Lawrence has been recognized
for its friendly, inviting, college
studentfilled town as the eighth
best college town in the nation.
Among the top-10 best college
towns in the nation, Lawrence
ranks eighth, according to the
American Institute for Economic
Researchs (AIER) 75 Best College
Towns and Cities for 2012-2013.
AIER took into account 12 dif-
ferent aspects of the towns and
cities to create the list. The 12
categories were student concen-
tration, student diversity, research
capacity, degree attainment, cost
of living, arts and leisure, city
accessibility, creative class, earning
potential, entrepreneurial activity,
unemployment rate and brain gain
and drain.
The AIER survey made four
groups based on total resident
population. Lawrence falls under
the college towns category with
fewer than 250,000 residents.
Lawrence is home to many
traditions and unique places that
make it stand out. The University
is full of traditions; from the cam-
panile to Allen Fieldhouse, several
landmarks on campus set it apart
from other college towns.
Steven Henry, a senior from
Augusta, likes
going to Kansas
baseball games
because its a fun
thing to do with
friends thats free
and on campus.
He said one of
his favorite
places in town is
Henrys Coffee
Shop, located at
11 E. Eighth St.
Henry said its a nice place that
has a local feel and is a way to see
people from all areas of Lawrence.
Another place Henry frequents
is Louises Bar, located at 1009
Massachusetts St.
It has a wide range of peo-
ple who frequently come there,
Henry said. Theres not a specific
type of person that goes there, and
its really inviting.
Henry said the proximity of our
town being so close to Kansas
City correlates to the pace of the
town and overall casual and invit-
ing atmosphere.
Annie Drape, a sophomore
from Leawood, said one of her
favorite restaurants that has a
Lawrence feel to
it is 23rd Street
Brewery, located
at 3512 Clinton
Parkway. Drape
said the restau-
rant gives good
vibes that reflect
the towns atmo-
sphere.
Its a well-
known place
that I feel like
most everyone in town has been
to, Drape said.
Tansey Schoonover, a sopho-
more from Roswell, Ga., said it
almost feels as if Lawrence is hug-
ging you when youre walking
around town. Her favorite place
to eat is WheatFields Bakery and
Cafe, located at 904 Vermont St.
She always orders the biscuits and
gravy and said its the best bakery
around.
Downtown is awesome because
we have a defined street that youre
guaranteed to run into someone
you know, Schoonover said. Its
not only college students but also
the townies playing music, food
markets and festivals.
Besides cool bars and good res-
taurants, Lawrence is home to sev-
eral parks and outdoor recreation
areas. Topeka sophomore Lauren
Fitzgerald likes to explore Clinton
Lake and find new trails to run on.
She also said Massachusetts street
is a fun place to walk around and
people-watch, seeing the college
students and other members of the
community mix.
Another place unique to
Lawrence that Fitzgerald vis-
its is Liberty Hall, located at 644
Massachusetts St. She said the
town itself has an old-fashioned
feel to it sometimes, and Liberty
Hall is an old theater that plays
less mainstream films and more
indie films.
The movie store has some
movies that I cant find anywhere
else, Fitzgerald said. I love find-
ing the strange and obscure mov-
ies there.

CHARITY
Freedom on the Hill run to fundraise for Boston
At 2:49 p.m. EDT on April 15,
runners across the nation bore
witness to an unexpected act of
violence, as two improvised explo-
sive devices exploded near the fn-
ish line of the Boston Marathon.
In the hours following the
bombings, Howard Ting decided
to take action in support of the
victims of the attack. Ting sent a
text message to the members of
his group for a project in Com-
munications 342 and told them of
his thoughts of changing the focus
of their service project to helping
those afected in Boston.
In the following weeks, Tings
idea evolved from a proactive
thought into a large-scale charity
event and relief efort. Te group
members (Ting, Laura Konecny,
Manny Delgado and Amber
Banks) went above and beyond
the requirements for the project
and created the event, Freedom
on the Hill, a 5- and 10K charity
run.
Te event will take place this
Sunday, May 12, at 9 a.m. Te
race will start at the marching
band practice feld on West Cam-
pus, run through West Campus
and Park and Ride and loop back
around to the starting point. One
lap of the course will constitute 5k
and two laps a 10k.
Te group has since evolved
from the original four members
to a staf comprised of 35 students
working around the clock to make
this idea a reality. As well as bol-
stering its staf, the group has re-
ceived sponsorship from various
campus organizations, including
KU Army and Air Force ROTC,
Inter-Fraternity Council and Stu-
dent Senate. Along with these stu-
dent organizations, Freedom on
the Hill received corporate spon-
sorship from Coca-Cola and Wells
Fargo Bank.
Tis event is not about vili-
fying the perpetrators but rather
remembering the victims, Ting
said.
Ting said the group hopes that
this event will help to turn atten-
tion away from the perpetrators
and their trial and turn focus
to helping the victims and their
families.
Attacks such as these are meant
to instill fear in the masses and cast
attention towards those responsi-
ble, but we hope that through our
eforts we can prove that we have
not lost our faith in the American
Spirit, said Andrew Locke, Greek
life coordinator.
Participants must pay a $15
entry fee, which garners them a T-
shirt and knowledge that they are
actively assisting those afected by
this tragedy.
All proceeds from the event will
be donated to One Fund Boston,
a non-proft created by Massachu-
settes Governor Deval Patrick and
Boston Mayor Tom Menino.
Tose interested in partici-
pating or donating to the cause
should visit Freedomonthehill.

formation.

Marathon bombings. Proceeds will be donated to One Fund Boston.
Rick Renfro didnt originally
think television in a bar sounded
like a good idea. When he heard a
television network was launching
24-hour sports coverage in 1979,
he reluctantly installed a few tele-
visions by the bar, afraid technol-
ogy would kill conversation. Now,
Johnnys Tavern, 401 N. Second St.,
houses 15 fatscreen televisions.
John Wilson would turn over
in his grave if he knew what Ive
been doing to the place, Renfro
said.
Te neighborhood tavern has
changed signifcantly in the 60
years since John Wilson bought a
few beer taps in 1953. Where most
new restaurants fail within three
years of being launched, Ren-
fro has worked to keep Johnnys
fresh, remodeling major facets of
his business model every 10 or so
years. Pizza and burgers now make
up 80 percent of his food sales.
Te taverns success, he believes,
can be attributed to two key fac-
tors: friendly staf and friendly
customers.
Its more the people than it is
the building, Renfro said.
Te eight other Johnnys Neigh-
borhood Taverns around the Law-
rence and the Kansas City metro
have spread the warm atmosphere.
When Renfro was looking to ex-
pand in 1992, the landlords, wear-
ing suits and ties, visited the Law-
rence location on a Wednesday
around 5 p.m. to see what kind of
operation they would be leasing
to. Te place was packed with col-
lege students, rough construction
guys and lawyers taking advantage
of the days special.
See those two cigarette butts
on the foor over there? they said.
We need to scoop up some of that
and take it to Johnson County.
Renfro describes Johnnys as a
comfortable pair of old jeans. Back
in the day, locals would either go
to a barbershop or hairdresser or
their local tavern to catch up on
the town gossip. Now, Johnnys
draws an eclectic crowd of locals
a group of retired men meet as
the bar opens at 11 a.m. to share
a daily beer, and more and more
parents are bringing children
under the age of 10. Pop, oldies,
country and rap shufe through
the bartenders iPod.
Te 60th anniversary specials,
including $6 burgers and $6 do-
mestic pitchers, last through Sat-
urday.

Local potters club to
host spring pottery sale
the lawrence potters Guild will host
its spring pottery sale this saturday,
May 11, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Carn-
egie Building lawn at 9th and Vermont.
it will present the work of 15 local art-
ists and include both functional pottery
and artistic pieces.
its a perfect opportunity to pur-
chase a gift that is both hand-made
and locally-made; something to last a
life time, says Kim Brook, president of
the Guild, who also teaches ceramics
at the lawrence Art Center.
shes been involved with the law-
rence potters Guild for two years and
participates in arranging the sales,
meetings, and events surrounding it.
Although Brook herself has been
creating pottery for 8 years now, all
members of the Guild have different
ranges of pottery experience.
We have artists with 30 to 40 years
of experience and those with only sev-
eral years; its open to anyone inter-
ested in pottery.
prices for the pieces range anywhere
from $5 to $300, and profts help sup-
port the art community in lawrence.

Students of the University and
Lawrence residents will have the
chance to opt in this fall to Law-
rences newest gigabit internet
service, Wicked Broadband, tout-
ed as an equivalent to Kansas City,
Kan.s Google Fiber service.
Wicked Broadband, founded
and based in Lawrence, will pro-
vide their service to one neigh-
borhood in Lawrence when stu-
dents return to school. Wicked
boasts processing speeds up to
1,000 times faster than standard
internet.
Following a model similar to
the one that landed Google Fi-
ber in Kansas City, Wicked has
launched a pre-registration drive
for their service to determine
which neighborhood will frst re-
ceive their gigabit broadband this
August.
For $10, Lawrence residents
can vote to bring Wicked to their
neighborhood for the upcoming
school year and take advantage
of internet service that will allow
users to upload videos in seconds
rather than hours and watch mul-
tiple programs online in HD with-
out bufering or pixilation.
Te pre-registration drive,
which began April 16 and con-
tinues through June 15, is located
on Wicked Broadbands website,
www.wickedfber.com. Partici-
pants in neighborhoods that do
not win the drive will have their
$10 refunded.
Tis drive gives the commu-
nity the opportunity to tell us that
they want the next generation of
broadband, said Wicked Broad-
band owner, Joshua Montgomery.
Montgomery is excited to ex-
pand the promises of gigabit
services that became so famous
through Google Fiber to the Law-
rence community. But he sees a
few things that help his company
stand out.
One is a technology called a
community wireless network
which integrates entire neighbor-
hoods of broadband users into one
secure grid, streamlining the ease
with which Wicked can control
services and provide better access
to customers during potential di-
sasters or severe weather a ser-
vice that Google Fiber customers
dont have.
Wicked Broadband is also
seeking out a unique connection
to Lawrence businesses that will
likely need fber service in the
near future. While Google Fiber
currently does not fll the niche
of business internet integration in
Kansas City, Wicked hopes their
model will become a platform for
other providers to ofer gigabit
service to local businesses.
In that same spirit of competi-
tion, Wicked invites future Law-
rence internet providers to join
the rapidly growing domain of
fber service through their strat-
egy of providing excess capacity
throughout the city. When Wick-
ed frst delved into gigabit ser-
vice laying down fber cables that
spanned Lawrence, they added
not just two cables for their own
company, but two more cables
open for other companies to ex-
plore fber broadband and even-
tually compete with Wicked for
gigabit customers.
Aware of the implications his
company and gigabit internet have
on the world of communication
and entertainment, Montgomery
asserts that this is a game-chang-
er thats turning companies that
sell you three services internet,
phone, and cable at a premium
price into one service data
transport.
For those looking to pursue
the latest in internet service and
get the most out of their devices,
Montgomery encourages students
to try and cut the cord when it
comes to cable and phone lines,
recommending cheaper alterna-
tives like Vonage and Hulu Plus,
each of which are compatible with
Wickeds internet service.
For students concerned with
being tied down to a pesky con-
tract even afer they move to dif-
ferent neighborhoods or away
from Lawrence altogether, Mont-
gomery reassures that contracts
run in 10-month intervals, from
August to May, specifcally for the
beneft of students.
Some students have already
become loyal Wicked customers.
Te gigabit service was installed
two years ago in half of the Greek
houses on campus at a rate of $24
per month per person for each
house. While students who live
on their own will pay anywhere
from $50 per month for 20 Mbps
internet to $100 per month for
the gigabit package, Montgomery
points to successes in the Greek
community as reason to test out
the service.
Montgomery hopes that anyone
interested in the gigabit internet
revolution will get involved and
pre-register for Wicked. While
only one neighborhood wins, the
company plans to use the results
of the drive as a guide for where
the service will expand in subse-
quent years.

