Jayhawks seek revenge in tonight’s title game

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Kansas University’s basketball team does not like to lose. Period.

But to be taken down by the same opponent twice in one season?

That’s especially distasteful to team leaders Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson, eager to take the court against Kentucky tonight in an NCAA championship game (8:23 p.m., Superdome) that’s a rematch of a 75-65 Kentucky victory on Nov. 15 in New York.

“When you play a team that beat you, you want another chance. We get another chance. It’s not like a revenge game, but it’s one of those things like, ‘We’re back ... do it again,’’’ senior point guard Taylor said. “Basically, we want to make them come out and beat us. They’re going to have to play their best game of the year.”

KU has lost to the same team twice in one season just twice in the nine-year Bill Self era.

Michigan State swept the Jayhawks during Taylor’s

freshman year. Texas topped KU twice in 2003-04, Self’s first season at KU. “It’s extra motivation. I want payback,” junior forward Robinson said. “I don’t want anyone to think they have the upper hand on me, and I’ve thought that all season about Kentucky, but I get to see them again.”

Robinson and Taylor, who combined for 33 points off 8-of-25 shooting (Taylor was 3-of-13 from the floor but 15of-17 at the line) in the first meeting, discussed the challenge during one of their

regular heart-to-heart chats while speeding from station to station on a golf cart Sunday at the Superdome.

“I just said to T-Rob, ‘They’ve got five guys who can score 20, 30 points, if any one of them gets hot, and a couple guys off the bench who can do the same thing,’” Taylor said of double-digit scorers Anthony Davis (14.4 ppg), Doron Lamb (13.5 ppg, 17 versus KU), Terrence Jones (12.4), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (11.9), Darius Miller (10.1) and Marquis Teague (9.9 ppg, 188 assists, 107 turnovers).

“On paper they should be favored,” Taylor added of the Wildcats, who are indeed 61⁄2-point favorites. “I think if you toss the ball up for 40 minutes and their five have got to play against our best five, we’re right there. On paper their record looks better, but I mean it’s only 40 minutes and none of that matters any more. There’s only 40 minutes left.”

KU played Kentucky to a 28-28 tie the first half of the game in Madison Square

Kansas underdog … on paper

KENTUCKY FORWARD ANTHONY DAVIS LISTENS TO A QUESTION during a news conference Sunday at the Superdome.

NEW ORLEANS — Cartoonists would sketch slingshots in the hands of the Kansas University players, all aimed at the giant of college basketball, Anthony Davis. He plays for Kentucky, the winningest program of all-time.

It makes for a nice story line. It also doesn’t fit anymore. It did in November, when nobody quite knew what to make of a KU team

that had lost all four starters, including two NBA lottery picks, plus a reserve chosen in the second round.

Not now. Not with Kansas feeling so confident heading into tonight’s national-title showdown in the Superdome.

Sure, Davis, to this point, has been the best player in country, as evidenced by his trophy case stuffed with

national-player-of-the-year hardware. But Thomas Robinson was next best and was the only player who was a unanimous first-team All-American choice. And he plays for the second-winningest program in history.

Las Vegas has made Kansas 61⁄2-point underdogs. On paper, it makes sense.

INCLUDING REACTION FROM COACHES AND PLAYERS PHOTOS VIDEO AND MORE

Mahan ekes out win at Houston HUMBLE, TEXAS (AP) — Hunter Mahan doesn’t dwell on bad shots anymore, and he says that’s leading to more good ones.

Mahan shot a 1-under 71 on Sunday to win the Houston Open, edging out Carl Pettersson by one stroke and becoming the first two-time champion on the tour in 2012.

The 29-year-old Mahan finished 16 under for the tournament and moved to No. 4 in the world ranking, the first time he’s ever been the highest-ranked American.

“That’s a pretty surreal thing to think about,� Mahan said. “It shows me what I can do, shows me what I’m capable of.�

Mahan feels as if he finally has the mental approach to match his physical skills. He credits Canadian sports psychologist Jim Mahan Murphy with teaching him to enjoy the game more, and that has led to better results.

“It’s easy to let your mind run wild and get down on yourself,�

Mahan said. “That’s what I used to do. I’m trying to pump myself up more and just believe in myself.�

Mahan earned his fifth career victory. He has six top25 finishes in seven starts this year, including a victory over Rory McIlroy in the final of the Match Play Championships in February. “You’ve got to enjoy this stuff,� Mahan said. “It’s kind of an honor and a pleasure to be in these tough situations. This is

Mariners rally past Royals PEORIA, ARIZ. (AP) — Back from Japan, the Seattle Mariners needed a few innings on the field to brush off the jetlag and snap out of their slumber.

Miguel Olivo and Kyle Seager hit consecutive home runs during a six-run sixth inning, and Seattle rallied past the Kansas City Royals, 6-4, Sunday in its first game since opening the regular season at Tokyo Dome.

The Mariners split two midweek games against Oakland in Japan, and their regulars hadn’t played since Thursday. Given two days to get readjusted back in the United States, players nevertheless acknowledged they were still a bit sluggish.

Munenori Kawasaki had three hits for the Mariners, who used six projected starters. He had two hits in the sixth inning alone.

Olivo’s three-run homer tied it at 4. Seager followed with his fourth home run of the spring.

Two walks later, Kawasaki singled in a run for his second hit of the inning. “In that inning, we all woke up and we started to hit,� Olivo said, adding that it felt like early morning to him. “You know, we were still feeling like we were on Japanese time. I think by (Monday) it’ll pass, hopefully.�

Mike Moustakas homered and hit a two-run double for the Royals, who played their projected opening day lineup.

Bruce Chen struck out six and walked one while allowing three hits in four shutout innings, his final tuneup before starting the season opener Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. “Bruce was dialed in. He just kind of real quickly got to midseason form,� Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “Using his fastball, changing speeds, keeping the ball down. Another good outing. He’s ready.�

Four earned runs were charged to Royals reliever Tim Collins, who got only two outs.

Alcides Escobar had three hits for Kansas City and Jeff Francoeur added two.

The Royals conclude spring training in Arizona this morning, then play the San Diego Padres in an exhibition game Tuesday night.

The new attitude got another pressurized test Sunday.

Standing on the 18th tee with a one-stroke lead, Mahan confidently hit his tee shot down the middle of the fairway, then knocked his 203-yard approach to 21 feet. He gave caddie John Wood a high-five when the ball landed safely on the green.

Pettersson (71) finished with eight pars for his second runnerup finish this year. Third-round leader Louis Oosthuizen (75) was another shot back at 14 under.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC, OF SERBIA, REACTS after defeating Andy Murray of Great Britain during the men’s singles final of the Sony Ericsson tennis tournament on Sunday in Key Biscayne, Fla. Djokovic won the match 6-1, 7-6 (4).

Djokovic beats Murray, wins third Sony title KEY BISCAYNE, FLA. — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic won his third Sony Ericsson Open title Sunday, holding every service game to beat Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6 (4).

Djokovic also won in 2007 and last year. Only six-time champion Andre Agassi won more men’s titles at Key Biscayne.

The lone break point Djokovic faced came in the fifth game, and he erased that. In the tiebreaker he lost only one service point, went ahead to stay when Murray double-faulted to make it 3-2 and closed out the victory when the Scotsman sailed his final forehand long.

Djokovic improved to 90-8 since the start of 2011. He has won five Grand Slam titles, including the past three in a row.

Now begins the clay season culminating with the French Open, the only major Djokovic has yet to win.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

UK’s Davis wins Naismith award NEW ORLEANS — Kentucky star Anthony Davis has won the Naismith Trophy for men’s college player of the year.

Davis is the first player from Kentucky to win the award and the second freshman, joining Texas’ Kevin Durant in 2007. He is the first Naismith Trophy winner from the Southeastern Conference since LSU’s Pete Maravich in 1970.

The 6-foot-10 Davis is averaging a team-high 14.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.6 blocked shots per game heading into the national championship tonight against Kansas. He also was voted the Associated Press’ Player of the Year.

The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced the Naismith winner Sunday.

Michigan State’s Draymond Green, Creighton’s Doug McDermott and Kansas’ Thomas Robinson also were up for the honor.

Washington’s Ross to go pro SEATTLE — Washington guard Terrence Ross has decided to enter the NBA Draft.

Ross averaged a team-high 16.4 points this season as Washington won the Pac-12 regularseason title and made it to the NIT semifinals.

The 6-foot-6 Ross was the only player on the team to reach 30 points, accomplishing the feat twice, and had nine games of 20-plus points.

Ross averaged 25 points in four games in the NIT before a 68-67 overtime loss to Minnesota ended the Huskies’ season.

Washington announced Ross’ decision Sunday. The school said on its men’s basketball Twitter feed that Ross plans to hire an agent.

AUTO RACING

Newman top at Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, VA. — Ryan Newman grabbed the lead when a three-wide accident took out leading teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson with two laps to go Sunday, and Newman ended a 22-race winless streak by holding on to win at Martinsville Speedway.

Gordon, who dominated all day, and Johnson seemed poised for a showdown in a greenwhite-checker finish, each eager to give Hendrick Motorsports its 200th victory.

But as the green flag flew on lap 503, Clint Bowyer sneaked inside Gordon’s car heading

into the first turn, and the three cars slid up the track as Newman zipped past.

A.J. Allmendinger finished second, followed

by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. Johnson wound up 12th and Gordon, who led for 328 laps, finished 14th.

Jordan: No plans to sell Bobcats CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Jordan says he’s 100 percent committed to the Charlotte Bobcats and has no intention of selling the struggling NBA franchise.

The Bobcats have lost 12 of their last 14 games and own the league’s worst record at 7-43, but Jordan says he isn’t ready to bail out on the team he became majority owner of in March 2010.

The New York Daily News reported Sunday that Jordan has contemplated selling if the team doesn’t turn things around — both in performance and profitability.

Yukari Kinga beat goalkeeper Hope Solo from close in to give Japan a 1-0 lead in the 32nd.

The United States created opportunities on the right wing, but Japan’s superior speed was dangerous on the counterattack.

The exhibition tournament features three of the top four teams in the world. The U.S. is ranked No. 1 just ahead of Germany, while Japan is No. 3. The other team competing for the title, Brazil, is No. 4.

The U.S. plays Brazil on Tuesday. The final game — Brazil against Japan — is Thursday.

Sporting K.C. beats Chivas, 1-0 CARSON, CALIF. — C.J. Sapong scored in the 47th minute to help Sporting Kansas City improve to 4-0 this season with a 1-0 win over Chivas USA on Sunday night.

After both teams struggled to create offense in the first half, Sporting KC got things going only 2 minutes into the second half. Midfielder Graham Zusi unleashed a shot that hit the cross bar but was able to scoop up the rebound and send it across the goalmouth to Sapong, who headed home his third goal of the season.

Sporting KC nearly doubled the lead in the 74th when Kei Kamara sent in a header that was stopped by a clutch palm save from Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.

Chivas head coach Robin Fraser then had his team aggressively push the ball, but poor finishing proved decisive and Sporting KC was able to hold on.

KU NOTEBOOK

Self wins Naismith

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Kansas University’s Bill Self was named the 2012 Naismith Men’s College Basketball Coach of the Year, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Sunday.

KU is the only school to have three Naismith winners. Larry Brown was recognized in 1988 and Roy Williams in 1997. Other finalists: Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), John Calipari (Kentucky) and Frank Haith (Missouri).

“Bill has done a remarkable coaching job this season and deserves all the accolades that come his way,” said Eric Oberman of the Atlanta Tipoff Club.

“There’s always something special about adding another chapter of Kansas Basketball to the Naismith Awards family.”

Self said: “This is a terrific honor.

When you think of postseason awards, anything that has (James) Naismith’s name in front of it is a huge award and certainly I’m very proud of this.”

Under Self, Kansas has more wins in a six-year period (197) than any program in the history of college basketball. !

Self vs. Cal: Two members of Larry Brown’s coaching tree — Self and John Calipari — will lead the teams in tonight’s national KU-Kentucky championship game. Both worked as grad assistants under Brown at KU. Calipari also worked for Jayhawk coach Ted Owens.

“I may not be able to coach very well,” Brown joked on Saturday during KU’s Final Four semifinal, “but I am able to pick assistants. Those two are great.”

Asked about KU on Sunday, Calipari said: “I saw Ted Owens as I walked out of the building for the open gym. Coach Brown was here. It was great to see those guys.

“I spent three years — one with Ted and two with coach Brown — in Kansas. I met my wife at the University of Kansas.

She worked in the business office. The game in 2008 (KU’s 75-68 overtime victory over Calipari’s Memphis Tigers in title game) was a great basketball game, one of the more exciting games.

I wish the outcome had come out a little different, but they got us.

“Bill and I have known each other. He followed me. When I left, he stepped into that (grad assistant) spot at Kansas. Fond memories, not particularly of that (KU-Memphis) game, but I enjoyed coaching in that game and had a ball.

It’s just that everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, and everything they had to do right they did. Stars and the moon lined up, all of a sudden we went to overtime.” !

Calipari on the significance of the game: “This is Kentucky and Kansas. I mean, (Adolph) Rupp and (Phog) Allen and (James) Naismith, all of them. I hate to tell you, Rupp grew up in Kansas. We stole him (at Kentucky). It should be an exciting ballgame.” !

