reports of paternos death
lead to editors resignation
A student editor resigned and profes-
sional news organizations were embarrassed
saturday after a false report about former
pennsylvania state University football coach
Joe paternos death 12 hours before he actu-
ally died.
According to a time line report by Jeff
sonderman from The poynter Institute, On-
ward state, a student-run website for penn
state, frst mis-reported paternos death at
8:45 p.m. EsT in a tweet stating Our sources
can now confrm: Joseph Vincent paterno
has passed away tonight at the age of 85.
Its source said an email was sent to football
players about paternos death.
The colleges radio station, WBHV-Fm 94.5,
echoed the statement 20 minutes later, but
did not name a source.
After the Onward state report, CBs sports
published an obituary on its website, but did
not attribute the breaking news to Onward
state. msNBCs Breaking News, The Huff-
ington post and poynter also published the
story.
Other news organizations waited for the
Associated press to confrm, but started
disputing the reports citing paterno family
spokesman, Dan mcGinn, who said the re-
ports were false.
Then the organizations originally report-
ing the false stories retracted or edited their
reports. CBs sports pushed the blame to
Onward state by adding its attribution to the
original story.
In a letter to readers, Onward state man-
aging editor Devon Edwards an apology to
anyone mis lead by the report. He also wrote
that he would step down from his position.
I take full responsibility for the events
that transpired tonight, and for the black
mark upon the organization that I have
caused.

year of the dragon
kiCk off the new year
In the first week of the semester,
graffiti appeared on three campus
buildings.
Watson Library, Twente Hall,
Fraser Hall and sidewalks between
them were all sprayed with red paint.
The incoherent and misspelled mes-
sages referenced Republican presi-
dential candidate Ron Paul.
CJ Jernberg, an employee in the
Paint and Sign Shop of Facilities
Operations, said typically the
department would have cleaned
the graffiti off within 24 hours, but
because they use a water and silica
sand power washer employees have
to wait for temperatures to be above
freezing. He said he hoped that
temperatures would be high enough
to start cleaning buildings by the
afternoon on Monday Jan. 23.
Jernberg said the silica sand
washer is the safest way to clean
buildings without damaging stone
and mortar. He said ideally a soda
power washer would be used for
graffiti, but the silica sand washer
can be used for a variety of other
cleaning needs.
Jernberg said the most common
areas for graffiti are in the tunnel
between Eaton and Lindley Halls,
the Art and Design building and the
outside stairwells of Wescoe Hall.
He said commonly graffiti appears
on buildings, sidewalks and campus
signs.
Sometimes its political, some-
times its someones art and some-
times its down right disgusting,
Jernberg said.
He said last spring the University
cleaned graffiti off buildings at least
once a month, but there has been
other times when campus has been
graffiti free for several months.
Members of University Relations
and the Public Safety Office were
unavailable for comment on Friday.
Audience members didnt need to
share a common language or culture
to enjoy last nights Greater Kansas
Chinese Dragon Year Gala at the
Lied Center.
Te KU Chinese Student and
Scholar Friendship Association
worked with several other Kansas
area student groups and organiza-
tions to put together the Chinese
New Year celebration which featured
more than 200 performers. Perfor-
mances included traditional dances,
music and martial arts numbers as
well as acts that combined Chinese
and American culture, like the KU
Concert Choir performing a Chi-
nese song, accompanied by a tradi-
tional ensemble. Kansas Lieutenant
Governor, Jef Colyer, attended the
gala and reminded the audience that
this week marked the Kansass frst
Chinese New Year Week.
Shenji Pan, a junior from Chang-
shu, Jiangsu, China, and president
of the KUCSSFA said the group
wanted the show to promote Chinas
culture, cultivate a friendship be-
tween the U.S. and China as well as
provide Kansans an opportunity to
learn more about China.
You can see this infux of Chinese
students, which also brings about
this interaction between U.S. and
Chinas younger generations, Pan
said. Teres no one culture better
than the other. Its all about interact-
ing with each other and fnding this
harmony.
Jiayu Ma, a sophomore from
Wuxi, China, and the KUCSSFA
member responsible for marketing
the show was excited to be bringing
her culture to such a large audience.
Chinese New Year is a very big
celebration for us Chinese people,
Ma said. And this is the dragon
year, the most important year.
Ma said the year of the dragon
is signifcant because the dragon is
associated with luck and power in
Chinese culture.
If youre born in the year of the
dragon, which is a 12 year cycle,
youre suppose to wear red under-
wear for the whole year, Pan said.
Tat means good luck for the
year.
Like Christmas, the holiday
comes with plenty of unique
traditions. For Ma , the show was
the pay-of for six months of time
and efort she put into promoting
the gala, but for other Chinese
students forced to spend their most
signifcant holiday away from family,
the nights performances provided
much needed comfort.
Every spring festival is afer the
semester has started, so we cannot
go back to China, said Le Wei, a
senior from Henan, Zhengzhou,
China. Its been fve years for me
not with my family. For an Ameri-
can, it would be like not celebrating
Christmas.
Wei said that his family always
eats dumplings at their New Years
celebration. Giving money to
children is also traditional and is
thought to bring good luck for the
year, Ma said.
Franziska Buchler, a graduate stu-
dent from Munich, Germany, came
to the gala to enjoy the performanc-
es and learn more about a diferent
culture. She even researched the
year of the dragon before the event.
I think for Kansas people its re-
ally nice to learn more about it, Bu-
chler said.

DETROIT The federal gov-
ernment now says a 101-year-old
Detroit woman it promised could
move back into her foreclosed
home four months ago cant return
because the buildings unsanitary
and unsafe.
Texana Hollis was evicted Sept.
12 and her belongings placed out-
side after her 65-year-old son failed
to pay property taxes linked to a
reverse mortgage, The Detroit News
reported in a story Sunday. Two
days later, the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development
said she could return.
But now, HUD said it wont let
Hollis move back in because of the
houses condition. She had lived
there about 60 years.
Here I am, 100 years old, and
dont have a home, Hollis said,
rounding off her age. Oh Lord,
help me.
Department spokesman Brian
Sullivan told The Detroit News
that an inspection determined the
house was completely unsuitable
for a person to live in.
We cant allow someone to live
in that (atmosphere) now that we
are essentially the owners of the
property, Sullivan said. The home
isnt safe; its not sanitary. Its cer-
tainly not suitable for anyone to
live in, especially not a 101-year-old
mother.
HUD doesnt want to pay to fix
up the house, but Sullivan said the
departments seeking other agen-
cies that might help with the work
and get Hollis back into her home.
Were not giving up, Sullivan
said. Were talking with anybody
and everybody about solutions to
this situation, but the condition of
the property is a challenge.
After hearing about her longtime
friends eviction, Pollian Cheeks,
68, offered Hollis a room at her
home within a mile of Hollis house.
Hollis, who once taught Cheeks
in Sunday school at St. Philips
Lutheran Church, agreed to the
invitation and has been staying at
Cheeks house in the meantime.
Pollys just as nice to me as any-
body could be. She goes out of her
way to help me, Hollis said, hold-
ing back tears. Its just like living at
home, but its not my home.

Beijings measurements uncover

In the midst of a tough econo-
my, students are diversifying their
undergraduate experiences to be
more competitive in the post-
graduation job market.
Dan Simon, a junior major-
ing in microbiology from Olathe,
works in a lab on campus studying
Chlamydia, which allows him to
gain real-world research experi-
ence that employers often look
for.
Its important to make yourself
stand out, Simon said. Lots of
students get good grades, but with
contributing to original research,
you dont just learn, you do.
Since the beginning of his soph-
omore year, Simon has worked
under Scott Hefty, a KU assis-
tant professor of molecular bio-
sciences,. While he first worked
to learn the technical language
and high-level concepts, he even-
tually took on his own project
funded by the American Society
for Microbiology Undergraduate
Research Fellowship. Only 28
other students in the nation have
received funding for projects, and
Simon will present his work next
year at a national convention in
San Francisco.
Being able to have my own
research project has been the
most significant experience of
my undergraduate career, Simon
said.
Simon obtained his current
position from making cold calls to
professors to see if they had open
positions in their lab. After look-
ing into Heftys previous work and
considering his own interests, he
knew he found a good match.
Professors are really excited
when undergraduates are inter-
ested in their research and are
encouraging and helpful in assist-
ing them participate in research
projects, Simon said.
Paul Atchley, associate chair of
undergraduate studies and profes-
sor of cognitive psychology, thinks
flexibility and diverse experience
are important for undergraduates.
What employees are looking
for are folks who have skills out-
side of just their degree, Atchley
said. No student should expect
that just taking classes and getting
their degree will lead to success.
Atchley suggests students look
into studying abroad, service
learning opportunities, such as
Big Brothers Big Sisters, and par-
ticipating in research, like Simon.
These experiences grow students
who are flexible, work well with
others, and are skilled in informa-
tion literacy skills that employ-
ees are looking for, Atchley said.
While specialized degrees can
teach technical skills, Atchley also
recommends graduates increase
their capabilities not directly relat-
ed to their curriculum.
Thinking critically, the ability
to write, and working with infor-
mation and other people is impor-
tant, Atchley said. Its not about
learning facts, its about learning
processes. Thats what employers
need intelligent, curious, social
employees.
In the future, KU is looking to
redesign its degree programs to
include greater course diversity.

