Pope gelasius declares Feb. 14 st. Valentines Day, a religious celebration with a feast. its considered to be a compromise for the Roman Lupercalia festival.

Instead of buying cards, chocolates, or flowers, young men would strip naked and whip females with goat or dog skins to improve their fertility during the pagan festival Lupercalia, which occurred during mid-February. Through the years, this festival was co-opted by Christians and is now known as the modern day Valentines Day, according to the National Geographic. Todays meaning suggests a day for couples to share their affection. However, some believe showing love should not be relegated to just one day. If youre going to be with someone, they should be nice to you all the time, not just on Valentines Day, said Molly Hadfield, Leavenworth senior. A selectively special day or not, todays traditions associated with the holiday are far from the origins of St. Valentine himself. The name Valentine is derived from a pair of Christian martyrs, one executed in AD 197 and the other in AD 289 under Emperor Claudius, according to The Telegraph. Legend has it that the later Valentine fell in love with his jailers daughter and also performed forbidden marriages for soldiers sworn to celibacy.

Professors boycott publications


kelsey Cipolla
kcipolla@kansan.com
Elsevier, an academic journal company, is getting a failing grade from thousands of professors who have decided to boycott the company. Academic journals used to be published by not-for-profit organizations that wanted to provide scholars and students a way to exchange ideas at litle to no cost. Because professors would submit and review content for free, larger companies saw an opportunity to make money and took over the academic publishing industry. Now 60 to 70 percent of academic journals are published by large commercial publishers, which hasnt been good news for professors or the library, said Ada Emmett, the head of scholarly communications research for the University library system. The scholarly publishing system is in crisis, Emmett said. After years of unrest with Elsevier, one of the leading international publishers, professors reached their breaking point. In the past, articles written about research that comes from government funding have been available to everyone. However, last month several congressmen introduced the Research Works Act, which would give publishers the right to make people pay to access articles produced by taxpayer money. The congressmen had received more than 30 donations from Elsevier executives, Emmett said. Thousands of professors from all over the world have since signed their names on thecostofknowledge.com, agreeing to boycott the publisher by not submitting or reviewing articles and refusing to do editorial work. I dont think they really should exist, said Mohamed El-Hodiri, a professor of economics who is participating in the boycott. Its part of a huge rip-off, basically. Elsevier is most criminal in that respect. El-Hodiri questions the quality of the journals and fears that much of the content is edited by people who just agree with, rather than challenge, the points presented. He said that instead of allowing big name publishers to run the academic journal industry, he would like to see academic associations produce their own journals. One of El-Hodiris biggest complaints about Elsevier is that it has prevented him from accessing his own work. The company bought the rights to out-of-print journals, including one published in Italy, which contained a paper written by El-Hodiri. The company would not allow him to view his own work unless he bought back the rights. The idea in knowledge is dissemination, spreading the knowledge, not putting it in golden cages with the key in some idiots pocket, El-Hodiri said. Other scholars are not as convinced that Elsevier has done anything wrong. Seungly Oh, a doctoral student studying math from Busan, South Korea, recently submitted an article to the Elsevier published Journal of Differential Equations. He thinks most of the complaints regarding the high cost and the business practices of the company apply to most journal publishers and Elsevier should not be singled out. Im personally not participating and I doubt that many of the graduate students are, Oh said. Its mostly tenure tract professors that have the luxury to do this. Oh was conflicted about how to feel because many of the mathematics academics that he respects were decrying the company, but he knows it is critical for graduate students to get articles published in reputable journals. For us its the difference between getting a job or not, Oh said. Elsevier responded to the boycott in an open letter available on its website saying that its journal prices are lower than the competition and the company provides a variety of access options. The letter said that while the claims of the boycotters are inaccurate, the company will work to better serve the academic community and be more transparent. Regardless of whether or not people decide to participate in the boycott, Emmett thinks publicizing the problems is a significant step. I see it as a very good thing that people become aware of what theyre doing and what impact it has on the community, Emmett said. Because its not just the community of libraries, its the community of students that want to read them, the faculty that want to read them. Emmett said that the library is currently buying journals from the company as a part of a multi-year contract, but might consider not renewing the subscription if students and faculty expressed that they could do without it.

Dialogue among Lawrence tenants and landlords key


raChel salyer
rsalyer@kansan.com No working heat, oven, or garbage disposal and a cabinet that would fall off the wall. Those are just a few of the things Ryan Peters, a junior from Leawood, learned to live with last year because of complications with his lease. It honestly sucked, said Peters, who lived in the Oread neighborhood with seven roommates. We would call to get stuff fixed, theyd answer and say someone would fix it, but after two months or so we just fixed everything ourselves. Peters didnt file a complaint or sue when he didnt get his security deposit back, but wishes he would have done a more thorough investigation of his landlord. I didnt have the time to file anything and I doubt it wouldve been worth it, Peters said. But I wish I wouldve talked to the tenants who had the landlord before or something to know what I was getting into. One way to assess a potential landlord or property management service is to look up legal incidents they have been involved in. Steve Allton, attorney at Legal Services for Students, said it is not uncommon in Lawrence for tenants to sue to get their security deposit back or for landlords to sue for eviction. Allton said the best way for both parties to avoid court is communication. We want students to communicate with us when there is a problem, Allton said. That way, they arent in it alone, but ultimately communicating with your landlord and allowing your landlord to communicate with you usually allows you to work something out outside of court. Robert Farha, owner of The Wagon Wheel and Crimson Properties, said as a landlord he tries to keep in mind that he was a college student once, and that most students are first time renters. On the flip side of that though, I do want my tenants to treat it as their own home, Farha said. I dont want to keep anyones deposit, but if things arent left how they were in the beginning, I dont have much of a choice. Farha has managed properties since 1999 and has never been to court. He said the best way to avoid court is by understanding what is expected from both parties. I want tenants to read their lease, have their parents read it, and understand what is in the contract. Farha said. Then, I