W
hether you had a
good year or a bad
year, once final exams
wrap up next week, its time for
everyone to pack it in and split
off on their separate ways for the
summer.
Leaving school for the summer
can be quite bittersweet. Nothing
beats returning to the quiet
comforts of home where you can
sleep in your own bed and laze
around without having anything
to do or study for. Plus, you
have unlimited access to a fully
stocked refrigerator usually
full of food that you didnt have
to buy, for once.
I always love the first few days
of being home, but then, like
anything, it starts to suck as time
goes by. Eventually, youll fully
catch up on all the sleep you lost
from finals week; youll have
already devoured all the good
food from the refrigerator and
youll have hung out with your
old friends to the point where
youre tired of them again. At
some point probably dur-
ing that sixth straight hour of
watching Mad Men on Netflix
youre going to wish you were
back at school.
A lot of people stay in
Lawrence to take classes during
the summer, and others may land
internships in a big city. Im lucky
enough to be interning in New
York, so Ill only spend a few
weeks at home before heading off
for the summer. But, in my first
summer home from college, I fig-
ured out ways to make a summer
at my parents house feel a lot
more bearable. If youre stuck at
home, heres what you can do:
Get a job, man.
This should go without say-
ing if youre not taking sum-
mer classes or dont have an
internship, theres no reason you
shouldnt be working full-time to
save up some cash. I have plenty
of friends who work at restau-
rants or bars during the summer,
and since you dont have to pay
rent or tuition in the summer,
the money you make piles up
fast and can sustain you for the
better part of next year (if youre
smart). If you dont have a job
lined up already, youre probably
going to be stuck at some podunk
fast food joint. That will likely
suck, but at least youll be making
money.
Get out of town.
Road trips are already sweet,
but when the weathers this nice,
theyre a thousand times better. If
youre from Kansas City, youre in
luck because were virtually equi-
distant from cities like Chicago,
Minneapolis, Dallas and Denver
(plus everywhere in between).
Take a few days off of work,
gather up some friends and head
somewhere better than where you
already are. If youre a music fan
and youve never been to a big-
time festival which means you
havent lived scope out some
tickets to Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza
or any other big summer festival
and hit the road. Festival passes
usually run upwards of $200 or
so for the whole shebang, but ask
any one of the billions of Chicago
kids at the University about going
to Lolla: Its a blast.
Get better at SomethinG
(yeah, i know thatS cheeSy,
but what elSe are you
GoinG to do?)
There will be several weeks/
weekends when your friends are
all out of town on vacation with
their families and it feels like
theres nothing to do. Youll have
nothing but time. Remember how
you only made it two weeks on
your New Years resolution to get
back in shape? Well, you might as
well give it another shot.
Remember how youve always
said that you wanted to learn to
play piano? Or paint? Or some
other quarter-life crisis skill? Do
it; its going to be a lot easier in
the summer when youre bored
out of your skull than it would
be during the school year, espe-
cially if youre trying to get back
in shape. The gyms back home
are usually a lot less packed than
the Rec, and youre probably not
going to be distracted by all the
fun things that pop up in college

fun things just dont pop up that

Or, you could always just watch

his is the last column I
will ever write for the
University Daily Kansan.
And it starts like this: My mother
is the strongest person on the face
of the earth.
On April 29 at 7 p.m. my
mothers name lit up my
cell phone. I knew what she
was going to tell me before I
answered. There was no pain in
her voice when she spoke to me.
She gave me the news the same
way she did the last two times she
had to deliver bad news.
***
My freshman year at the
University was the worst year
of my life. After almost being
expelled for poor academic
standing and fighting depression
from a broken heart and home-
sickness, I came home to Wichita
that December to find my
grandmother fighting borderline
dementia caused by medicine.
I went to see her at the hospital
and witnessed how bad it was.
It broke my heart seeing her not
understand what was happen-
ing around her and using anger
to lash out at the confusion. The
next day when I visited her again,
she was different happy to see
me because she hadnt seen me in
so long.
She didnt remember that I saw
her the day before.
I prayed to God she would
make it through Christmas. She
made it through. I came back to
the University and stayed. I was
going to graduate no matter what.
***
My grandmother was a student
at the University in the 1940s.
Thats where she met my grand-
father. Ive been a Jayhawk my
entire life because of them. In the
fall of 2009, I began my career
at the University, the first in the
family since my grandparents.
When I was facing expulsion,
I thought of my grandparents.
I thought about how family
tradition says I should graduate
a Jayhawk. If it werent for my
grandparents, I might have given
up a lot easier. If I gave up, I
wouldnt be graduating from the
University later this month with a
degree in journalism.
I knew my grandmother was
going to die before she did. I
prayed to God she would make
it through my graduation. On
April 29 at 7 p.m., my mother
called to tell me Vonda Hilliard,
my mothers mother, had passed
away. She wont be making it to
my graduation.
***
My mother used to trick me.
Whenever I would come home
to Wichita from Lawrence, she
would take me to get groceries or
new clothes. But before we would
make it to the store, my mother
would take a detour to my grand-
mothers apartment.
If my mother had asked, I
probably wouldnt have gone. If
it werent for her, I wouldnt have
the memories I have today. She
understood family meant more
than food or clothes. And Ill
never forget those days when I sat
on my grandmothers couch and
she reminisced about her time at
the University and reminded me
that Im only a Jayhawk because
of her.
***
My mothers voice had the
same comforting sound, just
turned down a bit. She wanted to
make sure her own children were
OK first. Thats how she handled
it when I was 6-years-old and my
cat was hit by a car. Thats how
she handled it on July 18, 2001,
when her father my grandfa-
ther, the World War II veteran
who will forever be known to me
as the biggest badass to ever live
died in his sleep.
My mother had to be strong
for the rest of us and always has
been. Shes been the most con-
stant support in my life, and cre-
ated the strong family bond we
share that has always been there
for me. My father often brags
about my mothers ability to be
cheerful no matter what. Shes
strong for all of us.
***
Sunday, my family sat down
with the minister giving the ser-
vice for my grandmothers funer-
al. She asked us questions I didnt
want to think about. I couldnt
answer. I just sat there staring at
her trying not to cry. My mother
spoke up for me. Out of all the
people who were affected by my
grandmothers death, my mother
had the most right to breakdown.
But she didnt. She was strong for
me when I couldnt be.
I sat there looking like a
spoiled brat who had noth-
ing nice to say about his lovely
grandmother, all because I didnt
want to cry. My mother stood up
for me and dealt with the hardest
situation I can imagine. And I
thank her for that.
***
This column isnt supposed to
make you feel bad for me because
my grandmother recently passed
away. Its not supposed to make
you realize that I have an amaz-
ing mother and family. Its sup-
posed to remind you that some-
times, we take things for granted.
Youre told this all the time, but
you dont really notice it until its
forced upon you and you fail to
understand why the great things
in life are taken away.
I couldnt be happier to call
Vonda Hilliard my grandmother,
or Jena Lysen my mother. The
strength it took my mother to
inform the whole family that one
of us has left this earth on April
29 a day before her own birth-
day, and sitting at her mothers
bedside for 12 hours is some-
thing Im afraid I wont be able
to do in the future. Im having a
hard time just writing this down
right now.
My mother is a walking, talk-
ing representation of FOE: Family
over everything.
***
This is the last column I will
ever write for the University
Daily Kansan. And it ends like
this: I love you, mom.

