kcarpenter@kansan.com There wasnt a shortage of hype leading up to the first meeting between Kansas and Missouri on Feb. 4 in Columbia. But unlike many heavily publicized games these days, the first installment of the Border Showdown lived up to its buildup, with the Tigers pulling away with a 74-71 victory. Now with the Big 12 regular season championship on the line Saturday afternoon, the hype is back. The Allen Fieldhouse concourse looks more like an emergency shelter with the blankets and mattresses of eager campers strewn across the floor since Sunday mornings lottery. The Baylor game this year was pretty good, coach Bill Self said. There have been so many that have been good, but I think this one, with our fans, will have a different feel. Junior guard Travis Releford said his team gave the first game away and thinks the key for a different outcome this time around is execution and defense, two things that werent present in the final two minutes of play in Missouri Arena. Were playing for a Big 12 title, and this is a big game for us. Releford said. The rivalry, the title and they beat us at their place. There are a lot of factors to it. The Jayhawks will have history on their side, as the Tigers havent won in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1998-1999 season. The last time they faced off as top-5 opponents in Allen Fieldhouse, however, No. 2 Missouri upset

Jayhawks, Tigers prepare for possible last game

No. 1 Kansas 77-71 on Feb. 13, 1990. Fast forward 22 seasons, and Bill Self is looking for any edge possible to avenge the loss to the Tigers. Hell have help from Kansas State, who recently completed a season sweep of Missouri. Self said looking at the film of those two games is on his to-do list. Self applauded Kansas States ability to consistently get the ball inside and stay aggressive throughout the games against Missouri, something his team wasnt able to do in Columbia. Junior center Jeff Withey attempted just one shot and was held scoreless against the Tigers while having trouble against the smaller lineup, playing for just 22 minutes. I think there are a lot of keys to Jeff staying on the floor, Self said. One is that he needs to be more aggressive and be more of a presence. Withey echoed those sentiments and said his confidence has grown a tremendous amount since then. Which team makes the better adjustments before Saturdays 3 .p.m. tipoff remains to be seen, but some things are certain. I think it be will the best that Ive seen it in my four years here, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of the atmosphere, according to kuathletics.com. Its going to be crazy, but Im excited and Im ready for it. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

Only one group abandons camp site

ethan padway
epadway@kansan.com Before even the gods wake up, students descend on the north concourse of Allen Fieldhouse to ensure their camping group keeps its spot in line for the Missouri game. With this contest set to be the last tilt in the foreseeable future of a rivalry that predates the advent of collegiate athletics, students are desperate to secure their seat and witness history. I think its pretty crazy, Colin Vipond, a freshman from Omaha, said. Being from Nebraska, its all about football. Now its all about basketball. I was in shock when I even first heard about camping. Normally, the camping is not as intense. But for Missouri, everyone is trying to get the best seats possible. I just know usually within the first few days people drop like flies, but only one group has dropped out ahead of us so far, Vipond said. The mens and womens basketball teams are known to come around and deliver pizza to the hungry campers some nights. One night, junior forward Kevin Young pushed junior forward Thomas Robinson around in a laundry hamper as the players delivered pizza. It was good, Kyle Haley, a junior from Hays, said about interacting with the players. Its different I guess, knowing theyre my age. Its kind of unique that theyre as popular as they are. Haley got to split a Pizza Hut cheese pizza, delivered to him by junior guard Elijah Johnson, with another camper. But pizza time is not the only time the campers can catch a glimpse of the players. Im looking at the gods of our school, Tansey Schoonover, a freshman from Roswell, Ga, said as students gathered to watch the mens basketball team walk to practice. Students try to maintain sanity during hours of camping. Viponds group pitched in together to purchase an air mattress that stands over a foot tall. I try to attempt doing homework, but it doesnt really work, Vipond said. So, basically just surf the Internet. Sometimes I sleep, if you have an early shift, but its really hard on this floor. Worse than waking up early is the fear that a camper might oversleep his or her shift. In her freshman year, Maggie Hirschi, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., woke up at 5:55 a.m. for her 6 a.m. camping shift at the Fieldhouse before a game against Texas. She rushed over from her Oliver Hall dorm room but arrived too late, and her group lost its number three camping spot. The north concourse will continue to bustle with student activity until numbers are handed out three hours before tip-off on Saturday. Mizzou ones just are always fun because you see the dedication students have to come to these games, Hirschi said. Edited by Ian Cummings

f youre one of the more than 15,000 fans blessed enough to be at the season finale of the Border Showdown tomorrow, do yourself a favor: take a brief timeout from screaming at the top of your lungs to soak in the atmosphere. Take a mental picture of the raucous student section jumping up and down. Appreciate the historic arena as it sways back and forth from the jet-like decibel level. Embrace the unconditional love for the Jayhawks and the unabashed hatred of the Tigers. Keep those memories somewhere you will remember forever, because if a group of powerful men in suits and women in pantsuits get their way, it will be the last time it ever happens. Kansas vs. Missouri is one of the most impassioned rivalries of all time, ranking up there with Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier, Pepsi vs. Coke and Quin Snyder vs. ethics. But the Border War is on the cusp of becoming the Border Cold War, where battles will not take place on football fields and basketball courts but rather on talkradio shows and message boards. Bragging rights will be nonexistent when the head-to-head battles cease, leaving fans to toss grenades across the states border in the form of tacky YouTube videos. Through both schools actions, a Border Cold War is almost guaranteed. And by abandoning a rivalry that dates back to the Civil War, both schools are participating in a mutually assured destruction of their legacies. Hatred is what will make Saturdays environment breathtaking. While the hate will not subside when Missouri splits for the Southeastern Conference, both teams will lose an opportunity to display it on a national stage. And like it or not, hating Missouri is one of the main components of Kansas identity. Likewise, hating Kansas is a critical part of Missouris makeup. Kansas without Missouri is like Batman without The Joker or the Hatfields without the McCoys. Would anyone really care about one without the other? Thanks to a need for attention from one side and a stubbornness from the other, we are about to find out. Both teams will continue winning basketball games. Missouri might even win a championship in the SEC. But left in the wake of Saturdays game will be a tremendous void that a hundred games against West Virginia or South Carolina could never fill. When the game ends, win or lose, take one last mental picture of the aftermath. Because if the powerholders get their way, that memory is all your children and grandchildren may ever know of one of the greatest rivalries ever played. Edited by Taylor Lewis

