Well-known family dies
in Florida plane crash
A plane crash in Florida on
Thursday afternoon killed six
members of a prominent Kansas
family.
Ron and Becky Bramlage and
their four children, Brandon,
Boston, Beau and Roxanne, were
all on board a private plane
when it crashed, according to an
Associated Press report.
The Bramlage family is the
namesake of Bramlage Coliseum
at Kansas State, the universitys
basketball teams home court.
The arena is named after Rons
grandfather, Fred Bramlage. Ron
was a business owner in Junc-
tion City, Kan.
According to Polk County
Sheriff Grady Judd, the crash
took place in Tiger Creek
Preserve, Florida, a remote and
swampy area.
The familys flight was travel-
ing from Port St. Lucie to Junc-
tion City, Kan., according to the
website FlightAware.
They were an amazing fam-
ily, a Bramlage family member
told KMBC news. We are heart-
broken.
An investigation into the
cause of the plane crash is
under way.

University offers buyout
incentive to employees
The University accepted early
retirement applications from
106 employees seeking buyouts,
and rejected 43 applications, ac-
cording to The Associated Press.
In April, the University of-
fered an early retirement incen-
tive to roughly 655 employees
at the Lawrence and Edwards
campuses.
Employees approved for the
program receive a one-time
payment for a years worth of
salary. The maximum payment is
$100,000.
Gavin Young, provost com-
munications coordinator and
spokesman, said the program
is for employees who plan to
retire by the end of the year.
At the earliest, employees can
retire July 24, and at the latest,
December 31.
Employees have until July 15
to accept their offer and sign
the agreement.
Young said the determining
factor in which applications are
accepted or rejected is based on
the long-term best interests of
the University.

Law school program aims
to prepare future students
High school students from across
Kansas found out what its like to be
in law school and what it takes to
have a career in the legal profession.
Last week during the third annual
Journey to J.D.camp, School of Law
faculty and current students worked
to encourage diverse students to
attend college, law school and work
in the legal feld.
The camp was created by the
School of Laws alumni Diversity
Council to diversify legal education
and the workforce, and it was funded
through donations by alumni and
corporate sponsors. Programs
like Journey to J.D.are known as
pipelineprograms and are used by
numerous law schools and frms to
address the lack of diversity in the
legal feld.
Studies show that a fewer black
collection of students graduate from
high school and college, and theyre
defnitely underrepresented in the
legal profession,said Karen Hester,
Director of Student Afairs and
Diversity at the School of Law. Our
thought is that if we can reach them
now we can show them what steps
they need to take, and we can hope-
fully make a long term impact on
the legal profession and the diversity
within.