Students look
to diversify
their studies
BEIRUt A clash between Syrian forces and army defectors erupted
Sunday in a suburb of the tightly held capital of Damascus, adding urgency
just as the Arab League was extending an observers mission that so far has
failed to end long months of bloody violence.
The two events outlined how an uprising against President Bashar Assad
that started with mass popular protests is moving now toward an armed
confict that could draw international intervention an outcome the Arab
League is trying to avoid.
The observer mission is supposed to be the frst step toward implementing
an Arab League plan to end the Syria crisis. Other points are pulling heavy Syr-
ian weapons out of cities, stopping attacks on protesters, opening talks with
the opposition and allowing foreign human rights workers and journalists in.
Thani told reporters after the meeting that the Arab League was launching
a new initiative to solve the crisis in which the Syrian government and the
opposition would form a unity government with in two weeks to lead to the
country through a transitional period in which elections would be held and a
new constitution written.
It was seen as highly unlikely that Syrian authorities or the leaders of Syr-
ias scattered opposition would agree to such a plan.
PhILIPSBURG, St. Maarten Laura Dekker set a steady foot aboard
a dock in St. Maarten on Saturday, ending a yearlong voyage aboard a sailboat
named Guppy that apparently made her the youngest person ever to sail
alone around the globe, though her trip was interrupted at several points.
Dekker arrived in St. Maarten after struggling against high seas and heavy
winds on a fnal, 41-day leg from Cape Town, South Africa.
There were moments where I was like, What the hell am I doing out here?,
but I never wanted to stop, she told reporters. Its a dream, and I wanted
to do it.
The teenager covered more than 27,000 nautical miles on a trip with stops
that sound like a skim through a travel magazine: the Canary Islands, Pana-
ma, the Galapagos Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Bora Bora, Australia, South Africa and
now, St. Maarten, from which she set out on Jan. 20, 2011.
Unlike other young sailors who recently crossed the globe, Dekker repeat-
edly anchored at ports along the way to sleep, study and repair her 38-foot
(11.5-meter) sailboat.
During her trip, she went surfng, scuba diving, cliff diving and discovered
a new hobby: playing the fute, which she said in her weblog was easier to play
than a guitar in bad weather.
KANo, Nigeria People in this north Nigeria city once wore surgical
masks to block the dust swirling through its sprawling neighborhoods, but
swarming children hawked the masks for pennies apiece Sunday to block the
stench of death at a hospital overfowing with the dead following a coordi-
nated attack by a radical Islamist sect.
The Nigerian Red Cross now estimates more than 150 people died in Fri-
days attack in Kano, which saw at least two suicide bombers from the sect
known as Boko Haram detonate explosive-laden cars. The scope of the attack,
apparently planned to free sect members held by authorities here, left even
President Goodluck Jonathan speechless as he toured what remained of a
regional police headquarters Sunday.
The federal government will not rest until we arrest the perpetrators of
this act, Jonathan said earlier.
Fridays attacks by Boko Haram hit police stations, immigration offces and
the local headquarters of Nigerias secret police in Kano.
Nigerias weak central government repeatedly has been unable to stop at-
tacks by Boko Haram, whose name means Western education is sacrilege in
the Hausa language of Nigerias north. The group has carried out increasingly
sophisticated and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah
law and avenge the deaths of Muslims in communal violence across Nigeria.
BEIJING Caving to public pressure, Beijing environmental authori-
ties started releasing more detailed air quality data Saturday that may bet-
ter refect how bad the Chinese capitals air pollution is. But one expert says
measurements from the frst day were low compared with data U.S. offcials
have been collecting for years.
The readings of PM2.5 particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in
size or about 1/30th the average width of a human hair were being posted
on Beijings environmental monitoring centers website. Such small particu-
lates can penetrate deep into the lungs, so measuring them is considered a
more accurate refection of air quality than other methods.
It is the frst time Beijing has publicly revealed PM2.5 data and follows a
clamor of calls by citizens on social networking sites tired of breathing in gray
and yellow air.
Steven Andrews, an environmental consultant who has studied Beijings
pollution data since 2006, said he was already a bit suspicious of Beijings
PM2.5 data. Within the 24-hour period to noon Saturday, Beijing reported sev-
en hourly fgures at the very low level of 0.003 milligrams per cubic meter.
In all of 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Embassy reported values at or below that
level only 18 times out of over 15,000 hourly values or about 0.1 percent of the
time, said Andrews.

Etta James, the fiery blues singer
known best for her uncharacteris-
tically sweet ballad At Last, died
Friday morning in Riverside, Calif.,
after a long battle with chronic leu-
kemia. She was 73.
One of the first women induct-
ed into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, James began her career
in 1954, at the age of 15, with
her group The Creolettes and the
racy-for-its-time hit Roll With
Me Henry. Her bold delivery and
powerful voice quickly separated
her from the crowd, as did her
groundbreaking choice of material,
leading Atlantic Records producer
Jerry Wexler to call her the great-
est of all modern blues singers.
This is a tremendous loss for
the family, her friends and fans
around the world, longtime friend
and manager, Lupe De Leon told
CNN. She was a true original who
could sing it all her music defied
category.
James, born Jamesetta Hawkins
in Los Angeles in 1938, was tough-
talking and forward in her music
scoring hits with Good Rockin
Daddy and I Just Wanna Make
Love to You and W.O.M.A.N., an
answer song to Bo Diddleys Im a
Man. But there was also an ache
in her voice, even before her very
public battle with heroin addiction
in the 60s and 70s, that showed
she wasnt invincible, especially in
All I Could Do Was Cry and in
her interpretations of such classics
as Someone to Watch Over Me
and My Funny Valentine.
Music was thunder and joy,
lightning bolts of happiness and
praise, foot-stomping, dance-
shouting, good-feeling singing
from the soul, James wrote in her
autobiography, Rage to Survive:
The Etta James Story. I was also
lucky to have the lungs to keep
up with these bad boys. When it
came to singing, I was no shrink-
ing violet.
There has been a surge in inter-
est in James music in recent years,
following Beyonces portrayal of
her in the movie Cadillac Records
in 2008 and the use of At Last
for Barack and Michelle Obamas
first dance after his inauguration
in 2009, pushing James version of
the song back onto the pop charts.
On the current season of The
X Factor, teenage singer Rachel
Crow chose James wrenching Id
Rather Go Blind as her theme,
while the years biggest star, Adele,
has called James her favorite sing-
er ever.
Everything she singsyou
believe her, even if she never wrote
a word of it herself, Adele told
The Observer last year. I saw her
live in New York not so long ago:
extraordinary. There she was, at
the age of 71, singing, I want to
ta ta you, babyalmost groping
herself, as if the meaning wasnt
clear enough already. She just has
so much attitude.
James retired from recording in
2011, after releasing her final album
The Dreamer in November, fea-
turing her hard-hitting takes on
everything from Otis Reddings
Cigarettes and Coffee to Guns N
Roses Welcome to the Jungle.
I wish to thank all my fans who
have shown me love and support
over all these years, James said
in a statement accompanying the
albums release. I love you all.

ORLANDO, Fla. Gina
Carano is the 29-year-old daugh-
ter of a former backup quarter-
back for the Dallas Cowboys and
a cheerleader-pretty mom. And
those two ends of the gene pool
have been having a knock-down
drag-out fight in her from the
get-go.
Growing up, I was a big
Pride and Prejudice fan, she
says. But I kind of got into True
Romance and Braveheart, too.
You know, ACTION films.
Pretty enough to model, she
took up martial arts as well. And
thanks to her skills in the ring
and her drop-kick-dead good
looks, she became a stand-out
star in the world of professional
mixed martial arts.
Waitdidnt anybody tell her
you dont want to mess up that
pretty face?
Was I ever warned? My
dad did. LOTS of times. And I
dont think my mom ever gave
a thought when she was writing
that first check for me to take
Muay Thai lessons that I would
go and start competing.
And compete she did, piling
up wins and winning fans. One
of those fans was the filmmaker
Steven Soderbergh (Oceans
Eleven, Contagion). In Carano,
he saw a female action actor who
could kick the $#% out of any
cast he could assemble around
her. So he assembled some big-
name actors and put Carano in
Haywire, which has her play-
ing a secret agent fighting her
way through legions of bad guys.
Carano may be Hollywoods next
big thing.
Its been a wonderful, won-
derful risk, Carano says of the
path she took to the world of
film. I took that risk and got a
wonderful life and better oppor-
tunities.
As a girl, shed studied jazz, tap
and ballet dancing, which makes
fight choreography come easy to
her. Soderbergh has been tell-
ing one and all that his hardest
job was convincing co-stars like
Michael Fassbender that they
didnt have to go easy on her just
because shes a woman.
Not that Hollywood didnt give
her a moment of truth or two.
When the baggage you bring to
the set is how tough you are, they
dont worry about scaring you.

To pay homage to the Gringotts vault
in Harry Potter, my rec locker always has
the combo 713.
If youre going to screw with me on
the road, at least have the balls to stop
next to me at the light...pussy.
These days, I enjoy glorious German
opera on my way to class. It seems to
help against the cold.
Im sick of people bashing on frat
packs... Apologies to the people who
cant fnd friends to walk to class with.
Governments that try to censor the
internet are SOPAthetic.
I love walking around campus on
Friday mornings... It makes me feel like
less of an alcoholic.
Am I the only one who thinks the
editor of the FFAs is just like the ever
mysterious gossip girl?
Editors note: You know you love me.
XOXO, FFA editor.
Does the UDK touch up the photos or
are our basketball players that ripped?
Editors note: Theyre just that ripped.
Sometimes you wonder if Withy
knows @fakejeffwithy is more popular
than him. Or did fakewithy make him
popular?
Is it bad that I look like a man when it
is freezing outside and I am bundled up?
I swear I have nice boobs.
My professor sounds like Morton from
family guy and looks like Sheldon from
big bang theory. Its so entertaining.
My English teacher just referred to
diction as a fancy word. Im paying
for this?
Editors note: You spelled teacher
incorrectly. Maybe you are getting your

Just passed a guy wearing a hoodie
that said Im not an asshole. I wish all

their personalities.
I swear its like The Hunger Games

Trying to sneak on the bus from the

KUs phone app needs a GPS bus

Always on schedule? Right....
I was so drunk that once I tried to call

Editors note: Dont feel bad; it hap-

So I met Dan the bus driver today and

S
omething happened afer the
2008 election. Greater turn-
out of young voters provided
a boost for the Obama campaign,
and when he won the presidency,
the Republican Party panicked.
Te panic resulted in a slew of
states passing laws requiring voters
to show photo identifcation at the
polls, as well as some laws elimi-
nating early voting on Sundays.
Te government cannot over-
reach its power and begin imped-
ing the ability of certain age groups
and other specifc populations of
citizens to reach the polls. Such a
practice is disturbingly reminis-
cent of the poll tax.
According to the New York
Times, the Brennan Center for
Justice at New York University
Law School conducted a study that
found at least fve million legal, eli-
gible voters would face difculties
at the polls if these laws were still
in efect in 2012. Tis is largely
because a portion of the electorate,
ofen groups who are marginalized
in other ways due to economic
status or minority status, does not
have state-issued photo identifca-
tion.
Tese laws also specifcally af-
fect students who are not trying to
subvert the law but simply want to
exercise their right to vote.
Tis is a specifc efort targeted at
young people and students because
of their inclination to vote for the
Democratic candidate. Tey are
targeted because they ofen have
to vote away from home, and these
laws have efectively invalidated
many college IDs as a form of
identifcation (as some universities
now must revamp their student ID
card systems, which takes time and
money), causing problems for out-
of-state students trying to register
to vote (New York Times, Dec.
2011).
By taking away measures that fa-
cilitate voting for students, a group
that already votes in small num-
bers will have even less incentive
or ability to vote.
But Republican lawmakers are
not concerned about the low voting
trend among young people and are
happy to stife the voices of the stu-
dents who do want to participate in
the political process because it bet-
ter serves their interests.
RESPONSES:
(Christians arguments are in ital-
ics. Kellys responses are below).
Proving your identity is an ac-
cepted, routine, and necessary part
of our everyday lives. And it isnt
just for things like driving, fying,
cashing checks, and buying drinks.
I have a constitutional right to buy
a legal frearm, but in order to exer-
cise that right, I have to present ID
and undergo a background check.
It is obviously true that in or-
der to purchase items like alcohol
or tobacco, or in order to fy on
an airplane, or drive a car, or use
a credit card, one must have state-
issued ID. Tis is exactly why the
requirement of photo identifca-
tion at the polls marginalizes a
specifc group in the electorate: the
people who are not able to do any
of the above activities, namely be-
cause they cannot aford such con-
veniences, are the ones who do not
have state-issued ID.
Te right to vote is fundamental.
It of course encompasses the right
to physically cast a vote on election
day. But it also includes our right
to not have our legitimate votes nul-
lifed by illegal acts such as voter
fraud.
Te key in the right-wing argu-
ment is that these isolated incidents
of voter fraud are pinned on liberals
who are given a bad name because
of groups like ACORN. Obviously
most Democrats do not support
voter fraud, as they value just as
much as other party members the
foundations of equal political rep-
resentation. Some Republicans just
use isolated cases like this to justify
the very discriminatory practice of
essentially eliminating a portion of
the Democratic electorate.
In 2008, the Supreme Court up-
held Indianas Voter ID law. Te
opinion was written by none other
than liberal Justice John Paul Ste-
vens.
While the idea that voter ID laws
dont really have an efect on turn-
out for Democratic voters based on
the Indiana law is interesting, I fnd
it to be irrelevant. Te point of giv-
ing every citizen the right to vote
without unnecessary obstacles is
not about advancing one party over
the other; it is about ones individu-
al rights in relation to the political
process. Tis is why I agree that a
vote is fundamental and should be
safeguarded in the sense that each
individuals ability to vote should
be protected.
Kelly is a senior in political science and
English from Overland Park
K
ansas new voter ID law
is a commonsense de-
fense of the integrity
of our electoral process. Prov-
ing your identity is an accepted,
routine, and necessary part of
society. Driving, fying, mak-
ing fnancial transactions, and
buying items such as alcohol, to-
bacco, and frearms all require a
photo ID.
We are fortunate that voter
fraud is not endemic in our state.
However, the legacy of vote
early and ofen is still alive in
some areas of the country thanks
to groups like ACORN (particu-
larly in battle ground states). To
prevent this problem from seep-
ing into Kansas, the state has ad-
opted the most practical method
of preventing voter imperson-
ation, double voting, and fcti-
tious registrations.
Te lef has decried these
laws as voter suppression, but
these objections are completely
unfounded. In early 2008, the
United States Supreme Court
ruled that Indianas voter ID law,
the strictest in the nation, was in
fact constitutional. Liberal Jus-
tice John Paul Stevens wrote that
Indianas law was amply justifed
by the valid interest in protecting
the integrity and reliability of
the electoral process. Despite
the same alarmist claims from
the lef that were hearing now in
Kansas, President Obama went
on to win Indiana in the Novem-
ber election and the state had
the nations highest percentage
increase in Democratic turnout
from the 2004 Presidential elec-
tion (8.3%). Source: Heritage
Foundation, July 2011
Te right to vote is fundamen-
tal and should be safeguarded. It
of course encompasses the right
to physically cast a vote, but it
also includes the right not to
have that legitimate vote nulli-
fed by voter fraud.

