The State of the University was given via a video emailed to all students and faculty. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little further outlined the Universitys Bold Aspirations plan. Provost Jeffrey Vitter elaborated on her remarks in an interview.

state of the state

The State of the State was focused primarily on the states taxes and budget. The state budget for the 2013 fiscal year was released and details the governors plans for the states universities. Vitter said the University is pushing forward with its Bold Aspirations plan despite state wide budget cuts.

Vitter said the University aims to increase admission standards to make KU a more challenging and attractive school to potential students. He said by having students leave high school more prepared for college will increase the likelihood that they will will continue to graduation. He said the new Bold Aspirations curriculum being developed is aimed at keeping students on degree tracks to graduate quickly and save money.

Graduate revitalizes Kenos

kelsey cipolla
kcipolla@kansan.com Papa Kenos has had a rough couple of years, but the man who resuscitated Jeffersons wants to turn the pizzerias reputation around. In 2008, the restaurant closed for a month while former owner Greg Keenan worked to settle a $170,000 tax debt with the state. Then last year, 25 employees filed complaints with the Kansas Department of Labor saying they had not received payment. Brandon Graham, the new owner and a 2002 KU graduate, has experience reviving a flailing Lawrence favorite. He bought Jeffersons last April after the owner failed to pay close to $47,000 in taxes. Graham, who also owns several Mr. Goodcents locations in Kansas, purchased Papa Kenos two weeks ago. Keenan still owns the Overland Park location. What we look for are local favorites that have a lot of potential and that have a solid foundation, but just need some help reaching their full potential, Graham said. Growing up in Lawrence, Graham and his business partners have fond memories of Papa Kenos, as well as Jeffersons. Local institutions with lots of history have a nostalgic pull for us, Graham said. Starting this week, Graham is updating the restaurants interior and equipment, but the menu will stay the same. Graham said he isnt worried about the business, despite the pizzerias bad publicity in recent years . I think that we will capitalize on the fact that there is new ownership and that we do things a little bit different, he said. I think thats going to play for us positively. The bad memories of Papa Kenos havent faded for everybody, especially Lorus Byers, one of the former employees who filed a claim against Keenan. He withdrew his claim when Keenan accused him of faking time cards because the amount of money he was owed wasnt worth fighting over, Byers told The Kansan for a story on the owner last year in April. Hopefully the new management can change the structure of the business, and the way employees are treated, Byers said. Byers said that although people liked the food, he thought Keenans methods made it morally difficult for the community to support the restaurant. Matt Snively, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., said he has always been a fan of the restaurants massive slices of pizza and wasnt aware of the scandals surrounding the restaurant. I wasnt aware of the restaurant having any issues, but the pizza is good, Snively said. It wont stop me from eating there in the future. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

Endangerment case sent to trial

The girl told the judge she did not believe Benedict should be criminally responsible for what occurred, and they developed a tap-out system to ensure she would not be harmed while he choked her. Douglas County Detective Jay Armbrister testified on Wednesday that hand-written documents found in Benedicts backpack between Benedict and his former girlfriend showed there were times she wanted him to stop choking her, but he didnt. Benedict faces additional charges in a juvenile case because the prosecution contends he was not 18 when some of the incidents occurred. A trial date has not been set. Edited by Pat Strathman

A Douglas County judge decided Friday a University student would stand trial on two child endangerment charges after allegedly Benedict choking his minor girlfriend numerous times, causing her to lose consciousness. Trevor Benedict, 19, and his defense asked District Judge Sally Pokorny for a case dismissal during a preliminary trial after Benedicts 17-year-old former girlfriend, the victim in the case, testified on Benedicts behalf because the numerous choking acts were consensual. Pokorny denied their request, and said the victim could have died dur-

Brownback promises aviation industry jobs

A week after Boeing announced its decision to shut down its sprawling plant in Wichita, Gov. Sam Brownback was stuck doing damage control. He called the closing a setback in his State of the State address on Jan. 11, promising new aviation jobs and economic growth. To emphasize his point, Brownback mentioned his visit to Wichita the day before to help unveil Bombardier Learjets expansion there. And we arent done yet, he said during his address. There will be more. The message was clear: Kansas aviation industry would bounce back. Though Boeings departure is a symbolic blow to the state and a very real one to the 2,160 people who will no longer work there experts say its far from fatal. But to create long-term growth in the aviation industry and bring jobs back to Kansas, the state will have to do a better job attracting new business, said Bob Brewer, Midwest director for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace. Weve got to take a different look at the way were doing things here, he said. For the full story, see PoliticalFiber.com. Michael Holtz for PoliticalFiber.com michael@politicalfiber.com

Last Saturday, 310 students stayed on their feet for 12 straight hours. Their purpose was printed on their t-shirts and wristbands and yelled within the Kansas Union ballroom- for the kids. The students were gathered for Dance Marathon, a program under Childrens Miracle Network that provides financial and emotional support for children and families at local hospitals. All proceeds from KU Dance Marathon go to KU Pediatrics. This year KU Dance Marathon raised $60,040.70, twice the amount of last years total. Since the start of KU Dance Marathon in 2007, participants have raised $152,000. Hilary Ferguson, a senior from Lawrence, has been involved with KUDM since her freshman year. She said the events success stems from people being so supportive of the cause. Why wouldnt you want to raise money for kids? Ferguson asked. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., participants played games, ate food and, of course, danced. But the most rewarding part of the day for many students was meeting the kids their money and effort benefit.. I love seeing these kids and being able to help them, said Shelby Spjuth, a freshman from Chicago. Spjuth, who is studying to be a special education teacher, said that helping children overcome adversity is important to her.

Students dance along to live music by Down With Gravity during the KU Dance Marathon 2012 Saturday afternoon in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union to raise money for the Childrens Miracle Network. Money raised went to local families through the network.

