not only other people, but to the environment because a lot of people flush their medication down the toilet, KU Communications Coordinator Mai Hester said. The local police department offered two drug take-back collection sites, located at 4820 Bob Billings Parkway and 1100 Massachusetts Street. Altogether, the sites collected 401.5 pounds of unwanted tablets, capsules and liquid medicinal products. KUs Student Health Services and the School of Pharmacy also teamed up for their second year of participating in the event. Two locations were set up on campus last Wednesday; there was one outside of Wescoe and another in the parking lot of Watkins Memorial Health Center. The amount of collected drugs will be announced later this week. The City of Lawrence Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Facility accepts unwanted drugs year-round with an appointment.

Yacht demolished after collision, three sailors killed and a fourth missing
ENSENADA, mexico A 37foot racing yacht was reduced to debris that looked like it had gone through a blender, a searcher said Sunday after the boat apparently collided with a larger vessel, killing three sailors and leaving a fourth missing. The U.S. Coast Guard, the Mexican navy and civilian vessels scoured the waters off the shore of both countries for the missing sailor before suspending their search Sunday evening. The crew of four sailors was aboard the Aegean, which was reported missing Saturday during a 124-mile race from Newport Beach, Calif., to Ensenada, Mexico. It was Californias second deadly accident this month involving an ocean race.
Race officials said they had few explanations for what may have happened to the Aegean other than it must have collided with a ship like a freighter or tanker that did not see the smaller vessel. If the smaller boat was bobbing around in light wind, the crew might not have been able to get out of the way of a larger ship, said Rich Roberts, a spokesman for the Newport Ocean Sailing Association, the race organizer. The Coast Guard said conditions were fine for sailing, with good visibility and moderate ocean swells of 6-to-8 feet.
U.S. Coast Guard and the Mexican navy are searching for the fourth sailor after a racing yacht collided with a bigger vessel off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico.

America is on the decline. You hear that a lot these days. Were being compared to the British Empire or Rome just prior to its collapse. Some argue that we cannot compete with Chinas centrally controlled economic machine. Others contend that weve become complacent since our rise to super power status after WWII and let our game deteriorate. Some even say that the very core of our system, the notion that any person can achieve success here regardless of the circumstances of their birth, has itself rotted away. I reject these views and am here instead to argue that America can still be great in the 21st Century. First, I want to talk about what is wrong with the current state of our country and what must change going forward. Our current political climate is toxic and counterproductive. Despite what theyll tell you, neither party is without blame here. The most salient example of the complete dysfunction going on in Washington was the debt ceiling debate last fall. Neither side was willing to put political maneuvering aside and do what was right for the country. The result? The first debt downgrade in the history of our country and a blow to the worlds confidence in our economy. Even worse, the debacle raised questions about the very validity of a democratic system of governance. No political party won that showdown. When we cant look to our leaders with confidence, we become divided and disengaged. People dont want to talk about politics anymore, not because theyre too dumb to get it or too apathetic, but because the political climate has become so poisonous that such conversations inevitably end up offending somebody. The system has been taken over by radicals on each side who preach that compromise is not an option. Compounding this, cable news networks have replaced their journalistic integrity with a quest for ratings that has them catering to viewers with specific political beliefs. If youre a Republican, you can watch Fox News and hear what you want to hear. If youre a Democrat, MSNBC will reaffirm your beliefs. This type of environment prevents the open and honest conversations needed to address the problems we face, problems that must be addressed as US citizens, not along party lines. As a result,

