jessiCa janasZ/kansan From left, employees Kasey Fickel, paola, and Taylor Hrabe, olathe, serve customers at the Cupcake Construction Company. The best part is watching the cupcake creations people come up with, especially the little kids, Hrabe said. The cupcake store is located at 727 Massachusetts st. and is open sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. dana meredith dmeredith@kansan.com First, New York City. Then, Los Angeles. Now, Lawrence? It seems as though the cupcake craze that started on the coasts has made its way to town. Cupcake Construction Company, 727 Massachusetts St., opened its doors here in early May. Now, Billy Vanilly Cupcakes is setting up shop just blocks away, at 914 Massachusetts St. Its trendy, but its retro at the same time, said Allyson Fiander, owner of Billy Vanilly, which will open in Lawrence in mid- or late September. The pint-sized treats first started gaining traction about three years ago. And theyre still a hot commodity. According to the Wall Street Journal, Crumbs, a New Yorkbased cupcake chain, did $31 million in sales in 2010. TV viewers have their choice between Cupcake Wars, D.C. Cupcakes and The Cupcake Girls. And in November 2009, London-based research firm Mintel predicted cupcake sales would grow 20 percent over the next five years. Michael Kricsfeld, co-owner of Cupcake Construction Company, thinks that the trend is hotter than ever. As long as people keep referring to things as the next cupcake, that means cupcake is still the No. 1 thing, Kricsfeld said. Kricsfeld said that summer business was good at his bakery, where customers get to decide their cupcakes flavor, filling, frosting and toppings. And rather than feeling threatened by Billy Vanilly moving to town, he said he was excited to see it open. The more people think cupcakes, the more people offering cupcakes will benefit, Kricsfeld said. Fiander, who opened the first Billy Vanilly location in Topeka four years ago, said that she thought the two bakeries were different enough that they could appeal to different people. Some people may like to design their own cupcake, whereas others might like our pre-designed flavors more, Fiander said. In addition to cupcakes, Billy Vanilly offers cakes and other pastries, such as muffins and scones. Fiander said her bakery also stressed the use of local and organic ingredients in its products. Both bakery owners, however, use Facebook and Twitter accounts to reach customers. And at less than $3 each, the cupcakes could appeal to cash-strapped college students. I think its really comparable to a latt or a yogurt, Fiander said. Amelia Taylor, a sophomore from Wichita, has been working at Cupcake Construction Company for three weeks. She thinks cupcakes will catch on with students. Just the other day, my friend had a cupcake birthday party, Taylor said. Cupcakes are a nice present if you dont really want to find one.

Kansas agriculture officials are cautioning consumers to be careful after hundreds of pounds of beef and pork were stolen from a custom meat locker in the northeastern part of the state. The state Agriculture Department says the theft occurred sometime Thursday night near the Marshall County town of Beattie (BAY-tee). The lockers owner says hamburger and hogs that were taken had been processed earlier in the day and might not have been frozen. Among the items taken were 250 pounds of ground beef, up to 150 pounds of bacon, several hundred dollars worth of beef jerky, three custom hogs and a gun.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was nowhere to be found Monday as his 42-year rule teetered on the brink of collapse. Months of NATO airstrikes have left his Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli largely demolished. Most of his security forces fled or surrendered when rebel forces rolled into the capital Sunday night and took control of most of the city. Three of his sons were arrested. A mood of joy mixed with trepidation settled over the capital, with the rebels still fighting pockets of fierce resistance from regime loyalists firing mortars and anti-aircraft guns. Rebel spokesman Mohammed Abdel-Rahman, who was in Tripoli, said the danger is still there as long as Gadhafi remains on the run.

