Guevara might not have the strength to see this through but he's proven that Santa Cruz can be out boxed. Close one. 11th round.
Nice victory for Santa Cruz and not badly done by Guevara either. Guevara just didn't have the strength. Even without the strength, if Guevara's skill was a bit higher then he might've been able to pull it off. This post has been edited by Cheesey1: Dec 15 2012, 05:48 PM |

Geek Pop: 'X-Files,' 'Rogue,' and 'Mario Kart' Video
Geek Pop: 'X-Files,' 'Rogue,' and 'Mario Kart' Video Transcript
^M00:00:01 [ Music ] ^M00:00:11
>> Welcome to Geek Pop. I'm Molly Wood.
>> And I'm Tom Merritt.
>> We're here to tell you what's available for your geeky entertainment pleasure this week and be on.
>> Well you're in to zombies, space battles, I don't know, maybe the occasional kung-fu elf or something. You've come to the right place. Start with movies?
>> Yes.
>> If you didn't know and I actually didn't until recently, another X-Files movie's in the works. The production and shooting have been insanely secretive but we have learned the movie's title--X-Files I want to believe.
>> And we have a few details about the plot. From what we know it sound like a bunch of women in Virginia disappear and only Molder and Scully can solve the mystery of course.
>> Of course.
>> The movie will star the original molder, Ann Scully, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as well as Amanda Peete and rapper Xzibit. I sincerely hope that Xzibit will be pimping some X-Files rides.
>> Meanwhile B movie fans know that American travel riders wandering around the Australian Outback are bound to run into life threatening situations possible involving enormous man-eating crocodiles. It's just the way things work. It's also the plot of Rogue in theaters this weekend. ^M00:01:16 [ Sound effects ] ^M00:01:20
>> But you don't have to go into a theater to catch a good movie this weekend. Google Me premieres on You Tube Friday, April 25th, Jim Killeen made a movie about how searching on his own name led him to hunt down all the other Jim Killeen's out there and put together a little Jim Killeen meet-up. In fact our own Kara Tsuboi from News.com did a little interview with Jim Killeen. Check it out.
>> I think the message is clear, is that we're all connected in the world and there is a brotherhood of man.
>> So who knew that you could find all those people? I'm gonna have to find all the Tom Merritt's; there's a lot of them though.
>> I really don't want to do that because there is another Molly Wood that I know of for sure and she's in the pornos.
>> Yeah the other Tom Merritts are a Kung-Fu Master, listen to Buzz Outloud in Texas and the dead guy from Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology.
>> A Kung-Fu Master you liar.
>> Well yeah.
>> Now for that, let's move on to TV. Lost returned this week for its stretch run to the end of Season 4. We must not reveal spoilers but you can get up on all past episodes at abc.com where all 4 seasons are available streaming in HD. And then head over to Lost Pedia at lostpedia.com for every niggling fact about every scene as well as some good theories.
>> And good-bad news, Terminator spin-off The Sarah Conner Chronicles has been renewed. Sounds like it will return to Fox around mid-season 2009 right about the same time as 24.
>> Also this week a TV mystery. See by all outward signs, a new show is starting this week called Scarlet; it's the brainchild of David Nunnery who's an Emmy award winning director of every show you like including Smallville, Supernatural, the pilot of the Sarah Conner Chronicles, X-Files, anyway. Scarlet seems to involve a super hot TV actress model person with a secret and a glowy red eye. The trailer is kind of like a cross between Alias and Bionic Woman.
>> Now supposedly the show premieres April 30th but where? It's not listed on any TV Guides and there is no industry news about a new show so what's the deal? Is it a web only show? I don't know but I am, in fact, intrigued.
>> I also am intrigued.
>> You know if you weren't going to show it anywhere else and you had a website you were going to put a video on, you'd just say coming April 30th and assume that people meant there so maybe it's just coming to the web.
>> I guess it would I don't know.
>> Like the web, only a high quality video show would be awesome.
>> I know that's what I'm thinking because it doesn't look all the way to TV quality even though it's really high quality. We shall see.
>> Next up, DVD's. Just one this week, Cloverfield hit the shelves April 22nd. In case you have some short-term memory loss that's the J.J. Abram's movie shot home movie style about a big monster attacking New York.
>> And finally, a little game news. [ Audience clapping ]
>> Mario Karper [phonetic] Wii is out on Sunday. This one has been sitting on my pre-order list for weeks now and I am not alone. Game Swat even has a little counter on their launch center and why wouldn't they. Mario Kart was awesome before, but now it's got support for 12-player online races and it comes with a free Wii wheel. I could die right now.
>> Don't die. The Wii offer [phonetic].
>> Thanks for watching the show. We have a new e-mail address if you want to send us some suggestions, comments or questions, email@example.com. Thanks for watching.
>> See you next time. ^M00:04:31 [ Music ] ^M00:04:37