I just got caught in the middle of a frat pack. It was exactly how you wouldnt want your night at the Roxbury to go. I was going to go to my 12 oclock class, but then I found out we were having grilled cheese for lunch. As if breaking up wasnt rough enough already, Somebody That I Used to Know had to reach the height of its popularity at the same time. I was typing the Burge Union in an email and noticed I accidentally typed the Urge Union. That moment of sheer bliss when your roommate finishes getting ready in the morning and leaves. Whats the point of posting the lecture slides after class? I needed them to help take notes DURIng class. I am wearing a green t-shirt and a purple hoodie, and Im in the mood for pizza. I feel like Donatello. You know youve been skipping class too much when its the last Monday of the semester and you dont remember what class you have first. The UDK needs a separate missed connections section so those creepy FFAs can be seen where people actually care. My car runs on gas, not friendship. So pay up! Im not giving up my fake relationship with someone I dont know for you. Why is there a ninja (or a guy attempting to be) in Wescoe? Calculus: reminding students they should have stayed in bed for centuries. Did you brush your teeth this morning? Doesnt smell like it. KU Campus: where squirrels are pumas. great, now the heat is on in Anschutz. Time to broil. If you are actually 21, it is not socially acceptable to be seen at The Hawk. My kids no longer play rock, paper, scissors. They now play rock chalk, paper, scissors. It never ends because rock chalk beats everything. I want to ask the girl in front of me if shes aware that her butt cheeks are hanging out of her shorts.
a great many people have lost faith in their government and have understandably removed themselves from the discussion in order to focus on other, more constructive aspects of their lives. There are many issues beyond the dysfunctional state of our political system that need to be addressed in order to return the country to a productive path. Changes must be made to entitlements, the tax code, spending etc.; the list is all too long. But the fact of the matter is, we already know how to fix those things. The fixes arent being implemented because of juvenile infighting going on in Washington DC. Fix that and everything can be fixed. We deserve better than this and as voting citizens, we have the right and means to get something better. This brings me to what is right
with our country and how we can use it to restore Washington to something we can be proud of. You are right with America. You chose to attend KU to educate yourself, to learn about the world and form your own opinions. And There are many, many others like you across the country and while they may not all be attending college, they all share your fundamental desire to continually make themselves better through their unique pursuits. You all feel that deep down, regardless of where you come from, you can do anything in this country. You all understand that this belief is what made the American system work so well its not like that everywhere in the world. So now its time for you to demand that politics dont impede that system. Its time to reject the team nature of politics, the notion that youre either red or blue and have to adopt all of that sides ideas and candidates in order to be on their team. Change the channel or radio dial when you arent hearing both sides of an issue. If media companies want to play the ratings game thats fine, but theyll be forced to
change what they broadcast if you refuse to listen to bias and misinformation. Engage others in conversation about the issues you think matter and most importantly, listen to what they have to say and never insult them for their beliefs. Youll quickly find that compromise is usually the best answer and should be what democracy is all about. The end of the year is a busy time, but a break is coming quickly. Hopefully that time can be used to think about these ideas. Dont get me wrong, I know that not everybody is interested in politics, and they dont have to be. Thats why our system allows us to choose people who will be interested for us. But I do know that the majority I spoke of earlier, whats right with our country, expects to continue to live in a place where anything is possible. Elections are how we send messages to our leaders, lets use 2012 prove that our system works and that America can still be great in the 21st Century.

AdVICE Are Americans overlooking foreign contributions? Living minimally: A why less is more
s Americans, we pride ourselves on quite a bit. Were the greatest, the strongest, the most free, a superpower, a world leader, what have you. And when it comes to technology, at least, the United States has a proud tradition of innovation and entrepreneurship. Look no further than big names like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg, whose products enrich our lives and set high standards for our competition. But if you look a little closer than All-Americans like Steve, Bill, and Mark, youll notice something. Do Pierre Omidyar, Sergey Brin, and Jerry Yang sound familiar? Maybe not. How about eBay, Google, or Yahoo, the companies each of these immigrants helped found? Those who are fervently anti-immigrant are likely blissfully ignorant of the contributions foreign-born researchers, developers, and scientists have made in the United States. After all, it is hard to argue with facts, especially those that reveal that immigrant-founded companies based in the U.S. employ over 400,000 Americans and generate billions in revenue each year. And I dont hear anti-immigrant protestors complaining about the pharmaceuticals, computer systems, and hundreds of other products

created through the work of immigrants who are listed as contributors on over 25% of U.S. global patent applications. People should worry about immigration, but the concern shouldnt be over who we let into this country; it should be over who we are keeping out. It may surprise you that in the U.S., over half of the doctorates awarded in mathematics, computer sciences, physics, and economics are earned by students from another country. That number increases to over 60% in engineering. The United States doesnt have a problem with attracting students to American universities. But after we educate them, our abysmal visa system sends the vast majority of them home to their countries of origin where they create products and services that compete with those in America. Where is the sense in that? When 64% of Indian students and 68% of Chinese
students educated in the U.S. hope to start a business within the next decade, we should be capitalizing on the chance to jumpstart the economy and put Americans to work. We should be finding ways to increase visas for entrepreneurs and innovators, removing barriers to access, and creating environments that welcome the best talent in the world, regardless of origin. And we better do it soon. While Congress drags its feet through another election year and the public continues to think of immigration as a fourletter word, our competition in the international race for talent is rolling out the welcome mat for the highly-skilled immigrants we are chasing away. While the UK, Canada, Russia, Chile, Brazil, and Singapore reform their systems in order to attract the next Zuckerburg or Omidyar, the U.S. should remember that pride is a dangerous thing. With an immigrant tradition as strong as Americas, we would do well to return to our roots in order to defend our status as the land of opportunity.

