missing 13 consecutive
attempts from the feld, Hugh
Robertson fnally scored 2:33 into
the second half. South Florida
eventually cut the lead to 5 on two
occasions, before going of on a
9-0 run, capped by Collins hitting
a 10-footer from the paint with
6:25 lef.
Tis marked only the second
time this season the Orange have
trailed by double digits. And the
only other time that happened
came in a 67-58 loss at Notre
Dame on Jan. 21.
Syracuse has now won eight in
a row since that loss.
Te Orange wore their one-time
only Nike-designed uniforms,
designated for teams who have
won a national title. Te jerseys
were gray ofcially, platinum
with an orange stripe down
each side.
And at frst glance, the uniforms
werent the only thing looking un-
usual about the Orange through
the frst 10 minutes of the frst
half. Tey opened hitting two of
their frst 14 attempts, and trailed
18-5 afer Augustus Gilchrist hit a
10-footer with 9:35 lef in the pe-
riod.
C.J. Fair fnished with 13 points
and was the only Orange player
to hit a feld goal going 2-for-
3 before Waiters scored in the
post with 9:19 lef to prompt the
run. Jardine hit a 3-point basket
from at least 25 feet to give Syra-
cuse momentum with 5:48, and
the crowd erupted 90 seconds
later when Jardine drove up the
lef wing on the transition and fed
Kris Joseph for an alley-oop, to
cut the Bulls lead to 20-18.
Syracuse was sluggish and sty-
mied by an aggressive Bulls de-
fense. And South Florida also set
the pace in the ofensive end with
a patient halfcourt style.
Down 24-20 at the break, South
Florida did hold an opponent to
under 30 points in the frst half for
the 24th time in 28 games. And
yet it was their lack of ofense that
cost the Bulls.
South Florida fnished 20 of 52
from the feld afer opening 9 of
11.

Home-court losing streak
ended against Philadelphia
HOUSTON Luis Scola had
19 points and 10 rebounds, Kyle
Lowry added 13 points and two
crucial three-point plays down the
stretch, and the Houston Rockets
beat the Philadelphia 76ers 93-87
on Wednesday night.
Kevin Martin scored 16 points
and Patrick Patterson added 12 off
the bench for the Rockets, whove
won three in a row and snapped
a four-game home-court losing
streak to Philadelphia.
Nikola Vucevic scored a career-
high 18 points and Thaddeus
Young had 15 for the 76ers, who
will head into the All-Star break
on a five-game losing streak. The
76ers lost for only the second time
in their past nine meetings with
Houston.
Philly was held without a
3-pointer for the first time this
season, missing all nine attempts.
The Rockets went 5 for 18 from
3-point range, with all but one of
the makes coming in the second
half.
The lead changed hands five
times in the final five minutes
before Lowry drove into Vucevic
for a layup, drew the foul and made
the free throw for an 86-84 lead.
Louis Williams made a free throw
with 1:38 remaining, but Lowry
then converted another three-
point play with 59 seconds left to
make it 89-85.
Williams slipped on the baseline
in front of the Houston bench,
the 76ers 13th turnover, and the
Rockets hit their free throws in the
last minute to preserve the victory.
Lowry also had eight rebounds
and Chandler Parsons scored 12
points for the Rockets. Williams
scored 17 points for the 76ers.
Both teams shot poorly early,
and neither had scored 10 points
midway through the first quarter.
Lowry left four minutes into the
game and limped to the locker
room with athletics trainer Keith
Jones.
Houston found its shooting
touch first and took a 19-16 lead.
Lowry returned to the bench with
Jones in the last minute of the
quarter, and was back on the floor
for the start of the second.
The bad shooting and slop-
py offense continued, with the
Rockets leading only 28-27 with
less than six minutes left before
the break. At that point, Vucevic
had 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting,
while the rest of the 76ers had 17
points on 7-of-26 shooting.
Philadelphia also had five turn-
overs in the second quarter to fuel
a late Rockets spurt. Goran Dragic
hit a 3-pointer early in a 13-4 burst
and Houston built a 10-point lead.
The 76ers answered with a quick
8-2 spurt to trail 45-41 at halftime.
The Rockets picked up the
offensive pace in the third quarter,
stretching the lead to eight points.
The 76ers attacked Houstons small
lineup inside, answering with a
10-0 run that gave them a 56-54
lead.
