The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends a daily calorie intake of 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men. Adjust these to allow for an 8 percent package discrepancy and the recommended intake becomes 1,840 for women and 2,300 for men. Although the disparity between the stated and actual calorie counts seems large, it does fall within acceptable guidelines set by the FDA. Packaged foods are allowed to be off by up to 20 percent, and the FDA does not have a limit on restaurant calorie counts. Susan Roberts, a professor at Tufts University and one of the studys researchers, said the current standards were outdated. Its a hangover from 20 years ago when we didnt worry about what we ate, she said.

Roberts said the studys results suggest that people who were trying to keep track of their calorie intake should add an extra 8 percent onto the stated calorie count. Laura Grace, a sophomore from Rossville, said she used the nutrition labels to help her choose between items before she bought them. I look at the calories labeled as guidance to what to buy, Grace said. I still eat things that arent healthy. I watch my portions, and the calories help me determine a good portion size. Grace said she wasnt surprised by labeling discrepancies. I guess you can only take what food companies give you and have some trust in them, Grace said. You can either choose to believe it or not. While students such as Grace try to track calories, Scott Ogilvie, a sophomore from Basehor, said he doesnt bother. I eat a lot of food but its all healthy stuff, Ogilvie said. I just wing it. I know when somethings bad for me. Ogilvie is on KU crew. While he doesnt check nutrition labels he does avoid eating certain foods. I try to stay away from desserts, anything with a lot of sugar or a lot of fat, he said. Grace, Nelson and Ogilvie each said they combined efforts to eat right with regular exercise. Ogilvie said he could tell when he didnt have the right balance between eating and exercising. I just know when Im eating too much and not working out enough, Ogilvie said. I can kind of feel it. The rest of us have to rely on faulty labels. Edited by Taylor Bern

Alex Nelson, a junior from Lincoln, Neb., tries to keep her calorie intake between 1,500 to 2,000 every day. She said she watches her diet because she is on a blood thinner. I try to make sure I dont eat too many greens in one day. I try to keep it consistent, Nelson said. I try to watch saturated fats and keep that low. However closely Nelson counts her calories, she and other students may need to reevaluate how they calculate them.

Tax credit motivates first-time homebuyers Center calls for

BY JENNY TERRELL
jterrell@kansan.com Many recent graduates are enticed by the federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers, but purchasers need to be sure that they are financially stable before signing the contracts. This is of particular interest to recent college graduates that have to pay off their student loans. There are lots of little things you have to do that you dont think about at first you have to get new locks, said Scott Bird, 2009 graduate. Bird purchased a house in June of 2009 and said his decision to buy a home was greatly influenced by the $8,000 tax credit from the federal economic stimulus package. Bird said the most challenging thing was finding the right house and determining what he really wanted. Its a lot to think about for a 22-year-old man, Bird said. I never really cared about where I lived before. Bird was glad that his parents were there to walk him through the process. Because Bird graduated with a degree in finance, he said he did feel like he was informed about loans. Lisa Huk, a 2009 graduate, and her fiance, Brandon Blawusch, are looking to purchase a home in Louisburg, and have been eyeing the market over the past nine months. Huk does not have student loans to pay back, but Blawusch does, which limits their housing budget to approximately $700-$800 a month. They have

blood donations
BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com The blood supply at the Community Blood Center has been steadily low for the past week. Stann Tate, director of marketing at the CBC, said the supply even reached critical shortage for two or three days in the past week. The Community Blood Center is the agency that collects and distributes blood to more than 70 near-by hospitals, including the University of Kansas Hospital and the Lawrence Memorial Hospital. In order to effectively supply area hospitals, the center needs approximately 580 units of red blood cells, which means 580 individual donations per day said Tate. A shortage of blood donation, such as the center experienced in the past week, is a dangerous problem. The shortage prevents the center from maintaining its preferred two to three day supply of blood in order to meet the demands of the hospitals. Were sort of like a police or fire department, Tate said. Were there when you need us. Just as police and fire departments require the correct personnel and equipment to respond to life-threatening situations, the center requires sufficient

Argentina president says pork betters sex
subsidies for the pork industry won prominent play on television and radio stations, prompting discussions on whether Argentines should add more pork to their diet. Argentines are among the worlds biggest consumers of red meat, and most people stubbornly reject the idea of replacing beef with chicken, pork or other meats. fernandez approved subsidies to keep the price of pork low despite inflation, and her government has also recently subsidized red meat producers after beef supplies sharply declined in the south American country. The head of the association of pork producers, Juan Luis Uccelli, supported fernandezs speech by saying that denmark and Japan have much more harmonious sex lives than the Argentines because they eat a lot of pig meat.