@udK_Opinion Hes Just not That Into You ...sad, but true.
Its often said that our country is materialistic and is always looking for more whether its technology or clothing or food. Is there an objective way of determining if this is valid? This past weekend I sat down to watch the second half of the Matrix Revolutions to get my dose of Keanu Reeves. I have Direct TV and a DVR that I use to record movies and shows but unfortunately this movie in particular was on live and I had no choice but to sit through the commercials. At first I was impatient and annoyed at the commercials, but eventually I started to enjoy the commercials as a part of the movie experience. It built anticipation and whenever I saw Keanu doing Ju-Jitsu, it was all the sweeter. There is almost nothing we enjoy that isnt temporary, fleeting, or not always available. A good example is the commercials that made it exciting for me when the movie came back on. In Behavioral Analysis, this is referred to as deprivation. Deprivation is one of the main principles of reinforcement and the level of deprivation influences how hard we will work to get the reinforcer. A simple example is if you havent eaten all day and it is 3 p.m., you are probably more likely to put forth more effort to get food than if you were stuffed and didnt want anything to eat. Similarly, because I was deprived of watching Keanu give cheesy one-liners during commercials, I was reinforced more when the movie came back on. Psychology can also support the notion that less is more. Shawn Anchor is the CEO of a company called Good Think Inc. and he teaches about an upcoming trend called Positive Psychology. In his TED talk, Anchor discusses how, as individuals, we constantly heighten our goals when achieved and we focus on the next hurdle instead

of staying in the present. He says that this approach bleeds through management styles, parenting styles, and our general culture in America. His research seems to support our countries notion that we want more, more, and more. Entrepreneur Graham Hill, the founder of treehugger.com and lifeedited.com also gave a TED talk about how we waste space, money, and hurt the environment with our attachment to material goods. According to Hill we have three times more space for our stuff than we did fifty years ago but have significantly less room as illustrated by the rise in the 22 billion dollar storage industry. Why is this a problem? He cites credit card debt, environmental impact, and a whole lot of stress that goes with owning so much. Lifeedited.org is his website where he gives advice, help, and links to create an apartment where one multi-purpose room can become 24 different rooms. Over time it saves money, stress, space, and helps the environment. So how do we know that less is more isnt just grandma telling us to save our pennies? Id argue that we know because people from different social science fields, entrepreneurs, and other individuals are creating independent, yet valid arguments for why less is more. Various proponents focus on quantifiable evidence, experimental evidence, observational evidence, etc. At some point though we just have to look around at all the extraneous stuff we have and ask as Graham Hill does, Is that really going to make me happier?

Mary Green, Peg Armstrong and Jan Perrault hold up signs during Womens Health Express, a bus event held in San Antonio, Texas on March 6, 2012, to protest the attempt to cut Planned Parenthood out of the states Womens Health Plan. Federal Judge Lee yeakel ruled Monday there is sufficient evidence a law barring Planned Parenthood from participating in the Texas Womens Health Program in unconstitutional and stopped the state from banning the organization from receiving state funds. payer funds from supporting abortion providers and affiliates in the Womens Health Program, Frazier said. Patricio Gonzales, CEO of Planned Parenthood Association of Hidalgo County, called on the Republican governor to stop trying to shut down Planned Parenthood in Texas. No woman should ever have to fear being cut off from her doctors care because of shortsighted political games, Gonzales said. The courts decision comes after the federal government cut off funding to Texas because of the state regulation excluding affiliates of abortion providers. Federal officials said the rule violates federal law by restricting women from choosing the qualified medical provider of their choice. Perry promised to make up for the lost federal funds. State health officials say maintaining the program was cheaper than allowing it to expire, because ending the program would result in a spike in unplanned pregnancies among poor women who rely on Medicaid, which is also funded by the state. Planned Parenthood won a similar injunction earlier this year against the states new requirement that doctors perform a sonogram

before conducting an abortion. That injunction was overturned by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit and the law allowed to stand. No matter what the appeal court decides, Yeakels decision is temporary. A final decision will come after he presides over a full trial. Whatever decision he reaches will likely be appealed.