Houston went cold late in the
third quarter, and mustered only
16 points on 7-for-17 shooting. The
76ers scored 14 of their 24 third-
quarter points in the paint and led
65-61 heading to the fourth.
Martin swished back-to-back
3-pointers near the nine-minute
mark to keep Houston within
three. After Thaddeus Young
scored inside, Martin hit another
3 and Patterson scored to tie it at
75-all.
Notes: The Rockets have won
24 consecutive games when hold-
ing their opponent to less than
90 points. ... Lowry missed his
first free-throw attempt, after mak-
ing his previous 25. ... The 76ers
dropped to 7-2 in the second game
of back-to-back sets this season. ...
Philly coach Doug Collins couldnt
give a timetable for Spencer Hawes
return from a left Achilles strain.
Collins said Hawes will visit a doc-
tor in Los Angeles during the All-
Star break and wear a protective
boot.

MARANA, Ariz. Luke Donald
wont be playing the 18th hole at
Dove Mountain this year, either.
Donald, so dominant in win-
ning the Match Play Championship
last year that he closed out every
match before the 18th hole, became
only the third No. 1 seed to lose in
the opening round Wednesday in
another predictably crazy day on
Dove Mountain.
Ernie Els, who only got into the
64-man field when Phil Mickelson
took his family on a ski vacation,
delivered the biggest shocker in the
first round with a 5-and-4 victory.
I dont think it would have mat-
tered who I played today. I just didnt
play well, Donald said. I struggled.
I gave away too many holes and
made too many mistakes. You cant
do that in match play against any-
one, let alone Ernie.
Tiger Woods nearly found that
out against Gonzalo Fernandez-
Castano.
Woods had to play left-handed
in one of his three journeys into the
desert. He trailed the Spaniard with
four holes to play, and both of them
looked beatable. That changed when
Woods drove the par-5 15th green to
win with a two-putt birdie, won the
16th with a par and then closed out
the Spaniard with an 8-foot par putt
for a 1-up win.
We both made our share of mis-
takes, theres no doubt about that,
said Woods. But somehow, I was
able to move on.
That was the only objective in
this World Golf Championship, a
single-elimination format in which
the only proper use of the word
upset is the mood of the 32 guys
who are headed home.
Among them:
Ian Poulter, the Match Play
winner two years ago, suffered his
worst loss in nine appearances when
Bae Sang-moon beat him, 4 and 3.
Bill Haas, coming off that
monster win at Riviera just three
days ago, looked like a winner when
he was 1 up on the 17th green
and had a 5-foot birdie putt. Ryo
Ishikawa holed from 18 feet, Haas
missed, and the Japanese star made
par on the 18th to win.
In the most thrilling match
of the opening round, Jim Furyk
was on the verge of sending Dustin
Johnson home early for the fourth
straight year when Johnson hit his
tee shot into the desert and had to
take a penalty drop on the 20th hole.
Furyk chipped across the green and
three-putted for bogey to lose.
Rafael Cabrera-Bello was 3 up
with three holes to play against Jason
Day when he bogeyed three straight
holes, and Day beat him with a
4-foot birdie putt on the 19th hole.
The other top seeds didnt have
too many problems.
U.S. Open champion Rory
McIlroy won four straight holes on
the back nine to seize control against
George Coetzee. He was 2 up with
two holes to play. Lee Westwood
never trailed in his 3-and-1 win
over Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium.
The test for Westwood comes on
Thursday against Robert Karlsson,
when he tries to advance to the
third round for the first time. Martin
Kaymer easily dispatched Greg
Chalmers, while Steve Stricker out-
lasted Kevin Na.
McIlroy and Westwood now have
a chance to replace Donald at No. 1
in the world with a win this week.
Donald will head home to Florida
to shake off a poor start to his
season.
A year after becoming the first
player to win money titles on the
PGA and European tours, he was
not a factor at Abu Dhabi or Riviera,
and this the first time hes had three
straight events out of the top 30
since August 2009.
Im not sure where to start,
Donald said. I just didnt play very
well. Its disappointing. Ive been
working really hard. To lose con-
trol of the golf ball like I did today
is really frustrating, but I believe
the hard work will start paying off
soon.
Fernandez-Castano got some
attention this week for saying Woods
was beatable and not at his best.
Hes beatable, too, Woods replied,
and the way they played, both were
right.
Woods lost the opening two holes
and looked as though he might
fall 3 down until making a 10-foot
par save. Woods won three of the
next five holes, one of them with a
50-foot birdie putt, and thats when
the match became a case of give-
and-take.