BUENos AirEs, Argentina Argentinas president thinks eating pig meat is really sexy. many people in the beef-loving nation reacted with surprise Thursday after cristina fernandez promoted pork in a speech during which she not only said pork is better than Viagra, but suggested shes personally proven it. i didnt know that eating pork improved sexual activity, fernandez said in a meeting with representatives of the swine industry Wednesday. it is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than to take Viagra. she even joked that it was all good after she enjoyed some pork with her husband, former President Nestor kirchner.

finance committee advances funding for campus organizations

zgetz@kansan.com The University of Kansas Finance Committee approved $18,468 on 11 bills to be voted on by the Student Senate next week. The largest bill is to help fund the Black Student Union travel to Austin, Tex., for the Big XII Council on Black Student Government conference. The bill would allocate $12,403 for travel funds for 32 students. Its not the first time that the organization has asked for funds from Senate, but it is more than it usually asks for because the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs wont be providing the group with funds due to its own budget cuts, said Koga Moffor, a senior from Overland Park. The price is also more than normal because of the longer traveling distance. Moffor is the chair of the Big XII Council on Black Student Government and said the conference is a great way to promote multi-cultural affairs with workshops and keynote speakers to help

better both individuals and the student community around them. It gives them an idea of what kind of programs that have worked on other campuses and speakers that can come in that have proven to bring new ideas to the campus and bring about a new understanding, said James McIntosh, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. And its not just about black and white. Its about other cultures as well. It is also a way to help generate ideas of how to alleviate some of the tension and misunderstandings on campus, McIntosh said. McIntosh is a Black Student Union member and said there is still racism and a lack of understanding on campus, which is caused by a difference in background and upbringing. Its sometimes difficult to talk about racism on a predominately white university because a lot of time white students dont understand when something is racist, McIntosh said. The University of Kansas hosted the conference last year, and it would look bad for members not to make the trip down to Austin, Tex.,

for the next one, Moffor said. Mark Pacey, chair of the finance committee, voted against the bill and said it was a lot of money to allocate for travel. That was $500 at least going to each student, Pacey said. Thats a lot of money to send 32 students to travel. We dont fund travel through this body normally because it doesnt affect enough students. There are some groups that do get travel exemptions, but its usually for organizations that need to travel, Pacey said. Its for teams like the national champion debate team that their whole existence is to compete, Pacey said. If they couldnt compete, they wouldnt have an organization. If BSU doesnt go to the conference, yes they are less effective, but they are still a group. The money could fund around 24 on-campus events or bring in around 13 speakers, which could affect even more students, Pacey said. Edited by Kelly Gibson

Legendary author dies at 91

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK J.D. Salinger, the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose The Catcher in the Rye shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, has died. He was 91. Salinger died of natural causes at his home on Wednesday, the authors son, actor Matt Salinger, said in a statement from Salingers longtime literary representative, Harold Ober Associates, Inc. He had lived for decades in self-imposed isolation in a small, remote house in Cornish, N.H. The Catcher in the Rye, with its immortal teenage protagonist, the twisted, rebellious Holden Caulfield, came out in 1951, a time of anxious, Cold War conformity and the dawn of modern adolescence. The Book-of-the-Month Club, which made Catcher a featured selection, advised that for anyone who has ever brought up In this May 11, 1982 photo, J.D.

White House Civil Rights Brooke Sheen recovering event to feature Bob Dylan from infection, lawyer says
associated Press Mcclatchy-tribune
Bob Dylan will play the White House next month as part of a concert marking the Civil Rights movement. Morgan Freeman and Queen Latifah will host In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement on Feb. 10, a show that will be broadcast Feb. 11 on PBS. Other performers at the event will include Jennifer Hudson, Seal, Smokey Robinson, Natalie Cole, John Legend, John Mellencamp and the Blind Boys of Alabama. But it will be the appearance of Dylan that will be most notable. Dylan, who was given a Kennedy Center Award in 1997 (where he didnt sing), notably sang Only a Pawn in their Game and When the Ship Comes In at the Washington, D.C., rally where Martin Luther King gave his I Have a Dream speech in August 1963. He also sang Only a Pawn in Their Game, about the murder of Medgar Evers, at a smaller rally in Greenwood, Miss., earlier that year in a performance that became part of his film Dont Look Back. What will he play before Obama? Maybe something like Blowing in the Wind or The Times They Are A-Changing. But probably not Its Alright Ma (Im Only Bleeding), in which he sings even the president of the United States sometimes has to stand naked (though if he changes it to the new senator from Massachusetts, it would be more timely). And maybe not Quit Your Low Down Ways in which he sang: Well, you can run down to the White House, You can gaze at the Capitol Dome, pretty mama, You can pound on the Presidents gate But you oughta know by now its gonna be too late. Maybe he will be like Ramblin, Gambling Willie, of which he sang: He gambled in the White House and in the railroad yards, Wherever there was people, there was Willie and his cards. LOS ANGELES Charlie Sheens wife is recovering at a North Carolina wellness center after an infection that nearly took her life, her lawyer said Wednesday. Yale Galanter said Brooke Sheen, 32, was flown by private plane from Los Angeles after her release from a hospital. He denied Internet reports that she was in drug or alcohol rehab. Brooke Sheen was mentally and physically exhausted when she left the hospital and her mother arranged for her to go to a place that will help her recover, Galanter said. He refused to name the facility and said it will not be made public. Galanter described it as a wellness center with an emphasis on spiritual and physical healing with yoga and healthy food. Shes definitely not in a place for drug or alcohol rehabilitation, he said. Brooke Sheen has been through numerous ordeals since Christmas Day, when a domestic disturbance at the Sheens Aspen home

