Kansas vs. Kentucky LIVE UPDATES: NCAA Tournament Title Game

Kentucky and Kansas meet for the 2012 NCAA men's basketball championship in a classic matchup of traditional powers.

No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats
(37-2, 16-0 SEC)
vs.
No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks
(32-6, 16-2 Big 12)
Tip-Off Time: 9:23 PM ET
Mercedes-Benz Superdome
New Orleans, LA

Basketball isn't just in Kansas anymore. The commonwealth of Kentucky boasts so much hoops talent that it had a national semifinal all to itself. Of course, basketball dominance did make its way to the Bluegrass State by way of the Kansas Jayhawks' vaunted program, founded by James Naismith.

Long before John Calipari, or even Rick Pitino, was calling the shots for the Wildcats, Adolph Rupp patroled the home sideline in Lexington. As a player, Rupp learned the game in Lawrence, Kansas, under the tutelage of legendary Jayhawks coach Phog Allen and his assistant, Naismith.

The No. 1 overall seed in the entire tournament, Kentucky enters the national championship game as the betting favorite over a Kansas squad that has lived dangerously throughout March. Led by outstanding (presumably) one-and-done freshmen Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the Wildcats are the most physically dynamic team in the nation. They rolled through the SEC regular season without a loss and broke the century mark in a Sweet 16 rematch with one of the two teams to defeat them before the NCAA tournament.

At the other end of the floor, the Jayhawks may be the most mentally tough team from the field of 68. Poise and passion have kept the Jayhawks advancing through the tournament even when their shooting deserted them. Kansas' rally past Ohio State in the "other game" in the Final Four was just the latest amazing result that has this team believing it's a team of destiny.

Can Bill Self best John Calipari on the college game's biggest stage? Will Jeff Withey be able to throw off Davis? Does Kentucky have anyone ready to withstand Thomas Robinson? Or will an unexpected x-factor player decide the 2012 national championship?

STAY TUNED FOR LIVE UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE GAME:

Kansas gets another bucket to beat a first-half buzzer. This time it's Taylor.

After MKG and Robinson trade buckets, Kentucky slows it down as the clock is under a minute. MKG misses shot..

Robinson drives hard but throws it too high off the glass. Is he compensating for Davis' reach? Withey grabs the board but can't drop it in. Robinson fouled on the ensuing rebound but misses the front end.

Kentucky leads 39-23, after Robinson hits a pair of free throws. Can they make any sort of run before the break?

Doron Lamb sinks another jumper and Kentucky's lead continues to swell. Davis is out, seemingly fixing a contact lens.

Out of another timeout, Kansas appears to get what they want but nothing is working right now. Johnson gets his defender in the air, seems to draw contact as he shoots. But no whistle and the ball rattles out. Withey then grabs the offensive rebound but can't put it back in. Davis grabs the rebound and Young fouls him. And, that sums it up..

That Taylor hoop followed by the charge on Davis seemed perhaps the nascent stage of a momentum swing to Kansas. But before you can say "rock chalk.." Kentucky is back on the front foot.

Johnson misses from close range... MKG skies for the defensive rebound and Kentucky is coming back.. THREE for Miller.

Taylor hits a bucket for Kansas. Then, at other end, Davis is called for a charge on Young.

Robinson is outscoring the frosh, 4-0. But Davis is far more impactful. Davis bothers another shot that misses and grabs his 8th rebound.

At the other end, Lamb nails a three. It's all Kentucky and the scoreboard reflects that, 34-19.

Out of the timeout, Kansas gets exactly the shot they want -- a Teahan three -- but it's short.

@ TCPMattMay : MEDIA TO (6:52) - UK 31, Kansas 19; Davis with 0 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 assists. Been completely dominant w/o scoring.

@ art_stapleton : Kansas' one-and-dones having as much impact on tonight's game as Kentucky's one-and-dones #emptytrips #NCAAFinals

@ GaryParrishCBS : Attention Twitter: You have 27 minutes and 14 seconds left to clown John Calipari for never being able to win the big one. So enjoy it.

Under 7 minutes in the first half and Kentucky has four players with 6 or more points. Kansas has zero.

Teague drains a triple and the lead has bulged to 12 points. And Davis has still yet to score..

Robinson has another shot blocked and Davis continues to be a factor even without scoring.