Self on Larry Brown being in KU’s traveling party during the NCAA Tournament: “You know ... he’s unemployed. He’s got to be around ball,” Self said of the Hall of Famer. “He spends time at Villanova (with Jay Wright), Maryland (with Mark Turgeon), Kentucky. He’s been out to our place three or four weeks. Comes to practice, watches. Doesn’t come to all practices, but he’ll sit around in a film session with us, that kind of stuff.

It’s just kind of cool to have him around. I think the players like seeing him, too. I think the players, that respect factor is always there when coach Brown is around, as well.”

More on Brown: “I worked for him in 198586. He paid me good. He paid me $4400 a year to work for him,” Self said.

“But my first impression was as a coach, I wanted to be like him. I loved the way he handled players. I loved the way he thought about the game. I loved the way he taught the game. I loved the way how he was always cool under pressure. I probably learned more in that 10 months because I didn’t know anything. I was a sponge. I’m amazed at how he’s still trying to find the best way to do things. The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.

He’s always learning and trying to get better.” !

Team leadership: KU junior Elijah Johnson on point guard Tyshawn Taylor crying in the locker room after KU’s 68-61 loss to Duke in the Maui

Invitational finals. Taylor had 11 turnovers that day.

“I don’t know if he felt like he couldn’t lead us. It was frustrating for him, but I told him, ‘I don’t care. If you put every top point guard in the country in a line right now, I’m going to pick you every time to run with. So I’m playing with your mistakes. I don’t care,’’’ Johnson said. “I remember one night, me, him and Conner (Teahan) were in a room talking, and Conner told him the same thing.

Then I remember Thomas (Robinson) telling him the same thing, and I remember Jeff (Withey) told him the same thing. After a while, it just clicked. I think he was the first person on our team to make it click.

He was the first puzzle (piece) that actually was permanent, like, ‘OK, this is what it is. I’m the point guard. I’m the senior, and we’re going to play off of that.’ Then I think after he committed, I think everyone else committed shortly after that. That’s when we got rolling.”

NEW ORLEANS — Though it was nearly 2 1/2 years ago, Kansas University walk-on Jordan Juenemann still vividly recalls the practice when coach Bill Self introduced his team to the triangle-andtwo defense.

After just a few minutes of going over it, guard Tyshawn Taylor was sold.

“I remember the moment. Tyshawn was like, ‘I like this, Coach. I like this, Coach,’” Juenemann said.

“Lo and behold, look how it turned out for us.”

Without the change-up defense — from a coach who rarely strays from man-to-man — KU players and coaches acknowledged Sunday they likely wouldn’t be playing for a national championship.

In two NCAA Tournament games, KU used the set to stop opponents that had been scoring freely against KU’s man-to-man.

“There’s a lot of guys out there that as head coaches, they just say, ‘This is what we do. We’re going to stick to our principles, and if we can’t do it, doggone it, we’re going to go down with the ship,’” KU director of basketball operations Barry Hinson

said. “Thank goodness you’ve got a captain of the ship that says, ‘There’s different ways to clean fish.’

“If he doesn’t figure out Purdue, if he doesn’t figure out North Carolina, then we’re not here today. We’re absolutely not here today.”

Eighth-year assistant coach Kurtis Townsend has seen KU tinker with many zone defenses during his time at KU. The Jayhawks started working with a 3-2 zone, then a 2-3, then even a box-and-one.

After all those, KU implemented the triangleand-two in late January of 2010 — just a few days before an 81-79 victory over Kansas State.

Townsend knew KU might be on to something based on how effective the defense was against K-State. KSU guard Jacob Pullen got so tired of the defense that, when KU pulled it out in the first half of one of the games against him his senior year, he turned to the KU bench and said, “Come on, man. Really?”

The triangle-and-two was one of the zone defenses that Self had in his repertoire while coaching at Tulsa and is most effective when an opposing team has only two good outside shooters on the court.

“Coach is not a big zone guy, but his compromise is, ‘If half the guys are playing zone, and two other guys — almost half the team — is playing man, that isn’t a bad deal,’” Townsend said. “The thing is, it’s a unique defense. Teams don’t practice against it, because they don’t see it a lot.”

Many of the KU players and coaches refer to it as “Combo,” as it is actually a combination of man and zone. The signal for the defense is Self holding up a curved thumb and four curved fingers ... which makes the letter “C.” There’s some strategy involved as well.

Townsend said that KU rarely goes to the triangleand-two in the first half because it doesn’t want other teams to be able to make halftime adjustments.

At the most important time of the year, Self trusted his team with playing the set and ended up with two wins.

“Thank goodness you’ve got a guy that didn’t let his ego or his pride get in the way of making what I would consider a courageous move,” Hinson said.

“There’s not a lot of guys that would do that, and he did.”

!

Shooting: Taylor is 3-for-40 from three-point land in 14 NCAA Tourney games. He’s 0-for-20 in his career in domed stadiums, 0-14 in domes this year and 0-20 overall in the 2012 NCAAs. “I think I’m definitely due,” Taylor said. “I think the basketball gods are with me tomorrow. I got to make one. I can’t leave like this,” he added, smiling.

“No, I mean, it’s not that big of a deal, man. I think the shots I take are good looks, and they feel good coming off. If I get open, I’m going to shoot it confidently. If it goes in, that’s good. If not, we’ve shown we can win without me making threes.

Doesn’t make a difference.” !

Fieldhouse open: KU fans can watch the title game on the video board at Allen Fieldhouse tonight.

The north, south and east entrances of the fieldhouse will be open starting at 7 p.m. Members of the KU pep band, spirit squad and the mascots will be on hand.

KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON LAUGHS WITH HIS PHONE UP TO HIS EAR as he relaxes on the floor of the locker room after interviews on Sunday at the Superdome. Robinson and the Jayhawks will meet Kentucky in the NCAA title game at 8:23 tonight in New Orleans.

Garden.

The Wildcats used a 15-2 run that stretched to 24-7 to open an insurmountable 54-37 lead with 10 minutes left.

Led by Davis, who blocked seven shots, the Wildcats recorded 13 blocks, most ever by a KU opponent in a single game. Davis’ seven blocks were second-most ever by an individual against KU. Shane Battier of Duke recorded eight in a secondround NCAA victory over KU on March 19, 2000.

“He’s the best,” KU junior Withey said, tapping 6-10 freshman Davis the No. 1 big man he has gone against. “He’s going to be the No. 1 draft pick (in 2012 NBA Draft). He can run, jump, do it all. It’ll be a tough challenge. We faced him earlier in the year, and we hopefully can correct what we didn’t do against him the first time.”

Davis has 180 blocks to Withey’s 136.

“Mine is through the roof now,” Withey said of his confidence level.

Withey, who scored seven points with six boards and four blocks in 25 minutes against Kentucky, blocked seven shots in Saturday’s 64-62 Final Four semifinal win over Ohio State.

He made life miserable on All-America forward Jared Sullinger, who had 13 points off 5-of-19 shooting.

“Guys like me and Anthony Davis can make it tough on teams because we both have been able to block some shots,” Withey added.

KU’s Robinson was frustrated in the first meeting, missing seven of 12 shots. He had 12 rebounds and five fouls in 27 minutes.

That’s the game in which he committed a hard foul on Jones (15 points, seven boards), then stepped right over the 6-9 sophomore on the court. UK’s KiddGilchrist (12 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks) and Teague (12 points, six turnovers, three assists) took exception, getting in Robinson’s face over the play.

It’s possible he could be double-teamed by the Wildcats again.

“I’ve played against some big people, and I played in some tough games,” he said. “I think I’ve seen every trap, every which way they can come.

I’ve watched the tape and know what they did. I’m pretty sure Cal (coach John Calipari) has something up his sleeve to disrupt my game, but if I’m just patient, everything should work out.”

Kentucky hit 51 percent of its shots vs. KU, including seven of 15 threes and 16 of 29 free throws. KU hit 33.3 percent from the floor, four of 15 from three.

It was a day Justin Wesley (five points, five boards) played more than Kevin Young (two rebounds, two minutes). Conner Teahan had eight points, cashing two of five threes.

“Kentucky’s terrific,” Self said. “They’ve been the best team in the country basically from start to finish maybe with the exception of a week here or a week there. They’ve gotten better. They’re way beyond their years.

Although they’re young in age, they’re certainly not young with experience.

“They’re one of the better teams we’ve had in college basketball probably from a pure talent standpoint. They’ve got six pros, three of them probably lottery picks.

They’re really, really, really talented.

“But, you know, the thing about it is, I like our guys.

I think we’re talented, too.

We’ve got a guy that has kind of battled Anthony neck-and-neck for the most part for national player of the year. We got guards that can play with anybody, in my opinion. We’ve got a shot-blocker that’s hot right now. We’ve got a wing that can guard. We’ve got a lot of nice pieces too, it’s just that theirs are a little more heralded. From where we started, our path to get here was different than theirs. They’re good, really good. But the thing about it is, this time of year, one game left, who would you be playing if they weren’t really good?”

Calipari talks about KU days

KENTUCKY COACH JOHN CALIPARI RESPONDS TO A QUESTION about his thoughts on meeting Bill Self and the Jayhawks again in the national title game during a news conference Sunday in New Orleans.

Davis supreme swatter ————

Freshman big man keys Kentucky’s offense

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — His trademark unibrow might have stolen headlines at times this season, but on Sunday the most talkedabout part of Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis’ game was his ability to change games by blocking shots.

Long, lean and blessed with incredible athleticism and precise timing, the 6-foot-10, 220-pound Davis has been the difference-maker for the Wildcats during their run to tonight’s national championship game against Kansas University at 8:23 p.m. in the Superdome. Not only does Davis, the national player of the year, prevent opponents from scoring, but his blocks also spark the Wildcats’ deadly transition game.

While the Wildcats (37-2) have come to rely on Davis’ D, his ability to dominate may provide them with a less-obvious advantage that could be huge in tonight’s match-up with KU shotblocker Jeff Withey.

“We get the experience of playing against Anthony every day, so we kind of know how to go around him and how you have to shoot the ball to get it

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Yeah, they probably should,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of the Wildcats’ being portrayed as the favorites. “But I’ve never known a game to be played on paper.”

Sunday afternoon, Robinson already sported that steely eyed warrior look he brings into games.

“I think we realized a long time ago that we could play with anybody,” Robinson said.

Added Tyshawn Taylor, who is 0-for-20

NEW ORLEANS — Kentucky coach John Calipari has done a lot of things and been a lot of places during the four decades he has been a basketball coach.

From Final Fours and national championship games to NBA benches and back again, Calipari has become one of the best in the business. But a quick look at his career path shows it all began back in 1982 in Lawrence, when he was a graduate assistant with the Jayhawks.

Sunday, as Calipari took a break from preparing for tonight’s national championship tilt against Kansas, he shared his humble beginnings with members of the media.

“When Ted Owens asked me to join his staff, I said, ‘What position?’”

Calipari recalled. “He said, ‘Volunteer.’ I said, ‘How much does that guy make?’ He said, ‘You’re going to live with the assistant, Randolph Carroll, and you can work at the training table to eat. And then you’re going to help me run my camp, and I’ll pay you some camp money.’ So I said, ‘I’m going to work at the training table?’ ‘Yes, for the Sinclairs.’ So Paul Sinclair ran the training table. I would be in the line (asking) ‘Would you like peas or corn? Peas? Great.’ I served the baseball team, basketball team, football team. It was a great experience. I mean, I had no worries. I have great memories of Lawrence, Kansas.”

Missed free throws late in that one allowed Kansas to crawl back and ultimately win in overtime after Mario Chalmers’ miracle three-pointer.

Calipari said he was not worried about a repeat of that heartbreaker because this year’s team (73 percent) has been good at the free-throw line.

“We’re a terrific freethrow shooting team,” he said. “I think we were No. 1 in our league in freethrow shooting. I have no issues with that whatsoever.”

Asked if he has changed his approach to how he coaches freethrow shooting, Calipari deadpanned: “Yeah. I’ve recruited better freethrow shooters.”

It is going to be a play. Blocking it out of challenge. Both teams go bounds may get the crowd

pumped up, but the more important thing is to get my team the ball.”

Davis, who averages 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, plays a pretty important role on that end of the court as well, one that has increased and improved during the course of the season.

“I didn’t even try to score the ball in the post at the beginning of the season,” he said. “I just wasn’t comfortable. But now I want the ball. I have a lot of confidence, and I know my teammates have confidence in me.”

Kentucky senior Darius Miller said Davis’ jump hook has become almost automatic and is as much a weapon as his shotblocking now that he’s willing to use it.

“He had a great skill set at the beginning of the season,” Miller said of Davis’ offense. “But I think him being more comfortable now is the main thing.”

Points will be scored, and these two offenses — and the coaches who steer them — figure to find creative ways to neutralize the impact of Davis and Withey.

“At the end of the game, it’s not about how many blocks you have,” Davis said. “It’s how many points are on the scoreboard.”

Wildcats on T-Rob Like the 27 opponents who faced Kansas before them, the Wildcats spoke from a position of great respect when discussing KU All-American Thomas Robinson on Sunday.

“We know he’s a great player,” freshman center Anthony Davis said. “Rebounds the ball, finishes with authority. Probably one of the best players that we’re gonna face this year. It’s gonna be a great challenge for me, so I just can’t wait to play.”

Added Calipari: “We know how good Thomas Robinson is. We all know.