Best way to copy new internal drives
I know there are post on how to copy drives but my situation is unique, I've never done this before and I want to make sure I do it the right way.
My wife has a white (7,1) macbook and I have a 2011 air. I bought her 8gbs of ram and a 128gb owc ssd. I got myself a 180 gb owc ssd for extra storage. I want to copy the hard drives currently in the computer to the new ones. Should I put the new drives in the enclosures and allow them to copy before installing them? Or should I install them and boot from the enclosure? What is the best software to use? I've heard a lot about carbon copy but was curious if the license would work on both macs or if I'd have to buy 2 license. Or if disk utility is sufficient for this task? |

Get the SSDs and put them in an enclosure for 2.5" SSDs and the adapter you probably get with the OWC kit.
Format the new SSDs properly: How to format a new HDD to install Mac OS X onto (or make a bootable copy onto)Then download and install CarbonCopyCloner (version 3.4.7 is still free and available for download and works with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion) and select the internal HDD/SSD as source and the external SSD as target. Then press clone and wait. Once the cloning process is complete, switch the drives and upon starting your Mac and once booted into Mac OS X, make sure that in System Preferences > Startup Disk*, the correct SSD is set.

Only when it became version 3.5 and had to be paid for some months ago, 3.4.7 suddenly became that old. It works. And even if not, you can always use the trial of 3.5 they offer. Or SuperDuper!.

"The link says that version 3.4.7 doesn't support mountain lion. Ill try it since its free though."
Even the latest, "pay for" version runs "free" for the first 30 days. For "duping" one drive to another, I recommend a USB/SATA "docking station". Here are a couple to check (I use the first one): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00APP6694?...SIN=B00APP6694 or http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Docki...SIN=B003UI62AG |

Tell it yes you want a Recovery HD on the drive. This will create a recovery partition on the new drive should you ever need it.

Ugh. This looked so pretty when I first put it on - made my face kind of glowy. Then I noticed every flaw in my skin was showing up by the end of the day. Not exactly the look I was going for. If you have very a very smooth, even complexion, this may work for you.

I use a foundation stick and love to set with this finishing powder the translucent 401. The brush actually is pretty soft! Less is more with this product. I mainly use on t zone and set under eye foundation. Love it and would recommend if you use a cream foundation.

I am very disappointed with this product. It looks so thick on my skin and it does not cover my skin smoothly. The brush which comes with it is totally useless. It is pointless to have a brush on top of the product if it is impossible to use it while it's on the powder. The brush is also very hard, it literally hurts my skin. I won't buy it again.

I have this in translucent 401. It's not translucent enough -- it makes me look pasty.
- fragrance free
- chalky, pasty finish
- don't like the packaging; I just use my own brush vs the one connected to its lid.
I bought this as an alternative to MUF HD Loose powder. You live, you learn; I won't repurchase. It makes me look pasty/chalky.

EDIT (October 31 2011):
This update is a little bit late, but I did almost finish this product (I have no desire to finish it actually, so I changed some of my ratings). Right now I'm using Revlon Photoready Translucent Finisher... so I can actually compare this to something.
- compared to Revlon's, this doesn't actually mattify or anything
- the packaging is really driving me nuts, I hate it. It's so annoying trying to fit my powder brush into the cap (I swirl my brush in the cap so I can get the powder on it evenly)
- one thing I like more about this than Revlon's is that this powder isn't sparkly, and although I bought both products in translucent, this product doesn't give my face a white cast (or make my face paler) as much as Revlon's finisher does.
But all in all, I will not repurchase this. Below is my original review.
okay so this is the first translucent powder i've used, so i've got nothing to compare it to, but i can still give a brief review of what i think about this and how i make it work for me.
first off, i hate the packaging. ideally, i would shake a bit of powder into the cap, and swirl my brush in the cap to get it evenly on the brush, but it doesn't really sift the powder too well, so i end up dipping my brush in then trying to fit the brush in the cap to swirl. oh! i should mention that i don't use its brush, i use a stippling powder brush, and it's a bigger brush, so yeah, i have a hard time sticking it in the cap to swirl.
the key is to not take too much. always tap it off before putting it on your face (for me, i take very VERY little, cause i've taken too much before, and it made me look cakey. usually i tap it before putting it on my face, but when i tap, powder doesnt fly out - yes that's how little i take). before applying it on face i dab the brush on my tzone, and on each cheek, then i start swirling my stippling powder brush and buffing it in my skin.
it does give my skin a soft velvety look, and i feel like it does control my shine, at least for awhile. after a few hours, of course, it wears off, my velvety face is gone. but it works for me. i'm not really sure if i'll buy it again, but i will compare it to the revlon photoready finishing powder that i've also bought when i got this. hopefully that one will be better or works just as well.