Go work on those great ideas that
engineers have and then try to tell
theyre not overpaid.
if The Suite Life of Zach and cody
was part of their childhood... Theyre
too young for you.
KU can spend 3 million on one
persons salary but can not afford to
re-surface the campus pavements that
everyone needs to travel on...
Teachers bring their classes to
campus for a scavenger hunt? That
cant possibly go wrong!
i bet Batman was in a frat.
^ This guys knows what hes talking
about.... v This guy has NO clue
if there was an MvP award for the
FFa Lebron James would win that too.
One Day i Will Become a Beautiful

The redder the head the better in
bed ... hmm well im a redhead turned
blonde . Beat that!
i wanted to tell that little kid wear-
ing a K-State jersey to make sure he
wore a different one the next time he
visited. ashamed that i didnt.
Well editor, thanks for a great 3
years. You had certainly made my
semesters more humorous and i ap-
preciate it!!
We should go show our support for
our Baseball Jayhawks!!!
if your childhood was Suite Life
of Zack and cody then... WHaT THe?!
HOW OLD aRe YOU?!
Tabling at Wescoe? Just get a puppy.
Thatll do the trick.
The engineers work harder all se-
mester than most of you do for fnals...
lay off. Respect, nerd homies.
if Zach and cody was your child-
hood, you must be a freshman. Real
childhood memories are Rugrats,
ahhh Real Monsters, and all That.
Just thanked a girl because shes
the only girl i can talk to and not be
annoyed. Guess fnals are coming up.
a super gigantic enormous FFa?! My
chance to get in is here!!!
You will be pleased to know that i
fnally felt barbaric and drank the milk
from the bowl in public.
if she watched Suite Life of Zach
and cody, shes too young for you, bro!
ive lost a black notebook stuffed
with all my notes for semester. if anyone
fnds it please turn it in to Hash!
Suite Life of Zack and cody
...When was your childhood? Last year?
i love our campus roads, said no
one ever.
The FFa editor is a guy? Heres my
offcial proposal. Lets get married.
editors note: Supposedly ive already
married someone in the ffa.
im obsessed with sleep. My last
thought of the day is about how happy
i am to fnally sleep. My frst is unhap-
piness at being awoken. My second is
planning my next nap.
But didnt the tulips just bloom?
Why must maintenance take them
down?! Theyre just so pretty!
The Sweet Life is your childhood?
You were obviously depraved of the
sweet glory that is cartoon Network.
Walked by a physically handicapped
man and casually asked how he was
doing. He responded with being
blessed. Theres a lot to learn from
that man.
Well im stoned as shit for my last
day of class.
That awkward moment when youre
wearing rain boots when its 70 and
sunny because it was raining when you
left your house this morning.
Bass is love, bass is life.
is it raining outside or are those
just tears because this is my last time
reading the FFa?
always amusing how the Film 100
class population is cut in half when all
of the frat boys and sorority girls leave
during the flms.
RcJH.
Heres to the class of 2013!
Last FFa of my KU career. its been
an honor and a blessing to get to call
myself a Jayhawk. i may be graduating
but i will forever bleed crimson and
blue.
and with my graduating this year,
this school will offcially lose its hottest
ginger... My sincerest apologies.
Being an engineer major is like be-
ing a vegetarian, you can choose to do
it, but you dont need to let the whole
world know you do.
engineers are great, but they dont
know much about nutrition and exer-
cise. Thanks to engineers, ill be able
to pay off my med school loans faster
and make bank.
Holy allergy medication, Robin!
The U.S. doesnt have as many in-
novators as it used to because people
major in stupid things like buisness.
Hey FFa editor, do people send in
pictures? Just curious. editors note:
no.

errence Malick is a film-
maker whose deliberate,
ethereal style has earned him
nearly four decades worth of criti-
cal acclaim and unwavering respect
within his industry. The notoriously
reclusive auteur, who hasnt given
an interview since the 1970s, pos-
sesses an almost alchemical ability to
transmute dreams and memory into
the realm of pure cinema, taking
the weightiest of existential musings
and distilling them into their light-
est, purest essence. His polarizing
masterpiece The Tree of Life was
my favorite film of 2011; a rhap-
sodic, oracular ode to the interplay
of human nature and divine grace
that likened the daily struggles of a
family in 1950s Texas to the birthing
pains of the universe itself.
His latest effort, To the Wonder,
contains similarly rapturous imag-
ery, some of it cobbled together from
unused Tree of Life footage. But
the evanescent magic that sustained
his previous work is gone, replaced
by a moody, ponderous sense of self-
indulgence that verges on flagrant
self-parody towards the final act.
This drastic lapse in quality is alter-
nately frustrating and depressing,
the cinematic equivalent of Hendrix
suddenly forgetting how to play the
guitar.
The plot, which we gradually
piece together through a miasma of
whispers and sighs, revolves around
environmentalist Neil (Ben Affleck,
fresh from his Best Picture win)
and his budding relationship with
Marina (Olga Kurylenko, last seen
dodging alien drones in Oblivion),
the beautiful French girl he falls
for during a trip to the island for-
tress of Mont Saint-Michel, whose
soaring spires and shifting sands
are undoubtedly meant to represent
some unachievable romantic ideal.
He eventually convinces Marina
and her saucer-eyed young daugh-
ter (Tatiana Chiline) to start a new
life with him back in Oklahoma, a
land of open spaces, contaminat-
ed groundwater and endless Sonic
Drive-Ins (its mildly disconcerting
to see Malicks brilliant cinematogra-
pher Emmanuel Lubezki reduced to
pursuing transcendental splendor in
a burger stand parking lot).
Little by little, the lovers turn cold,
mainly because the dull, earnest Neil
refuses to join the alarmingly free-
spirited Marina (we can tell shes
free-spirited because shes constantly
twirling around the house, spout-
ing faux-profound poetry about the
love that loves us) for the ump-
teenth frolic through the flowing,
sun-dappled gossamer of the living
room curtains. This drives the pitiful
lug into the arms of his childhood
sweetheart Jane (Rachel McAdams,
barely registering), a female rancher
who frankly doesnt seem that much
different from Marina.
In the midst of all this literal and
figurative spinning in place, its easy
to miss the one performance that
makes To the Wonder a salvage-
able experience. Just when we feel
as if we cant stand another minute
trapped with the aggressively sullen
Affleck and Kurylenko, the spiritual-
ly conflicted Father Quintana (Javier
Bardem) appears like an emissary
from one of Malicks past master-
works. Bardems scenes in the film
are absolutely exquisite, a powerful,
unadorned portrait of a holy man
who can feel his connection to God
slipping away after years of soaking
up the doubts and fears of others.
The Class of 2013 would do well to
memorize his sermon concerning
the man who hesitates.
Malick was once considered cin-
emas least productive genius, releas-
ing only four films (Badlands,
Days of Heaven, The Thin Red
Line and The New World) in the
span of nearly 40 years. Now, follow-
ing an unexplained burst of volition,
he is said to have no less than three
new projects in development. Could
this be why To the Wonder feels
like such a frail, formless wisp of
a movie? Is the mediums greatest
living impressionist guilty of overex-
tending himself to the point of cre-
ative exhaustion? Or is this merely
a case of familiarity breeding con-
tempt? Theres only one man capable
of answering these questions, and he
isnt talking.

stress is to learn to recognize it by your body language
and to put yourself first when those awkward situa-
tions arise.
Whether its telling a friend you cant go out with
her tonight because you have too much homework
or telling a neighbor you cant babysit her daughter
because youd rather see the newest Brad Pitt movie,
sometimes you just need to say no and do what is
best for you.
Susan Newman, a social psychologist, wrote four
simple steps on Health.com on how to say no when
you really need to: Be enthusiastic, skip the excuses,
show empathy and start with the no part. Brown
agreed that you need to have a process laid out to
help you steer clear of getting pulled into unwanted
situations.
Brown said to give your deci-
sion thought before you respond.
If its out of habit to say yes, think of the relative
importance of what theyre asking and how thats
going to play into your time and priorities, he said.
Because once you say yes then you have additional
stress if you change your mind.
Ferrell said a lot of times, people will call her first
if they need a favor.
I just feel bad when they ask, she said. So even
if I have something I need to do, Ill put that aside to
make sure they get done what they need to. Most of
the time, she said, she doesnt even feel appreciated
afterward.
Despite her willingness to bend over backwards
for her friends, Ferrell knows it sometimes affects
her health.
I feel stressed a lot, she said. I wish I could say
no more.
Ferrell struggles with rejecting friends on a daily
basis, but is learning to put herself first.
My thought process is: I should say no, but if I say
no, then no one else will say yes. So I go do it for them.
But I need to stop that.
Brown posed an important reflection question:
What is going to make you feel better, even tomor-
row? Not just what will make you feel better right
now?
When saying yes isnt your stress
We all get stressed about different issues, and
Kocan and Brown agree that we have unique ways of
dealing with it.
Kristian Farner, a junior from Towanda, said feel-
ing compelled to help out a friend comes natural to
him, but his biggest monster is stress from procrasti-
nating. He relies on his Adderall prescription to help
out with his late-night study habits, but sometimes
that can be worse.
Adderall just boosts whatever type of mood Im
in, so if Im already stressed, Im going to be really
stressed, he said. Its stress building on stress.
Farner found he goes through the same scenario
almost every night that puts him back in the same
situation.
I realize this is what happened last time, he
said. Why am I an idiot? Why did I let that happen
again?
Kocan suggested to identify the source of stress and
to get away from it for a while.
Farner likes to take short naps to give his mind a
break.
I feel like too many things are going on in my
head, he said. I dont make an improvement if I keep
trying to power through.
Meredith Allison, a junior from Larned, works 20
hours a week at the Alumni Center and the Clinton
Lake marina and is enrolled in 19 credit hours. Her
busy schedule leaves her overwhelmed.
I really have a plan every day, she said. If I get off
schedule, everything turns into stress, stress, stress.
Brown said it is crucial to keep your priorities
straight and to focus on what you really need to get
done. Dont stress yourself out by trying to do too
much.
Know what needs to get done and do that first,
Brown said. If you have time left, then decide want
you want to do with that.
Allison said that balancing work, school, extracur-
ricular activities and a social life can get hectic, but
she has learned to make the best of it.
I dont take any moment for granted, she said. I
weave my social life in with school and extracurricu-
lars, and Im always trying to do the best I can for my
friends and for myself.
Kocan said the key to relaxing is to put yourself
first. If you cant make yourself happy, youre not
likely to make anyone else happy, she said. Listen to
your body and treat it well. Allison has learned to do
Who knew a simple word such as yes could be
adding to our mountain of stress?
Her phone simultaneously buzzed and lit up with
a new text. Emily Ferrell immediately stopped typing
her paper and read it.
Can you drive me to class?
Buried in homework, she reluctantly pressed the
letters y, e, s.
Ferrell finds it hard to say no, and a recent Health.
com study attributed higher levels of stress to feeling
pressured to accommodate other people. It said stress
is especially prominent today because requests are
consistently coming at us through a constant connec-
tion with technology.
The overused affirmative can often make us feel
better about ourselves, but it can sometimes be a
burden without us realizing it. Theres a line between
being generous and being a doormat because we
all know giving to others periodically makes us feel
good. So, when do we put our foot down?
The most obvious sign youre being too nice is
when saying yes makes you feel bad, said Robert
Brown, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health
Center.
Liz Kocan, a health educator at the University, said
its when you begin to feel stressed about it.
You have to do whats right for you, she said.
For Ferrell, a junior from Shawnee, the answer is
always yes. She feels obligated to help her friends,
whether theyre asking for a ride to class or for help
with their homework.
I will say yes probably 99 percent of the time.
Ferrell admits that more often than not, she puts
others feelings above her own. Four years ago, her
doctor prescribed her Xanex to help lower anxiety
and stress, but her failure to say no in most situa-
tions often hinders her life.
There are an infinite number of situations that
cause us to feel stressed, and whatever it is, you are
certainly not alone. A survey sited in the New York
Times found that the average college freshmans stress
levels are at an all-time high since more than 25 years
ago. It found that only 52 percent of college students
reported having above-average emotional health.
I asked 89 college students in my Applied Behavioral
Science 100 class to rate their current stress level on a
scale of one to 10, 10 being extremely stressed. More
than 60 percent of them ranked their stress level as a
seven or higher. The top four stressors were school,
finances, the future and relationships.
One student anonymously wrote, Where am I
going to be in two years when I graduate? Theres so
much stress with money afterward, and I also want to
find meaningful relationships while in college to help
prepare myself for marriage.
Someone put their stress level as 100, and said,
There is never a slow week Teachers keep it com-
ing.
Another wrote about the stress that comes with
being depressed and overweight. Ive never been at
the weight I want to be. It makes me self-conscious
about what other people think of me.
Stress can have seriously negative implications
on our body, Kocan said. It affects the immune
system drastically and breaks it down, causing you
to feel sick or tired, she said. It also can cause heart
problems. Kocan called stress the silent killer Its
unknown. You dont know youre causing it to your
body. She said that one of the biggest ways to reduce
JUSt SAY No!
Quit committing to all the
things that stress you out.
Do what you want to do.