We went against him in New York. He is as good as they get. He’s a vicious competitor, great around the rim, expanded his game. He can make the top-of-the-key three, loves driving that thing hard left and getting to the rim. He has become a 2008 title talk One memory that isn’t better handler and passer. so pleasant for Calipari So we know how good he is his loss to Kansas in is.” the 2008 national title game as the head coach Under pressure With most national at Memphis.

Calipari said.

shooting threes this tournament while directing a team that is 5-0: “Them being the best team in the country all year, that’s good. But, I mean, it comes down to one game.”

Kansas has a healthy respect for its opponent, but the self-esteem of this team never has been higher.

“Anthony Davis is a great player, but he’s not Superman,” Robinson said. “We just have to be Kansas, do what we do best, keep being aggressive. He is a good player, but we’re not going to change anything we do.

Just stick to the program.”

When Self went through the match-ups, he didn’t sound intimidated or pessimistic. He sounded confident.

Self on Taylor vs. Marquis Teague, a 6-foot-2 freshman from Indianapolis: “Teague is explosive as anybody. That would be a great match-up with Taylor.”

On Elijah Johnson vs.

Doron Lamb, a 6-4 sophomore from Queens, N.Y.: “Great match-up. They’re similar guys. Both guys can get on a roll.”

On Travis Releford vs.

On Robinson vs. 6-9 sophomore Terrence Jones from Portland: “Heck of a match-up.”

On Withey vs. Davis, a 6-10 freshman from Chicago: “Great matchup.”

“One difficult match-up is (Darius) Miller off the bench,” Self said of the 6-8 senior from Maysville, Ky. “He can be their leading scorer. That’s something we probably can’t match. I also think this:

“I dreamed about it as soon as I saw the brackets,” Self said of the match-up. “You look at the brackets. You look at the region. You say, ‘OK, first game, who do we have to beat to get to the Sweet 16? Who is the potential match-up? How do we match up?’ You look at your region. I did look.

I said, ‘How cool would it be to play Kentucky in the finals?’”

That was on-paper talk about the individuals participating in the game, not the sum of the parts, which forms a team.

“It will be interesting, very interesting,” Self said. “I don’t think it’s about match-ups. I think it’s about team concepts, more so than match-ups.”

According to the oddsmakers, Kentucky’s 61⁄2 points better, so in a way, Kansas already is behind, and that’s when the Jayhawks play their best basketball. This game has the feel of one that will be close as the college basketball season nears its final seconds.

Kansas baseball beats Tech, wins series J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s baseball team rushed to a nine-run lead after four innings and held on for a 9-3 victory against Texas Tech in the deciding game of a three-game series Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

KU infielder Chris Manship led the Jayhawks (1215 overall, 2-4 Big 12) with a 3-for-5 outing that included a double and three RBIs. Outfielder Tucker Tharp added three hits in four at-bats.

Kansas coach Ritch Price said he was most encouraged with his team’s recent success in driving in runners while hitting with two outs.

“It keeps the momentum in your dugout; it keeps your energy level

up,” Price said. “Guys are being productive at the plate, and it leads to a better at-bat your next time up.”

That energized KU offense rocked Tech pitcher David Paiz (2-1) for five runs and four hits in 12⁄3 innings, giving him his first loss of the season.

Jayhawk starter Thomas Taylor (3-3) kept the Red Raiders scoreless through six innings before allowing two runs in the seventh. Taylor picked up the win and allowed seven hits and two runs with six strikeouts in 62⁄3 innings.

Drew Morovick pitched two scoreless innings in relief, striking out one and allowing zero hits and no walks.

Price also gave credit to his pitchers for the Jay-

hawks’ back-to-back conference wins.

“It all starts with starting pitching,” Price said.

“It’s like I just told our guys (after the game), the team that gets three quality starts is usually the team that wins a series.

We got three quality starts this weekend and found a way to win the series twoout-of-three.”

NCAA WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR

Stanford stifles Griner, but Bears advance to final Eric Gay/AP Photo

NOTRE DAME GUARD SKYLAR DIGGINS CELEBRATES victory after an NCAA Women’s Final Four semifinal against Connecticut on Sunday in Denver. Notre Dame won 83-75.

Irish knock off Huskies in OT DENVER (AP) — Notre Dame is back in the national championship thanks to Skylar Diggins’ steady leadership and Brittany Mallory’s clutch shooting.

Diggins scored 19 points, Mallory hit two big 3-pointers in overtime and the Irish beat Connecticut 83-75 on Sunday night.

The two hooked up for a game-turning play in overtime when Diggins stood her ground on a fast break, blocked the shot to prevent the Huskies from retaking the lead, then fed Mallory at the other end for her second important 3.

Notre Dame (35-3) also beat the Huskies (33-5) in the semifinals last year, ending Maya Moore’s brilliant career and the Huskies’ bid for a third straight national championship. But the Irish stumbled 48 hours later, losing to Texas A&M in the title game in Indianapolis.

Unfinished business has been their mantra all season, and now they get a chance to take care of business Tuesday night against Baylor. The Lady Bears advanced with a 5947 victory over Stanford.

Dame were tied at 67 after regulation. UConn closed with an 8-2 run that was fueled by a series of hustle plays from Kelly Faris, who had a steal and a basket and four free throws in the final 90 seconds.

The Huskies, who were led by Stefanie Dolson’s 20 points despite foul trouble, stretched their run to 11-2 when Bria Hartley opened the extra period with a three-pointer.

The Huskies had the ball again after a missed free throw but Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis fired up an off-target three-pointer early in the shot clock and UConn never recovered.

DENVER (AP) — One win from perfection.

Brittney Griner was constantly hounded and double-teamed, scoring only one basket in the second half Sunday night. So the Baylor supporting cast jumped in and carried the unbeaten Lady Bears to the national championship game.

Griner finished with 13 points and nine rebounds to lead Baylor to a 59-47 win over Stanford and into the women’s NCAA final against Notre Dame.

“We’re not the Brittney Griner show,” Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey said.

“Brittney Griner is the face of women’s basketball, and she deserves to be, but this team is bigger than Brittney. She will tell you that. Brittney Griner double- and triple-teamed allows other players on her team to have opportunities.”

Baylor (39-0) is one victory from becoming the seventh women’s team to finish undefeated and has a chance at being the first squad in NCAA history to win 40 games in a season.

The top-seeded Lady Bears will face another No. 1 seed and a familiar foe Tuesday night for the title.

The Irish beat UConn 8375 in an overtime thriller in the first semifinal.

Baylor and Notre Dame met in the preseason WNIT final, with the Lady Bears winning in Waco 94-81 on Nov. 17.

“It’s going to be a good game,” Griner said. “We beat them earlier in the season, but we’ve got to erase that. This is the game everybody wants.”

Stanford (35-2) fell short in the Final Four for the fifth straight season, ending its school-record 32-game winning streak.

STANFORD FORWARD NNEMKADI OGWUMIKE, LEFT, AND BAYLOR CENTER BRITTNEY GRINER BATTLE for a rebound during the second half of an NCAA Women’s Final Four game on Sunday in Denver. Baylor defeated Stanford, 59-47.

The Cardinal refused to let the 6-foot-8 Griner beat them, collapsing on her in the paint. The strategy worked for the first 20 minutes before the other Lady Bears started making shots.

And those players took advantage of them.

Trailing 31-29 early in the second half, the Lady Bears went on an 11-1 run keyed by Jordan Madden.

The junior guard had an acrobatic three-point play and then a layup that made it 40-32. Griner followed with her only basket of the half, hitting a tough baseline turnaround that capped the burst.

The Cardinal could only get within six the rest of the game despite Nnemkadi Ogwumike’s best efforts. The senior led the Cardinal with 22 points and nine rebounds.

Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer took her out

with about 30 seconds left and gave her a long embrace.

“No one feels good after a loss, especially if it’s in the Final Four,” Ogwumike said.

The 6-foot-2 forward, who will most likely be the top pick in the WNBA Draft on April 16, did all she could to keep the Cardinal in the game, but got little help. Her younger sister, Chiney, who had such a strong sophomore season, was ineffective.

She fouled out midway through the second half with just four points.

Baylor has been focused with the mantra of “Unfinished Business” all season long. Every player on the team is wearing a wristband with those two words on it. Mulkey said the team used the same motto the year it won its only title in 2005.

The Lady Bears had been

Stanford could easily claim that motto for itself, having matched UConn and LSU with its five-year Final Four run. But like the Lady Tigers, the Cardinal couldn’t win a title during their streak. Stanford hasn’t won a national championship since 1992.

Jayhawks floating on cloud nine Scenes from New Orleans

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

The morning after Kansas University’s 6462 victory over Ohio State University, city of Lawrence cleanup crews had erased most of the footprint left by the thousands of fans who swarmed downtown.

However, a sign taped to the door of the Jackpot, 943 Mass., on Sunday was a small reminder of the celebration.

“Opening a bit late today. Everyone has a hangover. Ha Ha.” But the celebration had no aftereffect on the patrons who filled Jock’s Nitch Sporting Goods, 837 Mass., to grab KU gear as early as 10:30 a.m. Sunday. On Saturday night, the business began selling T-shirts right after the victory and remained open until after midnight.

“It’s been insane; we can’t keep up,” said Ryan Owens, general manager.

BOB SCHUMM, at his office overlooking Massachusetts Street, has served two previous terms as mayor and is expected to be appointed to that post again on Tuesday.

A new mayor may bring a dramatically new approach to how Lawrence seeks to offer incentives to companies looking to locate or expand in Lawrence.

is slated to be elected by his fellow city commissioners on Tuesday to serve a oneyear term as mayor. Schumm was the top vote-winner in the last election and currently is the vice mayor, which puts him in line for the commission’s top spot.

In an interview with the Journal-World, Schumm said

sions about the possibility of creating a new consortium in the next several weeks.

“I know it sounds like a canned speech, but jobs have to be first and foremost on the mind of the City Commission,” Schumm said. “I think there are a lot of people who are underemployed in Lawrence and several who are unemployed. We need to move those folks upward.”

On other issues, Schumm: ! Envisions discussions about a proposed public-private partnership to build a youth fieldhouse/recreation center to remain on a fast track.

Schumm said he believes a new facility that could serve both local recreation center needs and attract youth tournaments to the city could be in place by 2013.

Schumm expressed optimism that the city and private developers could reach a financial agreement that would allow the project to move forward.

“This is a big, big opportunity for us,” Schumm said. “I think it really will put Lawrence on the map as an exciting place to visit from all over the Midwest. We’re going to get a lot of recognition out of it, and it will identify us as a first-class city.” ! Believes more comprehensive planning for downtown would be beneficial. Schumm said a plan that spells out the type of development that should occur along New Hampshire and Vermont streets may help avoid contentious debates such as the one currently surrounding a proposed multistory hotel/apartment building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. Schumm said such a plan should look at the future of city-owned surface parking lots.

“Those lots represent a lot of real estate in downtown,” Schumm said. “I could see in some cases possibly allowing buildings on top of those as long as we didn’t diminish the parking that is available.” ! Expects the city to

have significant discussions about building a new police headquarters building that would allow the entire police force to be stationed at one location.

Currently, the department is split between the downtown Law Enforcement and Judicial Center, 111 E. 11th St., and the police investigations center near Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. Schumm said he hopes to identify the cost and potential location for the facility during the next 12 months. ! Plans on hearing large amounts of public comment about possible changes to the city trash system. Schumm said he believes the city is technologically behind many communities when it comes to picking up the trash. He said the mandated use of carts may be the way to cut down on workers’ compensation claims made in the Solid Waste Department.

Schumm said a more controversial change may be mandating that all residents pay for curbside recycling services.

“But from what I’ve seen so far, the overall increase in fees looks like it could be very, very low,” Schumm said. “I think it will be quite manageable.

We need to bring our system up to where so many other communities are.”

Schumm, who owns Buffalo Bob’s Smokehouse, the Dynamite Saloon, and is a downtown landlord, will be serving his third stint as mayor. In April 1988, he was sworn in one day after the Jayhawks won the National Championship.

He served one year term in 1988-89. Then in a rare break from tradition, commissioners elected him to serve a second year as mayor from 1989-1990.

Schumm will replace Aron Cromwell, who will maintain his seat on the fivemember City Commission.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Schumm said.

“I still think it is the best job in Lawrence.”

Rec center details discussed

Downtown CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The store is currently waiting on shirts reflecting Saturday’s victory to arrive, but Owens said they already have preprinted shirts to sell if KU should beat the University of Kentucky tonight.

If Kansas loses, Owens said, the shirts must be destroyed or donated to a charity outside the United States. He said the store has sold more shirts than it did in 2008, which he attributes to Kansas’ underdog status this year.

A few television news trucks were on Massachusetts Street on Sunday, likely reporting on Saturday night’s comeback win.

The Final Four anticipation and first-round victory extended downtown’s surreal atmosphere for another two days, and fans, businesses and city officials have started planning for tonight’s game and another potential celebration.

Chris Bianculli, of Lawrence, had to watch Saturday’s game at a wedding reception. Although he was able to make it to downtown after the game, he said he plans on watching the entire game downtown tonight. He watched both 2008 Final Four games at a packed Granada, 1020 Mass., and said the experience was “awesome.”

Sam Carmean, manager of Wayne and Larry’s, 933 Iowa, said he expects the restaurant to start filling up as early as 3 p.m. today, based on Saturday’s turnout. He said the restaurant will seat people on a first come, first serve basis.