The children were introduced at the beginning of the event and ran with Big Jay through a tunnel of supporters. Kirby Knipp, a freshman from Olathe said watching the kids run gave him goosebumps. I actually didnt know that we were going to actually meet the kids, Knipp said. Its a really fun way to support, instead of just donating money online. Knipp was participating for the first time, but other students were veterans of the dance marathon, such as Matt Araiza, a senior from Plano, Tex. Araiza has participated for three years and said the marathon is a good way to bond with his fraternity brothers while doing something worthwhile for children. But there was also a competitive

factor. KUDM participants group themselves into teams to raise more money and get their friends involved. We kind of want our team to be the most energetic, so thats what we aim for every year, Araiza said. Students showed their dedication last week by standing during classes on Wednesday to spread the word about the marathon and the cause it supports, said Megan Watson, the KUDM executive director and junior from Overland Park With Dance Marathon, the premise is that we stand for 12 hours for the kids that cant, with the intent that hopefully someday, these miracle kids will be able to stand with us, Watson said.

NEwS of thE woRLD Romney gains momentum

Associated Press

after taking Nevada caucus

ASSocIAtED PRESS
LAS VEGAS Now its on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine. With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandoning his White House bid all but ensuring the battle will stretch into the spring if not beyond. Shortly after losing big to Romney here, the former House speaker emphatically renewed his vow to campaign into the party convention in Tampa this summer. His goal, he said, was to find a series of victories which by the end of the Texas primary will leave us at parity with Romney by early April. Gingrich continued to shrug off Nevadas caucus results in an appearance on Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press. This is the state he won last time, and he won it this time, he said of Romney. Our goal is to get to Super Tuesday where were in much more favorable territory. But first, Gingrich must make it through Colorado and Minnesota, which both hold caucuses Tuesday. Maine follows on Saturday during a month that promises to be as plodding as January was rapid-fire in the presidential race. Romney will look to maintain his position of strength, if not build upon it, as his rivals continue working to derail him even as their options for doing so narrow with each victory he notches. The former Massachusetts governor held a double-digit lead Sunday morning over his nearest pursuer as the totals mounted in Nevada, where fellow Mormons accounted for roughly a quarter of all caucus-goers. Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul vied for a distant second. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum trailed the field. Santorum won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and has trailed in the contests since then. He nonetheless insisted on Sunday that our numbers are moving up continually. I think were going to show improvement. This race is a long long way from being over, Santorum said on Fox News Sunday. And on ABCs This Week, Paul maintained the results show voters are still up for grabs. I get energized because I know theres a large number of people who are looking for another option, Paul said. With votes from 71 percent of the precinct caucuses tallied, Romney had 48 percent, Gingrich 23 percent, Paul 19 percent and Santorum 11 percent. Turnout was down significantly from 2008, when Romney also won the states GOP caucuses. Romneys victory capped a week that began with his double-digit win in the Florida primary. That contest was as intense as Nevadas caucuses were sedate so quiet that they produced little television advertising, no candidate debates and only a modest investment of time by the contenders. A total of 28 Republican National Convention delegates were at stake in caucuses held across the sprawling state. Romney won at least 10, Gingrich at least four, Paul at least three and Santorum at least two. Eight were still to be determined. That gives Romney a total of 97, including endorsements from Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the convention and can support any candidate they choose. Gingrich has 30, Santorum 16 and Paul seven. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

Chavez celebrates anniversary

cARAcAS, Venezuela Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez celebrated the 20th anniversary of the failed coup attempt that launched his political career on Saturday, presiding over a military parade while fighter jets and helicopters roared overhead. Chavez used the occasion to reiterate to Venezuelans that the military is firmly behind him as he runs for re-election in October. From now on we will have generals, admirals, officers and troops (who are) revolutionaries, anti-imperialists, socialists and Chavistas, so that it hurts the bourgeoisie and imperialism all the more, the president said at the televised parade. The armed force is Chavista. Chavezs adversaries have condemned the increasingly politicized military leadership as the president has recently promoted outspoken
loyalists to top posts. Chavez, who survived a 2002 coup that briefly ousted him, has since sought to ensure the military is solidly behind him. The government has held celebrations on the date since Chavez took office in 1999. Opponents have criticized the festivities while noting that dozens were killed in the coup attempt. How can a failed coup that was unjustified, violent and bloody ... be celebrated? asked Carlos Vecchio, an opposition politician. Chavez said the military coup attempt of 1992 was a rebellion against political leaders who were subordinated to U.S. imperialism. He said the sort of generals who were in charge two decades ago will never again exist in Venezuela.

Kenya continues to fight hunger

NAIRobI, Kenya The United Nations said Friday that Somalias famine is over, but the world bodys Food and Agricultural Organization warned that continued assistance is needed to stop the region from slipping back. The world body moved the crisis from the top step of a five-point scale based on the death rate to the fourth step, formally reducing it from a famine to a humanitarian emergency. However, the U.N. said that 2.3 million people remain in a food crisis situation in Somalia and still need assistance. That represents 31 percent of the countrys population. Across the Horn of Africa region the total is 9.5 million who need help. The international body declared famine in Somalia last July after successive failed rains. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled to refugee camps in Kenya, Ethiopia and the Somali capital Mogadishu in search of food.

Car bomb kills seven, wounds 21

KANDAhAR, Afghanistan A car bomb exploded just outside the police headquarters of a southern Afghanistan city on Sunday, killing at least seven people, officials said. The blast went off at a parking lot outside the police building in Kandahar, said Faisal Ahmad, a spokesman for the provincial government. Five police officers and two civilians were killed, and least 21 people were wounded, he added. The blast was large enough that wwbuildings. It appeared
the bomb was in a parked vehicle and was remotely detonated, said Zalmai Ayubi, another government spokesman. NATO forces helped secure the area as Afghan police carried the wounded to ambulances and loaded the bodies of the dead into the back of a pickup truck. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Although the international military coalition in Afghanistan has poured resources into Kandahar city and its vicinity in recent years as part of a push to take back insurgent strongholds, the area has remained dangerous and there have been repeated attacks against government installations. The U.N. reported on Saturday that 2011 was the deadliest on record for civilians in the Afghan war, with 3,021 killed as insurgents ratcheted up violence with suicide attacks and roadside bombs. Civilian deaths from military or other pro-government forces decreased slightly.

