WEEKEND EDITION

Tose who host may or may
not lose the most.
Te last big party Tim Hewitt,
a senior from Arkansas City,
held got a little out of hand.
Hewitt and his two
roommates sold all 200 cups
by 11 p.m. For $5, guests
flled up on either two kegs of
Natural Light or an Everclear,
vodka and Gatorade mix.
Te roommates would walk
away from the night with $175
proft.
Absolutely, hosting a kegger
would be very proftable, said
Matt Green, manager of On
the Rocks.
Cheap beer kegs Natural
Light, Pabst Blue Ribbon and
Keystone Light cost $84.99
at On the Rocks and typically
have 160 12-ounce servings.
Hewitt and his roommates
also spent about $100 on the
Gatorade mix.
Te problem? Its illegal to
sell alcohol without a license.
Its also illegal to sell alcohol
to a minor and to host a
minor. Since a policy change
in 2007, Lawrence police have
consistently enforced these
laws starting with the second
violation.
On the frst noise violation,
Lawrence police explain the
city ordinances and issue
a verbal warning, unless
something else and more
serious is going on.
If police have to respond to
another noise violation for
the same residence within 12
months, a citation has to be
issued.
Once were there for some
lawful purpose, chances are
were going to make some
observations, like a sign saying
Beer: $5, McKinley said.
Te big mistake hosts can
make, McKinley said, is not
answering the door. An ofcer
is assigned to follow up that
night or the next business day,
contact the landlord, contact
parents who have co-signed
the lease and fnd the hosts,
even at work or class. Penalties
in this case, McKinley said, are
more severe.
I encourage people to
be cooperative and polite,
McKinley said. Its kind of
like getting stopped for trafc
violation: your odds of getting
a break usually increase if
youre cooperative.
Te police ofcer writes the
citation, but the judge has
discretion over how severe the
penalty is. Excuses like Im
not selling the beer; Im selling
the cup or Its cover for the
band and entertainment
usually dont hold up in court,
McKinley said.
Hewitts last big party was
winding down by 12:30 a.m.
When people he didnt know
started fooding his house, he
and his roommates stopped
the music and told everyone
to leave.
Te police stopped by as
party-goers lef. As Hewitt
was getting the last of the
guests to leave the dance foor,
his roommates went out to
explain that the party was over.
Hewitts roommates were
polite and had stayed sober
to take care of any guests who
needed help or didnt have a
designated driver to take them
home. Tere wasnt a problem.
If youre hosting just for
money, you deserve to lose a
lot. Tats karma, Hewitt said.
You dont actually know the
people and youre probably
going to be less careful with
them.

MONEY
For those casually perusing
the Internet or surfng through
cable news channels, the word
bitcoin is probably seen or
heard quite ofen. However,
the concept of this new digital
currency is ofen confusing.
Although it has been
around since 2009, the
currency is fnding itself in
the limelight this week, thanks
to controversy surrounding
Charlie Shrem, the CEO of
BitInstant, a popular bitcoin
exchange website. Shrem
faces accusations that he
knowingly used the company
to convert cash to bitcoin to
be used on Silk Road, a black-
market website shut down last
year that is primarily used to
purchase drugs. With attention
like this across the media and
the Internet, questions and
concerns continue to pop up
regarding this new, mysterious
technology.
Bitcoin acts as a form of
payment on the Internet, with
buyers and sellers transferring
their bitcoins to and from
each others digital wallets like
online fle-sharing.
It may seem like a foreign
concept to many, and
University economics
professor Shu Wu said its not a
surprising development in the
way we pay for things.
Diferent forms of money
and payment have been used
historically, Wu said. First
it was stones, precious metals
or even chocolate as money,
so as technology progresses
you start to see these diferent
forms take shape.
How do you get bitcoin?
Many of the comparisons
made for bitcoin are not to
cash but to gold, which is a
precious, fnite commodity,
unlike money.
People think of Bitcoin as a
currency, but its really more of
a speculative commodity. Its
sometimes easier for people to
work with it when you think
about it like this, said Walt
Ohnesorge, a board member
at the Lawrence Percolator,
a nonproft local art gallery
that is the frst business in
Lawrence to accept bitcoin
transactions.
Tere is a fnite amount of
bitcoin in the world, 21 million
to be exact, and 12 million are
currently in circulation. In
order for a bitcoin to come
into circulation, it must frst be
mined.
Tose who mine bitcoin
do so by solving difcult
computer algorithms, almost
like computer puzzles, to
release the coins. Not just
Bitcoin becoming popular form of currency

A new form of digital currency known as bitcoin has recently come into prominence. Only 21
million bitcoin exist, and 12 million are currently in circulation.

Android system offers texting privacy
Tangled data web
Anything you electronically
send or post, whether via
Internet data service or
through a cellular provider,
may be used against you. In
court, the authorities need
probable cause and a warrant
in most cases. However,
hackers, and others who dont
follow legal procedures, do
not.
Scams targeting cell
phone users and breaches in
protected data storage have
become relatively common.
On Jan. 27, the Better
Business Bureau warned
Midwest residents of a new
One Ring scam, in which
programmed computers send
thousands of calls to random
cell numbers before hanging
up afer one ring. When the
victim gets curious and calls
back, they are connected to
a paid international line and
automatically billed about
$20.
In the world of mobile apps,
security researcher Steven
Hickson announced last
week that it took him just 30
minutes to write a program
capable of automatically
cracking Snapchats latest
security features.
Mike Kautsch, a KU
professor of media law, said
users can almost never count
on complete security in their
messaging.
All electronic messaging,
regardless of the type, goes
across the Internet through
so many diferent connections
and servers that it could go
almost anywhere and be
accessed by unknown parties
at a number of diferent
points, Kautsch said. You
may fnd copies reside on
servers even in other countries
and are accessible there.
Ensuring privacy
But for Android users, new
security is now available for
text messages. Te custom
Android operating system
CyanogenMod the
equivalent of jailbreaking
the phone has now added
the encryption app TextSecure
to its messaging. As a result,
CyanogenMods roughly 10
million Android users will be
sending encrypted messages
by default, but iPhone owners
can also choose to install the
app.
Adam Mansfeld, an attorney
with KU Legal Services, said
encryption is the only way
to guarantee some degree
of privacy in electronic
messaging. Encrypted texts
send with a complicated
number sequence that
wraps the data of the actual
message and requires a code
to unlock. Te sequence can
be broken without the code,
but it takes a great deal of time
and computer power.
Its like putting a letter in
an envelope, Mansfeld said.
Your encryption is wrapping
it up so nobody can see it
while its in transit; only the
person who has the key to
open up that envelope.
While Apple has said all
iMessage communications
are encrypted, security
researchers have contested
that Apple could choose to
decrypt messages themselves
because they control the
decryption keys. TextSecure,
however, has been better
received due to a feature called
perfect forward secrecy that
changes the decryption key
with each message.
Mansfeld added that, in
terms of law enforcement,
message encryption which
is also possible with emails
allows users to argue for
an expectation of privacy; so
fourth amendment protection
should apply because the
content cant be easily read
if intercepted. He also said
it is always a good idea to
use a password or gesture
lock as there have been cases
of police looking through
a suspects phone with and
without a warrant. Te law is
currently unclear on whether
the content of a single phone
merits fourth amendment
protection.
From a student perspective
Clare Frantz, a senior from
Lawrence, said she has heard
of message encryption but
doesnt use it herself.
For some people who are
really protective or careful
about their messages I can
see where that would be
appealing, Frantz said. For
me personally its not high
enough on my priority list.
Students may be more
immediately concerned with
how future employers might
access and use their social
media content during hiring.
Kautsch said that, while the
law is not plain, employers
could fnd themselves in
trouble for not respecting
privacy settings of a platform
such as Facebook.
One of the greatest
vulnerabilities is where
employers get information
that, if used against the
prospective employee, might
be a basis for a discrimination
claim, Kautsch said. For
example, the employer would
be barred from asking about
a prospective employees race.
But, if they get that info by
bypassing privacy settings on
Facebook, then the applicant
whose application is denied
upon fnding out that their
race was known based on
a background check on
Facebook, that could open up
liability.