need a place to get asprin or a full check-up, they can make an appointment at Watkins Health Center three different ways. Communications Coordinator of Student Success Mai Hester said the best way to see a medical provider is to make an appointment. Students can log in to studenthealth.ku.edu using their KU online ID or call Watkins Health Center directly to make an appointment. Watkins also accepts walk-ins, but there is a better chance of seeing a medical provider by making an appointment in advance. Hester said the walk-in option is new this semester. Cody Blair, senior from Valley Center, made an appointment with Watkins over the phone for a visit later in the week. It was very easy and Watkins was really helpful, he said. Watkins does not charge an additional fee, or a copay rate,
to students seeing physicians, excluding lab services or prescriptions. Our rates are usually lower than the median price for the Lawrence area, Hester said. We dont make a profit. Watkins works with the individuals insurance company, and it is up to the student to know what the company will cover. The health center does not require a payment up-front; the student is billed after the visit. Watkins also has a pharmacy on campus and sells over-thecounter products. Hester said a popular purchase at the pharmacy is three condoms for 50 cents. Watkins Health Center is located on campus at 1200 Schwegler Drive. For more information, visit the website at http://studenthealth.ku.edu or call Watkins directly at 785864-9500.
Emily Emke, a senior from Lawrence, pays for parking at the garage by the Kansas Union Monday afternoon. the entrances at Oread Avenue and Mississippi Street. This system gives people parking there more payment options. Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking and Transit, said that before, people would have to guess how long they would stay parked, resulting in more $20 parking tickets. With the new gate system, garage users receive tickets on the way in and insert the tickets in a paying station and pay by Visa or Mastercard on the way out. We thought it would be more user friendly, Hultine said. The system will only charge for the actual hours you park. With this system, no parking tickets

are issued. Sergio Toledo, a freshman from Kansas City, said the system is a bit confusing. People could just throw the ticket away, he said. The parking gates function 24 hours a day.
The University Career Center is a resource offered to students to help them find employment while at the University and even after graduation. Many students find on-campus jobs each year through kucareerhawk. com, a Career Center website that lists all campus jobs available. Throughout the year, departments that need
help post job openings and students can apply to the listings. These jobs range from grading papers to developing websites for various departments and schools. Jessie Weishaar, a senior from Meriden, has been working for Information Technology for almost two years. She works in campus libraries and computer labs helping students trouble shoot technology issues. Weishaar found her job through the Career Center website. I just wanted the convenience of getting out of class and going straight to work without having to drive, Weishaar said. Ann Hartley, associate
director of the Career Center, said that if a job in a specific department is not listed, the student can also contact the department to find out more information. To apply, students can create an online application that can be saved and edited. Hartley said students should be as thorough as possible when filling out online applications for a better chance of landing a job. Some people will list no availability and then no one will call them back, Hartley said. In most cases the department will call the applicant and set up an interview. It is rare to be hired immediately from your application.
department. A violator wishing to appeal will hear back within 10 business days. The process is ex parte the judge directly considers what is written on the appeal form, Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking and Transit, said. In person appeals are accepted as well, but are not guaranteed to be successful. For in-person appeals, first year KU law students act as defense and prosecution attorneys, and the judges are second year law students. This is a court of equity, not a court of law so they do consider extenuating circumstances, Hultine said. Appealing does not always mean the violation
will be excused. Cullen Jordan, a senior from Olathe, said the appeal process was too complicated, so he gave up fighting a parking ticket he received in July. Jordan said his parking permit was valid until July 31, but got a parking ticket on July 1 when he was parked in a yellow zone, an area his permit covered. I didnt get an actual ticket or a notice, it just showed up on my account, Jordan said. I couldnt enroll for fall classes and I had a financial hold for only $20. I just ended up paying for it.