Woods was on the verge of going
2 up until he three-putted the ninth
and Fernandez-Castano got up-and-
down for bogey. Three holes later,
Woods had to make a par to avoid
falling 2 down.
He wasnt wild all the time, but
it cost him when he was a left-
handed shot out of the desert on
No. 2, too much club that sent him
over the 11th green and into the
desert. But he settled down right
about the time the Spaniard began
to struggle with the putter, missing
putts inside 10 feet on the 15th and
16th holes that enabled Woods to
take the lead.
I think if there was one day
to beat Tiger Woods, this was it,
Fernandez-Castano said. I didnt
take the opportunity. I missed a few
shots. And of course, you cant miss
spots if you want to beat one of the
greatest in history.
Sporting Kansas City

son in which he scored fve goals and
added nine assists.
The 25-year-old Zusi also had a ca-
reer-best 35 appearances while gaining

Police escorted bloodied pas-
sengers to ambulances, cordoned
off the street near a stricken
London subway station and
rushed off to find a half-explod-
ed knapsack.
But it was all just an Olympic
security drill.
Britains police, fire and ambu-
lance services tested their ability
Wednesday to deal with a ter-
rorist attack during the London
Olympics, swooping on a dis-
used subway station for a drill
that revived painful memories
of the 2005 bomb attacks on
Londons transit system.
The two-day test called
Forward Defensive started
at the Aldwych subway station,
which has been closed to com-
muters since 1994. The London
Underground maintains the sta-
tion so it can be used in movies
and rented for parties. Its narrow
staircases, looping track, tunnel
and platform make it the perfect
location to simulate dealing with
an emergency in close quarters.
If there are mistakes, this
is the time to make them, not
when theres a real incident, said
British Transport Police spokes-
man Simon Lubin.
For participants, the test
evoked memories of the July 7,
2005, London transit attacks,
when four suicide bombers killed
52 commuters on three subway
trains and a bus. That attack
came a day after London was
awarded the 2012 Olympics.
One of the primary areas under
review was the communications
ability of emergency workers,
different police services, govern-
ment ministers and transport
officials. Official reports and an
inquest had criticized the emer-
gency services response to the
2005 bombings.
I think we have obviously
since that event (the 2005 attack)
learned a number of lessons, said
Howard Collins, chief operating
officer of London Underground.
A lot of investment has hap-
pened, not only in the Tube but
also in those emergency services,
new radio systems, new equip-
ment. So we are going to see all
those new things tested.
The security exercise involving
2,500 people simulated an attack
on one of the busiest days during
the 2012 London Olympics.

Pierce and Garnett win
11th straight at home
OKLAHOMA CITY Russell
Westbrook scored 31 points,
Kevin Durant added 28 and the
Oklahoma City Thunder beat
the Boston Celtics 119-104 on
Wednesday night for their 11th
straight win at home.
Kevin Garnetts return after a
two-game absence wasnt enough
to lift the Celtics, who were still
without point guard Rajon Rondo
as he served the second game of a
two-game suspension.
Paul Pierce and Garnett scored
23 points apiece to lead Boston,
and Garnett also had 13 rebounds
after missing the previous two
games for personal reasons. The
Celtics head into the All-Star break
on their second five-game losing
streak of the season, both punctu-
ated by losses to Oklahoma City.
Boston trailed by as many as
27 in the third quarter before ral-
lying to get within 108-102 after
Pierces free throw with 3:31 left.
Durant banked in a pair of jump-
ers and hit two free throws during
an 11-2 run to close the game for
Oklahoma City.
The Thunder took control with
a mammoth 30-3 run that car-
ried over into the second quarter,
including a span of 21 consecutive
points, and eventually pushed their
lead to 83-56 after Daequan Cooks
3-pointer from the left corner with
7:07 left in the third quarter.
The Celtics cut their deficit in
half with a 16-4 run to finish the
third, with much of the damage
coming after Durant picked up
his fourth foul and went to the
bench with just under 3 minutes
remaining.
Ray Allens jumper to start the
fourth quarter got Boston within
94-82 but there was still too much
room to make up.
Boston got as close as six fol-
lowing an 11-2 run that came dur-
ing a stretch when two Oklahoma
City players were called for tech-
nical fouls. Kendrick Perkins got
one after fouling out, and Serge
Ibaka got one soon after replacing
Perkins.