RESPONSES:
(Kellys arguments are in ital-
ics. Christians responses are
below).
Tis is a specifc efort targeted
at young people and students be-
cause of their inclination to vote
for the Democratic candidate.
Tey are targeted because they of-
ten have to vote away from home,
and by taking away measures that
facilitate this process, a group that
already votes in small numbers
will have even less incentive to
vote.
Te law allows college students
to use their University issued ID
cards to vote. Indigent voters
that cannot aford a photo ID
card can get one free through the
Department of Revenue. Regis-
tered voters who show up with-
out a photo ID can cast a provi-
sional ballot. Te only way this
law targets Democratic voters is
if they are committing fraud.
I understand legislators desire
to implement some sort of system
to prevent voter fraud; however,
the government cannot overreach
its power and begin impeding
the ability of certain age groups
and other specifc populations of
citizens to reach the polls. Such
a practice is disturbingly reminis-
cent of the poll tax.
Te comparison of voter ID
laws to the poll tax is pure dema-
goguery by the lef. Requiring a
photo ID to vote is vastly difer-
ent from the old Jim Crow laws,
especially since the government
now issues ID cards to the poor
free of charge. Moreover, voters
still have to bear the time and
transportation costs of physical-
ly getting to the polls on election
day, yet no one reasonably con-
siders that a poll tax.
Tere is surely a less drastic way
to efectively eliminate voter fraud
that does not trample the rights of
law-abiding citizens.
Voter ID laws across the coun-
try have withstood legal chal-
lenges because opponents have
failed to show even one instance
where individuals would sufer
an unreasonable hardship in or-
der to vote. Tese laws have now
been passed in 30 states and are
supported by an overwhelming
majority of Americans. Nearly
every American has a form of ac-
cepted ID and those who do not
can get one for free.

S
ince childhood, we are
taught to put others before
ourselves. Dont be so self-
centered. Tink of others.
And ofen when were in rela-
tionships, we take that and as-
sume thats the best way to make
love last.
But when it comes to dating,
this mind set could be harmful.
If we arent careful about when
to put our needs frst in relation-
ships, we could end up jeopardiz-
ing our personal identities alto-
gether.
Over two years ago, my then-
boyfriend and I were convinced
that we were meant to be. I dont
believe in destiny, but if it did ex-
ist, we were part of it. We were
madly in love, and I couldnt
think of anything that would ruin
that.
But because I was blinded by
my feelings for him, I missed the
warning signs that my so-called
loving relationship was really an
abusive one. Out of insecurity
and jealousy, he started exhibit-
ing signs of controlling behavior
that I ignored until they drove
me away. Troughout our rela-
tionship, he criticized my friends,
went through my phone twice,
and once became hostile when I
wanted to go to a party he wasnt
invited to.
Finally, he told me whom I
wasnt allowed to talk to and that
certain clothes of mine should
be worn only around him. As a
result I became extremely territo-
rial over my possessions and very
distant from him. Even though
I kept my struggle a secret from
everyone, my friendships were as
strong as ever, even the ones he
told me I couldnt have.
I stopped trusting my boy-
friend and became too paranoid
to even allow him to be alone in
my apartment. I couldnt even
keep a personal diary without
worrying about him reading it.
And with that, I felt trapped. It
was then that I fnally recognized
that I was in an identity crisis. I
was desperate for a way out of the
relationship.
I had to choose between my
identity and my boyfriend and
fgured that if I didnt have my in-
dividuality, I wouldnt have any-
thing. I wouldnt settle for that
then. And now I never do.
Tat doesnt mean I dont love
my current boyfriend. But Im up
front with him about who I am.
He knows I am myself frst and
his girlfriend second. I care about
my relationship and our harmony
as a couple, but I am who I am.
So rather than settling for what
we can get, we must be strong in
our expectations for our relation-
ships. We have to set high stan-
dards and never let our identities
become lost in what we think is
love because love will never make
us decide which wed rather have.
Abusive relationships can liter-
ally be fatal, so its crucial for us to
have solid identities that contrib-
ute to a relationship rather than
drown in it. We have to recognize
our individuality and maintain it
to prevent becoming silenced in
a relationship like mine. We have
to own who we are and embrace
I and me even when our rela-
tionships make us a we.
We all need to make that
pledge now, our signifcant others
included. Our lives could depend
on it.

This past summer, a KU stu-
dents journey to Africa gave him
a new perspective of the world.
Collin Edwards, a KU graduate
student studying Urban Planning,
spent six weeks in Senegal, located
in West Africa, learning about the
regions culture, promoting devel-
opment, and gaining a greater
global perspective.
My first thought was that I
would just help them build a well,
Edwards said. But I soon real-
ized that development also meant
building relationships, personal
and community empowerment,
and spiritual growth.
Edwards had been looking for
overseas mission trips and discov-
ered Discipling for Development
through his involvement with
Navigators, an on-campus
Christian organization.
For the first three weeks, I lived
with a Senegalese family, Edwards
said. We had no running water,
only bucket showers, and no elec-
tricity.
Currently, the country has only
a 59 percent literacy rate, and a
life expectancy of 60 years with
an infant mortality rate of 5.6 per-
cent.
Having only spent time overseas
in Europe, Edwardss experience
in Africa made him realize that
American society has a skewed
view of wants and needs.
What we perceive as needs are
just things that weve been lucky
enough to enjoy, said Edwards.
The work with community
development focused on changing
the mind set of the culture, which
is still recovering from many years
of French colonization that ended
in 1960.
According to the State
Department, 94 percent of the 12.6
million Senegalese practice Islam.
Nearly 80 percent of the workforce
makes their living through agricul-
ture, with 60percent of the country
living in rural regions.
A big focus was helping them
see that they can help themselves,
said Edwards. And make them
more capable to use resources to
better themselves. Still, the coun-
try receives a great deal of foreign
aid, $85 million of which comes
from the US government.
Edwards noticed several dif-
ferences between Sengalese and
American culture.
In the community, everything
is expected to be shared, said
Edwards. For dinner, we would sit
on the floor, and everyone ate off
the same plate with a spoon.
Also, Senegalese men are
allowed to take in multiple wives.
Edwards also noticed that having a
schedule and being on time is not
part of Sudanese culture.
You could come over anytime
and stay as long as you wanted,
said Edwards. People are more
important than the schedule.
Edwards spent the final three
weeks living in the city with other
missionaries.
We would observe, listen, see
what problems they were having,
and see what we could do to help,
said Edwards.
Edwards interned with two
other Americans, one of whom
was Nick Woods who attended the
University of Oregon. Woods said
he enjoyed having other Americans
nearby to experience life in Africa
with him. Woods and Edwards
stayed with Muslim families in the
same town for three weeks, so they
were able to ride bikes to each
others houses.
Later, Woods lived with
American missionary families,
who had learned to adjust to the
different way of life.
I saw how American families
can come to a third world country
and call it home, said Woods.
Sometimes you just want to
hang with other Americans and
talk about the differences between
our states, or even watch a movie at
a missionarys house, said Woods.
Still, Woods and Edwards both said
they appreciated the opportunity
to connect with others with a far
different background.
Edwards said that whenever he
reflects on his experience he feels
he gained a greater appreciation
for others.
I learned to value friendship
over work, said Edwards. Our
society tends to value work more
than being with people.
He also said that his time abroad
gave him greater global awareness
and appreciation for the lifestyle he
has been blessed with.
It was good to see how the rest
of the world works, said Edwards.
Its really easy to not look beyond
our own desires and that theres a
big world out there.
Edwards also gained greater
appreciation for the lifestyle hes
been blessed with.
Its a privilege to be a minor-
ity and to have nice things, said
Edwards. We shouldnt hoard our
blessings and instead help those
who dont have the things we do.
Helping others is a great respon-
sibility American society has,
according to Edwards.
We have a lot to give, said
Edwards. Theres a lot of people
who are living with a lot less and
are still joyful.
Despite the many differences
between American and Senegalese
cultures, Edwards sees a great deal
of universality between people.
Were all not that different,
Edwards said. We all have the
same emotions and are trying to
make life work.

