sound of silenCe
The noise level inside Allen
Fieldhouse often exceeds that of
a chain saw, according to an ar-
ticle titled What Causes Hear-
ing Loss recently published in
The New York Times. Exposure
to noise, rather than aging, is the
leading cause of hearing loss, ac-
cording to the article.
Michelle Mason, a gradu-
ate student from Price, Utah
working on her masters degree
in speech-language pathology,
takes extra precautions to pre-
vent hearing loss later in life.
I make sure my music volume
is lower, Mason said. Ive even
started taking ear plugs when I
go clubbing.
When listening to music, Ma-
son uses her pink headphones,
which pose less risk for hearing
damage compared to ear buds,
she said.
To avoid hearing loss, the vol-
ume of an iPod should be at 60
percent of the maximum level,
according to Kostas Kokkinakis,
assistant professor of speech-
language-hearing.
While Kokkinakis knows of
no study confirming the noise
level at Allen Fieldhouse will
cause hearing loss, he said stu-
dents should try to minimize
their overexposure to noise.
If you listen to your music too
loud now, nothing happens tem-
porarily, Kokkinakis said. But
cumulatively over the course of
your lifetime, you might be at
a higher risk of affecting your
hearing health.
Hearing loss among ado-
lescents has already increased,
according to The Third Na-
tional Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey published
by the American Medical As-
sociation. Hearing impairment
today affects nearly 30 million
people, according to the Depart-
ment of Labor.
Musicians may also be at risk
for exposure to high sound pres-
sure levels, according to research
conducted by Sheri Cook-Cun-
ningham, a graduate student
from Leawood.
While her research shows mu-
sic venues can expose performers
to up to two and a half times the
recommended maximum noise
dosage, Cook-Cunningham cau-
tions there is no conclusive evi-
dence musicians have sustained
greater hearing loss.
We want people to be aware
of potential exposure to high
sound pressure levels, Cook-
Cunningham said. But we dont
want them to think they are nec-
essarily going deaf.
Gradual hearing loss can oc-
cur with repeated exposure to
loud sounds, said Angie Reeder,
audiologist at the University.
Once this damage to the
cochleas sensory cells has oc-
curred, there is no cure or regen-
eration of sensory cells, Reeder
said. So, the hearing loss and
tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
may become permanent.
Reeder recommends that peo-
ple have their hearing checked
regularly and consult resources,
including the Center for Disease
Controls website, to help deter-
mine their noise exposure.
We have discounted the
damage that may be occurring

Tis spring will be especially
unpleasant for seasonal allergy
suferers.
Te late snowfall means that
the trees, fowers and other fora
that typically bloom early in the
spring will instead bloom with
the rest of the fora later in the
season. With everything bloom-
ing at once, this means that the
typical spring allergy season will
be dramatically worse. Allergy
suferers are not pleased with the
severe symptoms they are already
feeling.
Jeni Arbuckle, a freshman
from McPherson said that the
pollen in the air has triggered her
symptoms frequently.
Pollen is the main source of
all the problems most people
have with seasonal allergies so
theres tons of people, myself
included, that are just dying be-
cause of how high the levels have
been recently, Arbuckle said.
Te Lawrence area has been
under a tree pollen advisory sev-
eral times in the past couple of
weeks. Arbuckle said she had to
step up her tactics in her efort to
stop her symptoms.
Ive been using eye drops,
cough drops, and Benadryl. Im
taking Zyrtec just about every
morning. Afer a week or two
of taking it consistently, theres a
pretty noticeable change in the
harshness of your symptoms,
Arbuckle said.
Kalen Stockton, a freshman
from Topeka, is also feeling this
springs efects.
I almost never sufer from
allergies, especially in April, but
this year Im sneezing every fve
seconds, Stockton said.
Stockton said her symptoms
are so unpleasant that she cannot
compare what she is experiencing
to anything she has felt before.
My symptoms started about
a week ago, a few days afer the
spring break snow. Im sneezing
like crazy very violently. I have
a sore throat and scratchy voice,
and my eyes are very watery. Te
symptoms are defnitely worse
up here on the hill with all this
wind, Stockton said.
Students who are experienc-
ing symptoms severe enough to
disrupt their daily life and school
work are encouraged to talk to a
doctor at Watkins Health Center
to see what is causing their aller-
gies to fare up and what they can
do to end the sufering.

The University Daily Kansan
advertising staff is the Best Ad-
vertising Staff in the nation for
the third year in a row, according
to College Newspaper Business
and Advertising Managers, Inc.
The staff traveled to San Diego
over the weekend to network with
other college advertisers and pro-
fessionals and to compete in vari-
ous competitions.
Winning Best Ad Staff in the
Nation this year is a tremen-
dous accomplishment, said Ross
Newton, the Kansans marketing
manager. I am so very lucky I
was able to lead such an amazing
group of individuals that contin-
ually come together to make the
Famsan.
Newton, a senior from Olathe,
took first place in the CNBAM
Saturday Morning Sell-Off com-
petition. During the sell-off, stu-
dents participate in a mock sales
call in front of a panel of three
judges. Each contestant is given
one sales scenario and has five to
eight minutes to successfully sell
to the client.
This is the Kansans third con-
secutive victory in the Saturday
Morning Sell-Off. Previous Kan-
san winners are Lorin Jetter, a
2012 alumna, and Joe Garvey, a
2010 alumnus.
CNBAM also awarded Newton
third place in the Manager of the
Year category for his experience
as Kansan business manager dur-
ing the 2012 summer and fall se-
mesters.
Tim Shedor, a junior from
Overland Park, was awarded first
place for Designer of the Year.
Shedor worked for the Kansan as
a web designer and technical edi-
tor. He redesigned Kansan.com
and developed a digital rate card
that was awarded first place for
Best Digital Rate Card.
Its a great honor, Shedor said
about the award. More people
should learn how to code. You
learn the most outside the class-
room.
Shedor has also worked at the
Brockton Creative Group as an
interactive developer, the United
Nations as a virtual intern, Po-
liticalFiber.com as the technical
editor and as a student web pro-

STATE
Legislature considering cuts to higher education
MaTTHeW JoHnSon
mjohnson@kansan.com
Faced with a looming budget
shortfall, the Kansas legislature
has been considering whether or
not it will cut funding to high-
er education institutions across
Kansas for fiscal year 2014.
The House wants to cut 4 per-
cent of state funding to higher
education while the Senate has
proposed only a 2 percent reduc-
tion. Gov. Sam Brownbacks bud-
get proposal would keep higher
education funding at its current
level.
Timothy Caboni, the Universitys
Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs,
agrees with Brownbacks percep-
tion of higher education as an
engine of economic growth for
the state and advises against fur-
ther cuts.
The governor has been very
clear that higher education is a
partner in growing the economy
of Kansas. The innovation mis-
sion, entrepreneurial spirit and
trained workforce all of these
things are necessary for our
economy to grow, Caboni said.
Were the largest incubator in the
Midwest.
Caboni also pointed to the ben-
efits provided by the University
that are difficult to measure on a
balance sheet.
Some of these discoveries dont
produce any measurable return
for 10 or 15 years, Caboni said.
What is the value, or return, on
having an educated populace?
What is the value of medical
breakthroughs or works of art that
can only be produced at a flagship
university?
According to Caboni, although
state funding only constitutes
about one-fifth of the Universitys
total revenue, a 4 percent dip
would cost the University millions
of dollars $20.3 million, to be
exact.
If the deepest cuts are approved,
it would mean an $11.4 million
reduction for the University of
Kansas Medical Center and an
$8.9 million reduction across the
Universitys other departments
and programs.
Michael Lynch, political sci-
ence professor and coordinator of
the Universitys Topeka internship
program this semester, explained
the political rationale behind cut-
ting funding to universities, as
well as the impact the cuts will
probably have on University stu-
dents.
It seems likely that tuition will
go up from this cut, Lynch said.
If you cut K-12 funding, they
dont have the money, and theres
no way to make it up. Politically,
its more feasible to cut fund-
ing from an institution that has
another way of getting money.
In just more than 14 years,
state funding to the University
has declined by $124.4 million.
Caboni explained the effect of this
reduction on each University stu-
dent.
The funding for the University
today is below its 2006 level,
Caboni said. If you take it in
constant dollars, weve gone from
$371.3 million in fiscal year 1999
to $246.9 million in 2014. If you
look at those figures per student,
its 15,000 per student in 1999 and
9,000 per student in 2013. As you
can imagine, that puts tremendous
pressure on the institution.
Lynch also noted the combined
impact of state and national cuts
to higher education.
If you get continued cuts from
state aid, you have to have tuition
increases and larger classes.
Theres also a cut at the national
level from sequestration, so its
hard for the school to eat all that,
Lynch said. It will affect salaries,
it will affect the recruiting of fac-
ulty and it will affect our ability to
retain faculty.
Caboni said the University has
done as much as it can to limit
waste and maintain quality.
When youre talking about
this kind of reduction, there is no
more fat to cut, Caboni said.

ations. Solo
Cup Culture:
Minimizing
the Risks
of an Alcohol-Soaked Campus
Climate hopes to address that.
The third-annual Jason Wren
Initiative Underage Drinking
Education Seminar will be tomor-
row, presented by the University
of Kansas chapter of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon Fraternity and Delta Gama
Sorority.
When SAE member Jason Wren
died from alcohol poisoning in
2009, his fraternity brothers
created the Jason Wren Initiative
to honor his memory and raise
awareness of irresponsible drinking
and how to deal with those who are
negatively affected by alcohol.
Coming out of such a tragic
event, it was an eye opener, looking
towards where we see collegiate
culture of irresponsible drinking,
said Robert Aaby. We wanted to
take a stand against that and
move into a more positive culture.
Robert Aaby, a junior from
Wichita double-majoring in com-
munication studies and journalism,
is SAEs Jason Wren Event Chair.
SAE, he said, is raising awareness
and taking measures to prevent ir-
responsible drinking, as evidenced
by this semesters transition into a
dry house, meaning no alcohol is
permitted on SAE property.
More than anything, we want
to preach the dangers of irrespon-
sible drinking and how to go about
drinking in a responsible way,
Aaby said.
As a DJ, a Redbull Representative
and a Delta Tau Delta fraternity
member at Ohio State University,
Jake Byczkowski, this years keynote
speaker, has attended a few par-
ties. Sharing stories of dangerous
encounters due to his own problem
drinking, Byczkowski discusses
bystander intervention and harm
reduction.
We felt that he obviously had a
face-to-face experience with a lot
of binge drinking through DJ-ing so
hed be very qualifed to talk on the
subject, Aaby said.
The seminar, presented in Budig
Auditorium 120 from 6:30 to 8:30
p.m. tomorrow, will be free of
charge.

MANCHESTER, N.H. A
man who took hostages at a Hillary
Rodham Clinton presidential cam-
paign ofce in 2007 escaped from
a minimum-security correctional
facility on Sunday, authorities said.
Leeland Eisenberg was discov-
ered missing during an afernoon
head count at the Calumet Transi-
tional Housing Unit in Manchester,
state Department of Corrections
spokesman Jef Lyons said.
Eisenberg was sentenced in May
2010 to 3 1/2 to 7 years for proba-
tion violations. Te 52-year-old
would have been eligible for parole
in August.
Once he is found, he will be
charged with escape, a felony pun-
ishable by 3 to 7 years in prison,
Lyons said. Eisenberg isnt consid-
ered armed.
Eisenberg spent about two years
behind bars for the November 2007
siege at Clintons Rochester cam-
paign ofce in which he claimed to
have a bomb. No one was hurt in
a fve-hour standof and the bomb
turned out to be road fares.
At his arraignment in that case,
public defender Randy Hawkes
portrayed Eisenberg as a man at
the end of his rope emotionally af-
ter being repeatedly turned down
when he sought psychiatric help.
Eisenberg heard voices and saw
a movie in his head telling him he
had to sacrifce himself to shine
light on the faws in the health care
system, Hawkes said.
Eisenberg was released on pro-
bation in November 2009. His frst
violation occurred soon afer his
release, when he failed to charge
his monitoring bracelet. He was
incarcerated in January 2010 afer
failing to take mandatory alcohol
breath tests.
In February 2010, he cut of his
electronic monitoring bracelet and
fed, a day afer being given a last
chance at freedom by a judge who
released him despite multiple pro-
bation violations. He was found in
his Dover apartment the next day.
Eisenbergs long criminal record
also includes two rape convictions.
He was sentenced to 10 years for
rape in Worcester, Mass., in 1985
but escaped the next year and com-
mitted another rape, prosecutors
said. He was sentenced to 11 to 20
years for that. He was released from
prison in March 2005.