POLITICS

Budget plans vary vastly among Republican presidential hopefuls

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
WASHINGTON Massive tax cuts proposed by GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would cause the national debt to explode while Mitt Romneys budget plan could generate red ink in line with current projections, according to a new study released Thursday. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a Washington-based budget watchdog group, estimates that the wrenching budget cuts proposed by Ron Paul would lessen the flow of red ink compared with current policies but still leave the government running a sizable deficit. The candidates budget plans provide a sharp contrast with President Barack Obama, who released his latest fiscal blueprint just last week. Like Obama, the GOP candidates have the luxury of suspending political reality and assuming lawmakers would quickly enact their ideas into law. That translates into a tax code in which taxes on investments and capital gains are sharply reduced or eliminated. Each candidate would eliminate inheritance taxes on large estates. And tax rates on individuals would be cut as well all in the face of deficits that economists say would eventually cripple the economy. The results, according to the

study, would be higher deficits, except in the case of Paul, whose spending cuts dwarf anything being considered by his three rivals. According to the study, Gingrichs plan would add $7 trillion to the nations debt over the coming nine years almost doubling the deficits that would be recorded if the government basically ran on autopilot. Santorums plan would add $4.5 trillion over the period, or about $500 billion to the deficit every year on average. By contrast, Romneys proposal would add $250 billion to the deficit over nine years, though that estimate was generated before he unveiled a new tax reform plan this week that could add considerably to the deficit. And Paul, whose budget plans include eliminating five Cabinet departments, immediately ending operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and sharply cutting federal programs like Medicaid and food stamps, would reduce the deficit by $2.2 trillion. He is the only candidate whose spending cuts exceed the amount of revenue lost by cutting taxes. Last week, Obama proposed tax increases of almost $2 trillion over the coming decade.

Islamist sect attacks, destroys checkpoint in Nigerian city

KANO, Nigeria Multiple explosions rocked a highway checkpoint in Nigerias second-largest city, witnesses said Wednesday, just over a month after a radical Islamist sect claimed an attack there that left at least 185 people dead. The attacks raise fears that the sect, Boko Haram, is taking root in the northern city of Kano. Resident Ali Garba, a 32-year-old bus driver, said he heard at least six explosions as he was preparing to head to the mosque for dawn prayers in a densely populated Kano neighborhood. After that, he said, he heard gunfire for about two hours. By the time he left his house, the military had cordoned his neighborhood to prepare for searches, forcing him back into his home. The attack occurred during curfew hours, he said, likely reducing its impact. There were no casualties and four suspects were arrested during searches, said military spokesman Lt. Ikedichi Iweha, who declined to comment further. Boko Haram, whose name means Western education is sacrilege in the local Hausa language, is carrying out increasingly sophisticated and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law and avenge Muslim killings in Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people. Meanwhile Wednesday, authorities in the northeast Nigerias Yobe state blamed the sect for the shooting death of one man and the wounding of another. This year, the feared sect is blamed for killing at least 304 people, according to an Associated Press count. At least 185 people died in Kano last month in the groups deadliest assault yet.

Car bomb kills 12, wounds 32 at Pakistani bus terminal

PESHAWAR, Pakistan Twelve are dead after a powerful car bomb tore through a dozen vehicles waiting to transport passengers from the city of Peshawar to other areas of the country at a bus terminal Thursday. Some of the minibuses were blackened and destroyed. There were 32 wounded, including women and children, officials said. Violence has dropped off in Peshawar and some other areas of Pakistan over the past year following offensives against the Pakistani Taliban in the northwest. But bombings and shootings still occur with regularity, especially in the border regions, and no one is predicting victory against the militants. No group claimed responsibility for the blast. Some of the minibuses were blackened and destroyed. The dead included two children. Peshawar is located close to the Afghan border, the main sanctuary for Pakistani Taliban fighters at war with the government. The car bomb was loaded with nearly 100 pounds of explosives, city police chief Siraj Ahmed said. Its unclear why the bus terminal was targeted. Most militant attacks are aimed at security force or government targets, but markets and other

Avalanches kill, trap soldiers at a Kashmir military camp

SRINAGAR, India Two massive avalanches in snowbound regions of Indian-controlled Kashmir killed at least 16 soldiers, and at least three others were feared trapped in a military camp that was partially buried under snow, an official said Thursday. Col. K.S. Grewal said three of the soldiers were killed in the mountainous area of Sonamarg and 13 were killed at a large army camp in Dawar, a town close to the heavily militarized cease-fire line that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Hundreds of thousands of Indian troops are stationed along this de-facto border. Both avalanches took place late Wednesday night, and state officials warned more may occur in mountain areas. Rescue workers in Dawar pulled out 13 survivors who were being treated at a local army hospital, Grewal said. Three soldiers there were still believed to be trapped under the snow, he said. Army rescue teams from other parts of the region were trying to ASSocIAtED PRESS reach the Dawar army camp but A Kashmiri villager slips as he clears were delayed by heavy fog, snow snow off the roof of his house in Gagangeri, India, Thursday. and cloud cover, Grewal said.

Poland wants US to return Holocaust barrack display

WARSAW, Poland Polish and U.S. officials are engaged in intense talks to determine the fate of a sensitive object: a barrack that once housed doomed prisoners at the Nazis Auschwitz death camp and is now on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Poland is demanding the return of the artifact, which has been on loan to the Washington museum for more than 20 years and is an important object in its permanent exhibition. But the U.S. museum is resisting the demand, saying the valuable object shouldnt be moved partly because it is too fragile. Due to the barracks size and the complexity of its installation, removing and transporting it to Poland presents special difficulties, including potentially damaging the artifact, the U.S. Holocaust museum said in a statement. Under a law passed in 2003 that safeguards cultural heritage in wars, any historic object on loan abroad must return to Poland every five years for inspection. While Poland appears open to renewing the loan, it says the barracks must return at least temporarily. The director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, Piotr Cywinski, accuses the U.S. institution of violating the terms of a 20-year loan on the barracks, saying the loan expired in 2009. We have indicated many times that this half of the barracks must return, that there is no other solution in accordance with the law, Cywinski said. Its a very important object, not just for Washington but for the integrity of Birkenau, the last authentic site of Holocaust remembrance among all the major death camps.