Crowded ferry boat in India occupy activists might slow capsizes and kills 41 people May Day commutes with protests
ASSocIAtED PRESS
GAUHATI, India An overcrowded ferry boat capsized in heavy winds and rain in remote northeastern India late Monday, killing at least 41 people and leaving at least 150 others missing, police said. Divers and rescue workers with rubber rafts scoured the Brahmaputra River early Tuesday in the search for survivors amid the floating debris, which was all that remained of the ferry. The boat was packed with around 350 people. A passenger, Hasnat Ali, told local television that about 200 people were packed inside the boat along with cargo, and that he and around 150 others were riding on the roof when a storm hit as the ferry was heading to the shore to dock. The boat was tossed about and many of those on the roof were thrown off and managed to swim to shore before the ferry was dashed to pieces, he said. He managed to cling to a log and was later rescued by local villagers, he said. Assam state police chief J.N. Choudhury said the people traveling on the top level were saved. But 41 bodies have been found and rescuers are searching for at least 150 people who are missing, police said. Choudhury said the accident occurred near Fakiragram in west Dhubri district, about 350 kilometers (215 miles) west of the state capital, Gauhati, and close to where the river enters Bangladesh. He said officials in that country had been contacted for help. The area is dotted with riverside settlements and small islands, and boats are the most common mode of transport. Most ferries are overcrowded, with little regard for safety regulations. Strong winds and rain likely caused the accident, Choudhury said. Police and paramilitary soldiers were sent to help local villagers with rescue efforts, he said. Mohan Lal, a senior officer with the Border Security Force, said 35 troops were at the accident site on boats and were using hand-held searchlights. He said a team of federal rescue workers was also on its way. Lal said troops had located the upturned and broken pieces of the boat but were unable to lift them without a crane.

SAN FRANCISCO May Day protests may disrupt the morning commute in major U.S. cities Tuesday as labor, immigration and Occupy activists rally support on the international workers holiday. Demonstrations, strikes and acts of civil disobedience are being planned around the country, including the most visible organizing effort by anti-Wall Street groups since Occupy encampments came down in the fall. While protesters are backing away from a call to block San Franciscos Golden Gate Bridge, bridge district ferry workers said theyll strike Tuesday morning to shut down ferry service, which brings commuters from Marin County to the city. Ferry workers have been in contract negotiations for a year and have been working without a contract since July 2011 in a dispute over health care coverage, the Inlandboatmens Union said. A coalition of bridge and bus workers said they will honor the picket line, which may target an area near the bridges toll plaza. Occupy activists from San Francisco and Oakland are expected to join the rally. We ask supporters to stand with us at strike picket lines on May Day and to keep the bridge open, said Alex Tonisson, an organizer and co-chair of the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition. Police say they are working with other area law enforcement agencies and have a plan in place for
potential disruptions. They would not discuss specifics. Across the bay in Oakland, where police and Occupy protesters have often clashed, officers are preparing for a long day as hundreds of General Strike signs have sprouted across town. In New York City, where the first Occupy camp was set up and where large protests brought some of the earliest attention and mass arrests to the movement, leaders plan a variety of events, including picketing, a march through Manhattan and other creative disruptions against the corporations who rule our city. Organizers have called for protesters to block one or more bridges or tunnels connecting Manhattan, the citys economic engine, to New Jersey and other parts of the city. The Occupy movement began in September with a small camp in a
lower Manhattan plaza that quickly grew to include hundreds of protesters using the tent city as their home base. More than 700 people were arrested Oct. 1 as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. The city broke the camp up in November, citing sanitary and other concerns, but the movement has held smaller events and protests periodically since then. Elsewhere on the West Coast, Occupy Seattle has called for people to rally at a park near downtown Tuesday. Mayor Mike McGinn has warned residents there could be traffic delays and has said city officials have evidence including graffiti and posters that some groups plan to commit violence, damage property and disrupt peaceful free speech activity. In Los Angeles, demonstrators are planning to take to the streets to champion immigrant rights.

COMMENTARY
With Taylor on the mound, the team hopes to improve its away record

By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
remember the first time I stepped foot in Lawrence: Feb. 16, 2008. Man, it was cold, but it was the visit that changed my life. For a kid coming from Atlanta, the notion of attending the University of Kansas isnt just rare, it is absolutely unheard of. With almost all my friends going to schools in the Southeast like Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Auburn, I was the one who ventured over to the Midwest. Im sure most out-of-state students share this experience, but when someone asks us where we go to school, and we proudly tell them Kansas, some variation of the same response always ensues: Oh. really. Whyd you choose Kansas? I want to roll my eyes every time I hear that question, and I cringe as a Wizard of Oz reference often serves as a complement to the inquiry. But at the same time, I love to answer that question: Why did I choose Kansas? Most college students across the country love their school, but they dont know what theyre missing here. For me, it only took a few minutes on campus to know that Kansas was where I wanted to be. Despite an enrollment of around 27,000 students, the University of Kansas is as much of a family as it is a university. When Thomas Robinson tragically lost his mother and grandparents in a four-week span, the entire KU community rallied around Robinson and his sister, Jayla. Even with the loss and heartbreak Kansas let Robinson know that he was not alone. The phrase Family Over Everything embodies the basketball program, but there are no three better words to describe this University. It only takes watching one game at Allen Fieldhouse to see how much the students and alumni care about their school. When Robinsons eardrumrattling block against Missouri sent Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy, it didnt matter whether we knew the people around us or not. Everyone hugged as if theyd known each other their whole lives. Kansas extends beyond athletics and winning and losing. It is a home. As I walk on Jayhawk Boulevard each day and gaze at the Memorial Campanile, I know I made the right choice. Being a Jayhawk is much more than a school mascot. Its a part of every students identity here at Kansas and something that I will always cherish.. As I finish my last column for The University Daily Kansan, I grow excited for the next stage in my life. But, at the same time, Im grateful for the last four years. Oh, really. Whyd you choose Kansas? I know Ill get the question again, and when I do, I will simply respond: Its the only place Id ever want to go to school. Rock Chalk. Edited by Bre Roach