to the attendant. A new card is issued on the spot and the student will be charged a replacement fee of $15 on his or her account. The Card Center does not accept money, so the student will not have to worry about paying when the new
card is issued. The original id picture taken at New Student Orientation is saved and is duplicated on each card made. The KU Card Center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
On the second day of New Student Orientation, each student receives a KU ID at checkout. The student identification card is functional on and off campus and can be used to pump gas, buy food at the Underground and do laundry in the residence halls. There is quite a bit of functionality to the card, KU card administrator Nancy Miles said. The students individual meal plan, money for printing and sports tickets are loaded onto the card. It can even serve as a debit card if the student sets up a checking account with Commerce Bank at the Kansas Union. If the card is lost or stolen, Miles recommends students to report it lost or stolen at kucard.ku.edu. After it is reported, the card is deactivated and cannot be used by anyone else. To replace a lost or stolen card, students can visit the KU Card Center on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union and show a valid ID

Runaway cow eludes searchers in Germany
BErLIN, Germany A runaway cow named Yvonne is on the loose in Germany and the manhunt or moohunt for the Bavarian bovine has captivated the country. The freedom-loving cow ran away from a little farm in Bavaria in May and has managed to hide successfully in the forests of southern Germany ever since despite her sturdy 1,500-pound (700-kilogram) figure. Locals have reported a few sightings of the brown dairy cow with the white head, but every time search teams have tried to capture her, Yvonne had already hoofed it from the area. searchers have tried to lure Yvonne into the open with food, with the bellows of her son Friesi and her sister waltraud, even with a prospective mate named Ernst. scores of volunteers are combing upper Bavarias woods for her. The six-year-old animal would have never made national headlines if it hadnt been for a near-collision with a police car days after she broke away. The rural district office in Muehldorf reacted by labeling the big-eyed bovine a public danger and ordering her shot on sight. That prompted animalrights activists to rally to her defense. A Facebook page calling for Yvonnes rescue had more than 23,000 likes by Friday, and Germanys biggest-selling newspaper, Bild, has offered a euro 10,000 ($14,369) award on its front page for anyone who helps find Yvonne. In the wake of all the attention, the order to shoot Yvonne has been suspended. A Bavarian animal sanctuary has bought Yvonne from her former owners sight unseen, of course and is taking the lead in trying to rescue her. were hot on her tail, it reported Friday. Meanwhile, a song by local band Gnadenkapelle has become an instant radio hit. why dont you leave Yvonne alone, shes only a runaway cow... You wild cow, dont let them take your freedom, they sing.

mmontano@kansan.com good about what Im putting in my body. Then you look at the prices of organic foods, do a double take, walk past them and pick the regular fruit and vegetable options. Prices are high because it takes more effort and time to grow foods free of pesticides, and because demand is relatively low for organic produce. A line from the documentary Food, Inc. still sticks with me today Eating is the most intimate thing we can do for our bodies. Its true; so why are we careless about the food we put into our bodies when we care so much about what we put on our bodies like clothes, tattoos, cologne and makeup? Shouldnt our logic be reversed? Farm Aid hopes to put an end to food conglomerates by putting the power back in the hands of individuals. The organization promotes
local farmers produce, which gives people a healthier life is a better option than produce grown with pesticides. Since its inception, Farm Aid has raised more than $39 million through concerts and events to help farmers compete with the goliaths of the food industry. Without attending this concert, I would have never known about this powerful Good Food Movement. Its making me question where my food comes from, and how a few extra bucks at the grocery store can produce major benefits in the long run. I dont want to contribute any more of my money to big food chains because that Im just a blip on their radar, but for local farmers, I am one of their strongest contenders. If youre like me, and want to know more about how to get involved and be a voice in this movement, be sure to check out FarmAid.org. Mike Montano is a junior in journalism from Boston