However, this legend is an embellishment, according to Steven Epstein, a history professor at the University. There was a St. Valentine, but he had nothing to do with hearts, flowers, chocolates or romance, said Epstein. He was a Christian martyr. Nevertheless, the Catholic church declared their own day of feast to coincide with Lupercalia in honor of St. Valentine on February

14. Love notes became associated with the day during the 18th century, and in 1913, Hallmark rolled out its first line of Valentines Day cards. In the 1980s, the diamond industry began marketing its products as part of the holiday. By 2009, the holiday brought in 14.7 billion dollars in retail sales. Will Nash, a freshman from Leawood, plans to send his girlfriend a bouquet of roses and take her out to dinner. Valentines Day is a day when you can express emotions in a creative way that also gives you an

excuse to buy gifts for your significant other, Nash said. However, Hadfield, who is single, does not plan on doing anything special. For other singles, Hadfield encourages them to be content rather than refer to it as Singles Awareness Day. I just feel like theyre calling attention to themselves, Hadfield said. Its nice if you want to celebrate it with someone, but its not needed. Edited by Bre Roach

want them to tell me when theres a problem and itll get fixed in a timely way. I want to know if they cant make rent, so we can talk about it. Leaving me to guess is how problems occur, and I dont want to go to court anymore than the tenant does. Peters said he pays better attention to whom he is renting from now. I will try and ask around, Peters said. Talking to the current tenants without the landlord helps, and so far I havent had problem with where Im at now, and I hope I wont have to go through a bad experience like that again.

Midwest Property Management has been sued 12 times since 2004. Of those cases, 10 cases were dismissed or disposed, which could have been for various reasons, including settlement or the plaintiffs decision to drop charges. Midwest won one case, a tenant won another of the cases, and one case is pending. The Douglas County Courthouse did not have any records on file of Midwest suing a tenant. Midwest declined to comment. Jayhawk Property Management has been sued five times since 2002. All of those cases were dismissed or disposed. It currently has three cases pending, in which tenants are being sued, but no records were on file showing it had previously sued tenants. Jayhawk Property Management declined to comment. Fairfield Lawrence Exchange, which owns The Connection, has sued tenants 37 times since 2010. Of those cases, 15 were dismissed or disposed and the remaining 22 cases were in the companys favor due to a default or uncontested judgment, meaning the defendant in the lawsuit did not respond to the complaint within the allotted time. The Connection declined to comment. BVP Legends LLC, which owns Legends Place, has sued 16 tenants since 2008.

Riots break out in Greece after bailout terms approved


AthENS Firefighters doused smoldering buildings and cleanup crews swept rubble from the streets of central Athens on Monday following a night of rioting during which lawmakers approved harsh new austerity measures demanded by bailout creditors to save the nation from bankruptcy. Police said rioters destroyed or damaged more than 110 buildings, of which 50 were burned. They included nine listed as national heritage buildings, mostly in the neoclassical style, while 30 stores were looted. The stench of tear gas still hung in the air on Monday, choking passersby, while traffic lights at many major intersections were out after being smashed. The Athens municipality said cleanup crews had gathered an estimated 40 tons of broken marble and rocks from the streets of the center, while railings, drainage covers and paving stones from sidewalks

Israeli Prime Minister links Iran to car bombings in India


NEw DELhI Assailants targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia in near-simultaneous strikes Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed on archenemy Iran, and its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah. Iran denied responsibility for the attacks. The bombs, which wounded four people, threatened to ratchet up already high tensions between Iran, which has been accused of developing a nuclear weapons program, and Israel, which says such a program would be an existential threat to the Jewish state. Tehran already has accused Israel of covert attacks on its nuclear program, including assassinations of top nuclear officials and scientists. The attacks Monday appeared to have been carried out with sticky bombs attached to cars by magnets. Similar weapons were used against Irans nuclear scientists, feeding suspicions that the new bombings were a retaliation crafted to mirror those attacks.

Firefighters spray burning buildings in Athens on Monday. Rioters destroyed and damaged several buildings in response to new austerity measures. also suffered extensive damage. More than 170 people were hurt in the rioting which also broke out in other Greek cities. Authorities said 109 police needed medical care after being injured by gasoline bombs, rocks and other objects hurled at them, while at least 70 protesters were hospitalized.

Chavez to face new opponent in October re-elections


cARAcAS, Venezuela Venezuelan presidential candidate Henrique Capriles is calling for balanced elections and criticizing the use of government money and slanted coverage in state media as President Hugo Chavez seeks re-election. The winner of Sundays opposition primary vote is also criticizing Capriles Chavezs economic policies, saying his expropriations of companies have been a failure.
Capriles warned that newly stiffened price controls wont work and that affected items such as deodorant will become scarce. Capriles said at a news conference Monday that after the vote, Venezuela woke up with a new political reality. The 39-year-old opposition candidate is governor of Miranda state and will face Chavez in an Oct. 7 election. Opposition election chief Teresa Albanes announced the preliminary results, saying that Capriles won about 62 percent of the vote, beating Zulia state Gov. Pablo Perez by a margin of more than 30 percentage points. Chavezs opponents lined up to vote in many areas, surpassing most expectations with a turnout of about 2.9 million ballots cast out of Venezuelas 18 million registered voters. Capriles had been the front-runner in pre-election polls among five contenders, presenting a younger, energetic alternative to the 57-yearold Chavez, who has recently battled cancer. Hes going to be the candidate who can get us out of this giant hole were stuck in, said Carmen Gloria Padilla, a 66-year-old telephone company employee who voted for him.