Cornstarch works better as a translucent face powder than this crap, and its obv. cheap and your pretty much set for life.

The brush is horrible; it's very rough. The packaging also sucks -- too much powder comes out at once and it's very messy. The product itself is ok, nothing special. I've gotten similar results with other drugstore brand loose powders that were much cheaper. (The powder also irritates my face on some days, such as when I sweat more.)

Its good powder and I was under the impression it was in comparison to mufe silica powder because its in the ingredients. I do like to put it in a different container I ended up putting it in a powder jar from maybelline. Its good for controlling oil from what i see so far and I also use a powder puff to buff it on over my makeup. I bought it for oil control so hopefully it holds up. This is not cheap for ds makeup but i guess cheaper than high end stuff. I think it was around 11.00 where I went. Would get again if I wanted to pick up a silica powder or they call them soft focus powders.

DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Destino made its world premier today at the North American International Auto show as the newest four-door performance car in the world market of exclusive automobiles. Based on an award-winning design by Henrik Fisker and powered by the internationally applauded Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 powertrain, Destino is the result of collaboration by industrialist Gilbert Villereal and former General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz.
"The goal in designing and engineering this automobile is to provide true motoring enthusiasts with an exquisite work of automotive art that performs at a world-class level. Attention to detail is a paramount concern, as is reliability and ease of maintenance," according to Lutz. "We have made styling modifications to differentiate our design and reengineered the chassis to accommodate the 638bhp ZR1's handcrafted LS9 engine with either a manual or automatic transmission. The result is truly an American designed, engineered and manufactured four-door performance car that rivals such models as the Porche Panamera and Aston-Martin-Lagonda Rapide.
"We are developing our distribution network now and will deliver Destino on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers will have the option of customizing the exterior color and interior trim," Lutz said.
Destino has an overall length of 202.8 inches and a 124.4 inch wheelbase. Overall height is 52.4 inches.
Destino will be manufactured in Auburn Hills, Michigan under the auspices of VL Productions. Destino is scheduled for retail sales in the second half of 2013 following certification and validation. Prototypes are currently in testing.
Additional information, specifications and photos are available at www.VL-Automotive.com

- $1.236 million Bethel College fund goal met
- Youth learn history to earn prizes at Bethel's youth convention display
- Bethel junior accepted into scholars in rural health program
- A fun and funky 41st Fall Fest
- Booster Club announces Hall of Fame inductees