Patrons will also have to arrive early to secure

seating at Jefferson’s Restaurant, 743 Mass. Tim Barnes, manager, said the restaurant will treat tonight like any other, albeit busy, night. But if KU wins, the restaurant will stay open until 2 a.m.

While virtually every Lawrence restaurant and bar will be playing the game, fans wishing to watch the game on a bigger screen have several options.

The Granada will play the game on five projector screens inside the venue and will also project the game in an outdoor beer garden on an adjacent lot, according to Hannah Shaw, an employee. Entry to the beer garden is $5, unless you arrive before 3 p.m. Fans can reserve 10-person tables for $250 inside. Shaw said she expects the Granada, like any downtown establishment, to be packed.

“Once Mass. is packed, I feel even the restaurants are going to be at capacity,” Shaw said.

Liberty Hall will also be playing the game on its movie theater screen.

Mick Cottin, cinema manager, said almost 700 people watched the game at Liberty Hall on Saturday. Liberty Hall will distribute 650 free tickets at its box office beginning 11 a.m. today. Doors open at 7 p.m.

And if that isn’t a big enough crowd, Allen Fieldhouse will be showing the game on the midcourt video board. Admission is free, and doors open at 7 p.m.

Downtown will be closed to traffic tonight if KU wins. Several hundred law enforcement officers from 10 area agencies will also be on hand. In 2008, the downtown crowd was estimated at 40,000 people following the victory against Memphis.

As he prepares to begin serving a one-year term as Lawrence mayor, Bob Schumm provided more details about possible public-private partnership to build a youth fieldhouse/recreation center at corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway. Here’s a look at some details currently being discussed: ! About $13 million is the current estimate for how much money the city will put into this project, Schumm said. How much money developers, which include Steve and Duane Schwada and members of the Gene Fritzel Construction company, will put into the project is less clear.

The $13 million is about how much the city thinks it can pay without raising taxes. City leaders are hoping to use money that will become available after the debt for several sales taxfinanced projects, such as the indoor pool and the

community health building, are retired in the near future. ! A development group, probably led by Thomas Fritzel, would own the fieldhouse/recreation center, under one proposal currently being considered.

The private group would take care of the maintenance, security, utilities and other such functions that come with owning a building. The city would pay a lease payment, which is included in the $13 million, to the private group, which would entitle the city to use the facility for parks and recreation classes, leagues and other functions. City employees of the Parks and Recreation Department likely would staff the facility. ! After 20 years of lease payments, the city would own the building, Schumm said. The city, however, would own the ground that the building sits on even during the

Party

morning hours following the victory.

There was also a singlecar accident on Jayhawk Boulevard on the KU campus Saturday night. There was one victim, the male driver, and he was transported by air ambulance to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Officials were unsure whether the man was a student and said more information would be available today.

Things were much different in the college town that’s home to Saturday’s other Final Four victor. The Associated Press reported that “a very dangerous situation” arose on the streets of Lexington, Ky., after the University of Kentucky’s victory over the University of Louisville. According to the story, people flipped over a car, set couches on fire and threw beer bottles at police officers.

On Sunday morning, a gray Honda Accord parked in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street had a shattered windshield and a crushed roof. Although there was no way to prove it, the dirt shoeprints on the dented hood suggested the vehicle may have been collateral damage from Saturday night’s celebration.

An LJWorld.com user posted a picture depicting a car that had sustained similar damage during the celebration. It appeared to be in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street.

According to the Lawrence Police Emergency emergency call list, there were three calls reporting criminal damage in downtown Lawrence in the early

first 20 years of the lease. ! Schumm hopes to have the building up and going by early 2013. ! Commissioners are being told that many of these youth sporting tournaments bring 2.5 visitors for every one event participant. Many of the tournaments have 50 to 60 teams.

“With those numbers it becomes pretty easy to see how it can be a huge economic development driver for the community,” Schumm said.

Rally seeks repeal of stand-your-ground law TOPEKA — A Topeka rally is planned to push for the repeal of a Kansas stand-your-ground law modeled after one in Florida. Stand-your-ground laws have been in the news since the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager by a neighborhood watch captain in Florida.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that community activist Sonny Scroggins is organizing the Topeka rally.

He is urging demonstrators to gather at 4:45 p.m. today on the south side of the State Capitol building. Then there will be a short march that will culminate with a 5 p.m. rally.

Demonstrators also will remember 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was killed Feb. 26 in the Florida town of Sanford.

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood crime-watch captain, has claimed self-defense and has not been charged in the shooting.

Kansas saw abortions decline 6.2% last year TOPEKA — Fewer abortions were performed in Kansas in 2011, marking the fifth consecutive year the numbers have dropped.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reports that about 7,800 abortions in Kansas were reported by doctors, or 6.2 percent less than the nearly 8,400 abortions performed in 2010.

The figure for last year also is 30 percent lower than the nearly 11,300 abortions performed in 2006.

Abortion opponents attribute the decline to anti-abortion laws enacted last year and suggest women are responding to information about pregnancy and abortion posted by KDHE online.

A prominent abortion rights advocate told The Kansas City Star that the laws are forcing women to obtain abortions outside Kansas. And he said the 2009 murder of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, of Wichita, is a factor.

High school senior turns science savvy into prize-winning research Student examines risks from using BPA, BPS in products

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Sarina Farb, a home-schooled high school senior who also takes classes at Free State High School, wasn’t caught up with March Madness or the Jayhawks’ run to the Final Four during spring break.

“I just don’t have time for it,” she said.

Instead, she was busy winning the grand My goal is to prize at the Great- bring awareness er Kansas City Sci- to the issue.” ence and Engineer- — Sarina Farb, on her ing Fair study, “A Comparison of for her the Endocrine Disrupting study, “A Potential Exhibited by C o m p a r i - Environmentally Relevant son of the Doses of Bisphenol A Endocrine and Bisphenol S in Vitro Disrupting P o t e n t i a l T-47D Breast Cancer Exhibited Cells.” by Environmentally Relevant Doses of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S in Vitro T-47D Breast Cancer Cells.”

Huh? It’s an idea a couple years in the making for Farb, who graciously accepts the label of “science geek.”

It stemmed partly from her mother, JoAnn, constantly insisting that Farb look for BPAfree water bottles, as well as Farb’s interest in breast cancer.

The “BPA” stands for bisphenol A and is believed by scientists to be harmful for humans, though it’s found in a wide variety of consumer products, such as water bottles and food packaging. Some health advocates have urged for the removal of BPA from such products.

Brownback active in promoting agenda It’s no secret that Gov. Sam Brownback and his staff have been twisting arms, especially in the Senate, to get their way.

Asked about whether Brownback has involved himself in legislative affairs more than other governors, Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton and a 20-year veteran of the Senate, said “significantly more.”

Morris said Brownback, also a Republican, launched an aggressive agenda for the session, and “he has been active promoting that.” While some senators have complained about the lobbying, Morris said his personal dealings with Brownback have “been very cordial.”

Morris is one of a group of Republicans that have been targeted for defeat in the GOP primary by Brownback’s allies, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

SARINA FARB, 18, a home-schooled senior who also takes classes at Free State High School, has been competing in science fairs for the past eight years. Over spring break, she earned the grand prize at the Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair for a study in which she examined the effects of BPS, or bisphenol S. Farb noticed that the Lawrence Public Library and The Merc promote BPA-free receipts, as BPA is used in the ink and found on the surface of receipts. Studies have suggested that the BPA found on receipts is absorbed into the body when handled.

So instead, the receipts at The Merc and the library contain BPS, or bisphenol S, which is similar to BPA. However, very few studies have examined whether BPS is any safer than BPA. So Farb set off to find out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Keep your big boy pants on.”

— State Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita.

Ward was urging the House to vote against sending a bill dealing with KanCare back to committee. Ward had been pushing for an amendment to the bill sought by advocates for those with developmental disabilities. Despite his pleas, the House, with only Republican votes, sent the bill back to committee.

The League of Women Voters of Kansas cites a study by the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that states the proposals will benefit

Science CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3B

Farb talked her way into a lab at Kansas University, and with the assistance of Kristi Neufeld, a molecular biology professor, obtained some lab space and the necessary testing supplies.

Farb spent “hundreds of hours” over the past year testing whether BPA and BPS cause an increase in the growth of breast cancer cells.

The results?

“BPS is worse,” said Farb, as her results showed that BPS caused more growth in the breast cancer cells than BPA. It’s an ambitious research start for Farb, who will attend Grinnell College in Iowa in the fall and study molecular biology.

Her love of science was instilled in her at an early age by her mom, who took her to a science fair when Farb was in second grade.

“I thought it was cool,” said Farb, who was hooked

on science from then on.

She said she was driven to “do a better project” than the ones she saw at various fairs.

For the past eight years, Farb has been competing in science fairs but had never won the Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair until last week. As part of her win, she’ll get an all-expense-paid trip to Pittsburgh in May to compete in an international competition. She’ll also head to Washington, D.C., in May for her win at another science fair earlier this year in Oklahoma.

Farb said she’s not sure

Attorney Keith Schroeder investigated the case and concluded that the officers acted within the law, The Hutchinson News reported.

“The shooting, although tragic, appears justified under Kansas law,” Schroeder said in a statement released Friday.

where her science and research will take her from here on out.

She has yet to tell the folks at the library and The Merc about her discovery but reluctantly plans to.

“My goal is to bring awareness to the issue,” she said.

Q:

One of the trees on my street, which the city planted a number of years ago, appears to be dying.

Whom do I call at the city about having that tree taken care of?

A:

Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager, provided this answer: It depends. If the tree is on the right of way (the area between the curb and the sidewalk), the city owns the tree and would make the replacement if growing conditions are suitable.

If the tree is in a newer subdivision, then the tree was most likely planted via a contract and paid for by the developer with the building permit. These trees carry a carry a oneyear warranty. For tree replacements after one year, it is the homeowner’s responsibility. Homeowners can choose to plant their own tree or call the city to purchase another tree.

The current cost is $245.

KU finds the right fit with strength and conditioning coach

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at KUsports.com

I said, ‘All right, I’ll prove it to you.’ Twenty-nine reps later, I ended up in the training room.”

It’s a painful memory for more than just Hudy.

“Next day her arm’s in a sling,” Case said. “Damn, I feel so bad. Just goes to show how tough coach Hudy is. She’s no ordinary lady. Really tough lady.”

Hudy suffered a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum.

“I lost the battle, but I won the war,” Hudy said.

“He didn’t think he could do four reps, and he did six.”

NEW ORLEANS — Such silly, dangerous things can happen in the weight room, where steel clangs and challenges fly.

And then there is the facility supervised by Andrea Hudy, strength and conditioning coach for the Kansas University men’s and women’s basketball programs.

So much science goes into the planning of the workouts, the study of the Athletic upbringing Getting athletes to do progress each individual makes.

and sisters,” said Hudy, a scholarship volleyball player at Maryland. “They were always training for something, and that’s what I grew up with, always seeing people train. And everybody in my family were teachers of some sort. Education, coaching, teaching, that’s what we grew up with around the dinner table, so it was always a part of everything I’ve done.”

Hudy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from Maryland, and her Master of Art and sport biomechanics degree from Connecticut. At UConn, she worked with eight national-championship teams: five women’s basketball, two men’s basketball, one soccer. She’s gunning for her second men’s basketball championship at Kansas, her 10th overall.

dividual body, discussed her approach with various challenges working with this year’s players, starting with the biggest challenge, 7-foot, 225-pound junior center Jeff Withey.

“There’s a difference between chronological age and biological age,” Hudy said. “Jeff could still be growing. And if he’s still growing in any way, it’s requiring a lot of calories, a lot of calories. So if he’s still growing and we can’t get enough calories in him, his body’s going to utilize its own energy.”

Hudy eats meals with Withey, just as she did with former KU guard Sherron Collins. For Collins, less was more. For Withey, more is more.

“For Jeff right now, when you break it down, it’s calories in, calories out,” Hudy said. “That’s what we look at. ... As you get older in your career, it matters what you eat, and I’m not

Transforming the team This Kansas team has developed as its signature falling behind and slowly eroding the deficit, playing its best at the end of games. It’s not supposed to work that way for teams with such little depth.

They’re supposed to fade at the end, so consumed by fatigue they can’t finish games. Thanks in part to the work done in Hudy’s weight room, Kansas has the stamina to finish games with energy. Give her some credit for helping this team stay injury-free as well.

If Kansas defeats favored Kentucky tonight in the Superdome to win the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time (1952, 1988, 2008), the players who made it happen will thank her by name with the cameras rolling. They make a point of it.

Hudy, who customizes the workouts she prescribes based on each in-

taking anything from nutrition now, but he needs to get as many calories as he can. As you get older, it becomes more of an issue.”

I don’t think there’s an issue for Jeff right now.

Withey has a green light to cram as many potato chips and sweets as he can stomach. The problem: He can’t stomach much.

“I don’t like junk food, really, because I feel bad after I eat it,” Withey said.

“My body doesn’t agree with it. Any calories help.

I’m just trying to put anything down. I’m just constantly trying to eat.”

Conner Teahan arrived at Kansas as a walk-on and ranks sixth in minutes played.

“She transformed me from a slow white guy to a not-as-slow white guy,” Teahan joked.

At the other end of the speed and strength spectrum, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior power

forward Thomas Robinson arrived as elite athletes.