in marijuana, additional medicines
derived from or inspired by the
cannabis plant itself could soon
be making their way to pharmacy

of synthetic equivalents a mouth
spray it hopes to market in the U.S.
as a treatment for cancer pain. And
it hopes to see FDA approval by the
end of 2013.
Sativex contains marijuanas
two best known components
delta 9-THC and cannabidiol
and already has been approved in
Canada, New Zealand and eight
European countries for a differ-
ent usage, relieving muscle spasms
associated with multiple sclerosis.
FDA approval would represent an
important milestone in the nations
often uneasy relationship with
marijuana, which 16 states and the
District of Columbia already allow
residents to use legally with doc-
tors recommendations. The U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration
categorizes pot as a dangerous drug
with no medical value, but the
availability of a chemically similar
prescription drug could increase
pressure on the federal government
to revisit its position and encourage
other drug companies to follow in
GW Pharmas footsteps.
There is a real disconnect
between what the public seems to be
demanding and what the states have
pushed for and what the market
is providing, said Aron Lichtman,
a Virginia Commonwealth
University pharmacology professor
and president of the International
Cannabinoid Research Society. It
seems to me a company with a great
deal of vision would say, If there
is this demand and need, we could
develop a drug that will help people
and we will make a lot of money.
Possessing marijuana still is ille-
gal in the United Kingdom, but
about a decade ago GW Pharmas
founder, Dr. Geoffrey Guy, received
permission to grow it to develop a
prescription drug. Guy proposed
the idea at a scientific conference
that heard anecdotal evidence
that pot provides relief to multiple
sclerosis patients, and the British
government welcomed it as a
potential way to draw a clear line
between recreational and medici-
nal use, company spokesman Mark
Rogerson said.
In addition to exploring new
applications for Sativex, the com-
pany is developing drugs with dif-
ferent cannabis formulations.
We were the first ones to charge
forward and a lot of people were
watching to see what happened to
us, Rogerson said. I think we are
clearly past that stage.
In 1985, the FDA approved two
drug capsules containing synthetic
THC, Marinol and Cesamet, to ease
side-effects of chemotherapy in can-
cer patients. The agency eventually
allowed Marinol to be prescribed
to stimulate the appetites of AIDS
patients. The drugs patent expired
last year, and other U.S. companies
have been developing formulations
that could be administered through
dissolving pills, creams and skin
patches and perhaps be used for
other ailments.
Doctors and multiple sclerosis
patients are cautiously optimis-
tic about Sativex. The National
Multiple Sclerosis Society has not
endorsed marijuana use by patients,
but the organization is sponsoring a
study by a University of California,
Davis neurologist to determine
how smoking marijuana compares
to Marinol in addressing painful
muscle spasms.
The cannabinoids and mari-
juana will, eventually, likely be part
of the clinicians armamentarium,
if they are shown to be clinically
beneficial, said Timothy Coetzee,
the societys chief research officer.
The big unknown in my mind is
whether they are clearly beneficial.
Opponents and supporters of
crude marijuanas effectiveness gen-
erally agree that more research is
needed. And marijuana advocates
fear that the government will use
any new prescription products to
justify a continued prohibition on
marijuana use.

BOwLING UNDER thE cOSMOS
PHOENIX In part, the short
video has the feel of a campaign
ad: the strains of soft music,
the iconic snapshots of rugged
Arizona desert, the candidate
earnestly engaged with her con-
stituents.
Interspersed with the slick
montage of photos and sound,
though, is a video close-up of
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gazing
directly at the camera, offering
not a campaign promise but a
goodbye, a thank-you message to
her supporters in a voice that is
both firm and halting.
I have more work to do on
my recovery, the congresswom-
an says at the end of the two-
minute-long A Message from
Gabby, appearing to strain with
all of her will to communicate.
So to do whats best for Arizona,
I will step down this week.
Arizonans had to know in their
hearts that this day was coming.
A bullet to the brain, from
point-blank range, is a nearly
impossible obstacle to overcome,
even for a congresswoman known
for pluckiness and fight. Giffords
seemed to accept that reality in
the video announcing her res-
ignation from Congress, which
also included a promise to return
one day to her mission to help
Arizonans.
The clip, posted to YouTube
and on her Facebook page, pastes
together 13 sentences into a fluid
announcement. Giffords wears a
bright red jacket eerily similar to
the one she was wearing a year
ago when she was nearly assas-
sinated. She looks straight into
the camera, almost begging the
viewer to listen.
But the video also includes
images of the 41-year-old strug-
gling at rehab and walking along
a leafy street with husband Mark
Kelly with an obvious limp. And
Giffords acknowledges that, at
least for now, she isnt up to tak-
ing on a re-election challenge.
The announcement comes
just over a year after a gunman
opened fire at Jan. 8, 2011, meet-
ing with constituents in front of a
Tucson grocery store. Six people
were killed, and Giffords and 12
others wounded.
TAMPA, Fla. Now its Floridas
turn.
And Republican presidential
rivals Mitt Romney and Newt
Gingrich have just 10 days to navi-
gate a state unlike any theyve com-
peted in so far. Florida is six times
larger than New Hampshire, has
almost five times more Hispanics
than Iowa, and, with numerous
media markets, is much more
expensive for candidates than South
Carolina. Thats where Gingrich
trounced Romney on Saturday
night, suddenly scrambling the
GOP presidential race ahead of
Floridas Jan. 31 primary.
Its been fascinating spectator
sport so far, Beth Schiller, 48, said
inside Buddy Brew Coffee shop the
next morning. But its coming here
now. Theyre all coming.
Indeed, the remaining candidates
in a shrunken field Romney,
Gingrich, former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron
Paul planned to be in the state
Monday for the first of two presi-
dential debates this week.
All eyes were certain to be on
whats essentially a two-man race.
After a crushing South Carolina
defeat, Romney no longer faces the
prospect of wrapping up the nomi-
nation quickly and now is forced
to regroup. He has spent months
planning for the Florida campaign,
essentially building a firewall in
the state. He has the largest orga-
nization of any candidate. And
he and his allies combined have
had the TV airwaves all to them-
selves for weeks, already spending
roughly $6 million combined. The
former Massachusetts governors
areas of strength in the diverse
state may be with the transplanted
Northeasterners and snowbirds
along the Gold Coast.
But now there are doubts about
whether he can knit together the
broad cross-section of Republican
voters hed need to win in this state,
much less the nomination.
Im looking forward to a long
campaign, Romney said on Fox
News Sunday, an acknowledgment
that he wouldnt sew up the nomi-
nation with a Florida victory as
aides once had hoped.
Gingrich, for his part, will work to
keep his momentum going despite
continued division among tea party
and religious activists who, to a
certain degree, continue to divide
their support between him and
Santorum. The states conservative
panhandle may be fertile ground
for the former Georgia lawmaker
who talks of his Southern roots
often. His team also is working hard
to court evangelicals, who vote in
droves in the states GOP primaries
and who tend to look skeptically on
Romney.
He dramatically trails Romney in
fundraising and organization in the
state, underscored by his launch-
ing of an online money bomb
Saturday night to try to raise $1
million to help fund his efforts in
Florida.
My job in Florida is to convince
people that I am the one candidate
who can clearly defeat Obama in a
series of debates and the one candi-
date who has big enough solutions
that they would really get America
back on track, Gingrich told CNNs
State of the Union.
His South Carolina victory is cer-
tain to change the dynamics in a
state where Romney has led in polls
for weeks.
People want to get behind a win-
ner, said Tom Gaitens, co-founder
of the Tampa Tea Party and state
director for the conservative organi-
zation FreedomWorks. People will
be drawn to Newt like a magnet.
Floridas size and diversity creates
challenges for all the candidates.
And the issues may be far different
than those in the previous states.
There are 10 distinct media mar-
kets in Florida, which helps explain
the tremendous cost of running a
statewide campaign here.
And the voters are anything but
homogenous.
Northern Florida along the pan-
handle is as close to the South as
the state offers. Its the least popu-
lated and considered the most cul-
turally conservative. Southeastern
Florida, including the Miami area,
is traditionally not as conservative
as the rest of the state, offering a
large Latino population and many
Northeastern transplants and
Jewish voters. The bulk of the states
Republicans, including a signifi-
cant collection of evangelicals, live
along central Floridas Interstate
4 corridor, including Tampa and
Orlando.
Exit polling from the 2008 GOP
primary shows that approximate-
ly 39 percent of voters identified
themselves as born-again or evan-
gelical Christians. Thats a signifi-
cant voting bloc Gingrich has been
targeting. He won evangelicals
soundly in South Carolina, where
they constituted roughly 65 percent
of the electorate.
Hispanics are also key.
Romney is already on televi-
sion running an advertisement in
Spanish. Gingrich plans to do the
same. The Gingrich team is based in
the Miami area, the epicenter of the
states considerable Cuban popula-
tion. Cubans make up roughly a
third of the states Hispanic popula-
tion and figure to play prominently.
Romneys team is based in Tampa,
and it has spent weeks working
to woo the 200,000 people who
already have cast ballots through
absentee and early voting.
Like everywhere else, the econo-
my is certain to dominate the race
in Florida. The unemployment rate
here is 10 percent, much higher
than the national 8.5 percent jobless
figure. And more than 2 percent
of all Florida housing units were
involved in foreclosure last year,
according to the RealtyTrac fore-
closure listing service. Florida also
is third in the number of homes
with upside down mortgages, at
44 percent of all mortgaged proper-
ties, according to the CoreLogic real
estate data firm.
But other topics also will domi-
nate.
Florida is a retirement mecca,
so expect discussion about Social
Security. Its also home to a num-
ber of environmentalists working
to protect the coastline and fight
drilling, so those topics are all but
certain to be touched on. And with
a heavy influx of Hispanics, immi-
gration is certain to be raised.

Monday, January 23, 2012 Volume 124 Issue 80
Down three points with one
second left, the Jayhawk kill-
er, Texas junior guard JCovan
Brown, hurled a fadeaway three.
The shot clanked off the rim,
wide left, and No. 7 Kansas (16-
3, 6-0) escaped with a 69-66 vic-
tory on Saturday afternoon.
He still got a look that scared
me, senior guard Tyshawn
Taylor said of Brown, who was
defended by junior guard Elijah
Johnson and sophomore for-
ward Justin Wesley on the final
shot. I thought it was going in
when he shot it.
It was Kansas closest victo-
ry of the season, with only the
67-63 victory over Georgetown
in the Maui Invitational bear-
ing any resemblance. For a team
with aspirations of success in
March, Self echoed the impor-
tance of games like these.
Coach was saying how good
this was for us in the time-
out when we were down four
points, Taylor said. Games like
this are always learning experi-
ences. This is how teams get
better, having close games and
fighting on the road.
One year after his mothers
death, and one year after Brown
scored 23 points and ended
Kansas 69-game winning streak
at Allen Fieldhouse, junior for-
ward Thomas Robinson started
slowly, logging just six points
and one rebound in the entire
first half.
He said his mother wasnt
on his mind when he was out
there.
No disrespect, Robinson
said. But thats something that
I have to live with every day. For
the media its the anniversary.
Its a regular day, Taylor
said. Just coming out here and
doing work.
Without Robinsons typical
production in the early stag-
es of the game, Taylor took
charge, slashing to the hoop and
knocking down 3-point shots.
He finished with 22 points, 5
rebounds, 4 assists and perhaps
more important than any other
statistic, 0 turnovers.
Maybe it was that guy that
said something bad about him
on Twitter, Self said of Taylors
three-game streak of more than
20 points scored.
Robinson returned to his
more typical, aggressive form
in the second half, posting 11
points and 8 rebounds. He
grabbed four rebounds in the
final 4:19 and squeezed a pass
through Texas interior defense
to find junior center Jeff Withey
for a three-point play with 37
seconds left.
After missing his first three
attempts, Robinson sunk his
fourth shot from the free throw
line, setting up Browns final
miss.
I thought they were more
active than us, Self said. But we
got the key ones late.

