STREAK OVER
Big 12 upset
Jayhawks lose to Texas Longhorns after four years of not losing a single game at home.
BY MIKE LAVIERI
Texas A&M Corpus Christi, which broke the longest home winning streak in school history. The last home-court loss for the Jayhawks, before Saturday, came on Feb. 3, 2007 to another Texas school: Texas A&M. The Aggies defeated the Jayhawks 69-66, 1450 days ago, or three years, 11 months and 20 days. Brady Morningstar is the only current player who experienced the loss that night. You never like to lose, Morningstar said. Obviously we had a streak going, but we arent playing for the sake of a streak.
All losses hurt, especially ones at home, but they happen to everybody. The Jayhawks hope to start a new streak on Saturday when instate rival, Kansas State, comes to Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas record was the 11th all-time among home-court winning streaks. Kentucky holds the record of 129 games that spanned 12 years from 1943-1955. Duke currently holds the longest streak at 30 games.

Case competition gives graduate students in the School of Business the chance to gain real-world experiences.
Eighty-eight commercial buildings are up for sale in Lawrence, according to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Some buildings have been on the market for years, but many are recently listed. As businesses continue to close, Lawrence is experiencing a significant change in local and downtown business. Despite the economy and absence of students during winter break, not all of the companies plan to sell because of lack of income. One of the oldest buildings in Lawrence, which opened for buisness in the late 1880s, is among businesses for sale. Mike Elwell, Abe and Jakes owner, recently announced that he is looking for someone to take over the lease. We would really like to see someone come in and keep most things as they are, Ryan Lantz, general manager, said. We are

sT. PAuL, Minn. A sports bar owner in Minnesota is showing his support for the Green Bay Packers in this weekends game against the chicago Bears in a very literal way by roasting a bear. Blake Montpetit, the coowner of Tiffany sports Lounge in st. Paul, says he plans to cook a 180-pound black bear in a pigroaster over hickory and charcoal on sunday. He says his cousin shot it in northern Wisconsin during bear hunting season, which runs in september and October, and then froze it. Montpetit says he planned to serve the meat to customers, but the state health department rejected the plan because the meat is unprocessed. Instead, customers can take photos with the roasting bear. After the game, the meat will go his cousins party in somerset, Wis.

kANsAs cITY, Mo. Three teens accused of robbing motorists stuck in the snow have been caught after you guessed it they got stuck in the snow themselves. Prosecutors announced robbery and armed criminal action charges Friday against 18-year-old Darion O. Page of kansas city, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old. The kansas city star reported that police found the teens stuck in a snowdrift early Thursday morning. The victims credit cards were among the items found in their vehicle. court documents say the 17-year-old denied participating in the robberies and told police that all he did was drive. The documents say Page admitted being present, but he blamed the holdups on the 16-year-old. The star says that teen declined to make a statement.

there, Matney said. The wireless upgrade involved construction work to install access points and other associated equipment. In order to install the access points, additional work had to be done to the infrastructure and wiring. The construction work began on Dec. 20 and was originally slated to be completed before classes began on Jan. 21. The more intrusive stages of the construction were completed over break to prevent disruption. The additional access points that were installed in Anschutz will enable more devices such as laptops and smartphones to access the wireless network and will increase the number of users at any given time.
The funding for the wireless upgrade is somewhat complicated, said Karen Nicholas the communications coordinator for IT Services. The upgrade was funded in part through The Learning Studio, the renovated study space in Anschutz, and the remaining funding came through the Wireless Commons Project that is partially paid for through Student Senate. IT officials have not the new access points yet, but are scheduled to do so by the end of the week. I think users are going to notice right away when it is turned up, Matney said.

consumers for income. When student bars patrons and employees leave Lawrence, the establishment closes. The Cave is also very close to campus. Like the Wheel, The Cave closed after finals week and reopened last weekend, when students returned to Lawrence. Downtown bars such as Tonic, 728 Massachusetts, and Quintons, 615 Massachusetts, remained open during break with success. Quintons reported sales above average on weeknights during the holiday. A lot of its because other bars are closed and a lot of its that we have kind of an older crowd anyway, Quintons manager Greg Mann said. Mann said that Quintons experiences an influx of business from locals when classes are out of session. Its smaller size keeps it closer to capacity during breaks, says Mann. We only need 100 people to fill up, where some of the other bars will take 400-500 people,
Mann said. During the winter break, some establishments hosted special events. The Cave opened on New Years Eve and The Wheel operated for mens basketball home games. Farha said basketball games fill the bar with alumni and out-oftown fans instead of the typical college-age crowd. Edited by Sean Tokarz

Sometimes Miuccia Prada can be a tough riddle to unravel when it comes to inspiration, but this season's theme was as easy to see as the three-page show invitation printed on see-through plastic; the striated, stacked and meticulously sliced finger sandwiches served to arriving guests; and the doubledecker runway framed in wroughtiron fencing designed by architect Rem Koolhaas. We're talking layers here, people. Not the jacket-over-sweater-overshirt kind of layers although that was certainly part of it but layers of personality, mood and time.