hen the Kansas womens basketball team returned home from the NCAA tournament, I sat down with Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger to talk about the progress of the program and the success of the team under the guidance of coach Bonnie Henrickson. After all, this was the teams first conference appearance since 2000. He compared the season to a fairy tale, and as the Kansans lead womens basketball reporter for two years, I felt like that was appropriate. In retrospect, I would compare this season to Sleeping Beauty with a dash of Aishah Sutherlands California cool added in. The team started the year with high expectations, but was surrounded with the pressure of previous seasons in which they did not live up to the hype. But despite the critics, the team breezed through non-conference play, finishing 13-1. Still, the shadow of inconsistent conference play and season-ending injuries lingered overhead. Henrickson guided them past these challenges, working to protect her team and lead it to the tournament. In the start of conference play, the Jayhawks were victorious across the

kgier@kansan.com Big 12 kingdom with three-straight road wins and a 4-1 record. Suddenly, they were ranked second in the conference and their season looked bright. But Kansas hit a snag when it lost three consecutive games to the ranked trio: Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. However, they then returned home and picked up a win against Texas to complete their first season sweep. After their victory, though, they traveled to Manhattan where the dark shadows were looming. This is where the team pricked its finger on the spindle and fell under the spell. Darkness fell over the Jayhawks season as their captain and veteran forward Carolyn Davis suffered a season-ending knee injury. The Jayhawks seemed lost. Kansas dropped five of the next
season with summer training in Italy where they danced while waiting for boats and buses. They did The Wobble at Late Night with a hesitant coach. The season started smoothly and kept getting more exciting. When Davis was injured, the team wobbled, but they never fell. One long month later, they were dancing again. The season was not perfect by any means, but it ended happily. Davis is recovering, and Goodrich will return. Henrickson will safely rule in her throne as queen with the team surrounding her. Their storybook may have closed on this season, but the Jayhawks are praticing, preparing for even greater adventures to come. Edited by Taylor Lewis

Knicks reach embarrassing post season milestone, may lose Stoudemire to injury
aSSocIateD pReSS
MIAMI The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their center right after. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 10494 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss. Making matters worse for the Knicks: Amare Stoudemire cut his left hand in a postgame incident. The Knicks did not immediately release any details on how it happened, and coach Mike Woodson who saw the cut declined to offer specifics. Lets talk about the game, Woodson said. Thank you. Miami-Dade paramedics, who staff every game at the arena, were seen leaving the Knicks locker room after the game. The Knicks said doctors and paramedics were working on Stoudemire, who was expected to need stitches. LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Heat, who lead the Eastern Conference first-round series 2-0. Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points on 12-for-26 shooting for New York, which got 18 points from Stoudemire and 13 apiece from Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith. The only other team to lose 12 straight playoff games is the Memphis Grizzlies, who dropped their first dozen postseason contests from 2004 through 2006. New Yorks last postseason win came April 29, 2001. The Knicks get another chance to snap the drought Thursday when they host Game 3. Mario Chalmers scored 13 points and Mike Miller and Shane Battier each shot 3 for 5 from 3-point range on their way to 11-point games for the defending East champion Heat, who shot 52 percent. Every game we try to find our shooters, get them comfortable in the offense and once they catch them, they can let it fly, James said. It was concerted effort tonight to get them the ball and move the ball from one side to the other. Baron Davis, who sat most of the first half and has been battling back issues, finished with 12 points for the Knicks. Along with the Grizzlies, the Knicks were one of four teams in NBA history with 11-game postseason losing streaks, according to STATS LLC, joining Denver (198894) and the Baltimore Bullets (1965-70). The Heat came into the game saying they expected Anthony to be much more aggressive. They were right. Anthony opened with an 11-shot quarter the last time someone took more in the first 12 minutes of a playoff game was May 15, 2006, when Richard Hamilton got 12 shots off for Detroit against Cleveland. Anthony missed all seven of the jumpers he took in Game 1 when guarded by James, then got his first one to fall on the games first possession Monday. By halftime, Anthony was up to 21 points on 9-for-18 shooting, the Knicks needing all that and more. Wade, James and Bosh combined for 41 points in the first two quarters, helping Miami take a 53-47 lead. Unlike Game 1, it wasnt over by halftime. And play was heated, just not overheated. Chandler, who set a back pick that sent James tumbling late in Saturdays first half, picked up a technical for taunting early in the second quarter when he went over Miller for a putback dunk and then glared at him for a few moments. A few minutes later, James did a fistpump toward the seats after a layup late in the half. But whenever Miami was on the cusp of pulling away, New York had answers. Consecutive baskets by James midway through the third quarter, the second of those good enough for him to merit it worthy of a chest-bump and long look at the Knicks bench, put Miami up 67-56 then its biggest lead. Four minutes later, the Knicks were within four, a dunk by Chandler making it 72-68 with 1:37 left in the period. Miamis margin was back to nine after a flurry ended the quarter. James drove right and got just about every Knick to shift with him, leaving Battier all alone for a 3-pointer, and James three-point play as the shot clock was running down had him laughing and the Heat up 78-69 going into the fourth. The Knicks never got any closer.