T
homasRobinson and Tyshawn
Taylor drive the Kansas bas-
ketball machine. Without the
duo, the Jayhawks would struggle to
generate points and probably give up
way more offensive rebounds.
But as Kansas continues to evolve
into a Final Four-caliber team, we
cant forget about the development of
junior center Jeff Withey.
Heres a guy who played six min-
utes per game last year and a total of
four minutes in the Jayhawks nine
games last March. He was, at best,
a big body that could pick up a few
fouls, alter a few shots and slam a
few dunks.
Hes so much more to the Jayhawks
now, thanks to an offseason of weight
training and teaching from big man
coach Danny Manning.
Withey averages a block every
7.37 minutes on the floor. His 14.75
block percentage a measure of
the percentage of shots blocked by
the player while hes in the game
ranks fifth in the nation, just above
Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis
14.28 percent.
Withey didnt have his best game
in Kansas 69-66 win in Austin on
Saturday, finishing just 2-of-7 from
the field and blocking two shots in
thirty minutes of action.
His presence in the paint still
altered Texas offensive attack the
Longhorns hit just 30.9 percent of
their two-point attempts. The threat
of a Withey blocked shot can almost
be as effective as an actual blocked
shot.
Withey also came up clutch in the
final minute, corralling a Robinson
assist and finishing a layup while
getting fouled by the Longhorns
Myck Kabongo. Withey hit the free
throw, giving the Jayhawks a two-
point lead with 37 seconds remain-
ing.
Ken Pomeroy, a basketball analyst
who runs the site KenPom.com, cre-
ated a similarity matrix that allows
the website to compare any current
player to one from the recent past,
using each players statistics and role
on the team to make the correlation.
Withey is certainly a unique player
a seven-footer who blocks a high
number of shots, grabs lots of offen-
sive rebounds and shoots more than
80 percent from the foul line. You
cant walk into any gym in America
and find a Jeff Withey.
His most similar connection is
relatively weak, ranked 837 on a 1000
scale. Pomeroy urges his sites visitors
to use the similarity scores carefully,
especially ones less than 850.
That being said, the most similar
player to Withey this year is Cole
Aldrich from his final season at
Kansas, 2009-2010.
Aldrich fouled a little less and
rebounded more, but also shot a
worse percentage from the free-
throw line. Aldrich was a bigger part
of the offense and played more min-
utes, too, so its clear that Withey
doesnt impact the game the way
Aldrich did.
The comparison is still fascinat-
ing.
Robinson and Taylor must play
well for Kansas to make waves in
March. But the play of Withey will
certainly impact the Jayhawks
chance at a Big 12 title and a run in
the Big Dance.

Kansas won against the University of Texas 69-66.
WomenSS baSKeTbaLL
Goodrichs career high not enough
Angel Goodrich scored,
rebounded and drew charges.
The junior guard even led her
team in scoring with a career-
high 28 points, but the one thing
she couldnt do was defeat the
defending national champion
Aggies at least not by herself.
She had a spark and we didnt
have much behind her, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Only two other Kansas players
broke double figures as No. 14
Texas A&M pressured and con-
trolled the game from the begin-
ning on their way to a 76-65 final
win in Lawrence before they
leave for the SEC. The Jayhawks
dropped to 15-3 overall and 4-2
in Big 12 play.
Goodrich had a team-high 13
points by halftime, and added
another 15 in the second half.
She shot 11-of-16 from the field,
2-of-4 from
beyond the arc
and 4-of-5 from
the line in a per-
formance noth-
ing less than
inspired.
She could
score when
other people
werent able to
score, senior forward Aishah
Sutherland said. They were pres-
suring so much that we couldnt
reverse the ball and couldnt
score so that was what the option
was, was for her to score.
But when Goodrich tried to
share the ball the Jayhawks were
out of rhythm and her passes
flew past teammates and out of
bounds. While Goodrich had the
best scoring night of her career,
she was held back by 11 turn-
overs.
Its uncharacteristic for her,
its a credit to their pressure and
they got into her pretty good,
Henrickson said. But I love the
fact that she is that aggressive
offensively, love it.
Goodrich was disappointed
with the number of turnovers
and admitted she didnt respond
well to the pressure.
I wanted to push the ball
more but I felt like I was just
getting frustrated with myself
with all the turnovers and I cant
let that happen to me as a point
guard, Goodrich said. I have to
keep myself composed and keep
the team on the same page.
Carolyn Davis and Monica
Engelman joined Goodrich
in double figures, but neither
played with
the same sense
of urgency.
Davis was also
restricted with
foul trouble late
in the first half,
which allowed
Texas A&Ms
f o r w a r d s ,
Adaora Elonu
and Kelsey Bone, to make their
mark in the paint with 17 and 18
points respectively.
The Aggies brought pressure
that the Jayhawks havent seen
all season. They fought each pos-
session and forced 23 turnovers.
Then they scored 19 points off
those turnovers.
Inside they are big, theyre
physical and they got into us
pretty good defensively and
offensively, Henrickson said.
They played pretty good post
defense, I thought, and pressured
the ball. If you can do those two
things then you are going to
dictate what somebody can do
offensively and they did with
us.
The Jayhawks had the better
shooting percentage and only
lost the rebounding battle by
one, but the difference was in
the number of shots: Kansas only
took 48 compared to the Texas
A&M 62.
Chaos is what it was offen-
sively, Henrickson said. We
didnt get shots in rhythm, we
didnt have rebounders, we had
no rhythm, no flow.
Sutherland offered some
excitement in the second half
when she hit her 1,000th career
point at the free throw line. She
became the 15th player in pro-
gram history to record more than
1,000 points and 500 rebounds.
The Jayhawks will look to
bounce back on Wednesday
night against No. 17 Texas Tech
at 7 p.m.

Once again, Tyshawn Taylor helped save the Jayhawks. Taylors
team-leading 22 points and 4 assists helped energize the Jay-
hawks, who were playing in a tough road enviornment in austin.
while the team had a tough day shooting from three-point

also, Taylor fnished the day with zero turnovers, a huge ac-

# Kansas player
with Jayhawks trailing by one with under one min-
ute left, they decided to run their offense through
Thomas Robinson. The team spread the foor, as Rob-
inson sealed off his man to receive Tyshawn Taylors
pass. Jeff witheys defender begins to slide toward
Robinson, as he sees Kansas will be giving him the
ball.
Robinson puts the ball on the foor and drive into
the line. as he does this, the entire Texas defense fo-
cuses its attention on Robinson. witheys defender be-
gins to move up in the lane, and Tyshawns defender
tries to pry the ball out from behind Robinson.
witheys defender leaps forward to defend Robin-
son, who recognizes the double team. he passes the
ball toward withey, and it is defected by the Texas
defense. it doesnt matter though, the pass gets
through and withey scores while getting fouled. The
Jayhawks take a two-point lead, and win the game
off of that play.

Kevin young, Junior Forward
Young, who had been playing more often in the Jayhawks
previous three games, found his way into Bill selfs doghouse sat-
urday. The forward played only two minutes for the Jayhawks, and
they werent exactly a successful two minutes.
Young found his way onto the stat sheet in three categories
saturday. minutes, turnovers and fouls. not exactly howany player
wants to see in the box score following any game. Young had one
turnover and foul in his two minutes on the court.

Junior guard elijah Johnson tosses the ball down court after fghting for ball possession against University of Texas defense during the frst half of the game. Kansas won against
the University of Texas 69-66.
At first glance, it would appear
that Kansas won Saturdays game
against Texas in the final three min-
utes. After all, Kansas out-scored the
Longhorns 9-2 in the final minutes
to remain undefeated in Big 12 play.
But on Thursday last week, Bill
Self impersonated the famous proph-
et Nostradamus and inadvertently
predicted how the Jayhawks would
end up beating the Longhorns 69-66,
three days later.
I think its hard to keep it turned
up for 40 minutes if you dont sub
much, Self said Thursday. So its
kind of become a spurt team.
Coach was dead on.
With the game tied 7-7, Thomas
Robinson got a steal and then an
assist on the resulting Tyshawn
Taylor layup. The play was the spark
the Jayhawks needed to set off the
their barrel of gunpowder.
Kansas would go on to shoot sev-
en-for-nine from the floor during
the ensuing run. Texas missed their
next 19 shots, going scoreless for six-
minutes, 53 seconds.
The spurt gave Kansas a 22-7 lead.
It was one that Texas would not
overcome until just over five minutes
were left.
And yes, the Longhorns fought
their way back fromthe double-digit
deficit they faced for the majority of
the game.
But the Longhorns had a spurt of
their own that left them with a four-
point lead with three minutes left in
the game.
Due to the large deficit and
the close finish, Texas had to play
its starters more than it normally
would have, leaving them exhausted
in the final minutes. Senior center
Clint Chapman played 34 minutes
Saturday and was a force for the
Longhorns, recording 15 points,
nine rebounds and four blocks.
Chapman, like every Longhorn
except junior guard JCovan Brown
who finished with 24 points
did not score in the games closing
five minutes.
I think the biggest part of get-
ting winded was playing 19 minutes
in the second half, which is some-
thing that Ive never done before,
Chapman said.
While they were able to make take
a brief lead, Texas simply did not
have enough juice left in the final
five minute stretch to beat Kansas.
As for Kansas, coach Self was
pleased with the result. After all,
it was just like he said earlier in
the week: his starters played over
30 minutes in the game, and the
team relied on an early run spurred
by strong defense that Texas simply
could not handle.
The closeness of the end of the
game on the road was just an added
experience for the team.
It was definitely good to have a
close game, Taylor said.
Self went even further.
This is the best win we have had
all year, he said.