Te Ofce of Graduate Military
Programs announced the winners
of the frst-ever Wounded Warrior
Scholarship, which serves to pro-
vide fnancial assistance to injured
veterans and primary caregivers.
Te winners, Anthony Schmie-
deler and Jennifer Tornton, have
both felt the efects of post-traumat-
ic stress disorder (PTSD). Schmie-
deler, a junior from Kansas City,
Kan., was diagnosed with the con-
dition afer serving in the Marine
Corps and being deployed to Iraq
twice. Torntons husband, Jason,
was also diagnosed with PTSD afer
serving in the Army and returning
from two combat tours in Iraq.
According to Tornton, a gradu-
ate student from San Diego who was
accepted into the School of Social
Welfare for fall 2013, she was able
to notice a change in her husband
immediately afer he returned home
with his unit.
PTSD manifests itself difer-
ently in diferent people. For a lot of
people, it takes some time for it to
fester to the surface, Tornton said.
For him, it was right away. He came
home in September, and by Christ-
mas he was nonresponsive and shut-
ting the whole world out.
Schmiedeler also started to see
changes in himself that resulted
from PTSD.
When I got out, I was having a
lot of trouble transitioning. I was
having a lot of anxiety problems; I
had trouble sleeping, Schmiedeler
said.
It started to have such an efect
on his life that Schmiedeler decided
to seek help. Bill Steele, program
assistant for the Ofce of Graduate
Military Programs, read about some
of his experiences in the letter that
Schmiedeler submitted while apply-
ing for the scholarship.
When Anthony frst got out of
the military, he had a very difcult
readjustment period. I remember
he said in his letter that just walking
from the parking lot to the building
where he was taking his class would
result in terrible anxiety and para-
noia, to the point where he felt like
he was going to have a major break-
down, Steele said.
While the adjustment for veter-
ans from military to civilian life can
be difcult, Steele says the scholar-
ship can give some help to veterans
who need it.
It can be very expensive, time-
consuming and frustrating to deal
with the long process of recovery
that some of these soldiers have to
go through, Steele said. It has a
tremendous impact on the family.
Tis scholarship is just one thing
that can alleviate some of that pain
and stress.
Schmiedeler plans to obtain his
degree in graphic design and begin
work as a professional graphic de-
signer. He hopes that one day he will
be able to start his own design frm.
Tornton will begin coursework
towards a Master of Social Work
in fall 2013, and plans to work with
wounded warriors and their families
afer she completes the program.

Gaza police investigated for shaving peoples heads
ASSOCIAtED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Po-
lice in Hamas-ruled Gaza have
started grabbing young men with
long or gel-styled spiky hair of the
streets, bundling them into jeeps,
mocking them and shaving their
heads, a rights group said Sunday
It is the latest sign that the Is-
lamic militants are imposing their
strict practices on the population.
Hamas has been slowly forcing
its fundamentalist interpretation of
Islam on already conservative Gaza
since it overran the territory in
2007. Te new crackdown on long
hair and tight or low-waist pants
in several cases accompanied by
beatings appears to be one of the
most aggressive phases of the cam-
paign so far.
Te crackdown began last week,
and two of those targeted told Te
Associated Press said they were
rounded up in separate sweeps in
Gaza City that included more than
two dozen young men.
House painter Ayman al-Sayed,
19, had shoulder-length hair before
police grabbed him and shaved his
head Tursday.
Te only thing I want to do is
leave this country, said al-Sayed,
who despite his ordeal defantly
wore stylish but outlawed narrow-
leg tan khakis Sunday. I am scared.
Tey just take you from the street
without reason. I dont know what
they are going to do next.
Hamas ofcials played down the
campaign a stance adopted in
the past that allows the group to
distance itself from a controversial
crackdown while at the same time
instilling fear in those it targeted.
Ziad al-Zaza, the
deputy prime min-
ister of Gaza, said
the head-shaving
was a very lim-
ited, isolated be-
havior of the police
and is not going to
continue.
Te Palestinian
Center for Human
Rights called on
Hamas to investigate the arbitrary
detentions and violations of civil
rights of civilians.
Te hair crackdown came just
days afer the Hamas-run parlia-
ment in Gaza passed an education
bill mandating separate classrooms
for boys and girls from the age of
nine.
Gender separation is already
widely practiced in Gaza schools,
as it is in the West Bank, where
Hamas rival Mahmoud Abbas, the
Western-backed Palestinian presi-
dent, administers some areas.
Enshrining such separation in
law marked another step forward
in Hamas campaign of imposing
Islamic practice.
Since seizing Gaza from Abbas
six years ago, Hamas has moved
gradually in spreading its ultra-
conservative version of Islam. It has
issued rules restricting women or
requiring them
to cover up in
the traditional
Islamic dress of
long robes and
headscar ves,
but relented
if met by pro-
tests.
Last month,
the Hamas
gove r nme nt
barred girls and women from
participating in a U.N.-sponsored
marathon, prompting a U.N. aid
agency to cancel the race. Hamas
activists have also exerted social
pressure to get all school girls to
wear Islamic dress.
Al-Sayed, the house painter, and
17-year-old high school student
Tareq Naqib said Sunday that they
were targeted by police in separate
incidents Tursday.
Al-Sayed said he had just fn-
ished his work in Gaza City and
was waiting at an intersection for
a shared taxi when a police jeep
approached. Al-Sayed said he was
thrown into the jeep with more
than 10 others already squeezed
into the back of the vehicle. He said
policemen cursed them on the way
to the police station.
Tere, the detainees were lined
up, and a policeman began shaving
their heads. He shaved two lines,
from front to back and from one
ear to the other, telling the young
men they could fnish the job at a
neighborhood barber shop.
Tose who resisted were beaten,
al-Sayed said. He said he asked the
policeman to fnish the job of shav-
ing so he wouldnt have to step out-
side with a partially shaved head.
A young man came into the po-
lice station, saying he was looking
for his cousin, said al-Sayed. One
of the ofcers grabbed the young
man, who had his hair in gel-styled
spikes, and shaved his head as well.
Naqib, the high school student,
said he was seized outside his home
and put in a police jeep along with
four young men who had come to
Gaza City from the southern town
of Khan Younis.
On the way to the police station,
police insulted them and warned
them that Gaza is Islamic, said
Naqib.
Tey said, we want you to re-
spect our tradition, Naqib said.
Tey made a cross on our heads
and asked us to leave and fnish the
shaving at a barber shop.
Naqibs family is originally from
Tunisia, and he said he wants to go
back there afer he fnishes high
school.
In another incident, a Gaza teen,
who spoke on condition of ano-
nymity for fear of retribution, said
he saw police beat three young men
in downtown Gaza City for wearing
tight, low-rise pants. Te witness
said the policemen beat the three
with clubs on the backs of their
knees and told passers-by watching
the scene to move along.
Ahmed Yousef, a Hamas fgure
identifed with the more pragmatic
wing of the movement, said the po-
lice behavior is absolutely wrong
and must stop. Hamas is ofen di-
vided over such campaigns, but the
pragmatists have been unable to
stop the more zealous members.
Hamas is also competing with
the even more fundamentalist
Salafs, a movement that has gained
strength and popularity in Gaza in
recent years. Salafs have criticized
Hamas for not implementing Is-
lamic law in Gaza quickly enough.

they just take you from

the street without reason.
I dont know what they are
going to do next.

I
t has recently come to my
attention that if I wish to
get my most extreme beliefs
turned into law, all I have to do
is put the words defense of
before them. Sure, the method
isnt fool-proof yet, but I figure
if enough far-right Republicans
have their way, all of our laws
will read like that.
After all, we started with
the Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA), which has been so
unsurprisingly controversial.
As more of the country grows
to accept or act in favor of
the LGTBQIA community,
DOMA falters and seems to be
crumbling slowly. Yet theres
something in the name its
not called the we dont believe
homosexual people have legal
rights act or the we hate gay
marriage act, yet its really the
same thing. So its not so much
the deed that the act does, but
the name the act has.
Clearly I wasnt the first to fig-
ure this out, because two Rowan
County representatives in North
Carolina recently decided to
give the Defense of trend a
go. These men are now push-
ing for the Defense of Religion
Act (which I shall hereafter call
DORA), which would allow
prayer in public institutions,
including county commission
meetings and schools. It has also
been suggested that it would
reopen the debate about the line
of separation between church
and state.
For as long as I can remem-
ber, the line between church
and state has always been more
of a wall. Its never been a line
I thought someone could acci-
dentally cross. Whats interesting
is that Kansas legislators have
been itching to destroy the line
altogether and have made only a
little progress, most of which has
been labeled by the rest of the
country as radical. While DORA
seems to be getting a similarly
negative response, it has raised
the question of where the line
between church and state really
sits and has caused many to pull
out a constitution and check
for themselves. In the few days
since it was suggested, DORA
has gone viral as an example of
radicalism and a threat to the
first amendment. Even if its just
to gather viewers, the national
news media has already caused
quite a scare, and at the time
this article was written, it had
only been two days since the
proposed act was first noticed.
So whats different? The name.
Which brings me back to my
point. Any belief can become
law if you are defending your
belief rather than attacking
someone elses. The key is in the
wording. By defending mar-
riage and religion, two sacred
rights in our country, the pro-
posers come off as worried indi-
viduals rather than nosy busy-
bodies. It doesnt matter what
the act actually does as long as
the name sounds patriotic.
I figured I should try out this
new naming trend. Who knows?
Maybe a Kansas legislator will
see it and try to put it into
action. Ive already named it for
them, after all.
1) Defense of Freedom Act
(DOFA) All people have the
right to do everything they want
whenever they want however
they want. Anarchy shall rule.
2) Defense of Parents Act
(DOPA) It would be recog-
nized that parents know every-
thing and should be allowed to
know every detail of their off-
springs life with no age restric-
tion. (In other words, every col-
lege students worst nightmare)
Until death do they part?
3) Defense of Coffee Act
(DOCA) Coffee would be
sold at a discounted price while
all other beverages would cease
to be sold so as not to interfere
or compete with the coffee mar-
ket.
4) Defense of Sex Act (DOSA)
Sex is meant to be between
a man and a woman, within a
marriage. Because this act is put
into place, all human beings,
especially teenagers, will fol-
low it blindly. They will realize
the error of their ways and will
come to the light. Or something
like that.
5) Defense of Testosterone
Act (DOTA) Men are inher-
ently better than women. To
show this, every Thursday all
the men of America will pause
at noon and beat their chests
dramatically to show their domi-
nance.