$1.236 million Bethel College fund goal met
More than 1,500 generous donors helped Bethel meet the Bethel College Fund goal of $1.236 million for the fiscal year 2010-11, which ended June 30.
"We are grateful to everyone who helped us meet the goal," said Sondra Bandy Koontz, vice president for advancement. "Our donors have indicated that students are their priority by helping the college meet this goal, just as they helped Bethel meet the Mabee Challenge for a new Academic Center.
"Gifts to the Bethel College Fund provide for scholarships, student ministries, faculty development, campus landscaping and technology upgrades. They help to fund the difference between what students pay and the actual cost of their education. Bethel College Fund gifts assist every student at Bethel, and allow the college the flexibility to respond to opportunities as they arise."
Almost 3,000 donors contributed to various projects at Bethel during the fiscal year.
Youth learn history to earn prizes at Bethel's youth convention display
After two freebie-free Mennonite Youth Conventions in a row, Bethel staff decided on a creative variation of previous Bethel booths.
At the Mennonite Church USA assembly in Pittsburgh in July, Bethel offered giveaways – but the youth had to earn them.
"For the [San Jose and Columbus] conventions, we gave away nothing except money to go to service agencies" that youth groups who had winning tickets drawn got to choose, said Dale Schrag, director of church relations and interim campus pastor. "This year, we decided to give away T-shirts and 'thinking putty' as well as money to youth groups for service projects.
"But we didn't just want to hand it out," Schrag continued. "We wanted to require something of the recipients. We debated asking them to trade in another T-shirt for one of ours, and then we'd give the shirts to Mennonite Central Committee, but MCC didn't [need] them. So we decided to ask them to learn something in order to get the prizes.
"Since I'm on the Mennonite Church USA Historical Committee, I knew there would be displays of significant events in the history of racial/ethnic Mennonites. We created a different scavenger hunt for each day, based on the history display, to be completed in order to qualify for the prize of the day."
The youth picked up cards at Bethel's booth, filled them out and handed them in – to get a T-shirt on Monday and Tuesday and a tin of thinking putty on Wednesday. For Thursday and Friday, youth put the completed cards into a tumbler from which four cards were drawn just before the display area closed Friday afternoon.
The four winners – Daniel Martin of Weavers Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg, Va., Karli Mast of Zion Mennonite Church, Hubbard, Ore., Mark Nabers of First Mennonite Church, Morton, Ill., and Teagan Powers of Pinto Mennonite Church, Cumberland, Md. – each will receive $500 to go to the charity of their youth group's choice.
Bethel junior accepted into scholars in rural health program
Natalie Stucky, a junior from Moundridge, is one of only 15 applicants statewide to be accepted into the University of Kansas (KU) Scholars in Rural Health program in 2011.
The selective program gives students who have participated in a pre-med curriculum the opportunity to learn from mentors and other professionals in a rural primary-care setting. By doing so, it encourages those students to pursue medical careers in rural communities.
Stucky is taking Bethel's pre-med courses while also fulfilling requirements for an individualized major that focuses on history and social work.
"I saw this as a really good opportunity to shadow a physician and find out if this is what I want to do," Stucky said. "I know it's hard to set up those kinds of connections otherwise, so I am pleased to be able to do this."
Initially, Stucky was one of 20 candidates whom the selection committee chose for a process of further review that included an interview. Students who satisfactorily complete the scholars program are automatically admitted to the KU School of Medicine if they wish to pursue a medical career.
A fun and funky 41st Fall Fest
Bethel's 41st Fall Festival, Oct. 6-9, will include a number of "fun and funky" features as the college approaches its 125th anniversary in 2012.
The festival again kicks off with Taste of Newton downtown. This is the 25th year that the college and the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce have collaborated on the well-attended event, evidence of the good relationship between Bethel and the community.
One of the fun and funky features will be the "Awesome 150: Museum Friends Share Their Favorites" display at Kauffman museum. Already installed, it celebrates the Kansas sesquicentennial and the Kauffman Museum collection with 150 artifacts and specimens usually kept behind-the-scenes at the museum. The exhibition will run through Fall Festival.
Another special display, "Fun and funky Thresher stuff," will feature commemorative and collectible items (pennants, plates, cups, pins, toys, paperweights, plaques, clothing, etc.) that honor Bethel with text, shape or image. Alumni are invited to loan their unusual memorabilia for display. Exhibitors are especially interested in what might be described as "kitschy" items. Contact exhibit host Sondra Koontz, vice president for advancement, at 316-284-5341 or via e-mail no later than Friday, Sept. 23.
Visitors will also be able to view a downsized version of the Bethel display created for the Mennonite Church USA convention in Pittsburgh in July (see previous story). Complete with bean bag chairs and photos of students engaged in various activities during the school year, the booth focused on students having fun at Bethel.
Also following the theme, this year's stage production is the classic British comedy "Charley's Aunt," by Brandon Thomas. The family-friendly farce takes place in Oxford, England, in 1890, where three male students create a tangle of confusion, with one of them dressed as Charley's Aunt Donna Lucia from Brazil.
For decades Bethel students have used their intellect and creativity to pull off pranks on campus. A program titled "Thank you, Herman Bubbert: Bethel pranks throughout the years" will give alumni the opportunity to see photos of pranks, share their own memories of such endeavors, and confess their own involvement.
As creation of the new Academic Center progresses, the Bethel College Women's Association will offer more scientific collectibles from the old Science Hall. Antique bottles, beakers, test tubes, slides and evaporation dishes will be among the items available by donation.
For "Harry Potter" fans, the Bethel Quidditch club invites everyone to a morning match of Muggle Quidditch, a game based on the fictional version of the challenge made famous in the series of books by J. K. Rowling. Fall Festival goers of all ages may join in the fun or just watch. No previous experience is required.
Children can enjoy story time Saturday as the Western District Conference of Mennonite Church USA celebrates 75 years of providing resources to regional congregations. For decades, a weekly preschool story hour enriched hundreds of children's lives. Adults as well as children are invited to hear old-time favorites while seated on blankets under trees on the Green.
Fall Festival weekend will also include an array of other activities.
Booster Club announces Hall of Fame inductees
Former two-sport athlete and volleyball coach Bev Mayer, Phoenix, and standout football player Tod Bean, Murray, Utah, will be inducted into the Athletic Booster Club Hall of Fame during Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 8.
Mayer was an outstanding two-sport athlete in volleyball and track from 1984-88. She was a four-year letter winner in both sports, under the coaching of Diane Flickner in volleyball and George Rogers III in track….
As head coach for Bethel's volleyball program from 1994-2005, Mayer continued the strong tradition of outstanding volleyball by directing her teams to five conference championships and five tournament championships and qualifying for the NAIA Region IV tournament in eight out of 11 years….
Bean transferred to Bethel from Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, for his junior and senior years, 1991-92. In his career at Bethel, he recorded 98 solo tackles, 89 assisted tackles, nine tackles for a loss and 23 quarterback sacks, playing under the coaching of Kent Rogers.
Bean was Team Defensive MVP his senior year while earning 1st Team KCAC, 1st Team District 10 and 1st Team NAIA All-America honors for his play on the defensive side of the ball. He owns the record for most sacks in a game with five against McPherson College in his senior season….
Travel with Kauffman Museum on a 'Dog and Pony Show'
Kauffman Museum invites alumni and friends of Bethel and the museum to go on a bus tour Thursday, Sept. 22, hosted by curator of education Andi Schmidt Andres.
"A Kansas 150 Trip: The Dog and Pony Show" will feature a tour of KSDS in Washington, a facility that trains guide dogs for the blind, service dogs for the disabled, and social dogs for care facilities (the dog part of the trip). The group will also visit historic sites that tell the story of the Pony Express that carried mail from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Calif., in the 1860s (the pony part of the trip).
The one-day tour will also include a visit to MarCon Pies, Washington, one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Commerce (a project of the Kansas Sampler Foundation), and a catered four-meat buffet supper with all the fixings in the recently restored Weaver Hotel, Waterville.
The cost of $110 for Kauffman Museum Association members or $130 for non-members covers breakfast muffin and juice on the bus, lunch and supper, admission fees, travel on motor coach and gratuities.
For more information on becoming a museum member or to reserve your seat, contact Andi Schmidt Andres via e-mail or at 316-283-1612. Reservations with credit card payment will be accepted by phone. A limited number of seats are available on first-come, first-served basis.