SAN FRANCISCOKyle Wil-
liams put his hands on his helmet
and dropped his head in disgust.
A second big mistake by its back-
up punt returner did in San Fran-
cisco at the worst possible time.
Williams fumbled in overtime
to set up Lawrence Tynes 31-yard
field goal, and the 49ers lost the
NFC championship game to the
New York Giants 20-17 on Sun-
day.
Williams, returning kicks in
place of the injured Ted Ginn
Jr., muffed one punt early in the
fourth quarter to set up a go-
ahead touchdown for New York,
then was stripped by Jacquian
Williams in overtime to give the
Giants the ball at the 24.
You hate to be the last guy that
had the ball, to give it away in that
fashion and to lose a game of this
magnitude, Williams said. It is
what it is. Were going to move
forward as a team. Everyone has
come to pat me on the back and
the shoulder to say its not me.
After three runs and a
kneeldown, Tynes kicked the
game-winner, and Williams
slowly made a dejected walk back
to the locker room as the 49ers
missed out on a prime chance to
go to the Super Bowl.
It will be a tough one, coach
Jim Harbaugh said. It will take a
while to get over.
The fact that turnovers did in
San Francisco was truly surpris-
ing. The 49ers tied an NFL record
with just 10 giveaways all sea-
son including none on special
teams and had a plus-28 turn-
over margin in the regular season.
They took advantage of five New
Orleans turnovers to win 36-32
last week but were on the wrong
end in this game because of Wil-
liams.
Williams, the son of Chicago
White Sox general manager Ken
Williams, did not look smooth
fielding punts after doing it just
twice in the regular season.
He made a dangerous, sliding
catch on one return and called a
fair catch on another with room
to run. He then made his first big
miscue after San Francisco forced
a punt early in the fourth quarter
while protecting a 14-10 lead.
Steve Weatherford hit a short,
bouncing punt that Williams
came up to try to field. He backed
away at the last minute, but the
ball glanced off his right knee and
was recovered by Devin Thomas
at the San Francisco 29. The play
was originally not ruled a fumble
but was overturned by instant re-
play.
I told him were all in this
together, San Francisco All Pro
linebacker Patrick Willis said. I
believe in him. If I had a do-over,
hed still be my guy back there.
Hes a tremendous athlete.
Six plays later, Eli Manning
threw a 17-yard touchdown pass
to Mario Manningham, who beat
backup cornerback Tramaine
Brock on third-and-15. Brock was
playing in place of starter Tarell
Brown, who left late in the third
quarter after a violent collision
with teammate Dashon Goldson.
Williams helped atone for his
miscue when he returned the en-
suing kickoff 40 yards to help set
up David Akers tying field goal
late in regulation.
But on his second return in
overtime, Williams gave the ball
away again. He fielded the punt
at the 19 and was stripped by
Jacquian Williams. Thomas once
again pounced on the ball at the
24, setting up the Giants winning
kick and ending San Franciscos
most successful season in years.
It was one of those situations
where I caught the ball, tried to
head upfield, tried to make a play
and it ended up for the worse,
Williams said.
Harbaugh got the Niners to the
brink of the Super Bowl in his
first season, taking over a 6-10
team and going 13-3 to win the
NFC West. The ability to protect
the ball and cause turnovers was
the biggest reason for the turn-
around.
But the Niners forced no turn-
overs by the Giants and were
ultimately done in by Williams
costly giveaways.
The Niners really did miss
Ginn, who injured his right knee
in last weeks thrilling 36-32 win
over New Orleans. San Francisco
was already thin at receiver after
releasing Braylon Edwards late in
the regular season and was unable
to get anything out of its wideouts
this game.
San Franciscos wide receivers
had just one catch all game a
3-yarder by Michael Crabtree on
a third-and-5 play before Akers
tying field goal with 5:39 left in
regulation.
The bulk of San Franciscos
offense came on two big passes
from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis.
They connected on a 73-yarder to
open the scoring in the first quar-
ter and a 28-yarder to take a 14-
10 lead in the third.
The 49ers converted just one of
13 third downs all game, with the
only conversion coming on the
final play of regulation, leaving
plenty of blame to go to players
besides Williams.
We all know him, Smith said.
We know how committed he is
to winning. Its not on him. I look
at the 1-for-13 on third downs. I
know hes going to feel bad, but
hes still part of our team. We
didnt lose the game there. We lost
it across the board offensively. We
just couldnt get it done.
So now instead of the 49ers
coach taking on his brother, John,
in the Superbaugh in Indianap-
olis in two weeks, the Harbaughs
will be watching the big game in
part because of special teams.
Johns Ravens fell earlier in the
day to New England 23-20 when
Billy Cundiff pushed a 32-yard
field goal attempt wide left in the
closing seconds of the AFC title
game.

PAGE 6B thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN moNDAY, jANUARY 23, 2012
Behind it all, however, was
an ugly secret that ran counter
to everything the revered coach
stood for.
Paterno, a sainted figure at Penn
State for almost half a century
but scarred forever by the child
sex abuse scandal that brought
his career to a stunning end, died
Sunday at age 85.
His death came just over
two months after his son Scott
announced on Nov. 18 that his
father had been diagnosed with a
treatable form of lung cancer. The
cancer was found during a follow-
up visit for a bronchial illness. A
few weeks later, Paterno broke his
pelvis after a fall but did not need
surgery.
Paterno had been in the hospital
since Jan. 13 for observation after
what his family called minor com-
plications from his cancer treat-
ments. Not long before that, he
conducted his only interview since
losing his job, with The Washington
Post. Paterno was described as frail
then, speaking mostly in a whisper
and wearing a wig. The second
half of the two-day interview was
conducted at his bedside.
His family released a statement
Sunday morning to announce his
death: His loss leaves a void in our
lives that will never be filled.
He died as he lived, the state-
ment said. He fought hard until
the end, stayed positive, thought
only of others and constantly
reminded everyone of how blessed
his life had been. His ambitions
were far reaching, but he never
believed he had to leave this Happy
Valley to achieve
them. He was a
man devoted to
his family, his
university, his
players and his
community.
Paterno built
a program based
on the credo
of Success with Honor, and he
found both. The man known as
JoePa won 409 games and took
the Nittany Lions to 37 bowl games
and two national championships.
More than 250 of the players he
coached went on to the NFL.
He will go down as the greatest
football coach in the history of the
game, Ohio State coach Urban
Meyer said after his former team,
the Florida Gators, beat Penn State
37-24 in the 2011 Outback Bowl.
Paterno roamed the sidelines
for 46 seasons, his thick-rimmed
glasses, windbreaker and jet-black
sneakers as familiar as the Nittany
Lions blue and white uniforms. He
won 409 games and two national
championships.
The reputation he built looked
even more impressive because he
insisted on keeping graduation
rates high while maintaining on-
field success.
But in the middle of his 46th
season, the legend was shattered.
Paterno was engulfed in a child
sex abuse scandal when a former
trusted assistant, Jerry Sandusky,
was accused of molesting 10 boys
over a 15-year span, sometimes in
the football building.
Paterno at first said he was
fooled. But outrage built quick-
ly when the states top cop said
the coach hadnt fulfilled a moral
obligation to go to the authorities
when a graduate assistant, Mike
McQueary, told Paterno he saw
Sandusky with a young boy in the
showers of the football complex
in 2002.
At a preliminary hearing for the
school officials, McQueary testi-
fied that he had seen Sandusky
attacking the child with his hands
around the boys waist but said
he wasnt 100 percent sure it was
intercourse. McQueary described
Paterno as shocked and saddened
and said the coach told him hed
done the right thing by reporting
the encounter.
Paterno waited a day before
alerting school officials but never
went to the police.
I didnt know which way to go
... and rather than get in there and
make a mistake, Paterno said in
the Post interview.
You know, (McQueary) didnt
want to get specific, Paterno said.
And to be frank with you I dont
know that it would have done any
good, because I never heard of,
of, rape and a man. So I just did
what I thought was best. I talked
to people that I thought would be,
if there was a problem, that would
be following up on it.
When the scandal erupted in
November, Paterno said he would
retire following the 2011 season.
He also said he was absolutely
devastated by the abuse case.
This is a tragedy, he said. It
is one of the great sorrows of my
life. With the benefit of hindsight,
I wish I had done more.
But the uni-
versity trustees
faced a crisis, and
in an emergency
meeting that
night, they fired
Paterno, effec-
tive immediately.
Graham Spanier,
one of the lon-
gest-serving university presidents
in the nation, also was fired.
Paterno was notified by phone,
not in person, a decision that
board vice chairman John Surma
later regretted, according to Lanny
Davis, an attorney retained by the
trustees as an adviser.
The university handed the
football team to one of Paternos
assistants, Tom Bradley, who said
Paterno will go down in history
as one of the greatest men, who
maybe most of you know as a great
football coach.
As the last 61 years have shown,
Joe made an incredible impact,
said the statement from the fam-
ily. That impact has been felt and
appreciated by our family in the
form of thousands of letters and
well wishes along with countless
acts of kindness from people whose
lives he touched. It is evident also
in the thousands of successful stu-
dent athletes who have gone on to
multiply that impact as they spread
out across the country.
Paterno believed success was
not measured entirely on the field.
From his idealistic early days, he
had implemented what he called a
grand experiment to graduate
more players while maintaining
success on the field.
He was a frequent speaker on
ethics in sports, a conscience for a
world often infiltrated by scandal
and shady characters.
The team consistently ranked
among the best in the Big Ten for
graduating players. As of 2011, it
had 49 academic All-Americans,
the third-highest among schools in
the Football Bowl Subdivision. All
but two played under Paterno.
He teaches us about really just
growing up and being a man,
former linebacker Paul Posluszny,
now with the NFLs Jacksonville
Jaguars, once said. Besides the
football, hes preparing us to be
good men in life.
Paterno certainly had detractors.
One former Penn State professor
called his high-minded words on
academics a farce, and a former
administrator said players often
got special treatment. His coaching
style often was considered too con-
servative. Some thought he held on
to his job too long, and a move to
push him out in 2004 failed.
But the critics were in the minor-
ity, and his program was never
cited for major NCAA violations.
The child sex abuse scandal, how-
ever, did prompt separate investi-
gations by the U.S. Department of
Education and the NCAA into the
schools handling.
Paterno played quarterback and
cornerback for Brown University
and set a defensive record with 14
career interceptions, a distinction
he still boasted about to his teams
in his 80s. He graduated in 1950
with plans to go to law school. He
said his father hoped he would
someday be president.
But when Paterno was 23, a for-
mer coach at Brown was moving
to Penn State to become the head
coach and persuaded Paterno to
come with him as an assistant.
I had no intention to coach
when I got out of Brown, Paterno
said in 2007 in an interview at
Penn States Beaver Stadium before
being inducted into college foot-
balls Hall of Fame. Come to this
hick town? From Brooklyn?
In 1963, he was offered a job
by the late Al Davis $18,000,
triple his salary at Penn State, plus
a car to become general manager
and coach of the AFLs Oakland
Raiders. He said no. Rip Engle
retired as Penn State head coach
three years later, and Paterno took
over.
At the time, the Lions were
considered Eastern football
inferior and Paterno courted
newspaper coverage to raise the
teams profile. In 1967, PSU began
a 30-0-1 streak.
But Penn State couldnt get to
the top of the polls. The Lions
finished second in 1968 and 1969
despite perfect
seasons. They
were undefeated
and untied again
in 1973 at 12-0
again but fin-
ished fifth. Texas
edged them
in 1969 after
P r e s i d e n t
R i c h a r d
N i x o n ,
impressed with the Longhorns
bowl performance, declared them
No. 1.
Id like to know, Paterno said
later, how could the president
know so little about Watergate in
1973, and so much about college
football in 1969?
A national title finally came
in 1982, after a 27-23 win over
Georgia at the Sugar Bowl. Another
followed in 1986 after the Lions
picked off Vinny Testaverde five
times and beat Miami 14-10 in the
Fiesta Bowl.
They made several title runs
after that, including a 2005 run to
the Orange Bowl and an 11-1 sea-
son in 2008 that ended in a 37-23
loss to Southern California in the
Rose Bowl.
In his later years, physical ail-
ments wore the old coach down.
Paterno was run over on
the sideline during a game at
Wisconsin in November 2006 and
underwent knee surgery. He hurt
his hip in 2008 demonstrating an
onside kick. An intestinal illness
and a bad reaction to antibiotics
prescribed for dental work slowed
him for most of the 2010 season.
He began scaling back his speak-
ing engagements that year, ending
his summer caravan of speeches to
alumni across the state.
Then a receiv-
er bowled over
Paterno at prac-
tice in August,
sending him to
the hospital with
shoulder and pel-
vis injuries and
consigning him
to coach much
of what would
be his last season
from the press box.
The fact that weve won a lot of
games is that the good Lord kept
me healthy, not because Im better
than anybody else, Paterno said
two days before he won his 409th
game and passed Eddie Robinson
of Grambling State for the most in
Division I. Its because Ive been
around a lot longer than anybody
else.
Paterno could be conserva-
tive on the field, especially in big
games, relying on the tried-and-
true formula of defense, the run-
ning game and field position.
Theyve been playing great
defense for 45 years, Iowa coach
Kirk Ferentz said in November.
Paterno and his wife, Sue, raised
five children in State College.
Anybody could telephone him at
his modest ranch home the
same one he appeared in front of
on the night he was fired by
looking up Paterno, Joseph V. in
the phone book.
He walked to home games and
was greeted and wished good luck
by fans on the street. Former play-
ers paraded through his living
room for the chance to say hello.
But for the most part, he stayed out
of the spotlight.
Paterno did have a knack for
jokes. He referred to Twitter, the
social media site, as Twittle-do,
Twittle-dee.
He also could be abrasive and
stubborn, and he had his share of
run-ins with his bosses or admin-
istrators. And as his legend grew,
so did the attention to his on-field
decisions, and the questions about
when he would hang it up.
Calls for his retirement reached
a crescendo in 2004. The next year,
Penn State went 11-1 and won the
Big Ten. In the Orange Bowl, PSU
beat Florida State, whose coach,
Bobby Bowden, was eased out
after the 2009 season after 34 years
and 389 wins.
Like many others, he was out-
lasted by JoePa.