Amendment to protect students privacy rights

RICHMOND, Va.Once the word transvaginal became a big joke on Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, it wasnt long before Virginias conservative Republicans realized they had overreached on abortion. Gov. Bob McDonnell and GOP state lawmakers Wednesday abandoned a bill requiring women to undergo an intrusive type of sonogram before an abortion an abrupt reversal that demonstrated the power of political satire and illustrated again how combustible the issue of womens reproductive health has become over the past few weeks.

Student Senates Rights Committee passed a bill Wednesday night with amendments to the Code of Rights and Regulations that officially extends and modernizes students expression and privacy rights. Originally, the bill also had an amendment that would have extended the universitys power to discipline students for off-campus activities that has had or may have an adverse affect on the health, safety, or security of any member of the university community. Committee chairman Aaron Harris spoke against the amendment, saying it wasnt necessary due to the override of federal law. He thought the amendment was an attempt by the university to limit students rights. The committee voted to strike out the amendment and pass the rest of the bill. The committee also rejected a bill that would have eliminated Student Senate seats reserved for Greek organizations and organizations that arent registered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.

She suggested he had the wrong restaurant. But Summers maintained his story, growing more confrontational after Brant told him she didnt believe him. He told her he was starting and that was final, investigators said in the complaint. She was able to get Summers out of the office and close her door. She called a hiring manager who confirmed Summers didnt work for Dennys.

Asner and Harper, who starred in the 1970s Mary Tyler Moore series, have joined other high profile actors including Ed Harris and Martin Sheen in filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court Wednesday seeking an injunction to stop SAG from calling for a vote on the proposed merger with AFTRA. The suit alleges that the SAG board breached its fiduciary duties to conduct an actuarial impact study detailing the effects of the proposed merger on health and pension benefits of SAG members. SAGs board overwhelmingly approved a plan to merge with the smaller actors union, arguing that doing so would give them more leverage in negotiations with the studios and end years of turf wars between the two labor groups. A minority of board members, among them Asner and Harris, have maintained that the proposed combination would weaken health and pension benefits for SAGs 125,000 members, about 40,000 of whom also belong to AFTRA. We have spent almost two months negotiating with SAG in an effort to get them to present the truth regarding this merger plan, Los Angeles attorney David Casselman said in a statement. In a statement, SAG said the lawsuit was without merit. Any suggestion that the members have not been fully and fairly informed is preposterous, SAG said. We have scheduled more than 50 informational meetings across the country, have posted all of the merger documents on the website for over 4 weeks, and we have afforded the merger opponents the right to send an opposition statement at the unions expense as part of the referendum package ... This filing is simply a public relations stunt that follows a clear pattern by some of the plaintiffs of filing unsuccessful lawsuits against their own union. We do not believe that the members will be fooled.

Judging gig reveals Sterns sensitive side

MCCLaTChy TribuNe
LOS ANGELES Howard Stern came to Los Angeles last Friday to begin his tenure as Americas Got Talents newest judge. And, by his own admission, this may not be the Howard Stern most people expected to see. There were times when I was downright compassionate, Stern told KNBC-TV outside the seasons first auditions, held at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A. Stern is making the crosscountry commute so he can record both the auditions and his Sirius XM satellite show in New York. He was back on the air on Tuesday raving about how much he loves his new gig. Once the audition process is over, the show itself will tape in New York City, to accommodate Sterns schedule. Longtime Stern fans no doubt got an extra kick hearing him praise his new work family at NBCUniversal. Stern was famously fired from the radio station WNBC-AM in New York in 1985. Stern said at the L.A. audition that hes not trying to play into any expectations about him. You dont want to be a stereotype as a judge, he said. You dont want to be, Oh, youre replacing Piers; youve got to be the mean guy, or youve got to be the guy that always hits the buzzer. I have no preconceived notion, and Ive got news for you: If you go in there and watch this taping, it is insane. Thats not to say Stern has gone all warm and Randy Jackson-ish on us. Hes still got some bite. As he explained, Its a little weird, the first day out, I buzzed a 9-year-old kid. The kid was adorable, but I did it, man, youve got to do it. I said, Look, youre cute, youre adorable, but, goodness gracious, you dont belong on Americas Got Talent, and you just feel like the devil himself. The Parents Television Council has raised objections to Sterns addition to the program and stories like that are no doubt giving them fits. Stern told his radio audience that Americas Got Talent has auditions in San Francisco this weekend and a New York audition on Feb. 27.

Crystal makes perfect Oscar host

MCCLaTChy TribuNe
NEW YORK So, you want to host the Oscars? Fine. Here are the requirements: You must be absolutely fearless, smart, facile, topical, extremely funny, a good singer, decent dancer and possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the movie history, business and stars. You must be reverent of the institution and the 3,400 powerful, anxious, highly neurotic people sitting in front of you, but not a toady either. Irreverence is essential just not Gervais-ian irreverence. Being a star of a hit movie doesnt hurt, but failing that being one of the biggest comics in the world will suffice. Finally, pay particularly close attention to the person who will step onto the proscenium at the Hollywood and Highland Center Sunday night. He is your template. Billy Crystal was all this and much more during most of the 1990s, when he commanded that stage with as much grace and skill as anyone in Oscar history. Meanwhile, when he first appears Sunday night, cast a quick glance at his tux pocket. If history is a guide, there will be a toothbrush in that pocket the same one a little boy back in the early 50s held up in front of his black-and-white TV set in the family living room at 549 E. Park Ave in Long Beach, N.Y. He pretended to award this Oscar to some gorgeous, glamorous, untouchable god or goddess on the screen. Its a reminder of who he is, and how far hes come. So let that be the last piece of advice. Be sure to bring your toothbrush. Humility and an abiding respect for the past particularly your own arent such bad qualities either. Of course, there really is only one living person on the planet with these qualities. After Bob Hope 18 hosting gigs Crystal is the most successful Oscar host in history, with a total of eight outings between 1990 and 2004. To say he is a beloved part of this institution flirts with understatement. While the Oscars have mostly flailed in the hosting department over this past decade, his stature seems to have grown as evidenced by the standing ovation he received during the four-minute tribute to Hope at last years 83rd Academy Awards ceremony.