American novelist Edward Dahlbert once said, What men desire is a virgin who is a whore. In other words, men want a woman who is both innocent and without sexual boundaries. If procreation was the only reason to have sex, many of our problems wouldnt exist. This isnt the case. Rather, sex is often a play of power and desire. How much power we have and how much desire we fulfill depends on the role we play in sexual relationships. In order to satisfy both partners, their roles in bed have to be compatible. Roles, both societal and sexual, have changed in the last century. Many women dont accept the obedient part anymore. Though the roles were clearer in the past, they are mixed today. We dont just decide on one role and play it; we want to decide when to play it and how. And we want our partner to play along. Women often want a man who is both sensitive and forceful in a sexual way. Men often want women who show innocence, while also experience in their sexual behavior. These contradictions make it difficult to come to terms with a partner. Some theorists argue that the biological roles of men and women are clearly different. They say men have the sexual power over women and she can do nothing but comply. According to author Stephen B. Clark, the increasing emancipation of women in the last few decades led to sexual confusion and physical impairments. Impotence is said to stem from an aggressive, dominant behavior of women. While the roles we play today have become more complicated, it is worth making sense of it when the alternative is to go back a few centuries in human development.

Whos the man in the relationship? I cant count the times Ive been asked this question when people want to know about my sexual life. Really, what they should be asking is, Who takes control? Theyre confusing sex (our biological label) with sexual behavior, because clearly, in a sexual relationship between two women, there is no man. So, why, when interest is actually about whos in control, do we ask whos the man? Society associates dominance with men because we view penal penetration as a dominating act. Men are literally thrusting into somethingthe vagina. We use this to categorize all sexual acts, even though not every coupling is male-female. This demonstrates the male-dominant, heterosexual focus of our society. People forget that sexuality is not black and white. People arent just straight or gay. There isnt always a man and woman. Why do sex roles matter when it comes to what we do in the bedroom? We have a hard time understanding gay sexuality because we are used to heterosexual imagery. All throughout the media, we see heterosexuality: Barbie has Ken. Meredith Grey has McDreamy. Burger King has Dairy Queen. You get my point; we are a heterosexual nation. Whats odd is we are always talking about America the melting potthis wonderfully diverse nationyet we seldom see minorities (especially gays) well-represented in any kind of media. This lack of attention doesnt help dispel peoples poor understanding of homosexuality and sex roles. By labeling sex roles as the man or the woman, we limit our sexual abilities and imaginations to our anatomy. Sex is not defined by penetration. It is not defined by our biology. Sex is not about what you have, its about what you do. And, believe me, you dont need a penis to make a woman happy.

In America, were used to thinking of gender as the male or female dichotomy, but its actually more complicated than that. Gender roles are primarily vehicles for cultural information. We learn the nuances of each role from our parents and peers so that we know how to fit in. We expect women to smile a certain way when they are interested in a man, and we expect a certain kind of smile from the man in return. So, these roles are really more about assimilation than anything; when someone doesnt follow mainstream gender roles, they tend to stick out. There are some gay men whose sexual identity is apparent to everyone around them, but, with others, its impossible to tell sexual orientation based on looks alone. There are even some straight men who fit into female behavioral patterns, who are often mistaken for being homosexual. We make these classifications based on behaviorisms traditionally associated with females. Gender roles are different around the world. In Thailand, instead of viewing a person as moving from one gender to another, transsexuals are recognized as a third gender. The majority of countries do view gender as a dichotomy, but expected male and female behavior in Saudi Arabia is different than expected male and female behavior in Japan. Some countries are more egalitarian than others, some more patriarchal or matriarchal. Take into account each countrys various subcultures, and the number of different gender roles is astounding. Thats wonderful news for anyone whos ever felt uncomfortable with the role they were supposed to fit into, from the twelve-year-old tomboy to the fiftyyear-old transvestite. If gender roles are just cultural communication, then theres nothing wrong with an aggressive woman or a timid man. Were all just unique people who act in unique ways.