OCCUPY MOVEMENT

chicago college brings occupy into classroom

CHICAGO A Chicago college is offering a class on the Occupy movement. Thirty-two undergraduate students are enrolled at Roosevelt Universitys Occupy Everywhere class. Its a threecredit political science course that looks at the movement that started last summer near New York Citys Wall Street and spread nationwide. The Chicago Sun-Times reports students assignments include reading the movements newspaper and attending Occupy Chicagos general assembly meetings held near Roosevelts downtown campus. Leaders from the Chicago movement may present guest lectures. Professor Jeff Edwards studies social movements. He says the Occupy movement has been unfolding before students and the class is a good opportunity for them. He says they are reading a range of analysis on the movement concerned with corporate greed and the division of wealth. Associated Press

Contract issues stop black Sabbath tour

entertainment

LOS ANGELES Iconic metal band Black Sabbath could be facing another hitch in its plans to reemerge with a new tour and forthcoming album this year due to drummer Bill Wards unhappiness with the touring and recording contact he was offered. Ward released a public statement Thursday saying that the proposed agreement was unsignable and would cause him to lose his rights, dignity and respectability as a rock musician. The news comes less than a month after the band publicly revealed that it was forced to pull out as headliners of this years Coachella festival line-up due to guitarist Tony Iommis lymphoma diagnosis.

NBC hopes to boost ratings with musical

mCCLaTChy Tribune
LOS ANGELES NBC is banking on a musical about a tragic icon for a reversal of its own misfortunes. In its biggest gamble since betting on Jay Leno in prime time, NBC on Monday will debut Smash, an ambitious drama about turning Marilyn Monroes life into a Broadway musical with soaring song and dance numbers. Smash has an all-star lineup in front of and behind the camera. It stars Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee and was created by playwright Theresa Rebeck. Producers include Steven Spielberg, Tony Award-winning composer Marc Shaiman, and Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, producers of the Oscar-winning Chicago. That level of talent and production hasnt come cheaply. The pilot for Smash cost more than $7 million to make, and subsequent episodes are running close to $4 million apiece, according to people with knowledge of the show who did not want to speak publicly on the subject. Smash is a passion project for NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt, who took the top programming job at the network a little over a year ago. A lifelong theater aficionado, Greenblatt even took a breather from his then job as head of programming for Showtime in 2009 to put on a musical version of the movie 9 to 5 on Broadway. I didnt have time to make Smash when I was at Showtime, so when I came to NBC, its one of the first things I picked up, Greenblatt said last month at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena. We are doing something very ambitious here, not only producing a musical every week but one that has original songs in addition to covers of well-known hits.

The Voice starts its second season

mCCLaTChy Tribune
LOS ANGELES When Paul Telegdy moved to Los Angeles, he was struck by the contrast between U.S. celebrities and those from his native Britain. People here took themselves extremely seriously once they were in the public eye, Telegdy, NBC Entertainment president of alternative and late night programming, said in a recent interview. Telegdy, who then was an executive with the BBC, arrived in L.A. in 2004 to start a production firm to make Dancing With the Stars for ABC. Initially, celebrities they approached wouldnt even return their calls. It was like, Guys, just come and play, Telegdy said. Telegdy wanted to bring that playful sensibility to the singing competition The Voice, NBCs only solid hit last year. The beleaguered network rolls out the second season of the series (which features celebrity coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine) Sunday in the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot. It might just be the way the show was set up, but these judges said Amy Sotiridy, director of national broadcast for the adbuying agency Initiative. Her firm represents car company Kia, which is a show sponsor. But the main selling point was the shows positive energy. The (judges) are telling people how to get better, and because they are stars in their own right, their advice is more valuable, Sotiridy said. They are not just saying, You stink, now get out of here.

I heard that the whale in Potter Lake is an abstract algebra god. Thats why he lives so close to Snow Hall.

Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released a directive, countermanding the provisional conscience clause regarding exemption to individuals and institutions who are morally opposed to the use of contraceptives and abortificants under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare). In other words, we now live in a country where Mother Theresa of Calcutta and Francis of Assissi could be thrown in jail for not providing the morning-after pill. If this werent the United States of America, that might be the slightest bit totalitarian. This matter doesnt just affect those in the medical field. At the

very least, it obliges the rest of us to pay, in taxes, for practices which not only violate our sensibilities, but our very consciences. Its impossible for me to briefly say what, to a believing Catholic, contraceptives and abortifacients effect. It is tantamount to obstructing and destroying creation itself, analogous to forcing beef on a Hindu or conscripting the Amish for war. Those of you who read the New York Times already know that Catholics would like nothing better than to oppress the state because were genetically incapable of understanding religious freedom any other way. My hope is the rest of you will have a more enlightened (less 18th century) view of us. As a Catholic, it is an action that is particularly disconcerting for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the cavalier nature of this persecution and silence of our vaunted media watchdogs. Besides being the oldest active pro-bono health care provider on the continent, nay, in the world,

the Church is the intellectual and cultural repository for western civilization. Effectively, the Obama administration is sawing the branch on which we all sit. This Machiavellian reneging would not only affect my fellow co-religionists and myself, but many Protestants, Jews, Muslims, and anyone else who objects to these measures. It renders people of faith as second-class citizens. This measure ignores the contributions people of faith have made to the welfare of this country, and humanity at large. It is like a body making war against its heart. Surely even those who profess no creed can understand that it is, at the very least, a deep psychological torture on someone when you compel them to violate the dictates of conscience. Its my hope that religious freedom and tolerance will be in vogue once again. Until then, Ill just try to keep my head on.