“They’re two different athletes, but their power outlet is pretty close,” Hudy said of the team’s two leading scorers. “Tyshawn is more of a tendon-producing guy.

The faster he goes, the better he is. Thomas might be more of a muscle-strength guy, where the slower it is, the more power he can develop because he’s really good at strength. Tyshawn might not be great at strength, but he’s reactive, tendon reactive. So you’ve got two different types of power output.”

Changes to Robinson’s body have been subtle compared with those made to the bodies of former Jayhawks Marcus and Markieff Morris.

“I think the twins had a huge change in terms of what we did there,” Hudy said. “When they got here, they couldn’t even touch the rim. It was a joke. They had talent, and they’re really smart, in-tune people, but they never trained until they got here.”

Robinson has improved more than just his basketball skills.

“Thomas came in, and he looked like that, now that he’s put on 20 pounds, he looks better, but that was mom and dad,” Hudy said. “He’s moving faster, so he’s a better athlete.

We’re moving a larger mass faster.”

The well-toned mass moved so fast it carried Kansas all the way to the national-title game. Not bad for a team that had just one player, Taylor, who scored in last season’s Elite Eight loss to Virginia Commonwealth.

Study examines state re-entry initiatives ———

Research: Inmates in programs were more likely to wind up back in prison Parole revocations for violations, such as a positive drug test, accounted for the higher overall percentage of returns to prison for those in the re-entry programs.

OFFICIALS WORK THE SCENE of a crashed Minnesotabound motor home on Sunday in a ravine off Interstate 35 in northeast Kansas. The Kansas Highway Patrol said the northbound Freightliner motor home was carrying 18 people and pulling a trailer when the driver lost control at 9 a.m. Sunday and crashed into the ravine. Five were killed.

5 killed in I-35 motor home crash KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A motor home packed with a Minnesota family and a handful of their friends crashed Sunday morning in northeast Kansas as they returned from a vacation, killing five people and sending 13 others to hospitals.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said the northbound vehicle was filled with 18 people and pulling a trailer when the driver lost control at 9 a.m. on Interstate 35. The vehicle hit a guardrail and a concrete bridge rail before crashing into a creek ravine near the small town of Williamsburg, which is located about 70 miles southwest of Kansas City, Mo. Debris was strewn around the crumpled Freightliner box truck, which had living quarters inside.

The survivors were sent to several surrounding hospitals. One of the hospitals, Overland Park Regional Medical Center, was treating Pauline Kerber, a 46-year-old widowed mother of 12 from Jordan, Minn., who was in critical but stable condition, and her 17-year-old son, Adam Kerber, who was in critical condition.

The hospital released

a statement Sunday night on behalf of the family thanking the public for the “outpouring of love and support.”

“We appreciate the prayers of so many, and appreciate you respecting our privacy as we mourn our deep loss,” said the statement from the hospital, which also treated a critically injured 8-yearold boy before transferring him to a children’s hospital. By Sunday night, at least five of the victims had been released from other hospitals in Topeka, Olathe and Ottawa.

The crash is under investigation. Trooper Don Hughes said he couldn’t release the names, ages or hometowns of all of the victims because their relatives were still being notified.

But John Marks, a close family friend of the Kerbers, told The Star Tribune in Minneapolis that relatives had told him that the dead include four of the Kerber children and one adult woman.

Kirk Nelson, superintendent of Jordan public school district in Minnesota, said students had last week off for spring break, and were scheduled to return today.

Federal funding in 2002 started the ball rolling for enhanced re-entry initiatives in Kansas, and across the country, to help inmates being released from state prisons.

The goal: keep them from returning to prison.

A decade later, a recent study by a Kansas University researcher shows that inmates in Kansas reentry programs actually ended up back in prison at higher rates than those who didn’t participate in such programs.

Were millions wasted trying to help offenders transition back into society, when doing nothing would have been more effective?

“For the average person, that’s sort of a typical reaction,” said KU social welfare professor Margaret Severson, who conducted the study, published in the August 2011 issue of the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation.

“I do everything I can to make sure that’s not the message.”

Severson’s study compared hundreds of inmates enrolled in a re-entry program to offenders not enrolled in a program between 2006 and 2009. Within two years, those in the reentry program wound up back in prison 32 percent of the time, compared to 25 percent of those not in a program.

But it’s important to dig a little deeper into the data, Severson said.

Less than 8 percent of the re-entry participants were convicted of new crimes, compared to 12 percent of those not in a re-entry program. Parole revocations for violations, such as a positive drug test, accounted for the higher overall percentage

of returns to prison for those in the re-entry programs.

That’s an important point, Severson said.

“It’s the crimes that are really costing families,” she said.

And Kansas’ 25 to 32 percent prison re-entry rate is lower than other states, said Jan Lunsford, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Corrections. Lunsford cited a 2011 Pew Center study showing that more than 43 percent of inmates released from prison end up returning within three years — though Severson’s study only looked at a two-year time frame.

The results of Severson’s study — and similar studies — often can be interpreted several ways, said Douglas Marlowe, chief scientist for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

“You could interpret (the results) to mean the program worked, or didn’t work one way or the other. Or they didn’t work,” Marlowe said about the complicated

process of assessing such programs.

Kansas was the first of a handful of states to receive federal funding for re-entry programs known as Serious and Violent Offender Re-entry Initiative projects, or SVORI. Since 2002, every state has received some federal funding for such programs.

With budget tightening, federal funding has ended, but states, including Kansas, still fund a variety of re-entry programs.

With Kansas seeing a recent spike in the prison population, after years of little or no growth, funding re-entry is as important as ever, Severson said.

While her study didn’t show the dramatic strides hoped for by re-entry program advocates, the research will help future reentry programs be more successful.

“We have to stick with” re-entry programs, Severson said. “We have to keep talking about it.”

Creative capital Engineering is just one of the fields in which local officials should be working to attract creative individuals and enterprises.

A

recent $500,000 gift to Kansas University’s School of Engineering is more than just a nice boost to the university’s fundraising efforts.

It also should be a reminder to local economic development leaders of an emerging opportunity to create highquality, high-paying jobs for our community.

The Burns & McDonnell Foundation recently gave $500,000 to help the engineering school recruit students, add faculty, and increase classroom and lab space. The gift is just one of many the engineering school has received in recent years. This interest in the school comes at the same time several state leaders are pushing hard to make the attraction and retention of engineering firms a cornerstone of the state’s economic development strategy.

It is a wise course for the state. Rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure will be a major priority for the next generation. Such rebuilding will increase the need for engineers. The state’s location in the heartland makes this a great spot for engineering firms to establish a home base. Kansas City already has proven engineering firms can thrive here by serving as the home of some of the larger engineering firms in the world.

Lawrence leaders now need to position the city to capitalize on this movement. Lawrence has an atmosphere that is naturally attractive for creative people and already is having success attracting those creative people in the bioscience arena. Those efforts obviously should continue and intensify. Attracting the creative minds in the engineering field may well be the next goal.

The effort should not stop there. Community leaders need to develop a strategy that sells Lawrence as the place for creative business professionals of all types: architects, publishers, designers, programmers and others. For Lawrence’s economy to experience the growth that it badly needs, it will take a community initiative. The community needs an idea — a vision — that can draw broad enthusiasm and support.

Lawrence ought to set a goal of becoming the Creative Capital of the Great Plains. It is an economic development strategy that capitalizes on our educational strengths, our workforce and our spirit.

Now is the time for our community leaders to come up with a creative plan to make it happen.

Lawrence city commissioners gave their unanimous approval to YEARS a resolution of inAGO tent to issue $3.5 IN 1987 million in industrial revenue bonds for construction of a movie studio in the University and Corporate Research Park. Oread Studios, the 28,000-square-foot complex planned for a 7.71-acre tract on the city’s western edge, was to include 16,000 square feet of sound stage space as well as dressing rooms, offices, and classrooms.

To the editor: Pollution is a big deal. So, why don’t we treat it like one? Pollution hurts wildlife and the people who share their home. A possible solution to this growing threat is recycling. Recycling is when we reuse trash to make new products out of old ones.

An average American produces about 4 pounds of garbage each day. That means that one person is producing 1,460 pounds of trash a year! That’s a hefty amount of trash for a single person. In one day, America will produce around 200 million tons of garbage! Less than one-fourth of America’s trash is recycled. Think about it, 200 million tons in one day!

That’s the equivalent of 100,000 average U.S. cars.

Some people think that it actually takes more energy and pollutes the air worse to recycle than to make a new product. When recycling was new, that was true, but now technology has advanced to be less harmful to the local wildlife. Also recycling plants have been built closer to the public.

The best way, in my opinion, to get people to recycle is to give them many opportunities to do so. I think that Lawrence’s main street should have a recycle bin next to every trash can. Additionally there should be a recycling service that comes and picks up your recyclable items for a small charge. This may not look like much at first, but it will grow into something big.

Reid Lewis, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 2, 1912: YEARS “The country AGO roads out of LawIN 1912 rence are said to be in very bad condition at present owing to the recent heavy snows and rains.

Farmers living close to Lawrence also report that they are short of feed and owing to the bad roads are unable to haul it in from farmers farther out who have it for sale. The Lawrence Paper Mill company has been in receipt of many requests for straw to be used as feed to tide the farmers over until the roads dry up. They would feed this straw to their horses and cattle.”

“It is something unusual for a young pullet to lay an egg five and seven-eighths inches around one way, and seven inches the long way of the egg.

This is what Mrs. Estella Fincher found to be a fact when she gathered the eggs last evening.

Mr. Fincher is a carpenter and he measured the egg correctly.”

“A fish is on display at the Bigelow Court House Grocery that was taken from Peterson’s Lake. The fish weighs 18 pounds.

There are many fish in the Peterson lake.”

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

It’s books against basketball With basketball on CBS, PBS convenes a book club. “American Masters” (check local listings) profiles two Southern women whose books became some of the most beloved novels of the 20th century, inspiring classic motion pictures while also wrestling with larger issues of American racism and Southern identity. ‘‘Margaret Mitchell: American Rebel” (8 p.m.) offers a glimpse at the woman behind “Gone With the Wind.” Her own life would provide plenty of material for the massive page-turner that sold millions of copies during the Great Depression. She would lose a fiance to World War I before she turned 18 and lose her mother to influenza soon after.

She was later courted by two men and married the wrong one before settling down with the soul mate who would survive her. She evolved from a sheltered Southern belle who recoiled when she had to share a classroom with a black woman at Smith College in Massachusetts to a rather liberated flapper and enterprising journalist during the 1920s. ‘‘Rebel” also reveals how, after she became wealthy from sales of “Gone With the Wind,” she secretly financed the first black hospital in Atlanta and provided tuition for the education of black doctors to staff the facility. It’s unclear, but implied, that she was inspired to do so by the negative reaction of black readers (and, later, moviegoers) to her portrayal of slavery in her epic novel. ‘‘Harper Lee: Hey, Boo” (9 p.m.) mixes scholarly and literary voices and pop culture figures (Tom Brokaw and Oprah Winfrey) in its appreciation of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Like “Rebel,” it relies a great deal on clips from its film adaptation, an instant masterpiece that turns 50 this year.

Of the two women, Lee is the greater enigma, an Alabaman living in Manhattan who was aided emotionally and financially by gracious fellow Southern exiles.

Much is made of Lee’s relationship with Truman Capote, a childhood friend and the subject for the peculiar neighbor, Dill, in “Mockingbird.”

She also sends lovely things for my birthday and Christmas.

The problem is that my mother-in-law keeps borrowing my clothes. A year ago, she attended a barbecue at our home and spilled something on her blouse. We are roughly the same size, so I told her to look in my closet for something to change into. Since then, she has been making regular visits to borrow clothes and accessories.

She returns some items promptly, but not all.

Kitchen invaders part of the family

“M

ay I have your attention please,” I recently shouted at the ants running a stack of dirty plates on the off chance that they had ears. “The cafeteria will be closing in five minutes. Please feel free to ask for any last-minute assistance you may need.”

I heard a variation of this over the PA system every night at the Jones Store where I sold women’s shoes during college. Sometimes it worked; sometimes it didn’t. Sometimes knocking hard on the counter works to clear the ants. Sometimes it doesn’t. The lure of the chemical trails they’ve left for each other can be too compelling. A blessed few emit an alarm signal and scramble for the gap between the splashboard and the wall where they run through the cayenne pepper they purportedly dislike. I refuse to take more drastic measures.

I read that Jain monks hire somebody to walk in front of them to wave and sweep away midges lest they inhale a soul trapped into a body when transmigrating, maybe even a reincarnated relative’s soul.

A Jain can’t intentionally kill anything. I can’t either, especially ants.

I read somewhere else that any individual ant you see is likely to be a worker. A sterile female worker. I am a sterile female worker. Being unable to kill complicates your life. For instance, it’s my job to wash dishes, which causes a daily apocalypse.

In part, I create the problem. Because it wastes water to wash dishes more than once a day, I let a sink-full build up until supper.

My kitchen is an ant Promised Land.

When Lisa cut some of last season’s native grass away from the gas meter’s little glass window, she disturbed a colony. A corps of sterile female workers stamped over her clippers and up her arms, each one frantically carrying a white blob, a colony pupa to she knew not where. (I would have done the same thing with my niece and nephew. You don’t have to have given birth to feel responsible, invested.)