Obama omits several
allies from address
WASHINGTON For some
White House allies, the list of ex-
ecutive actions President Barack
Obama announced in his State of
the Union address was marred by
a few glaring omissions.
Gay rights advocates are
seething over Obamas refusal to
grant employment discrimination
protections to gays and lesbians
working for federal contractors,
safeguards they have been seek-
ing for years. And some immigra-
tion overhaul supporters were
disappointed that he did not act
on his own to halt deportations,
which have soared during his
presidency.
On both issues, White House
ofcials say the place for action
is in Congress, where successful
legislation would be far more
sweeping than the steps the
president could take by himself.
But work on an employment
non-discrimination bill and an
overhaul of the nations immi-
gration laws is stalled on Capitol
Hill, leaving advocates perplexed
as to why their calls for executive
action did not t into Obamas
vow to act whenever and wher-
ever Congress will not.
In the absence of congres-
sional action, an executive order
that prohibits discrimination
by contractors is a tailor-made
solution to the presidents ex-
pressed aims, said Fred Sainz,
vice president of Human Rights
Campaign.

KU Parking gave out 33,990
tickets in 2013.
The parking department
made $6.15 million and
spent $6.09 million in the
2013 scal year.
If a student doesnt under-
stand why they got a ticket,
KU Parking encourages
that student to come by
the ofces, located in the
parking garage next to Allen
FieldHouse.
Student Senate is still in
the development stages of
a parking ticket forgive-
ness program that would
allow students to take a
parking test to get a ticket
removed without payment.
Haley Becker, a sophomore
from Springfeld, Mo., found
herself late to Kansas basketball
camping and stuck in the
parking garage. Upon entering
the garage, the machine didnt
dispense a ticket. Tis proved
problematic when it was time
for Becker to leave and she was
charged a $15 citation to get out
of the garage.
Te frustration Becker faced
that morning is something that
most students can relate to.
Student Senate platform
Many students will fnd a
parking ticket on their car at
least once in their time at the
University. Students usually
acknowledge their error, they
pay the ticket online and go on
with their day. Meanwhile, the
parking department remains a
mystery to them.
One of the Ad Astra
coalitions platforms from last
years Student Senate election
was the idea of parking ticket
forgiveness. Essentially, afer
a student gets a parking ticket
and they have the option to take
an online parking awareness
test and, if they pass, they get
the ticket removed.
However, Student Senate and
the Parking Commission are
still working on getting all the
kinks worked out and it will be
a while before students get to
use the program.
Te parking ticket
forgiveness program is still in
development with KU IT, said
Drew Humphreys, member
of the Student Senate Parking
Commission.
Students should expect more
information on parking ticket
forgiveness once the Parking
Commission begins meeting
for the semester.
Debunking the mysteries
Donna Hultine, the director of
KU Parking, estimated that the
Parking Department gave out
about 33,990 tickets and towed
206 cars in the 2013 school
year. KU Parking is funded by
users and the revenue from
tickets goes back into running
the Parking Department.
We are completely user
supported, Hultine said.
Teres no tax dollars, no
tuition dollars. It is just permit
sales, events revenue, garage
revenue, meter revenue,
tickets.
Te Parking Department
made approximately $6.15
million from student-users and
the expenses of the department
totaled about $6.09 million in
same 2013 fscal year.
Te Parking and Transit
Department controls the buses,
park and ride, meters, lots,
and, of course, tickets. It is also
in charge of paying for any
parking-related expenses such
as building new parking lots,
parking lights and water runof
in parking lots.
State agencies are mandated
by law to have a parking
function that raises money
because state dollars cant
build parking lots at state
institutions, Hultine said. It
has to be user fees.
State agencies such as the
University and Kansas State
University cant use tax dollars
or tuition dollars to create and
maintain parking structures
so they must create an agency
within the University to raise
funds.
As for students who keep
getting parking tickets, Hultine
suggests embracing the bus.
KU Parking and Transit has
an iPhone app so students can
fnd out when the next bus will
arrive. Tey are also working
on a project where students can
track the buses on their phones
and see where they are on the
map.
Hultine encourages students
who are new to the University or
dont understand why they got
a ticket to stop by the parking
ofce, located on the third level
of the Allen Fieldhouse Parking
Garage, and ask questions.
My philosophy is I would
much rather sell a permit than
write a ticket, Hultine said.

Winter storm wreaks havoc on southern roads
ATLANTA Helicopters
took to the skies Wednesday
to search for stranded drivers
while Humvees delivered
food, water and gas or a
ride home to people who
were stuck on roads afer a
winter storm walloped the
Deep South.
Students spent the night
on buses or at schools,
commuters abandoned their
cars or slept in them and
interstates turned into parking
lots. Te problems started
when schools, businesses and
government ofces all let out
at the same time. As people
waited in gridlock, snow
accumulated, the roads froze,
cars ran out of gas and tractor-
trailers jackknifed, blocking
equipment that could have
treated the roads. In the chaos,
though, there were stories of
rescues and kindness.
It wasnt clear exactly how
many people were still stranded
on the roads a day afer the
storm paralyzed the region. By
Wednesday afernoon, trafc
began moving around Atlanta,
though it was still slow going
in some areas. Te timing
of when things would clear
and thaw was also uncertain
because temperatures were not
expected to be above freezing.
We literally would go 5 feet
and sit for two hours, said
Jessica Troy, who along with a
co-worker spent more than 16
hours in her car before fnally
getting home late Wednesday
morning.
Teir total trip was about 12
miles.
I slept for an hour and it was
not comfortable, Troy said.
Most people sat the entire
night with no food, no water,
no bathroom. We saw people
who had children. It was a dire
situation.
Te rare snowstorm
deposited mere inches of snow
in Georgia and Alabama, but
there were more than 1,000
fender-benders. At least six
people died in trafc accidents,
including fve in Alabama,
and four people were killed
early Tuesday in a Mississippi
mobile home fre blamed on a
faulty space heater.
Elsewhere, Virginias coast
had up to 10 inches of snow,
North Carolina had up to 8
inches on parts of the Outer
Banks, South Carolina had
about 4 inches and highways
were shut down in Louisiana.