T
his month as I have antic-
ipated turning another
year older come Saturday,
I couldnt help but reflect on age
and how and when it makes a
difference in the dating game.
The first time I dated and then
broke up with a younger guy in
high school, I swore never to
date down again.
A few years later, I broke my
rule and dated another younger
guy, who was coincidentally best
friends with my ex. And when
that went south, I renewed my
vow and have been faithful to it
since.
But as I prepare to blow out
23 candles, Ive had to wonder
whats really the matter with
younger guys, and I couldnt
actually think of much. So with
that, this week Im a heroine
for the younger fellas: if youve
already botched your New Years
resolution, you should make a
new one not to oust a guy over
age starting now.
First of all, younger guys tend
to be eager to please. Of course
you can interpret that as you
will, but this holds true outside
the bedroom too. Some younger
guys may be afraid they cant
give you everything an older
guy can and will be motivated
to compensate for it. Of course,
relationships that are one-sided
are doomed to fail, but at least
you wont be the one fighting for
validation like you might with
someone older.
Also, according to Glamour
magazine, younger guys come
with less relationship baggage
than their older counterparts. As
a result, your risks of encounter-
ing a relationship freak-out only
a few months in brought on by a
tragic past with a cheating girl-
friend are lower with someone
whos a year or more your junior.
Younger guys arent as jaded
either. Older guys may be nice in
that they are more mature and
dont have to resort to sneaking
through windows to get into
bars, but with age, they have a
more wearied mentality. In my
own experience, the older guys
have been more serious, more
dramatic and less willing to
indulge. If you prefer fun over
seriousness in relationships, you
may be happier with a younger
guy.
Finally, while young guys are
eager to please, they arent eager
to get married. Moving in and
tying the knot are generally not
on their radar, so if youre not
ready to share an address or are
uninterested in saying, I do, a
younger guy would be a good
match.
With all that said, younger
guys arent for everyone. If youre
in it for the long haul and cant
stand a guy with a dirty apart-
ment, you should consider look-
ing for a partner elsewhere. But
if youre in the business of having
a low-stakes relationship, dont
knock it until you try it.
Its important to keep in mind
that some older and younger
guys dont fit the molds of their
respective age groups and may
deviate from the norm accord-
ingly. But in the end, age is not
just a number, and when you can
truly evaluate what you want in a
relationship then use that num-
ber to your advantage, both you
and your younger or older guy
will start to reap the benefits.

he clock reads 2 a.m.
when my cell phones
ringer violently awakens
me. As the sluggishness of my
body starts to wear off like a
bad hangover, I grab my phone.
Ten missed calls all from the
same number. Horrific thoughts
start to fill my head. My phone
alerts me theres a new voicemail.
Im hesitant to listen to it, but
curiosity and fear consume my
body like an addiction. I hit the
voicemail button. After I listen
to the message, I cant get it to
stop playing in my head. Im
paralyzed by it. I was told there
was an accident and now some-
one I love is dead. My memory
is hyperactive, remembering the
memories we shared. A strong
sense of guilt brings me back
to the harsh reality. The guilt is
waiting until later (in this case,
never) to tell this person how
much they meant to me and for
being too self-absorbed with my
life to reach out. Im sobbing,
cold and alone. My life is in a
million pieces.
And then I wake up.
Its a nightmare that happens
too often, but brings clarity
to my life. It reminds me how
important each day is; every day
is a blessing. Life doesnt come
with a guarantee. Neither does
tomorrow.
Sometimes later never comes.
I think its important we think
about that when we tell ourselves
that well do something later
there is nothing you are doing
right now that is more valuable
than never doing something.
This is ironic because we live
in a digitally advanced society
that offers sites, apps and ser-
vices that interconnect people at
the touch of their fingertips or at
a click of a button.
How is there no time right
now when this generation has
championed the term multitask-
er? Why are we waiting until
later when we can do multiple
things at once?
Maybe Im being to idealistic
in my columns. Its ideal that
people get the most out of life.
Its ideal to be reminded that
you are loved. Its ideal to see
the beauty in life and to have an
optimistic attitude toward life.
Maybe people do want these
things, but right now they are
too busy to focus on whats really
important in their lives. Maybe it
is society telling us whats impor-
tant and setting cockamamie
expectations to fulfill a spurious
void that we created.
Maybe people need to be more
realistic and understand life is
happening now, not later.
Im not concerned with who
is to blame for why we procras-
tinate living our lives. Im more
concerned with having you
realize that and doing some-
thing about it. I dont write my
columns for myself. I write them
for people who have the power
to make a difference and will. Im
just one man behind his com-
puter writing a column. But, Im
trying to enable people like you
to make the world a better place
right now, not later. I do this
because there is something we
can all offer the world. For me, at
least right now, its writing moti-
vational columns to tell people to
make a difference. It might not
sound like much, but at least Im
making an impact.
What kind of impact do you
want to have? Whatever it is you
just thought of, go and do it now,
not later. Never let the L word
affect you, again.

Spring fashion trends have taken
an interesting turn, perhaps to-
wards tourism. With accessories
such as backpacks, fanny pack-
inspired waist purses and even vi-
sors popping up in stores, the only
thing missing is a one-way ticket to
paradise.
Stars such as Kanye West, the
Olsen twins and British model
Cara Delevingne have all recently
been spotted wearing backpacks.
Rachel Zoe and Rihanna have both
been seen in designer waist purses
as well. What was once trendy de-
cades ago and then banned from
fashion is now back again for an-
other go. It seems that history does
repeat itself.
To avoid looking like a tacky
tourist in the latest accessories,
be sure to keep it simple. Aim for
something thats smaller in size and
in leather. Tis will ensure your
new and convenient purse will look
more like an accessory than a book
bag. Neutral colors such as black,
brown or white look best pat-
terns or bright colors will prove
that these carry-all purses should
stay in the 80s.
Te same rules apply for waist
purses, also known as belt bags.
Anything slightly famboyant will
give of the idea that youre on your
way to a themed party. Stick with the
basics and youll instead be chicly
hands free. Designers Michael Kors
and Tory Burch have both hopped
on the bandwagon by designing
simple and small waist purses. Tory
Burch went above and beyond and
updated one of the fashion brands
classic looks, the Robinson cross-
body bag, to convert into a belt bag.
Teres hardly anything better than
two purses in one.
Whatever route you choose to
take, consider backpacks no longer
a school year necessity, and fanny
packs no longer something only
your grandmother would wear.
Fashion has a way of constantly
surprising us, though it isnt always
a warm surprise at frst. Sometimes
things take time, and trendy back-
packs and fanny packs may be one
of them.

PHILADELPHIA Philadel-
phia is getting ready for a super-
sized game of Pong on the
side of a skyscraper.
Te classic Atari video game
will be re-created later this month
on the facade of the 29-story Cira
Centre, where hundreds of em-
bedded LED lights will replicate
the familiar paddles and ball.
Organizers expect hundreds of
onlookers as gaming enthusiasts
use giant, table-mounted joysticks
to play from afar. Te players will
be standing on the steps of the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, a
site that ofers an unobstructed
view of the ofce building from
across the Schuylkill River.
Pong is a cultural icon, cul-
tural milestone, said Frank Lee,
the Drexel University game-de-
sign professor behind the concept.
Tis is my love letter to the won-
ders of technology as seen through
the eyes of my childhood.
Despite the buzz the idea has
received since being announced
Wednesday, Lee said it took fve
years to fnd people willing to
make it happen. He eventually
met kindred spirits at Brandywine
Realty Trust, which owns the Cira
Centre, and at the online news site
Technically Philly.
Now, what might be the worlds
largest Pong game will be played
April 19 and 24 as part of Philly
Tech Week, the news websites an-
nual series of events, seminars and
workshops spotlighting the citys
technology and innovation com-
munities.
Tis is one of the best things
I could imagine that could make
people aware that theres some-
thing happening here, and bring
more people into the fold, Tech-
nically Philly co-founder Christo-
pher Wink said.
Wink estimated about 150 peo-
ple might play over the two days
most will be chosen by a lottery,
but some spots will be reserved for
younger students enrolled in sci-
ence, technology, engineering and
math programs.
Lee noted it was rewarding on
an emotional level, comparing it
with the excitement he felt as a
boy when he would put the Pong
game cartridge into the console.
And he hopes it inspires a new
generation of innovators.
I hope kids ... will go on to be
the leaders, and push technology
forward and do wondrous things
in the future, Lee said.

ts midnight when Ayana Pergadia, a senior from St. Louis, climbs into bed and
forces her eyes shut. She is determined to sleep well for the frst time all week. But
this isnt even a remote possibility. She tosses and turns while her mind wanders.
Anxiety builds as she tallies the tasks ahead of her. She thinks about what should have
been done that day, what she needs to do the following day, and the day afer that, and
the day afer. When she can no longer stand the sleeplessness, the only option is her
moms go-to remedy: warm milk. Afer guzzling down a glass of frothy goodness, she
fnally relaxes and returns to bed. It isnt long before her eyes get heavy, and sleep is
fnally within reach.
Warm milk may be Pergadias go-to sleep remedy, but many other methods are avail-
able that are just as efective. Dr. Suzanne Stevens, M.D., director of the Sleep Medicine
Clinic at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, gives us some insight into the
efectiveness and side efects of common sleep remedies.
Sleep remedies are available for those nights
when falling asleep quickly just isnt happening
thE ARt Of MAStERING SLEEP
tRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Falling asleep after a long day is not always easy. There are various tricks and tips to falling asleep with ease.

Taking a dose of nyQuil
NyQuil is a nighttime cold medication, but it
also contains alcohol. Taking a dose of this medi-
cation before bed is similar to taking a shot of
liquor. NyQuil also contains an antihistamine,
which is commonly found in over-the-counter
sleep aids.
What side efects are associated with habitual
use?
A psychological dependence may develop over
time. You might start out only taking a dose ev-
ery once in a while, but end up feeling like you
need it to sleep. Other side efects include dry
mouth and a morning hangover similar to an al-
cohol hangover.
drinking alcohol
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant
and causes drowsiness.
What are the side efects associated with ha-
bitual use?
Te second half of sleep may become frag-
mented by alcohol consumption. Tis happens
because it takes about four hours for the body to
metabolize alcohol. Afer it is metabolized, the
quality of sleep is compromised. Tis means you
will wake up periodically and even be more likely
to experience bad dreams.
Taking melaTonin pills
Melatonin is a chemical naturally released by
the body. Starting about two hours before your
usual bedtime, the brain will release melatonin.
Te peak of release is during the middle of the
night, assisting with deep sleep, and the chemi-
cal is suppressed by sunlight during the day. You
can also buy over-the-counter melatonin pills at
most pharmacies.
A side efect of habitual use is grogginess in
the morning.
drinking warm milk
It may be helpful, because there is a possibility
that milk contains a small amount of melatonin
and tryptophan, which are chemicals necessary
for sleep. But most likely warm milk creates
comfort and relaxation, which helps us ease into
sleep.
What are the side efects of habitual use?
Tere are very few side efects, but drinking
anything before bed may cause you to wake up
frequently to use the restroom.

Tips and Tricks for sound sleeping
Christian Vargas, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and outreach coordinator for the Uni-
versitys Counseling and Psychological Services program, tells us how to get a better
nights sleep. She also suggests a visit with CAPS if sleeplessness is a major issue for
you.
Have a routine. As much as possible, get up approximately the same time, and go
to bed at the same time each night. On weekends, try to stick within an hour of your
weekday schedule.
Sleep only when you are tired. If you have not fallen asleep within 20 minutes of get-
ting into bed, get up and fnd something else to do. Read, talk to a friend, etc. until you
feel tired enough to go to sleep. Staying in bed trying to force sleep can start to create the
association of being in bed with frustration, not with sleep.
Use your bed for sleeping only. Watch TV, read and do homework in a separate loca-
tion. Again, create the association of your bed with sleep.
Exercise on a regular basis. Exercise helps with many things, including reducing anxi-
ety, improving sleep and increasing energy.
Avoid taking naps. Research clearly indicates sleeping during the day will make it
more difcult for you to fall asleep at night. If you are in the habit of taking naps, it may
be difcult for the frst few days, but it will be worth the efort.
Avoid cafeine, alcohol, nicotine and street drugs before sleep and throughout the
night.
Avoid bright lights. Tis includes television and cell phones, as they are stimulating.
Use some kind of relaxation method; this will calm your body and mind. Take a bath,
meditate, or write down your thoughts.
When should you consult a doctor?
Dr. Stevens tells us when sleeplessness is a medical concern.
Loud snoring and witnessed pauses in breathing can be a sign of sleep apnea, and
should be evaluated by a physician.
Sleepwalking can be potentially injurious and needs to be addressed.
Severe daytime sleepiness can indicate an underlying sleep disorder and requires at-
tention, particularly if you cant stay awake to study or to safely drive.