RELATIONSHIPS

hether you dated him or it was just a fling, you broke up, whether you liked it or not. And it seems like most breakups go the same way: you swear youll be friends and that not even your split or all the hard feelings associated with it will get in the way of that. Often, these friendships dissolve or fail to launch altogether because they arent friendships we really want or even care to maintain, and we dont seem to mind. Its important not to feel obligated to make a friendship out of a broken relationship. If you dont want to be friends with your ex, dont suggest it. Being friends post-breakup is a never a requirement. But some people are actually worth having around, our exes included. When a guy I was dating unexpectedly broke off our relationship in June 2010, he asked if we would still be friends. I nodded, but really doubted the chances of that even remotely happening. We werent friends before we dated. We probably wouldnt be afterward. But as it turned out, we wound up being more than friends again only six weeks later. That is, until our relationship fell apart once more a month after. That time our split was amicable. We again agreed to be friends, but after two months of what felt like me suggesting plans and him blowing them off, I finally cut the thread our so-called friendship was hanging by. Just like after our first breakup, I figured Id never see him again. I classified him as just a bygone. He was like an ex who merely existed somewhere else and was reduced to only a few memories. Despite all that though, nine months later we were sipping cocktails downtown together and reminiscing about the summer before. It was a good time, so we hung out again. And even though we shared the most dramatic relationship Ive ever been in, I love spending time with him now because Ive stopped stressing about the barriers that existed in our relationships and can finally enjoy an uncomplicated bond with him. But our friendship still has special boundaries that make it

unique from my others. When it comes to really being just friends with our exes, we must follow certain cardinal rules of having a platonic friendship with someone with whom we used to be not so platonic. CNN Living blogger Ami Angelowicz has it right when she offers some rules about being friends after a breakup. Her first rule is crucial to maintaining a solid friendship: allow a mourning period and let both hearts heal. That way, sexual tension or resentment is significantly less of a threat. When these tensions burn out, a healthy friendship is possible and may even be better than the relationship. We must understand our emotional boundaries. I love hanging out with my ex, but I make a point of keeping emotional distance, and I dont mean that to insult or criticize him. I dont rely on him when Im upset, which Angelowicz also suggests. Keep the new friendship free of emotional entanglement that could make it complicated. Finally, absolutely no hookups. Under any circumstances. Ever. Slipping here once can make it harder to resist later, and it forces the former couple to reassess the relationship. Hooking up post-breakup could cause both peoples emotional progress to relapse, which complicates what is supposed to be a simple relationship. Friends with benefits are not actually friends. Youre either dating, or youre a booty call. Breakups dont have to be the end all, be all, but that doesnt mean they can never be. There is nothing wrong with a healthy friendship after the fact. However, they are never obligatory. But with that said, we shouldnt always knock being friends postbreakup before we try it. It could wind up being better than the actual relationship.

Occupy members seem to ignore the advancements and improvements made in developing countries.

in Afghanistan and Iraq, that violence pales in comparison to the carnage of previous periods in human history. The number of armed conflicts worldwide has steadily declined since the end of the Cold War, falling by more than 60 percent. More than four-fifths of the world can now read and the number of women in government leadership around the world increased from 11 percent to 19 percent between 1997 and 2009. Technological advancements like cell phones and social media have facilitated the spread of democracy, as we saw across the Middle East last spring. Given all of this, it is clear that while the current state of the United States and the Western world is uneasy, pessimism does not accurately reflect the outlook for the rest of the worlds 6 billion people. This suggests that the most fundamental aspects of our global system are working. Specifically, individual liberty, economic freedom and democratic systems of governance have enabled the unprecedented safe and prosperous period that we now live in to occur. Occupy Wall Street calls some of these ideals into question. The worst possible scenario would be for the United States or other Western nations to bow to populist pressures and take any action that undermines their commitment to these principles. Doing so would send a signal to the world to follow suit, undermining the spread of freedom and prosperity in developing nations. That is not to say that the Occupiers dont have legitimate concerns. Growing income inequality and the decline of the middle class are troubling issues in the United States. But as spring approaches and Occupy camps once again begin to grow, it would do the Western world well to remember the ideals that made its rise possible in the first place.

Kory cArPEntEr
kcarpenter@kansan.com COLUMBIA, Mo. Fresh out of the final television timeout and holding a 69-63 lead, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor seemed stuck on the baseline near the corner, the raucous Missouri student section nearly within arms reach. With any thoughts of a productive Kansas possession dwindling by each dribble, Taylor found space on the baseline and darted for the hoop, throwing down a dunk to quiet the Tiger faithful and giving the Jayhawks an eight point lead with just under three and a half minutes to play. Unbeknownst to Kansas fans at the time or anyone watching the game, really Taylors dunk was the final bucket for the Jayhawks in Saturday nights 74-71 defeat. Missouri ended the game on an 11-0 run. We let the game get away from us, junior forward Travis Releford said. You have to give credit to them. They made big shots, but we also turned the ball over late. While Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon was finishing an old-fashioned three-point play, a layup and a free throw, as well as two highly contested 3-pointers; Kansas turned the ball over four times in the final three and a half minutes. Taylor had a chance to give Kansas a one-point lead with a pair of free throws with 42 seconds remaining, but missed both. Taylor, who played 38 minutes in the loss, was noticeably winded in the final minutes. Fatigue could be pointed to as the cause for the missed free throws, but the guard is shooting just 67.6 percent from the free-throw line this season to begin with. Taylor was one of four Jayhawks to play 29 minutes or more and one of three to play at least 35 minutes. I dont think it was fatigue, but it could have been, Kansas coach Bill Self said of the failed execution in the final minutes. We obviously made some really bad plays late. Really bad plays that just put them in position to win the game. Self didnt think the collapse down the stretch was a composure issue, but said someone who watched the game could definitely make that case. We definitely did it to ourselves, junior center Jeff Withey said. We had the lead and if we had just held onto the ball it would have been a way different outcome. They didnt, however, and Missouri picked up its second home victory over Kansas since the 20052006 season. Weve had three sets of three minutes over here that absolutely stink, Self said. And that would be right up near the top. edited by max lush