Blizzard leaves Eastern Romanians in state of emergency


bUchARESt, Romania Military planes and police helicopters flew in tons of emergency food to snowbound villages and ships in the Balkans on Monday, after blizzards so fierce that some people had to cut tunnels through 15 feet of snow to get out of their homes. Since the end of January, Eastern Europe has been pummeled by a record-breaking cold snap and the heaviest snowfall in recent memory. Hundreds of people, many of them homeless, have died in the bitter cold and tens of thousands have
been trapped by blocked roads inside homes with little heat. Authorities declared a state of emergency Monday in eastern Romania, where 6,000 people have been cut off for days. About a dozen major roads were closed, 300 trains canceled and more than 1,000 schools shut down. In addition to the flights, the defense ministry also sent 8,000 soldiers out clearing roads across Romania and helping those trapped by the overwhelming snow. Scores of flights across the region were canceled. The airport in the southern Romanian city of Craiova was closed after a plane carrying 48 people skidded during takeoff Monday and landed in a pile of snow, breaking its propellers. President Traian Basescu tried to assure Romanians the country has enough energy supplies to prevent shortages but said the government was deciding whether to stop exporting energy, which national energy company Transelectrica wants to do.

TRANSPORTATION

Bus route changes will aid students


ELISE REUtER
ereuter@kansan.com Members of Student Senate and the KU Transit Commission are discussing several changes to make existing bus routes more efficient, as well as proposing two new bus routes for KU students. The new routes would travel a loop that passes through Clinton Parkway near the Legends Apartment Complex, and goes to Daisy Hill. The proposed route 19 would be a means of bringing students on campus for their classes during the day. The other would be a SafeBus route at night to reduce driving under the influence. The costs for the proposed changes would be covered by an increase of $2.50 to student fees, with the support of the City of Lawrence to help keep the costs down. While the proposals have not been verified yet, three public hearings will be held by the University and the city of Lawrence to get public opinion on the proposed changes. The meetings will be held this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at various locations in Lawrence. Over the year, a lot of people have been asking about it [a bus route to Legends Apartments]. We looked into it, but it was always very costly. Since then, weve been looking at how we can make it possible, said KU Parking and Transit Transportation Coordinator Casey Briner. More than 2,500 students live along the proposed route, according to Briner. The route passes several other apartment complexes including the Grove and Parkway Commons. Some of these complexes have their own shuttle system, including the Legends apartment complex, though students still expressed that the new bus route could be useful. Ive heard people complain that the wait between buses is so long that it [the Legends bus system] is not functional. If you miss a bus, you might miss class, because its a 30 minute wait between buses, said Emily Shapker, a junior from Kansas City. I really like the SafeRide bus idea too; Legends is so far away from Mass Street that everyone there pretty much drives. So hopefully it will prevent drunk driving. Several smaller changes to the bus system were also proposed. For students living on Daisy Hill, the red and yellow SafeBuses will be staggered at 10-minute intervals instead of the usual 20 minutes. The green SafeBus route will also be changed; it will go straight to downtown Lawrence without stopping at Daisy Hill. Routes 32 and 36 will also combine to make a U-shaped route, and the southern portion of route 32 will be removed. Route 30X will also be removed because of low ridership. Students who rode route 30X can still take routes 10 and 30 to get to campus. Maps of all of the proposed bus route changes can be found at Lawrencetransit.org. Edited by Gabrielle Schock

Adele, Houston focus of show


MCCLaTChy TribuNe
CHICAGO The Grammys cast aside their celebratory vibe Sunday to pay tribute to singer Whitney Houston, whose death over the weekend hung heavy over the 54th annual awards show. Until Saturday, the preshow drama had focused on Adele and how the sixtime-nominee would fare in Adele her first public p e r for m an c e since canceling a tour and having surgery on her vocal cords. A glowing Adele did not disappoint, nor was she disappointed. She won six Grammys, including the Big Three: song and record of the year for Rolling in the Deep, and album of the year for 21. Earlier in the night, she thanked the doctors who brought my voice back. Her voice sounded a touch raspy at points, but her resolve surged as she powered through Rolling in the Deep. Without much more than a few hand gestures and a couple of shy smiles, she commanded the screen like few performers during the 3-hour nationally televised broadcast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A great song and a great voice will do that for you. She described her winning album 21 as being about something everyones been through ... which is a rubbish relationship, and that universality translated to the years biggest-selling and now most-acclaimed recording. Houstons death in a Los Angeles hotel room Saturday put the Grammys into scramble mode, as they altered the telecast schedule and devised an appropriate tribute to the pop icon. Weve had a death in our family, host LL Cool J said. He offered a prayer for a woman we loved, for a fallen sister. Jennifer Hudson performed a stark version of the Dolly Parton song that Houston made her own, I Will Always Love You, on The Bodyguard soundtrack. Hudson, one of countless singers influenced by Houstons popgospel sound, played it straight and true, pushing her voice hard in the final turn, the slight cracking exposing the intensity of emotion that underlined this annual music-industry gathering. Theres a little bit of a dark cloud ... a lot of people are heartbroken, country singer Miranda Lambert said before the telecast. But we can let music heal us. Bruce Springsteen came not to heal but to incite. He kicked open the telecast with a song that rocked the building, brought a clapping Paul McCartney out of his seat and expressed no small measure of discontent in an election year. Wheres the promise from sea to shining sea? Springsteen sang on We Take Care of Our Own, from his forthcoming album. He was backed up by an orchestra, but the sound that came through was clanging guitars and thundering Max Weinberg drums. The telecast was rife with curious decisions. Chris Brown, who only three years ago backed out of the Grammys amid a criminal proceeding involving an assault on the singer Rihanna, scored multiple appearances. Yet the Grammys made only passing mentions to the late Soul Train founder Don Cornelius and jazz-poet Gil Scott-Heron.