LOS ANGELES Elvis is coming
back from the dead, thanks to some
digital wizardry.
Digital Domain Media Group
Inc., the Academy Award-winning
studio that created visual efects for
the Transformers flms and Tron:
Legacy, has signed an agreement with
Core Media Group to jointly develop
and produce a series of virtual Elvis
Presley likenesses for a range of enter-
tainment projects, including appear-
ances in shows and flm and TV pro-
ductions.
With studios in Los Angeles; Lon-
don; Vancouver, Canada; and other
cities, Digital Domain created the
computer-generated likeness of the late
rap artist Tupac Shakur for Dr. Dres re-
cent show at the Coachella Valley Mu-
sic and Arts Festival.
Elvis is the most iconic, most rec-
ognized performer on the planet, and
we are thrilled to have been chosen to
bring new performances and original
shows where fans can have their own,
new experiences of Elvis, said Digital
Domain Chief Executive John Textor.
Minaj nixes concert
after host comments
LOS ANGELES Nicki Minaj
was set to headline Hot 97s Sum-
mer Jam festival in East Ruther-
ford, N.J., on Sunday but pulled
out shortly before her set.
Minaj nixed her performance
at the festival, one of only a few
annual hip-hop events of its size,
following disparaging remarks
from Hot 97 personality Peter
Rosenberg, who also hosts MTVs
Hip-Hop Squares.
Rosenberg, obviously not a fan
of Minajs club-friendly, RedOne-
produced jingle, Starships, told
the crowd that the radio station
was all about that real hip-hop.
I know there are some chicks
in here waiting to sing along with
Starships later, he chided. Im
not talking to yall right now. He
then quickly dismissed the song
with some rather unprintable
language.
That didnt sit well with Minaj
nor with her label head, Lil
Wayne, who pulled the plug on all
his Young Money artists who were
at Summer Jam.
Minaj confrmed the snub on
her Twitter feed, telling the station
staf they messed up history (she
just wasnt as nice about it). The
President has spoken, she wrote. I
go above and beyond for my fans.
But wont ever go against Waynes
word. What he says, goes.
McClatchy Tribune
PITTSBURGH Te Miss USA
pageant representative from Penn-
sylvania resigned her crown claiming
the contest is rigged, but according to
organizers the beauty queen was upset
over the decision to allow transgender
contestants to enter.
A posting on Miss Pennsylva-
nia Sheena Monnins Facebook page
claims another contestant learned the
names of the top 5 fnishers on Sunday
morning hours before the show was
broadcast.
Monnin claims the other contestant
told her the names of the top 5 she
spotted on a planning sheet for the tele-
cast and she decided to step down
as soon as those same contestants were
named during the show.
In my heart I believe in honesty, fair
play, a fair opportunity, and high moral
integrity, none of which in my opinion
are part of this pageant system any lon-
ger, Monnin wrote in one of her Face-
book posts.
Monnin, of Cranberry, Butler Coun-
ty, did not immediately respond to a
Facebook message from Te Associ-
ated Press.
Donald Trump, who runs the Miss
Universe Organization, called Mon-
nins claims that the pageant was fxed
totally ridiculous in a live interview
Wednesday on ABCs Good Morning
America.
Were going to be suing her now,
Trump said. She made a very false
charge and she knows its a false
charge.
Pageant organizers confrmed Mon-
nin resigned, but said it wasnt for the
reason she claimed.
According to a statement from the
Miss Universe Organization, the con-
testant who Monnin claimed saw the
sheet vehemently refuted Monnins
account. Te statement includes text
from an email from Monnin that cites
the decision to allow transgender con-
testants into the competition as the rea-
son shes resigning.
Miss Rhode Island, the pageants
winner, Olivia Culpo, said Monnins
original resignation was based on
her stance on the pageants policy on
transgender contestants and called it
strange that Monnin is now saying
something else.
Anti-semitic Wagners
music denied in Israel
LOS ANGELES A planned
performance of the music of Richard
Wagner in Israel has been abruptly
canceled following an apparent dis-
agreement between the presenter
and Tel Aviv University, which was
supposed to host the event.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz
reports the ofcials at the university
pulled the plug on the performance,
contending the Israel Wagner Society
concealed the fact it would have
featured the music of Wagner, who
held anti-semitic views.

Crow discovers tumor
LOS ANGELES Sheryl Crow
says she has a brain tumor one
that was found after she became
concerned about her increasingly
spotty memory.
Crows benign meningioma
showed up during a screening the
breast cancer survivor had done in
November on a hunch.
I worried about my memory so
much that I went and got an MRI.
And I found out I have a brain tumor,
Crow recently told the Las Vegas
Review-Journal. And I was, like, See?
I knew there was something wrong.
Though frequently referred to as
brain tumors,meningiomas actually
form in the lining around the brain
and spinal cord. Usually benign, they
can press against the brain or spinal
cord if they grow.
I dont have to worry about it,
Crow said, even though the situation
gives her a ft perhaps due to the
aforementioned memory loss. She
admitted shed blanked on the lyrics
to her hit Soak Up the Sunduring a
recent performance in Florida.
Not only could I not remember
the frst line, I couldnt remember the
frst line to any of the verses,she told