Father Agustn Fernandez
watched the white smoke on his
bedroom television in Buenos
Aires National Basilica of Lujn.
When Habemus PapamWe
have a popewas announced and
followed by the name Bergoglio,
he leapt from his seat to scream
the news out of his window. He
knew that name and had met that
man: the new leader of the Roman
Catholic Church and the first from
the Americas, Jorge Bergoglio.
It is a great joy and pride to
have a pope that was first our
particular pastor, being a cardinal
from Argentina, Fernandez said
in an interview via email. It is like
an injection of hope and a breath
of faith. We are seven priests in the
Sanctuary, and they say that it is
like a new dawn of the church in
their lives because they know the
life of HH Francis.
The 266th pope of the Roman
Catholic Church, 76-year-old Jorge
Bergoglio, named Pope Francis,
succeeded Pope Benedict XVI,
who was the first pope to resign in
the past 600 years. Both Fernandez
and Fede Levermann, a sixth-year
seminarian in the province of
Buenos Aires, met Francis on pil-
grimages when he was still a cardi-
nal in Buenos Aires. They said they
found him reserved and humble,
often refusing special treatment.
He ate wherever a seat was avail-
able, cleared his own plate, got
his own coffee and spent up to six
hours hearing confessions.
This was the man putting
Argentina on the world stage, a
country thats roughly 90 percent
Roman Catholic, but with a mere
25 percent practicing. Regardless
of the peoples religious prefer-
ences, the reaction throughout
Francis home country was univer-
sal. Levermann said people of no
faith were still moved to tears, that
churches everywhere were packed
for his inaugural celebration, and
that even the smallest convenience
stores brimmed with papal memo-
rabilia.
We were filled with pride that
the Holy Father is one of us, and for
many, because they have met him
personally, Levermann said. We
felt joy knowing that his way of
thinking is that of an Argentine; his
concerns are that of an Argentine.
Our country, as well as America
as a whole, can rest assured that
both our voices and way of living
our faith will be known and taken
into account in a special way in the
Vatican.
Up until Francis papal election,
Argentinas international recogni-
tion was limited to its two World
Cup victories and creating the
tango. Yet this developing country
has a particular arrogance behind
its patriotism, an inexplicable insis-
tence that their country is always
number one. This national com-
petitive spirit is now fueled with
what they proudly feel is proof of
their superiority, and Francis only
encourages the popular joke, God
is Argentine.
The pope can be considered
a typical Argentine in several
aspects: his simple way of speak-
ing, not too mindful of formalities,
his taste for national traditions,
especially soccer, Levermann said.
But on the other hand, we can see
that the Holy Father is free from
many defects very common in the
Argentine people, and that is seen
in his great sense of responsibility
and humility.
Humility has indeed already
become the buzzword to describe
Francis, as his name refers to
Francis of Assissi, who embraced
a life of poverty. This was the earli-
est and most visible sign showing
the world where his priorities lay.
According to La Nacin, a Buenos
Aires newspaper, his fight against
poverty most closely defined his
leadership, such as his involvement
against drug and sex trafficking
as well as specific consideration
and outreach toward young catho-
lics. With poverty as his prima-
ry interest, his relationship with
Argentinas president, Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner, has always
been tense. Kirchner portrays her-
self as a champion of the poor,
so she and Nstor Kirchner, her
husband and predecessor, often
took Francis public concern for
the countrys impoverished condi-
tions as a personal attack on the
presidency. Despite the stress his
agenda caused the government in
his home country, Francis contin-
ues to make the poor a priority.
This is a pope that has been in
the streets, who understands the
problems of the simple individuals
of Gods people, Fernandez said.
He will know how to apply the
catholic doctrine to the daily con-
crete actions that the common man
can do.
Although Christian regions are
quickly adopting more liberal life-
styles, including a recent fight for
gay marriage, Pope Francis pro-
gressive tendencies are restricted to
his socioeconomic concerns.
This pope from the new world
will change his pastoral approach,
but as far as doctrine, there is noth-
ing to change, and he knows that,
Fernandez said. As far as interpre-
tations and practice, [the Catholic
Church] having had European
popes that looked more into the
intellectual, this pope cares more
about gestures and is more con-
crete through his works.
Both Fernandez and Levermann
are confident that the popes visible
examples and deeds will be what
most enhance the Catholic Churchs
image, and that there is no need to
consider the widespread criticism
that suggests a need for reformed
social doctrine. With few words,
the pope is abundantly teaching
us about our faith, Levermann
said. And non-believers are evan-
gelized by being shown a church
that suggests a different way of
life, witnessed to the whole world
beginning with the pope.
Argentina is more than aware
of the sudden spotlight, and more
importantly, of its potential. La
Nacin observed that when Pope
John Paul II from Poland was elect-
ed there was an international shift
in attitude regarding socialism;
now, a South American country
so consumed in poverty is hopeful
that, through Francis papacy, they
too can achieve a global empathy
that could lead to prominent influ-
ence.
The same way the European cul-
ture greatly enriched the American
culture, now the American culture
can share its riches with Europe,
especially its relationship with God
way of living the faith, Levermann
said.
When the world sees Pope
Francis, its with the image of him
waving to millions of hopeful
Catholics, those excited but mainly
curious about this new-world man.
But when Argentina sees that man,
he is Jorge Bergoglio: a man who
refuses to fly first class, who has
lived among the poor, who is still a
fan of his barrios soccer team, and
who walked out on that balcony
as an Argentine ready to lead the
Catholic Church and ready to show
his country one more way how
they could, after all, be the best.

Men charged with distributing misbranded drugs worldwide
ASSocIAtED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Demand
for a synthetic marijuana concoc-
tion whipped up in an eastern
Kansas warehouse became so high
that suppliers had a hard time fill-
ing orders, federal prosecutors said
in a 64-page indictment charg-
ing three men with distributing
misbranded drugs to customers
around the globe.
The indictment filed last week
against Bradley Miller, 55, of
Wichita; his brother, Clark Sloan,
54, of Tonganoxie; and Sloans son,
Jonathan Sloan, 32, of Lawrence,
details a cat-and-mouse game
between owners of a Lawrence
herbal shop and state and federal
authorities trying to keep up with
a rapidly evolving synthetic drug
boom.
Cases like this are important
because these are chemists making
synthetic drugs and trying to stay
ahead of state and federal laws,
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said
Thursday. You have a scenario
in which a drug is in question,
legislation is advanced to prohibit
the drug, and chemists around the
country are smart enough to stay
ahead of the curve.
Miller introduced K2 as a
product that could be sold at a
Lawrence herb shop he co-owned,
Persophones Journey, in early 2009
after coming back from a trip to
China, prosecutors said. K2 was
billed as a safe, legal
alternative to marijua-
na and immediately
became wildly popular
because of its euphoric
characteristics, rela-
tively cheap cost and
lack of banned sub-
stances that could be
detected in drug tests.
The defendants also
marketed a Chinese-
made diet drug called
Que She, which had
been banned in the U.S., prosecu-
tors said. The drug sometimes was
labeled as a health product or
Garlic P.E. when shipped to the
U.S., they said, and advertised as
a revolution in weight loss by
Bouncing Bears Botanicals, a mail-
order business owned by Clark
Sloan and Miller.
The compound used to make
K2 was not illegal when the men
first started selling the fake mari-
juana, Grissom said. But mislabel-
ing drugs is a federal crime, and
that spawned other charges against
the men, including conspiracy,
mail fraud, smuggling, distributing
misbranded drugs and conspiracy
to commit money laundering, he
said.
Tom Bath,
an Overland
Park, Kan.,
attorney who
r e p r e s e n t s
J o n a t h a n
Sloan, noted
state charges
against his cli-
ent over prod-
ucts sold at
his Lawrence
shop had been
dismissed in the past.
We are in the process of going
through the indictment and will
be pleading not guilty in court
and challenging the allegations,
Bath said.
Millers attorney said he couldnt
comment, and Grissoms office did
not know Thursday if Clark Sloan
had obtained an attorney. None
of the men have been taken into
custody.
Prosecutors said Miller initially
manufactured K2 in his garage
before expanding to a warehouse
in Oskaloosa, where he could pro-
duce 5 to 10 kilograms per night
but still not come close to meeting
worldwide demand. At one point,
the men were bringing in $150,000
a week from K2 sales, prosecutors
said, and made about $3.3 million
overall from the sale of K2 and
Que She.
In August 2009, while promot-
ing K2 at a trade show in Las
Vegas, Miller and Jonathan Sloan
handed out single-gram samples
under a banner that read, Smoke
it, feel it, share it, prosecutors said.
But after other participants at the
show warned that marketing K2
as a smokable product was ille-
gal, Jonathan Sloan had the banner
taken down and afterward mar-
keted K2 as incense, according to
the indictment.
The indictment includes email
exchanges among the three men
that suggest they knew their lucra-
tive business venture probably
wasnt going to last long.
In one such exchange, Clark
Sloan sent an email to his son on
Dec. 31, 2009, warning him that
efforts to ban K2 were heating up
and they need to be careful, pros-
ecutors said.
I read just yesterday that law/
bill (whatever it is), that makes
everything illegal if it is trying to
simulate the illegal drug, the senior
Sloan wrote. If it wasnt for that, Id
say milk K2 for a few more months.
$150,000 a week isnt too bad. And
it keeps going up. So, get a couple
million over the next few months.
Then sell it at an even higher price.
But... Too scary. Not worth 20 years
in San Quentin.
Instead of rushing to stop K2
sales, Jonathan Sloan testified
Jan. 18, 2010, before the Kansas
Legislature against a proposal to
designate the chemical compounds
used in making K2 as a Schedule I
drug. During his testimony, Sloan
said K2 had those compounds and
insisted they had health benefits
that include being useful for pain
and insomnia.
Clark sent the men another
email Jan. 27, 2010, telling them he
had decided that selling fake mari-
juana went against the mission of
Bouncing Bear Botanicals, which
was to provide natural herbs to its
customers.
BBB is now just a huge drug
dealer, he wrote. When point-
ing out that the feds are breathing
down BBBs neck, it is just we
got a new synthetic well use, and
just invent another fake drug. ... I
know that money looks good, but,
I think it is walking a shaky line.
Playing one step ahead of the feds
is whacked out. They know who
you are. They are watching you.

these are chemists

making synthetic drugs
and trying to stay ahead
of state and federal
laws.

County jail starts a
program to end graffti
ASSocIAtED PRESS
WICHITA The Sedgwick
County Sheriff s Office has taken a
tougher approach to graffiti at the
jail by starting a cleanup program
and threatening charges against
inmates who mark up their cells.
Undersheriff Danny Bardezbain
said graffiti has been a problem for
years, and that now nearly all of the
cells at the 1,122-bed facility have
been tagged. The walls of one cell
feature a sweeping mural dotted
with stars and swirling clouds, The
Wichita Eagle reported. Other cells
at the jail have been defaced with
profanity, gang signs and refer-
ences to the Ku Klux Klan.
Theres about 1,100 cells that we
have to clean up, he said.
Jail officials hope that will
change under new guidelines that
include charging inmates with van-
dalism when they deface cell walls.
Jail officials have also replaced
inmates pencils with a softer, flex-
ible version that makes defacing
jail property more difficult.
Jail officials also have assigned
an inmate the task of cleaning the
walls and painting over the graf-
fiti. The inmate spends minutes to
hours scrubbing down each cell to
remove as many pencil marks as
possible. Each cell also takes up to
another three hours to paint.
Recently that inmate finished a
pod of cells, where fresh, gleaming
off-white walls have been restored
to every cell.
This is the way I want all of the
cells to look, Bardezbain said.

WASHINGTON Two infuen-
tial senators, one from each party,
are working on an agreement that
could expand background checks
on frearms sales to include gun
shows and online transactions,
Senate aides said Sunday.
If completed, the efort could
represent a major breakthrough
in the efort by President Barack
Obama and his allies to restrict
guns following last Decembers
massacre of schoolchildren in
Newtown, Conn.
Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.,
and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., could nail
down an accord early this week,
said the aides, who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity to describe
the private talks. With the Senate
returning Monday from a two-
week recess, the chambers debate
on gun control legislation could
begin as soon as Tuesday, though
it might be delayed if the lawmak-
ers need more time to complete a
deal, the aides said.
Expanding background checks
to gun shows and online sales is
one possibility that has been dis-
cussed, and the overall package,
if completed, could still change,
aides said. Te senators are also
discussing exempting transactions
between relatives and temporary
transfers for hunters and sports-
men, they said.
Manchin is a moderate who
touts an A rating from the Na-
tional Rife Association, which
has opposed Obamas gun control
drive. Toomey has solid conserva-
tive credentials and was elected to
the Senate two years ago with tea
party support from his Democrat-
ic-leaning state.
A united front by the two law-
makers would make it easier for
gun control advocates to attract
support from moderate Democrats
who have been wary of supporting
the efort and from Republicans
who have largely opposed it so far.
With conservative Republicans
threatening a flibuster, Demo-
crats will need 60 of the chambers
100 votes to prevail. Tere are 53
Democrats and two Democratic-
leaning independents in the Sen-
ate.
Federal background checks are
currently required only for trans-
actions handled by the roughly
55,000 federally licensed frearms
dealers; private sales such as gun-
show or online purchases are ex-
empt. Te system is designed to
keep guns from criminals, people
with serious mental problems, and
some others.
Afer 20 frst-graders and six
elementary school stafers were
killed at Newtown, Obama pro-
posed applying the requirement
to virtually all frearms sales. Gun
control advocates consider ex-
panded background checks to be
the most efective step lawmakers
could take to curb gun violence.
Also high on Congress agenda
is immigration, where a decisive
moment is approaching.
Bipartisan groups in the House
and Senate are expected to pres-
ent legislation as early as this week
aimed at securing the U.S. bor-
der, fxing legal immigration and
granting legal status to millions
who are in the United States with-
out authorization. Tat will open
months of debate on the politi-
cally combustible issue, with votes
by the Senate Judiciary Committee
expected later this month.
Te House returns Tuesday and
initially plans to consider a bill
preventing the National Labor Re-
lations Board from issuing rules
until a dispute over administra-
tion appointees is resolved.
Lawmakers will also devote time
to the 2014 budget that Obama
plans to release Wednesday. It
calls for new tax increases, which
Republicans oppose, and smaller
annual increases in Social Secu-
rity and other government ben-
eft programs, over the objections
of many of the presidents fellow
Democrats.
On Monday, Obama travels to
Connecticut to again make the
case for gun legislation, with a
speech at the University of Hart-
ford.
Hes been working with both
sides to try to get the strongest bill
we can that has enforceable back-
ground checks, White House se-
nior adviser Dan Pfeifer said Sun-
day on ABCs Tis Week.
Other Obama gun control pri-
orities include banning assault
weapons and ammunition maga-
zines with more than 10 rounds.
Both bans are expected to be of-
fered as amendments when Sen-
ate debate begins, but the assault
weapons ban seems sure to be
defeated and the high-capacity
magazine prohibition also faces
difcult odds.
For weeks, Manchin has been
part of an efort to craf a back-
ground check compromise, along
with Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
and Mark Kirk, R-Ill. Schumer fo-
cused his eforts on conservative
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., but
those talks sputtered over Schum-
ers insistence on and Coburns
opposition to requiring that re-
cords be kept of private gun sales.
Im still hopeful that what I
call the sweet spot background
checks can succeed, Schumer
said Sunday. Were working hard
there.
Proponents say background
checks and records are the best
way to ensure that would-be gun-
buyers histories are researched.
Opponents say the system is a step
toward government fles on gun
owners and say criminals routine-
ly skirt the checks anyway.
Asked about the potential
compromise, Manchin spokes-
man Jonathan Kott said, My boss
continues to talk to all of his col-
leagues.
Toomey spokeswoman E.R. An-
derson said she could provide no
information.
In addition, the gun bill con-
tains language by Schumer expand
background checks to cover nearly
all gun transactions, with narrow
exceptions that include sales in-
volving immediate relatives. Even
without a bipartisan deal, Schum-
er is expected to expand the ex-
emptions to more relatives, people
with permits to carry concealed
weapons and others.