n high school, I didnt know much about the risks of everyday cosmetics and personal hygiene products. And I didnt really care to know; I just cared to use thema lot. But that all changed in the fall of my senior year thanks to a project I completed for my ecology class. At first, I was excited. I loved projects, especially when they meant talking. However, my teacher made the topic very broad; we could present about anything that affected the environment. I was stuck; there were too many options, and decisionmaking is not one of my strong points. Then I remembered how my mom had mentioned some soy candle project she was embarking on. I hadnt paid much attention to her when she first tried to explain, but I suddenly thought she might be onto something. This could be my ticket to an A+, I thought. So, in concentrating really hard, everything my mom said came flooding back to me: The chemicals and ingredients in regular scented products can have negative effects on the environment and people. In the weeks that followed, I spent hours on the computer researching. I found a lot of negative statistics and information. I already knew some of the facts I found. For example, strong-scented perfumes can give some people headaches. I already knew that because after going to Victorias Secret with my mom, she would always complain of the overwhelming odor of perfume. But, I also found some information that was new to me. I learned that the chemicals in everyday scented products could be very dangerous or even life threatening. Besides just worsening asthma, the chemicals in these everyday products could actually cause asthmaor anemia or kidney damage. The makeup, shampoo and lotions I used daily, my special

weekend perfume, and the cleaning supplies my mom had me clean my room with all contained petroleum derivatives. You know the petroleum we put in our cars? Well, I was essentially putting that all over my body, my hair and my dresser. The chemicals found in many common beauty products actually pollute our bodies, the environment and the people around us. So after I found this out, I changed my lifestyle. No more Sweet Pea lotion or Chanel No. 5 for me. I decided my health and the health of others was more important then attracting guys with my fierce scent. After I had completed all my research and put together my fancy PowerPoint, I was ready to present to my class. I got mixed reactions from classmates: Some were shocked. Others already knew the risks and lived organic lifestyles. The rest just didnt care, as they continued to apply strongscented, polluting lotions during my presentation. I knew, much as I wanted to, I couldnt change everyone. But I knew I was going to change myself. Now, I purchase beauty products at organically friendly stores. Yes, some of these products do have scents, but the scents they contain are made from organic ingredients. So, instead of polluting my body with petroleum lotion, I am enriching my skin and healing my bodyall while being safe for those around me. schwartz is a sophomore from Leawood in journalism.

Team prepares for first match Athletes in new roles for final home meet
by Kathleen Gier
by SaMantha anDerSOn
kansan.com/sanderson More than 20 teams will flock to Anschutz Sports Pavilion, Kansas indoor track facility, to compete in the Jayhawk Classic on Friday. It will be Kansas final home meet during the indoor season. While this isnt the Jayhawks first meet of the season, some athletes will have a chance to participate in events that they have never competed in before on a collegiate level. This will be Rebecca Nevilles first time competing in the pentathlon. A pentathlon consists of five different events that all test the athlete in a different way: the 60 meter hurdles, the 800 meter run, the high jump, the shot put and the long jump. Neville had success a similar event in high school. The freshman from Merrillville, Ind., was ranked second in the nation for heptathletes. A heptathlon is like a pentathlon except it is an outdoor event with a few more components. Its like a whole other level now, Neville said. Its just turned up a whole other notch. Neville thinks that she has continued to improve and at this meet, she will have the opportunity to see if her hard work has paid off. It shows me that I am way stronger than I have ever been, Neville said. On the mens side, the distance team is hoping to figure out who is going to be part of the distance medley relay. kgier@kansan.com The womens tennis team starts its spring season this Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, where they will face Drake. The Bulldogs went 29-34 in singles and 10-16 in doubles during the fall. They sent six players to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional. Last fall, KU went 32-32 in singles and 20-12 in doubles. They sent four players to the ITA Regionals. Everyone has been practicing really hard and everyone is getting in shape, sophomore Ekaterina Morozova said. I think we will be ready for Saturday.

$1.75 million contract gives Rockies a strong teammate

aSSOciateD PreSS
Todd Heltons wish for the upcoming season is to make it through the grind with a little bit more left in his tank come October. Jason Giambis return to Denver should help him accomplish that goal. Giambis $1.75 million, oneyear contract with the Colorado Rockies was finalized Thursday, a deal that allows Giambi to spell Helton at first base and serve as a pinch hitter. Last year was probably the first year I really felt tired at the end of the season, Helton said. Id like to have something left at the end of the season so I can maybe hit a home run. Some of this is my fault. Ill take care of myself a little bit better and work a little bit harder so I can be ready at the end of the year. Giambis presence should make that a whole lot easier.

Weve got to put that together for 40 minutes. If Kansas cannot find a way to put both parts of the two-piece puzzle together, many games will result in being outscored in cumulation, not just in the second half. We cant create that lull where we get sloppy and turn the ball over in the second half if we expect to get a win on Saturday, Henrickson said.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Pittsburgh beats st. Johns 54-52

Key to the game

Being Aggressive Against Colorado, Kansas came out firing and took an early lead. The jayhawks played with intensity in nearly every aspect of the game, from shot selection to rebounding. Kansas played in a similar fashion in the first meeting with Missouri on jan. 17, jumping out to a large halftime lead. in both instances, though, Kansas stopped being aggressive toward the end of the game and let its opponentsdictate the pace. That tactic might work well enough to get wins at home, but that generally doesnt work on the road.