T
his is the semes-
ter most gradu-
ating seniors love
and fear simultaneously.
Tis is the last semes-
ter of being a college
student. Tis is the time
when you have to think
about the next chapter
in your life. Tis is when
you start applying for
jobs, long term internships
or graduate programs, etc.
Tis is the time where you
decide if you will stay in
Kansas afer graduation, go
back to your home state,
go to a new state or move
abroad. It may appear
daunting and stressful if
you do not know what
you want to do. However,
there are beauty and free-

I graduated from the
University of Kansas in
May 2012 with a degree
in Neurobiology with the
intention of becoming
a physician. Come May,
I had realized medical
school wasnt for me.
Talk about an Oh crap!
moment. I was scared that
I didnt have a plan afer
graduation. I thought
about getting my PhD
in biomedical sciences,
but I barely had research
experience. I luckily had
an internship that summer
at Stowers Institute for
Medical Research. When
I realized I had an interest
in craniofacial research,
I applied for research
assistant jobs that summer.
Te job outlook in Kansas
for research assistants with
a mere three months of
research experience was
pretty slim. Most of my
undergraduate experiences
were clinically relevant
as opposed to research
oriented. I felt unprepared
and was nervous I wouldnt
fnd a job.
My parents and advi-
sor encouraged me to
apply outside of Kansas.
I laughed at the sugges-
tion. Te truth was that I
was scared to leave home.
Everything I knew and
loved was in Kansas. I was
born and raised here. I
wasnt hearing back from
the jobs I applied to so
I ended up applying to
more than 20 positions
all around the country. I
received an interview and
a following job ofer for a
research assistant position
at the University of New
Mexico in Albuquerque. I
knew nothing about New
Mexico except it was a
desert and Breaking Bad
was flmed there. I did not
readily accept, as I was
hoping to hear back from
an interview in Kansas.
When that did not happen,
I took the ofer. I moved to
Albuquerque the day afer
my internship ended and it
changed my life forever.
I discovered who I was
and what I wanted to
become when I lef my
comfort zone. I worked in
an alcohol/memory behav-
ioral lab which sparked my
interest in drugs, phar-
macology and academia.
Tese were felds I never
considered as an under-
grad. I had the opportunity
to travel around the coun-
try to places like Seattle,
Chicago, Orlando and New
York City for numerous
conferences. I spent two
weeks volunteering in El
Salvador with an interna-
tional medical delegation
at UNM. I hiked my frst
mountain, I conquered
Bikrams Yoga and I spent
late nights dancing salsa
and merengue. I learned
to be responsible, inde-
pendent and confdent.
Tis discovery happened
because I lef home.
We live in this society
where you have to have
your life fgured out in the
four years afer you gradu-
ate high school. Its absurd.
At that point you are only
22 years old. You are still
developing as a person. Do
not be afraid of not know-
ing what you want to do
with life. Instead, embrace
it. Use it to your advantage
even if that means you
have to leave the state of
Kansas. Tis world is flled
with opportunities and
surprises and youll never
know until you set out for
them. Columnist Harvey
Mackay said, If you get a
chance, take it. If it chang-
es your life, let it. Tis is
the best advice I can give
for students about to em-
bark for the next chapter of
their lives.

f you lived 50 years ago,
how would things be dif-
ferent? How would you be
diferent?
Modern technology, espe-
cially social media, hasnt been
around very long. Tere was a
time before the Internet, even
if most of us dont remember
it. Teres a lot we dont realize
about how our world works,
and as the frst generation in
the Internet age its important
we be conscious of the many
things that were not that com-
mon in the past.
Te most relevant and fa-
miliar example is the smart-
phone. I nearly always have a
high-powered computer in my
pocket. If I was to tell someone
50 years ago that this would be
normal, they probably would
have brought up fying pigs.
Back then, computers flled up
entire rooms, yet had only a
fraction of the memory space
we expect today.
Im sure that most of us are
aware that home and mobile
computers have made advance-
ments in the last 20 years.
Did you know that wif wasnt
a popular term until nearly
2000? Did you know that 64-bit
processors didnt hit PCs until
2003 and that only 10 years
later they are now being ofered
in smartphones? Te Internet
has so much more potential,
too. As Internet speeds fourish,
coding spreads and social
media use increases, some very
cool things will happen. Its
hard to explain all these chang-
es without using tech-savvy
jargon, but its the diference
between walking and driving.
However, theres more to the
story than the power behind
our devices. Development has
radically changed our cultural
landscape. Video games were
archaic before the Internet; a
stark contrast to the 67 million
people who play the online
game League of Legends,
according to the Riot Games
ofcial website. Online dating
is becoming accepted and
efective via apps and websites.
Remember Blockbuster? Kids
already probably think its
laughable that you had to go to
a store to rent a movie.
Our entire lifestyles have
changed. Were still humans,
but because of the Internet we
have been changed forever. I
think its really cool that were
among the frst to experience
this. At the same time, we need
to be aware of how its afecting
us. Were the guinea pigs.
Teres some responsibility to
that. As we become parents, we
will have to raise our children
around advanced technology,
which will be new.
And that raises the question
just how diferent will things be
another 50 years from now?

FACTS ON ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING
Since she captivated the
world during her gold-medal
performance at the 2012
Olympics, gymnast Gabby
Douglas has had news both
bad and good. On the good
side, she published two books
and got TV gigs like a reporting
job for Inside Edition at this
years Super Bowl. On the
downside, she had to address
stories about her father, who
had not been in her life for
years, and ludicrous debates
about her hair.
But ups and downs were
nothing new for the young
star, as is clear in Te
Gabby Douglas Story, which
premieres at 8 p.m. EST
Saturday on Lifetime. Te
movie is one competitors story
of determination to succeed in
the games, the kind of thing
we will hear a lot of beginning
Feb. 6 when the early rounds of
the Sochi games start.
In a preview copy of the flm,
her success at the Olympics is
shown in a brief series of clips
of the real Douglas and her
family, so dont come to this
expecting tales of the Fierce
Five team. Instead, it focuses
on the years leading up to
those moments, with Douglas
played by Sydney Mikayla as a
child and by Imani Hakim in
her later years.
So the movie has young
Gabby, full of energy
and precocious talent for
gymnastics. It has her studying
Olympian Shawn Johnson and
deciding that she should work
with Johnsons coach, Liang
Chow (Brian Tee), which she
eventually did. It has her threat
to quit when she grew weary
of training in Iowa while her
family was in Virginia. It has
some mild confict with other
gymnasts in her early years,
though not the degree of
racism and bullying Douglas
would later describe.
Even more, it has the story
of Natalie Hawkins (Regina
King), who struggled to
meet the enormous fnancial
demands of a gymnastics
career while bringing up Gabby
and three other children. Te
movie has her trying to be
realistic, only to recognize that
Gabby has a remarkable gif
that should be used even if
that leads to sacrifces along
the way. Nor is Hawkins the
only one to ofer emotional
support; there are also Gabbys
siblings, and Natalies mother
(S. Epatha Merkerson).
We all know how the story
endsand, if you have paid
much attention to stories
about Douglas, the vignettes
that are pasted together for this
movie. Te idea, of course, is
to believe in dreams and then
work hard to achieve them.