In its third competition in as
many weeks, the Kansas swimming
and diving team lost its dual meet
Saturday in Arkansas, posting just
two first-place finishes on the road
against a difficult SEC opponent.
The Razorbacks took first place in
the first seven events, grabbing a lead
they would control throughout the
day, and eventually defeating Kansas
199-96 at Arkansas Natatorium in
Fayetteville, Ark.
We werent that competitive,
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said.
It was a pretty rough meet for us.
Campbell attributed the cumula-
tive effect of classes beginning and
the teams entering a new, more
intense training phase as the rea-
sonthe Jayhawks struggled.
Kansas senior Stephanie Payne
placed first in the 400-yard individ-
ual medley, followed by teammates
Alison Moffit, sophomore, in second
and Rebecca Swank, junior, in third.
Swank, who Campbell called
quite the iron woman for her per-
formance, swam the three longest
events. She finished second in the
1650-yard freestyle, fourth in the
500-yard freestyle and third in the
400-yard individual medley.
They have a wonderful distance
program at Arkansas so my goal
going in was to be competitive,
Swank said. I just took it one event
at a time and I was pretty pleased
with how it turned out.
The teams other first-place finish
came in the 800-yard freestyle relay,
with senior Shannon Garlie, junior
Brooke Brull, sophomore Morgan
Sharp and freshman Deanna Marks
teaming up for the victory.
Junior diver Christy Cash placed
third in the one-meter and three-
meter diving events. Cash and soph-
omore diver Alyssa Golden threw
higher degree-of-difficulty dives
than earlier in the season in prepara-
tion for the Big 12 Championships
next month.
It was a good opportunity for
them to get up there and try new
things, Campbell said. When you
try new things, the margin for error
is very small.
The team begins a deserved bye
week before traveling to Ames, Iowa
for a dual meet against Iowa State
on Feb. 3.
The team will train throughout
the week as they work towards stron-
ger, faster times.
We need a break from competi-
tion, Campbell said. Weve spent
time creating this huge engine on
each of our athletes and we need that
engine to speed up and it just takes
some time to get there.

ASSOcIAtED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Tom Brady waited out the final
tense minutes on the sideline and
somehow his fourth-quarter leap
into the end zone held up, send-
ing the New England Patriots
back to the Super Bowl.
With New England leading by
3 points with 11 seconds left,
Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard
field goal attempt and the Patriots
escaped with a 23-20 win Sunday
in the AFC championship game.
On his 1-yard scoring dive
with 11:29 left, Brady took a huge
hit from Ravens star linebacker
Ray Lewis, then emphatically
spiked the ball as he walked away.
Earlier, Brady showed his fire by
barking at Lewis following a hard
tackle on a 4-yard run.
Next up as the Patriots chase
their fourth Super Bowl trophy in
Brady and coach Bill Belichicks
tenure in New England is the
winner of Sundays NFC champi-
onship game between the Giants
and 49ers. The Super Bowl is Feb.
5 in Indianapolis.
In their last trip to the big
game, the Patriots had an 18-0
record when they were stunned
by the Giants four years ago. They
won the NFL championship for
the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons.
This time, they had to the Sup
Bowl with a 10-game winning
streak.
Bradys fifth trip to the Super
Bowl will equal John Elways
achievement with Denver.
Were going to try to go out
and kick some butt in a couple of
weeks, Brady said.
Before Cundiff missed, the
Ravens had a chance to go ahead
two plays earlier, but wide receiv-
er Lee Evans was stripped of the
ball in the end zone by back-
up cornerback Sterling Moore,
who earlier was victimized for a
touchdown that gave Baltimore
the lead 17-16.
Then Cundiff misfired, and the
Patriots stormed off their side-
line in celebration as the chilled
crowd roared.
A three-time NFL champion,
Brady didnt throw for a touch-
down for the first time in 36
games, although he did pass for
239 yards.
Well, I (stunk) pretty bad
today, but our defense saved us,
Brady said. Im going to try to
go out and do a better job in a
couple of weeks, but Im proud of
this team, my teammates.
Brady needed help not only
from Cundiff s botched kick in
guiding the Patriots (15-3) to
their fifth AFC title in 11 sea-
sons, but from New Englands
maligned defense.
We stepped up, Pro Bowl nose
tackle Vince Wilfork said. We all
stepped up big time. Being in this
situation is a great moment. You
have to cherish this moment.
The Patriots shut down Ray
Rice, the leagues total yardage
leader, who was limited to 78
yards. Brandon Spikes made a
fourth-quarter interception of Joe
Flacco, who played well before
that and threw for two touch-
downs. And when the Ravens
(13-5) were threatening to score a
late touchdown to win their first
conference title in 11 years, New
England clamped down.
Its two great football teams,
two gladiators, I guess, just kind
of going at each other at the
end, and Im proud of our guys,
Ravens coach John Harbaugh
said. You know, weve got 53
guys, mighty men, as we like to
call them and they fought,
and we came up a little bit short,
as 53. You know, 53 win and 53
lose.
With Rice a nonfactor,
Baltimore had to rely on Flacco,
and he delivered one of his best
performances. Flacco has led the
Ravens into the playoffs in all
four of his pro seasons, but not to
the Super Bowl. He was 22 for 36
for 306 yards and touchdowns of
6 yards to Dennis Pitta and 29 to
rookie Torrey Smith.
The loss hardly could be
blamed on Flacco.
Operating against a maligned
secondary missing its top cor-
nerback, Kyle Arrington, who left
in the second quarter with an
eye injury, Flacco gave Baltimore
its first lead. His short pass on
third down to explosive receiv-
er Smith turned into a 29-yard
scamper down the right sideline
after Moore completely whiffed
on the tackle.
Danny Woodheads fumble
on the ensuing kickoff set up
Baltimore at the Patriots 28, but
a third-down sack forced Cundiff
to kick a 39-yard field goal, mak-
ing it 20-16.
New England didnt flinch.
Brady took the Patriots 63
yards in 11 plays, and seemed to
score on a 1-yard run. The call
was overruled
by repl ay,
though, and on
f ourt h-down,
he dived just
high enough
over the line
for the winning
points.
Those guys
fought all year,
and just like
today, it wasnt
always perfect, but they fought to
the final gun and we came out on
top, Belichick said.
Defense was particularly domi-
nant early on New Englands
31st-ranked defense. The Patriots
held Baltimore to minus-4 yards
on its first three first-down runs
and forced the Ravens to go three-
and-out each time. Meanwhile,
the Patriots put together a
methodical 13-play, 50-yard drive
helped greatly by an illegal con-
tact penalty on Lardarius Webb
that negated a tipped interception
by Bernard Pollard.
But Brady was sacked for the
first time by Paul Kruger and
Stephen Gostkowski kicked a
29-yard field goal.
Late in the first quarter, the
Ravens changed tactics after Webb
did pick off a pass intended for
Julian Edelman at the Baltimore
30. Flacco rolled right on first
down and threw deep down
the sideline to
a wide-open
Smith. Had the
pass not been
short, Smith
likely would
have sprinted
into the end
zone. Instead, it
was a 42-yard
gain, not bad
at all given
Baltimores pre-
vious ineptitude with the ball.
Cundiff s 20-yard field goal
momentarily tied it.
Brady, perhaps peeved by his
poor throw that Webb picked off,
hit two passes for 29 yards on a
75-yard drive to make it 10-3.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed
for 36 yards on that series, and
also drew a personal foul against
Webb, who ripped off the run-
ning backs helmet on a short
rush. Green-Ellis surged into the
end zone from the 7, then pointed
to the patch on his jersey honor-
ing Myra Kraft, the late wife of
Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Going back to the pass, the
Ravens tied it on a 6-yard throw
to Pitta yes, Baltimore has
some dangerous tight ends, too
that concluded an 80-yard
march. Flacco opened the drive
with a 20-yard completion to
Evans and then Anquan Boldin
escaped Arringtons attempted
tackle to gain 37 more yards on
a reception. Flacco was finding
holes in New Englands coverage,
particularly when he moved out
of the pocket.
New Englands All-Pro tight
end Rob Gronkowski made an
error at the end of a 63-yard
drive, failing to keep two feet in
bounds on a catch. Gostkowskis
35-yard field goal made it 13-10.
Gronkowski left for a while
with a left leg problem, but soon
returned.
Its a real credit to the play-
ers, Belichick said. I am real
happy they will get to play in this
game.