AWARDS

Inevitable Grammy goofs


MCCLaTChy TribuNe
LOS ANGELES The Grammy Awards: What would the ceremony be without its weird moments, its awkward collaborations or puzzling choices? Here are six of the most notable of the evenings slip-ups, gaffes and other I dont get it moments: 1. The Recording Academy did a tremendous job responding to the sudden death of former pop titan Whitney Houston, arranging a gorgeously simple tribute from Jennifer Hudson. But nobody couldve predicted the awkwardness of the ceremonys opening line. Gearing up to perform We Take Care of Our Own, Bruce Springsteen asked the crowd, Anyone alive out there? 2. The Foo Fighters, the traditionalist guitar rockers led by Dave Grohl, mustve been on sale when the Grammys were budgeting Sundays performance schedule. The band was omnipresent at the show, from playing in the parking lot outside maybe theyd torn up too much of the furniture inside already to inexplicably joining the late-hour dance-music collaboration with Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, DeadMau5 and David Guetta. 3. Whats an award show without Kanye West? He won for best rap performance for his Otis collaboration with Jay-Z

bon iver reaches wide audience with music

LoS ANGELES Wisconsin-bred band Bon Iver, the indie folk project founded by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, was named best new artist at the 54th Grammy Awards, besting crowd favorite Nicki Minaj as well as a diverse set of performers from electronica, rap and country music. Vernon first gained attention for his 2007 debut, For Emma, Forever Ago, recorded in isolation in rural Wisconsin and filled with soaring vocal harmonies. Between his debut and his self-titled second album released last year, Vernon collaborated with kanye West, a move that introduced his name to a much wider audience. The Chicago hip-hop artist uses Vernons voice on the first track of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and closes the album with a song based on Bon Ivers Woods. Bon Ivers second record, with each song based on a real or imaginary place, opened up his sound to softrock influences, as well as synths, horns and other instrumentation that veered away from his folk roots. It was also nominated, and won, for best alternative music album, counting as one of Vernons four Grammy nods this year. This years crop for best new artist is heavier on hip-hop than it has been in the last few years, and was

also notable for the inclusion of upand-coming dance titan Skrillex. Past notable winners of the best new artist award in the last decade include Amy Winehouse, Adele, Carrie underwood and John Legend.
McClatchy Tribune

and also took the best rap album in the pre-telecast for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but the Chicago spitfire was nowhere to be seen. The innovative Kanye thrives on excitement and unpredictability. And with the recently recovered, wholly genial Adele set to take all her awards, it was the kind of odds lockdown that makes betting, or chest-beating, a moot point. 4. Chris Brown: Are we ready to embrace him so full-heartedly? Three years after assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, Brown was embraced by the academy, which invited him to perform his own music on top of some sort of Cubist contraption seemingly designed by Atari. Then later on, he leads the aforementioned dance party that showed rich people what the Coachella dance tent has been like for the last several years. We have to say that Rihanna wouldve been the better choice to lead that number; her music has

tracked bigger with dance crowds from the start. 5. Praise for Rihanna aside, we cant totally let her off the hook for one of the nights most plodding medleys. We Found Love dribbled into a Coldplay acoustic puddle a serious downtick in momentum. If only theyd flipped the order and saved Rihannas slick jam for last. Regardless of who started, the set behind both performers was a torrent of images seemingly ripped from someones crashing iPhone, an onslaught of multicolor slashes and glowing auras. 6. Nicki Minajs performance Catholic nightmare overload or inspired frightfest? Wait, notice how those two things arent that different? It might take us years to process all the ideas at work in Minajs performance, and while we applaud her for presenting them all with gusto, it seemed a case of too much, too late.

THANK YOU

on Paul has had more success on the voting trail than some expected particularly among young voters. But what is it about Ron Paul that attracts so many young voters? His stance on marijuana legalization? His plan to cut $1 trillion in spending from the federal budget in his first year as president? While those policies have found traction with some, the most popular policy among young people, by far, has been his foreign policy. According to Pauls book Liberty Defined, his foreign policy seeks to conserve public resources and avoid using force against other nations.

Also, in a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, it was concluded that younger generations are more likely to favor multilateralism over unilateralism and the use of diplomacy, rather than relying on military strength, to ensure peace. This means young voters believe that rather than using force, we should politically and peacefully gain influence in the world. Paul is the only current candidate challenging the status quo of Washington politics, which has attracted many young voters. While Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have much support on the national level, they dont have the same support of young voters as

We know that it appeals to young voters, and we can see why. Take a look at this policy, and find the parts that appeal to the youth. Try and work those parts into your existing scheme, and success will come with it.

Population growth has far reaching effects


L
Demographic changes around the world will have long and short term consequences unique to our time period
developing regions. Take for example the Middle East, where much of the worlds conflict and change is currently occurring. Estimates from Foreign Affairs magazine show that more than 65 percent of the Arab worlds population is less than 30. Alone, this wouldnt be an issue, but the same region has some of the highest youth unemployment rates in the worldas elevated as 75% in countries like Algeria. This is the result of weak educational systems, poor government institutions and an exploding youth population. There simply arent enough jobs for everyone who wants one. As the old adage goes, idle hands can be the devils workshop. Many of these unemployed youth are drawn to crime, violence and in rare cases, radical strains of Islam that produce terrorists intent on waging war against the modern world. The tragic consequences of this particular demographic problem are painfully evident in places like Bagdad, Kabul and New York City. Of course, it would be remiss to paint changing populations as an entirely negative phenomenon. Those same unemployed youth in the Middle East brought about a wave of uprisings across the region that toppled dictators and spread democracy. For better or worse, population changes will continue to drive world events throughout the coming century. By 2100, the UN estimates that more than 10 billion people will inhabit the earth. Despite the inevitable tension this growth will create, it is estimated that the global economy will continue to grow at a faster rate than population. This good news means that come around 2025, the the worlds eight billionth child will be born into better circumstances than number seven billion.