NBC halts production on Sean Saves the World
NEW YORK Looks as
if Sean couldnt save himself
from low ratings.
NBC on Tuesday halted
production on the freshman
sitcom Sean Saves the World,
despite having committed
to fve more episodes a
move that means the series
has efectively been canceled.
Te comedy, featuring Will
& Grace star Sean Hayes as
a divorced gay dad whose life
is thrown into disarray when
his teenage daughter moves in
with him full-time, was part
of the networks latest heavily
promoted attempt to reclaim
its comedy dominance on
Tursday nights.
But the series has generated
meager ratings and very
little buzz, debuting to an
audience of just 4.4 million
and steadily falling to a low of
2.58 million viewers last week
and notching a paltry .7 rating
in the 18-to-49 demographic
(which translates to about
900,000 viewers).
When the news broke
Tuesday night, Hayes
responded on Twitter with
good humor: Tanks to@
SeanSavesWorld actors &
crew & @NBC for a wonderful
opportunity. Looking forward
to Obamas minimum wage
increase to $10/hr.
NBC initially ordered
13 episodes of Sean Saves
the World, despite its
modest debut, and made a
tentative show of support
for the series by ordering an
additional fve in November.
Tirteen episodes of the
series have already aired,
and an additional half-hour
installment has reportedly
already been flmed. NBC
has not said what it plans to
do about this last episode,
but this Tursdays comedy
lineup will be preempted by
the SNL Sports Spectacular
special.
NBC has not addressed
the fate of Te Michael J.
Fox Show, its other low-
rated Tursday night comedy
featuring the star of a
beloved former NBC sitcom.
Its numbers are not much
better than that of Sean
Saves the World, but NBC,
betting on Foxs appeal with
viewers, made a 22-episode
commitment to the project
before a pilot was even flmed.
Last week at the Television
Critics Assn. press tour, NBC
chairman Bob Greenblatt
expressed support for both
shows but frustration with
their low ratings: Creatively,
we think theyre good shows,
and were really unhappy that
we cant fnd an audience for
them in those time periods.
So were going to still work
hard to see what we can do on
Tursday nights. It is a real,
real uphill battle.
NBC, which also canceled
Te New Normal last
year afer just one season,
has not given up on series
about gay families. Tis week
the network announced it
had ordered a sitcom pilot
produced by Ellen DeGeneres
about a pregnant lesbian and
her straight male best friend.

In Possessions, one of

Oscar Nominated Short

ghost spirit of a broken old

havoc for a weary Japanese
traveler. A gorgeously realized
homage to the concept of
Tsukumogami that
afer 100 years, tools and
instruments attain souls and
self-awareness Shuhei
Moritas toon works as a
metaphor for the process of
animation itself: Whether
the artist is using pencil and
paper, or spacewarp sofware,
the inanimate is transformed
into something alive and vital.
Imagination takes fight.
Flight is the idea behind
Room on the Broom, another
of this years Academy Award
nominees. Adapted from
Julia Donaldson and Axel
Schefers childrens book, this
British-German featurette,
narrated in whimsical rhyme
by Simon Pegg, is about
a witch, her cat, and her
broomstick which acquires
a new passenger afer each of
a number of mishaps. By the
end, the soaring sorceress is
joined by a veritable Airbus-
load of companions a dog,
a frog, a bird all of them
pursued by a lumbering,
fre-breathing dragon. Te
CG animation has a bright,
picture-book quality, and the
voice talent reads like the
cast of a promising parallel-
universe flm: In addition
to Pegg, there are this years
supporting-actress nominee
Sally Hawkins, plus Gillian
Anderson, Rob Brydon and
Timothy Spall.
Also adapted from, or
inspired by, an outside source,
Mr. Hublot is a steam-punk
fantasy that brings Belgian
artist Stephane Halleuxs
mechanical sculptures into
a sublime 3-D animation
realm. Te titular star of
Laurent Witz and Alexandre
Espigares 12-minute gem is
an accountant whose orderly
world is upended by a stray,
doglike robot. Te characters
are stitched and soldered from
gears and dials, clockwork
mechanisms, metal and
leather, and the cityscape has
a retro-futuristic Industrial
Revolution charm.
Feral, from the Rhode
Island School of Designs
Daniel Sousa, reimagines the
wild child story of Francois
Trufauts 1970 flm, making it
something more primal and
ferce. Te pencil animation
casts a noirish sheen over this
wordless tableau, in which a
boy, living among wolves in
the woods, is discovered by
a hunter and brought to the
city to live. Te customs and
crowds do not sit well with
this edgy urchin.
Linking past with present,
tradition with new tech, and
starring that iconic squeaky-
voiced rodent Mickey Mouse,
the Disney short Get a
Horse! takes the conceit of
Woody Allens Purple Rose
of Cairo that characters
from flms can step of the
screen into the theater and
vice versa and has a slam-
bang romp doing so.
Joining Mickey in the
fourth-wall fray, which
toggles from ink-and-paint
black-and-white to vivid CG
hues, are assorted vintage
Disney fgures: Minnie
Mouse, Clarabelle Cow, and
Horace Horsecollar, and Peg-
Leg Pete as the road-hogging
lug trying to get Minnie in his
greasy mitts.
Get a Horse! is the short
in front of Disneys megahit
Frozen, so it is far and away
the most seen of these fve
Oscar contenders. Whether
its the most deserving is
another matter.
See them all and decide. You
wont be sorry.

Man hoards snakes in home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATIONAL
SANTA ANA, Calif. A
California schoolteacher was
arrested Wednesday afer
hundreds of living and dead
pythons in plastic bins were
found stacked foor to ceiling
inside his stench-flled home
in suburban Orange County.
As investigators wearing
respirator masks carried the
reptiles out of the house and
stacked them in the driveway,
reporters and passers-by
gagged at the smell. Some held
their noses or walked away
from the fve-bedroom home
to get a breath of air.
Te smell alone I feel
like I need to take a shower
for a week, said police Cpl.
Anthony Bertagna. Teyre
pretty much in all the
bedrooms everywhere.
Ofcers said they found
more than 400 snakes at
least 220 of them dead as
well as numerous mice and
rats, in the Santa Ana home
of William Buchman afer
neighbors complained about
the smell. He was arrested for
investigation of neglect in the
care of animals, Bertagna said.
Buchman, 53, was still in
custody Wednesday afernoon,
Bertagna said. Te Newport-
Mesa Unifed School District,
where he works, declined
comment, saying it was a
police matter.
Buchman has not yet had
a court appearance or been
formally charged and it wasnt
clear if he had an attorney.
Authorities said he lived
alone, and neighbors said his
mother, who had lived with
him, had passed away within
the past few years.
Sondra Berg, the supervisor
for the Santa Ana Police
Departments Animal Services
Division, said four bedrooms
in the home were stacked from
foor to ceiling and wall to wall
with plastic bins on wooden
and metal racks. Te bins were
packed so tightly, Berg said,
that they didnt require lids
because there was no room for
the snakes to slither out.
Each snake was catalogued
by name and type, and Berg
said Buchman told authorities
he was involved in a snake-
breeding enterprise.
House of Horrors: Tats
the best way to describe it,
Berg said of the house. I mean
theres so many dead snakes
... ranging from dead for
months to just dead. Teres an
infestation of rats and mice all
over the house. Tere are rats
and mice in plastic storage tubs
that are actually cannibalizing
each other.
Some of the snakes were
little more than skeletons.
Others, only recently dead,
were covered with fies and
maggots.
Next-door neighbor Forest
Long Sr. said he has known
Buchman for years, adding the
men had once been friendly,
getting together to watch
sports on television.
But he noticed a change
in his neighbor about a year
ago, he said, adding Buchman
stopped coming around and,
when he did, he appeared to
have gained a good deal of
weight.
Something changed in Bill,
yes it did, he said. Something
triggered it because I couldnt
even think that that was going
on.
Te odor from the
house, meanwhile, became
unbearable about fve months
ago.
It got so bad as to where my
wife would throw up, Long
said. Shed get out of the car
and run into the house.
He said neighbors speculated
that there must be a dead body
inside.
Bertagna said animal control
authorities had tried to work
with Buchman for several
months afer neighbors
reported the smell. He said
they sought a warrant afer
they were not allowed inside
the home.
Berg said Buchman told
authorities he was involved in
a type of snake breeding called
morphing, in which owners
try to breed diferent color
patterns in the reptiles.
It was a very popular and
lucrative enterprise 10 years
ago but has declined, she said.
Tere was a lot of fast
money in it, but now the
bottom pretty much fell out of
the market because there are
so many of these snakes out
there, she said.
At one time, Berg said, a
good specimen of the type
authorities found could have
fetched $5,000. Today it would
be worth only about $200.