PiTTSBurGH Ashton Gibbs and Gary McGhee scored key baskets to start a game-ending 9-1 run and No. 17 Pittsburgh overcame some cold shooting and a large rebounding disparity for a 63-53 victory over St. johns on Thursday night. Brad Wanamaker scored 16 points, Gibbs added 14 points and McGhee scored eight of his 10 points in the second half as the Panthers (16-4, 6-2 Big East) rallied from a six-point deficit to end their first two-game losing streak in nearly two years.

justin Burrell scored 14 points and dwight Hardy had 12 despite making only three of 10 shots for St. johns (12-8, 2-6), which lost its seventh in 10 games. The red Storm trailed only 54-52 after d.j. Kennedys two free throws with 1:56 to play.

12 points, 13 rebounds and five assists for the Boilermakers (17-3, 5-3 Big Ten), who won their third straight and moved within a halfgame of Wisconsin for second place in the conference. A loss would have left Purdue four games behind league leader Michigan State with 10 to play. Trevon Hughes missed a contested runner in the closing seconds that could have won it for Wisconsin. Keaton Nankivil scored a career-high 25 points and shot 7 of 8 on 3-pointers for the Badgers (16-5, 6-3). He was 9 for 14 overall, but his teammates shot 11 for 36.

COUNTDOWN TO tiPoFF

ku tipoff
At A GlAnce
No. 2 kansas and No. 11 kansas state square off in what Bill self said was one of the best road atmospheres he has ever seen. This rivalry may not be as heated as the Border showdown, but the stakes are much higher. k-state is 11-1 at home and has defeated four nationally ranked teams this season, including handing then-No.1 Texas its first defeat. The Jayhawks have won 38 of the last 40 games played between the two teams.

No. 2 KANSAS vs. no. 11 kanSaS State

KANSAS
(19-1) StArterS
Sherron Collins, guard Despite a season low six points against missouri monday, collins is averaging 18.7 points in his last seven games. He puts himself into the action more when the Jayhawks need him, which is why his scoring was so low when they dismantled the Tigers. He leads the Big 12 in free throw percentage at 87.3 percent.

KANSAS StAte
(17-3) StArterS
Denis Clemente, guard clemente is the hot head of kansas states devastating guard combination. His fire is unquestioned, but it can sometimes get him into trouble if he lets his temper get out of control. Last year he took a swipe at Tyrel reed, slapping/punching him in the back of his head. if he contains himself, hes a lethal scorer that can put up 25-plus on any given night. He leads the team with 4.1 assists per game.

kSu tipoff
At A GlAnce
kansas state is one of the few teams in the country that has better guard play in the starting lineup than the Jayhawks. Heres the Wildcats problem: if they can outplay sherron collins & co. in the backcourt, then cole aldrich and the Jayhawk frontcourt can shoulder the load. The Wildcats knocked off Texas despite poor play from clemente and Pullen. against kansas, they cannot afford a let down at any spot on the floor. The Wildcats biggest advantage is playing at home. Bramlage coliseum or the octagon of Doom, as the students at kansas state started calling it was always a safe haven for the Jayhawks. But this years kansas state squad has, save for one slip, done a stellar job of protecting its home arena.

collins

clemente

PlAyer to wAtch
Tyshawn Taylor coach Bill self said this would be an important game for Taylor because the Wildcats have quick guards the Jayhawks need him to defend. Taylor its been a rollercoaster season for Taylor for various reasons. most recently, his alleged desire to transfer out of kansas has him back in the hot seat. He still isnt talking to press, so his play will have to do all the talking.

Brady Morningstar, guard morningstar scored a seasonhigh nine points against missouri, but his greatest contributions have always come at the defensive end. He is disrupting teams by getting his hands on morningstar a lot of balls and breaking down the opposing defense to find the open man. in league play, hes averaging 1.4 steals per game and 3.8 assists. Xavier Henry, guard Henry scored double figures in his first 11 games, but hes only averaging nine in the past five. He hit three Henry three-pointers against mizzou following an 0-6 performance from behind the arc against iowa state. But he has come on strong on the defensive end, leading the Jayhawks with 38 steals. He ranks third in the Big 12 with 1.9 steals per game.

Jacob Pullen, guard Pullen is the other part of probably the best one-two punch from the perimeter in the conference. Pullen is the fearless leader of the Wildcats, and he and his beard are cult heroes in manhattan. if he demonstrates the same cool under pressure he did against Baylor Pullen he sank two free throws to bury the Bears the Wildcats chances get a major boost. He leads the team with 19.2 points per game. Dominique Sutton, forward sutton isnt a major offensive contributor (7.5 ppg) but he does the little things right. He takes care of the ball, rebounds well and doesnt take many bad sutton shots, as evidenced by his 51.4 shooting percentage. one thing he doesnt do well is shoot three-pointers. Hes taken just three on the season and has missed all of them. Curtis Kelly, forward kelly, a junior transfer from connecticut, had been underwhelming all year after huge expectations followed him to manhattan. Then he broke out kelly and had a monster game against Texas, going for 17 points and eight rebounds and enabling the Wildcats to win with less-than-stellar play from their guards. Luis Colon, center The fifth starter has been a bit of a revolving door this year, but frank martin seems to have settled on Luis colon colon. colon, a 6-foot-10 senior, hasnt exactly blown anyone away with his production, averaging just 2.4 points and four rebounds while playing about 14 minutes per game. Even though colon will likely start, look for Jamar samuels to take most of the minutes.