Students often fnd themselves swamped with too many commitments, whether to school and work or favors for friends. When it
all starts to be too much, fnd a way to make yourself happy before helping others.
this and has found it easier to do throughout her col-
lege career.
Most people are their own biggest critic, and its
important to discover how to turn that into something
positive, said Kocan. A former college softball player,
she channeled her frustration through hitting practice.
Softball was simultaneously her stressor and her stress
relief. Kocan said it was a long period of trial and
error before she could pinpoint what was wrong and
take care of herself.
I didnt realize I was stressed at the time, she said.
And that affected me for a long period of time.
As the semester progresses, the stress piles on with
tests, projects and finals. Some students, like Ferrell,
worry too much about pleasing others that they forget
to please themselves, while others, like Farner and
Allison, struggle to keep stress out of their lives. You
can benefit from just saying no sometimes, or even
just taking a deep breath and a short break from your
stressors.

NEW YORK Helping to free
three women from nearly a decade
in captivity would seem to be
enough. Neighbor Charles Ramsey
has also become a star, offering
moments of levity in an unspeak-
ably horrible story, free publicity
for a restaurant chain and unex-
pected lessons in race relations.
Ramsey lived next door to where
Ariel Castro is alleged to have kept
the women in a makeshift prison
until Monday afternoon, when
Ramsey happened to be home and
heard Amanda Berrys scream.
Or let him tell it: I got the day
off from work, so naturally youre
doing nothing.
Actually, he was eating my
McDonalds, a fact he trumpeted
so frequently that the grateful food
giant is trying to get in touch with
him. A website that compiled some
of Ramseys television interviews
kept count of how many times he
mentioned McDonalds in each.
Ramsey, 43, gave a series of
interviews to Cleveland television
stations as the story broke Monday
night that were replayed on nation-
al news. CNNs Anderson Cooper
tracked him down for a lengthy
conversation the next night. The
interviews are performance art
masterpieces, so filled with color-
ful language and astute reporting
that he trended on Twitter and was
the subject of Internet memes and
an Auto-tuned song.
Similarly, a tape of a much more
profane Ramsey talking to a 911
operator (whom he later called
an imbecile) is circulating on the
Web.
During his initial interviews,
Ramsey said he was shocked to
learn of allegations that Ariel
Castro led a double life. Ramsey
said he used to barbecue with this
dude. We eat ribs and what-not,
listen to salsa music.
There was nothing exciting
about Castro, he said. Until today,
he added.
Youve got some big testicles to
pull this off, bro, he said.
During his Tuesday interview
with Cooper, Ramsey, who works
at Hodges Restaurant in Cleveland,
noted that he had trouble sleeping
with the knowl-
edge of what had
been happen-
ing in the house
next door. Up
until yesterday,
the only thing
that had me los-
ing sleep was the
lack of money,
he said.
If he had
known what was going on, he said
hed be facing a homicide charge
for taking matters into his own
hands.
Im glad it turned out this way,
Cooper replied.
Ramseys realization of what was
happening on Monday was itself
a revealing observation on race.
Seeing a white girl in that situation
was a dead giveaway that she was
either homeless or had other prob-
lems, he said.
When a little pretty white girl
ran into a black
mans arms,
something was
wrong, he said.
That sen-
tence itself made
Ramseys inter-
viewer uncom-
fortable; their
c o nv e r s a t i o n
quickly ended.
But the sound
bite was also highlighted in a paro-
dy song that was quickly doctored
with Auto-tune and posted online.
The phrases picked out for the
song like we eat ribs with this
dude also seemed to emphasize
Ramseys blackness.
Past examples of television inter-
views that seem to play to exagger-
ated ethnic stereotypes have been
the subject of online mockery that
struck some observers as racist. An
Alabama man, Antoine Dodson,
had his comments about a relatives
attempted rape go viral.
Ramsey is the latest hilari-
ous black neighbor to become
an Internet celebrity, wrote Aisha
Harris on the website Slate. Its dif-
ficult to watch these videos and not
sense their popularity has some-
thing to do with a persistent, if
unconscious, desire to see black
people perform, she wrote.
Theres always this sense of
otherness when something like
this happens, when you see people
who dont look like you or talk like
you, said Tracy Clayton, a writer
and editor for the Root website.
I like to laugh and make jokes as
much as the other person, but I
hope that we remember the women
in this story, too.

Lauren Dowben always wanted to meet her signif-
cant other in college, so when she exchanged numbers
with a guy she met in one of her classes, she consid-
ered him a possible mate for a long-term commitment.
Over the next few months, they communicated via text
message and Facebook, and they spent time together
watching movies and hanging out, but eventually he
told her that although he liked her, he did not want a
relationship with her.
He didnt know what he wanted, and he thought
it might be me, but it wasnt, Dowben, a senior from
Mountain Brook, Ala., said. When he fnally told me
he didnt want a relationship, I still held out hope be-
cause I liked him.
Dowben constitutes 63 percent of college women
who yearn to fnd their future husband in college, ac-
cording to a 2001 study by the Institute for American
Values, a socially conservative organization. Te study
interviewed 62 undergraduate women on 11 campus-
es, including private and public colleges, and surveyed
1,000 college women students. Although college can be
a great place for us to encounter new people, it can be
harder than it may seem to obtain an enduring rela-
tionship.
In college, it may seem a little easier because you
are in contact with so many people all the time, so there
are a lot of options, Allyn Lueders, a graduate teaching
assistant in communication studies at the University,
said. Unfortunately, college is also stressful, and that
makes it hard. To fnd the right one, you have to be the
right one for someone else, and that means prioritizing
the relationship over other things.
College is also a place for us to experiment, which
includes making mistakes and learning from them. Lu-
eders said one misunderstanding we have involves our
perception of how to fnd the right one.
Its common to think that fnding the right person
will be easy or fast, but it isnt always, Lueders said.
Also, it might not be love at frst sight. Ofen times,
love grows out of friendship so, you shouldnt dismiss
someone completely just because you werent in love
with him or her from the very beginning.
Another mistake we may make includes searching
for the right person in the wrong place. Jeremy Nich-
olson, a social and personality psychologist and dating
and relationship consultant on Psychology Today, said
those of us who want to meet potential partners for a
serious, long-term relationship should avoid parties
and any settings where people only want short-term
satisfaction.
Te best environment is any environment where
students are more serious about themselves and rela-
tionships, Nicholson said. Any environment that has
a shared goal where you have common interests and
can build upon an established relationship is good.
But just how exactly do we know when someone
is supposedly meant for us? Ronnie Ryan, a dating
coach on YourTango, said we should evaluate whether
someone is right for us by how he or she treats us and
how compatible we are with that person.
You should be able to be comfortable around and
understand each other, Ryan said. Communication
and trust are crucial. Also, you have to want the same
things and have similar life goals.

A recent study shows that 63 percent of college women aim to fnd their future husband during their college careers.
WASHINGTON (AP) Mi-
chelle Obama on Tuesday returned
to the business of selling her frst
book, and she started by telling
scores of people waiting in line at
a popular bookstore to buy away
because Mothers Day is coming.
Its a great gif, she said of
American Grown: Te Story of
the White House Kitchen Garden
and Gardens Across America.
Te book was published about a
year ago in late May, and the frst
lady did just one book-signing
event in Washington about two
weeks aferward. She was, at the
time, taking part in an even bigger
sales job: campaigning around the
country to help President Barack
Obama win a second term.
If you recall, when the book
came out we were in the middle
of this campaign, or something or
other, she joked Tuesday. So we
were a little busy.
With the election over and a
second term in the history books,
Mrs. Obama ventured a few miles
north of the White House to the
Politics and Prose bookstore on a
rainy morning to plug the fruit of
her frst turn as a best-selling au-
thor.
Te frst lady said she wrote the
271-page book for a bumper crop
of reasons: to tell the story of her
White House garden on the South
Lawn, to spread the word about
the history of community garden-
ing in the United States and to
start a conversation about child-
hood obesity in the U.S.
Before the signing, the frst lady
said all book proceeds are going
to the National Park Foundation
to help support the White House
garden and community gardens
across the country.