Bitcoin is mostly used
on an individual basis,
with transactions taking

According to the Bitcoin

reason for this is that it does

said accepting bitcoin will
help attract new business the
Gallery might not have gotten
before as well.
Te Percolator likes things
that are new and edgy,
Ohnesorge said. Its really
easy to use and its really
secure, along with that it will
give us some extra visibility,
so theres an advantage there
even if its small.
How are transactions made?
A transaction of a bitcoin
happens on a person-to-
person basis through digital
wallets. It is like sharing a
fle from your computer to a
friends, only these fles have
a dollar amount attached
to them. It is free to open a
digital wallet for bitcoins,
and they can be kept through
mobile apps or on a website,
similar to a bank account.
Tere is, as with any
transaction, a buyer and a
seller. In the case of Bitcoin,
the buyer has the address
of the sellers digital wallet
and transfers the necessary
amount to it. Bitcoin can be
divided as well, meaning that
users can pay for a product
with one-eighth of a bitcoin,
for example.
Graham Stevenson, a junior
from Leawood, got his frst
bitcoin in September 2013,
when a single one was valued
at $240. Hes spent half of that
on various online purchases,
and has continued to invest in
more as the value per bitcoin
has risen. In his experience, he
said the currency combines
the best of cash and plastic
and hopes to see it become a
staple of the economy.
Im really hoping it
becomes where you can just
use it as regular currency,
Stevenson said. It has the
anonymity of cash, but the
convenience of a credit card,
so Im hoping it gets bigger.
Although Bitcoin users like
Stevenson would like the
currency to begin competing
with cash, Wu said they
should not get their hopes up
too high.
Bitcoin will not be money
because money has to be a
medium of exchange that
is accepted by the general
public, not by a small group,
Wu said. Te smart phone
and online payment are just
new payment technology,
with money you have cash. Its
a fnancial institution, which
will still be the case for time to
come. Tere will not be new
forms of money.

REGIONAL
Swimmers death casts light on campus sex assaults
COLUMBIA, Mo. Colleges
and universities are struggling
with sex assaults on campus,
even as they spend more time
and money to comply with
stricter enforcement of gender
discrimination laws.
But the case of a University of
Missouri swimmer, who said
she was raped in an episode her
parents say led her to suicide,
presents a challenge: How do
schools balance protecting
their student populations with
the needs of victims like Sasha
Menu Courey, who chose not
to go to police?
A police investigation is now
underway, but Menu Coureys
parents say the university and
its athletics department should
have already investigated their
daughters alleged of-campus
rape by as many as three
football players in February
2010.
University leaders said
they didnt learn about the
purported attack until afer
Menu Courey committed
suicide 16 months later. Tey
said they followed the law and
didnt have specifc knowledge
of the incident or a victim to
interview.
President Barack Obama last
week announced a new task
force on college sex assault,
citing statistics showing that
1 in 5 females are assaulted
while in college but only 1 in
8 report attacks. Te White
House called it a public health
epidemic.
At least 50 schools have
bolstered their eforts in recent
years. Complaints of Title IX
violations related to sexual
violence are also increasing, a
sign that Catherine Lhamon,
assistant secretary for civil
rights in the U.S. Department
of Education, attributes to new
vigilance on campus.
Obviously, there are all
too many that still need
prompting, she said.
Lhamons department
recently announced an
investigation of Penn State
Universitys handling of
sexual harassment and assault
complaints. Te University of
Colorado and California State
University-Fresno have been
ordered to pay millions for
Title IX violations asserted in
victim lawsuits.
At the University of Missouri,
extensive eforts have been
made to reduce sexual violence
on campus. An equity ofce
led by a lawyer oversees
compliance with Title IX, the
federal anti-discrimination
law more commonly known
for ensuring equal gender
participation in college
sports. Counseling and help is
available through two campus
agencies.
Students who eschew legal
intervention can seek a
campus disciplinary hearing.
Te university can also help
students switch dorms or
classes, or bar contact outright.
Te university didnt
immediately investigate afer
Menu Courey, who was from
Canada, killed herself in
June 2011. She had by then
withdrawn from classes at the
universitys urging and lost her
fnancial aid.
Te 20-year-old, who had
attempted suicide two months
earlier, was in a Boston
psychiatric hospital afer being
diagnosed with borderline
personality disorder.
Tere are many resources
out there, but theres not
really any (sense) that she was
provided with those resources,
said Zachary Wilson,
development director of the
Missouri Coalition Against
Domestic and Sexual Violence.
Its difcult for sexual assault
survivors to go at it alone.
Te school said in a
statement Tuesday that a 2012
Columbia Daily Tribune article
about Menu Coureys suicide
briefy alluded to the alleged
assault, but didnt meet the
legal standard that the school
reasonably should know
about student-on-student
harassment that creates a
hostile environment.
Te school also said Menu
Coureys parents ignored its
request for more information
a year ago afer it discovered
an online chat transcript with
a campus rape counselor
in which Menu Courey
mentioned an earlier attack.
Missouri initially responded
to an ESPN story about the
swimmer by defending its
handling of the case, then said
it was turning over information
to Columbia police.
University President Tim
Wolfe wants the schools
governing board to pay for
an independent legal review
of how ofcials handled the
case. Te Board of Curators
was considering the request
Wednesday.
Wolfe said the university was
committed to bolstering its
mental health services. He also
noted his own daughter was a
frst-year college athlete.
One of our students is dead,
Wolfe said. Our goal is to help
the Sashas of the world.
Other sexual assault cases
have been linked to Missouris
athletic department, including
former running back Derrick
Washingtons 2010 conviction
for sexually assaulting a tutor
in her sleep. Basketball player
Michael Dixon transferred
in 2012 afer two sex assault
claims against him went public,
though he was never charged.
In suburban Toronto, Mike
Menu and his wife, Lynn
Courey, have channeled their
grief into a mental health
foundation named for their
daughter. Tey arent looking
for money from the university,
just accountability.
We just want to make
sure that changes are made,
he said. We need more
than Band-Aids. We need a
transformation.