dlysen@kansan.com males for the same reason and today Timberlake is actually loved by those same people who hate Bieber. Maybe it has nothing to do with money, fame or looking like a girl. Maybe it all depends on what
Biebs and JT represent. Timberlake came to fame through his super famous boy band N Sync, and was adored by many pre-teen females (and maybe a pop culture columnist for the UDK) when most of us college kids were in those awkward years ourselves. Call me crazy, but I have a strange feeling that N Sync was not so popular with the college male crowd during those years. These people didnt hate Timberlake because he could sing and date other super famous pop stars, he was hated because of what he was: the face of pop culture, and sadly, that happens to be driven by
pre-teen girls. Pre-teen girls have somehow decided what needs to be known throughout pop-culture for decades. When a little band from Liverpool, England, known as the Beatles arrived in the United States, pre-teen females made it clear what was popular: screaming their heads off, just because a few good-looking dudes played some songs. Pop artists havent looked back since. Many 12-year-olds dont have much going on in their lives; other than the occasional crush and learning vocabulary words, not much to think about. To fill that
void, many young teenagers waste their parents money and time by obsessing over people who are famous for being famous. So much money spent so that thousands of young teenage girls can hear Biebs sing Baby (hoping that hes singing about them). But for Bieber, this means that the college community realizes (subconsciously) that pre-teen females run the pop-culture world. Justin Bieber is not interesting to our generation because we already have our guy, and his name is Justin Timberlake. He has already dealt with his share of hate, and is now just a cool dude that ends
up in movies and could possibly be the most entertaining Saturday Night Live host in recent memory. I have no doubt that Justin Bieber will someday be the new (adult-version) of Justin Timberlake. He will someday quit writing music, appear in a few movies, and practically make a living on just being Biebs. For now, he has to deal with the hate, take his lumps and power through, because someday he will be our favorite. Never say never. Dylan Lysen is a junior in journalism from Andover

am sure youve heard at least one song featuring the rapper Pitbull. To my ears, all his songs sound eerily similar. It has drawn me to the conclusion that Pitbull is the equivalent to an athlete who is a role player. Pitbull is the guy who comes off the bench and drains a couple of threes. He is then removed after providing the needed spark to get the offense rolling, replaced by someone who plays better defense. Heck, Pitbull could even be a guy like Robert Horry, who started in less than half the games he played but still won seven championships. Horry did play key roles on those teams. He played valuable minutes in the playoffs, especially during overtime. Horry even sank enough clutch shots to earn the

epadway@kansan.com nickname Big Shot Rob. But considering Pitbull is already a nickname, I dont think fans will start shouting for One Verse Pit at a concert anytime soon. Pitbulls best moments come when he hops in for a verse, livens up a song and gives the other artist a break. He then steps back out to let the other guy do his thing. I feel the song is refreshed, and Im excited to hear the other artist again. And on his most recent chart topping hit, Give Me
Everything, in which he did headline, he had major help from artists Ne-Yo and Nayer. Now, I admit my argument does have some flaws. You can have three different role players on a song and the song can rise to the top of the charts, but in contrast you will never see role players lead teams to championships. Fans will go watch Pitbull in concert, but has anyone ever said to you, Hey, lets go see the Heat tonight, Mike Miller is in the starting lineup. Of course not. People watch the Heat for Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Its the same reason why a team led by Shane Battier will never compete for a championship. But if he finds a good spot where he can specialize in something, he has a chance to contribute for a competitor. Pitbull wont ever win album of
the year at the Grammy Awards, but he might have a shot at best rap collaboration if he is surrounded by the right people. No one will ever mistake Pitbull for one of the greatest artists of all time, and 30 years from now I dont think youll hear Culo or I Know You Want Me
frequent the oldies stations. But like Horry, Pitbull will be able to look back on his career satisfied with what he accomplished.

COMMENTARY
Lawrence Journal-World on Monday morning that Sands failed to appear in court on June 21. Sands received the original citation the night of April 7 when police were called to his apartment in the 1300 block of West 24th Street. Sgt. Matt Sarna told the Lawrence Journal-World that someone had called in to complain about a loud party.
Sarna said junior safety Bradley McDougald, Sands roommate, was also cited for disturbing the peace in the incident and resolved the case on May 4, when McDougald pled guilty and paid $253 in court costs and fines. A bench warrant had been out for