illy Vanilly opened its doors in
Lawrence two years ago, pro-
viding cupcakes for dessert
afcionados across the city.
If the Kansas basketball team
wants cupcakes next season, it should
frequent Billy Vanilly, because it
wont be getting many cupcakes, also
known as easy wins, onits non-con-
ference schedule.
Te Jayhawks, while trotting out
a brand-new lineup that may include
as many as three freshmen starters,
will play a neutral-court game against
Duke, on the road against Colorado
and Florida, and at home against
Georgetown. Tey will also compete
in the Battle for Atlantis, which fea-
tures such teams as Tennessee, Vil-
lanova and Iowa. Teir mid-major
foes are nothing to sneeze at either, as
New Mexico and San Diego State will
come into town seeking an upset.
Duke and Florida will both likely
be preseason top-10 teams. Colorado,
Georgetown and New Mexico have a
good shot to be ranked. Tennessee
and Iowa made the NIT last year, but
return most of their respective cores
and are safe bets to be NCAA-tour-
nament bound.
Te schedule is comparable to
Dukes schedule last year, which saw it
play against such talent as Kentucky,
Louisville, Ohio State, Minnesota
and VCU. While Kentucky ended
the season foating upside-down at
the top of the aquarium, the rest of
the teams were contenders through-
out the year.
Duke won every one of its non-
conference games. Kansas, by all ac-
counts, will not make it through the
non-conference schedule unscathed.
Duke had senior leaders in Ryan Kel-
ly, Mason Plumlee, and Seth Curry.
Kansas does not have the luxury of
senior leadership. Duke had fresh-
man talent, but they were able to
defer to the upperclassmen. Kansas
freshmen will have to be alpha dogs
almost immediately.
Tis young team will lose games.
Some will be heartbreakers, others
may not be as close. Tey might beat
Florida but lose to New Mexico. Tey
could win the Battle for Atlantis, or
they could be watching its title game
from the stands. However, the out-
comes of these early season games
are not nearly as important as the les-
sons learned from them.
Duke knows this best. Afer its
immaculate non-conference per-
formance, Duke proceeded to lose
four games in the languid ACC, in-
cluding games against Virginia and
Maryland. Te Blue Devils entered
the NCAA tournament with about as
much momentum as Mark Mangino
in a footrace.
If you asked a Blue Devil player
whether he would trade the early sea-
son prosperity for more wins later in
the year, he would either enthusiasti-
cally reply in the afrmative or fop to
the ground. (With Duke, the latter is
always an option.)
Bill Self will have the unenvi-
able task of telling a group of young
guys not to worry about early losses.
Freshmen have the tendency to hold
onto losses, while the upperclassmen
have shorter memories. Te worst
thing that the schedule could do is
strip Wayne Selden, Joel Embiid, and
the rest of the freshman crew of their
confdence.
Self will do all in his power to en-
sure that doesnt happen.
And if Kansas happens to win
most of those games along the way,
all the better.
Riding the momentum of the
upset of No. 1 Oklahoma, the
Jayhawk softball team will finish
the regular season at Iowa State
with a chance at its best Big 12 fin-
ish since 2001.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks
hosted the Sooners in what turned
out to be just a two-game series
due to weather conditions. The
Jayhawks split the series with the
Sooners, scoring the first ever win
against a top-ranked team in the
second game of the doubleheader
on Sunday. The Jayhawks nearly
swept the doubleheader against
Oklahoma, but two unearned runs
in the bottom of seventh allowed
the Sooners to take game one.
The Jayhawks will face the
Cyclones in Ames, Iowa this week-
end in a three-game series with a
chance to achieve their best Big 12
finish since 2001. The Jayhawks
and the Cyclones have squared
off 78 times in a series that dates
back to 1980. The Jayhawks lead
the all time series 45-33, with an
edge in victories at home and on
neutral fields. The Jayhawks enter
this series once again leading the
Big 12 in batting average for the
13th week straight.
Iowa State was voted to finish
seventh in the Big 12 this sea-
son but is entering this weekend
series in sixth place. The Cyclones
are hitting .288 this season, which
ranks sixth in the Big 12, Iowa
State also entered the week two
homeruns shy of the team record
of 36. The Cyclones are allow-
ing opponents to hit .342 and are
entering this week with a record
of 21-31. The inflated numbers
the pitching staff has put up this
season has offset the Iowa States
potent offense. As a collective staff
the ERA is 6.21
Iowa State is just one of those
teams that is very well balanced,
offensively, with speed and power,
said Coach Megan Smith. They
do a great job of producing runs
against anyone. We just have to
know that theyre going to fight all
seven innings and they have the
ability to put up runs at any point.
We have to make sure our pitching
is strong, hitting their spots and
keeping them off balance.
Freshman pitcher Kelsey Kessler
received the Big 12 pitcher of the
week honor for the second time
this season. Kessler is the only
pitcher to shut out Oklahoma this
season and also has two victories
against top-25 teams this season.
The dynamic duo of Alex Hugo
and Maggie Hull is still going
strong as both are hitting over .400
and are ranked in top 5 in bat-
ting average. Oklahoma is the only
other team with two hitters in the
top five of batting average.
Though last weekend was
a monumental weekend for the
Jayhawk softball program, the
team wants to focus on what is
ahead and not let the upset of
Oklahoma be the highlight of
the season. The Jayhawks have a
chance to be above .500 in Big 12
play for the first time since having
a 9-8 conference record in 2005.
Kansas also holds a half-game lead
over Oklahoma State for fourth
place in the conference standings,
so if Kansas finishes in fourth, that
would be the highest finish since
2001.
The Iowa State series is the
most important series for us,
Coach Smith said. I think its
because weve had very good series
with them every year that Ive been
here. We have been very evenly
matched in back-and-forth close
games. We want to finish as high
as we can in the Big 12. Thats
our only goal right now is to fin-
ish as high as we can. We think if
we play well in Ames, we hope to
finish fourth, and thats what our
goal is.

The Jayhawks were all smiles after defeating the Baker Wildcats 8-0 on May 1.
The Jayhawks are within strik-
ing distance heading into the final
weekend of Big 12 conference play.
Kansas State is the final Big 12
opponent on the Jayhawks radar.
The Wildcats, part of the three way
tie for first in the conference, are
currently second in the nation in
batting average. The Jayhawks are
riding new found momentum after
another solid win over Wichita
State.
I think this team is riding a
huge wave right now, coach Ritch
Price said. Theyre very confident.
Theyre going about their busi-
ness in a professional way. They
grind everyday and understand
the importance of getting reps to
improve. Its a very mature team.
The pressure of this weekends
series against Kansas State has been
unequalled by any series this sea-
son. The Jayhawks arent simply
playing for first in the Big 12, but
their bid to an NCAA regional
appearance. Something the team
hasnt accomplished since 2009.
The Jayhawks may not take that
knowledge on the field, but the
playoff feel entering the weekend is
undeniable.
Down the stretch were looking
to win it, sophomore designated
hitter Connor McKay said. Its a
playoff mindset every game from
here on out for the whole team.
Weve worked all year to get to this
point. We arent going to let it go
without a fight.
The Jayhawks have relied on
solid pitching and exceptional
defense throughout their rise to
competing for the Big 12 title. One
of the biggest keys to this defensive
dominance is junior closer Jordan
Pich. The NCBWA Stopper of the
Year candidate recorded his Big 12
Leading 10th save against Wichita
State.
Hes the best guy in the coun-
try, coach Price said. The whole
key to our success this season has
been him at the back end of our
bullpen.
It takes a special mindset to
accomplish that level of success as
a closer.
It takes unbelievable confidence
in yourself, coach Price said. You
look in the big leagues and most
guys are high intensity, competitive
closers that almost have that foot-
ball run through the wall mentality
when they pitch the ninth inning.
But you look at Mariano Rivera and
he walks out there calm and col-
lected and hes a thinker and Pich
has that same promise about him.
Pich lives for the moment on
the mound. Like the rest of the
Jayhawks pitching staff the surge
of momentum hasnt been lost on
Pich
Hope is really high right now
and guys are rolling really well,
Pich said. We got a lot of guys
heating up with the bats and its car-
rying over. I think thats a big thing
for us and our momentum which is
a big key going into this weekend.
As much as the momentum has
affected the Jayhawk lineup, Pich
and the pitching staff are sticking to
the standard line and not trying to
do too much against Kansas State.
Were just going out there and
firing away, Pich said. We know
theyre good hitters, but when our
pitching staff is on, we can beat
anybody. Thats what the plan is
and thats where everyones head is
right now.
Kansas Baseballs Big 12 finale
starts with a 6 p.m. first pitch on
Friday against the Wildcats. The
Jayhawks senior right handed
pitcher Thomas Taylor takes the
mound for game one.

ecause the semester is coming to
an end and this is the fnal brew,
I refect on what has happened in
sports so far in 2013. Inspiration to trag-
edy, heartbreak to success, we have seen it
all. In just fve months, the sports world
has encountered plenty of events and sto-
ries that have encompassed the media tre-
mendously. Its hard to cover everything
thats happened, but these are the most
notorious stories that have taken place.
Starting of on a light note, there have
been quite a few inspirational stories that
have stolen our hearts and made us grab
the tissues.
Well start of with the story of Jack
Hofman, the 7-year-old brain cancer
patient who lived his dream by scoring a
touchdown for the Nebraska Cornhusk-
ers during their spring game. Befriended
by running back Rex Burkhead, Jack was
given the honor of running for 69 yards
into the end zone in one play, followed by
a lif into the air by the Nebraska football
team with the crowd standing and cheer-
ing him on.
Another great story comes from El
Paso, Texas. Coach Peter Morales of
Coronado High School decided to play
his team manager, Mitchell Marcus, who
has a developmental disability, in their f-
nal basketball game of the season against
the schools rivals, Franklin High School.
Mitchell entered the game, and with ev-
ery chance, his teammates passed the ball
to him, hoping he would make one shot.
As time was ticking down, he kept miss-
ing. Afer a few tries, Jonathon Montanez
of Franklin was about to pass the ball in-
bounds to his teammate when he decided
to show true sportsmanship and passed it
to Mitchell who then scored his frst and
only basket ever. Te game ended, and
both teams celebrated the moment. Tis
story spread nation-wide and the Amer-
ican public was able to see how moving
this act of kindness was.
Along with the positives, there are al-
ways some negatives.
Heartbreak was defnitely felt around
the country, including here at the Univer-
sity. We felt it when both our mens and
womens basketball teams were defeated
in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tour-
nament. It was even more painful when
Trey Burke hit that game-tying three. In
the end, the powerful Louisville Cardinals
won the mens tournament, motivated by
the horrifc injury of Kevin Ware.
Along with the heartbreak came trag-
edy.
No one will be able to ever forget about
the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Tree spectators were killed and more than
260 people were injured. Two days later, a
university police ofcer was ambushed and
killed during the manhunt for the two sus-
pects. Lots of emotions and cautions came
from this terrible event. Te suspects have
been found. One of the suspects was killed
and the other one is in custody along with
one of their friends. Trough the tragedy,
people have come together and prayed for
the city of Boston.
Many other stories have occurred: the
questions that have surrounded the Los
Angeles Lakers, baseball season being in
swing, an Australian winning the Masters,
the not-so-exciting NFL Draf, and plenty
of others. Basketball and Hockey playofs
are taking place right now, and both have
been exciting to watch.
As I conclude the last brew, I wish ev-
erybody luck on their fnals and have a
great summer.