H
ave you ever been to
a baseball game and
remember just how much
of the game you paid close atten-
tion to? Its probably not very
much.
I recently went to a Kansas City
Royals game one that the team
predictably lost with my father.
We have a tradition where we
both keep a scorecard throughout
the game. It adds to the ongoing
conversation about the game and
fuels continued debates. It keeps
us both involved in the game and
aids in building a bond through
the sport. His dad taught him all
the intricacies of keeping score
and he taught me; I hope to pass
that along to my children some-
day.
However, Ive noticed that fewer
and fewer people actually take the
time to learn how to keep score at
a baseball game. The lack of score-
keeping is a lost opportunity for
family bonding during a sporting
event that lends itself to conver-
sation. The declining interest in
baseball is the product of several
problems.
It is hard to say baseball is
Americas pastime while keeping
a straight face. Its not nearly as
popular as football, and the brains
behind the operations havent
helped themselves.
Following the labor strike, baseball
was buoyed by the home run race
between Sammy Sosa and Mark
McGwire in 1998. But that was all
thrown away once the use rampant
use of steroids in baseball came
to light.
Since then, baseball has fallen into
a definite rut, and the powers-
that-be have come up with poor
measures to remedy that.
Despite the excitement in the
Kansas City area due to the
upcoming All-Star Game, the
idea that an All-Star game should
determine home field advantage in
the World Series is just a bad idea.
If people got back to the grass
roots and did something simple
like keep score at a game, it would
enhance their appreciation of
baseball. It drives spectators to pay
closer attention to the game.
Technology has made keeping
score almost archaic, a fact thats
obvious when looking for a score-
card at Kauffman Stadium; you
cant find them anywhere. People
need to put down the iPhones and
pick up a scorecard, a pencil and
enjoy the atmosphere and great
baseball even if some of the great
is lacking in Kansas City.

summer, Surface said. Twitter is
the best way to stay informed on
events, parties, and special offers.
Surface said Tonic has main-
tained good business throughout
the two years it has been open,
which includes summertime.
While Tonic uses various pro-
motions in order to draw in stu-
dents, Quintons Bar and Deli, 615
Massachusetts St., maintains a
lot of the same specials they have
throughout the school year.
Quintons employee James
Stephenson says they do see a drop
off in business during the summer,
but Tuesday and Thursday nights
maintain popularity all year.
Stephenson said on Tuesday
nights they offer $2.50 draws, but
sometimes change specials in order
to draw a bigger crowd.
Once in awhile, we will have
specials like $2 anything, which we
use to get a different crowd to come
in. Those nights are pretty popu-
lar, and it is something we will do
randomly throughout the summer,
Stephenson said.
On Thursday nights, Quintons
offers wine night. For $12, the
bar offers five different four-ounce
samples, along with a full glass of
your favorite wine.
Quintons doesnt change its pric-
es during the summer, but its open
every day, and they offer various
drink specials for each day.
Richard Arnett, a senior from
Shawnee, said he enjoys the bar
atmosphere in the summer because
there are fewer students around.
It is definitely a lot more laid
back, and it is easier to get drinks at
the bar during the summer, Arnett
said. The bar scene is almost bet-
ter, just because it isnt as crowded.
You can move around easier.

Lawrence LARPers create own world
LocaL
HeaLtH
Youre enjoying an evening hike in
the woods. Te sun is setting and the
air is cool. You hear a sof rumble,
but you shrug it of as thunder, a dis-
tant storm. Hiking further, the rum-
ble becomes louder, like its headed
directly towards you. Ten the rum-
ble becomes more like a roar. You
hear voices, shouting, even snarling.
Ten, a group of nine or 10 people
emerges, running and shouting. You
duck behind a nearby tree. Te light
is low, but you can see capes, shields,
and swords.
Yes, swords.
No, this isnt a hallucination.
Youve just witnessed a LARP
gathering and the running, shouting,
shields and swords are all part of this
intricate game that takes imagina-
tion to a whole new level.
LARP is an acronym for Live Ac-
tion Role Play. Its a style of interac-
tive gaming that can trace its origins
to the late 1970s. Fans of tabletop
role-playing games and fantasy flms
such as Logans Run wanted to take
their appreciation of those imaginary
worlds and recreate them in real life.
I like to describe it as King Arthur
in the woods with a plastic sword,
said Joe Bearden, KU graduate and
chapter director of Heroic Central,
a LARP organization located in the
Kansas City and Lawrence areas.
Its popularity has grown since the
70s, especially within the last decade
and the release of Te Lord of the
Rings flm trilogy.
Te oldest recorded LARP group
is the United States-based organiza-
tion, Dagorhir, founded in 1977. Its
name originates from J.R.R Tolkiens
Sindarin Elven language and trans-
lates as Battle Lords. According to
its ofcial website, To experience
Dagorhir is to grasp at the unobtain-
able.
Some LARPs are historical, some
are fantastical, and some are set in
dystopian worlds of the future con-
trolled by androids. Tere is clearly
an appeal to every nook and cranny
of the human imagination.
For Bearden, its become a full-time
job and passion. He began LARPing
in 1992 and is currently working on
developing a LARP camp at a site
near LaCygne, Kan. He founded a
local chapter of Heroic, a national
LARP organization, in 2009.
Bearden says participants are
mostly college age, but they can
range anywhere from as young as 4
to working adults. He says its appeal
can be diferent for everyone.
For some people, its just as simple
as liking to fght, he said. For other
people, its about creating a charac-
ter and seeing the character develop
over time.
For participant Larisa Hines,
LARP is a creative outlet and tempo-
rary escape from reality.
LARPing is my little Las Vegas,
said Hines. What happens in game,
stays in game.
Hines has been involved with lo-
cal LARP organizations for 8 years.
She maintains two full-time jobs that
sometimes confict with weekend-
long LARP events.
I just tell people that Im going
camping with some friends if I dont
think theyd understand, Hines
said.
Both Bearden and Hines are pas-
sionate about the characters, the
land, and the game. For those who
dont know about it, LARP may
sound strange. For them, it adds
excitement and imagination, which
real life lacks, and Hines is commit-
ted to it.
Im a LARPer for life.