concert going, music, et cetera,
since perceptually, our music
choice is pleasant to listen to,
Reeder said. If you are engaged
in an activity and someone at
arms length, about three feet,
has to raise their voice to get
your attention, it is too loud.
For Travis Marshall, a junior

his hearing is not a concern.
If hearing loss does affect me,
it wont be until Im much older,
Marshall said. Ill probably start
losing my hearing anyway.
For Andrew Haase, a junior

his hearing is important, which
is why he keeps his iPod at only
30 percent of the maximum vol-
ume.
Haase will sometimes pull
out his earbuds and test if he
can hear them to make sure the
sound level isnt too loud.
My family is from the rock n

ing is crap, Haase said. I want
to be able to keep my hearing as

success continues
Te Jayhawks havent felt this
level of success since April 2, 2011
when they beat the No. 21 Baylor
Bears in the frst two games of
their weekend series in Lawrence.
Kansas 3-2 win over the 19th-
ranked Oklahoma State Cow-
boys Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark
sealed the teams frst series win,
its frst over a top-25 school since
beating Baylor back in 2011.
Te Cowboys put up the frst
run of the game in the top of the
frst inning on junior frst baseman
Tanner Krietemeiers RBI double.
Te early run lef many wonder-
ing whether Kansas had an answer
afer Saturdays 14-3 loss.
Tats what Im most proud of,
coach Ritch Price said. Just how
we bounced
back with so
much energy
in the dugout.
It starts with
Wes Benja-
min. Anytime
you get a per-
formance as
poor as we
had yesterday
in every phase
of the game, it
starts with the
starting pitching and obviously
with the double plays, our middle
infeld was huge.
Te Jayhawks answered quickly
in the bottom of the frst by scor-
ing their frst of two runs on soph-
omore lef felder Michael Suiters
sacrifce bunt, the second of three
consecutive bunts laid down by
Jayhawk hitters in the frst inning.
Sophomore right felder Dakota
Smith grounded out to Cowboys
freshman second baseman Don-
nie Walton, scoring senior short-
stop Kevin Kuntz and giving the
Jayhawks a 2-1 lead heading to the
top of the second inning.
Kansas small-ball approach
continued in the second with ju-
nior center felder Tucker Tarp
executing a squeeze bunt with
runners on frst and third that
scored sophomore designated hit-
ter Connor McKay.
It was just another short-game
execution that we practice all the
time, Tarp said. To get it down
and execute it under pressure is a
confdence builder for us.
Te Jayhawks took Oklahoma
State sophomore lef-handed start-
er Tyler Nurdin out of his rhythm
in the frst two innings, forcing
him to feld fve bunts early in the
game. Sundays focus on small ball
is a topic of increased importance
in Big 12 competition.
When you play Big 12 teams, all
the arms are power arms, Tarp
said. To be able
to execute bunts
and get runners
in scoring posi-
tion is huge.
Te other
topic dominat-
ing the Kansas
clubhouse is the
performance of
the pitching staf
coupled with sol-
id defense.
Suiter recorded
his sixth outfeld assist in throw-
ing out Cowboy senior shortstop
Randy McCurry at the plate from
deep in lef feld saving what could
have been the tying run for Okla-
homa State.
In Sundays series clincher,
sophomore lef-hander Wes Ben-
jamin pitched six innings without
the best command of his pitches,
but still managed to give up just
two earned runs on four hits with
three strikeouts.
Afer yesterday, we really talked
about coming back and getting the
momentum in our dugout again,
junior closer Jordan Piche said.
Wes threw great. He didnt have
great command, but he grinded
and did a great job. Coming of
of that, it was easy to come in for
those last three innings and close
it down.
Piche recorded his sixth save of
the season in an extended, three-
inning appearance in which he
faced 11 batters giving up three
hits and holding on to the slim 3-2
Kansas lead.
I like these one-run lead
games, Piche said. More pres-
sure, I dont know theres just
something about it. I enjoy com-
peting in that. I just took it inning
by inning, got the frst one out and
kept going.
With a series win over a tough
Oklahoma State squad in hand,
Kansas looks to build on the mo-
mentum among the starting pitch-
ing staf.
Coach Price said he plans to
take junior starting pitcher Frank
Duncan out of the weekend rota-
tion. He wants to put him in the
bullpen to regain rhythm and get
him back to his original level of
play.
Teres no depth to his change-
up, theres no depth to his breaking
ball right now, Price said. When
hes good, hes locating down with
action, and I think if we can pitch
him more than one time out of
the bullpen, we can help him fnd
himself and get him back in.
Price said he plans to pitch
sophomore Robert Kahana in the
Sunday slot in next weekends se-
ries against Texas.
Te Jayhawks are 5-4 in Big 12
play, two games behind conference
leader Oklahoma. Kansas heads to
Iowa City, Iowa for a mid-week
two-game series against the Uni-
versity of Iowa Hawkeyes starting
Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Duane Banks
Field.

sophomore center felder Joe moroney catches a fy ball in the sixth inning of fridays game against oklahoma state at
hogland ball Park. Kansas won fridays game 7-5. sundays 3-2 win brought the Jayhawks their frst series win over a top-25
team in two years.
A historic performance by
freshman pitcher Kelsey Kes-
sler on Sunday capped a win-
ning weekend for Kansas as the
Jayhawks swept Texas Tech in a
three-game se-
ries at Rocky
Johnson Field
in Lubbock,
Texas.
Ke s s l e r s
frst career no-
hitter came on
the heels of
Kansas frst
conference road sweep since April
2007 against Texas Tech, and
was the frst by a Kansas pitcher
since Kassie Humphreys thew one
on March 11, 2007 against New
Mexico.
In a KU Athletics press release,
Kessler seemed stunned by her
dominating performance on the
mound.
I dont know if I feel anything
right now, Kessler laughed. I feel
like Im going to wake up in 30
minutes. But no, it was incredible.
A no-hitter is as much as a team
accomplishment as it was mine.
Te fnal game of Sundays 4-0
victory was close until the seventh
inning, when the Jayhawks scored
three runs on a Maddie Stein hit
to lef feld that was mishandled
by the Texas Tech felder and
cleared the bases for Kansas.
Kessler dominated on Saturday,
pitching a complete game with
four strikeouts and no earned
runs. Te shutout was the 11th of
the season for the Jayhawks and
coach Megan Smith was proud of
her teams performance in a 3-0
victory.
Tats tough to do and thats a
great ofensive team over there,
Smith said in a KU Athletics press
release. I thought they started to
gain some momentum last night
ofensively, but Kelsey Kessler
came out today and shut them
out. She had a great performance
today.
Freshman shortstop Chaley
Brickey hit her frst career homer-
un on Saturday and sophomore
third baseman Chanin Naudin
also hit one to provide Kessler
with the necessary run support.
Kessler retired ten straight
batters to end the game and give
Kansas their second consecutive
victory of the weekend over Texas
Tech.
Naudin also hit a big homerun
in Fridays game, as her third in-
ning solo homerun was the game
winner in Kansas 4-3 victory on
Friday night. Alicia Pille started
Fridays game on the mound for
the Jayhawks as she pitched 5.1
innings and recorded four strike-
outs. Kessler came in with one out
in the sixth to seal the game for
Kansas and record her frst save of
the season.
Te Jayhawks ofense came out
gunning with two runs in the frst,
one in the second and third in-
nings to give them a 4-0 lead early
on. Texas Tech stormed back with
three runs in the sixth to cut the
defcit to one, but Kessler stopped
them dead in their tracks.
Pitching was the name of the
game this weekend for the Jay-
hawks as they look to continue
their outstanding play on Satur-
day when they travel to Green-
ville, S.C. to take on Furman Uni-
versity. Te two teams will play
a doubleheader on Saturday and
one game on Sunday.

freshman pitcher Kelsey Kessler pitched the Jayhawks ffth shutout this season
in a 9-0 victory over baker University at arrocha ballpark on oct. 3, 2012. Kessler
pitched the frst no-hitter of her career against texas tech on sunday in lubbock,
texas. Kansas won 4-0.
T
heyre just trying to stick to
the routine, not trying to
do anything any differently
than theyve practiced all season to
this point.
In every post game press confer-
ence this season, a Jayhawk player
mentions the routine, not pushing
too hard to play outside their abili-
ties and staying in the moment on
the diamond and in the batters
box.
For the Jayhawks, the routine
all came together in perfect time.
The Jayhawks move to 18-12 after
beating the 19th-ranked Oklahoma
State Cowboys two games to one
in this weekends series at Hoglund
Ballpark.
After game one, Coach Price
couldnt have been happier.
That may have been our best
overall performance on the year,
coach Ritch Price said. From our
starting pitching to the way we
swung the bats and how aggressive
we were taking the outside fastball.
Taylor was good which is what it
takes to beat the number nineteen
team in the country.
Taylors solid performance land-
ed him in sixth place on the overall
strikeout list with 209 strikeouts in
his career. His 105 pitches in seven
innings got the Kansas pitching
staff to its closers, whove been as
good as any in the NCAA.
But its all just a part of the rou-
tine. Ask the pitcher. Youll get the
same answer.
Im just going to go out there
and pitch when they tell me to
pitch, Taylor said. Its no different.
Im pitching against the same team,
different day.
Taylor isnt breaking after his
recent move from the Sunday slot
in the rotation to the Friday night
spot, which is typically reserved for
the hottest pitcher in the lineup.
The bullpen keeps trucking
along as Jordan Piche recorded his
fifth and sixth saves in the series
facing five batters and getting the
Jayhawks out of an eighth-inning
jam in game one and facing 11 in
game three.
Kansas leading man at the plate,
sophomore outfielder Michael
Suiter, has hit .391 on the season
with 43 hits and 14 RBIs. How do
you get to that level at the plate?
Im just trying to stay consis-
tent, just see the ball hit the ball,
Suiter said. My first two hits were
just little dinkers that I just built on
from there.
Suiter recorded the first four-hit
game of his career on a night that
the Jayhawks looked nearly flawless
in all aspects Friday.
Even the rookies played well. To
no surprise the freshmen under-
stand the power of consistency.
Im just working to get back to
the basics and go the other way,
freshman designated hitter Jacob
Boylan said. You just have to be
able to contribute. I havent been
able to do that the past couple
weeks, but I can build on this defi-
nitely.
No matter who you ask from
top to bottom in the Jayhawk club-
house, the song remains the same.
Stick to your routine. Dont try
to push too hard and stay focused
on the task at hand.
It worked against Oklahoma
State.