NFL
NY-NJ security tightens
for upcoming Super Bowl
NEW YORK Despite
no specifc terror threats
against the Super Bowl,
federal and local authorities
have heightened security and
studied intelligence about
recent attacks on mass transit
in Russia, law enforcement
ofcials said Wednesday.
Certainly, were keeping
an eye on activities around
the world, but as of this time,
there are no threats directed
against this event that were
aware of, New York City
Police Commissioner William
Bratton said at a security
briefng in Manhattan.
Because this years Super
Bowl has the distinction of
relying on mass transit to
take up to 30,000 fans to the
game, the deadly bombings in
the southern Russian city of
Volograd have raised worries
here, said Col. Rick Fuentes,
head of the New Jersey State
Police. Te suicide attacks
on a trolleybus and a train
station that killed more than
30 people within weeks of
the Winter Olympics also
prompted a series of meetings
among the planners for Super
Bowl security, he said.
Local ofcials are counting
on the FBI and the Department
of Homeland Security to keep
an eye on and brief us on those
events, Fuentes said. Tere
is a concern with mass transit
and weve prepared ourselves
for it.
Trains, buses and cars taking
fans from New York and parts
of New Jersey to the stadium
and back again are going to
be scanned, theyre going to
be checked, theyre going to be
swept, he said.
In Manhattan, the NYPD
is drawing on its experience
securing the annual New
Years Eve celebration in Times
Square, the New York City
Marathon, the U.N. General
Assembly and other high-
profle events to secure Super
Bowl Boulevard, a 13-block
street fair on Broadway.
Te department has deployed
hundreds of extra uniformed
and plainclothes police ofcers
to the area. Its also relying on
bomb-snifng dogs, portable
radiation detectors and a
vast network of surveillance
cameras to detect trouble.
In the weeks leading up to
the Super Bowl, the NYPD
rehearsed its response to a
variety of potential threats,
including the backpack lef
unsecured scenario, Bratton
said. We are very, very well-
prepared.
Te state police plan to
assign up to 700 troopers
at the stadium on Sunday,
Fuentes said. A security center
has been set up in a hollowed-
out building across a highway
from the stadium thats slated
to become a mammoth retail
and entertainment complex.
A 24-hour FBI command
center will monitor the latest
counterterrorism intelligence,
said Aaron Ford, head of the
FBIs Newark ofce. of security.
Tis year were going to try
to go blackout free, Miller
said.

REBOUNDS ASSISTS POINTS
The star of the game was hands-down Andrew
Wiggins. He broke another season-high points
total with 29 and scoring 12 of those points in
the rst half. Wiggins was 4-6 from three and
showed his aggression by getting to the foul line
six times, knocking down ve of the six. Wiggins
also came up with a huge fast break dunk at the
end of the game to seal the deal.
UNSUNG HERO
Ellis
Perry Ellis, forward
People might not agree because Ellis was held
to three points in the second half, but Ellis
scored 17 points and ve rebounds in the rst
half. He is a main reason Kansas had control
of the lead going into the second half. Ellis
played 33 minutes and had a good defensive
game against Iowa States Dustin Hogue.
GAME TO FORGET
Mason
Frank Mason, guard
Even though Frank Mason knocked down a big
three in the second half, those three points
were his only points of the game. He was 1-3

Mason forced three turnovers in 11 minutes.

Kansas continues winning streak against Iowa State
Many teams, especially
young ones, defate afer
seeing a signifcant early lead
vanish.
Look no further than the
back-to-back defending NBA
Champions. On Wednesday,
the Miami Heat held an
18-point lead in the frst
quarter against the Oklahoma
City Tunder only to see it
disappear four minutes before
halfime. Te veteran-led Heat
would go on to lose by 17 at
home.
Te Jayhawks didnt let that
happen.
No. 6 Kansas (16-4, 7-0)
fought of several furious
rallies as the Jayhawks
defeated No. 16 Iowa State
(15-4, 3-4) 92-81 at Allen
Fieldhouse. Every time Iowa
State threatened to take the
lead, Kansas young squad
wouldnt back down.
We fought when they went
on runs, sophomore Perry
Ellis said. Coach talks about
it all the time, you have to have
great composure.
As Kansas has done in every
half against Iowa State this
year, the Jayhawks charged out
to a sizable lead. Leading 30-
14 with 10 minutes remaining
in the frst half, Kansas began
to miss shots as Iowa State cut
the lead to one before taking a
46-43 lead into halfime. Te
Cyclones hit four consecutive
3-pointers during a two-
minute stretch to pull within
seven and eventually one with
a minute to go in the half.
We played as well as we
could play early, Kansas coach
Bill Self said. We knew theyd
make a game out of it.
Afer an Iowa State 3-pointer
to open the second half,
Kansas went on an 11-0
run to regain a double-digit
advantage aided by 3-pointers
from freshmen Wayne Selden
and Andrew Wiggins. With
a 13-point lead, Kansas again
saw Iowa State chip away as the
Cyclones began to fnd success
scoring near the basket.
When sophomore Georges
Niangs 3-pointer cut the
Jayhawk lead to one, Selden
found freshman Joel Embiid,
who slipped away from his
defender for a dunk to ignite
the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
With the help of a critical
fagrant foul on Iowa State,
Kansas extended its lead to
nine behind six consecutive
points from Wiggins.
It was a big play, it (the lead)
goes from three to seven in
the last three minutes, Iowa
State coach Fred Hoiburg said
about the fagrant foul.
Iowa State showed why its
ofense leads the Big 12 in
scoring as the Cyclones shot
48 percent from the feld and
made 10 3-pointers, four of
which came during the teams
frst half surge that cut the
Kansas lead to as much as
one before halfime. Self said
a 10-minute stretch by the
Cyclones in the frst period
was the best play by any
opponent he has seen all year.
If they play like that,
theyre still in the league
race, Self said.
None of this is new to the
Jayhawks, who led Oklahoma
State at home by 19 at halfime
before the lead dwindled to
one. Kansas frst meeting with
Iowa State in Ames saw the
Jayhawks open up a 15-4 lead
only to see Iowa State tie it
right before halfime. Both, of
course, ended in Kansas wins.
In a sport where scoring
runs are commonplace, these
Jayhawks dont get fazed. Tey
fght back.
We fought when they went on runs. Coach talks about it all the
time, you have to have great composure

8:23 - Naadir Tharpe misses from three, Joel Embiid misses the layup, Wayne Selden Jr. keeps the play alive and Perry
Ellis puts it in.
3:55 - Joel Embiid tries to go up and under, misses the bucket but draws the foul and knocks down both free throws.
Second Half
19:28 - Wayne Selden Jr. knocks down a 3-pointer to give Kansas the lead back at the start of the second half. Kansas

Te Jayhawks are coming
of of a win against Arkansas-
Little Rock (UALR) as they
head back down south for a
triangular against Arkansas
and Vanderbilt. Te meet
against UALR last week gave
the coaches a gauge of where
everyone was athletically.
I know everyone wants to be
better [this week], said head
coach Clark Campbell.
Each week we want to keep
progressing toward our end
goal and next week we want
to be better than we were this
week. We want to use this as
momentum going into the rest
of the season, Campbell said.
Te Vanderbilt Commodores
have a solid sprint freestyle
squad composed of freshman
Kayla Moran, sophomore
Hannah Martin, freshman
Christina Wang and junior
Caroline Tomas. Teir best
200-yard freestyle relay time
is 1:35.40. Noting that Kansas
best time of the season is
1:35.90 from freshman Lea
Wissocq, freshman Leah
Pftzer, senior Morgan Sharp
and freshman Pia Pavlic, its
going to be one exciting race.
Both the Commodores and the
Jayhawks have their work cut
out for them, considering the
best time from the Arkansas
Razorbacks is a 1:30.78.
For this meet, and the rest of
the meets during the regular
season, we want to get at or
below the times we did in
the fall, Campbell said. We
are all over the map with
performance.
Everyone is looking to beat
their personal records before
the team heads into Big 12 and
NCAA competition.
With this week [for
preparation] I expect the team
to get better, Campbell said.
Te triangular is hosted by
Arkansas on the Feb. 1 starting
at 11 a.m.