MANCHESTER, England
During more than a quarter of a
century in charge of Manchester
United, Alex Ferguson has always
found the way to win and win
again.
Scrappy, abrasive and always up
for a fight, Ferguson turned the
club into a global power and estab-
lished himself as the most suc-
cessful manager in British soccer
history.
And now, the 71-year-old
Scotsman is going out on a high.
On his own terms.
With his 13th Premier League
title and 38th major trophy
at United secured, Ferguson
announced Wednesday that he is
retiring at the end of the season.
The decision to retire is one
that I have thought a great deal
about and one that I have not taken
lightly, the Scotsman said. It is the
right time.
Since taking charge at Old
Trafford in 1986, Fergusons tro-
phy collection also includes two
Champions League titles, five FA
Cups, four League Cups and the
2008 FIFA World Club Cup.
His drive, ambition, skill, pas-
sion and vision have not only
shaped Manchester United, but in
many ways the game of football as
we now know it, Premier League
chief executive Richard Scudamore
said.
Manchester United, owned by
the American Glazer family and
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, did not immediately
announce a successor, but will
need to act swiftly to stave off any
market uncertainty.
Everton manager David Moyes,
a fellow Scot from Glasgow, is the
front-runner. During 11 years
at Everton, Moyes has overseen
impressive results on a limited
budget and enjoyed a long-stand-
ing friendship with Ferguson.
He is a first-class manager,
Ferguson, who is being consulted
on his successor, said of Moyes
last year.
United is valued at around $3.2
billion and is one of the worlds
most high-profile sports brands.
Manchester United shares
dropped more than 5 percent in
early New York trading, but the
losses were clawed back quickly. By
late morning, the shares were trad-
ing at $18.42, down 1.3 percent.
Few managers at United or
anywhere in global soccer will
come close to matching Fergusons
achievements.
It was important to me to leave
an organization in the strongest
possible shape and I believe I have
done so, he said. The quality of
this league winning squad, and the
balance of ages within it, bodes
well for continued success at the
highest level.
Ferguson reversed a previous
plan to retire at the end of the 2001-
02 season, but this decision seems
final after Manchester United
extended its record for English
league championships to 20.
Uniteds last home game a
chance for fans to pay an emotional
farewell to Ferguson is against
Swansea on Sunday. United then
travels to West Bromwich Albion
on May 19 in the final match for
the man who has defined the club
for nearly three decades.
Ferguson will remain as a club
director and ambassador.
His contributions to Manchester
United over the last 26 years have
been extraordinary and, like all
United fans, I want him to be a part
of its future, joint chairman Avie
Glazer said.
Fergusons style was marked by
a combustible temper. He often
took out his ire on players, rival
coaches, referees and the media.
He has banned many reporters
from the club over the years when
he disputed their articles or line of
questioning.
David Beckham was cut above
the eye when Ferguson, furious
at his teams poor performance
against Arsenal in 2003, kicked a
boot in the changing room and
it hit the midfielder in the face.
Fed up with Beckhams celebrity
lifestyle, Ferguson sold him to Real
Madrid, but there was no lingering
bitterness from the former England
captain.
The boss wasnt just the great-
est and best manager I ever played
under he was also a father figure
to me from the moment I arrived
at the club at the age of 11 until
the day I left, Beckham, who now
plays for Paris Saint-Germain,
wrote on Facebook.

SALT LAKE CITY A Utah
teen accused of punching a soc-
cer referee who later died was
charged Wednesday with homi-
cide by assault, a count issued
when an attack unintentionally
causes death.
Salt Lake County District
Attorney Sim Gill announced the
charges, saying he will seek to try
the teen as an adult.
A homicide by assault charge is
less serious than manslaughter. It
carries up to five years in prison
for adults, but penalties can be less
for juveniles.
Gill said it became clear in look-
ing at the facts that the teenagers
actions didnt warrant murder or
manslaughter.
We did not believe we could
demonstrate the premeditation or
intent to justify those charges,
Gill told The Associated Press on
Wednesday. Those other charges
require another type of mental
state. We did not believe that type
of mental state was present.
The 17-year-old has been in
juvenile detention since April 27
when the incident occurred at a
recreational-league soccer match
in a Salt Lake City suburb.
Authorities say the teenager was
playing goalie when 46-year-old
Ricardo Portillo called a penalty
on him for pushing an opposing
player. The teenager began argu-
ing with Portillo and then struck
him in the head.
Charging documents show wit-
nesses say the teenager threw one
punch, hitting him in the rear jaw
area with a closed fist. Another
witness said Portillo was writing
notes on his notepad when he
was hit.
Portillo was taken to the hospi-
tal in fair condition. Hours later,
he went into a coma. He never
regained consciousness and died
Saturday.
Police say hospital staff told
them Portillo had hemorrhaging
and a traumatic brain injury.
The fact that the teenager is five
months away from turning 18,
combined with the seriousness of
what happened, led Gill to push to
have him tried as an adult. A juve-
nile court judge will ultimately
rule on that request.
The chance of the teens reha-
bilitation is minimal, prosecutors
said in court documents.
League officials say they hadnt
had any problems with the teen-
ager prior to this incident.
Funeral services are being held
Wednesday in Salt Lake City for
Portillo, who leaves behind three
daughters and four grandchil-
dren.
A wake is scheduled to run
from 1 to 7 p.m., followed by a
religious service. Both are open to
the public.
After the funeral, Portillos
remains will be returned to
his hometown of Guadalajara,
Mexico. He moved to Utah from
there 17 years ago.
Family members said Portillo
loved soccer, and had been work-
ing as a referee in different leagues
for eight years. His oldest daugh-
ter, Johana Portillo, said he had
been attacked before by players,
even having his legs and ribs bro-
ken. Though his daughters begged
him to quit, he said he couldnt
give up his passion.

U.s. nate thompson (44) celebrates stephen Giontas (not in picture) goal with nick Bjugstad (14), Paul stastny (26) and craig
smith (15) during the 2013 ice hockey iihF World championships preliminary round match Usa vs Finland in helsinki, Finland,
on Wednesday, May 8, 2013.
HELSINKI Craig Smith had a
hat trick and teenager John Gibson
was stellar in net to lead the United
States over host Finland 4-1 at the
ice hockey world championship on
Wednesday.
Gibson, who finished with 31
saves, was a bold choice which paid
off for the Americans, who moved
above Finland in their group
second to Russia.
Though the 19-year-old has pri-
marily played junior league hockey
in Canada, hes a three-time world
age-group champion. Hes won
titles in the under-17 classification,
under-18, and at this years juniors
in Russia, where he was named
the most valuable player and best
goalie.
In other matchups, Switzerland
won its fourth straight game, beat-
ing Slovenia 7-1; Sweden stuffed
Norway 5-1; and Germany posted
its first win, 2-0 over Austria.
Smiths first goal evened the score
toward the end of the first period
when he received a pinpoint pass to
the far post from David Moss, who
teams on the Americans first line
with Paul Stastny. Moss and Stastny
each had two assists.
The U.S. was pinned in its own
end for most of the period, and it
looked as if it was still affected by a
hard fought loss the night before to
reigning champion Russia. But in
the second period, the Americans
continued to get their legs back and
played more aggressively.
Smith used smart screening by
Moss to make it 2-1 at 3:22 of the
third period before Stephen Gionta
added the third goal at 11:29, gath-
ering the puck in the neutral zone
as Juhamatti Aaltonen, the lively
Finnish forward, turned it over.
Before that, Gibson made a save on
a breakaway by Sakari Salminen.
He played an unbelievable
game, said Smith said. Gibson
is quite mature for his age. He
stepped up when he was needed,
and took a big win. We are all
happy for him.
Smith took a pass from Stastny
in the last minute and closed the
scoring with an empty-netter.
The Swiss made their point with
three goals in each of the first two
periods against Slovenia. Denis
Hollenstein had two goals and two
assists, Simon Bodenmann and
Luca Cunti each added a goal and
two assists, and Andres Ambuhl
and Reto Suri had a goal and an
assist apiece.
Sweden started well in the third
period, scoring three goals against
Norway and outshooting its neigh-
bor 48-21. Gabriel Landeskog
scored twice for Sweden, which
plays unbeaten Canada on
Thursday. Louie Eriksson, Andreas
Jamtin and Elias Falth also scored.
Both of Germanys goals against
Austria were by forward Markus
Kink. Rob Zepp earned the shutout
with 27 saves, 24 of them over the
first two periods.