That night was like nothing I had ever experienced before, and I dont mean that in a good way. He said he didnt have much experience with dating or sex, and I believed him. With all due respect, I could see why. It was at that moment that I knew any bond between us was destined for failure. I sat in my car and cried after

I took him home the next morning. I was so disappointed in him. I gave myself a few days to blow off some steam then told him I wasnt interested anymore and exactly why. In the end, I didnt split with him only because of sex, but Ill be honest to admit that it made my decision a lot easier. I wasnt satisfied and probably wouldnt ever be, and thats a real reason to end something that already isnt working otherwise. I didnt want to settle for a subpar lover, and no one else should either. This is an issue we have to be realistic about. If our partners dont want to have sex for a certain time, we should compromise and respect that. But a compromise shouldnt be a settlement. We have to decide which is more important: respecting our partners desires or satisfying our own. Sometimes, in order to be truly happy we need to be a little selfish. And if we arent satisfied

with whats happening (or not happening) in the bedroom, we need to communicate with our partners about how to make it a better experience. Breaking up over this issue is only fair when we take the initiative to try to fix it first. But after that point, this issue is a judgment call. Whether we want to deny it or not, sex is important in every relationship. Were civilized now (at least mostly), but its still important to listen to our id. So for our relationships to be healthy, we need to tap into our most basic instincts and finally give them the legitimacy they deserve because after all, you and me, baby, aint nothin but mammals.

protein consumption in US is excessivse

rotein is an essential part of any diet. However, according to a 2008 Center for Disease Control (CDC) survey, the average American eats more than double the amount of protein the body actually requires. This is due to the Great Protein Myth we have been taught to believe. This myths narrative more or less states that large amounts of protein are needed to be strong and healthy and to build muscles, and in America, protein is heavily associated with meat, especially red meat. A meal is made to seem incomplete without an overwhelmingly large portion of meat on the plate; even just one meal of a cheeseburger and milk shake can contain up to three times your daily protein needs. This overconsumption of protein especially from animalbased sources can have dire consequences on your health, leading to problems like obesity

and heart disease. This problem is further exacerbated by the low-quality processed meats most readily available and affordable to most people. The truth is this: The CDC says the average adult female needs 46 grams of protein a day, and the average adult male needs only 56 grams of protein a day. And there are plenty of healthy plant-based sources of it out there to suit vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets.

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portlandia

Portlandia is a show currently airing on the International Film Channel, starring and created by Saturday Night Live veteran Fred Armisen and 90s alternative rocker Carrie Brownstein. The show uses the same sketchcomedy format as SNL, and has a recurring, but not overarching plot. It is constantly making fun of stereotypes of Portlands counter-culture. In the opening skit of season one, Armisen comes back to L.A. to explain to Brownstein how amazing his trip to Portland was. He ends up using an impromptu music video to show Carrie that Portland is a wonderful place that seems to be stuck in the 90s. The opening skit gives the viewer insight on how this whole show is going to work. They are telling everyone that they are going to make fun of the hipster culture of Portland but love it at the same time. I used to make fun of hipster stereotypes as much as the next guy, but the truth is, Im a hipster. I honestly believe anyone who analyzes culture has to be somewhat of a hipster, and thats what Im currently doing with this column. It took me a while to finally understand this or even accept it, but with the help of Portlandia, I think Ill be just fine. Although the show covers many different types of hipster stereotypes, they also make fun

HoW-To

of bleeding heart liberals, hard core punk culture, feminists, Portlands liberal mayor, and anything else you can think of that can be considered somewhat counter-culture. Of course, Portlandia doesnt believe these stereotypes are bad; its just easy to make fun of them by making them extremes. They make fun of Portlands liberalism by making the mayor a stereotype for liberals. When Armisen and Brownstein walk into his office, he doesnt have a chair for his desk; instead he uses a yoga ball. The use of extremes makes the show funny, but at the same time it makes it obviously ridiculous. In one of the recurring skits, Armisen and Brownstein play two women that own a bookstore, and happen to be extreme feminists. They also dont seem to be able to sell any books because they are the most difficult people on the planet. They deliberately go out of their way to not help any customers. This is, of course, not true about

feminists. The extremeness of the show allows it to make fun of many different stereotypes without making a political statement. The reason I love Portlandiaother than that it makes me laugh out loudis that its hipsters making fun of hipsters. The making fun of stereotypes is more of a look at the ridiculous things we do instead of a look at the ridiculous things all hipsters do. Armisen and Brownstein seem to be fully aware of their hipsterdom, and this has allowed me to realize the same about myself. There have been several times that Ive watched Portlandia and noticed that the certain trait of hipster-dom they were making fun of was something I regularly do. There are many things that Portlandia has made fun of, and its like Im looking in the mirror realizing who I really am. Im apart of the counter-culture, much like a lot of college students. Ive been apart of the hardcore punk scene that is so often made fun of. Ive been condescending to someone who hasnt heard of the newest hip band. Thanks to Portlandia. I finally know: I am a hipster, and I belong in Portland.