Wounded Warrior softball team defeats all star squad
PLANT CITY, Fla. When a
roadside bomb in Afghanistan
shredded Marine Lance Cpl. Josh
Weges legs in 2009, the former
high school baseball star won-
dered if he would even survive
let alone walk, run or play ball
again.
But on a recent Saturday after-
noon, a crowd at a Tampa-area
stadium watched him drill a pitch
from former U.S. Olympic soft-
baller Jennie Finch over an out-
fielders head and use his high-
tech prosthetic legs to run out a
triple finishing with a belly-flop
slide into third base. His Wounded
Warrior Amputee Softball Team
crushed an all-star squad that
included former pro and college
players 23-8.
Wege, 22, plays first base for the
barnstorming bunch of Army and
Marine combat veterans, most of
whom rely on prosthetic limbs.
Corporate sponsorships have
allowed the team to travel around
the country playing local teams
for charity, amassing a 14-13
record going into a game Sunday
against a team of first respond-
ers in Orange County, Calif. And
their schedule is growing, with 75
games already booked for 2012.
All of the infielders are miss-
ing at least one of their legs. Two
of the outfielders use those spe-
cial carbon-fiber running legs, the
ones that look like upside-down
question marks, for speed. One
outfielder is missing a hand, and
the right-fielder plays without his
entire left arm and shoulder.
His name is Greg Reynolds,
and after most Wounded Warrior
losses he challenges the toughest
dude on the other team to a push-
ups contest. He lets opponents use
both arms, but the 27-year-old
Massachusetts native has only lost
once. Seventy is his record.
There is no better feeling than
to get on the field and have people
think, You cant play, you only
have one arm, says Reynolds,
a former soldier who survived a
harrowing tour of duty in Iraq
only to lose his limb in a motor-
cycle accident back home. But
watch me play. Watch me play.
Watch what I do.
They play slow-pitch soft-
ball, but this is not your casual
Thursday night beer league. And
the in-your-face nature of their
disabilities doesnt inspire pity
or sympathy at least not after
they start punishing the ball, fly-
ing around the bases and making
highlight-reel plays in the field.
Finchs Fellowship of Christian
Athletes team won the other two
games last weekend, including
a 13-11 squeaker in the rubber
match.
At Wounded Warrior games,
kids ask for their autographs,
women hug them and veterans
pump their hands in gratitude.
The first time we got to see
him play with these incredible
ballplayers, I couldnt see the field
because I was crying too much,
says Dave Wege, Joshs father,
a Lutheran school principal in
Waucousta, Wis. It was such an
emotional thing because at that
point we knew that Josh was not
only back, he was stronger than
before in so many ways.
Coach David Van Sleet, who
worked in prosthetics for the
military for 30 years, started the
team 10 months ago and retired
in December to manage it full-
time. He got some players from a
tryout at the University of Arizona
and picked up others along the
way, relying on word of mouth
at the Veterans Affairs hospitals
and rehab centers. They come
together for the weekend outings
from around the country, always
trying to fit in a practice before
the games.
The team travels with 11 players
who proudly wear around $2 mil-
lion worth of prosthetic limbs, and
no matter the weather they wont
wear long pants. They want fans
particularly those with disabili-
ties to see they are different, but
just as good.
We got a good bunch of guys,
says the 55-year-old Tucson
resident Van Sleet, who is not
an amputee himself. A lot of
amputees are depressed, sitting at
home, not getting off the couch.
And we say, Look you dont have
to do anything at this level, but
you need to get up and go do
something. We try to encourage
other amputees to maybe get back
into a normal state of life, one
way or another. Theyve got to get
going.
Brian Taylor Urruela, 26, is the
catcher and one of the players
who wears a curvy running leg.
The former solider from St. Louis
lost his right leg below the knee
to a roadside bomb in Iraq in
October 2006, two days before he
was scheduled to finish his tour
and come home. The former high
school baseball player said it took
hundreds of practice swings and
other physical therapy work to
develop his hitting again, but he
figures hes nearly as fast on the
prosthetic as he was before.
When you have a disability
like this you have a feeling that
youre never going to be able to
do competitive sports again, said
Urruela, who is going to school in
Tampa. If you look at us, were
just about as good as any team that
plays as much as we do, and we do
that with missing limbs. But we
were ugly when we first started.
Its just a testament to what kind
of rehabilitation this game gives
to us.
Josh Wege, the teams only dou-
ble amputee, said he jumped at
the chance to play ball again but
acknowledged his initial fears that
he might not be able to do it at
a level that suited him. He got
help and encouragement from his
sister, a physical therapist who
worked with him to develop bal-
ance and other athletic skills he
would put to use on the field.
The morning of the first of three
games against Finchs team, Weges
dad tossed batting practice to him
on a Plant City, Fla., softball field.
Dave Wege watched his son spray
line drives all over the lot, grinning
with each satisfying thunk of the
aluminum Louisville Slugger.
One thing we say as amputees
is were trying to get back our new
normal, Wege said. Our limbs
arent going to grow back any
time soon, so this is the normal
youre going to have to get used to.
Without this team, my new nor-
mal wouldnt be complete.
those guys fought all year

and just like today, it wasnt
always perfect but they
fought to the fnal gun and
we came out on top.

fAcT Of The DAY
The MORNiNG BReW
QUOTe Of The DAY
A year to remember in college football
E
xactly two weeks ago, Alabama
defeated LSU in one of the most
painful football games I have ever
seen. Dont make the case that it was just
a defensive match-up between the two
best defenses in the nation, the Crimson
Tide defense didnt cause Jordan Jefferson
to become incapable of handling a snap.

As everyone in Kansas gears up for
the new era under Charlie Weis, here is
countdown, from least to most impor-
tant of my final three thoughts about this
years college football season.

3. What happened to defense?
Throughout the season, there were lots
of high scoring, shootout style games,
starting with the Baylor-TCU game in
the opening week. During the game it
seemed that no one could make a stop.
That game was a perfect indicator of
things to come. Eventual Heisman tro-
phy winner Baylor quarterback Robert
Griffin III threw almost as many touch-
down passes (five) as incompletions (six),
and the offensive onslaught with a late
Baylor interception ended TCUs come-
back hopes. Baylor would finish its sea-
son with another offensive showcase in
their 67-56 Alamo Bowl win. Teams that
pride themselves on a staunch defense,
such as Kansas State, found themselves
in similar shootouts throughout the year,
including a 53-50 four overtime victory
over Texas A&M.

2. No matter whos playing, in the end,
the SEC wins. While the folks in the dark
shadowy boardroom that represent the
BCS continue to claim having playoffs
will ruin the importance of the regular
season, they fail to realize is that chances
increase of rematch in the national title
game every year. How important was the
regular season if Alabamas November
loss to LSU didnt affect their chances of
making it to Super Dome? But I should
really just stop complaining, clearly the
SEC hype machine has the whole world
believing that their conference is so good,
that no one else even deserves a chance
to play for the national championship.
Then again, winning six consecutive BCS
titles gives them a right to brag.

1. College basketball knows how
to crown a champion. Everyone loves
March Madness. From the thrill of the
first round upsets (or the pain from
slamming your head against the wall as
he who must not be named pulls up from
behind the arc and sends the ball clean
through the hoop like a dagger inserted
into your heart to seal the upset.), to
knowing every team in the country has
a chance to at least play in the big dance,
to watching John Calipari and his team
of freshman flame out every year. There
is no comparison in college football, and
there wont be until college football insti-
tutes a playoff.

Forsman claims third title in season opener
K AU P U L E H U - K O NA ,
Hawaii Dan Forsman won
the season-opening Mitsubishi
Electric Championship on
Sunday for his third Champions
Tour title, closing with a 3-under
69 in windy conditions for a
two-stroke victory over Jay Don
Blake.
The 53-year-old Forsman, a
five-time winner on the PGA
Tour, finished with a 15-under
201 total at Hualalai Resort and
earned $307,000 in the 41-man
event. He opened with rounds
of 67 and 65 to take a two-stroke
lead into the final round.
Blake birdied the final hole for
a 67. He finished last season with
a victory in the Charles Schwab
Championship.
John Cook, the 2011 winner,
shot a 68 to tie for third with
Michael Allen at 12 under.
A warm wind that gusted up
to 25 mph kept scores relatively
high on one of the senior tours
easiest layouts. It was the first
time since 2000 that the winner
didnt have a sub-200 score at
Hualalai.
Forsman protected his lead
with three birdies in the first 11
holes. His first bogey since Friday
and only his second of the week
still left him with a two-shot edge
after 12 holes, and he held off
Blake with a birdie and five pars
on the closing holes.
Forsman struggled with a pain-
ful left hip last year, and had just
one top-10 finish. He dropped
to 45th on the money list after
finishing in the top 10 in his first
two seasons on the 50-and-over
tour.
Cook eagled the 10th and
added three birdies.
Gary Hallberg (68) and Jeff
Sluman (71) tied for fifth, four
shots behind Forsman.
Mark Calcavecchia, Jay Haas,
Brad Bryant and 62-year-old Tom
Watson tied for seventh at 10
under. It was Watsons ninth top-
10 finish in 12 starts at Hualalai.
Calcavecchia has seven con-
secutive top-10 finishes on the
tour, dating to his win last year at
the Boeing Classic. He matched
Hallberg for the low round
Sunday with a 66.

Carolyn davis, Junior forward
Falling victim to two early fouls, Davis had to sit for a de-
cent portion of the frst half. although Davis said it wasnt a
factor after the game, the aggies frontcourt defensive pres-
ence appeared to hinder her. Davis fnished the game with
3 of 6 from the foor and only fnished with 10 points and
four rebounds. The only good thing about Davis game was
her continued success at the free throw line. she was 4 of 5
from the charity stripe.

Playing against a defending
national champion is something
very few teams get a chance to do,
let alone twice in one year.
Kansas will get another shot
at No. 14 Texas A&M, last years
champion, later this season, but
the first round went to the Aggies
on Saturday night as they defeat-
ed the Jayhawks 76-65.
We dug ourselves a hole in the
first between turnovers and foul
trouble, Kansas womens basket-
ball coach Bonnie Henrickson
said. They got into us and got
pretty good separation.
Right out of the gate, the
Jayhawks did not seem in rhythm
offensively. They threw away
passes, could not stop the Aggies
when they drove in the lane
and failed to convert easy shot
attempts. All of this resulted in
an early 10-2 score in the Aggies
favor.
What I liked is that we were
trying to be aggressive, but
against a team like that, you cant
waste possessions, Henrickson
said. We wasted a lot of posses-
sions early.
Kansas also ran into issues
when their biggest low-post
threat, junior forward Carolyn
Davis, picked up two fouls early
in the first half.
Davis picked up only one more
foul in the game, but still strug-
gled on the offensive end, finish-
ing with only 10 points well
below her 18.1 points per game
season average.
It honestly didnt really bother
me much, Davis said. I wanted
to play, and I knew I was going to
have to play with fouls, and I was
going to have to be smart.
This put a great deal of anxiety
on junior guard Angel Goodrich
to carry the load offensively for
the Jayhawks.
Taking more shots allowed
Goodrich to establish a career
high of 28 points. However, her
11 turnovers are what really both-
ered Goodrich after the game.
I felt like I psyched myself out
because I know they put a lot of
pressure on. But they didnt put
on as much as I thought they
would, so Im really disappointed
on how I handled that, she said.
The Aggies defense was tre-
mendous all night, creating 23
total turnovers. A&M takes
pride in their defense, particu-
larly when they face a guard of
Goodrichs caliber.
The Jayhawks hope to learn
from this game quickly, as they
move on to another quality
opponent, No. 17 Texas Tech, on
Wednesday.
Despite the loss, senior for-
ward Aishah Sutherland reach-
ing the 1,000-point plateau was a
highlight for the Jayhawks. She is
the 25th Kansas womens basket-
ball player to reach this mark.
Im very grateful to go down
in history in this program,
Sutherland said. It just feels great
to be able to do that.