BALTIMORE J.J. Hardy
homered, Chris Tillman won his
third straight start and the Balti-
more Orioles took advantage of
three errors by the Kansas City
Royals in a 5-3 victory Tursday
night.
Manny Machado scored a run
and hit an RBI single for the Ori-
oles, whose season-high fourth
consecutive win moved them
eight games over .500 (21-13) for
the frst time this year.
Baltimore has been outhit in
each of its past three games, in-
cluding 7-5 in this one. Te Ori-
oles are 3-6 when outhit by their
opponent.
Tillman (3-1) allowed three
runs and fve hits in six innings.
Te right-hander came in 0-2
with a 10.93 ERA in three career
starts against the Royals.
Troy Patton pitched the sev-
enth, Darren ODay and Brian
Matusz worked the eighth and
Jim Johnson got three outs for his
13th save.
It was the 34th successive save
opportunity converted by John-
son, tying the club record set by
Randy Myers in 1997.
Alex Gordon hit his second
home run in two games and Mike
Moustakas went 3 for 4 with a
homer for Kansas City.
Luis Mendoza (0-2) gave up
fve runs, three earned, and fve
hits in six innings for the Royals.
Te game turned in the ffh
inning, when the Orioles went
up 5-1 with a three-run uprising
fueled by three Kansas City er-
rors and a wild pitch. Afer Chris
Dickerson hit a leadof dou-
ble, shortstop Alcides Escobar
grabbed Nate McLouths sharp
grounder and tried to get Dick-
erson at third, but the throw hit
Dickerson to put runners at the
corners.
McLouth promptly stole sec-
ond, and Machado followed with
a single to bring home Dickerson.
Machado then stole second, and
McLouth came home afer Es-
cobar couldnt handle the poor
throw from catcher George Kot-
taras. Escobars throw home was
also of target, allowing Machado
to take third, and he scored when
Mendoza uncorked a wild pitch.
Baltimore took a 2-0 lead in the
second when Matt Wieters led of
with a single and Hardy followed
with a drive just inside the lef-
feld foul pole. It was his sixth
home run of the season, the third
in four games.
Mendoza didnt allow another
base runner until Hardy drew a
two-out walk in the fourth.
Tillman blanked the Royals on
two hits through four innings,
then retired the frst two batters in
the ffh before Gordon homered
to right. Tat ended Tillmans run
of consecutive scoreless innings
at 15, a streak that began on April
27 in Oakland.
ST. PAUL, Minn. Te Chi-
cago Blackhawks were beaten the
last game in the corners, along the
boards and by an overtime goal for
the Minnesota Wild.
By hurling their bodies in front
of puck afer puck, the Blackhawks
stopped the Wilds momentum
right where it started.
Patrick Sharp scored two goals
and the Blackhawks ratcheted up
their defense to put the Wild on the
brink of elimination with a 3-0 vic-
tory on Tuesday.
Its just been a calm, collected
confdence weve had all year. I
think we defnitely showed that
tonight, said goalie Corey Craw-
ford, who made
25 saves for his
second career
playof shutout.
So many power
play situations
for them, and
we just kept our
cool. We didnt
freak out on the
refs or lose it on
each other. We
just stuck with
it.
Bryan Bickell also scored for the
Blackhawks, who built a 3-1 lead in
this best-of-seven matchup. Game
5 is back in Chicago on Tursday
night.
People want to make a big deal
of the hits. Tats fne. Weve won
physical games before, Sharp said.
Weve won games with our speed
and playmaking ability. So what-
ever the type of game is out there, I
feel confdent in our guys.
Te Wild had another goalie get
hurt when Josh Hardings injury
forced Darcy Kuemper into action
afer the frst intermission. Sharp
scored on Chicagos frst shot at the
rookie 62 seconds into the second
period.
Minnesota, the only one of the
16 NHL playof teams without a
power-play goal this postseason,
went scoreless in six such situations
(including one 66 seconds into the
game and a back-to-back set in the
third period) and is 0 for 15 in the
series.
Just being smart in lanes and
battling for pucks. Tats been a
positive for our team all year, said
Blackhawks defenseman Duncan
Keith, who joined the team right
before the game afer being with his
wife earlier in the day for the birth
of their frst child.
When Niklas Backstrom was
injured warming up before Game
1, Harding was sent in. Tis time,
Harding was hurt afer Jonathan
Toews landed on top of him during
a collision in the crease. Hardings
legs were straddled around the lef
post. He got up
gingerly, staying
in to fnish the
opening period
afer shaking his
lef leg back and
forth several
times and test-
ing it with a slow
skate behind the
net. But Harding
didnt return to
the bench, and
Kuemper was in.
Kuemper, who made only three
starts this season, had a tough initi-
ation to the playofs. Sharp stole an
of-target pass by Zach Parise at the
Wild blue line, skated the other way
with a one-on-one and sent a wrist
shot between Kuempers pads for a
2-0 lead that defated the energy in
the arena.
I was going to shoot that puck.
It didnt matter who was in net,
Sharp said.
Harding stopped fve of six
shots; Kuemper made 16 saves. He
also gave up Bickells third goal of
the series, in the third period on a
shot that scraped the top of the net.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville
had little sympathy, and Wild coach
Mike Yeo declined to ask for any.
Ive seen a lot of crazy things in
the playofs. Youve got to predict
the unpredictable, Quenneville
said.
Ultimately, though, the guy be-
tween the pipes wasnt going to
matter much for the Wild the way
this game went.
Te Blackhawks havent been
themselves as an ofense in this
series, save for the 5-2 victory in
Game 2, but thats another testa-
ment to their dominance. Teyve
got the depth everywhere on the
roster to sustain a lagging top line.
Marian Hossa, Toews and Brandon
Saad have combined for only one
goal, and Toews and Saad dont
even have an assist yet.
But the Wild have had the same
problem, and theyre not nearly as
equipped to withstand it. Parise,
Mikko Koivu and Charlie Coyle
have combined for only one goal
themselves, and together theyve
posted a minus-14 rating over four
games.
It probably wasnt the greatest of
nights. But Ill say this: If you know
them the way that I do, youd be re-
ally excited to watch them play the
next game, Yeo said.
Even with Jason Pominvilles
sharp shot back on the point with
the frst power play unit, the home
team kept misfring. Whether a
one-timer that zipped wide of the
net or a slap shot blocked by one
of the self-sacrifcing Blackhawks,
Chicago blocked 20 shots over the
frst two periods and fnished with
26 for the game.
Minnesota attempted 68 shots to
Chicagos 46.
And the Wild, in addition to
their struggles with shooting ac-
curacy, paid for a couple of sloppy
plays. Tere was Parises intercept-
ed pass in the second period. And
midway through the opening pe-
riod, Hossa picked of a pass from
Koivu to Parise in the Wild zone.
Hossa sent the puck to Handzus,
whose slap shot was tipped in by
a perfectly positioned Sharp at the
edge of the crease.

The wildcats not only lead the Big
12 conference in batting average,
theyre the second ranked team in the
nation as of the last calculation. Their
.323 team mark puts them in second
behind new Mexicos .342. Sophomore
infelder Austin fisher leads the squad
with a .356 batting average. Junior
Jared King leads the team with 42
rBIs.
Kansas State pitching isnt far
behind, touting a 3.76 team erA into
the weekend matchup with Kansas.
freshman right-handed pitcher Jake
Matthys leads the team with a 7-0
record and a 1.73 in 24 appearances.
Another freshman right-hander levi
MaVorhis cracked the starting rota-
tion last week against Texas. Ma-
Vorhis is 4-0 with a 3.08 erA.
The wildcats are felding at a 97
percent clip on the season. This will
serve the wildcats well in hoglund
Ballpark as the Jayhawks will look
to continue their small ball tactics.
Solid felding can take the Jayhawks
out of this weekends series. If the
wildcats cant handle the bunt it
could be a long weekend in the Sun-
fower Showdown.
Kansas sophomore designated hit-
ter Connor McKay hit a bases clearing
three-rBI triple against wichita State
Tuesday. Add that to his recent hot per-
formance at the plate and the sopho-
more is on a bit of a streak. Senior frst
baseman Alex deleon continues his
solid year at the plate. The senior leads
the team with seven home runs and
.324 average leads the team.
Kansas closer Jordan Piche re-
corded another solid performance
entering Tuesdays game against the
Shockers with runners on frst and
third in the eighth inning. Piche
faced four batters striking out two
before recording his tenth save of the
season. Piche punched out the fnal
batter sending the Jayhawks into the
Sunfower Showdown riding a wave of
momentum.
Kansas continues to feld the ball
well behind solid pitching. Kansas
pitchers are pitching to contact. The
defense is getting the job done. A 97
percent felding percentage on the
season is one of the best in the Big
12 conference. The Jayhawks have
their hands full against Kansas
State, one of the best hitting teams
in the country.

Jayhawks claim No. 1 spot after this weekend
After claiming their first out-
door conference championship
in school history on Sunday,
the Kansas womens track and
field team reclaimed the No. 1
ranking in the NCAA this week
according to the U.S. Track &
Field and Cross County Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA). The
mens squad also made a splash
after their performance over the
weekend, moving into the top-25
for the first time this season and
sit at No. 22 in the USTFCCCA
rankings.
To go along with the team
Big 12 Outdoor Championship,
the womens team had a slew of
athletes who claimed individual
titles. Senior Paris Daniels led the
way, being named the National
Female Athlete of the Week by
the USTFCCCA after picking up
23 points in the league meet in
Waco, Texas. Her victory in the
200 meters and runner-up finish
in the 100 meters was essential in
separating the Jayhawks from the
University of Texas Longhorns,
who were the defending Big 12
Outdoor Champions.
Senior horizontal jumpers
Andrea Geubelle and Francine
Simpson claimed titles in the
triple jump and long jump,
respectively. Geubelle has the
longest triple jump mark in the
NCAA this outdoor season,
while Simpson holds the second
best long jump in the nation.
Sophomore Lindsay Vollmer
won the Big 12 title in the hep-
tathlon and currently has the
eighth highest heptathlon point
total in the nation. Junior Jessica
Maroszek threw her personal
best in the discus throw in win-
ning the conference title and cur-
rently has the fifth best mark in
the nation.
Olympic gold medalist and
Kansas junior Diamond Dixon
captured her third consecutive
Big 12 Outdoor title in the 400
meters. Her time of 51.73 is the
fastest time ran in that event
in the outdoor season. Dixon
and Daniels, with the help of
senior Denesha Morris, fresh-
man Tianna Valentine and senior
Taylor Washington, also ran on
the 4x100 and 4x400 teams that
captured conference titles as
well.
The Jayhawks are led on the
mens side by sophomore Michael
Stigler, who holds the fastest 400
meter hurdles time in the nation
with a time of 49.42. Senior Kyle
Clemons has the second fastest
400 meter time in the NCAA
after running a 45.10 over the
weekend. The duo both claimed
Big 12 titles in those respective
events last weekend in Waco.
Sophomores DeMario Johnson
Kenneth McCuin helped Stigler
and Clemons claim the league
title in the 4x400 meter relay as
well. Senior Jesse Vaughn won
the Big 12 with a season-best
javelin throw of 67.86 meters.
Josh Munsch ran his fastest
1500-meter time of the year
en route to a third-place finish
last weekend. The junior now
ranks No. 17 in the nation in that
event. Sophomore Casey Brown
achieved his personal best in the
pole vault, claiming second place
with a vault of 5.19 meters.
With both the men and
women reaching personal best
marks on the track and in the
field, the Jayhawks have plenty
to be excited about. The women
will have an opportunity to claim
their first national championship
in school history in less than a
month at the NCAA Outdoor
Championship in Eugene, Ore.,
and the men have a handful of
athletes that will compete for
a chance to win an individual
national title.
This weekend, the Jayhawks
have two tune-up meets to attend
as they prepare for the NCAA
meets. Many of the athletes will
travel to Atlanta for the Georgia
Tech Invitational, while a hand-
ful of athletes will make the short
trip west to Manhattan for the
Ward Haylett Invitational.