mrothman@kansan.com He almost did it again. In the final minute of Monday nights game at Kansas State, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor missed two free throws and traveled. In the final minutes on Feb. 4 at Missouri, he missed two free throws and was called for a charging foul. The difference? The Jayhawks won this time, edging the Wildcats 59-53 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan. It crossed my mind a few times, Taylor said of the similarities between the rivalry games. I was trying not to think about it. Junior center Jeff Withey starred for the third consecutive game, falling just one block shy of a tripledouble. But when Withey cooled off and Kansas State took a 37-36 lead with 11:49 left, Taylor hit two consecutive three-point shots and keyed an 11-0 run. That gave us a little bit of a cushion, Self said. Ty made some great plays. He made some plays that werent so great, but certainly those were huge at that moment, Self said of the three-point shots. Even with a fairly comfortable lead and Self s guidance to do nothing but waste away the rest of the shot clock, Taylor found a way to create points. Usually this portion of the game, a time to secure, not attack, stalls even the best guards in the nation. When the Jayhawks led 51-44 with only three and a half minutes left, Taylor dribbled the shot clock down to its final few seconds, shook his defender with a cross-over, drove to the hoop, nearly tripped himself, but lobbed a pass to an airborne Withey who laid it in for two points. Tyshawn has been unbelievable in conference play. Unbelievable, Self said. Arguably as good a player in our league. Just as he did at Missouri, when he nearly carried the Jayhawks to a victory, then unraveled in the closing minutes, he struggled at the end of Monday nights Sunflower Showdown. But Taylor won this

time and he breathed easy after the game knowing that fact. When the game was already decided but the clock had yet to run out, a Wildcats fan screamed at Taylor and reminded him of his failures at Missouri. Taylor heard the fan, turned around, held up the front of his jersey and flaunted Kansas on his chest. They had their time to talk to me when I was warming up and during the game, Taylor said. So I figured that I had my time to talk to them a little bit after the game. edited by Jeff Karr

Thomas Robinson, junior forward
Even though Robinson played tough on the glass, Kansas has come to expect more from Robinson then the 10 points he put up against rival Kansas State. In big games, the cream of the crop is expected to rise to the top, and Monday night in Manhattan, Robinson blended too much into the crowd.

Kansas allowed the Wildcats to score only two fast break points all game. Kansas State outrebounded the Jayhawks by six boards.

Jayhawks have a strong finish in Louisiana


sara Kruger
skruger@kansan.com The Jayhawk softball team finished 3-2 at the Southeastern Lion Classic last weekend. The team lost to Tennessee-Martin and Troy in consecutive games on Friday, but won the last three Saturday and Sunday. The Jayhawks opened the weekend with a 6-4 loss against Tennessee-Martin after a rain Ingle delay. We were going to Louisiana thinking the weather was going to be nice, said senior Marissa Ingle. The other teams said we brought down the bad weather. Ingle was the last to bat in the five-run rally, which ended in a 8-7 loss against Troy Friday night. The Jayhawks were on the board first thanks to senior Liz Kocons ground rule double to center field with two on base in the bottom of the first. However, the Trojans pulled away with a 8-2 lead in the top of the sixth. A double play by Kansas middle infield, Mariah Montgomery and Ashley Spencer, held Troy in the top of the seventh and set up the team for a potential comeback. The Jayhawks ended the day with two losses. We went into Saturday not worrying about Friday, working on getting wins for the rest of the weekend, which is what we did. High winds and 40-degree temperatures controlled the day two opener. After scoring seven in the forth, the five-run inning rule was applied against the tournaments host, Southeastern Louisiana. With 10 runs in the last three innings, Kansas won their first game of 2012 11-0. Freshman Alicia Pille struck out eight times and walked three in her first career victory. Kocon went 2-for-2 and had three RBIs in three straight games, surpassing former Jayhawk Shannon Stanwix for third all-time career RBIs at KU with 108. After the weekend she needs eight more to become the all-time leader. It would be an honor, Kocon said. But to me its about scoring runs and winning games and getting that much closer to regionals. Junior transfer Morgan Druhan lead the Jayhawks to a 5-3 win over Jackson State to finish day two of the tournament. Druhan pitched a complete game of 129 pitches. She struck out seven, walked four and allowed only three hits. Kocon had another multi-RBI game, bringing her two RBIs Druhan closer to the Kansas record with 10 total RBIs in the tournament. To me that was the coldest game I have ever played and she handled it like a champ, freshman starter Alicia Pille said. She just went out there and did her job and I think that is why we beat them was because we handled the cold better than they did. Pille had 13 strike outs for Pille a shutout leading the team to a 1-0 victory against Northern Colorado, Sunday. It was an absolutely outstanding performance for a freshman or any player, said Ingle. Our at-bats werent as strong as they could be but she saved us on the mound. In the third start of her career, Pille broke former Jayhawk Val Georges record of 12 strike outs in 2009 against Cal. Its pretty exciting, she said. I didnt know until I read an article online, and I dont know if my teammates even know yet. Maggie Hull had two doubles and went 2-for-2, and freshman third baseman Chanin Naudin hit a flawless 3-for-3. Naudin had a single to move Cassen Salamone into scoring position and Maggie Hull sent her home with a line drive down right fleld scoring the only run of the game. The Jayhawks will play in the Charlotte Classic this weekend in Charlotte, N.C. Kocon said she plans on staying relaxed and doing anything she can do to get runners in scoring position.

Tevin shaw signs on to Jayhawks 2012 roster


Charlie Weis and the Kansas football coaching staff arent done yet. they added New Jersey running back tevin Shaw to their 2012 recruiting class. Shaw signed with the Jayhawks over offers from Maryland, Iowa and Penn State. With Shaw, Kansas has signed 18 players in the february recruiting period, bringing Weis first class to 21 athletes including three transfers. the 511 190-pound running back led Piscataway High School to a second straight state championship this season, running for 1,596 yards and 24 touchdowns.