Allergies are bad this summer, caus-
ing runny noses, sore throats, itchy
eyes, and other symptoms that can
make summertime difcult to enjoy
for people with allergies.
Ron Weiner, an asthma, allergy, and
immunology specialist at the Law-
rence Asthma Allergy Associates, 346
Maine St., said allergies are worse than
usual this year.
We had such a mild winter that al-
lergies tended to be earlier and more
intense than in the usual spring,
Weiner said. He says grass and pollen
are the two common summer allergies
and tend to peak in May and June.
Amanda Kong, a recent graduate
from Lawrence, said her grass allergy
is worse during the spring and sum-
mer.
Grass doesnt cause my eyes to itch
or anything, but I cant sit in it or else I
will break out in hives in about a min-
ute, she said. Ive just learned to avoid
it because its so itchy.
If Kong does touch grass, she said
she takes medication to treat her al-
lergy. I have to take an antihistamine
or use a topical cream to get the hives
to go down, Kong said.
Weiner said eye drops and nasal
spray are available for people whose
nose and eyes are afected by allergies,
and cortisone nasal spray is helpful
because it decreases mucus, swelling,
infammation, and sensitivity to the
nose.
Nasal decongestants can be addic-
tive or harmful, and can cause rebound
nasal congestion, so Weiner said he
doesnt recommend them. Tey have
more side efects than any useful pur-
pose, Weiner said.
Weiner said people can get an al-
lergy skin test done, instead of just tak-
ing medicine. Te test can tell some-
one what they are allergic to whether
its certain trees, grass, weeds, dust,
mold, or pests, he said. Te test is an
inexpensive and non-traumatic way to
identify someones allergies. Asthma
Allergy Associates is the only place
in Lawrence that does the allergy skin
test.
Te time of day and diferent weath-
er conditions can intensify allergies.
Warren Frick, an allergist at the Law-
rence Asthma Allergy Associates, said
humidity creates mold, which starts
growing in the spring and peaks in the
fall. Frick also said climate change is
causing pollen season to come earlier,
stronger, and last longer than usual.
Pollen is highest in the early morn-
ing and on windy days, Frick said.
Keep your windows and doors closed
even if the weather is nice.