James Sims: A 6-0, 205-pound sophomore, Sims is the lead back heading into the season. Sims is the best all-around back on the roster. He scored 10 touchdowns and led the Jayhawks with 742 yards rushing last season, eighth in the nation among freshmen runners. He made his debut against Georgia Tech and ran the ball 17 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Jayhawks first victory under coach Turner Gill. Sims was named the 2010 KU backfield player of the year and should get the bulk of the carries this year.
Sims
darrian Miller: Miller is a four-star recruit who Rivals.com rankedas the No. 1 player in Missouri in 2011. Gill held out Miller from Saturdays scrimmage as a precautionary measure. Miller impressed his teammates and coaches during spring football. If there is one running back capable of unseating Sims as the lead back, it is Miller.

n the format of Twitters 140-character limit, heres some thoughts on the banning of KU players Twitter accounts: n Damn, the one connection fans had with the #KUfball players is gone. Twitter gave personality to those no-named jerseys. n It wasnt enough for @ Coachturnergill to ban tweeting, but as part of his new rule on twitter he made each player with an account delete it. n Obviously, from Gills point of view, its easy to see why there should be a ban. It eliminates the risk of unnecessary distraction. n However, those 140 characters (or fewer) packed in a box gave us fans the insight to their lives that made it fun to follow them. n Did followers care about everything that @jizzle_11 and @DP4heisman shared with the world? No, but there were some worthy posts. n When DP & AJs take on #KU debuted, it gave fans a reason to talk about #KUfball and showed us the lighter side of football. n By posting the link to their video on YouTube, fans and reporters alike retweeted and continually discussed the hilarity of the series. n It even made its way to @ ESPN where it was shown and discussed on @cfblive, forget that @ mark_may was bashing the two #allpressisgoodpress. n Like it or not tweeting created more excitement about #KUfball regardless of whether people were actually talking about the games. n As much as @coachturnergill has a point, its really a shame that fans cant interact with players. It was a great way to help fill seats. n If James Sims is giving himself a new crazy haircut in the locker room, why cant Kale Pick tweet a picture of it? #doitjames! n Let fans mainly students be in on some of the jokes. Where would #KU be as a school without the wisdom of @Kansastwin22 & @Kansastwin21? n The all-immortal #FOE and #Nodaysoff are more than just hashtags, they are a way of student identification with their athlete counterparts. n Twitter has been a blessing and a curse, but if used the right way it can be a promotional tool if the players #tweetsmart. n It might just be time for pop culture to merge with the sports world, as @ESPN_Colin tweeted Monday 55 % of twitter users-use it 4 sports. n It seems to work well for #KUbball. Is it possible for @ coachbillself to give the #KUfball a class on how to tweet w/o getting in trouble? n Although it may be time to tone down #KUCMB, theres just something about Kansas University College Mens Basketball that doesnt sound right. n Its likely that we wont miss anything of significant importance without #KUfball players tweeting, but not all tweeting is nonsense. n After all, it only took me 140 (or less) characters to get out what I needed to say.

James Sims starting running back
BaCkfiEld backs competing for carries BrEakdown A look at the top running
ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com The running back position appears to be one of the most talented positions for the Kansas Jayhawks heading into the 2011 season. James Sims has been named the starter, but expect to see a variety of players used throughout the season depending on the situation. Here is a player-by-player breakdown of the running back position.
Brandon Bourbon: He impressed during Saturdays scrimmage, scoring twice. Bourbon has a good combination of power and speed but missed most of spring practice with an ankle injury. Although not a pure power back, Bourbon is the closest thing to a power back on the roster.
Bourbon Pierson
anthony Pierson: He is the fastest back in the rotation. Coming out of high school, he was listed as the eighth-best athlete in the 2011 recruiting class according to Rivals.com. Pierson notched the two longest runs of the day during Saturdays scrimmage, one of which went for a touchdown. Gill has said he doesnt think Pierson will be an everydown back because of his size, but every time Pierson touches the ball, he has the ability to score.