Syracuse continues on journey to big East title


assocIaTed press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim preferred to look on the bright side despite all his teams problems. Senior leaders Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph struggled. The Orange missed shot after shot. Only C.J. Fair had an answer against with Louisville, which was poised for an upset. Our defense was getting crucial stops when we needed them, Fair said. And, defense wins games. Championships, too. Fair scored 13 points and No. 2 Syracuse scored the final six points of the game to beat the 19th-ranked Cardinals 52-51 on Monday night, snapping a sevengame losing streak against Louisville in a game that reminded Boeheim of the NCAA tournament. Youre going to get in games like this in the tournament. I dont care who you are. Youve got to be ready to be able to make those plays at the end of games, Boeheim said. If they make a play, hit one shot, the end, we lose. In the tournament, you go home and youre going to play teams like Louisville and teams just as good or better. Syracuse (26-1, 13-1) is on a roll toward a Big East title and hopes to play for a national championship in April. The Orange proved in this one they could grind out a possession-bypossession battle. You can either give the defenses credit or say it was a bad offensive game, Boeheim said. Were going to look on the bright side and say it was a real defensive struggle tonight. Louisville (20-6, 8-5) rallied with a 15-2 run to take a 51-46 lead, but the Orange held the Cardinals without a point over the final 3 minutes and Fair hit the go-ahead layup with 2:11 left. It was a defensive battle and they came up with the plays at the end, Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. Im very, very disappointed that we lost the game. Fab Melo scored 11 points and the best shooting team in the Big East overcame a 34.4 percent effort, including 1 of 15 from 3-point range, to win for the sixth straight time since losing at Notre Dame. Jardine missed all eight of his shots and Joseph, Syracuses leading scorer, struggled with foul trouble, while Cardinals forward Kyle Kuric went 1 for 8 from the field, including 1 for 6 from 3-point range. I dont put my head down because I know Im reliable to make a tough basket at any given time, Jardine said. And thats the same as the other two guards and thats what happened tonight. The Orange came in shooting 48.1 this season, while the Cardinals defensive field goal percentage was fourth-best in the nation at 37.2. Neither team could reach that mark against the others zone looks. Freshman Chane Behanan had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Cardinals, who had won six straight conference games. It was a whiteout at the KFC Yum! Center with 22,738 fans wearing white and Pitino donning his cream-colored suit with a red tie, but it was far from a shootout with both sides struggling from the field. Brandon Triche scored eight points, while Dion Waiters and Joseph added seven each for the Orange. Triche hit a jumper Syracuses first field goal outside the paint in the second half and only second of the game Melo hit two free throws and Fair added a layup to give Syracuse a 52-51 lead with 2:11 left. A game like this, going down to the last shot, its a game that were definitely going to use, Triche said. Louisville guard Chris Smith finished with 10 points, while Gorgui Dieng had 10 rebounds and five turnovers, including a costly one late for the Cardinals, who shot 34.7 percent from the field and went 12 of 21 from the free-throw line. Dieng committed a turnover instead of trying a 15-foot jumper, throwing it away and Smith missed a reverse layup with 57 seconds left. Plays like Gorgui not shooting that shot, that bothers me because we work on that every single day for 45 minutes. I dont care if our guys miss shots, Pitino said. When theyre open, theyve got to shoot the ball. That kind of thing irks the hell out of me. Waiters missed a layup with 30 seconds left, giving LouisassocIaTed press ville a chance at the last shot, Syracuses fab Melo, right, attempts to block the shot of louisvilles Chane behabut Dieng couldnt handle a nana during the first half of their NCaa college basketball game, Monday, feb. 13, pass from Peyton Siva in the 2012, in louisville, Ky. paint and Waiters stole it after it bounced off Triche. 7:31 to play before Behanan hit one beyond the arc in the I just made the wrong deci- sparked a 15-2 run. right corner for Louisville, and sion, Siva said.

huskies winning streak continues in oklahoma


NoRMaN, okla. tiffany Hayes scored 23 points, bria Hartley added 20 and No. 2 Connecticut beat oklahoma 73-55 on Monday night for its 12th straight victory. the Huskies (24-2) never trailed on their way to moving to 10-0 all-time in the series, which is becoming an annual tradition around Valentines Day. Kaleena Mosqueda-lewis and Stefanie Dolson contributed 10 points apiece, and Connecticut built a commanding lead in the first 7 minutes before withstanding a series of rallies by oklahoma (16-8). Whitney Hand scored 18 points while playing 40 minutes but she was the only one of the Sooners who could score with regularity against the nations top defense. oklahoma cut an early 17-point deficit to five before halftime but was never closer than seven points in the second half. aaryn Ellenberg, once the Sooners most dangerous scorer, continued a prolonged slump by missing eight of her first nine shots. She has shot 16 for 75 ( 21 percent) over the last seven games a stretch that has included two games against top-ranked baylor and this one against an even more stingy defense. the Huskies came in allowing opponents to shoot only 29.6 percent and average 44.4 points. Hayes had two layups, stealing an outlet pass in between, to spark a string of eight straight points that restored Connecticuts lead to 45-30 after oklahoma had pulled within striking distance down the stretch in the first half. after that, the Huskies merely kept the Sooners at arms length.