PITTSBURGH Felix
Hernandez scattered six hits
and Jesus Montero broke a tie
with a solo home run in the
seventh inning off A.J. Burnett
to help the Seattle Mariners
beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1
Wednesday.
Hernandez (5-2) struck out five
and walked one to improve to 4-0
in his last five starts while shaving
his ERA to 1.53. The right-hander
shook off a shaky first inning then
settled down to allow four base
runners in his final seven innings
of work. Tom Wilhelmsen worked
the ninth for his ninth save.
Burnett (3-3) was almost as
sharp, giving up just two hits over
seven innings while striking out
nine. Yet he also walked four bat-
ters and gave up Monteros third
homer of the season with one out
in the seventh.
Starling Marte had two hits
for Pittsburgh and Andrew
McCutchen added an RBI single
but the Pirates couldnt sweep the
brief two-game series.
The showdown between the
two staff aces lived up to its bill-
ing. Hernandez entered the game
ranked in the top five in the
American League in ERA and
strikeouts while Burnett came in
unbeaten in nearly a month and
second in the National League
in strikeouts behind New Yorks
Matt Harvey.
Hernandezs only miscue came
in the first. Starling Marte led off
with a double his 17th lead-
off hit this season then came
around to score when McCutchen
singled up the middle with one
out. Garrett Jones then walked,
but Pittsburghs promising inning
disappeared when Mike McKenry
hit into a double-play.
It was the fourth straight game
in which the Pirates let a poten-
tially big first inning slip away.
And Hernandez didnt botch
his reprieve. Pittsburgh only man-
aged to get one runner to third
the rest of the way. Jordy Mercer
doubled leading off the fifth and
advanced to third with one out.
Burnett, however, couldnt square
a sacrifice bunt and Marte struck
out.
Burnett cruised through the
first three innings, needing an
economical 32 pitches to retire
the first nine batters. Yet his con-
trol briefly abandoned him in the
fourth and his unfamiliarity with
backup catcher McKenry may
have cost the Pirates a run.
Michael Saunders and Jason
Bay walked leading off the fourth
and were on second and third with
two outs when Burnett bounced
a curveball to home plate that
smacked off McKenry who
was catching Burnett for just the
second time in the regular season
due to an neck injury to starter
Russell Martin and rolled away,
allowing Saunders to race home
and tie the game.
Burnett had little trouble with
one of the worst offenses in the
majors until the seventh, when
Montero took a 91 mph fastball
and put it in the first row of
seats in center. Hernandez and
Wilhelmsen took care of the rest
as the Mariners improved to 8-4
in their last 12 games as they try
to bounce back from a horrific
start.

CHICAGO Carlos Beltran
and Jon Jay drove in two runs
apiece, and the St. Louis Cardinals
capped an impressive trip with a
5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs
on Wednesday.
Beltran also had three hits as
St. Louis won for the seventh time
in eight games and improved to
a major league-best 14-7 on the
road. Te Cardinals went 5-1 on a
six-game swing to Milwaukee and
Chicago, with the lone loss coming
Tuesday in their frst game of the
season against the last-place Cubs.
Te Cardinals trailed 4-3 before
Beltran singled in Matt Carpenter
in the seventh, and Jay drove in
Yadier Molina with a tiebreaking
single against Michael Bowden (1-
2) in the eighth. Each rally featured
a costly mistake by the Cubs, with
Carpenter moving to third on an
error by right felder Nate Schier-
holtz and Molina advancing to sec-
ond on a wild pitch.
Anthony Rizzo had three hits
and Schierholtz hit a two-run
double for Chicago, trying for its
second three-game winning streak
this season. Instead, the Cubs fn-
ished a 4-6 homestand.
Chicago had 11 hits but ground-
ed into four double plays, one in
every inning from the ffh to the
eighth. Te last one was particular-
ly heartbreaking, with the potential
tying run on third.
Four Cardinals relievers com-
bined for 3 2-3 innings of two-hit
ball afer Jake Westbrook had his
worst start this season. Seth Ma-
ness (2-0) got fve outs to get the
win and Edward Mujica worked
the ninth for his ninth save in nine
opportunities.
Te afernoon game on a pic-
turesque spring day in Chicago
attracted 26,354 to Wrigley Field,
and fans were treated to a little bit
of everything. Tere were a couple
of adventures on the basepaths, a
rarely seen 4-2-3 groundout and a
bunch of singles just three of 22
hits were for extra bases. Julio Bor-
bon of the Cubs was called out for
interference for running inside the
baseline in the seventh.
Jays sacrifce fy gave the Cardi-
nals a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning,
but the Cubs responded with three
in the bottom half on two hits, a
walk, an unusual carom and a per-
fectly placed grounder.
With no outs and runners on
frst and second, Schierholtz pulled
a 3-2 pitch from Westbrook down
the frst-base line. Te ball bounced
of the wall in foul territory and out
into right feld, allowing Rizzo and
Luis Valbuena to scamper home.
Schierholtz moved up on a ground-
out and scored on Dioner Navarros
slow roller to make it 4-2.
Te Cardinals had their infeld
in with Navarro at the plate, but
Schierholtz scored easily. With
Molina standing in front of the
plate and pointing to frst, Carpen-
ter still came home with the throw
from second, and the Gold Glove
catcher made a strong throw to frst
to retire the lumbering Navarro.
Molina also cut down Rizzo
when the big frst baseman tried
to steal third following his two-out
RBI double in the frst. But the Car-
dinals had their own baserunning
blunder in the ffh, when Carpen-
ter was thrown out afer he made
a wide turn at second on Beltrans
run-scoring single.
Carpenters gafe became even
worse when Matt Holliday fol-
lowed with another single to put
runners on frst and second. Schi-
erholtz then bailed out Villanueva
with a nice sliding catch in right to
retire Craig and end the inning.
Westbrook allowed four runs
three earned and nine hits in 5
1-3 innings, increasing his ERA
from 1.07 to 1.62. He had allowed
just four earned runs all year.
Carlos Villanueva pitched 6
2-3 innings for Chicago and was
charged with three runs and seven
hits.

CINCINNATI Dan Uggla
hit a pair of solo homers and Juan
Francisco added his frst career
grand slam as the Atlanta Braves re-
covered from a stunning last-swing
loss by beating the Cincinnati Reds
7-2 Wednesday.
Atlanta took two of three in
the series, the frst the Reds lost
at home this season. Te Reds are
13-6 at Great American Ball Park,
the most home wins the majors.
Devin Mesoraco and Shin-Soo
Choo hit two-out homers in the
ninth inning for Cincinnatis 5-4
win on Tuesday night. A day later,
one of the NLs top power teams got
the better of it. Atlanta came into
the game tied with Colorado for
the NL lead with 44 homers.
Uggla had solo shots in the
fourth and sixth innings of Mike
Leake (2-2), his frst multihomer
game this season. Leake pitched
into the eighth, ending a streak
of six straight subpar starts by the
Reds rotation.
Franciscos slam of J.J. Hoover
highlighted a fve-run eighth in-
ning. Te Braves obtained Fran-
cisco in a trade with the Reds last
year for Hoover.
Jordan Schafer had three hits,
and Andrelton Simmons had a
career-high four hits in the top two
spots in Atlantas lineup.
Lef-hander Mike Minor (4-2)
allowed four hits in seven innings,
including Zack Cozarts homer in
the third. Jay Bruce had a solo shot
in the ninth of Anthony Varvaro.
Te game matched starting
pitchers taken back-to-back in the
2009 amateur draf. Minor was tak-
en seventh out of Vanderbilt, with
Leake drafed next out of Arizona
State.
Tere was a replay review in
the fourth, when Evan Gattis hit
a long foul down the third base
line. Braves manager Fredi Gon-
zalez talked to the umpires, who
reviewed the play for 3 minutes, 5
seconds and upheld the call. Gattis
struck out on the next pitch.
Up came Uggla, who homered
on the following pitch to tie it at 1.
Uggla is 4 for 10 career of Leake
with three homers.
Both teams wasted early bases-
loaded opportunities.
Cincinnati loaded the bases
with no outs in the second. Donald
Lutz fied out to lef feld, and Gat-
tis threw out Brandon Phillips at
the plate as he tagged on the play.
Te Braves loaded the bases with
one out in the third before Freddie
Freeman grounded into a double
play.
In addition to all the homers,
there were a lot of strikeouts in a
series matching teams that rank
frst and second in the NL at failing
to make contact. Te Braves fanned
32 times during the three games,
giving Atlanta a league-leading
304. Te Reds are next with 278.

SAN DIEGO Jason Marquis
has settled into a groove and it
shows.
Marquis outpitched Ricky
Nolasco, Yonder Alonso had a sac-
rifice fly in the sixth inning and
San Diego Padres beat the Miami
Marlins 1-0 on Wednesday to com-
plete a three-game sweep.
Marquis (4-2) allowed five hits,
walked one and struck out three in
eight innings, his longest stint since
last Aug. 11th when he had a 5-0
shutout at Pittsburgh.
I felt pretty good, Marquis said.
Ive been working real hard to get
my mechanics right the last couple
weeks of spring and the first prob-
ably four starts. ... Its easier now
that Ive figured a few things out.
I have the life back on my ball,
the north-south movement. (The)
defense is doing a great job allow-
ing me to pitch to contact and get
some quick outs.
Padres manager Bud Black cred-
ited Marquis sinker for the pitch-
ers effectiveness, especially noting
the 14 outs he got on grounders.
Today it was all about the
sinker, Black said. It was a basic
Marquis mix of fastball, sliders and
today with the heavy sinker down,
down, down. They hit a lot of
grounders and our infielders were
on their toes and made some great
defensive plays especially on the
left side of the infield.
Nolasco (2-4) gave up one run
and four hits, with one walk and
a season-high nine strikeouts in
seven innings. He had won his four
previous decisions at San Diego,
where he dropped to 4-2 with a
2.11 ERA in his career.
The Padres have won four
straight, 11 of their last 14 and
nine of their last 10 at home after
starting the season 5-15 overall. It
was their first sweep of the Marlins
at home since May 2005
The Marlins, who are last in
the majors in runs scored with 99,
scored just one run and had 17 hits
in three games against the Padres.
Wednesday was their sixth shutout
of the season.