Lamb hits 1 of 2 from the line and the 'Cats lead is 9. Foul on Releford.

Withey bulls inside after a UK turnover and gets another bucket. He leads Kansas with five points.

Kidd-Gilchrist sinks a jumper to push the lead to double digits for Kentucky. The teenager from New Jersey is having a stellar game so far, 9 points and as many bruises.

This is Nantz's phrase to describe the acrobatic bucket that Teague just dropped in after a back-door cut.

@ ESPNAndyKatz : I don't remember seeing a freshman play with such a drive like MKG to the basket. He just bulldozed his way inside, took a beating, got up.

@ rickbozich : No points from Anthony Davis. Kansas 2 for 2 on three-pointers. And Kentucky still leads by six.

@ SethDavisHoops : Six words that should scare Kansas fans: Anthony Davis has yet to score.

Kansas moving the ball around the perimeter after the timeout. Working clock.. and Releford sinks a three!

Kidd-Gilchrist knifes in for another pair for Kentucky, Again, he absorbs plenty of contact and drops. Kansas timeout as they trail, 23-14, as we get to 10 minutes in the half.

Jones back down for the dunk at one end. And Robinson is swarmed by white shirts after they flip the court.

Top 7 Strategies for a Successful Parent-Teacher ... - Self Improvement

As the school semester draws to an end, most teachers aim to schedule parent-teacher conferences. In these conferences, your child?s teacher will give you valuable information about how the child is doing academically, socially and emotionally while at school.

Sometimes, teachers share results of various tests and explain what the test scores mean in relation to your child. Also, the teacher hopes to gather helpful information about you. This may include what you think about your child?s level of academic performance and what you may know about what motivates your son or daughter.

By using these meetings to their best advantage, you can help your child enjoy greater success.

These strategies can help you prepare for a successful parent-teacher conference:

Be prepared: list your questions. What do you want to know about how your child is doing socially, academically, and emotionally at school? Write down your questions so you don?t forget them. Seek specific information, like:

• Why does your son never have math homework?
• Are you concerned your child is lagging behind in Social Studies?
• Would tutoring help?
• Why does your son get detention all the time?
• Is your daughter shy at school? Does she have trouble making friends?

Arrive on time. You might be surprised at the number of parents who arrive late, expecting the instructor will be waiting, only to find she?s already started the next conference! Yes, your time is valuable. The teacher?s time is too, and she has many more students and families to accommodate.
Listen and follow the teacher?s lead. The teacher will have an agenda of everything she is required to review during the parent-teacher conference, and probably some optional items, too. When the conference begins, take the teacher?s direction in terms of how to proceed.

• Some instructors want to get through their agenda before entertaining your questions.
• Others are willing to suspend their formal review to address your questions and concerns.
• Other teachers may simply ask what you would like to accomplish during the conference.

Keep in mind that the teacher is on a schedule. Some busy instructors actually need to schedule their conferences every 15 minutes! If you keep questions and concerns concise and brief, you?ll both be less frustrated about what must be accomplished.
Inquire about teaching strategies. If you?re curious about how the teacher approaches a certain subject with the kids, your conference is a good time to ask about it.
Cooperate with the teacher. For example, if the teacher states she?d like you to email her weekly about Johnny?s math homework, wholeheartedly agree to do it. And then follow through.

• Your cooperation with the teacher is integral to the process of ensuring your child gets a good education.

Show appreciation. Everyone wants to be recognized for their professional skills. Let the teacher know you notice what she?s doing with your child. Thank her for her hard work.

Do your part to have helpful, informative conferences. After all, you and the teachers are ?in it together? when it comes to educating your children. Follow these strategies to have a successful parent-teacher conference, and ultimately, your child will reap the benefits of your efforts.

Toshiba Portege Z835-P370

If you're shopping for an ultrabook, you've got to at least consider Toshiba. Four months after its introduction, the company's Portege Z830/835 remains the lightest in its class at 2.5 pounds (versus 2.9 to 3.3 pounds for most rivals), with the best collection of ports?including Ethernet, HDMI, VGA, and a memory-card reader?that some ultrabooks leave out or delegate to dongles, as does the Dell XPS 13 ($999.99 direct, 4 stars).