Summers top 10 movies sure to thrill
Superheroes, aliens and talking
teddy bears are coming to Law-
rence. To check out the action, just
visit the nearest movie theater, and
buy a ticket for one of the top 10
movies to see this summer.
The Avengers: If youre a fan of
comic books or just enjoyed watch-
ing heroes like Iron Man, Thor and
Captain America save the world
from destruction over the last few
years, then this action extravaganza
is for you. A team of super heroes
get together to save Earth from the
villainous Loki and struggles to
overcome big egos. Now playing.
The Dictator: Sacha Baron
Cohens latest controversial film
includes jokes that range from ste-
reotypical to political. Cohen plays
the dictator of a fictional Middle
Eastern country who lovingly op-
presses his people and goes to great
lengths to protect the country from
democracy. The movie was hi-
larious, I enjoyed it, said Shamroz
Khan, a 2012 graduate from Hel-
mand, Afghanistan. Some scenes
were vulgar, but at a whole I was
pretty much happy I saw it. Now
playing.
Men in Black III: The first two
films became blockbusters with
their mix of sci-fi and comedy. A
decade after the last film was re-
leased, the men in black are back.
Agent J, played by Will Smith, must
travel back in time to prevent an
alien assassinating Agent K, played
by Tommy Lee Jones. Now playing.
Prometheus: This highly an-
ticipated movie has ties to 1979s
beloved Alien, and both were
directed by Ridley Scott. It is not
just filled with action and sci-fi,
it is this summers thriller as well.
The film follows a team of explor-
ers who discover the origins of
mankind only to find them in a
horrific battle to save their lives
and the human race. Aliens itself
was definitely a good movie, said
Jejo Mathew, a 2012 graduate from
Overland Park. The fact that Rid-
ley Scott is back on for Prometheus
speaks volumes about the potential
value this movie is going to have.
And come on, a prequel to Aliens?
Count me in! Now playing.
Snow White and the Hunts-
man: Snow White might make
viewers think back to the Disney
cartoon, but there is a twist to this
fairytale. The live action film shows
the huntsmans story in greater
depth. Fans of the cartoon know
the huntsman does not harm Snow
White, but the director explores
what happens next. Now playing.
Brave: There is an inner child
in all of us who peeks out every
so often to enjoy another Dis-
ney creation. There is nothing to
be ashamed of if you love Disney
movies, so keep your eyes peeled
for Brave, which is about a prin-
cess who is determined to change
her fate by whatever means. This
adventure will redefine bravery. In
theaters June 22.
Ted: Ever wish that your stuffed
animal were alive? Well in this
raunchy comedy, a boy wishes for
his teddy bear to come alive and
has to deal with the consequences
as an adult. The man and teddy
bear create a strong friendship over
the years, but after growing up, the
two are left with the dilemma of
whether to move on for love or stay
true to their friendship. Im super
excited for Ted, said Aparna Ku-
mar, a 2012 graduate from Lenexa.
Ted is going to be ridiculously hi-
larious! In theaters June 29.
The Amazing Spider-Man:
Its only been a few years since the
last Spider-Man franchise ended,
but this reboot of the iconic su-
perhero returns to Peter Parkers
roots. In the action-packed film,
Peter explores the many secrets of
his parents disappearance, and his
attempts to trace his parents lead
to life altering experiences. In the-
aters July 3.
The Dark Knight Rises: La-
dies and Gents, Batman has re-
turned! This time he has to protect
Gotham from a new villain. But in
order for him to protect the city,
he must deal with being branded
as an enemy after the events at the
end of The Dark Knight. The film
also features a new take on one of
the franchises most popular char-
acters, Catwoman, played by Anne
Hathaway. In theaters July 20.
Lawless: Looking for a dramat-
ic, crime-packed movie? Look no
further! The film is based on a true
story about bootleggers during the
Great Depression. In the midst of
their success, the authorities are af-
ter them, not to bring them down,
but to get a share of their profit. In
theaters August 29.

Class gifs allow graduating class-
es to literally leave their mark on the
University.
From the bronze Jayhawk statue
in front of Strong Hall to an array
of scholarships and war bonds, the
gifs have come in a variety of shapes
and sizes, and they are a University
tradition that dates back to 1873, ac-
cording to KU Endowment.
A large mosaic of the 1912 Jay-
hawk was exactly what the Class of
2012 wanted to give the University
before parting ways.
Senior class ofcers began talk-
ing to Marion Waller Paulette, the
Universitys Design and Construc-
tion Management project manager,
in mid-fall.
From there, they knew they want-
ed a 1912 Jayhawk mosaic because
its the hundredth year since its cre-
ation.
At frst, they wanted it to be fea-
tured on a walkway somewhere,
but Paulette said they eventually
decided on a wall feature because
of the fragility of mosaics. Te mo-
saic, they decided, should be located
somewhere with high trafc.
Tough they looked at various
places like the Union and buildings
on campus that were constructed
around 1912, the ultimate decision
was Wescoe Hall.
Afer they determined where and
what they wanted, the committee
contacted Tina Murano, a mosaic
artist from Wichita.
Murano said it was an honor
when she was approached to cre-
ate the piece in early January of this
year. Murano also said it made great
sense to accept the project, espe-
cially since her daughter Emma is
currently a sophomore at the Uni-
versity.
Murano began sketching and col-
laborating designs with the commit-
tee in January. She had the concept
to work with, but still had intricate
details to work out.
With it being the 1912 Jayhawk,
Murano said, I played around with
size and framing the curve of the
frame, mosaic work, and the image
of the jayhawk... how to lay the tile
for the curves of the feathers and
bird legs to look like little bird legs,
and the variety of colors.
Murano said she worked mostly
in-studio all the way up until its in-
stallation before graduation in early
May.
Afer nearly half a year planning,
fundraising, and creating, the Class
of 2012 has lef their colorful mark
in the entryway of the Underground
in Wescoe Hall with the help of
some Kansas talent.