Mavericks pull off close victory against Clippers


assocIaTed press
DALLAS Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points, 11 in the final 6-plus minutes, Shawn Marion added 16, and the Dallas Mavericks held on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 96-92 on Monday night. Jason Terry, Vince Carter and Brendan Haywood all contributed 10 points for the Mavs, whove won 10 in a row at home against the Clippers and extended their overall winning streak to four games. Caron Butler of the Clippers scored a season-high 23 points against his former team, and Blake Griffin added 20 points. Chris Paul had 16 points and nine assists for the Clippers, but Griffins problems from the foul line cost his team as he missed seven of nine free throws. The Clippers, who completed a 4-2 road trip, havent beaten the defending NBA champs in Dallas since April 19, 2006. Dallas took control with a 7-0 fourth-quarter run capped by Marions layup with 4:48 remaining for an 86-83 edge. Griffin had a chance to get the Clippers closer, but missed five straight free throws until connecting with 2:15 to play to pull his team within two points at 86-84. Jason Kidd set up Terry for a layup with 2:02 left, and Nowitzki intercepted Griffins pass with 1:47 showing, and drained two free throws to extend Dallas edge to 90-84. Griffins three-point play with 1:24 remaining and Kenyon Martins layup with 1 minute left narrowed the Mavericks lead to 9089. Nowitzki drained a 19-footer from the right wing and, after Marion stole the ball from Martin, converted two free throws with 21.2 seconds left for a 94-89 advantage. Pauls 3-pointer with 17.8 seconds got the Clippers within two points, and Butler missed a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left. Delonte West made two free throws with 2.9 seconds remaining to seal the victory. The Clippers carried a 76-74 advantage into the final quarter. Haywood worked inside for 10 of Dallas first 22 points and the Mavs carried a 27-19 lead into the second quarter. Dallas was in front at halftime 55-47 behind 22-for-38 field-goal accuracy (58 percent). Butler, who received a championship ring from the Mavs in pregame ceremonies, got rolling early when he connected on his first three 3-point attempts in the first quarter. The Clippers ended a 10-game overall losing streak against the Mavs on Jan. 18 with a 91-89 win in Los Angeles. Chauncey Billups hit the winning 3-pointer with 1 second left. Billups is out for the season with a torn left Achilles tendon sustained in a game on Feb. 6. Paul sat out the seasons first meeting with Dallas due to a strained left hamstring. Notes: Butler was a member of the Mavericks title-winning team last season but missed the final 53 games of the regular season plus the playoffs with a ruptured right patellar tendon. Butler, signed by the Clippers in December as a free agent, made a spirited effort to get his knee healthy enough to contribute for Dallas in the playoffs and Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said before the game that Butler was very close to being active for the finals. Thats how hard he worked. ... Martin, who grew up in Dallas, played his fourth game for the Clippers since signing as a free agent on Feb. 3. ... Before the game, Carlisle called Paul the best playmaker in basketball.

Plenty of storylines for 2012 MLB season


ove over football. Your time is up. While hockey and basketball are in the middle of another captivating season, baseball is gearing up to kick off its 2012 campaign. Throughout the rest of February, teams will report to their spring training facilities in Florida or Arizona to prepare for the season. Even though spring training games wont start for another month and the season wont begin until April, its never too early to discuss the big storylines heading into the year.

a new era in MarLins BaseBaLL


Even when they won their two World Series championships, there has never been as much excitement and anticipation surrounding the Marlins. The Marlins made drastic, aggressive changes this offseason to galvanize their long-lost fans and persuade them to attend games at their new state-of-theart ballpark. Some major changes the Marlins made include their name The Florida Marlins are now known as the Miami Marlins their logo and their roster. Unlike previous offseasons, the Marlins spent lots of money on free agents. Notable pickups include Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell, Carlos Zambrano and their new manager Ozzie Guillen. The Marlins also made an aggressive push to sign Albert Pujols, but failed to do so. The National League East is ruled by the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, but the new vibe surrounding the Marlins has forced the teams in the division and the rest of the National League to be aware of the fish. last season winning their division for the first time in 29 years and advancing to the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers took a big step backwards this offseason. Three-time all-star slugger Prince Fielder left the Brewers to sign with the Detroit Tigers, and 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun reportedly failed a drug test that could have him suspended for the first 50 games of the season. Last season, Fielder and Braun accounted for 38 percent of the Brewers home runs, 33 percent of their RBIs and 25 percent of their hits. The Brewers pitching staff is still among the best in baseball, but their lineup took a huge hit. They will count on Aramis Ramirez, Nyger Morgan, Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart throughout the season, especially during Brauns suspension. However, the Brewers offense doesnt pose a threat like it did when Fielder and Braun were in the lineup. This season has the potential to be a long season for the Brewers after coming off one of their most successful seasons. edited by Max Lush

Cardinals fans can only hope 2011 World Series MVP David Freese can pick up where he left off in October and continue his success in 2012. Carlos Beltran was signed during the offseason to bolster the offense. With the addition of Beltran to complement Freese, Lance Berkman and Matt Holliday, the Cardinals offense wont significantly drop off even though Pujols will be sorely missed. Meanwhile, on paper, the Angels are a prohibitive favorite to advance to the World Series, but the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers might have something to say otherwise. Not only will Pujols strengthen the Angels offense tremendously, but C.J. Wilson will strengthen a pitching staff that had the best ERA in the American League. The pitching staff simply did not get enough run support last season. On average, the Angels scored

In a move that sent shockwaves around the sporting landscape, future hall of famer Albert Pujols decided to leave the St. Louis Cardinals and join the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The two-time World Series champion and nine-time all-star had been a fixture in the St. Louis lineup for 11 years and was recognized as one of the most dominant players during the 2000s. Coming off an incredible run to the World Series last season, the Cardinals must move on without Pujols. In his 11 seasons with the Cardinals, Pujols averaged 40 home runs and 121 RBIs. That reliable production is gone now.

COMMENTARY

winning with withey


Kory carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com An ever-zealous Bramlage Coliseum crowd and more Tyshawn Taylor highlights were no match for another episode of The Jeff Withey Show Monday night in Manhattan. The junior center had a dominant performance for the third consecutive game, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocked shots in the 59-53 Jayhawks victory. The final score portrayed just the type of contest it was for the 40 minutes of play. It was definitely a physical game, Withey said. I got hit in the face a couple times. I have a couple scratches. Its just one of those games. Whenever we play K-State we know its going to be a battle. The first half was a slugfest with the teams combining for 31 points in the first 15 minutes of action. Kansas took a 28-18 lead to the locker room, which tied the lowest first half total for the Jayhawks in Big 12 play. Withey had eight points and four rebounds at the break, which wasnt far from junior forward Thomas Robinsons five points and six rebounds. Its how Withey played in the second half, however, that left fans wowed for the third straight game. My big mans been playing amazing, Taylor said after the game, patting Withey on the chest as they both chuckled. If he keeps that up, I think were going to be tough to beat. Withey had 10 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in the second half while Kansas attempted to stifle a pair of Kansas State runs. The first Wildcat barrage tied the game at 36 points with just under 13 minutes to play. Junior guard Rodney McGruders jump shot nearly 12 minutes later cut the Jayhawks lead to four with 1:15 remaining. Senior forward Jordan Henriquez had a chance to cut the lead to two soon after as he drove to the basket, but his attempt was sent away by Withey for his eighth block of the game. Withey swatted away freshman guard Angel Rodriguezs shot on the very next possession, ending any hopes of a Kansas State comeback and leaving Withey one block shy of a triple-double. Im going to get it sooner or later, Withey said. All of this came on a night when senior forward Thomas Robinson wasnt quite himself. He missed a number of pointblank shots and seemed frustrated during many of his 33 minutes of action. Robinson finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. Its such a bonus for us because Thomas trusts him, coach Bill Self said of Withey. Those two should get better playing with each other as he continues to produce. This was a big boy game, Self said. And he had 18, 11, and nine on a night when Thomas wasnt Thomas. I thought he was just fabulous. Withey has averaged 20.3 points in his last three games after going scoreless in the 7471 defeat at Missouri on Feb. 4. For somebody thats kind of come out of left field, I dont know if I can remember anybody thats been as dominant, Self said. To go from scoreless to now, how do you win without him? edited by Christine Curtin