VaLguS Knee
Valgus Knee or knock kneed is a term used to describe what happens to a woman when they suffer a non-contact ACL injury. In Dr. Hewetts findings of his Nov. 10 piece named, Why women have an increased risk of ACL injury, His results indicated that valgus torque is controlled primarily by hip torque during a two-footed landing, but more by the change in the ground reaction force during single-leg tasks. Altering and enhanced training may increase leg control and decrease hip and knee valgus torques in females.
One of the people thats been with Davis and many of the Jayhawks is Ann Turner the fulltime athletic trainer for the womens basketball team. Throughout the year, Turner can be spotted testing out players on the bench as they wince at the end of the bench making sure that nothing major has happened during a game while they are injured. . Turner came to Kansas as a graduate student after finishing up her undergraduate degree at the University of WisconsinMadison. After two years training the swimming and diving team, she moved over to the Jayhawks womens basketball team five years ago. Turner worked with many of the injured players on the Kansas roster including Davis, Goodrich and Jackson on not only their ACL problems, but also any other ailments. Every time I have an injury I go back and re-look at what we do, Turner said. Theres always something to be learned from it. Turner realizes after helping through all of these ACL injuries that theres more to the womens basketball mindset than just getting them through the physical

1. After the surgery Dr. Randal instructs patients to be in the immobilizer for two weeks. 2. Then Turner works with the players and switch to a functional brace until the six-week mark, all day, every day. Turner does this so their range of motion gets better and swelling will be removed from the knee. At this time Turner is working on basic strength. 3. At the 12-week mark more Turner tries to get as much strength back into their knee as possible. She also wants to get more strength around the knee, especially with hamstrings and quadriceps. During this period, Turner works on basic running, landing mechanics, real easy jogging, cutting and jumping. 4. The goal for Turner is to have the player ready to go at the 6-month mark so they can participate in full contact drills and be back with the team. Turner also continues to work on landing mechanics and doing some different rotational drills to adapt to the rotational force once again.

Kayaker trains for gold, Kentucky Derby lacks a works to overcome Crohns clear prediction for winner
mccLAtchY tRIBUNE
The 28-year-old kayaker can handle endless days of training on the water. She can remain calm in a race the flatwater sprint that requires two minutes of explosive strength and steely nerves. But as Johnson prepares for her third consecutive Olympic Games this summer, something else could squash her medal hopes before she so much as reaches the starting line. Its frustrating, she said. And I have no control over it. Crohns disease is an autoimmune disorder that afflicts the digestive tract. The symptoms can include pain, fatigue and weight loss, and they can flare up at any time. With no known cure, Crohns has forced Johnson to miss competitions and skip training for long stretches of time. As the 2012 London Olympics approach, she must keep it at bay for the next three months. Youre continually trying to manage it and watch for the warning signs, she said. Thats all you can do. Not much slowed the San Diego native as a teenager. She competed in gymnastics for more than a decade before discovering kayaking at a junior lifeguard program. National coaches soon took note of this new paddler, built light and strong, and brought her into developmental camps at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. By 17, she was competing internationally. But then, in 2003, Johnson began to suffer unexplained fatigue and anemia. The symptoms grew serious enough that she had to turn down a spot on the U.S. team headed for the world championships. After months of medical examinations, a doctor finally diagnosed the problem. I had never heard of Crohns, so that was scary, Johnson said. It took awhile to really learn about it and get over freaking out. The Internet offered tales of the disease in its worst forms, but many of the estimated 700,000 Americans affected by this malady experience lesser symptoms. Diet and medication can go a long way toward managing Crohns. Barely a year after her initial diagnosis, Johnson was racing in the 500-meter sprint at the 2004 Athens Games, finishing one spot out of the finals. She has a really good strengthto-weight ratio, said Stein Jorgensen, a former Olympian who coaches her. She gets out really well and can usually put some distance between herself and her opponents.