The Jayhawk nation loves you T-Rob! Family over everything, always. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.
ver winter break, Old Navy began advertising their Goga pants, which the company asserts, give women an instant yoga butt, or as Urban Dictionary defines ,the ultimate external sign of a strong and powerful body. Consequentially, these commercials vexed my high school friend Kyle, a Tucker Max acolyte. Its not fair, he said. They have Wonderbras, Spanx and bug-eyed sunglasses. Now this? Women are such liars! Whether this anecdote affirms or offends, a lot of men, like Kyle, find these items confusing. I understand. They give the appearance of something that may or may not be there, like Jesus on that piece of toast. Ironically, a few days after Kyles rant, while at the mall, I overheard a retail salesman tell a shopper pea coats do wonders for the male physique.
While driving home, I considered this instead of paying attention to the oncoming traffic swerving to avoid me. I pictured the Unabomber wearing a pea coat. I did the same with Voldemort, Steve Buscemi and Frank The Bunny. They all looked like regal, venerable men-hallucinations. Then I thought of vampires, the best-dressed villains weve thought of yet, (which is weird because vampires cant look in mirrors), and it all made sense: Pea coats are the man-version of the Wonderbra they are our yoga pants. They are the mans
Wonderbra. They give the allusion of charm and character when the person wearing it may or may not actually possess charm and character. A pea coat represents a certain archaic, reparable soul of man. Some might argue that tuxedos have the same effect, but its impractical to wear a tuxedo every day unless youre Pee-wee Herman (and hes a pervert). Like tuxedos, Ive never met a woman whos disapproved of the pea coat. The pea coat shows that a certain amount of effort to look good was expended. Perhaps, just as much as the Goga pants. Though Ive never timed it, putting on a pea coat likely takes less time and effort than the overly advertised butttransforming Goga pants and does an equally good job of accomplishing the intended result. The pea coat is also timeless. Perhaps because of its Naval origins and the
only military-inspired fashion thats been stalwart throughout the years. Although I generally loathe clichs, I also cant help but buy into the idea that, subconsciously, everyone has respect for a soldier, or in this case, a civilian in uniform. The pea coat also puts men on a more level playing field. When a man wears a pea coat, it becomes difficult to discern his physique, unless its already overtly discernable. Like the Wonderbra or the yoga pants, which have a documented effect on males and bridges the gap between the haves and have-nots, the pea coat makes physique less of an issue. So, males, do your best for yourself and the American economy and buy a pea coat. God bless America, and gods bless the pea coat. Marsaglia is a senior in English from Naperville, Ill.

the dinner invitation, you should also plan on paying for yourself, but it certainly wouldnt be impolite for you not to pick up the whole check. Second, if youre going on a date with an older man whos not in college, then common sense says he should pick up the check. A working professional should not allow a college student to buythats tacky. And college gays, a good date will likely reject this, but its always a nice gesture to offer to pay for your own meal. Third, students should split the check. Lets say the dinner idea was a team effort, or the invitation was ambiguous and youre both poor college students. In this case, each person should go into the date expecting to pay for his own food. There is nothing wrong with not having enough money for two when youre in school and in pursuit of a goal. If the other person insists on paying for the meal, it would be polite, if you can, to offer to pick up the check next time, which, bee-tee-dubs, is also a good way to hint at wanting to go out with that person again.

ust months ago, WikiLeaks caused intense public criticism and worldwide skepticism toward the U.S. Now, its a source of comedy for our country. The organization virtually unheard of a year ago is now a household name and a staple in our pop culture: Saturday Night Live has a recurring sketch in which Bill Hader impersonates WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. NBCs 30 Rock often uses the verb weaking in reference to the organization. Theres even a martini called WikiLeaks White Elephant sold in bars across the country. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes light of the organization, too. In reference to her recent trip across Asia, in which she had to answer leaders concerns about WikiLeaks, Secretary Clinton joked, I want to get one of those really sharp-looking jackets that rock n roll groups have ... It could say The Apology Tour. Despite the absurdness of Assange,