It helps you view yourself through the lens of love and acceptance, not criticism, self-doubt, beating yourself up for your imperfections or only seeing what's wrong with you. It allows you to recognize and celebrate the good qualities you have instead of ignoring them until the day you lose those extra pounds, find a way to make more money, get the hair you envy in others, or whatever shortcoming you make more important than the good person you are.

275ml bottle received in trade from RobertDale, thanks for the opportunity!
Pours a crystal clear dark straw color with a decent sized white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aromas of sweet honey like malt with a touch of carmelization, a hint of floral hop and a touch of minerals. The flavor is fairly sweet with a light sugary or honey like flavor with a touch of non descript fruitiness in it. Very faint earthy hop flavor and virtually no hop bitterness. Light body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. nothing horrible about this beer, but I wouldn't seek this out again unless I was on the island of origin

Pours with a very pale yellow color, completely clear, and with a decent although not lasting head.
There's not much to the smell, just some hops, sweet in character.
The taste starts with a minimal sweetness and is followed by a very mild hoppy bitterness. A nice combination of bitter-sweet.
Although not much to the taste, it's a very refreshing and easy to drink beer. What I call, a perfect beach beer.

This beer is a lot like Corona and other light-style Mexican beers such as landshark and Bud Light Lime. The taste is better than other "beach beers" I've had, even though it has the same look and feel. The smell is light and sweet. The after taste is not overwhelming or too h oppy. Overall: Not as bad as I expected; good for the beach, boat, or sunny summer day.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Congressman Paul Ryan calls into the show about the new two-year budget deal that was reached. They discuss the spending increases being immediate and the reductions being taken place over time, which Mark says it means we may never actually see the reductions. Congressman Ryan talks about what is included in the budget agreement and why this will be good for the country. Also, Indiana State Senator David Long calls in about last weekend's Article V Convention and what was discussed and the plan to move forward. Also, President Obama attends Nelson Mandela's funeral and shakes Raul Castro's hand and the leftist media thinks nothing of it. Mark says that President George W. Bush did a lot more to help Africa and South Africa than Obama ever has or will do. Finally, Senator Mitch McConnell says he's a supporter of the Tea Party and Mark says since when has he supported any of the Tea Party movements?