They quickly relocated to quarters behind the kitchen sink. This year’s workers particularly prize not-chicken and dumplings. For these leavings, they will slog through gravy pits and forage deep into ceramic caves that might suddenly fill with a torrent of hot tea or hot soapy water.

Go GREEN KELLY BARTH In the first phase of emergency evacuation, I blow individuals off dishes. They hit the window, splashboard and cabinets.

Veterans have learned to hunker down like wing-walkers.

Next, I move on to water rescues. I put my finger under each one and lift them to the windowsill above the sink, then crack my finger on the wood. This sends them splaying onto the sill — sometimes with parts of their body pasted together that shouldn’t touch, head to back foot, antennae to thorax, head missing altogether — but there’s no way to lay them out. Either they struggle to their feet or they don’t.

I’ve watched one twirling in circles, her antennae attached to the sill by a film of water. I resisted the temptation to leave the 99 for the one and tear her limbs off in the process.

Rather than directly kill them, I leave workers paralyzed, brain-damaged, scalded.

Many drown, their lungs filled with biodegradable soap. I do this every day despite the fact that few of them do well after rescue.

A young hippie friend understands the futility. She calls them her little ant friends. Occasionally I get a flash of insight into how everyone but she and I feel.

Lifting a plate off a lake of cereal milk with a hundred little black swimmers triggers something in my amygdalae. “That isn’t right,” it says.

The same thing happens when I’m in a Walmart. Too many trying to do too much. Sometimes I want to use the sprayer and get on with my work.

And yet I have a super magnifying glass.

I’ve watched workers hoist bits many times their size over their heads and drag away fallen comrades who will most likely give the last full measure of devotion in the food midden. I’ve even watched what looked like two of them carefully passing a bead of liquid between their ant jaws.

Whatever they did took them a long time.

Maybe I’m still doing penance for stomping every single ant that crawled up through the patio stones one afternoon when I was about 10. I didn’t do it because I hated them but because I could.

It wasn’t until I could see all the wet smears, all the little broken bodies, one not quite dead, its front half moving, it’s back half crushed, that I realized I hadn’t just ruined a perfectly good summer day; I had killed things that had done nothing to me.

And then at church camp, my Buddhist counselor masquerading as a Presbyterian taught us to collect a swarm of carpenter ant alephs in the hogan with a cup and an index card and turn them lose outside, instead of reaching for the can of spray that had been on our list of things to pack.

We were not to harm one thing that week under her tutelage, not even each other’s feelings. We were to love others as we loved ourselves.

Ant biologist Deborah Gordon reminds herself, “I am irrelevant to the ants.”

It helps me, and only just a little, to remind myself that I will most probably be destroyed finally from the inside out by things smaller even than ants, things not burdened by guilt, magnified views, or a sense of interconnectedness. What will seem to be callous disregard for their macrocosm will simply be their need to fix supper and wash dishes.

I’m not a Jain. I don’t believe ants could contain the souls of distant relatives. But I do feel related. I find them walking on my arms, my toes, the lenses of my glasses. Eating the same food, drinking the same fluoride-treated tap water, derived from the same primal stardust, the ants share my DNA, my isotopes and my fate.

They’re family, so I’ll continue to do what I have to do.

PHOTOGRAPHER’S WORK EVOKES PIN-UP ERA EMMALEE SCHAUMBURG, Lawrence, takes pin-up style glamour shots in her Bombshell studio at 613 N. Second St. Bombshell’s grand opening with Schaumburg running the studio was Friday.

BY CHANSI LONG

W

earing a teal dress and a pair of heels circa 1950, Emmalee Schaumburg eases into a chair in the lobby of her photography studio in North Lawrence. The sound of a woman’s voice croons over a crackly clarinet from a stereo tucked in back.

Schaumburg’s dark hair is tied back, and her lipstick is bright pink, all vestiges of the era she seeks to revive through her photography.

Schaumburg is a pin-up photographer for Bombshell Pinup Productions, 613 N. Second Street. She takes pictures of regular women, usually between the ages of 30 and 50, making the photos resemble the sort that made Marilyn Monroe famous.

Schaumburg quickly launches into the story of how this scene came to be — how she, a modern woman of 26, got into pin-up photography, an art that experienced its heyday in the 1940s and ‘50s, and has nearly been lost in the midst of more sexual imagery.

“Ever since high school I knew that I wanted to have my studio and do photography as a business and not just a hobby,” Schaumburg says. She recalls being captivated by “Migrant Mother,” the photo of a Depressionera woman looking off as her two children burrow their heads into her shoulders, as early as junior high.

Schaumburg fell in love with photography in a darkroom. Watching the colors and shapes bleed across the film, turning a white strip into a lively image; the whole process was alluring. She made photography a professional focus while still in high school, taking senior pictures for her friends.

She would begin to perfect her craft by taking pictures of her nephews and the children she baby-sat, snapping photos of them on swing sets out on a 10-acre farm. She’d also take pictures of flowers at Overland Park arboretum, but rugged farm scenes are her favorite, and people her main focal point. After high school, she attended Johnson County Community College, majoring in business entrepreneurship with plans to start her own studio.

When Schaumburg moved to Lawrence from Louisburg seven years ago, she asked photographer John Gladman if he needed an intern. He said no.

So she tried establish a business on her own. She took

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

senior pictures, family portraits and began to specialize in newborn photography. She even took a few pin-ups but got discouraged when she stumbled upon Bombshell, a local portrait business that specialized in pin-up photography.

“I saw the name and the logo and the cover effect, and I thought, ‘oh my goodness, I can’t compete with this,’” she said.

Then, last year, Gladman asked Schaumburg if she would take over the Lawrence Bombshell location. He had looked at her work and was pleased. Gladman, the creative director of the pin-up studio, and Carol Ann Zuk, the owner, needed someone to license the business to so they could start a Bombshell studio in Las Vegas.

Zuk says they considered a lot of photographers before picking Schaumburg.

“We were looking for someone with the right energy,” Zuk says. “We needed someone who would be fully committed … someone who would be competent. I’m ecstatic that we chose her. She’s really good artistic-wise, which we need.”

At Bombshell, much of Schaumburg’s work is done hunkered over a computer: She digitally enhances each image, adding hand-painted effects with painstaking detail.

But the hard part — capturing the right moment — is done in the studio during a one-hour photo session with each client.

“The biggest challenge is making them feel at ease,” Schaumburg says. “I like to joke around with them and make it playful and fun so that they’re comfortable.

“The girls always look great, and you would think they would feel fine in front of the camera because they’ve got their hair done and their make up done, and they should feel really pretty, but they don’t always feel that way. I try to encourage them,” she says.

Schaumburg cherishes the era of the pin-up.

“I always dress up in vintage clothing when meeting with clients and even when not meeting with clients,” she says. “Whether it’s my black pencil skirt, high-waisted pants or my newest favorite teal dress, I’m always looking the part and loving the clothes from the ‘50s.”

SEAWEED SALAD-SAVER

BOOK REVIEWS

By Naomi Grant

BY SARAH HENNING

I

t’s no shock that I’m really high on bringing salad for lunch. I’ve blogged about salad countless times in this space. (We should probably just start calling it “Salad Corner” or something, right?)

Therefore, I’d say that at least four days out of the week I’m having salad al desko. And more often than not, my eyes are way bigger than my stomach when preparing one at home or creating one at a salad bar.

This is a common occurrence, right? I’m not the only one who goes, “I WANT EVERYTHING” when standing in front of a trough of veggies of varying weights.

I mean, this IS why they sell it (not-so-cheaply) by the pound, no?

Well, even if it’s just me who’s paying $10 or more for per-pound salad (yes, it would be cheaper if I didn’t buy the heavy stuff), chances are that if you’re the type to bring your lunch to work, you’ve been unfortunate enough to have dressed a salad, not eaten it all for one reason or another, left it overnight and come in the next day to find your leftover lunch all soggy in the bottom of the container. I love my salad, but even I really, really hate diving into soggy, next-day greens. I mean, limp and cold just sounds so … appealing, right? Especially in an over-air-conditioned office environment. Brrr.

Thus, I must admit that many a day-old salad has been pitched and sandwich ordered because of this.

That said, I’ve found two very easy ways to remedy this particular problem.

The first: Keep a bowl and fork at work. That way, you can put half your salad in a bowl, dress it and then see where you are after you finish. I found a nice HUGE one (I’ve found the bigger the bowl, the less chance at dressing splatters on my desk) at World Market, 3106 Iowa, for $6. It works like a charm and is great to keep on hand for other random office delights.

The second is a brainstorm that’s happened most recently: Keep a package of nori sheets right there in your desk next to your snacks.

Nori sheets are just sheets of seaweed used to make sushi rolls. They’re pretty inexpensive and very good for you (lots of iron and about five to 10 calories per sheet).

But here’s where they come in when discussing soggy salad: they’re your knights in black-green armor.

Seriously.

Have leftover dressed salad that’s gone all wilty? Just spoon it in and wrap it up.

I’ve found it works, no matter the dressing type. The nori is pretty neutral, considering it’s a sea veggie. Plus, it seems to stay good forever in a cabinet (though you might want to place an open package within a plastic bag) and it won’t add loads of calories or artificial crapola to your meal like some wraps.

And, thus, another salad is saved from the trash.

If you try it, let me know what you think.

P.S: Note the nori is pretty chewy, and for best results, you should eat it immediately after filling it with salad. If you let it sit, it will be hard to tear with your teeth.

P.P.S: Nori is also really good slathered with hummus and filled with pieces of avocado.

‘Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe’

“W

elcome, Caller, This is Chloe” by Shelley Coriell was a fabulous and quick read.

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in less than two days, but I really had far too much time on my hands over spring break. Maybe if the most exciting NCAA games had been at a more convenient time, it would have taken me longer to finish a book. The people in charge of the tournament really shouldn’t schedule Kansas University games so late.

Chloe is an extremely extroverted girl who wears her heart on her sleeve.

However, if she was a real person, I’m not sure if I would be friends with her because sometimes she tends to be a little self-centered, and she doesn’t always know when it is appropriate to make jokes.

The book starts right before the end of winter break during Chloe’s junior year.

Her two best friends are mad at her, and she doesn’t know why. Everywhere she goes, she hears people whispering about her, and knows that her A-Lister former besties started it.

However, Chloe can’t waste too much time worrying about that because juniors at her school are required to do an independent study project, and her first idea was not ac-

cepted by her new guidance counselor, Anne Lungren.

A. Lungren, as Chloe thinks of her, suggests that Chloe work with the school’s failing radio station, 88.8 The Edge, which almost nobody has heard of, and has only enough funding to last for the rest of the semester. Chloe really wants nothing to do with the radio station, but she can’t do anything else. When Chloe first talks to The Edge staffers, a lot of them seem kind of strange and Clementine, the general manager, is outright mean.

Soon, Chloe convinces the more experienced staffers to let her have not one but two of her very own talk shows, with results of a survey to back her up. The radio station has never had nearly so many listeners. She becomes friends with the staffers (even falls for one of them), and although her ex-best friend is still destroying her reputation, Chloe herself gets Books a ton of publicity, as everybody s m ra Ab wants to know what the pariah is going to talk about.

Readers ages 12 and up will love Chloe as she learns a few hard lessons through the course of this book, but you’re going to have to wait, because “Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe” will not be released until May. — Naomi Grant is a freshman at Free State High School.

Anatomy of a relationship, dissected KU grad shares details of couple’s therapy in ‘George & Hilly’ memoir

BY MARGIE CARR

BOOK SIGNING

C

ombine a “neurotic, obsessivecompulsive, infantile-arrested, stuporous melancholi(c)” (George Gurley) with a “competent overachiever” (Hilary Heard), who also happens to have a “randy, nubile party girl” streak, and what do you get?

Counseling.

And once you discover that the affable man-boy has commitment (and cleanliness) issues, and his girlfriend has her own struggles with finances and French wine, you understand that the therapy can go on for a L-O-N-G time — six years, in Gurley and Heard’s case.

It is those six years the couple spent in analysis that makes up the heart of Gurley’s new memoir, “George & Hilly: The Anatomy of a Relationship” (Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books, 2012), a funny and compelling inside look at a modernday, big city romance.

The book started off as a series of columns Gurley, a former nightlife reporter for the New York Observer, wrote for his newspaper, detailing his and Hilly’s experiences with their therapist, the unflappable Dr. Selman. While the focus of the book is George and Hilly coming to grips with their partying and spendthrift ways, it also gives the reader a glimpse of New York City’s nightlife, and it shows just how far Gurley has traveled from his Kansas roots.

Gurley was born in Kansas City in 1968 and spent his first 10 years in the Kansas City suburb of Westwood Hills. When his parents divorced in 1978, he moved to New York City with his mother, Katherine Bryan. Despite the miles that separated them, Gurley remained close to his father, also George Gurley, a longtime editor at the Kansas City Star and now a monthly columnist for the Lawrence JournalWorld.

The junior Gurley returned to Kansas in 1986 to attend Kansas University.

“I finished school in ’91, but I stayed in Lawrence until 1992 because wanted to ‘do college’ without the classes,” says Gurley from his cellphone, as he traveled from New York to Kansas City and Lawrence.

This isn’t Gurley’s first trip back to the Midwest since graduation. In 2009, when it came time to put the book to-

gether, to organize, consolidate and edit the columns, Gurley turned to his father for help.

“It was like going to graduate school, I learned so much,” says Gurley. “I have a tendency to go long, and I can still hear him telling me to ‘boil it down!’”