Research links depression with modern lifestyles

MARShALL SChMIDt
mschmidt@kansan.com Nearly a quarter of 18-to-29-yearolds will suffer from depression in their lives, more than any previous generation, said Stephen Ilardi, associate professor of psychology, at a lecture presented at Douglas County Senior Services Thursday evening. Ilardi pointed to the stresses of modern society as driving this spike in depression. We as a species were never designed for the sedentary, socially isolated, indoor, sleep deprived, fast food, frenzied pace of modern life of the 21st century, Ilardi said. Ilardy discussed how modern-day society eats more and is less physically active than its ancestors, which contributes to the obesity rate of 65 to 75 percent of adults. And although modern society is the safest of any in the history of the world, stress response is far higher now due to greater awareness of tragedy, more perceived social competition and heightened value on success, according to Ilardi. As a result, conditions never experienced by early humans have developed. The conditions include obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, fibromyalgia, cancer, and especially depression, Ilardi said. Ilardi pointed to studies showing that one of every nine adults are treated for depression. The rate of the condition has doubled in the past 20 years, despite increased use of chemical antidepressants. More than 30,000 sufferers of depression

commit suicide, and the younger the person, the higher the probability a person will experience depression in his or her lifetime, according to trends Ilardi cited. However, Ilardis researched treatment, Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, or TLC, offers a method that has seen 75 percent of depression patients recover, compared to approximately 25 percent of those on the waiting list for the research. Ilardi has patients exercise with a trainer or partner and alter their food habits. Our diet is setting us up for a depressed brain, Ilardi said. He recommended less sugar-dense foods and more Omega-3 intake, found in sea fish or wild game. Ilardi also prescribes light exposure, sleep improvement and improved human relationships to combat depression. Half of adults have no close friends, Ilardi said. Jessica Beeson, director of community engagement for the CLAS, sees the findings as relevant to senior and student populations alike. Our aim is to get the research of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences out into the public and making it accessible, Beeson said. Carleen Roberts, Executive Director of the Douglas County Senior Services, was pleased to collaborate with Ilardi to discuss an issue affecting all ages. We want to have more partnership with the University and this professors research and best practices in dealing with depression gives back to the community, Roberts said.

More Holocaust baptisms recorded

ASSOCIAtED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY A new claim has surfaced that the Mormon church posthumously baptized a Holocaust victim, this time Anne Frank. The allegations come just a week after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apologized when it was brought to light that the parents of Holocaust survivor and Jewish rights advocate Simon Wiesenthal were posthumously baptized by church members at temples in Arizona and Utah in late January. Researcher Helen Radkey, a former Mormon who revealed the Wiesenthal baptisms, said this week she found Franks name in proxy baptism records dated Feb. 18, showing the ritual was performed in the Santo Domingo Temple in the Dominican Republic. The Mormon church almost immediately issued a statement, though it didnt mention Frank by name. The Church keeps its word and is absolutely firm in its commitment to not accept the names of Holocaust victims for proxy baptism, the Salt Lake City-based church said. It is distressing when an individual willfully violates the Churchs policy and something that should be understood to be an offering based on love and respect becomes a source of contention. Church officials did not return telephone calls and emails from The Associated Press on Thursday. A spokeswoman for the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam declined comment. Larry Bair, the president of the Mormon temple of Santo Domingo, said Thursday he had looked into the reports but was unable to verify that Frank had been baptized. If it did occur, Bair told the AP, it was a mistake. Frank was a Jewish teenager forced into hiding in Amsterdam during the Holocaust and killed in a concentration camp. Her diary was published in 1947. The news infuriated Jewish leaders, who said the church had previously agreed to bar the pro-

Students can vote by going to RateMyProfessors.com, and they can

vote as many times as they want per day until voting closes. the award is given to one campus radio station each year, and in years past, WVUM at the University of Miami, KUPS at the University of Puget Sound and WiCB at ithaca College won the award. KJHK station manager alex tretbar said its great to see KJHK make it this far in the voting process, because it relied predominantly on fans using social media.

We hope that KJHKs listeners will keep up their intense dedication to the station by seeing KJHK through the next round of voting online, he said in the news release. its always a good thing for KJHK and KU when the station is recognized for honors such as this, and were hoping for even more success with this and other national accolades this year.

It is so offensive in the sense that Holocaust victims were killed solely because they were Jews. And here comes the Mormon church taking away their Jewishness, said Abraham H.

We will also consider whether other Church disciplinary action should be taken.

Google gives engineering students high-tech gift

LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com Google will provide incoming freshmen in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, EECS, with new Android tablets this fall. According to an Information and Telecommunication Technology Center press release, Google donated $50,000 to provide students with tablets to use in course work throughout the next two years. Googles generous donation gives our students in-depth, handson experience in mobile computing, an invaluable skill in todays marketplace, Glenn Prescott, EECS chair, according to the release. Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps and Earth, and his wife, Beth Ellyn, donated $50,000 to provide EECS freshmen with Motorola Xoom tablets in September of last year. McClendon graduated from the University in 1986 with a degree in electrical engineering. Jason Jones, a junior from Overland Park, received an Android tablet at the beginning of this semester, after passing an introductory engineering class. Jones said he thought the tablets were a good way to get students involved in classes. Its like giving students a $500 incentive to pass the classes, he said. Jones said he has to pass two more classes before he can permanently keep the tablet. According the press release, students must pass EECS classes with at least a C to keep the tablet. EECS assistant professor Brian Potetz said in the press release that students can lose sight of the possibilities of what they can do with programming in the midst of learning technical concepts. The school has developed simplified exercises to capture students interest. Potetz and assistant professor Bo Luo use the tablets to teach interactive programming lessons. Its good to see what well be programming on, Jones said. Jones said he has used the tablet for class and personal work and has already started doing basic programming with it. Amanda Parks, a freshman in the EECS program from Kansas City, Kan., said in the release that she had not owned a tablet before receiving one last fall from McClendon in her Programming I class. This opportunity has left me thrilled and excited to be a part of such a great program where the possibilities are limitless, Park said. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

The port remained open but access was restricted, Ogilvie said. The protesters are clearly breaking the law by trespassing on the ship, said Police Inspector Blair Telford in a statement. Lawless, 43, a native New Zealander, is best known for her title role in Xena: Warrior Princess. More recently she has starred in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Lawless said she was taking direct protest action for the first time in her life to protest oil drilling and to draw attention to climate change. Ive got three kids. My sole biological reason for being on this planet is to ensure that they can flourish, and they cant do that in a filthy, degraded environment, she said. We need to stand up while we still can.