PlAyer to wAtch
Jacob Pullen Pullen is averaging a team-high 19.2 points per game, but has Pullen slowed down a little since conference play. Before exploding for 25 points in a 76-74 victory at Baylor Tuesday night, Pullen was 4-for-30 from the field in his last two games. Pullen actually seems to step up his game when he plays against better guards. He had 25 against Baylors Tweety carter and LaceDarius Dunn and 21 against missouris stellar perimeter defense.

question mArk
Will the curse of No.1 befall Kansas? it isnt official, but all signs point to kansas returning to the No. 1 position in college basketball with kentucky falling to south carolina. if kansas is to snag the top ranking again, they need to go through k-state. The Jayhawks say they dont care about the top ranking, but if it comes as a result of victory then theyll take it. With a hostile crowd credited for already toppling a top team, k-state isnt going to be intimidated.

Marcus Morris, forward morris has been kansas best player in Big 12 play, averaging 18.8 points per game. Throw in his 7.8 rebounds per game and 65.5 shooting percent and the Jayhawks have a legitimate morris third wheel to accompany sherron collins and cole aldrich. one of morris biggest weapons during this recent surge is his offensive rebounding. He leads the league with five offensive rebounds per game in conference play. Cole Aldrich, center aldrich is coming off his most dominant game of the season, when he notched 12 points, 16 rebounds and seven steals. since conference play began, aldrich has led the aldrich league in blocked shots with 3.2 and ranks fifth in rebounding with 9.4. coach Bill self said aldrich could play with a free mind knowing that his grandmother is no longer in pain.

question mArk
Which Samuels and Kelly will show up? if Jamar samuels and curtis kelly play to their averages and contribute 20-25 points and 10-12 rebounds combined, the Jayhawks will walk all over kansas state. if those two have the performances they did against Texas, combining for 37 points and 20 boards while holding Damion James and Dexter Pittman to a combined 15 points and 14 rebounds, the Wildcats would have a real chance to pull off another upset. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, samuels and kellys counterparts, marcus morris and cole aldrich, are playing their best basketball right now.

heAr ye, heAr ye

i dont like to wear purple, so if i had to wear any colors it would be yellow and black. But i dont like either.
Brady Morningstar on if he preferred K-State or Mizzou growing up.

Tyrel Reed, guard reed tied a career high with 14 points monday and has shown he can do more than score. self said last year reed was just a scorer and if he didnt make shots, he wouldnt play. But now he can help the team reed just by being on the court with defensive savvy and the ability to still hit the big shot. 74.3 percent of his made field goals come from three-point range. He is shooting 9-for-15 in league play. Markieff Morris Corey Thibodeaux

Sixth Man

Jamar Samuels, forward samuels, a sophomore from Washington, D.c., is the teams third-leading scorer despite coming off samuels the bench in 18 of his 19 games. He hasnt lived up to the high expectations that came with him as a freshman, but hes certainly a productive player, averaging 11.8 points and five rebounds per game. Tim Dwyer

kansas guards dont guard. k-state is very fast, especially in the back court. The defensive services of Tyshawn Taylor, Brady morningstar, sherron collins and Tyrel reed will be called upon more than usual in this one. Jacob Pullen and Denis clemente combine for almost 35 points. if k-states top scorers get going, the crowd may never quiet down.

kansas state doesnt compete. it would be foolish for the Wildcats to think just because they beat top-ranked Texas that it will translate over to this game. kansas seems to have hit its stride while k-state recently lost to oklahoma state and squeaked out a game against Baylor in the final seconds. The Jayhawks are on a different level than those teams, so the Wildcats must be prepared.

Georgia Tech takes a needed win

associated Press
ATLANTA DAndre Bell led a balanced offense with 16 points, Derrick Favors blocked five shots and No. 22 Georgia Tech pulled away early in the second half Thursday night for a 79-58 rout of Wake Forest. Coming off a tough loss at Florida State, the Yellow Jackets (15-5, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) ripped off a 19-4 run to break open a tight game. As usual in its ACC victories, Georgia Tech did its best work at the defensive end, holding the Demon Deacons (14-5, 4-3) almost 19 points below their scoring average for the season. Georgia Tech spread the offense around. Gani Lawal had 14 points and Brian Oliver added 13, while Iman Shumpert and Favors chipped in with 11 each. Favors and Lawal also had nine rebounds apiece, leading the Yellow Jackets to a 43-34 edge on the boards. The Yellow Jackets wound up shooting 54 percent (29 of 54) to easily win their sixth straight over the Demon Deacons in Atlanta. Georgia Tech needed this one, coming off a final-minute, two-point loss at Florida State last weekend. Associated Press