Orchids are a long-lasting and particularly elegant type of flower, making them the perfect gift for many occasions. Their graceful appearance draws immediate attention, and their reputation as an exotic and unusual flower evokes a sense of refinement and innocence. With many orchid varieties to choose from and the meanings of orchids being so special, you are sure to find one that can express the right message, whether it be Thank You, Happy Anniversary, Congrats on Your Promotion, or anything in between.
With an estimated 25,000 different types existing naturally and more being discovered each year, orchids are of the largest flowering plant families. Although they are commonly thought of as tropical, exotic flowers, orchids grow naturally in almost all climates. Despite their versatility, there is something distinctly exotic about orchids. They are intricately beautiful to the everyday flower lover and are considered to be some of the world's most evolved flowers to flower specialists. Of the many orchid varieties, the Phalaenopsis (or Moth), Cymbidium, and Dendrobium orchids are the most popular types, and the Vanilla Orchid (and its vanilla bean) is the most highly produced variety.
Orchids can impart a wide variety of messages, but historically the meanings of orchids have included wealth, love, and beauty. To the ancient Greeks, orchids suggested virility, and after the rise in popularity of orchid collections in Victorian England, the meaning of orchids moved towards being symbolic of luxury. Orchids have also been believed to carry various healing and protective properties, allowing them to ward off disease. The Aztecs were said to drink a mixture of the vanilla orchid and chocolate to give them power and strength, and the Chinese believe orchids can help cure lung illnesses and coughs.
Today, the meanings of orchids are generally regarded as a symbolic of rare and delicate beauty. Orchids are the most popular houseplant, a top honor they share with the peace lily. Their charm and mystique delight those who receive them, for few other flowers have the ability to impress their recipient in the same way that the orchid can. Among the many different types of flowers available, the orchid holds a special place as one of the most alluring and captivating, making them a special choice for the treasured people in your life.

Only the traditional rose is more popular than November's birthday flower -- the beautiful and adaptable Chrysanthemum or "mum" flower.
October's birth flower, the vibrant marigold, has been prized for its beauty, as well as its many useful qualities.
Those lucky enough to be born in in the month of September can claim the vibrant aster as their birthday flower.

Head coach Bill Self and KU sent off four seniors in style Monday night over Texas Tech.
As expected, the Jayhawks clobbered the Red Raiders 79-42 at Allen Fieldhouse on Senior Night.
Every single player on KU's team played Monday night but the seniors led in scoring. Jeff Withey had a game high 22 points, followed by Kevin Young with 14. Travis Releford and Ben McLemore had 13 a piece and Elijah Johnson finished with seven points.
McLemore wasn't included in the senior year festivities but that could have been his final game in Lawrence. The redshirt freshman is expected to declare for the NBA Draft after this season. He is projected to be a high lottery pick if he does leave KU.
KU barely broke a sweat it seemed like against Texas Tech, leading by as many as 27 in the first half, only to lead by 25 at halftime. Johnson finished the night with 12 assists, many of them were from alley-oop dunks.
Jayhawks made only two three-pointers all night, one of them came from Withey of all people. Releford made the other.
Perry Ellis came in off the bench, had seven points all coming at the free throw line but also had seven rebounds.
KU is still eyeing a ninth straight Big 12 regular season title with a trip to Baylor, Saturday before the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City.

In the thirty years after the Civil War, the United States blew by Great Britain to become the greatest economic power in world history. That is a well-known period in history, when titans like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan walked the earth.
But as Charles R. Morris shows us, the platform for that spectacular growth spurt was built in the first half of the century. By the 1820s, America was already the world's most productive manufacturer, and the most intensely commercialized society in history. The War of 1812 jumpstarted the great New England cotton mills, the iron centers in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and the forges around the Great Lakes. In the decade after the War, the Midwest was opened by entrepreneurs. In this beautifully illustrated book, Morris paints a vivid panorama of a new nation buzzing with the work of creation. He also points out the parallels and differences in the nineteenth century American/British standoff and that between China and America today.