A
s a University student, I under-
stand tradition is pretty cool.
But sometimes tradition can
be arbitrary and stupid.
When Major League Baseballs Hous-
ton Astros were sold to Jim Crane in No-
vember of 2011, the team switched from
the ultra-traditional National League to
the modernized American League.
All right, neither is really all that mod-
ernized. But somehow the American
League is more so than the National
League all because they have one simple
player that only exerts efort on the feld
four times a game: the Designated Hitter.
With the Astros move to the Ameri-
can League, each league now consists of
15 teams, which means interleague play
will now be a part of everyday life. Major
League Baseball didnt have a problem
destroying tradition by creating inter-
league play in 1997. Up until that point,
an American League team didnt play a
National League team until they met in
the World Series. But this year, an AL and
NL team will have to play each other every
single day.
So if MLB didnt have a problem
destroying tradition to make more money,
then they should have no problem with
allowing the National League to adopt a
designated hitter as well.
Tere will be some people that wish
for this tradition in the National League
to stay intact. Tese people are called
curmudgeons and live in Tampa Bay, Fla.
Tey have boring lives because they are old
and retired. Te way to make it less boring
is by complaining about the second most
boring sport in American culture (golf is
clearly more boring).
Tese curmudgeons want baseball to
stay the same as it was when they were
kids when pitchers were also batters.
Te problem is that pitchers are no longer
batters. Pitchers rarely get extensive train-
ing in hitting. Tus, there is a blackhole
of a hitter on every single National League
teams lineup.
Even this past week as I watched Edwin
Jackson pitch for the Cubs, the teams
broadcast team, Len Kasper and Jim De-
shaies, mentioned that Edwin Jackson be-
came a pitcher because he couldnt hit very
well. But wait, he pitches for a National
League team and hes a starting pitcher. So
he pitches (hopefully) at least six innings,
and will have at least two at bats.
Tose two at bats are completely worth-
less. Te man who has to make those at
bats even acknowledged that hes terrible
at it. Jackson is not the only pitcher in the
league to do this. Rarely does a pitcher try
to be a good batter.
With interleague play happening every
day now, the MLB is no longer two sepa-
rate leagues with two sets of rules. It is now
one giant league with two separate rules,
but no real divider as to who gets what set
of rules.
If Major League Baseball is serious
about modernizing the game, competing
with the NBA and the NFL, it must change
its way of thinking and either get rid of the
DH in the American League, or add the
DH to the National League.
Clayton Kershaw may have hit a home
run last week, and Zack Greinke may
really love to boast about his home run in
Houston several years ago. But those are
anomalies. Tose instances are interest-
ing because they never happen, and it will
forever stay that way.
Babe Ruth may have hit a million
home runs as a pitcher, but the game has
changed and so should Major League
Baseball. Tey can either keep touting its
great tradition or join the 21st century
with the rest of us.

Junior and 2013 indoor NCAA
pole vault champion Natalia Bar-
tnovskaya broke the school and
meet record for the second week
in a row. In the second meet of the
outdoor season, Kansas saw NCAA
top-10 performances in fve events.
Te Kansas mens and womens
track and feld teams competed in
the Sun Angel Classic on Saturday
in Tempe, Ariz.
Last week, Bartnovskaya and
senior teammate Christen Guen-
ther cleared 4.31 meters (141.74)
at the Texas Relays. On Saturday,
Bartnovskaya again eased her
way through the heights until she
ended her day with a career-best
and school record of 4.41 meters
(145.5). Guenther earned fourth
place with a jump of 4.21 meters
(139.75). While only two meets
into the season, Bartnovskayas
clearance is the third-best in the
NCAA.
Senior Heather Bergmann threw
a top mark of 52.23 meters (1714)
on her last javelin attempt of the
meet. Tis mark gave her a third-
place fnish. Bergmanns throw is
only 16 inches short of her own
school record and places her fourth
in the NCAA rankings.
Te womens 4x400-meter team
had a great performance on the
track. Denesha Morris, Diamond
Dixon, Taylor Washington and
Paris Daniels led from the gun.
Daniels anchored the team to the
fnish line with a time of 3:32.26,
beating second-place Arkansas
by almost fve seconds. Tis is the
third-fastest time in school history
and the eighth-fastest time in the
NCAA this year.
Te mens 4x400-meter relay
team also grabbed their frst win
of the 2013 outdoor season. Kyle
Clemons, Michael Hester, Michael
Stigler and Kenneth McCuin fn-
ished with a time of 3:05.95. Mc-
Cuin was able to hold a lead in
front of the Sun Devils anchor in
the last 100 meters.
Junior Brendan Soucie clocked
the best half-mile time of his ca-
reer, fnishing in 1:50.21 and ffh
overall. Tis time is also the fastest
800 meters run by a Kansas male
since 2005.
Junior Natalie Becker also had a
career-best time in the 5,000-me-
ter event, fnishing 3.2 miles in
16:57.82. Tis time earned her the
victory and is number seven on
Kansas all-time performance list.
Te Jayhawks will be competing
in the John McDonnell Invitational
next weekend in Fayetteville, Ark.
Te invitational begins Friday with
hammer throw and discus events
and will conclude on Saturday. Te
Jayhawks will then return home
for the 86th Annual Kansas Relays
starting April 17.

Blackhawks rally and defeat Predators, snag playoff spot
ASSoCIAtED PRESS
CHICAGO Rookie Brandon
Saad and Jonathan Toews scored
55 seconds apart midway through
the third period, and the Chicago
Blackhawks rallied to beat the
Nashville Predators 5-3 on Sunday
night to become the frst team to
clinch a NHL playof spot this sea-
son.
Chicago (29-5-4) had fallen be-
hind 3-2 early in the third on a goal
by David Legwand, but Saad and
Toews connected against Pekka
Rinne to put the Blackhawks back
ahead.
Te Blackhawks defeated the
Predators for the second time in
two days and improved to 13-0-
1 against Central Division teams.
Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell
also scored for Chicago, and Patrick
Kane added an empty-net goal.
Shea Weber and Nick Spaling
each had a goal and an assist for the
Predators (15-17-8), who are 13th
in the Western Conference with
38 points, fve behind eighth-place
Detroit at the postseason cutof.
Chicagos Ray Emery stopped 19
shots, following a 20-save, 1-0 win
at Nashville on Saturday. Te Black-
hawks improved to 4-0 against the
Predators this season.
Rinne, who leads the NHL in
games and minutes played, made
35 saves as he appeared in his 29th
straight contest.
Both teams skated without key
forwards.
Nashville lef wing Gabriel
Bourque, who is tied with Legwand
for the team lead with 11 goals,
missed his fourth game because
of an upper body injury. Mike
Fisher, third on the Predators with
19 points, sat out afer aggravating
a hand injury that caused him to
miss three games last week.
Patrick Sharp, who led the Black-
hawks with 33 goals last season,
missed his 14th game with a shoul-
der injury. Dave Bolland sat out his
second because of a lower body in-
jury, believed to have been caused
when a shot by Weber struck him
last Monday.
Te Blackhawks killed of the
only penalty against them on Sun-
day and have snufed 17 straight
chances. Chicago hasnt allowed a
power-play goal in 10 games, dat-
ing to March 18.
Te Blackhawks entered the
game as the third-least penalized
team in the NHL, training the New
York Islanders and Rangers.
Shaw opened the scoring 6:34 in
on a tip-in.
Michael Frolik jumped on a re-
bound that Rinne had defected
to the lef boards, then turned
and fred on goal in one motion.
Shaw, who had slipped behind de-
fenseman Roman Josi and parked
in front, defected the puck over
Rinnes shoulder.
Te Blackhawks dominated the
frst period, outshooting the Preda-
tors 17-7. But a turnover by defen-
seman Johnny Oduya in the slot set
of a scramble that led to Spalings
goal that made it 1-1 with 2:44 lef.
Afer Oduya couldnt handle a
pass from Toews, Sergei Kostitsyn
grabbed the loose puck and shot
from a sharp angle to the right of
the net. Emery stopped that at-
tempt, but Spaling fred in the
rebound before Emery could re-
cover.
Bickell, who scored Chicagos
only goal on Saturday, put the
Blackhawks back in front 2-1 at
2:09 of the second.
Weber tied it at 2 just over three
minutes later, when he fred from
the top of the right circle directly
from a faceof win by Spaling. We-
bers high screened shot beat Em-
ery on the stick side.
Legwand scored on a rebound to
put Nashville ahead 3-2 at 6:54 of
the third to cap a scrum around the
Chicago net.
Emery stopped Webers shot
from right wing and Matt Halis-
chuk stuf-in attempt from the lef
side, but Legwand popped in a
loose puck from the crease.
Saad tied it at 3 at 9:37 from 10
feet. Afer fanning on a frst shot at-
tempt, defenseman Duncan Keith
swept in and fred a shot that Rinne
blocked. Saad converted the re-
bound.
Toews put Chicago ahead 4-3 at
10:32. Kane outraced two Predators
to a loose puck on the back boards,
then centered to Toews, who con-
nected on a low shot from the right
circle.
Kanes goal with 32 seconds lef
completed the scoring.

Te Kansas rowing team won
four of six races against Indiana
and Georgetown in Bloomington,
Ind. Te two losses came in the frst
and last races of the day.
Te regatta started with the nov-
ice eight race. Both Kansas novice
eight boats fell to the Indiana boat.
Te Jayhawks earned their frst
win in the third varsity four race.
Like the previous race, it was a
matchup between the Jayhawks and
the Hoosiers, with Georgetown not
participating in the frst two races.
Tis win was the beginning of the
four-race winning streak.
Te second varsity four race fol-
lowed. Te Jayhawk boat fnished
with a time of 8:54, making it the
fastest four boat of the day. Te sec-
ond varsity four rowers were senior
Emily Starr, junior Carley Iverson
and sophomores Angie Flores,
Andrea Joyce and coxswain Sarah
Lasini. Te third win came in the
frst varsity four race.
We have pretty good team depth
and that showed again today,
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said in
a Kansas Athletics news release.
Team-wise we continue to show
some good depth and strength in
the fours.
Te Kansas second varsity eight
boat continued its recent hot streak
with its fourth win in a row with a
time of 7:47.4. Rowers in this boat
were seniors Danielle Adam and
Cheyenne Verdoorn , juniors Caty
Clements and Amanda Lewis and
sophomores Julia Avery, Erin Bro-
gan, Jenni Hartzler, Jade Lambkins
and Claudijah Lever. Clements was
the coxswain.
Te day ended with Kansas plac-
ing second behind Indiana in the
frst varsity eight race. Kansas and
Georgetown battled hard for sec-
ond place.
Kansas, Indiana and George-
town competed on Lake Lemon in
Bloomington on April 6. Tis was
the frst meeting between Kansas
and each of these teams. Next up
for the Jayhawks is the Knecht Cup
in Camden, N.J., on April 13-14.

Te Kansas mens golf team is
fnding consistency, just not in its
purest form. Te team is a middle-
of-the-pack connoisseur and solidi-
fed that identity again this weekend
with a seventh place fnish at the
Irish Creek Collegiate in Charlotte.
Te team shot a three-round 872
(297)(287)(288), digging itself a
hole the frst round of the tourna-
ment and making it tough to gain
ground on the feld from its initial
13th- place start.
We made bogeys and double
bogeys in the last few holes that frst
round, coach Jamie Bermel said.
Guys hitting balls in the water, you
just cant do that.
Despite the opening day blun-
ders, the team was able to bounce
back for the remainder of the week-
end, thanks to seniors Alex Gute-
sha and Chris Gilbert. Gutesha got
his second top-10 fnish of the year
with a ninth place fnish while Gil-
bert earned his third straight top-20
fnish. Gilberts round was the teams
second best, but Bermel still saw
room for improvement.
Chris didnt putt it very well by
his standards, he had a few three
putts out there, Bermel said. Other
than that he played pretty good
just his putter was cold.
Bermel was pleased to solidify a
fourth spot on his lineup, however.
Ryley Haas scorecards counted for
each round of the tournament
enough for Bermel to make space
for the junior transfer going for-
ward.
He will be in the lineup for sure,
Bermel said.
Te clock is ticking for the Jay-
hawks though, and Bermels to-do
list for improvement remains fairly
long. Te team has yet to net a top-
fve fnish in 2013, but Bermel still
believes the team is making prog-
ress.
We are getting better and weve
got a long way to go but we are on
the right track, Bermel said. It was
a pretty good feld down here but
I think we are moving in the right
direction.
Te Jayhawks may have a long
way to go, but not to the postseason.
Te Jayhawks have one tournament
lef, Te Hawkeye/Great River En-
tertainment Invitational, before the
Big 12 Championships on April 22.
Te Jayhawks could easily improve
though, as the team fnished last in
the Big 12 tournament last year.