Giants take down the Patriots again

ASSocIAtED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS Take that, Brady. You too, Peyton. Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after one-upping Tom Brady and leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Sundays Super Bowl in older brother Peytons house, at that. And now Manning not only has stamped himself as the elite quarterback he claimed to be when the season began in the same class as Brady hes beaten the Patriots in two thrilling Super Bowls. The Giants (13-7), who stood 7-7 in mid-December, now own the football world, and Manning owns two Super Bowl MVP awards, the same number as Brady. Its been a wild game, a wild season, Manning said. This isnt about one person. Its about one team, a team coming together. Mannings first incompletion didnt come until 1:19 into the second quarter. At that point, it was 9-3 after Stephen Gostkowskis 29-yard field goal. The Patriots got to the Giants 11, but All-Pro DE Jason PierrePaul blocked a third-down pass. Soon after, when the Patriots had a three-and-out and Pierre-Paul blocked another throw, Belichick and offensive coordinator Bill OBrien had a quick discussion. Then OBrien, soon to take over as Penn State coach, went over to the struggling Brady. The talk must have helped. On the final series of the opening half, Brady was masterful. Starting at his four, and ignoring the last time the Patriots began a series in the shadow of the end zone, he was vintage Brady. With New Yorks vaunted pass rush disappearing, Brady went 10-for-10 for 98 yards, capping the drive that included two Patriots penalties with Woodheads four-yard TD reception with eight seconds to go in the half. Hernandez and Woodhead each had four catches on the drive that put New England ahead despite being outplayed for so much of the first 30 minutes. Brady kept firing and hitting in the third quarter, with five more completions. The Giants didnt come within shouting distance of the record-setting quarterback. He capped a 79-yard drive to open the second half with a 12-yard TD to Hernandez, but then the game turned. Again. Consecutive field goals by Lawrence Tynes of 38 and 33 yards brought New York within 17-15. Brady then threw deep for his tight end after weaving away from two pass rushers. His throw was short, and Chase Blackburn picked it off early in the fourth quarter. Manning led six comeback victories during the season and set an NFL record with 15 fourth-quarter touchdown passes. He showed that brilliance in the clutch on the winning drive. He completed five passes, including a sensational 38-yard sideline catch by Mario Manningham to open the drive. Just as Manning did four years ago when the Giants ruined New Englands perfect season, he guided them 88 yards to the decisive touchdown, which the Patriots didnt contest as Ahmad Bradshaw ran six yards with 57 seconds left. Patriots coach Bill Belichick reasoned the Giants would run the clock down and kick a short field goal, so he gambled by allowing the six points. On second down at the Patriots six and with only one timeout remaining, Belichick had his defense stand up as Bradshaw took the handoff. Bradshaw thought about stopping short of the end zone, then tumbled in untouched. I was yelling to him, Dont score, dont score, Manning said. He tried to stop, but he fell into the end zone. Brady couldnt answer in the final 57 seconds, although his desperation pass into the end zone on the final play fell just beyond the grasp of All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski. New England (15-4), winner of 10 straight since a loss to the Giants in November, was done. Brady headed off with his head bowed, holding his helmet, while around him was the wild celebration by the Giants, NFL champions for the eighth and perhaps most unlikely time. Great toughness, great faith, and great plays by a number of guys today, Manning said, deflecting some of the attention. Still, he one-upped Brady. And Peyton. It just feels good to win a Super Bowl, it doesnt matter where you are, Manning said. It was the fifth trip to a Super Bowl for Brady and Belichick, tying the record. And it looked like a successful one when they stormed back from a 9-0 deficit and led 17-9 in the third quarter. But the Giants, who reached New England territory on every possession except a kneeldown at the end of the first half, got field goals of 38 and 33 yards from Lawrence Tynes. And it looked like Tynes, who kicked them into the Super Bowl four years ago at Green Bay and again this year at San Francisco, both in overtime, would get called on again. The Giants are the first Super Bowl winner that was outscored during the regular season. They were 6-2 after that 24-20 victory at New England, then lost four straight and five of six. Coach Tom Coughlin insisted the prize was still within reach. Now the Giants are holding tight to that Vince Lombardi Trophy. What I was concerned with was these guys making their own history, Coughlin said. This is such a wonderful thing, these guys carving their own history.

super bowl ad creates conflict

ASSocIAtED PRESS
LANSING, Mich. The portrayal of a young Asian woman speaking broken English in a Super Bowl ad being run by U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra against Michigan incumbent Debbie Stabenow is bringing charges of racial insensitivity. GOP consultant Nick De Leeuw flat-out scolded the Holland Republican for the ad. Stabenow has got to go. But shame on Pete Hoekstra for that appalling new advertisement, De Leeuw wrote on his Facebook page Sunday morning. Racism and xenophobia arent any way to get things done. The nonpartisan Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote groups Michigan chapter said it was deeply disappointed by the ad, noting that the Asian-American community is a major contributor to Michigans economy. In 2010, Michigans 236,490 Asian-Americans made up 2.4 percent of the states population, up 35 percent from 2000. It is very disturbing that Mr. Hoekstras campaign chose to use harmful negative stereotypes that intrinsically encourage anti-Asian sentiment, the group said in a statement. Hoekstra campaign spokesman Paul Ciaramitaro said the ad is meant to be satirical. Hoekstras Facebook page, which by early evening was getting a barrage of criticism on the ad, snapped back that those trying to make this an issue of race demonstrates their total ignorance of job creation policies. On YouTube, the ratings buttons on the ad were disabled after it aired. Democrats talk about race when they cant defend their records, Ciaramitaro said. The U.S. economy is losing jobs to China because of Stabenows reckless spending policies. China is reaping the reward. The 30-second ad was filmed in California and never mentions China directly. It opens with the sound of a gong and shows a young Asian woman riding a bike on a narrow path lined by rice paddies. Stopping her bike, the woman smiles into the camera and says, Thank you, Michigan Senator Debbie Spenditnow. Debbie spends so much American money. You borrow more and more from us. Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you, Debbie Spenditnow.