WikiLeaks ought to be taken seriously by our leaders. Assange and his organization published thousands of classified documents submitted by anonymous sources, including thousands of United States diplomatic cables. The organizations website said that its goal is better transparency in order to create a less corrupt society and support democracy. While the organizations benefits and services can be debated its drawbacks for U.S. international relations are clear. Take our relationship with Argentina for example. WikiLeaks leaked a diplomatic cable in which Secretary Clinton doubted the mental health of Argentinian
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The Economist noted that in a separate leaked cables the former Argentinian President Nestor Kirchner and the current presidents ex-husband are referred to as a psychopath and a monster. Since the leaks, our ties with Argentina have been weak at best and have even given fuel to our regional nemesis Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has expressed his solidarity with Argentina. WikiLeaks impact on U.S.-Russian relations has been considerably more turbulent. According to Time, in a cable leaked in February of last year, a Spanish investigator claimed Russia has become a mafia state, and that former President Vladimir Putin himself has worked with criminals. Even worse, separate cables joke that current Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is virtually powerless, and he plays Robin to Putins Batman. The Obama Administration has worked diligently to conduct a reset
on U.S.-Russian relations when the WikiLeaks cables put our relations many steps backwards. To put things in perspective, our relations with other countries can be mended and WikiLeaks will inevitably end as it fights to defend its legality. However, the glaring incompetency in our governments ability to keep its secrets will take years, if not decades, to fix. Time reported that between 1996 and 2009 the amount of information the government has deemed secret rose by 75 percent. Is it possible that rather than bury secrets deeper as a result of WikiLeaks the government ought to designate less intelligence as secret?

Graduate students in the School of Business participate in a competition with Westar Energy. Participants had 48 hours to analyze the companys place in the electric vehicle market. the teams to consider what opportunities are available in the market and how the company can help promote electric vehicle adoption, Thomas said. The electric vehicle market is really a brand new opportunity for Westar, said Matt Lehrman, SmartStar program analyst for Westar. So we were really looking for as many ideas as possible and wanted to know what these students think the place is for Westar in the electric car business. For this competition, MBA students were given the opportunity to analyze a current issue and apply their skills in an intense work environment. What I enjoyed the most is the opportunity to address a concept that is going to really revolutionize the country and the world, Mooney said. The competition began on Jan. 19 and the teams presented to Westar executives on Jan. 21. Members of the winning team include Denton Zeeman, first year MBA student from Johannesburg, South Africa, Kai Thiele, first year MBA student from Germany, Trang Nguyen, first year MBA student from Vietnam, and Hatem Shoshaa, first year MBA student from Palestine. Zeeman said the judges told his team they won the competition because they had fully identified the problem and had the most thought-out presentation. One judge said that it was as if the team had been sitting in on Westars meetings and discussions about moving into the electric car market. We had less than 48 hours to conduct our analysis and develop a strategy, so this was quite a compliment, Zeeman said. The winning team won three of the six judging categories, including Best Industry Analysis by a team, Most Creative Ideas & Strategy by a team and Best Overall Analysis and Presentation by a team. Lerhman, a former School of Business MBA student himself, said although the judges decided on a winning team, Westar will use ideas from each presentation. The students really exceeded our expectations, he said. Edited by Amanda Sorell

he home-court winning streak is over. So is the undefeated season. In the words of coach Bill Self, the Jayhawks now face very little margin for error in the Big 12 Conference. Years from now, these may be some of the storylines many fans will remember from that emotionally draining Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. But dont forget Thomas Robinson. According to Self, Robinsons grandmother passed away at the end of December. His grandfather passed last Sunday. Then, he lost his mother Robinson late Friday night. He wasnt asked not to play. He wasnt asked to play, Self said. I talked to some people and the best thing to do for him was to let him choose what he wants to do. He said he wanted to be out there and I didnt fight it. Maybe it was the size of the stage with Texas in the house. Maybe running around with his teammates possibly helped clear his mind. Or maybe just playing basketball slightly regulated a time like this. No matter the reason, no matter his performance, the mere fact that Robinson stepped on the floor Saturday afternoon proved his dedication to his other family, those who don crimson and blue. For Robinson, Saturday with the Jayhawks wasnt just another game day. Other than his 9-year-old sister Jayla back home in Washington, D.C., it was all he had left. Weve always called ourselves brothers, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. But hes literally my brother now. I dont see no other way. I think thats going to last forever. After discovering the news of Robinsons mothers passing on