This years running of the Kentucky Derby has more than its share of story lines with no horse clearly head and hooves above the others. Theres the first horse in more than 100 years trying to win the Derby without racing as a 2-yearold, or the horse trying to become only the eighth in history to be undefeated and win the celebrated race, or how about the early favorite who was a lock until finishing third in a recent race. All this means for Saturdays self-proclaimed greatest two minutes in sports is a lot of guessing and the hope for a lot of racing luck. They all have questions, which is why its so wide open, said Mike Battaglia, who will set the morning line for the Derby after
Wednesdays post-position draw. The horse that more people seem to love than hate is Union Rags, who was considered the easy favorite before finishing third in the Florida Derby. It was a tough race where he was caught behind horses and ran out of room. But, a truly great horse, finds a way to win. Union Rags didnt. All I want for the Kentucky Derby is to have Union Rags in a position to win and see if he can win, said jockey Julien Leparoux. Hes a great horse. We definitely have a great chance. Union Rags was second in the Breeders Cup Juvenile and won by four lengths in the Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park. He has won four of six races.

plenty left in the tank when he held off a hard-charging Alpha. But the Wood was his only major race. He has won a maiden sprint, an optional claimer, the Kentucky Jockey Club (as a 2-year-old), an allowance race and then the Wood. Two of those wins have come over the Churchill Downs surface. Two of the more talked-about horses have primarily run on the West Coast. Creative Cause won the San Felipe and then finished second to Ill Have Another by a nose in the Santa Anita Derby. And Bodemeister, trained by Bob Baffert, finished second in the San Felipe and then ran away with the Arkansas Derby. Creative Cause has won four of his eight races and finished second and third twice. Bodemeister wasnt even considered the best horse in Bafferts barn when the 3-year-old campaign started. And, not many people were paying attention when he went to Arkansas. But his win by 9{ lengths got people talking about this lightly raced colt. If he wins he will be the first horse in the history of the Derby to win without running as a 2-year-old. Hes naturally quick, said his jockey, Mike Smith. Get him out (of the gate) quick and then try and get him relaxed and go from there. ... He impressed me a whole lot more than I already was with him. That last eighth of a mile (in Arkansas) was pretty impressive. The other horse expected to get some betting action is Dullahan, who won the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. However, he is 0 for 3 running at Churchill Downs, including a fourth-place finish in the Breeders Cup Juvenile. And who can leave out Hansen (winner of the BC Juvenile) or Take Charge Indy (winner of the Florida Derby) or Went the Day Well (whose connections won the Derby last year with Animal Kingdom) or ... A competitive race to say the least.

But things immediately brightened up when injured designated hitter Victor Martinez limped into the Detroit clubhouse. Martinez, expected to miss most of the season after injuring his knee during offseason workouts, hadnt been to Comerica Park yet this year. It is really great to be back here, he said. I cant tell you how much I miss this. Martinezs arrival seemed to energize his smiling teammates. It feels good to be able to walk back in here and be with these guys. No one else understands how special this is, Martinez said. Now that I got rid of my crutches well, I still have them, but Im going to make a fire with them Ill be here more often.