PHILADELPHIA Billy But-
ler hit a grand slam that was con-
frmed by video review and tied
a Royals franchise record with
seven RBIs, and Kansas City held
on for a 9-8 win over the Philadel-
phia Phillies on Sunday.
Butlers ffh-inning homer, the
frst slam of his career and the frst
ever allowed by Philadelphia lef-
hander Cole Hamels, put Kansas
City ahead 6-4.
James Shields (1-1), acquired
in an ofseason trade with Tampa
Bay, earned his frst victory as a
Royal. Te right-hander gave up
hits to fve of the frst six batters
in a four-run frst inning, but set-
tled down to blank the Phillies for
the next fve innings on fve hits
while striking out eight and walk-
ing none.
Butler came through with the
bases loaded again in the sixth,
hitting a two-run single of Chad
Durbin. With the hit, Butler be-
came the 12th Royals player have
seven RBIs.
Chris Getz opened the ffh
with a double to right, Alex Gor-
don reached on an infeld single
and Alcides Escobar walked to
load the bases and set up Butler.
Hamels (0-2) appeared visibly
upset throughout the inning, per-
haps disagreeing with some close
balls and strikes calls by home-
plate umpire Eric Cooper. His
mood didnt improve when Butler
launched a 1-0 fastball just over
the metal fence that tops the green
padded wall in lef feld. Te ball
hit of a wall behind the feld wall
and bounced back into play.
Te umpires originally ruled
that the ball hit of the top of the
wall before going to replay to con-
frm that it was a homer.
Te Phillies looked on their
way to the loss trailing 9-4 enter-
ing the ninth before rallying.
Jimmy Rollins hit a three-run
homer to right of J.C. Gutierrez.
Greg Holland relieved Gutierrez
with one out in the ninth. He got
Chase Utley to pop out to center
before singles by Ryan Howard
and Michael Young, who had four
hits, put runners on frst and sec-
ond with two outs.
Kansas City manager Ned Yost
then lifed Holland, who blew the
save in Saturdays 4-3 loss to Phil-
adelphia, and replaced him with
right-hander Kelvin Herrera to
face pinch-hitter Laynce Nix.
Nix singled home Howard
to pull Philadelphia to 9-8 and
Young and Nix advanced to sec-
ond and third on a wild pitch. But
Herrera struck out Erik Kratz in a
nine-pitch at-bat to earn his frst
save.
Te Phillies struck out 14 times
Sunday.

By about the bottom of the third
inning it didnt matter much what
pitch, or pitcher, No. 19 Oklahoma
State threw at Kansas.
Te Jayhawks small ball elimi-
nated every opportunity for the
Cowboys defense to stop a Kansas
team clawing its way above .500 in
conference play.
And with the Jayhawks reach-
ing base, Kansas coach Ritch Price
could care little about how far the
ball was fying.
We only have three home runs
for the season, Price said. By de-
sign, we tried to execute the short
game.
Te design: If a man gets on,
bunt. If you can move him over,
bunt. And if all else fails, bunt
again.
In the bottom of the frst inning,
sophomore infelder Justin Prota-
cio used a bunt from senior infeld-
er Kevin Kuntz to move into sec-
ond. One batter later, Sophomore
outfelder Michael Suiter knocked
Protacio home on another bunt af-
ter the Cowboys senior third base-
man Robbie Rea overthrew junior
frst baseman Tanner Krietemeier.
Te next pitch, senior infelder
Alex DeLeon used a sac bunt to
move Kuntz and Suiter into scor-
ing position, which set up sopho-
more outfelder and pitcher Dakota
Smiths ground out to second base
for an RBI.
Oklahoma States starting pitch-
er, sophomore Tyler Nurdin, en-
tered Sundays meeting with a 2.45
earned run average and a team-
leading 30 strikeouts, which prob-
ably would have fared well if the
Jayhawks were given the sign to
swing away.
But no such call was made and
the Jayhawks kept the Cowboys in-
feld moving throughout the game.
Price noted the small-ball style
takes a pitcher out of his rhythm.
His players proved him right.
When you play Big 12 teams
with power arms, to be able to exe-
cute bunts and get runners in scor-
ing positions is just huge, junior
center felder Tucker Tarp said.
Tarp speaks from experience.
He knocked in the eventual win-
ning run with, of course, a sacrifce
bunt in the bottom of the second.
When you execute the short
game its pretty fun to watch it un-
fold, Tarp said. It goes south for
the other team.
Its a game plan the Jayhawks are
sure to recycle. Since the start of the
Big 12 season, Kansas has batted
.232 with 58 strikeouts, the second
most in the conference, and the
least amount of walks, with 19.
For the Jayhawks to stay above
.500, it wont matter how they get
on base, so long as they do.
Te entire clubhouse under-
stands the importance of bunting.
It has found a new spot in the Jay-
hawks pregame routine.
Before we even stretch, Tarp
said. Tats the frst thing we work
on.

and a season-high nine rebounds
for the Pistons, who ended an

Carlos Boozer had 21 points
and 10 rebounds for the postsea-
son-bound Bulls, who are fghting
to secure the fourth seed in the

TORONTO Will Middle-
brooks hit three home runs, two of
NL CY Young Award winner R.A.
Dickey, and the Boston Red Sox
routed the Toronto Blue Jays 13-0
Sunday.
Middlebrooks went 4 for 5 with
four RBIs. He hit two home runs
of Dickey, a two-run shot to right
in the frst inning and a solo drive
into the second deck in lef in the
ffh. He connected again of Dave
Bush with a leadof longball to lef
in the seventh, the frst three-hom-
er game of his career.
Middlebrooks, who doubled and
scored in the third, fied out to the
warning track in his fnal at-bat in
the eighth.
Mike Napoli added a two-run
shot, and Jacoby Ellsbury and Dan-
iel Nava also went deep as the Red
Sox connected for six homers and
set season highs for runs and hits
(15), one day afer getting just two
hits in a 5-0 loss and set season
highs for runs and hits (15), one
day afer collecting just two hits in
a 5-0 loss.
Nava went back-to-back with
Middlebrooks in the seventh, a
homer that bounced of the top of
the wall in center feld and went
out. Its the frst time this season
the Red Sox have hit consecutive
home runs.
Ellsbury had three hits, includ-
ing a leadof homer into the second
deck in right in the eighth, his frst.
Tree batters later, Napoli capped
the rout with a home run to center,
his second. He fnished with four
RBIs.
Boston jumped on Dickey in the
frst, scoring fve runs before the
knuckleballer had recorded an out.
Ellsbury led of with a double,
Shane Victorino singled to center
and Dustin Pedroia drove in a run
with a groundball single through
the right side.
Napoli hit a two-run double and
Middlebrooks followed with a frst
pitch homer to right.
Even the outs Dickey got were
loud. Nava and Jarrod Saltalamac-
chia each fied out to the warn-
ing track before Jackie Bradley Jr.
struck out to end the inning.
Dickey (0-2) allowed eight runs
seven earned and 10 hits in
four 2-3 innings. It was his shortest
start and the most runs hed allowed
since giving up eight runs in four
1-3 innings of a 14-6 loss at Atlanta
last April 18, when he pitched for
the New York Mets.
Te fve frst inning runs allowed
by Dickey matched the amount he
gave up in the frst inning in all of
2012, when he made 33 starts.
Red Sox lef-hander Jon Lester
(2-0) allowed fve hits, all singles, in
seven shutout innings. He walked
none and struck out six, improving
to 6-2 with a 2.13 ERA in his past
nine starts at Rogers Centre.
Clayton Mortensen pitched the
fnal two innings for Boston.
Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista
was held out of the starting lineup,
the third straight game hes missed
with a sore right ankle. Te two-
time major league home run leader
twisted his ankle stepping on frst
base while beating out a double play
in the eighth inning last Tursday.

ATLANTA Teres no way
Wichita State is going to shock
anybody next season.
Te gritty team from the Mis-
souri Valley was picked to fnish
somewhere in the middle of the
conference this year, a fairly safe
guess considering the Shockers
lost all of their starters from a team
that earned a No. 5 seed in the
NCAA tournament last season.
But with an entirely new group
running the show, coach Gregg
Marshalls crew slowly came to-
gether this season, picking up
steam once they got healthy late
in the year and getting on the kind
of roll that Butler and VCU made
famous before them.
Te result was Wichita States
frst trip to the Final Four since
1965.
It ended with a blown second-
half lead and a disheartening loss
to Louisville on Saturday night,
but with leading scorer Cleantho-
ny Early and several other key con-
tributors returning, its a good bet
the Shockers will be tough again
next season. Its an even safer as-
sumption that their opponents will
be ready for them.
You know, its hard to lose your
last game. Everyone does it except
for three or four tournament win-
ners, Marshall said. Tis one is
especially hard because of the run
we went on. We set a school record
for wins, in the Final Four for the
second time in school history.
But we didnt say, Good bye,
Marshall said. We didnt say, Tis
is it. Tis is just the beginning. Tis
is just a beginning for us. A lot of
good players in that locker room,
all theyre talking about right now
is working hard this summer and
getting better.
Te Shockers tremendous run
is sure to make Marshall a hot
coaching candidate, but the for-
mer coach of Winthrop has said
repeatedly that hes happy in Wich-
ita, and that it would take the right
opportunity at just the right time
to ever pry him loose.
Especially with the kind of mo-
mentum the Shockers are riding.
Tey beat VCU early in the year,
knocked of Creighton the pride
of the Valley most of the year in
a mid-season tilt
at Koch Arena
in Wichita, and
then squeaked
into the tour-
ney as a No. 9
seed paired in
the same region
as Gonzaga, the
No. 1 team in
the AP Top 25
at the end of the
regular season.
Te Shockers were never intimi-
dated, though, and they proved the
stage was never too big for them.
Tey rolled through Pitts-
burgh, and then raised eyebrows
when they busted brackets with a
win over the Zags. Tey headed
to Los Angeles for the West Re-
gional semifnals and took care of
La Salle, and then held of Ohio
State down the stretch to reach the
Georgia Dome.
It looked for a while as if their
dream run would continue, too.
Wichita State managed to take a
26-25 lead over Louisville at half-
time and extended it to 12 in the
second half, only for the Cardinals
intense full-court pressure to f-
nally set in.
Te Shockers wound up losing
72-68, sending Louisville into the
title game against Michigan.
We have to be appreciative
and understand what it takes to
get here, said Fred VanVleet, who
along with fellow freshman Ron
Baker was critical to the Shockers
postseason charge.
Its a huge stepping-stone and
something we can look back on
and work for, VanVleet said.
Guys that are coming back, now
we have motivation for next year
because no matter what, we can
sit back and say, We didnt make
it. So that will be good motivation
for us.
Tere will be
pieces to replace,
of course. Tere
almost always is.
Te Shock-
ers heart and
soul, all-energy
forward Carl
Hall, will have
graduated, and
senior guard
Malcolm Arm-
stead whose poise was so cru-
cial in March will be gone. Role
players Ehimen Orukpe, Demetric
Williams and Kadeem Coleby will
also move on with their lives.
But theres plenty of production
coming back, led by Early, the ju-
nior forward who made just about
every power conference coach look
silly for overlooking him coming
out of junior college when he had
24 points and 10 rebounds against
the Cardinals in the national semi-
fnals.
Baker fnished with 11 points
and eight rebounds for the Shock-
ers, Tekele Cotton just a soph-
omore had nine points, and
VanVleet wound up playing 23
minutes in the Final Four.
All of them will be back, none of
them sneaking up on anybody.
Were still not satisfed, Cotton
said. Were going to come back
next year, come at it again, and
work hard during the summer and
get better. Well get right back here
next year.