Oil-drilling protesters take to the sea in effort to save Arctic

ASSOCIAtED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand Television actress Lucy Lawless climbed aboard an oil-drilling ship Friday in New Zealand, joining six Greenpeace activists to try to stop the vessel from setting off for the Arctic. Speaking from atop a 174-foot drilling tower aboard the Noble Discoverer in Port Taranaki, Lawless told The Associated Press on Friday that wind gusts were making it difficult to stay put but that she and the other protesters planned to stay there for as long as we possibly can. She said she had a little bit of food and some provisions with her. The protesters hung banners from the drilling derrick reading Stop Shell and #SaveTheArctic. The ship is chartered by oil company Shell. Shona Geary, the companys New Zealand spokeswoman, said the ship was due to leave over the weekend for a drilling program in the Arctic but that all operations aboard had come to a stop. We are taking a very calm and measured approach to this, she said. Police spokesman Grant Ogilvie

t seems we constantly try to attribute success to various elements. In basketball, we credit victories to a 10-0 run or an incredible fadeaway jump shot. We blame losses on a questionable foul or a lucky shot by the opponent. But when you get down to the nitty-gritty, what counts the most? The Kansas and Missouri basketball rivalry dates back over a century. Hate probably serves as the most accurate depiction between these opposing universities. Kansas leads the all-time series 171-94 against Missouri. As the rivalry pencils in possibly the final chapter of its story, it becomes clearer what counts the most. Tradition, history, passion, heart, hustle and toughness are all examples of what we take pride in here in Lawrence and they can be summed up in one word: mentality. Why has Kansas won seven straight Big 12 regular season championships? Mentality. Kansas and Missouri fans can argue until theyre blue in the face about who is better, who deserves a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, or who is going to win the Big 12 title. Kansas fans usually bring up a storied tradition and past success against Missouri. Consequently, Missouri fans claim that past success has nothing to do with the current season. But Missouri fans are wrong. Kansas isnt always the most talented team in the league. Kansas isnt always the most experienced team in the league. Kansas schedule doesnt always work in its favor. As a matter of fact, the schedule usually works against the Jayhawks. None of that changes the mentality the Jayhawks carry with them. Kansas is on the verge of clinching its eighth straight Big 12 championship because there is an immeasurable, winning mentality in Lawrence. Lawrence doesnt want to share the Big 12 title with Missouri, a school departing for the Southeastern Conference. It is not acceptable to be second best in the conference because Kansas has built expectations based on past success. But to Missouri, past success doesnt matter? It matters to the players, it matters to the coaches, and it matters to the fans. Thats not to say other programs, like Missouri, dont have a will to win. They just dont have the we arent going to let you take this from us mentality. You can call it arrogant. You can call it a bad attitude. But maybe thats what it takes to win a league eight consecutive times. We win because of the mentality we bring. We bring that mentality because we are Kansas. We are one lucky fan base. I can say Im proud to be a Jayhawk and proud of our past success. Im proud of the mentality that has been built here in Lawrence because of that success. Im not saying we havent had great players, but players come and go. The mentality, however, never leaves. And that is what counts the most. Edited by Max Rothman

Kansas faces undefeated Baylor needing a win to keep its season alive
Kathleen gier
kgier@kansan.com Baylor coach Kim Mulkey and Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson have programs in two different spots right now; Baylor is undefeated at 28-0 and Kansas is 18-9, scrambling for a couple more victories to cement an NCAA appearance. However, the two coaches can communicate on a more personal level since they both recently lost players to season-ending knee injuries. Kansas junior forward Carolyn Davis tore her ACL and dislocated her left knee in the loss to Kansas State on Feb. 12. Then, on Feb. 21, Baylor sophomore guard Shanay Washington tore her ACL. You know the sadness, Mulkey said in a text to Henrickson. Yes, maam I do, Henrickson responded. The two coaches have a great mutual respect, but when their teams tip off at 6:30 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse, sympathy will go out the window, and each group has to adjust to the changes. The Jayhawks have adjusted their offense considerably since the teams last match up on Jan. 28, which they lost 74-46 in Waco, Texas freshman forward Chelsea Gardner has replaced Davis, and with only four active players in the post, the Jayhawks will have a

skruger@kansan.com Coming into the weekend on a seven-game winning streak, the Kansas softball team is looking to increase its wins from last weekends Charlotte Classic in North Carolina. This weekend the team is heading to the UNC Wilmington Seahawk Classic. On Friday , the Jayhawks will play Fairfield University and Gardner-Webb University and will start their Saturday playing the University of North Carolina Wilmington. It feels good to be back in North Carolina because we did well last weekend, said senior Liz Kocon, but bottom line, were just going to go out and give it all we have. As a team, the Jayhawks are hitting .297. Junior outfielders Maggie and Rosie Hull along with Kocon are hitting .400 or better. Maggie is leading the Big 12 with five doubles, and Kocon needs five RBIs to become the all-time leader at Kansas We just need them to do what they do, coach Megan Smith said. All three are very good offensive players and have good presence in the box. If they are on, our whole offense will be successful. Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille will be on the mound for Kansas, rotating with junior Morgan

Fairfield, projected to finish third in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, carried a 31-22 record last season. Sophomore Rebecca Trott will pitch for the Stags. Trott was the No. 2

starter in 2011 and had a 3-5 record. Sophomore infielder Kristen Filicia was ranked second on the team with a .305 batting average and led the team with 40 runs and 28 stolen bases. Gardner-Webb (4-4) is coming off of a win in a doubleheader against North Carolina A&T Feb. 21. The Runnin Bulldogs hit .306 as a team and its pitching staff posts a 2.27 ERA. Sophomore Alyssa Gutierrez will be pitching for the team and leads the team with 10 strikeouts. At bat, junior Melinda Dulokowski leads the teams batting average with a .412 and six RBIs. UNC Wilmington (1-4) is on a four-game losing streak. Freshman Casey Rowlans and senior Amanda Davenport will rotate pitching. Its just like it is every other weekend, Kocon said.