“There was an enormous amount of material,” says the senior Gurley, who adRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo mits to being shocked at some of the content. “And it was a challenge to get him to GEORGE GURLEY, LEFT, recently wrote a book about the six years of therapy sessions he participated in with his girlfriend and asked his father, George Gurley, right, throw away stuff.”

It was the elder Gurley who suggested to edit the book. that his son divide the work up into separate chapters.

“He told me to write a chapter about drinking which became the ‘The Pharmacotherapy Couple’ (chapter six),” Gurley says. “I really needed the structure, and for the chapters to have themes because the material was very spontaneous and nonlinear.”

As it turned out, the men enjoyed collaborating on the manuscript.

“It was a neat experience because most fathers don’t have the opportunity to work with their kids in a way that is so mutually rewarding,” the elder Gurley says. “When he was younger, he would usually do the exact opposite of what I advised.”

Case in point: his son’s chosen profession.

“Why hadn’t I listened to my father?”

Gurley laments at the beginning of the chapter called “Money Matters.” “He thought the profession was doomed. ‘Join the ministry, the army,’ he said. ‘Start a Laundromat or become a pastry chef in Portugal. Something with a future. Otherwise, you’ll end up operating a leaf blower or delivering pizzas.’”

Perhaps it is fortunate the younger Gurley ignored this bit of wisdom. Otherwise, he may have never met Hilly, and readers would have missed out on the opportunity to get inside the heads and hearts of these two people who seem destined to be together.

Don’t give in to pressure on waxing Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: I’m 17.

My girlfriends told me that if I want to get with a guy I need to get a Brazilian wax and that all the boys they know will only be with me if I do it. I assume you know what that is.

It sounds terrible to me and it will hurt and I don’t want to do it, but they’re pressuring me. What is your advice?

Dr. Wes: After 19 years of practice it takes a lot to shock me, but you got it done today.

Yes, I do know what a Brazilian wax is, but if readers don’t, I’ll save them a Google search and say it has to do with removing pubic hair. Completely. ‘Nuf said. Until your letter, and some follow-up research, I thought this was only something young women did to wear very brief bikinis. But sure enough, after consulting my network, I’ve learned that it’s becoming popular for exactly the reasons you cite.

Apparently, in our increasingly sexualized culture, there really is pressure for girls to do this to land a guy. And that’s where I sense a rat in this story, in the form of pornography.

That’s how a whole lot of young men learn about sex, and your story is a great example of why it’s a bad education. Apparently, that same look is pretty popular among today’s Internet porn stars (and wannabes), so boys want their girls (feel free to cringe now) to look the same way.

This is disturbing for several reasons, but the most important one is this: Modern pornography is demeaning enough to women without girls trying to take on the same look.

This goes beyond body image, and self-respect, to a very troubling place in our society where the line between sex and childhood is being crossed, and none of us should be comfortable with where that is headed.

On the other hand — and several young women I spoke with insisted I mention this — if two people are in a healthy re-

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS lationship and they agree they want to try out their local waxing salon, it is not our place to pass judgment (especially if the guy is offering himself up for the same procedure). But if Brazilian waxing is the new ticket into the dating pool — as your letter portends — parents need to add it to the long list of topics to discuss with teenagers, even if that is particularly awkward.

We’ve made it through other topics. We can make it through this one.

Everyone deserves free will to choose something this personal, and no boys, late teen or young adult, should dictate these kind of terms for a relationship. If a guy is checking off boxes on the physical modifications he requires in a girlfriend, that should offer a hint or two as to his primary interests, don’t you think?

Miranda: While I know what a Brazilian wax is, I would have never guessed it was an expectation with boys these days.

The most important lesson of your experience is this: Don’t EVER let a partner, or in this case your friends, talk you into doing something you don’t want to do.

I agree that porn is at the root of this problem. I think most guys our age like to have sex. That’s not exactly a shock, is it?

The problem develops when they expect their partner to live up to the “standards” pornography sets. The idea that this is somehow the “norm” for teenage relationships, as implied by what your friends have told you, is not true.

And I agree with Wes. Any guy who bases his relationship choices off a girl’s Brazilian wax job is not the quality of guy you should be going after.

An emotional bond should be established before moving into a sexual relationship, and if this type of procedure is necessary to him, then it shows you where his priorities stand.

Worse, no specific boy even told you that this was necessary. It was just your friends. This “group mentality” may be the way they justify their choices in meeting the demands their partners make of them.

But that’s no reason to jump on your friend’s no-hair bandwagon.

Learn something important from this — stand up for yourself, and if a guy ever foists a sexual expectation upon you that makes you feel uncomfortable, walk away. No one should pressure you into doing something like this just to have sex with him, especially when it will be harmful or painful to you.

Ask your friends to drop this and inform them that, while you appreciate their input, you are fully capable of making your own decisions.

CRUNCHY CEREALS AND NOODLES with a blend of chocolate, marshmallow and peanut butter are used to create edible “nests” to store chocolate eggs and jelly beans.

Chocolate eggs need crunchy chocolate nests

BY ALISON LADMAN, ASSOCIATED PRESS

Y

ou’ll have no trouble enticing the kids to get involved in this easy and tasty part of Easter dinner prep.

We’ve combined a blend of crunchy cereals and noodles with a deliciously sticky blend of chocolate, marshmallow and peanut butter to create edible “nests” in which the little ones can store their chocolate eggs and jelly beans (assuming those treats stick around long enough to be stored).

The process is simple — just melt together the butter, marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate, then stir in the dry ingredients. After that, let the children set to work shaping their nests.

Just note — this is a messy project. So you might want to do it before the kids get into their Easter best. Also, to make it a little less messy, lightly coat the kids’ (or your) hands with cooking spray.

The finished nests can be stored in plastic bags at room temperature for up to a week.

10-ounce package mini marshmallows 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 6 ounces semisweet chocolate bits 2 cups thin chow mein noodles 1 1/2 cups square corn cereal, such as Corn Chex 2 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate bits. Stir continuously until completely melted and blended.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chow mein noodles, corn cereal and rice cereal. Allow the mixture to cool until safe to handle.

For small nests, scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.

For larger nests, use about 1/2 cup. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon (coated with cooking spray) to create an indentation at the center of each mound to form a “nest.” Allow to finish cooling until firm.

COMMUNITY EMBRACES CO-OPS

BY KELLY STRODA

LAURIE DALE MARSHALL, DIRECTOR of the Lawrence Community Nursery School, 645 Ala., reads to the children on March 27.

L

awrence Community Nursery School sits at the corner of Seventh and Alabama. The preschool, affectionately called the Little Red School House, is a staple in the neighborhood and the community.

But it’s more than that. It’s the second-oldest cooperative preschool in the nation.

This nursery school has been around since 1948. In the beginning, the LCNS met in church basements. Then, in 1956, members raised enough money to buy a house, and it’s been at the location ever since.

A couple of years ago, the United Nations deemed 2012 the International Year of the Cooperative. According to the Center for Cooperatives, there are almost 30,000 co-ops in the United States that operate 73,000 places of business. Co-ops have a strong presence in Lawrence, even if it isn’t always known. Here’s a look at some of Lawrence’s cooperatives.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS STUDENT HOUSING ASSOCIATION Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photos

UKSHA is made up of three student housing cooperatives in Lawrence: the Ad Astra House at 1033 Ky., the Sunflower House at 1406 Tenn., and the Olive House at 1614 Ky. Aaron Paden, executive director of UKSHA, said each house independently manages itself and works as a group.

A benefit of the system is that the houses are democratically run and decisions are made as a group, he said.

“It’s actually students getting together and deciding to run a business together,” Paden said.

He also said that unlike other student housing, the students living in the cooperatives take pride in where they live and treat the space with respect. As a result, the cooperatives rarely present problems to the Oread neighborhood.

However, Paden said, the Ad Astra house did have an issue with a weed ordinance. The house has a garden in the front yard and the students were growing Jerusalem artichokes, which are “beastly looking,” he said. But a weed ordinance seems like a tame complaint for a group of college students.

“In terms of a problem to have with a group of students

living together, the fact that their garden is out of control is a preferable problem to have,” he said.

LAWRENCE COMMUNITY NURSERY SCHOOL Laurie Dale Marshall, director of LCNS, 645 Ala., said cooperatives are a way to utilize the skills and talents of its members. Marshall said the beauty of a preschool cooperative is that parents have a desire and willingness to participate in their child’s education.

Before Marshall was director of LCNS, her children attended preschool there. She said it was comforting to know that there were always parents around interacting with her children.

With only four paid employees, Marshall said the preschool relies heavily on cooperative involvement. For example, parents help out at the preschool five to eight times a semester, on average.

“What keeps us going is that cooperative spirit,” Marshall said.

Paden, the director of UKSHA, has two children, both of whom have attended preschool at the LCNS. “Because it’s cooperatively run,” he said, “the parents get together and kind of decide the tone of the school.”

THE MERC The Merc, 901 Iowa, is a consumer co-op, so it is owned by the people who shop there. Rita York, general manager of The Merc, said 56 percent of sales are to owners. There are 5,900 owners, and a share costs $75.

York said The Merc has been a cooperative since 1974.

A group of people in Lawrence wanted better and easier access to local foods.

“These people banded together and created something that wasn’t going to happen unless it was through cooperation,” York said. “So I think that’s really cool.”

The Merc also belongs to the National Cooperative Grocery Association, or NCGA, which is a cooperative of cooperatives. This allows the stores to come together and

7 COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES Cooperatives around the world generally operate under the same seven principles.

These principles were adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance in 1995.

York said she also values the significance cooperatives play in their communities. One of the seven cooperative principles is concern for community. Each cooperative affects its community in a different way.

“It’s really tailored to the needs for the community,” York said.

MAINSTREET CREDIT UNION Mainstreet Credit Union has been around since 1953, though not always under the same name. According to its website, the cooperative financial institution has only operated under its current name since February 2010.

Before, it was the Credit Union of Johnson County. Before that, it was the Johnson County Teachers’ Credit Union. And before that, it was the Northeast Johnson County Teachers’ Credit Union.

In all, Mainstreet serves 16 counties in Kansas and Missouri. In 2005, Mainstreet began serving the entire

Kansas City Metropolitan Area.

Its branches in Lawrence, at 1001 E. 23rd Street and 901 Iowa (inside The Merc), opened in 2008 after a merger with Free State Credit Union. Other mergers outside of Johnson County in 2009 led the cooperative to rename the credit union.

According to its website, Mainstreet Credit Union has more than 52,000 members.

“Yeah, absolutely. I’m all about local food. I don’t see any drawback to it.”

“Probably not right now, while I’m in college.”

Taylor Atwood, student, Lawrence

PINE TREE TOWNHOUSES Pine Tree, 149 Pinecone Dr., is a membership cooperative just north of 23rd Street and Haskell Avenue. According to its website, prospective tenants buy a membership to the cooperative. Rather than rent, members pay a monthly carrying charge.

Living in cooperative townhouses is different from owning or renting a home in a variety of ways. For example, each household votes in the election of a board of directors, which creates policies and community standards. Residents of the cooperative don’t sign mortgages and don’t have a personal liability.

Additionally, if residents have to move, the cooperative may help the resident resell for a small fee. Also, improvements made to the townhouse might be credited and residents can get a return on their investment.

Pine Tree also has a communal garden, playground and community center. However, it does not allow pets.

“Yes. We have chickens so we do some of that now. I’m sick of bad food, so it’d be great.”

Kids can experience, not just watch, ‘Farfalle’

BY CHANSI LONG

D

ancers in bright green suits twirl, tuck and roll to the whimsical sounds of a xylophone. Popping noises resound through the room: it sounds sort of like a bunch of giant soap bubbles bursting at once. Then there are the crackling noises, a shell breaking.

And the colors — bright blues, greens and yellows — swathed across the stage.

In “Farfalle,” Italian for “butterflies,” music, sounds, dance and colorful lights are all combined to tell the story of the butterfly.

From egg, larva, pupa to adult, the life cycle of the butterfly is conveyed through an immersive multimedia experience that includes audience interaction. The show will hit the Lied Center stage April 10-14.

“The kids will get a chance to move about the set and see how their movement makes things happen,” says Anthea Scouffas, director of education for the Lied Center. “When the butterfly flaps its wings, the kids can touch it and can hear the wings beat. It can be pretty magical.”

“Farfalle” has origins in Italy. It is the brainchild of Teatro di Piazza o d’Occasione, an interactive theatre company for children. Each of TPO’s shows offers a special environment that allows children to manipulate and become involved in the show.

There will only be 150 people present at any given “Farfalle” performance, and everyone will be seated upon the stage to enhance intimacy and encourage interaction with the dancers.

In “Farfalle” the dancers cavort across a multimedia carpet covering hidden sensors that are activated by touch. These sensors create both sound and images on the stage as the story on the life cycle of the butterfly unfolds.

Davide Venturini, director of “Farfalle,” refers to the visual spectacle that occurs when the sensors are activated as “painting.” And at different times, dancers will pull certain children on stage so they can become a part of the performance and “paint.”

“Whenever the kids are on the stage … together with the dancers they can paint and make music through movements and touching the carpets,” says Venturini.

“This is … similar to the exploration inside a real garden. The kids explore and play together. The idea is to create a sensible environment … to get the kids involved in the performance, but in a very

natural way.”