Afer a strong showing
against two ranked teams at
the Purdue Invitational, the
Kansas womens tennis team
will try to keep its momentum
going against No. 25 Nebraska
this Friday in Lincoln as well
as in its frst home match
against Liberty on Sunday.
Overall, the team showed
much improvement from the
fall slate and saw promise
in newcomers Caroline
Henderson and Morgan
Barnhill.
Henderson and Barnhill
showed some bright moments
in their frst collegiate matches
and are hoping to build upon
their game this weekend.
Tere were some moments
where they didnt play like
freshmen and there were
some moments where they
looked like they had only
been practicing with the
team for fve days, coach
Todd Chapman said. Te
biggest thing is having them
move forward and not take
everything as its life or death.
Afer the teams frst
tournament of the spring,
Chapman says that its mental
toughness has improved and
that its level of competition far
exceeds that of the fall season.
Te girls were hard at work
on the courts this past week,
and although it wont be easy,
the squad is confdent that
it can hold its own against
the Huskers. According
to Chapman, the girls are
beginning to realize that they
can compete with just about
anybody. Tey will have their
hands full, however, going
up against nationally ranked
Maggy Lehmicke of Nebraska
who fnished the fall slate with
a record of 8-5.
Our biggest thing is just
going into every match with
the mindset that we are going
to win, Chapman said. We
have come a long way and just
want to compete as hard as we
can point in and point out and
see what happens.
Kansas will work toward
gaining confdence and
discipline before the start of
conference play in March,
where they will kick of Big 12
competition against the Iowa
State Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.
Players to keep an out for this
spring for Kansas are senior
Paulina Los, junior Maria
Belen Luduea and sophomore
Anastasija Trubica. Te three
had impressive outings last
weekend at Purdue, each
winning a team high four
matches.
Chapman would also like
to add that there will be free
admission as well as free food
available for all those who
come out to support the team
this Sunday in their match
against Liberty. Matches
begin at 11a.m. at the Jayhawk
Tennis Center.

US intel sees uptick in
Sochi threat reports
WASHINGTON There has
been an uptick in reports of
security threats against next
months Winter Olympics in Sochi,
Russia, but the key concern for
an attack centers on locations
outside the main event areas, a
top U.S. intelligence ofcial said
Wednesday.
Matthew Olsen, director of the
National Counterterrorism Center,
told the Senate Intelligence
Committee that there is extensive
security at the sports venues in
Sochi.
But, he added, The greater
threat is to softer targets in the
greater Sochi area, and in the
outskirts, beyond Sochi, where
there is a substantial potential
for a terrorist attack.
FBI Director James Comey told
the panel that U.S. cooperation
with the Russian Security Service
has improved, and ofcials from
the two agencies have discussed
the Sochi threat.
In a separate development,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
spoke Wednesday with Russian
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu
to discuss Olympic security.
Hagel pledged U.S. assistance,
if requested. Pentagon press
secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby
said Hagel made no specic
offer of aid, and Shoigu made no
particular requests.
But Kirby said the two leaders
agreed that their military ofcers
would continue some type of reg-
ular contact through the Games
in order to keep communication
lines open in case assistance
was needed.
Associated Press
B
efore the arrivals of Peyton
Manning and Russell Wilson
in 2012, both the Denver Bron-
cos and Seattle Seahawks were mired in
mediocrity. Each team boasted strong
defenses, but each team also started
inadequate quarterbacks, and that fact
alone kept them from escaping the sev-
en to nine win rangethe NFLs version
of purgatory. At best, without Manning
and Wilson, the Broncos and Seahawks
wouldnt be up to par in the NFL and
wouldnt be in position win the Super
Bowl this Sunday.
Tey would barely scrape into the
playofs by the skin of their teeth and on
the backs of their defenses, only to get
curb-stomped by their frst-round op-
ponent. And at worst, they would pain-
fully miss the playofs in the fnal week
of the season on a last second feld-goal
or turnover.
Te plucky 2011 Broncos rode Tim
Tebows miracle working play, rattling
of six straight improbable, and most-
ly comeback wins from weeks eight to
13, thanks in large part to a sufocating
defense that kept them in those games.
Even still, the Broncos backed into the
playofs that year, on a three game los-
ing streak, which couldnt have been
accomplished without the help of a bad
AFC West. Te team fnished the sea-
son with a -81 point diferential.
Te season before, the Broncos fn-
ished 4-12, and in 2009, afer surging
out to a 6-0 record, they failed to make
the playofs, choking away eight of the
fnal 10 games.
Te Seattle Seahawks were 4-12 in
2009. Seahawks record was 7-9 in 2010
and made the playofs, thanks to the
uncompetitive NFC West, but went 7-9
in 2011 and missed the playofs.
Te Broncos and Seahawks, with
above average defenses and poor
quarterback play, combined for 38-58
during 2009-2011 seasons. Ever since
Manning and Wilson, the teams have a
combined record of 51-13.
Manning, the former frst overall pick
in the 1998 NFL draf, is having one
of the best statistical years for a quar-
terback in the history of the NFL at 37
years old. Wilson, the 75th pick in the
2012 NFL draf, is good, but less su-
per-human passing the ball. Hes known
more as a dual-threat quarterback given
his ability to carry the football.
Te two franchises did it diferently:
the Broncos gave Manning a contract
worth $96 million over fve years, while
the Seahawks stole Wilson for just $2.99
million over four years. Both strategies
worked, and here they are, Denver and
Seattle, Manning and Wilson: at the Su-
per Bowl.
GAME BREAKDOWN:
When the Broncos Run:
Knowshon Moreno has been the
unsung hero for the Broncos this year.
Not only has he been a rock carrying
the football and pass blocking, but he is
extremely dangerous catching the ball
out of the backfeld. He gives the Seat-
tle defense another Bronco to account
for, which should open things in the
secondary. Te Seahawks, on
the other hand pride themselves
in their unparalleled defensive
backs, which allows them to
bring more men in the box,
because they can trust their
corners to make plays on the
ball in one-on-one situations.
Its a toss-up here, but I will give the
edge to the Seahawks.
When the Broncos Pass:
Te Seattle defense only allowed 172
passing yards per game this season,
which was 63.6 yards better than the
league average. Tey were also the only
team to allow less than 300 total yards
per game. Peyton Manning versus Se-
ahawks defensive back Richard Sher-
man should be quite a duel, because
Manning may be the frst quarterback
to really challenge Sherman and throw
his way consistently. Broncos tight end
Julius Tomas could be the biggest
problem for Seahawks defensive coor-
dinator Dan Quinn. Nobody has been
able to stop him this season. I give the
edge to the Broncos.
When the Seahawks Run:
Tis is where the game could very
well be won or lost. If the Broncos can
contain Seahwaks half back Marshawn
Lynch, then Manning and the ofense
should get enough possessions to
spread the game out. But if Lynch can
keep drives alive and keep Manning
on the sideline, that would be a major
victory for the Seahawks. Denvers de-
fense is playing tough now, but Lynch
is tough to stop. I give the edge to the
Seahawks.
When the Seahawks Pass:
Te Broncos are with-
out defensive back Chris
Harris Jr. and defensive
end Von Miller, but defen-
sive end Nate Irving is play-
ing very well as a replace-
ment. Future Hall-of-Fame
defensive back Champ Bailey
will be locked in, playing in his frst Su-
per Bowl, and the Seahawks wideouts:
Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine
Kearse, and Percy Harvin are all formi-
dable, but are nothing the Denver de-
fense hasnt seen in the high-powered
AFC. I give the edge to the Broncos.
Ofen in strength versus strength
games like this one, its not whose
strong-suit is better, but whose weakest
unit plays well. You really are only as
strong as your weakest link. Who will
win the matchup between the Den-
ver defense and the Seattle ofense?
Denvers defense has been coming on
strong lately, and the Seahawks have
only scored more than 30 points 5
times this season, while Denver sur-
passed that mark 13 times. Neither
the Broncos ofense nor the Seahawks
defense has played an opposing unit as
strong as what they will see in the Super
Bowl, so it might be a wash. Te weath-
er will help tilt the balance to the Sea-
hawks side, because their team is based
on defense and running the football,
while Denver relies on timing patterns
by the wide receivers and a fast paced
ofense, but, all things considered, the
Seahawks defense wont be enough.
Peyton Manning will make just enough
plays, and the Broncos defense will
hold up strong. Denver 27, Seattle 21.