Game to remember
JCovan Brown Brown has played Kansas twice, and hes been lights out both times. After scorching the Jayhawks for 26 points in the second half of last years game in Austin, Brown offered an encore to the tune of 23 points on 6-of-10 shooting to lead the Longhorns to their first win in Allen Fieldhouse. Just like last year, most of it came after the break. His 17 points paced a 51-point second half for Texas.
Brown
Game to forget
Kansas big three The Morris twins and Josh Selby were all off Saturday afternoon, and with none of those three playing well, Kansas was ripe for upset. The three combined to hit just 10-of-33 shots, 1-of-10 from three-point range, and had six turnovers against four assists. The twins had 12 rebounds as the Jayhawks were outrebounded 42-33.

Prime plays
First halF
(score after play) 20:00 Before the game started, the Fieldhouse was rocking. The decibel meter read over 118 decibels. 16:36 Josh Selby throws down a dunk on the fast break with a little help from Markieff Morris clearing the way. (10-0) 16:16 Thomas Robinson checks in for the first time and the fans give him a nice ovation. (10-0) 9:11 Robinson collects an offensive board and then lays it in for his first basket of the game. He receives a nice reaction from the fans. (22-9) 1:02 Brady Morningstar gets in the passing lane and has an easy dunk at the other end. (35-23)
seCoNd halF
14:32 Just when Kansas needed a big shot, Tyrel Reed comes through again with a three pointer. (40-30) 8:48 Texas settled the crowd this half, but a tough runner in the lane by Tyshawn Taylor gets the fans in it again. (47-49) 2:00 Texas snaps Kansas home-court winning streak at 69 games. (63-74)
Key stats
Kansas hit just 6-of-19 (31.6 percent) from three-point range. The team is shooting 37 percent for the season. Kansas shot 44.1 percent in the first half and 26.7 percent in the second half.
Notes
The win is Texas first in Allen Fieldhouse (1-9). Texas is solely in first place in the Big 12 (4-0)

shooting that makes up the main event Sunday night. My recommendation to the NFL is to scrap the Pro Bowl. It is a waste of time and resources. The coaches dont want to be there because it means they arent in the Super Bowl and the players dont want to be added to the injury list. Instead, come out and name the Pro Bowlers at the end of the regular season and leave it at that. They will appreciate the distinction and the extra week off in the offseason Besides, no one will remember who won or what happened in the Pro Bowl once the next weekend rolls around anyway.

ing on the court. The Jayhawks roared out to an 18-3 lead, which Self attributed, in part at least, to the emotions of the previous 24 hours. In times like that, I think you see teams get off to an emotional good start, Self said. We played well, too, but certainly it was emotional, and I felt like we didnt have much gas in the tank in the second half. As Self said, emotions like those are draining, and they can only last so long. Kansas went flat after about 10 minutes of game time, but fended off Texas for the rest of the half. Then the Longhorns scored 51 points and completely controlled the second half and turned a 12-point halftime deficit into a 74-63 victory. It ended a Kansas-record home winning streak, a perfect record and gave the Longhorns a massive leg up in the conference title race. But while the game, in the scope of the season, was a setback, it was put into perspective, Self said, by the previous nights events. People go home sad today, Self said. All 16,000 people that were here and supported us great like they do every game, they go home sad and disappointed, and hes one of those guys. But he goes home and he doesnt have his mother anymore. And it certainly puts everything in perspective, because hes going to wake up three or four days from now and people will be doing their own things, and the world keeps going on, and thats a reality that hes going to live with for the rest of his life. The emotions of the losses, both personal and basketball, were visible in the Kansas players mannerisms in the post-game press conference: heads were bowed, shoulders were hunched, voices cracked and eyes were red. All of it the previous night, the first loss at Allen Fieldhouse in 69 games, the first loss of the season visibly weighed on them. Its just one game and we cant

Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson looks to the ground with disappointment after the 74-63 loss to Texas. With the loss the Jayhawks are now 18-1 for the season. let it become two, Tyrel Reed said. We know that Thomas is going through a lot of stuff right now. We all hurt and we all feel for him. Hes one of our brothers and were definitely going to be there for him, but weve got a game on Tuesday against a good Colorado team. We have to be ready to play. Whether or not Robinson will miss any time, including that game Tuesday against Colorado, is still unclear. Whatever he needs to do, he needs to do, Self said. But were his family.