Stay hydrated ScholarShip
Water is the way to stay cool
VICtORIA PItChER
vpitcher@kansan.com
Whether drinking it or playing in
it, water is the secret to staying cool
this summer. With temperatures
expected to reach into the 100s, ac-
cording to Matt Elwell, a Channel
6 News meteorologist, students are
getting creative with ways to keep
cool.
My philosophy is go anywhere
near water, said Larry Flanagan, a
junior from Raymore, Mo.
Flanagan enjoys going to the pool
or the lake during the summer, and
his favorite refreshment is summer
brew, a mixture of beer, vodka and
lemonade.
Jenna Fornari, a junior from
Cleveland, Ohio, also likes to be
near water during the summer. Last
year, Fornari spent a day at Oceans
of Fun, a waterpark in Kansas City,
Mo. Fornari also likes to hang out
with friends at the pool and drink
strawberry daiquiris to cool of.
But the summer heat can be dan-
gerous if proper precautions are not
taken; someone can become dehy-
drated, or have heat strokes from
being in the sun too long.
Roxie Dohogne, a registered nurse
at Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said students should try to avoid be-
ing outside from around 10 a.m. to 4
p.m., when the sun is the hottest. If
exposure cant be avoided, Dohogne
said to take breaks in a shady area
and wear protective clothing.
Elwell said to pay attention to hu-
midity. Te higher the humidity in
the air, the less efciently the human
body can produce sweat, which is
the natural way it cools of.
Staying hydrated is important Do-
hogne said. Drinking clear liquids
such as water helps keep the body
from dehydrating, which is the most
common side efect from prolonged
sun exposure. Dohogne said to stay
away from cafeinated beverages,
because they dehydrate the body.
Common side efects of dehydra-
tion are headache and fatigue, and if
the body has stopped sweating, Do-
hogne said students should see their
physician.

Late Topeka couple
donates scholarship
A new scholarship is available
to students studying abroad
in Germany, thanks to a $1.7
million gift from the estate of
two late Topeka psychiatrists,
Dean T. and Elisabeth Collins.
The scholarship will provide sup-
port for students to study at an
institution of higher education in
Germany.
According to a news release,
the Collinses loved the arts and
donated signifcantly to the KU
School of Music. The scholarship
will focus on KU students study-
ing music, particularly opera, but
it is open to other majors as well.

From athletes who have cho-
sen to take time away from the
University, to athletes still living
in Jayhawker Towers and taking
courses, Howard Graham, Learn-
ing Services Coordinator for KU
Athletics, said that a lot is still
expected from the student athletes
during the off-season, wherever
they are.
Whether an athlete is here,
home, working or traveling, their
teams expect them to maintain
their education obligations and
stay in shape.
Michael Reynolds, a sophomore
from Wichita who is an outside
linebacker for the football team,
says that he and his teammates
take advantage of the summer se-
mester to stay in shape, keep ahead
in classes and create deeper bonds
with one another.
We have summer conditioning
and summer courses right now,
Reynolds said. Its not actually a
requirement, but most of everyone
[on the football team] is here to get
ready for the fall. Mostly were just
spending time with the new guys,
getting to know them and bringing
them in and making sure they feel
comfortable.
Associate Director of Athletics
Jim Marchiony says that it is im-
perative for teammates to spend
time with each other, especially
over summer when everyone has
more time to do so. Marchiony
says this is the key to the success
of any of the Universitys teams.
Summer is a great time for ath-
letes to acclimate themselves to
college life in a much less stress-
ful atmosphere and its also a
time for team members to bond,
socially, academically and athleti-
cally, Marchiony said. National
championships are won in the off-
season; part of the summer expe-
rience is the bonding experience
with each other.