baylor holds off oklahoma state to draw even in big 12

ASSocIAtED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. Perry Jones III had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Quincy Acy provided the go-ahead basket and a key offensive rebound down the stretch and No. 6 Baylor edged Oklahoma State 6460 on Saturday. The Cowboys (11-12, 4-6 Big 12) rallied from a nine-point deficit to take a 57-56 lead on Keiton Pages wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing with 1:42 to play. After a timeout, Acy answered at the other end with a layup set up by Pierre Jacksons drive. Acy also grabbed the rebound when Brady Heslip missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw opportunity with 6.8 seconds left, allowing Anthony Jones to hit two foul shots to close it out for Baylor (21-2, 8-2). Brian Williams scored a careerhigh 23 points for Oklahoma State, which was bidding to win backto-back home games against top10 opponents. The Cowboys had pulled off the feat back in February 1992, the only other time they had hosted consecutive games against teams ranked that high. Jackson had 16 points and Acy finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds none bigger than the ones at the end. Acy finished inside with 90 seconds left to put Baylor right back ahead after OSUs only lead of the game, and Page missed a three from the left wing at the other end. After two free throws by Heslip, Page then used a pump fake and tried to draw a foul when Quincy Miller leaped into the air, but the whistle didnt sound. The Cowboys were forced to foul, and Heslip a 95 percent foul shooter hit two more to push the lead to 62-57. Markel Brown came out of a scrum with the ball and hit a 3-pointer from the right wing get Oklahoma State within two and Heslip, who had made 23 of 24 from the foul line on the season, then had a rare miss with 6.9 seconds left. Acy bounded along the left baseline to get the rebound, and Anthony Jones foul shots closed it out with 2.8 seconds left. It was Baylors first win at Gallagher-Iba Arena since 2003, snapping an eight-game losing streak. Williams scored the first eight points of Oklahoma States 10-2 run to open the second half, and Nash finished it off by weaving through the lane for a layup that tied it at 39 with 14:55 to play. But Nash was whistled for his fourth foul on Baylors next possession, and the Cowboys didnt score again for over 5 minutes. Jackson hit a pair of three-pointers as Baylor scored the next nine points, the second one swishing through on a shot from the right wing for a 48-39 advantage with 10:20 left. Nash finally returned after spending about seven minutes on the bench and started bringing Oklahoma State back, just as he had done almost single-handedly when the Cowboys rallied from a sevenpoint deficit in the final six and a half minutes to beat No. 2 Missouri 10 days earlier. Nash had a three-point play off of a driving layup, then answered Jones putback with a jumper from the left elbow to get a 10-2 run going. Page finished it off with his goahead 3-pointer. Baylor got out to a 17-6 lead in the opening 10 minutes but couldnt pull away as the Cowboys got into foul trouble. Nash and Brown each picked up three fouls in the first half and had to head to the bench, leaving Oklahoma State with its only five remaining players whod ever logged even a minute of playing time on the court. Jean-Paul Olukemi (knee) and Philip Jurick (foot) are out with injuries, point guards Fred Gulley and Reger Dowell transferred in the middle of the season and yet another point guard Cezar Guerrero was suspended at least one game for violating team rules. The Cowboys still hung tough, pulling within six before Acys putback at the halftime buzzer put Baylor up 37-29.

Regular season concludes with rare defeat to Iowa State

ALEc tILSoN
alectilson@kansan.com A victory last weekend could have been a big mental boost for the Kansas swimming and diving team, but the season concluded in an unusual way in Ames, Iowa on Friday and Saturday. In the teams final dual meet and competition of the regular season, Kansas (5-5, 0-2) battled Iowa State down to the final event before ultimately losing, 158-142. It marked just the third time in the programs history that the team lost to Iowa State. Previously, Kansas was 24-2 against the Cyclones. On Saturday, as Kansas trailed 140-124, senior Stephanie Payne torched the rest of the field with a time of 3:16.69 in the 300-yard individual medley, the meets penultimate event. More than six seconds ahead of the next finisher, Payne gave Kansas nine critical points late in the day, but the team still trailed 136-147 going into the final event. It was, however, not the Jayhawks day. The relay team of junior Svetlana Golovchun, senior Sarah Hettenbach, junior Brook Brull and sophomore Sophiia Filatova finished second in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Iowa State claimed first place and the deciding 11 points. Junior diver Christy Cash performed well. She posted a 269.85 in the 1-meter diving event, good for second place. She went on to finish third in the 3-meter diving, but posted a season-high finish in the event. Despite a strong start by Kansas, the team could not hold off the evenly-matched Iowa State team. In the second event, the 800yard freestyle, sophomore Alison Moffit took first, junior Rebecca Swank second and sophomore Malia Johnson third. This gave Kansas 16 early points. The following event, senior Shannon Garlie took first in the 150-yard freestyle, followed closely by teammates Brull and sophomore Morgan Sharp, which gave Kansas 16 more points in just the third event. The Jayhawks returned to Lawrence and will prepare for the two remaining competitions of the season. The Big 12 Championships begin Feb. 22 in Columbia, Mo. Edited by Pat Strathman