Winds reach 40mph at Qatar Masters

DOHA, Qatar Oliver Wilson of England shot a 5-under 67 Thursday despite gusting wind to share the first-round lead with Bradley Dredge of Wales at the Qatar Masters. Tied for second were Robert Karlsson, Alexander Noren, Lee Westwood and Marcel Siem. Wilson had a chance to take the lead on the 18th, where he missed a 5-foot birdie putt. The wind reached 40 mph early in the day before dying down. Karlsson had one of the most spectacular shots of the round when he holed an 8-iron from 182 yards for an eagle. Sergio Garcia was among seven players who were three shots off the lead. Associated Press

Torrey Pines sees complexity

associated Press
Scott Piercy had the best score Thursday at Torrey Pines because he made nine birdies. Robert Allenby might have had the best round because he made no bogeys. Adding to the complexity at the Farmers Insurance Open was Phil Mickelson. He was so excited to get his season started that he played with caution, yet one of his best birdies came after he hit his tee shot into the parking lot. A glorious day along the Pacific coast ended under a clear sky, even if nothing about the leaderboard will clear up until the weekend. The tournament is played on two courses that couldnt be more different the North Course is 712 yards shorter than the South Course, which hosted a U.S. Open two years ago. Piercy played the North and watched his scores go south in a round of 8-under 64. He made seven birdies on the front nine and even entertained thoughts of a 59 until a bogey on his 11th hole. He was not the least bit devastated. I shoot 59 every day, Piercy said. I just have to keep on going, usually. He had a one-shot lead over Ben Crane, Chris Tidland, Ryuji Imada and Matt Every, with Tom Pernice Jr. another shot back after a 66. They all played the North Course, and will have to tackle the big South on Friday. Thats what made Allenbys round so impressive. One of the hottest players in golf, Allenby made a couple of big par saves late in his day to protect a bogey-free round of 67, making him the only player among the top 15 after the opening round to play on the South. He felt as though he were leading the tournament, even if he was tied for seventh. I gauge myself off this golf course, Allenby said. This is a real golf course. If it wasnt, they wouldnt have had a U.S. Open here. I dont want to say the other course is Mickey Mouse because that would be rude. But its Mickey Mouse-ish. Ryan Palmer, who beat Allenby on the final hole in Honolulu two weeks ago, played in the group behind him and would have joined him with the low score on the South if not for a bogey on the 17th. Even so, Palmer was thrilled with his start, and couldnt help but notice the NC North Course listed next to all the names on the electronic leaderboard. Theres definitely a lot of North Course scores, he said. Im fortunate to play well on this golf course. Im happy to get out of there with a round under par. They had the biggest crowd, even if it never topped more than about 750 people. The cheers for the occasional birdie were not enough to offset the military jets zooming out to the sea from nearby Miramar. Mickelson played a steady hand in his round of 70.

Sammy Zeglinski made a contested 25-footer for Virginia (12-6, 3-2) as the clock raced toward 0:00 in regulation, tying the game. Dorenzo Hudson added 18 points and J.T. Thompson 17 for the Hokies. Thompson scored all but two of his points in the second half and overtime, and also made a key defensive play. Mike Scott led Virginia with 21 points and Sylven Landesberg had 18. Associated Press

Jayhawks respect rival 'Cats

K-State's emergence benefits Kansas, as long as KU still wins
by CoREy thIboDEaUx
cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeaux Whether fans are willing to admit it, the rise of Kansas States basketball program is good for Kansas basketball as well. With high rankings comes attention, and thats exactly what the Jayhawks (No. 2) and Wildcats (No. 11) will have when College Gameday goes to Manhattan Saturday. Coach Bill Self said its no fluke that ESPN is going to K-State, and Kansas is lucky to be a part of it. Were selfishly benefiting from them being good, Self said. I dont see any negatives in that at all. Traditionally the teams have had vastly different expectations. Kansas is usually vying for a top seed in the NCAA tournament, whereas K-State has only been in the tournament once, in 2008, the last decade. Head-to-head, the Jayhawks have dominated the Wildcats, winning 38 out of the last 40 meetings. But this season the 17-3 Wildcats are third in the Big 12 and a borderline top-10 team. When it comes to exposure, Kansas players dont have a problem with K-States success. I think its good for our state; its good for our conference, junior guard Brady Morningstar said. You get better when you play them. Im excited to go in there and play against another ranked team. Players generally dont carry the same grudge against rivals like the fans do, which is why junior center Cole Aldrich is proud to see K-State playing at a high level. We really support the teams around the Big 12 because a lot of the guys have friends from different teams from just playing over the years, he said. Aldrich had nothing bad to say about K-State. He liked their personnel, he liked the atmosphere and even the fans who left him hundreds of messages before last