The Thunder got it back togeth-
er to finish it out, ending up with
a 43-32 advantage on the boards
including only three offensive
rebounds for Boston and 27
fast-break points, one off their sea-
son best. The 119 points were also
one shy of their most in regulation
this season.
Cook and James Harden
chipped in 17 points apiece for
Oklahoma City. Backup power
forward Nick Collison missed his
second straight game with left
quad contusion.
Allen scored 21, Mickael Pietrus
16 and Avery Bradley 12 as all five
Boston starters reached double
figures. The bench provided only
nine points.
Oklahoma City missed nine of
its first 10 shots and quickly fell
behind 15-5, then could hardly
miss for the rest of the first half.
The Thunder made 18 of 23 shots
during their most impressive
stretch, making that early deficit
nothing but an afterthought.
By the time Harden hit a
3-pointer to end the first quarter,
it was a 10-point margin in the
opposite direction at 35-25 and
that was only the beginning.
The Thunder put together a
30-3 surge spanning the break
between the first two quarters,
including the final 21 points in
a row. That was one point better
than the 20-0 run Oklahoma City
put together against Denver three
nights earlier in a game that ended
up going to overtime.

Magic beats Nets
for 9th straight time
NeWArK, N.J. Dwight Howard had
20 points and 17 rebounds and the or-
lando Magic rolled to a 108-91 victory
over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday
night.
Howard, who can become a free
agent in July if the Magic dont trade
him by the March 15 trading deadline,
got the loudest cheers from the crowd of
15,364 in the pregame introductions.
And the center didnt disappoint in
leading the Magic to their ninth straight
win over the Brooklyn-bound Nets.
Glen Davis, who hit his frst seven
shots, added 16 points for orlando,
which won for the eighth time in 11
games.
Deron Williams had 23 points, six
rebounds and eight assists to lead New
Jersey, which headed into the All-Star
breaking having lost 8 of 11. rookie
MarShon Brooks added a game-high
24, while Brook Lopez had 15 in his sec-
ond game of the season after recovering
from a broken right foot.
Associated Press
Just 16 days ago, the Kansas
womens basketball team was
ranked in the ESPN/USA Today
Coaches Poll and received votes
from the Associated Press. Kansas
lost to defending national champion
Texas A&M, but bounced back with
a victory over Texas at home.
Then, five days later junior for-
ward Carolyn Davis tore her ACL
and dislocated her left knee. Kansas
went on to lose at Kansas State, at
Iowa State and at home to a previ-
ously conference winless Missouri.
Two weeks later, Kansas ended
the three-game losing streak and
reignited hope in a possible NCAA
bid with a 69-64 victory over Texas
Tech.
Youve got to be able to stay off
the roller coaster, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said.
This latest stretch has been a
complicated conglomeration of
excited tweets and teary-eyed
press conferences, but Tuesday
night brought some relief for the
Jayhawks. However, they know they
cannot stop now.
We wanted it, junior guard
Angel Goodrich said. We kind of
hurt ourselves the last couple games
and right now we have to want it a
lot more than the other teams and
we have to want it every day even in
practice.
The Jayhawks have taken inspira-
tion from Davis, who motivated
the team from the sideline. Davis
was the leading scorer and an All-
American candidate before the
injury.
We all wanted to win for
Carolyn since she cant play, sopho-
more guard CeCe Harper said. We
are focused on playing for her and
playing for each other and getting
the win.
When a team loses a player
like Davis, it brings changes. The
scouting changed with the loss of
height from Davis who measures at
6-foot-3 and the loss of experience
she brought as an upper classman
and captain.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said
they are not reinventing the wheel
with her gone, but she said the
focus has been on changing things
to rely on their other All-American
candidate Goodrich even more.
Goodrich led the Jayhawks in scor-
ing, rebounding and assists Tuesday
night and set the programs single-
season assist record.
But she is not alone. Senior
forward Aishah Sutherland has
scored in double figures in each of
the three games since the injury.
Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner
stepped in for Davis and CeCe
Harper took over a starting posi-
tion. Seven of the nine healthy play-
ers recorded more than 14 minutes.
Kansas has three more regular
season games, and needs to win two
to have a solid shot at the tourna-
ment. Goodrich said the team is
playing with their hearts and that is
the biggest strength.
This is the first year where I feel
like we can do something special,
Goodrich said. We are a special
team and especially with everything
we have been through. This team
fights and that is all we want to do
is stick together and show people
what we have and what we can do.