No. 24 Gonzaga stops late surge in victory

ASSocIAtED PRESS
MALIBU, Calif. Marty Wilson knows its going to take some time for his team to regularly be among the upper echelon of the West Coast Conference. On nights such as Saturday, the first-year Pepperdine coach cant help but believe it will happen sooner rather than later. Kevin Pangos and Robert Sacre each scored 15 points, helping No. 24 Gonzaga beat Pepperdine 72-60 but not before the Waves gave the Bulldogs a scare. Gonzagas 15-point lead shrunk to two points midway through the second half before it held on to win its 22nd straight in the series. Weve told our guys that there is a thin line between the elite in our league and everyone else, Wilson said. We obviously proved that tonight. We can play with everyone in the league if were doing all the things we need to do. Were not good enough yet to take a night off or have two or three of our guys not play well and still win the game. Corbin Moore had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Joshua Lowry added 11 points for Pepperdine (8-15, 2-10), which lost for the 10th time in 11 games. Our guys are starting to understand what were trying to do move the ball and make the right decisions, Wilson said. So that was a big part of it. When you defend and get stops, you become more confident. Guy Landry Edi scored 13 points and Elias Harris added nine for Gonzaga (18-4, 8-2 West Coast Conference), which broke out of a 3-point shooting slump to go 7 of 16 from beyond the arc. Thats a great win for us, for the fact that we put a lot of emotion into that last game and we didnt win, Sacre said. It was tough, but we responded like champions. The inexperienced Waves put a rocky first few minutes behind them, shooting 53.6 percent in the second half to make a game out of it. Pepperdines last win in the series came on Jan. 18, 2002. I didnt want to end the winning streak, Edi said. We had come in here and get the win, absolutely. We couldnt lose this game.

Michigan State ends losing streak

ASSocIAtED PRESS
EAST LANSING, Mich. Draymond Green had 14 points and 16 rebounds to lead No. 9 Michigan State to a 64-54 win over No. 23 Michigan on Sunday, backing up his guarantee of a victory. The Spartans (18-5, 7-3 Big Ten) ended a three-game skid in the rivalry and moved into sole possession of second place in the conference behind third-ranked Ohio State. The Wolverines (17-7, 7-4) havent won or lost consecutive games in nearly a month. Green played, as he promised, with a sprained left knee and the senior had the best game of his career in the series. Michigans Tim Hardaway Jr. missed his first six shots and had a season-low four points. Teammate Trey Burke had made only one shot before his 3-pointer just before halftime pulled the Wolverines within eight points. Burke finished with 11 points. The Spartans took control with a 17-7 run early in the first half and pulled away with eight straight points to take a 57-40 lead with just under 3 minutes left after Brandon Wood tracked down an offensive rebound and made a 3-pointer. Michigan State outrebounded the Wolverines 40-16, including 12-3 on the offensive glass. Green matched Michigans total by himself. Keith Appling and Branden Dawson each scored 10 points and Wood added nine for the Spartans, who made 52 percent of their shots and held the Wolverines to sub-40-percent shooting. Michigans Zach Novak scored 14 points and Jordan Morgan had 11. The Spartans held Michigan scoreless for 5-plus minutes, but they were tied at 2 after making only one shot and turning the ball over four times. Michigan State started clicking on offense while the Wolverines continued to struggle, leading 19-9 midway through the first half. The Spartans made 59 percent of their shots in the first half with eight players making a shot. Michigan, meanwhile, had eight turnovers by halftime three fewer than it averages in a game and shot 39 percent. The Wolverines tried to get Hardaway going early in the second half, but he missed four shots in the opening minutes before finally making a shot with 15:26 left in the game. Michigan State built a 16-point lead with just under 13 minutes left soon after the usually composed Michigan coach John Beilein was called for a technical foul for arguing a call. A few minutes later, the Spartans bench was called for a technical. Green was the center of attention before the game, playing after being injured in a loss Tuesday night at Illinois and saying only death could have kept him off the court. The do-it-all forward guaranteed Michigan State would win Sundays game after his floating 10-footer and tip-in attempt in the final seconds of last months setback in Ann Arbor. Michigan had won three straight times in the rivalry for the first time since winning five in a row from 1996 to 1998. Green, whose previous high against Michigan was 10 points, made a fadeaway jumper and left-handed layup to restore the 10-point lead on ensuing possessions after the Wolverines cut their deficit to single digits midway through the second half.

Miami stuns Duke in overtime

ASSocIAtED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. No. 7 Duke won four national championships over the years while being driven by what Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski says was energy, effort and hunger. When the Blue Devils didnt necessarily have those things Sunday, they couldnt even beat Miami. The Hurricanes stunned Duke 78-74 in overtime, dropping the Blue Devils out of their three-way tie for first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and likely taking some of the luster off the DukeNorth Carolina game later this week. The Blue Devils couldnt handle Miamis 6-foot-10, 284-pound Reggie Johnson, who scored five of his career-high 27 points in the overtime and added a season-high 12 rebounds. But more distressing to Krzyzewski once again the Blue Devils played for too long without the all-out effort that has marked his programs rise among the nations elite. A Duke team should play with energy for 40 minutes, or 45, Krzyzewski said. Go outside right now and you look at the banners there are quite a few of them up there. They were not won without energy, without hunger, with no complacency, with people really wanting it. And weve wanted it a lot, and weve won a lot. Were supposed to play hard and with energy all the time. Those are givens. Those should be givens. Instead, the Blue Devils (19-4, 6-2) have lost two of their last three games at Cameron Indoor Stadium and have dropped multiple home games for the first time since going 15-4 there in 2006-07. Krzyzewski at the time compared his teams only home win in the past two weeks a victory over St. Johns to an AAU game because of Dukes occasional lack of intensity. Seth Curry scored 22 points and freshman Austin Rivers added 20. Mason Plumlee had 13 rebounds for Duke, which missed all six of its free throws in overtime and wound up being beaten at home by a Florida-based conference rival for the second time this season. Duke had its 45-game home winning streak snapped two weeks ago by No. 21 Florida State. The biggest emphasis for us was to protect our home court, guard Quinn Cook said. Weve got to get better. The Blue Devils had plenty of chances in the extra session. They trailed 75-74 with Cook on the line, but he missed two free throws with 27.2 seconds left. After Johnson missed two foul shots with 26.2 seconds left to give Duke another shot, Cook missed badly on a running jumper with about 15 seconds left. DeQuan Jones extended Miamis lead to 7774 with two foul shots with 12.9 seconds left. For 24 minutes, I just think we were not very good at all, Krzyzewski said. We had no energy and they did.