We've tested two versions of the Toshiba already, the thrifty but sluggish Intel Core i3-powered Portege Z835-P330 ($799.99 list, 3.5 stars) and the fast but pricey Core i7-based model Z830-S8302 ($1,429 list, 3.5 stars). Now we're looking at the middle or Core i5 model, the Toshiba Portege Z835-P370 ($1,049.99 list)?and at the risk of sounding Goldilocksian, it's our favorite of the three.

Design
The super-skinny (0.6 by 12.4 by 8.9 inches, HWD) Z835-P370 gets its light weight from a magnesium alloy chassis that makes its base surprisingly sturdy?unlike its vanishingly thin screen, which flirts with the F word (flimsy) if you grasp its corners and wiggle them. In its favor, however, our test unit's screen hinge didn't get the shakes during typing as our Toshiba Z830-S8302's did.

The 13.3-inch display has the same mediocre 1,366 by 768 resolution as every ultrabook we've seen, excepting the 1,600-by-900-pixel Asus Zenbook UX31-RSL8 ($1,049 list, 4 stars) and HP Envy 14 Spectre ($1,399.99 direct, 4 stars). It's nicely bright, with sharp text and colors despite narrowish viewing angles; between the screen and the LED-backlit keyboard, we had no trouble working through a long evening in a less-than-brightly-lit room.

Besides the backlight (which by default turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity, though you can switch it permanently on or off), the keyboard offers an admirable layout, with dedicated Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys instead of doubling up these functions on the cursor arrows. We didn't test Toshiba's claim of its spill resistance, but we soon grew accustomed to its firm, somewhat shallow typing feel. Speaking of dedicated, the Toshiba's touchpad has two chrome mouse buttons instead of the mere clicky corners in fashion nowadays; their slightly stiff operation is a contrast to the pad's smooth gliding and tapping.

Features
The Z835-P370 does not have the Intel Smart Connect technology that the HP Envy 14 Spectre and Dell XPS 13 can tap into to update Microsoft Outlook and other Internet applications while the system sleeps (though one of its USB 2.0 ports can charge handheld devices while the system sleeps). But it has other wireless capabilities including Wi-Fi, WiDi or Wireless Display, and Bluetooth.

While the Toshiba ultrabook has no optical drive, we've already mentioned its impressive array of ports. Microphone and headphone jacks and an SD card slot are found on the left side of the chassis, with a USB 3.0 port on the right. Two USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, an HDMI port for modern monitors, and a VGA port for older displays or projectors are at the rear.

The Portege's 128GB solid-state drive has 77GB of free space out of the box, the rest occupied by everything from a system recovery partition to a measly 30-day trial of Norton Internet Security to Google Chrome and a slew of Toshiba-brand utilities. As expected, the SSD makes the little laptop a lot perkier than a hard-drive-based system, booting in 26 seconds and resuming from sleep in 3 seconds by our stopwatch.

Performance
The Z835-P370's one-year warranty doesn't stand out from its competitors. Nor does its Intel Core i5-2467M processor, the same 1.6GHz dual-core, four-thread chip found in a handful of popular ultrabooks including the Dell XPS 13 and our Editors' Choice HP Folio 13 ($1,048.99 direct, 4 stars). Its 6GB of standard RAM tops the 4GB usually found in the $1,000-street-price segment, but didn't bring the performance boost we hoped to see in our benchmark tests.

The Z835-P370's PCMark 7 score of 3,122 was within the margin of error of the HP Folio 13's 3,146, a step behind the Dell's 3,535. It posted solid times in our Handbrake and Photoshop CS5 multimedia tests (2 minutes 30 seconds and 5 minutes 18 seconds, respectively). As with other ultrabooks, its Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics put the kibosh on any idea of serious gaming, falling short of 19 frames per second in both Lost Planet 2 and Crysis.

With a rundown time of 7 hours 21 minutes, the Z835-P370's 47Wh battery nearly tied those of the HP Folio 13 (7:33) and the Core i3 Portege Z835-P330 (7:35) and bested that of the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Thunderbolt) ($1,299 direct, 4 stars) (5:46). The larger 58Wh battery of the HP Envy 14 Spectre, however, remains our ultrabook champion at 8 hours 4 minutes.

Its more comfortable keyboard and elegant design touches narrowly keep the HP Folio 13 as our category Editors' Choice, but we're impressed by the Toshiba Portege Z835-P370. With the same light weight and high connectivity plus the best price/performance ratio of Toshiba's ultrabook trio, it'll never be a briefcase burden.