Scouffas has watched two other TPO performances: “Kundar” and “Flatbush.” A fan of TPO, she says the amalgamation of dance, visuals, music and theatre results in a very special experience. And though children are the principle target, people of all ages could enjoy the show.

“I would suggest that grandparents should invite their children to go with them and bring the grandchildren along as well — everyone will get something from this unique, beautiful work,” she says.

But Venturini says “Farfalle” feels more like something you’re actually a part of than something you’re merely watching take place.

“This is something that will really touch your inside,” he says. “It’s more of an experience, than a show to watch.”

Special to the Journal-World

“FARFALLE” IS AN INTERACTIVE SHOW using music, dance and lights to illustrate the story of a butterfly’s life cycle. Children at each show will get to take part in the act. “Farfalle” will be at the Lied Center this month, April 10-14.

“This is something that will really touch your inside.

It’s more of an experience, than a show to watch.”

Strategies to overcome body dissatisfaction

U

nfortunately, how most of us relate to our body is more like Simon Cowell than Paula Abdul.

Rarely do we give ourselves a standing ovation, and more often than not we give ourselves standard put-downs.

In this country, our capacity for disliking our body is greater than ever and getting worse. The results of body dissatisfaction are poor emotional and physical health as we compensate for our dissatisfaction with extreme diets and exercise regimens, or use alcohol or drugs to bury our unhappiness.

A Georgia State University study showed that there is an increased suicide risk among teens with body dissatisfaction even when at a healthy weight.

As a society, we are lost at sea when it comes to addressing issues related to food and body. It therefore becomes the job of the individual to find an alternative way to deal with a cultural problem. As parents, we have a very important job of modeling healthy behaviors for our kids.

Regardless of how you came to your own body dissatisfaction, here are some ways to help ease the discomfort. As we move toward summer and the inevitable increase in body parts on display, it is a good time to practice some new ways to relate to your body.

First, be realistic about your body.

Look at your genetic blueprint: That is something you cannot change. Focus on making the most of what you have, genetically speaking. You don’t need a perfect body to have a happy, fulfilling life.

See your body as a whole. Stop focusing on body parts and objectifying yourself. See your body as an instrument rather than an ornament. Focus on appreciating what your body can do for you rather than what it looks like.

Catch your negative self-talk and change it to something neutral or positive.

Mind MATTERS

JENA AND ED BLOCH For example, if you dislike the look of your legs, focus on what they are there for: “I can appreciate their strength and ability to get me where I need to go.”

Accept where you are today. Your body will not change much in a day, so make it the best today possible. Obsessing about things you cannot change today only drains your energy and takes away from the moment.

Think of ways you can be more loving toward your body. Clean out your closet and only leave the things that fit.

Why make yourself feel bad by having clothes that are too small and serve only to remind you of where you are not? Treat your body to a luxurious bath, or go to the swimming pool.

Some people avoid swimming pools due to poor body image. Think of it this way: You would not tell your child they could not go swimming because they gained some weight. That would be cruel. Why do that to yourself? Again, treat yourself with unconditional respect.

Avoid the scale. So many of our cli-

Why do that to yourself? ents determine the mood of their day by the number on the scale. If you are trying to lose weight, work with a nutritionist and have her monitor your progress. You don’t need to know the number, just that what you are doing is working.

Exercise to help your mood, not to solely lose weight. Find exercise that you enjoy. Think of exercise as something that assists with the health and functioning of your body rather than as a means to weight loss. (If you exercise, the weight loss will happen without the need to obsess about it).

Avoid triggers that fuel obsession.

Don’t talk about weight or food with friends. Be careful of the magazines you read that portray women as objects. Explore the website Dove.com to fuel a more positive body image.

If you died tomorrow, what would you want your epitaph to say? “She was obsessed with her appearance and was able to stay at a low body weight,“ or “She was passionate about life, creative, a good friend and a loving parent“? People like you for inner qualities much more than outer ones. (And beware someone who likes you strictly for your outer qualities).

And last, but very important, is don’t compare! Keep reminding yourself that what another person does with his or her food, or what he or she looks like, has no impact on your life happiness.

Focus on being you rather than being someone else. Try not to compete with others. Focus on connecting rather than competing.

STYLE off the cuff

By bringing together original American-made fabrics, traditional outerwear and workwear garment details, and modern patterns and fits, Woolrich Woolen Mills captures that nostalgic feel of truly vintage pieces while also remaining relevant to a more fashion-conscious audience.

Heritage revival brings back classic fit, construction

L

ast month I talked about traditional style and the resurgence of a classic, Americana style.

While many would argue (correctly) that such style and focus on quality American manufacturing never stopped being relevant, it has undeniably made a mainstream resurgence over the past several years.

There are manufacturers like Levi’s that continue to produce the iconic, new-again staples from the ’50s and ’60s, and they are thriving by going through their archives and recreating those pieces stitch for stitch.

In each piece you’ll find an inherent timelessness in fit, fabric and style. While they may not be offering anything truly original, the stuff just works, and it always will.

There are also, however, other manufacturers infusing this heritage revival with modern fits and splashes of unconventional patterns and colors. Woolrich Woolen Mills, for example, is a company as steeped in tradition as anyone around.

Woolrich Woolen Mills is a collection born out of a collection dedicated to using fabrics constructed in the original Woolrich mills, which date back to the origin of the Woolrich company in 1830’s Pennsylvania.

By bringing together original American-made fabrics, traditional outerwear and workwear garment details, and modern patterns and fits, WWM captures that nostalgic feel of truly vintage pieces while also remaining relevant to a more fashion-conscious audience.

And while these pieces from designers and manufacturers such as these may not have the stylistic staying power of truly traditional pieces, they offer the same construc-

So what does it actually look like? All this talk of melding vintage with modern, and I haven’t offered up any examples!

GQ offers up a nice review of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection from WWM that serves well to encapsulate this vintage-meets-modern ideology. See it at ljw.bz/GU9u8A.

You’ll find each look offers up a certain familiarity, almost making you feel as if you have seen it before. The fits, however, have been updated and the patterns are fresh and experimental. You’ll find jackets that are classic enough to fit into anyone’s existing wardrobe alongside a surprising set of African-print shirts and scarves.

There is that definite sense of higher-fashion in these daring combinations, but it doesn’t reach so far as to turn away someone uninterested in today’s revolving door of trends.

Mark McNairy, the designer behind the WWM line for the past several seasons, also has his own line of footwear that serves as another great example of mixing classic shoe styles with fresh colors and details. See his collections at ljw.bz/GU9pBK. Here you’ll find a classic tassel loafer revamped with navy suede and a bright yellow sole, a green suede chukka and a black pebble-grain brogue, all of which will surely turn some heads. But pair them with the right classic pair of dark denim or chino and you’ll have the perfect modern addition to an already classic outfit.

Within any collection that attempts to mix modern fashion with style that has existed in its own steadfast right for decades, you are going to find pieces that you love and pieces that you hate. Nonetheless, everyone can appreciate reinvention — whether it’s for paying homage to our collective history or for forging new ground and creating a new page in menswear’s ever-growing history books.

An enjoyable season

River City Jules

O

ctober 14, 2011. A leather-clad coach Bill Self rode into Late Night at the Phog, center court in Allen Fieldhouse, on a custom-designed motorcycle to usher in a new season of Kansas basketball.

He made two things very clear that night. One, I should immediately invest in a pair of leather chaps for my husband, and two, we needed to be realistic about our expectations this year and just enjoy watching this new team grow.

Well, as of this point, I have yet to see my husband in leather chaps, but I have very much enjoyed watching this team grow.

I have enjoyed watching fellow Bishop Miege High School alumnus Travis Releford make his mark. I have enjoyed watching Connor Teahan move from bench to court and watching Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson save me from cardiac arrest at the end of our closest games. And who among us hasn’t watched with awe as Thomas Robinson slowly but surely regained the glow in his smile that was stripped away so suddenly last year?

I have enjoyed watching the “MIZZOU”s fade from my Facebook newsfeed these past weeks and enjoyed the front page photos of our team, our guys we have grown to love for simply agreeing with us that there is no better jersey to wear than that of our century-old Jayhawks.

The fan in me has delighted in every exciting moment, just like I did in ’88 when my parents piled 14 people into their minivan and rushed us to the Plaza in time to high-five Danny and the Miracles as they exited the bus from Kemper Arena. And just like I did in ’91 when Kansas again made it to the championship game (except this time I did not get a tattoo). And again in ’93, ’02, ’03 and in ’08 when I continued

JULIE DUNLAP

the tradition of over-stuffing a minivan and partying downtown like it was 1988.

But the mother in me worries my children are too spoiled by this chronic success to really understand it. They watch us cheer over each game, happy the good guys are winning but, I fear, missing the real magnitude of each win throughout the dance.

They don’t know what a rare triumph it is to move from 64 to just four, and they certainly don’t appreciate the way each game takes us away from the stresses of our days.

But we do.

We know that, in an instant, everything that is right-side-up in our world can be turned upside-down. And we know that when an unexpected occasion for unbridled celebration suddenly arises, we are drawn to that joy like the hungry to a banquet.

Someday my kids will look around at the world with eyes that revere the beauty in a group of young overachievers marching to New Orleans against expectations, giving Jayhawks worldwide a reason to wave the wheat.

But until then, I am going to follow coach Self’s advice and just enjoy watching them grow.

If a lawn is out of balance, adding soil amendments in early or mid-spring can get you on the path to greener pastures.

Amending lawns with lime or sulfur

G

rowing a thick and luscious lawn can be a bit of a balancing act.

Typical tall fescues and other turf type grasses grow best in pH neutral soils. On a scale of 1 to 14, a pH of 6.5 – 7.0 is the proper level for a healthy lawn.

If a lawn is out of balance, adding soil amendments in early or mid-spring can get you on the path to greener pastures.

Step 1: Have the soil professionally tested. Home testing methods may not be accurate enough to base a lawn care program on. Start with a professional test and compare it with the home test results to create a baseline for future home test readings.

Step 2: Soils with a pH level below 6.5 can be amended with granulated lime.

Horticultural lime is a fast-acting powder and meant to be used in garden areas.

Powdered-type limes are more difficult to spread and can potentially burn existing grasses. Dolomitic or pelletized limes are the best choice for amending turf type grasses.

Step 3: To raise the pH in existing lawns, spread 35 pounds of granulated lime over 1,000 square feet of lawn. Use a broadcast spreader to apply the amendment evenly and then water it in. A 35-pound

application should raise the soil’s pH by 0.5 point. For lawns with a pH below 5.8, spread 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet in the spring. Avoid spreading more than 50 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet at any given time, and do not spread lime in conjunction with nitrogen fertilizers.

Step 4: To lower the pH in existing lawns, use ammonium sulfate or urea based fertilizers. Apply the fertilizer per manufacturer’s directions. The use of ammonium sulfate or urea based fertilizers will gradually lower soil pH over the course of 3 years to 5 years.

Step 5: Use agricultural sulfur to quickly lower the pH in bare soils or existing lawns. In the spring, apply five pounds of sulfur per 1,000 square feet of grass and water it into the existing lawn. For bare spots, spread sulfur and then mix it into the top six inches of soil.

The health and appearance of lawns can be significantly improved by balancing the pH levels in soil. Too much lime or sulfur will damage lawns. Avoid over application of any soil amendment.

When Fido needs more help than you can provide

BY WILLIAM HAGEMAN, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

*

t’s one thing to work with little Spanky in the yard and through the judicious use of treats teach him to sit up or roll over.

But bigger challenges — digging, aggression, mindless barking and the like — require more than a Milk-Bone.

Sometimes you need a professional.

First, though, talk to a veterinarian to be sure there are no physical issues causing the behavior. The next step is hiring a trainer or behaviorist.

“Take into account the problem you’re having or what you want,” says Kristen Collins, director of anti-cruelty behavior services with the ASPCA’s Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team. “Say you have an untrained dog or a dog that’s rowdy when it greets people ... (if you want) to treat behaviors, a trainer is your best bet.

But (for) fear, anxiety or aggression, your best bet is to go with certified behaviorists.”

The choices: There are four main categories of pet professionals: trainers (or pet psychologist, pet therapist or some variation); certified professional dog trainers; applied animal behaviorists (certified and associate certified); and veterinary behaviorists (vets who go beyond vet school training and are certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists). Certification is a big deal, Collins says, and should be from an unbiased group.

The search: There are three certification councils you can consult: for trainers, the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (ccpdt. org); for applied behaviorists, the Animal Behavior Society (certifiedanimalbehaviorist.com); for a boardcertified veterinary behaviorist, the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (dacvb.org).

“Find someone in your area,” Collins says, “then go to your vet and ask if they have any experience working with them.”

Also consider education, experience,

recommendations and references.

Collins recommends at least two or three thorough interviews over the phone. “Ask about specific experience solving problems like yours, their general education,” she says.

And, she adds, seek “trainers who emphasize reward-based training (and) positive reinforcement. Make sure they use humane training equipment. Ask specifically about the methods the trainer will use to make sure you’re OK with them.”

If you’re considering a group class, ask to watch one. If a trainer says no, look elsewhere. They should welcome you to sit in, she says.

Cost: Eight-week sessions can cost anywhere from $60 to $200.

In-home lessons cost more because you’ll get personal attention. Group classes are almost always less expensive. And even the classes at large national pet stores have benefits.

The ASPCA offers an excellent — and free — pet behavior database at aspcabehavior.org.