American League loaded at first base

t was a busy offseason in baseball, especially for the Detroit Tigers Prince Fielder and the Los Angeles Angels Albert Pujols, who recently made the transition to the American League.

He is one of the most dangerous bats in the game and is very strong defensively at first. 2012 Salary: $12 million Prince FieLDer, Detroit tigerS Designated hitter Victor Martinez is most likely out for the season, but the Tigers found a bat to bolster the lineup by signing Prince Fielder to a nineyear, $214 million deal.

He usually starts slow at the beginning of the season, but when he gets going, theres rarely a guy better in the game. He consistently drives in runs and can hit from both sides of the plate, but I think he makes the biggest difference with his glove.

COMMENTARY

last-minute loss
max rothman
mrothman@kansan.com Tyshawn Taylor carried the Jayhawks to the cusp of victory, then squashed it all. With 41.3 seconds left and his team trailing 72-71, Taylor stood at the free throw line. The yellow blur of Missouris student section boomed behind the hoop. His first shot was too long, bouncing off the back of the rim. Second attempt, same fate. With 10 seconds left and the score still 72-71, Taylor darted from the left elbow of the threepoint line toward the hoop. Missouri junior guard Michael Dixon planted his left foot, embraced Taylors contact and flew backwards onto the hardwood, drawing a charge and clinching No. 4 Missouris 74-71 victory over No. 8 Kansas (18-5, 8-2). I feel like I cost us the game, Taylor said. Thats a sucky feeling. Several Jayhawks and coach Bill Self disagreed with the referees charge call on Taylor. A charge requires two planted feet from the defender. When Dixon halted his body to defend Taylor, his right foot slightly slid across the floor. The call was one of many that upset Self and the Jayhawks, who felt they had the game won but threw it away. I was told I dont want to see the tape, Self said of the charge call. Just before Taylors missed free throws, Missouri senior guard Marcus Denmon, who finished with 29 points, connected on two deep, contested three-pointers. His heroics led Missouris 11-0 run to finish the game. He made two threes with his body turned sideways, Self said. Those are big time shots. In the first frame, Taylor scored 17; half of his teams points. When Robinson struggled to manage multiple defenders and produce with his back to the basket, Taylor relieved the Jayhawks with fearless attacks at Missouris interior and calm, accurate jump shots. Hes damn good, Self said of Taylor. He is damn good. Yet at the end of the game, Missouris pressure rattled Taylor, who turned the ball over twice in the final 1:15. We had a lead and we didnt want to play safe, but we wanted to still try to score, Taylor said. We just turned it over. With his team down three points, Taylor handed the ball to junior guard Elijah Johnson on the left side of the three-point line. Johnson dribbled to the center of the arc and pump-faked with 3.5 seconds left, his last chance at an open look. Now double-covered, Johnson hurled an off-balance shot and missed wide left. After the game, reporters flocked around a glossy-eyed Robinson. I dont want to lose anymore, he said. Edited by Caroline Kraft

kansas 71, missouri 74

oncluding the final game of the college basketball season, a David Barett song is played with a video slide-show of the tournament with the lyric that sums up the game, One shining moment youre frozen in time. The tradition is one of the best in sports. Unfortunately, Missouris 74-71 victory Saturday night also marked the beginning of the end for one of the greatest sports traditions, and one that will soon be frozen in time. Im pretty sure theyre going to miss it a lot, Missouri forward Ricardo Ratliffe said. Its probably one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball. Saturdays game proved just that. For 40 minutes of back-and-forth basketball more than half of Mizzou Arena apprehensively stood, waiting for nothing more than the clock to run out of time, and to see who would come out on top. The 15,061 people in attendance witnessed just what they had hoped college basketball at its peak. What does this mean? And in between the action that went down to the final buzzer, something unique happened. The two schools, whose hatred dates back to the Civil War finally showed the small fraction of the rivalry besides hate. Respect. There may not be much of it, but sometime during the years of legendary games, a smidgen of admiration has been born. Missouri fans avoided any distasteful signs and chants, and instead enjoyed the journey both schools were taking them on. I love the atmosphere, Kansas coach Bill Self said. So much has been made about the hatred and all that stuff. I thought tonight, and this is hard for me to say to Mizzou people, but I thought tonight that was about as good and class atmosphere there is. And the coach said he expects it to be the same in Lawrence. Self took a stern approach about the rivalry. I dont feel bad, Self said. Missouri wanted this, so why should I feel bad? It may sound harsh, but it was truthful words from the man with probably the biggest say in when the Jayhawks will play the Tigers next. But for 40 minutes Saturday, none of the off the court drama existed. Just like it had for so many years, it was just Kansas and Missouri providing basketball at its highest quality, and the fans not only understood that, they embraced it. Following Self s post game press conference, Kansas players and their families stood on the court, consoling each other. Self stood alone, watching it all. Thats when a Missouri fan approached Self, and simply thanked him for providing such great basketball. She told him, Thats the way college basketball should be played. She got that right.

Womens BaskeTBall

Late run not enough against Aggies

The Kansas womens basketball team went to College Station looking to reverse its recent blunder in conference play. In practice they focused on minimizing turnovers and adjusting to perimeter pressure, but it was those two same issues that sank the Jayhawks again. Kansas finished with 20 turnovers and shot only 38.9 percent from the field as they fell to No. 18 Texas A&M 62-51. This was Kansas third straight loss and it dropped them to 16-6 overall and 5-5 in conference play. We had a lot of turnovers at a bad time and in bad situations and they were able to score off our mistakes, senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. Thats a game that we can only have limited mistakes. The Jayhawks kept the game much closer this time, trailing by only four late in the second half. The Aggies jumped to an early 8-0 lead, but the Jayhawks battled back within three points. By halftime, they were down 32-23, but fought back to bring the game to 10 points midway through the second half. They continued their momentum and took the margin down to five points off a three pointer by foul trouble. Freshman guard sophomore guard CeCe Harper.