Brittney Griner is the most happy-go-lucky, fun, tender, soft kid youll ever meet in a big body. And just as all in life, we make mistakes and shes never wavered from who she is. Shes the most humble, non-arrogant athlete that has the credentials she has that Ive ever coached.

QUotE oF thE DAY

Baylors Griner deserves our attention

know most people were expecting a brew about Kansas-Missouri and the history of the rivalry or something of that nature. But before that battle theres a pretty good appetizer on tonight when the Kansas womens basketball team takes on No. 1 undefeated Baylor. The Jayhawks dont have much of chance in this game, but its worth your time to watch for one reason. The Lady Bears might have the most dominant player in womens basketball history on their side. Brittney Griner continues to be one of the most fascinating basketball players of our generation. Ive heard comparisons to Lew Alcindor at UCLA in the late 1960s. Thats the same man who had got the dunk outlawed in college basketball. This season, Griner has once again been a dominant force with 22.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 blocks per game. She continues to be the obvious frontrunner for every major womens basketball award and rightfully so.

Griner dominates the game at both ends of the floor, getting any shot she wants over the smaller defenders and swatting every shot with her 7-foot-3 wingspan. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has said throughout the year that the only way to beat Griner is to make shots, but even then she can get to a lot of the basketballs on the perimeter. I asked Henrickson yesterday about who she could compare to Griner. She threw out a couple names. Connecticuts Kara Wolters who played for the Huskies between 1993 and 1997 was one of them. At 6-foot-7, Wolters is close in height to Griner, but didnt play with the

same length. She was part of the 1995 team that went undefeated in all 35 games it played that season. Georgeann Wells, another 6-foot-7 center, became the first woman to register a dunk in a NCAA womens basketball game on Dec. 21, 1984. Or somebody, even before Henricksons playing days , named Anne Donavon who at 6-foot-8 dominated the womens basketball at Old Dominion in the early 80s, including winning the first womens Naismith College Player of the Year in 1983. I love Anne Donavon, Henrickson said. But she cant do what Brittney Griner can do. Nobody has ever done what Brittney Griner has done. Shes revolutionized the womens college game by being the first consistent dunker as well as a spectacular athlete. But even though her defense is probably her most crucial constitution to the Lady Bears success this season, most people are fascinated by a woman dunking a basketball. Theres been other women dunkers. The afoefore mentioned Wells, Sylvia Fowles and

Candace Parker just to name a few. But unlike those players, Griner dunks with authority, and doesnt just have onehanded slams that barely make it over the rim. A part of her repertoire includes 360 degree jams, slams off the backboard and dunks from almost underneath the basket. Griner is a once-in-a-lifetime player. There are very few times in life when you can watch the most dominant athlete in a certain sport. Think of tonights game like watching Muhammad Ali in his prime or Tiger Woods in the early 2000s. Those athletes could not be stopped. And neither can Griner. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

with her, the most impact she has is on the other end because she is going to take 25 or 30 away from you at the rim and even mid-range, Henrickson said. Henrickson said the Jayhawks will have senior forward Aishah Sutherland and sophomore Tania Jackson play toward the perimeter while leaving Gardner and freshman forward Bunny Williams down low. Gardner struggled with quick fouls on Tuesday in the victory against Texas Tech, which thrust Williams into the spotlight. Williams answered the call and scored a career-high eight points in the outing. Williams met with Henrickson after practice one afternoon and asked what she needed to work on to start making a difference and get more playing time. She realized that she was behind Davis and Sutherland, but wanted to be ready when the Jayhawks needed her. I think I was just at a point where I wasnt improving on anything, and I felt like I needed to do extra to improve, Williams said. Henrickson told her to work on her face-up shot and general confidence. Williams got the opportunity on Tuesday to show her improvement. Junior guard Angel Goodrich passed her the ball and without hesitation, she knocked down a 12-foot jump shot on her way to a careerhigh eight points in another careerhigh 18 minutes on the floor. Baylor gets a lot of attention for their post play, but they balance it out with All-American candidate Odyssey Sims at point guard. Sims and Goodrich were both named finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award which honors the best point guard in Division 1 womens basketball. She is a competitive kid, Henrickson said. They are both very similar in that way. Henrickson is expecting more pressure on Goodrich since she has become more of a scoring threat with Davis out. Jackson said the team had a good practice on Wednesday and has learned a lot since their earlier loss to the Bears. We just cant rush shots and play five one-on-one games, Jackson said. Weve got to play with confidence.

Track team to be successful in Big 12

mAx GooDwIN

It is a new day for the Kansas track and field program because today marks the beginning of the Big 12 Indoor Championship meet. The womens team has received national attention from the coaches polls in the past two weeks. Going into todays championship meet, the womens team is ranked first in the Midwest region and seventh nationally.. I feel like Kansas is the underdog, junior sprinter Pari Daniels said. I feel like were putting Kansas back on the map, and we worked so hard for this in practice. Daniels is a member of the womens 4x400-meter relay team, which qualified for the NCAA national championship meet with the current fourth fastest time in

the nation. Texas womens 4x400meter relay team, which the Kansas team will compete against this weekend, has the third-fastest time in the nation. Kansas sophomore Diamond Dixon will join Paris Daniels in the relay, along with junior Taylor Washington and senior Danesha Morris. I feel like we can win it. Diamond Dixon said of the 4x400meter relay race. We just have to run like we did in Arkansas, and now a little better. Dixon is also running the 400meter race. She finished third in that event at last years Big 12 Indoor Championship. Her time in the 400-meter is the fastest time in the conference this season, and 5th in the nation. Taylor Washington will also be running in the 600-meter. She was the 2010 Big 12 champion in the 600-meter.