here is no denying the
charisma of Kansas
baseball coach Ritch
Price. A native of California, Price
is as low-key as any true Midwest-
erner and as approachable as Bill
Self. Athletic directors drool over
the persona he embodies.
There is also no denying what
Price has accomplished since
taking over KU baseball in 2003:
seven 30-win seasons, more than
300 wins, 38 players drafted and
the Jayhawks first conference title
since 1949 in 2006.
But recently, Kansas has strug-
gled to be anything but the Big
12s doormat, and the Skipper has
yet to right the ship.
The Jayhawks finished below
.500 the last two seasons. They
knocked off number two seed,
Texas A&M, in the Big 12 Cham-
pionship last week before get-
ting ousted by Missouri in
a tournament that they almost
didnt qualify for.
When youve got 13 fresh-
men on your roster in this league,
youve got a tough task ahead of
you, Price said after Kansas sea-
son ending loss to Missouri. I
knew it was going to be a long sea-
son with growing pains.
Even though Price is a top re-
cruiter, (move before Even though,
as a sentence) the same justifica-
tion for losing year after year just
isnt enough.
Weve got to get older and
more experienced in order to fin-
ish games, Price said after failing
to make the Big 12 tournament
last season. It just goes back to
the fact that we need to continue
to develop our guys.
It echoes what he said about his
youngsters at the conclusion of the
2010 season when the Jayhawks
finished in 6th.
They have had their ups and
downs like a lot of freshmen do
during the course of the season.
They are a big part of our future.
The 2010 Jayhawks had seven
players get drafted. As for the
freshmen that Price excitedly al-
luded to in his postseason remarks
pitchers Tanner Poppe and
Thomas Taylor Poppe ended
up in the bullpen as an unreliable
closer, while Taylor has consis-
tently kept his ERA around 4.50.
In a sport that goes hand-in-
hand with numbers, here are a few
to ponder: two, one and zero.
In the Rich Price era, the team
has two NCAA tournament ap-
pearances, one Big 12 tournament
championship, zero finishes high-
er than 5th in the conference.
Perhaps consistently raising
banners in the building next door
to Hoglund Ballpark casts an infe-
riority complex over Kansas base-
ball. There is no denying that in
the shadows of Allen Fieldhouse
lurks a second-rate baseball team,
but at least theyre young.

Heat beat Celtics
in 7, go to fnals

ASSOCIAteD PReSS
MIAMI LeBron James had 31
points and 12 rebounds, Chris Bosh
hit a career-best three 3-pointers
the last sparking the run that put
it away and the Heat won their
second straight Eastern Conference
title by beating the Boston Celt-
ics 101-88 in Game 7 on Saturday
night.
Next up, the NBA finals and
James' third try at that elusive first
championship. A year after watch-
ing someone else celebrate on their
home floor, the Miami Heat were
the ones dancing at midcourt.
Miami opens the title series
against the Thunder in Oklahoma
City on Tuesday night. The Heat got
there by outscoring Boston 28-15
in the fourth quarter, with the "Big
Three" of Dwyane Wade, Bosh and
James scoring every Miami point.
"We decided to come together
and play together for a reason,"
Wade said.
Rajon Rondo finished with 22
points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds
for Boston, which got 19 points
from Paul Pierce in what might be
the last game of the "Big Four" era
for the Celtics.
Down by seven at the half and
eight early in the third quarter,
Miami started clawing back. An
8-0 run tied it at 59-all, capped by
Wade hitting a jumper.
There were six lead changes and
five more ties in the final 7 min-
utes of the third. Bosh scored with
29 seconds left for the last of those
ties, and it was 73-all going into the
fourth.
But then Bosh hit his third
3-pointer with 7:17 left. James
made a runner on the next Miami
trip, and suddenly the Heat had
their biggest lead of the night to
that point, 88-82 with 6:54 remain-
ing,
They were on their way.
"He was big time every shot,
every defensive play, every rebound
we missed him," James said of
Bosh. "We're just happy to have him
back at the right time. If it wasn't
for him and the rest of the guys
that stepped up, we don't win this
game."
"We had nothing left," Rivers
said. "That's how it felt, as a coach.
... But overall, I don't know if I've
ever had a group like this."
"Give them credit," Rondo said.
"They spread the points out as a
team tonight."
"That's what we talk about," said
James, who lost Game 7 appear-
ances with Cleveland in 2006 and
2008. "It has to be a collective group
to win the championship. Every-
body was in tune today. We wanted
to give our fans a big win. We look
forward to the next challenge."