With an 0-3 record in Big 12
play, the Kansas tennis team trav-
eled south to take on two nationally
ranked teams with hopes of making
up ground in the rest of the confer-
ence. Unfortunately for Kansas, the
road trip yielded two losses.
Needing a win in conference play
to keep early hopes alive, Kansas
was unable to clamp down on No.
42 Baylor or No. 35 TCU. Falling to
0-5 in Big 12 play the Jayhawks have
a lot of work to do, but there were
some good things to take away from
this road trip.
For the second time this spring,
the Jayhawks defeated an Interna-
tional Tennis Association-ranked
singles player. On Friday, Maria
Belen Luduea bested ITA No.
120 Victoria Kisialeva (4-6, 3-1) to
earn one of the two points in the
5-2 loss. Te other point came from
freshman Anastasija Trubica, who
downed Maria Biryukova (6-3, 3-3).
Te Jayhawks never were able to es-
tablish a presence in doubles play as
the team was swept 3-0.
On Sunday, Kansas was in Fort
Worth, Texas, and the Horned Frogs
were not in a playful mood as TCU
dispatched Kansas 7-0. Te pace
started rough for the Jayhawks, who
lost two of the three doubles match-
es on the way to surrendering all six
singles matches, two of which came
at the hands of ITA top-120 players.
Te lone victory came from Paulina
Los and Luduea, who have been
consistent this year, but the rest of
the doubles play has been suspect
since conference play started.
Now riding a 19-game conference
losing streak, the Jayhawks will aim
to regroup and erase that number
when Texas comes to Lawrence on
Friday. Kansas needs a home game
to notch that elusive frst Big 12 vic-
tory of the spring. Te match is at 2
p.m. at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

Freshman Maria Belen Luduea returns the ball during her match against her Oklahoma opponent Friday afternoon at the Jayhawk tennis Center. Luduea won 6-3, 2-6,
and 10-6.
LOS ANGELES Chris Paul
held up the red T-shirt reading
Cant Stop Los Angeles for a quick
post-game photo. He didnt put it
on, and neither did his Clippers
teammates.
Tere was no celebrating on
court or in the locker room afer
they beat the Lakers 109-95 on
Sunday to clinch the Clippers frst
Pacifc Division title in franchise
history against a team that has long
overshadowed them.
It just feels like something we
were supposed to do, said Paul,
who had 24 points and 12 assists.
It means were headed in the right
direction. Were not satisfed. We
understand this is something small
compared to the big picture.
Blake Grifn had 24 points and
12 rebounds as the playof-bound
Clippers swept the Lakers 4-0 for
the frst time since Donald Sterling
bought the team in 1981.
Te 1974-75 team, known as the
Bufalo Braves, had the franchises
only other sweep of the Lakers.
Fans chanted, Sweep! Sweep! in
the closing seconds.
Sterling accepted a congratula-
tory handshake from a fan afer the
game.
Its always good to sweep a team
in your division, in the West, said
Grifn, savoring the frst division
title of his young career. Im proud
of how we won the game a little bit
diferently. We kept up a nice tempo
the whole game.
Jamal Crawford had 20 points of
the bench, DeAndre Jordan had 13
rebounds and Caron Butler scored
14 points for the Clippers, who
knew that even if they lost, they
could have clinched later Sunday if
Utah won at Golden State.
We didnt want to do it that way,
Paul said. We wanted to clinch on
our own terms.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro
said, You have to earn it and today
we did.
As the division winner, the Clip-
pers are guaranteed a top-four seed
but will only open the playofs with
home-court advantage if they fnish
the season with a better record than
the team in ffh, which currently is
Memphis.
Hopefully, were playing well at
the right time going to the playofs,
Crawford said.
He chalked up winning the divi-
sion title at home against the Lakers
to the basketball gods set it up that
way.
Dwight Howard scored 25
points, including 9 of 13 free
throws, for the Lakers, who played
without injured starters Steve Nash
and Metta World Peace. Kobe Bry-
ant added 25 points, 10 assists and
seven rebounds, and Pau Gasol had
12 points and 13 rebounds as the
Lakers three-game winning streak
ended.
Playing as the home team, the
Clippers dealt their Staples Center
co-tenants playof hopes a serious
blow.
Te Lakers fell into a tie with
Utah for the eighth and fnal playof
berth in the West. If the Jazz won
later, they would move a half-game
ahead of the Lakers, who have fve
regular-season games lef. Te Jazz
own the tiebreaker with the Lakers.
Weve got a bigger challenge
than worrying about beating the
Clippers in one game, Bryant
said. Tey obviously performed
extremely well against us all four
times. Our concern is playing well
in order to get into the playofs, get
guys healthy, and go in there and
see what we can do.
Te Lakers led by seven points to
start the game before the Clippers
took the lead for good. Te Lak-
ers owned a two-point edge in the
paint, but Clippers had more sec-
ond-chance and fast-break points.
Tey also controlled the boards,
50-36.
Tey made some pretty tough
shots, and they had players come in
and make some big baskets under
duress, Bryant said. Tey kind of
kept us at bay and they would get
some turnovers and get out in tran-
sition.
Te game featured three of the
NBAs top-fve dunkers in Grifn,
Howard and Jordan. Tey all got
some alley-oops in, although the
Clippers usual Lob City show didnt
emerge in force until the fourth.
Tats when Paul fed Grifn on a
fast break late in the game and Grif-
fn raced in for a one-handed jam.
Paul stole the ball from Howard and
sped up court before fipping it to
Jordan for a monster slam.
Tats how were supposed to
play, Jordan said. As long as we
bring that type of energy from jump
ball to the end of the game, well be
OK.
Te Clippers stretched a seven-
point halfime lead to 14 points in
the third on a 3-pointer by Butler
afer leading 56-49 at halfime.
CINCINNATI Johnny Cueto
outlasted Stephen Strasburg in
a highly anticipated matchup of
young aces and Jay Bruce drove in
three runs as the Cincinnati Reds
wrapped up an impressive open-
ing week homestand with a 6-3 win
over the Washington Nationals on
Sunday.
Cueto needed 108 pitches to get
through six innings, allowing sev-
en hits and three runs. He walked
three and struck out six. Aroldis
Chapman allowed one hit and had
two strikeouts in the ninth for his
second save.
Strasburg (1-1) allowed nine hits
and six runs with four walks and
fve strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings. He
threw 114 pitches, 73 for strikes.
Bruce, Shin-Soo Choo, Xavier
Paul and Brandon Phillips each
had two hits to back Cueto (1-0)
and help the Reds win the rubber
match of their three-game series
with Washington. Tey fnished
4-2 at home against the Nationals
and Los Angeles Angels, two teams
expected to contend this season for
post-season berths.
Cincinnati lef-hander Sean
Marshall pitched the seventh in his
frst appearance of the season afer
getting over what he described as
shoulder fatigue. Jonathan Broxton
worked the eighth.
Te Reds knocked Strasburg
out with a three-run sixth. Rookie
Derrick Robinson, called up on
Wednesday to replace the injured
Ryan Ludwick, led of with his frst
major league hit, a sharp one-hop-
per just out of the reach of diving
third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
Robinson went to third on
Choos single to center and slid
across the plate with the go-ahead
run just ahead of second baseman
Danny Espinosas throw on Pauls
felders choice.
Both runners moved up on Joey
Vottos chopper to Strasburg and
Phillips singled to lef through the
drawn-in infeld to drive in Paul
and end Strasburgs day. Ryan Mat-
theus relieved Strasburg, and Bruce
greeted him with a run-scoring
infeld single to shortstop Ian Des-
mond.
Te duel between the two right-
handers nearly fzzled early.
Strasburg allowed as many hits
in the frst inning Sunday as he
did while throwing seven shutout
innings against Miami during a
2-0 win in Washingtons opener
on April 1. Four straight runners
reached base, including Paul and
Phillips with infeld singles and
Bruce with a bases-loaded, two-run
double. Phillips scored the Reds
third run of the inning on Todd
Fraziers groundout.
Te Nationals immediately tied
the score in the second on Des-
monds double to lef-center, Dan-
ny Espinosas walk and Kurt Suzu-
kis 357-foot home run into the lef
feld seats.

OKLAHOMA CITY Driving
to the basket in crunch time, Ray-
mond Felton slipped to the foor
and lost the basketball in the pro-
cess. All he could do was lunge back
at it and bat it toward J.R. Smith as
the shot clock ticked closer to zero.
For the second straight posses-
sion, Smith beat the buzzer this
time with a 3-pointer and the
Knicks closed out a 125-120 vic-
tory against the Oklahoma City
Tunder on Sunday.
He makes plays like that. He
makes tough shots. Sometimes I
think he likes to take the tougher
shot than the easier shot. Tey still
go in, said teammate Carmelo An-
thony, who had 36 points and 12
rebounds while moving ahead of
Kevin Durant to become the NBAs
top scorer.
Tat shot, it was a nail in the
cofn, Anthony said.
Smith fnished with 22 points,
including the two biggest shots of
the game. He connected on a 23-
foot jumper from the right wing as
the 24-second clock expired to put
New York up 117-113 with 1:30 to
play, then swished a 3-pointer with
56.8 seconds lef that all but sealed
New Yorks 50th win of the season.
It was just a freak accident, a
great play, Felton said. I slipped,
knocked the ball to him and he did
the rest. He knocked down the big
shot.
Te victory was the Knicks
12th in a row and put them at 50
wins for the frst time in 13 years.
Tey also moved 2 games ahead
of Indiana for second place in the
Eastern Conference and moved
onto the doorstep of clinching the
Atlantic Division title.
Russell Westbrook had 37 points,
11 rebounds and eight assists for
Oklahoma City, which fell a game
behind San Antonio for frst place
in the West with fve games lef.
Te Tunder had gained control
of the race for frst by beating the
Spurs but were unable to complete
a three-game sweep of San Anto-
nio, Indiana and New York in a less
than 72-hour span.
Were good. Weve got fve more
games to go, said Durant, who
scored 27. We lost a tough one.
Tis team, they
shot the ball well
tonight. Tey
hit some tough
shots all night.
We forced them
to shoot some
tough ones and
they hit them.
Youve got to
tip your hat to
them, but other
than that, whats the need to panic
for? Were good, Durant said.
Anthonys scoring average im-
proved one-tenth of a point to
28.44, while Durants stayed about
the same at 28.35.
Anthony, playing at Oklahoma
City for the frst time since April
2010, added to one of the more col-
orful histories of any visiting player
despite failing to extend his run
of 40-point games to four. He tied
Bernard Kings Knicks record with
three in a row, going for 50, 40 and
41 in his previous three games.
Anthony hit game-winners in
the closing seconds of Denvers
only two games at Oklahoma City
in 2009, then was knocked uncon-
scious in the third quarter before
returning in the fourth as the Nug-
gets rallied to win the 2010 game.
He had missed his fnal chance
with the Nuggets afer his sisters
death and then sat out last seasons
meeting because of wrist and ankle
injuries.
Tis time, he came up with a sea-
son-high nine ofensive rebounds
as the Knicks amassed 23 points of
of 19 ofensive boards. Anthonys
last three baskets came on tip-ins.
He twice put back his own misses,
then tipped in Smiths missed free
throw in the fnal minute to help
close it out.
Tis is probably one of the big-
gest wins weve had in a long time,
Anthony said. Just for the simple
fact that its on the road, its against
a great Tunder team. Weve been
playing well. For us to come out
here and keep our
composure and
win on the road
and win here
this is a tough
place to win.
It was just the
sixth home loss
for the Tunder,
who snapped
a string of 21
straight games at
Chesapeake Energy Arena that had
been decided by double digits 18
wins, three losses.
New York had a season high in
scoring and the most points of any
Tunder opponent this season, get-
ting 16 from Felton, 15 from Tyson
Chandler 14 from Jason Kidd and
13 from Chris Copeland.
Teyre hot, Durant said. Car-
melo was hitting shots over Serge
(Ibaka) with a hand in his face, he
was meeting him at the rim. He was
missing, but he was getting those
tips, and they were hitting 3s. ... We
were down two and J.R. Smith hit
two tough jump shots in a row. I
think our defense was good, as far
as putting a hand up.
Anthonys relentlessness on the
boards paid of. He twice stretched
one-point leads with tip-ins of his
own misses before Smith fnally
provided a bigger cushion. On one
of the ofensive rebounds, Anthony
chipped one of Chandlers teeth.
He attributed his strong play to
being healthy again, afer missing
time this season with fnger, ankle
and knee injuries, and being moti-
vated by the approaching playofs.
Its the end of the season, the
last month. Everybodys fghting for
spots. Te playofs are right around
the corner, Anthony said.

This is probably one of

the biggest wins weve
had in a long time.