One weekend winning the PGA, marrying his wife the next
ASSocIAtED PRESS
AVONDALE, La. A first-time PGA Tour winner one weekend, a married man the next. The spring of 2012 will go down as a memorable time in Jason Dufners life. Although it took pair of playoff holes, Dufner finally proved he could hold it together and make a mid-tournament lead stand up, making a birdie on his second extra trip down the par-5 18th hole at the TPC Louisiana to win the Zurich Classic in a playoff with Ernie Els. Its always really tough playing on Sundays whether youre in the lead or middle of the pack, and today I was fighting, trying to win an event, and I think I showed myself a good bit out there, said the 35-year-old Dufner, whose wedding is next weekend. Ernie made a great run at me and it felt like with five or six holes (to go) we were probably going to be battling for the win. Dufner, whose average score at the cut this season ranks second on the Tour, finished atop the leader board for the first time in 164 career PGA Tour starts. Now if he can only figure out his honeymoon plans. The honeymoon is going to be at The Players Championship, Dufner joked about the event in two weeks at TPC Sawgrass. They got an island green. Dufners fiance, Amanda Boyd, wasnt about to complain. Watching from behind the 18th green, she was tearful as Dufner finally made the clutch shots he needed to finish on top. Its awesome. Hes been so close so many times. I dont feel like its real, Boyd said. It will be a good wedding. Dufner said he was more nervous about his final putt of less than 2 feet than about his impending marriage. Theres a been a good bit of pressure, Dufner said. People talking about, Why arent you winning? Why cant you close the deal? ... Friends, family, media, even people in my inner circle. And not in a negative way, but when youre leading tournaments going into weekends and youre finishing 24th, theres going to be some questions. The win should also stamp out some of the bad memories haunting Dufner since the Masters, when he shared the lead after two rounds but faded to 24th. Dufner lost playoffs last year to Mark Wilson in the Phoenix Open and Keegan Bradley in the PGA Championship for two of his three career runner-up finishes. He had held five previous leads through two rounds, including twice this year. Entering the fourth round with a two-shot lead in New Orleans, Dufner shot a 2-under 70, while Els had a 67 to match Dufner for a course-record 19-under 269 total. Both missed birdie putts within 8 feet in the first playoff, so they went back to the 18th tee for the second extra hole, which Dufner won by hitting the green in two strokes and tapping home a short birdie putt after Els birdie attempt from the fringe narrowly missed. The 6-foot-3 Els, who goes by the nickname The Big Easy, hasnt won on the PGA Tour since the 2010 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, a little more than two wedding, obviously, added Dufner, years ago. He did not have a bogey in the who earned $1,152,000. Theyre a final round or the playoff, and little more expensive than I thought could have celebrated his 19th or had imagined. ... Itll be a big celcareer PGA Tour title in the Big ebration not only for our marriage but also for my Easy if he could first victory out have made a birdon the Tour. ie putt of a little Its always really tough Luke Donald less than 6 feet on playing on Sundays shot a 67 to the first playoff whether youre in the lead finish third at hole. 17 under, and It was a nice or middle of the pack, move past Rory little charge I and today I was fighting, McIlroy for the made and, you trying to win an event, and No. 1 ranking in know, nice to I think I showed myself a the world. catch the leader, Defending Els said. I had a good bit out there, Zurich Classic chance to win the jASON dufNeR champ Bubba tournament with pro golfer Watson, playa 6-footer and ing for the first missed it, but I made quite a few putts on the back time since a life-changing win at nine to keep myself in it. ... Hit the the Masters over Easter weekend, ball pretty well today no bogeys on the final round so theres a lot of positives. On the second playoff hole, Els tee shot went into a fairway bunker, and his second shot landed 137 yards from the pin. His third shot landed on the fringe, nearly 19 feet from the pin, but he nearly saved birdie from there, his putt missing by 2 inches. Dufner then made his birdie putt, and in his typically low-key way, briefly raised both arms to acknowledge the cheering crowd before casually walking off the green to accept some congratulatory hugs. After becoming the seventh player to take his first career PGA Tour triumph in New Orleans since 2002, Dufner called it a great wedding present for himself and his bride to be. It helps with paying for the
entered the final round eight shots off the lead. He was unable to mount a charge after bogeys on his first two holes. He wound up tied for 18th at 11 under, a solid outing by most standards, but one of his worst finishes of the year. All in all, pretty good week being tired, coming back for the first time after winning the Masters, all this different media attention, Watson said. Its something you got to get used to. (It) wears on you, tires you out. Somehow I finished Im in the top 20. A lot of guys wished they did that. Els and Dufner were tied at 19 under after 11 holes. Els made par on each of his final seven holes of regulation. Dufner made par on his final eight, none more difficult than on 16, when he hit into water, but salvaged par with a 44-foot
putt. Els 17-foot birdie putt on 18 missed by about an inch, opening the door for Dufner to win in regulation if he could birdie the 585-yard hole to cap his fourth round. While Els was on the practice green preparing for a possible playoff, Dufner chipped on to set up a potential winning putt from 10 1/2 feet. Although he could not convert, pushing the ball about a foot past the right edge of the hole, he made up for it in the playoff. Obviously, I havent had a great history in playoffs last year, Dufner said. It kind of enters your mind: Im in another playoff. Am I going to be able to get this done? He wont have to ask himself that question any more.

have to wait to be able to see what he can do. Coach Weis said he expects to hear about McCays eligibility by May 2.
Opurum was a part of the blue team defense that shut out the white team offense. Still, Opurums production of one solo tackle and two assists Saturday was underwhelming, as there were multiple opportunities to increase his statistics.
While Opurums one tackle was for a loss, he still left more to be desired following the game. Hell have to be a leader if the defense is going to improve this season. edited by max lush