the Best of rivals

Race for Naismith Award is wide open

tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/T_Dwyer or the past few years, the race for National Player of the Year has been decided long before the season was over. Last season, they could have etched Blake Griffins name on the trophy before the season started. The year before, they did with Tyler Hansbrough (then didnt bother to fix it when Michael Beasley should have won). The year before that, Kevin Durant was uncontested in winning the Naismith Player of the Year award. This year, its up in the air. Kentuckys John Wall is, rightfully, getting a lot of publicity. Hes a more complete version of Derrick Rose. Hes piloting the No. 1 team in the country, at least for a few more days, and hes a lock for being the top pick in next years NBA draft. But he may not be the best player in his own conference. Ask Devan Downey. The 5-foot8 mighty mite that single-handedly sunk Kentucky wont get any real looks as Player of the Year, if only because he plays for South Carolina. In conference awards, though, dont be surprised if he sneaks up and passes Wall for SEC Player of the Year honors. While were on undersized point guards, itd be remiss to not mention one of our own. Sherron Collins is, without question, the best leader in college basketball. If the Jayhawks are struggling, Collins will take the team aside, say, Were alright, I got this and proceed to score 21 of his 28 points in the second half. Well, that was just the Baylor game, but it wont be the only time this year that Collins wills the Jayhawks to victory. Collins, though, is on a roster laden with talent. Marcus Morris is a stud at power forward. Cole Aldrich is back as a force in the middle. Collins will win Kansas a few games, but the Jayhawks, believe it or not, would be alright without him. The Ohio State Buckeyes, on the other hand, would be NIT-bound at best without stud Evan Turner. Take the one-month stretch where Turner was out with a fractured spine as evidence (hell, take the fact that he was only out for a month with a fractured spine as evidence). The Buckeyes played six games and lost three of them. In the fifteen games Turner has played, theyve picked up just three more losses. But that just gives Turner an MVP award. To win the Naismith, a player needs to put up worldclass numbers. Turners fine there, too. Hes had two triple doubles and been within three assists of two others. He has a legitimate chance to become the first 20-point, 10-rebound, five-assist player since, according to SI.coms Andy Glockner, Larry Bird. Bird, in case you dont remember, did not suck at basketball. So Turner, right now, is my pick, but theres plenty of season left. Any of the guys on this list could win it. Wes Johnson from Syracuse could win it. Aldrich could go on a tear and win it. Notre Dames Luke Harangody could win it. No matter who wins it, itll be a heck of a race. Edited by Cory Bunting

I just hit delete. Self was the same way, praising the competition the Wildcats will most certainly bring. He even went as far as to say he would enjoy K-State coach Frank Martins company. He would be a guy Id enjoy having dinner with as long as he bought, Self joked. But Manhattans biggest attraction isnt Martin, its Bramlage Coliseum. Self said its the best hes seen in college basketball. I can only remember two other atmospheres that rivaled it since Ive been coaching; at Indiana and at Oklahoma State my first year back, Self said. To me this was the atmosphere that was the equivalent of those.

Jayhawks 'too comfortable' against Buffaloes

mrothman@kansan.com twitter.com/maxrothman After Wednesdays 75-64 win against Colorado, Kansas locker room was jubilant. Coach Bonnie Henrickson had other things in mind. I hate to rain on your parade, Henrickson said to her team. But weve got to be able to string two halves together. By NCAA rule, a game is to last 40 minutes with two 20 minute halves and a break in between. Take a look at the Jayhawks and one might think they missed the memo. Wednesdays first half was a one-sided trouncing. Kansas shot 18-of-35 from the field and outrebounded Colorado 27 to seven. Led by senior guard Danielle McCrays 19 points and eight rebounds, the Jayhawks went into the break ahead 47-27. It was perhaps the finest 20 minutes that the team had played the entire season.

We came out aggressively, attacked and shared the ball, Henrickson said. During halftime, the Jayhawks became too comfortable with their 20-point lead. Right out of the locker room, the teams lack of intensity showed. Kansas surrendered 11 turnovers, five by McCray alone, in a sloppy and irresponsible second half. You grow that lead to 30 or 35 if you manage possessions and take care of the ball, Henrickson said. Those turnovers turned into lay-ups and threes for them. The careless ball handling provided the Buffaloes with several opportunities that should have never arisen. Old fundamentals, such as shielding a dribble from a defender, seemed to be forgotten after halftime. We werent taking care of the ball, freshman guard Monica Engelman said. We were wasting possessions. Also aiding Colorado in their pursuit of a comeback was Kansas defensive laziness and lack

of assertion. The Jayhawks committed eight fouls, granting their opponent 11 free throw attempts. The Buffaloes converted nine of them. The Jayhawks also struggled with on-ball defense, resulting in uncontested jump shots or easy lay-ups conceded. If you can guard someone for 25 minutes, youve got to be able to guard them for 40, Henrickson said. After living on the wrong end of a relentless thumping in the first half, Colorado actually outscored Kansas 37-28 in the second half. McCray had a rational explanation for her teams lapse. We lost focus and played passively, McCray said. We relaxed

This has to be an alarming sign for Kansas, especially considering that Wednesday is not the first time Kansas has dominated the first half and collapsed in the second. On Jan. 17, Kansas defeated Missouri 72-59 in a near replica of Wednesdays win. The Jayhawks mustered a 46-