PAGE 12 Jayhawks prepare for meet in Arkansas
KANSAS 92 - IOWA STATE 81
GEORGE MULLINIX /KANSAN
Freshman center Joel Embiid works hard for a basket after grabbing the offensive rebound late in the rst half. Embiid scored 14 points and had 11 rebounds.
Cyclones fail to blow away Jayhawks
With Iowa State mounting
a comeback late in the second
half against the Jayhawks,
Andrew Wiggins ran back on
defense and positioned himself
perfectly under the rim. He
knew the shot was coming and
made sure he was ready for it.
Shoulders squared, hands up
and letting everyone know that
if the ball came near the rim it
would end up in his grasp.
Seconds later Wiggins stood
in the paint screaming at
himself as Iowa States Melvin
Ejim hurled his body at the
rim, grabbed the Cyclone
rebound and came back up for
the easy lay in.
Te same Andrew Wiggins
whose career high 29 points
helped Kansas to a 92-81
victory over Iowa State still
found a reason to get upset
with himself. Never mind the
six straight points Wiggins
scored with three minutes lef
to keep the Cyclones out of
reach.
Transitioning to the college
game hasnt been the easiest
move for Wiggins, but
his development has been
impossible to ignore. Extreme
expectations aside, against
Iowa State Wiggins displayed
the attributes that made him
a coveted prospect coming out
of Huntington Prep.
Im feeling more
comfortable on the court,
Wiggins said afer his second
consecutive career game. Its
slowing down for me.
From the start it was Wiggins
igniting the Kansas ofense to
30-14 lead halfway through
the frst frame. As usual for
the freshman the points came
by way of jump shot or layup.
Rarely does he cycle through
his arsenal of highlight worthy
dunks. Te one time Wiggins
even considered getting fancy
on a fast break late in the
second half with Kansas
clinging to a four-point lead
he decided securing the points
was more important than a
viral video.
Better safe than sorry,
Wiggins said shrugging it of.
It was only once Wiggins
came of the foor in the frst
half that Iowa State was able
to climb back into contention.
What appeared to a quick
breather for Wiggins became
a fve-minute, 20-7 run for the
Cyclones.
Iowa State coach Fred
Hoiberg, whos been a Kansas
opponent as both a player and
coach, noted that if teams can
withstand the Jayhawks initial
push at tipof, they would have
a chance to chip away at the
lead later in the game. Te
Cyclones held on early, they
just couldnt help themselves
out anymore than that.
We had very good looks
that we just didnt knock
down, Hoiberg said.
Instead it was Kansas
that fowed with as much
precision as its shown all
year. Both Naadir Tarpe
(12 points, 12 assists) and
Joel Embiid (14 points, 11
rebounds) recorded double-
doubles. Wayne Selden Jr.
added fve assists himself
and the Jayhawks relentlessly
pounded the glass, grabbing 10
more boards than Iowa State.
With the starting fve in sync,
there was hardly any need for
backup. In fact the Kansas
bench only added six points.
Were getting hard to guard
because were able to score
from all fve spots, Kansas
coach Bill Self said.
Against Iowa State there was
no one tougher to guard than
Wiggins. Although Self argued
thats been the case the whole
season.
Hes been good all year, Self
said. He just hasnt lived up
to the hype. Teres no way he
could have.
On Wednesday the kid who
was pinned as the next Lebron
James was able to lock down
the skills that initially drew the
comparisons.
All Andrew Wiggins could
complain about was one
missed rebound. He still tallied
seven others.
You can just tell hes oozing
with confdence, Hoiberg
said. Tats scary.
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
Junior point guard Naadir
Tarpe drove to the lane with
three minutes lef in the frst
half and decided not to score.
Instead, Tarpe dished the
ball to sophomore forward
Perry Ellis, and Ellis fushed
the ball with a two-handed
slam.
Tarpe, who has stepped up
his game during conference
play, showed his experience
and leadership during the
92-81 Kansas victory.
Toward the end they tried
to trap me a little bit, but
I knew I had to get dudes
involved and get them going,
said Tarpe, who is a frst-
year starter. Tat is the most
important thing. I was just
trying to draw defenders and
fnd the open man and they
were just knocking down
shots.
Te second half was where
Tarpe showed his experi-
ence and leadership. At the
15-minute mark, Tarpe
grabbed an ofensive rebound
at the top of the key and
didnt shoot the ball. Instead,
Tarpe held on to the ball and
ended up with an easy assist
to freshman center Joel Em-
biid.Tarpe ended the game
with a season-high 12 assists
and only one turnover.
Turnovers have been
Tarpes weakest attribute of
his game, but overcame his
struggles as of late. Tarpe
gave up 11 turnovers in
the beginning of the Big 12
conference. In the past three
conference games, he had just
one turnover.
Te scoring aspect of
Tarpes game has been
conservative in conference,
but has made some key shots
for Kansas. Tarpe took the
game into his own hands
when the game became
close at 65-61. He had the
ball at the top of the key and
swished a 3-pointer to pad
Kansas lead to seven points.
Tarpe fnished with 12
points and 12 assists, which
is the frst time this season
Tarpe earned a double-dou-
ble.
Two of those points came
with less than one minute
lef in the game and were
two clutch points. Te points
came at the free-throw line
for Tarpe afer an Iowa State
personal foul to stop the
clock, and Tarpe extended
the lead to 10 points, 86-76.
Te calm demeanor at the
free-throw line was an ex-
ample of Tarpes experience
as a junior. He understood
that the team was relying on
him to knock down both free
throws and enlarged the lead
late in the game.
I just wanted to try to do
whatever I can to help the
team, Tarpe said. Coach
has put the ball in my hand
and given me the chance
to make plays and have every-
body follow me.
Te Jayhawks are now 7-0
in the Big 12 conference and
they are now led by an upper-
classman.
Im not surprised at all
because Coach Self prepares
us, Tarpe said.
Were getting hard to guard

because were able to score
from all ve spots.