chilles tendon, chink in the armor, soft underbelly no matter what you want to call it, the lack of contribution from the Kansas bench is the festering wound that could spoil the Jayhawks season. This issue shoots to the surface when the Big 12 schedule calls for the Jayhawks to play multiple games in a short time span, as was the case last night when the Jayhawks played their third game in six days. Early in the second half, the Jayhawk starters wore their fatigue on their sleeves. After the starters played a combined 85 of 100 possible minutes in the first half, the Wildcats quickly erased a ten-point halftime deficit and even took a brief 37-36 lead. Entry passes fell into the awaiting arms of Kansas State defenders and the costly turnovers started adding up. On a team with more depth, the coach would send out a sparkplug player to try to re-energize the players. Bill Self doesnt have that luxury. The bench scored two points and contributed only 30 minutes to the Jayhawks victory against the Wildcats. Both of the bench points came from free throws by senior forward Conner Teahan in the waning moments of the game. But the scariest moment for the Jayhawks came after forward Thomas Robinson was called for a charge with 4:09 left to play, which brought Kansas State fans in Bramlage Coliseum to their feet. The crowd, who didnt see the replay, believed Robinson deserved an additional technical foul, which would have sent Robinson to the showers before the final buzzer. The replay clearly showed Robinson restraining himself, but the question of What if? must linger in the Jayhawks minds. What would happen if they were to lose either national player of the year candidate Robinson or junior center Jeff Withey? Neither sophomore Justin Wesley nor junior Kevin Young, the Jayhawks reserve forwards who receive the most playing time, have shown that they can handle a long stretch in crucial minutes and contribute across the court. For now, the Jayhawks get brief relief with four days to regain their legs before they take on Texas Tech this weekend. But weakness is something to be feared, as it will be most vulnerable in post-season play. When the Big 12 tournament comes around, the Jayhawks will be forced to play three games on consecutive days. And when the NCAA tournament rolls around, the Jayhawks will face increasingly tougher teams with only two days of rest between every other game. What happens then if Robinson, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor or other Jayhawk starters hit early foul trouble? Someone from the bench will be forced to step up or else spring football will arrive early to campus. edited by Christine Curtin

team members step up after Davis knee injury


ryan Mccarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com One day after Carolyn Davis left the court on a stretcher with a knee injury, it was clear that the junior forward was on the teams mind. Some players tried to hold back tears at shootaround before they went to watch film. The rest walked around with melancholy looks on their faces as they wondered how they could overcome their teammates injury. Reality just set in today when I see shes not here at practice, freshman forward Chelsea Gardner said. The reality for the Jayhawks is they wont have Davis back for the rest of this year. Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson confirmed what many speculated in a press release on Monday. Davis not only suffered a dislocated left knee, but also a torn ACL that will put the once potential All-American candidate on the sideline for the rest of the season. Davis returned to Lawrence last night and is in the hospital for further evaluation. The coaches and teammates met with Davis and said she seemed to be in good spirits. In fact, Davis was on her phone for most of Monday, sending encouraging words to teammates and even a thumbs-up and smiley face to Henrickson. Davis ability to stay strong despite her injury confirmed what Henrickson already knew about her talented post player. It speaks about her. Its who she is, Henrickson said. It speaks to the relationships when you have a family like we do and as close as we all are. Thats what we all try to do. The Jayhawks look to regroup for Wednesdays game at Iowa State, and they can start with senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who stepped up big in Davis absence with 12 points and 17 rebounds against Kansas State on Sunday. I feel like Im going to have a lot more pressure, Sutherland said. The freshmen need to step up. The team just needs to come together and rearrange our game. The freshman that will see the most minutes will be Gardner, who will move into the starting rotations five-spot. Gardner averages about seven minutes per game and 2.7 points, and she will now be stretched out and forced to defend some the best players in the Big 12. I just feel like I need to practice harder, come out and just work hard in the games, Gardner said. Gardner showed promise against Kansas State with 23 minutes of play and seven points. She also took the final shot of the game after junior guard Angel Goodrich dished her the ball on the low block. Although Gardner did not convert, the coaching staff felt like it was a sign she might be ready for

I know her teammates have confidence in her, Henrickson said. Angel wouldnt have thrown that in at the end if she wouldnt of had confidence in her. Regardless of Gardners impact, Kansas will have to rely on other players in order to achieve its postseason aspirations. Henrickson said that junior guard Monica Engelman will have to be aggressive both on the offensive end and on the glass. She also said freshman guard Natalie Knight will need to be more aggressive when she has open looks. Contributions from Engelman, Knight and other bench players will be important, but it will be up

to Goodrich and Sutherland to see how far this team can go with Davis on the sideline. I dont think the answer in this league is to go small, but maybe tweak some things and add some things to get Aishah and Angel more touches, Henrickson said. edited by Christine Curtin