The womens team has had many solid performances this season. At the pole vault sophomore Demi Payne has cleared the 2nd highest mark of anybody in the Big 12 this year. Senior Alena Krechyk won the weight throw at the 2010 Big 12 championship and competes for another Big 12 title this weekend in the event. Her best throw of the season is currently 3rd among throwers in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have the conferences best long-jumper in junior Francine Simpson, and best triplejumper, junior Andrea Geubelle. The two have combined to win seven titles in the two events this season, and they are both ranked in the top 15 nationally in long jump. The mens side is unranked, but they are healthy and will compete for titles in many events. In the

pole vault, the mens team features sophomore Alex Bishop, with the fourth-ranked pole vault in the Big 12 this season. Freshmen Casey Bowen and Greg Lupton are tied for fifth in the Big 12 pole vault. Senior sprinter Kyle Clemmons will be the most experienced runner in the mens 4x400 relay team, which holds the fifth best time in the conference. The biggest thing is were injury-free right now. We just need to go out and compete to the best of our potential. coach Stanley Redwine said. The meet gets underway at 11 a.m. with the womens pentathlon. Senior Rebecca Neville and freshman Lindsay Vollmer will compete in the event for Kansas. Edited by Anna Allen

KANSAS tIPoFF
At A GLANcE
Its finally here. The last Missouri game at Allen Fieldhouse, possibly ever, brings with it unprecedented hype and national attention. Coach Bill Self said this may be the most electric environment in the fieldhouses history. With a victory, No. 4 Kansas (23-5, 13-2) can claim at least a share of an eighth consecutive Big 12 title. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who said he felt responsible for the 74-71 loss at Mizzou Arena on Feb. 4, is just happy to have a second chance. Whether or not this game concludes the storied Border Showdown, it will likely produce a frenzied crowd and top-notch basketball.

Pressey is one of the best point guards in the Big 12. He averages 9.9 points and leads the Tigers with six assists per game. Hes just as good, if not better, on defense, harassing opposing guards into turnovers on a consistent basis creates easy buckets.

Taylor said that he was responsible for the loss at Mizzou Arena earlier this season. While he may be right, the Jayhawks also wouldnt have been in the game if Taylor hadnt scored 21 points. Taylor is pleased to have another shot at the Tigers. Dont expect him to waste it.

Phil Pressey, guard

He used to be the scapegoat, but on Wednesday night at Texas A&M, he was the hero. Johnson scored 21 points, 18 in the first half, and saved his team from what was almost an embarrassing loss. In the game at Mizzou Arena, Johnson took the final shot that would have tied the game, but he hesitated and missed badly. Will Self give him the ball again if Kansas faces a similar situation?

Hes a near-lock for first team All-Big 12 and has a good shot at landing on an All-American team. Denmon averages a team-high 17.8 points per game and had an outstanding offensive performance against Kansas on Feb. 4, finishing with 29 points.

Pressey

Mizzou was hardly itself against Kansas State on Tuesday night in Columbia, Mo., losing to the Wildcats by 10. The Tigers were 4-0 since their 74-71 victory over Kansas on Feb. 4 and were tied with the Jayhawks atop the Big 12 standings. Theyre now one game out of first place and if they have any hopes of winning the conference championship in their final year in the Big 12, a victory on Saturday is nearly a must. A loss would put them two games back from first with just two games remaining. The Tigers havent won in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1998-1999 season They are losers of 12 games straight in Lawrence.

Jeff Withey, center The last time the Jayhawks met with the Tigers, Withey didnt score a point. He was supposed to be the one Withey unmatchable Kansas player, but instead he was mostly ineffective. In the three games that followed the loss, Withey averaged 20.3 points and improved his already potent ability to block and alter shots. He now has a chance to prove himself against some of the Big 12s best competition, clobber a hated rival and help his team reach yet another conference title.

Releford will be a key figure as Self tries to counter Missouris four-guard lineup. Releford has the ability to defend point guards and power forwards, so Self needs him stay out of foul trouble. If Releford can shut down Denmon or English, the Jayhawks will have a better chance at getting into fast breaks.

Pressey plays 26 minutes per game but isnt much of an offensive threat for Missouri coach Frank Haith, averaging just 6.6 points. In the first game against Kansas, he played 22 minutes and was just one-for-five from the field with two points and one rebound.

Robinson had one of his worst games of the season on Wednesday, ending his night on a technical foul. In the first half of the Missouri game, he struggled offensively, scoring just six points. You better believe that Robinson, the national player of the year candidate, will be juiced for this one.

With the unconventional starting lineup of four guards, Kim English often has to guard the other teams power forward. It creates matchup problems for both teams, and the teams that can exploit English down low (such as Kansas State) can have success against Missouri.

The leader of the Tiger offense, Pressey was almost completely shut down by Tyshawn Taylor in the first meeting Pressey on Feb. 4. He finished with just two points, far from his season average of 9.9. Presseys size was a huge disadvantage in the first matchup. Hes listed at just 5-foot-10 compared to Taylor who, at at 6-foot-3, harassed Pressey the entire game and made once simple tasks difficult.

will this be the last time? With Missouri off to the Southeastern Conference next season and Self clearly stating that he doesnt want to continue the rivalry in the near future, this could be the final edition of the Border Showdown. Self said that he could maybe see a reunion three to five years down the road, but thats no sure thing. The conference title, bragging rights and momentum are all important factors in this game. But perhaps more important than all of those is the chance to give a rival a permanently sour taste in its mouth.

Can the Tigers handle the pressure? Coach Bill Self said the Allen Fieldhouse crowd on Saturday might be rowdier than any game in the history of the building. Games against Missouri are already a spectacle of ear-splitting noise, and the Tigers last visit to Lawrence will bring it to a whole different level. Maintaining composure during the pre-game festivities and opening minutes will be key if Missouri has hopes of leaving with a victory.

Withey has finally found his mean streak. He has averaged 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds in the past five games. The game before those five? He was held scoreless at Mizzou Arena. If Withey really wants to please his fans, hes got to get it done against the Tigers.

Ratliffe doesnt have a polished game by any means, but hes constantly putting himself in positions to get easy baskets down low. He averages 13.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game and is second in the country in field percentage at 71.7 percent.

These kids will be fired up to play, for a lot of reasons. They have a chance to get a ring, at least a piece of it, a chance to play Missouri, but more importantly, a chance to play a team that beat us the first time we played.

Im learning a lot about this rivalry in my first year, and it is great for the game to have us play. Hopefully it does work out in the near future. Well see how it goes.
